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 phiosophy 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, 186 7, 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 th e normal schools from two-year to four-year and authorized them to grant the d egrees 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 pro gra m arrive on campus July 1, I 943. During the tim e the n ear ly 500 trainees receive d th e ir training , the College operated an accelerated program for both civilian students and naval trainees. Since then , many of the trainees have us e d 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 degr ee 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.

A maximum of 66 semester credit hours from a vocational / technical / community college may be applied toward a degree from Peru State.

Transfer students who already have a significant amount of credit toward their major will have their transcripts reviewed by the appropriate Division Chairperson, in consultation with the Vice President, to determine if a possible 6-15 credit hours of designated coursework in the major is required. Students who seek admission and are accepted while on probation from their last college are placed on probation for one semester and are subject to all the policies of probation at the College.

Students who have been suspended from another college will not be considered for admission until the period of suspension has expired and the facts of the dismissal are provided.

Students who discontinue their attendance at Peru State during a semester and then attend another college or university before seeking readmission are classified as transfer students.

Transfer students who have previously attended Peru State are classified as transfer students and not readmitted students.

Admission of Non-High School Graduates

Persons who are not high school graduates but who are prepared and recommended for college level work may be admitted as special students. An aptitude for college work and the G.E.D.

Each application must be accompanied by an official transcript of all previous college work. The credits earned at non-accredited institutions will be accepted provisionally and validated upon the satisfactory completion of 30 semester credit hours at Peru State. Satisfactory completion is defined as a cumulat ive grade point average of 2.00 or higher .

Mid-year Admissions

Students who complete high school at mid-year may enter Peru State at the beginning of the Spring semester. Transfer students will find the transition to Peru State at mid-year minimally disruptive to their educational plans.

Admission to Advanced Standing

Advanced standing is a status beyond the minimum for admission to the College. It is attained by presenting work completed at another college or by demonstrating proficiency in a field that removes certain prerequisites. The removal of prerequisites may be with or without credit.

Readmission to the College

All undergraduate students who have previously attended Peru State and were admitted to an academic program, students who withdrew during a semester or discontinued their studies for a semester or more (summer session excluded), and all post-graduates seeking an additional academic program must apply to the Office of Admissions for readmission.

Students who are academically suspended will not be considered for

readmission for two semesters (summer session excluded).

Previously suspended students who are readmitted will generally be subject tol_ permanent suspension if they are suspended a second time.

Students readmitted following academic suspension must maintain an average of 2.0 or higher for the re-entry term and for each successive term until the required cumulative grade poiift ) average of 2.0 has been achieved. Failure to meet the above conditions wilf result in academic suspension. A student who has been suspended twice is generally not considered for readmission.

Transfer students who have been previously suspended are subject to the same policies as readmitted students.

Readmitted students may continue with their previous academic program as outlined in the catalog current when they were first admitted, and provided they meet the provisions of the normal progress policy. Some additional requirements may be expected because of changes within programs. In addition, readmitted students should not expect to continue in a program that has been or is being phased out of the curriculum .

Readmitted students are subject to all college regulations and to any :;tdditional provisions as a condition of readmission.

Determining College Credit

Peru State credit is expressed as semester credit hours .
