Bloomsburg University
A Membere of Pennsylvani
's
State System of Higher Education
Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania is
one of the 14 state-owned universities that coinpose the State System of Higher Education. In
addition to 64 undergraduate degree programs
and one associate degree program, Bloomsburg offers 18 master's degrees in select academic disciplines and a doctoral program in
elementary education in cooperation with Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
Bloomsburg
University,
which offers
cur-
ricula in liberal arts, business, nursing, allied
health sciences, and teacher education, has
more than 7,500 students. The university is
organized as three colleges (Arts and Sciences, Business, and Professional Studies) and two
schools (Graduate Studies and Extended Programs). The scope and internal structure of
each college is described in the succeeding
chapter of this catalog.
The home of Bloomsburg University is its
namesake, the Town of Bloomsburg, the county seat of Columbia County, Pa. The industrial, trading, and residential community of nearly 12,000 is located 80 miles northeast of Harrisburg and is within two miles of two inter-
changes off Interstate 80.
Bloomsburg is served by Greyhound and
Continental Trailways bus lines. Commercial
airports in the Scran to n/Wilkes-Barre area and
in Williamsport are approximately an hour's
drive
from the
university.
History
An academy "to teach youth the elements
of a classical education" was established in

was prepared and stock issued to reorganize

Bloomsburg Literary Institute. Institute
renamed Carver Hall after Henry
Carver, an early principal, architect, and teachas the
Hall, later
was erected in 1867. Today, the gold-domed,
red-brick building is the university's landmark.
er,
Largely through the efforts of J. P. Wickersham, superintendent of public instruction, the
Bloomsburg Literary Institute officially became
the Bloomsburg Literary Institute and State
Normal School in 1869; it continued under this
name and organization until 1916 when it was
purchased by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and named 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.
May
In
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 teachelementary and secondary schools.
Under the administration of President
ers in
Francis B. Haas (1927-1939), great progress was
made in the teacher education program, and
new degree program in business education
a
was
initiated.
Upon
the naming 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. Dur-
ing World
War
II,
the U.S. Navy V-12 Officer
Training Program was conducted on the
Bloomsburg campus. As a result, a campus
building was renamed Navy Hall. In 1957, a
division of special education was instituted, and
today, Navy Hall still houses that program.
Major expansion in facilities, faculty, and
student body followed. Undergraduate fulltime 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
programs in humanities, social
and natural sciences/mathematics.
for liberal arts
sciences,
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.

The College of Arts and Sciences includes
curricula in 19 departments with the expressed
intention of providing a quality liberal arts
education. These curricula encourage broad
knowledge, ideas, and intellectual process. The liberal arts philosophy places
strong emphasis on cultural and scientific
knowledge, and on essential skills such as read-
exposure

Student Teaching
Teacher education culminates in student
teaching. Having satisfied the prerequisites for
student teaching courses, undergraduates are
assigned to positions in public or private
schools for the first or second semester of their
senior year. They are placed based on the availability of qualified cooperating teachers in
their subject area and the willingness of schools
with programs approved by the university. Students should be prepared to accept assignments in any of the student teaching centers.
A student teaching semester is divided into
two equal periods so that students may teach
at two grade levels and frequently in two socioeconomic environments. Because of constantly changing educational and socioeconomic
circumstances, flexibility of format is maintained in the student teaching program.
Student Teaching Centers
Student teaching centers and cooperating
teachers are drawn from urban, suburban, and
rural areas. Students in early childhood, ele-
mentary 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.
Student may arrange their student teaching assignment in one of the international
centers with which Bloomsburg cooperates, for
example, in Liverpool or London, England.
Information about this program may be obtained from department chairpersons.
Cooperating Teachers and Clinicians
Cooperating teachers and clinicians are
selected by faculty in teacher education based
on criteria set forth by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. These parameters are:
I. At least three years of teaching

experience, one year of which has
been in the district to which the
teacher candidate is assigned;
2. A teaching assignment appropriate to
the subject competency of the teacher
candidate;
3. Completion of a program of preparation on observation and evaluation
skills developed by the college or
university for the cooperating teacher.
Training at the university is achieved
through the following means:
1. Individualized training;
2. Use of student teaching and clinical
manual;

Degree and Licensure
The nursing program at Bloomsburg University provides learning opportunities in nursing and related disciplines which enable students to attain attitudes, knowledge, and skills
essential to the role development of a beginning practitioner. The baccalaureate program
culminates in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and qualifies its graduates to sit for
the licensure examination administered by
state boards of nursing which establishes them
as registered nurses. The nursing program at
Bloomsburg is not only a conduit for further
education but also for lifelong learning activities.
In accordance with the Professional Nursing Law (PL. 317, No. 69, Jan. 1, 1986) a felonious act prohibits a person from obtaining
licensure in Pennsylvania. In compliance with
this legislation, the following guidelines are
enforced by The Pennsylvania State Board of
Nursing.
A license or certificate shall not be issued
to an applicant who has been:
1. Convicted* of a felonious act prohibited by the act of April 14, 1972, (PL.
233, No. 64) known as The Controlled
Substance, Drug, Device, and Cosmetic Act,

year.
A student who does not meet the identified
requirements for departmental academic good
standing is required to satisfy the identified
deficiencies by repeating the course before
further progress in the nursing program can
be attempted.
A student may repeat nursing courses only
once. The university policy on the repetition
of academic courses applies to the Department
of Nursing.
The department reserves
the right
and the
responsibility to develop procedural guidelines
for the implementation of this academic
good
standing policy.
Recommendations concerning academic
progression and retention are made to the
Department of Nursing chairperson by the Student Admission, Progression, and Retention
Committee. Based on these recommendations,
students who do not attain academic good
standing after one academic period on probation will be required to take a departmental
leave of absence.
Departmental Academic Probation
Students who fail to meet the requirements
of the policy for departmental academic good
standing are evaluated by the Committee on
Student Admission, Progression, and Retention and are immediately placed on departmental academic probation.
The department chairperson is responsible
for notifying students who have been placed
on probationary status.
Students must satisfy any identified academic deficiencies by repeating the course (s) before they can attempt any further progress in
the nursing program.
Nursing courses may only be repeated once.
University' policy that pertains to the repetition
of academic courses applies to the Department
of Nursing.
A student who does not attain academic
good standing after one academic period on
probation will be required to take a departmental academic leave of absence.
Departmental Academic Leave of
Absence
A student who does not maintain departmental good standing requirements after one
semester on probation or a total of three semesters on probation is automatically required
to take a leave of absence from the department.
The department chairperson notifies students of such actions.
A student on a departmental academic
leave of absence is ineligible to attend any
course offered by the Department of Nursing.
When on departmental academic leave, a position will be guaranteed for the student for
no more than one calendar year. If at the end
of one calendar year the student is not ready
to return from departmental academic leave
of absence, that student will be considered to
be withdrawn from the program.
A student seeking reinstatement from a
departmental academic leave of absence must
do so in accordance with the departmental
transfer policy.

Entrance Standards and Notification
Procedures
The university does not prescribe fixed secondary school course requirements for admission but does, however, strongly encourage all
students to take a college preparatory program
in secondary school. Admission to Bloomsburg
University is based on an applicant's academic
and personal qualifications. Decisions are
reached without regard to race, color, creed,
national origin, sex or disability. Acceptance

Act 101 and Educational Opportunity
Programs
These programs equalize educational opportunity for students regardless of their economic background or status. Anyone with a
secondary school diploma or certificate of
equivalency is eligible to apply for admission
to these programs. Nontraditional criteria are
applied in estimating the potential success of
an applicant when it appears that the environmental background may have adversely affected grades and/or standardized test scores. The
Director of Admissions may require an applicant for these programs to file supplementary
information as needed for proper consideration.
Most new students are expected to particisummer program prior to the first
semester of their attendance, where special
assistance in tutoring and counseling is given
to address specific academic, financial, and
social needs. Permission to be exempted from
this requirement can only be granted by the
pate in a
director of these programs.
Send inquiries to the Director of ACT 101/

University Scholars
The
Program provides
a special academic experience for a preselected group of freshmen and sophomores. The
program offers challenge for students who
have distinguished themselves educationally,
have superior intellectual ability, set high standards for themselves, and who plan to seriously pursue a quality college education.
The scholars curriculum fosters the growth
of intellectual independence, creativity, and
initiative; enhance analytical thinking and
problem-solving abilities; augment interpretative abilities
and communication
skills;
and
develop a sense of "common bonding." Students get a variety of courses and course designs including symposia, forums, independent
and experiential study that require extensive reading, writing, and in-depth study
and research. The scholars courses are taught
study,
by university faculty designated because of distinguished scholarship, outstanding perfor-
mance
as teachers,
and
ability to relate to stu-
dents.
The scholars program requires the completion of 24 semester hours of general education
credit in designated scholars courses within the
two academic years. The remainder of
courses in these years is selected from regular
course offerings to satisfy major, minor, and
other general education requirements. Scholars courses, while they satisfy general education requirements, are specially designed to
emphasize the integration of interdisciplinary
knowledge, concepts, and skills.
Although university scholars have many
special programs and services, they also are
fully integrated into the mainstream of the
campus community to enjoy the same dimensions of university life that other students experience including residence hall living, a wide
array of cultural activities, campus leadership
opportunities, sports events, and other co-curricular programs.
Scholars program eligibility is based upon
high school achievement, a ranking in the top
20 percent of the graduation class, and above
average standarized test results. Once eligible,
high school seniors or graduates are selected
on the basis of their application, essay, reference letters, and interview. Although high academic achievement provides eligibility, per-

in their major discipline to continue in enhanced academic programs during their final
two years.
Transfer Students
An applicant who previously attended or at
the time of application is enrolled in another
college or university is a transfer applicant.
Transfer admission occurs three times during
the year: fall, spring and summer. Applications
for the fall semester and summer sessions
should be complete and on file in the Admissions Office prior to March 15. Applications
for the spring semester must be complete and
on file by Oct. 15. Nursing candidates for the
fall semester must have completed applications
on file by January 15 and by September 1 for
Spring admission.
Requirements necessary to make a file complete for a transfer candidate include: an official secondary school transcript or a GED
(General Equivalency Diploma); official tranfrom all postsecondary schools attend-
scripts
ed; and the $25 application fee. Scholastic
Assessment Test (SAT) or American College
Test (ACT) results must be submitted if the
applicant has not completed 24 or more credits at a postsecondary institution. Official college transcripts from each school attended
should be sent to the Director of Admissions
regardless of whether or not credit was earned
at the other institution (s).
A transfer student may be considered for
admission if certified as holding good stand-
ing academically and otherwise in the college
attended and having an overall Quality
Point Average (QPA) of 2.0 or better on a 4.0
system.
The degree programs in adult health, nursing or education require students to have a
last
32
minimum cumulative QPA of 2.50 for entrance
to the major.
Transfer applicants who have completed 30
semester hours at an institution of higher education must select a major upon entering the
university. They may not enter as undeclared
majors.
Credits are deemed transferable if earned
with a grade of C (2.0/4.0) or above at an institution that is accredited by the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Schools/Commission on Higher Education or its regional equivalent providing Bloomsburg University has
equivalent courses. Students are informed of
the tentative number of credits that may be
transferred in their offer of admission letter.
Official transfer evaluations are completed after the student pays the advanced deposits.
These transfer credit evaluations are then reviewed by the department chairperson who
renders final approval of the evaluation. A
maximum of 64 credits may be transferred
from an regionally-accredited two-year college.
Review of transfer applications is done on
a rolling basis, v^dth the exception of nursing
applicants whose files are reviewed by the Student Admission, Progression, and Retention
Committee of the School of Health Sciences.
An orientation for transfer students is held
prior to their enrollment. Students are notified by the Orientation Office concerning specific information.
Readmission
Students failing to register for the next semester must apply for readmission. Nondegree students may continue to register without readmission provided their next registration is within four semesters of their last enrollment. It is suggested that students apply
early for readmission.
Readmitted students are responsible for the
graduation requirements and academic policies that exist at the time of their reentrance.
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 their application for readmission.
Readmitted students who were formally dismissed for academic deficiency have two final
grading periods in which to regain minimum
academic progress or good standing. If dis-
Admission
missed the second time, these students may not
attend the university for additional degree or
nondegree credit
study.
Temporary Withdrawal/
Leave of Absence
A student may request a
temporary with-
drawal for a specified period by securing the
appropriate forms at the Office of the Registrar. To be eligible for a temporary withdrawal, the student must submit completed forms
to the Office of Admissions for processing. A
student must be in academic good standing or
making minimal progress toward good standing and must request the temporary withdrawal prior to the registration date of the intended period of absence.
A student on a temporary withdrawal is assured a place in the semester designated for
return provided the instructions that are part
of the temporary withdrawal agreement are
fulfilled, and advance deposits are submitted
at the time designated by the Director of Admissions.
A student who returns from a temporary
withdrawal of a calendar year or less in duration is responsible for the graduation requirements and academic policies that applied at
the time the temporary withdrawal was requested. A student who returns from a temporary
withdrawal of more than one calendar year
duration must satisfy the graduation requirements and academic policies which exist at the
time of return and is then classified as a readmitted student.
Second Baccalaureate Degree
Application materials and instructions for
obtaining a second bachelor's degree at
Bloomsburg University may be secured from
the Office of Admissions. There is an application fee of $25. To qualify, an applicant must
hold a bachelor's degree from an regionallyaccredited college or university.
This second degree track requires a student
to earn a minimum of 30 semester hours in
undergraduate courses while in residence at
the university. All curriculum requirements for
the second degree must be satisfied and free
elective credit taken, if necessary, to complete
the minimum of 30 semester hours.
If there is a replication of a required
course (s) in the two baccalaureate programs,
the course (s) cannot be applied as part of the
30-semester-hour requirement for completion
of the second degree.
The applicant must provide the department

pursue, with a copy of their official college transcript and a second degree application form.
Pending a favorable review of the applicant's
academic credentials, the chairperson signs the
application and forwards it and the official
transcript to the Admissions Office.
International Students
Residents of foreign countries should iniapplication well in advance of the
semester they plan to enroll. Non-U.S. citizens
who are not resident aliens need to submit a
special application for international students.
This application may be obtained by writing

