GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduction
Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania

sities in

is

one of the 14 state-owned univer-

the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education charged by the

monwealth to serve

Com-

as "... a center of learning for the best possible education of the

youth of Pennsylvania

in business, the arts

and sciences and to provide able and

dedicated teachers..."
In addition to

65 undergraduate degree programs, Bloomsburg offers
master's degrees in a variety of academic disciplines, and a doctoral program in
elementary education is offered in cooperation with Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

1.2

Organization

Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania has 6,400 students and is organized in
four colleges: Arts and Sciences, Professional Studies, Business, and Graduate
Studies and Extended Programs. The scope and internal structure of each college is
described in the succeeding chapters of this catalogue.

1.3

Location

The home of Bloomsburg University is its namesake, the Town of
Bloomsburg, the county seat of Columbia County. The industrial, trading and
residential community of 11,717 is located on Route 11, 80 miles northeast of Harrisburg. It is within two miles of two interchanges of Interstate 80.
Bloomsburg is served by the Greyhound and Continental Trailways bus lines.
Commercial airports at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Interstate 81, and at Williamsport
are about an hour's drive from Bloomsburg.

1.4

History

An academy "to teach youth the elements of a classical education" was
estabhshed in Bloomsburg 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 InBloomsburg Literary Institute became Bloomsburg Literary Institute and
Normal School in 1869; it continued under this name and organization until
1916 when it was purchased by the Commonwealth and named the Bloomsburg State
Normal 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
struction,

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, and a new degree program in
Business Education was initiated.
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

Major expansion in facilities, faculty and student body followed. Full-time
enrollment rose from 1,743 in 1960 to 5,241 in 1985.
In 1960 the school's name was changed to Bloomsburg State College.
Authorization was received shortly thereafter to grant the Bachelor of Arts degree
social sciences and
for liberal arts programs in humanities,
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 began 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 master's levels in addition
to the cooperative doctoral program. Commonwealth legislation created the State
System of Higher Education on July 1, 1983, and the institution became Bloomsburg
University. 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, served as the
university's interim president until July 1985 when Harry Ausprich assumed the chief

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 1100-71, a powerful and versatile central processing unit, and microcomputers scattered throughout the campus. The central system,
with 12 miUion bytes (12 megabytes) or characters of main memory, is directly accessible by both centrally located and remote terminals. Controlled by the OS-1100
operating system, the central operation supports all normal tape, disc, remote, batch
and inter-active functions. The Distributed Communicative Processor, a minicomputer attached to the main system, currently supports in excess of 150 student, faculty, and administrative terminals and microcomputers.
The following programming languages are available by mainframe access:

ASSEMBLER, BASIC, COBOL, FORTRAN, PASCAL,
numerous

PL/1, and

SNOBOL.

In

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
PAK.
Complementing the Sperry System is a microcomputer lab located adjacent to
the student terminal room. 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 1148
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 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

STUDENT LIFE AND SERVICES

3.01 Introduction
It is

desirable for each student to

become involved

in extracurricular organiza-

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

3.02 University policy
"Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania exists for the transmission of
knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the development of students and the general wellbeing 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."
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 institution. Students are responsible
for understanding and abiding by the university'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.

Student housing

On-Campus Housing
The

university residence hall

community comprises seven modern

residence

which provide accommodations 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.
Housing and food services are provided on a combined basis only for students
living in the residence halls. 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 to the director of residence life.
halls

Transfer students who wish to live on campus should contact the Residence
upon acceptance to the university and payment of admissions fee.
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 hve on campus
up to, but not including, their senior year; they must seek off-campus accommodations for their final year of study. Students not ehgible to go through the lottery
(more than 65 credits or residing off campus) may request their names be placed on a
waiting Ust for on-campus housing. Eligibility requirements are 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.

THE UNIVERSITY DOES NOT APPROVE OR RECOMMEND RESIDENCES.
Student off-campus residences are subject to periodic inspection by officials of tlie
of Bloomsburg and dwellings with four or more tenants must also meet the
standards of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.

