History
An academy "to teach youth the elements
of a classical education" was established in
Bloomsburg in 1839. The academy continued with varied fortunes until 1856 when a
charter was prepared and stock issued to
reorganize it as the Bloomsburg Literary
Institute. Institute Hall, later renamed Carver Hall after Henry Carver, an early principal, architect, and teacher, was erected in
1867. Today, the gold-domed, red-brick

was made in the teacher education program,
and a new degree program in business education 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. During 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
6,812 undergraduates in 1996.

requirements as stated at the beginning of
the course descriptions for each of the 19
departments in Arts and Sciences. Several
programs have more than one option for
fulfilling the major requirements. In addition to achieving an in-depth understanding of an academic discipline by completing the requirements of a major, students
may gain knowledge in a second area by
completing the minor requirements of that
discipline. Each academic minor consists of
a minimum of 18 semester hours of courses. The following disciplines offer academic
necessary for the preparation for any particular profession. Degree programs lead to
a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts,
or both.
Bloomsburg University was first authorized to offer the Bachelor of Arts in 1960
and the Bachelor of Science in 1963. Today,
the college comprises about a third of the
students and two thirds of the faculty at
minors: anthropology, art studio, art history, biology, computer science, economics,
English, French, geography, history, mathematics, music, philosophy, physics, political
science, psychology, sociology, and Spanish.

Science provides the opportunity for a liberal education together with a specialization
in a number of fields in the natural sciences. Liberal arts graduates are prepared for a

in-depth individualized study in a topic of
special value or interest to the student. A limited number of independent study offerings
are available each semester. Students interested in applying for independent study
should develop a written proposal with their
faculty sponsor. The proposed number of
semester hours should be indicated in the
proposal. The independent study proposal,
along with the name of the faculty sponsor,
is submitted to the appropriate department
for recommendation, then to the dean for
final approval.
Academic Departments
The College of
Arts and Sciences includes 19 academic departments. Chairpersons are elected on a
three-year cycle and departments with more
than 15 faculty members also name an assistant chairperson. During summer sessions,
a faculty member is designated as the summer chair. While most departments enjoy
full-time secretarial support, some departments share clerical staff and rely on parttime and student help. The academic departments in arts and sciences include:

University
Honors Program
The University Honors 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, superior intellectual ability, set high
standards for themselves, and who plan to
seriously pursue a quality college education.
The honors curriculum fosters the
growth of intellectual independence, creativity
and
initiative;
enhance
ing and problem-solving
interpretative abilities
analytical think-
augment
and communication
abilities;
skills; and develop a sense of "common
bonding." Students get a variety of courses
and course designs including symposia, forums, independent study, and experiential
study that require extensive reading, writing,
and in-depth study and research. Honors
courses are taught by university faculty des-
ignated because of distinguished scholarship, outstanding performance as teachers,
and
ability to relate to students.
The program requires
the completion of
24 semester hours of general education credit in designated honors courses within the
first two academic years. The remainder of
courses in these years is selected from regucourse offerings to satisfy major, minor,
and other general education requirements.
lar
Honors
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
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 stuspecial
dents experience including residence hall
living, a wide array of cultural activities, campus leadership opportunities, sports events,
and other co-curricular programs.
Program eligibility requires a minimum
of 1 100 SAT and rank in the top 20 percent
of high school class. 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, personal characteristics and extracurricular involvement are important in the selection
process.
Students admitted to the University HonProgram must maintain a minimum cumulative 3.0 QPA. Students who do not attain this QPA in the first semester will be
retained provisionally in the program with
the stipulation that the 3.0 QPA must be attained overall before the sophomore year.
At the completion of the program, a student who has maintained a minimum QPA
of 3.50 or higher will be designated a university scholar on his/her permanent record
and on the diploma upon graduation.
At the end of the sophomore year, students can apply to the upper-level honors
ors
program in their major discipline to continue in enhanced academic programs during
their final two years.

the Office of Admissions. There is an application fee of $25. To qualify, an applicant
must hold a bachelor's degree from a regionally-accredited college or university.

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania provides
approximately $5,052 per full-time equivalent student to the State System of Higher

and out-of-state tuition reflects this support.

Pennsylvania residents pay an extra $140 per
semester hour and out-of-state residents pay
a $357.

Normal Load and Overload
The normal course load of a student in
any semester is 16 semester hours. A student
in good standing is limited to 18 semester
hours, unless he or she receives permission
for an overload by his or her academic adviser. A quality point average (QPA) of 3.0
or higher is required of the student before
permission can be granted for an overload.
If the QPA is less than 3.0, then approval of
the department chairperson is required.
A student who is making minimum
progress toward academic good standing or
who is on academic probation may schedule no more than 16 semester hours. (See
the section
on Academic Probation.)
A stu-
dent who has been reinstated upon appeal
of academic dismissal is limited to scheduling 13 semester hours. (See the section on
Appeals.)

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 listed 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.
Course Repeat Policy
A maximum of four courses
(not

D or E have been recorded may be repeated. The initial grade remains on the transcript and is part of the student's permanent
during the
first
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

Diagnostic Testing Program
Policy
This policy applies to testing that is not a
part of the admissions procedure or course
requirements. The director 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 predict-
ed
QPA
than 2.5 will be given diagnosStudents 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 weak.
Results of these tests will be released to faculty and staff on a need-to-know basis only
for diagnostic evaluation and remediation
of the individual tested and/or evaluation
of the testing program. This information will
be released with appropriate interpretation
to students and to other agencies as the student permits. These data may be released
without student permission for research
purposes with student anonymity 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
considered 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 accommodative services, tutorial labs, and the College Study Skills

Student Outcomes Assessment
The university is committed to the continuous improvement of its programs and
services. In an on-going effort to monitor
the quality and effectiveness of these programs and services, the university routinely
conducts campus-based studies of student
attitudes, student achievement, student satisfaction, and personal, professional and
career development. These studies are
grouped under the heading of student outcomes assessment.

Credit by Examination
A student may receive a maximum
of 64

If the student passes the examination, the
grade of "P" is assigned for the course. If
he/she fails, no record is made. This course
does not count in the student's normal quota of pass-fail courses.
Suitable adaptations of the above procedures may be used to validate transfer courses taken in non-accredited colleges. No fee
is charged for examination to validate such
credit. Examinations may be based upon

be given where applicable only during the
designated final examination week after the
end of regularly scheduled classes and only
at the designated time and place according
to the final examination schedule.
Faculty will distribute in writing the requirements for each course within the first
week of each academic term. In these re-
quirements, final examinations shall be
worth no less than 20 percent nor more than
40 percent of the course grade. No single
exam, paper, project, or assignment shall
have greater emphasis than the final examination. As a result of this condition, every
course must use at least three evaluations
for grading purposes.
Faculty will give final examinations, which
are comprehensive in design, emphasizing
subject matter presented over the entire
term.
Faculty will return and/or permit students to review all unit tests, quizzes, and
other types of evaluations by the last regularly scheduled class in the term. In order
to prevent an excessive build-up in the number of unit tests for each student during the
last week of classes, faculty are advised to

announced at the first meeting of the class.
Except in unusual circumstances, classes in
six-week sessions shall have the final examination on the last day of the course. Final
examinations for courses scheduled in threeweek sessions shall be held during the last
of the two class periods scheduled for the

