The College
California State College, one of fourteen institutions of higher learning
owned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, traces its origin to the establishment of an academy in 1852. The community of California took its name
during the Gold Rush of 1849.
Job Johnson, one of the founding fathers of the town, was also the leader in
planning educational facilities for the new community. Concerning the vital
role he played, Wickersham's History of Education in Pennsylvania said:
" Foremost in pushing forward the educational movement was Job Johnson, a
Quaker in this Scotch-Irish country, and a man of great public spirit." The
town's original incorporators, spurred by Johnson, were also the founders of
the College. They constructed a two-story bui lding of hand- pressed brick near
the site of the community's current junior high school.
The academy opened in 1852 with Professor Ellis N . Johnson , a nephew of
Job Johnson, as the first principal. The school was considered an essential
ingredient of the town and was supported by a community tax.
Purchase of a 10-acre plot for the academy - on which most of the older
buildings still stand - was completed on November 14, 1864, at the price of
$133.44.
A total educational attempt was made at the new academy, extending from
the kindergarten to the college level. The higher education portion of the curriculum was largely liberal arts.
Economic problems soon forced the College to seek funds beyond the community. The State Normal School Act of 1857 provided an opportunity for state
funding, and the trustees sought to have the academy designated as the
Normal School for the 10th District. They obtained a charter in 1865, converting the school to a teacher-preparatory institution, and the curriculum was
modified to include a three-credit course entitled "The Art of Teaching."
In 1874, the College was named the South Western State Normal School
with an emphasis solely on teacher preparation. The new normal school
adopted the "trimester" plan in order to assist in teacher improvement.
The trustees and stockholders sold the school to the Commonwealth in
1914, when it became California State Normal School. Departments of
physical culture and commercial training were discontinued at that time, and
the College concentrated exclusively on a two-year preparatory course for
elementary school teachers.
Another switch in direction and goals occurred in 1928, when the Commonwealth changed the normal school to a four-year, degree-granting State
Teachers College. Emphasis at this time was also focused on preparation for
secondary schools, industrial arts and atypical or special education.
In 1959, the College assumed its present name as a reflection of its
expanded role as a multi-purpose institution. A Graduate School was established in 1961 . The Arts and Sciences Program was initiated in 1962. Further
expansion of the College's mission and goals occurred in 1974, when the
Schools of Science and Technology and Continuing Education were established.

THE CAMPUS
The College is in the Borough of California, a community of approximately
six thousand residents located in Washington County on the west bank of the
Monongahela River, about a one-hour drive south of Pittsburgh. It is
accessible from the north via Interstate 70 and State Route 88. and from the
south by U.S. Route 40 (the Old National Pike} and State Route 88. A new (currently under construction} limited access highway will eventually link the
campus directly with Interstate 70 and other limited access highways. The
College is approximately one hour from Greater Pittsburgh International Airport.
The main campus consists of 33 buildings situated on 59 acres. A modern
football stadium, including an all-weather track, seven tennis courts, a baseball diamond, playing areas for intramural sports, and picnic facilities are
located on some 83 acres at the College Recreation Center on Route 88,
approximately two miles south of the main campus.

THE AREA
The geographic location of the College gives the resident student opportunities to explore and pursue a wide variety of activities. Located in the
Appalachian Plateau, an area of low rolling hills, the College is a short drive
from camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, white water rafting and canoeing, and
skiing activities in the Laurel Mountains. In addition to cultural activities provided on campus, the student has easy access to the Pittsburgh metropolitan
area. This easy access provides the student an opportunity to enjoy the Pittsburgh Symphony, the Pittsburgh Ballet, the Civic Light Opera, David L.
Lawrence Convention Center, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Penquins, Pirates,
various museums and all of the excitements and attractions of a major metropolitan area.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The alumni of California State College have been organized since 1939.
This organization numbers more than 20,000 graduates and former students of
the College.
The Association attempts to advance the growth and development of the
College through individual and group endeavor; to foster beneficial
relationships among alumni, students, and the College; and to encourage outstanding academic and extracurricular achievement by the undergraduate and
graduate students.
There are a number of services available to alumni, including a travel program to destinations around the world; a quarterly publication - The
California Review: use of the library and other College facilities; help from the
Placement Office in locating a job; and many social events, including Homecoming and Alumni Day.
The Office of Alumni Relations, located in Old Main, Room 113, is the center
of alumni activity on campus. The office maintains the alumni records, assists
in conducting the affairs of the Association, and serves as the communication's center and clearing house for all alumni activities. Alumni are always
welcome.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS DEPARTMENT
The Special Programs Department provides academic support services to
students anticipating or experiencing difficulty in adjusting to and coping
effectively with academic and related non-academic challenges. Personal
assistance is prov ided to promote academic success. Provision of academic
advisement and instruction, tutoring, and guidance gives students the opportunity to develop the motivation and skills needed for achievement of their
educational goals. Special Programs provides services to the entire student
population ; however, its efforts are largely aimed at students whose educational or economic background has made it difficult for them to complete a college degree program .
Services are provided by both professional staff and student assistants in
the following two areas:
Tutorial and Instructional Services: Most freshmen level courses are
tutored . Tutors review lecture notes, check and review the student's knowledge of the textbook and other course materials, and teach vocabulary words
needed for the course. A three-credit course entitled Reading, Study and
Listening Skills is offered to incoming freshmen .
Guidance Services: Counselors conduct initial interviews with each
student; provide an orientation day for all new students; help students to
schedule and register; monitor each student's academic progress; and provide
information concerning College policy , procedures , and practices. Academic
advisement and vocational guidance are also provided . Students are encouraged to discuss personal problems with departmental counselors . All discussions are treated confidentially. In many cases, students are referred to one of
the several other student services offices for additional assistance.
The Special Programs Department is located in Room 107 Herron Hall.
Office hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Anyone
desiring services or information is encouraged to stop at the office or call
938-4231 .

THE COMPUTER CENTER
The California State College Computer Center provides academic and
administrative computer services to the College community utilizing a Sperry/
Univac 90/60 computer. The Center is located in Room 8-13, World Culture
Building and is available for student use a minimum of 80 hours per week.
Extended hours during academic terms are published at the Center.
Students, faculty, and staff may use the computer facility in either the batch
or interactive modes. A user's guide is available as well as selected documentation for library programs in statistics, language processors, graphics, and
other areas. Experienced help is available from staff members and from
student assistants who are in the work-study program .
Students who are taking courses in Computer Science are automatically
identified to the computer as valid users. Any other student may secure an
application for a computer user identification by coming to the Computer
Center information window at Room 8-12 , World Culture Building.

Academic Policies
and Procedures
Students are held responsible for securing current information about the
official College policies and for meeting all relevant requirements as listed in
this catalog .
The College reserves the right to change policies, curriculum requirements, and other provisions at any time.
Students are required to follow the provisions of the catalog and curriculum
guide that are in effect at the time of their enrollment. Students who have interrupted their education for more than one year will become subject to the provisions of the current catalog or curriculum guide.

ACADEMIC CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS
A full-time undergraduate student is defined as one who is enrolled for 12 or
more credits in a semester. A student enrolled for less than 12 credits per
semester is classified as a part-time student.
In designating students by their class, the following credit hour ranges are
used :
1-31 credits
Freshmen
Sophomores
32-63 credits
Juniors
64-95 credits
Seniors
96 or more credits
These class designations are based on credits passed, not on credits
attempted .
Transfer credits may be counted only after an evaluation of official transscripts has been made by the appropriate School Dean .

ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWALS FROM COLLEGE
Administrative withdrawals of students are initiated by College officials for
compelling reasons which are stated below. All such withdrawals will be
governed by the following regulations and procedures.
1. The College administration has the authority to withdraw a student from
College and to revoke that student's registration at any time for the following reasons :
A. Registration in violation of College regulations (i.e., academic ineligibility to register) .
B. Failure of the student to comply with academic requirements (i.e., unsatisfactory class attendar:tee).
C. Failure to pay College fees by the deadline.

16

D. Disciplinary suspension (or dismissal) for the remainder of an academic
term .
E. Severe psychological/health problems where the student cannot be
permitted to continue in attendance.
F. For other reasons deemed appropriate by the proper administrative
officer.
2. Except for academic ineligibility, tne date of the administrative withdrawal
will be used to determine the amount of fees to be assessed or cancelled .
(NOTE : In most cases, the regular fee assessment and refund policies of the
College will prevail.)
3. If a student registers in violation of the academic eligibility rule, the registration will be declared invalid and the fees paid by the student will be refunded
in full. No grades will be recorded.
4. Policy for recording grades:
A. For administrative withdrawals during the first six weeks of a semester
(or two weeks in a six-weeks summer session), the grading symbol WX
will be recorded for all courses on the student's schedule. No other
grades, including incompletes, will be assigned .
B. After six weeks (or after two weeks in a summer session), the date of the
administrative withdrawal and the reason for the withdrawal will be considered in assigning grades.
(1) Disciplinary suspension or dismissal - only WP or WF grades will
be recorded .
(2) For psychological/health reasons - WX or incomplete grades may
be assigned . (Instructors would have to consent to assigning
incomplete grades. If they are opposed, WX grades will be
recorded .)
(3) For failure to pay fees - only WX grades will be recorded.
C. The WX grading symbol is not computed in the student's grade point
average and therefore carries no academic penalty. In all cases where
WX grades are mandatory, the Dean of Academic Records will submit a
written authorization for the Data Center to record this withdrawal
symbol.
5. The Dean of Academic Records has the authority to backdate an administrative withdrawal if circumstances warrant such action.
6. Disciplinary suspensions (or dismissals) for the remainder of an academic
term shall be initiated by the appropriate authority in the Student Develop-

ment Office and written notification shall be sent without delay to the Office
of Academic Records . The Dean of Academic Records will cancel the student's registration, notify other administrative offices on a "need to know"
basis, and inform the faculty members involved of the action taken .

ADVANCED STANDING
The College approves the advanced standing opportunity for high school
students only under exceptional circumstances and only with the full cooperation of the student's high school principal. Most frequently, high school
students will avail themselves of the advanced placement opportunity on a

17

part-time basis. Occasionally early admission is possible , but only after a
mutally agreeable arrangement has been worked out with the high school
involved. It is not presently the practice of this College to recruit high school
juniors for early admissions. The final decisions on advanced standing applications are made by the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs .

APPEALING A GRADE
In appealing a grade, a student should contact the instructor to discuss the
grade which was assigned . If the student is not satisfied with the explanation ,
the student should then contact the Department Chairman. If accord is not
reached at this level, the student may then appeal to the School Dean. The final
source of appeal is the Vice President for Academic Affairs . This step should be
taken only if there is no possibility for a resolution at an earlier stage and only if
the student is convinced that arbitrary and/ or capricious standards were
applied.
It must be understood that it is not the policy of the administration to change
a grade duly assigned by an instructor. It is the policy of the administration and
the faculty to provide students with an opportunity to voice their concerns on
all matters, including grades.

AWARDING A SECOND GRADE
California State College offers students the opportunity to work for a
second undergraduate degree. A student who has completed the Bachelor's
degree program may work on another Bachelor's .degree without doing four
years college work , and the student enrolled in the degree program is permitted to complete the requirements of a second degree by doing as little as one
additional year of undergraduate work . The specific requirements for this
program are as follows:
1. Anyone possessing a Bachelor's degree or anyone currently working on a
degree at this institution is eligible.
2. A minimum of thirty (30) semester hours in addition to the first degree will
be required .
3. Student must meet all requirements of Area of Concentrat ion with advisor's
and/ or department's approval. (Interpretation : Those courses the student
has taken for the first degree will be entered on the graduation check-out
evaluat ion as though they were transfer credits. )
4. The second degree policy should not be confused with the procedure for
students in the School of Education working on a second field of certification . Students may choose to work on a second teaching certificate by
meeting the certification requirements without applying for or meeting the
requirements for a second degree.

