HISTORY Bloomsburg State College has passed through many stages since the founding of the Bloomsburg Academy in 1839. The Academy became the Bloomsburg Literary Institute in 1856 and by 1869 was designated Bloomsburg Literary Institute and State Normal School. In 1927 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 enas the 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 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 and a Master of Arts 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 In 1957 Bloomsburg campus plan for building and development. became the first State Teachers College in Pennsylvania to have a campus plan approved by the Department of Public Instruction. New buildings at Bloomsburg include the College Commons ( 1956). (1959). the new North Hall residence hall for men (1960). the East and West Hall residences for women (1964). the air-conditioned Andruss Library (1966), the air-conditioned Haas Auditorium which seats 2.000 ( 1967). the South Hall residence for men (1967), Elwell Hall, another men's residence hall (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 residence hall, 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. Sutliff Hall LIVING ACCOMMODATIONS Housing for Bloomsburg State College students is available in modern well-kept residence halls. Meals are served in the pleasant atmosphere of the College Commons. These facilities are available to graduate students during the summer term at a reasonable cost. Requests for information concerning available residence hail accommodations may be secured by writing the Dean of Students.

Graduate courses for students desiring to secure the Master of Education degree in Biology, Business Education, Communication Disorders, Elementary Education, English, Foreign Languages, General Speech, Geography, History, Reading, Social Studies, and Special EduIn cation for the Mentally Retarded are now offered by the College. 1968 the first Master of Arts degree was offered in the field of history. The program is under the direction of the Division of Graduate Studies operating within the framework of policies and curriculums developed and approved by the Graduate Council of the College. 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 of graduate studies at Bloomsburg State College has as its primary purpose the increasing of the competency of teachers in Pennsylvania. To achieve this, the following specific objectives, as they relate to the individual student, have been developed. 1. To encourage independent thought and initiative and develop problem-solving ability. 2. To provide an incentive for continuing professional growth. 3. 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. 4. To develop a more comprehensive understanding of the teach5. ing and learning processes. To provide opportunity for advanced study in a selected field of specialization. SCHEDULING OF CLASSES All graduate classes will be scheduled during late afternoons, eveand /or Saturdays during the regular academic year.

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 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, the the student's advisory committee before the project is undertaken. final written 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 three semester hours will be granted. The student should consult the curriculum outline for his field to determine the option to the Master's Re- A search Paper. Specific procedures are available in the Office of Gradu- ate Studies. TIME LIMIT All requirements for the Master's degree must be completed within a six year period immediately preceding the date on which the degree is to be conferred. This time limit includes all credits transferred from other institutions. In very unusual circumstances, this period of time may be extended. If an extension of time is desired, written application should be made to the Director of Graduate Studies.

MASTER OF EDUCATION IN HISTORY Individual graduate courses in history fulfill partial requirements for the Masters Degree in Secondary Education in History. Each course serves at least six common objectives: 1) Learning is student-oriented and thereby enables the student to pursue his study at a pace and in the by-ways of interest commensurate with the second objective, 2) mastery in depth of a broadly prescribed segment of historical study; 3) the student acquires knowledge of the basic literature of the subject of the course, and 4) reviews fundamental research experience in the primary literature of a topic suitable to both student interest and course content; 5) the student learns, often by precept, new informational and interpretative approaches to the presentation of the discipline of history generally and of the content of course specifically. And finally, and most important, 6) the student acquires a deeper appreciation of his own professional commitment to the pursuit of understanding through history. Cumulatively, courses in history enable the student to command a greater portion of historical understanding. The student enters into or returns to his chosen career more competent to understand and to judge both the past and the present of human society. 19 I.