Faculty who wish to schedule quizzes,
tests, or examinations at times other than
during their regularly scheduled class periods during the term may do so only if a
make-up opportunity is made available to
students. This opportunity must be scheduled at a time mutually acceptable to both
student and faculty and may not conflict with
the student's other scheduled classes. A faculty member shall not give an examination
at a time other than during a regularly scheduled class period unless approval is first obtained from the majorit)' of the faculty members of his/her academic department. Ex-
Student opinion in this matter will be determined by secret ballot with the faculty
member in charge of the vote. If for some
reason a change is made in the time and date

during the examination period.

majority of the members of his or her academic department and college dean. Notification of the approved arrangement shall
be given to the Office of the Registrar. Except for abnormal circumstances, the approval and notification shall be made by the
end of the first week of classes.
To change the requirement specifying
that final examinations shall be worth no less

Grading Policies
Recording Grades
At the end of a semester or summer sesgrade 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
sion, the final
grades of D plus, D and E are reported to
degree students with 32 and fewer semester
hours earned. These grades are not permanently recorded.
Definition of Grades
Grades given at Bloomsburg University,
with their commensurate quality points, are
as follows:
A=
4.00 (superior attainment)
A- = 3.67
B+ = 3.33 (above average attainment)
B - 3.00
B- = 2.67
C+ = 2.33
C = 2.00 (average attainment)
C-=1.67
D+
= 1.33
= 1.00 (minimum attainment)
E = 0.00 (failure)
The grades given to each student for academic credit at Bloomsburg University are
assigned by those faculty who are responsible for the course in which the student is
D
33
enrolled.
Other Grades
Incomplete is a temporary grade given only when an instructor believes a student has been unable to complete course
requirements due to circumstances beyond
I -
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 deadine of
the plan on file in the Office of the Registrar. The student must present suitable doc-
umentation
to the instructor indicating that
circumstances above and beyond individual
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.
P - Passed. This grade is recorded when a
student takes a course on a pass-fail basis and
does work which would lead to a grade of D
or higher. The grade of P also is recorded
when
a course is passed by proficiency examination and when a student receives a
passing grade in a non-credit course or
cocurricular activity such as musical ensembles, theater
and
forensics.
F - Failed This grade is recorded when a
student takes a course on a pass-fail basis and
does work which would lead to a grade of E.
The grade of F
also
dent receives a
failing
is
recorded when a stugrade in a non-credit
course for a cocurricular activity.
R - Research. This grade is assigned by
the instructor only when a student has been
unable to complete a research component
of a course because the length of time for
the research exceeds the end of semester
and when a formal plan for completion of
the research is filed with the instructor and
the chairperson. Provisions for removal of
the grade are 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 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 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.

Grades of A, B, C, D, or E are translated into

If subsequent to completion of a course
on a pass-fail basis the student changes his/
her major to one in which the original grade
is required, the student may request that the
chairperson of the academic department be
notified of the actual letter grade earned.
A student who has received a grade of E

A student may revoke
a decision to take

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

Full-time, continuously enrolled undergraduate degree students, in order to maintain satisfactory progress toward the completion of a degree, must earn a minimum of
24 semester hours in any given 12-month
period (including semester hours earned in
developmental studies courses).
Part-time

stu-
dents, in order to maintain satisfactory
progress within 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:
Total Hours Earned (Includes Grades of
P and transfer credits) Cumulative QPA Required for Minimal Progress

A student who has been meeting the requirement for at least two consecutive grading periods immediately prior to a grading
period in which his/her cumulative QPA
drops below but within 0.1 of the cumulative QPA required for minimal progress;
A full-time freshman or transfer student
who was making minimal progress toward
good standing at the end of the second grading period is below but within 0.1 of that
required for minimal progress toward good
standing;
A readmitted student who was formerly
dismissed for academic deficiency who at the
close of the first grading period has not regained minimal academic progress or good
standing;
A full-time student who failed to earn 24
semester hours within one 12-month period;
A part-time student who failed to earn
the minimum number of semester hours as
prescribed above within the given semester.
Academic Dismissal
A student who at any final
grading perinot 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" without first being placed on aca-

on Readmission.
Students failing to meet the minimal requirements of earned credit hours and/or
QPA will be notified by the Office of the
Registrar.
Appeals
A student under
"academic dismissal"
may petition the Academic Review Board for
reinstatement. If reinstatement is granted,
the conditions of reinstatement are indicated including an enrollment limit of 13 semester hours for a specified period of time.
The student's record also is marked "committee reinstated." If the student does not
attain good standing or is not making mini-
36
mal progress toward academic good standing by the end of the period granted by the
conditions of reinstatement, he or she is
excluded from further registration, and
her/his record
is
again
marked "academic
dismissal."
If
the student elects to attend the sum-
mer
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
described in the undergraduate catalog.
Minor
A minor field of study consists
of a minimum of 18 hours, at least 15 of

Schedule changes for all students in the
Department of Developmental Instruction,
with less than 32 earned credits, require the
approval of the Department of Developmental Instruction. Schedule adjustments for students on academic probation, reinstatement
and minimal academic progress require the
approval of the academic adviser.
Late Registration
A student may register late until the close

When
the substitution of transfer credit
is in question because

Correspondence courses are subject to
acceptance to a total that does not exceed
15 semester hours if taken from a college or

Courses taken in another institution on
a pass-fail basis are acceptable for transfer
as free electives if they conform to the conditions for such grades at Bloomsburg University. A student applying to transfer courses must fulfill the provisions of the sections
on residence requirement and graduation
requirements.
Credits from other institutions accredited by one of the regional accrediting associations earned by a Bloomsburg degree student will transfer provided approvals are
obtained first from the student's adviser and

can be obtained from the registrar. Upon
completion of a course, it is the student's
responsibility to provide the registrar with

of at least 128 semester hours in the major,

section deals with general education; re-
quirements for each major are listed under
department headings. While electives are
unrestricted,
it's
helpful to consult with a
faculty adviser.
When a student makes a tentative choice

if the student is not admissible according to
the competition for available spaces or other selective criteria.
Students who plan to major in two departments must have a major adviser in each
department and meet all of the major requirements of each department and all of
the general education requirements. Double majors in some departments may require
more than the minimum 128 semester hours
for graduation. Double majors in departments in two colleges must have the permission of both college deans to declare a double major.

About the Program
The programs in allied health sciences
encompass 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 genstudents 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 clinieral,
cal standards, often referred to as the Essentials.