CLASS ATTENDANCE POLICY
Regular class attendance is a prerequisite to successful academic work. It is
the responsibility of the student to inform all of his instructors of the cause of
an absence. If a student koows in advance that a class must be missed, the
instructor should be notified if possible, and the student should arrange to

18

make up examinations or other work . In the event of illness, students should
report to the College infirmary.
Since the College has a no cut system, unexplained class absences will be
recorded as unexcused absences. An excessive number of class cuts may be
considered by the instructor in determining the final grade of the student.
This policy permits class absences for cause but places the responsibility
for successful completion of the work on the student.

CO-CURRICULAR CREDIT
Students may secure the privilege of carrying more than the 16 credits on
regular semester schedule by demonstrating their ability to do better than
average college work. Honor credits may be granted by the Vice President for
Academic Affairs based upon the grade point average earned by the student in
the preceeding semester as follows:
Co-curricular activity - Band
Co-curricular activity - Choir
Co-curricular activity - Inter-Residence Hall Council
Co-curricular activity - Publications
Co-curricular activity - Student Government
Co-curricular activity - Theatre
These credits in all instances are free electives and will not count toward any
particular area of specialization . Students may not receive more than four cocurricular credits toward graduation. Only one co-curricular activity credit can
be earned each semester.

COLLEGE LEVEL EQUIVALENCY PROGRAM (CLEP)
California State College also offers the adult student the opportunity to earn
college credits in two ways other than regular classroom attendance. These
are the College Level Equivalency Program (CLEP) and the awarding of Life
Experience Credits.
The CLEP program is a composit of two testing categories. They are
General Examination and Subject Examination .
The General Examination is a series of tests in five separate areas. The areas
are: English Composition, Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Humanities, and
Social Sciences - History. A student' may take any or all of these tests, with the
possibility of earning as many as forty college credits .
The Subject Examination is a comprehensive test covering one subject
such as General Psychology, Statistics, etc. A student who successfully
passes one of these examinations will be awarded credit for a comparable
course at the Collegy.
The CLEP program is administered by the College 's Associate Vice
President for Academic Affairs. Further information concerning the program is
available in Room 236 of the Administration Building . There is a $25.00 fee for
evaluation of the CLEP results and the recording of those results on the student's transcript.

19

LIFE EXPERIENCE
Life Experience credits are awarded for various non-collegiate kinds of
tra ining that a student has received . These awards are pred icated " on the
pos ition that it is sound educati onal practice to grant academ ic credit for
qual ity educational programs conducted by non-colleg iate organizations ,
provided that the courses are at the college level , and the cred it is appropriate
to an individual's educational program" (American Council on Education ,
1976) .
Life Experience awards at the College are limited to the elective category.
The maximum number of life experience credits awarded is thirty . These
credits must be awarded prior to the student's completion of the last thirty
credits required for graduation .
Applications for Life Experience credit awards are secured from the Office
of the Dean of each Schoo l. After the applicat ion is screened , it is presented to
the Life Experience Council. If a cred it award is made, a fe e of $25.00 is
required of the student in order to record the award on the student's official
transcript.

20

COMMENCEMENT HONORS
Commencement Honors are awarded to a limited number of students in the
graduating class. Not more than one-eighth of the class may receive honors. A
minimum of two (2) years residence is required to receive commencement
honors.
Highest Honors ........ . ..... Grade Point Average 3.75 to 4.00
High Honors . . ............... Grade Point Average 3.50 to 3.74
Honors ...................... Grade Point Average 3.25 to 3.49
This recognition can be bestowed only upon evidence of unusual ability as
shown by scholastic records and in keeping with standards established and
approved by the faculty.

COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL FROM COLLEGE
A student who decides to withdraw from College during any academic term ,
regardless of the reason, is required to report to the Office of Academic
Records and obtain withdrawal forms. After the completion of a withdrawal
interview the student must obtain a clearance from several administrative
offices, including the Business Office. Upon receipt of the clearance form and
review of the student's records and status, the Dean of Academic Records will
certify as to the type of withdrawal.
In the event a student cannot arrange for his withdrawal personally as indicated above, he must notify the Office of Academic Records by telephone or by
letter immediately. All withdrawals from College will be governed by the following regulations:
1. An honorable dismissal will be granted to a student who withdrawals from
College in the official manner, has met all financial obligations to the College, and has been properly cleared by the Dean of Academic Records.
2. If the student withdraws officially, a W grade will be recorded for each
course scheduled . A W grade carries no academic penalty and is not
counted in the student's grade point average. For an official withdrawal
from a six-weeks session, W grades will be recorded during the first two (2)
weeks only.
3. After the sixth week of a semester, a student who makes an official withdrawal must receive WP or WF grades in all courses scheduled. Instructors
must assign A, B, C, D, or F grades, and the School Dean must translate A,
B, C grades to WP and D or F grades to WF. For six-week courses the WPWF grades will be assigned after the end of the second week.
4. No student will be permitted to withdraw officially from College during the
last three (3) weeks of a semester or summer term.
5. Leaving College without notifying the Office of Academic Records and
making an official withdrawal will result in automatic failure for all courses
scheduled. It will also make the student ineligible for any refund of College
fees. Improper withdrawals of this type will be classified as "not in goo·d
standing."

21

COMPUTATION OF THE GRADE POINT AVERAGE
A student's grade point average is calculated by dividing the total number of
grade points earned in standard courses at California State College by the total
number of credit hours scheduled. Exceptions to this procedure are indicated
below.
In computing a student's grade point average {GPA), the following rules are
in effect:
1. Courses transferred officially from other colleges, advanced placement
courses, courses passed by examination, courses in which a P grade was
assigned, life experience credits, and credits granted for military service are
not counted in the grade point average.
2. When a course is repeated, only the repeat grade will be counted in the
grade point average.
3. No record of a failing grade will be kept if a student elects to take a course
by examination and subsequently fails the examination .
' 4. In the Pass/Fail Grading System, a grade of P will not be counted in the
grade point average. However, the credits passed will be counted in the conventional manner. A failing grade under this system will be counted in the
grade point average.

LIFE EXPERIENCE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Each semester and during the summer months, the College participates in
an internship program in which students who have achieved junior status are
placed in off-campus field experiences. The Life Experience Internship Program places interns in state government offices, state-related agencies, private
associations and businesses. LEIP provides interns with practical experiences
related to their academic programs while earning college credit. Interested,
qualified students should contact their major Department Chairperson for
more information, or contact the Life Experience Internship Program, 800
North Third Street, Harrisburg, PA 17102. Telephone (717) 234-8213. Semester
internships will be discontinued at the end of the spring 1982 semester, while
internships during summer months will continue.

PASS/FAIL GRADING OPTION
The general education program provides for limited use of a Pass/Fail
grading system. Students may schedule no more than two (2) general education courses each semester on a P/F basis. No more than five (5) such P/F
courses may be counted toward graduation. Students shall designate which
courses they want to take on a P/F basis after registration by completing forms
in the Office of Academic Records. Changes in these P/F Contracts may be
made during the first six weeks of the semester. (For six-week summer
courses, the deadline is two weeks.)
Students will receive the grade of "P" for A, B, C, or D earned in courses
designated as "P-F." The grade of "P" will give credit hours in the course, but
the grade point average will not be affected by a "P" grade. "F" has the same
meaning under the conventional system presently in effect and this P-F
Grading System.
In no way shall a student be identified to the instructor who shall continue to
grade all students in the regular manner. The regular grade submitted by the
instructor will be converted to P or F before grade reports are mailed to students.

INCOMPLETE GRADES
The policy governing incomplete grades is as follows:

1. An incomplete grade should be removed by special arrangement between
the student and the instructor within one calendar year after the receipt of
the incomplete grade. (NOTE: The student is not required to register for the
course again.)
2. After the work has been completed, the instructor should submit a regular
Change of Grade form to the Dean of Academic Records.
3. After a lapse of one calendar year, the incomplete grade is converted to 1-F.
This 1-F grade carries no grade point penalty, but it does mean that the
course and the grade cannot be removed from the academic record. In
order to receive credit for a course recorded as 1-F, a student must reschedule the course and complete it. Only the repeat grade will be considered in
computing the student's grade point average.

29

4. For a student who withdraws from the College immediately after incurring
an "INC" grade, a statute of limitations of five years is imposed upon the
removal of the incomplete. After the lapse of five calendar years, the incomplete grade automatically becomes an F grade. This F grade can be removed
only when the course is repeated . Students who return to the College prior
to the lapse of this five year statute must comply with number one above.

,

I

5. The incomplete is to be used when the instructor is convinced the student
can complete work or "makeup" work which has been missed or is incomplete because of reasons acceptable to the instructor. However, in all cases
the instructor has the option of submitting a final grade based on work completed. The instructor may refuse to accept last work . These grading
policies should be made clear to the students during the first week of
classes. However, instructors are expected to avoid penalizing students for
illness where makeups are possible or where grading on work complete is
reasonable.
6. When a grade card is received and the student had not attended the class
during the term, mark "Not Enrolled" on the grade card and return it to the
Data Processing Office. ·

READMISSION OF STUDENTS
A student who desires to return to California after a lapse of three consecutive terms must apply for readmission by contacting the appropriate School
Dean .
A student who has been dismissed for unsatisfactory academic
performance may only be considered for readmission in accordance with the
conditions of the dismissal. Usually , the student is not considered for
readmission for a minimum of one semester. (Refer to the section on Academic
Dismissals.)
In the case of a suspension, or dismissal , for disciplinary reasons, the student must (a) comply fully with the conditions of the dismissal , and (b) receive
permission from the Vice President of Student Development and Services to
return to College.
In all cases , applications for readmission should be submitted to the proper
administrator at least one month before the registration date for the term in
which the student desires to enroll.
Finally, all readmission applicants must be cleared by the Business Office.
No former student can be readmitted until the past indebtedness, if any, has
been paid in full .

REQUESTS FOR ACADEMIC TRANSCRIPTS
Students who need transcripts of their academic records and certificates of
good standing and honorable dismissal may secure them from the Office of
Academic Records, Room 103, Administration Building.
Transcript requests will be processed according to the following
regulations:
1. A transcript request must be made In writing . This written request is the
official authorization for the Dean of Academic Records to release a copy of

30

the student's academic record to a third party, or institution, as designated
by the student. The request may be made as follows:
a. By completing a request form in the Office of Academic Records (Room
103, Adm inistration Bu ilding), or
b. By writing a letter to the same office indicating the number of transcripts
required , type of transcript (undergraduate, graduate, or both), name
and address of person making the request, and specific instructions as to
where the transcript is to be sent (Example: Dean of the Graduate
School, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pa. 16802).
2. As a safeguard against improper disclosure of academic information, no
transcript requests will be accepted by telephone.
3. All transcripts will be issued in compliance with the provisions of the Family
Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended.
4. Transcript Fee: Each student is entitled upon proper request to receive one
transcript without charge. Thereafter, the fee is $2.00 for each transcript.
Payment in full by check or money order must be included with each
request sent by mail. (Checks or money orders must be made payable to.the
Comm_o nw~
f Penns lvania. Ful_l payment is required before transscript request can be processed.
5. In most cases, offic ial transcripts (bearing the College seal and signature of
the Dean of Academic Records) are mailed directly to the person, or
agency, designated by the student. If a transcript is issued directly to the
student, it will be stamped: ISSUED TO STUDENT. This means that the stu-_
dent preferred to receive the transcript in person. Transcripts marked in this
manner may not be acceptable as " official " documents when presented to a
third party by the student.
6. Transcript requests will be honored as quickly as possible in order of the
date of application . During busy periods such as registration , closing of a
session , and graduation , there will be some delay in processing the
requests. Therefore, it is advisable to submit requests well in advance of the
date the transcripts will be needed.
7. No transcripts will be issued for a student whose financial obligations to the
College have not been met. In such a situation, the academic record is
sealed. It cannot be released until the indebtedness is paid in full .
8. Any questions concerning these regulations and related problems ortransscript errors should be presented to the Dean of Academic Records.

Notice to Transcript Recipients:
Academic transcripts are issued to a third party, or agency, on the condition
that the recipient will not permit any other party, or agency, to have access to
the transcripts without the written consent of the student involved.

