GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduction

Bloomsburg State College, as one of the fourteen state-owned institutions of
higher education in Pennsylvania, has been charged by the Commonwealth to serve as
"...a center of learning for the best possible education of the youth of Pennsylvania in the
and sciences and to provide able and dedicated teachers..."
The arts and sciences are regarded as fundamental to all of the activities implied
by this charge. During the past several years, the College has moved to strengthen the
academic departments and to expand the range of services through the addition of
pre-professional programs, continuing education, programs in the health-related
sciences and business administration.
In addition to undergraduate programs the College offers masters degrees in a
variety of academic disciplines.

History
An academy

"to teach youth the elements of a classical education" was

established in Bloomsburg in 1839.

The academy continued with

varied fortunes until

1856, when a charter was prepared and stock issued to reorganize as Bloomsburg
Literary Institute.
building now known as Carver Hall in memory of Henry Carver,

A

principal at the time,

was erected

in 1867.

Largely through the efforts of J.P. Wickersham, Superintendent of Public
Instruction, Bloomsburg Literary Institute became Bloomsburg Literary Institute and
State Normal School in 1869; it continued under this name and organization until 1916
when it was purchased by the Commonwealth and called Bloomsburg State Normal
School.
The emphasis at the Normal School changed during the early 1920's from
secondary and college-preparatory courses for special teachers to full-time teacher
education. In May 1927 the institutional name was changed to Bloomsburg State
Teachers College, authorized to grant a Bachelor of Science in Education for teachers
in elementary and secondary schools.
Under the administration of President Francis B. Haas (1927-1939), great
progress was made in the teacher education program. In 1930, a new area of study was
added with the degree program in Business Education. Several new buildings were
constructed and 18 acres of land added to the campus.
Upon the appointment of Dr. Haas as State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, then Dean of Instruction and a former Director of the

32/Buildings

Business Education Department, was appointed president, a position he held until his
retirement in 1969. During World War II, the US Navy V- 12 Officer Training Program
was conducted on the Bloomsburg Campus, a fact still commemorated by the name of

Navy

Hall. In 1957, a Division of Special Education

housed

was inaugurated, which

is still

in that building.

The major expansion of the College in buildings, faculty, and student body took
place after that. Full-time enrollments rose from 1,743 in 1960 to its present enrollment
of 4,743. In 1960 the name of the school was changed to Bloomsburg State College;
authorization was received shortly thereafter to grant the Bachelor of Arts degree for
liberal arts programs in humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. In 1960,
graduate study leading to the Master of Education degree was inaugurated. In 1968,
initial approval was received for the degree, Master of Arts in 1970; for the degree,
Master of Science, and in 1976 for the Master of Business Administration

The

college

now

exists as a multiple-purpose institution offering liberal arts,

business and teacher education curricula at the undergraduate and master's degree
levels,

and other professional curricula

Buildings And Facilities

Campus
The campus of Bloomsburg State College is comprised of two tracts called the
Lower Campus and Upper Campus, with a total area of 173 acres.
The Lower Campus comprises the original campus and adjacent areas subsequently acquired. It contains the residence halls, dining hall, college store, administration building, auditorium, library, academic buildings and recreation areas. The Upper
Campus, a half mile from the Lower Campus, contains the E.H. Nelson Field House, the
Redman Stadium, the Litwhiler Baseball Field and three practice areas. Long-range
plans presume further development of the Upper Campus for academic and recreation
purposes.

Instructional Buildings
Bakeless Center for the Humanities completed in 1970, is an air-conditioned
building containing classrooms, lecture halls, faculty offices, and an exhibit area. It is
used primarily by the departments of English, art, languages and cultures, speech,

economics, and political science. The building was named for the Bakeless family
including; Professor Oscar H. Bakeless, a graduate of the school and former distinguished member of the faculty; his wife, Sara H. Bakeless, a graduate and former
faculty member; their son, Dr. John E. Bakeless, a graduate of the college, an author,
and a recipient of the Alumni Distinguished Service Award; their daughter, Mrs. Alex
Nason, a graduate and benefactor of the college; and their daughter-in- law, Mrs.
Katherine L. Bakeless, graduate of the school and a nationally-known author.
Hartline Science Center completed in 1968, is an air-conditioned facility with
classrooms, lecture halls, seminar rooms, laboratories, faculty offices, and an exhibit

area;

The name of the building honors Daniel
and

his son Dr.

S. Hartline, a former teacher of biology,
H. Keffer Hartline, 1968 Nobel Prize laureate and recipient of an

Alumni Distinguished Service Award.
Sutliff Hall, completed in 1960, contains classrooms and faculty offices of the
School of Business and several laboratories and classrooms for physical sciences.
William Boyd Sutliff, for whom the building was named, was a teacher of mathematics

and the first Dean of Instruction of Bloomsburg State Normal School.
Benjamin Franklin Hall, completed in 1930 for use as a campus laboratory
school, is now used for college classes, administrative offices, and the Computer Services
Center.

Navy Hall was constructed in 1939 as a campus laboratory school but was
converted during World War II for the use of candidates enlisted in the Navy V-12
Officer Training Program. It now houses the work in special education and communication disorders and provides a number of other classrooms and offices.
Science Hall, often called "Old Science" to distinguish it from Hartline Science
Center, was built in 1 906. It houses the departmental offices of History and Psychology
and has several classrooms and some facilities used by the Art Department.
Centennial Gymnasium, completed in 1939, contains a gymnasium which seats
1,200, two auxiliary gymnasiums, a swimming pool, and offices and classrooms for
physical education and athletics.

E.H. Nelson Field House is located on the upper Upper Campus and was
completed in 1972. It provides a varsity basketball court and folding bleachers for 2,600
spectators. There is an indoor track, and a six-lane varsity swimming pool with seating
for 500 spectators. Faculty offices, handball courts, classrooms, shower and dressing
areas, equipment rooms, and special rooms for physical training and therapy are
included. The building is used for health and physical education classes, varsity athletic
contests, and for other activities requiring seating of large audiences.
Bus transportation is provided between this building and the Lower Campus.
Dr. E.H. Nelson, for whom the building is named, was for many years Director
of Athletics.

