reorganize it as the Bloomsburg Literary Institute. Institute Hall, later
renamed Carver Hall after Henry Carver, an early principal, architect,
and teacher, was erected in 1867. Today, the gold-domed, red-brick
building
is
the university's landmark.
Largely through the efforts of J. P. Wickersham, superintendent of
public instruction, the Bloomsburg Literary Institute officially

The emphasis at the Normal School changed during the
early 1920s
from secondary and college-preparatory courses for specialized teachers
to full-time teacher education. In May 1927, the institutional name was
changed to Bloomsburg State Teachers College, and the school was
authorized to grant the Bachelor of Science in Education for teachers
in elementary
and secondary schools.

of President Francis B. Haas (1927-

today, Navy Hall still houses that program.

Major expansion
in facilities, faculty,
and student body followed.
Undergraduate full-time enrollment rose from 1,743 in 1960 to 6,184
undergraduates in 1992.
In 1960, the institution's
name was changed
to
Bloomsburg State
College. Authorization soon followed to grant baccalaureate degrees for
liberal arts
programs in humanities, social sciences, and natural
sci-
ences/mathematics. Graduate study, leading to the Master of Education,
was inaugurated. In 1968, approval was received for the Master of
Arts, in 1970 for the Master of Science, in 1976 for the Master of
Business Administration, and in 1982 for the Master of Science in
Nursing.
A
cooperative doctoral program in elementary education
began in 1982.
Commonwealth legislation enacted on July
1,
1983, established the
State System of Higher Education, and Bloomsburg State College
became Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania. Bloomsburg's president, Dr. James H. McCormick, became the system's interim chancellor
and later its first permanent chancellor.

Although students must rely on their own initiative to find suitable

provides other useful information of interest to student tenants and
their landlords. Before any rental property in the Town of Bloomsburg
is accepted for listing in the university housing directory, the owner
must submit the 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.

Meal Plan
Options and
Flex Dollars
All students living in campus residence halls are required to purchase a
meal plan. Students who live off-campus or in the Montgomery Place
Apartments may purchase a meal plan at the Business Office in Waller
Administration Building, but they are not required to do so.
The meal plan provides a cash equivalency option which allows
students to purchase a certain dollar amount at each meal in the various
food facilities on campus including the pizza shop and snack bar. After
making a selection, the cash price of the meal is totaled. If the cost is
under the prescribed amount, there is no charge. If it exceeds this
amount, the difference must be paid in cash or in flex dollars. One cash
equivalency meal equals one board meal.
Flex dollars, which are part of the meal plan and may be purchased
separately by students living off-campus or in the
Montgomery Place
Apartments, broaden a student's options. These dollars can be used
any food
is
facility.
Each time
at
a student uses flex dollars, the expenditure
subtracted from the balance of the student's flex account. Students
living in the residence halls
can add to their flex account in increments
of $25. Students living off-campus and in the Montgomery Place Apart-
ments can purchase flex dollars at the Business Office in $25 increments

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,

Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology
A total of 36 semester hours
is
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 obsetved
human phenomenon. Anthropology also has an important human-
istic 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-
pology's principle mission

or professions that require in-depth preparation in
the natural sciences.
In contrast, the Bachelor of Arts program allows more freedom in choosing courses and
enables students to gain a broad-based background in the natural sciences. This flexibility
gives students the opportunity to tailor a program to their specific interests, backgrounds,
and
career objectives.
Students pursuing either degree program
may
elect
an option in microbiology. The
required courses in microbiology specified under the option are identical for both programs of
study.
The marine
science option, which
is

to majors in
both bachelor's programs,
provides students with the opportunity to specialize in marine biology while obtaining a
general background in the biological sciences.

