PERU STATE COLLEGE

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 lipportunities for friendship, growth, and personal development.

J"he College's faculty and staff are here to serve you. We welcome the opportunity to assist you in realizing your personal, educational, and career , 1 bjectives.

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 into a 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 a two-year to a four-year institution 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 name of the school was changed from State Normal School to State Teachers College. In 1963, Peru's name ~as 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 l, 1943. During that time nearly 500 servicemen received their training, the College operated an accelerated program for both civilian students and naval trainees. 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.

Philosophy

Peru State College is committed to the belief that all persons are endowed with potential which, if developed, will benefit both the individual and the society. Each person, who is exposed to the influences of the College, is encouraged to develop his or her potential as well as understand and appreciate the contributions of others.

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, acquisition of certain skills and techniques, appreciation and understanding of areas beyond narrow personal interests, and meaningful religious and social experiences.

Pre-Legal Study

Adequate preparation for entrance into a ranking law school requires a bachelor's degree. Although law schools require a bachelor's degree for admission, neither the committee on pre-legal education of the American Bar Assoc iation nor leading law schools specify a particular undergraduate major or prescribe a specific pre-law program, but they do stress the ability to read perceptively, to write intelligently, to use a library, and to evaluate evidence.

Success in law school requires intellectual depth and breadth as well as certain skills and insights relevant to law study. Since many of the goals of legal education are also the goals of liberal education, law schools recommend that pre-law students obtain the widest possible undergraduate experience consistent with their professional objectives. Literate, well-informed students with broad general educations tend to succeed in law school. Those students aspiring to enter law school , then, may major and / or minor in any number of fields t hat will aid them in attaining the following skills:

1. Skill and fluency in writing

2. Skill and fluency in oral communication

3. A broad understanding of the English language, or others, that will demonstrate the ability to comprehend or express in words

4. The ability to read difficult material with rapidity and comprehension

5. A solid background of American history and government

6. A broad, basic education in social and cultural areas, including a broad knowledge of society and its institutions

7. Critical understanding of business, including basic accounting procedures

8. A fundamental understanding of business, including basic accounting skills

9. Creative power in thinking, including skill in analysis of evidence and the ability to reason logically

The undergraduate curricula of Peru State, College provides a sound foundation for pre-law study and offer students an opportunity to challenge and expand their capacities to the fullest . Students planning a legal career should inform their academic advisor of this fact early in their undergraduate years in order for the students and the advisor to make important decisions regarding the selection of courses. During the senior year the student will need to register for the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). Acceptance into law school will depend upon many factors, of which scores on the LSA T and grade point average are usually but partial criteria.