Residence Halls, Dining Rooms, College Union
Columbia Hall, completed in 1970, is a seven-story residence hall housing four
hundred students. It contains lounges, study rooms, recreation areas, a special projects
room, guest rooms, and apartments for counselors.
Elwell Hall, completed in 1968, is a nine-story residence hall which can

The Computer Services Center, located in Benjamin Franklin Hall, serves the
diverse needs of the academic, administrative, and research communities on campus.
Most of the current computing needs for instruction, management and research
are met by the central computer, the UNI VAC 1 100, a powerful and versatile central
processing unit. This system has two million bytes (2 megabytes) or characters of
information of main memory. The system is directly accessible by both center and
remote terminals and is supporting seventy-two interactive users.
Complementing the UNIVAC system is a microcomputer lab. This facility,
located in F2 in Ben Franklin houses a complement of Apple II microcomputers with
48K
memory and disk drive. Additional microcomputers are located in various
departments and used by faculty for program development and in-class presentation.
Within many academic programs including the Computer and Information
Sciences major, students are exposed to the contemporary computer and the data
processing technology of a data-based system, on line inquiry, time sharing, program
development from a terminal, and dynamically changing files. Faculty working directly
with the computer have increased time to use computer assisted instruction material

STUDENT LIFE AND SERVICES

3.01 Introduction
It

is

desirable for each student to

become involved

in

extra-

curricular

organizations and residence hall programs; these provide opportunities to learn and

grow as a human being within an atmosphere of a living-learning center. Residence hall
programming is intended as a framework for emotional, social, academic, and personal
development; the programs involve dining service, social gatherings, cultural events,
discussion groups, athletics, judicial proceedings, and a variety of student organizations.
Commuting students are urged to work out travel schedules which permit them
to participate in activities and to spend as much time as possible on campus.
The educational value of these service depends upon the effort and involvement
of each student, whether resident or commuter.

3.02

College Policy
"Bloomsburg State College

exists for the transmission of

knowledge, the pursuit

of truth, the development of students, and the general well-being of society. Free inquiry

and free expression are indispensable to the attainment of these goals. As members of
the academic community, students should be encouraged to develop the capacity for
critical judgment and to engage in a sustained and independent search for truth."
(Quoted from the student handbook, Pilot, "Joint Statement on Rights,
Freedoms, and Responsibilities of Students.")
This statement, quoted from the student handbook, Pilot, "Joint Statement on
Rights, Freedoms and Responsibilities of Students," has been acknowledged as a
guiding principle in the normal operation of the college. Students are responsible for
understanding and abiding by the college's rules, policies, and regulations as stated in
the Undergraduate Catalogue, Pilot, and Residence Hall Manual. The extent to which
a student's physical handicap limits his/her ability to comply with these requirements
should be communicated to the Office of Health Services.

3.03

Student Financial Aid
The

programs available at Bloomsburg State College include
employment, and scholarships. Programs sponsored by the
Federal Government include Pell Grant (formerly Basic Grant), Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), National Direct Student Loan (NDSL), and
financial aid

grants, loans, part-time

College Work-Study (CWS). The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania-sponsored programs include PHEAA Grants, Guaranteed Student Loans, Parent Loans for undergraduate studies (plus), and Institutional (State) Student Employment. Other state
agencies sponsor state grants and guaranteed student loan and 'plus' loan programs.

Students who are residents of states other than Pennsylvania should contact their state
higher education department for further information.
Limited financial assistance is available to continuing Bloomsburg State College
students through Bloomsburg State College Scholarships. Interested students should
contact the Financial Aid Office directly.
All students wishing to apply for financial assistance must complete the State
Grant/Federal Student Aid Application. This application is available from the
Financial Aid Office, high school guidance counselors, or PHEAA, Towne House,
Harrisburg, PA, 1 7 1 02. The Financial aid brochure Bucks for Huskies further outlines
the various financial aid programs available and the application procedure for each.
Bucks for Huskies is distributed to all BSC students and is available upon request from

the Financial Aid Office.

44/Student Housing

All financial aid programs are regulated by the Department of Education, the
Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA), and/or Bloomsburg
State College policy. Accordingly, it is important to understand that a student may lose
financial aid by failing to maintain satisfactory progress towards completion of his/her
degree requirements as prescribed in the Bloomsburg State College Undergraduate
Catalog under Section 5.01 and the appropriate section in Bucks for Huskies.
Further information concerning financial aid may be obtained by contacting the
Financial Aid Office, Room 19, Ben Franklin Building, or by calling (717)389-3908.

THE COLLEGE DOES NOT APPROVE OR RECOMMEND RESIDENCES OFF
CAMPUS.Student off-campus residences are subject to periodic inspection by officials
of the Town of Bloomsburg and dwellings with four or more tenants must also meet the
standards of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.
Although students must rely on their own initiative to find suitable accommodations, the college Housing Office offers many programs and services for persons seeking
housing in town. Essentially a referral agency, the Housing Office collects data on off
campus housing opportunities, prepares housing and landlord directories, and provides
other useful information of interest to student/faculty tenants and their landlords.
Before any rental property is accepted for publication in the college campus housing

Community Government Association/45

directory, the owner must submit his/her premises to an inspection by the town building
code inspector and sign a statement pledging to provide equal opportunity in the rental

of the property.