Town

Although students must

rely

on

their

own

initiative to find suitable

accom-

modations, the Residence Life Office offers many programs and services for persons
seeking housing in town. Essentially a referral agency, the 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 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.
Because the university does not assign students to off-campus residences,
negotiations are the sole responsibility of the students and the landlord. However,
the Residence Life Office will gladly advise students on methods of solving such problems, and, if deemed appropriate, residence life personnel will mediate student-

Community Government Association/43

landlord disputes, but only on an informal, non-legal basis.
Students planning to live off campus should have a clear understanding of
their rights and responsibilities as tenants. Copies of model leases, apartment inventory checklists, departure notices, town street maps are available to interested
students. Upon request, residence life personnel will help student renters conduct

and post-occupancy inventories of their apartments. 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
pre-

tenants.

Students residing off campus bear a dual responsibility as citizens of the town
of Bloomsburg and as members of the university community. The university cannot
provide sanctuary from the law nor can it be indifferent to its reputation in the com-

munity

serves.

Community government association

All full-time and part-time undergraduate students, who have paid the community activities fee, are members of the Community Government Association.
Graduate students, faculty and staff members, who have paid their Community Activities, fee are also members. Student Senate meetings are held every other Monday
evening in the Multi-Purpose Room of the Kehr Union. The executive council, which
consists of the officers and two senators, meets on the alternate Monday evening of
the month.

Athletic Insurance
All students participating in intercollegiate sports have insurance coverage
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

basic benefits, under our athletic insurance program, are provided

on an

EXCESS basis.

This means the expenses will be submitted to the parent's medical insurance plan prior to any payment or consideration by the university's company. Injuries requiring less than $100 of medical expenses will be covered by the university's
plan and need not be submitted to the parent's medical plan. The maximum benefit
for injury to sound natural teeth is $200 per tooth. Damage to temporary teeth
(bridge, partial, etc.) is not covered.
In addition to the basic benefit plan which covers up to $25,000 in related expenses, all student athletes are covered under a Lifetime Catastrophic Insurance
Plan. Under this plan, benefits would be payable for life with no limit on the total
dollar amount, on expenses incurred, for hospital care, surgical services, extended

from 7:45 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday (fall and spring semesters). Schoolage children (ages 6-10) are accepted for care when the public schools have a holiday
and the university is in session. There is also a summer program designed for children
ages 2-10. Parents can utilize the center on a drop-in or full-time basis throughout
the year. However,

all

children must be registered in advance

and

toilet trained.

Registration materials can be obtained at the center.

The Campus Child Center is licensed by the Pennsylvania State Department
of Public Welfare. It is governed by the Pennsylvania State Day Care Service for
Children Regulations. The Community Government Association provides funding
to help support the center.
The center provides a nursery school program designed especially for the
growth and development of the preschool child. Varied activities are planned to meet
the social, emotional, cognitive and physical needs of the child. The wholistic,
developmental approach provides the flexibihty to meet individual differences. Quiet
and active play, small and large group activities, snack, rest and sleep are included.
The curriculum is "child centered," providing numerous opportunities for the
children to learn when they show interest and readiness. It is "teacher directed"
through guidance and places an emphasis on creative learning, discovery and exploration.

The program provides opportunities

to strengthen individuality

and

cognitive processing abilities in order to prepare the children for the academic learning that will take place in elementary school.

4.02 Application

Procedures

Application materials and instructions for application may be secured by
writing the director of admissions.
To be a candidate for admission, one must complete and submit an official
application to the Office of Admissions. The applicant is responsible for requesting
the proper official of his/her secondary school to submit a transcript and personal
evaluation to the director of admissions.
The non-refundable appHcation fee of $15 must be paid prior to consideration

Freshman applicants are admitted to the university in only one of eight
academic categories: Allied Health Sciences, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Business Education, Computer Science, Interpreting for the Deaf,
Nursing or Teacher Education. Students may petition for an internal curriculum
change after enrollment. Transfer into high demand programs is possible but not
guaranteed.

4.03 Criteria

For Evaluation

Admission to Bloomsburg University is determined by the appHcant's
academic and personal qualifications. Decisions are reached without regard to race,
color, creed, national origin, sex or physical handicap.

Applicants other than those eligible under Section 4.06 must be graduates of
or seniors in accredited secondary schools or must have secondary school equivalen-

cy as determined by the Credentials Evaluation Division of the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

Acceptance is determined by the director of admissions upon evaluation of
secondary school preparation, achievement, scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test,
personal characteristics, and institutional capacity.
Acceptances are tentative if based on evaluation of transcripts which show
work in progress; final action is taken after complete transcripts have been received
and evaluated.

