NEBRASKA ST ATE TEACHERS COLLEGE Peru) Nebraska

EXTENSION COURSES The purpose of Extension courses, wheth er Correspond or Study Center, is to extend the services of the State Teachnce College to every properly qualified person who cannot attend: educational institution for the time being, but who wishes to pursue systematic study under competent direction and for col lege credit with a view of attending College later.

• In a~dition to its courses in residence , one of t he most valuable services that the Teachers College can render is an opportunity for teachers in service to continue their education and to receive aid and inspiration in their daily work. Teachers are urged to avail themselves of every such advantage that this state institution, which is their institution, has to offer them.

1. CORRESPONDENCE COURSES Correspondence courses are offered not only for college credit, but also for mature students who need to earn College entrance credits.

These courses have an advantage over study center courses in two respects; first, the individual can take what h e needs, and second he can carry the work forward as rapidly as he is able.

Because of these two advantages, correspondence courses have grown in favor during the past few years. Inasmuch as oneeighth of the amount required for degree, diploma, or certificate may be taken by correspondence, this work is appealing strongly both to graduates of t h e two year college course wh o wish to take work toward a degree while teaching, and to t hose students who were compelled to teach before completing t h e two year course.

• No student, however, should attempt to take all t he work he needs by study center and correspondence, even if that were possible, as by doing so he loses the inspiration that com~s fromd contact with a virile student body and a sympathetic an enthusiastic faculty. This contact brings about a culture, refinement, and poise that resident attendance only can give. . t· n How enrolled: Each student must fill out an applica io blank, (see page 13 of this, bulletin for blank) in C!rder th;; ~~: instructor may ascertain his fitness to pursue wi~h Pf'! at course he desires. If the student is accepted, h e is notifie~he once by the Registrar, to whom he pays the necessar y fees. ·vinstructor then will communicate directly with t he student, gi ing instructions and directions for the course.

Regula tions is 1. A fee of $3.00 per credit hour, $6.00 f or t wo hour~ded charged in advance, each person enrolled . No fees are ~efutions for any cause after enrollment has been accept ed ang dtr~;king for work have been sent to the student. Every st u etn. ulation this work must be a matriculant of t h e College. (Ma nc fee is $5.00, paid but once.)