Agreement between the State Colleges and University, and Community College. This agreement applies to transferability of credits from Middle States or

40

other regionally approved two-year and junior colleges. The details of this
agreement are:
1. Since completion of an associate degree demonstrates a student's motivation to complete a baccalaureate degree, preference for admission to
state colleges should be given to applicants who have completed said
degree.

normally expect to complete a baccalaureate program in two additional
years. In certain specialized programs of the receiving institution, however,
a longer period may be necessary for majors in these programs.
3. The "D" grade obtained by two-year college students should be treated by
the senior institution in the same manner as the senior institution treats the
"D's" of its indigenous students.
4. Secondary school transcripts as well as test scores should be considered as
a guidance tool and not a determinant of transfer to the four-year institution.
The awarding of the associate degree is considered to have satisfied the
high school graduation requirements.
In addition to the above, Community College transfers will be admitted
under the condition of California's Transfer Credit Evaluation policy.

TRANSFER CREDIT EVALUATION
1. Californ ia State College will transfer no more than 75 credits per student
from any two-year Community or Junior College.

400 level courses at California, only after it can be shown that their content
exceeds or is equivalent to appropriate 300 and 400 level courses at California State College.
3. Courses taken at another school under a pass/fail option will be transferred
under the conditions of California's pass/fail policy.

another institution. Before taking such courses, the student must obtain
written permission from his advisor and his School Dean.
5. When a graduate from any two-year or junior college transfers to California
State College, courses shall be considered for transfer in the following
order.

Flnanclal Aid
and Scholarships
Financial aid is a critical factor in providing students with the opportunity
for a college education . Many types of financial assistance are available to the
student. All financial aid is intended to supplement the family's financial
resources - not as a substitute. For at least 75 percent of California State
College students, financial aid has made higher education a reality.

APPLICATIONS FOR ALL PROGRAMS
Each applicant must submit a Callfornla State College Appllcatlon for Student Flnanclal Aid to the financial aid office. A "Pennsylvania State Grant/
Federal Student Aid" Application must be submitted to: Pennsylvania Higher
Educational Assistance Agency, P.O. Box 3157, Harrisburg, PA 17105. Priority
will be given to applications filed before April 1. Applications filed after this
date will be considered to the extent that funds are available.

BASIS AND METHOD OF AWARDING FINANCIAL AID
Student financial aid is provided on the basis of the applicant's demonstratable financial need. Financial aid is defined as the difference between
estimated college costs and expected family contribution. Grants and loans
will be credited directly toward costs incurred at the College; any excess funds
will be refunded to the student. Earnings from student employment will be paid
directly to the student.

47

Full-time as well as part-time students taking at least six credits are el igible
to apply for assistance through the following financial aid programs:
Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program
National Direct Student Loan Program
College Work-Study Program
Guaranteed Student Loan Program
Part-time students can apply for aid in the same manner as full-time
students. The aid awarded is dependent on the student's educational costs.

RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF
FINANCIAL AID APPLICANTS
Every student has the right to apply for financial aid and also request and
receive reconsideration of the financial aid decision. Students also have the
right to know how their financial need and family contribution were calculated.
Students and parents are expected to provide accurate information on all
application materials and may be asked to provide a photocopy of their latest
federal income tax return. The Federal Government requires the Financial Aid
Office to insure that financial information from all sources is accurate and
truthful. When forms are used to establish eligibility for federal student aid
funds, false statements or misrepresentations may subject those providing the
information to a fine or imprisonment or both, under provisions of the U.S.
Criminal Code. Students also have the responsibility to notify the Financial Aid
Office of any change occurring in their financial position from that which was
reported on the application (e.g., eligibility for Social Security and/or
Veterans ' Benefits; receipt of scholarships, grants, or other assistance; change
in residency; and so on).

FINANCIAL PLANNING
Students planning to attend California State College should be aware that
the cash from many of the financial aid programs is not available until
approximately 9 weeks into the semester for which the funds are intended.
Students should plan to come to the College with enough personal money for
early-term purchases (books, Industrial Arts materials, art supplies, and so on)

without depending upon financial aid funds.

required .

Education Assistance Agency. High school seniors can secure further
information and application forms from their high school guidance office.

D. Other State Grants
Several states, including Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, West
Virginia, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Ohio have state grants which can
be transferred to schools outside the state. Interested students may obtain
information concerning these programs from their high school gu idance
counselors or from the appropriate State Higher Education Agency .

LOANS
A. National Direct Student Loans - California State College participates in
the National Direct Student Loan Program . High school graduates who
have been accepted for enrollment at California State College, or students
enrolled at least half-time and who need financial help for educational
expenses, may receive consideration for this student loan.
Eligible undergraduate students may borrow from this loan program each
academic year. The repayment period and the interest do not begin until 6
months after the student ends his studies. After termination of studies, the
loans bear interest at the rate of 5 percent a year (annual percentage
interest), and repayment of principal may be extended over a 10-year
period . The institution may require a minimum repayment of no less than
$30 a month.
If a borrower becomes a full-time teacher in a public or other non-profit
private elementary or secondary school with a high enrollment of students
from low-income families, or as a full-time teacher of handicapped children , for each complete year of service the amount of his loan shall be
reduced at the rates of 15 percent a year, plus interest for the first and
second years of service; 20 percent a year, plus interest for the third and
fourth years of service; 30 percent a year plus interest for the fifth year of
service; which results in 100% cancellation of the loan .

51

In addition, if the borrower becomes a full-time staff member in a preschool
program of the Economic Opportunity Act (Headstart) in certain states, for
a period comparable to the full school year, and provided the borrower's
salary is comparable to that of an employee of a local agency, the amount
of the loan shall be reduced at the rate of 15 per cent a year, plus interest for
each complete year of service.
If the borrower serves as a member of the Armed Forces of the United
States, a maximum of 50 percent of the loan shall be cancelled at the rate of
12½ percent a year, plus interest for each complete year of service in an
area of hostilities.
In addition, interest and payments shall be deferred during any period in
which the borrower is carrying at least one-half the normal academic work
load at an institution of higher learning, or up to 3 years if the borrower is on
full-time active duty as a member of the Armed Forces of the United States,
is a volunteer under The Peace Corps Act, or is a volunteer under the
Economic Opportunity Act (Vista) .
Any loans made prior to June 30, 1972, are subject to previous regulations .
California State College approves and makes the loans and is responsible
for collections. Applications specified in the General Information section
are required .
B. Student Guaranty Loans - The education of students from middle- or
upper-income groups frequently places a financial burden on the families,
particularly if there are a number of children who want to attend college. In
many cases, the student cannot qualify for student employment or a
student loan . Even when commerical credit sources are available,
repayment generally runs concurrent with the years the student attends
college . To help these young people and their families, a Guaranteed Loan
Program is in operation .
Under this program a student may borrow from a bank or other financial
institution. An undergraduate student may borrow as much as $2500 a year
up to a total of $12,500.
Students from families with adjusted gross incomes of less than $30,000
can borrow without demonstrating need. Students from families earning
$30,000 or more must undergo a financial need test to determine if they are
eligible to borrow. If the documented need is less than $500, the loan will be
limited to need . If a need of $500 to $1000 is demonstrated, the student may
borrow $1000. If the need is over $1000, the student may borrow up to the
amount of need but not over the program limit $2500/year for undergraduates) .
A need analysis form for Guaranty loan purposes will be provided with the
loan application.
Repayment of the principal of the loan is not required until the student
leaves or graduates from college. The Federal government will pay the
interest during the time the student is enrolled in college.
Interested students shou Id i nq ui re at their local bank or financial institution
for further information and application forms for the Guaranty Loan Program. Guaranty Loans are available to students from other states through
agencies similar to the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency.
In the interest of the student, it is the recommendation of the Financial Aid
Office that discretion in borrowing be recognized as a necessary consider-

52

ation. Loans made by each student should be minimized to meet projected
educational costs.

C. Loans to Parents
A program of loans to parents for dependent undergraduate students is
established by section 4288 of the new "Higher Education Amendments."
The maximum amount a parent may borrow for any one student in an
academic year is $3,000. The aggregate loan limit for each dependent
student is $15,000. Repayment is required to begin within 60 days of disbursement, and there is no in-school subsidy of these loans. The interest
rate will be 9 percent. The effective date on the loans to parents program is
January 1, 1981 .
It must be understood that the parent loan, when combined with the
student loan and/or all other financial aid resources, cannot exceed the
cost of education at California State College .
D. Emergency Student Loan Fund

undergraduate students. Application forms are available at the Financial
Aid Office.

year, could help provide total educational costs, including necessary
clothes, transportation, and personal expenses.

societies , business firms, high school officials , and family employers. Students
should investigate these possib le sources of aid .

OTHER SOURCES OF FINANCIAL AID
The previous sections have been devoted to outside financial aid , primarily
from college and Government Agencies. There are also many other avenues
from which to obtain aid . These would include: relatives , local clubs or organizations, businesses, summer earnings , special scholarships , and so on . Your
gu idance counselor, local civic leaders, or local librarian should be of valuable
help in researching such avenues of financial assistance.

SCHOOL OF EDUCATION CURRICULA
Each program offered by the school of Education is divided into three parts:
general education, professional education and major area.

General Education
The School of Education Council has adopted the following objectives for
the general education portion of education programs:
To develop in the prospective teacher:
1. The ability to communicate with adequate skill in the areas of speaking ,
writing, reading , and listening .
2. Knowledge, attitudes, skills, and understanding in the natural sciences, the
social sciences, technology, and the humanities.
3. The ability to promote better understanding and relationships among individuals and groups.
To provide the prospective teacher:
4. Opportunities for development of leisure time and healthful living activities.
The general education program is designed to help students meet these
objectives.

General Requirements
English Language Skills - All students must ach ieve competencies in
English language skills at the level of Composition 11. Students who are unable
to achieve this will be placed in the appropriate writing courses until competency exists.
Basic Math - Students with S.A.T. Math scores of 400 or less will be
required to take a basic math course. Freshmen or transfer students who have
not taken the S.A.T. test will be place in a math course dependent upon high
school grades. The basic math course will not count as a physical/natural
science requirement.
Reading, Study, Listening Skills - Students with Verbal S.A.T. scores of
400 or less will be required to take the Reading , Study, and Listening Skills
course. Placement of freshman and transfer students who have not taken the
S.A.T. test will be determined by a test administered by the Elementary Education Department. Courses as ELS, Comp I and Comp II will not be included as
requirements in the Humanities area. These courses must be counted as free
electives.

68

SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS
Area Programs
In addition to the following list of specifically defined academic disciplines,
the School of Liberal Arts offers degree programs in Social Sciences, Natural
Sciences, and Humanities. With the aid of an advisor, a student may structure
his own program , choosing courses from the broader range of the entire area
rather than limiting himself to a specific academic discipline or major program .
To earn a Bachelor of Arts degree under one of these programs, a student
must, in addition to completing his General Education Program, complete 68
credit hours in either the Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, or Humanities
Areas ; the division of courses into academic areas being the same as under the
General Education Program. Thirty credit hours of this work must be taken in
courses beyond the introductory level. (Introductory level courses are indicated in the catalog by a plus 1 + 1.) The student may count as many as five
courses from outside his chosen area towards the completion of his program.
These programs allow each student the freedom to make his own decisions
and pursue his own goals, allowing him to take extensive course work in areas
where California State College does not offer a degree program or where the
degree program does not meet the student's specific needs. These programs
are particularly advantageous to students transferring substantial credits from
other institutions and to part-time students who may not be able to schedule all
of the courses required by a particular degree program .

