Introduction
Few liberal arts colleges cgmbine the excitement and vitality of a metropolitan center
with the smallness and intimacy of the rural setting. Augsburg is one of the few, very special
Christian colleges which can offer you both.
The small college atmosphere enables you to
be a participant or a spectator at a variety of
events and activities. Exhibitions, concerts,
films, and lectures are regularly available to you
on campus. Through the intercollegiate or intramural athletic programs you may choose participation in athletics.
Religious activities are a vital part of the campus. The Religious Life Commission has been
established by the Student Government to
oversee, stimulate and perpetuate religious life
on the Augsburg campus. Its primary purpose
and goal is neither self-serving nor selfsustaining, but rather furthering the ministry of
Christ on the Augsburg campus.
You, the student, are an individual at Augsburg.
You design your own learning experience.
While distributional and major requirements act
as guidelines, there is latitude to design a
portion of your own education.
At Augsburg, the innovative and experimental
as well as the individual are central. The
college follows the calendar known as the "41-4."
In the study of the liberal arts, you will encounter ideas and experiences from the whole
range of human knowledge. The liberal arts
education, however, is more than an accumulation of knowledge from a number of
fields. Augsburg recognizes that concentration
is necessary in your chosen field. You may
choose from a variety of majors for hundreds of
career possibilities.
Augsburg is in the center of the Twln Cities of
Minneapolis and St. Paul. In this metropolitan
setting, a rich kaleidoscope d resources and
activities are available to enrich your educafion,
if you choose. You may select an evening at
the Guthrie Theater, the Brave New Workshop,
or at any of the many galleries or cofee
houses. You might spend an afternoon touring
the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. You may
choose a concert by the Minnesota Orchestra
or one by the many professional touring groups
that appear in the Twin Cities. There are
numerous opportunities for individual and team
sports. Professional sports are also available the Twins, the Vikings, the North Stars, the
Fighting Saints, and the Kicks.
Thus, we feel Augsburg is a distinctive
combination: a strong academic program, a
capable and dedicated staff, an eager student
body and a remarkable location.
The College
Identification
Augsburg is a four-year liberal arts college
affiliated with the American Lutheran Church
(ALC). Founded more than 1 0 0 years ago,
Augsburg celebrated its centennial in 1 9 6 9 and
is in its second century of Christian higher
education.
The current student body of over 1 7 0 0 is
largely of Lutheran background though many
denominations are represented on campus.
About 65% are resident students, while others
commute daily from the surrounding
metropolitan area.
Location
You and your education will have the option of
benefiting from Augsburg's location in the Twin
Cities. Excellent art collections are available to
you in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the
Walker Art Center, and many other galleries.
The Minnesota Orchestra and other area performing organizations afford rich opportunities
for the enjoyment of music of many types. The
Twin Cities also appear regularly on the
itineraries of major performing artists.
A variety of dramatic and musical presentations
is provided by several theaters in the area such
as the nationally known Guthrie Theater,
Theater-in-the Round, the Old Log Theater, the
St. Paul Opera, Chimera Theater and the

Recreational activities abound. You can play
tennis at parks near the campus or swlm in one
of the many area lakes. In the winter you may
join other students on skiing trips. Professional
sports are available the year around.
Reaching the Twin Cities is easy. Several major
airlines provide daily service to Minneapolis-St.
Paul International Airport, including United,
Northwest Orient, Eastern, Braniff, North
Central, Ozark and Allegheny. Bus or train
connections can be made from all areas of the
United States.
The Augsburg campus is just five minutes east
of downtown Minneapolis via Interstate 9 4
which forms the southern border of the
campus. (Directions are given in the map
section of this catalog.)
History
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by
Norwegian Lutherans in America. Minneapolis
replaced Marshall, Wisconsin, as Augsburg's
home in 1 8 7 2 . The first college students were
enrolled in 1 8 7 4 and the first college
graduation was held in 1 8 7 9 .
The school was officially named Augsburg
College in 1 9 6 3 when its former sponsor, the
Lutheran Free Church, merged with the
American Lutheran Church. Augsburg Seminary
joined with Luther Theological Seminary in St.
Paul that same year.
Nature and Objectives
Augsburg is a four-year liberal arts college of
the American Lutheran Church. It is committed
to an open, honest, competent inquiry into the
sciences, arts, and humanities in the context of
the Christian faith.
Augsburg emphasizes the following primary
objectives:
To expose students to a wide variety of
ideas and disciplines, while assisting them to
become proficient in one area or major
to help students understand the Christian
faith in relation to the contemporary world
to develop students' love of learning and
their faculties of reason, criticism, curiosity
and imagination by encouraging and maintaining academic excellence
to increase students' understanding o f the
urban environment and culture, and to
enable them to gain the skills needed to
respond creatively to the problems and
potentialities of the modern city
to encourage students to ascertain their
interests and abilities, and to aid them in
discovering the occupational opportunities
which exist for them
to assist students in their intellectual,
emotional, and spiritual growth; to
encourage them to develop attitudes and
qualities o f character compatible with the
Christian faith.
The Campus
I
1
Augsburg's compact campus is located in the
heart of Minneapolis surrounding Murphy
Square, the first of the 1 5 5 parks in the "City
of Lakes." The College currently has 1 5 major
buildings with a number of cottage housing
units that are very popular with the students.
The University of Minnesota and two of the
city's largest hospitals, Fairview and St. Mary's,
are adjacent to the campus.
Accreditation
Augsburg has achieved full accreditation in the
following associations that set standards by
which excellence is judged:
North Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools
The National Council for the Accreditation of
Teacher Education (Secondary and Elementary)
The American Chemical Society
Visiting the Campus
The purpose of the campus visit is to permit
students to learn, first-hand, about the College
program, facilities, and admissions requirements. A personal interview affords candidates,
parents, and the admissions counselor the opportunity to exchange information vital in the
process of selecting a college and in making
admissions decisions. A campus tour and an interview with an admissions officer are strongly
recommended but are not mandatory.
Students who wish to arrange for a tour and an
interview are asked to write for an appointment
or call the office ( 3 3 2 - 5 18 1 ) . Preferred times
for campus visits are 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. weekdays. Arrangements may also be made to meet
with a member of the faculty and to attend
classes, Monday through Friday, when school
is in session.
School, church, and other groups are welcome
to visit the College. Arrangements may be
made by writing the Office of Admissions,
Augsburg College, Minneapolis, Minnesota

Academic Life
Augsburg is a modern well-equipped
college which aims to provide its students with a broad liberal arts education as
well as prepare them for a career. A strong
academic program in the arts and sciences and
in theology is available. Pre-professional
preparation for such fields as engineering,
medicine, law and the Christian ministry is
offered. The College prepares students for
graduate study in several disciplines.
Preparation for careers in business,
communications, medical technology, music,
nursing, occupational therapy, social work, and
teaching is available.
Augsburg seeks to assist its students through
their academic experience to better understand
themselves and the world and to equip them to
serve according to their individual interests and
abilities.
The 4- 1 -4 Calendar
Augsburg follows the 4-1.-4 calendar. Two 1 5 week semesters are separated by a 4-week
interim in January. During each semester the
student generally enrolls in four courses; during
the interim concentration is on one subject.
The interim period is an especially exciting
time. The whole world becomes an arena of
learning. Creative energies and individual
interests determine the course of study.
Innovation and experimentation are encouraged
in this change from the general academic
schedule. Interest in music may take form in
the study and presentation of a concert
program. Interest in people may find form in the
study and participation in activities of a social
agency. Newspapers and advertising agencies
provide opportunities for those interested in
communications. Whether your interests are
sedate or spectacular the interim will afford the
opportunity to experience and experiment while
learning.
Faculty
Augsburg has an able faculty who try to take a
personal interest in their students. The studentfaculty ratio is approximately 1 7 . 8 to 1 , with
class size averaging 2 5 or less.
Augsburg faculty members serve as academic
advisers and are available for help on individual
problems. They often join students in
discussing the political climate, comparing
notes on a visiting speaker, or talking over the
latest Viking victory while having coffee.
General Education Requirements
Distribution requirements for graduation are
minimal, affording the student considerable
freedom in the choice of courses. A student
seeking a liberal arts education would probably
choose many of them even if they were not
required.
In the humanities division, students select
courses in literature, philosophy, art, music,
speech, drama, and religion. Science courses
may be chosen from biology, chemistry,
mathematics, physics, or psychology. Courses
in economics, history, political science,
sociology, and foreign languages or literature
are available. Proficiency in English writing
must be demonstrated. One course from an
approved list of courses containing an
emphasis on metropolitan concerns is required
as well as physical education activities. (For
details, see "Academic Administration"
section.)

Through C.L.I.C., the Twin Cities private
colleges library consortium, and Minitex, the
statewide library network, the Augsburg
community has access to over 5 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0
volumes. Augsburg's library works with a
collection of educational materials including
approximately 1 5 0 , 0 0 0 books, periodicals,
records, tapes, scores and films. The library is
open seven days a week, and the Audio-Visual
Center includes audio and television studios,
and provides film rental and related services.
ASSOCIATED COLLEGES OF THE TWIN CITIES.
Full-time students at Augsburg and the St. Paul
colleges of Hamline, Macalester, St. Catherine
and St. Thomas may elect a course each
semester at another campus. No additional fee
is required for such an exchange, except for
private instruction in music and some
independent studies. See under "Independent
Study" for further details. Students may elect
to participate in the cooperative program to
gain new perspectives, to get better acquainted
with the other schools, or to undertake a
specific course or major not offered on the
home campus. The colleges have coordinated
calendars. [he interim term may also be taken
on another campus. A regularly scheduled bus
shuttles students free between the campuses.
Augsburg College also cooperates with other
colleges in planning study opportunities for the
January interim. For example, Augsburg and St.
Olaf jointly plan a number of foreign study
opportunities for the interim. Since the interim
program is new each year, the Interim Director
should be consulted regarding planned
programs.
THE HIGHER EDUCATION CONSORTIUM.
This group is composed of colleges and
universities in Minnesota, Iowa, and South
Dakota. Planned activities include innovative
curricular programs for s t ~ ~ d e n t interchange
s,
and sharing of academic personnel and other
college resources, cooperative research
projects, foreign study, joint sponsorship of a
metro-urban affairs conference, and
development of programs consistent with the
needs and resources of the community
organizations of the Upper Midwest.
CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY PROGRAM. A
cooperative effort between Augsburg College
and Metropolitan Community College in
downtown Minneapolis has resulted in the
establishment of a four-year program in
sociology or psychology with a chemical
dependency specialty. The program is
designed to train specialists to help
professional people in dealing with chemical
dependency problems. Courses are taken both
on the Augsburg and the Metropolitan
camwses.
CONSERVATION OF HUMAN RESOURCES
(CHR). These co-learning classes bring
together Augsburg students, prison inmates,
mental hospital patients, guards, and students
at rehabilitation centers. Classes are held at
such places as the Shakopee Institution for
Women, Stillwater State Prison, Trevilla of
Robbinsdale (a center for the severely
physically handicapped), or on the Augsburg
campus. The classes offered through several
departments give students first-hand views of
the prisons, hospitals, and rehabilitation
centers. The response of students involved in
the courses, both from Augsburg and the
institutions, has been extremely favorable.
COMPUTER PROGRAMMING. Augsburg and
Control Data Institute have an arrangement
whereby students may transfer the equivalent
of three courses in computer programming
taken at CDI to Augsburg College.
AFFILIATION WITH SCHOOL OF NURSING.
Nursing students in the school of nursing at
Lutheran Deaconess Hospital receive
instruction in biology, chemistry, and other
basic courses at Augsburg. Applications for
admission to the school of nursing should be
made directly to the hospital.
MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY. In cooperation with
Hennepin County General, Metropolitan
Medical Center, and Northwestern hospitals,
Augsburg offers work which enables qualified
students to receive a college degree with a
major in Medical Technology. The first three
years of this work are taken at Augsburg, and a
final twelve-month program is completed at one
of the three hospitals when the student is
accepted by the participating hospital for its
program. Augsburg College does not guarantee
acceptance by the hospitals.
ENGINEERING. Affiliation with Washington
University School of Engineering and Applied
Science in St. Louis, Missouri, and Michigan
Technological University in Houghton,
Michigan, enables a student to receive the
Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College
and an engineering baccalaureate degree from
Washington University or Michigan
Technological University, in a five-year
program. The first three years are spent at
Augsburg and the last two at the affiliated
university.
CORRECTIVE THERAPY. A program in
Corrective Therapy worked out in cooperation
with the Veterans Administration Hospital,
Fairview Hospital, and Cambridge State
Hospital, is available to students who complete
a major in physical education with specialization
in Corrective Therapy.
Admission to the intercollegiate programs
requires an application to be approved by the
Director of Physical Education. Application
should be made during the spring semester of
the sophomore year. Candidates are required
to have a 2.5 grade-point average in work
completed in the major and a 2.0 grade-point
average over-all. All candidates should, as soon
as possible, consult with the Director of
Physical Education regarding proper sequence
of courses.
Opportunities for Study Abroad
Several types of international experience are
available to Augsburg students. Some of them
are briefly described below. For application
procedures and further information, request the
special brochure on lnternational Study at
Augsburg from the Director of lnternational
Programs.
STUDENT PROJECT FOR AMITY AMONG NATIONS (SPAN). Augsburg participates in the
SPAN program. This is a joint venture of the
University of Minnesota and several colleges in
the state. Each year three or four countries are
selected, and qualified students are granted
partial scholarships to enable them to spend a
summer in informal study in one of the
countries chosen. Applications to the program
are made in the spring of the freshman or
sophomore year. The SPAN program consists
of three stages: language study and group
meetings during the school year before
departure, independent study abroad on a topic
of one's choice auring the following summer,
and the writing of a paper upon return.
SEMESTER OR YEAR ABROAD. Arrangements have been made under which
Augsburg students may spend their sophomore
or junior year in study at a number of foreign
educational institutions. These institutions are
the University of Oslo, Norway; Schiller College
in London and Heidelberg; Warnborough House
College at Oxford, England; the lnstituto
Allende at San Miguel de Allende in Mexico;
the Institute for American Universities at Aix-enProvence and Avignon in France; The Goethe

may be applied to the student's graduation
requirements as electives, as elements of the
major sequence, or to satisfy some of the
general education requirements.
SUMMER SCHOOL. Again there is a wide
variety of possibilities for those who wish to
spend a summer studying abroad. Recently
Augsburg students have spent summers in
Norway, Spain, Mexico, France, Greece,
Germany, and England. Those interested in
further information should contact the Director
of lnternational Programs.
INTERIM. Study abroad during the interim is
planned for each year. See listings under the

Honors Program
The Honors Program at Augsburg College is
undergoing re-evaluation. Students wishing to
pursue an honors program should address
inquiries to the Office of the Academic Dean.
lnternship Program
The Internship Program is a college-wide
program. It provides students in almost all fields
of study an opportunity to gain practical on-thejob experience that can be related to their
academic program or personal interests.
Internships are available with a variety of
companies, agencies and community
organizations.

