SCHEDULE OF CLASSES
Graduate
classes taught
in

comprises students who do not express an intention to
become candidates for a master's degree in one of the programs for which
a degree or certificate is authorized, or who have been transferred to this
category from other categories as stipulated below.
Students in Category I may apply for transfer to Category III or
Category IV. Not more than 12 semester hours taken as a student in
Category I may be applied toward a master's degree unless a special
dispensation is granted by the Dean of Graduate Studies.
A student may choose to remain indefinitely in Category I (for
example, a student interested only in certification credit).

lower than 2.25. If a student in this category makes an average of 3.0 or
higher in the first six to nine semester hours of graduate study at Bloomsburg State College, he/she is eligible for transfer to Categories III or IV;
otherwise, the student is transferred to Category I after nine semester
hours have been completed.

This category comprises graduate students who have no undergraduate deficiencies for the master's degree programs which they are pursuing.
A student must be in Category IV in order to be eligible to apply for
Admission to Candidacy for a master's degree. A student in Category IV
who has not attained Admission to Candidacy after completing 12 semester
hours of graduate work is transferred to Category I unless an extension of
time has been granted by the Dean of Graduate Studies. The request for
extension of time must certify that the delay was the result of circumstances beyond the control of the student and must be endorsed by the
student's adviser.
CA TEGOR Y V
This category comprises students who have been admitted to candidacy for a master's degree. An individual in Category V is transferred to
Category I if his cumulative quality point average falls below 3.0, or if he

of semester hours for the courses; (2) add these products; (3) divide by the
sum of the semester hours for all grades which entered the computation.

ADMISSION TO CANDIDACY FOR A MASTER'S DEGREE
Admission to Candidacy for a Master's Degree is subject to the following conditions:
(1) The student must be in Category IV (See Section 2.06).
(2) Transcripts of all undergraduate and previous graduate study
must be on
(3)
file in the office of the Dean of Graduate Studies.
The Graduate Qualifying Test (Miller Analogies Test) must have
been taken with a satisfactory score. (Master of Business Administration
Management Ad-
students must have successfully completed the Graduate
missions Test.)
(4) The student must file an application for Admission to Candidacy with the Dean of Graduate Studies after nine semester hours (or
immediately after 12 semester hours) of the proposed program. Under
certain circumstances the dean may approve an extension of time. The
application must be endorsed by the student's adviser; the endorsement
presumes that the adviser has had adequate opportunity to formulate
judgment about the student's ability, and recommends candidacy.
(5) A student who is applying for candidacy for the Master of
Education degree must have filed with the Dean of Graduate Study
evidence of possession of a valid teaching certificate.
MASTER OF EDUCATION DEGREE/13
In case enrollment in a curriculum or in certain required courses
thereof is restricted due to limited capacity, and a priority for admission
has been established, the adviser may inform an advisee who is making
satisfactory progress that endorsement of his application for Admission
to Candidacy is being deferred until space can be assured. It is the responsibility of the student to inform the Dean of Graduate Studies of the
reason for the delay in filing the application.

MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DEGREE
6.2 THE MASTER OF BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION DEGREE (MBA)
Philosophy and Objectives
The program for the degree, Master of Business Administration
(MBA), is planned to reflect the curriculum standards of the American
Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business. It is oriented toward the
decision-making responsibilities of management; consequently, it is broadbased and aims to develop perspective. It also provides a limited opportunity to elect courses in an area of specialization.
Admission to the Courses of the Program
in the program is limited; therefore, admission to the
courses is selective. The applicant must hold a baccalaureate degree from
an accredited college or university. While no undergraduate major is prescribed, a minimum body of 30 credits in background courses in basic
Enrollment
business subjects is required as outlined below. The overall quality point
average must have been 2.50 or higher; or if based on only the last two
years of undergraduate work, must have been a 2.75 or higher. Require-
ments for admission to the Master of Business Administration program
are based on a combination of undergraduate gradepoint average and score
on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT). A score of 950
or more points based on the formula: 200 times the overall undergraduate
gradepoint average plus the GMAT score; or at least 1,000 points based on
the formula: 200 times the last two years of undergraduate gradepoint
average plus the
GMAT score.
Admissions
criteria

candidacy for the degree. The procedure for admission to candidacy is
described in Section 2.22.

Students in Category I may apply for transfer to Category III or
Category IV. Not more than 12 semester hours taken as a student in
Category I may be applied toward a master's degree unless a special
dispensation is granted by the Dean of Graduate Studies.
A student may choose to remain indefinitely in Category I (for

Admission to Candidacy for a master's degree. A student in Category IV
who has not attained Admission to Candidacy after completing 12 semester
hours of graduate work is transferred to Category I unless an extension of

extension of time must certify that the delay was the result of circumstances beyond the control of the student and must be endorsed by the
student's adviser.

students must have successfully completed the Graduate
missions Test.)
(4) The student must file an application for Admission to Candidacy with the Dean of Graduate Studies after nine semester hours (or
immediately after 12 semester hours) of the proposed program. Under
certain circumstances the dean may approve an extension of time. The
application must be endorsed by the student's adviser; the endorsement
presumes that the adviser has had adequate opportunity to formulate
judgment about the student's ability, and recommends candidacy.
(5) A student who is applying for candidacy for the Master of
Education degree must have filed with the Dean of Graduate Study
evidence of possession of a valid teaching certificate.

In case enrollment in a curriculum or in certain required courses
thereof is restricted due to limited capacity, and a priority for admission
has been established, the adviser may inform an advisee who is making
satisfactory progress that endorsement of his application for Admission
to Candidacy is being deferred until space can be assured. It is the responsibility of the student to inform the Dean of Graduate Studies of the
reason for the delay in filing the application.

MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DEGREE
6.2 THE MASTER OF BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION DEGREE (MBA)
Philosophy and Objectives
The program for the degree, Master of Business Administration
(MBA), is planned to reflect the curriculum standards of the American
Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business. It is oriented toward the
decision-making responsibilities of management; consequently, it is broadbased and aims to develop perspective. It also provides a limited opportunity to elect courses in an area of specialization.
Admission to the Courses of the Program
in the program is limited; therefore, admission to the
courses is selective. The applicant must hold a baccalaureate degree from
an accredited college or university. While no undergraduate major is prescribed, a minimum body of 30 credits in background courses in basic
Enrollment
business subjects is required as outlined below. The overall quality point
average must have been 2.50 or higher; or if based on only the last two
years of undergraduate work, must have been a 2.75 or higher. Require-
ments for admission to the Master of Business Administration program
are based on a combination of undergraduate gradepoint average and score
on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT). A score of 950
or more points based on the formula: 200 times the overall undergraduate
gradepoint average plus the GMAT score; or at least 1,000 points based on
the formula: 200 times the last two years of undergraduate gradepoint
average plus the
GMAT score.