AMERICAN STUDIES
The American Studies Program is designed for those students who have a
special interest in an interdisciplinary approach to American culture; who wish
to combine flexibility in choosing courses from different fields with structure
and focus based on individual preference ; and who have particular professional and employment opportunities in mind, such as advertising, public
relations, journalism, pre-law, government service, and social service. The
Program is designed also to appeal to students who are not certain about
pursuing a major in a particular discipline.
The need for a serious study of American civilization goes beyond a recognition of the influence our culture exerts on the world to an increasing awareness that , within our national confines, the integrity and coherence of this
culture faces serious threats. The discipline of American Studies is shaped by
the culture itself: its ethnic, religious, regional, social, and economic variety
and complexity; its tendency to thrive in crisis and conflict ; and a contradictory, paradoxical thrust which so often renders it elusive of definition .
The American Studies Program attempts to balance trends toward specialization with a curriculum that looks at the whole of American society,
examining issues, ideas and values rooted in the American experience in order
to gain a more comprehensive and discriminating perspective of American
civilization . It recognizes the role of religion , education, economics, and manners and mores in shaping American institutions and laws, and in determining
the actions of its members. It stresses the importance of intellectual and social
thought in the dynamics of American civilization . It also recognizes the

Free Electives - Any course taught for credit at California State
College can be used as a free elective. In addition advanced
standing credits awarded by way of the college life experience
program are used in this area .

Area of Concentration
In addition to completing the sixty semester hour general education
requirements, a student majoring in a Liberal Arts program must complete a
sixty-eight semester hour area of concentration . Prospective students should
study the following program descriptions carefully in order to identify the program best suited to their intellectual and career goals. Many of these programs
have a great deal of flexibility built into them , permitting students to elect
courses in both their major field and related fields . In every case , the student
must consult with his advisor and secure his advisor's approval for any course
that is intended to meet area of concentration requirements.
Since program review is an ongoing process at California State College , the
following program descriptions should be read with the understanding that
requirements may have been altered by the time prospective students enter the
College. Up-to-date information can always be obtained by inquiring at the
School Office or writing to Dr. Philip Y. Coleman , Dean, School of Liberal Arts ,
102 Noss, California State College, California , Pennsylvania 15419.

SCHOOL OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
General Education
The School of Science and Technology's General Education program ,
equivalent to a minimum of 60 credit hours, is divided into two parts. The first
part is comprised of a series of required courses in the following areas: communications, mathematics, psychology and managerial sciences . These
required general education courses vary depending upon the student's major
program; therefore, students should consult their major advisor before making
course selections and before registering . The second part of the program is
comprised of a minimum of 30 credits of free elective courses . Students are
encouraged and expected to select courses carefully in the latter group in consultation with their faculty advisors. Special emphasis is expected to be placed
on courses in the humanities, social sciences , and natural sciences that are not
directly related to the student's major course of study.

70

SCHOOL OF CONTINUING EDUCATION
General Education Requirements
Associate Degrees
General education requirements vary for associate degree programs . Some
have liberal requirements while others , because of their highly technical
nature, have very restrictive general education requ irements . Students are
advised to thoroughly examine each program as presented in this catalog and
work with their dean and advisors in selecting appropriate courses.

School of Liberal Arts
The School of Liberal Arts offers thirty-one programs leading to the
Bachelor of Arts degree and six programs leading to the Bachelor of Science
degree. These range from broad based area programs to narrowly defined
vocational and pre-professional majors; however, in all cases , the very broad
general studies program assures every student sufficient flexibility to select
courses that meet his interests and needs.

THE CURRICULUM IN LIBERAL ARTS
In addition to completing the sixty semester hour general education
requirement, a student majoring in a Liberal Arts program must complete a
sixty-eight semester hour area of concentration . Prospective students should
study the following program descriptions carefully in order to identify the
program best suited to their intellectual and career goals. Many of these programs have a great deal of flexibility built into them, permitting students to
elect courses in both their major field and related fields . In every case , the
student must consult with his advisor and secure his advisor's approval for any
course that is intended to meet area of concentration requirements.
Since program review is an ongoing process at California State College, the
following program description should be read with the understanding that
requirements may have been altered by the time prospective students enter the
College. Up-to-date information can always be obtained by inquiring at the

particularly relevant to the study of American civilization: history, sociology,
philosophy, literature, economics, education, geography, speech, political
science, psychology, art, and music. Special American Studies courses, two in
American Life and Thought, as well as two seminars, provide the framework for

of reconstructing the evolution of prehistoric and historic cultural systems,
together with a practical introduction (during the summer field schools) to the
methods of archaeological site location, survey, excavation, and laboratory
processing of materials in the California State College Center for Historic and
Prehistoric Archaeology laboratory.
Ethnology is the examination of the native cultures of North and South
America, Africa, Oceania, and Asia in both aerial surveys and in comparative
studies.

73

For the student seeking a broad educational background , the acquisition of
an anthropological perspective provides a vantage point from which he may
link the various materials of geology, geography, botany, and zoology with
those of history, economics, sociology, art, music, and philosophy, in a broad,
integrated view of the origins, evolution, and functions of human ecological
systems.
Students electing this major may prepare themselves for positions in
federally and state-funded archaeological salvage and recovery projects,
research work with state geological surveys, soil conservation districts, and
state and federal museums.
This program has successfully prepared students for graduate work in
some of the leading universities of the nation. Several graduates of the program have found permanent positions in Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia,
Florida, and Illinois, where they are engaged in teaching archaeological survey
and excavation as well as in the publication of their work .
With the new legal requirement that strip mining permits, highway projects,
and large building projects involving Federal funds require archaeological and
historical impact statements, a large number of positions for those prepared in
the techniques of archaeological survey and reporting may be anticipated.

ART
The Bachelor of Arts degree program in Art is designed to introduce students to the visual arts as a means of expression and communication . The student is exposed to some of the history, traditions, and methods of the fine arts
and to practical problems of materials and techniques in the various fine arts
media. He/She is given conceptual and technical development in a variety of
specializations.
The Art program is highly flexible, and the course of study for each student
depends largely upon individual interest and future plans. In order to assist the
student in program development and course selection , an Art Department
advisor is assigned to the student during the first semester of enrollment. The
student and his advisor discuss the student's relative interests in design, drawing, painting, sculpture, weaving, ceramics, printmaking , and fabrics to determine which of these areas the student wants to study in depth. Keeping in mind
the student's talents and career goals, they use the flexibility of the program to
design the best set of emphasis for that student.
Specific educational objectives toward career opportunities are: a) to provide preparation for graduate study; b) to provide sufficient background for
those who have the ability and creative awareness to face the economic
pressures confronting the full-time artist; c) to provide a foundation for students who wish to study art as an essential part of their personal and cultural
development, and d) to explore avenues of teaching art outside the realm of
public education.

ARTS IN HUMAN SERVICES
The thrust of the Arts in Human Services program is to prepare skilled
artisans for service as arts specialists in youth and senior citizen centers, summer camps, nursing homes, community recreation centers, and other interaction agencies.

75

This comprehensive approach to recreation will integrate students in Urban
Recreation with those in the Arts in Human Services program . Undergraduates
in both programs will plan , organize , implement, and evaluate leisure time
activities and experiences incorporating the arts and physical recreation for
special populations.
The program provides students with alternative careers, responds to the
great number of requests which the college receives from social agencies and
community organizations for help with arts/recreation related activities, provide agencies with the kinds of arts/recreation expertise they need as well as
providing on-site internship experiences for students, and give an affirmative
response to the 76 percent positive results of a college survey requesting
interest in the program from social agencies and organizations.

graduate work in the biological sciences, and career work in many biologically
related areas. The major emphasis of this program is to provide the student
with a broad scientific core of courses, including studies in chemistry, physics,
mathematics, and biology.

76

Each student will have the opportunity to select a wide range of biological
elective courses which best fulfills his need for future work of graduate study.
Scientific theory is integrated into the laboratory portion of each course so that
the student learns critical scientific thinking and attains the ability to manipulate many biological instruments and various organisms.
The Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences at California
State College is housed in a modern , multi-million dollar teaching and
research facility equipped with the latest in design, materials, and instrumentation. Specialized areas for student and faculty research - an herbarium,
a museum, live animal colonies, a greenhouse, an electron microscope, and a

CHEMISTRY
The program in Chemistry, leading to the Bachelor of Science degree,
focuses upon studies of the nature and structure of matter and provides a
strong foundation in the fundamentals of Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. Upon successful completion of this program, the graduate is qualified
to assume a position as a chemist in either the private or public sector. Program
graduates should also be well prepared to commence graduate studies leading
to the M.S. or Ph.D. in Chemistry.
Chemistry majors pursuing the B.S. degree must complete 45 credits in
required courses and 23 credits in restricted electives which must be approved
by the student's departmental advisor. Five of the latter credits must be earned
from additional course work in chemistry, while the remaining eighteen credits
may be accrued through course work in other natural sciences.
Through consultation with his advisor, the student will obtain information
which will guide him toward a proper selection of electives in General
Education. Such a judicious selection of electives based upon the student's
objectives may help to promote additional career opportunities upon graduation and also satisfy the admissions standards of various professional and
Graduate Schools. Some graduates have thus chosen to continue their edu-

77

EARTH SCIENCE
The Earth Science Program provides students with a varied selection of
courses and experiences. The program 's flexibility permits the student,
working with his advisor, to get training in depth in his major area of interest.
The earth scientist uses a variety of tools and disciplines concerning the earth
and its processes and is knowledgeable in the areas of geology, astronomy,
meteorology, oceanography, and physical geography. The tools of the earth
scientist include mathematics, chemistry, and physics. Presently, most earth
science students continue their education in specialized areas in graduate
school. Many others, however, move into employment with the public and private sectors in jobs commonly defined as applied earth science.

ECONOMICS
Economics is a multi-purpose program, providing the major with a liberal
arts background while taking him through a detailed examination of the
behavior of people as both producers and consumers. The student, as he
becomes an economist, beg ins to concern himself with the process by which
human wants are satisfied through productive activities. So that he may understand the relationship among social, political, and economic institutions, he is
required to study broadly in the other social sciences at the same time he is
studying economic issues in depth .
Upon completion of the Economics Program a student may enter a number
of different graduate programs that include - but are not limited to - the following: Law School, Public Administration, Business Administration, Hospital
Administration, Institutional Administration, Labor Relations, Industrial
Management, and Economics.
Many Economics students choose to bypass graduate school and enter the
labor market immediately following graduation . Employment opportunities
are as varied as graduate school opportunities, even though the Economics
curriculum does not concentrate on providing those job skills in the way that
Administration and Management does. The objective in the Economics program is to provide a general background in the liberal arts and to develop an
understanding of the real economic problems that all nations face. This
approach has been found acceptable to many employers in business, industry,
and government.

ENGLISH
The English program provides the basis for a liberal education and prepares
majors for advanced graduate work, literary scholarship, and careers in a
number of diverse fields.
The program requires 68 credits. To insure some of the coverage traditionally associated with a major, the following 33 credits in English at the 300500 level are restricted electives: one course each in English Literature prior to
1800, English Literature after 1800, and American Literature; three 300
courses; and three 400 courses. The only required course is Independent
Studies (3 credits) . The remainder of the program is made up of 32 credits in
Humanities.
The Department of English feels that a student majoring in English should
have a broad acquaintance with other fields of human interest. Basic courses
in philosophy, history, the social and natural sciences, fine arts, and foreign
languages and literature contribute to this acquaintance. The Department
recommends that its majors elect further courses in several of these fields.
The freedom of this undergraduate program allows for much personal
initiative; yet the more flexibility one has in constructing a program, the more
he is responsible to himself for planning an integrated and meaningful course
of study. One must ask himself, "What do I want from my undergraduate
education?" As in the case of choosing a school, the student should select a
program that offers the greatest intellectual rewards and challenges. When the
choices are difficult, a faculty advisor can help him , but for the most part the
responsibility is his.