Because the Housing Office does not assign students to off-campus residences,
any off campus negotiations are the sole responsibility of the students and the landlord.
However, should any difficulties arise concerning off campus housing, the Director of
Housing will gladly advise students on methods of solving such problems. If deemed
appropriate, Housing Office personnel will mediate student-landlord disputes, but only
on an informal, nonlegal basis.
Students planning to live off campus should have a clear understanding of their
rights and responsibilities as tenants. To help students prepare for off-campus life, the
Housing Office conducts educational programs for student tenants and offers free
literature on many topics of interest to off-campus renters. Copies of model leases,
apartment inventory checklists, departure notices, town street maps, and the local
housing codes are also available to interested students. Upon request, the Director of
Housing will help student renters conduct pre- and post-occupancy inventories of their
apartments or serve as an impartial observer for alleged violations of the housing codes
or other ordinances. Off-campus students are advised to obtain insurance coverage for
their belongings, since most landlords do not assume liability for the loss of, or damage
to, the personal property of their tenants.
Students residing off campus bear a dual responsibility as citizens of the town of
Bloomsburg and as members of the college community. The college cannot provide
sanctuary from the law nor can it be indifferent to its reputation in the community it

through personal experiences in field trips, field study, and certain types of experiential

departments to offer academic credit to students who participate. Quest experiences
range from one day to one semester in length, and may include participants from other
segments of the college community or the community at large.
The actual activities offered to accomplish the QUEST objectives are: rock
climbing, backpacking, canoeing, sky diving, sailing, rafting, bicycling, cross country
skiing. Additional activities include completion of initiative games and a challenging
ropes course. Equipment for most of the activities is available at no cost to the
participants. There is also a special five-day outdoor experience entitled Up Reach

Center For Academic Development

The goal of the program of the Center for Academic Development is to equalize
educational opportunity for students regardless of ethnic background or economic
status.

Any individual with a high school diploma or certificate of equivalency is eligible
admission to the program. Non-traditional criteria are applied in estimating
when it appears that the environmental background may have
adversely affected grades and/or standardized test scores. The Dean of Admissions may
require an applicant for the Center for Academic Development to file supplementary
information as is needed for proper consideration.
Opportunities for financial aid are described in a brochure which may be secured
from the Office of Financial Aid. (See Section 3.03.)
Students in the program of the Center are required to participate in a summer
developmental program prior to the first semester of their attendance and receive
tutoring and special counseling for academic, financial and social problems.

at the other institution(s).

For a transfer student to be considered for admission, he/she must be certified
as in good standing academically and otherwise in the college last attended and must

Applicants should bring an unofficial high school transcript if an application is not on
file. Personal interviews are available Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
A number of campus visitation days are held during the academic year.
Visitation days consist of a general meeting with Admissions personnel, students, and
administrative personnel, a question-and-answer session, a tour of the campus, lunch,
and academic department meetings. Participation in one of these visitation days may be
more meaningful than a personal interview because applicants have the opportunity to

Off Campus Visitations

Each year, the staff in the Office of Admissions visits high schools and
community colleges throughout Pennsylvania, and neighboring states, participating in
approximately 70 college night/career day programs, and the Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh College Fair programs. Prospective applicants are encouraged to check with
their high school or community college counselors to determine if an Admissions
representative will be visiting their institution or attending a nearby college night
program.

4.10 Orientation

New students are required to participate in orientation sessions intended to make
their start in college as

smooth and

effective as possible.

Freshmen entering

in the fall

semester are scheduled for one of four Sunday-to-Tuesday summer orientations. There
is a single one-and-one-half day summer orientation for fall transfers - also beginning
on a Sunday. For students who begin their academic programs in the summer or in
January, orientation is incorporated in the programs at their beginning. Orientation
information is sent to new students after their acceptance by the college and their
payment of admission fees. Fall freshmen receive this mailing in early May prior to their
fall enrollment.
The goals of orientation are: to familiarize students with the college, its people,
programs, services, and facilities; to help new students meet one another; to facilitate
educational and life planning, including development of good study skills and the
preparation of the first class schedule; to promote good human and interpersonal
relations among people of varied racial and social backgrounds; and to satisfy certain
pre-enrollment requirements such as the diagnostic reading test, the new student
questionnaire, and I.D. card processing. There are also opportunities for recreational,
social,

and co-curricular

activities.

Orientation helps students make a good beginning, but it cannot give them
everything they must know. Students, therefore, have the responsibility to read
appropriate segments of the Undergraduate Catalog and Pilot, to become familiar with

programs and policies pertinent to them and to ask questions when a problem or concern

regardless of the reason, must apply for readmission if they wish to re-enter.
Readmitted students are responsible for the graduation requirements and
academic policies which exist at the time of reentrance.
The Dean of Admissions may require an applicant for readmission to file a letter
containing such supplementary information as is needed for proper consideration.
Students under academic dismissal are ineligible for readmission for one

Advanced Placement

A student may receive a maximum total of 64 semester hours of credit by
examination or experiential learning. Credit may be awarded for successful completion
of institutional examinations and/or approved external examinations. The college
recognizes two external examination programs: the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and the Advanced Placement Program of the College Entrance
Examination Board.
The minimum score for awarding credit for general CLEP examinations is the
50th percentile of the Sophomore national norms. Credit is awarded for the subject
CLEP examinations for achievement at or above the mean score achieved by students
in the national norm sample who earned the grade of "C" in a regular college course in
the subject. Minimum scores for awarding credit and the amount of credit granted can
be secured by writing the Dean of Admissions.
A score of 5 or 4 on an Advanced Placement examination exempts a student from
the introductory course in the tested area and gives credit. Credit and advanced
placement are awarded in Calculus for a grade of 3. A score of 3 in all other areas
exempts a student, without credit, from the introductory course. Advanced placement
is

not granted for grades of 2 or

1

Advanced placement may be granted in English Composition after consideration
of verbal SAT, the Test of Standard Written English results and high school
achievement.

Brief course descriptions of subjects successfully completed should be included with
the semester they plan to enroll. Special application forms are required and

credentials.

Students may participate in a variety of study abroad programs during their
enrollment at Bloomsburg State College. Each summer the college offers courses for
credit in foreign countries, such as France, England, Spain, Ireland, and the Soviet
Union. As a member of the Pennsylvania Consortium for International Education,
Bloomsburg also offers summer courses in Salzburg, Austria, and Mexico, in cooperation with the other 13 state colleges and university. Through the Pennsylvania
Consortium for International Education, the college also makes arrangements for
Junior Year Abroad programs or Semester Abroad programs. Information about these
programs may be obtained in the Office of International Education.
Students in teacher education programs may be assigned to do their student
teaching in one of the centers abroad with which Bloomsburg cooperates: Quito,
Ecuador; Recife, Brazil; or Liverpool, England. Further information about this program
may be obtained by contacting the Coordinator of International Education.