Anthropology, in common with other sciences, is concerned with the formulation and
testing of hypotheses or tentative explanations of observed human phenomenon.
Anthropology also has an important humanistic tradition. At Bloomsburg University,
anthropology is divided into three study areas: cultural anthropology, which studies
ways of life in societies across the world;
physical anthropology, which traces human
and biological variability; and archaewhich seeks to explain human behavior by studying material remains from past
cultures. The Department of Anthropology's

The
desire
study of art requires both an inner
a firm technical basis to support
and
the artist's growth throughout life. The art
department is dedicated to providing an ideal environment for the nurturing of this development within the confines of a liberal
arts education. Art professors are commit-
ted to excellence in teaching as well as actively involved in their own field of expertise. 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 cul-
and nationalities.
The studio is used as
tures
a means of giving
the student a chance to develop skills
through mediums of visual expression that
will lead to statements of personal worth.
51
Competency is expected within the electronmedia as well as the traditional means for
ic
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, interaction with the faculty and use of facilities on campus are im-

tend to pursue advanced degrees in chembiochemistry, or related disciplines or
who anticipate a career in the chemical industry are encouraged to take the Bachelor

A recent survey by the
American Chemical Society finds that the
median annual salary of entry level chemists is over $28,000. The program at Bloomsburg is recognized as offering high quality
preprofessional training for careers in research, industry, education, medicine, and
allied health professions. Since not all chemists are employed in a laboratory environ-

core requirement. The first is the standard
Bachelor's of Science Degree (B.S.) The second is the B.S.-ACS degree, which is certified to meet the standards for undergraduate professional training by the American
Chemical Society. Students who intend to
pursue advanced degrees in chemistry, biochemistry, or related disciplines or who anticipate a career in the chemical industry and
research are encouraged to take our B.S.-
ACS program.
Students in this program will culminate
their studies by conducting an independent
research project in collaboration with a faculty member. These individual research
projects may be part of a larger research
program by the faculty member and may
lead to a presentation or publication with
the student as a co-author. This experience
is extremely valuable if the student decides
to go to graduate school.
Students who wish to qualify for Honors
in Chemistry must take the B.S.-ACS course
of study and three semesters of undergraduate research.
Students meeting the requirements for
the ACS-approved Bachelor of Science in
Chemistry, with the department's assistance,
are certified by the American Chemical Society
and become

eligible for
try,
ultra-centrifugation, light scattering, vac-

to develop information systems for the
business environment, they differ significantly in emphasis. (For information on the
Management Information Systems program,
see the section on Management Information
Systems.)
The CIS curriculum prepares students in
the development, operation and maintenance of computer-based information systems for the business environment. The program's focus centers on commercial software
and hardware with an emphasis on problem
solving, system analysis and design, data
management, data communications and
software development within a commercial
context.
CIS has a strong technical emphasis.
While students are required to take courses
in economics, accounting, and other areas
of business, the majority of the required
course work is in computer and information
science. Students work in a variety of environments including networked micro-computers and workstations, multiuser minicomputers, and mainframes. The program prepares business students for positions such as:
application programmer, programmer-analyst, systems analyst, data base administrator,
and information
specialist.

Generic Role Competencies
The teacher education faculty believe
that for successful teaching to occur, the
teacher must perform effectively in a number of different roles. The teacher also must
command functional knowledge in appropriate content area(s) as well as in cognate
disciphnes with direct or related significance
for the act of teaching. Six generic role competencies and 15 related cognate strands
have been identified as central to the preparation of candidates in teacher education
programs
at

procedure for considering the problems of
certification candidates can be found in the
section of the catalog dealing with academic grievances. As of June 1987, all individuals seeking teacher certification in Pennsylvania are required to pass state mandated
tests at levels determined by the Secretary
of Education. The tests assess basic skills,
general knowledge, knowledge of subjects
in which certification is sought, and professional knowledge. Students must pass the
specialty test for each area of certification.
An initial certificate is designated as Instructional Level I. It is valid for six years. A Level
I certificate is not subject to renewal beyond
a total of six years after the individual be-
ciprocal credentials in other states. Participating states currently include: Alabama,
California, Connecticut, Delaware, District
of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia,
Washington and West Virginia. This list is
updated as additional states complete the
contract process. Other states may be willing to grant reciprocity. Graduates of Pennsylvania-approved programs are advised to
contact the teacher certification office in the
state in which they wish to obtain certification for application forms and instructions.
The names and addresses of the appropriate officials should be available in most college placement offices.

(learning disabled, mentally retarded, seriously emotionally disturbed and physically
handicapped). Students may also acquire a
concentration for the education of the deaf/
hard of hearing.
Students enrolled in special education
have the opportunity to student teach in the
following settings: public schools, approved
private schools, preschools, state centers,
adjudicated environments and hospitals.
Student teaching placements are in the following counties: Carbon, Columbia, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lackawanna, Lehigh,
Snyder, Union and Sullivan.
Students entering the university who have
declared special education as their major are
advised by faculty in the Department of Communication Disorders and Special Education. They begin taking courses in the major in the first semester of the freshman year
and generally enroll in at least or more one
89
special education course every semester
thereafter.
Adjustments are
made
quence of courses which
in the
above seneeds
reflect the
of students who desire to take less or more
semester hours of work than the average student. Transfers (internal and external), readmitted students, adult learners, and parttime students make it necessary to make
adjustments in scheduling. Students who
have the necessary requirements complete
their student teaching the first semester and
return to campus to complete their General Education requirements for graduation.
Students who enroll in summer school could
possibly graduate early or reduce the number of semester hours taken during the academic year. Students seeking dual certification (Special Education/Elementary Education or Early Childhood Education) often
enroll in
summer
sessions.

The engineering and liberal arts program
provides the opportunity for students to
pursue a rewarding and challenging career
in the high-demand field of engineering
without forgoing the broader scope of a
Bloomsburg University educational experience. This cooperative program of study
leads to two baccalaureate degrees, one in
liberal arts and sciences awarded by Bloomsburg University and one in an area of engineering from either The Pennsylvania State
University or Wilkes University.
Candidates for these degrees spend three
years at Bloomsburg University, where they
study science, mathematics, pre-engineering, and a broad variety of liberal arts subjects, followed by two years at the University
Park campus of Penn State or at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, where they study
engineering disciplines.
Students may pursue an engineering education in any of the following areas:
Aerospace Engineering (Penn State)
Agricultural Engineering (Penn State)
Ceramic Science and Engineering (Penn
State)
Chemical Engineering (Penn State)
Civil Engineering (Penn State)

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 enrollment in
53.125, the initial course in the required
calculus sequence, during the first semester
of study.
Applicants for admission who previously
were registered as degree candidates and
established an academic record as degree
candidates at 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 Uni-
versity.
Students should indicate a desire to follow this program of study at the time of admission to Bloomsburg University in order
to ensure 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 schedule planning. At the end of the second year
of study, students become candidates for
transfer if they have maintained a sufficiently
high QPA.
Transferring to The Pennsylvania State University: In September of the third year of
study, students should apply for transfer to
sion to
Penn
State for the following
fall se-
mester.
Completed applications should be supported by the following documentation:
An official transcript of the applicant's
final secondary school grades; Two official
transcripts of the applicant's Bloomsburg
University academic record including all
grades earned; A schedule of all courses to
be taken in the third year; A letter of recommendation from the Pre-Engineering
Advisory Committee.
At the end of the third year of study, two
copies of the student's official Bloomsburg
University transcript should be forwarded to
the Admissions Office of The Pennsylvania
State University. Students
who have main-
tained the required quality point average,
who have completed all required courses,
and who are recommended by the Pre-Engineering Advisory Committee, will be offered permanent admission to Penn State.
Transferring to Wilkes University: At the
beginning of the third year of study, students
should apply for transfer to Wilkes University through the coordinator of the program
at Bloomsburg University. Applications are
available in the coordinator's office.
Completed applications should be supported by the following credentials:
An official transcript of the applicant's
final secondary school grades; An official
Bloomsburg University transcript of the applicant's grades including all grades earned
during the first two years; A schedule of all
courses to be taken during the third year.
The Pre-Engineering Advisory Committee reviews these credentials and submits a
recommendation to the dean of admissions
of Wilkes University. Successful applicants
will be offered provisional admission to