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
Perhaps most contemporary environmental issues can best be analyzed
through interdisciplinary approaches that transverse conventional academ ic
disciplines. With this concept as a focal point, California State College has
developed an interdisciplinary Environmental Studies program within the
School of Liberal Arts. Now approximately five years in existence, this program
currently has over one-hundred-seventy undergraduate majors within the
three distinct track specializations: Environmental Science, Environmental
Conservation and Environmental Resources. These track specializations offer
B.S. and B.A. degrees and involve core courses thatfocus upon environmental
problems from scientific, socioeconomic, political and cultural frames of
reference. In addition, required courses include offerings from Zoology, Wildlife Biology, Botany, Ecology, Water Pollution, Biology, Ichthyology, Mammalogy, Ethology , Biometry, Soil Science, Geology, Earth Science,
Geography, Cartography, Meteorology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics,
and Economics.
Thus, environmental studies curricula cover a multitude of disciplines. A
distinction that needs to be made very clear, however, is between an "environmentalist" and an environmental scientist. Environmentalist has become an
almost meaningless term describing someone with an interest in the environment; it certainly does not convey any competence in a scientific or academic
sense. For example, we offer a senior independent research problems class.
The objectives of the class (which is kept to less than ten students for a more
effective one-to-one learning utilization) are to give the student practical
experience with all phases of a research problem-literature review ,
experimental design, data collection , analysis, interpretation and scientific
writing.
Some of the topics that have been covered include : water pollution biology,
small mammal population dynamics, plant and animal species diversity comparisons between different types of habitats, the effects of acid mine drainage
on the distribution of streamside terrestrial vegetation and the effects of strip
mining on ecological succession.
The recent graduates in Environmental Studies at California State College
have experienced success in graduate schools, as well as gaining employment
in private industry, utility companies and state and federal positions as interpretative naturalists, parks recreation , public health, environmental consultants and environmental technicians.
The 1970's began with many colleges and universities attempting to
address themselves to crucial environmental issues in the course offerings.
California State College has developed viable Environmental Studies programs that are seriously fulfilling this obligation.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES:
FRENCH, GERMAN, AND SPANISH
The Foreign Languages Program offers concentrations in French, G·erman,
or Spanish. A student may study one or a combination of languages. A limited
number of courses are available in languages other than the three major
offerings. The program stresses that the primary function of language is to
communicate, first through listening and speaking, then through reading and

81

writing . This emphasis on understanding and speaking in no way lessens the
traditional value of foreign language study as a key to greater human istic
development. The program is also designed to develop an awareness and
appreciat ion of other peop le and cultures. Competence in language skills is
developed within the context of the arts , econom ics , geography, history, and
the way of life of the people who speak that particular language .
Historically , the language barrier has hindered efforts to exchange ideas; it
remains a major obstacle to greater international harmony. Yet, language is a
key to better human understanding . In recent years, American participation in
world affairs - political , economic , industrial , social , and cultural - has
increased to such an extent that the need for many Americans to be able to
communicate directly in other languages has become evident to the public at
large. Less striking , but no less an important need for Americans , is contact
with another culture through its language. Learning that there are many ways
of doing things and not merely our way , is highly desirable in educating our
youth for the world of today and tomorrow .

Knowledge of a foreign language can open the door to many career
opportunities. Language is a basic requ irement for careers here at home and
for deal ing with other peoples and other cultures. Learn a modern language
and prepare yourself for a career in:

GEOGRAPHY
The geography program provides students a varied selection of courses
and geograph ic experiences, including the human , physical , political and
economic dimensions of the discipline. The program's flexibility permits the
student, working with his advisor, to get train ing in depth in his major areas of
interest. Presently, most geography students continue their education in
special ized areas in graduate school. Many others , however, move into
employment with the federal government. The Geography major is designed to
give each student maximum freedom in coordinating his college program with
desired objectives.
The geography program also allows the student to participate in internships
in industry, government, and social agencies wh ile receiving college credit for
his work .
Geography affords the graduate the opportunity to work in the public and
private sectors in jobs commonly defined as applied geography. Graduates
may work for government agencies , industries , and regional or urban planning
offices as cartographers , economic geographers , reg i onal special ists ,
resource managers, location analysts, or demographers. Recent published
projections of existing trends show that geography will continue to offer its
graduates a wide variety of career opportunities.

GEOLOGY
In these days of environmental concern and the need for developing new
energy sources, career opportunities in the geological sciences are excellent.
In addition, projections of future needs indicate that the number of specialists
in these disciplines must be greatly increased over the next ten to fifteen years.
The Geology program at California State College is currently offered in the
Department of Geography and Earth Science. A wide range of geology
offerings allows the student maximum freedom to pursue a program that will
lead to a B.S. degree in geology. The geology staff and students work closely
with the Physical Science and Biological Science Departments, and are active
in the Environmental Studies and other interdisciplinary programs.
Besides the course work offered on campus, California's membership in
cooperative groups allows our students access to some truly unique learning
and research opportunities. Most prominent is the Penn Soil Conservation
Education Center at Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania.
A major in geology allows the student to move immediately into employment with government and environmental agencies. Many industries employ
geologists as permanent consultants. Our graduates have also obtained
employment with cement companies, highway departments, sand and gravel
operations, and in mining , water analysis and coastal surveys.
Graduate scholarships are readily available to students with high academic
achievement. More than half of our graduates go on to graduate school.

GERONTOLOGY
Gerontology, the study of aging , has just recently "come of age" in the
United States. In response to this trend and in response to the "Greying of
America", California State College has begun an undergraduate major in
Gerontology. As the number of older people in the country is rising , both the
need for trained professionals and the number of job opportunities in the field
of aging is increasing dramatically and yearly.
California State College prepares students to work with and for older persons - and agencies and organizations that serve and are comprised of older
persons - through its bachelor's degree program in Gerontology. The bachelor's degree program in Gerontology provides students with a core curriculum
to prepare them to perform in a variety of settings which call for understanding
the problems and needs of older persons, and also permits students to gain indepth competency in specific aspects of Gerontology in which they intend to
pursue careers. These may be in public agencies - such as area agencies on
aging, state commissions on aging, or planning commissions - or in private
agencies - such as retirement communities, organizations for aging religious
communities , or specialized business firms.
The program in Gerontology is designed to provide the student with a basic
education in the biological, sociological , psychological, spiritual and educational components of the process of aging within the framework of a liberal arts
education. Gerontology majors must complete 54 credits in required courses
and 14 credits in related electives, which must be approved by the student's
departmental advisor. This academic coursework is strengthened by field
placement experiences where the student has the opportunity to apply
theoretical concepts in a real-life situation and is thus able to judge if
Gerontology is a suitable career choice. Although slightly more than half of the
credits (68) are required in the major field and related courses , the remaining
credits (60) may be used to explore other areas of general interest and/or
curiosity.
Thus , the Bachelor of Arts in Gerontology Program is dedicated to providing students with a broad range of academic and practicum experiences
which will enable him/her to function in a variety of settings ranging from
administration , planning, management, and delivery of services for older
persons. It is also the goal of this program to increase the number and competency of persons working with the older adult, their families and communities.

THE HEALTH PROFESSIONS
Students in the health professions commit themselves to a lifelong process
of self-education; therefore, the development of scholarly motivation, independence, and creativity are vital to professional medical competence. Acquiring an understanding of people, their societies, and their history is a valuable
asset in the practice of the health professions. Consequently, a liberal education in the humanities and the arts, as well as in social and natural sciences,
provide the best professional preparation. In addition, the student should
demonstrate competence and concentrated study in a curriculum or field of
special interest. Although students interested in the health professions do not
necessarily major in Biology, they should plan to take a significant number of
biology courses.
Varied program offerings make it possible to satisfy requirements for premedical, pre-dental, pre-veterinary, pre-podiatry, pre-pharmacy, pre-chiropractic, and other pre-health fields. Those interested should contact the
Biology Department to discuss the career plans.

HISTORY
It is the guiding ph ilosophy of the History faculty that our students should
be afforded a range of meaningful choices, taking into account not only a
concern for a secure future, but the desire to make the college years ones of
personal growth and enrichment. From an occupational standpoint, History
continues to provide a training ground for a variety of careers where clear and
critical thinking and a broad liberal arts background are desirable. An everincreasing demand is being made by our society for professional researchers,
especially in the visual and printed media; data analysts and report writers
capable of reducing the record of assertion, belief, practice, and decision to
understandable order; and lawyers and teachers. The government, state and
national, needs military and civilian historians, archivists, curators , and
members of the Foreign Service.
As a discipline History has become increasingly multidimensional in its
efforts to grasp the nature of reality. The historical approach is characterized
by a concern for change over a significant period of time , for the directions and
trends that may appear in such a period, and for those unique qualities, persons, or events that may either sum up an age or stand out from it. Moreover,
historians share with the social scientists an interest in regularities of human
activity as well as an interest in those conceptual and quantitative methods
which have permitted new approaches to the study of man in his society.
The History Curriculum at California State College is designed to reflect the
dimensions noted above.

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES
Given the physical and cultural complexities of the modern world,
individuals who bridge the difficulties posed by environment, language and
culture are needed if we are to live together as a world community. Two

88

speciali sts ideally suited to apply their skills to the above tasks are geographers and lingu ists: the geographers because he seeks to describe, relate and
explain natural and man-made things that distinguish places on the earth 's
surface, the linguist because his knowledge of languages and culture makes
possible the effective communication of ideas.

MATHEMATICS
The program lead in g to the Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics is a
rigorous program affording the student theoretical and applied wo rk in mathematics. Although the program is rigorous, it is very versatile since it permits the
student having a defic iency in any area of mathemati cs to take introductory
courses to provide sufficient background enabling students to effectively take
cou rses in the area of concentration . Al though these introductory courses do
not count in the area of concentration , th ey do count as free electives in the
program .
An advisor works carefu lly with the studen t to structure a selection of
courses best suited fo r the interest and ultimate goal. An y prob lem that a stu-

89

dent encounters may be freely discussed with the advisor at any time .
Student work assignments are available for those who wish to have student
employment and who qualify. These job assignments may be as a student
assistant in the mathematics department, or at the computer center. Hence, the
student learns while he earns .
Students in this program are required to take courses in physics or chemistry, and in the natural sciences. The mathematics major is thus enabled to see
the relationship between mathematics and other sciences. Also , the student
may elect to take a number of computer science courses , enabling an interweaving of mathematics with computer science. Moreover, a student in the
mathematics program may, if selected , participate in one of a number of
cooperative work programs with such agencies as the Defense Department,

PHILOSOPHY
The word philosophy comes from two Greek words that mean love and
knowledge . Anyone who enjoys discovering knowledge might be called a
philosopher, and thus the word was used originally . As man accumulated more
and more information about himself and the world , learning became organized
into special disciplines. In modern times, philosophy has come to be the

90

academic discipline wh ich studies critically the nature and development of different kinds of knowledge and attempts to relate these different kinds of beliefs
to form a general , workable view of reality . In short, philosophy deals with
questions like "What do we really know, and how do we know it? What is the
ultimate nature of reality? What is morally right, and how should we live?"
Typically , the philosophy student studies the history of man's basic views
about knowledge and the world and develops logical skills that will help him
deal with specific philosophical issues relevant to his life.
Though the chief reward in studying philosophy is the exercise of one's
curiosity, the philosophy graduate has a number of career potentials. The
philosophy major develops critical reasoning and writing sk ills and an ability to
analyze problems from a variety of perspectives. These talents equip one for a
broad range of positions in business and government. Depending upon one's
interests, the study of philosophy can be excellent preparation for post-graduate study in law or business schools. Teaching positions in philosophy are,
however, usually limited to colleges and universities, which normally require
the Ph .D. Degree.
With a diversified faculty capable of serving the special needs of the student,
and with most classes organized on a small-group basis , students find that
they can develop their potential in a setting that emphasizes curiosity rather
than competition . Students are encouraged to develop secondary interests
that supplement their philosophical studies and are frequently counseled
about how to develop their programs of study. The major program is designed
to provide a broad background in the primary areas of philosophy while allowing the student to explore in depth particular issues of special concern to him .
It is recommended that Philosophy majors have a strong second area
related to their philosophical interests (e.g. art, history, literature, or a particular science coupled with mathematics) and that all majors take some laboratory
course. It is also recommended that those majors planning to seek a graduate
degree in philosophy take at least two years of German, French , or Russian .