Student Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the student to know and observe the academic policies
and regulations of the College; to confine registration to courses for which the
prerequisites have been satisfied and to meet the requirements for graduation.
In case of changes by the College in graduation or curriculum requirements, a

who attends without interruption may choose to satisfy either the
requirements as they existed at the time of entrance or the new requirements. In the
latter case, the student is responsible for knowing and understanding the new
requirements. A student who withdraws from the College for one or more semesters
must apply for readmission. A readmitted student is governed in this matter by the rules
of readmission (see Section 4. 1 1 ). A part-time student must apply to the Vice President
for Academic Affairs for permission to be graduated under the original requirements.

Academic Advisement
Entering students who upon application for admission indicated their preferred
curriculum are assigned to faculty advisers who specialize in advisement in these areas.
Assignments to advisers are made by the Coordinator of Academic Advisement with
advice of department chairpersons and deans.
Applicants for admission who are undecided about their curriculum should state
undeclared on the application instead of specifying a curriculum.
Students with questions or problems should seek assistance in the Office of
Academic Advisement, Benjamin Franklin Building.

Change of Schedule

A student may change his/her semester schedule prior to the close of the fifth day
of classes of the semester. This period of time is referred to as the drop/add period.
Application for change is made to the Registrar on a form which may be secured at the

schedule change area. The consent of the advisor is not prerequisite to a change, but the
student is responsible for informing the advisor of the change. Changes are subject to
available space in classes to which the student proposes to transfer. Students may attend
classes in accordance with an amended schedule only after certification by the
Registrar's office that the change has been completed officially.

Schedule adjustments for all Center for Academic Development students with
than 32 earned credits require the approval of the C.A.D. Tutorial Coordinator.
Schedule adjustments for students on academic probation, reinstatement, and minimal
academic progress require the approval of the academic advisor.
In cases where schedule adjustment conflicts arise between the academic advisor
and student, or when the academic advisor is unavailable for schedule adjustment
consultation, the student should bring the concern to the chairperson of the department
in which he/she is advised.
When conflicts cannot be resolved by the department chairperson, they should
be taken to the appropriate academic dean for resolution.

Repeat Policy /63

Withdrawal from the College

A student may withdraw from the College by securing an official withdrawal
form from the counseling center and returning it as directed. The withdrawal process
includes the clearing of all financial obligations, an exit interview with the Director of
Financial Aid, and the return of the ID card and meal ticket. Grades are given in
accordance with the policy stated under "Withdrawal from a Course." An individual
who discontinues attendance without completing the official withdrawal process and
clearing of all obligations to the college waives the right to a transcript and is denied
future readmission.
Policies

which cover reimbursements are stated

in

Section 2.8.

Pass-Fail Policy
After attaining sophomore standing, a degree student may elect courses on a
accordance with the following rules:
maximum of two courses (not more than 7 semester hours in total) may be
included as part of the minimum graduation requirement of 128 semester hours. No
more than one pass-fail course may be taken in any one semester.
A student may request to take a course on a pass-fail basis until the final day of
the Registration Period.
The courses must be electives in disciplines beyond the requirements of the
student's specialization. Specialization includes a major and any courses required in
pass-fail basis in

pass-fail basis may be applied toward the General Education Requirements. (See

Section 6.4)

Grades of A, B, C, D, or E are translated into grades of P or F, with the grade of P

Course Repeat Policy

A maximum of four courses (not more than

recorded may be repeated. The initial grade remains on the
transcript and is part of the student's permanent record. Quality points are awarded for
the grade of the repeated course only. The grade of the repeated course is part of the
permanent record and is used to calculate the student's quality point average. Multiple
repeats of the same course are considered as one repeat. A course taken at Bloomsburg

institution of higher education is included in the permitted maximum number of repeats.

Normal Load and Overload
The normal load of a student in any semester is 16 semester hours. A student in
good standing is limited to 18 semester hours, unless he/she receives permission for an
overload by his/ her academic advisor. A grade point average of 3.00 or higher is
required of the student before permission can be granted for an overload. (See Section
2.2 for overload fees.)

Credit by Examination

A

student may petition for the privilege of establishing credit in a course or
courses listed in the catalogue through a comprehensive examination instead of through
registration

and

class attendance.

The

following regulations govern this provision:

The student must

present evidence of adequate experience with the course
content either through experience other than college attendance or through independent

study of the course content.
student may not petition for an examination in a course audited, nor in a course
from which a failing grade has been recorded.

An examination committee must be appointed by the department chairperson
and approved by the dean of the school. Unless the course is an advanced course which
is taught by only one member of the faculty, the examination committee must include
at least two faculty members.
The examination must cover the course syllabus in a comprehensive manner.
Suitable standardized examinations may be used. The examination must be written or,
subject to transcription. Where skill, as in typewriting or shorthand, is a course
requirement, the written and oral aspects must be supplemented by demonstration of
skill. All papers must be filed in the department office for three years following
graduation.
If the student passes the examination, the grade of "P" is assigned for the course.
If he/she fails, no record is made. This course does not count in the student's normal
quota of pass-fail courses.
A special fee of $30 is charged for courses challenged by institutional examination taken for credit, regardless of the number of credits awarded for that course. Upon
receipt of approval, this fee is payable at the College Business Office. Evidence of
payment must be presented to the department before the examination can be

An auditor may not participate in laboratory or studio work if such work is part

of the course audited.

A part-time student may register as an auditor, subject to the provision that when
computing the fee paid by the student the course audited will be counted the same as if
it were taken for credit. Individuals who are not enrolled as students may apply for audit
privileges through the Dean of Extended Programs. Acceptance depends upon such
factors as space in class and educational background.

