THE COLLEGE
LOCATION
Situated on a hill overlooking the beautiful Susquehanna River,
the Bloomsburg State College campus of more than 100 acres is within
the town limits of Bloomsburg. This thriving community, with a population in excess of 10,000, is located 75 miles northeast of Harrisburg on U. S. Route 11. Regularly scheduled public transportation is
available to surrounding cities and towns with express bus service to
Philadelphia, 125 miles southeast,
York City, 155 miles east, and
Washington, D.C., 185 miles south.

HISTORY
State College has passed through many stages
since the founding of the Bloomsburg Academy in 1839. The Academy
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.
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 Board of Education.

CAMPUS
For several years before college enrollments began to soar. President Andruss and the Board of Trustees sensed the need for a coordinated, long- range campus plan of building and development. The
idea bore fruit in 1957 when Bloomsburg became the first State Teachers College in Pennsylvania to have a campus plan approved by the
Department of Public
Instruction.
The development of the campus plan has been accompanied by the
most extensive building program in the history of the college. Since
1956, the General State Authority has listed for Bloomsburg fifteen
projects, totaling nearly fifteen million dollars.
Seven projects in this list have already been completed at a cost of
approximately five million dollars. They include the College Commons

(1956). Sutliff Hall (1958), New North Hall dormitory for men
(1958), East and West Hall dormitories for women (1964), two
additions which have doubled the capacity of the Heating Plant (1964),
and an extension of utilities.
Appropriations have been allocated and bids are being prepared for
This will include an

auditorium with a seating capacity of 2.000, a dormitory to accommodate
300 men (on the site of Old-North Hall), and a library which can
seat 750 students and house 200.000 volumes.
Designs are already on the drawing boards for three projects
which will cost nearly four and a half million dollars. When these are
completed, the college will have a new athletic field, a science classroom building adjacent to Sutliff Hall, and another extension of
utilities.
More recently, architects have been appointed to prepare
plans for two dormitories to house a total of 672 men. These will be
located on the grass plots across the street from Long Porch.
The campus plan also calls for another dormitory for women, two
classroom buildings, and a student center.
LIVING
ACCOMMODATIONS
Housing for Bloomsburg State College students is available in
modern well-kept dormitories. Meals are served in the pleasant atmosphere of the new College Commons. These facilities are available
graduate students during the summer term at a reasonable cost.
Requests for information concerning available dormitory accommodations may be secured by writing the Dean of Students.

well as books published in the past which would be of value to the
student engaged in research.

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, English, Social Studies, 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 teachers extending behas long been recognized by 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

SCHEDULING OF CLASSES
All graduate classes will be scheduled during late afternoons,
evenings, and/or Saturdays during the regular academic year.
The
calendar and daily time schedule for graduate courses offered during
the summer term will be similar to the calendar and daily time schedule
for undergraduate courses.
Graduate students will be able to pursue
a full-time graduate study program during the summer.
In-service
teachers will be able to complete the requirements for the Master of
Education degree without interference with normal professional duties.

two 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 per7
mitted 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
Studies in Sutliff Hall, Room No. 201. Following acceptance of the
professional research project and during the semester or summer term
in which the requirements for the Master's degree will be completed,
an oral examination will be administered by the student's advisory

THE COLLEGE
LOCATION
Situated on a hill overlooking the beautiful Susquehanna River,
the Bloomsburg State College campus of more than 100 acres is within
the town limits of Bloomsburg. This thriving community, with a population in excess of 10,000, is located 75 miles northeast of Harrisburg on U. S. Route 11. Regularly scheduled public transportation is
available to surrounding cities and towns with express bus service to
Philadelphia, 125 miles southeast,
York City, 155 miles east, and
Washington, D.C., 185 miles south.

HISTORY
State College has passed through many stages
since the founding of the Bloomsburg Academy in 1839. The Academy
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.
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 Board of Education.

CAMPUS
For several years before college enrollments began to soar. President Andruss and the Board of Trustees sensed the need for a coordinated, long- range campus plan of building and development. The
idea bore fruit in 1957 when Bloomsburg became the first State Teachers College in Pennsylvania to have a campus plan approved by the
Department of Public
Instruction.
The development of the campus plan has been accompanied by the
most extensive building program in the history of the college. Since
1956, the General State Authority has listed for Bloomsburg fifteen
projects, totaling nearly fifteen million dollars.
Seven projects in this list have already been completed at a cost of
approximately five million dollars. They include the College Commons

(1956). Sutliff Hall (1958), New North Hall dormitory for men
(1958), East and West Hall dormitories for women (1964), two
additions which have doubled the capacity of the Heating Plant (1964),
and an extension of utilities.
Appropriations have been allocated and bids are being prepared for

auditorium with a seating capacity of 2.000, a dormitory to accommodate
300 men (on the site of Old-North Hall), and a library which can
seat 750 students and house 200.000 volumes.
Designs are already on the drawing boards for three projects
which will cost nearly four and a half million dollars. When these are
completed, the college will have a new athletic field, a science classroom building adjacent to Sutliff Hall, and another extension of
utilities.
More recently, architects have been appointed to prepare
plans for two dormitories to house a total of 672 men. These will be
located on the grass plots across the street from Long Porch.
The campus plan also calls for another dormitory for women, two
classroom buildings, and a student center.
LIVING
ACCOMMODATIONS
Housing for Bloomsburg State College students is available in
modern well-kept dormitories. Meals are served in the pleasant atmosphere of the new College Commons. These facilities are available
graduate students during the summer term at a reasonable cost.
Requests for information concerning available dormitory accommodations may be secured by writing the Dean of Students.

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, English, Social Studies, 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 teachers extending behas long been recognized by 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

SCHEDULING OF CLASSES
All graduate classes will be scheduled during late afternoons,
evenings, and/or Saturdays during the regular academic year.
The
calendar and daily time schedule for graduate courses offered during
the summer term will be similar to the calendar and daily time schedule
for undergraduate courses.
Graduate students will be able to pursue
a full-time graduate study program during the summer.
In-service
teachers will be able to complete the requirements for the Master of
Education degree without interference with normal professional duties.

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 per7
mitted 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
Studies in Sutliff Hall, Room No. 201. Following acceptance of the
professional research project and during the semester or summer term
