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 the Bloomsburg Literary
Institute. A building now known as Carver Hall in memory of Henry Carver, principal
at the time, was erected in 1867. It is considered, today, the university's landmark.
Largely through the efforts of J. P. Wickersham, Superintendent of Public
Instruction, Bloomsburg Literary Institute became Bloomsburg Literary Institute and
State Normal School in 1 869; it continued under this name and organization until 1916
when it was purchased by the Commonwealth and called the Bloomsburg State Normal
lished in

School.

The emphasis at the Normal School changed during the early 1920s 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, including premiering of a new
degree program in Business Education.
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
Business Education Department, was appointed president, a position he held until his
retirement in 1969. During World War II, the U.S. 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 instituted, and today,
Navy Hall still houses the program.

30/ Buildings

Major expansion in facilities, faculty and student body followed. Full-time
enrollment rose from 1,743 in 1960 to 5,058 in 1983.
In 1960 the school's name 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/mathematics graduate
study leading to the Master of Education degree was also inaugurated. In 1968,
approval was received for the Master of Arts degree; in 1970 for the Master of Science
degree 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 also
started in 1982.

Bloomsburg

is

a strong, multi-purpose institution offering curricula in the

and teacher education. Degree
and master's levels in addition to
the cooperative doctoral program. The institution's name was changed to Bloomsburg
University when Commonwealth legislation created the State System of Higher
Education, becoming effective July 1, 1983. Bloomsburg's then president, Dr. James
H. McCormick, became the system's interim chancellor and later the first permanent
chancellor. Dr. Larry W. Jones, Bloomsburg's provost and vice president for academic
affairs, is serving as the university's interim president until July 1985 when Harry

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 central computer, the Sperry 1 100-71, a powerful and versatile central processing
unit, and microcomputers scattered throughout the campus. The central system, with
12 million bytes (12 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
active functions.

The

all

normal tape,

disc,

remote, batch and inter-

Distributed Communicative Processor, a minicomputer attached

main system, currently supports in excess of 150 student, faculty, and adminisand microcomputers.
The following programming languages are available by mainframe access:
ASSEMBLER, BASIC, COBOL, FORTRAN, PASCAL, PL/1, and SNOBOL. In
addition, numerous special purpose languages and package programs are available;
these include ASET, an author's language for computer assisted instruction (CAI),
and statistical and math programs such as SCSS, SPSS, BMD, and MATH PAK.
Complementing the Sperry System is a microcomputer lab located adjacent to
to the

trative terminals

The lab presently includes microcomputers with disk drives
and color monitors, some of which can communicate with the central computer. The
printers have graphic capabilities. Several units have 64K RAM, allowing PASCAL
and LOGO operations. Additional microcomputers are located in various departments
on campus. A separate computing system is maintained in Room 1 148 in the McCormick Center for Human Services exclusively for faculty and student usage. This mini
computer maintained under a UNIX operating system, operates as a stand-alone
system with line printers, disc units and tape drives supporting a complement of terminals and microcomputers.
During the fall and spring semesters, access hours normally are 7:00 a.m. to 2:00
a.m., Monday and Friday; Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; Sunday, 12:00 (noon) to
the student terminal room.

1:00 a.m. Additional hours are scheduled as needed.

Within many academic programs including the Computer and Information
Science 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 (CAI)
material such as tutorials, drills and simulations to supplement classroom and lab
instruction.

A 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; they must seek off-campus accommodations for their
final year of study. Students not eligible to go through the lottery (more than 65 credits
or residing off campus) may request their names be placed on a waiting list for oncampus housing. Eligibility requirements are subject to revision in response to changes

THE UNIVERSITY DOES NOT APPROVE OR RECOMMEND RESIDENCES.
Student off-campus residences are subject to periodic inspection by officials of the
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 Residence Life Office offers many programs and services for persons seeking
housing in town. Essentially a referral agency, the 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 in the Town of Bloomsburg is accepted for publication in the
university housing directory, the owner must submit his/her premises to an inspection
by the town Code Enforcement Office and sign a statement pledging to provide equal
opportunity in the rental of the property.

Health Service Fee
All full-time undergraduate and graduate students will be assessed $17 per
semester for a Health Service Fee. Part-time undergraduate students scheduling 6-1

Student teachers and/or students on internships not residing in the Bloomsburg
area will not be charged. They may request an exemption by sending a written request
to the Business Office. Those students enrolled in summer sessions are assessed $1 for
each three week summer session.