Campus Visits
Group information sessions are held regularly on campus. Arrangements can be made
to attend a
group information session by con-
tacting the Office of Admissions at (717) 389-
4316. The campus Visitors Center is located
in the lobby of Waller Administration Building and is open weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
and weekends, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Four Saturday open house programs are
held in October, November, February and April
in Mitrani Hall, Haas Center for the Arts, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Open House programs
consist of a general meeting with admissions
staff and administrative personnel, a questionand-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 information session because
prospective students have the opportunity to
meet directiy with members of the university
,
faculty.
Off-campus Visits
Each
year, representatives
from the Office
of Admissions visit secondary schools and community colleges throughout Pennsylvania and
in neighboring states. They also participate in
approximately 100 college night/ career day
programs including National College Fair pro-
grams
in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh,
and New

Financial Aid

programs are available
Bloomsburg University. These
include scholarships, grants, loans and student
employment.
Undergraduate, graduate, part-time and
transfer students from every income bracket
may be eligible for some type of financial aid
student employment, grants, scholarships
or low-interest loans. By evaluating the financial aid sources and developing a sound financial plan, each student will have the monetary
resources needed while minimizing potential

debt burden.
Commonly used terms
The Hnancial aid package is composed of a
combination of a grant, a loan and/or campus work study. Students receive an award letter that outiines the types of financial aid which
they will receive for the following year.
Financial need is the difference between the
cost of attending college and the amount the
needs analysis service calculates that a family
can contribute to the cost of the student's education.
34
Financial Aid
Student expense budget is the total cost of
attending college and is used to determine
each student's financial need. It depends upon
whether students live at home, in a campus
residence hall or off campus.
Grants are financial aici awards that students
do not have to repay.
PHEAA (Pennsylvania Higher Education
Assistance Agency) administers grant and loan
programs to residents of Pennsylvania.
Pell Grants are federal grants of approximately $200 to $2,340. They are not repaid.
Scholarships are grants awarded on the
basis of grades or other achievements rather
than financial need.
Supplemental Educational Opp rtunity
Grants (SEOG) provides federal aid to students
who demonstrate an exceptional financial
need. It supplements other forms of financial
aid, and it is not repaid.
Loans are a form of financial aid that students must repay.
Lenders are participating commercial
banks, federal and state savings and loan associations or credit unions that loan money to
students. PHEAA is also considered a lender.
Student loans in states other than Pennsylvania are made by similar institutions.
Interest is the annual fee charged for using
loan money.
A Perkins Loan is made at a 5 percent annual interest rate. There are no interest charges while the student is in college.
Stafford Loans must be repaid, and they
carry a 7-9 percent interest rate. An origination fee and insurance premium of approximately 4 percent are deducted from the total
amount of each loan to help defray some of
the interest the federal government pays during the student's undergraduate years.
Work-study awards are an authorization to
work but do not guarantee employment.
Stu-
dents are responsible for finding their own
campus jobs. The Financial Aid Office maintains a "placement" bulletin board outside
Room 19, Ben Franklin Hall where available
jobs are posted. Students must reapply each
academic year/summer to renew their employment.

difference between the cost of attending
Bloomsburg University and what the student
and/or family can contribute as calculated by
a financial aid formula that is approved by the
U.S. Department of Education.
When estimating how much students and
their families may be able to contribute, a need

Transfer students must submit to the Financial Aid Office an official Financial Aid Transcript that documents their financial aid record
at all previous institutions attended. Financial
aid does not automatically follow students
when they transfer from one college to another, and no aid will be processed until this in-
formation is received.

College Work-Study Program are available to
full-time post-baccalaureate and graduate students. However, no student may have a State
or College Work-Study job on campus and a
graduate assistantship at the same time.
Non-degree students who are enrolled in
non-degree certificate programs that exceed
24 credits in length may be eligible for financial aid. Application procedures are the same
as those for degree students. Non-degree students who are not enrolled in a certificate program that exceeds 24 credits in length are ineligible for aid.
In addition to the costs for tuition, fees,
students will incur costs for
books, supplies, transportation, personal and
room and board,
miscellaneous expenses. Bloomsburg University expects that these annual expenses will be
approximately $2,200.
These estimated costs for 1994-1995 are
subject to change without notice and are dependent upon the action of the Board of Governors of the Pennsylvania State System of
Higher Education and the Bloomsburg University Council of Trustees.
Eligibility
All applicants for financial aid at
Blooms-
burg University must submit either the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid or the
Federal Renewal Application. Some students
also wdll be requested to complete the PHEAA
Status Notice, which will be mailed to the student by PHEAA. Eligibility for all financial aid
programs at Bloomsburg is determined on the
basis of the information submitted on these
forms. There is no fee to process these applications.
Students must either submit verification
that they have registered with the Selective
Service Commission or sign a statement certifying that they are not required to register.
Students must be citizens or permanent
residents of the United States. Students in the
United States on Fl or F2 student visas are not
eligible for federal aid.
Satisfactory progress must be maintained by
students to remain eligible for financial aid.
Students are urged to become familiar with the
university's satisfactory progress policy.
all
Satisfactory Progress
Students must earn at least 24 credits in a
12-month period with a required grade point
average. Summer freshmen, who are enrolled
for less than 12 credits during the summer, are
required to earn 21 credits during their freshman year. Students enrolled full-time for only
one semester are expected to earn at least 12
credits. Part-time students and graduate students must earn credit hours as follows:
• 1 to 8 credit hours
half of all the
credit hours attempted must be
earned or
• 9 or more credit hours
two-thirds of
all credit hours attempted must be
earned.
Students must also meet the qualitative
measures of progress shown in the chart below. Students are urged to review the withdrawal and repeat policies. Exceeding the maximum number of allowable repeats and/or
withdrawals will adversely affect the student's
ability to meet satisfactory progress standards
for financial aid purposes.

An incomplete grade, a failing grade, or a
withdrawal from a course will count as zero

be counted toward the minimum satisfactory
progress standard if credits were actually
earned. A repeat of a "D" grade will not be
counted as credits earned in two different semesters.
Students are expected to complete their
degree or certificate within a maximum time
frame that is no longer than 150 percent of
the published length of the program. For example, a full-time undergraduate student who
is enrolled in a program that would normally
take eight semesters to complete would be required to complete the program within 1 2 semesters unless extraordinary circumstances
exist. The total semesters for completion of a
program of study for a part-time student will
be extended proportionally.
Students enrolled in a non-degree program
must also meet satisfactory progress standards
to obtain financial aid in
subsequent semes-
ters.

Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grants (SEOG) are offered to students of exceptional financial need who would not otherwise be able to continue their education. Students are eligible to apply for this federal program if they have been accepted or are currendy enrolled as full-time degree students.
Grants range from $200 to $1,000.
To apply for these grants, students must
complete either the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or the Federal Renewal Application and submit it to PHEAA no later than

The
Financial Aid Office monitors satisfac-
tory progress each semester. Students are notified that aid is being canceled if the number
of credits earned during the fall, spring and
summer semesters does not meet satisfactory
progress requirements.
Students who have been academically dismissed for at least one year will be considered
making satisfactory progress for financial aid
purposes upon their reinstatement to the university.
Any Bloomsburg student whose
aid has

Grants
Grants are available to undergraduates

approximately $2,340 in 1995-1996. The Pell
Grant application deadline is May 1, 1996.
Pennsylvania State Grants are designed for
full-time and part-time (at least six credits per
semester) undergraduate students who are
residents of Pennsylvania and who are enrolled
in a degree program.
These grants range from approximately
$100 to $2,600 per year. To apply, students
must use either the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or the Federal Renewal Af>plication. Some students also will be required
to complete the PHEIAA Status Notice, which
will be mailed to the student by PHEAA. The
deadline for applications is May 1, 1995.
To remain eligible, students must maintain
satisfactory progress and plan to complete their
bachelor's degree within four years or eight
semesters. Students may receive a PHEAA
Grant for enrollment during the summer; however, a separate summer application is required. The summer semester counts as one
of the maximum eight semesters of eligibility.

Perkins Loan recipients must demonstrate
a financial need and be enrolled or accepted
as degree students. These federal loans range
from $200 to $2,000 per academic year and are
usually packaged with other forms of aid, such
as grants and work study. Students who are
interested in a Perkins Loan for the summer
and who have submitted either the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or the Federal Renewal Application, should schedule an
appointment between March 16 and April 22
with the university's Director of Financial Aid.
A Perkins Loan carries a 5 percent simple
interest. Repayment starts nine months after
students conclude their education.
There are provisions whereby students may
be eligible to have the loan canceled over a
five-year period; i.e., students who work with
the disabled individuals or within a geographic area that is classified by the U.S. Department
of Education as a poverty area.
Students must submit either the Free Ap>plication for Federal Student Aid or the Federal Renewal Application to PHEAA no later
than March 15.
Stafford Loans combine two loans: the subsidized Stafford Loan and the unsubsidized
Stafford Loan.
An subsidized Stafford Loan is one on
which the federal government pays the interest while the
student (borrower)
is
in college.
Eligibility for a subsidized Stafford
Loan
is
based on family income and financial need
established by standards set by the federal government.
A unsubsidized Stafford Loan is one on
which the student (borrower) is responsible for
payment of the interest during the in-college
period.
Students can apply for a Stafford Loan from
a participating lender in or
near their home community at least 60 days
before the date the funds will be needed. Application for loans can be made any time of

interest rates.
In addition to the interest charges, students
must pay an "origination fee" and "insurance
premium" of approximately 4 percent of the
amount of the loan. The lender deducts this
amount from the value of the loan.
Repayment begins when students either
graduate, withdraw or enroll less than half-time
(5 credits or less) and have used the allowable
grace period - usually six consecutive months.
The monthly repayment amount is set by
mutual agreement of the lender and the student. However, the monthly payment amount
must be large enough to pay the full loan debt
within the 10-year repayment limit. The required minimum monthly payment is $50.
Many students will have payments of more than
$50 per month; others will repay their loan
before the 10-year limit.
Persons who borrow money through a loan
program assume responsibility for repaying the
loan and must notify the lender immediately
if circumstances arise that make it difficult to
meet
this
commitment.
Students and their families are entitled to
receive a copy of the completed promissory
note from the lender. They may also pay the
balance of the loan, plus any interest due, early and without a penalty.
Repayment may be deferred up to three
years while on active duty with the Peace Corps,
or in comparable volunteer programs. Deferments are considered for attendance in "approved" vocational rehabilitation programs,
professional internships and disability of the
student or a spouse in certain circumstances.
During such deferments, the federal government continues interest payments if the loan
previously qualified for interest subsidy benefits.
Students are obligated to repay the
full
amount of the loan even if they do not graduate. If, when repayment begins, students are
unable to meet the repayment schedule, i.e.,
inability to find employment, they may apply
to the lender for forbearance to stop payments
temporarily or to make smaller payments than
scheduled.
Persons borrowing must notify the lender
when any of the following conditions arise be-

fore the loan is repaid: graduation, withdrawal from college, attendance is less than half-
time (5 credits or
less),
change of name or
address, transfer to another school or other
changes that may affect students' eligibility for
deferred payments.
The Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) is available to parents of dependent undergraduate students who want to borrow funds to help pay for educational costs.
The maximum amount parents may borrow is
the difference between cost minus other aid.
Interest rates vary but will not exceed 9 percent. Repayment of both the principal and the
interest begins within 60 days after the disbursement of the loan. Parents can acquire
the appropriate loan applications from their
local lending institutions.

