GENERAL INFORMATION

HISTORY

In 1867, the yea"r Nebrask a became a state, the state legislature provided for the establishment of a training school for teacher.s, 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 in Nebraska. As the population increased, howev er, the legislature provided for three others-one at K ear ney in 1905, one at Wayne in 1910, and one at Chadron in 1911. In 1921, the legislatur e 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 e ither the Bachelor of Arts· Degre e in Education, the Bachelor of Science Degree in Edu cation, or the Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Education. Finally, rthe 1949 Legislature authorized the addition of a lib eral arts curriculum to ,the program of these tea·cher 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.

PURPOSES

The primary purposes of the college are to provide:

(1) a general education for all students to insure acquaintance with the fie1ds of knowledge which should be th e common possession of- educated per-sons as citizens in a free democratic society,

(2) the broad professional education necessary in the training of teachers for service in the public elementary and secondary schools of Nebraska,

(3) ,basic preparation required for admission to p rofessional .schools including law, medicine, engineering, dentistry, theology, nursing, pharmacy, journalism, forestry, veterinary science, and social service,

(

4) .terminal vocational education for those who wish to enter business ur industry in occupations requiring less than a college degree.

4 Superior

3 Excellent

2 Average

1 Passing

O Below passing

X Incomplete

However, an X may be changed to a mark carrying credit, when full credit or partial credit has been satisfactorily earned, provided such change i-s made by the end of the next succeeding semester l!lfter the X has been re·c;eived.

SCHOLARSHiP STANDARDS

The business of a student is to learn, and the business of a college is to meet the educational n ee ds of its students by providing an . environment conducive to learning. So long as student and college are able to perform t:trese complementary functions satisfactorily, it is well for the partnership, e ntered into when th e student matriculates, to continue; when either fails it is advisable to ·end the partnership.

One indication that the right relationship does not exist between the student and the ·college is the accumulation on the pa'!'t of the student o.f an excessive number of failing or ne ar failing marks. Therefore, at the close of each semester and summer term, the registrar reports to the Dean of Men and Dean of Women the names of students having grade-averages of 2 .00 or below. A committee, co nsisting of the appropriate dean, the student 's counselo'l', and the student himself, examines the complete record of the student and mak es a decision regarding his further educational plans.

In addition to employing the above counseling procedure to guard against unproductive educational programs, the college maintains fixed minimum standards of scholarship for all ,the teacherprep&ration curriculums and the liberal arts degree curri-culum. 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-ye&r and .four-year curriculums that prepare for elementary teaching, and the twelve-week and one-year curriculums that prepare for rural school teaching A grade average of 1.50 is required for completion of any liberal aTts currkulum and the A B. Degree.

ACADEMIC REGUI.'.ATIONS

SCHOLASTIC HONORS

Scholastic honors are of two types; honors and high honors.

Semester Honor Roll. An honor roll is compiled at the end of each semester and summer session. To be considered for honors a student must complete all of his work and earn at least twelve hours in a semester, six hours in a nine-week summer session, or four hours in a six-week summer session Students who have a point average of 3 .2 will earn honors; those who have a point average of 3 .7 will earn higll honors.

Graduation·with Honors. ·A candidate for the Bachelor's Degree may be .graduated with honors if he completes all of his work and earns at least twelve hours each semester, six hours each nine-week summer session, or four •hours each six-week summer session.

Students who have a total point average of 3.2 may be g •raduated with ho~ors; those who have a total point av1>rage of 3.7 may be graduated with high honors.

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION CURRICULUMS

The instructional program of the college consists of se ven: interrelated divisional programs- Educational , Fine Arts , Health and Physical Education, Language Arts· , Practical Arts, Science and Mathematics, and .Social Studies- each of which contributes by its own special means to the purposes of the college, central of which is the mission of preparing teachers for the schools of Nebraska . Additional purposes served consist of providing, for those who do not wish to prepare for tea;ching, a g e neral liberal education, preprofessional education, or junior terminal vocational education.

To se•rve the above purposes most economically, th e course s offered in the several coilege divisions are organized into curriculums, the term applied to a group of courses designed for on e individual, or for a group of individuals having a common purpose The curriculums offored by the college include four year professional curriculums in elementary education and secondary education; a four-'year liberal arts _ curriculum flextble enough to satisfy a variety of interests; and a numbe•r of two-year and one-year terminal vocation curriculums and pre-prof essional curriculums, including twoyear curriculums in elementary education and a on e -year curriculum in rural education To meet an emergency situation, the colleg e offers, also, a twelve-week curriculum (summer term only) in rural education.

SELECTION OF A CURRICULUM .