Goals and Objectives
The primary
goal of the faculty of the geology-earth science program
is
to provide students
with a solid foundation in geology and/orthe earth sciences. This is accomplished by balancing
classroom studies, laboratory exercises, and
field
experience with ancillary courses in chem-
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
istry,
physics,
liberal arts successfully prepares graduates for entry-level

Degree Program
A
3/2 cooperative dual-degree program: Bachelor of Arts in Physics or Mathematics from
Bloomsburg University and Bachelor of Science in an engineering discipline from The
Pennsylvania State University or Wilkes University
Goals and Objectives
The
engineering and liberal arts program provides the opportunity for students to pursue a
rewarding and challenging career in the high-demand
field of
engineering without forgoing
the broader scope of a Bloomsburg University educational experience. This cooperative
program of study leads to two baccalaureate degrees, one in
liberal arts
and sciences awarded
by Bloomsburg University and one in an area of engineering from either
The Pennsylvania
State University or Wilkes University. Candidates for these degrees spend three years at
Bloomsburg University, where they study science, mathematics, pre-engineering, and a broad
variety of liberal arts subjects, followed by
two years
at the University
Park campus of Penn
State or at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, where they study engineering disciplines.
Students
may
pursue an engineering education in any of the following areas:

Degree Program
Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
A total of 66 semester hours
is
required for a major in management information systems under
the business administration degree program. Majors also are offered in accounting, business
administration economics, finance, management, and marketing.
Goals and Objectives
The Department of Computer and Information Systems in the College of Business offers
two degree tracks: the Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in Management
Information Systems and the Bachelor of Science in Computer and Information Science.
Both programs involve learning how to develop information systems for the business
environment. They differ in emphasis. For information on the latter program, see Computer
and Information Science on page 152.
The Management Information Systems (MIS) major provides both a broad background in
business as well as an in-depth knowledge of the process of system analysis and design. Students
gain a familiarity with the functions of management, accounting, marketing, and finance.
Specialized courses focus on problem solving techniques, structured programming, systems
analysis and design, and the process of developing managerial computer applications. The
program stresses the importance of computer skills. Students learn a variety of programming
languages and work on a number of different hardware platforms, including networked
microcomputers, workstations, and multiuser minicomputers and mainframe systems.
The program prepares students for professional employment in the areas of system
development and maintenance, information resource management, management of information systems,
and end user computing support.

Degree Program
Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications
A total of 33
to 41 semester hours
is
required for a major in mass communications.
For information on the Bachelor of Science in Education which offers an area of specialization
in
communications/media, see the section on Secondary Education on page 176.
Goals and Objectives
The mass communications program
is
designed to balance the needs for broad knowledge of
the liberal arts and natural sciences, professional preparation, and understanding of the critical
and theoretical
issues
confronting people employed within the media.
To achieve the first of
these three goals, majors are expected to take at least 90 semester hours in the humanities and
sciences.
At least 87 semester hours must be outside the department spread widely among the
other departments of the College of Arts and Sciences.
Courses within the department
fulfill
the second two goals by representing a balance of
professional preparation (e.g.,Newswriting, Broadcast Journalism, Public Relations Cases and
Problems, practice and internships), and theoretical issues
(e.g.,
Film History, Media Law, and
Social Foundations of Mass Communications).
Most core
courses focus attention
on the
social, political,
and
legal issues that reporters,
producers, managers, and technical personnel must confront.
The
professional foundation needed to function in the fast paced
media environment.
The
track courses provide the
internship experience in an appropriate off-campus site completes the professional
training needed to enter the job market.
Admission Requirements
Admission to the mass communications program
to the
maximum
is
by application to the chair and
is
limited
enrollment each semester that can be reasonably accommodated by
departmental resources. Annual enrollment
is
limited to approximately 60 students
who
should have achieved a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher. Acceptance into the
program depends, however, not only on the
QPA, but also on past experience and potential.
Students 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 balance the number of students seeking entrance to each of the three major tracks
available in mass communications. Students are, therefore, encouraged to make a case for their
admission in the light of previous experience even
if they
feel their
QPAs may not alone justify
admission. Students will be notified of their acceptance as mass communications majors as
quickly as possible. Students are expected to have declared their majors no later than the time