CertiHcation
—
Major
Each student must complete a
major field of study for graduation. A major
field of study is one of the approved degree
programs prescribed by the major department
or the college in which the student is enrolled.
The specific course requirements for the options within each of the degree programs leading to the degrees are described in the catalog.
Minor
— A minor
field of study consists of
of 18 hours, at least 15 of which
must be in the department offering the minor.
While courses counting toward a minor may
also fulfill general education or career concentration requirements, minor courses may not
be in a student's major discipline and/or certification area. A minor offered in an academic discipline may have multiple advisement
options. A student may choose to pursue minors in more than one academic discipline.

Credit for Military Experience
Bloomsburg University may award credit for educational experiences of students earned while
serving in the armed forces of the United
States. The registrar makes a recommendation to the departmental chairperson of the
student's major based upon the American
Council on Education's Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed
Forces. Recommendations are made provided the credit applies to the student's degree

Student Course Requirements and
Progress Information
Within the first week of classes each semesteaching faculty must distribute in writing
at least the following information: procedures
for determining each letter grade, any relationship of class attendance to the course, any other course requirements, weighted average of
requirements for grade computation, and procedures for making up tests or other work
missed through excused absence.
Faculty may post student grades providing
a student has given written permission; the
grades must not identify the student. Using
social security numbers or parts of social security numbers is illegal. If grades are posted,
each student should be given unique identifier which is not consistent to student names listter,
ed
in alphabetical order.
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 of 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.
Recording Grades
At the end of a semester or summer session,
the final grade for each course is recorded on
the student's permanent record; a copy of the
semester's grades is sent to the student's home
address or another address designated by the
student. Midsemester grades of D and E are
reported to degree students with 32 and fewer
semester hours earned. These grades are not
permanendy recorded.

I
Incomplete is a temporary grade given only when an instructor believes a student
has been unable to complete course requirements due to circumstances beyond his/her
control. Failure of a student to take the final
examination or complete other course requirements without prior arrangement with the instructor for a legitimate excuse is not justification for a grade of I.
When an instructor submits a grade of I to
the registrar, it must be accompanied by a formal, written plan for the student to complete
the course requirements and the appropriate
letter grade that would be assigned if the plan
were not completed by the student in the time
specified. The plan for the student to complete
the course requirements shall be prepared by
the instructor with the acceptance of the student. Unless specifically stated in the written
plan to the contrary, it is assumed that work
will be completed prior to the end of the next
regular semester. When the plan has been completed by the student, the instructor will recalculate the grade to be assigned for the course
and submit this new grade to the registrar according to established procedures.
A request for an extension of time to complete course requirements must be initiated by
the student prior to the deadline of the plan
on file in the Office of the Registrar. The student must present suitable documentation to
the instructor indicating that circumstances
above and beyond her/his control persist or
new circumstances of that nature have developed. An extension of time will be granted only
upon approval of the instructor and the dean
of the appropriate college.

the same as those for the grade of I. The instructor must submit the grade of R to the registrar along with the formal plan for completion of the research and the grade to be assigned to the student if the research is not completed satisfactorily in the time period stipulated. The plan for the student to complete
the research shall be prepared by the instructor with the acceptance of the student. Unless
specifically stated in the written plan to the
contrary, it is assumed that the work will be
completed prior to the end of the next regular semester. When the student has completed
the plan, the instructor shall recalculate the
grade to be assigned for the course and submit this new grade to the registrar according
to established procedures.

Quality Points
Quality point values are assigned as follows:
Grade Quality Value Points
A

B
3
C

D

E
See note on pending revisions above.
Quality Point Average (QPA)
The Quality Point Average (QPA) is computed from the academic record of courses
taken at Bloomsburg University in which
grades of A through E were earned. The computation is executed by multiplying the number of semester hours for each course by the
number of quality points for the grade in the
course and adding the products, then dividing the sum obtained in the first step by the
total number of semester hours represented
by the courses.
A "semester QPA" is computed by including only the courses of a single semester. The
"cumulative QPA" is computed by including all
courses taken to date at Bloomsburg University. If a course is successfully repeated at another regionally accredited institution of higher
education, the credits for a grade of D or E
and the quality points for the D at Bloomsburg
are deleted from the computation.
Change of Grade
After a grade of A through E has been reported to the Registrar's Office, it may be
changed only through the grievance process,
to change a temporary grade to a final grade,
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 a grade of I
and R is changed, only the approval of the
department chairperson is required.
Course Repeat Policy
A maximum of four courses
(not more than
14 semester hours) in which grades of D or E
have been recorded may be repeated. The initial grade remains on the transcript and is part
of the student's permanent record. Quality
points are awarded for the grade of the repeated course only. The grade of the repeated
course is part of the permanent record and is
used to calculate the student's quality point
average. Multiple repeats of the same course
are considered as one repeat. A course taken
at the university in which a grade of D or E has
been earned and repeated at another accredited institution of higher education is included in the permitted maximum number of repeats.

vice president for student life. At the initiative of either the applicant or the Academic
Review Board, the student's adviser may be
invited to participate as a voting member in
the consideration of the case.
In its evaluation of a petition for reinstatement, the 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

Procedures
Bloomsburg University students are expected to be honest in all their academic work; this
means they will not engage in any of the following acts:
• Cheating on examinations including nonauthorized use of books or notes, use of crib
sheets, copying from other student's papers,
exchanging information with another student orally or by signals, obtaining a copy
of the examination illegally, and other similar activities.
Plagiarism in term papers, themes, essays,
reports, take-home examinations, etc. (To
plagiarize is to steal or use without acknowledgment the ideas, words, formulas, computer programs, etc. of another person.)
• Falsificadons including forging signatures,
altering answers after they have been graded, insertion of answers after the fact, erasure of a grader's marking, etc.
A student found guilty of academic dishonesty may be subjected to a full range of penal•
ties
from reprimand
to expulsion
from the
university.
Diagnostic Testing Program Policy
This policy applies to testing that is not a
part of the admissions procedure or course
requirements. The coordinator of academic
advisement uses diagnostic test results to assist
with course placement.
Students will be selected for diagnostic testing based upon their predicted freshman year
grade point average or performance in courses at Bloomsburg University. A predicted freshman year QPA is calculated for each new freshman at the time of application to the university. New students with a predicted QPA less than
2.5 will be given diagnostic test(s). Students
whose college QPA falls below 2.0 will be considered for diagnostic testing based upon their
circumstances. The specific area(s) of diagnostic testing will be determined by the pattern of
SAT scores and either high school or college
achievement. Students selectively low in one
of the admission testing areas (e.g., below SAT
math of 450 or SAT verbal of 430) will have
diagnostic testing in areas which are selectively

Permission to enter the new area of study
may require the written approval of the department chairperson in which it is offered. In this
case, approval may depend upon such factors
as overall
grade point average, available space,
and recommendations from departmental
nymity assured.
Depending on the results of the review of
the record and the diagnostic evaluation, an
individual program may be provided.
If a student is identified and placed in a
developmental course (s), the course (s) is con-
sidered a prerequisite before additional courses for credit can be taken in the corresponding area. Each student will be provided with a
letter indicating course placement or the recommended resources available to assist them,
such as tutorial services, tutorial labs, and the
College Study Skills courses. Such developmental programs will be provided for a maximum
of students within the budgetary limits of the
university.

All students living in
William W. Scran ton Commons has a seatng capacity of 1,265. A variety of dining ser-
campus residence halls
are required to purchase a meal plan. Students
who
live
off-campus or in the Montgomery
Place Apartments hav the option of purchasing a meal plan at the Business Office in Waller
Administration Building.
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 at any food facility.
Each time a student uses flex dollars, the expenditure is subtracted from the balance of the
student's flex account. Students living in the
residence halls can add to their flex account
increments of $25. Students living off-campus and in the Montgomery Place Apartments
can purchase flex dollars at the Business Office in $25 increments once they have made
an initial minimum deposit of $100 into their

an effort to provide improved services for students, the Health Center announces any
changes in the school newspaper and provides

Orientation
Orientation involves educating students with
regard to academic, personal and social issues
important for student achievement and success.
The goal is to begin to expose students to a wellbalanced university experience. Orientation
also provides for initial contacts with faculty in
the academic advisement process thorugh the
scheduling of classes and familiarizes students
wdth university policies, procedures and practices. Social activities are planned so that students can begin to meet people and form friendships. Upperclass students are involved in the
entire orientation process to serve as role models and resource persons for new students.
Through programs and meetings, every effort
is made to ensure a successful transition for
freshmen and transfer students.
The university requires a comprehensive
orientation program for all newly-admitted degree students. Freshmen and transfer students
beginning classes in the fall semester participate
in a two part orientation. Each student is invited to campus for one day in July to take care
of academic matters such as scheduling and
advising. In addition, students receive a cam-

named for Dr. Judson P. Welsh who served as
Bloomsburg's sixth principal (president) from

athletic
1890-1906. Upon his resignation to become
vice-president at Pennsylvania State College
(now Penn State University), the trustees noted that under Welsh's sixteen years the school
had "been elevated in moral tone, advanced
and financially and increased in
numbers in as great a ratio as under any former
principalship." A Bloomsburg area native,
Welch was responsible for having the first gymnasium built on campus.

Worid War I Memorial (1919)
Originally entitled the
War Hero Memori-
Pinery of the Class of 1919, the memorial
lies on the front lawn, north of Carver Hall.
Pine trees honoring each of fifteen Bloomsburg State Normal School students who died
in World War I were planted in 1919; on Decal
oration Day (now more commonly called Memorial Day), May 30, 1922, a boulder marker
with a bronze plaque naming the fallen was
placed and dedicated. With the construction
of Schuykill Residence Hall in the early 1960's
some pine trees were necessarily removed, leaving only ten.
Pergola (1916)
A dictionary definition of pergola is "a tunnel-shaped structure of latticework upon which
climbing plants are grown." Given to the university by the class of 1916, the pergola situated just north of Montour Hall served as the
locale for outdoor pageants (including May
Day and Ivy Day celebrations) and plays. This
was at a time when a grove and lagoon embraced the structure and plenty of space existed for rows of spectator seating.

Goals and Objectives
The programs in allied

compass those health areas in which individuals support, aid 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 post-
graduate education in health care. Central to
most allied health programs, especially the clinical portion, is satisfactory completion of the
clinicail
standards, often referred to as the Es-
sentials.
These standards establish requirements
related to curriculum, personnel, financing,
resources,
and records.
Program Description
At Bloomsburg University the preparatory
programs in physical therapy, occupational
therapy, pharmacy, and cytotechnology usualspan two to four years. Student then transfer to another institution for their clinical training and, upon completion of the program,
earn a baccalaureate or master's degree.
Bloomsburg University does not award specific degrees in these areas.

occupational therapy, or cytotechnology is enhanced by an affiliation with Thomas Jefferson University's College of Allied
Health Sciences. This agreement facilitates the
transfer of students who have completed a
minimum of two years preparatory work at
Bloomsburg into upper-division baccalaureate
and master's programs at Thomas Jefferson
University. This "2 plus 2" or "2 plus 3" arrangement couples an educational experience at a
rural university with advanced clinical training
at a major medical center in Philadelphia. Although the "2 plus 2" arrangement remains in
place for most allied health programs, the arrangement for physical therapy is "2 plus 3"
and culminates in a master's degree from Thomas Jefferson University.
It is important to note that many physical
therapy programs are entered after the student
has received a baccalaureate degree, and the
postbaccalaureate program leads to a master's
degree.

