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 stu-
dent in his/her decision making, the final responsibility rests with the student.
2.02
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 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.

categories as stipulated herein.

540.
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 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 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 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.
CA TEGOR Y 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).
2.07
Advisement Of Graduate Students
Graduate students in Categories 520, 530, 540 and 550, and in the Supervisory

Arrange to take the standardized examination, if any, required by your department. This must be taken before you can be presented for candidacy. Effective with
the 1986 Fall Semester, graduate students will be required to pay a fee for any testing
required by their department. Payment for the Miller Analogies Test must be made
to the University Business Office. Fees for other testings will be payable to the

Those holding a bachelor's degree who wish to receive a formal academic degree in
order to enter a career in the training and development sector of business, industry, non- profit
institutions or government.
2. Those who wish to become instructional technology resource specialists for faculty in
primary or secondary education through an individual school, a district or an intermediate
unit; and those who wish to become curriculum developers in higher education.
3. Those who hold a bachelor's or master's degree in a basic field and who are working in
business, industry or health care settings as trainers and developers, but who seek a formalized
degree structured for their needs and further development.
The curriculum of the program emphasizes application of computer and other emerging
technologies to instruction and incorporates a human resources development component
within the general theme of curriculum development. The courses in the program address the
competencies of the American Society for Training and Development.

The Master Of Business
Master of Business Administration Degree
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 broad-based 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: Enrollment 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 business subjects is required as outlined herein.
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. Requirements for admission to the Master of Business Administration program are based on a combination of

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 stu-
dent in his/her decision making, the final responsibility rests with the student.
2.02
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 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.

categories as stipulated herein.
Students

540.
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 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 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 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

The Master Of Business
Master of Business Administration Degree
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 broad-based 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: Enrollment 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 business subjects is required as outlined herein.
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. Requirements 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 must be achieved based on the formula: 200 times the
score; or at least 1,000 points based
overall undergraduate gradepoint av erage plus the
on the formula; 200 times the last two years of undergraduate gradepoint average plus the
GMAT
GMAT
score.
Admissions criteria include the GMAT score, the undergraduate record, statements by two
references and job experience.
Admission to Candidacy for MBA Degree: Admission to the courses of the program does not
imply admission to candidacy for the degree. The procedure for admission to candidacy is
COLLEGE OF BUSINESS/63
Program of Study: The total program for the MBA degree comprises two levels of courses.
Level I consists of background courses or experiences that are prerequisite to Level II. Students
whose undergraduate major was in Business Administration are likely to have had most, or
perhaps all, of the courses of Level I; they may be exempted from courses which duplicate their
undergraduate work. Level
I
must be completed before entering the Level
II
program.
The courses of Level are Financial Accounting or Principles of Accounting II, Principles of
Management, Principles of Marketing, Statistics, Business Law, Business Finance, Principles
of Economics (two semesters) and two semesters of Mathematics, including one semester of
calculus. In the undergraduate catalog of Bloomsburg University, these are numbered respectively: 91.220 or 222; 93.344; 97.310; 40.346; 98.331; 96.313; 40.211 and 212; and 53.123 plus