Degree Programs
Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics, Bachelor of Science in Mathematics
The bachelor
The bachelor
of arts program requires 45 semester hours for a major in mathematics.
of science program requires 56 semester hours for a major in mathematics.
Goals and Objectives
The primary
objective of the mathematics program
is
to provide a
thorough background in
The curriculum and
and promote critical thinking and problem
solving skills and the articulation of mathematical ideas.
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers three baccalaureate degree
programs: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, and Bachelor of Science in
Computer Science (See section on Computer Science on page 156). The department also offers
a minor in computer science, one in statistics, and another in mathematics.
The course sequence in all of the degree programs in mathematics is essentially the same
through the first two years. The bachelor of arts program in mathematics offers a more flexible
curriculum designed to accommodate varied career objectives while the bachelor of science
program is specifically applications-oriented with more required courses in mathematical
analysis and science. In the bachelor of science program, students select an area of concentration in their junior year to develop proficiency in an area of applied mathematics. Many
students choose a joint program in mathematics and computer science, mathematics and
statistics or mathematics and an area of business or physical sciences. A student majoring in
education who chooses an area of concentration in mathematics essentially follows the
bachelor of arts program in mathematics. The department strongly supports the implementation of mathematical and statistical software throughout all the mathematical programs
Students who complete a degree program in mathematics are prepared to continue their studies
of mathematics on the graduate level or to enter industry in an area where mathematics is used.
For admission to the major in mathematics, a student should have a thorough preparation
in high school mathematics. Students who complete the Advanced Placement Examination

Goals and Objectives
The programs
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.

Bloomsburg University participates with Wilkes University in a cross-enrollment program
which allows students
to earn commissions as officers in the U.S. Air Force while pursuing a
university degree. Courses are taught
on the Wilkes University campus
in Wilkes-Barre,
Pennsylvania, about a one-hour drive from Bloomsburg.
The Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps ( AFROTC) program provides both a fourThe first two years of the four-year program are called the General
Military Course (GMC). The last two years of the four-year program are the same as the twoyear program and are called the Professional Officer Course (POC). Students may enroll in

open to any university student. However, students may apply for
acceptance into the POC, usually in their sophomore year. To enter the POC, students must
pass a physical examination, an officer qualification test, meet certain academic standards,
and complete a four-week (or six-week, if enrolled in the two-year program) field training
encampment, normally prior to their junior year. Applicants for the two-year program must
start the application process as early as possible in their sophomore year.
All AFROTC cadets are eligible to compete for one, two or three-year Air Force
scholarships generally valued from $2,000 to $8,000 a year. All POC cadets are eligible to
apply for at least a $2,000 per year scholarship, regardless of academic major.
Uniforms, equipment, and textbooks for the AFROTC work are supplied by Wilkes
University and the U.S. Air Force. Students in the POC receive a $100 per month allowance.
Students who successfully complete the POC are commissioned as second lieutenants in
the U.S. Air Force and will serve on active duty in a career speciality they have chosen,
consistent with USAF needs. Qualified students may compete for duty as pilots, navigators,
nurses, engineers, missile or space operations, meteorologists, computer analysts, lawyers,

and dental care are provided by the Air Force. The cadet receives
approximately $400 for the four- week field training program or $600 for the six-week program.
The optional Advanced Training Program allows POC members to visit a USAF base for
two weeks during ther summer between the cadet's junior and senior years and to work with
an active duty officer in the student's chosen career area. The pariticipating cadet is provided
a weekly salary during the program.

Basic Course consists of four courses given during the freshman
and sophomore years. During this period, instruction covers such subjects as military history
and organization, traditions, and leadership development.
The Advanced Course consists of four courses given during the junior and senior years.
This portion of the curriculum concentrates on practical application of leadership skills such
as tactics, training, ethics, and continued leadership development.
Students receive academic credit for all ROTC courses. The basic program does not require
the student to make any commitment to the U.S. Army and allows the student to develop an
understanding of the role of the commissioned officer within the Army. Coursework 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.
Two,
and four year academic scholarships are available. Benefits include full tuition
books, and $100 a month during the academic year. Students enrolled
in the advanced program also receive the $ 1 00 a month regardless of whether or not they were
awarded a scholarship. During the summer between the j unior and senior year, students attend
a six-week camp where they are paid at a rate equal to half the basic pay of a second lieutenant.