Bloomsburg University is an active participant in the PACE (Plan A College Education)
program sponsored by Thomas Jefferson University's College of Allied Health Sciences.
PACE is an advanced early admission program
for academically talented secondary school
seniors who wish to matriculate to Thomas Jefferson University after attending an accredited university for, at least, the first two years.
All colleges of pharmacy in the United
States offering the Bachelor of Science in pharmacy require five years of college education
for the completion of degree requirements.
The five year curriculum is usually divided into
two years of pre-pharmacy education and three
years of professional pharmacy education.
Thus it is a "2 plus 3"program. Students who

Bachelor of Arts in Art
A total of 39 semester hours is required for
a major in either art history or art studio.
Goals and Objectives
The study of art requires both an inner desire

Since art is a reflection of society, a study of
the history of art is needed to place art of the
past and present in the context of our lives.
This program addresses the commonality of
visual expression among diverse cultures and

Art professors are committed to excellence in
teaching as well as actively involved in their own
nationalities.
The studio is used as a means of giving the
student a chance to develop skills through
mediums of visual expression that will lead to
statements of personal worth. Competency is
expected within the electronic media as well
means for students to fully
explore their expressive desires. Through explorations in the various arts, the student
should understand the richness of the working process as a framework for the end product. In addition to traditional academic study,

Goals and Objectives
The Bachelor of Science program
in biolo-
gy provides a rigorous background in biology,
chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The program meets the needs of students who plan to
enter graduate studies, the medical field, 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 pro-
gram to their specific
and career objectives.

backgrounds,
Students pursuing either degree program
elect an option in microbiology. The required courses in microbiology specified under the option are identical for both programs
of study.

Goals and Objectives
The Department of Developmental Instruction provides developmental, study skills cours-
and other supportive
services that are instudents in making the transition from high school to college. These courses and services help students to improve basic
skills (reading, writing, mathematics) All students, regardless of their current academic
program or prior academic performance, may
enroll in any courses offered by the departes

.
ment.
The goals of developmental
to assist in the successful
students
and
their
instruction are
performance of
all
smooth integration into the
higher education process. The philosophy of
Developmental Instruction is based on the
principles of prevention of problems and ded-
meeting individual needs. The department offers a full range of academic, advi-
ication to
sory,
and counseling services to students. Seropen to non-program students
vices also are
to take advantage of developmental
reading, writing, or mathematics courses/labs
conducted by faculty members and student
tutors. The department has also established
an experimental course in English as a second
language.
The Reading Lab, located in Room 310 of
Bakeless Center, offers individualized instruction in understanding textbooks and learning
strategies for most courses on campus. Group
instruction also is provided for selected courses based on student enrollment in the program. Workshops on test-taking strategies and
mini-courses on speed reading are scheduled
periodically.

A developmental writing course is available
any university student as a primer to enter-
ing the required English courses. Students who
do not need a full semester of instruction may
an individualized instruction program
through the Act 101/EOP Writing Center in
Bakeless Center for the Humanities, Room 309.
The purpose of developmental mathematics is to improve mathematical skills necessary
for the successful completion of college-level
courses. The mathematics lab, located in 309
Bakeless Center for the Humanities, also offers workshops on topics such as Building SelfConfidence in Mathematics and tutorial assisestablish
tance for math classes offered at the university, especially College Algebra and Math Thinking. Students may use a variety of instructional materials including individualized learning
programs, supplementary texts, audio tapes,
microcomputers, and computer software (for
computational skills, geometry, and algebra)
Based upon incoming academic credentials,
students may be required to take diagnostic
examinations for possible placement in devel-
opmental courses.

Additional Course Requirements
In addition to the above requirements, all
candidates must satisfy the General Education
requirements of Bloomsburg University and
the specific requirements for the B.A. degree
in either physic or mathematics. Students
should consult the program coordinator each
semester as they plan their schedules. With
careful planning, it is possible to satisfy all of
the requirements indicated during the student's three-year residence at Bloomsburg
University
To enter the program, individuals need only
apply and be accepted for admission to
Bloomsburg University. However, applicants
should be aware that any engineering program
requires the application of strong mathematical and problem-solving skills. It is expected
that the student's high school mathematics
background
is
sufficient for
Students wishing to complete their studies

The Pennsylvania State University prior to entering this cooperative program at
Bloomsburg University will be considered readmission candidates and must meet additional enrollment criteria for readmission to The
Pennsylvania State University.
Students should indicate a desire to follow
this program of study at the time of admission
to Bloomsburg University in order to insure
sufficient time to complete all of the required
courses. Notification should be made to the
director of academic advisement who, in turn,
will notify the coordinator of the Engineering
and Liberal Arts Program. The coordinator will
assign each student an academic adviser who
is a member of the Pre-Engineering Advisory
Committee. Students should consult both their
advisers and the coordinator for assistance in

Introductory history courses provide the
basic factual information
which places nation-
and international events in their proper setting. Advanced courses develop interpretive
and analytical abilities as well as those oral and
written skills applied to historical inquiry and
al
the day-to-day problem-solving situations confronted by the educated student. The ability
to complete research and work independentiy
on specialized research projects and the maturity associated with independent inquiry are
essential ingredients of advanced study. Cur-
and social issues are handled withacademic program which features
traditional topical and/or time periods as well
as issue-oriented courses which deal with current political
in a flexible
rent events. Diverse course offerings allow students the opportunity to study nations whose
and political goals differ from
own. The examination of earlier cultures,
culture, values,
their
time periods, and emerging nations allow the
student to place the evolution of civilization
in a proper historical context.
Lastly, history is among the humanities.
Like a great painting, a piece of music or a
gorgeous sunset, history is viewed as something
that enriches one's life and has an existence
separate from the practical skills and professional preparation associated with the discipline.

Goals and Objectives
The programs in allied
health sciences en-
compass those health areas in which individuals support, aid, 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 Es-

requirements may be found under the section
on Admission. Assistance with the admission
application to the clinical year phase is offered
by the university, but admission to that phase,
as well as fees, are determined solely by the
institution
where the clinical work is done. The
university cannot guarantee that a student will
be accepted for the clinical education portion
of the program. In general, students with the
highest academic achievement, who interview
well, and have a history of volunteer work are
given priority.
Students who successfully complete all of
the requirements and the clinical year earn a
Bachelor of Science degree. All clinical year
graduates become eligible to take the two certification examinations for medical technologists. Upon successfully completing one or
both of these examinations, the student is
awarded a certificate of registry and the designation Medical Technologist (M.T.) (ASCP) or

program while simultaneously pursuing a de-

ROTC incurring no military obligation. Opportunities also exist for attending Airborne, Air
Assault,
and Northern Warfare Schools.
Army ROTC
provides a four-year curricu-
both men and women regardless
of academic major or area of study. All equipment, clothing and books are provided free of
lum open
to
charge. The program is divided into two parts,
the Basic Course and the Advanced Course.
The Basic Course consists of four courses given during the freshman and sophomore years.
During this period, classes include such subjects as military history and organization, traditions, leadership development, time manage-
ment and adventure training.
The Advanced Course consists of four
courses given during the junior and senior
years. This portion of the
trates
on
curriculum concen-
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
re-
sponsible decisions.
Two, three, and four year academic scholarships are available. Benefits include full tu-
and
the first two years of ROTC and are eligible to
enter direcdy into the Advanced Course. There
are a variety of options available to qualify students for the Advanced Course who did not
take ROTC their first two years. Students belonging to the Army Reserve or National Guard
are also eligible for the Simultaneous Membership Program.
Army ROTC also offers a ranger team for
students who wish to gain more experience in
outdoor activities such as orienteering and survival skills.
Students who successfully complete the
curriculum receive a commission as a
Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, Army
Reserve, or National Guard. Time served on
active duty varies, dependent upon the type of
program the student elects. Students can be
guaranteed Reserve or National Guard duty if

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 and
the principles guiding effective education in
music. This goal is supported by a number of
course offerings (classroom music courses in

Arts in Music
a liberal arts-oriented preparation for studio teaching and postbaccalaureate study; a choice of audio recording, per-
formance or music history specializations; 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 either in
—
music (22 semester hours) or 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 or 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 Chamber Singers.
Enrollment in an ensemble is based on invitation or successful audition. The ensembles are
described as courses 35.106 through 35.112.
Private lessons in voice, organ, piano,
strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion are
available to qualified students. Eight semester
hours of private instruction may be earned in
eight fall/spring semesters, 1 6 semester hours
for music majors. (For voice, contact Drs. Nelson or Miller; for organ. Nelson; for piano,
Couch; for class piano, Stokes or Couch; for
woodwinds and percussion, Oxley; for brass,
Wallace; and for strings, Jelinek and Stokes.)
Each performance ensemble carries both
a lower division and an upper division course
number; the latter indicates enrollment from
\
the fourth semester of participation. The upper division course number is always a 300 level number. Similarly each applied studio in-j
struction (private lesson) carries two division
course numbers, the upper division number
indicating enrollment from the third semester of study.
A limited number of music scholarships are

Degree Programs
Bachelor of Arts in Physics, Bachelor of
Science in Physics, Bachelor of Science in
Health Physics
The bachelor of arts program requires 54
semester hours for a major in physics.
The bachelor of science program requires
71 semester hours for a major in physics.
The bachelor of science program requires
68 semester hours for a major in health physics.
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
Liberal Arts.)
The Bachelor of Science in Physics provides
the opportunities and qualifications of the
Bachelor of Arts degree, with greater emphasis on the area of specialization.
The profession of health physics is devoted
to the protection of people and their environment from potential radiation hazards, while
at the same time making it possible for our
advancing civilization to enjoy all the benefits
resulting from the controlled use of radiation.
Health physicists are employed in industrial
laboratories, medical centers,
and government
agencies.
The Bachelor of Science in Health Physics
provides a sound background of courses in
physics, mathematics, chemistry and biology,
as well as specialized courses in health physics. Modern laboratories introduce students to
state-of-the-art instrumentation and advanced
techniques of measurement. An internship
course provides experience of the application
of health physics in industrial, medical, or government environments. The progrjim provides
the qualifications needed for direct entry into
the practicing profession or into graduate
school for greater specialization in health physics.

Goals and Objectives
The department offers courses
in all the
major subfields of political science for students
who wish to acquire a thorough understanding of the
art,
science, theories, processes,
structures of governments
and
and
politics.
Introductory courses are designed for both
majors and non-majors. The importance of
government and politics (locally, regionally,
nationally, and internationally) clearly points
to political science as a critical
element
in the
education of any university student.
Advanced courses are offered for students
who need in-depth study and specialized subject matter to serve as a foundation for careers
liberal
in politics, law, public administration,
commu-
nity service, international relations, criminal
justice,
communications, or teaching.
All courses attempt to develop the student's
read carefully, communicate effectivethink critically, analyze logically, and research thoroughly. A balance is sought between
abstract concepts and theories on the one hand
and concrete structures, processes, and applications on the other. Field work and internships give students an opportunity to apply

Radiological technologists are allied health
professionals who have expertise in the operation of X-ray equipment and the preparation
of patients for various diagnostic procedures.
Many clinically educated technologists pursue
a variety of careers, often in managerial or
teaching roles within their disciplines. In order to meet the varying needs of radiological
technologists, the program offers a means of
entering Bloomsburg at an advanced entry level and allows students to select a group of courses comprising either a management emphasis
or an education emphasis.
Students entering at this advanced level are
awarded 30 to 60 semester hours for satisfactory completion of an AMA-approved program
and the passing of the ARRT examination. It
is assumed that many advanced level students
will be part time and will require more than
two years to complete the program. The required third and fourth year courses comprise
an allied health core similar to that taken by
other allied health majors. Although advanced
entry is most common, other academic pathways exist for this program. For details, students
should contact their adviser.

