AN INTRODUCTION TO PERU STATE COLLEGE

Peru State College was founded i n 1867 as Nebraska's first coll ege and was the third teacher ed ucation in stitution establ ished west o f the Missouri R iver. F or more than a century, thousands of young people have crossed the Campus of a Thousand Oaks to become teachers and l eaders in Nebraska and t hroughout t he nati on.

The people of Nebraska have made the faci l ities of the Co llege ava ilable to students at a minimum of perso nal cost. The taxpayers of the state bear th.e major portion of the cost of educating the College's students.

Peru State admits all graduates of accredited Nebraska h igh schools and qua l ified 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 w ho have the abiJjty and the willingness to work will hav e an excellent cha nce to s ucceed at Peru State.

The College believes in academic ex_cellence, in opportunities for personal growth, and in student self-determination consistent with the p rinciples of a democratic society. Administrative intent is to involve students in the decisions which affect them. The Colleges educationa l experience is designed to enable stude nts to learn, to equip themselves for meartingful careers, and to be productive members of society. Peru State s tudents have the opportunity to know their instructors well and to be working par tners with the staff and other students. Living and working with other people offers many opportunities for friendship, growth, and personal development.

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

H istory

fn 1867 , the same year that Nebraska became a s tate, th e new state's legislature established a training sc hool 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 unde r the "care and manage ment of the M e thodist Episcopal Church."

Colonel T.J . Majors , a leader during the Civil War and a state legislator, proposed that the school be made into a s tate university Although the offer was rejected, the state leg islature 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 sc hool was the only teacher education institution in the s tate.

A s Nebraska's population increased, the legjs lature extended the normal school s from two-year to four-year in stitutions and authorized them to grant the d egree s of Bacllelor o f Arts in Education, Bachelor of Science in Education, and Bache lor

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 was changed to Peru State College. When the United States entered World War 11, the College trained officers for the armed forces. The first of an eventual 500 men in tbe Navy's V-12 program arrived on campus July l, 1943. The College operated an accelerated program for both civilian students and naval trainees. In 1949., the legi slature a uthorized 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 si ngle- 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 whjcb, ifdeveloped, wi II benefit both the individual and the soc iety. 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 contribut ions of others. Individual development can be accomplish ed through formal study and exposure to a variety of experiences both on and off campus. It is the result of the reasonable mastery of k-nowledge, acquisition of certain skills and techniques, appreciati on and understanding of areas beyond narrow personal interests, and meaningful religious and soc ial experiences.

Mission

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

Students are encouraged to participate in a balanced program of co-curricular 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.

Developmental Stud ies

The Developmental Studies program is designed to assist students in reaching their educational objectives. The program is concentrated in three areas that most often impact student success: English composition, mathematics and reading.

Placement in D evelopme ntal Studies is through the Computer Placement Test (CPT) which is required of all students entering Peru State College with fewer than 30 hours of co llege work and ACT scores lower than 20 in readi ng, 21 io sentence compos ition and 21 in mathematics.

Tbe courses are taught through the u se ofcomputer-assisted instruction and through one-to-one interaction between the student and tbe instructor.

Studen ts must sign up for d evelopm ental courses based on the following criteria:

Reading - Students scoring below 65 on the reading comprehensio n portion of the CPT are required to enro ll in English 070 Reading l.

English Comp os ition - Students scoring below 75 on the sentence skill portion of the CPT are required to enroll in English 080 Compositio n.

Math - Studen t s scoring below 60 on either or both the arithmetic and e lementary algebra portions of the CPT are required to enroll in Math 080 Arithmetic.

Peru State College offers developmental reading (English 070 and 071), compositio n (English 080 and 08 I ), mathematics (Math 080 and 081 ). Students failing to pass the post-test of the first course in the sequence are r equir ed to register for the seco nd course. Pas sing of the post-test in En glish is a re.guirement for entry into the General Studies English curriculum. Passing the post-test in mathematics is a requirement for entry into the General Studies mathemati cs curriculum.

Students failing to pass the post-test in the English 08 1 or Math 081 will be counseled by the Vice President for Academic Affairs concerning their chances for academic success Upon lhe recommendation of the Vice President, the student may contjnue through independent study to pass the post-test. After the third opportunity, Peru State College will no longer be able to provide assi stance in the developmental studies area.

Early Entry_ In high schools where Peru State.h as a formal early entry agreement. the principal decides which students are qualified to take college courses. Other restrictio ns also apply; contact the Office of Continuing Education for details.

Any high school s tudent approved to regi ster for a coll ege credit course will have the appropriate information entered on a college transcript.

Extra-institutional. Students may earn college credit for experiences and accomplishments attained outside of the normal college setting. Credit may be g ranted through standardized examination programs or the cred it recommendation s of the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Ser vices and The Nationa l Gu ide to Educational Credit for Training Programs .

