GENERAL INFORMATION

HISTORY AND PURPOSE

In 1867, the year Nebraska became a state, the state legislature provided for the ,establishment of a training school for teachers, or "normal school," in Peru . At that time, only two other such institutions existed west of the Missouri River, one in Kansas and one in California.

For thirty-eight years, Peru , was the only state normal school 2n Nebraska . As the population .increased, however, the le.gislature provided for three others - one at Kearney in 1905, one at Wayne in 1910, and one at Chadron in 1911. In 1921, the legislature extended the curriculum offered in the normal schools from two years to four years and authorized these institutions to grant baccalaureate degrees which might be either the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Education, the Bachelor of S c ience Degree in Education, or the Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Education Finally, the 1949 Legislature authorized thei . addition of a liberal arts curriculum to the program of these teacher training institutions and the privilege of granting the· Bachelor of Arts Degree. At the same time the titles of the four institutions were changed from State Normal Schools to State Teachers Colleges

Thus, while .the primary purpose of the Nebraska State Teachers Colleg,e at Peru is now, as it always has been, the preparation of teachers for the public schools of Nebraska, a general · liberal education as well as pre - professional general education and terminal vocational education are also provided by this college.

SCHOLARSHIP STANDARDS

The business of a student is to learn , a nd the business of a college is to meet the educational needs of its students by providing an environment conducive to learning So long as student and college are able to perform these complementary functions satisfactorily, it is well for the partnership, entered into when the student matriculates, to continue; when either fails it is advisable to end the partnership.

' One indication that the right relationship does not exist betw ~e n the student and the college is the accumulation on the part of the student of an excessive frnmber of failing or near failing marks. Therefore, at the close of each semester and summer term, the registrar r eports to the Dean of Men -and Dean -of Women the names of students having grade -averages of 1.00 or below. A committee, consisting of the appropriate d ean, the student's counselor, and the student himself, examines the complete record ·of the student and makes a decision regarding .his further educational plans.

In addition to employing the above counseling procedure to guard against unproductive educational programs, th e college maintains fixed minimum standards of scholarship for all the teacherpreparation curri c ulums and the liberal arts degr e,e curriculum. A grade average of 2.00 is required for completion of any of the teacher preparation curriculums- the four-year curriculums that prepare for high school teaching, the two ~year and four-year curriculums that prepare for elementary tl)aching, and the twelve-we ek and one-year curriculums that prepare for rural school tea ching. A grade average of 1 .5 0 is requir ~d for completion of any lib era l arts curriculum and the A. B. Degree.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS

Students who have a total point .average of 3.2 may be graduated with hono1·s; those :who have a total point average of 3.7 may be graduat e d ;with high honors.

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION CURRICULUMS

Th e instructional program of th e college consists of seven interrelated divi sional pro grams-Edu ca tion , Fine Arts, Health a nd Physic a l Education, Langu age Arts, Practi cal Arts, Science a nd Mathem a tics, and Social Studies- each of which contributes by its own special me a ns to th e purposes of the college, central of which is the mission of preparing t each ers for the schools of N e br aska. Additional purpos es served cons ist of providing, for those who do not wish to prepare for t eaching, a general liberal educa tion, preprofession a l education, or junior t e rminal vocational education.

To s e rve the a bove purposes most economically, the courses offered in the selveral college divisions are organized into curriculums, the t e rm applied to a group of courses desi g ned for one individual, or for a group. of individu a ls having a common purpose. Th e curriculums offered by th e coll ege include four year professional c urri c ulums in e l eme nt ary ed ucation and secondary education; a four-y ear liberal arts curriculum flexible enough to satisfy a variety of int eres ts; and ,a number of two-ye ar and one-year terminal vocation curriculums a nd pre-professional curriculums, including twoyear c urriculums in elementary education a nd a one-year curriculum in rural education. To me e t an e mergen cy situation, the college offers, also, a twelve-week curriculum (summer term only) in rural education.

SELECTION OF A CURRICULUM

In genera l , the various curriculums offered by the college c onsist pa~tly of general ed u ca tion courses and partly of specialized cour se s. The ge n era l ed u catio n cou r ses are those thought to be ne e d e d .by all individuals for effec tiv e living, r ega rdl ess of their o c cupations. Th e specialized co urs es are those that prepare specifica lly for particular teaching positions or other occupations, or satisfy specia l avocat ion a l or c ultural interests.

At en tranc e, each stud ent must choose an occupational objective o ·~ a f ie ld of prin c ipal c ultural int e rest This determines the c urr: c ulu m that h e will .follow and the counselor w ho will g uide him in his ed u ca tional expe r iences. Th e choice may be t e ntative .a nd may be chang e d l a t e r, thoug h th,i. s may result in some lo ss of cre dit.

