AN INTRODUCTION TO PERU STATE COLLEGE

Peru State College was founded in 1867 as Nebraska's first college and was the third teacher education institution established west of the Missouri River. For more than a century, thousands of young people have crossed the Campus of a Thousand Oaks to become teachers and leaders in Nebraska and throughout the nation.

The people of Nebraska have made the facilities of the College available to students at a minimum of personal cost. The taxpayers of the state bear the major portion of the cost of educating the College's students.

Peru State admits all graduates of accredited Nebraska high schools and qualified out-of-state students. The philosophy of the College is that each person is entitled to the opportunity to succeed at the collegiate level. All who have the ability and the willingness to work will have an excellent chance to succeed at Peru State.

The College believes in academic excellence , in opportunities for personal growth, and in student self-determination consistent with the principles of a democratic society. Administrative intent is to involve students in the decisions which affect them. The College's educational experience is designed to enable students to learn, to equip themselves for meaningful careers, and to be productive members of society. Peru State students have the opportunity to know their instructors well and to be working partners with the staff and other students. Living and working with other people offers many opportunities for friendship , growth , and personal development.

The College's faculty and staff are here to serve you. We welcome the opportunity to assist you in realizing your personal, educational, and career objectives.

History

In 1867, the same year that Nebraska became a state , the new state's legislature established a training school for teachers at Peru. The school actually began on December 2, 1865 when its predecessor, Mount Vernon College, was organized by a group of early settlers who resolved to place the school under the "care and management of the Methodist Episcopal Church."

Colonel T.J. Majors, a leader during the Civil War and a state legislator , proposed that the school be made the state university. Although the offer was rejected, the state legislature on June 20, 1867, did accept the school as a "normal school" several months before the state university was established For the next 38 years, the Peru school was the only teacher education institution in the state.

As Nebraska's population increased, the legislature extended the normal schools from two-year to four-year and authorized them to grant the degrees of Bachelor of Arts in Education, Bachelor of Science in Education, and Bachelor of Fine Arts in Education. At the same time, the names of the schools were changed from State Normal Schools to State Teachers Colleges. In 1963, Peru's name was changed to Peru State College.

When the United States entered World War II , the College trained officers for the armed forces. The first unit of men in the Navy ' s V-12 program arrived on campus July 1, 1943 . During the time the nearly 500 trainees received their training, the College operated an accelerated program for both civilian students and naval trainee s . Since then , many of the trainees have used the hours of college credit they earned to complete their degrees at Peru State or other institutions of higher learning throughout the nation .

In 1949, the legislature authorized the Nebraska State Colleges to confer the Bachelor of Arts degree. The Bachelor of Science degree was authorized in 1965. Emerging from its role as a single-purpose teachers college, the College is now a regional state college offering a wide variety of programs to meet the changing needs of southeast Nebraska and beyond.

Individual development can be accomplished through formal study and exposure to a variety of experiences both on and off campus. It is the result of the reasonable mastery of knowledge, aquisition of certain skills and techniques, appreciation and understanding of areas beyond narrow personal interests, and meaningful religious and social experiences.

In the late summer, the Office of Residence Life publishes the Student Life Handbook as a guide to campus living . Included in the handbook is a calendar of events, various policies and procedures, and a statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities.

Counseling and Testing Services

During college, students sometimes feel the need to seek assistance in dealing with their problems whether they are person al , vocational, educational, or social.
