+ The Career Development component provides academic credit to individuals
who have completed requirements for journeyman's certification or its equiv-
alent in selected trades or crafts and constitutes one-fourth of the degree pro-
gram.
Journeyman's certification in selected trades or crafts is defined as those appren-
ticeable programs which require a minimum of four (4) years (8,000) hours of on-
the-job training and a minimum of 576 hours of related instruction to supplement
on-the-job training. Such training may be given in a classroom or through corre-
spondence courses.
Equivalent training is defined as manual, mechanical or technical skills and
knowledge obtained in on-the-job work experience and related instruction to sup-
plement on-the-job training with a company which is not registered with the
Pennsylvania Apprenticeship and Training Council Department of Labor and
Industry. It further involves the development of skill which is not restricted in
application to products of any one company, but which is broad enough to be
applied in like occupations throughout an industry.
Criteria for Apprenticeable Occupations
An apprenticeable occupation is a skilled trade which possesses all of the follow-
ing characteristics:
1. It is customarily learned in a practical way through a systematic structural
program of on-the-job, supervised training.
2. It is clearly identified and commonly recognized throughout an industry.
3. It involves manual, mechanical or technical skills and knowledge which
require a minimum of 8,000 hours of on-the-job work experience, not includ-
ing the hours spent on related instruction.
4. It requires related instruction to supplement on-the-job training. Such instruc-
tion may be given in a classroom or through correspondence courses.
5. It involves the development of skill which is not restricted in application to
products of any one company, but which is broad enough to be applied in like
occupations throughout an industry.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE AND AREA STUDY
SPECIALIZATION
Students majoring in the social sciences or in foreign languages may, with the
consent of their major area department chairperson, pursue Foreign Language and
Area Study Specialization in one or more of the world's major countries or cul-
ture areas.
Specializations now available at the University are African Studies (French as the
language requirements); Latin American Studies (Spanish); Western Europe
Studies (French, Spanish or German); Russia Studies (Russian); Canadian Studies
(French) and Middle East Studies (French).
Students pursuing this program will undertake an independent study course in
their major discipline and will be required to pass an oral comprehensive exami-
nation administered by interdisciplinary Foreign Language and Area Study facul-
ty committees.
The requirements for a specialization in any of the Foreign Language and Area
study fields will include a minimum of 30 hours of course work in at least four of
the participating departments. The language requirements can be satisfied by the
study of 12 hours of the area language or by demonstrating, by examination, inter-
mediate competency in the spoken and written language.
Interested students should discuss this specialization with their major area depart-
ment chairpersons as soon as possible after matriculation at the University.