Class Standing

A student has academic standing as a freshman until he/she has 32 semester
hours of credit; as a sophomore from 32 to 63 semester hours, a junior from 64 to 95
semester hours, and a senior after 96 or more semester hours of credit. Transfer credit,
if any, is included in these figures.

Satisfactory progress towards the completion of degree requirements for a
continually enrolled full-time student requires that he/she must earn not less than

twenty-four semester hours (including developmental studies courses) in any given
twelve-month period unless extraordinary circumstances exist. At the end of each

marking period, full-time students failing to meet this requirement will be notified by
the Registrar's Office and granted the opportunity to file a written statement with their
school dean outlining the reasons for unsatisfactory progress as a full-time student. At
the request of the dean, a recommendation may also be required of the academic advisor.
Authorization to continue enrollment as a full-time student is the responsibility of the
appropriate school dean. Students who fail to earn a sufficient number of semester hours
towards the degree and who are not granted authorization to continue full-time may take
courses as part-time students until readmitted full-time.

Petitions to the Academic Review Board must be in writing and received by the
Chairperson of the Academic Review Board within 48 hours of receipt of official
notification of dismissal.

The Academic Review Board comprises

the Deans of the Schools of Arts and

Sciences, Professional Studies, and Business; a representative of the Vice President for

Student Life; the Director of the Counseling Center; the Dean of Admissions; the Dean
of Extended Programs; the Coordinator of Academic Advisement, and the Registrar of
the College. At the initiative of either the applicant or the Academic Review Board, the
student's advisor will be invited to participate as a voting

member

in the consideration

of the case.
In its evaluation of a petition for reinstatement, the Academic Review Board is
charged to consider: the degree to which external factors beyond the student's control
temporarily prevented optimum academic achievement; the likelihood that these or
similar factors would not recur if reinstatement were granted; the likelihood that the
student, if reinstated, could complete his/her curriculum successfully within a reasonable extension of the normal four-year period; an evaluation of the plan for attaining
Good Standing proposed by the student as a part of his/her petition; and such other
factors as may seem pertinent. Reinstatement is an expression of confidence on the part
of the Board in the student's potential for successful completion of his/her curriculum

and his/her fulfillment of its purposes.
A student whose petition for reinstatement has been denied by the Academic
Review Board may appeal the decision within 48 hours to a special panel consisting of
the vice presidents of the college. However, this may occur only if the dean of the school
in which the student has been enrolled supports the appeal. He/she may do this by
indicating to the vice presidents that pertinent factors might exist which were not placed
before the Board or not given sufficient attention. The appellant must petition in writing
through the Vice President for Academic Affairs. He/she may also be required to
appear before the vice president's panel in person. All members of the panel must concur
if they are to reverse the decision of the Academic Review Board. The decision of the
panel is final. A student reinstated by the panel of vice presidents may schedule no more
than

5.08 Evaluation

Of Transfer Credits

Evaluation of credit earned at other institutions by incoming transfer students

is

made by the Admissions Office with guidelines supplied by the department chairperson,
cooperatively established by the appropriate school dean. Credits for acceptable courses

and grade point averages do not transfer.
Acceptable courses must have been completed in an accredited college or
university or in a recognized or accredited junior college or community college. Courses
must be applicable to the student's curriculum either as substitutes for required courses
or as electives. Credit will be deleted if the student subsequently registers for courses
which substantially duplicate the content of courses accepted for transfer.

Courses taken in another institution on a pass-fail basis are acceptable if they
conform to the conditions for such grades at Bloomsburg State College.
A transfer student is issued an evaluation sheet which stipulates the requirements for graduation which remain to be met. This is subject to revision in the light of
subsequent changes in the evaluation of the transcript.
Students of Bloomsburg State College may take courses in other accredited
institutions and submit the credit for transfer, provided the courses have been approved

5.09 Cheating

Attempts by students to improve grades by cheating in tests and examinations or
by plagiarism in papers submitted to the instructor are offenses subject to penalties
which may be as severe as suspension or expulsion from school.
The instructor may assess penalties ranging from a privately administered
reprimand to a grade of E in the course. If the offense appears to merit a more severe
penalty, the instructor is responsible for initiating a request for formal consideration by
the Student-Faculty Judiciary Board.
In order to avoid the appearance of plagiarism resulting from ignorance of the
proper use of source materials, the student should study the practices governing use of
sources. Such information can be obtained from instructors or from handbooks found in
the library.

Curriculum/73

UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULA:
Introduction

6.1

Choice Of Curriculum

The undergraduate curricula are administered by three schools; the School of
Arts and Sciences, the School of Professional Studies, and the School of Business. The
requirements for the curricula are stated in the chapters which deal with these schools.
With the exception of students interested in studying in the programs in the
School of Business or in the Nursing program in the School of Professional Studies, all
baccalaureate degree seeking students are assigned to the School of Arts and Sciences
upon admission to the college. Students may declare themselves "undecided", or may
express an interest in studying in any of the arts and sciences, pre- professional, teacher
education or professional studies majors. In the latter case, they are tentatively assigned
to advisors in those areas. In either case, a student must have committed himself/herself
and received admission to a curriculum by the end of the sophomore year. (Students who
transfer to Bloomsburg State College with junior standing have a one semester grace
period on this requirement.)
When a student makes a tentative choice of a major he/she is assigned
preliminary or prerequisite courses required in that major. In curricula where admission
is selective or restrictive at the junior year entry-level, as in the case in several programs
in the School of Professional Studies, the college is not bound to admit the student if
he/she is not admissable according to the competition for available spaces or other
selective criteria.

Students electing to major in two departments must have a major advisor in each
department, meet all of the major requirements of each department and all of the
general education requirements. (See Section 6.4.) Double majors in some departments
may require more than the minimum 128 credits for graduation. Double majors in
departments in two different schools must have the permission of both school deans to
declare a double major.

