I The College

The College
California State College is a state-owned multipurpose institution
offering degrees in teacher education and arts and sciences . The College
was founded in 1852 and became a state normal school in 1914. In 1929
the school became a four-year degree-granting institution under the name
of California State Teachers College. In 1959, the college assumed its
present name as a reflection of its expanded purposes. Graduate studies
were initiated in 1961 . The Arts and Sciences Program was initiated in
September, 1962. Further expansion of the college's missions and goals
occurred in 1974, when the schools of Science and Technology and
Continuing Education were begun.
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, approximately a one-hour drive
south of Pittsburgh. The college 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 Pittsburgh's International Airport.
The existing campus consists of thirty-three buildings situated on 148
acres. A stadium, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, and track and picnic
facilities are located at the College Farm approximately two miles south of
the main campus. In addition, groundbreaking will take place in October
1976 for a new multi-million dollar library.
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, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Penquins, Pirates, Triangles,
various museums and all of the excitements and attractions of a major
metropolitan area.

RESEARCH REQUIREMENTS FOR OPTION I -Thirty (30) Credits
One of the requisites for fulfilling the requirements for Option I of the
Master's degree at California State College is the preparation of a research
project or thesis. The research project and the thesis may be distinguished
in the following manner :
The research project should make a contribution to the graduate
student; it should make him a more understanding and competent teacher.
21

The project may pertain to the teacher's own classroom situation or to
some other type of limited research. The project needs the approval only
of the adviser, but the· adviser may request the meeting of a special
committee who would also review and evaluate the proposed study. Two
(2) credit hours are given for the research project .
The thesis should make a contribution to the student and to his field ; it
treats a problem to a deeper degree. Better controls, wider sampling, and
further basic research techniques must be employed for a thesis . Before a
research proposal can be accepted for a thesis, it must be approved by a
committee of three graduate f_aculty members - the candidate's adviser , a
faculty member of the candidate's department, and a member of another
department. Four to six (4-6) credit hours are given for a thesis.
The research project and thesis may differ in the nature of research and
in details, but they should follow the same format and regulations as
prescribed in the bulletin, Preparation of Theses and Research Projects,
which is available in the Graduate Office .
A research paper ( 1 credit) is another research option available to
English majors.
A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations by Kate
L. Turabian is the adopted style sheet for the graduate program at
California State College except as special requirements of individual
departments demand the use of another style sheet.

The Graduate Programs
INTRODUCTION
The Graduate Division of California State College offers three types of
advanced degrees : Master of Education (M.Ed.), Master of Arts (M .A.),
and Master of Science (M.S.).
The Master of Education Program is intended primarily for qualified
in-service teachers and other applicants who meet the standards for
graduate study which were established by the Graduate Council. The
following Master of Education Programs are offered: Administration
(Elementary Principal and Secondary Principal) , Biology, Chemistry,
Elementary Education, Guidance ( Elementary and Secondary) , English,
Geography, Industrial Arts Education, Mathematics, Mentally and/or
Physically Handicapped, Reading Specialist, Social Studies, and Speech
and Hearing.
The areas of specialization for the Master of Arts Program are English,
Geography, History, Mathematics, and Political Science. The Biology and
Psychology Departments offer Master of Science programs.
The Master of Arts and the Master of Science degrees are offered for
applicants who have a major or adequate background preparation in the
area in which they wish to matriculate. The students have an opportunity
to study in depth in their areas of specialization and become more
proficient in their discipline.
In those graduate programs that lead to initial certification, individual
departments will determine the competency of the student for certification . It should be noted that receiving a Master's degree is not synonymous
with initial certification. The areas for which certification is given on the
graduate level at California State College are: Administration (Elementary
Principal and Secondary Principal), Counselor Education (Elementary
Guidance and Secondary Guidance), Mentally and/or Physically Handicapped, Reading and School Psychology.
Graduate work at California is especially designed to include classroom,
laboratory, clinical, and research experience that will add breadth and
depth to the educational background of the students. The program for
each person admitted to the graduate division will be planned in
cooperation with the adviser and will be based upon the previous training
and experience of the student.
A minimum of thirty (30) or thirty -six (36) semester hours is required
of all degree students, depending on the option chosen by the student. The
curriculum pattern differs for the various areas of specialization.

29

Since standards of proficiency described elsewhere must be met, it
should be understood that the requirements listed in the preced ing
paragraph constitutes a minimum requirement and does not guarantee
graduation.
The graduate program is not merely an extension of work at the
undergraduate level. More vigorous standards are applied and a degree of
independence in the pursuit of knowledge and special competencies is
requ ired. Special emphas is is placed on the cultivation of scholarly
attitudes and methods of research.

ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM FOR PRINCIPALS
The Administration Program for Principals at California State College
provides graduate students with an opportunity to obtain a Master's degree
in elementary or secondary school administration and / or certification as
an elementary or secondary school pr incipal. The program is competency based and utilizes a variety of instructional modes. Previous professional
experience and academic background are assessed to prescribe the program
of studies and field experiences .
The principal trainee will develop cognitive and affective competencies
in the following generic areas :

BIOLOGY
MASTER OF EDUCATION
The Master of Education degree is a professional one designed primarily
to improve biology teaching in the public schools . In-service biology
educators are encouraged to become more effective in their chosen
profession by taking coursework and/or experiences in the graduate
program of the Department of Biological Sciences and in several other

