*At West Chester State College, the Master's Degree is required for those seeking certification in Counselor Education.
•Certification only ^
Objectives: West Chester is committed to broadening the scholarship of the gradu-
ate student and the professional skills of the educator while arousing all students
to the challenge of research.
THE GRADUATE STUDIES PROGRAM at West Chester has grown remarkably
since its introduction in 1959 About 1,600 students now attend during the fall
and spring semesters; some 3,000 enroll for its summer sessions. West Chester
State College's graduate program is the largest within the 14 Commonwealth-
owned institutions of higher learning.
The college began as the West Chester Academy in 1812 and functioned as a
normal school from 1871-1927. Since it became a four-year college in 1927, West
Chester has developed steadily and is now one of the major comprehensive col-
leges in the vicinity of Philadelphia
Its facilities for graduate education are excellent thanks to the Common-
wealth's building program begun in the 1950's and still underway Examples are
the Schmucker Science Center, a block-long complex of buildings including a
planetarium, astronomical observatory, television studio, and modern laborator-
ies; Elsie O. Bull Learning and Research Center; the Health and Physical Educa-
tion Center, one of the nation's outstanding research facilities in the field; and
the Francis Harvey Green Library, which is one of Pennsylvania's principal col-
lege libraries
The college offers the Master of Arts, the Master of Education, the Master of
Music, and the Master of Science degrees m nearly forty disciplines or areas of
study. (See the chart facing this page.)
Many of the new master's degree programs such as the MA in Speech Pathol-
ogy, the M.S. in Criminal Justice and the computer science option in the MA. in
Mathematics have been designed to meet the particular needs of the times and
the area
Along with its degree and certification programs, West Chester offers non-de-
gree study in a number of areas including art, economics, nursmg, linguistics,
speech communication, theatre arts, special education, and urban education
For the benefit of in-service teachers and employed persons. West Chester
schedules its graduate classes during late afternoons and evenings during the fall
and spring semesters and during the first of the three summer sessions.
Graduate Summer Sessions
The 12-week summer sessions are divided into three periods: the Pre-Session of
three weeks, the Regular Session of six weeks, and the Post Session of three
weeks All Pre-Session classes meet in the evenings; almost all classes for the
other two sessions meet during the daytime (To apply, see Admissions) — Admis-
sion to summer session courses does not constitute admission to a degree pro-
gram.

6/Graduate Studies at West Chester
The Campus
The college occupies 551 acres in the beautiful rolling countryside of Chester
County. The main campus of the college occupies 94 acres within the Borough of
West Chester; south campus is located on a 291-acre tract in adjacent townships.
In 1977 the college acquired Welkinweir, an estate consisting of 166 acres lo-
cated 17 miles north of the main campus.
The Borough of West Chester has been the seat of government in Chester
County since 1786. With a population of about 20,000, the Borough proper is
small enough to have the pleasant aspects of a tree-shaded American town, large
enough to provide essential services and the substance of a vigorous community,
and old enough to give the student first-hand touch with America's early history.
The heart of West Chester is its courthouse, a Classical Revival building de-
signed in the 1840's by Thomas U. Walter, one of the architects for the Capitol in
Washington, DC. The town was settled in the early eighteenth century prin-
cipally by members of the Society of Friends; charming traces of their culture re-
main in the community.
West Chester today is part of the rapidly growing suburban complex surround-
ing Philadelphia and offers interesting opportunities for the study of local, coun-
ty, and regional government in a period of change and growth.
Philadelphia is 25 miles to the east and Wilmington 1 5 miles to the south of the
campus. Thus the libraries, museums, and other cultural and historical resources
of both cities are within easy reach. Valley Forge, the Brandywine Battlefield,
Longwood Gardens, and other historical attractions are near West Chester
Welkinweir
West Chester's most recent land acquisition is Welkinweir, the 166-acre, northern
Chester County estate which was presented to the college as a gift by Mr and
Mrs Everett G Rodebaugh.
The stone mansion at Welkinweir dates back to 1750 with an 1800 addition as
well as a wing added in 1940 Filled with a remarkable collection of historically
valuable books, antiques and objets d'art, the residence is now used for concerts,
seminars and conferences.
Highlights from among the contents include numerous authenticated Chester
County pieces of furniture, an EM. Skinner Automatic Pipe Organ (one of only
five still in existence in working order in the country), a Mason & Hamlin Piano,
antique clocks, an English silver collection, and a variety of oriental rugs
The Welkinweir's grounds contain a six-acre, man-made lake and seven ponds;
lawns, forested areas, and unusual plantings Access to the Appalachian Trail can
be made from the Horseshoe Trail which passes through the property.

