GENERAL INFORMATION

PURPOSE

Graduate work at Bloomsburg State College is planned to provide
opportunity for study leading to masters' degrees and for non-degree
graduate level study.

The latter includes opportunity for teachers to take courses for selfimprovement and for certification credit. College graduates other than
teachers are invited also to study courses for self-improvement without
a degree.

1.2

LOCATION

located within the town of Bloomsburg,
approximately 11,000 seventy-five miles
northeast of Harrisburg on Route U.S. 11. There is an interchange of Interstate Route 80 two miles from the campus. Bloomsburg is served by the
Greyhound and Continental Trailways Bus Lines, with service to eastern
cities. The airports at Williamsport and Scranton-Wilkes Barre are within

LIBRARY
Andruss Library, named

in

honor of

Dr.

Harvey A. Andruss, President

of the College from 1939 to 1969, was completed in August, 1966.

It is

located between Hartline Center for the Sciences and Bakeless Center for
the Humanities. The building has accommodations for 600 to 800 readers,
shelving for 200,000 volumes, a projection room, a Learning Resources

Center and areas housing a special Juvenile Collection, a Documents Col-

and a Microforms Collection. The building is air-conditioned.
The library provides books and other materials supporting courses,
research, and personal enrichment for students and faculty. Included in
the overall collection are 165,000 fully-accessioned volumes, of which
10,000 comprise a Juvenile Collection and 4,000 are bound periodicals;
more than 100,000 units of microforms; and files of pamphlets and mounted
pictures. More than 2,000 periodicals and 90 newspapers are received on a
regular basis. The Learning Resources Center includes films, filmstrips, recordings, slides, transparencies, and other multi-media materials.

ACADEMIC POLICIES

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
It is

the student's responsibility to satisfy the requirements for gradu-

ation in his curriculum and to observe the academic regulations of the

Graduate School. Although the adviser and the staff of the Graduate School
stand ready to aid the student in his decision making, the final responsibility rests

2.02

with the student.

DEGREES

The Master of Education degree was established in 1960. Its programs are planned for teachers in service.
The first Master of Arts program (history) was established in 1968 and
the first Master of Science program (biology) in 1971.
The purpose of programs for the professional degree, Master of Education, is to enhance the competence of teachers. The purpose of a Master
of Arts program is to advance the student's scholarship in an academic discipline, and that of a Master of Science program is to develop mature
scholarship and competence related primarily to application.
2.03

TIME LIMIT
All requirements for a master's degree, including

any courses

ac-

cepted by transfer, must be completed within six calendar years. This
period

may be extended by

the Graduate Council for sufficient reason.

Written application for extension must be

made

to the

Dean of Graduate

Studies prior to the end of the six-year period.

2.04

SCHEDULE OF CLASSES

Graduate classes taught in the regular academic year are usually
scheduled in late afternoons, evenings and Saturdays in order to provide
opportunity for teachers and individuals engaged in other full-time occupations to further their education. Graduate Courses are offered in the
summer terms in regular daytime classes.

TRANSFER OF CREDIT

2.11

A maximum of six semester hours in graduate courses taken in other
approved colleges may be credited toward a master's degree. The transferred courses must have been taken in residence; they must cover content
which is required in the student's program or recommended by the adviser
for elective credit; they must have grades of B or higher. In case a course
has been taken on a branch campus of a university, it will be construed as a
residence course

full-time graduate students are

to take a

EXAMINATIONS

The Miller Analogies Test is required of each student before he may
be admitted to candidacy for a Master's degree. The time and place of the
examination may be learned upon inquiry to the Dean of Graduate Studies.

A comprehensive examination in the specialization may be set by the
department as a degree requirement.
An examination in defense of a Master's Thesis is usually required of
students who choose to write a thesis.
2.16

is

MASTER'S THESIS

If a master's thesis is included in the student's program, a committee
appointed by the Dean of Graduate Studies from individuals nominated

LO

by the student's

adviser.

The committee

is

responsible for guiding the

study, certifying approval of the written report both in form and content,

arranging for the defense, certifying satisfactory completion of the thesis

and determining the grade.
Three bound copies of the thesis must be filed with the Dean of
Graduate Studies.
The student is responsible for following all of the thesis procedures
specified in a special bulletin which may be obtained in the Graduate Office.

Where the requirements

for a concentration for the Master of Educa-

tion degree include a departmental paper, such a paper

is interpreted as one
which grows out of a course and therefore does not require special registration nor carry its own credit. Completion of a departmental paper must be
certified by the adviser as a part of the application for graduation.

courses with graduate courses provided the total of undergraduate and
graduate courses does not exceed the normal loads as stated herein.
The recommendation of the student's undergraduate adviser, including his certification that the undergraduate courses listed will complete the

of semester hours for the courses; (2) add these products; (3) divide by the
