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
A program to lead to the professional degree Master of Business Administration (MBA) was approved to be instituted in 1976-77.
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.

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.
2.05
ADMISSION TO GRADUATE COURSES
Admission to graduate courses
is granted upon: the filing of a formal application for admission, submitting of credentials which certify a baccalaureate degree
from an accredited college with a quality point average of 2.0 or higher (A=4),
and payment of a non-refundable application fee of $10.
Admission to graduate courses does not bind the college to admit the student
to candidacy for a master's degree.
The
regulations governing admission to candi-
dacy are stated in Section 2.22.
A temporary permit to register for an off-campus course as an adjunct student without formal admission to graduate courses may be granted to a college
graduate by the Dean of Graduate Studies.

granted by
(for
example,
a student interested only in certification credit).
CATEGORY II
This category comprises graduate students who in their application for admission indicated an intention to pursue a master's degree program but whose
undergraduate record showed a quality point average 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.
CATEGORY
III
Category III comprises individuals other than those in Category II who indicated an intention to pursue an existing master's degree program and who have
not yet been certified as clear of undergraduate deficiencies. Transfer to Category
IV is automatic when the adviser certifies to the graduate dean that there are no
undergraduate deficiencies to be made up for the chosen program, or when previously identified deficiencies have been successfully made up.
CATEGORY IV
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 TV 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.
CATEGORY 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 has not completed his program within the time limit (see Section 2.03).
2.07
ADVISEMENT OF GRADUATE STUDENTS
Graduate students in Categories II,

of a graduate student are: to serve as consultant in the planning of the student's
program and in his choice of courses; to certify approval of the course as part of
the student's degree program; to endorse the student's application for degree candi-
dacy; to arrange for a comprehensive examination if it is required by the program.
The adviser is appointed by the Dean of Graduate Studies upon recommendation of the department of the proposed specialization.

NUMBERING OF COURSES
Courses numbered 500 or higher are open only to graduate students. Courses
numbered below 500 and listed in this bulletin are open also to advanced undergraduates. The number of credits in such courses which may be applied to a degree
is limited to twelve semester hours. It is understood that graduate students enrolled
in these courses will exhibit work of graduate calibre in their independent study
and
their papers.
2.11
TRANSFER OF CREDIT
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 if full-time graduate students are accommodated to take a degree program on that campus.

The importance of art
activity as a

of enriching and stimulating a special child's
awareness of himself and his world is stressed. Emphasis is placed on those positive aspects
for creative activity which the handicapped child possesses. Since an image, perceptual or
cognitive, is an almost instantaneous form of acquiring knowledge, those areas dealing with
imagery become vital to the educational process of children who are unable to comprehend
abstractions or who have need of intense learning situations. These images may be a finalized
visual experience or may serve as a catalyst to introduce or reinforce other learnings. The
aesthetic experience involved in art experiences can be used to increase a feeling of self-worth
or to satisfy a basic human need for creative and aesthetic satisfaction.

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
A program to lead to the professional degree Master of Business Administration (MBA) was approved to be instituted in 1976-77.
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.

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.
2.05
ADMISSION TO GRADUATE COURSES
Admission to graduate courses
is granted upon: the filing of a formal application for admission, submitting of credentials which certify a baccalaureate degree
from an accredited college with a quality point average of 2.0 or higher (A=4),
and payment of a non-refundable application fee of $10.
Admission to graduate courses does not bind the college to admit the student
to candidacy for a master's degree.
The
regulations governing admission to candi-
dacy are stated in Section 2.22.
A temporary permit to register for an off-campus course as an adjunct student without formal admission to graduate courses may be granted to a college
graduate by the Dean of Graduate Studies.

granted by
(for
example,
a student interested only in certification credit).
CATEGORY II
This category comprises graduate students who in their application for admission indicated an intention to pursue a master's degree program but whose
undergraduate record showed a quality point average 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.
CATEGORY
III
Category III comprises individuals other than those in Category II who indicated an intention to pursue an existing master's degree program and who have
not yet been certified as clear of undergraduate deficiencies. Transfer to Category
IV is automatic when the adviser certifies to the graduate dean that there are no
undergraduate deficiencies to be made up for the chosen program, or when previously identified deficiencies have been successfully made up.
CATEGORY IV
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 TV 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.
CATEGORY 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 has not completed his program within the time limit (see Section 2.03).

NUMBERING OF COURSES
Courses numbered 500 or higher are open only to graduate students. Courses
numbered below 500 and listed in this bulletin are open also to advanced undergraduates. The number of credits in such courses which may be applied to a degree
is limited to twelve semester hours. It is understood that graduate students enrolled
in these courses will exhibit work of graduate calibre in their independent study
and
their papers.
2.11
TRANSFER OF CREDIT
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 if full-time graduate students are accommodated to take a degree program on that campus.

The importance of art
activity as a

of enriching and stimulating a special child's
awareness of himself and his world is stressed. Emphasis is placed on those positive aspects
for creative activity which the handicapped child possesses. Since an image, perceptual or
cognitive, is an almost instantaneous form of acquiring knowledge, those areas dealing with
imagery become vital to the educational process of children who are unable to comprehend
abstractions or who have need of intense learning situations. These images may be a finalized
visual experience or may serve as a catalyst to introduce or reinforce other learnings. The
aesthetic experience involved in art experiences can be used to increase a feeling of self-worth
or to satisfy a basic human need for creative and aesthetic satisfaction.
