GENERAL INFORMATION

HISTORY

In 1867, the year Nebraska became a state, the state l egislature provided for the establishment oj a training school for teachers, or "normal school," in Peru. At that tim e , only two other such institutions existed west of th e 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 increas e d, how eve r, the legislature provided for three others-on e at Kearn ey in 19 05, one at Wayne in 1910., and on e at Chadron in 1911. In 1921, the legislat ure extended the curriculum off e red in th e normal schools from two years to four years and authorized th ese institutions to grant b accalaureate degrees which might be either the Bachelor of Arts D egree in Education, the Bachelor of Science D eg re e in Education. or the Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Education. Finally, the 1949 Legislature authorized the addition of a liberal arts curriculum to the program of these teacher trainin g institutions and the privilege of granting the Bachelor of Arts Degree. At the same time the titles of the four institutions w e r e changed from State Normal Schools to State T eac hers Coll eges.

PURPOSES

The primary purposes of the co ll ege are to provide:

(1) a gene ral e duca t ion for a ll students to insure acquaintance with the field s of lmowledge which shou l d . be the common possession of e duc ated persons as citizens in a free d e mocratic society, •

( 2) the broad professional education necessary in • the training of teachers for se rvic e in the public e l ementary and secondary schoo l s of Nebraska,

( 3) basic pr epa r a tion r e quir e d for admission to prof ess ional sc hools including law , medicine, engineering, d e ntistry, theo logy , nursing, pharmacy, journalism, forestry, veterinary s ci e nce , and social service '

( 4) terminal vocational education for tho se who wish to enter business or industry in occupations requiring l ess than a college degree.

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION CURRICULUMS

Th e instr uctional program of the college consists of seven interrelated divisional programs-Educational, Fine Arts, H ealth and Physica1 Education, Language Arts, Practical Arts, Scie nce 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 serve d consist of providing, for those who do not wi sh to prepare for teaching, a general lib eral e du cation, pre-professional education, or junior terminal vocational e d ucaticin. ·

To serve the above purposes most ec onomically; the courses offered in the several college divisions a r e organized in to curriculums, the term applied to a group of cours es designed for one individu al, or for a gro up of individuals having a common p urpos e. The curriculums offered by the coll ege include four year professional curriculums in elementary ed ucation and secondary education; a four-y ea r lib eral arts curriculum flexible enough to satisfy a variety of interests; and a number of two-year and on eyear terminal vocation curriculums and pre-professional curriculums, including two-year curriculums in e lem entary ed ucation and a one-year curriculum in rural education To meet an emergency situation, the college offers, also, a tw e lve-w eek curriculum · (summ er term only) in rural e ducation.

SELECTION OF A CURRICULUM

In general , the various cun'iculums offered by the colleg e consist partly of general e ducation courses and partly of sp e cialized courses. Th e gene ral ed ucati on courses are those thought to b e needed by all individuals for effective livin g, regardless of their occupations. The specializ ed courses are those t h at prepare specifically for particular teaching positions or other occupations, or satisfy specia l avocational or cultural interests.

At ent r ance, eac h st ud ent niust choose a n occupational obj ective or a field of principal cultural ' in terest. This determines the curriculum that he will follow and the • counselor who will guide him in his ed uc atio nal expe ri ences. The choice may b e tentative and may be changed later, tho u gh this may r es ult in some lo ss of credit.

DEGREE MAJORS OR MINORS

In the degre e curriculums. a d e finite program of ge neral e ducation is r eq uired of a ll students. ( See page 3 8). However, while some variation i s permitted in the general courses, the diff erent iation ne ede d to care for differences in professional or cultural objectives is provided chiefly b y 1p.eans of major and minor course sequences. ' ·

In the case of the professional 'curriculums l ead ing to degrees in educati on in secondary school teac hing, each student must com-

The two exception·s to this regulation are the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Education D eg ree for which no minor is required; and the A.B. in Education Degree with a major in Music for which only one minor is required It is hoped that students will prepare themselves in as many t e aching minors as they will lik ely be called upon to teach in a typical position in a Ne braska high school. In the curriculums that prepare for e l ementary t e aching the students must earn a major in e le m e ntary education and a minimum of 12 hours in each of four a cademic fields in which they will be teaching.