Student Life
Your experiences in the classroom are major
influences in your college life. They need
supplementing, however, by other activities and
opportunities. Whether as a resident student or
commuter, you'll find that the climate for
learning and living at Augsburg can add
dimension to your education.
golf. Augsburg is also a member of the
Minnesota Women's lntercollegiate Athletic
Association (MWIAA) and the Association for
lntercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW). The
women annually compete in volleyball,
gymnastics, basketball, badminton, golf and
tennis.
Social and Cultural
Throughout the year, a variety of social and
cultural activities takes place on campus as
well as in the Twin Cities. These activities
include dances, special dinners, name entertainment, and visiting personalities in various
fields.
The College Center is the focus of leisure-time
activity on campus. Offices for the College
newspaper, the Augsburg Echo, and the yearbook, the Augsburgian, are on the lower level.
Many of the clubs that unite classroom or nonclassroom related interests meet in the Center.
There are several opportunities for participation
in music and drama. In addition to campus and
local performances, the Augsburg Choir,
Concert Band, and Orchestra tour. The String
Ensemble, the Chorale, the Jazz Ensemble,
and several student-organized groups such as
the Cabaret Singers also perform on and off
campus. Several plays are given on campus
each year under the direction of the theater
arts department.
Recreation
Every student is urged to participate in some
activity for his or her own recreation and
relaxation. An intramural program provides
competition in a variety of team sports as well
as individual performance activities. Climaxing
the intramural program is the Extramural Meet,
a tournament for intramural winners at various
colleges.
lntercollegiate Athletics
Augsburg is affiliated with the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) and is a
member of the National Association of
lntercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The College
annually competes in ten sports, including
football, soccer, cross country, basketball,
hockey, wrestling, baseball, track, tennis, and
Religious Life
An important part of daily life at Augsburg is
religious activity. The Religious Life
Commission, chaired by a student and
composed of students and faculty, sees its
major responsibility in relation to worship,
devotional life, and the stimulation of faith
through discussion and service. Chapel
services are held three times a week and are
both experimental and traditional in character
Students, faculty and staff attend voluntarily.
Student Services
The staff of the Center for Student
Development is available for personal, career,
and academic counseling and consultation on
questions of academic procedure, student
activities, and residence living.
Reading and study skills assistance and tutoring are provided by the Center for Student
Development staff.
All members of the Augsburg faculty serve as
academic advisers. Advisers are assigned on
the basis of academic interests and students
are encouraged to establish close working
relationships with their adviser. Secondary
Education students may desire a second
adviser: one in the major and one in the area of
education. Freshmen also have an upperclass
adviser.
Career Planning and Placement services are
available to all students, and a Minority
Coordinator provides special support services
and programs for minority students on campus.
The office of Student Financial Services
provides assistance with financial problems. A
special Foreign Student Adviser works with
students from other countries.
New Dimensions Program
The New Dimensions Program is for adults who
have not attended or who have not graduated
from college. The program provides admissions
counseling, career guidance and planning, a
simplified time-saving registration procedure,
on-the-job experience prior to graduation, and,
for those who desire it, a special course to
ease the transition to academic life.
The transitional course, "The Adult Student:
Issues and Challenges," is offered several
times a year. It includes self-assessment,
testing, counseling, training and practice in
study skills, career exploration, and discussion
of personal and family problems arising from
the return to school. The course enables
returning adults to get to know each other
through sharing experiences, problems, hopes
and aspirations.
For further information, contact the New
Dimensions Office at Augsburg.
Housing
Because Augsburg recognizes that a student's
ability to respond to the learning environment
depends, in part, upon his or her living
conditions, a variety of housing alternatives is
provided. The residence hall program is
designed to promote student growth through
relationships with other students and being an
active participant in group decision making.
Each residence unit has one or more Resident
Assistants who are able to facilitate the
process of group living as well as discuss
personal concerns with individual students.
All new freshmen and some upperclassmen live
in Urness Tower. This eleven-story high-rise
houses 3 2 4 . Each floor is considered a
house unit providing 3 6 students, two to a
room, with their own lounge, study, and utility
areas.
Mortensen Tower, the newest residence hall,
is an alternative to traditional residence hall
living. It contains 1 0 4 one- and two-bedroom
apartments to accommodate 31 2 upperclass
students.
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall houses about
6 0 upperclass men and women. Memorial's
special advantage is that it is large enough to
meet new people, but small enough to retain a
friendly, close atmosphere.
Another alternative option is Annex Housing
which provides a unique opportunity to try
group living. Groups of upperclass men or
women share living space, house
responsibilities, and cooking. Houses are
located in the campus area.
Married student housing is available in annex
housing, Mortensen Tower and West Hall. All
freshmen and sophomores not living at home
are required to live in college-operated
housing.
Mortensen Tower is carpeted, air conditioned,
and contains kitchen units. It is otherwise
unfurnished. In other residence halls or houses,
rooms are furnished except for bed linen,
towels, blankets, and bedspreads. Laundry
facilities are available in each residence.
Students engage a room at the beginning of the
fall term for the entire school year. New
students receive room assignments during the
summer before they enroll at Augsburg.
Upperclass students make housing
arrangements in the spring. All resident
students must sign housing contracts.
Freshmen and transfer students are urged to
make the tuition deposit by June 1 in order to
secure housing. Students who deposit after
June 1 will be provided housing only if space is
available.
All students living on campus are required to
pay a $ 5 0 advanced payment when they sign
the housing contract. The fee is credited to the
students' account when they move into the
residence.
Food Service
The Commons, situated on the top floor of the
College Center, is the main food service
facility. This pleasant room features small table
units for easy conversation and overlooks the
College Quadrangle and Murphy Square. The
portions are generous and modestly priced.

term, and the student will register again for the
course in order to receive the final grade.

Study and/or Directed Study may count toward
the 3 5 courses required for the degree.

many departments in the College. These
programs are often available to conscientious
students who can demonstrate sufficient
background and preparation in a given field to

CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES IN BIOLOGY
BIOLOGY: 20106
Instructor: R. Lammers
R . Sulerud
"Scientific creationists" revive the argument against
the theory of evolution, and a debate i s held a t the
University of Minnesota. A book i s published claiming
the production of a cloned human, b u t the developmental
biologists react negatively. Farmers engage in verbal
(and sometimes physical ) battle with environmentalists
over the "endangered" status of wolves in Minnesota. A
nobel 1 aureate argues the genetic inferiority of blacks
and geneticists reply.
The popular press abounds in a r t i c l e s relating to
controversies related to biology. There are disputes
between biologists and others as well as sharp disagreements among biologists. Several of the issues will be
considered in t h i s course including the following:
Evolution; genetic engineering ( e .g. , cloning,
recombinant DNA); abortion; eugeEics and racism; 1 i f e
on other planets and the environmentalist movement.
Readings wi 11 be assigned and topics will be introduced
by the instructors. There will be ample time f o r
discussion and a number of guests will be invited to
participate. As time and arrangements allow, a few
f i e l d t r i p s may be taken. Students will concentrate
on one topic as the basis of an oral ( i f possible) or
written report. Eva1 uation will be based on the
report, an examination relating to the topics
considered, and class discussions.

CHEMISTRY FOR CHANGING TIMES
CHEMISTRY 34100
Instructor: Arlin Gyberg
T h i s i s a non-laboratory chemistry course based on t h e
very popular book by John W. Hill o f the same t i t l e .
It i s n o t a traditional chemistry course and does n o t
assume t h e science background. Basic science and math
a r e introduced early and are taught as needed f o r
understanding t h e various t o p i c s and implications.
The course does assume the student i s interested in
and concerned about the r e l a t i o n s h i p o f chemistry to
life and living.
Chemistry has been intimately a part o f liberal educat i o n f o r centuries. The early s c i e n t i s t s were c o n s i dered to be phi losophers and t h e i r societies were
philosophical societies. In recent decades t h e human
seeking of personal independence has led to chemistry
becoming a part o f everyday l i f e t o the p o i n t o f
actual dependence on chemistry. We l i v e i n a world
of p e s t i c i d e s , f e r t i l i z e r s , p l a s t i c s , "the p i l l " , food
a d d i t i v e s and processed foods, v i t a m i n supplements,
the energy c r i s i s , chemical dependency, biocides,
pol 1 u t a n t s , drugs, searching f o r 1i fe on other p l a n e t s ,
genetic manipulation,-and i t goes on and on. Emotions
and mental disorders can o f t e n be traced to chemical
imbalance. The common dragged out, grumpy feel i n g
a f t e r an afternoon nap i s a result o f a chemical
imbalance, The nature o f a hangover i s the result o f
a complex system of a ?t e r ~ dbody chemistry. Even
1earni ng appears to be the resul t of chemi ca1 r e a c t i o n
to form a "memory m o l e ~ u l e ' ~ ,Most o f the problems we
face are molecular in nature, What then b u t chemistry
can better h e l p us t o understand ourselves, our
society, our world, and our universe? Come join us
as we take a molecular look at the human condition.
T h i s course w511 be o f f e r e d i n a l e c t u r e l d i s c u s s i o n

