PRP 3222 - Undergraduate Degree Programs
Issued by: JoAnne S. Growney, Acting Provost and VPAA
Effective Date: June, 1984
1. The only undergraduate degree programs that may be offered by Bloomsburg University are those that have been approved by the external and internal program approval process (see 3230). The tabular listing below is the official listing of approved degree programs. Only those programs listed as active may have students admitted to them. Those listed as inactive are of three types: (a) those which have never been activated; (b) those which have been deactivated but have students still working in them; (c) those which have been deactivated and have no students working the them. In order to be reactivated, a program must go through the internal program approval process.
2. Unless indicated otherwise in the footnotes, the official external approval for degree programs listed is based on the omnibus list of programs at-tached to the letter from John C. Pittenger, Secretary of Education, to James H. McCormick, President of Bloomsburg State College, dated September 1, 1976.
3. The program nomenclature indicated below is the official Bloomsburg University nomenclature which must be used on the student's academic record and on all brochures, catalogues, and other materials. When abbreviations are developed, the official abbreviation of a nomenclature shall be indi-cated by underlining the letter not part of the abbreviation.
