History
An academy

"to teach youth the elements of a classical education" was estabBloomsburg in 1839. The academy continued with varied fortunes until 1856,
when a charter was prepared and stock issued to reorganize as Bloomsburg Literary
Institute. A building now known as Carver Hall in memory of Henry Carver, 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
lished in

secondary schools.

1969. During World War II, the US Navy V-12 Officer Training Program was conducted

on the Bloomsburg Campus, a service commemorated by the name of Navy Hall. In
1957, a Division of Special Education was inaugurated, and it is still housed in that
building.

Major expansion

in buildings, faculty,

and student body took place

after that.

Full-time enrollments rose from 1,743 in 1960 to 4,879 in the Fall, 1982. In 1960 the

name of

the school

was changed

to

Bloomsburg State College. Authorization was

re-

ceived shortly thereafter to grant the Bachelor of Arts degree for liberal arts programs in
humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences/mathematics, and graduate study leading

Master of Education degree was inaugurated. In 1968, approval was received for
Master of Arts; in 1970 for the degree, Master of Science; in 1976 for the
Master of Business Administration; and in 1982 for the Master of Science in Nursing. A
cooperative doctoral program in elementary education was also begun in 1982.
Bloomsburg is a strong, multi-purpose institution offering curricula in the liberal
arts, business, nursing, allied health sciences, and teacher education. Degree programs
are offered at the associate, baccalaureate, and masters levels in addition to the cooperative doctoral program. Legislation was enacted in 1982 designating the institution as

BUILDINGS And Facilitdzs

Campus
Bloomsburg's campus 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, university store, administra-

academic buildings and recreation areas. The Upper
contains the E.H. Nelson Field House, the
Redman Stadium, the Litwhiler Baseball Field and practice areas. Long-range plans presume further development of the Upper Campus for academic and recreation purposes.

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, communication studies, 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, an author, and a recipient of the
Alumni Distinguished Service Award; their daughter, Mrs. Alex Nason, a graduate and
benefactor of the school; and their daughter-in-law, Mrs. Katherine L. Bakeless, graduate
of the school and a nationally-known author.

area; it accommodates the departments of chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics and
computer science, and geography and earth sciences.
The name of the building honors Daniel S. Hartline, a former teacher of biology,
and his son Dr. H. Keffer Hartline, 1968 Nobel laureate and recipient of an Alumni
Distinguished Service Award.
Sutliff Hall, completed in 1960, contains classrooms and faculty offices of the
College of Business. William Boyd Sutliff, for whom the building is named, was a teacher
of mathematics and the first Dean of Instruction of Bloomsburg State Normal School.
Construction has been started on a three-story James H. McCormick Center for
Human Services that will provide laboratory, classroom, and office accommodations for
the several departments, including nursing. It will also house the Learning Resources
Center and serve the rapidly expanding computer sciences and educational technology
programs. The building is named for the university president, who is on leave for 1983-84
while serving as interim chancellor of the State System of Higher Education.
Funding for the new building and for the renovation of Sutliff Hall and Hartline
Science Center was included in Capital Budget legislation enacted in 1980. The new

Each academic department

is

equipped with basic audiovisual equipment to meet

departmental needs. Students working on classroom projects are encouraged to discuss

equipment needs with their faculty member. If equipment is not available in the department, faculty members can arrange to borrow equipment from the Learning Resources
Center. Some of the 2,500 pieces of equipment of inventory include motion picture projectors, slide projectors, record players, tape recorders, and portable TV equipment. The
Learning Resources Center houses over 3,000 16mm educational films, in addition to
over 3,000 filmstrips and other educational materials in various audio and video formats.
Faculty, students, and student teachers are averaging over 6,000 film/filmstrip showings
per year as part of their effort to enhance the learning process.
Facilities in the Learning Resources Center permit previewing of films and other
educational media. Also, an "Autotutorial Laboratory'' has been established in Bakeless
Center for Humanities in Room 205 to accommodate viewing of filmstrips, slides and
audiotapes assigned by faculty members. Students wishing to view or listen to their own
materials may also use the facility. Videotapes may be viewed in the "Curriculum Materials Center" located in Navy Hall Room 105.
Office hours for the Learning Resources Center are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays. The hours for the "Autotutorial Laboratory" are basically the same except during
vacation periods. The Learning Resources Center is staffed with a 3 full-time employees
and 13 student employees.
Students may view materials not being used in their classes. Student organizations may request support services if meetings are held in campus classrooms. Details
should be worked out through organizational advisors.