4.04

Entrance Test

An applicant must have on file scores of the Scholastic Aptitude Test of the
College Board. It is the responsibility of the applicant to arrange for the test and to
request the forwarding of the scores directly from the Educational Testing Service to
BU.

assistance in tutoring and counseling is given to address specific academic, financial
and social problems. Permission to be exempted from this requirement can only be
granted by the director of the Center for Academic Development.
Inquiries should be sent to the director of the Center for Academic Development or to the director of admissions. (See Section 6.3 for course offerings).

Early Admission

Outstanding high school students may be considered for admission prior to
high school graduation. In addition to strong achievement and high aptitude, applicants for early admission must have the endorsement of the high school to receive
consideration. College credit earned may apply toward the requirements for the high
school diploma.

4.07

Transfer Students
An

applicant

who was

previously enrolled, or at the time of application

enrolled, in another college or university

is

a transfer applicant.
The information supplied in Sections 4.02, Application Procedures, and 4.03,
Criteria for Evaluation, applies to transfer applicants. American College Test results
may be submitted by a transfer applicant instead of the Scholastic Aptitude Test
results. Test results are not required from applicants who have successfully comis

more semester hours of college credit. Transfer applicants must request
each college attended to send an official transcript to the Bloomsburg University
director of admissions, regardless of whether credit was earned at the other institu-

pleted 30 or

tion(s).

A transfer student may be considered for admission if he/she is certified as
holding good standing academically and otherwise in the college last attended and
having an overall quaHty point average of 2.0 or better on a 4.0 system for all courses
in which passing and/or failing grades were recorded.
4.08

Campus Visits

Personal interviews are welcomed but not required. Arrangements can be
an interview by writing or calling the Office of Admissions (717-389-4316).
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 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 to meet directly with academic faculty in the department(s) of their interest. Specific information and dates are available upon request from the director of
admissions.

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 100 college night/career day programs as well as 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.

Readmitted students are responsible for the graduation requirements and
academic policies which exist at the time of re-entrance.
The director 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, but the previous credit is included in their cumulative credit. Students may
invoke this provision only once. Courses failed prior to dismissal and repeated after
readmission are not subject to the repeat provisions outlined in Sections 5.01 and

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 director 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.

Advanced Standing For Military Service
Educational Experience

The recommendations of the American Council on Education as stated in its
Guide to Evaluation of Educational Experience in the Armed Services are: The appUcability of such credit to the requirements of the student's curriculum

is determined by recommendation of the dean of the college and confirmation by the provost
and vice president for academic affairs. United States Air Force-I courses validated
through college- level examinations are subject to the provisions for acceptance of
correspondence courses. Qualified veterans enrolling in military science are eligible
for placement into the advanced course based on their prior service and desire to seek
a commission through the Reserve Officers Training Corps program.

4.17 International

Education

Residents of foreign countries should initiate their application well in advance
of the semester they plan to enroll. Special application forms are required and may
be obtained by writing to the director of admissions. Students whose native language is other than English are required to submit the results of the Test of English as
a Foreign Language (TOEFL) Examination administered by the Educational Testing
Service, Princeton,

A semester hour is ordinarily defined as the credit for one weekly period of 50

between experimental time and credit.
5.01.13 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

The student must present evidence of equivalent experience if the course involves laboratory or studio work.
The student's petition must be approved in sequence by the department
chairperson and the dean of the college in which the course if offered.
An examination committee must be appointed by the department chairperson
and approved by the dean of the college. 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, if oral, 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.
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 Business Office. Evidence of payment must be presented to the department before the examination can be ad-

Suitable adaptations of the above procedures may be used to vaUdate transfer

be given the opportunity to request in writing that his/her grade not be posted. If a
student does not make the request, the instructor may assume that permission for
posting has been granted.
At any time during the semester, teaching faculty shall be prepared to inform
students of their academic progress, should the student request this.
At the end of a semester or summer term, the final grade for each course is
recorded on the student's permanent record; a copy of the semester grades is sent to
the student at his/her home address or another address designated by the student.

