Orientation

At the university, enrollment involves much more than an educational
endeavor. There are career, personal, and social concerns that students
address, all of which are important to achieving a well-balanced college

experience. Orientation helps to meet these concerns by providing for

the

initial

contacts with faculty in the crucial academic advisement

process; familiarizing students with the university;
ices, facilities,

viding for completion of certain pre-enrollment matters involving
scheduling, identification cards, meal tickets, and program evaluations.

Goals and Objectives

The programs
support, aid

in allied health sciences

encompass those health areas in which individuals

and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of other health professionals by

becoming a contributing member of a health care team. Programs

in this area

combine natural

science and liberal arts education with clinical instruction. In general, students who complete

any of the programs may enter their professions immediately. Others may select postgraduate
education in health care. Central to most allied health programs, especially the clinical portion,

is

satisfactory

completion of the clinical standards, often referred to

as the Essentials.

These standards establish requirements related to curriculum, personnel, financing, resources,
and records.

required for a major in anthropology.

Goals and Objectives
Anthropology, the study of humankind, attempts to establish useful information and generalizations about people, their behavior,

and

their cultural

and biological

origins, to arrive at

the fullest possible understanding of human diversity. Anthropology promotes global cultural

awareness through classroom studies of cultures everywhere. Anthropology, in
other sciences,

is

common with

concerned with the formulation and testing of hypotheses or tentative

explanations of observed human phenomenon. Anthropology also has an important humanistic tradition.

At Bloomsburg University, anthropology is divided into three study areas: cultural anthropology which studies ways of life in societies across the world; physical anthropology which
traces human origins and biological variability; and archaeology which seeks to explain
human behavior by studying material remains from past cultures. The Department of Anthro-

The

required courses in microbiolog\' specified under the option are identical for both programs of
study.

The option in marine biology- is also open to majors in both bachelor's programs. It provides
students with the opportunity to specialize in marine biology while obtaining a general

background in the biological sciences. At

least four courses, totaling 12 semester hours,

Goals and Objectives

The primary goal of the faculty of the geology-earth science program is to provide our students
with a solid foundation in geology and/or the earth sciences. This is accomplished by balancing
classroom studies, laboratory exercises, and field experience with ancillary courses in chemistry,

physics,

and mathematics. The departmental program

also supports the university's

aim

of providing a strong liberal arts background for our students. This integration of science and
liberal arts successfully prepares

our graduates for entry- level employment in the earth science

Bachelor of Arts in English

A total of 45 semester hours

is

required for a major in English.

Goals and Objectives

The department

offers a

program leading to a Bachelor of Arts in English and provides the

English courses for Bachelor of Science in Education in two areas of concentration, English

and Communication, which culminate

in certification for teaching in secondary schools.

The department also offers a minor in English for students who want to add

its

benefits to

their undergraduate programs of study.

The discipline of English opens doors to personal satisfaction and many kinds of careers.
With its emphasis on writing and literature, an English degree helps students develop communication skills and gain a broad knowledge of human nature and society. These qualities
are

flexible,

and capable of continuous learning: managers with the skills to anticipate change and
not be surprised." These qualities, the article continues, are "the attributes we have come to

critical

associate with a liberal arts education."

Besides offering business career advantages to students, the English programs are equally

valuable as preparation for graduate study for both master's and doctoral degrees.

Required Courses
Required courses include: 20.120, 20.203, 20.220, 20.221, 20.222, 20.223, 20.224 or 20.225,

Goals and Objectives

The mass communications program

should exhibit strong writing, visual, and creative qualities and a record of interest and
participation in media-related extracurricular activities.

Some

variations also occur to help
