Student Responsibility

It is the student's responsibility to satisfy the requirements for graduation in
his/her 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/her decision

making, the

final responsibility rests with the student.

2.02 Degrees
The Master

of Education degree

planned for teachers

was established

in 1960. Its

programs are

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.
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.

Category 510 comprises students who do not express an intention to become

stipulated herein.

Students in Cateogry 510 may apply for transfer to Category 530 or Category

A student may choose to remain indefinitely in Category 510 (for example, a
student interested only in certification credit).

CATEGORY II (520)
This category comprises graduate students who in their application for admission
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 University, he/she is eligible for transfer to Categories 530 or 540;
otherwise, the student is transferred to Category 510 after nine semester hours have
indicated an intention to pursue a master's degree

been completed.

CATEGORY III (530)
Category 530 comprises individuals other than those in Category 520 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 540 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 completed.

CATEGORY IV (540)
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 540 in order to be eligible to apply for Admission to Candidacy for a master's
degree. A student in Category 540 who has not attained Admission to Candidacy after
completing 1 2 semester hours of graduate work is transferred to Category 5 1 0 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.

student are: to serve as consultant in the planning of the student's program and in his/her
choice of courses; to certify approval of the course as part of the student's degree

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.
An interview with the adviser is required prior to first registration for graduate
courses and prior to each subsequent registration.
Students in Category 510 are not assigned to advisers. They submit their
registration materials directly to the Office of the Dean of Graduate Studies. They may
regard the Dean of Graduate Studies as an adviser in case assistance is needed in
choosing courses or in interpreting academic regulations.