DEGREE MAJORS AND MINORS

In th e degre e cur r ic ulums, a definite pro gram of general e du cation is r e quired of a ll students. ( See page 35). However, while some variation is pe r mitt e d in th e gene ral courses, the differentiation nee d ed to c:1re for differences in professional or c ultural objectives is provided chiefly by m ea ns of major and minor course sequences.

In the case of the professional curriculums leadin g to d egrees in ed u cat ion, eac h student prnst comp let e one major and one minor, exce pt th at no 'minor is required for a Bach elor of Fine Arts in Education degr.ee In the curriculums that prepare for elementary tea ching , th e major must be elementary education. In those that prep a re for secondary t e aching, a core of courses in 33

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

secondary education must be included in addition to the major and the minor. Frequently, it is possible and desirable for a student in a secondary education curriculum to complete one or more additional minors, or a second major. In any event, the combination of majors and minors should be expected to prepare the student in as many subjects as he likely will be called upon to teach in a typical position in a Nebraska high school.

In curriculums leading to the liberal arts degree (A.B.), a major and two minors or two majors are required.

A major must include at least 24 semester hours of work, . and a minor 15 semester hours. No course may be counted twice in meeting these minimum requirements . The latter provision is n e cessitated by the fact that in a few cases the same course is included in a major ~nd :a closely related minor.

In gener a l, credits transferred from another college may be used to meet major and minor requirements, provided: (1) at least one course in each major or minor is earned in this college, and (2) all transferred credits are approved ,by the head of the sponsoring division.

Specific major and minor requirements are given in the sever ~l divisional programs .

.PRE-PROFESSIONAL CURRICULUMS

Today, many professional schools require for entrance two or more years of college credit in general education or basic liberal arts courses, which vary only slightly from one profession to another. Since such work is required for t,he professional teacher- preparation curriculums, Peru offers a variety of courses that serve as pre-professional education, not only for prospective teachers, but also for prospective doctors, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, veterinarians, lawyers , ~ngineers, agriculturists, foresters, morticians, business executives, journalists , and others.

Students who come to Peru for pre-professional education are assigned to counselors who assist them in selecting the courses they need. Those interested in preparing to teach vocational agriculture or vocational home-maldng may take the first two years of training at Peru and finish at the University of Nebraska. The vocational agriculture curriculum is outlined in the program of the Science and Mathematics Division; that in vocational home-making in the program of the Practical Arts E>ivision.

JUNIOR TERMINAL OR VOCATIONAL CURRICULUMS

Many students are unable to attend college four years or more and wish to prepare for an occupation that requires less time in preparation than do the professions. Such students will find a variety of educational , opportunities at Peru, opportunities to prepare for attractive occupations in one or two years . '. ,,,

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

ADMISSION TO TEACHER-PREPARATION CURRICULUMS*

Admission to the co ll ege (page 28) constitutes admission to the liberal arts curriculum, pre-professional curricu lums, and junior terminal curricu lums ( exclusive of those that prepare for teaching). To be admitted to any of the curricu lums leading to recommendation for a Nebraska teachers certificate, a student must be approved by an evaluation committee consisting of: (1) The Dean of Instruction, (2) the head of the education divison-or his representativ,e, (3) the or representative of such division head, ( 4) the - dean of the co lle ge, and (5) the dean of Wome n.

The procedure to be followed by students who wish to be considered for admission to the twelve-week and one-year curriculums in rural education and the two-year curricu lum s in elemen tary education consists · merely of indicating on the regular application for admission to the co lle ge the curri.9 ulum desired in each case, and of checking to see that the transcript of high school record ( or previous college record) has be e n received by the registrar. Admission to any one of the above curriculums constitutes admission to the o_thers, if a student wishes to transfer or progress from one to another. ·

In the case of the four-year professional education curriculums, the first two years are considered to be pre-professional in nature. Therefore, admission must be gained to the upper or professional division .by each student before entering the third or junior year. The procedure is the same as that outlined above except that a special application form- Application for Admission to Professional Curriculum- is us ed. Students who have been · admitted · previously to a junibr teacher-preparation curricu lum must app ly for admission a · second time, when they reac h •the upper division.

The bases on which the evaluation committee will judge the qualifications of each student seeking admission to a teacher-preparation curriculum are: (1) the student's scholarship record; (2) the · student's record in the regular freshman and sophomore testing program; (3) the student's work record, if he has had work experience; and ( 4) the student's record of service to his school and his community.

*The admission procedure described here was adopted on February 7, 1950, to become effective at once . However, for students who first enrolled in Peru between September 1, 1945, and September 1, 1950, the recommendation of the evaluation committee shall be considered advisory rather than mandatory.