The monies collected from this fee will pay for the Health Service that has been

committed

to the belief that a strong beginning

is

from his or her college
education. Consistent with that belief, the university provides a comprehensive orientation program for all newly admitted students. These programs are administered
through the Center for Counseling and Human Development.
Freshmen entering in the fall semester are required to participate in one of four
summer orientation sessions. Parents and families are urged to attend on Sunday when
several activities are scheduled for them. In addition to the freshmen sessions, there is
a special orientation session for fall transfer students and sessions each semester for
non-traditional students. For students whose initial enrollment is in summer school or
in January, orientation is held on a Sunday prior to their first day of classes. Informa-

and the university is sent to all new students when they have
been accepted by the university and have paid their admission fees. Fall freshmen
receive this information in early May prior to their fall enrollment.
At the university, enrollment involves much more than an educational endeavor.
There are career, personal and social concerns which students need to address, all of
which are important to achieving success. Orientation helps to meet such concerns in a
variety of ways. Orientation provides for the initial contacts with faculty in the crucial
academic advisement process, familiarizes students with the university, its people,
programs, services and facilities and with one another; promotes good human relations
among people from varied racial, economic and social backgrounds and provides for
completion of certain pre-enrollment matters involving scheduling, identification
cards, meal tickets and program evaluation.
Orientation helps students make a good beginning, but it cannot provide all that
they need to know. Therefore, students have the responsibility of familiarizing
themselves with appropriate segments of the Undergraduate Catalogue and Pilot, and
with programs and policies pertinent to them. Assistance is available when problems or
questions arise. See Section 2.7 for orientation fees. For additional information, call the
Orientation Office at 389-4255 or stop in Room 15 of the Ben Franklin Building.

Personal interviews are available Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Several Saturday 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 departmental meetings. Participation in one of these visitation days may
be more meaningful than a personal interview because applicants have the opportunity

Students, formally admitted to degree study and attended Bloomsburg University and failing to enroll for any academic semester without being on a temporary
withdrawal, regardless of the reason, must apply for readmission if they wish to reenter the university.

Readmitted students are responsible for the graduation requirements and
academic policies which exist at the time of re-entrance.
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

Advanced Placement And CLEP.

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 university
recognizes two external examination programs: the College Level Examination
Program (CLEP) and the Advanced Placement Program of the College 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.

to attendance fees as stated in

Section 2.2, register for one course as an auditor. If the registrant attends at least
three-fourths 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. 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.

both the student and the instructor. When the work has been completed a permanent
grade is submitted by the instructor to replace the grade of I.
Unless specifically stated in a written plan filed in the Registrar's Office, it is
assumed that the work will be completed prior to the end of the next semester. If the
plan is not fulfilled within the time specified, the instructor has the option of replacing
the grade of I with an appropriate grade during the semester which follows the termination date of the plan. Otherwise, the grade of I remains a part of the student's record
(it is not subject to change at a later time). In the case of graduate students, the grade
of I is replaced by the symbol N; this symbol remains permanently on the student's
record.

5.08 Evaluation

Of Transfer Credits

College level courses completed
university in which grades of

C

in

an accredited two-year or four-year college or

or higher were earned are usually transferred for a

degree student. Courses in which the grades of D were earned transfer only if the
overall quality point average at the college where completed is 2.0 or better on a 4.0
system. In either case, these courses transfer; grades, quality points and quality point
averages do not transfer. Transfer credit will be deleted if the student subsequently
registers for courses which substantially duplicate the content of courses accepted in
transfer.

A student applying to transfer courses must fulfill the provisions of Section 5.1
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
fifteen semester hours if taken 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 adviser 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 college 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 transcript.

5.09 Cheating

And Plagiarism

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 repri-

mand

to a

penalty, the instructor

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.

Graduate Courses In Senior Year

Seniors needing fewer than eighteen semester hours of course work to satisfy
their requirements for the baccalaureate degree may, with approval of the department
chairperson, apply to the dean of graduate studies for permission to supplement their

undergraduate courses with graduate courses. Graduate credit for graduate courses
will be awarded upon verification of completion of the undergraduate degree.

5.13

Graduation Requirements
Graduation requires the successful completion of

at least 128 semester hours to

include completion of the curriculum of an approved major program, completion of

general education requirements and an average of 2.0 in

all courses required by the
major program.
The last 64 semester hours of credit toward graduation must be in courses taken
in an accredited four-year degree-granting institution. At least 32 of the last 64 semester hours credited toward a baccalaureate degree must be taken as Bloomsburg
University courses. Exceptions to this policy will be made only by the college dean with
the recommendation of the appropriate department chairperson. All financial obligations to the university must have been cleared.