About the Program
The Department of Computer and Information Systems in the College of Business
offers two baccalaureate degree programs:
Computer and Information Science
(CIS) and Management Information Systems (MIS).
While both programs involve learning
how to develop information systems for the
business environment, they differ significantly in emphasis.
(MIS) major provides both a broad background in business as well as an in-depth
knowledge of the process of system development. Students gain a familiarity with the
functions of management, accounting, marketing, and finance.
Specialized courses focus on problem
solving techniques, structured programming, systems analysis and design, and the
process of developing managerial computer applications.
The program stresses the importance of
computer skills. Students learn a variety of
programming languages and work on a
platforms, in-
cluding networked microcomputers, workstations, and multiuser minicomputers and
mainframe systems.
The program prepares students for professional employment in the areas of system
development and maintenance, information
resource management, management of information systems, and end user computing
support.

student productions such as The Voice,
Bloom News, Spectrum magazine, and a
range of other campus communications activities. Recommended Preparation High
school students interested in communication-related careers should become involved
in school media. These media can include
newspapers, yearbooks, magazines, radio,
video or television production and programs.
The committed student can gain valuable
experience through volunteer efforts with
community groups such as chambers of commerce, tourism offices, and other non-profit
organizations.
Admission Requirements - Admission to the
mass communications program is by application to the chair and is limited to approximately 60 students, who should have
achieved a cumulative grade point average
of 2.5 or higher. Acceptance into the program depends, however, not only on the
QPA, but also on past experience and potential.
Students should exhibit strong writing,
and creative qualities and a record of
interest and participation in media-related
extracurricular activities. Students are encouraged to make a case for their admission
in the light of previous experience even if
they feel their QPAs may not alone justify

In the bachelor of science program, students select an area of concentration in their
junior year to develop proficiency in an area
of applied mathematics.
Many students choose ajoint program in
mathematics and computer science, mathematics and statistics or mathematics and an
area of business or physical sciences. A student majoring in education who chooses an
area of concentration in mathematics essentially follows the bachelor of arts program
in mathematics.
The department strongly supports the implementation of mathematical and statistical software throughout all the mathemati-
117
cal programs. Students who complete a degree program in mathematics are prepared
to continue their studies of mathematics on
the graduate level or to enter industry in an
area where mathematics is used.
For admission to the major in mathematics, a student should have a thorough preparation in high school mathematics. Students who complete the Advanced Placement Examination with a score of 3 or higher may earn university credit for the first

About the Program
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 allied health programs,
especially the clinical portion,
is
satisfacto-
119
ry completion of the clinical standards, often referred to as the Essentials. These standards establish requirements related to cur-
riculum, personnel, financing, resources,
and records.
Medical imagers are allied health professionals who have expertise in the operation of imaging equipment and the preparation of patients for various diagnostic procedures. These procedures may include
competencies in radiography, nuclear medicine, sonography, radiation therapy and
cross sectional imagery. Additionally, many
clinically educated radiographers pursue
careers in managereial or teaching roles
within their disciplines. To meet the varying needs of medical imagers, the program
offers an assortment of academic pathways

About the Program
The programs in allied health sciences
encompass 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 Essentials.
These standards establish requirements
related to curriculum, personnel, financing,
and records.
Program of Study- The medical technology program consists of a minimum of 96
resources,
semester hours of coursework prescribed by
the university, followed by one calendar year
of clinical education in a medical technology program accredited nationally by the
National Accrediting Agency for Clinical
Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS).
Students enrolling in the curriculum
leading to the Bachelor of Science will be
admitted under the same policy governing
other 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 detersolely by the institution where the
mined
clinical
work
is
done. The university cannot
121
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 Clinical Laboratory Scientists
(C.L.S.)
(NCA).
A student who
fails to
gain admission to
a clinical program at the end of the junior
year (3+1 program) or wishes to complete a
degree 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 medical technology program
select an option in microbiology. This option is detailed in the section on Biology.

privilege of establishing credit through a
comprehensive exam instead of through
registration and class attendance. Eligibility
to petition is based upon student presentation or evidence of adequate experience
with the course content through experience
other than college attendance or through
independent study of the course content.
In the nursing department, the courses
which the student may petition for credit by
examination are 82.211 Nutridon, 82.212
Pharmacology, 82.214 Health Assessment
and 82.215 Pathophysiology for Nursing

About the Program
The Department of Philosophy offers a
broad range of courses designed to provide
both a general acquaintance with the issues
and methods of philosophy as well as a solid
foundation for advanced work in the discipline. In all of its courses, the department
seeks to encourage students to develop their
thinking skills, by engaging them with the
best minds of the past and present, by challenging them to examine and to criticize the
arguments of others, and by leading them
to question their own values and commitments.
Regardless of topic or level of difficulty,
philosophy courses provide a unique opportunity to acquire and to practice a variety of
valuable skills, such as the ability to solve
problems, to communicate effectively, and
to assess the strength and cogency of opposing arguments and proposed plans of action.
The five-member department offers both
a major and a minor in philosophy, and also
supports the university's liberal arts mission

About the Program
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 required courses is prerequisite to
graduate school admission and
is
based on
145
the American Speech-Language-Hearing
Association (ASLHA) accreditation/certification requirements.
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 language and communication develop-
ment and/or
disorders.
Courses in the curriculum can be elected by students in teacher preparation (i.e.,
early 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,

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

Program of Study
Required Courses
This advanced entry degree program is
available to health workers who have obtained a clinical education from an accredited health agency and who desire additional education in communicative and interpersonal skills. Its initiation was encouraged by
the fact that many certified health workers
are now being strongly encouraged to continue their education in a collegiate setting.
The role of the health worker has expanded to include greater responsibility in
the hospital and nursing home setting as well
as a more substantial commitment to improving community health. The program
attracts medical laboratory technicians, licensed practical nurses, histologic technicians, and laboratory assistants, i.e., those
workers who have satisfactorily completed
the equivalent of one year's clinical education.
es
Most students in the program take courson a part-time basis and require more
than two years to complete the curriculum.
Candidates for the associate degree must
have satisfactorily completed 22 semester
hours of coursework, maintained a minimum QPA of 2.0, and have proof of satisfactory completion of a clinical program.
Awarding of this associate degree is contingent upon the student being accepted for
candidacy and completion of the program
while maintaining good academic standing.

a minimum of 18 semester hours of courses. The following disciplines offer academic
necessary for the preparation for any particular profession. Degree programs lead to
a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts,

Bloomsburg University was first authorized to offer the Bachelor of Arts in 1960
and the Bachelor of Science in 1963. Today,
the college comprises about a third of the
students and two thirds of the faculty at
minors: anthropology, art studio, art history, biology, computer science, economics,
English, French, geography, history, mathematics, music, philosophy, physics, political
science, psychology, sociology, and Spanish.