5.02 Class

Attendance Policy

Regular classroom attendance is expected of all students. However, a student
will be afforded reasonable assistance by a faculty member when class work is missed
for such reasons as the following:
1. Personal illness
2. Death or critical illness in the immediate family.
3. Participation in a university-sponsored co-curricular activity (mutually
satisfactory arrangements for assistance must be made by the student when the activity is announced).
The instructor is not required to give make-up examinations or review other
class work missed as a result of unauthorized absences.
A faculty member, with departmental approval, may adopt a reasonable,
alternative policy if class members are provided that policy in writing during the first
week of classes.

Unless specifically stated in a written plan filed in the Registrar's Office, it is
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

are counted only once in the computation. If a course is successfully repeated at
another accredited institution of higher education, the credits for the failure at
Bloomsburg are deleted from the computation.

Change of Grade

After a grade of A, B, C, D, or E has been reported to the Registrar's Office,
it may be changed only through the grievance process or to correct a computational
or clerical error. A recommendation for change of grade due to a computational or
clerical error must be made in writing by the instructor and approved by the department chairperson and the dean of the appropriate college. When the grades of I and

5.08 Retention Policies

5.08.01 Academic Probation

An

undergraduate student in one of the following categories

is

permitted to

attend on academic probation for one additional final grading period (semester or

summer) and

is

limited to sixteen semester hours:

an entering freshman whose Quality Point Average at the end of his/her
first final grading period is at least 1.00 but less than 1.25;
(b) a transfer student whose Quality Point Average at his/her first final
grading period is less than, but within 0.25 of the cumulative quality point average
required for minimal progress;
(c) a student who has been meeting the requirement for at least two consecutive grading periods immediately prior to a grading period in which his/her
cumulative Quality Point Average drops below, but within 0.1 of the cumulative
quality point average required for minimal progress;
(d) a full-time freshman or transfer student who was making minimal progress
toward good standing at the end of the first grading period following entrance but
whose Quality Point Average at the end of the second grading period is below but
within 0.1 of that required for minimal progress toward Good Standing.
(e) a full-time student who failed to earn 24 semester hours within one
12-month period.
(f) A part-time student who failed to earn the minimum number of semester
hours as prescribed above within the given semester.
(a)

5.08.02 Duration of Degree

Work

Full-time undergraduate students are expected to complete their

program of

study within five calendar years of continual enrollment. Full-time graduate students
are expected to complete their program of study within two calendar years of continuous enrollment. However, all requirements for a master's degree, including any
courses accepted by transfer, must be completed within six calendar years.
The period for completion of a master's degree may be extended for sufficient
reason. Written application for extension must be made to the dean of graduate
studies prior to the end of the six-year period.

5.08.03 Academic Dismissal
A student who at any final grading

period is neither in good standing nor
on academic probation is excluded from registration and his/her record is marked "academic dismissal".
A student under academic dismissal is ineligible to attend any courses offered
for a period of at least one calendar year. Readmission regulations are stated in Secqualified to attend for a semester

tion 4.12.

Students failing to meet the minimal requirements of earned credit hours
and/or quality point average will be notified by the Registrar's Office.

dean of Extended Programs; the coordinator of Academic Advisement, and the
registrar. At the initiative of either the applicant or the Academic Review Board, the
student's adviser 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 for up to 8 credit hours; twothirds of all credit hours attempted for 9 or more credit hours. (Note: Hours earned
for a repeated undergraduate course are not counted twice.)

5.09

Evaluation Of Transfer Credits
College-level courses completed in an accredited two-year or four-year college

C 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
or university in which grades of

transfer.

A

student applying to transfer courses must

5.11 Residence

fulfill the provisions of Section
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

72/Cheating

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.

weak.

Degrees/73

Depending on the results of the review of the record and the diagnostic
evaluation, an individualized program may be provided and strongly recommended
by the university before additional courses for credit toward the degree can be taken
in the corresponding areas. Each student will be provided with a report indicating a

recommended developmental plan based on

and the student's

record. Such individualized development programs will be provided for a maximum
of students within the budgetary limits of the university.

