STATE COLLEGE

LOCATION
Situated on a hill overlooking the Susquehanna River, the Bloomsburg State College campus of more than 100 acres is within the town
This community, with a population of approximlimits of Bloomsburg.
ately 11,000, is located 75 miles northeast of Harrisburg on U. S.
Route 11, and easily accessible from Exit 35 on Interstate 80. Regularly
scheduled public transportation is available to surrounding cities and
towns with express bus service to Philadelphia, 125 miles southeast,
New York City, 155 miles east, and Washington, D.C., 185 miles south.

HISTORY
Bloomsburg 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
Bloomsburg Literary Institute and State Normal School. In 1927
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 enas the

the

business teachertraining 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 as it became Bloomsburg
State College.

ACCREDITATION
Bloomsburg

is fully accredited by the National Council
Teacher Education and the Middle States Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and has been approved to offer the
Master of Education degree and a Master of Arts degree by the Pennsylvania State Board of Education.

GRADUATE STUDIES PROGRAM
On June 9, 1960, the State Council of Education cf 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 Biology, Business Education, Communication
Disorders, Elementary Education, English, Foreign Languages, General
Speech, Geography, History, Reading, Social Studies, and Special EduIn
cation for the Mentally Retarded are now offered by the College.
1968 the first Master of Arts degree was offered in the field of history.
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

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 of graduate studies at Bloomsburg State College has
as its primary purpose the increasing of the competency of teachers in
Pennsylvania.
To achieve this, the following specific objectives, as they
relate to the individual student, have been developed.
1. To
encourage independent thought and initiative and develop
problem-solving ability.
2. To provide an incentive for continuing professional growth.
3. 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.
4. To develop a more comprehensive understanding of the teach5.

ing and learning processes.
To provide opportunity for advanced study in a selected field of
specialization.

SCHEDULING OF CLASSES
All graduate classes will be scheduled during late afternoons, eveand /or Saturdays during the regular academic year. The calendar
and daily time schedule for graduate courses offered during the summer

ADVISEMENT OF STUDENTS
Each student admitted to graduate study in a degree program will
be assigned a program advisor who will help in the determination of the
program of study. Courses not approved by an adviser possibly may not be
counted toward a degree. 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 if this reAt this time a major research advisor and a

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.
the

Chairman of the student's advisory committee, and a formal plan for
completion of the project must be submitted to, and approved by,

final 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 three
semester hours will be granted.

Specific procedures are available in the Office of

Gradu-

ate Studies.

TIME LIMIT
All requirements for the Master's degree must be completed within
a six year period immediately preceding the date on which the degree is
to be conferred.
This time limit includes all credits transferred from
other institutions.
In very unusual circumstances, this period of time
may be extended. If an extension of time is desired, written application
should be made to the Director of Graduate Studies.

MASTER OF EDUCATION

IN

HISTORY

Individual graduate courses in history fulfill partial requirements
for the Masters Degree in 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.
Cumulatively, courses in history enable the student to command
a greater portion of historical understanding.
The student enters into
or returns to his chosen career more competent to understand and to
judge both the past and the present of human society.

SOCIAL STUDIES

The Master

of Education degree in Secondary Social Studies fundamentally provides:
1. Advanced study in a single area of concentration for the purpose of a greater mastery of the primary subject matter for
which the student, as a school teacher, is responsible;
2. Advanced study in a second, related, discipline for the dual purpose of providing an ancillary skill to the area of concentration
and subject-matter improvement in an alternative teaching area;
3. Advanced study in professional education for the purpose of
enriching student experience as a school teacher.