Opportunity Programs
These programs equalize educational opportunity for students regardless of their eco-
nomic background or status. Anyone with a
secondary school diploma or certificate of
equivalency is eligible to apply for admission
to these programs. Non-traditional criteria
are applied in predicting 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 participate in a summer program prior to the
first semester of their attendance, where

Early Admission
Outstanding students may be considered
for admission before secondary school graduation. In addition to strong achievement
and high aptitude, applicants for early admission must have the endorsement of their
secondary school to receive consideration.
College credit earned may apply toward the
requirements for a secondary school diploma. Students interested in early admission
must arrange an interview with the Director
of Admissions.
University
Honors Program
The University Honors 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, superior intellectual ability, set high
standards for themselves, and who plan to
seriously pursue a quality college education.
The honors curriculum fosters the
growth of intellectual independence, creativity
and
initiative;
enhance
ing and problem-solving
interpretative abilities
analytical think-
augment
and communication
abilities;
skills; and develop a sense of "common
bonding." Students get a variety of courses
and course designs including symposia, forums, independent study, and experiential
study that require extensive reading, writing,
and in-depth study and research. Honors
courses are taught by university faculty des-
ignated because of distinguished scholarship, outstanding performance as teachers,
and
ability to relate to students.
The program requires
the completion of
24 semester hours of general education credit in designated honors courses within the
first two academic years. The remainder of
courses in these years is selected from regucourse offerings to satisfy major, minor,
and other general education requirements.
lar
Honors
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
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 stuspecial
dents experience including residence hall
living, a wide array of cultural activities, campus leadership opportunities, sports events,
and other co-curricular programs.
Program eligibility requires a minimum
of 1 100 SAT and rank in the top 20 percent
of high school class. 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, personal characteristics and extracurricular involvement are important in the selection
process.
Students admitted to the University HonProgram must maintain a minimum cumulative 3.0 QPA. Students who do not attain this QPA in the first semester will be
retained provisionally in the program with
the stipulation that the 3.0 QPA must be attained overall before the sophomore year.
At the completion of the program, a student who has maintained a minimum QPA
of 3.50 or higher will be designated a university scholar on his/her permanent record
and on the diploma upon graduation.
At the end of the sophomore year, students can apply to the upper-level honors
ors
program in their major discipline to continue in enhanced academic programs during
their final two years.
Transfer Students

at the time of application is enrolled in another college or university is a transfer applicant. Transfer admission occurs three

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 a regionally accredited two-year college.

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 a regionally-accredited college or university.

part of the 30-semester-hour requirement
for completion of the second degree.
The applicant must provide the department chairperson from the discipline 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

About Tuition
Tuition (also
known as
the basic fee) cov-
you will
take, but does
not cover books and supplies.
Tuition is established annually by the
State System of Higher Education board of
ers the cost of courses
governors, usually in July, after the state legislature determines support levels for higher education in the commonwealth. The
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania provides
approximately $5,052 per full-time equivalent student to the State System of Higher
Education in support of each student's education, and the difference between in-state
and out-of-state tuition reflects this support.
Tuition is the same for all 14 State System of Higher Education universities.
For course loads over 18 semester hours,
Pennsylvania residents pay an extra $140 per
semester hour and out-of-state residents pay
a $357.
Tuition Refunds

Normal Load and Overload
The normal course load of a student in
any semester is 16 semester hours. A student
in good standing is limited to 18 semester
hours, unless he or she receives permission
for an overload by his or her academic adviser. A quality point average (QPA) of 3.0
or higher is required of the student before
permission can be granted for an overload.
If the QPA is less than 3.0, then approval of
the department chairperson is required.
A student who is making minimum
progress toward academic good standing or
who is on academic probation may schedule no more than 16 semester hours. (See
the section
on Academic Probation.)
A stu-
dent who has been reinstated upon appeal
of academic dismissal is limited to scheduling 13 semester hours. (See the section on
Appeals.)
Auditing of Courses

is included in these figures.
For purposes of social and housing privi-
freshman
papers or examinations are accepted by the
instructor for grading or recording either
during the period of enrollment or subsequent thereto. An auditor may not participate in laboratory or studio work if such
work is part of the course audited.
A part-time student may register as an au-
28
ditor subject to the provision that when
com-
puting the fee paid by the student, the
course audited will be counted the same as
if it were taken for credit. Individuals who
are not enrolled as students may apply for
audit privileges through the dean of the
School of Continuing and Distance Education. Acceptance depends upon such factors
as space in class and educational background.
Graduate Courses

Seniors needing fewer than 18 semester
hours of coursework to satisfy requirements
for a baccalaureate degree may, with approval of a department chairperson, apply to the
assistant vice president for graduate studies
and research in the School of Graduate Studies for permission to supplement undergraduate courses with graduate courses. Credit
for graduate courses is awarded upon verification of completion of the student's undergraduate degree.
Class Attendance Policy
Regular classroom attendance is expected of all students. A student will be afforded
reasonable assistance by a faculty member
when coursework is missed for such reasons
as:
Personal illness,
Death or critical illness in the immediate family,

A faculty member with departmental
ments, weighted average of requirements for
grade computation, and procedures for

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 listed 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.
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
during the
first
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.

Diagnostic Testing Program
Policy
This policy applies to testing that is not a
part of the admissions procedure or course
requirements. The director 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 predict-
ed
QPA
than 2.5 will be given diagnosStudents 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 weak.
Results of these tests will be released to faculty and staff on a need-to-know basis only
for diagnostic evaluation and remediation
of the individual tested and/or evaluation
of the testing program. This information will
be released with appropriate interpretation
to students and to other agencies as the student permits. These data may be released
without student permission for research
purposes with student anonymity 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
considered 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 accommodative 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.
Student Outcomes Assessment
The university is committed to the continuous improvement of its programs and
services. In an on-going effort to monitor
the quality and effectiveness of these programs and services, the university routinely
conducts campus-based studies of student
attitudes, student achievement, student satisfaction, and personal, professional and
career development. These studies are
grouped under the heading of student outcomes assessment.

Credit by Examination
A student may receive a maximum
of 64
semester hours of credit by examination or
experiential learning. Credit may be awarded for successful completion of institutional examinations and/or approved external
examinations.
A student may petition for the privilege
of establishing credit in a course or courses
amination can be administered.
If the student passes the examination, the
grade of "P" is assigned for the course. If
he/she fails, no record is made. This course
does not count in the student's normal quota of pass-fail courses.
Suitable adaptations of the above procedures may be used to validate transfer courses taken in non-accredited colleges. No fee
is charged for examination to validate such
credit. Examinations may be based upon

Academic Examination Policy
Faculty shall give examinations during
the regularly scheduled classes of the semester. The faculty are responsible for determin-
ing the length, frequency, form, and content of all examinations within the guidelines listed below. Final examinations shall
be given where applicable only during the
designated final examination week after the
end of regularly scheduled classes and only
at the designated time and place according
to the final examination schedule.
Faculty will distribute in writing the requirements for each course within the first
week of each academic term. In these re-
quirements, final examinations shall be
worth no less than 20 percent nor more than
40 percent of the course grade. No single
exam, paper, project, or assignment shall
have greater emphasis than the final examination. As a result of this condition, every
course must use at least three evaluations
for grading purposes.
Faculty will give final examinations, which
are comprehensive in design, emphasizing
subject matter presented over the entire
term.
Faculty will return and/or permit students to review all unit tests, quizzes, and
other types of evaluations by the last regularly scheduled class in the term. In order
to prevent an excessive build-up in the number of unit tests for each student during the
last week of classes, faculty are advised to

Faculty who wish to schedule quizzes,
tests, or examinations at times other than
during their regularly scheduled class periods during the term may do so only if a
make-up opportunity is made available to
students. This opportunity must be scheduled at a time mutually acceptable to both
student and faculty and may not conflict with
the student's other scheduled classes. A faculty member shall not give an examination
at a time other than during a regularly scheduled class period unless approval is first obtained from the majorit)' of the faculty members of his/her academic department. Ex-
Student opinion in this matter will be determined by secret ballot with the faculty
member in charge of the vote. If for some
reason a change is made in the time and date

majority of the members of his or her academic department and college dean. Notification of the approved arrangement shall
be given to the Office of the Registrar. Except for abnormal circumstances, the approval and notification shall be made by the
end of the first week of classes.
To change the requirement specifying
that final examinations shall be worth no less