Department of Music
are to provide a balanced
and diverse program of
quality music activities, to provide a student-generated music performance element for the
entire university
community, and
to achieve better understanding of the art of music
the principles guiding effective music education. This goal
number
is
and
supported by a generous
of course offerings (classroom music courses in appreciation, skill development,
style and repertoire, harmony and application), maintenance of seven
prominent performance ensembles appearing regularly on campus and through tours, and
opportunities to study voice, piano, organ, and the standard orchestral string and wind
instruments on a weekly private lesson basis. In addition, opportunities exist for solo work,
recitals, and leadership roles.
Program offerings include: a Bachelor of Arts in Music, a liberal arts-oriented preparation
for studio teaching and postbaccalaureate study having either a performance or music history
specialization; a minor in music, a 22-semester hour program packaged according to seven
specialty areas in music; a music concentration for education majors; and certificate programs
in music (22 semester hours) and theater-music (18 semester hours). Selection of either the
music major or minor program is highly encouraged in the freshman year.
Prospective performance music majors must audition by cassette ot in person before
acceptance as a music major into the applied music (performance) specialization.

Goals and Objectives
This department includes both speech communication and theater divisions.
The speech
communication division supports general education for the entire university with courses in
public speaking,, interpersonal communication, and intercultural communication.
Students who major in speech communication learn written and oral communication
skills for use in a variety of settings. Those who expect to work in one-to-one and small group
situations in business typically choose the specialization in interpersonal and organizational
communication, while those who expect to deliver speeches and write for publication
typically choose the specialization in public communication. The major has proved to be good
career training for students who enter
many fields of business, especially in jobs such as public
relations, tour guide/public hospitality, personnel
and sales.
It is
also excellent preparation for those
in order to enter
such
and
training, fund raising,
management,
who pursue graduate and professional study
fields as teaching, law, politics,
and ministry.
Required Courses
Ten courses, which total 30 semester hours, are required for the major. These include:

of Concentration in Education of Deaf/Hard of Hearing
The undergraduate curriculum in education of the deaf/hard of hearing lays the foundation for
the training and education needed to prepare classroom teachers and itinerant hearing
therapists to
work
in educational settings with deaf/hard of hearing children
and
adults.
Individuals seeking certification to teach in educational programs for the deaf/hard of hearing
are first required to major in early childhood, elementary, secondary or special education or
speech pathology /audiology. Students supplement the curriculum for their majors with an area
of concentration in education oi the deaf/hard of hearing that requires a
minimum
of 18
semester hours. All students in hearing loss studies take General Education courses, professional education courses,
and courses in
studies in hearing loss concurrently throughout the
program with the concentration in education of the deaf/hard of hearing.
Certification to teach deaf/hard of hearing students in school programs
is
granted by the
Pennsylvania Department of Education upon completion of a related graduate program.

reorganize it as the Bloomsburg Literary Institute. Institute Hall, later
renamed Carver Hall after Henry Carver, an early principal, architect,
and teacher, was erected in 1867. Today, the gold-domed, red-brick
building
is
the university's landmark.
Largely through the efforts of J. P. Wickersham, superintendent of
public instruction, the Bloomsburg Literary Institute officially

The emphasis at the Normal School changed during the
early 1920s
from secondary and college-preparatory courses for specialized teachers
to full-time teacher education. In May 1927, the institutional name was
changed to Bloomsburg State Teachers College, and the school was
authorized to grant the Bachelor of Science in Education for teachers
in elementary
and secondary schools.