POLITICAL SCIENCE
The Political Science program is designed to achieve three major objectives:
First, to prepare those who intend to pursue academic goals beyond the
undergraduate level, whether in law school , in public administration, or in
teaching;
Second, to help students achieve a level of intellectual proficiency which

92

will contribute to a successful career in ma ny areas of government service and
business;
Th ird , to contribute to a broad liberal ed ucati on that affords students the
opportun it ies to discover the sig nificance of political inqu iry as an intellectual
discipline. It is hoped that the relationship of pol itical science to other academic disciplines such as the physical sc iences, humanities, and other social
sciences will be impressed upon the st udent.
Accordingly, the program stresses both special ization and interdisciplinary
studies. Other social sciences are required as well as the standard minimal 36
hours of Political Science. Required courses in Psychology, Anthropology,
Sociology, History, Econom ics and Geography contribute to the multidisciplinary approach - a necessary requisite for the understanding of politics.
Ad visement is important in that faculty advisors can impress upon students the
desirability of acquiring at least a nodd ing acquaintance with other disciplines such as Philosophy , Mathematics, Engl ish , Fore ign La nguages, and the
Physical Sciences, which can be taken as part of the General Studies elective
system.
The Politi cal Science cu rriculum itself stresses the diverse sub-spec ialities
which comprise the discipline, offering courses in Theory, Public Admin istration , Political Behavior, Comparative Politics, International Studies, American
Politics, and Legal Institutions. It is recommended that the student eschew
parochial tendencies and try to select courses which cover the broad scope of
the discipline.

PROFESSIONAL WRITING PROGRAM
The Professional Writing Program is designed to prepare students to enter
the professional writing field in one or more of four areas: Creative Writing,
Journalism , Radio-Television , and Scientific-Technical Writing . The program

93

will allow a student to specialize in one of these writing areas and will allow him
sufficient opportunity to acquire additional skills in related subject matter. In
the interest of academic balance , the curriculum is designed to make certain
that the student receives a broad education . Within the area of concentration
requirements , provisions for internship credit, electives in a related discipline,
and distributed electives allow the student to plan a program suited to his
particular career goals .
The program will allow a student who has completed work at a community
college to apply basic writing credits to the program, thus perm itting him to
complete the program within two years . The provision for some hours of
internship credits will also facilitate this transition, especially for the student
who has been employed in some capacity involving writing responsibilities in
addition to some prior formal study.
This Professional Writing Program sees the student as one who must
become aware of those qualities of clarity, conciseness, and style that constitute competent writing. He must also be able to master basic writing formats
and the intricacies and jargon of his chosen field of concentration , be it professional writing in business , science-technology , journalism, radiotelevision , or creative writing .
Students will get a broad liberal education and thorough professional
instruction . The highest professional standards are maintained in the classroom . In addition to sound educational background, faculty members have
had extensive professional experience in all areas of writing .

PSYCHOLOGY
Psychology is at one time a scholarly discipline, a scientific field, and a professional activity. Its overall focus is on the study of both animal and human
behavior and related mental and physiological processes . Thus Psychology
emphasizes human communication , principles and theories of behavior,
research on the causes and dynamics of behavior patterns , and the practical
application of knowledge, skills, and techniques for the solution and/or prevention of individual and social problems .
The Psychologist's level of education is often a major factor in shaping
his/her career. Because most doctoral-level psychologists have been exposed
to a large and varied body of knowledge and techniques in psychology, those
who hold the doctoral degree enjoy the widest range of work choices and the
most responsible, as well as highest-paid , positions. A large number of
psychologists are trained up to the Master's Degree (M .A.) , and represent the
largest group among the three levels of training available to psychologists.
Traditionally, the Bachelor's Degree (B.A.) level of academic training has not
been considered sufficient for the career as a professional psychologist.
Practically every state in the U.S. requires a license or certificate whose basic
requirements are the possession of a Master's Degree and several years of
work experience . Those with B.A. degrees, however, have the opportunity,
along with other psychologists, of being sought after in a variety of specialty
areas.
Because psychology tends to be confused with psychiatry, a medical
specialty, many people erroneously assume that psychology and psychologists concern themselves primarily with psychopathology and deviant
behavior. Although some psychologists do, of course, deal with abnormal
persons and phenomena, the concern of psychology and the occupations of
psychologists are considerably more diverse. Psychologists today are rarely
limited to any one kind of specialty.

96

Some of the specialty work areas for psychologists are found in various
social, institutional and industrial settings such as schools, community
agencies, mental health clinics, private industry, government agencies,
hospitals, and in private practice. They work as teachers of psychology on the
high school and college level , scientists and researchers, clinical psychologists, educational psychologists, community and social psychologists, industrial psychologists, and school psychologists, as well as in the presently
expanding field of ecology and environmental psychology.
As in all professions, specialization is a crucial factor and demands the
highest level of academic and work experience for success. Yet there are
Psychology majors who do not wish to go beyond the B.A. Employment for
such persons in the field of psychology is possible. It is, however, necessary to
keep in mind that undergraduate training is fundamentally general, and does
not represent a specialty in the sense referred to above. Nevertheless, job
opportunities are to be found in clinics , hospitals, industry, community
agencies and government, but at a job-entry level and under supervision.
There is a rapid growth in the number and variety of programs designed to
meet the ever-growing needs of educational and mental health problems in our
society. Crowding, land use, social and environmental phenomena and their
impact are rapidly increasing the need for a new breed of psychologists. The
problems of the city have already produced a new specialty in psychology and
a great need for people with training in psychology to meet the expanding job
opportunities in this field . A career in psychology is realistically possible at all
levels of training.

SOCIAL WORK
All social work educational programs can be reduced to the premise of
"producing change in some human condition" by working with delinquents,
adoptive parents, psychiatric patients, hospital patients, marriage counseling,
parent-child disturbances, or a host of other human conditions . Social work is
dedicated to working with people , and the undergraduate program at Cali-

97

fornia State College is dedicated to providing the student with a broad range of
academic and social agency experiences which will enable him to function in a
variety of settings.
The social worker understands human problems and has the ability to work
with human beings, using methods other than technical skills and mechanical
abilities. Persons choosing a career in social work usually do so because of a
genuine concern for others and a desire to help.
There should be continuing opportunities for growth and development in
the social work field, both in the nature and scope of the tasks assigned to the
social worker, and in the responsibility and commitment demanded by the job.
Our program is designed to provide a most comprehensive training
program for social work students. It examines the nature of social work programs, and outlines the functions and interactions within the various social
service organizations.
Emphasis is placed on defining human needs and the cooperative actions
that must be undertaken in order to respond to these needs.
This academic effort is augmented by an active field placement experience,
whereby the student has the opportunity to implement theoretical concepts in
a real-life situation, and is thus allowed to judge if the profession of social work
is suited to his or her career desires.

SOCIOLOGY
Although sociology has existed as a discipline for approximately 150 years,
efforts to understand human society go back into ancient history. The attempt
to understand society is the substance of sociology , as well as the substance of
any undergraduate sociology program.
Sociology is frequently defined as a "community of scholarship that uses
rational models to organize empirical data about human society and social
behavior." This definition contains four components which constitute the
basis of the undergraduate sociology department at California State College :
1. Our subject matter is human society and social behavior;
2. The method is that of observing empirical data;
3. Explanation occurs in and is validated by a community of scholarship;
4. Organization and focus are provided by rational models.
Each of these areas requires the content of various courses for one to gain
adequate understanding of the discipline.
Sociologists attempt to approach their studies as objectively as possible,
without bias. Preconceptions, however, are inherent in all thought processes.
Sociologists , like other scientists, tend to begin with systematic views of what
the world is like , how to study it, and even what may be discovered about it.
When these general perspectives are systematized and made explicit, they are
known as theoretical models. For sociology, the four theoretical models
described above are basic.
With its focus upon the whole of human society, sociology is a very broad
science. Its practitioners conduct research and seek to develop theory in areas
ranging from urbanization and race relations, through family and religious
behavior, to student dissent and drug use. In fact, the sociologist is interested
in virtually all aspects of human behavior.
The sociologist is not interested necessarily in changing society, even
though the results of his efforts may very well result in such changes. Rather,
he is interested in discovering the content and process of social relations. His
discoveries are utilized by many individuals in various disciplines. The practicing sociologist may be thought of as the individual who discovers the
methods of change, while others implement his findings to produce change.

SPEECH COMMUNICATION
The Department of Speech Communication offers two Liberal Arts programs, a general one, and one with an emphasis on radio and television . Both
are intended to encourage pursuit of a broad, liberal education. The main
distinction between them is that the latter program requires more radio and
television production experiences than does the former.
The two programs follow the pattern of the School of Liberal Arts which permits 60 hours of student-selected general studies. They require 34 to 36 hours
of specific required courses, six to eight hours of elective courses chosen from
the Speech Communication disciplines that student and advisor agree are

100

pertinent to the particular student's development. In the general program the
required courses were selected .by the departmental faculty as a means of
introducing the student to the varied aspects of Speech Communication. In the
Radio and Television Program the required courses were chosen to encourage
familiarity with radio and television and the pursuit of a liberal education .
These two programs examine the discipline of oral communication . su·ch
study involves concern with how to communicate effective messages, how
best to use the strengths of various communicative formats , how to understand what takes place in communication , and the evaluation of received
communications. Neither program is intended as vocational training . Both
provide communication skills and perspectives that will enable a graduate to
adapt readily to a rapid changing communicative world , irrespective of
eventual career.

URBAN AFFAIRS
In an urban culture the suburbs of the city as well as the city itself, demand
trained personnel to plan and operate local programs . The horizons for urban
affairs graduates are expanding as the suburbs become the focus for social
and physical planning decisions. Graduates may find jobs in all areas of City
and County Municipal Services, Planning Commissions , and Social Agencies .
Urban Affairs graduates are encouraged to continue their education . Many

This is done by completing three years of satisfactory service in the Commonwealth and earning twenty-four post baccalaurate credits. These credits may
be undergraduate, graduate or in-service credits or any combination thereof .
College credits must be taken at a four year institution .

APPEAL PROCEDURE FOR
CERTIFICATION STUDENTS
Students appealing decisions regarding teaching certification should contact the Dean of Education to discuss their concern . If accord is not reached at
this level, the student may appeal to the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
The final source of appeal is with the Certification Appeals Committee,
Department of Education, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This step should be taken

105

only if there is no possibility for a resolution at an earlier stage, and only if the
student is convinced that arbitrary and / or capricious standards are applied .

U.S. CITIZENSHIP - A REQUIREMENT FOR
TEACHER CERTIFICATION IN PENNSYLVANIA
According to an opinion issued on January 14, 1981 by the Attorney
General of Pennsylvania , Section 1109 and 1202 of the School Code are constitutional. This means , therefore , that no permanent certificate may be
granted to any individual not a cit izen of the United States and no provisional
certificate may be granted to any individual who is not a citizen and who has
not declared in writing to the Department of Education the intention of
becoming a citizen.

ADMISSION TO TEACHER EDUCATION
Admission to Californ ia State College is not a guarantee that a student
majoring in education will be permitted to complete the program (which
includes student teaching) and rece ive a teaching certificate. The School of
Education has established standards that all education majors must meet in
order to complete the Teacher Education Program . Some of these standards
are embodied in the Adm ission to Teacher Education Program which is usually
initiated by the candidate in his sixth or seventh semester of study. In
summary, a candidate must meet the following requirements :
1. A quality point average of 2.30 in the major field . For students in the Early
Childhood and Elemen tary curriculums , this average will be computed
using both elementary and professional education courses .
2. An overall or cumulative average of 2.00, and must be in satisfactory
academic standing at time of application .
3. Complet ion of at least 64 credits (including transfer credits) with a minimum
of 12 credits completed in the major field .
4. The recommendation of his advisor or major department head.
5. A personal interview with and recommendation from a member of the Committee for Admission to Teacher Education .
6. Approval by the Committee for Admission to Teacher Education. Application forms for the admission process should be secured from the candidate 's departmental office .
All of the above requirements are prerequisites to a student teaching
assignment.
Candidates who do not meet the standards for Admission to Teacher Education on initial application have two semesters in which to correct deficiencies and reapply for admission. If still not approved , they may elect to
transfer to another curriculum or, with special permission of the Committee,
take 14 cred its in lieu of student teaching and graduate without teacher
certification .
The latter option (waiver of student teaching and teaching certification) is
also available to students who , for exceptional reasons, change their plans
about career teaching but wish to complete their baccalaureate programs . The
student must initiate, in writing and in person , a reasoned request to do so to

106

the Associate Dean . Such requests must be reviewed and approved by the
Associate Dean . If the waiver request and course credits in lieu of student
teaching credits are approved, the student may earn his degree without
teaching certification. (A notation to this effect is carried on the student's
transcript.)
It should be emphasized that the Admission to Teacher Education Program,
in total , is also designed for the student's growth in educative, experiential, and
self-evaluative ways.