6.2

Credit

Each curriculum which leads to a baccalaureate degree requires the successful
completion of 128 semester hours of credit. A semester hour is defined as the credit for
one weekly period of fifty minutes in lecture, discussion, or recitation for one semester.
In case a course requires laboratory, shop or studio experience, two or in some cases three
periods are considered as equivalent to one period of lecture, discussion or recitation.

SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES

General Administration
The School of Arts and Sciences is composed of seventeen academic departments

all

of which, except Health and Physical Education and Athletics, offer programs

leading to either the Bachelor of Science or the Bachelor of Arts degree or both.

The college was

first

authorized to offer the Bachelor of Arts degree in

1

960 and

the Bachelor of Science in 1963. After a period of slow growth in the early 1960's,

programs, departments, and enrollments in Arts and Sciences have increased steadily.
Growth of the School of Arts and Sciences has also made the college more
attractive to highly qualified, promising faculty, many of whom have been appointed in
the last decade.

Degrees
The degrees, Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) are
conferred for programs offered in the School of Arts and Sciences.
The aim of a program which leads to the degree, Bachelor of Arts, is to offer the
student opportunity for a liberal education through study in both breadth and depth of
disciplines

in

the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences and

mathematics.

The aim of a program which leads to the Bachelor of Science is to offer
opportunity for liberal education together with a specialization that may have the
potential of application.
There are two patterns for the Bachelor of Arts degree, a pattern of emphasis
upon a broad field and a pattern with a major in one of the academic disciplines.

7.2

Broad Area Programs For The Bachelor
Of Arts And Bachelor Of Science Degrees
These programs offer opportunities

for the student to follow a less conventional

curriculum according to his/her preference or the anticipated requirements of a
professional or graduate school or a profession at which he/she is aiming. The student
fulfills the 54 semester hours of General Education requirements and then chooses to
complete the prescribed Core Courses in the Humanities, the Social Sciences, or the
Natural Sciences and Mathematics. He/she completes a total of 48 semester hours in
the area of his/her core curriculum, with free electives sufficient to bring him/her up to
the 128 semester hour requirement for graduation. Students interested in a Broad Area
Program should meet with the Dean of Arts and Sciences.

For the Broad Area Program in Humanities, the requirements are:
English 363 Shakespeare

80/Independent Study

Pre-Medicine, Pre-Dentistry, Pre- Veterinary Medicine

Pre-Optometry, Pre-Pharmacy
As a rule, professional schools in these areas do not specify an undergraduate
major, but they do specify minimum essential courses, especially in the sciences and
mathematics. These minimum requirements usually include courses in general chemistry, organic chemistry, mathematics, biology and physics. High standards of undergraduate scholarship are demanded for consideration.

Pre-Law
Students who wish to prepare to study law should familiarize themselves with the
entrance requirements of law schools they are considering. A Pre-Law Advisory
Committee makes a continuing study of such schools; its members will advise students
in the choice of courses. Most law schools will consider applications from students with
widely varying majors, placing emphasis on a thoroughly cultivated mind rather than
any specific body of knowledge.

The Department of Chemistry is recognized by the Committee on Professional
Training of the American Chemical Society (ACS) as one which meets their nationally
recognized standards for under graduate education in chemistry. This recognition is of
significance to those students considering professional employment in the Chemical
industry and/or those seeking admission to postgraduate education programs in the
sciences and medicine. Students meeting the requirements for the B.S. degree in
Chemistry are certified by the Department to the national office of the ACS and become
eligible for membership in the society without the usual two-year waiting period.
Students who are interested in chemistry and also in business are urged to
discuss proper course selection with the chemistry faculty. Through a cooperative
program with the Department of Business Administration, it is possible for a student
to complete course and admission prerequisites for the Master of Business Administration degree during the four-year baccalaureate training in chemistry. The M.B.A.
degree can be completed in one year of additional postgraduate study.
Students interested in chemical engineering can earn a baccalaureate degree in
chemistry and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering through a cooperative program
with the Pennsylvania State University. Three years at B.S.C. and two years at Penn
State are required for this program.

ENGINEERING AND LIBERAL ARTSCOOPERATIVE PROGRAM
David Superdock-Program Coordinator}

(Dr.

The

faculties of

Bloomsburg State College and the Colleges of Engineering and

Earth and Mineral Science of The Pennsylvania State University have agreed to
program in liberal arts and engineering. Three years
will be spent by an enrolling student at Bloomsburg State College, where the student will
establish a cooperative educational

study liberal arts subjects along with pre-engineering courses
satisfactory completion of,

in the basic sciences.

Upon

and recommendation from that program, the student

will

spend two years commencing with the Fall Term at The Pennsylvania State University.
While at Penn State, he/she will complete the engineering course requirements as
specified by that institution. A successful completion of these programs will lead to an
appropriate baccalaureate degree from each institution. This program was created to
fulfill

the following objectives:
1

2.

To provide cooperatively a general education in a liberal arts institution
as well as technoligical education in a school of engineering for each
student enrolled so that through five years of study a student may
complete what otherwise could require six or more years.
To allow a student who has not yet made a decision between engineering
and other

3.

disciplines, an opportunity to examine his/ her appropriate
aptitudes and explore the various areas of study more carefully.
To provide a student with a planned sequence of liberal art courses

which, if completed successfully, would guarantee the the student
acceptance at an engineering school at times when student applications
to such schools might exceed their capacity.
4.

To allow those qualified students to receive both a liberal and technical
education at relatively low costs and in so doing, provide the Commonwealth and the Nation with more well-educated engineers.

Application for admission to the program will be
College.

The candidate

will

be subject to

its

made

to

Bloomsburg State

admission requirements.