COMPUTER SERVICES CENTER
Bloomsburg University has made extensive use of computers for more than a
decade. Current computing needs for instruction, management and research are met by a

UNIVAC 1100-61, a powerful and versatile central processing unit,
and microcomputers scattered throughout the campus. The central system, with four million bytes (4 megabytes) or characters of main memory, is directly accessible by both
centrally located and remote terminals. Controlled by the OS- 1 100 operating system, the
central operation supports all normal tape, disc, remote, batch and interactive functions.
The Distributed Communicative Processor, a minicomputer attached to the main system,
currently supports in excess of 100 student, faculty, and administrative terminals.

community comprises seven modern residence

for approximately 2,500 undergraduate students.

The residence

halls are described in section 1.6, Buildings and Facilities.
Although students' housing preferences are considered whenever possible, the
University reserves the right to assign rooms and roommates within the residence hall

system.

Housing and food services are provided only on a combined basis for students
Housing and food contracts are binding until the end of the
academic year and may not be transferred or reassigned.
Freshmen under 21 years of age are required to reside on campus or commute
from the homes of their parents. If extenuating circumstances justify other housing arrangements, a written request for waiver of this residency requirement must be submitted
living in the residence halls.

Residence Life.
Although transfer students may indicate a preference for residence hall accommodations, on-campus housing is not guaranteed. Transfers who wish to live in the campus
residence halls should contact the Housing office upon acceptance to the university.
Upperclass resident students may continue to live on campus as long as they
satisfy the residence hall eligibility requirements. Any resident student who has earned 65
semester hours or less at the completion of any Fall semester is eligible to participate in
the room selection lottery for the following academic year. This policy allows most resident students to live on campus up to, but not including, their senior year, at which time
they must seek off-campus accommodations for their final year of study. Students not
eligible to go through the lottery (over 65 credits or residing off campus) may request their
names be placed on the 1983-84 waiting list. This eligibility requirement is subject to
revision in response to changes in student demand for on-campus accommodations.
Details about residence hall rules and regulations are printed in the Pilot, Residence Hall Manuals, the Residence Hall Contract, and other housing literature.

housing in town. Essentially a referral agency, the Housing Office collects data on offcampus 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 University campus housing 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.

Student Life and Services/41

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 Residence
Life Office will gladly advise students on methods of solving such problems. If deemed
appropriate, Housing 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
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 Residence Life Personnel 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. Offcampus 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

Athletic Insurance
All students participating in intercollegiate sports have insurance coverage up to
$92,000 paid for by the Community Government Association. Athletic insurance covers
injuries arising while practicing, playing, or traveling as a member of an athletic team but
does not cover injuries sustained in intramural sports or other injuries or illnesses.
The benefit period for treatment per injury is 52 weeks, with a maximum benefit
of $2,500. For claims which exceed $2,500 within two years, a Catastrophe Plan becomes effective with coverage up to $90,000 extending the benefit period to a maximum
of three years. Also, the $90,000 catastrophe coverage is on an Excess basis. This means
any claim that exceeds the basic $2,500 must be submitted to the athlete's personal insurance company prior to any payment or consideration by the university's company.

The curriculum provides the flexibility to meet individual differences. It is "child centered," providing numerous opportunities for the children to learn when they show interest and readiness. It is "teacher directed" through guidance. The children are given the
opportunity to learn and discover through first-hand experience: sensory, exploratory,

planning, including development of good study skills and the prepara-

promote good human and interpersonal relations among

people of varied racial and social backgrounds; and to satisfy certain pre-enrollment

re-

quirements 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 every-

thing they must know. Students, therefore, have the responsibility to read appropriate

segments of the Undergraduate Catalogue and Pilot, to become familiar with programs
and policies pertinent to them and to ask questions when a problem or concern arises. See
Section 2. 7 for Orientation Fees.

Readmission Of Former Students

Students, who, having been formally admitted to degree study and attended
Bloomsburg University, fail to enroll or withdraw for any academic semester, 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 calendar
year. They should present evidence of successful achievement at another college or university as part of any application for readmission.
The grade and credit entries recorded prior to readmission of students under academic dismissal do not enter into subsequent computations of the quality point average,
is included in their cumulative credit. Students may invoke this
provision only once. Courses failed prior to dismissal and repeated after readmission are

but the previous credit

Leave Of Absence
A

student may request a leave of absence for a specified period by completing the
appropriate forms at the Office of Admissions. To be eligible for a leave, a student must
be in Academic Good Standing or making minimal progress toward good standing and

must request the leave prior to the registration date of the intended period of absence.
A student on a leave of absence is assured a place in the semester designated for
return provided the instructions that are part of the leave of absence agreement are fulfilled and advance deposits are submitted at the time designated by the Dean of Admissions.

Student Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the student to know and observe the academic policies
and regulations of the university; 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 university in graduation or curriculum requirements;
degree students who attend without interruption may choose to satisfy either the requirements as they existed at the time of their entrance or the new requirements; if they elect to
satisfy the new requirements they are responsible for them in toto. All students who are
readmitted to the university and part-time students must apply to the Vice President for
Academic Affairs for permission to be graduated under the requirements existing at the
time of their original admission to Bloomsburg.