Grading Policies
Recording Grades
At the end of a semester or summer sesgrade 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
sion, the final
grades of D plus, D and E are reported to
degree students with 32 and fewer semester
hours earned. These grades are not permanently recorded.
Definition of Grades
Grades given at Bloomsburg University,
with their commensurate quality points, are
as follows:
A=
4.00 (superior attainment)
A- = 3.67
B+ = 3.33 (above average attainment)
B - 3.00
B- = 2.67
C+ = 2.33
C = 2.00 (average attainment)
C-=1.67
D+
= 1.33
= 1.00 (minimum attainment)
E = 0.00 (failure)
The grades given to each student for academic credit at Bloomsburg University are
assigned by those faculty who are responsible for the course in which the student is
D

enrolled.
Other Grades
Incomplete is a temporary grade given only when an instructor believes a student has been unable to complete course
requirements due to circumstances beyond
I -
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 deadine of
the plan on file in the Office of the Registrar. The student must present suitable doc-
umentation
to the instructor indicating that
circumstances above and beyond individual
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.
P - Passed. This grade is recorded when a
student takes a course on a pass-fail basis and
does work which would lead to a grade of D
or higher. The grade of P also is recorded
when
a course is passed by proficiency examination and when a student receives a
passing grade in a non-credit course or
cocurricular activity such as musical ensembles, theater
and
forensics.
F - Failed This grade is recorded when a
student takes a course on a pass-fail basis and
does work which would lead to a grade of E.
The grade of F

dent receives a
failing
is
recorded when a stugrade in a non-credit
course for a cocurricular activity.
R - Research. This grade is assigned by
the instructor only when a student has been
unable to complete a research component
of a course because the length of time for
the research exceeds the end of semester
and when a formal plan for completion of
the research is filed with the instructor and
the chairperson. Provisions for removal of
the grade are 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 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 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.

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.)

Full-time, continuously enrolled undergraduate degree students, in order to maintain satisfactory progress toward the completion of a degree, must earn a minimum of
24 semester hours in any given 12-month
period (including semester hours earned in
developmental studies courses).
Part-time

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:

A student who has been meeting the requirement for at least two consecutive grading periods immediately prior to a grading
period in which his/her cumulative QPA
drops below but within 0.1 of the cumulative QPA required for minimal progress;
A full-time freshman or transfer student
who was making minimal progress toward
good standing at the end of the second grading period is below but within 0.1 of that
required for minimal progress toward good
standing;
A readmitted student who was formerly
dismissed for academic deficiency who at the
close of the first grading period has not regained minimal academic progress or good
standing;
A full-time student who failed to earn 24
semester hours within one 12-month period;
A part-time student who failed to earn
the minimum number of semester hours as
prescribed above within the given semester.
Academic Dismissal
A student who at any final
grading perinot 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" without first being placed on aca-

on Readmission.
Students failing to meet the minimal requirements of earned credit hours and/or

Registrar.
Appeals
A student under
"academic dismissal"
may petition the Academic Review Board for
reinstatement. If reinstatement is granted,
the conditions of reinstatement are indicated including an enrollment limit of 13 semester hours for a specified period of time.
The student's record also is marked "committee reinstated." If the student does not
attain good standing or is not making mini-
36
mal progress toward academic good standing by the end of the period granted by the
conditions of reinstatement, he or she is
excluded from further registration, and
her/his record
is
again
marked "academic
dismissal."
If
the student elects to attend the sum-
mer
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
described in the undergraduate catalog.

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 teinporarily 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

plan for attaining good standing proposed
by the student. A decision of the Academic

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

Teacher Certifications
Certification is
the result of completing a teacher education
program approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education as defined by Chapter 49 of the Regulations of the State Board
of Education - Certification of Professional
Personnel. Certificates are issued by the
Pennsylvania Department of Education
upon the recommendation of the university, based on its approved teacher education
programs. Certification does not apply to
certificates issued by the university for completion of a university program. Minors cannot lead to certification to teach or supervise in the public schools of Pennsylvania.
Double Majors Across Colleges
Students electing to major in two departments
must have a major adviser in each department, meet all of the major requirements
of each department and all of the general
education requirements. Double majors in
some departments may require more than
the minimum 128 credits for graduation.
Change of Area of Study (Major)

Students enroll by scheduling classes, paying fees, and registering on the first day of
each semester or summer session. The
scheduling of classes is usually completed
during the prior semester. Classes in
progress for the current semester always
constitute an obligation to the student. All
scheduling procedures for the next semester shall not conflict with this obligation. The
dates for scheduling and advisement are
announced by the registrar. To schedule, students obtain a class schedule booklet, meet
with their advisers, and enter their schedules directly at designated computer termi-

Students shall not be required to take
part in cocurricular activities until after 3:30

over unscheduled meets, practices, etc.
Students off campus at the time of scheduling due to student teaching, internships,
etc., will prepare their proposed schedule,
which will be processed at the appointed
time with those of their peers. These students mail their class scheduling form to the
registrar.
Students are billed according to number
of semester hours scheduled.
Students must register in person on the

according to the instructions for registration
issued by the registrar. Special provisions for

A student may change his/her semester/

not prerequisite to a change. Changes are
subject to available space in classes to which
the student proposes to transfer.
Schedule changes for all students in the
Department of Developmental Instruction,
with less than 32 earned credits, require the
approval of the Department of Developmental Instruction. Schedule adjustments for students on academic probation, reinstatement
and minimal academic progress require the
approval of the academic adviser.
Late Registration
A student may register late until the close
of business on the sixth day of the semester
or the first Wednesday following a summer

for late registration unless the student presents a medical excuse at the time of registration.
Evaluation of Undergraduate
Transfer Credits

Grades, quality points and grade point averages do not transfer.
College-level courses completed with a
grade of C (2.0/4.0) or above from a twoyear or four-year institution, accredited by
one of the regional accrediting agencies, are
usually transferred for a degree student.
Courses taken with a srrade of less than C

Transfer credit will be deleted if the student subsequently registers for courses
which substantially duplicate the content of
courses accepted for transfer.
When
the substitution of transfer credit
is in question because
for a required course
the course was taken in an unaccredited institution or because the description of standards of the course are unclear, a student is
entitled to an opportunity to validate the
course by examination.
Correspondence courses are subject to
acceptance to a total that does not exceed
15 semester hours if taken from a college or
university accredted by one of the two regional accrediting agencies and acceptable
by that institution toward graduation in a
baccalaureate degree program.
Courses taken in another institution on
a pass-fail basis are acceptable for transfer
as free electives if they conform to the conditions for such grades at Bloomsburg University. A student applying to transfer courses must fulfill the provisions of the sections
on residence requirement and graduation
requirements.
Credits from other institutions accredited by one of the regional accrediting associations earned by a Bloomsburg degree student will transfer provided approvals are
obtained first from the student's adviser and
department chairperson. An approval form
can be obtained from the registrar. Upon
completion of a course, it is the student's
responsibility to provide the registrar with
an official transcript. Course evaluations by
department chairpersons must be secured
before the registrar can record courses and
credits on the student's academic record.