Degree Program
Bachelor of Science in Speech Pathology
and Audiology
A total of 51
semester hours is required for
a major in speech pathology and audiology.
Goals and Objectives
The preprofessional curriculum in communication disorders prepares students for admission to graduate education in speech pathology and audiology.
The department makes no
recommendation for any type of certification
based on the completion of the undergraduate preprofessional curriculum.
A
core of re-
quired courses is prerequisite to graduate
school admission and is based on the Ameri-
(ASLHA)
accreditation/certification require-
ments.
Courses in the undergraduate preprofessional curriculum in speech pathology and
audiology are open to all university students
(majors and non-majors) who are interested
in hearing science, speech science, normal lan-
guage and communication development and/
or disorders. Courses in the curriculum can be
elected by students in teacher preparation
(i.e.,
childhood, elementary, secondary or
special education or education of the hearing
impaired) who want to gain competencies related to the special problems of teaching children with speech, language, and hearing impairments. The curriculum offers a general
education course concerning the processes,
functions, and pathologies of human commuearly
nication.
The preprofessional curriculum provides
the student with a broad general education
background. The primary emphasis is on general education with a few introductory courses
pertaining to the profession of speech pathology and audiology. No professional courses or
experiences are offered at the undergraduate
level (i.e., student teaching).
Admission to the graduate programs in audiology and speech pathology is competitive
and limited. Graduates of the master's degree
program
in
speech pathology and audiology
are eligible for certification in speech correction granted by the Pennsylvania Department
of Education, the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology or Speech Pathology issued by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Assocation (ASLHA) and licensure in audiology or speech pathology issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

State System of Higher Education
Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania is
one of the 14 state-owned universities that coinpose the State System of Higher Education. In
addition to 64 undergraduate degree programs
and one associate degree program, Bloomsburg offers 18 master's degrees in select academic disciplines and a doctoral program in
elementary education in cooperation with Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
Bloomsburg
University,
which offers
cur-
ricula in liberal arts, business, nursing, allied
health sciences, and teacher education, has
more than 7,500 students. The university is
organized as three colleges (Arts and Sciences, Business, and Professional Studies) and two
schools (Graduate Studies and Extended Programs). The scope and internal structure of
each college is described in the succeeding
chapter of this catalog.
The home of Bloomsburg University is its
namesake, the Town of Bloomsburg, the county seat of Columbia County, Pa. The industrial, trading, and residential community of nearly 12,000 is located 80 miles northeast of Harrisburg and is within two miles of two inter-
changes off Interstate 80.
Bloomsburg is served by Greyhound and
Continental Trailways bus lines. Commercial
airports in the Scran to n/Wilkes-Barre area and
in Williamsport are approximately an hour's
drive
from the
university.

of a classical education" was established in

renamed Carver Hall after Henry
Carver, an early principal, architect, and teachas the
Hall, later
was erected in 1867. Today, the gold-domed,
red-brick building is the university's landmark.
er,
Largely through the efforts of J. P. Wickersham, superintendent of public instruction, the
Bloomsburg Literary Institute officially became
the Bloomsburg Literary Institute and State
Normal School in 1869; it continued under this
name and organization until 1916 when it was
purchased by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and named 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.
May
In
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 teachelementary and secondary schools.
Under the administration of President
ers in
Francis B. Haas (1927-1939), great progress was
made in the teacher education program, and
new degree program in business education
a
was
initiated.
Upon
the naming 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. Dur-
ing World
War
II,
the U.S. Navy V-12 Officer
Training Program was conducted on the
Bloomsburg campus. As a result, a campus
building was renamed Navy Hall. In 1957, a
division of special education was instituted, and
today, Navy Hall still houses that program.
Major expansion in facilities, faculty, and
student body followed. Undergraduate fulltime 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
programs in humanities, social
and natural sciences/mathematics.
for liberal arts
sciences,
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.

Student Teaching
Teacher education culminates in student
teaching. Having satisfied the prerequisites for
student teaching courses, undergraduates are
assigned to positions in public or private
schools for the first or second semester of their
senior year. They are placed based on the availability of qualified cooperating teachers in
their subject area and the willingness of schools
with programs approved by the university. Students should be prepared to accept assignments in any of the student teaching centers.
A student teaching semester is divided into
two equal periods so that students may teach
at two grade levels and frequently in two socioeconomic environments. Because of constantly changing educational and socioeconomic
circumstances, flexibility of format is maintained in the student teaching program.
Student Teaching Centers
Student teaching centers and cooperating
teachers are drawn from urban, suburban, and
rural areas. Students in early childhood, ele-
mentary 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.
Student may arrange their student teaching assignment in one of the international
centers with which Bloomsburg cooperates, for
example, in Liverpool or London, England.
Information about this program may be obtained from department chairpersons.
Cooperating Teachers and Clinicians
Cooperating teachers and clinicians are
selected by faculty in teacher education based
on criteria set forth by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. These parameters are:
I. At least three years of teaching
and Schools
experience, one year of which has
been in the district to which the
teacher candidate is assigned;
2. A teaching assignment appropriate to
the subject competency of the teacher
candidate;
3. Completion of a program of preparation on observation and evaluation
skills developed by the college or
university for the cooperating teacher.
Training at the university is achieved
through the following means:
1. Individualized training;
2. Use of student teaching and clinical
manual;
3.
4.
Providing research and reading

Accreditation
Degree and Licensure
The nursing program at Bloomsburg University provides learning opportunities in nursing and related disciplines which enable students to attain attitudes, knowledge, and skills
essential to the role development of a beginning practitioner. The baccalaureate program
culminates in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and qualifies its graduates to sit for
the licensure examination administered by
state boards of nursing which establishes them
as registered nurses. The nursing program at
Bloomsburg is not only a conduit for further
education but also for lifelong learning activities.
In accordance with the Professional Nursing Law (PL. 317, No. 69, Jan. 1, 1986) a felonious act prohibits a person from obtaining
licensure in Pennsylvania. In compliance with
this legislation, the following guidelines are
enforced by The Pennsylvania State Board of
Nursing.
A license or certificate shall not be issued
to an applicant who has been:
1. Convicted* of a felonious act prohibited by the act of April 14, 1972, (PL.
233, No. 64) known as The Controlled
Substance, Drug, Device, and Cosmetic Act,

of academic courses applies to the Department
of Nursing.
The department reserves
the right
and the
responsibility to develop procedural guidelines
for the implementation of this academic

Department of Nursing chairperson by the Student Admission, Progression, and Retention
Committee. Based on these recommendations,
students who do not attain academic good
standing after one academic period on probation will be required to take a departmental
leave of absence.
Departmental Academic Probation
Students who fail to meet the requirements
of the policy for departmental academic good
standing are evaluated by the Committee on
Student Admission, Progression, and Retention and are immediately placed on departmental academic probation.
The department chairperson is responsible
for notifying students who have been placed
on probationary status.
Students must satisfy any identified academic deficiencies by repeating the course (s) before they can attempt any further progress in
the nursing program.

good standing after one academic period on
probation will be required to take a departmental academic leave of absence.
Departmental Academic Leave of
Absence

A student on a departmental academic
leave of absence is ineligible to attend any
course offered by the Department of Nursing.
When on departmental academic leave, a position will be guaranteed for the student for
no more than one calendar year. If at the end
of one calendar year the student is not ready
to return from departmental academic leave
of absence, that student will be considered to
be withdrawn from the program.

Entrance Standards and Notification
Procedures
The university does not prescribe fixed secondary school course requirements for admission but does, however, strongly encourage all
students to take a college preparatory program
in secondary school. Admission to Bloomsburg
University is based on an applicant's academic
and personal qualifications. Decisions are
reached without regard to race, color, creed,
national origin, sex or disability. Acceptance
is determined by the Admissions Committee
upon evaluation of secondary school preparation, scores on the SAT or ACT, personal char-
An applicant offered admission must submit a medical examination report form prior
to enrollment. Applicants get the appropriate examination report form upon receipt of
advance deposits. Final permission to enroll
is contingent upon a favorable review of the
applicant's medical history by a university physician.
Act 101 and Educational Opportunity
Programs
These programs equalize educational opportunity for students regardless of their economic background or status. Anyone with a
secondary school diploma or certificate of
equivalency is eligible to apply for admission
to these programs. Nontraditional criteria are
applied in estimating the potential success of
an applicant when it appears that the environmental background may have adversely affected grades and/or standardized test scores. The
Director of Admissions may require an applicant for these programs to file supplementary
information as needed for proper consideration.
Most new students are expected to particisummer program prior to the first
semester of their attendance, where special
assistance in tutoring and counseling is given
to address specific academic, financial, and
social needs. Permission to be exempted from
this requirement can only be granted by the
pate in a
director of these programs.
Send inquiries to the Director of ACT 101/
EOP or the Director of Admissions. (See De-
velopmental Instruction.)
Early Admission
Outstanding students may be considered
for admission before secondary school gradu-
achievement and

must have the endorsement of their secondary school to receive consideration. College
credit earned may apply toward the requireation. In addition to strong

ments for a secondary school diploma. Students interested in early admission should arrange an interview with the Director of Admissions.
University Scholars
The
Program provides
a special academic experience for a preselected group of freshmen and sophomores. The
program offers challenge for students who
have distinguished themselves educationally,
have superior intellectual ability, set high standards for themselves, and who plan to seriously pursue a quality college education.
The scholars curriculum fosters the growth
of intellectual independence, creativity, and
initiative; enhance analytical thinking and
problem-solving abilities; augment interpretative abilities
and communication
skills;
and
develop a sense of "common bonding." Students get a variety of courses and course designs including symposia, forums, independent
and experiential study that require extensive reading, writing, and in-depth study
and research. The scholars courses are taught
study,
by university faculty designated because of distinguished scholarship, outstanding perfor-
mance
as teachers,
and
ability to relate to stu-
dents.
The scholars program requires the completion of 24 semester hours of general education
credit in designated scholars courses within the
two academic years. The remainder of
courses in these years is selected from regular
course offerings to satisfy major, minor, and
other general education requirements. Scholars courses, while they satisfy general education requirements, are specially designed to
emphasize the integration of interdisciplinary
knowledge, concepts, and skills.
Although university scholars have many
special programs and services, they also are
fully integrated into the mainstream of the
campus community to enjoy the same dimensions of university life that other students experience including residence hall living, a wide
array of cultural activities, campus leadership
opportunities, sports events, and other co-curricular programs.
Scholars program eligibility is based upon
high school achievement, a ranking in the top
20 percent of the graduation class, and above
average standarized test results. Once eligible,
high school seniors or graduates are selected
on the basis of their application, essay, reference letters, and interview. Although high academic achievement provides eligibility, per-

in their major discipline to continue in enhanced academic programs during their final
two years.
Transfer Students
An applicant who previously attended or at
the time of application is enrolled in another
college or university is a transfer applicant.
Transfer admission occurs three times during
the year: fall, spring and summer. Applications
for the fall semester and summer sessions
should be complete and on file in the Admissions Office prior to March 15. Applications
for the spring semester must be complete and
on file by Oct. 15. Nursing candidates for the
fall semester must have completed applications
on file by January 15 and by September 1 for
Spring admission.
Requirements necessary to make a file complete for a transfer candidate include: an official secondary school transcript or a GED
(General Equivalency Diploma); official tranfrom all postsecondary schools attend-
scripts
ed; and the $25 application fee. Scholastic
Assessment Test (SAT) or American College
Test (ACT) results must be submitted if the
applicant has not completed 24 or more credits at a postsecondary institution. Official college transcripts from each school attended
should be sent to the Director of Admissions
regardless of whether or not credit was earned
at the other institution (s).
A transfer student may be considered for
admission if certified as holding good stand-
ing academically and otherwise in the college
attended and having an overall Quality
Point Average (QPA) of 2.0 or better on a 4.0
system.
The degree programs in adult health, nursing or education require students to have a
last
32
minimum cumulative QPA of 2.50 for entrance
to the major.
Transfer applicants who have completed 30
semester hours at an institution of higher education must select a major upon entering the
university. They may not enter as undeclared
majors.
Credits are deemed transferable if earned
with a grade of C (2.0/4.0) or above at an institution that is accredited by the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Schools/Commission on Higher Education or its regional equivalent providing Bloomsburg University has
equivalent courses. Students are informed of
the tentative number of credits that may be
transferred in their offer of admission letter.
Official transfer evaluations are completed after the student pays the advanced deposits.
These transfer credit evaluations are then reviewed by the department chairperson who
renders final approval of the evaluation. A
maximum of 64 credits may be transferred
from an regionally-accredited two-year college.
Review of transfer applications is done on
a rolling basis, v^dth the exception of nursing
applicants whose files are reviewed by the Student Admission, Progression, and Retention
Committee of the School of Health Sciences.
An orientation for transfer students is held
prior to their enrollment. Students are notified by the Orientation Office concerning specific information.
Readmission
Students failing to register for the next semester must apply for readmission. Nondegree students may continue to register without readmission provided their next registration is within four semesters of their last enrollment. It is suggested that students apply
early for readmission.
Readmitted students are responsible for the
graduation requirements and academic policies that exist at the time of their reentrance.
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 their application for readmission.
Readmitted students who were formally dismissed for academic deficiency have two final
grading periods in which to regain minimum
academic progress or good standing. If dis-
Admission
missed the second time, these students may not
attend the university for additional degree or
nondegree credit
study.
Temporary Withdrawal/
Leave of Absence
A student may request a
temporary with-
drawal for a specified period by securing the
appropriate forms at the Office of the Registrar. To be eligible for a temporary withdrawal, the student must submit completed forms
to the Office of Admissions for processing. A
student must be in academic good standing or
making minimal progress toward good standing and must request the temporary withdrawal prior to the registration date of the intended period of absence.
A student on a temporary withdrawal is assured a place in the semester designated for
return provided the instructions that are part
of the temporary withdrawal agreement are
fulfilled, and advance deposits are submitted
at the time designated by the Director of Admissions.
A student who returns from a temporary
withdrawal of a calendar year or less in duration is responsible for the graduation requirements and academic policies that applied at
the time the temporary withdrawal was requested. A student who returns from a temporary
withdrawal of more than one calendar year
duration must satisfy the graduation requirements and academic policies which exist at the
time of return and is then classified as a readmitted student.
Second Baccalaureate Degree
Application materials and instructions for
obtaining a second bachelor's degree at
Bloomsburg University may be secured from
the Office of Admissions. There is an application fee of $25. To qualify, an applicant must
hold a bachelor's degree from an regionallyaccredited college or university.
This second degree track requires a student
to earn a minimum of 30 semester hours in
undergraduate courses while in residence at
the university. All curriculum requirements for
the second degree must be satisfied and free
elective credit taken, if necessary, to complete
the minimum of 30 semester hours.
If there is a replication of a required
course (s) in the two baccalaureate programs,
the course (s) cannot be applied as part of the
30-semester-hour requirement for completion
of the second degree.
The applicant must provide the department