of President Francis B. Haas (1927-

Major expansion
in facilities, faculty,
and student body followed.
Undergraduate full-time enrollment rose from 1,743 in 1960 to 6,184
undergraduates in 1992.
In 1960, the institution's
name was changed
to
Bloomsburg State
College. Authorization soon followed to grant baccalaureate degrees for
liberal arts
programs in humanities, social sciences, and natural
sci-
ences/mathematics. Graduate study, leading to the Master of Education,
was inaugurated. In 1968, approval was received for the Master of
Arts, in 1970 for the Master of Science, in 1976 for the Master of
Business Administration, and in 1982 for the Master of Science in
Nursing.
A
cooperative doctoral program in elementary education
began in 1982.
Commonwealth legislation enacted on July
1,
1983, established the
State System of Higher Education, and Bloomsburg State College
became Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania. Bloomsburg's president, Dr. James H. McCormick, became the system's interim chancellor
and later its first permanent chancellor.

or courses listed in the Undergraduate Catalog through a comprehensive
examination instead of through registration and
class attendance.
The
following regulations govern this provision:

the course content, either through experience other than college
attendance or through independent study of the course content.
•A student may not petition for an examination
he has audited or

•The student must present evidence
of equivalent experience
if
the course involves laboratory or studio work.
•The

chairperson of the department and the dean of the college in which
the course
is
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,

Although students must rely on their own initiative to find suitable

provides other useful information of interest to student tenants and
their landlords. Before any rental property in the Town of Bloomsburg
is accepted for listing in the university housing directory, the owner
must submit the 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.

Flex Dollars
All students living in campus residence halls are required to purchase a
meal plan. Students who live off-campus or in the Montgomery Place
Apartments may purchase a meal plan at the Business Office in Waller
Administration Building, but they are not required to do so.
The meal plan provides a cash equivalency option which allows
students to purchase a certain dollar amount at each meal in the various
food facilities on campus including the pizza shop and snack bar. After
making a selection, the cash price of the meal is totaled. If the cost is
under the prescribed amount, there is no charge. If it exceeds this
amount, the difference must be paid in cash or in flex dollars. One cash
equivalency meal equals one board meal.
Flex dollars, which are part of the meal plan and may be purchased
separately by students living off-campus or in the
Montgomery Place
Apartments, broaden a student's options. These dollars can be used

Each time

a student uses flex dollars, the expenditure

living in the residence halls
can add to their flex account in increments
of $25. Students living off-campus and in the Montgomery Place Apart-
ments can purchase flex dollars at the Business Office in $25 increments
once they have made an initial minimum deposit of $ 1 00 into their flex
account.

Goals and Objectives
The programs
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
support, aid
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 obsetved
human phenomenon. Anthropology also has an important human-
istic 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-
pology's principle mission

is
to provide a liberal education for all students. Graduates in this

or professions that require in-depth preparation in
the natural sciences.
In contrast, the Bachelor of Arts program allows more freedom in choosing courses and
enables students to gain a broad-based background in the natural sciences. This flexibility
gives students the opportunity to tailor a program to their specific interests, backgrounds,
and
career objectives.
Students pursuing either degree program
may
elect
an option in microbiology. The
required courses in microbiology specified under the option are identical for both programs of
study.
The marine
science option, which
is

to majors in
both bachelor's programs,
provides students with the opportunity to specialize in marine biology while obtaining a
general background in the biological sciences.

Goals and Objectives
The Department of Computer and Information Systems in the College of Business offers two
baccalaureate degree programs: Computer and Information Science (CIS) and Management
Information Systems (MIS). While both programs involve learning how to develop information systems for the business environment, they differ significantly in emphasis. (For
information on the
Management Information Systems program,
see the section
on Manage-
ment Information Systems on page 236.)
The CIS curriculum
prepares students in the development and maintenance of computer-
based information systems for the business environment.

experience with ancillary courses in chem-
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
istry,
physics,