Directory information
West Chester State College has, in the past, made public certain kinds of in-
formation about students, such as the names of those who receive scholarships,
who hold offices, or who are members of athletic teams. Various kinds of campus
directories are published throughout the year to help members of the college
community locate and communicate with each other. The commencement pro-
grams publish the names of those who have received degrees during the year.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act defines the term "directory in-
formation" to include the following categories of information: the student's
name, addresses, telephone numbers, date and place of birth, major field of
study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and
height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards re-
ceived, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended
by the student. The college will limit information which is made public to
categories such as these but will not necessarily publish all such information in
every listing.
Students who do not wish to have any or all of such "directory information"
published without their prior consent must file notice — undergraduate in the
Office of the Registrar and graduate students in the Office of Graduate Studies.
Academic Information/27
A signed, dated statement specifying items not to be published must be brought
by the student to the appropriate office within the first fifteen calendar days
after the beginning of the fall semester.

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN CHEMISTRY
Admission Requirements
In addition to meeting the general requirements for a degree program at West
Chester, applicants must present an undergraduate background including mathe-
matics through calculus, one semester of analytical chemistry, and full-year
courses in organic chemistry and physical chemistry.
Degree Requirements
1. Before admission to degree candidacy, each student is required to take four
out of five qualifying examinations in the major areas of chemistry (inorganic, or-
ganic, analytical, physical, and biochemistry). The four areas are to be selected
by the student. At least three of these examinations must be passed. If necessary,
they may be retaken once. The student may be required to enroll in appropriate
undergraduate courses for no credit in order to prepare for a re-examination.
These examinations must be passed before admission to degree candidacy, i.e.,
prior to the attainment of 15 graduate credits.
2. At the discretion of the department chairperson, Graduate Record Examina-
tion scores may be required for purposes of evaluation and guidance
3. A reading proficiency is required in any one of the following modern lan-
guages: German, French, or Russian. The reading test is administered by the De-
44/Chemistry
partment of Foreign Languages. In place of the modern-language proficiency, a
demonstrated proficiency in a computer language (FORTRAN, for example) may
be substituted*
4. The candidate must perform successfully on an oral examination which is re-
quired for all options. The oral examination will include general chemistry knowl-
edge but will place emphasis on the area represented by independent study or
the research report. The members of the examination committee include the re-
search supervisor, the departmental graduate coordinator, and one other pro-
fessor.
PROGRAM FOR THE M.S. IN CHEMISTRY
30, 33 or 36 Semester Hours
The M.S. in chemistry program consists of a required core at 1 5 semester hours
and a chemistry elective area for which there are three options. All students must
complete the core, composed of CHE 511 —531 —545 and any two of the topics
courses CHE 515-525-533-542-551-575).
Option A (30 semester hours)
This is the thesis program. Beyond the core the candidate takes independent
studies/Thesis (CHE 610) and 9 semester hours of electives.
Option B (33 semester hours)
Beyond the core this option requires independent study in Chemistry/Research
Report (CHE 590) for 6 credits and 12 semester hours of electives.
Option C (36 semester hours)
Under this plan the student completes core requirements and an elective area of
21 semester hours which must include 3 credits in library research and report
(CHE 590).
Under all options the elective area is developed under advisement from chem-
istry offerings but may include 3 semester hours from another science area or