In general, the various curriculums offered by the college consist partly of general edJ!cation courses and partly of specialized courses. The general· education courses are those thought to be needed by all individuals for effective living, regardless of their occupations. The specialized courses ·are thos·e that pr epare specifically for ,particular teaching positions -0r other occupations, or satisfy special avocational or cultural interests.

At entrance, each student must choose an occupational objective or a field of principal cultural interest This determines the curriculum that he will follow and the counselor who will guide him in his educational experiences. The choice m a y be tentative and may be changed later, though this may result in some loss of credit.

DEGREE MAJORS AND MINORS

In the degree curriculums, a definite program of general education is required of all students. (See page 37). However, while some variation is permitted in the general courses, the differentiation needed to care for diffF, rences in professional or cultural objectives is provided chiefly by me,ans o; major and minor course sequences.

In the case of the prqf e ssional curriculums leading to degrees m education in secondary school teaching, each student must complete, in addition to the general education requi•rements, one major and at least two teaching minors. The only exception to this regulation is 33

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

in the case of the curricul um leading to the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Education in which no minor is rP.q uired although strongly recommended. It is hop e d that students will prepare themselves in as many teaching_ minors as they will likely be ca ll ed upon to teach in a typical position in a Nebra:ska high school. In the curriculums that -'prepare for element8<rY teaching the students must earn a major in elementary education and a minimum of 12 hours in each of four aca demi c fields in which they will be teaching.

In curricu lums l eading to the liberal arts degree (A.B.), a major and two minors or two majors are required. A major must inclu de at least i!4 semester hours of work and .a minor, 15 semester hours.

No course may be counted twice in meeting the minimum requirements.

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

Specific major and minor requirements are given in the several divisional progr a ms. The number of hours required for the majors and minors in the various programs are list ed below

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

Today, many professional schools require for entrance two or more years of cQIJege credit in gene1ral education or basic liberal arts courses, which vary only slightly from one profession to another. Since such work is required for the professional teacher-preparation c urriculums , Peru offers a variety of courses that serve as pre-prof essional education, not only for prospective teachers, but also for prospective doctors, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, veterinarians, lawyers, engineers, agriculturists, foresters, morticians, business · executives, journalists, and others.

Purpose

Each year, many individuals , who are employed at some distance from th e College, h ave the time a nd inclination to do some college work •but cannot attend the regular classes on the campus. To these, the college offers two types of service: study center courses and co urses by correspondence.

Study center and correspo ndence courses have some adva ntag es over residence work and often are found to be satisfactory substitutes for it. Neverthel ess, it i.s considered advisable to take the major portion of any curriculum in residence. Therefore', the amount of , study center and correspondence credit that may be counted in meeting diploma or degree requirements is limited to one-fourth of the total requirement in each case, and not more than one-eighth may be ·correspondence credit.

Study-Center Regulations

Within the study-center program, a broad subject field is open to practicing teachers and others who wish to attend classes in their home co unties . Any non-l aboratory course desired by a group ot 15 students or mor e will be offered subject to the approval of the division giving the co u rse .a nd th e availability of an instructor. Regular !faculty members conduct the courses .

Study-center courses carry the same time and work requirements as classes held -on the ·ca mpus . Residence credit may be earned, if applied for at th e time of registration

A student may carry two study-center courses at one time, provided the total semester-hour lo ad is no more than six hours If the student's grades indic ate a scholarship . of "2" or below, however, he will be restricted to one study-center course and a maximum load of three semester hours

The fees charged for study-center courses are a course fee of $6.50 per credit hour and a book rental fee of $4.50 of which $2.50 is r ef unded upon the completion of the course. New students pay the usual matriculation fee of $5.00.

Arrangements are made for the organization of study-center class·es, and for meetin g places, through county superintendents or the Director of Special Services, Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru.

2. Registration. (a) Anyone may register for subjects numbered below 200. Those having some college work may register for courses below 300. Only college juniors and seniors should register for 300 or 400 courses (b) Register for only one course at a time. All fees must ·be paid before books and lessons will be sent . On . completion of one course, all books and materials must be returned before books and materials for a second course will be sent, or before a grade will be reported to the registrar's office. ,

3. Time. Unless otherwise stated, each course must be completed within one year from the date of registration. A student who does not complete his work in one year is dropped, and he must reregister in order to continue the course.

4. Credit. Eight written lessons are required for one semester hour of credit. A final examination will . be g.iven at the close of the course.

Correspondence Fees

When the work is completed and the books have been returned, the book deposit of $5.00 will be refunded.

POLICY FOR CORRESPONDENCE COURSE REFUNDS

1. If no lessons have been submitted by t he student, the extension division will retain fi v e dollars ($5.00) of the fees paid, regardless of the hours credit.