chairperson from the discipHne they wish to
pursue, with a copy of their official college transcript and a second degree application form.
Pending a favorable review of the applicant's
academic credentials, the chairperson signs the
application and forwards it and the official
transcript to the Admissions Office.
International Students
Residents of foreign countries should iniapplication well in advance of the
semester they plan to enroll. Non-U.S. citizens
who are not resident aliens need to submit a
special application for international students.
This application may be obtained by writing
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) administered by the Educational Testing Service in
Princeton, N.J. The minimum acceptable
TOEFL score is 500. Those students who fail
to earn a score of 500 are urged to investigate
enrolling in the English as a Second Language
course (ESL) that is offered at the university.
Upon completion of the ESL program, the
minimum QPA acceptable to supplement a
TOEFL score of under 500 is a 2.5.
Certificates of educational training should
be accompanied by certified translations if they
are presented in a language other than English.
Supplement credentials with brief course descriptions of subjects successfully completed.
International transfer students must submit
their credentials to an outside evaluation agency for course-by-course transfer evaluations.
Instructions are given on the international stutiate their
dent application.
Students must submit a notarized financial
statement that would indicate their ability to
finance their educational and living expenses
for the duration of their college career. Due
to financial limitations, students who are unable to provide for their educational and living expenses will not be offered admission to
Bloomsburg
University.
Campus Visits
Group information sessions are held regularly on campus. Arrangements can be made
to attend a
group information session by con-
tacting the Office of Admissions at (717) 389-
4316. The campus Visitors Center is located
in the lobby of Waller Administration Building and is open weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
and weekends, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Four Saturday open house programs are
held in October, November, February and April
in Mitrani Hall, Haas Center for the Arts, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Open House programs
consist of a general meeting with admissions
staff and administrative personnel, a questionand-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 information session because
prospective students have the opportunity to
meet directiy with members of the university
,
faculty.
Off-campus Visits
Each
year, representatives
from the Office
of Admissions visit secondary schools and community colleges throughout Pennsylvania and
in neighboring states. They also participate in
approximately 100 college night/ career day
programs including National College Fair pro-

Financial Aid
Many
programs are available
Bloomsburg University. These
include scholarships, grants, loans and student
employment.
Undergraduate, graduate, part-time and
transfer students from every income bracket
may be eligible for some type of financial aid
student employment, grants, scholarships
or low-interest loans. By evaluating the financial aid sources and developing a sound financial plan, each student will have the monetary
resources needed while minimizing potential
financial aid
to students at
—
debt burden.
Commonly used terms
The Hnancial aid package is composed of a
combination of a grant, a loan and/or campus work study. Students receive an award letter that outiines the types of financial aid which
they will receive for the following year.
Financial need is the difference between the
cost of attending college and the amount the
needs analysis service calculates that a family
can contribute to the cost of the student's education.
34
Financial Aid
Student expense budget is the total cost of
attending college and is used to determine
each student's financial need. It depends upon
whether students live at home, in a campus
residence hall or off campus.
Grants are financial aici awards that students
do not have to repay.
PHEAA (Pennsylvania Higher Education
Assistance Agency) administers grant and loan
programs to residents of Pennsylvania.
Pell Grants are federal grants of approximately $200 to $2,340. They are not repaid.
Scholarships are grants awarded on the
basis of grades or other achievements rather
than financial need.
Supplemental Educational Opp rtunity
Grants (SEOG) provides federal aid to students
who demonstrate an exceptional financial
need. It supplements other forms of financial
aid, and it is not repaid.
Loans are a form of financial aid that students must repay.
Lenders are participating commercial
banks, federal and state savings and loan associations or credit unions that loan money to
students. PHEAA is also considered a lender.
Student loans in states other than Pennsylvania are made by similar institutions.
Interest is the annual fee charged for using
loan money.
A Perkins Loan is made at a 5 percent annual interest rate. There are no interest charges while the student is in college.
Stafford Loans must be repaid, and they
carry a 7-9 percent interest rate. An origination fee and insurance premium of approximately 4 percent are deducted from the total
amount of each loan to help defray some of
the interest the federal government pays during the student's undergraduate years.
Work-study awards are an authorization to
work but do not guarantee employment.
Stu-
dents are responsible for finding their own
campus jobs. The Financial Aid Office maintains a "placement" bulletin board outside
Room 19, Ben Franklin Hall where available
jobs are posted. Students must reapply each
academic year/summer to renew their employment.

difference between the cost of attending
Bloomsburg University and what the student
and/or family can contribute as calculated by
a financial aid formula that is approved by the
U.S. Department of Education.
When estimating how much students and
their families may be able to contribute, a need
analysis considers the student's and family's
income and assets, including savings; the student's and family's ages and need for retireStudents

Transfer students must submit to the Financial Aid Office an official Financial Aid Transcript that documents their financial aid record
at all previous institutions attended. Financial
aid does not automatically follow students
when they transfer from one college to another, and no aid will be processed until this in-
formation is received.

graduate assistantship at the same time.
Non-degree students who are enrolled in
non-degree certificate programs that exceed
24 credits in length may be eligible for financial aid. Application procedures are the same
as those for degree students. Non-degree students who are not enrolled in a certificate program that exceeds 24 credits in length are ineligible for aid.
In addition to the costs for tuition, fees,
students will incur costs for
books, supplies, transportation, personal and
room and board,
miscellaneous expenses. Bloomsburg University expects that these annual expenses will be
approximately $2,200.
These estimated costs for 1994-1995 are
subject to change without notice and are dependent upon the action of the Board of Governors of the Pennsylvania State System of
Higher Education and the Bloomsburg University Council of Trustees.
Eligibility
All applicants for financial aid at
Blooms-
burg University must submit either the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid or the
Federal Renewal Application. Some students
also wdll be requested to complete the PHEAA
Status Notice, which will be mailed to the student by PHEAA. Eligibility for all financial aid
programs at Bloomsburg is determined on the
basis of the information submitted on these
forms. There is no fee to process these applications.
Students must either submit verification
that they have registered with the Selective
Service Commission or sign a statement certifying that they are not required to register.
Students must be citizens or permanent
residents of the United States. Students in the
United States on Fl or F2 student visas are not
eligible for federal aid.
Satisfactory progress must be maintained by
students to remain eligible for financial aid.
Students are urged to become familiar with the
university's satisfactory progress policy.
all
Satisfactory Progress
Students must earn at least 24 credits in a
12-month period with a required grade point
average. Summer freshmen, who are enrolled
for less than 12 credits during the summer, are
required to earn 21 credits during their freshman year. Students enrolled full-time for only
one semester are expected to earn at least 12
credits. Part-time students and graduate students must earn credit hours as follows:
• 1 to 8 credit hours
half of all the
credit hours attempted must be
earned or
• 9 or more credit hours
two-thirds of
all credit hours attempted must be
earned.
Students must also meet the qualitative
measures of progress shown in the chart below. Students are urged to review the withdrawal and repeat policies. Exceeding the maximum number of allowable repeats and/or
withdrawals will adversely affect the student's
ability to meet satisfactory progress standards
for financial aid purposes.

counted as credits earned in two different semesters.
Students are expected to complete their
degree or certificate within a maximum time
frame that is no longer than 150 percent of
the published length of the program. For example, a full-time undergraduate student who
is enrolled in a program that would normally
take eight semesters to complete would be required to complete the program within 1 2 semesters unless extraordinary circumstances
exist. The total semesters for completion of a
program of study for a part-time student will
be extended proportionally.
Students enrolled in a non-degree program
must also meet satisfactory progress standards
to obtain financial aid in
subsequent semes-
ters.

Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grants (SEOG) are offered to students of exceptional financial need who would not otherwise be able to continue their education. Students are eligible to apply for this federal program if they have been accepted or are currendy enrolled as full-time degree students.
Grants range from $200 to $1,000.
To apply for these grants, students must
complete either the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or the Federal Renewal Application and submit it to PHEAA no later than
Aid.
The
Financial Aid Office monitors satisfac-
tory progress each semester. Students are notified that aid is being canceled if the number
of credits earned during the fall, spring and
summer semesters does not meet satisfactory
progress requirements.
Students who have been academically dismissed for at least one year will be considered
making satisfactory progress for financial aid
purposes upon their reinstatement to the university.
Any Bloomsburg student whose
aid has

approximately $2,340 in 1995-1996. The Pell
Grant application deadline is May 1, 1996.
Pennsylvania State Grants are designed for
full-time and part-time (at least six credits per
semester) undergraduate students who are
residents of Pennsylvania and who are enrolled
in a degree program.
These grants range from approximately
$100 to $2,600 per year. To apply, students
must use either the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or the Federal Renewal Af>plication. Some students also will be required
to complete the PHEIAA Status Notice, which
will be mailed to the student by PHEAA. The
deadline for applications is May 1, 1995.
To remain eligible, students must maintain
satisfactory progress and plan to complete their
bachelor's degree within four years or eight
semesters. Students may receive a PHEAA
Grant for enrollment during the summer; however, a separate summer application is required. The summer semester counts as one
of the maximum eight semesters of eligibility.

questions about the Stafford Loan or any other form of federal student aid.
Perkins Loan recipients must demonstrate
a financial need and be enrolled or accepted
as degree students. These federal loans range
from $200 to $2,000 per academic year and are
usually packaged with other forms of aid, such
as grants and work study. Students who are
interested in a Perkins Loan for the summer
and who have submitted either the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or the Federal Renewal Application, should schedule an
appointment between March 16 and April 22
with the university's Director of Financial Aid.
A Perkins Loan carries a 5 percent simple
interest. Repayment starts nine months after
students conclude their education.
There are provisions whereby students may
be eligible to have the loan canceled over a
five-year period; i.e., students who work with
the disabled individuals or within a geographic area that is classified by the U.S. Department
of Education as a poverty area.
Students must submit either the Free Ap>plication for Federal Student Aid or the Federal Renewal Application to PHEAA no later
than March 15.
Stafford Loans combine two loans: the subsidized Stafford Loan and the unsubsidized
Stafford Loan.
An subsidized Stafford Loan is one on
which the federal government pays the interest while the
student (borrower)
is
in college.
Eligibility for a subsidized Stafford
Loan
is
based on family income and financial need
established by standards set by the federal government.
A unsubsidized Stafford Loan is one on
which the student (borrower) is responsible for
payment of the interest during the in-college
period.
Students can apply for a Stafford Loan from
a participating lender in or
near their home community at least 60 days
before the date the funds will be needed. Application for loans can be made any time of

on
interest rates.
In addition to the interest charges, students
must pay an "origination fee" and "insurance
premium" of approximately 4 percent of the
amount of the loan. The lender deducts this
amount from the value of the loan.
Repayment begins when students either
graduate, withdraw or enroll less than half-time
(5 credits or less) and have used the allowable
grace period - usually six consecutive months.
The monthly repayment amount is set by
mutual agreement of the lender and the student. However, the monthly payment amount
must be large enough to pay the full loan debt
within the 10-year repayment limit. The required minimum monthly payment is $50.
Many students will have payments of more than
$50 per month; others will repay their loan
before the 10-year limit.
Persons who borrow money through a loan
program assume responsibility for repaying the
loan and must notify the lender immediately
if circumstances arise that make it difficult to
meet
this
commitment.
Students and their families are entitled to
receive a copy of the completed promissory
note from the lender. They may also pay the
balance of the loan, plus any interest due, early and without a penalty.
Repayment may be deferred up to three
years while on active duty with the Peace Corps,
or in comparable volunteer programs. Deferments are considered for attendance in "approved" vocational rehabilitation programs,
professional internships and disability of the
student or a spouse in certain circumstances.
During such deferments, the federal government continues interest payments if the loan
previously qualified for interest subsidy benefits.
Students are obligated to repay the
full
amount of the loan even if they do not graduate. If, when repayment begins, students are
unable to meet the repayment schedule, i.e.,
inability to find employment, they may apply
to the lender for forbearance to stop payments
temporarily or to make smaller payments than
scheduled.
Persons borrowing must notify the lender
when any of the following conditions arise be-

fore the loan is repaid: graduation, withdrawal from college, attendance is less than half-
time (5 credits or
less),
change of name or
address, transfer to another school or other
changes that may affect students' eligibility for
deferred payments.
The Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) is available to parents of dependent undergraduate students who want to borrow funds to help pay for educational costs.
The maximum amount parents may borrow is
the difference between cost minus other aid.
Interest rates vary but will not exceed 9 percent. Repayment of both the principal and the
interest begins within 60 days after the disbursement of the loan. Parents can acquire
the appropriate loan applications from their
local lending institutions.