The Department of History offers three degrees: the Master of Arts in History;
the Master of Arts in Social Science with a concentration in history; and, in co-
operation with the School of Education, the Master of Education in Social
Science with a concentration in history.
The Master of Arts degree in history provides a sound foundation for study
leading to the doctorate in history as well as a background of knowledge for
teachers in secondary schools and institutions of higher learning and for persons
employed in industry and government. Study for the degree also enriches the cul-
tural background of students and helps them to evaluate present events in light
of the past.
The MA. in History may be achieved by completing either a thesis or non-
thesis program The candidate in the thesis program must pass a reading-pro-
ficiency test in either French or German The candidate, with the department
chairperson's approval, may substitute another language or may demonstrate
competency in statistics In the non-thesis program, the candidate does not fulfill
the language requirement but takes three seminars and presents a research paper
in each
The Master of Arts in Social Science is particularly relevant for teachers who
wish to strengthen their subject-matter knowledge in more than one academic
discipline. The program is also appropriate for persons employed in government
History/91
or industry or for those who wish to enrich their cultural background. Those who
select history as their concentration in this interdisciplinary program are advised
by the Department of History.
The Master of Education in Social Science (history concentration) provides in-
service teachers with additional professional-education courses as well as with
an opportunity to enlarge their understanding of the historical past.
In all three programs the Graduate Record Examinations (morning and after-
noon) are required for admission to degree candidacy, which should occur upon
completion of from 12 to 18 semester hours of graduate work.
Degree candidates must achieve at least a raw score of 1000 in the combined
verbal and advanced history portions of the Graduate Record Examinations or a
score of no less than the 40th percentile in the advanced history portion.

WEST CHESTER STATE COLLEGE— SUAAMER SESSIONS 1979
WEST CHESTER STATE COLLEGE
GRADUATE
SUAAMER SESSIONS
Jog your mind. . .
This summer at West Chester Stote College
where the pace is geared to busy people who wont
to enrich their personol or professional lives, speed
up their degree programs or treat themselves to a
study vocation.
The college is located in the Borough of West
Chester, a town which retains its colonial ot-
mosphere while providing all the modern
amenities to be expected in a suburban community.
Surrounded by beoutif ul Chester County farmland,
with the area's well-known ort colonies and
historic battlefields nearby, West Chester is only a
short ride away from the reseorch and cultural ad-
vontoges of Philadelphia and Wilmington.
Washington, D.C. ond New York City are both
within three hours traveling time.
From its location, West Chester State College
derives its character — a comfortable blend of city
and country, of the progressive and traditional.
This dichotomy is especially obvious
when the work is particularly up-beot and i
vigorattng and the compus is its most relaxing.
Summer course lists reflect current vitol issues
such OS "Combating Sexism in the Classroom,"
"Chemistry of the Environment" and "Consumer
Health Education," while maintaining a healthy
selection of basic courses in mathemotics, the
sciences, literoture and the arts.
Study and travel can be combined through West
Chester State College's special study tours this
year scheduled for India and the national parks of
the western United States. Also avoilable ore
wilderness adventures in the backlands of Penn-
sylvania or marine science investigations conduc-
ted at sea.
AH of these courses and the many more listed in
the following pages ore conveniently arranged
within a three-week pre session, a six-week
regular session and a three-week post session. This
schedule makes it possible for both the
vacationers, taking one course, and the go-getters,
absorbing a semester's worth, to fit West Chester
into their active summer agenda.
Keeping minds on course is not just a warm-
weother activity ot West Chester. It goes on all
yeor long. To get in the running, find out about the
college ond its graduate progroms by writing or
colling the Office of Graduate Studies at (215)
436-2343 or (2 1 5) 436-2943.