Introduction
Few liberal arts colleges combine the excitement and vitality of a metropolitan center
with the smallness and intimacy of the rural setting. Augsburg is one of the few, very special
Christian colleges which can offer you both.
The small college atmosphere enables you to
be a participant or a spectator at a variety of
events and activities. Exhibitions, concerts,
films, and lectures are regularly available to you
on campus. Through the intercollegiate or intramural athletic programs you may choose participation in athletics.
Religious activities are a vital part of the campus. The Religious Life Commission has been
established by the Student Government to
oversee, stimulate and perpetuate religious life
on the Augsburg campus. Its primary purpose
and goal is neither self-serving nor selfsustaining, but rather furthering the ministry of
Christ on the Augsburg campus.
You, the student, are an individual at Augsburg.
You design your own learning experience.
While distributional and major requirements act
as guidelines, there is latitude to design a
portion of your own education.
At Augsburg, the innovative and experimental
as well as the individual are central. The
college follows the calendar known as the "41-4."
In the study of the liberal arts, you will encounter ideas and experiences from the whole
range of human knowledge. The liberal arts
education, however, is more than an accumulation of knowledge from a number of
fields. Augsburg recognizes that concentration
is necessary in your chosen field. You may
choose from a variety of majors for hundreds of
career possibilities.
Augsburg Is in the center of the Twin Cities of
Mlnneapol~sand St. Paul. In thls rnetrapolitan
setting, a rich kaleidoscope of resources and
activities are available to enrich your education,
if you choose. You may select an evening at
the Guthrie Theater, the Brave New Workshop,
or at any of the many galleries or coffee
houses. You might spend an afternoon touring
the M~nneapolisInstitute of Arts. You may
choose a concert by the Minnesota Orchestra
or one by the many professional touring groups
that appear in the Twin Cities. There are
numerous opportunities for individual and team
sports. Professional sports are also available the Twins, the Vikings, the North Stars, the
Fighting Saints, and the Kicks.
Thus, we feel Augsburg is a distinctive
combination: a strong academic program, a
capable and dedicated staff, an eager student
body and a remarkable location.
The College
Identification
Augsburg is a four-year liberal arts college
affiliated with the American Lutheran Church
(ALC). Founded more than 1 0 0 years ago,
Augsburg celebrated its centennial in 1 9 6 9 and
is in its second century of Christian higher
education.
The current student body of over 1 7 0 0 is
largely of Lutheran background though many
denominations are represented on campus.
About 65% are resident students, while others
commute daily from the surrounding
metropolitan area.
Location
You and your education will have the option of
benefiting from Augsburg's location in the Twin
Cities. Excellent art collections are available to
you in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the
Walker Art Center, and many other galleries.
The Minnesota Orchestra and other area performing organizations afford rich opportunities
for the enjoyment of music of many types. The
Twin Cities also appear regularly on the
itineraries of major performing artists.
A variety of dramatic and musical presentations
is provided by several theaters in the area such
as the nationally known Guthrie Theater,
Theater-in-the Round, the Old Log Theater, the
St. Paul Opera, Chimera Theater and the
Chanhassen Dinner Theater.
Recreational activities abound. You can play
tennis at parks near the campus or swim In one
of the many area lakes. In the winter you may
join other students on skiing trips. Professional
sports are available the year around.
Reaching the Twin Cities is easy. Several major
airlines provide daily service to Minneapolis-St.
Paul International Airport, including United,
Northwest Orient, Eastern, Braniff, North
Central, Ozark and Allegheny. Bus or train
connections can be made from all areas of the
United States.
The Augsburg campus is just five minutes east
of downtown Minneapolis via Interstate 9 4
which forms the southern border of the
campus. (Directions are given in the map
section of this catalog.)
History
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by
Norwegian Lutherans in America. Minneapolis
replaced Marshall, Wisconsin, as Augsburg's
home in 1 8 7 2 . The first college students were
enrolled in 1 8 7 4 and the first college
graduation was held in 1 8 7 9 .
The school was officially named Augsburg
College in 1 9 6 3 when its former sponsor, the
Lutheran Free Church, merged with the
American Lutheran Church. Augsburg Seminary
joined with Luther Theological Seminary in St.
Paul that same year.
Nature and Objectives
Augsburg is a four-year liberal arts college of
the American Lutheran Church. It is committed
to an open, honest, competent inquiry into the
sciences, arts, and humanities in the context of
the Christian faith.
Augsburg emphasizes the following primary
objectives:
To expose students to a wide variety o f
ideas and disciplines, while assisting them to
become proficient in one area or major
to help students understand the Christian
faith in relation to the contemporary world
to develop students' love of learning and
their faculties of reason, criticism, curiosity
and imagination by encouraging and maintaining academic excellence
to increase students' understanding of the
urban environment and culture, and to
enable them to gain the skills needed to
respond creatively to the problems and
potentialities of the modern city
to encourage students to ascertain their
interests and abilities, and to aid them in
discovering the occupatio~~al
opportunities
which exist for them
to assist students in their intellectual,
emotional, and spiritual growth; to
encourage them to develop attitudes and
qualities of character compatible with the
Christian faith.
Policies
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to
discriminate on the basis of race, creed,
national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex
or handicap as required by Title IX of the 1972
Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended in its
admissions policies, educational programs,
activities and employment practices. Inquiries
regarding compliance with Title IX may be
directed to Charles Gerster, Science Hall,
Room 139, or Marianne Sander, Memorial Hall,
(332-5181), or to the Director of the Office for
Civil Rights, Department of Health, Education
and Welfare, Washington, D.C.
The College and its faculty subscribe to the
Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom
as promulgated by the American Association of
University Professors and the Association of
American Colleges.
The Campus
Augsburg's compact campus is located in the
heart of Minneapolis surrounding Murphy
Square, the first of the 1 5 5 parks in the "City
of Lakes." The College currently has 1 5 major
buildings with a number of cottage housing
units that are very popular with the students.
The University of Minnesota and two of the
city's largest hospitals, Fairview and St. Mary's,
are adjacent to the campus.
Accreditation
Augsburg has achieved full accreditation in the
following associations that set standards by
which excellence is judged:
North Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools
The National Council for the Accreditation of
Teacher Education (Secondary and Elementary)
The American Chemical Society
Visiting the Campus
The purpose of the campus visit is to permit
students to learn, first-hand, about the College
program, facilities, and admissions requirements. A personal interview affords candidates,
parents, and the admissions counselor the opportunity to exchange information vital in the
process of selecting a college and in making
admissions decisions. A campus tour and an interview with an admissions officer are strongly
recommended but are not mandatory.
Students who wish to arrange for a tour and an
interview are asked to write for an appointment
or call the office (332-5181 ). Preferred times
for campus visits are 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. weekdays. Arrangements may also be made to meet
with a member of the faculty and to attend
classes, Monday through Friday, when school
is in session.
School, church, and other groups are welcome
to visit the College. Arrangements may be
made by writing the Office of Admissions,

their academic experience to better understand
themselves and the world and to equip them to
serve according to their individual interests and
abilities.
The Student As Learner
A great deal has been written during the last
few years describing the responsibilities of a
college to its students. Augsburg recognizes its
task to provide consistently high quality
opportunities for learning along with support
systems which enhance the teaching-learning
process.
Learning is not, however, a commodity which
can be purchased. It is not equal to simply
buying so many courses and being exposed to
the activities of professors. Learning involves
the solitary inner struggle of the student who
investigates, analyzes and synthesizes the
materials and insights offered. When these
have become one's own and when the learner
moves on to new personal insights, then
learning has taken place.
Both the school and the student have
responsibilities in this process. Neither party
can elude its basic task.
problems. They often join students in
discussing the political climate, comparing
notes on a visiting speaker, or talking over the
latest Viking victory while having coffee.
Library Services
Augsburg has a well-equipped library.
A relaxed atmosphere, a helpful staff and
friendly student library assistants make the
library a favorite place to study. The main
library, centrally located next to the Science
Hall, houses over 150,000 volumes including
books, periodicals, records and various other
media. The Music and Chemistry libraries are
located within the departmental areas.
Access to over a million volumes is available
via daily interloan and courier service among
the seven private liberal arts colleges and the
Hill Reference Library. Through Minitex, the
statewide network, the additional resources of
Minnesota and Wisconsin libraries are
accessible to the Augsburg faculty and
students.
A service-dedicated staff provides students with
assistance to meet diverse information needs
including instruction in the use of the library,
standard reference service, guidance in
pursuing term paper topics, and directions to
other local sources of information.
The AV Center of the Library provides facilities
for classes in broadcasting and audio-visual
materials. Assistance with the production of
slides, transparencies, filmstrips and
audiolvideo tape recordings are available for
both faculty and students. Equipment such as
movie and slide projectors and tape recorders
may be borrowed for limited periods; film
bibliographies and other advice on materials
selection are also available.
Faculty
The 4-1-4 Calendar
Augsburg has an able faculty who try to take a
personal interest in their students. The studentfaculty ratio is approximately 16.3 to 1, with
class size averaging 25 or less.
Augsburg follows the 4-1 -4 calendar. Two 15week semesters are separated by a 4-week
interim in January. During each semester the
student generally enrolls in four courses; during
the interim concentration is on one subject.
Augsburg faculty members serve as academic
advisers and are available for help on individual
The interim period is an especially exciting
time. The whole world becomes an arena of
learning. Creative energies and individual
interests determine the course of study.
Innovation and experimentation are encouraged
in this change from the general academic
schedule. Interest in music may take form in
the study and presentation of a concert
program. Interest in people may find form in the
study and participation in activities of a social
agency. Newspapers and advertising agencies
provide opportunities for those interested in
communications. Whether your interests are
sedate or spectacular the interim will afford the
opportunity to experience and experiment while
learning.
General Education Requirements
Distribution requirements for graduation are
minimal, affording the student considerable
freedom in the choice of courses. A student
seeking a liberal arts education would probably
choose many of them even if they were not
required.
,
In the humanities area, students may select
courses in literature, philosophy, art, music,
foreign languages, speech, drama, and religion.
Science courses may be chosen from biology,
chemistry, mathematics, or physics. Courses in
social and behavioral sciences are offered in
the departments of economics, history, political
science, psychology and sociology. Proficiency
in English writing must be demonstrated. One
course from an approved list of courses
containing an emphasis on urban concerns is
required as is also proficiency in two lifetime
sports. For details on general education
requirements see under Academic
Administration.

education at Augsburg. It is suggested that
requirements for admission to graduate schools
or seminaries be reviewed and then the course
of study at Augsburg be planned accordingly.

consultation with the pre-law adviser, Dr. Myles
Stenshoel, is strongly suggested. Students may
wish to take the Political Science course, Law
in the United States, to help determine whether
they possess an interest in law. Since law
schools encourage students to maintain a high

Inter-Institutional Programs
Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and
institutions in the Twin Cities area on several
programs.
LIBRARY AND MEDIA CENTER
Through C.L.I.C., the Twin Cities private
colleges library consortium, and Minitex, the
statewide library network, the Augsburg
community has access to over 5,000,000
volumes. Augsburg's library works with a
collection of educational materials including
approximately 150,000 books, periodicals,
records, tapes, scores and films.
ASSOCIATED COLLEGES OF TH6 TWIN
CITIES. Full-time students at Augsburg and the
St. Paul colleges of Hamline, Macalester, St.
Catherine and St. Thomas may elect a course
each semester at another campus. No
additional fee is required for such an exchange,
except for private instruction in music and
some independent studies. See under
"Independent Study" for further details.
Students may elect to participate in the
cooperative program to gain new perspectives,
to get better acquainted with the other schools,
or to undertake a specific course or major not
offered on the home campus. The colleges
have coordinated calendars. The interim term
may also be taken on another campus. A
regularly scheduled bus shuttles students free
between the campuses.
'
CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY PROGRAM. A
cooperative effort between Augsburg College
and Metropolitan Community College in
downtown Minneapolis has resulted in the
establishment of a four-year program in
social work, sociology or psychology with a
chemical dependency specialty. The program is
designed to train specialists to help professional
people in dealing with chemical dependency
problems. Courses are taken both on the
Augsburg and the Metropolitan campuses.
CONSERVATION OF HUMAN RESOURCES
(CHR). These co-learning classes bring together
Augsburg students, prison inmates, mental
hospital patients, guards, and students at
rehabilitation centers. Classes are held at such
places as the Shakopee Institution for Women,
Stillwater State Prison, Trevilla of Robbinsdale
(a center for the severely physically
handicapped), or on the Augsburg campus. The
classes offered through several departments
give students first-hand views of the prisons,
hospitals, and rehabilitation centers. The
response of students involved in the courses,
both from Augsburg and the institutions, has
been extremely favorable.
COMPUTER PROGRAMMING. Augsburg and
Control Data Institute have an arrangement
whereby students may transfer the equivalent
of three courses in computer programming
taken at CDI to Augsburg College.
Augsburg College also cooperates with other
colleges in planning study opportunities for the
January interim. For example, Augsburg and St.
Olaf jointly plan a number of foreign study
opportunities for the interim. Since the interim
program is new each year, the Interim Director
should be consulted regarding planned
programs.
AFFILIATION WITH SCHOOL OF NURSING.
Nursing students in the school of nursing at
Lutheran Deaconess Hospital receive
instruction in biology, chemistry, and other
basic courses at Augsburg. Applications for
admission to the school of nursing should be
made directly to the hospital.
THE HIGHER EDUCATION CONSORTIUM. This
group is composed of colleges and universities
in Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota. Planned
activities include innovative curricular programs
for students, interchange and sharing of
academic personnel and other college
resources, cooperative research projects,
foreign study, joint sponsorship of a metrourban affairs conference, and development of
programs consistent with the needs and
resources of the community organizations of
the Upper Midwest.
MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY. In cooperation with
Hennepin County General, Metropolitan Medical
Center, and Northwestern hospitals, Augsburg
offers work which enables qualified students to
receive a college degree with a major in
Medical Technology. The first three years of
this work are taken at Augsburg, and a final
twelve-month program is completed at one of
the three hospitals when the student is
accepted by the participating hospital for its
program. Augsburg College does not guarantee
acceptance by the hospitals.
ENGINEERING. Affiliation with Washington
University School of Engineering and Applied
Science in St. Louis, Missouri, and Michigan
Technological University in Houghton,
Michigan, enables a student to receive the
Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College
and an engineering baccalaureate degree from
Washington University or Michigan
Technological University, in a five-year
program. The first three years are spent at
Augsburg and the last two at the affiliated
university.
CORRECTIVE THERAPY. A program in
Corrective Therapy worked out in cooperation
with the Veterans Administration Hospital,
Fairview Hospital, and Cambridge State
Hospital, is available to students who complete
a major in physical education with specialization
in Corrective Therapy.
Admission to this program requires an
application to be approved by the director of
the program. Application should be made
during the spring semester of the sophomore
year. Candidates are required to have a 2.5
grade-point average in work completed in the
major and a 2.0 grade-point average over-all.
All candidates should, as soon as possible,
consult with the Director regarding proper
sequence of courses.
ANTIOCH-MINNEAPOLIS COMMUNIVERSITY.
Students at Augsburg College and AntiochMinneapolis Communiversity, a metropolitan
school emphasizing experiential-based learning,
may take classes at each other's campuses
under certain mutually satisfactory
arrangements. Interested persons should
contact the Academic Dean.
ROTC. While Augsburg does not offer Reserved
Officers Training programs for the various
armed services of the United States, such
programs are available in the metropolitan area
and may be pursued by Augsburg students. For
information, confer with the Dean of the
College.
Opportunities for Study Abroad
Several types of international experience are
available to Augsburg students. Some of them
are briefly described below. For application
procedures and further information, request the
special brochure on lnternational Study at
Augsburg from the Director of lnternational
Programs. Since there is a limit on the number
of students who may study abroad each year it
is wise to apply in the fall prior to the year one
wishes to participate in an international
program.
STUDENT PROJECT FOR AMITY AMONG
NATIONS (SPAN). Augsburg participates in the
SPAN program. This is a joint venture of the
University of Minnesota and several colleges in
the state. Each year three or four countries are
selected, and qualified students are granted
partial scholarships to enable them to spend a
summer in informal study in one of the
countries chosen. Applications to the program
are made in the spring of the freshman or
sophomore year. The SPAN program consists
of three stages: language study and group
meetings during the school year before
departure, independent study abroad on a topic
of one's choice during the following summer,
and the writing of a paper upon return.
SEMESTER OR YEAR ABROAD. Arrangements
have been made under which Augsburg
students may spend their sophomore or junior
year in study at a number of foreign
educational institutions. These institutions are
the University of Oslo, Norway; Schiller College
in London and Heidelberg; Warnborough House
College at Oxford, England; the lnstituto
Allende at San Miguel de Allende in Mexico;
the Institute for American Universities at Aix-enProvence and Avignon in France; The Goethe
Institute in Germany; the University of
Hamburg, Germany; the University of Seville,
Spain; and the University of Laval in Quebec. In
addition, through the Higher Education
Consortium for Urban Affairs, Augsburg students
may take part in the Scandinavian Urban
Studies Term, and through the Experiment in
lnternational Living, Augsburg students are
offered study programs in Columbia, Denmark,
England, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece,
Guatemala, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Nepal,
Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, and Yugoslavia. This
type of study must be approved before
departure by the Director of lnternational
Programs, one's faculty adviser, and the
Committee on Admissions and Student
Standing. Credit earned through foreign study
may be applied to the student's graduation
requirements as electives, as elements of the
major sequence, or to satisfy some of the
general education requirements.
SUMMER SCHOOL. Again there is a wide
variety of possibilities for those who wish to
spend a summer studying abroad. Recently
Augsburg students have spent summers in
Norway, Spain, Mexico, France, Greece,
Germany, and England. Those interested in
further information should contact the Director
of International Programs.
INTERIM. Study abroad during the interim is
planned for each year. See listings under the
Augsburg Interim Catalog and in the brochure
on Interims Abroad issued each spring for the
following January.
both credit and non-credit, through its
Continuing Education Program. Classes are
generally in the evening. Since continuing
education courses are offered on a semesterhour basis, the courses vary in length from four
weeks to fourteen weeks. Students wishing to
know more about Augsburg's continuing
education offerings should call or write the
Office of the Associate Dean of the Faculty.
New Dimensions Program
The New Dimensions Program is for adults who
have not attended or who have not graduated
from college. The program provides admissions
counseling, career guidance and planning, a
simplified time-saving registration procedure,
on-the-job experience prior to graduation, and,
for those who desire it, a special course to
ease the transition to academic life.
Honors Program
The Honors Program at Augsburg is designed
to provide opportunities for qualified students to
pursue an enriched and sometimes accelerated
course of study. Special seminars, colloquia,
honors student forums and options in
completing the general education requirements
are all parts of the Honors Program. Inquiries
should be addressed to Dr. Milda Hedblom,
Honors Director.
lnternship Program
The lnternship Program is a college-wide
program. It provides students in almost all fields
of study an opportunity to gain practical on-thejob experience that can be related to their
academic program or personal interests.
Internships are available with a variety of
companies, agencies and community
organizations.
Continuing Education Program
Augsburg College offers a number of courses,
The transitional course, "The Adult Student:
Issues and Challenges," is offered several
times a year. It includes self-assessment,
testing, counseling, training and practice in
study skills, career exploration, and discussion
of personal and family problems arising from
the return to school. The course enables
returning adults to get to know each other
through sharing experiences, problems, hopes
and aspirations.

