became the Bloomsburg Literary Institute in 1856 and by 1869 was
designated as the Bloomsburg Literary Institute and State Normal
School.
In 1927 the Bloomsburg State Normal School, a name acquired in 1916, became the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. With
the change in name, the long established program for the training of
elementary teachers was enlarged to include a four-year degree curriculum. A business teacher-training program was introduced in 1930
as a part of the expansion of curricular offerings for secondary school
teachers.

By 1950

the College

was

fully accredited

by

the

Middle

States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, an accreditation
which was reaffirmed in 1960 and extended to include a program of
graduate studies. This same year the College reached another historic
milestone in its life as it became the Bloomsburg State College.

ACCREDITATION
Bloomsburg State College is fully accredited by the National
Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education and the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and has been approved to offer the Master of Education degree by the Pennsylvania
State Council of Education.

GRADUATE STUDIES PROGRAM
On June 9. 1960. the State Council of Education of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania authorized the Bloomsburg State College to inaugurate a program of graduate studies and to confer the Master of
Education degree. Graduate courses for students desiring to secure
the Master of Education degree in Business Education. Elementary
Education. Speech Correction, and Special Education for the Mentally
Retarded are now offered by the College. The program is under the
direction of the Division of Graduate Studies operating within the
framework of policies and curriculums developed and approved by the
Graduate Council of the College.
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

The need

for professional education for teachers extending bethe undergraduate level has long been recognized bv educational
leaders throughout the United States. In recent years the Pennsylvania
State Council of Education has taken positive action to improve instruction in public schools by upgrading certification requirements for teachers.
This action indicates a clear recognition by the State Council of
the need for training beyond the Bachelor's degree. Mandated salary
schedules which provide salary differentials for holders of Master's degrees in the form of higher maximum salaries give additional recognition of the value of graduate study.

evenings, and/or Saturdays during the regular academic year.

calendar and daily time schedule for graduate courses offered during
the summer term will be similar to the calendar and daily time schedule

SEMESTER

HOUR LOAD

During the regular nine-month academic year, a graduate student

who is teaching full time will normally be permitted to enroll in a
maximum of four semester hours of graduate courses each semester.
Permission to enroll in more than four semester hours of graduate
courses must be received from the Director of Graduate Studies.

ADVISEMENT OF STUDENTS
Each student admitted to graduate study will be assigned a program advisor who will help in the determination of the program of
study. Normally the chairman, or some other designated faculty member, of the department in which the student is enrolled will be the advisor. Upon approval of the Director of Graduate Studies, and upon the
recommendation of the department chairman, the student will be permitted to enroll for the Professional Research Project. At this time a
major research advisor and a research committee will be named. This
committee will assume responsibility for the approval of the professional
research project and the administration of the final oral examination.

EXAMINATIONS
All students are required to take the Millers Analogies Test at
the time of application for admission to graduate study and the Graduate Record Examination at the time of application for admission to
candidacy for the Master's degree (as distinguished from admission to

graduate study). The time schedule and other information relative to
taking these examinations is announced by the Director of Graduate
Studies and may be obtained at the office of the Division of Graduate

PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH PROJECT

The professional research project is viewed as a very important
part of the Master's degree program. The project will offer the student an opportunity to engage in research of limited scope pertaining
to some area in a school situation which needs study and improvement.
In-service teachers may wish to select a project which is concerned
with an existing problem area in the school system with which they are
currently associated.
The

professional research project must be approved by the chairof the student's advisory committee, and a formal plan for the
completion of the project must be submitted to, and approved by, the
final
student's advisory committee before the project is undertaken.
written report of the project, prepared in conformity with requirements
established by the Graduate Council, must be approved by the student's
advisory committee with copies submitted to the office of the Division
of Graduate Studies for permanent filing before credit of two semester
hours will be granted.