A student will indicate the desire to follow the 3-2 program either at the time of
admission to Bloomsburg State College, or early enough in the student's program to
permit him/her to complete all required prerequisite courses. Results from aptitude and
achievement tests, records of scholastic achievement, and other pertinent information
will be exchanged between institutions to aid both in guiding and counseling enrolled
students and prospective students. A list of declared students' admissions profiles will be
prepared by the Bloomsburg State College admissions office each semester and
forwarded to the appropriate office at Penn State to provide some indication of the
number and academic quality of individuals entering the 3-2 program.
Bloomsburg State College may require higher academic standards for its generic
students seeking to transfer. To insure referral of students who will make a significant
contribution to the engineering profession, and to increase the likelihood of their success
within the program, the Bloomsburg faculty has instituted the minimum standard of a
2.75 quality point average (4.00 = A) in all required prerequisite courses. The overall
QPA for transfer is either 2.50 or 3.0 depending on the engineering program.

Engineering and Liberal Arts/103

A Pre-Engineering Advisory Committee consisting of representatives from each
department preparing students for study in the 3-2 program, acts as the screening and
recommending committee responsible for upholding the tenets of this articulation
agreement. This committee assists student recruitment and advisement and monitors
any changes proposed in the cooperative agreement, communicating these changes to
the Dean of Arts and Sciences in an advisory role.
The Pennsylvania State University may require a higher grade point average
because of space availability, departmental facilities, or changes in programs. Any
proposed change in the minimum quality point average will be communicated in writing
between institutional representatives as soon as the need for change is identified. All
changes will become effective with those students entering Bloomsburg State College in
the Fall, after Bloomsburg has been notified of the changes.
To initiate the transfer from one institution to the other, the individual student
should request an application from the Admissions Office of the Pennsylvania State
University in September of his/her third year at Bloomsburg. The request should
include a statement that the application is for the 3-2 program. The application should
clearly indicate that the student is applying as a 3-2 student and should be submitted
promptly-no later than November 30th. The completed application should be supported
by the following credentials: final high school record; two copies of the official
Bloomsburg State College transcript including all grades earned through the Spring
Semester of the second year; a schedule of courses for the Fall and Spring of the third
year, and a recommendation from Bloomsburg State College's Pre-Engineering
Advisory Committee that the student should be admitted to the 3-2 program. The
application and supporting credentials will be evaluated by the appropriate officer in the
Admissions Office and the Office of the Dean of the College of Engineering at The
Pennsylania State University. If the applicant meets the minimum requirements, the
applicant will be offered provisional admission to the Pennsylvania State Univerity in
the 3-2 program commencing with the Fall term.

At the end of the Spring semester of the third year, two copies of the final official
work taken at Bloomsburg should be forwarded to the Admissions Office
The Pennsylvania State University. The applicant's admission to The Pennsylvania

transcript of
at

State University will be changed from a provisional basis to a permanent basis if the
student has maintained the necessary overall average, is in good standing at Bloomsburg
State College, and has fulfilled

all

conditions,

if

any, specified in the student's

provisional admission.

A student recomended for transfer will be eligible to enter any of the following
engineering curricula with seventh term standing:
Aerospace Engineering
Agricultural Engineering

Ceramic Science and Engineering
Chemical Engineering
Civil Engineering

Electrical Engineering

State College and to those specially chosen by The Pennsylvania State
University faculty on basis of evidence that they will profit from the advanced
courses.

HISTORY SATELLITE PROGRAM
The history

satellite course

program

is

an innovative approach to provide

greater flexibility in the history curriculum, to offer students more choice and better
scheduling opportunities to enroll in history courses. Under the proposal a designated
three semester credit history course can be offered at a reduced credit value or for an
increased one semester credit value equivalent to class time and course content. Two
approaches, "satellite segment course" and "satellite derivation course" are available
for a student to take a fraction or an extension of an existing three credit semester
course. The "satellite segment course" permits a student to enroll in a reduced portion

of a designated course for either one or two credits. The "satellite derivation course"
allows a student to enroll in a specially designed one semester credit course, for an
enrichment or concentrated study of a significant topic or theme from the content of the
three semester credit course. Check the undergraduate schedule of courses for specific
satellite offerings

Scope of Teacher Education
Programs are offered for preparation of teachers for elementary schools,
academic subjects in secondary schools, special education, communication disorders
and business education. The business education program is administered by the School
of Business; the other teacher education programs are administered in departments of
the School of Professional Studies.

Aims
The teacher education program at Bloomsburg State College is committed to
improving the field of education through a comprehensive program which recognizes its
unique contribution to society, both as a reflection of that society and as an agent for the
improvement of society. To meet this obligation, the program draws upon the knowledge
and understanding of general as well as of professional education. It strives constantly
to blend the two in preparing a person to fulfill a role in society as an informed, inquiring,
and

skilled professional.

More

specifically, the teacher education staff provides:

the basic academic preparation for persons to acquire a depth and breadth of

knowledge

in

both general and specialized studies;

184/School of Professional Studies

the basic training to insure mastery of the specific skills necessary for competent
functioning as a professional;
the opportunity for the continued growth of professional educators through
formal programs of advanced study related to their particular field of interest;
the opportunity for further enrichment within the individual's area of professioncompetence through a regular program of speakers, seminars, and related activities;
the human and physical resources necessary to assist in the educational
development and growth of the community served by the college; and
the means for the advancement of knowledge through research in specific areas
al

of education.

Degree
Each of the undergraduate programs for teacher education leads to the degree,
Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S. in Ed.).

Accreditation of Teacher Education
The college is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of
Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Council on Education of the Deaf. The teacher
education programs outlined in this bulletin have been approved for teacher certification
by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The Speech, Hearing, and Language
Clinic is certified by the Professional Services Board of the American Speech, Hearing,
and Language Association.

Admission to Teacher Education
Students who wish to take teacher education curricula enroll initially in the
School of Professional Studies and schedule courses in harmony with the requirements
of the program they wish to follow. In due course, the students apply for admission to
teacher education. Usually, the screening for admission to teacher education takes place
after the student has completed 32 or more semester hours and has taken the Sophomore
Field Experience intended to help the applicant to assess his/her decision. Scholarship
and pertinent personal attributes are weighed in determining admission to teacher
education. These criteria reflect the responsibility of the college whose recommendation
is

the basis for issuing a teacher's certificate. If students

who were

initially enrolled in

the School of Professional Studies are not admitted to teacher education, they are
transferred to the School of Arts and Sciences.