Degree Program
A
3/2 cooperative dual-degree program: Bachelor of Arts in Physics or Mathematics from
Bloomsburg University and Bachelor of Science in an engineering discipline from The
Pennsylvania State University or Wilkes University
Goals and Objectives
The
engineering and liberal arts program provides the opportunity for students to pursue a
rewarding and challenging career in the high-demand
field of
engineering without forgoing
the broader scope of a Bloomsburg University educational experience. This cooperative
program of study leads to two baccalaureate degrees, one in
liberal arts
and sciences awarded
by Bloomsburg University and one in an area of engineering from either
The Pennsylvania
State University or Wilkes University. Candidates for these degrees spend three years at
Bloomsburg University, where they study science, mathematics, pre-engineering, and a broad
variety of liberal arts subjects, followed by
two years
at the University
Park campus of Penn
State or at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, where they study engineering disciplines.
Students
may
pursue an engineering education in any of the following areas:

Degree Program
Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
A total of 66 semester hours
is
required for a major in management information systems under
the business administration degree program. Majors also are offered in accounting, business
administration economics, finance, management, and marketing.
Goals and Objectives
The Department of Computer and Information Systems in the College of Business offers
two degree tracks: the Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in Management
Information Systems and the Bachelor of Science in Computer and Information Science.
Both programs involve learning how to develop information systems for the business
environment. They differ in emphasis. For information on the latter program, see Computer
and Information Science on page 152.
The Management Information Systems (MIS) major provides both a broad background in
business as well as an in-depth knowledge of the process of system analysis and design. Students
gain a familiarity with the functions of management, accounting, marketing, and finance.
Specialized courses focus on problem solving techniques, structured programming, systems
analysis and design, and the process of developing managerial computer applications. The
program stresses the importance of computer skills. Students learn a variety of programming
languages and work on a number of different hardware platforms, including networked
microcomputers, workstations, and multiuser minicomputers and mainframe systems.
The program prepares students for professional employment in the areas of system
development and maintenance, information resource management, management of information systems,
and end user computing support.

Degree Program
Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications
A total of 33
to 41 semester hours
is
required for a major in mass communications.
For information on the Bachelor of Science in Education which offers an area of specialization
in
communications/media, see the section on Secondary Education on page 176.
Goals and Objectives
The mass communications program
is
designed to balance the needs for broad knowledge of
the liberal arts and natural sciences, professional preparation, and understanding of the critical
and theoretical
issues
confronting people employed within the media.
To achieve the first of
these three goals, majors are expected to take at least 90 semester hours in the humanities and
sciences.
At least 87 semester hours must be outside the department spread widely among the
other departments of the College of Arts and Sciences.
Courses within the department
fulfill
the second two goals by representing a balance of
professional preparation (e.g.,Newswriting, Broadcast Journalism, Public Relations Cases and
Problems, practice and internships), and theoretical issues
(e.g.,
Film History, Media Law, and
Social Foundations of Mass Communications).
Most core
courses focus attention
on the
social, political,
and
legal issues that reporters,
producers, managers, and technical personnel must confront.
The
professional foundation needed to function in the fast paced
media environment.
The
track courses provide the
internship experience in an appropriate off-campus site completes the professional
training needed to enter the job market.
Admission Requirements
Admission to the mass communications program
to the
maximum
is
by application to the chair and
is
limited
enrollment each semester that can be reasonably accommodated by
departmental resources. Annual enrollment
is
limited to approximately 60 students
who
should have achieved a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher. Acceptance into the
program depends, however, not only on the
QPA, but also on past experience and potential.
Students 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 balance the number of students seeking entrance to each of the three major tracks
available in mass communications. Students are, therefore, encouraged to make a case for their
admission in the light of previous experience even
if they
feel their
QPAs may not alone justify
admission. Students will be notified of their acceptance as mass communications majors as
quickly as possible. Students are expected to have declared their majors no later than the time