31

departments of the Graduate School. This program offers a broad variety
of academic, pedagogical, and research opportunities for the biology
teacher .
The graduate student, in close consultation with the department,
graduate committee, and adviser, selects academic courses he feels will
best broaden his scope of understanding in biology . Certain other courses
are aimed at updating curriculum and instruction methodologies and are
part of all students programs . Research opportunities are provided to all
individuals, either in an academic or practical educational area.
The Department of Biological Sciences of California State College is
housed in the Frich Biology Building, an ultra-modern, multi-million dollar
teaching and research facility equipped with the latest in design, materials
and instrumentation. Specialized areas for student and faculty research, a
herbarium, a museum, live animal colonies, a greenhouse, an electron
microscope and a radiation laboratory all complement this fine classroomlaboratory structure.
The student's record is reviewed by a departmental committee, who
may require additional courses in biology or related fields to remedy
deficiencies . After taking 9 to 12 credits with a 3.0 minimum Quality
Point Average a comprehensive candidacy examination covering general
biology must be passed.
At least one course in Organic Chemistry is required for the Master of
Education program and deficiency must be remedied as undergraduate
credit before the candidacy examination is taken.
Ancillary graduate level courses up to 6 credits in fields closely related
to the major program may be substituted for biology courses upon
approval of the adviser and a majority vote of the department faculty.
Three options are available under the M.Ed:
Option A Thirty credits, with thesis
Option B Thirty credits, with research project
Option C Thirty-six credits, with research-oriented courses.
After 20 credits are accumulated, a change in option requires
permission of the department faculty.

COUNSELOR EDUCATION
ELEMENTARY GUIDANCE

MASTER OF EDUCATION
In addition to the general requirements for admission to graduate
st udi es, applicants who wish to be approved for admission to the
Elementary Guid ance Program must be certified in an educational area
(elementary, secondary, art, music, public school nursing, etc.) . A pplicants
who have an undergraduate degree in any re lated field (psychology,
sociology, etc.) will also be considered.
Gr aduate study does not carry with it admission to candidacy for the
Ma ster's degree. Th e student entering the program must apply for
candidacy for the Master's degree after completing not less than six (6)
hours nor mor e than twelve (12) hours of graduate work at Ca lifornia
State College. Within these twelve hours, the student m ust have successfully completed ELG 701 - Organi zation and Administration of Guidance
in the Elementary School , ELG 702 - Counseling Th eory, and be enro ll ed
in or completed ELG 711 - Pr acticu m I. Approval for admission to
candidacy for the Master's degree will be determined by the Guidance
Staff. A meeting with the Staff may be required.
The El ementary Guidance Program at California State College makes a
distinction between the completion of the Master's Degree in Education
and the approval for certification in El ementary Guidance. A Maste r's
Degree connotates th e assi mil ation and understanding of the didactic
requirements of the El ementary Guid ance Prog ram. Certification in
Elementary Guidance is based on the ability to demonstrate competence
in counseling and consulting in the practicum req uir ements of the
guidance program. Th e refore, it is possib le for a student in Elementary
Guidance to obtain a Ma ster's degree in Education without obtaining
certification in El ementary Guidance .
The student majoring in Elementary Guidance has a choice of two
options in obtaining the Master's Degree. Option A requires a minimum of
thirty-two (32) hours of credit, with a research project or thesis req uir ed.
Option B is a minimum of thirty-six (36) credit hours with no project or
thesis required.

The Secondary Guidance program (36 credits) at California State
College will provide graduate students with an opportunity to obtain a
Master's degree in education and / or certification as a secondary schoo l

instructional modes. Th e modes of instruction will consist primarily of
supervised field experiences, learning contracts, se minars and workshops,
computer assisted instruction, independent study , learning activity packets
and case studies .
The program is divided into five (5) generic competencies, which center
around the following areas: counseling, consulting , child growth and
development , research and evaluation, and career planning. Each competency must be completed satisfactorily before the credits will be awarded.
Th e competencies may be completed through the various modes of
instruction as stated above . The main emp hasis, however, is on the

an assessment and orientation seminar (3 credits) at the beginning of the
program . During this seminar, the students and staff will assess the
competencies already acquired through the experiences one has lived.
These competencies will be documented and demonstrated by the students
and the results kept in an "Individual Assessment and Prescription Folio."
The staff and student, at the end of the sem inar , wi ll then be able to write
a "prescription," based on competencies not achieved which will then
become the plan to complete the remaining of the required competencies .
The five generic compete nci es are as follows:
(1) The Counselor-Trainee will demonstrate the ability to effectively

counsel individuals and groups.
(2) Th e Counselor-Trainee will demonstrate the abi lity to be an
effective consultant .
(3) Th e Counselor-Trainee will demonstrate an understanding of how

LIVING HISTORY : STUDY AND REPLICATION OF
MATERIAL FOLK CULTURE
3 er.
The intent of the course is to bring the material folk cultu re of the 18th, 19th, and
early 20th centuries "back to life." Students will seek examples of southwestern
Pennsylvania crafts that are now extinct. They will interview persons knowledgable
of the crafts, study how they were performed , and then replicate (duplicate) the craft
objects being studied. Only one to several crafts will be studied, depending on the
class size. Possible crafts for study are weaving, hog butchering, bread baking, and
chair making. The object of the course is to follow the material folk culture item
under study from orally collecting information about the item, studying the
techniques of reproducing the item, actual replications of the object, and using the
reproduced item as it was used in the 18th or 19th century . For example, if weaving
were the project under study, the course would include washing and carding the raw
wool on cards that students would make, dyeing it with natural dyes, spinning the
wool into yarn, and weaving fabric on a loom the students will make. Bread baking
would include milling of the grain and baking of bread , using local recipes, in an
outdoor baking oven that the class would build . Chair making would include cutting
of the wood , turning legs on a student-made lathe, working the wood on a carpenter's
shaving horse, and splitting oak to make a split oak seat.
