This thriving community, with a population in excess of 10,000, is located 75 miles northeast of Harrisburg on U. S. Route 1 1 Regularly scheduled public transportation is available to surrounding cities and towns with express bus service to Philadelphia, 125 miles southeast, New York City, 155 miles east, and Washington, D.

HISTORY Bloomsburg State College has passed through founding of the Bloomsburg Academy in 1839. many stages since the The Academy became Bloomsburg Literary Institute in 1856 and by 1869 was designated Bloomsburg Literary Institute and State Normal School. In 1927 the Bloomsburg State Normal School, a name acquired in 1916, became the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. With the change in name, the long-established program for the training of elementary teachers was en- the as the A larged to include a four-year degree curriculum. business teachertraining program was introduced in 1930 as a part of the expansion of curricular offerings for secondary school teachers. By 1950 the college was fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, an accreditation which was reaffirmed in 1960 and extended to include a program of graduate studies. This same year the college reached another historic milestone in its life as it became Bloomsburg State College. ACCREDITATION Bloomsburg is fully accredited by the National Council Teacher Education and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and has been approved to offer the Master of Education degree by the Pennsylvania State Board of Education. State College for Accreditation of CAMPUS Years before college enrollments began to soar, President Andruss and the Board of Trustees sensed the need for a coordinated long-range campus plan for building and development. The idea bore fruit in 1957 when Bloomsburg became the first State Teachers College in Pennsylvania to have a campus plan approved by the Department of Public Instruction. The development of the campus plan has been accompanied by the most extensive building program in the history of the college. 1 New buildings at Bloomsburg include the College Commons (1956), Hall (1959), the new North Hall Dormitory for Men (I960), the East and West Hall Dormitories for Women (1964), the air-conditioned Andruss Library (1966), the air-conditioned Haas Auditorium which seats 2,000 (1967), the South Hall Dormitory for Men (1967), Elwell Hall, another men's dormitory (1968), and the Hartline Science and Classroom building (1969). In the near future the college will have a new Athletic Field, an air-conditioned Dining Hall seating 1.000, the first part of a new Student Center, additional parking areas, a Women's Dormitory, another classroom building, a Field House-Gymnasium to seat 4,000, and new maintenance facilities. Additional buildings will be erected on the lower campus as well as the recently acquired sixty-eight acres which formerly comprised the Bloomsburg Golf Course.

Graduate courses for students desiring to secure the Master of Education degree in Business Education, Elementary Education, Biology, English, Foreign Languages, History, Reading, General Speech, Communication Disorders, and Special Education for Mentally Retarded are now offered by the College. The program is der the direction of the Division of Graduate Studies operating within framework of policies and curriculums developed and approved by Graduate Council of the College. Social Studies, the unthe the PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES The need for professional education for teachers extending beyond the undergraduate level has long been recognized by educational leaders throughout the United States. In recent years the Pennsylvania State Council of Education has taken positive action to improve instruction in public schools by upgrading certification requirements for teachers. This action indicates a clear recognition by the State Council of the need for training beyond the Bachelor's degree. Mandated salary schedules which provide salary differentials for holders of Master's degrees in the form of higher maximum salaries give additional recognition of the value of graduate study. The program as its of graduate studies at Bloomsburg State College has primary purpose the increasing of the competency of teachers in Pennsylvania. To achieve this, the following specific objectives, as they have been developed. To encourage independent thought and initiative and develop problem-solving ability. To provide an incentive for continuing professional growth. To develop a basic understanding of research methods and techniques so that reports of research in the field of education may be correctly interpreted and evaluated. To develop a more comprehensive understanding of the teaching and learning processes. To provide opportunity for advanced study in a selected field of relate to the individual student, 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. specialization.

PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH REQUIREMENT Professional research is considered to be an integral part of all graduate programs at Bloomsburg. The requirements of individual courses should reflect this philosophy and should contribute to the student's concept of the place of research in professional activities. In addition, the student is required to complete a Research Option as part of his degree program. This option will include the Master's Research Paper and/or Thesis for all departments or either a Departmental Paper or Departmental Seminar, depending on the specific department involved. 7 In all cases the option will be determined by the department in which the student is enrolled. The Master's Research Paper and/or Thesis will offer the student an opportunity to engage in research of limited scope pertaining to some area in a school situation which needs study and improvement, or to some specific aspect of an academic area. In-service teachers may wish to select a project which is concerned with an existing problem area in the school system with which they are currently associated. the the The Master's Research Paper and/or Thesis must be approved by Chairman of the student's advisory committee, and a formal plan for completion of the project must be submitted to, and approved by, A advisory committee before the project is undertaken. report of the project, prepared in conformity with requirements established by the Graduate Council, must be approved by the student's advisory committee with copies submitted to the office of the Division of Graduate Studies for permanent filing before credit of two semester hours will be granted.