STUDENT TEACHING
Student teaching , a major professional laboratory experience, is conducted
under the supervision of the Associate Dean. California State College has five
student teaching programs: elementary, secondary, industrial arts, speech
pathology and audiology, and special education . Students who are candidates
for certification are required to earn twelve semester hours of credit in student
teaching . However, student teaching is a competency based program and may
continue beyond one semester. Candidates will be certified to teach only if
they demonstrate ability to teach effectively. Teaching competency will be
determined by the Associate Dean, the College Supervisor, and the Cooperating Teacher or Teachers . The student teacher is also required a
practicum while student teaching . Student teaching is conducted in selected
public schools located in the service area of the college.
The institutional philosophy regarding student teaching is to prepare students adequately to assume their professional responsibilities in the teaching
profession in a democratic society, and to develop their appreciation of their
need for a mastery of the professional knowledge and skill essential to all
teaching and special proficiency in their area of specialization. Student teaching is to provide a climate wherein the student may exhibit his creativity and
ability to make critical judgements based upon knowledge and reason .
Applications for student teaching may be secured at the Dean's Office.
Interviews for student teaching assignments are held each October and
February.
Before students may be assigned to this vital part of the Teacher Education
Curriculum , they must:
a. be admitted to Teacher Education
b. maintain an overall quality point average of 2.0
c. obtain departmental approval as having satisfactorily completed the
required preparatory work.
Students will not be assigned to student teaching until they have completed
at least one semester's work in this college. Graduates of other colleges must
meet the requirements of admission to Teacher Education before being
assigned to student teaching.

STUDENT TEACHING FOR EXPERIENCED TEACHERS
Teachers who have had one or more years of teaching experience, may be
permitted to complete the student teaching requirement by special arrange-

107

ment in consultation with the Dean of the School of Education. The Dean of the
School of Education may allow the student to fulfill the student teaching
requirement for the Bachelor of Science Degree in Education by making a
substitute requirement in keeping with the needs of the individual student.

PROFESSIONAL LABORATORY EXPERIENCES
Educators have observed that those who enter the teaching profession with
a wide variety of contacts with young children, adolescents, and adults usually
become superior teachers . Many of those who fail as teachers or remain
mediocre throughout their career lack such experiences. Obviously everyone
cannot acquire a sufficient number of these experiences in the classroom. A
program of Professional Laboratory Experiences has been devised by each
curriculum department to include not only school activities but also activities
in communities and in connection with employment. Professional Laboratory
Experiences include all those contacts with children , youth, and adults
(through observation , participation ,and teaching) which make a direct contribution to the understanding of individuals and their guidance in the
teaching-learning process.
It is hoped that this program will help students, as prospective teachers, to
get an overall picture of the nature of work in a public school. It is essential that
students learn to recognize their strong points as well as their deficiencies,
whether they be academic, social, or physical. This program is intended to give
students an opportunity to learn to exploit their outstanding abilities and to
take intelligent action towards elimination of their weaknesses.
Worthwhile experiences are not confined to those which foster intellectual
growth alone. Participation in activities which add to physical and social
development is vital. These may include such activities as sports in both intraand intercollegiate competition, student organizations including professional
and special interest clubs, (dramatics , debate and other forensics), and music
activities.
Professional Laboratory Experiences present an opportunity to add to the
knowledge and skills gained in college classes. The program offers a yardstick
which will assist to measure the practical value of theory, and to check
student's understanding of theory in action. It will help students to see their
own needs, both personal and professional , and to outline experiences which
should be included in their future study. It will assist students to study
intelligently their ability to guide others in actual learning situations. This program is an opportunity for self-improvement; it is an excellent means by which
students can become more realistically aware of their own capabilities.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
General Information
The early childhood education program provides the academic background
and field work needed for teaching certification from nursery school through
third grade. Upon completion of the program , the prospective teacher will
receive a Bachelor of Science degree and a Pennsylvania Instructional I Certificate. The School of Education is accredited by the National Council for
Accreditation of Teacher Education , and certification in Pennsylvania extends

108

to all fifty states. Our Placement Office is active in aiding students seeking

EARLY CHILDHOOD/SPECIAL EDUCATION
DUAL MAJOR
General Information
Students of superior academic achievement who are majoring in either
Early Childhood Education or Special Education are encouraged to consider
pursuing a dual curriculum leading to Pennsylvania certification in both fields .
Current educational thought advocates the placement of mildly handicapped
youngsters in regular classrooms with special education resource services
made available to the student and the classroom teacher. Students who successfully complete this dual-major program will possess demonstrated
competencies in facilitating the assimilation of the mildly handicapped into the
mainstream of American education and society.

Career Outlook
The growth of mainstream programs for mildly handicapped youngsters
has been rapid . It has been recognized that children with mild forms of handicaps typically attain higher levels of achievement in the regular class environment than in the special self-contained classroom. These children do,
however, need special help and remedial instruction in some areas of the
curriculum . Thus , a relatively new educational concept, the resource room , is
becoming an increasingly common means of addressing the needs of children
while continuing to maintain their enrollment in regular classrooms. This
process of integrating the handicapped child should be initiated early ,
perferably at the preschool level , or no later than the early elementary years.
Teachers trained in both Early Childhood and Special Education will be able to
provide excellent resource services to both children and the other staff
members of an elementary school. Graduates of this program are qualified to
assume several professional roles , including regular early childhood classroom teacher (nursery-th ird grade) , special education classroom teacher mentally retarded, emotionally disturbed , physically handicapped, learning
disabled , brain-damaged - (nursery- twelfth grade) , and resource room
teacher.

Objectives
Early Childhood/Special Education dual majors must demonstrate the
competencies associated with each of the individual certificate programs
(refer to Early Childhood and Special Education brochures) . In addition , the

ELEMENTARY/SPECIAL EDUCATION

General Information
The growth of mainstream programs for mildly handicapped youngsters
has been rapid. It has been recognized that children with mild handicaps
typically attain higher levels of achievement in the regular class environment
than in the special self-contained classroom . However, these children still
need special help and remedial instruction in some areas of the curriculum.
Thus, a relatively new educational concept, the resource room , is becoming an
increasingly common means of addressing the needs of mildly handicapped
children . This process of integrating the handicapped child should be initiated
early , preferably at the preschool level, or no later th'an the early elementary
years. Teachers trained in both elementary and special education will be able
to provide excellent resource services to both children and other staff
members of an elementary school. Graduates of this program are qualified to
assume several professional roles : regular elementary classroom teacher
(K-8), special education classroom teacher (mentally retarded , emotionally
disturbed, physically handicapped , learning disabled, brain-damaged, nursery-grade 12) , and resource room teacher.

123

Career Outlook
Students of superior academic achievement who are majoring in either
Elementary Educat ion or Special Education are encouraged to pursue a dual
curriculum leading to Pennsylvania certification in both fields. Since current
educational thought advocates the placement of mildly handicapped youngsters in regular classrooms with special education resource services made
available to the student and the classroom teacher, students who successfully
complete this dual major program will possess demonstrated competencies in
facilitating the assimilation of the mildly handicapped into the mainstream of
American education and society.

Objectives
Elementary/Special Education dual majors must demonstrate the competencies associated with each of the individual certification programs (refer to
Elementary and Special Education brochures) . In addition , the following
general objectives must be satisfied :
- To demonstrate the ability to identify students who are in need of some
special service
- To demonstrate the ability to work effectively with other teachers in cooperatively planning programs for children with special needs
- To demonstrate the ability to facilitate the social acceptance of children
with handicaps by structuring classroom environments which reinforce
positive interpersonal relationships
- To demonstrate the ability to complete educational assessment of the
learning needs of students
-

To demonstrate the ability to develop individual educational prescriptions
for children based on assessment data

- To demonstrate the ability to effectively modify instructional strategies
and/ or materials to provide for the unique needs of students with learning
handicaps
Students pursuing a dual major will be required to take 128-138 credit
hours, depending upon which required General Education courses may be
excused .

COMMUNITY SERVICES
General Information
The Community Services Personnel Training Program is a four-year undergraduate curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in Special Education . It emphasizes careers working with the handicapped in community
settings other than schools . Training stresses a comprehensive noncategorical approach to understanding handicapping conditions . Students
will learn to work with the mentally retarded, learning disabled, physically
handicapped, emotionally disturbed and brain-injured.

Career Outlook
The field of community alternative services for the handicapped is the
fastest growing area in the field of human care services. Both philosophical
concern and legal mandates have drastically altered the nature of such services during the past few years. Communities are beginning to recognize and
respond to their responsibility for handicapped residents. Large scale warehousing of human beings within institutions has been significantly reduced ,
and more importantly, society is re-examining the central question of institutionalization on humanitarian and constitutional grounds. This shift has
opened an entirely new professional career field - providing communitybased alternative programs for the handicapped. Expansion , while rapid, has
been impeded by the lack of trained personnel. The need for competent
personnel in this area will very probably continue to expand during the '80s.
Graduates of this program will be qualified to assume professional roles as
resident managers of community living arrangements, mental retardation
specialists in MH/MR community programs, supervisors of work activity
centers, supervisors of therapeutic activity centers, supervisors of adult
development centers, supervisors of child development centers, coordinators
of community living arrangements for the handicapped , and supervisors of
sheltered workshops.

Objectives
The general objectives of the Community Services Personnel Training Program are:
- To demonstrate the ability to use effectively behavior management principles in a number of applied settings
- To demonstrate the ability to program effectively and provide instruction to
handicapped clients in the area of daily living skills
- To demonstrate the ability to provide effective counseling services to clients
and their families

COOPERATIVE ENGINEERING PROGRAM
California State College participates in cooperative liberal arts engineering
programs with both the Pennsylvania State University and the University of
Pittsburgh. The student undertakes a three-year curriculum at California State
College concentrating on studies in liberal arts and pre-engineering courses in
Natural Sciences. Upon successful completion of that curriculum and the
recommendation of faculty, the student spends two years at the Pennsylvania
State University or the University of Pittsburgh, at which time the student will
complete the engineering course requirements as specified by the institution.
Some advantages of such cooperative programs include the following :
1. For students who have yet to choose between engineering or another discipline as a field of endeavor, the programs provide the student with initial
studies in both the arts and sciences at California State College during
which time the student may ascertain whether his abilities and interests lie
in the field of engineering or another discipline.
2. The program permits qualified students to receive both a liberal and technical education at relatively low cost.

162

3. Graduates of the program hold two baccalaureate degrees: a B.A. in Natural
Sciences from California State College and a B.S. in Engineering from the
cooperating university. Thus, through five years of study, a student may
complete what otherwise could require six or more years.
The program is designed so that the first year is the same for any enrolled
student independent of his final choice of engineering school or discipline.
This allows students maximum time before these sometimes difficult choices
must be made. Beyond the first year, however, the individual programs are
determined by these choices and therefore rely on careful advising. A rigorous
system of faculty advisement, therefore, is an integral part of the program .
A student transferring to the Pennsylvania State University may enter any of
the following engineering disciplines:
Aerospace Engineering
Environmental Engineering
Agricultural Engineering
Industrial Engineering
Ceramic Science
Mechanical Engineering
Chemical Engineering
Metallurgy
Civil Engineering
Mining Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Nuclear Engineering
Engineering Science
Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering
A student transferring to the University of Pittsburgh may enter any of the
following engineering disciplines:
Chemical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Civil Engineering
Metallurgical/Materials Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Mining Engineering
Industrial Engineering
The requirements for the 3:2 cooperative engineering program vary widely
depending upon both the engineering discipline selected by the student and
upon the university selected for the final two years of study. Specific program
requirements may be obtained by contacting the college admissions office or
Dr. Richard B. Hart, School of Science and Technology, California State
College, California, PA 15419.

RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGY
The Radiologic Technology program is designed for students who have
completed their hospital clinical training and are certified radiologic technologists. The two-year program provides the opportunity for the technologist to
complete the academic requirements for a Bachelor's Degree in Natural
Science with an option in Radiologic Technology.
The program emphasis is placed on a carefully planned liberal arts education to support the technological training received in the hospital laboratory
program.
The science and mathematics courses are designed to provide a background in theoretical and practical relationships of biology, chemistry and
physics. The radiologic technology program integrates the basic sciences so
that the student will have a comprehensive understanding of the principle
effects of radiation in humans. Attention is given to the concepts of atomic and
nuclear physics underlying the production and application of x-rays in
diagnosis and radio-isotope effects in biological systems.

163

The outcome of the degree program should lead to a better understanding
of radiological sciences , human relations and provide training that could lead
to more responsible employment opportunity as supervisors.
The Radiologic Technology program requires the completion of 128 credits
for graduation . Certified radiologic technologists will be awarded 60 credits for
their clinical training .

DRAFTING TECHNOLOGY
The Occupational Outlook Handbook states that holders of an associate
degree in drafting will have the best prospects of employment. Employment of
drafters is expected to rise rapidly as a result of the increasingly complex
design problems of modern products and production. In addition, more
support drafting personnel will be needed as the employment of engineers and
scientists grows. Drafters are employed in a wide variety of industries.
The technical draftsman accounts for approximately 25% of all technicians.
These draftsmen employ a graphic language used throughout the world which
is called the language of industry. With the increased use of photo reproduction of drawings, electronic drafting equipment and computer controlled
drafting machines, the industrial language usage increases its complexity.

basic arithmetic operations with fractions and decimals, calculate percentages and rates
including the specification of correct units and/or labels. These skills will be determined
by pre-test. Each student should also be able to use the language in verbal and written
form at a level judged to be that of a competent high school graduate.
ESP 112. BEHAVIOR PRINCIPLES II. This course familiarizes the student with the
laboratory derived learning principles that constitute the field of applied behavior
analysis . An experimental component provides each student the opportunity to observe
and report on a behavioral intervention program.
ESP 215. EDUCATION OF CHILDREN WITH SEVERE/PROFOUND LEARNING &
BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS. This course has been designed to prepare teachers for
classrooms with severe and/ or profound learning and / or behavior problems. The course
emphasizes the value of a "behavioral approach " with such children . Class participants
are presented with curriculum materials as well as specific instructional techniques/
methodologies which have proven effective with such a population . Class participants
spend time in classrooms which contain children with severe and/or profound handicapping conditions. They are responsible for teaching select self-help and academic
skills as well as the encouraging or discouraging of selected student behaviors .

262

ESP 250. WORKSHOP FOR TEACHER AIDES. This workshop has been designed
especially for teacher aides who work in classes for hand icapped children . The content
will , however, be of great value to all teacher's aides since it deals with methods that
might enable the participants to deal more easily and more effectively with any children .
Numerous activities will characterize the workshop ; it will not be a lecture-type
approach .
ESP 278. ACADEMIC AND RECREATIONAL SKILL TRAINING. Handicapped persons
residing in the community and receiving services from various community agencies
must acquire those skills which will facilitate their adoption to, and assimilation by, the
community at large. Important among these skills are basic competencies in such
" academic" areas as reading , writing , communication and computational abilities. In
order to live independently, the handicapped must be capable of " normal " behavioral
responses in various social , vocational and recreational situations. Handicapped persons need to be aware of the constructive leisure time and recreational opportunities
which are available within the community. Participation in these activities will significantly enrich their lives and enhance their social adjustment.
ESP 279. OCCUPATIONAL SKILL TRAINING & ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING (ADL) .
In order to achieve an acceptable level of "normalized" status in the community, two
critical aspects of handicapped individuals must approach a reasonable level of development. These aspects involve : (1) the person's occupation , position or primary means of
involvement in meaningful activity; and (2) how that person conducts himself in
performing normal, daily and routine duties. Deficits in activities of daily living skills are
often the most obvious behavioral deficiencies to the general public and likewise the
most frequently overlooked and "taken for granted " by staff involved in training handicapped individuals.
This course is intended to focus upon the prevocational and vocational needs of handicapped youth and adults as well as those supportive skills necessary for achieving
acceptable levels of " normal adult adjustment." Since the habilitation and training needs
of the handicapped population is so diverse, the nature of course content and emphasis
shall also be broad , to include such programs as sheltered workshops and rehabilitation
facil ities, work activity centers, therapeutic activity centers , CLA's, etc.
ESP 306. DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND PRESCRIPTIVE TEACHING . This course is
divided into three major segments. The first .segment introduces the student to the
essentials of testing and covers topics such as : nomenclature , purpose of testing , and
descriptive statistics. The second segment deals mainly with test evaluation, test demonstrations, identification of the behaviors or constructs measured by standardized normreferenced tests, criterion-referenced tests and teacher constructed tests. The third
segment deals with the interpretation of test performance and includes such topics as :
item analysis, relationship of sub-test scores within and among tests, remediation
strategies, and writing an educational assessment summary with recommendations for
instructional programming .
HPE 337 . PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR THE EXCEPTIONAL CHILD. Physical
Education for the Exceptional Child is an introduction to the principles, techniques, and
research in the physical education training for the exceptional person . Major emphasis
will be on gross-motor skills and physical activities leading to lifetime recreation and
sports.
ESP 360. FIELD EXPERIENCE FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION . The Field Experience
course provides for both undergraduate and graduate students a vehicle for obtaining
needed practical experiences with various groups of handicapped children . The type of
practicum site may vary widely and would include such settings as public and private
residential institutions, day care centers, therapeutic activity centers, sheltered workshops, rehabilitation centers, community MH/ MR programs, and summer camps for
handicapped children .

263

ESP 378. COMMUNITY RESOURCE UTILIZATION AND PUBLIC RELATIONS. This
course serves two specific but related functions . Community-based programs for handicapped individuals utilize community facilities , agencies and services to provide broad
base support and assistance to the client populations . In those situations where an
insufficient or inadequate level of support is in place the public as well as the policy
makers must be mobilized to fill identified voids . Very often the springboard from which
an effective service base can be established is a well developed program of public relations . Certainly the public relations program also serves the handicapped by educating
the community members - the neighbors of handicapped persons living in the community.
ESP 379 . BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AND LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS. Community
based programs currently exist both as a mandate of law and at the pleasure of legislation from a fiscal standpoint. Further, the relationships between providers and clients,
providers and agencies, agencies and clients, etc . are all regulated . This course ,
therefore, explores the many legal implications involved in community based programs
and specifies for the student the responsibility that he/ she will face as a professional.
ESP 405 and ESP 417. CURRICULUM PLANNING AND METHODS I & II . Curriculum
and Methods I and II are a block of courses which are offered to special education majors
the semester prior to their student teaching experience. The major purpose of these
courses is the instruction of communication and arithmetic skills to all age groups of
exceptional children . Specifically, Curriculum and Methods I is concerned with communication skills (reading - silent and oral , vocabulary development and comprehension .) Curriculum and Methods II emphasizes arithmetic skills. Both courses stress: (1) a
behavioral diagnosis of communication and arithmetic strengths and weaknesses; (2)
the development and implementation of intervention strategies for various populations
of exceptional children; (3) the selection and / or development of appropriate materials
for instruction ; (4) the procedures and techniques for continuous evaluation for the
instructional process in order to determine effectiveness .
ESP 426. HABILITATION TRAINING . Habilitation Training is a course designed for
special education majors to be taken during the semester prior to student teaching. The
course content is specifically related to special education programs for senior high
school students as well as those community services designed to serve post-school
handicapped persons . In particular, emphasis is placed upon vocational preparation
and training . Since the vocational needs of handicapped youth are extremely diverse
(based upon degree of severity) , the course provides for the familiarization of the student
with : (1) all governmental and private services available to serve the needs of handicapped youth; (2) program elements that function to meet those needs; (3) public school
functions and programs as they pertain to vocational training ; (4) standard and regulations as they relate to vocational programming , and (5) the means by which a professional in the field may best utilize the programs and resources to improve the employability of the handicapped youth .
ESP 459. STUDENT TEACHING . In the new comprehensive curriculum , each course will
have a practicum associated with it that will involve consistent contact throughout each
semester with special children. The special education staff members will make a concerted effort to insure that special education majors are exposed to the full range of
children covered under the comprehensive certification, i.e., mentally retarded ,
emotionally disturbed , learning disabled, brain damaged, and physically handicapped .
Further planning will insure that our students will be exposed to the dimensions of mildprofound and elementary-secondary since the new certification covers K-12, mild
through profound in each of the handicapping areas. Special education majors will
identify two of the handicapping areas for their student teaching experience . The areas
chosen by students probably will relate to their specific vocational goals and their own
interests and strengths. The major practicum, student teaching , will provide an intense
experience for the student in two of the handicapping areas for a period of sixteen weeks .

264

ESP 478. PSYCHO-SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND CLIENT COUNSELING . This course
will examine the concept of normalization and how the emphasis on the normalization of
the experiences of handicapped clients in community based programs is vital to their
successful adjustment. Methods for developing normali zing experiences will likewise be
explored. Because community service personnel interact with professionals from
several other disciplines , this course will examine basic information dealing with the
psycho-soc ial development of the handicapped . Handicapped clients and their famil ies
likewise are frequently in need of counseling services to assist their adjustment to the
community program. Accordingly, fundamental counseling and intervi ewing skills will
be stressed .
ESP 479. PROGRAM EVALUATION FOR PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT. At all levels
and in all types of community service programs , there exists the need for persons to
engage in roles in which required skills are categorized as: managerial, decision-making ,
planning , evaluating , supervising , communicating , etc. This course is intended to fulfill
this need for train ing of personnel within community facilities who are required to
perform those duties. Even for individuals who would not enter directly into the " administrative" roles mentioned above, their understanding and appreciation of the associated processes and applications would greatly enhance their involvement in the training
programs. In addition , their opportunity to move into these " managerial" roles may be an
attractive incentive to many. The environments for which the training techniques in the
course are designed would include. Community Living Arrangements, sheltered workshops, Adult Activity Centers (both therapeutic and work) , and other human service providers and community social welfare agencies . Competencies will be developed that are
knowledge/ information-based as well as skill-based .
ESP 490. PRACTICUM. This course syllabus ESP 490 has been written during an interim
interval in the legislation regarding a new Pennsylvania School code . Since House Bill
770 did not pass because of substantive charges , presently, the use of the Public School
Code of 1949, recodifying it, deleting sections which are obsolete and adding new sections updating the school code with no substantive change, is under discussion . A new
bill will be introduced in January of 1977 which may take several forms before passing,
giving Pennsylvan ia a new school code. Therefore , I have used the current legislation for
special education of June 3, 1975 as the basis of the course syllabus.
ESP 498 . INTERNSHIP. Each student majoring in the Handicapped Persons Community Service Personnel Training Program will complete a one semester (15 week)
internship assigned to community agencies . Ten weeks will be spent working in all
phases of a community living arrangements (CLA) including client counseling , skill
training , recreational planning , public relations, business and personnel management,
etc . Interns will be required to "live-in" at the CLA facility when it is considered essential
to their training . The remaining five weeks of the internship will be spent in another type
of community program for the handicapped such as Therapeutic Activities Centers ,
Work Activity Centers, Adult Development Centers, Sheltered Workshops , etc . Students
will be encouraged to identify the type of agency they are interested in and attempts will
be made to arrange an appropriate affiliation.