5.14

Second Baccalaureate Degree
An

who applies for a second baccalaureate degree must have
degree at Bloomsburg University or another accredited college or
university. The student must also add at least 30 semester hours of undergraduate
courses in residence during regular academic years and/or summer sessions at Bloomsburg University.
All requirements for the curriculum in which the second degree is earned must
have been satisfied and free elective credit must have been taken if necessary to
complete the additional 30 semester hours. If a particular course is required in both
degree programs, it cannot be credited as part of the 30 semester hour requirement for
completion of the second degree.

UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULA:
Introduction

6.1

Choice Of Curriculum

The undergraduate curricula are administered by three colleges; the College of
Arts and Sciences, the College of Professional Studies, and the College of Business;
and the School of Extended Programs. The requirements for the curricula are stated in
the chapters which deal with these colleges.
Upon admission, students are admitted to eight (8) broad academic categories.
(See section 4.02). A student must have committed himself/herself and received
admission to a specific major by the end of the sophomore year. (Students who transfer
to Bloomsburg University 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 College 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 adviser 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 college 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 50 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

Developmental Courses

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.

COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES

General Administration

The College of Arts and Sciences is composed of 17 academic departments, all 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
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

made Bloomsburg more
many of whom have been appointed in

of the College of Arts and Sciences has also

attractive to highly qualified, promising faculty,

the last decade.

Degrees
The degrees, bachelor of arts (B.A.) and bachelor of science (B.S.) are conferred
programs studied 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 mathefor

matics.

The aim of a program which leads to the bachelor of science degree 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.

Arts and Sciences major for the B.A. degree:

Admission to the mass communication program, by application to the chairman,
be limited to a specified maximum enrollment which can be reasonably accommodated by departmental resources. A total of 25 students will be the maximum number
of students per semester able to declare the major. A student shall be able to declare
mass communication as his or her major only after he or she has completed at least 32
earned hours with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher. However, acceptance will be dependent on QPA as students with highest QPAs will fill available
openings. Students will be notified of their acceptance as majors prior to pre-registration in the third semester of their academic schedule. If more students seek entrance
into the major than is permitted by the upper limit on the total number of majors, and
if they can be accommodated, they will be admitted on the ranking of the general
cumulative quality point average.
Exceptions, such as internal transfer students, shall be dealt with by the chairman with the mass communication faculty on student merit according to the needs of
(1) the program and (2) the students. External transfer students, with a minimum of
32 earned hours, will be admitted directly into the program.
Only students with junior (64 credits) or senior standing are permitted to enroll
in 300 and 400 level courses in the area of concentration and internships. (All juniors
first entering the program must complete four core courses by the end of the junior
year and sign a statement of understanding that they may need additional time beyond

ENGINEERING AND LIBERAL ARTSCOOPERATIVE PROGRAM
(Dr.

The

faculties of

David Superdock-Program Coordinator)
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 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.

To provide cooperatively a general education

a liberal arts instituof 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 disciplines, an opportunity to examine his/her appropriate aptitudes and explore the various areas of study.
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 capacity.
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

The candidate

will

Bloomsburg Universi-

admission requirements.

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 University 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 University 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.
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 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.

120/Engineering and Liberal Arts

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
University 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 University 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'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
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 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 University and has fulfilled all conditions, if any, specified in the student's provisional admission.

engineering curricula with seventh term standing:

HISTORY SATELLITE PROGRAM
The history

satellite

course program

is

an innovative approach

to

provide

greater flexibility in the history curriculum and to offer students variable choices 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

Admission to Teacher Education
Students who wish to pursue teacher education curricula enroll initially in the
College 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 completed a
field

experience intended to help applicants to assess their decision. Scholarship and

pertinent personal attributes are weighed in determining admission to teacher education.

These

criteria reflect the responsibility of the university

whose recommendation

is

the basis for issuing a teacher's certificate. If students initially enrolled in the College

204/Teacher Education

of Professional Studies are not admitted to teacher education, they

may

apply for

transfer to other university programs.

Retention in Teacher Education
Admission to teacher education is equivalent to candidacy for the degree, BacheScience 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
university, he/she may transfer to other university programs. The student who wishes
to be reinstated in teacher education must reapply for admission.
lor of

Field Experience
Students in teacher education are required to engage in the field experiences
during which they work in and observe the educational process in the schools. It is
intended that these experiences will help the students decide whether they wish to
follow careers in teaching. Participants are exposed to many aspects of teaching and to
the operation of the schools, thus providing experience that should increase the relevancy of course work in professional education.
Field experiences, in addition to student teaching, are a part of courses in professional education. These include field trips, observations, micro-teaching and assisting
teachers in school settings.