2. Faculty shall distribute in writing the requirements for each course within
the first week of each academic term. In these requirements final examinations shall
be worth no less than 20 percent nor more than 40 percent of the course grade. No
single exam, paper, project, or assignment shall have greater emphasis than the final
examination. As a result of this condition, every course must use at least three
evaluations for grading purposes.
3. Faculty shall give final examinations which are comprehensive in design,
emphasizing subject matter presented over the entire term.
4. Faculty shall return and/or permit students to review all unit tests,
quizzes, and other types of evaluations by the last regularly scheduled class in the

student during the last week of classes, faculty are advised to refrain from testing
during that week.
5. The Final Examination Schedule shall be prepared by the Office of the
Registrar with consultation of the faculty, if necessary, and approved by the Provost
and Vice President for Academic Affairs. Regularly scheduled final examination
periods shall be 120 minutes in length. Part of the final examination week shall include at least a one-day interval between the last full day of classes and the first day

not to exceed 80 minutes unless the arrangements have been worked out in advance
so that they can be announced at the first meeting of the class. Except in unusual circumstances, classes in six-week sessions shall have the final examination on the last
day of the course. Final examinations for courses scheduled in three-week sessions
shall be held during the last of the two class periods scheduled for the last day.
Classes in the nine-week sessions shall hold final examinations on the last scheduled
class day with the period extended to 80 minutes for that class.

Procedures
1. Faculty who wish to schedule quizzes, tests or examinations at times other
than during their regularly scheduled class periods during the term, may do so only if
a make-up opportunity is made available to students. This opportunity must be
scheduled at a time mutually acceptable to both student and faculty and may not
conflict with the student's other scheduled classes. A faculty member shall not give
an examination at a time other than during a regularly scheduled class period unless
approval is first obtained from the majority of the faculty members of his/her
academic department. Except for abnormal circumstances, this approval should be
granted by the end of the first week of classes. Notification of this alternative arrangement shall be given to the appropriate college dean.
2. A faculty member who believes that the content of his/her courses does not
lend itself to a scheduled examination must obtain approval for an alternative arrangement from the majority of the members of his/her academic department and
college dean. Notification of the approved arrangement shall be given to the Office
of the Registrar. Except for abnormal circumstances, the approval and notification
shall be made by the end of the first week of classes.
3. To change the requirement specifying that final examinations shall be
worth no less than twenty percent nor more than forty percent of the course grade,
there must be agreement for the change by the faculty member(s) in charge of the
class, the majority of the members of his/her academic department, the appropriate
college dean. Except for abnormal circumstances, the approval and notification to
students shall be made by the end of the first week of classes. If approved, the
change may remain in effect for the faculty member for the duration of this policy or

4. In order to change the time and place scheduled for a final examinafion,
there must be agreement for the change by the faculty member(s) in charge of the
class, 100% of the students in the class, and the appropriate College Dean. This
change must be made by the middle of the semester. Student opinion in this matter
shall be determined by secret ballot with the faculty member in charge of the vote. If
for some reason a change is m.ade in the time and date of a final examination that
results in a student conflict, the faculty member shall arrange to provide a make-up
opportunity during the Final Examination Period. (See below)

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

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

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.

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 of

the College of Arts

Degrees
The

degrees, bachelor of arts (B.A.) and bachelor of science (B.S.) are confer-

red for 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 discipHnes in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences
and mathematics.
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.

The Program

The College of Arts and Science CIS Curriculum emphasizes applications and
systems programming in a scientific environment.
The degree will focus on analysis and design of systems software; operating
systems, data management, and problem solving situations defined through
mathematical analysis which utilize computer systems.
The degree obtained through the College of Arts and Science reflects a broad
base of computer content courses supported by courses from the sciences,
mathematics in particular. The intent of the program is to prepare the student for
employment as a programmer analyst in the development of software systems applicable to many fields, particularly scientific and, to provide a strong basis for
graduate study in computer science. The program enables the student to seek
employment as applications programmer, programmer analyst, or system analyst
with computer manufacturers or industries that specialize in system software.
The College of Business' CIS Curriculum prepares students in applications
programming and information systems technology as defined to a business environment.
The degree will focus on commercial software, and hardware with an emphasis towards problem solving, data flow and analysis, design techniques, and
systems solutions within a commercial context which utilize computer systems.
The degree obtained through the College of Business is restrictive in the
technical requirements (computer content courses) and will require the student to
develop a business emphasis. The intent of the program is to prepare the student for
the job market in the areas of commercial systems and programming. Typical job
skills necessary to compete for positions such as applications programmer, programmer analyst, systems analyst, data base administrator, and information specialist

ENGINEERING AND LIBERAL ARTSCOOPERATIVE PROGRAM
(Dr.