Retention in Teacher Education
Admission to teacher education is equivalent to candidacy for the degree,
Bachelor of Science in Education. Candidacy for this degree is revoked in case of failure
to maintain the required Quality Point Average and may be revoked for other sufficient
reasons. If candidacy is revoked but the student is otherwise eligible to remain in the
College, he/she is transferred to the School of Arts and Sciences. In this case, the student
who wishes to be reinstated must reapply for admission to teacher education.

Field Experience
Students in teacher education are required to engage in the Sophomore Field
Experience during which they work in and observe the educational process in the school
of their choice. It is intended that this experience will help the students decide before the
junior year whether they wish to follow careers in teaching. Participants are exposed to
many aspects of teaching and to the operation of the whole school, thus providing
experience that should increase the relevancy of course work in professional education.
Other field experiences in addition to student teaching are participated in as part
of certain courses in professional education. These include field trips, observations, and

micro-teaching.

Student Teaching
Pre-professional teacher education culminates in student teaching for a semester
in public or private schools.

Undergraduates who have

should be prepared to accept assignments in any of the student teaching centers.
The student teaching semester is divided into two equal periods in order to
provide an opportunity for students to teach at two grade levels and frequently in two
socio-economic environments.

Because of constantly changing educational and socio- economic circumstances,

flexibility of

Student Teaching Centers
The College selects its student teaching centers and cooperating teachers in
urban, suburban, and rural areas. Students in elementary education may be assigned to
central Pennsylvania, to suburban Philadelphia, or to certain inner-city locations.
in secondary education may be assigned to teach in central Pennsylvania, in
suburban Philadelphia, or in the cities of Philadelphia and Harrisburg. Business
Education student teaching centers are located in the Bloomsburg, Allentown, and
Williamsport areas. Students in communication disorders and special education are
assigned to the White Haven Center, Selinsgrove Center, and to public schools and other
agencies located in Pennsylvania and nearby states.
It may be possible for students in teacher education programs to be assigned to
do their student teaching in one of the centers abroad with which Bloomsburg
cooperates: Quito, Ecuador; Recife, Brazil; or Liverpool, England. Further information
about this program may be obtained in the Office of International Education.

graduates will become eligible to take the certification examination for medical
technologists. Upon successfully completing this examination, the student will be
awarded his/her certificate and be entitled to use the designation M.T. (ASCP) after
his/her name.
A student who fails to gain admission to a clinical program at the end of the junior
year may return to the College and complete the requirements for a baccalaureate
degree. Ordinarily the student can complete the bachelor of arts curriculum in biology
in one additional year; other curricula may require more time. A student may also opt
to take a leave of absence (See Section 4.12) to preserve his/her right to return later.
Students who are on leave, as well as those who continue their studies are eligible to

Radiologic technologists are allied health professionals having expertise in the
operation of x-ray equipment and the preparation of patients for various diagnostic
procedures. Recent trends indicate that many clinically educated technologists will

pursue managerial or teaching roles within their disciplines.
In order to meet the varying needs of radiologic technologists, the program offers
the prospective student a means of entering Bloomsburg State College at an advanced
entry level for those already possessing certification as radiologic technologists (RT) or
Radiographers. Students are required to select a group of courses comprising either a
management core or an education core.
Students entering at this advanced level are awarded 60 credits for satisfactory
completion of an
approved program and the passing of the A.R.R.T. examination.

Health Services Associate Curriculum
This degree program is available to health workers who have obtained clinical
education from an accredited health agency and who desire additional education in
communicative and leadership skills. Its initiation was encouraged by the fact that many
certified health workers are now being strongly encouraged to continue their education
in a collegiate setting. Also, the role of the health worker has expanded to include greater
responsibility in the hospital and nursing home setting, as well as a more substantial
commitment to community health. Health workers who may wish to enter the program
include: medical laboratory technicians, licensed practical nurses, histologic technicians
and laboratory assistants, i.e., those workers who have satisfactorily completed the
equivalent of one year's clinical education.
The curriculum for the health service associate is shown below. It is assumed that
most students will be taking courses on a part-time basis and hence, require a longer
period of time to complete the program than two years.
Students are eligible to become candidates for the associate degree when they
have satisfactorily completed 22 credits of course work (maintained a 2.0 G.P.A. or
better) and shown proof of satisfactory completion of a clinical program. Awarding of
this associate degree is contingent upon being accepted for candidacy and completion of
the program while maintaining academic good standing. Transfer credits from other
accredited institutions are, of course, accepted, but at least 1 5 credits must be from

Program Description

The Department of Special Education offers a certification program for teachers
of the Mentally Retarded and/or Physically Handicapped individuals, with areas of
concentration for students in Behavior Disorders, Learning Disabilities, Mental
Retardation, Hearing Impaired and the courses and experiences which support these
curricula.

The Department of Special Education, located in Navy Hall, is equipped with
therapy rooms, television equipment and equipment and materials used in the training
of exceptional individuals.

Students enrolled in Special Education have the opportunity of participating in
practicum in supervised and graded special classes. Students participate in full-time
student teaching at Selinsgrove Center, and public schools in Columbia, Lackawanna,
Luzerne, Lycoming, Montour, Northampton, Northumberland, Lehigh, Bucks,
Snyder, Sullivan and Centre Counties. A special class located in Navy Hall and
conducted by the Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit provides opportunity for
observation and participation.

Continued enrollment in the Special Education curriculum after the sophomore
year is limited to the number of students who have met successfully the existing criteria
for admission to departmental candidacy.
Sophomores who have been tentatively enrolled in the curriculum may apply for
continued enrollment as part of their application for admission to teacher education. If
admitted to teacher education, selection for Special Education is made by the faculty of
the Special Education department in light of the applicant's academic performance and
professional promise.
Applicants who are not selected for Special Education should consult the
coordinator of academic advisement concerning transfer to another curriculum. They
are, however, eligible to reapply for Special Education during the next selection period.