his/her instructor's signature on the withdrawal form.
No withdrawals will be permitted after
the close of the work day three weeks after
the middle day of the semester.
Prior to the last week of classes, in exceptional circumstances, for compelling, justified and documented reasons, the dean of

General Education Requirements
The College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business and College of Professional Studies at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania administer undergraduate curricu-
General Education
Requirements
Requirements for the curricula are in
sections describing each college.
Each curriculum, leading to a baccalau-
specific course
la.
reate degree, requires successful completion
of at least 128 semester hours in the major,
general education and free electives. This
section deals with general education; re-
quirements for each major are listed under
department headings. While electives are
unrestricted,
it's
helpful to consult with a
faculty adviser.
When a student makes a tentative choice
of a major, preliminary or prerequisite courses required in that major are assigned. Admission is selective or restrictive at the junior year entry level for some curricula. The
university is not bound to admit the student
if the student is not admissible according to
the competition for available spaces or other selective criteria.
Students who plan to major in two departments must have a major adviser in each
department and meet all of the major requirements of each department and all of
the general education requirements. Double majors in some departments may require
more than the minimum 128 semester hours
for graduation. Double majors in departments in two colleges must have the permission of both college deans to declare a double major.

About the Program
The programs in allied health sciences
encompass 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 genstudents 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 clinieral,
cal standards, often referred to as the Essentials.

Anthropology, in common with other sciences, is concerned with the formulation and
testing of hypotheses or tentative explanations of observed human phenomenon.
Anthropology also has an important humanistic tradition. At Bloomsburg University,
anthropology is divided into three study areas: cultural anthropology, which studies
ways of life in societies across the world;
physical anthropology, which traces human
and biological variability; and archaewhich seeks to explain human behavior by studying material remains from past
cultures. The Department of Anthropology's

The
desire
study of art requires both an inner
a firm technical basis to support
and
the artist's growth throughout life. The art
department is dedicated to providing an ideal environment for the nurturing of this development within the confines of a liberal
arts education. Art professors are commit-
ted to excellence in teaching as well as actively involved in their own field of expertise. 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 cul-
and nationalities.
The studio is used as
tures
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 electronmedia as well as the traditional means for
ic
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, interaction with the faculty and use of facilities on campus are im-
portant to the student's development.

is designed to give students a
strong background in chemistry with ample
time available for taking courses in other disciplines. Often students in this program carry a double major, and many follow a prelaw or pre-med curricula. Students who in-
chemistry
tend to pursue advanced degrees in chembiochemistry, or related disciplines or
who anticipate a career in the chemical industry are encouraged to take the Bachelor
of Science program that is approved by the
Committee on Professional Training of the
istry,
American
Chemical
Society.
Advanced
chemistry courses and an independent research project are required as part of this
program.
A Bachelor of Science in Education program is designed for students who wish to
teach chemistry on the secondary education
level.
A knowledge of chemistry is central to reall areas of scientific knowledge.
Chemists are considered to be among the

and, therefore,
A recent survey by the
American Chemical Society finds that the
median annual salary of entry level chemists is over $28,000. The program at Bloomsburg is recognized as offering high quality
preprofessional training for careers in research, industry, education, medicine, and
allied health professions. Since not all chemists are employed in a laboratory environ-
ment, chemistry majors may consider
ca-
reers as teachers, consultants, patent lawyers,
to only about 400 colleges in the U.S. The
chemistry department is housed in a newly
renovated facility, with an excellent collection of computers and chemical instrumentation dedicated to undergraduate education. At Bloomsburg the student will have a
Ph.D. chemist in the laboratory as the instructor, not a graduate student.
The Bachelor of Science program in
chemistry gives students a strong background in the science and a broad background in general education. The degree
has three tracks both with a common 3-year
core requirement. The first is the standard

to develop information systems for the
business environment, they differ significantly in emphasis. (For information on the
Management Information Systems program,
see the section on Management Information
Systems.)
The CIS curriculum prepares students in
the development, operation and maintenance of computer-based information systems for the business environment. The program's focus centers on commercial software
and hardware with an emphasis on problem
solving, system analysis and design, data
management, data communications and
software development within a commercial
context.
CIS has a strong technical emphasis.
While students are required to take courses
in economics, accounting, and other areas
of business, the majority of the required
course work is in computer and information
science. Students work in a variety of environments including networked micro-computers and workstations, multiuser minicomputers, and mainframes. The program prepares business students for positions such as:
application programmer, programmer-analyst, systems analyst, data base administrator,
and information
specialist.

granted by the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The appeal
procedure for considering the problems of
certification candidates can be found in the
section of the catalog dealing with academic grievances. As of June 1987, all individuals seeking teacher certification in Pennsylvania are required to pass state mandated
tests at levels determined by the Secretary
of Education. The tests assess basic skills,
general knowledge, knowledge of subjects
in which certification is sought, and professional knowledge. Students must pass the
specialty test for each area of certification.
An initial certificate is designated as Instructional Level I. It is valid for six years. A Level
I certificate is not subject to renewal beyond
a total of six years after the individual be-
ciprocal credentials in other states. Participating states currently include: Alabama,
California, Connecticut, Delaware, District
of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia,
Washington and West Virginia. This list is
updated as additional states complete the
contract process. Other states may be willing to grant reciprocity. Graduates of Pennsylvania-approved programs are advised to
contact the teacher certification office in the
state in which they wish to obtain certification for application forms and instructions.
The names and addresses of the appropriate officials should be available in most college placement offices.

physically
handicapped individuals
(learning disabled, mentally retarded, seriously emotionally disturbed and physically
handicapped). Students may also acquire a
concentration for the education of the deaf/
hard of hearing.
Students enrolled in special education
have the opportunity to student teach in the
following settings: public schools, approved
private schools, preschools, state centers,
adjudicated environments and hospitals.
Student teaching placements are in the following counties: Carbon, Columbia, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lackawanna, Lehigh,
Snyder, Union and Sullivan.
Students entering the university who have
declared special education as their major are
advised by faculty in the Department of Communication Disorders and Special Education. They begin taking courses in the major in the first semester of the freshman year
and generally enroll in at least or more one
89
special education course every semester
thereafter.
Adjustments are
made
quence of courses which
in the
above seneeds
reflect the
of students who desire to take less or more
semester hours of work than the average student. Transfers (internal and external), readmitted students, adult learners, and parttime students make it necessary to make
adjustments in scheduling. Students who
have the necessary requirements complete
their student teaching the first semester and
return to campus to complete their General Education requirements for graduation.
Students who enroll in summer school could
possibly graduate early or reduce the number of semester hours taken during the academic year. Students seeking dual certification (Special Education/Elementary Education or Early Childhood Education) often
enroll in
summer
sessions.

