An alternate route is for a student to start at Edinboro, complete two years of
study, and then apply for admission as a transfer student to the two-year Wildlife
Technology major at the DuBois campus of Penn State. Again, if the student is
admitted and successfully completes the two-year WLT program there, Edinboro
will award the bachelor's as above. A student following the latter route should
contact the admissions office at the DuBois campus of Penn State, DuBois, Pa.,
15801 regarding admission. This should be done early in the year preceding the
time of anticipated entrance. The various courses at Edinboro University which
deal with wildlife are described in this catalogue under Biology courses.

The department offers course work leading to an associate degree in business
administration, baccalaureate degrees in economics and business administration,
and a minor program in economics. The B.S. degree in business administration
offers four concentrations: accounting and forensic accounting, comprehensive
business administration, financial services, and marketing. The overriding goal of
all of these programs is to prepare students for a successful professional career in
the field he or she has chosen. The department recognizes that an integral part of
this preparation is the exposure of students to the liberal arts, and sciences and so
each of the programs offered by the department has this general education expo-
sure as a required component.
The department actively participates in the University internship program, assist-
ing students in placement with regional business organizations to gain practical
employment experience. Academically superior juniors and seniors may be nom-
inated for membership in a national business honor society.
In order to be graduated from a program offered by the department, the student
must have a 2.0 cumulative grade point average in all courses taken in the depart-
ment offered for graduation.

This is the recommended course sequence necessary to complete the Associate of
Science in Business Administration degree requirements in four semesters. The
student should meet with his/her academic advisor for individualized advice on
course sequencing. Academic advisors can only advise; meeting graduation
requirements is the student's responsibility.
Most upper-level (300 or above) department courses are offered only one semes-
ter a year (i.e. either only in the fall semester or only in the spring semester). This
recommended course sequence assumes the odd numbered semesters are fall
semesters and the even numbered semesters are spring semesters. A list of fall
semester only and spring semester only courses is available in the department
office (215B Hendricks) and on the department web page.
