ACADEMIC POLICIES
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
planned
of Education degree was established in 1960.
Its
programs are
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 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. Bloomsburg offers numerous programs of study leading to master's
degrees.

(for

student interested only in certification credit).
CATEGORY II (520)
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 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 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 idenfified
deficiencies have been successfully completed.
CATEGORY IV (540)
This category comprises graduate students who have no undergraduate deficiendegree 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
cies for the master's
completing 12 semester hours of graduate work is transferred to Category 510 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 (550)
This category comprises students who have been admitted to candidacy for a
master's degree. An individual in Category 550 is transferred to Category 510 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).

ACADEMIC POLICIES
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
planned
of Education degree was established in 1960.
Its
programs are
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 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. Bloomsburg offers numerous programs of study leading to master's
degrees.

(for

student interested only in certification credit).
CATEGORY II (520)
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 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 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 idenfified
deficiencies have been successfully completed.
CATEGORY IV (540)
This category comprises graduate students who have no undergraduate deficiendegree 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
cies for the master's
completing 12 semester hours of graduate work is transferred to Category 510 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 (550)
This category comprises students who have been admitted to candidacy for a
master's degree. An individual in Category 550 is transferred to Category 510 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).
