PERU STATE COLLEGE

AN INlRODUCTION 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 R iver. 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.

P eru 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 P eru 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 d ecisions 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 fo r friendship, growth, and personal development.

The College's facu lty an d staff are here to serve you. We welcome the opportunity to assist you in realizing your per sonal, educational, and career objectives.

History

In 1867, the same year that Nebraska became a state, the new state's leg.islature established a training school for teacher s at Peru. The school actually began on December 2, 1865, when its predecessor, Mount Vernon Colleget 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 Civi l Wat 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 mon t hs 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, P eru'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 that time nearly 500 servicemen received their training. The College operated an accelerate d program for both civilian students and naval trainees. Since th en, many of the trainees have used the hours of college credit they earned to complete their degrees at P eru State or other institutions of higher learning throughout t h e 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 resu lt of the reasonable mastery of knowledge, acquisition of certain skills and techniques, appreciation and understanding of areas beyond narrow persona l interests, and meaningful religious and social experiences.

Mission

Peru State College is a multi-purpose, state-assisted, regional institution offering a variety of educational opportunities to th.e students of Nebraska and the nation.

Students are encouraged to participate in a balanced program of co-curricu lar activities. These group or individual activities include cultural, social, and physical pursuits which augment or support the instructional program, sustain tradition, and strengthen the college community.

Pre-Legal Study

Adequate preparation for entrance into a ranking law school requires a bachelor's degree. Neither the committee on pre-legal education of the American Bar Association nor leading law schools specify a particul a r un ~ dergra duate 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 a s 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, wellinformed students with broad general educations tend to succeed in Jaw school. Those students aspiring to enter Jaw school, then , may major and/ or mi.nor in any number of fields that will aid them fo attaining the followin g :

" Skills in writing and oral communication.

* A broad understanding of the English language.

* A solid background of American history and government.

* A broad knowledge of society and its i nstitutions.

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

* Critical thinking and the ability to reason.

The undergraduate cutticula 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 p lanning 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 tbe selection of courses. During the senior y.e ar 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 LSAT and grade point average are usually but partial criteria.
