For half-time graduate
assistants, the course load is 6 to 9 semester

For summer sessit)ns, the maximum
course load is 1 semester hour per week of fulltime course work. (For example, if the summer session is six full weeks, the maximum
course load during that session is 6 semester

Gredit is measured in terms of semester

be made at the time of the application for candidacy and submitted on an application form
ter

available in the Office of Ciraduate Studies.

After formal admission to the School of
Graduate Studies, all requests to take and tran.sfer graduate credits must be pre-approved by
the program coordinator. Students must have

taken the course(s) in residence and the content of the course(s) must match the required
areas of study in the student's master's program
at Bloomsburg. Transfer credit must be capable of counting toward a graduate degree at
the institution at which the coiuse was taken.

graduate programs mav implement more stringent requirements.

Academic Grievance Procedure
Alleged academic injustices relating to
grades or professional conduct should be resohed informally, if possible. The student
should first discuss the matter with the concerned faculty member, appropriate chairperson, and college dean or the .Assistant \'ice
President and Dean of Graduate Studies and
Reseai'ch. In order for the matter to be resolved
expeditiously, the consultation (s) should take
place as soon as possible af ter the alleged incident has occurred. If informal attempts to resolve the matter are unsuccessful, the student
should consult with the Assistant Vice President
and Dean of Graduate Studies and Research
who will inform the student of prt)cedures for
initiating a formal grievance with the .Academic Grievance Cxiordinator for a hearing before
the Academic Grievance Board.

• Those who already work in business, industry or health care settings as trainers and
developers, but seek a formalized degree structured for their needs and f urther development
• Those who wish to become instructional
technology resource specialists in private, public or higher education
The curriculum concentrates on the application of computer and other emerging technologies to education and training, with an
emphasis directed towards the design, de\elopment, production and e\aliiation of computer-based interactive multimedia coiuseware.
Master's candidates base the opportimit\ to