Degree Programs
Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics, Bachelor of Science in Mathematics
The bachelor
The bachelor
of arts program requires 45 semester hours for a major in mathematics.
of science program requires 56 semester hours for a major in mathematics.
Goals and Objectives
The primary
objective of the mathematics program
is
to provide a
thorough background in
The curriculum and
and promote critical thinking and problem
solving skills and the articulation of mathematical ideas.
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers three baccalaureate degree
programs: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, and Bachelor of Science in
Computer Science (See section on Computer Science on page 156). The department also offers
a minor in computer science, one in statistics, and another in mathematics.
The course sequence in all of the degree programs in mathematics is essentially the same
through the first two years. The bachelor of arts program in mathematics offers a more flexible
curriculum designed to accommodate varied career objectives while the bachelor of science
program is specifically applications-oriented with more required courses in mathematical
analysis and science. In the bachelor of science program, students select an area of concentration in their junior year to develop proficiency in an area of applied mathematics. Many
students choose a joint program in mathematics and computer science, mathematics and
statistics or mathematics and an area of business or physical sciences. A student majoring in
education who chooses an area of concentration in mathematics essentially follows the
bachelor of arts program in mathematics. The department strongly supports the implementation of mathematical and statistical software throughout all the mathematical programs
Students who complete a degree program in mathematics are prepared to continue their studies
of mathematics on the graduate level or to enter industry in an area where mathematics is used.
For admission to the major in mathematics, a student should have a thorough preparation
in high school mathematics. Students who complete the Advanced Placement Examination

Goals and Objectives
The programs
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.

Bloomsburg University participates with Wilkes University in a cross-enrollment program
which allows students
to earn commissions as officers in the U.S. Air Force while pursuing a
university degree. Courses are taught
on the Wilkes University campus
in Wilkes-Barre,
Pennsylvania, about a one-hour drive from Bloomsburg.
The Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps ( AFROTC) program provides both a fourThe first two years of the four-year program are called the General
Military Course (GMC). The last two years of the four-year program are the same as the twoyear program and are called the Professional Officer Course (POC). Students may enroll in

open to any university student. However, students may apply for
acceptance into the POC, usually in their sophomore year. To enter the POC, students must
pass a physical examination, an officer qualification test, meet certain academic standards,
and complete a four-week (or six-week, if enrolled in the two-year program) field training
encampment, normally prior to their junior year. Applicants for the two-year program must
start the application process as early as possible in their sophomore year.
All AFROTC cadets are eligible to compete for one, two or three-year Air Force
scholarships generally valued from $2,000 to $8,000 a year. All POC cadets are eligible to
apply for at least a $2,000 per year scholarship, regardless of academic major.
Uniforms, equipment, and textbooks for the AFROTC work are supplied by Wilkes
University and the U.S. Air Force. Students in the POC receive a $100 per month allowance.
Students who successfully complete the POC are commissioned as second lieutenants in
the U.S. Air Force and will serve on active duty in a career speciality they have chosen,
consistent with USAF needs. Qualified students may compete for duty as pilots, navigators,
nurses, engineers, missile or space operations, meteorologists, computer analysts, lawyers,

and dental care are provided by the Air Force. The cadet receives
approximately $400 for the four- week field training program or $600 for the six-week program.
The optional Advanced Training Program allows POC members to visit a USAF base for
two weeks during ther summer between the cadet's junior and senior years and to work with
an active duty officer in the student's chosen career area. The pariticipating cadet is provided
a weekly salary during the program.

Basic Course consists of four courses given during the freshman
and sophomore years. During this period, instruction covers such subjects as military history
and organization, traditions, and leadership development.
The Advanced Course consists of four courses given during the junior and senior years.
This portion of the curriculum concentrates on practical application of leadership skills such
as tactics, training, ethics, and continued leadership development.
Students receive academic credit for all ROTC courses. The basic program does not require
the student to make any commitment to the U.S. Army and allows the student to develop an
understanding of the role of the commissioned officer within the Army. Coursework 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.
Two,
and four year academic scholarships are available. Benefits include full tuition
books, and $100 a month during the academic year. Students enrolled
in the advanced program also receive the $ 1 00 a month regardless of whether or not they were
awarded a scholarship. During the summer between the j unior and senior year, students attend
a six-week camp where they are paid at a rate equal to half the basic pay of a second lieutenant.