Science, is awarded to graduates with majors in
Medical Technology, Music Therapy, Nursing,
and Social Work. Majors in Music may select
the program for either the Bachelor of Arts or
the Bachelor of Music degree. Graduates with

Student Life
Your experiences in the classroom are a major
aspect of your college life, but learning and
development also occur in formal and informal
activities and opportunities of the college and
metropolitan area. Whether you are a resident
or commuter student, you'll find that the climate
for learning and living at Augsburg can add
dimension to your education.
Religious Life
An important part of daily life at Augsburg is
religious activity. The Religious Life
Commission, chaired by students and
composed of students and faculty, sees its
major responsibility in relation to worship,
devotional life and the stimulation of faith.
Chapel services are held three times a week
and are both experimental and traditional in
character. The Wednesday evening Eucharist
service in the College Center is a valued
worship experience for many students. Students,
faculty and staff participate voluntarily. Special
events are sponsored throughout the year and
a number of groups having a religious
emphasis meet regularly. The Campus Pastor
has an office in the College Center where you
can contact him for counseling, consultation or
ways to get more involved.
Social and Cultural
Throughout the year, a variety of social and
cultural activities takes place on campus as
well as in the Twin Cities. These activities
include dances, special dinners, name
entertainment, and visiting personalities in
various fields.
The College Center is the focus of leisure-time
activity on campus. Offices for the College
newspaper, the Augsburg Echo, and the
yearbook, the Augsburgian, are on the lower
level. Many of the clubs that unite classroom or
non-classroom related interests meet in the
Center.
There are several opportunities for participation
in music and drama. In addition to performing
on campus and in the city, the Augsburg Choir,
Concert Band, and Orchestra tour. The String
Ensemble, the Chorale, the Jazz Ensemble and
several student-organized groups such as the
Cabaret Singers also perform on and off
campus. Several plays are given on campus
each year under the direction of the theater arts
department.
Recreation
Every student is urged to participate in some
activity for his or her own recreation and
relaxation. An intramural program provides
competition in a variety of team sports as well
as individual performance activities. Broomball
has been an especially popular coed sport.
Climaxing the intramural program is the
Extramural Meet, a tournament for intramural
winners at various colleges. Check schedules
for times when there is open use of the
gymnasium and the ice arena.
lntercollegiate Athletics
Augsburg is affiliated with the Minnesota
lntercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) and
is a member of the National Association of
lntercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The College
annually competes in ten sports, including
football, soccer, cross-country, basketball,
hockey, wrestling, baseball, track, tennis, and
golf. Augsburg is also a member of the
Minnesota Women's lntercollegiate Athletic
Association (MWIAA) and the Association for
lntercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW).
The women annually compete in volleyball,
gymnastics, basketball, badminton, golf, tennis,
and track.
Student Services
Augsburg College is concerned with educating
the whole person and recognizes that the
context in which learning takes place is a
critical factor in achieving optimal growth.
Knowledge grows from more than intellectual
endeavors. Expanding relationships, exploring
values, identifying life styles, developing
autonomy and interdependence, finding
purpose and commitment - all combine with
intellectual content and skills to produce the
desired educational impact of the college on its
students.
The Division of Student Affairs has been
created to support this task. During the summer
before your freshman year, or at the time of
transfer, you will receive a copy of
SEMAPHORE: Student Guide to a College
Education. This book will help you assess the
possibilities in your education, choices i o make,
directions to consider and different destinations
for which to plan. SEMAPHORE was designed
to act as a sort of road map for you.
The Center for Student Development provides a
variety of services to help make your journey
as rich and meaningful as possible. Some of
the opportunities you may wish to participate in
are listed below.
Summer Orientation. You can plan your first
academic year and register for classes. You
and your parents get acquainted with
classmates, faculty, and staff as well as with
the campus. You stay in the dormitory, attend
events in the metropolitan area and seek
answers to the many questions you have about
college life.
Career Planning and Placement. You may be
uncertain about where you want to be when
you finish your undergraduate experience,
whether your life style will be a balanced one,
how work will provide opportunity for service
and fulfillment. Augsburg has a four-year career
development plan to help you assess yourself,
explore possibilities, test realities and prepare
for entry into the next phase of your life. All
new students will have a chance to review their
interests with a counselor.
Human Development Seminars. A series of
informal "mini-courses" are offered each year to
help you grow in understanding of yourself and
your relationship to others. Such topics as
PEER (Positive Educational Experiences in
Relationships), Issues in Men's and Women's
Identity, Assertiveness, Job Seeking, and
Sexuality are available. Information on current
offerings and opportunity to register are
provided several times during the year.
Academic Enrichment. You may want to
improve your skills in such areas as reading,
studying, note-taking, and testing by attending
one or more of the workshops offered. You
also will have an opportunity to meet with a
counselor to diagnose your needs. If a
particular course proves difficult, you can
arrange for tutoring through the Center.
Counseling and Guidance. Situations occur for
all of us where we can handle challenges more
effectively by finding and discussing things with
someone who has more expertise. Counselors
are available to help you think through how you
can handle major or minor problems in a
constructive way. Consultation is provided on
questions of policy and procedure.
Minority Concerns. If you have some special
needs or simply want to expand your crosscultural awareness, you can contact a staff
member to help you find out which resources
and programs will help meet your needs.
Residence Life
Because Augsburg recognizes that a student's
ability to respond to the learning environment
depends, in part, upon his or her living
conditions, a variety of housing alternatives is
provided. The residence hall program is
designed to promote student growth through
relationships with other students and being an
active participant in group decision making.
Each residence unit has one or more Resident
Staff who are able to facilitate the process of
group living as well as discuss personal
concerns with individual students.
All new freshmen and some upperclass
students live in Urness Tower. This elevenstory high-rise houses 324. Each floor is
considered a house unit providing 36 students,
two to a room, with their own lounge, study
and utility area.
Mortensen Tower, the newest residence hall, is
an alternative to traditional residence-hall living.
It contains 104 one and two-bedroom
apartments to accommodate 31 2 upperclass
students.
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall houses about
60 upperclass men and women. Memorial's
special advantage is that it is large enough to
meet new people, but small enough to retain a
friendly, close atmosphere.
Another alternative option is Annex Housing
which provides a unique opportunity to try
group living. Groups of upperclass men or
women share living space, house
responsibilities, and cooking. Houses are
located in the campus area. One way to
maximize the living-learning aspects of your
housing situation is to avail yourself of the
opportunity to bid for a house as a Special
Interest House. Groups of students have
created exciting projects by writing and
implementing educational impact proposals on
such topics as Environmental Concerns, Men's
and Women's Awareness, International Living,
Simplified Life Styles, and Scandinavian
Studies.
the basis of academic interests, and students
are encouraged to establish close working
relationships with their adviser. Secondary
Education students have available a second
adviser; one in the major and one in the area of
education. Freshmen also have an upperclass
adviser.
Married student housing is available in annex
housing, Mortensen Tower and West Hall. All
freshmen and sophomores not living at home
are required to live In college-operated
houslng.
You may wish to contact this office for
information on types of assistance available and
for answers to questions about deadlines and
procedures. Work opportunities both on and off
campus are also recorded. If you have financial
problems, this is a good place to work them
out.
Mortensen Tower is carpeted, air conditioned,
and contains kitchen units. It is otherwise
unfurnished. In other residence halls or houses,
rooms are furnished except for bed linens,
towels, blankets, and bedspreads. Laundry
facilities are available in each residence.
Students engage a room at the beginning of the
fall term for the entire school year. New
students receive room assignments during the
summer before they enroll at Augsburg.
Upperclass students make housing
arrangements in the spring. All resident
students must sign housing contracts.
Freshmen and transfer students are urged to
make the tuition deposit by June 1 in order to
secure housing. Students who deposit after
June 1 will be provided housing only if space is
available.
All students living on campus are required to
pay a $50 advanced payment when they sign
the housing contract. The fee is credited to the
students' account when they move into the
residence.
Student Activities
A variety of interests are served by groups and
clubs and by events sponsored by the student
government. If you need information or wish to
initiate a new group or activity, contact the
Student Activities Director.
Advising
All members of the Augsburg faculty serve as
academic advisers. Advisers are assigned on
Student Financial Services
Health Service
Your health needs will be met by the staff of
Smiley's Point Clinic located on Riverside
Avenue across the street from the campus.
Vkfts are free except for special testing or
service, and prescriptions are available through
the Fairview Pharmacy at cost. Be sure to
check your family health coverage to determine
if you are included; if not, a student health
insurance plan is available.
Food Service
The Commons, situated on the top floor of the
College Center is the main food-service facility.
This pleasant room features small table units for
easy conversation and overlooks the College
Quadrangle and Murphy Square. The portions
are generous and modestly priced. Students on
board plan who live in residence halls eat their
meals in the Commons.
The Chinwag, located on the ground floor of
the Center, features short orders and is open
through the noon hour and in the evenings.
Augsburg provides a variety of board plan
options for those living in College houses or
nearby apartments.
Student Government
Student government is the vehicle through
which students can secure a closer relationship
and better understanding with the
administration and faculty, and provide better
input into the decision-making process at
Augsburg. Student government also sponsors
and directs student activities, protects student
rights, and provides the means for discussions
and action on all issues pertaining to student
life at Augsburg. Student government is
organized into three branches: the executive
branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial
branch. Student-government elections are held
in the spring except for freshmen who elect
their representatives in the fall of their first year,
Many kinds of involvement are possible from
program planning to writing or editing to service
opportunities. If you want to get involved,
contact the President or Vice President in their
offices in the College Center.
International Students
If you are a student from a foreign country or
would like to be part of the activities of this
group, contact the faculty member who is
appointed as adviser.
Student Rights
The College has adopted a statement of
student rights and responsibilities and has
provided for due process in matters of
disciplinary action and grade appeal. The
Judicial Council is elected by student and
faculty and serves to conduct hearings and
review matters of concern. Any student who
wishes to identify appropriate procedures for
complaint should contact the Vice President for
Student Affairs if the concern is related to
student life and the Vice President for
Academic Affairs if the concern is related to
academic matters.
The College operates in compliance with the
Family Rights and Privacy Act and Title IX.
Students have the right to inspect all official

the PIN grading system. Some education
courses are graded only on the PIN system;
some others are graded only P, 1.0, N.
Students may select the traditional grading
system in most other courses. Students are

since some graduate and professional schools
do not look favorably on a large number of Pgraded courses.
Students must indicate on their registration card
those courses which they wish to take on the

I grade, a student must file a petition with the
Committee on Admissions and Student
Standing stating the reasons for requesting it,
the plan and date for removing it, and
comments from the instructor of the course. If
permission to receive an I grade is granted, it
must be removed during the following
semester. If the incomplete is not removed
during the following semester, it becomes the
grade submitted by the teacher along with the
incomplete.
A grade of X may be given for an Independent
Study or Directed Study course that is to be
spread over more than one semester. Such a
course must be completed during the second
semester or the grade of X will remain on the
record.

professor within two weeks of the beginning of
the term to determine expectations, attendance
requirements, etc. If expectations have been
met, the course will be listed on the student's
transcript as having been audited. If
expectations have not been met, the course
will be listed with a grade of W (withdrawn).
Full-time students may audit a course without
charge. The charge for part-time students is
listed under Expenses.

