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

Bloomsburg State Normal School.
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.

Under the administration

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

1983, established the

Group interviews are held regularly on campus. Arrangements can be
made to attend a group interview by contacting the Office of Admissions at (717) 389-4316. The campus Visitors Center is located in the
lobby of Waller Administration Building and open weekdays, 8 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. and weekends, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Three Saturday Open House programs are held in October, Novemand February in Mitrani Hall of Haas Center for the Arts beginning
at 10 a.m. Open House programs consist of a general meeting with
admissions staff and administrative personnel, a question-and-answer
session, a campus tour, lunch (at a nominal cost), and meetings with
faculty from various academic departments. Participation in an open
house day may be more meaningful than a group interview because
prospective students have the opportunity to meet directly with mem

Off-campus
Visits

Each year, representatives from the Office of Admissions visit secondary
community colleges throughout Pennsylvania and in

schools and

neighboring

states.

also participate in approximately

100 college

grants, student employment, loans, and scholarships. All applicants for

Although students must rely on their own initiative to find suitable
accommodations, the Residence Life Office collects data on off-campus
housing opportunities, prepares housing and landlord directories, and
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

Apartments, broaden a student's options. These dollars can be used

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

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

in preparation for

in business

and government and

careers.

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

also

open

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:

Goals and Objectives

The programs

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

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

Students who wish to become mass communications majors must file a specific application

with the department chairperson, submit with

this application a

copy of their

of writing or production samples in one of the mass communications areas.
Note: This selection is not binding and may be changed. Students are advised to discuss
scripts, indicate

the study tracks with their advisers to assure that course selections will count toward their final
objectives.

Required Courses
Required courses in mass communications include: 27.230, 27.310, 27.315, 27.320, and
27.415, and either Mass Communications Technologies, a research course, or a statistics
course selected from outside the department.

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

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.

required for a major in music.

Goals and Objectives

The

goals of the

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.
A maximum of 6 semester hours may be earned in seven ensembles: Maroon and Gold
Band, Concert Choir, Women's Choral Ensemble, University-Community Orchestra,
Husky Singers, Studio Band, and Chambet Singers. Enrollment in an ensemble is based on
invitation or successful audition. The ensembles are described as courses 35.106 through

Goals and Objectives

The Bachelor

of Arts in Physics provides a background suitable for direct entry into

employment by industry or government. It meets the specifications for qualification as a
physicist of the Civil Service Commission. This degree also provides the qualifications
necessary for admission to graduate study in most colleges and universities offering master of
science and doctor of philosophy degrees in physics and in other specialized interdisciplinary
fields. Students may combine the physics degree with an engineering degree through the
engineering/liberal arts program offered by Bloomsburg University in cooperation with

The

Pennsylvania State University or Wilkes University (See section on Engineering and Liberal
Arts

required for a major in speech communication.

Bachelor of Science in Education with Communication Certification

Requirements

for the bachelor of science in education are

found in the section on Secondary

Education on page 176. This degree program offers a communication certification with a
speech, theater or nonprint media option. Students in this degree program have an adviser in

both the Curriculum and Foundations and the Communication Studies departments.

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:

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