CertiHcation
—
Major
Each student must complete a
major field of study for graduation. A major
field of study is one of the approved degree
programs prescribed by the major department
or the college in which the student is enrolled.
The specific course requirements for the options within each of the degree programs leading to the degrees are described in the catalog.
Minor
— A minor
field of study consists of
of 18 hours, at least 15 of which
must be in the department offering the minor.
While courses counting toward a minor may
also fulfill general education or career concentration requirements, minor courses may not
be in a student's major discipline and/or certification area. A minor offered in an academic discipline may have multiple advisement
options. A student may choose to pursue minors in more than one academic discipline.
Career Concentration

departments may require more than the minimum 128 credits for graduation.
Pass-Fail Policy
After attaining sophomore standing, a degree student may elect credit courses on a passfail basis in accordance with the following rules:
• A maximum of two courses (totaling not
more than 8 semester hours) may be
included as part of the minimum
graduation requirement of 128 semester
hours.
• No more than one pass-fail course may be
taken in any one semester.

serving in the armed forces of the United
States. The registrar makes a recommendation to the departmental chairperson of the
student's major based upon the American
Council on Education's Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed
Forces. Recommendations are made provided the credit applies to the student's degree
program. The final decision for granting credit
resides with the departmental chairperson.

Student Course Requirements and
Progress Information
Within the first week of classes each semesteaching faculty must distribute in writing
at least the following information: procedures
for determining each letter grade, any relationship of class attendance to the course, any other course requirements, weighted average of
requirements for grade computation, and procedures for making up tests or other work
missed through excused absence.
Faculty may post student grades providing
a student has given written permission; the
grades must not identify the student. Using
social security numbers or parts of social security numbers is illegal. If grades are posted,
each student should be given unique identifier which is not consistent to student names listter,
ed
in alphabetical order.
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 of 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.
Recording Grades
At the end of a semester or summer session,
the final grade for each course is recorded on
the student's permanent record; a copy of the

I
Incomplete is a temporary grade given only when an instructor believes a student
has been unable to complete course requirements due to circumstances beyond his/her
control. Failure of a student to take the final
examination or complete other course requirements without prior arrangement with the instructor for a legitimate excuse is not justification for a grade of I.
When an instructor submits a grade of I to
the registrar, it must be accompanied by a formal, written plan for the student to complete
the course requirements and the appropriate
letter grade that would be assigned if the plan
were not completed by the student in the time
specified. The plan for the student to complete
the course requirements shall be prepared by
the instructor with the acceptance of the student. Unless specifically stated in the written
plan to the contrary, it is assumed that work
will be completed prior to the end of the next
regular semester. When the plan has been completed by the student, the instructor will recalculate the grade to be assigned for the course
and submit this new grade to the registrar according to established procedures.
A request for an extension of time to complete course requirements must be initiated by
the student prior to the deadline of the plan
on file in the Office of the Registrar. The student must present suitable documentation to
the instructor indicating that circumstances
above and beyond her/his control persist or
new circumstances of that nature have developed. An extension of time will be granted only
upon approval of the instructor and the dean
of the appropriate college.

the same as those for the grade of I. The instructor must submit the grade of R to the registrar along with the formal plan for completion of the research and the grade to be assigned to the student if the research is not completed satisfactorily in the time period stipulated. The plan for the student to complete
the research shall be prepared by the instructor with the acceptance of the student. Unless
specifically stated in the written plan to the
contrary, it is assumed that the work will be
completed prior to the end of the next regular semester. When the student has completed
the plan, the instructor shall recalculate the
grade to be assigned for the course and submit this new grade to the registrar according
to established procedures.

Quality point values are assigned as follows:
Grade Quality Value Points

E
See note on pending revisions above.
Quality Point Average (QPA)
The Quality Point Average (QPA) is computed from the academic record of courses
taken at Bloomsburg University in which
grades of A through E were earned. The computation is executed by multiplying the number of semester hours for each course by the
number of quality points for the grade in the
course and adding the products, then dividing the sum obtained in the first step by the
total number of semester hours represented
by the courses.
A "semester QPA" is computed by including only the courses of a single semester. The
"cumulative QPA" is computed by including all
courses taken to date at Bloomsburg University. If a course is successfully repeated at another regionally accredited institution of higher
education, the credits for a grade of D or E
and the quality points for the D at Bloomsburg
are deleted from the computation.
Change of Grade
After a grade of A through E has been reported to the Registrar's Office, it may be
changed only through the grievance process,
to change a temporary grade to a final grade,
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 a grade of I
and R is changed, only the approval of the
department chairperson is required.
Course Repeat Policy
A maximum of four courses
(not more than
14 semester hours) in which grades of D or E
have been recorded may be repeated. The initial grade remains on the transcript and is part
of the student's permanent record. Quality
points are awarded for the grade of the repeated course only. The grade of the repeated
course is part of the permanent record and is
used to calculate the student's quality point
average. Multiple repeats of the same course
are considered as one repeat. A course taken
at the university in which a grade of D or E has
been earned and repeated at another accredited institution of higher education is included in the permitted maximum number of repeats.

Academic Good Standing
A student whose record at any final grading period shows a cumulative QPA of 2.00 or
better is considered in academic good standing. (There are three final grading periods, fall
semester, spring semester, and the total summer
session.)
Satisfactory Progress
Satisfactory progress

any 12-month period, must earn half of all
semester hours attempted for up to 8 semester hours; two-thirds of all credit hours attempted for 9 or more semester hours.
Note: Hours earned for a repeated undergraduate course are not counted twice.
To maintain satisfactory progress, a student
must meet the following minimal requirements:

minimum number of semester hours as
prescribed above within the given semester.
Academic Dismissal
A student who at any final grading period
not in good standing, making minimal
progress toward good standing, or qualified to
attend for a semester on academic probation
is excluded from registration, and his/her
record is marked "academic dismissal." A student may be placed on "academic dismissal"

If
the student elects to attend the

sessions immediately following reinstatement
for a spring semester dismissal, then the entire summer session is considered the next
grading period for which the student must attain minimal progress toward good academic
standing or good academic standing.
Petitions to the Academic Review Board
must be in writing and must be mailed to the
chairperson of the Academic Review Board
within 48 hours of receipt of official notification of dismissal.
The Academic Review Board includes the
deans of Arts and Sciences, Business, and Professional Studies; director of Admissions, dean
of the School of Extended Programs; coordinator of Academic Advisement; registrar; director of the Center for Counseling and Human Development; and a representative of the
vice president for student life. At the initiative of either the applicant or the Academic
Review Board, the student's adviser may be
invited to participate as a voting member in
the consideration of the case.
In its evaluation of a petition for reinstatement, the 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
or her curriculum successfully within a reasonable extension of the normal four-year period; and an evaluation of the plan for attaining
good standing proposed by the student. A decision of the Academic Review Board is final
and not subject to review.

Procedures
Bloomsburg University students are expected to be honest in all their academic work; this
means they will not engage in any of the following acts:
• Cheating on examinations including nonauthorized use of books or notes, use of crib
sheets, copying from other student's papers,
exchanging information with another student orally or by signals, obtaining a copy
of the examination illegally, and other similar activities.
Plagiarism in term papers, themes, essays,
reports, take-home examinations, etc. (To
plagiarize is to steal or use without acknowledgment the ideas, words, formulas, computer programs, etc. of another person.)
• Falsificadons including forging signatures,
altering answers after they have been graded, insertion of answers after the fact, erasure of a grader's marking, etc.
A student found guilty of academic dishonesty may be subjected to a full range of penal•
ties
from reprimand
to expulsion
from the
university.
Diagnostic Testing Program Policy
This policy applies to testing that is not a
part of the admissions procedure or course
requirements. The coordinator of academic
advisement uses diagnostic test results to assist
with course placement.
Students will be selected for diagnostic testing based upon their predicted freshman year
grade point average or performance in courses at Bloomsburg University. A predicted freshman year QPA is calculated for each new freshman at the time of application to the university. New students with a predicted QPA less than
2.5 will be given diagnostic test(s). Students
whose college QPA falls below 2.0 will be considered for diagnostic testing based upon their
circumstances. The specific area(s) of diagnostic testing will be determined by the pattern of
SAT scores and either high school or college
achievement. Students selectively low in one
of the admission testing areas (e.g., below SAT
math of 450 or SAT verbal of 430) will have
diagnostic testing in areas which are selectively

Depending on the results of the review of
the record and the diagnostic evaluation, an

If a student is identified and placed in a
developmental course (s), the course (s) is con-
sidered a prerequisite before additional courses for credit can be taken in the corresponding area. Each student will be provided with a
letter indicating course placement or the recommended resources available to assist them,
such as tutorial services, tutorial labs, and the
College Study Skills courses. Such developmental programs will be provided for a maximum
of students within the budgetary limits of the

Meal Plan Options and Flex Dollars
All students living in
William W. Scran ton Commons has a seatng capacity of 1,265. A variety of dining ser-
campus residence halls
are required to purchase a meal plan. Students
who
live
off-campus or in the Montgomery
Place Apartments hav the option of purchasing a meal plan at the Business Office in Waller
Administration Building.
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 at any food facility.
Each time a student uses flex dollars, the expenditure is subtracted from the balance of the
student's flex account. Students living in the
residence halls can add to their flex account
increments of $25. Students living off-campus and in the Montgomery Place Apartments
can purchase flex dollars at the Business Office in $25 increments once they have made
an initial minimum deposit of $100 into their

100 other colleges in the nation, became a center for the Navy's V-12 program, in which cadets were educated and trained for commissioning. The Navy used the building from 1942
through 1945, and in 1943 the name was
changed to Navy Hall. Since 1946, this building has been used for regular college student

Harvey A. Andruss Library
Harvey A. Andruss Library, built in 1966,
houses the university's collection of bound

general theme of truth and virtue, the three
windows at the back of the building were designed in 1919 and originally placed in Old
Waller Hall (demolished in 1974) in 1920 in
an effort to provide "an ecclesiastical atmosphere" to encourage students toward a more
hushed demeanor. The four rectangular windows from the George W. Spence Company of
Boston were placed in the adjoining Noetling

Dr.
Frank C. Laubach was known as the man
who
taught millions to read. His "each one

countries and over 300 languages through the
Laubach Literacy International. Norman Vincent Peale called Laubach one of the worlds's
five greatest men. Laubach was a native of
Columbia County and a 1901 Bloomsburg
graduate. Dr. Laubach is the only alumnus to
have a U.S. postage stamp (30 cent) issued in
his honor. The stamp issued in 1984 was part
of the great American Series. Laubach Drive
begins at East Second Street, runs past Benjamin Franklin Hall and Navy Hall and ends at

served as dean of the College of Education at
the University of Puerto Rico from 1928 to
1945. He subsequently traveled throughout
Central America where he was instrumental in
modernizing the school systems. His book, A
History ofEducation in Puerto Rico, was published
in 1949. Reflective of his love for the Bloomsburg area, upon his death in 1950, Osuna was

Worid War I Memorial (1919)
Originally entitled the
War Hero Memori-
Pinery of the Class of 1919, the memorial
lies on the front lawn, north of Carver Hall.
Pine trees honoring each of fifteen Bloomsburg State Normal School students who died
in World War I were planted in 1919; on Decal
oration Day (now more commonly called Memorial Day), May 30, 1922, a boulder marker
with a bronze plaque naming the fallen was
placed and dedicated. With the construction
of Schuykill Residence Hall in the early 1960's
some pine trees were necessarily removed, leaving only ten.
Pergola (1916)
A dictionary definition of pergola is "a tunnel-shaped structure of latticework upon which
climbing plants are grown." Given to the university by the class of 1916, the pergola situated just north of Montour Hall served as the
locale for outdoor pageants (including May
Day and Ivy Day celebrations) and plays. This
was at a time when a grove and lagoon embraced the structure and plenty of space existed for rows of spectator seating.