Students registered for three or more courses
are classified as full-time students. It is the
responsibility of each veteran to report any
change in registration andlor academic load to
the Office of the Registrar.
lndependent study programs are offered by
many departments in the College. These
programs are often available to conscientious
students who can demonstrate sufficient
background and preparation in a given field to
carry out work on an independent basis.
Students interested in registering for
independent study must first secure permission
from the faculty member who will direct the
study as well as from the department involved.
Veterans will be referred to the State Approving
Agency after any period of two consecutive
terms in which they did not earn a minimum of
three courses per term. An incomplete grade (I)
may b e given only in the case of extreme
emergency. See section on Grading.
A student who registers for independent study
should normally expect to complete it in one
semester but may extend it into the next term
by permission of the instructor. In such cases, a
grade of X is given at the end of the first term,
and the student will register again for the
course in order to receive the final grade.
A non-punitive grade which brings a veteran's
academic load for the term below three courses
will be reported to the Veterans Administration.
Veterans will need to meet the requirements of
the Veterans Administration regarding
repayment of educational assistance funds
received.

Introduction
Few liberal arts colleges combine the
excitement and vitality of a metropolitan
center with the smallness and intimacy of
the rural setting. Augsburg i s one of the
few, very special Christian colleges which
can offer you both.
The small college atmosphere enables
you to be a participant or a spectator at a
variety of events and activities. Exhibitions, concerts, films, and lectures are
regularly available to you on campus,
as are intercollegiate or intramural athletic
programs.
Religious activities are a vital part of the
campus. The Religious Life Commission
has been established by the Student
Government to oversee, stimulate and
perpetuate religious life on the Augsburg
campus. Its primary purpose and goal is
neither self-serving nor self-sustaining,
but rather furthering the ministry of
Christ on the Augsburg campus.
You, the student, are an individual at
Augsburg. You design your own learning
experience. While distributional and
major requirements act as guidelines,
there is latitude to design a portion of
your own education.
At Augsburg, the innovative and experimental as well as the individual are
central. The college follows the calendar
known as the "4-1-4."
In the study of the liberal arts, you will
encounter ideas and experiences from
the whole range of human knowledge.
The liberal arts education, however, i s
more than an education of knowledge
from a number of fields. Augsburg recognizes that concentration i s necessary in
your chosen field. You may choose from a
variety of majors for hundreds of career
possibilities.
Augsburg i s in the center of the Twin
Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. In this
metropolitan setting, a rich kaleidoscope
of resources and activities is available to
enrich your education, if you choose. You
may select an evening at the Guthrie
Theater, the Brave New Workshop, or at
any of the many galleries or coffee
houses. You might spend an afternoon
touring the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
You may choose a concert by the Minnesota Orchestra or one by the many professional touring groups that appear in
the Twin Cities. There are numerous
opportunities for individual and team
sports. Professional sports are also available - the Twins, the Vikings, the North
Stars, and the Kicks.
Thus, we feel Augsburg is a distinctive
combination: a strong academic program, a capable and dedicated staff, an
eager student body and a remarkable
location.
The College
Identification
Augsburg is afour-year liberal artscollege
affiliated with the American Lutheran
Church (ALC). Founded more than 100
years ago, Augsburg celebrated i t s

Academic Life
Augsburg i s a modern well-equipped
college which aims to provide its students
with a broad liberal arts education as well
as prepare them for a career. A strong
academic program in the arts and sciences
and in theology is available. Pre-professional preparation for such fields as
engineering, medicine, law and t h e
Christian ministry i s offered. The College
prepares students for graduate study in
several disciplines. Preparation f o r
careers i n business, communications,
medical technology, music, nursing,
occupational therapy, social work, and
teaching is available.
Augsburg seeks t o assist its students
through their academic experience t o
better understand themselves and the
world and to equip them t o serve accordi n g t o their individual interests and
abilities.
The Student as Learner
A great deal has been written during the
last few years describing the responsibilities of a college to i t s students. Augsburg
recognizes its task to provide consistently
high quality opportunities for learning
along with support systems which enhance the teaching-learning process.
Learning is not, however, a commodity
which can be purchased. It i s not equal t o
simply buying so many courses and being
exposed to the activities of professors.
Learning involves t h e solitary i n n e r
struggle of the student who investigates,
analyzes and synthesizes the materials
and insights offered. When these have
become one's own and when the learner
moves on to new personal insights, then
learning has taken place.
Both the school and the student have
responsibilities i n this process. Neither
party can elude its basic task.
Faculty
Augsburg has an able faculty who try t o
take a personal interest i n their students.
The student-faculty ratio i s approximately
15.5 t o 1, with class size averaging 25 or
less.
Augsburg faculty members serve as
academic advisers and are available for
help on individual problems. They often
join students in discussing the political
climate, comparing notes on a visiting
speaker, or talking over the latest sports
victory while having coffee.
Library Services
Augsburg has a well-equipped library.
A relaxed atmosphere, a helpful staff and
friendly student library assistants make
the library a favorite place t o study. The
main library, centrally located next to the
Science Hall, houses over 150,000volumes
including books, periodicals, records and
various other media. The Music and
Chemistry libraries are located within the
departmental areas.
Access to over a million volumes i s available via daily interloan and courier service
among the seven private liberal arts colleges and the Hill Reference Library.
Through Minitex, the statewide network,
the additional resources of Minnesota
and Wisconsin libraries are accessible t o
the Augsburg faculty and students.
A service-dedicated staff p r o v i d e s
students with assistance to meet diverse
information needs including instruction
in the use of the library, standard reference service, guidance i n pursuing term
paper topics, and directions t o other local
sources of information,
The AV Center of the Library provides
facilities for classes in broadcasting and
audio-visual materials. Assistance with the
production of slides, transparencies, filmstrips and audiohide0 tape recordings
are available f o r b o t h f a c u l t y and
students. Equipment such as movie and
slide projectors and tape recorders may
be borrowed for limited periods; film
bibliographies and other advice o n
materials selection are also available.
The 4-1-4 Calendar
Augsburg follows the 4-1-4 calendar. Two
15-week semesters are separated by a 4week interim in January. During each
semester the student generally enrolls i n
four courses; during the interim concentration i s on one subject.
The interim period is an especially exciting time. The whole world becomes an
arena of learning. Creative energies and
individual interests determine the course
of study. Innovation and experimentation
are encouraged in this change from the
general academic schedule. Interest i n
music may take form in the study and
presentation of a concert program. Interest i n people may find form i n the study
and participation i n activities of a social
agency. Newspapers and advertising
agencies provide opportunities for those
interested' i n communications. Whether
your interests are sedate or spectacular
the interim will afford the opportunity t o
experience and experiment while learning.
General Education
Requirements
Distribution requirements for graduation
are minimal, affording the student considerable f r e e d o m i n t h e choice o f
courses. A student seeking a liberal arts
education would probably choose many
of them even if they were not required.

select courses i n literature, philosophy,
art, music, foreign languages, speech,
drama, and religion. Science courses may
be chosen f r o m biology, chemistry,

area. Whether you are a resident or commuter student, you'll find that the climate
for learning and living at Augsburg can
add dimension to your education.
Religious Life
An important part of daily life at Augsburg
is religious activity. The Religious Life
Commission, chaired by students and
composed of students and faculty, sees its
major responsibility in relation t o worship, devotional life and the stimulation of
faith. Chapel services are held three times
a week and are both experimental and
traditional in character. The Wednesday
evening Eucharist service in the College
Center i s a valued worship experience for
many students. Students, faculty and staff
participate voluntarily. Special events are
sponsored throughout the year and a
number of groups having a religious
emphasis meet regularly. The Campus
Pastor has an office in the College Center
where you can contact him for counseling, consultation or ways to get more
involved.
Social and Cultural
Throughout the year, a variety of social
and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These
activities include dances, special dinners,
name entertainment, and visiting personalities in various fields.
The College Center is the focus of leisuretime activity on campus. Offices for the
College newspaper, the Augsburg Echo,
and the yearbook, the Augsburgian, are
on the lower level. Many of the clubs that

Student Services
Augsburg College i s concerned with educating the whole person and recognizes
that the context i n which learning takes
place i s a critical factor in achieving optimal growth. Knowledge growsfrom more
than intellectual endeavors. Expanding
relationships, exploring values, identifying life styles, developing autonomy and
interdependence, finding purpose and
commitment - all combine with intellectual content and skills t o produce the
desired educational impact of the college
on its students.
The Division of Student Affairs has been
created t o support this task. During the
summer before your freshman year, or at
the time of transfer, you will receive a
copy of SEMAPHORE: Student Guide t o a
College Education. This book will help
you assess the possibilities in your education, choices t o make, directions t o
consider and different destinations for
which t o plan. SEMAPHORE was designed
to act as a sort of road map for you.

Residence Life
Because Augsburg recognizes that a student's ability t o respond t o the learning
environment depends, in part, upon his
or her living conditions, a variety of
housing alternatives is provided. The residence hall program is designed t o promote student growth through relationships with other students and being an
active participant i n group decisionmaking. Each residence unit has one or
more Resident Staff who are able t o
facilitate the process of group living as

t w o - b e d r o o m apartments t o accommodate 312 upperclass students.
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall houses
about 60 upperclass men and women.
Memorial's special advantage is that it i s
large enough t o meet new people, but
small enough to retain a friendly, close
atmosphere.
West Hall contains 12 one-bedroom
apartments housing 24 upperclass
students.
Another alternative option is Annex
Housing which provides a unique opportunity to try group living. Groups of
upperclass men or women share living
space, house responsibilities, and cooking.
Houses are located in the campus area.
One way to maximize the living-learning
aspects of your housing situation is to avail
yourself of the opportunity to bid for a
house as a Special Interest House. Groups
of students have created exciting projects
by writing and implementing educational
impact proposals on such topics as
Environmental Concerns, Men's and
Women's Awareness, International Living,
Simplified Life Styles, and Scandinavian
Studies.
Married student housing i s available in
annex housing and Kueffner Apartments.
All freshmen and sophomores not living
at home are required to live in collegeoperated housing.

otherwise unfurnished. In other residence halls or houses, rooms are furnished except for bed linens, towels,
blankets, and bedspreads. Laundry facilities are available in each residence.
Students engage a room at the beginning
of the fall term for the entire school year.
New students receive room assignments
during the summer before they enroll at
Augsburg. Upperclass students make
housing arrangements in the spring. All
resident students must sign housing
contracts.
Freshmen and transfer students are urged
to make the tuition deposit by June 1 in
order to secure housing. Students who
deposit after June 1 will be provided
housing only if space i s available.
All students living on campus are required
to pay a $100 advance paymentwhen they
sign the housing contract. The fee i s
credited to the students' account when
they move into the residence.
Student Activities
A variety of interests are served by groups
and clubs and by events sponsored by the
student government. If you need information or wish to initiate a new group or
activity, contact the Student Activities
Director.
Advising
All members of the Augsburg faculty

PREPARING A BUDGET
Writing down realistic estimates of all
expenses and of all potential financial
resources i s the best way to do your
financial planning. Both your own financial ability and that of your family are
considered in evaluating your need for
financial aid. Your budget should include
amounts for tuition and fees and for
books and supplies. Tuition and fees for
1979-80 are $3365 per year. Books and
supplies may be estimated at $225 per
year. Room and board is $1620 per year.
Other college-related expenses are those
for transportation to and from the campus. Estimates should be based on nine
months.
Personal maintenance costs vary, but
amounts should be budgeted for:
Clothing, cleaning
Recreation, entertainment
Personal spending, cosmetics,
incidentals
Medical (doctors, dentists, eyeglasses,
etc.)
After you have written down estimates of
your expenses, make a list of all possible
sources of income, such as: contributions
from parents' earnings; personal and
family savings; personal earnings during
vacation periods; earnings from part-time
jobs during academic year; benefits from
Social Security and/or Veteran's Administration; aids or loans from sources other
than family, friends or Augsburg (i.e.,
scholarships from state, church, civic and
school).
Students should check with their employers, their parents' employers and any
union to which a family member belongs
for possible scholarship programs. High
school guidance counselors may have
information about student aid offered by
church, civic, professional, or fraternal
organizations in a given locality. Following
you will find a summary of financial aid
programs.