James Moser-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 enroUing student at Bloomsburg, where the student will
study hberal arts subjects along vdth pre-engineering courses in the basic sciences.
Upon satisfactory completion of, and recommendation from that program, the stu-

dent 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 resuccessful completion of these proquirements as specified by that institution.
grams will lead to an appropriate baccalaureate degree from each institution. This

A

program was created to fulfill the following objectives:
/. 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.
3. 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.
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

more well-educated engineers.
Application for admission to the program will be made to Bloomsburg
University. The candidate will be subject to its admission requirements.
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.

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

204/Teacher Education

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 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,
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 university, he/she may transfer to other university programs. The student who wishes to be reinstated in teacher education must reapply for admission.

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

pubhc or

private schools.

Undergraduates who have satisfied the prerequisites for student teaching
courses are assigned to student teaching during the first or second semester of their
senior year. They are placed based on the availability of qualified cooperating
teachers in their subject area

by the

and the willingness of schools with programs approved
be prepared to accept assignments in any of the

university. Students should

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 of education and fre-

quently in two socio-economic environments.
Because of constantly changing educational and socio-economic circumstances, flexibiUty of format is maintained in the student teaching program.

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 the Office of International Education.

Students in the curriculum in communication disorders are required to comrecommendation by the universi-

plete the master's degree before they are eligible for

for certification. (The requirements for the master's degree appear in the
Graduate Catalogue.)
Admission to the undergraduate curriculum in communication disorders is
selective. 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
ty

the faculty of the department.

The

precise quota for each admission period

is predetermined by the departof 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 eligible to compete for admission to the graduate program in Education of the Hearing Impaired. The requirements for the master's degree appear in the

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY CURRICULUM
(Dr,

James E. Parsons, Program Coordinator)

The Medical Technology Program consists of a minimum of 96 semester
hours of courses prescribed by the university, followed by one calendar year of
cHnical education in a Medical Technology program accredited nationally by the
committee on Allied Health Education and Accreditation (CAHEA) of the
American Medical Association (AMA) through the National Accrediting Agency for
Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). Bloomsburg University has formed affiliations with the following programs: Abington Memorial Hospital (Abington), Divine
Providence Hospital (Williamsport), Geisinger Medical Center (Danville), Harrisburg Hospital (Harrisburg) Lancaster General Hospital (Lancaster), Nazareth
Hospital (Philadelphia), Polyclinic Medical Center (Harrisburg), Robert Packer
Hospital (Sayre), Sacred Heart Hospital (Allentown), St. Joseph's Hospital
(Reading) St. Luke's Hospital (Bethlehem), Scranton Medical Technology Consortium (Scranton), The Bryn Mawr Hospital (Bryn Mawr), The Reading Hospital arid
Medical Center (Reading) and Wilkes-Barre General Hospital (Wilkes-Barre).
Students enrolling in the curriculum leading to the bachelor of science degree
will be admitted under the same policy governing other applicants to Bloomsburg
University. These requirements may be found under the section entitled Admission
and Readmission. (See Table of Contents.)
Assistance in making application for admission to the clinical year program is
offered by the university, but admission as well as fees for that program is determined solely by that institution. The university cannot guarantee that any student will be
accepted for the clinical education portion of the program. In general, students with
the highest academic achievement, those who intervew well, as well as those with a
history of volunteer work are given priority. Knowledge of the field and home location in proximity to a given institution often play an important part in the selection
process.

Health Sciences/227

Students who successfully complete all of the requirements and the clinical
year program shall receive the bachelor of science degree. All clinical year graduates
will become eligible to take the certification examinations for medical technologists.

RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGY CURRICULUM
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 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. The required courses are shown below. It is assumed that most advanced
level students will be part-time and, hence, require a longer period to complete their
program than two years. At least 64 credits must be taken at a four-year college or
university and 32 of them must be from Bloomsburg University. The minimum
number of credits for graduation in this program is 135.
The recommended third year sequence of courses comprises an allied health
core similar to that taken by other allied health majors. Assistance in choosing the
proper courses is given by the departmental adviser for radiologic technology.