In curriculums leading to the liberal arts degree (A.B.), a m a jor and two minors or two majors are required. A major must include at least 24 semester hours of work and a minor, 15 semest e r hours ,/

In general, credits transferred from a·nother college may be used to meet major and minor requirements, provided : ( 1) at l east one course in each major or minor is earned in this ~ol" lege , and ( 2) all transferred credits are approved by head · of the sponsorin g division.

Specific major and minor requirements are given in the seve ral divisional progra ms. The number of hours required for th e majors and minors in , the various programs are list e d below.

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

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 the professional teacherpreparation 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, engineers, 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-making may take the first two years of training at Peru and finish at the University of Nebraska. The vocattonal agriculture curriculum is outlined in the program of the Science and Mathematics Division; that in vocational homemaking in the program of the Pra <!tical Arts Division.

JUNIOR TERMINAL OR VOCATIONAL CURRICULUMS

Many students are unable to attend college four years or mo1'e and wish to prepare for an occupation that requires less time in prepai'ation 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.

Since there is a demand for teachers in Nebraska with less than a professional education, three junior terminal teacher-preparation curriculums have been organized to meet this - i1e ed. The three curriculums are outlined in detail _in the program of the Education Division and are as follows:

Two-year Curriculum in Elementary Education

One-Year Curriculum in Rural Education

Twelve-Week Curriculum in Rural Education

Presented in the program of the Practical Arts Division are the following curriculums:

Twci-Year Curriculum in Home Making

Two-Year Specialized • Curriculum in Ind us trial Arts

One-Year Cun'iculum in Clerical Training

PROGRA~ OF 1NSTRUCTION

MODERN LANGUAGES

Although foreign language is not prescribed as a requirem'ent in the ea rning of a degree in education, students who are anticipating a dvanc ed professional and g raduate study should consider their own needs. Law, medicine, engineering, e tc. , require foreign languages and most graduate schools r eq uire one or rriore languages for graduation . Students are encouraged to take these c o urs es as undergraduat es Students preparin g to work in some other country should take the language of that country. Through th e reading of choice lit e rary work in their original language a greater int e rest in the people who use these· languages is stimulat ed and bette r underst a nding is created. The existence of the United Nations makes this last point a necessary consideration.

STUDY -CENTER AND CORRESPONDENCE COURSES Purpose

Each year, many iiidividuals, who· are employed at some distance from the College, have the time and inclination to do some college work but cannot attend the regular classes on the campu·s. To these, the · college offers two types of service: study center courses and courses by correspondence.

Study center and correspondence courses have some advantages over residence work and often are found to be satisfactory substitutes for it. Nevertheless, it- is 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 dip lom a 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 fie ld is , open to practicing teachers and others who wish to attend classes in their home counties. Any non-laboratory course desired by a group of 15 st ud ents or more will be offered subject to the approval of the division giving the course and the availability of an instructor. Regular faculty members conduct the cours es.

Study-center courses carry the same time and work requirements as classes held on the campus. Residence credit is earned for this work.

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 indicate a scho larship of "2" or below, however, he will be restricted to one study-c enter 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 $ 2.5'0 is refunded upon the completion of the course. New students pay the u s u a l matriculation fee of $5.00.

Arrangements are made for the organization of study-center classes, and for meeting places through county superintendents or · Mr. C. E. Wilkinson, Nebraska State T eachers College, at Peru.

Correspondence Regulations

1. Admission. Correspondence study is open to those who meet the college entrance requirements. Correspondence work may not be taken when a student is in resident attendance

(c) All fees must be paid before books and lessons will be sent. ( d )' On completion of each course, all books and .materials must be returned before a grade will be recorded in the Registrar's Office.

3. Time. Unless otherwise stated, each course must be compieted within one year from the date of registration. A student who does not complete his work in one year may . with permission of the Director and upon payment of a one dollar fee, continu e with the c0rirse for not more than thirty days after the one-yea-r limit.

4. Lessons. Each correspondence course consists of e i ght written lessons per credit hour Envelopes will be f urnish ed for each course for submitting lessons to the Director of Extension.

The high school principal, superintendent, or county superintendent, will be acceptable to the college as a proctor.