The College's genera l policy for awarding credit for extra-in stitutio nal learning is:

1. Only individuals who have not participated in similar scheduled coursework are e ligible to rece ive extra-institutional c redit.

2. Extra-institutional credits are considered transfer credits and are subj ect to the same policies as other transfer credits.

4. Creclit examinations may be earned only once in a single subject. A similar subject test in another testing program wi II not earn additional credits. High School. (See Early Entry.)

How to Determine Credit. P eru State credi t is exp ressed as semester credit hours . One credit hour is awarded to a s tudent who satisfactorily completes (I) a course that meets one hour per w eek for a semester, or (2) a laboratory that m eet s for two hours per week for a se meste r, or ( 3) a laboratory that meets for three hours per week for a semester, or any combination of these depending upon the type of instruct ion and material covered in the course, Credit for internships, st udent teaching, and other instrnctional formats is determined us ing other appropriate standards.

Incomplete Coursework . To designate a student's work in a course as incomplete at the end of a term, instructors record the in comp lete grade (I). Students may receive this grade only when serious illness, hardship, death in the immediate fami l y, or military service during the semester in which they are registered prevents them from completing course requirements. In addition, to receive an incomplet e, a student must have completed a majority of the course's major requirements.

Unless extenuating circumstan ces dictate otherwise, student<; must initiate requests for an incomplete by filling out an Incomplete Grade Completion Contract, which requires the student and faculty signature.

The I ncomplete Grade Completion Cont ract cites the reason(s) for the incomplete and details the specific obl igations the student must meet to change the incomplete to a letter grade. If students agree to comp lete req uj red work prior to the normal deadline for making up an incomplete - the end of the subseque nt semesterthis date must appear in the contract. The division chair, the instructor, and the s tudent receive signed copies of the Incomplete Grade Completion Contract.

Even if the student does not attend Peru State Co llege, all incomplete course work must be finished by the end of the subsequent semester. Unless Facu l ty Se nate approves an extensi on, if the student does not fulfill contract obligations i n the allotted time, the incomplete grade automatically becomes an P.

Students who have filed an application for graduation are not eligible for a grade of Incomp lete.

Institutional Exami nations. Studerits, due to exper ience and/or personal improve~ ment, may qualify for credit in lower division cour ses through the procedu re of an interview and a written examination provided the examination is made avai lable by the respect i ve academic d i visions TI1e stu dent must, through an interview, satisfy a faculty committee that he/she has had a •fom1al or i nformal experience in which the course content may have been met before the student will be given a written comprehensive examination.

The amount of credit to be allowed, the course for which substitution, if any, is made, and the particular graduation requirements wrucb may be satisfied, will be determined by the chair of the djvision and will be snbjectto all general graduation requirements. The student must register for the course and pay the tu it ion charges before writing the examinations. The letter grade received is recorded on the student's transcript. This process is also known as "Course Challenge."

PEP. (See Standardized Exam inations.)

Repeat Courses. Students may and are urged to repeat courses in which they have performed poorly. The initial course t itle aod grade are not removed from the student's permanen t record. The higher grade is used to determine the new grade point average. There may also be occasions when students repeat a course for review o n an auilit basis without a c h ange of grade.

It is the student's respo nsibility to report all repeated courses when registering for cou rses. Tuition an d fees are paid for repeated courses, but additional credit hours are not earned.

Standardized Examination. Students may earn credit through several standardized examination programs. Credi ts earned from the CLEP subject exam on ly

(College Level Examination Program) , DANTES (Defense Activity Nontraditional Education Support), PEP (Proficiency Examination Program), and APP (Advanced Placement Program) can satisfy certain Peru State degree req uirements. Students should contact the Offi ce of Cooperative Education and Career Services for specific information abo ut the College's regulations and procedures for the standardized CLEP examinations. The 66 hour maximum for extra in stitutional credit includes standardized examinations.

Transfer. Peru State College accepts credit hours successfuJly completed at other accredited colleges and universities, provided they are reported on the official transcript of each previously attended institution and in credit hours. This policy also applies to Peru State College students who earn credits on an interim basis at another college, provided they have the prior approval of the appropriate Division Chairperson/Registrar. Tbe required forms for reporting transfer credits are available at the Registrar's Office.

Variable Credit Courses, The c redit hours to be earned and th e coursework to be completed are determined at the time of registration. Students do not have the option of reducing or increasing credi t hours or coursework after the free add/drop period at the beginning of the term

Academic Dishonesty

Academic integrity is a basic principle that requires the student to take cred it only for ideas and effo rts that are b.is/her own. Cheating is defined as the s ubmi ss io n of materials in assignments, exams, or other academic work that is based on sources pmbibited by the faculty member. Cheating s hall include, but is not limited to, situations in which a student:

I . Refers during an academic evaluation to material sources not au thori zed by the faculty member.

