social science degree

The Behavioral Science and Education
Division has given its degree a new name.
Beginning in December 1992, on
graduation day, students may receive a
B.S. in behavioral sciences.
The degree was previously called a
Bachelor of Social Science. The B.S.
degree is stronger because it is the standard
social science degree awarded at most
colleges, according to Betty Fortner,
acting division head of Behavioral
Sciences and Education.
Some colleges did not recognize the
former 8.8.5., which sometimes made
application for graduate school difficult.
Employers, as well as graduate
schools, are more accepting of the new
degree designation, Fortner said.
Fortner said the program revision also
brought a change from options to majors.
Previously, all B.S.S. students majored in

Once every semester, Penn Slate
Harrisburg offers a three-session program
to students—" How to Study Smarter Not
Harder."
The first session, held froml2:ls to
1:30 p.m. Jan. 28 in W-207, was a time
management workshop which discussed
students' inability to construct and follow
a time schedule. The goal of this session
is to prioritize rcsponsiblitics and to allow
adequate time for each.
Linda Mcashcy, coordinator of
academic development programs,
supervised the first session. Mcashcy said
a schedule is a guideline that should be
flexible, alleviate stress and give a student
effective time management skills.
Mcashcy described some frequent time
wasters to the three students attending the

ihc behavioral sciences and specialized in
one of five options.
Options, like the B.S.S. were not
recognized by other colleges, and the
behavioral science major was too broad
and general, Fortner said.
The new program was broken down
into four specific majors: psychology,
applied behavioral science, sociology and
general social science.
Dawn Wagner, a junior behavioral
science major, chose to change her course
study to gain the greater recognition of the
B.S. degree.
"It was an adjustment," Wagner said.
"There arc new required courses to fit into
my schedule, and some of the old
requirements are no longer needed, but the
new degree will help me in the long run,"
she said.
The new program was approved in fall
1991, but will not officially go into effect
until summer 1992.

productive.
Alice Ogwal, a mother, housewife and
accounting major, came to the meeting to
find tips for better time organization,
productive studying, and improving
grades.
Lcakcmaria Nazareth, also an
accounting major, works and is a full-time
student. Nazareth said she wanted to
improve time management skills.
Mcashcy commented that many
engineering students come to this type of
program since they arc often stressed and
overloaded. Paul Cell, an electrical
engineering student, said he was looking
for ways to improve his grades.
The second session, Feb. 4,
emphasized study habits and note-taking
skills. Suggestions were given on how to