The engineering and liberal arts program
provides the opportunity for students to
pursue a rewarding and challenging career
in the high-demand field of engineering
without forgoing the broader scope of a
Bloomsburg University educational experience. This cooperative program of study
leads to two baccalaureate degrees, one in
liberal arts and sciences awarded by Bloomsburg University and one in an area of engineering from either The Pennsylvania State
University or Wilkes University.
Candidates for these degrees spend three
years at Bloomsburg University, where they
study science, mathematics, pre-engineering, and a broad variety of liberal arts subjects, followed by two years at the University
Park campus of Penn State or at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, where they study
engineering disciplines.
Students may pursue an engineering education in any of the following areas:
Aerospace Engineering (Penn State)
Agricultural Engineering (Penn State)
Ceramic Science and Engineering (Penn
State)
Chemical Engineering (Penn State)
Civil Engineering (Penn State)

Admission Procedures: 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 enrollment in
53.125, the initial course in the required
calculus sequence, during the first semester
of study.
Applicants for admission who previously
were registered as degree candidates and
established an academic record as degree
candidates at 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 Uni-
versity.
Students should indicate a desire to follow this program of study at the time of admission to Bloomsburg University in order
to ensure 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 schedule planning. At the end of the second year
of study, students become candidates for
transfer if they have maintained a sufficiently
high QPA.
Transferring to The Pennsylvania State University: In September of the third year of
study, students should apply for transfer to
sion to
Penn
State for the following
fall se-
mester.
Completed applications should be supported by the following documentation:
An official transcript of the applicant's
final secondary school grades; Two official
transcripts of the applicant's Bloomsburg
University academic record including all
grades earned; A schedule of all courses to
be taken in the third year; A letter of recommendation from the Pre-Engineering
Advisory Committee.
At the end of the third year of study, two
copies of the student's official Bloomsburg
University transcript should be forwarded to
the Admissions Office of The Pennsylvania
State University. Students
who have main-
tained the required quality point average,
who have completed all required courses,
and who are recommended by the Pre-Engineering Advisory Committee, will be offered permanent admission to Penn State.
Transferring to Wilkes University: At the
beginning of the third year of study, students
should apply for transfer to Wilkes University through the coordinator of the program
at Bloomsburg University. Applications are
available in the coordinator's office.
Completed applications should be supported by the following credentials:
An official transcript of the applicant's
final secondary school grades; An official
Bloomsburg University transcript of the applicant's grades including all grades earned
during the first two years; A schedule of all
courses to be taken during the third year.
The Pre-Engineering Advisory Committee reviews these credentials and submits a
recommendation to the dean of admissions
of Wilkes University. Successful applicants
will be offered provisional admission to

areas: writing, professional skills
and theo-
student productions such as The Voice,
Bloom News, Spectrum magazine, and a
range of other campus communications activities. Recommended Preparation High
school students interested in communication-related careers should become involved
in school media. These media can include
newspapers, yearbooks, magazines, radio,
video or television production and programs.
The committed student can gain valuable
experience through volunteer efforts with
community groups such as chambers of commerce, tourism offices, and other non-profit
organizations.
Admission Requirements - Admission to the
mass communications program is by application to the chair and is limited to approximately 60 students, who should have
achieved a cumulative grade point average
of 2.5 or higher. Acceptance into the program depends, however, not only on the
QPA, but also on past experience and potential.
Students should exhibit strong writing,
and creative qualities and a record of
interest and participation in media-related
extracurricular activities. Students are encouraged to make a case for their admission
in the light of previous experience even if
they feel their QPAs may not alone justify
admission. Students will be notified of their

In the bachelor of science program, students select an area of concentration in their
junior year to develop proficiency in an area
of applied mathematics.
Many students choose ajoint program in
mathematics and computer science, mathematics and statistics or mathematics and an
area of business or physical sciences. A student majoring in education who chooses an
area of concentration in mathematics essentially follows the bachelor of arts program
in mathematics.
The department strongly supports the implementation of mathematical and statistical software throughout all the mathemati-
117
cal programs. Students who complete a degree program in mathematics are prepared
to continue their studies of mathematics on
the graduate level or to enter industry in an
area where mathematics is used.
For admission to the major in mathematics, a student should have a thorough preparation in high school mathematics. Students who complete the Advanced Placement Examination with a score of 3 or higher may earn university credit for the first

About the Program
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 allied health programs,
especially the clinical portion,
is

ry completion of the clinical standards, often referred to as the Essentials. These standards establish requirements related to cur-
riculum, personnel, financing, resources,
and records.
Medical imagers are allied health professionals who have expertise in the operation of imaging equipment and the preparation of patients for various diagnostic procedures. These procedures may include
competencies in radiography, nuclear medicine, sonography, radiation therapy and
cross sectional imagery. Additionally, many
clinically educated radiographers pursue
careers in managereial or teaching roles
within their disciplines. To meet the varying needs of medical imagers, the program
offers an assortment of academic pathways
leading to a baccalaureate degree.
Students may enter the program as firstyear freshmen or at an advanced entry level following clinical preparation in radiography. Students entering at this advanced
level are awarded 20 to 60 semester hours
for satisfactory completion of the AMA-approved program and the passing of the
ARRT examination.
Johns Hopkins Hospital Option - This
option provides the student with at least two

About the Program
The programs in allied health sciences
encompass 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 Essentials.
These standards establish requirements
related to curriculum, personnel, financing,
and records.
Program of Study- The medical technology program consists of a minimum of 96
resources,
semester hours of coursework prescribed by
the university, followed by one calendar year
of clinical education in a medical technology program accredited nationally by the
National Accrediting Agency for Clinical
Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS).
Students enrolling in the curriculum
leading to the Bachelor of Science will be
admitted under the same policy governing
other 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 detersolely by the institution where the
mined
clinical
work
is
done. The university cannot
121
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 Clinical Laboratory Scientists
(C.L.S.)

A student who
fails to
gain admission to
a clinical program at the end of the junior
year (3+1 program) or wishes to complete a
degree 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 medical technology program
select an option in microbiology. This option is detailed in the section on Biology.

About the Program
The Department of Philosophy offers a
broad range of courses designed to provide
both a general acquaintance with the issues
and methods of philosophy as well as a solid
foundation for advanced work in the discipline. In all of its courses, the department
seeks to encourage students to develop their
thinking skills, by engaging them with the
best minds of the past and present, by challenging them to examine and to criticize the
arguments of others, and by leading them
to question their own values and commitments.
Regardless of topic or level of difficulty,
philosophy courses provide a unique opportunity to acquire and to practice a variety of
valuable skills, such as the ability to solve
problems, to communicate effectively, and
to assess the strength and cogency of opposing arguments and proposed plans of action.
The five-member department offers both
a major and a minor in philosophy, and also
supports the university's liberal arts mission

About the Program
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 required courses is prerequisite to
graduate school admission and
is
based on
145
the American Speech-Language-Hearing
Association (ASLHA) accreditation/certification requirements.
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 language and communication develop-
ment and/or
disorders.
Courses in the curriculum can be elected by students in teacher preparation (i.e.,
early 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,

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

Program of Study
Required Courses
This advanced entry degree program is
available to health workers who have obtained a clinical education from an accredited health agency and who desire additional education in communicative and interpersonal skills. Its initiation was encouraged by
the fact that many certified health workers
are now being strongly encouraged to continue their education in a collegiate setting.
The role of the health worker has expanded to include greater responsibility in
the hospital and nursing home setting as well
as a more substantial commitment to improving community health. The program
attracts medical laboratory technicians, licensed practical nurses, histologic technicians, and laboratory assistants, i.e., those
workers who have satisfactorily completed
the equivalent of one year's clinical education.
es
Most students in the program take courson a part-time basis and require more
than two years to complete the curriculum.
Candidates for the associate degree must
have satisfactorily completed 22 semester
hours of coursework, maintained a minimum QPA of 2.0, and have proof of satisfactory completion of a clinical program.
Awarding of this associate degree is contingent upon the student being accepted for
candidacy and completion of the program
while maintaining good academic standing.