Academic Advisement
Entering students

application for admission indicated their preferred

who specialize in advisement in these areas.
Assignments to advisors 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. These applicants will be
considered as General Studies students.
Students with questions or problems should seek assistance in the Office of Academic Advisement, Benjamin Franklin Building.
Students seeking tutorial services or other developmental studies support should
contact the Tutorial Coordinator in the Center for Academic Development. This individual works closely with departmental advisors, the Center's Writing Coordinator, Reading
Coordinator, and Math Coordinator, psychological counselor and the Recruitment and
Orientation Specialist. A variety of academic support services can be tailored to meet the
need of the individual student.

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
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

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 adaptations of the above procedures may be used to validate transfer
courses taken in non-accredited colleges. No fee is charged for examination to validate
such credit. Examinations may be based upon the syllabi of the courses taken in the
previous institution or, in case the student wishes to establish equivalency with courses in
this university, upon the syllabi of courses offered in this institution.

Auditing of Courses

A full-time student who is enrolled for less than seventeen hours of course work
may, with consent of the appropriate dean and, subject to attendance fees as stated in
Section 2.2, register for one course as an auditor. If the registrant attends at least threefourths of the regular class meetings the grade of V will be reported by the instructor and
the course will be entered on the academic record without credit. No assignments are
made to an auditor and no papers or examinations are accepted by the instructor for
grading or record either during the period of enrollment or subsequent thereto.

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

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 university. However, this may occur only if the dean of the college
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 13 semester
hours for the period specified.

A student applying to transfer courses must fulfill the provisions of Section 5.11
Residence Requirement and Section 5.13 Graduation Requirements.
When substitution of transfer credit for a required course is in question because
the course was taken in an unaccredited institution or because the description or standards
of the course are unclear, a student is entitled to an opportunity to validate the course by
examination. When they are available, standardized examinations are used. (See Section
5.01 for information on credit by examination).

Correspondence courses are subject to acceptance to a total that does not exceed
from an accredited college or university and acceptable by
that institution toward graduation in a baccalaureate degree curriculum.
Courses taken in another institution on a pass-fail basis are acceptable if they
conform to the conditions for such grades at Bloomsburg.
Credits from other accredited institutions earned by a Bloomsburg degree student
will transfer, provided approval is obtained first from the advisor and the dean. A form is
available from the Registrar for this purpose. Upon completion of the courses, it is the
responsibility of the student to provide the Registrar with an official transcript. The evaluation of the courses will be made by the department chairperson with the approval of the
dean before the Registrar records the courses and credits on the student's academic record.
Evaluation of credit earned at other institutions by incoming transfer students and
by readmitted students who earned credit subsequent to their prior enrollment at Bloomsburg is made in the Admissions Office with guidelines provided by the department chairperson, cooperatively established by the school dean. 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

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 university. 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
transfer to

on

this

who

Bloomsburg University with junior standing have a one semester grace period

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 university 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

education requirements. (See Section 6.4.) Double majors in

more than

all

of the general

some departments may

re-

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
quire

the

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.

6.3

NON-CREDIT DEVELOPMENTAL COURSES

Through services provided by the Center for Academic Development, a student,
program or prior academic performance may enroll
in developmental courses. These courses serve to supplement the student's academic experience and are not counted toward credit requirements for graduation. Developmental

Upward Bound Program. The program, open to students meeting certain academic and financial eligibility requirements, is
designed to assist these individuals by making them more self-confident, well informed,
and better prepared for life beyond high school. The program consists of two segments. In
the first segment, enrolled students spend several hours a week in their local high schools
participating in academic experiences designed to supplement their regular scholastic program and to improve performance in the areas of English, reading, science, and mathematics. The program:s counseling service provides close individual contact for discussing
career, vocational and personal interests within the high school setting. The other component of Upward Bound is a six-week summer live-in experience on the Bloomsburg campus. This experience provides concentrated academic work, plus planned recreational,
social and cultural experiences both on and off campus. Ms. Ruth Anne Bond is the
Director of the Program.

COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES

General Administration

7.1

The College of Arts and Sciences

is

composed of seventeen academic depart-

of which, except Health, Physical Education and Athletics, offer programs
leading to either the Bachelor of Science or the Bachelor of Arts degree or both.
Bloomsburg was first authorized to offer the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1960 and

ments

all

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 College of Arts and Sciences has also made Bloomsburg 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 con-

ferred for programs offered in the College 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 mathemat-

ics.