Goals and Objectives
The programs in allied
health sciences en-
compass those health areas in which individuals support, aid 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 post-
graduate education in health care. Central to
most allied health programs, especially the clinical portion, is satisfactory completion of the
clinicail
standards, often referred to as the Es-
sentials.
These standards establish requirements
related to curriculum, personnel, financing,
resources,
and records.
Program Description
At Bloomsburg University the preparatory
programs in physical therapy, occupational
therapy, pharmacy, and cytotechnology usualspan two to four years. Student then transfer to another institution for their clinical training and, upon completion of the program,
earn a baccalaureate or master's degree.
Bloomsburg University does not award specific degrees in these areas.
Students who select these preparatory programs follow a course of study that not only
prepares them for entry into a variety of programs at other schools, but provides the option of pursuing a bachelor's degree in biology if they should decide to complete a degree

The opportunity to obtain degrees in
phys-
occupational therapy, or cytotechnology is enhanced by an affiliation with Thomas Jefferson University's College of Allied
Health Sciences. This agreement facilitates the
transfer of students who have completed a
minimum of two years preparatory work at
Bloomsburg into upper-division baccalaureate
and master's programs at Thomas Jefferson
University. This "2 plus 2" or "2 plus 3" arrangement couples an educational experience at a
rural university with advanced clinical training
at a major medical center in Philadelphia. Although the "2 plus 2" arrangement remains in
place for most allied health programs, the arrangement for physical therapy is "2 plus 3"
and culminates in a master's degree from Thomas Jefferson University.
It is important to note that many physical
therapy programs are entered after the student
has received a baccalaureate degree, and the
postbaccalaureate program leads to a master's
degree.

Bloomsburg University is an active participant in the PACE (Plan A College Education)
program sponsored by Thomas Jefferson University's College of Allied Health Sciences.
PACE is an advanced early admission program
for academically talented secondary school
seniors who wish to matriculate to Thomas Jefferson University after attending an accredited university for, at least, the first two years.
All colleges of pharmacy in the United
States offering the Bachelor of Science in pharmacy require five years of college education
for the completion of degree requirements.
The five year curriculum is usually divided into
two years of pre-pharmacy education and three
years of professional pharmacy education.
Thus it is a "2 plus 3"program. Students who

careful planning, it is possible to satisfy all of
the requirements indicated during the student's three-year residence at Bloomsburg
University
To enter the program, individuals need only
apply and be accepted for admission to
Bloomsburg University. However, applicants
should be aware that any engineering program
requires the application of strong mathematical and problem-solving skills. It is expected

Introductory history courses provide the
basic factual information
which places nation-
and international events in their proper setting. Advanced courses develop interpretive
and analytical abilities as well as those oral and
written skills applied to historical inquiry and
al
the day-to-day problem-solving situations confronted by the educated student. The ability
to complete research and work independentiy
on specialized research projects and the maturity associated with independent inquiry are
essential ingredients of advanced study. Cur-
and social issues are handled withacademic program which features
traditional topical and/or time periods as well
as issue-oriented courses which deal with current political

rent events. Diverse course offerings allow students the opportunity to study nations whose
and political goals differ from
own. The examination of earlier cultures,
culture, values,
their
time periods, and emerging nations allow the
student to place the evolution of civilization
in a proper historical context.
Lastly, history is among the humanities.
Like a great painting, a piece of music or a
gorgeous sunset, history is viewed as something
that enriches one's life and has an existence
separate from the practical skills and professional preparation associated with the discipline.

Goals and Objectives
The programs in allied
health sciences en-
compass those health areas in which individuals support, aid, 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 Es-

applicants to Bloomsburg University. These
requirements may be found under the section
on Admission. Assistance with the admission
application to the clinical year phase is offered
by the university, but admission to that phase,
as well as fees, are determined solely by the
institution
where the clinical work is done. The
university cannot guarantee that a student will
be accepted for the clinical education portion
of the program. In general, students with the
highest academic achievement, who interview
well, and have a history of volunteer work are
given priority.
Students who successfully complete all of
the requirements and the clinical year earn a
Bachelor of Science degree. All clinical year
graduates become eligible to take the two certification examinations for medical technologists. Upon successfully completing one or
both of these examinations, the student is
awarded a certificate of registry and the designation Medical Technologist (M.T.) (ASCP) or

prior to entering the clinical experience may
remain at the university and complete the requirements for a baccalaureate degree. Ordinarily, a student can complete the degree requirements for a Bachelor of Arts in biology
in one additional year; other curricula may
demand more time. Many students in the med-
clinical

microbiology. This option is detailed in the

ROTC incurring no military obligation. Opportunities also exist for attending Airborne, Air
Assault,
and Northern Warfare Schools.
Army ROTC
provides a four-year curricu-
both men and women regardless
of academic major or area of study. All equipment, clothing and books are provided free of
lum open
to
charge. The program is divided into two parts,
the Basic Course and the Advanced Course.
The Basic Course consists of four courses given during the freshman and sophomore years.
During this period, classes include such subjects as military history and organization, traditions, leadership development, time manage-
ment and adventure training.
The Advanced Course consists of four
courses given during the junior and senior
years. This portion of the
trates
on
curriculum concen-
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
re-
sponsible decisions.
Two, three, and four year academic scholarships are available. Benefits include full tu-
and
the first two years of ROTC and are eligible to
enter direcdy into the Advanced Course. There
are a variety of options available to qualify students for the Advanced Course who did not
take ROTC their first two years. Students belonging to the Army Reserve or National Guard
are also eligible for the Simultaneous Membership Program.
Army ROTC also offers a ranger team for
students who wish to gain more experience in
outdoor activities such as orienteering and survival skills.
Students who successfully complete the
curriculum receive a commission as a
Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, Army
Reserve, or National Guard. Time served on
active duty varies, dependent upon the type of
program the student elects. Students can be
guaranteed Reserve or National Guard duty if

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 and
the principles guiding effective education in
music. This goal is supported by a number of
course offerings (classroom music courses in
appreciation, skill development, music history, style
and

Program offerings include: a Bachelor of
—
Arts in Music
a liberal arts-oriented preparation for studio teaching and postbaccalaureate study; a choice of audio recording, per-
formance or music history specializations; 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 either in
—
music (22 semester hours) or 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 or 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 Chamber Singers.
Enrollment in an ensemble is based on invitation or successful audition. The ensembles are
described as courses 35.106 through 35.112.
Private lessons in voice, organ, piano,
strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion are
available to qualified students. Eight semester
hours of private instruction may be earned in
eight fall/spring semesters, 1 6 semester hours
for music majors. (For voice, contact Drs. Nelson or Miller; for organ. Nelson; for piano,
Couch; for class piano, Stokes or Couch; for
woodwinds and percussion, Oxley; for brass,
Wallace; and for strings, Jelinek and Stokes.)
Each performance ensemble carries both
a lower division and an upper division course
number; the latter indicates enrollment from
\
the fourth semester of participation. The upper division course number is always a 300 level number. Similarly each applied studio in-j
struction (private lesson) carries two division
course numbers, the upper division number
indicating enrollment from the third semester of study.
A limited number of music scholarships are

The profession of health physics is devoted
to the protection of people and their environment from potential radiation hazards, while
at the same time making it possible for our
advancing civilization to enjoy all the benefits
resulting from the controlled use of radiation.
Health physicists are employed in industrial
laboratories, medical centers,
and government
agencies.
The Bachelor of Science in Health Physics
provides a sound background of courses in
physics, mathematics, chemistry and biology,
as well as specialized courses in health physics. Modern laboratories introduce students to
state-of-the-art instrumentation and advanced
techniques of measurement. An internship
course provides experience of the application
of health physics in industrial, medical, or government environments. The progrjim provides
the qualifications needed for direct entry into
the practicing profession or into graduate
school for greater specialization in health physics.

Goals and Objectives
The department offers courses
in all the
major subfields of political science for students
who wish to acquire a thorough understanding of the
art,
science, theories, processes,
structures of governments
and
and
politics.
Introductory courses are designed for both
majors and non-majors. The importance of
government and politics (locally, regionally,
nationally, and internationally) clearly points
to political science as a critical
element
in the
education of any university student.
Advanced courses are offered for students
who need in-depth study and specialized subject matter to serve as a foundation for careers
liberal
in politics, law, public administration,
commu-
nity service, international relations, criminal
justice,
communications, or teaching.
All courses attempt to develop the student's
read carefully, communicate effectivethink critically, analyze logically, and research thoroughly. A balance is sought between
abstract concepts and theories on the one hand
and concrete structures, processes, and applications on the other. Field work and internships give students an opportunity to apply

Goals and Objectives
The programs in allied health sciences encompass health areas in which individuals support, aid, and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of other health professionals by
becoming a contributing member of a health
care team. These programs combine natural
science and liberal arts education with clinical
instruction. In general, students who complete
any of the programs enter their professions
immediately. Others may select postgraduate
education in health care. Central to most alprograms, especially the clinical

Program of Study
Radiological technologists are allied health
professionals who have expertise in the operation of X-ray equipment and the preparation
of patients for various diagnostic procedures.
Many clinically educated technologists pursue
a variety of careers, often in managerial or
teaching roles within their disciplines. In order to meet the varying needs of radiological
technologists, the program offers a means of
entering Bloomsburg at an advanced entry level and allows students to select a group of courses comprising either a management emphasis
or an education emphasis.
Students entering at this advanced level are
awarded 30 to 60 semester hours for satisfactory completion of an AMA-approved program
and the passing of the ARRT examination. It
is assumed that many advanced level students
will be part time and will require more than
two years to complete the program. The required third and fourth year courses comprise
an allied health core similar to that taken by
other allied health majors. Although advanced
entry is most common, other academic pathways exist for this program. For details, students
should contact their adviser.

for graduate study. The program provides students the opportunity to explore the causes of
social problems with respect to race, class, gender, crime, the political economy, age, health,
work, punishment, victimization, and deviance.
Students are encouraged to think critically
about the structure and dynamics of social
groups, institutions, ideology, and the society.

Degree Program
Bachelor of Science in Speech Pathology
and Audiology
A total of 51
semester hours is required for
a major in speech pathology and audiology.
Goals and Objectives
The preprofessional curriculum in communication disorders prepares students for admission to graduate education in speech pathology and audiology.
The department makes no
recommendation for any type of certification
based on the completion of the undergraduate preprofessional curriculum.
A
core of re-
quired courses is prerequisite to graduate
school admission and is based on the Ameri-
(ASLHA)
accreditation/certification require-
ments.
Courses in the undergraduate preprofessional curriculum in speech pathology and
audiology are open to all university students
(majors and non-majors) who are interested
in hearing science, speech science, normal lan-
guage and communication development and/
or disorders. Courses in the curriculum can be
elected by students in teacher preparation
(i.e.,
childhood, elementary, secondary or
special education or education of the hearing
impaired) who want to gain competencies related to the special problems of teaching children with speech, language, and hearing impairments. The curriculum offers a general
education course concerning the processes,
functions, and pathologies of human commuearly
nication.
The preprofessional curriculum provides
the student with a broad general education
background. The primary emphasis is on general education with a few introductory courses
pertaining to the profession of speech pathology and audiology. No professional courses or
experiences are offered at the undergraduate
level (i.e., student teaching).
Admission to the graduate programs in audiology and speech pathology is competitive
and limited. Graduates of the master's degree
program
in
speech pathology and audiology
are eligible for certification in speech correction granted by the Pennsylvania Department
of Education, the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology or Speech Pathology issued by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Assocation (ASLHA) and licensure in audiology or speech pathology issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