receive permission to register for more
than 4.5 courses.
Although a student may register up to two
weeks after the semester begins, it is
advantageous to register at the regularly
scheduled time. A fee is charged for late
registration. A fee i s also charged for
changing registration, i.e., cancelling or
adding courses after the first five days of
the semester.
Students are urged not t o abandon

spring term.
Dismissal from the College will not be
automatic. Each case will be reviewed by
the Committee on Admissions and
Student Standing.
A student who has been on probation for
two terms and withdraws from the College voluntarily must havespecial permission to re-enroll.
Evaluation and Grading
Student achievement in courses i s measured, primarily, by means of final examinations. Shorter examinations or tests,
written papers, oral reports, and other
types of evaluation are also used.
Most courses are graded on a scale of 4.0
to 0 with definitions as follows:
4.0 Achieves highest standards of
excellence.
3.5
3.0 Achieves above basic course
standards.
2.5
2.0 Meets basic standards for the
course.
1.5
1.0 Performance below basic course
standards.
.5
0. Unacceptable performance (no
credit for the course).
Most courses are also offered on a Pass/
No Credit system, with P meaning a grade
of 2.0 or better and N meaning no credit
and a grade of less than 2.0. On the P/N
grading system the grade is recorded but
not computed in the grade point average.
A student may count a maximum of eight
courses of Ptoward graduation. For transfer students the maximum i s an average of
two courses per year. Two courses in the
major (except Elementary Education) and
one in the minor may be on P/N grading
system if approved by the department
chairperson.
Sociology 383, and several interim courses
are graded only on the P/N grading system. Some education courses are graded
only on the P/N system; some others
are graded only only P, 1.0, N. Eng. Ill i s
graded P or N, or 2.0-4.O/N. Students may
select the traditional grading system in
most other courses. Students are cautioned to use the P/N grade option with care
since some graduate and professional
schools do not look favorably on a large
number of P-graded courses.
Students must indicate on their registration form those courses which they wish
to take on the P/N grading system. Any
changes in choice of grading system must
be made according to dates published
each term. A fee i s charged after the first
five days of classes.
Music organizations and performance
studies, Chemistry Seminar and Lifetime
Sports are graded P/O.O.
An incomplete grade (I)may be given
only in the case of extreme emergency. To
receive an I grade, a student must file a
petition with the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing stating the
reasons for requesting it, the plan and
date for removing it, and comments from
the instructor of the course. If permission
to receive an 1 grade is granted, it must be
removed during the following semester.
If the incomplete is not removed during
the following semester, it becomes the
grade submitted by the teacher along
with the incomplete.
A grade of X may be given for an Independent Study or Directed Study course
that is to be spread over more than one
semester. Such a course must be completed during the second semester or the
grade of X will remain on the record.
A course in which a grade of 0,1.0,1.5, N,
1, or X has been received may be repeated
for credit. All courses taken remain on the
academic record. Only the credits and
grades earned the second time are counted toward graduation and in the grade
point average. Courses i n which higher
grades have been earned may not be
repeated for credit; they may, however,
be audited.
Students who wish t o !ake courses without credit or grade may do so by register-
ing for Audit (V). Such students should
confer with the professor within two
weeks of the beginning of the term to
determine expectations, attendance requirement, etc. If expectations have been
met, the course will be listed on the
student's transcript as having been
audited. If expectations have not been
met, the course will be listed witti a grade
of W (withdrawn).
Full-time students may audit a course
without charge. The charge for part-time
students i s listed under Expenses.
Dean's List
The Dean's List i s composed of students
whose grade point average for a semester
is 3.5 or better based on a minimum of
three full courses (or equivalent) graded
on the traditional grading system, with no
incompletes in courses offered for credit.
The Dean's List i s published in the Augsburg College Now, and students receive a
letter of commendation from the Dean of
the College.
Graduation with Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined
as follows:

In order to qualify for graduation with
distinction transfer students must have
completed two years (fourteen graded
courses) of work at Augsburg College.
l ndependent Study
Independent study programs are offered
by many departments in the College.
These programs are often available to
conscientious students who can demonstrate sufficient background and preparation in a given field to carry out work on
an independent basis. Students interested
in registering for independent study must
first secure permission from the faculty
member who will direct the study as well
as from the department involved.
A student who registers for independent
study should normally expect to complete
it in one semester but may extend it into
the next term by permission of the instructor. In such cases, a grade of X is
given at the end of the first term, and the
student will register again for the course
in order to receive the final grade.
A maximum of two courses in Independent Study and/or Directed Study may
count toward the 35 courses required for
the degree.
In the Five College Cooperative Program,
students may cross-register for independent studies only when the major field in
which the independent study is proposed
i s not available on their home campus.
Requests for exceptions to this policy
should be made directly to their own
academic dean. The student will be
charged for any special costs attached to
independent study by the host campus.
Veterans
Augsburg College i s approved by the
State Approving Agency for Veterans
Training.
Veterans should consultwith the Officeof
the Registrar regarding completion of the
enrollment certificate and the forwarding
of other information to the Veterans
Administration.
Students registered for three or more
courses are classifiedas full-time students.
It i s the responsibility of each veteran to
report any change in registration and/or
academic load to the Office of the
Registrar.
Veterans will be referred to the State
Approving Agency after any period of two
consecutive terms in which they did not
earn a minimum of three courses per
term. An incomplete grade (I) may be
given only i n the case of extreme
emergency. See section on Grading.
Grade reports are issued to students following each term.
A non-punitive grade which brings a
veteran's academic load for the term
below three courses will be reported to
the Veterans Administration. Veterans
will need to meet the requirements of the
Veterans Administration regarding repayment of educational assistance funds
received.

A Greeting from the President
I am pleased to know of your interest in Augsburg College’s exciting and innovative graduate programs. You are part of a
select and discerning group of professionals who seek to find a graduate program that combines an excellent curriculum,
a values-based approach to work, a talented and experienced faculty, and program formats that meet the needs of busy
and successful people. Augsburg College’s graduate-level programs in Business Administration, Education, Leadership,
Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, and Social Work are distinguished by the opportunities they provide students to expand decision-making and strategic skills. Beginning in the fall of 2010, Augsburg is proud to offer its inaugural doctoral
degree program—the Doctor in Nursing Practice program.
Augsburg College is characterized by a strong mission: Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens,
thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged
community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran church, and shaped by its
urban and global settings.
For our graduate programs, this mission helps to shape an innovative educational experience that features an expansive
perspective on social responsibility, economic realities, business initiative, and environmental sustainability.
At Augsburg College, we believe that our distinctive educational purpose is to help you, the individual student, find your
calling at work and in the world. The Augsburg graduate programs are designed to offer you quality educational experiences, personal attention, and opportunities to expand your personal and professional talents and skills. We are confident
that our graduates are prepared for leadership in our ever-changing global society, the hallmark of an Augsburg degree.
Sincerely,
Paul C. Pribbenow
President, Augsburg College
Augsburg College I 3
Greetings from the Academic Affairs Office
Welcome to our graduate programs. We are committed to education that prepares people for leadership in their communities and places of work. We believe that the liberal and professional arts and sciences form the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow.
Our locations in the vital metropolitan areas of Minneapolis/St. Paul and Rochester offer exciting and challenging field
experiences for courses that include real-life learning through academic internships, experiential education, and cultural
enrichment. The Twin Cities and Rochester become extended campuses for Augsburg students. Also, the diversity in our
campus community ensures that our graduates are prepared for the range of experiences and perspectives that characterize today’s global environment.
When you join Augsburg you become part of a community that offers lifelong learning opportunities in state-of-the-art
classrooms, with accessible libraries and dedicated faculty and staff. You join a body of experienced people who quickly
form your network of employer connections and career opportunities. We encourage our alumni to become your mentors and build on our city connections through public events, including our convocations and Advent Vespers.
All our programs share distinctive qualities, including our commitment and mission to be of service, with one another
and to our neighbors. We expect our graduates to have their eyes on the world as they develop their identity as global citizens, with a sense of responsibility to participate in socially- and economically-sustainable development. We hope that at
some time during your degree, you’ll explore the opportunities to participate in an international learning experience—for
example, travel seminars to our global campuses in Central America, Mexico, and Namibia, and opportunities to meet
visiting students and faculty members from our partner institutions in Norway, Germany, Finland, and Slovenia. Inspired
by the faith of our Lutheran founders to be inclusive to the early immigrants who came to Augsburg’s doors, we welcome
a diversity of cultures and faiths.
Although each graduate program has its own “neighborhood” and unique features, we encourage interdisciplinary
courses and opportunities for you to study with colleagues across disciplines. We encourage both “horizontal” initiatives—i.e., cross-program collaboration—as well as “vertical” initiatives—engaging our undergraduate students to consider graduate work. This means that sometimes you may be encouraging classmates who are just beginning to imagine a
graduate degree.
We are companions on your journey in fulfilling your dream of a graduate degree and we cannot wait to meet you.
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Farley

and Dean of the College

Augsburg Today
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian
Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wis., and
moved to Minneapolis in 1872. A short history of Augsburg
College can be found at www.augsburg.edu/about/history.html
Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and
dedication of its founders who believed:
• Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically
and broadly about the world and the work we do in it;
• An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in
community and centers of faith;
• The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment.
The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the
phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.”
Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a
complex global society.
Degrees Offered
Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences
is offered on both a traditional weekday schedule and a nontraditional weekend and evening schedule. Augsburg offers
Dual degrees:
BA in accounting/MAL—see p. 40
MSW/MBA—see p. 58 and 76
MSW/MA in theology, with Luther Seminary—see p. 75
A Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s graduate programs is participation in a community of adult learners. This community
is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety
of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages students to make use of
all College facilities such as Lindell Library, the Kennedy Center, and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College
activities such as music and dramatic presentations and
athletic events.
Graduate Faculty
The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and
Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and
commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate
or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching and service
to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching.
Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories.
Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.

FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of
1974 as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Augsburg College understands
About Augsburg College
that no information other than “directory information” can be
released without the written permission of the student. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the official
personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. For example, this means that faculty or others cannot write letters of
support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written permission is given by the student to release non-“directory information.” It is not sufficient to ask
for letters of recommendation.
In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following:
Right to inspect and review education records
You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of
your education records maintained by or at Augsburg College.
You must request to review your education records in writing,
with your signature. The College will respond in a reasonable
time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request.
Right to request amendment of education records
You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an
education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the
record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter
your education records as you requested.
Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information
You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that
FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize disclosure without your permission.
One exception which permits disclosure without consent is
disclosure to school officials with legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in
an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel
and health staff); person or company with whom the College
has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection
agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees, or a student
serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or
grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education
record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.
carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold
directory information. Should you decide to inform Augsburg
College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused.
“Directory information” includes the following:
• The student’s name;
• The student’s address;
• The student’s telephone number;
• The student’s e-mail address;
• The student’s date and place of birth;
• The student’s major and minor field of study;
• The student’s academic class level;
• The student’s enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT);
• The student’s participation in officially recognized activities
and sports;
• The student’s degrees and awards received;
• The weight and height of members of athletic teams;
• The student’s dates of attendance;
• The most recent previous educational agency or institution
attended by the student; and
• The student’s photograph.
Augsburg College will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg
assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such
information be withheld. The Office of the Registrar must be
notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory
Information. If the notice is not received by the registrar prior
to Sept. 15 (or within 10 school days of the start of a subsequent term for a new student), it will be assumed that all Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder of the
current academic year. A new notice for withholding disclosure must be completed each academic year.
Right to complain to FERPA Office
You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. S.W., Washington, D.C.,
20202-4605, concerning Augsburg’s failure to comply with
FERPA.
Reporting Educational Information
Letters of reference must be requested in writing and explicitly indicate what information may be reported in the letter.
Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information”
FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those
categories of personally identifiable information that may be
released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College
without notification of the request or disclosure to the student.
Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of
the directory information listed below. Please consider very