2. Utilizes devices during an academic evaluation that are not authorized by the faculty member.

3. Provides assistance to another student o r receives assistance from another student during an academic evaluation in a manner not authorized by th e faculty member.

4. Presents as his/her own the ideas or words of another person without customary and proper acknowledgment of sources.

5. Knowingly permits hi s/her words to be submhted by another person without the faculty member's permission.

6 Acts as a substitute or utilizes a substitute in any academic eval u ation.

7. Fabricates data in suppo rt of laboratory or field work.

8. Possesses, buys, sells, obtains, or uses a copy of any materials intended to be used as a n instrument of academic evaluation in advance of its administration.

9. Alters grade records of hi s/her ow n o r another student work in a course o r a component of a course.

I n addition to any adverse academic action tbat may result from engaging in academically disho nest behavior, the College specificall y reserves the right to address a nd sa nction the cond uct invol ved through the disciplinary procedures outlined in this catalog. Academic actions are reviewable under the Academic. Appeals Policy contained in this cata log .

Assessment

All Peru State studen ts participate in outcomes assessment activities that determine whether specific learn ing goals have been achieved.

To assess whether students have met general education goals, the college compiles portfolios compri sed of pi eces of significant work from each General Studies course taken during t he student's freshman and sophomore years. During the second semester of the sophomore year, a faculty team evaluates the portfolio and meets with the student to discuss the student's progress toward general education goals and , if necessary, the need for remediation. Students with 45 or more hours must complete their portfolio evaluation meeting before p reregistering for the next semester's coursework.

To assess whe the r senior stude nt s have mastered the content, methodology, and liberal arts base of their discipline, each g raduatin g senior must successfully complete the discipline's senior competency. Senior competencies for each maj or are noted in the major's section of the catalog and below :

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-numbered years a sample of currently enrolled students compl ete a questionnaire about their experiences with faculty , staff, curricul a, services, and programs; during the spring of even-numbered education years a sample of alumni are surveyed about their experiences whil e enrolled a t Peru State.

The results of all assessment activities are di stributed to appropriate personnel and governance units for recommendations about program and service improvemen t.

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 res ponsibifay represented by not only the student's investment, but also by a significant 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 students to mak e up and complete work missed during the absence.

lnstructors 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 both studen ts and their division chair during the first week of the semester.

Whenever absences or oth er elements of scholastic attitude become detrimental (regardless of cause) to the student's standing in class and/or the success of the class as a whole, the instructor may confer with the student. The instructor and the student may mutually agree that the registration in the co urse sho uld be withdrawn, or the instructor may issue the student a • 'scholastic alert.' ' Future conferences for the same or related reasons may result in the instructor withdrawing the student from the class. lf the student requeSts, the Vice Presiden t 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 last date to withdraw with a W. An F will be recorded after this date.

Students who elect to 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 at the time they were admitted to the College to pursue a degree program. A change in major may also require additional classes and delay the graduation date.

01ange in Registration-Drop/Add

Students are allowed to drop/add until the published final date. Their cou rse registratio ns are then final.

Students are responsible for the accuracy of each registration and are ultimately respons ibl e for meeting all degree requirements.

PRE-LAW STUDY

The term Pre-Law refers to a student's intention to pursu e advanced studies at a law school, not to any prescribed major or curriculum. Adequate preparations for entrance into a ranking Jaw school requires a bachelor's degree. Neither tbe committee on pre-law education of the American Bar Association nor leading law schools spec ify a particular undergraduate major or prescribe a specific pre-law program, but tbey do stress the ability to read perceptively, to write intelligently, to use a Library, and to eval uate evidence. Success in law school requires inte llectual depth and breadth as we ll as certain s kills and insights relevant to law study. Since many of the goals of legal ed ucation are also the goals of liberal education, law schools recommend that pre-Jaw students obtain the widest possible undergraduate experience consistent with their professional objectives. Literate, well-informed students with broad general educations te nd to succeed in law school. Those students aspiring to enter law school , then, may major a nd/or minor in any number of fields that will aid them in attaining the following:

* Compositional skiJls and oral prese ntatio ns skills.

* A broad unders tanding of the English language.

* A solid background of American history and govern me nt.

* A broad knowledge of society and its institutions.

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

* Critical thinking and the ability to reason.

The undergraduate curricula of Peru State College provide a sound found ation fo r 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 adv isor of this fact early in t heir undergraduate years in order for the st udents and the advisor to make important dec isions regarding the selection of courses. Pre-Jaw advising is h ighly individualized. It 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 criteria. Other factors generally considered by law schools include campus and community involvement, work experience, and letrers of recommendation. The PSC undergraduate experience provides an excellent opportunity to demonstrate s t rength in thes e additional areas.
