AN INTRODUCTION TO PERU STATE COLLEGE

Peru State College was founded in 1867 as Nebraska's first college and was the third teacher education ins titution established west of th e Mi ssouri River. For more than a century, thousands of young people have c rossed the Campus of a Thousand Oaks to become teachers and leaders i n Nebraska and throughout lhe nation.

The people of Nebraska have made the facilities of the College available to s tudents at a minimum of personal cost. The taxpayers of the sta te bear the maj or portion of the cost of educating the College's s tudents.

Peru State admits all graduates of accredited Nebraska high schools and qualified out-of-state students. The philosop hy of the College i s 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 s uccee d at Peru State.

The College believes in academic excellence, in opportunities for personal g rowth, and in student self- d e termination consistent with the principles of a democratic society. Administrative intent is to involve students in the decisions wh ich affect them. The College's educational experience is designed to enabl e s tude nts to learn, to equip themse l ves for meaningful careers, and to be productive members of society. Peru State s tuden ts 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 oppo1tunities for friend ship, growth, and personal developme nt.

The CoUege' s faculty and staff are here to serve you. We welcome the opportunily to assist you in real izing your personal, educa tional, and career objectives.

History

In 1867, the same year that Nebraska became a state, the new state's legi slature establi shed a train ing school fo r 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 Episcopa.l Church.''

Colonel T.J. Majors, a leader during the Civil War and a state legi s lator, proposed that the school be made into a state universi ty . Although the offe r was rejected, the s tate legislature o n J une 20, 1867 did accept the schoo l as a "nmmal sc hool" several months before the state university was established. For the next 38 years , the Peru schoo l was the o nly teach er educa tion instilution in the statt:.

As Nebraska 's population increased, the legislature exte nded the normal schools from two-year to four-year ins titution s and authoril.ed them to grant the degrees of Bachelor of Arts in Education, Bachelor of Scie nce in Edu ca tion, and Bachelor

of Fine Arts in Education. A t the same time, the name of the school was changed from State Normal School to State Teachers College. fn 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 of an eventual 500 men in the Navy's V-12 program arrived on camp us July I, 1943. The College operated an accelerated program for both civil ian students and naval trainees. ln 1949, the legis lature authorized the Nebraska State College.,; to confer the Bachelor of Arts degree. The Bachelor of Science deg ree was authorized in 1965. Emerging from its role as a single-pwpose teachers college, the College is now a regional state college offering a wide variety of programs to meet the changing needs ofsoutheast 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 in dividual 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 campu s. It is the result of the reasonabl e mastery of knowledge, acquisition of certain skills and techniques, appreciation and understanding of areas beyond narrow personal interests, and meaningful religious and social experiences.

SPCH 450, Senior Project

To assess student attitudes about the College experience, each graduating senior participates in a personal exit interview conducted by Peru State faculty and staff. Also , during the spring of odd-nu mbered years, a sample of currently enrolled students complete a questionnaire about their experiences with faculty, staff, curricula, services, and programs; d urin g the spring of even-nurobered education years, a samp le of al umni are surveyed about thei.r experiences while enrolled at Peru State.

The results of all assessment activities are distributed to appropriate personnel and governance units for recommendations about program and service improvement.

Attendance and Scholastic Attitude

Students are expected to attend classes regularly, to arrive punctually, and to complete all assigned work. Attendance is a privilege and a responsibility represented by not only the student's investment, but also by a s ignificant investment by the State of Nebraska.

When it is necessary for students to miss class, they have the responsibility to notify their instructor in advance whenever possible. Faculty members have the prerogative of allowing s tudents to make up and complete work missed during the absence.

Instructors have the right to base a portion of a student ' s grade on attendance. They must present their grading practices and attendance policies in writing to botb s tudent s and their division chair duri ng the first week of the semester.

Whenever absences or other elements of scholastic attitude become detrimental (regardless of cause) to the student's staniling in class and/or the success of the class as a whol e, the instructor may confer with the s tudent. The instru ctor and the student may mutually agree that the registration in the course should be withdrawn, or the instructor may issue the student a scholastic alert. Future conferences for the same or related reasons m ay result in the i nstructor withdrawing the student from the class. ff the student requests, the Vice President for Academic Affairs may be asked to participate in the decision. The grade will be a W if the course withdrawal is prior to the l ast date to withdraw with a W. An F will be reco rded after this date.

Change of Advisor

Students who want to change advisors may obtain a Change of Advisor form from their division office or the Registrar's Office. Change of advisor is not official and complete until the previous advisor, the new adv isor's chair, and the new advisor's signatures are obtained. The previous division's office is responsible for tran sfer of student files to the new advisor.