Academic Programs and Policies
Academic Programs and Policies
Academic Calendars
Most of our graduate programs meet on a trimester calendar.
Physician Assistant Studies classes meet on a semester day
schedule.
The official academic calendars for individual programs can
be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change.
Academic Policies
The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American
Association of University Professors and the Association of
American Colleges.
Academic Honesty
A college is a community of learners whose relationship relies
on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity and
credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg College community.
Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a College
requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student pledging to
abide by the College’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. (See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide at
www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/)
Academic Evaluation
Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be
based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0
achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for
details of field study and special projects. Students must achieve
a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students
must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy.
The numeric grade point definition for Graduate Studies is:
4.0 grade points
Achieves highest standards of excellence
3.5 grade points
Achieves above acceptable standards
3.0 grade points
Meets acceptable standards
2.5 grade points
Meets minimum standards
2.0–0.0 grade points Unacceptable performance
P
Represents work at 3.0 or higher (not counted in grade
point average)
N No credit (not counted in grade point average)
V Audit
W Withdrawn
I
Incomplete
X In progress, extended beyond term of registration
Withdrawn Status
W—Grade given when a student withdraws from a course
after the deadline without notation on the record
Graduate Catalog I 12
Incomplete (I) Grades
An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor
grants permission after determining that a student emergency
may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive
an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if
they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements.
To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Office of the Registrar that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work
required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms
and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the
same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade.
The student must complete the outstanding work in enough
time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the
filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic
term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by
the specified date of the following academic term, the grade
for the course becomes 0.0.
Academic Probation
Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade
point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following
term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored
in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate
students in the Physician Assistan must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy.
Attendance Policy
Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any
course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation
may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students
to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements
to address the needs of particular courses, individual students,
or various learning styles.
Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of
emergency, when prior notification is not possible, students
must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible.
Continuation Policy for Thesis or Final Project (effective
in fall 2010)
Following the initial registration term for the final (or summative or capstone) project, students will be automatically
registered for continuation course 999 each trimester for up to
15 trimesters or until a grade for the completion course is
submitted by the project adviser. Continuation course 999
maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, in-
Academic Programs and Policies
cluding library, AugNet, and parking privileges. This registration will result in a Campus Access Fee of $35 (subject to
change as costs increase) per trimester.
Doctor of Nursing Practice—For information about course
credits and contact hours for the Doctor of Nursing program,
see p. 49.
Automatic registration will occur for up to five years or 15
terms. At the end of this time, the course grade will change
from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project
after receiving a failing grade must meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program.
Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional
course work and will need to pay full tuition for all additional
courses and to repeat the final project course. If/when the
final project course is completed, the new grade would supersede the previous grade.
Degree Requirements
Students may withdraw from the College, and thus from continuation course 999 and the final project course, at any point
during the continuation period and receive a W notation on
the transcript for the final project course. Following a withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program.
Students may be subject to additional coursework.
An accounts receivable hold will be placed on the student’s
account if a collegewide $250 unpaid threshold is reached.
The threshold will adjust with the practices of the Student Accounts Office. If a student owes more than the threshold
amount, the registrar’s office will not continue to automatically enroll the student in continuation 999. The registrar’s office and the Student Accounts Office will inform the student,
the program director, and coordinator that the student must
pay the account (including the late fee). At this point coordinators and/or program directors will communicate with the
student and the faculty adviser and, if necessary, request that
the faculty adviser submit a grade change of N. The student
also may elect to withdraw from the College. If the grade
change has not been submitted within one term, the program
director will submit the grade change of N.
This policy is effective as of September 2010. Students will
sign a contract outlining the terms of the continuation policy,
which will be kept on file with the program and in the Office
of the Registrar. Accumulated charges stand for current students, but beginning in fall 2010 students will be charged $35
per term. The Enrollment Center will work with students, as
needed, who are currently in the continuation phase and who
have accumulated a debt higher than the $250 threshold.
Course credit and contact hours
A full credit course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or
six quarter credits. Each full course on the trimester schedule
meets for approximately 28 contact hours (MSW trimesters
meet for 32 hours, and the PA weekday semester schedule is
approximately 45 hours) with the expectation of substantial
independent and group study offered through the web-based
electronic course management system.
To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students
must achieve the following:
• Successful completion of all required courses
• A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students
must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy.
• Successful completion of all degree requirements within
the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed continuation agreement with Augsburg College.
Dismissal from the College
A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her
graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more
terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the
student to continue in the program may be worked out with
the program director.
Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of
behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the
College.
Dismissal Appeals Process
A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the
College’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate
negatively affected the outcome.
The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard
copy of the statement of appeal to the Assistant Vice President
of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate Studies (AVP-Graduate Studies); email is not acceptable. The statement must
identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The statement of appeal will be
the only basis of the student’s appeal. The AVP-Graduate
Studies must receive the student’s statement of appeal within
14 calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal.
The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the statement
of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must
submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within
15 business days of the date that the statement was received
by the AVP-Graduate Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVP-Graduate
Studies. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the
program’s response to the student.
The AVP-Graduate Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the AVP-Graduate Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty
members (one from programs not named in the appeal: Social
Work, Education, Physician Assistant Studies, Nursing, Business, Leadership).
Augsburg College I 13
Academic Programs and Policies
The Program Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its
hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s
statement of response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures
and ask questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each
bring a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg College faculty member, staff member, or student). The
role of the third party representative is to provide support to
the student or the program representative, not to serve as an
advocate during the meeting.
Dropping Courses or Withdrawing
Students who enroll in courses but later decide not to attend
must formally drop their courses through the registrar’s office
prior to the start of classes to avoid being charged for those
courses. Students who do not properly drop courses will be
responsible for the tuition, regardless of non-attendance.
Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through
AugNet Records and Registration or in person at the Enrollment Center during hours of operation. If you need assistance
with this, contact your program faculty at least two days in
advance of the start of classes.
Independent Study
Students may request to complete an independent study
course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty
sponsor is required for an independent study project, and
project proposals must be approved by the program director
in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may
not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered in
the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if
approved). A special independent study registration form is
required and is available at the Enrollment Center.
Terms of Non-attendance
Students who interrupt their program enrollment for longer
than one semester or three trimesters must readmit to the
College and program to resume their degree program. For an
absence of any length, students should coordinate with their
program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of program
schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that
students meet with their adviser and obtain the advice of their
director.
Evaluation of Transfer Credit
Students may petition the program director for transfer credit
to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit will
be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to
provide appropriate documentation regarding previous
coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript,
course description, and syllabus. In order to be considered for
transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college
or university and graded 3.0/B or better. Courses must have
been taken at the graduate level and course content must be
comparable to program requirements at Augsburg.
Graduate Catalog I 14
The maximum number of course credits that can be transferred to these program is as follows:
Master of Arts in Education (2.0)
Master of Arts in Leadership (2.0)
Master of Arts in Nursing (3.0)
Master of Business Administration (6.0)
Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator)
Master of Social Work (8.0)
Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester
hours or six quarter hours. Therefore, transfer credits that are
reported to Augsburg as semester or quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by dividing by four or six
respectively.
Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded
on the student’s transcript. Grades and gradepoints from
other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not
included in the student’s cumulative grade point average.
Student Rights
The College has adopted a statement of student rights and responsibilities and has provided for due process in the matter
of disciplinary action, grievances, and grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg Student Guide, at
www.augsburg.edu/studentguide. Students have a right to experience education without discrimination.
Grievance Procedures Involving Augsburg College Faculty Members and Students
Part I—Introduction/Preface
Augsburg College is committed to a policy of treating fairly all
members of the college community in regard to their personal
and professional concerns. However, times do occur in which
students think they have been mistreated. This procedure is
provided in order to ensure that students are aware of the way
in which their problems with faculty members can be resolved
informally and to provide a more formal conciliation process
when needed. Each student must be given adequate opportunity to bring problems to the attention of the faculty with the
assurance that each will be given fair treatment. The faculty
member must be fully informed of the allegations and given
an opportunity to respond to them in a fair and reasonable
manner.
Definition of Grievance
A grievance is defined as dissatisfaction occurring when a student believes that any conduct or condition affecting her/him
is unjust or inequitable, or creates unnecessary hardship. Such
grievances include, but are not limited to a violation, misinterpretation, or inequitable application of an academic rule, regulation, or policy of the College or prejudicial, capricious, or
manifestly unjust academic evaluation.
Academic Programs and Policies
College policies and procedures that do not come within the
scope of the Grievance Procedures are the sexual harassment
policy, the sexual violence policy, the Committee on Financial
Petitions, Discipline Process, and Academic Standing.
Time Limits
Time limits will include only business days (M–F) for the program in which the student was enrolled. (Weekends, and vacation days are not included; summer may not be included
depending on the student’s program.)
Part II—Informal Process
It is always the student’s responsibility to know these procedures and timelines and to follow them.
A. Any time a student feels that she/he has been mistreated by
a faculty member, the student should contact the faculty
member to discuss the problem and attempt to resolve it.
B. If no mutually satisfactory solution can be reached with the
faculty member or if, in unusual circumstances, the student
prefers not to confer with the faculty member, the student
should discuss the problem with the department chairperson
of the faculty member and attempt resolution of the problem.
C. If the problem cannot be resolved in discussions with the
faculty member or department chairperson, or if the faculty
member and the department chairperson are the same individual, the student may contact the vice president of academic
affairs and dean of the College.
• In unusual circumstances, the time limit may be extended
by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the
College. A grievant or respondent must submit a written
request for such extension before the end of the time limit.
If the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the
College thinks the extension is warranted, the Dean will
notify all concerned persons in writing.
E. If the grievance has been resolved, either by agreement or
by expiration of the time limits, a copy of the informal grievance and statements of the resolution will be kept by the vice
president of academic affairs and dean of the College for one
year. Neither a copy of nor any reference to the grievance will
be placed in the personnel file of the respondent.
If these informal discussions do not resolve the problem to
the satisfaction of the student, a more formal conciliation procedure is available in Part III of this document. Note: A student must file a written grievance, per below, within five days
after completion of the informal process
Part III—Formal Process Preface
If a student has a grievance with a faculty member that has
not been resolved through the Informal Grievance Process described in Part II of this document, the student may then seek
resolution through formal procedures.
For a complete copy of the procedures, contact the dean’s office, Academic Affairs.
D. The student must begin the Informal Grievance process
within 15 days of the conduct giving rise to the grievance, by
submitting an Informal Grievance Form to the vice president
of academic affairs and dean of the College.
• The time limit to begin the Informal Grievance process for
a grade appeal will be 30 days from the last published finals
date for the relevant term. It is the responsibility of the student to maintain a correct and current address on file with
the registrar.
• If the student could not reasonably be expected to be aware
of the conduct when it occurred, the student will have 15
days to file the grievance from the date on which the student could reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct or condition that is the basis for the grievance. It is
the responsibility of the student to establish the reasonableness of such non–awareness. The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College will determine if this
paragraph applies to a grievant.
• The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College and the student must ensure the informal process is
completed in 20 days. (See Part I for definition of time
limits.)

Proof of English Competency
The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is required for all students for whom English is a secondary language, except those who have a four-year degree from a U.S.
institution with a minimum of two years of successful academic work in the U.S. (seven or more courses).
In order to receive an F-1 visa, federal regulations require international applicants to be sufficiently proficient in English
to pursue a full course of study.
To fulfill this requirement Augsburg graduate programs require international applicants to submit an official score report from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
with a minimum score of 100 (iBT), 250 (CBT) or 600 (PBT).
The TOEFL is waived for applicants who have a four-year degree from a U.S. institution with a minimum of two years of
successful academic work completed in the U.S. (seven or
more courses).
Graduate Catalog I 16
Admission of International Students
Augsburg College graduate programs encourage qualified applicants from other countries to apply.
An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a “full
course of study” to achieve a specific educational or professional objective at an academic institution in the United States
that has been designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of study to such students, and
has been enrolled in SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System).
A student acquires F-1 status using form I-20, issued by a
DHS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in
one of two ways: 1) if the student is abroad, by entering the
United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a U.S.
consulate, or 2) if the student is already in the United States
and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the I-20 to USCIS
(United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an
application for change of nonimmigrant status.
A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer
from another DHS-approved school to Augsburg by following
the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations.
In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for
a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students must
also comply with the following:
A. Foreign Credential Evaluation
Augsburg requires foreign credential evaluation for any transcript(s) from an institution outside of the United States. This
evaluation should include the following:
• Analysis of credentials—to determine if your degree is
equivalent to an accredited U.S. bachelor’s degree.
• Course-by-course evaluation—to show your complete
course listing with credit values and grades received for
each course.
• Calculation of grade point average—to demonstrate your
cumulative grade point average using the standard U.S.
grading system, i.e., A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0.
• Translation to English (if applicable)
Graduate Admissions
The evaluation report must be sent directly to Augsburg’s
Adult and Graduate Admissions Office. Refer to World Education Services at http://wes.org for direction on transcript evaluation.
B. Proof of Financial Support
International applicants must provide reliable documentation
that they have financial resources adequate to meet expenses
for the duration of their academic program, which include tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, health insurance, personal expenses, and living expenses for
dependents (if applicable).
Funds may come from any dependable source, including
scholarships, fellowships, sponsoring agencies, personal
funds, or funds from the student’s family. Documentation of
scholarships and fellowships may be in the form of an official
award letter from the school or sponsoring agency; documentation of personal or family funds should be on bank letterhead stationery, or in the form of a legally binding affidavit.
Government Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, or Augsburg’s
Financial Sponsorship form can be used to document support
being provided by a U.S. citizen or U.S. legal permanent resident. All financial documents such as bank statements must
be dated within three months prior to the date of application.
Health Insurance
All F-1 international students and their dependents (if applicable) are required to have adequate health insurance coverage for the duration of their program. International students
will be enrolled in the Augsburg international student plan
unless they fill out a waiver verifying proof of coverage
through an alternative provider for the same period.

the date that the drop/add form is processed.
The refund schedule is effective whether or not a student has
attended classes. All refunds of charges will be applied to the
student account and all adjustments for aid, loans, fines, deposits, etc. will be made before eligibility for a cash refund of
any resulting credit balance is determined. Allow two weeks
for a refund.
The refund is a percentage of the full tuition charged, not a
percentage of any deposit paid toward tuition, e.g. deposits
made under the employer reimbursement payment plan.

Master of Arts in Education
Master of Arts in Education
We are pleased with your interest in the Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program. Augsburg has a long history in
teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and elsewhere. We know that Augsburg
College is an excellent choice for you to pursue your teaching dreams and goals—and here’s why.
OUR PHILOSOPHY The Education Department program themes include relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity
and equity, and leadership. You can read about each theme on the following page, but for the MAE program, I want to
highlight one of the program themes—leadership. As this program theme suggests, we expect our students to leave our
programs as responsive, knowledgeable teachers prepared to exercise leadership in the classroom and, eventually, the
school and community.
Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through a combination of course content, field experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students will leave our programs as collaborative and capable teachers
committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world.
OUR FACULTY Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors,
all of whom have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all fulltime faculty members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision,
volunteer work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do. We
value good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers.
OUR ACCESSIBILITY We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and
personal responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings and weekends to allow you to manage these responsibilities while pursuing your goals. You will need to be available during the weekday for the challenge and responsibility
of field experiences, but education coursework is accessible through the weekend and evening schedules.
As a student in Augsburg’s Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly qualified teacher—the
teacher you can become.

