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 Bloomsburg State College.
ACCREDITATION

CAMPUS
Years before college enrollments began to soar, President Andruss
and the Board of Trustees sensed the need for a coordinated long-range
campus plan for 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.

New
buildings at Bloomsburg include the College Commons (1956),
Hall (1959), the new North Hall Dormitory for Men (I960),
the East and West Hall Dormitories for Women (1964), the air-conditioned Andruss Library (1966), the air-conditioned Haas Auditorium
which seats 2,000 (1967), the South Hall Dormitory for Men (1967),
Elwell Hall, another men's dormitory (1968), and the Hartline Science
and Classroom building (1969). In the near future the college will have
a new Athletic Field, an air-conditioned Dining Hall seating 1.000, the
first part of a new Student Center, additional parking areas, a Women's
Dormitory, another classroom building, a Field House-Gymnasium to seat
4,000, and new maintenance facilities. Additional buildings will be erected on the lower campus as well as the recently acquired sixty-eight acres
which formerly comprised the Bloomsburg Golf Course.

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,
Biology, English, Foreign Languages, History, Reading, General Speech,
Communication Disorders, and Special Education for
Mentally Retarded are now offered by the College. The program is
der the direction of the Division of Graduate Studies operating within
framework of policies and curriculums developed and approved by
Graduate Council of the College.

PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
The need
for professional education for teachers extending
beyond
the undergraduate level has 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 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.
The program
as
its
of graduate studies at Bloomsburg State College has
primary purpose the increasing of the competency of teachers in
Pennsylvania.
To
achieve
this,
the following specific objectives, as they
have been developed.
To encourage independent thought and initiative and develop
problem-solving ability.
To provide an incentive for continuing professional growth.
To develop a basic understanding of research methods and techniques so that reports of research in the field of education may
be correctly interpreted and evaluated.
To develop a more comprehensive understanding of the teaching and learning processes.
To provide opportunity for advanced study in a selected field of

PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH REQUIREMENT
Professional research is considered to be an integral part of all
graduate programs at Bloomsburg.
The requirements of individual
courses should reflect this philosophy and should contribute to the student's concept of the place of research in professional activities.
In addition, the student is required to complete a Research Option as part of
his degree program.
This option will include the Master's Research
Paper and/or Thesis for all departments or either a Departmental Paper
or Departmental Seminar, depending on the specific department involved.
7
In all cases the option will be determined by the department in which the
student is enrolled.
The Master's Research Paper and/or Thesis 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, or to
some specific aspect of an academic area. 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.

literature of a topic suitable to both student interest and course content;
5) the student learns, often by precept, new informational and interpretative approaches to the presentation of the discipline of history generally

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 Bloomsburg State College.

CAMPUS
Years before college enrollments began to soar, President Andruss
and the Board of Trustees sensed the need for a coordinated long-range
campus plan for 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.
1
New
buildings at Bloomsburg include the College Commons (1956),
Hall (1959), the new North Hall Dormitory for Men (I960),
the East and West Hall Dormitories for Women (1964), the air-conditioned Andruss Library (1966), the air-conditioned Haas Auditorium
which seats 2,000 (1967), the South Hall Dormitory for Men (1967),
Elwell Hall, another men's dormitory (1968), and the Hartline Science
and Classroom building (1969). In the near future the college will have
a new Athletic Field, an air-conditioned Dining Hall seating 1.000, the
first part of a new Student Center, additional parking areas, a Women's
Dormitory, another classroom building, a Field House-Gymnasium to seat
4,000, and new maintenance facilities. Additional buildings will be erected on the lower campus as well as the recently acquired sixty-eight acres
which formerly comprised the Bloomsburg Golf Course.

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,
Biology, English, Foreign Languages, History, Reading, General Speech,
Communication Disorders, and Special Education for
Mentally Retarded are now offered by the College. The program is

PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
The need
for professional education for teachers extending
beyond
the undergraduate level has 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 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.
The program
as
its
of graduate studies at Bloomsburg State College has
primary purpose the increasing of the competency of teachers in
Pennsylvania.
To
achieve
this,
the following specific objectives, as they
have been developed.
To encourage independent thought and initiative and develop
problem-solving ability.
To provide an incentive for continuing professional growth.
To develop a basic understanding of research methods and techniques so that reports of research in the field of education may
be correctly interpreted and evaluated.
To develop a more comprehensive understanding of the teaching and learning processes.
To provide opportunity for advanced study in a selected field of

PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH REQUIREMENT
Professional research is considered to be an integral part of all
graduate programs at Bloomsburg.
The requirements of individual
courses should reflect this philosophy and should contribute to the student's concept of the place of research in professional activities.
In addition, the student is required to complete a Research Option as part of
his degree program.
This option will include the Master's Research
Paper and/or Thesis for all departments or either a Departmental Paper
or Departmental Seminar, depending on the specific department involved.
7
In all cases the option will be determined by the department in which the
student is enrolled.
The Master's Research Paper and/or Thesis 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, or to
some specific aspect of an academic area. 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.

Secondary Education in History. Each course
serves at least six common objectives: 1) Learning is student-oriented
and thereby enables the student to pursue his study at a pace and in the
by-ways of interest commensurate with the second objective, 2) mastery
in depth of a broadly prescribed segment of historical study; 3) the student acquires knowledge of the basic literature of the subject of the
course, and 4) reviews fundamental research experience in the primary
literature of a topic suitable to both student interest and course content;
5) the student learns, often by precept, new informational and interpretative approaches to the presentation of the discipline of history generally
and of the content of course specifically. And finally, and most important, 6) the student acquires a deeper appreciation of his own professional
commitment to the pursuit of understanding through history.