Change of Major

Students who want to change their majo r or undeclared status complete the C hange of Major form available from their division office or at the Registrar' s Offi ce.

Students who elect t o change their major may have to follow the requirements in the College catalog current at the time of change, rather than the one in effect al the time they were admitted to the Co llege to pursue a degree program. A change in major may also require additional classes and delay the graduation date.

Change in Registration - Drop/Add

Students are allowed to drop/add until the published final date. Their course registrations are the n final.

Students are responsible for the accuracy of each registration and are ultimately responsible for meeting aU degree requirements.

A c hang e in registration is processed at the R egistrar's Office. No full sem ester cou rses may be added after the published final date to add courses. When applicable, tuition charges wHI be adjusted for changes initiated during the official add/ drop period only.

Classification of Students

Students are classified according to the number of semester credit hours earned:

Post-graduate students have earned a bachel or's degree or higher and are earning additional undergraduate credit.

Non-degree students are qualified persons who are enrolled primarily to satisfy an occupati o nal need or personal interest.

Dead Week

Dead Week is the week prior to finals week and no exams are to be gjven during that week. Exceptions to this policy may be granted only by the Vice Pre sident for Academic Affairs.

Final Exams

Final exams are scheduled the last week of the semester. Coac hes of varsity athletic teams are not to schedule regu lar games or events during this week. However, they may enter their teams in NAIA approved play-offs in which the College has declared an intention to participate if qualified. Students who pm1icipate in playoff events during finals week are still subject to the attendance policies of their instructors ,

F ull -Time Student Status

Peru State students who are enrolled for 12 credit hours or more during a semester are considered full-time students. However, the normal course load for a student who expects to complete a bachelor's degree within eight (8) semesters (four years) is 15-16 hours. The maximum load without special permission is 17 hours; more than 17 hours requires the approval of the chair of the division in which the student is majoring. The Registrar may approve 18 credit hours provided the student obtained a minimum 3.5 grade point average the previous semester. The maximum credit hour load is 2 1. Class withdrawals subsequent to the add/drop period are included in the credit hour load.

Veterans and other eligible persons attending Peru State under the benefits of Chapter 34 and 35, Title 38, U .S.C., as full-time students must be enrolled for at least 12 semester hours, or the equivalent.

Courses at Offutt Air Base and Southeast Community College are scheduled on an eight-week cycle.

For each eight-week session when students are not registered for student teaching, they may register for a maximum of 12 semester credit hours with Peru State. The 12 hours include any independent or directed study courses.

For the eight-week session when students are regis tered for student teaching, they may register for a maximum of 11 hours with Peru State. The I 1 hours include any independent study courses.

Grading System

CR and NCR do not affect grade point average; CR is applicable to graduation hours.

I (Incomplete) work must be completed within the next semester or the record will show an F. Work is to be completed whether the student is in attendance or not. Students who have filed an application for graduation are not eligible for a grade of Incomplete.

Graduation Honors

SPEECH AND DRAMA MAJOR

The term Pre-Law refers to a student's intention to pursue advanced studies at a law school., not to any prescribed major or cunicul urn . Adequate preparations for entrance into a ranking law school require s a bachelor's degree. Neither the committee on pre-law education of the American Bar Association nor leading Jaw schools specify a particular undergrad uate major or prescribe a spec ific pre-Jaw 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 skill s 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 poss ible undergraduate experience consistent with their profess ional objectives. Literate, well-infonned students with broad general educations t end to succeed in Jaw school. Those students aspiring to e nter law school , then, may major and/or minor in any number of fields that will aid them in a ttainjng the following:

* Compositional ski ll s and oral presentations skills

* A broad understanding of the English language.

* A solid background of American history and government.

* A broad knowledge of society and its institutions.

* A fundamental understandi ng of bu si ness, including basic accounting skills.

* Critical thinking and the abi lity to reason.

The undergraduate curricula of Peru State Co1Jege 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 in form their academic advisor of this fact early in their undergraduate years in order fo r the students and the advisor to make important decisions regartling the selection of courses. Pre-law advising is highly indi viduali zed. lt is determined by the major

the student has selected and the unique goals of each student. 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 LSAT and grade point average are usually but partial criter ia. Other factors generally considered by law schools include campus and comm.unity involvement, work experience, and letters of recommendations. The PSC undergraduate ex.perience provides an excellent opportunity to demonstrate strength in these additional areas.