Student Teaching
Teacher education culminates

in student

teaching for a semester in public or

private schools.

Undergraduates who have

frequently in two socio-economic environments.

Student Teaching Centers
Bloomsburg selects its student teaching centers and cooperating teachers in
urban, suburban and rural areas. Students in elementary and secondary education may
be assigned to central Pennsylvania, to suburban Philadelphia or to inner-city
locations. 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 abroad international centers with which Bloomsburg cooperates: Quito, Ecuador; Recife, Brazil; or Liverpool, England and other
locations by arrangement. Further information about this program may be obtained in

Students must take a minimum of nine semester hours in courses in communication disorders before they may apply for admission. The normal time for application by regular students is in the middle of the sophomore year. Transfer students,
readmitted students, 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 admission period.
Selection within the quota for each admission period is determined by 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 admission period is predetermined by the department
in the light of the projected capacity of clinical facilities. Students who are not admitted may reapply at a subsequent admission 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, special or early childhood education. Students who elect this sequence may
seek advisement from the faculty of communication disorders. Students who complete
the courses of the area of concentration in addition to their teacher education major are

Program Description

ly

The program in special education offers certification for teachers of the mentalretarded and/or physically handicapped individuals, with an area of concentration

for students in hearing

impaired and the courses and experiences which support these

curricula.

Special education faculty are located in Navy Hall, which is equipped with
therapy rooms, television equipment and other equipment and materials used in the
training of exceptional individuals.

Students enrolled

in special

education have the opportunity of participating in

practica in supervised and graded special classes. Students participate in full-time

student teaching at the Selinsgrove Center, and public schools in Columbia, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Lycoming, Montour, Northampton, Northumberland, 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 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.
Selection for special education is made by the faculty of the special education department in light of the applicant's academic performance.
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.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS

ROTC

Bloomsburg University participates with Wilkes College in an on-campus
program which allows students to qualify for commissions in the United States Air
Force upon graduation.
The Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps (AFROTC) provides a fouryear program divided into the general military course (GMC) in the first two years and
the professional officer course (POC) in the last two years. A student may elect to
enroll in either the total four-year program or just the two-year POC program.
For acceptance into the POC, four-year program students must pass a physical
examination, an officer qualification test, have attained an acceptable academic
rating, and successfully complete a four-week field training course prior to their junior
year.

To qualify for direct entrance in the two-year POC program, students must have
two academic years remaining at either the graduate or undergraduate level or a
combination of the two. They must meet the physical standards, pass an officer qualification test, have an acceptable academic rating and successfully complete a six-week
field training course. Transfer students may elect the two-year program if they satisfy
the above requirements. Students interested in the two-year program should start the
application process early in their sophomore year.
Members of either the four-year or two-year program are eligible to complete
for

AFROTC scholarships.

Uniforms, equipment and textbooks for the AFROTC work are supplied by

11.2

Programs

Non-Degree Credit Program
Based on the assumption that learning should be a life-long process, the nondegree 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
applied later to a regular degree 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 a variety of designated certificate programs and to meet undergraduate deficiencies for graduate study. (The School of Graduate Studies has its own
non-degree regulations. See the Graduate Bulletin.)

Noncredit Mini-Courses
Noncredit mini-courses provide opportunities for individuals to gain specialized
knowledge and/or skills for career purposes or to pursue cultural, recreational and
special interests through short-term experiences without credit.
These courses reflect expressed community needs. A nominal course fee is
charged.

Attendance Fee Program
The Attendance Fee Program allows individuals to attend classes without credit.
Admission on this basis depends upon available space and the payment of a $25 fee per
course. Courses attended through this process do not generate college credit for the
attendee.

GRADUATE STUDIES

Degrees
Graduate study was inaugurated

960 with programs leading to the Master of
1968 approval was granted to
offer a program in history to lead to the Master of Arts degree and in 1971 a program
in biology to lead to the Master of Science degree. Programs were added subsequently
leading to the Master of Business Administration degree (in 1976) and a Master of
Science degree in Nursing (in 1983).
The objective of the program for the Master of Education degree is to improve
subject matter proficiency and develop mature, professional teachers. The objective of
the Master of Arts program is to advance the student's scholarship in an academic
discipline. Programs leading to the Master of Science degree are designed to develop
mature scholarship and competence, especially as they are related to application. The
object of the Master of Business Administration degree is to provide increased knowledge and skills essential for quality performance in the business professions.
The university pledges itself to a continuous review of the needs for graduate
education in the geographic region it serves. For a more complete explanation of the
graduate programs, please refer to the Graduate Bulletin.