HEALTH SERVICES ASSOCIATE CURRICULUM
This advanced entry 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 interpersonal 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 chnical 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 eUgible 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 have shown proof of satisfactory completion of a clinical program.

Health Sciences/229

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 15
credits must be from Bloomsburg University.

Management 93.345
Requirements for admission to professional schools of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and cyctotechnology vary. Entrance into professional schools
usually follows two to four years of undergraduate preparation. Hence, the student
is encouraged to design a program which may lead to a baccalaureate degree at

Bloomsb'Tf University.

230/Health Sciences

The opportunity to obtain a baccalaureate degree

in physical therapy, occupabeen greatly enhanced as a result of an affiliation agreement between Bloomsburg University and Thomas Jefferson University's
College of Allied Health Sciences. This affiliation facilitates transfer to upperdivision baccalaureate degree programs at Thomas Jefferson University for students
who have completed a minimum of two years preparatory education at Bloomsburg
University. This "2 + 2" arrangement provides the advantage of offering a quality,
reasonably-priced education at a rural university combined with training in an attractive urban setting in Philadelphia at a major medical center.

The Air Force Reserve Officer 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 quahfication test, have attained an acceptable

Army ROTC
Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania students can qualify for a commisArmy, Army National Guard or Army Reserve through the oncampus Army ROTC program. The first two years of the program may be taken
sion in the U.S.

without military obligation.
Army ROTC provides a four-year curriculum open to both men and women
regardless of academic major or area of study. It is divided into a basic program of
four courses given during the freshman and sophomore years and the advanced program of four courses given during the junior and senior years. Academic credit is
given for all these courses. The basic program does not require the student to make
any commitment with the U.S. Army and allows the student to develop an
understanding of the role of the commissioned officer within the Army. Course
work provides training in leadership and management skills which help the individual develop the ability to communicate effectively, think analytically and make
independent and responsible decisions.

pay

Bloomsburg students are able to compete for Army ROTC scholarships which
and other educational fees. All students enrolled in the advanced pro-

full tuition

receive $100 a month for the 10 month period during the school year. After
completing the first year of the advanced program (normally between the junior and
senior years) the student will attend an advanced camp at Fort Bragg, North
Carolina. Payment during this camp is at a rate equivalent to one-half the basic pay
for a second lieutenant together with allowances for travel, subsistence, housing,
uniforms and medical care.
Veterans can be considered immediately for the advanced program by receiving constructive credit for the first two years of the Army ROTC. Other students
who did not take ROTC during their freshman and sophomore years can still qualify
for the advanced program if they have two years remaining at Bloomsburg. There
are a variety of programs available to qualify these students for the advanced program.
Army ROTC also offers a ranger detachment for students who wish to gain
more experience in outdoor activities, e.g. orienteering and survival skills.
The Army National Guard and Army Reserve conduct a program in coordination with Army ROTC at Bloomsburg. This simultaneous membership program
allows a student to earn more than $12,000 while participating in the program and
gaining a commission as a second lieutenant in the Army National Guard or Reserve.
Successful completion of the ROTC Advanced Program leads to a commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army, Army Reserve or Army National
Guard. Active duty time will vary according to the type of program the student has
elected and students can be guaranteed Reserve/National Guard duty if they desire.

Upward Bound

The university presents the opportunity for ninth and tenth grade students
from participating high schools to enroll in the Upward Bound Program. Participation may continue through the summer following high school graduation. The program, open to students meeting certain academic and financial eligibility requirements, is designed to assist these individuals by making them more selfconfident, 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 academic performance. 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 residential experience
on the university campus. This experience provides concentrated academic work,
plus planned recreational, social and cultural experiences both on and off campus.

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 knowledge, or pursue cultural and intellectual interests. Credit
courses may be chosen from both day and evening offerings, either on campus or 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

GRADUATE STUDIES

Degrees

Graduate study was inaugurated in 1960 with programs leading to the Master
of Education degree planned for teachers in service. In 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), a Master of
Science degree in Nursing (in 1983) and a Master of Science in Instructional
Technology.
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 the
application of acquired knowledge. The object of the Master of Business Administration degree is to provide increased knowledge and skills essential for quahty