The aim of a program which

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

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 undergraduate education in chemistry. This recognition is of
significance to those students considering professional

employment

in the

Chemical

in-

dustry and/or those seeking admission to postgraduate education programs in the sci-

ences 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 School of Business, 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 chemical Engineering through a cooperative
program with the Pennsylvania State University. Three years at Bloomsburg and two

years at Penn State are required for this program.

ENGINEERING AND LIBERAL ARTSCOOPERATIVE PROGRAM
David Superdock-Program Coordinator)
The faculties of Bloomsburg University and the Colleges of Engineering and
Earth and Mineral Science of The Pennsylvania State University have agreed to establish
a cooperative educational program in liberal arts and engineering. Three years will be
spent by an enrolling student at Bloomsburg, where the student will study liberal arts
subjects along with pre-engineering courses in the basic sciences. Upon satisfactory completion of, and recommendation from that program, the student will spend two years
commencing with the Fall Term at The Pennsylvania State University. While at Penn

successful completion of these programs will lead to an appropriate baccalaure-

from each

This program was created to

fulfill

the following objec-

tives:
1.

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.
2. To allow a student who has not yet made a decision between engineering and
other 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 arts courses which, if
completed successfully, would guarantee the student acceptance at an engineering school at times when student applications to such schools might exceed their

A student will indicate the desire to follow the 3-2 program either at the time of
admission to Bloomsburg, 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.

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

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

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 each semester.

Aims

(Under Review)
The teacher education program

at

Bloomsburg University

is

committed

to

im-

proving 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;

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 for-

mal programs of advanced study related

to their particular field

of

interest;

186/College of Professional Studies

the opportunity for further enrichment within the individual's area of professional

competence 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 university; and
the means for the advancement of knowledge through research in specific areas of
education.

Generic Role Competencies
For successful teaching to occur, the teacher, as a professional decision maker,
must perform effectively in a number of different roles. The teacher must also command
functional knowledge in appropriate content area(s) as well in cognate disciplines with
direct or related significance for the act of teaching.

Program Description
The

objective of this curriculum

is

to prepare personnel to

work

in public schools,

and rehabilitation centers with individuals who are handicapped in
speech, hearing, and language.
Upon successful completion of the curriculum and recommendation by the Univerisity, certification in speech correction is granted by the Pennsylvania Department of
Education. The curriculum provides academic and clinical work which constitute part of
the prerequisite for the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech Pathology or Audiology issued by the American Speech, Hearing, and Language Association; additional prerequisites include a master's degree and certain prescribed experience.
Students in the Curriculum in Communication Disorders are required to complete
the master's degree before they are eligible for recommendation by the University for
certification. (The requirements for the master's degree appear in the Graduate Catahospitals, clinics

graduate students in Communication Disorders who have undergraduate deficiencies and
students who are reapplying for admission compete on equal terms with regular students
at each selection period.
Selection within the quota for each selection period is determined by ranking the
product of the quality Point Average in the courses that have been taken in Communication Disorders; and the Cumulative Quality Point Average. Other professional factors
determine the selection in case there is a tie in the measure - in this case the decisions are
made by the faculty of the Department.
The precise quota for each selection period is predetermined by the Department
in the light of the projected capacity of clinical facilities, subject to a maximum of forty
(40) students to be admitted each year. Students who are not admitted may reapply at a
subsequent selection period.
An area of concentration in Education of the Hearing Impaired exists for students
in Elementary Education. These courses may also be taken by students in Secondary
Education, Special Education, and Early Childhood Education. Students who elect this

Upward Bound Program. The program, open to students meeting certain academic and financial eligibility requirements, is
designed to asist these individuals by making them more self-confident, well informed,
and better prepared for life beyond high school. The program consists of two segments. In
the first segment, enrolled students spend two hours a week in their local high schools
participating in academic experiences designed to supplement their regular scholastic program and to improve performance in the areas of English, reading, science, and mathematics. The Program's counseling service provides close individual contact for discussing
career, vocational and personal interests within the high school setting. The other component of Upward Bound is a six-week summer live-in experience on the university campus.
This experience provides concentrated academic work, plus planned recreational, social
and cultural experiences both on and off campus. Ms. Ruth Anne Bond is the director of
the program.

Non-Degree Credit Program
Based on the assumption that learning should be a life-long process, a non-degree
credit program provides for enrollment by an individual in regular undergraduate credit
courses without formal admission to the University as a degree candidate. Individuals are
invited to use this program as an opportunity to review skills, acquire new skills, or
pursue cultural and intellectual interests. Credit courses may be chosen from both day and
evening offerings. Courses are also offered at off-campus locations.
Credit earned in appropriate courses taken as a non-degree student may be ap-

program if the individual seeks and is granted formal
admission to a degree program in the university. Courses taken by non-degree students
can also be used for designated certification programs and to meet undergraduate deficiencies for graduate study. (The School of Graduate Studies has its own non-degree regulations. See Graduate Bulletin.)
