Special Guidelines for Advisers
Locations other than University Park
- The number of semesters students may study at locations other
than University Park depends on the availability of courses offered
at a particular location and the requirements of the studen's major.
- Advisers at other locations should take special note of courses
in each major scheduled for the third and fourth semesters. Some
basic courses in the natural sciences, and technical courses in the
major field, are not available at all locations. Students who cannot
be accommodated with these courses should seek a change of assignment
to University Park by the third semester to complete prerequisites
to advanced courses and thereby remain on schedule; therefore, it
is imperative advisers be aware of the program of courses in each
major so students may seek change of assignment to University Park
at the proper time.
- Most majors in agriculture are based on the natural sciences.
All plant and animal majors and majors in FD SC and E R M are based
on prerequisites in BIOL, CHEM (including organic), and BIOCH. Prescribed
additional or supporting courses in the natural sciences and quantification
courses should be scheduled according to the tabular outline since
many of the agriculture courses depend on those courses as prerequisites
to specific agricultural courses. Do not allow students to avoid
these courses in the early semesters. Technical agriculture courses
taken by students at University Park assume adequate preparation
in the biological and physical sciences.
- The Agribusiness Management
major is a social science-based major. It requires only 12 credits
in the natural sciences. Campuses with
courses in economics and business may accommodate students in this
major for up to two years without serious scheduling problems upon
arrival at University Park.
- MATH 001, 002, 003, 004, and ENGL 004 are considered remedial
courses and may not be used to satisfy requirements of any major
or in meeting the total credits for graduation or used as elective
credits. This policy will apply also to any new courses that may
be added primarily for remedial purposes.
- Planning for an international
experience should begin early, especially for students at non-University
Park locations.