Master of Arts in Education
Education Department Mission
The mission of the Augsburg Education Department is to develop responsive, knowledgeable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world.
Program Themes
Responsive, knowledgeable teachers understand the dynamic
interaction among relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. These four interrelated program themes provide lenses through which we filter our
practice.
Relationships
Learning is relational and communal. Responsive teachers create significant relationships with their students, colleagues,
and community partners by developing learning communities.
These nurturing learning communities provide a safe, trustworthy place where challenging and engaging questions can
be considered. We model the kinds of learning communities
that we expect our graduates to create. We share with our students a learning model that connects content, theory, and
practice in an ongoing cycle. Students and their learning are
the focus for responsive teachers. Therefore we embrace and
foster a progressive and constructivist orientation.
Reflection and Inquiry
Responsive teachers are reflective practitioners who are students of teaching and learning. Providing numerous frameworks through which to filter our experience encourages
intentional and thoughtful inquiry. Through field placements,
service learning, generative questions, and classroom experiences, students and faculty develop their perspectives about
teaching and learning. Critical reflection allows us to examine
content, theory, and practice in ways that transform our practice. We think it is important to understand and learn how to
manage the many polarities inherent in the teaching and
learning process.
Diversity and Equity
Responsive teachers embrace diversity and intentionally work
to ensure that all learners, especially those who for some reason have been marginalized, learn and develop in powerful
ways. We continually reflect on what it means to be a “school
in the city.” We recognize that each student is unique, shaped
by culture and experience; therefore, differentiating instruction is essential. The perspective of multiple intelligences,
learning style theory and teaching for understanding help us
differentiate and enable us to provide choice, variety, and flexibility. Responsive teachers believe that all students can learn.
They also have a sense of efficacy and believe that they can
help all students learn.
Leadership
Responsive teachers recognize that becoming a learning leader
is a developmental process, which begins in pre-service edu-
cation and continues throughout one’s career. Teachers serve
as leaders within the classroom, and with experience, increased confidence, and professional development become
leaders within the school, the district, and the community.
Teacher leaders view themselves as lifelong learners. They become role models committed to their profession as a vocation
rather than a job. Emerging teacher leaders keep student
learning at the center of their work while advocating for instructional innovation, constructivist curricular development,
and systemic change.
Master of Arts in Education Conceptual
Framework
Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our
graduate licensure and degree completion programs. The
Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are
leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their institutions and communities.
The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the combined
undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second,
in the degree completion component, students are required to
include coursework focused on leadership and study aspects
of leadership as part of their degree program. Third, the final
project—be it an action research, a leadership application
project, or the performance assessment course—gives students the opportunity to study an issue of concern and, supported by research, define a means for addressing it.
Program Overview
The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) is designed to provide
a teaching license as part of a master’s degree program. K-12
initial teaching licenses offered at Augsburg include:
• Elementary education (K-6), with or without a middle
school specialty area endorsement in math, communication
arts, social studies, or science. Also available is the pre-primary endorsement to the elementary license.
• Secondary education (5-12 and K-12) in social studies,
communication arts/literature, visual arts, health, mathematics, music, and physical education; and 9-12 in biology,
chemistry, and physics.
• K-12 special education, emotional and behavioral disabilities
• K-12 special education, learning disabilities
Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE
degree through the following four licensure endorsement options:
• Pre-Kindergarten endorsement
• K-12 special education: emotional and behavioral disabilities
• K-12 special education: learning disabilities
• K-12 reading endorsement (This program is under revision.
Consult the Education Department for current status.)
Augsburg College I 21
Master of Arts in Education
All teachers seeking licensure through Augsburg must take
and pass all tests required by the state of Minnesota for licensure.
The MAE degree is also available without a license but with
an education core.
Accreditations and Approvals
Augsburg College is accredited by:
• The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools
• National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education
Augsburg College is approved by the Minnesota Board of
Teaching.
For a complete list of accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see page 9.
area endorsements, 5-12 social studies, 5-12 communication
arts, and K-12 art.
Additional licenses in the following areas are available
through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, and
weekend schedules: biology, chemistry, health, mathematics,
music, physical education, and physics. For these licenses, the
education and degree completion courses are taken during the
weekend and weekday evenings while some if not all of the
content area courses are taken during the weekday.
The weekend schedule is comprised of three trimesters spread
from early September through late June. In general, classes are
held every other weekend. The weekday schedule is comprised of two semesters spread from early September through
late April. Classes offered during the weekday meet two or
three times per week. Classes offered jointly between weekday
and weekend meet on a weekly basis in the evening. The official academic calendars can be found at
www.augsburg.edu/registrar.
Program Structure
The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program is made up
of a core of education licensure courses coupled with a degree
completion option. Courses in the degree completion phase
are drawn from the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) and
graduate courses in education. Most students in the MAE program pursue a K-12 teaching license as part of their program
plan. The MAE degree is also open to students who do not
want a teaching license but do want a background in education and leadership.
The MAE degree requires 9.0 or 10.0 Augsburg graduate level
courses, depending on the degree completion option. In addition, several courses at the undergraduate level are required
for licensure. Only courses taken at the graduate level apply
towards the MAE degree.
Course Credit
A full-credit graduate or undergraduate course (1.0) is equal
to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course
offered within the weekend schedule meets for 28 hours with
the expectation of substantial independent study outside of
class.
Schedule
The majority of the education courses in the MAE licensure
and degree programs are offered through the weekend schedule. Some education courses and many undergraduate content
area courses are offered on a weekday evening schedule. The
MAL degree completion courses are offered primarily through
the weekend schedule. Summer session courses are offered
weekdays and weekday evenings.
The following teaching licenses are available entirely
through the weekday evening and weekend schedule: elementary education, middle school and preprimary specialty

Psychological and philosophical dimensions of communication through the use of instructional technology. Selection,
preparation, production, and evaluation of effective audio
and/or visual technology for teaching/learning situations.
Undergraduate Liberal Arts Requirements
The number of supporting content area courses required for
licensure depends upon the courses completed as part of the
bachelor’s degree and/or other coursework. Requirements are
determined by Minnesota licensure standards for specific college-level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary licensure. Specific
requirements are on file in the Education Department.
Minnesota licensure standards allow for optional subject area
endorsements in communication arts/literature, social studies,
math, and science. The optional pre-K endorsement is also
available. Specific requirements for these endorsements are on
file in the Education Department.
Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or
better was achieved. The Education Department and the content area departments determine the courses that are accepted.
Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to
make these determinations. Courses that are older than five
years are judged on a case-by-case basis. Graduate coursework
accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree. The program has limits on the
amount and type of courses that are accepted. Grades of B or
better are required for transfer consideration. See the MAE
program director for approval of graduate coursework accepted in transfer.

ECE 488 Student Teaching in a Pre-Kindergarten
Classroom
K-12 and 5-12 Secondary Education
K-12 and 5-12 licensures in several content areas are offered
through a combination of graduate and undergraduate coursework. K-12 licenses prepare teachers to teach a content area
across elementary, middle school, and high school. Licenses
for grades 5- 12 prepare teachers to teach at the middle and
high school levels. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500
and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet MAE admissions criteria.
The following content area majors are offered almost entirely
on weekends and weekday evenings: communication arts/literature, history or economics or psychology or sociology (all
for social studies), art. Students seeking 5–12 licensure in social studies must complete a broad-based core of courses in
the social studies in addition to a social science major. Education courses for these licenses are also taken during weekends
and weekday evenings.
The following content area majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry,
physics, health, physical education, music, and mathematics.
Students seeking licensure in any of these areas will likely
need to take additional content courses in the weekday schedule. Students can obtain a 9–12 license in physics, chemistry,
or biology and have the option of adding the 5–8 general science to the 9–12 license. Students also can obtain the 5–8
general science license without the 9–12 license. Education
courses for these licenses are taken during weekends and
weekday evenings.
Licensure Requirements
The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure; four to six of them also may be taken at the graduate
level and applied toward the master’s degree in education.

approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences.
Undergraduate Content Area Requirements
The equivalent of a major in the licensure content area is required for K-12 and 5-12 licenses. Students who have majored
in a field in which we offer licensure must have their previous
coursework evaluated by the major department at Augsburg.
Two or more content area courses tied to Minnesota licensure
standards are generally required, even with a completed academic major.
Previous coursework is evaluated by the content area department and accepted if it meets Minnesota licensure standards
and if a grade of C or better was achieved. Coursework older
than five years is judged on a case-by-case basis. Specific
course requirements for each content area are on file in the
Education Department.
Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is
not automatically accepted into the MAE degree program. See
the MAE program director for approval to use graduate level
transfer courses in the degree program.

Special Education
There are two licensure options in the K–12 Special Education
program: emotional/behavioral disabilities (EBD) and learning
disabilities (LD). Both programs qualify students to teach in
special education programs and positions; many students get
licensure in both.
The MAE program with licensure in special education is based
on an innovative internship model that allows students employed in EBD and/or LD classrooms to fulfill a portion of
their special education field experience requirements while
they work. Students not employed in these settings are expected to complete a significant number of volunteer hours in
special education settings. All must complete field placements
or student teaching in EBD and/or LD classrooms across elementary, middle school, and high school. Specific information
on field experience requirements is available from the Education Department.
Also available is the Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort—This graduate licensure program in Special Education: EBD/LD is designed and taught from an American
Indian perspective. It is offered in collaboration with the University of Minnesota-Duluth as a hybrid (partly face-to-face
and partly online) cohort program. The licensure courses can
be applied towards the MAE degree. See the Education Department and www.augsburg/edu/mae/academics/ais_focus.html
for more information. The course descriptions are
included below.
The EBD/LD licensure programs are offered through the
weekend trimester schedule. The Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort program is offered through the semester schedule.

Introducing Augsburg College
About Augsburg
About Augsburg
History
At Augsburg College, we believe that the college experience
should be a time of exploration, of discovery, of new experiences, and new possibilities. We also believe that a liberal
arts education is the best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow.
Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the
mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think
critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively.
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian
Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith
presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530.
Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wis., and
moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were
enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879.
Discovering Your Gifts and Talents
The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg Core
Curriculum—designed to prepare students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens. Through “Search for
Meaning” courses, students explore their own unique gifts
and interests and find where their own talents intersect with
the needs of our global society.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the
skills that will serve for a lifetime: writing, speaking, critical
thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a few.
Thanks to Augsburg’s prime location in the heart of a
thriving metropolitan area, many courses are able to offer
rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations
through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense,
the resources of the Twin Cities are an extended campus for
Augsburg students.
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
August Weenaas was Augsburg’s first president (1869-1876).
Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway—
Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly
articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian
Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such
“college” studies that would prepare students for theological
study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train
ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological
students; and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is
also practical.
Augsburg’s next two presidents also emphatically
rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment
to church and community has been Augsburg’s theme for
more than 130 years.
Education for Service
Augsburg offers more than 50 majors—or you can create
your own major, either on campus or through the Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See page 40 for a complete list of majors and minors.) This five-college consortium
allows day program students to take courses on other campuses without charge while a full-time student at Augsburg.
The ACTC includes Augsburg College, St. Catherine
University, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the
University of St. Thomas.
Weekend College offers 17 majors and a number of
certificate programs.
Keeping the vision of the democratic college, Georg
Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second president (1876-1907), required
students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early
expression to the concept of Augsburg’s motto, “Education
for Service.”
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of
Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church
was a group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change
made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the
small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still
important primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
Mission Statement
The Focus Changed
Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to
make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to
the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission:
This attitude began to change after World War I. In 1911,
George Sverdrup, Jr., became president. He worked to
develop college departments with an appeal to a broader
range of students than just those intending to be ministers.
Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of
longtime dean of women, Gerda Mortensen.
The College’s mission assumed a double character:
ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard
Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president
(1938-1962). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles
Selection from over 50 Majors
“Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by
an engaged community that is committed to intentional
diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is
defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional
studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran
church, and shaped by its urban and global settings.”

A College of the Church
I Augsburg College 2010-2011
About Augsburg
made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life.
After World War II, Augsburg leaders made vigorous
efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the
College was a larger part of the institution than the seminary
and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college program based on general
education requirements and elective majors. Full accreditation of the College was achieved in 1954.
A study in 1962 defined the College’s mission as serving
the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free
Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological
Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when
the Lutheran Free Church merged with the American
Lutheran Church. Subsequently, the American Lutheran
Church merged with two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to
form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
A College in the City
Under the leadership of President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) Augsburg became a vital and integral part of the city.
The College began to reach out to nontraditional student
populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all students. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall,
Mortensen Hall, Urness Hall, Christensen Center, Ice Arena,
and Murphy Place.
Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to
1997. He guided Augsburg’s commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment
and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources
of the city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some of
the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting
two graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events,
increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss, Lobeck,
Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell
Family Library.
Dr. William V. Frame became president in August 1997
and retired in 2006. Under his leadership, the College sharpened its identity as a college of the city, providing an education grounded in vocational calling that provides students
both the theoretical learning and the practical experience to
succeed in a global, diverse world.
Dr. Paul C. Pribbenow became president in July 2006.
Under his leadership, the College aims to educate students
of all ages — in the midst of a great city — to be faithful
citizens of the world.
• An Augsburg education should be preparation for service
in community and church;
• Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative,
and successful citizens;
• The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg
students.
The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the
phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.”
Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg
prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a
complex global society.
In addition to Augsburg’s undergraduate program of
liberal arts and sciences, Augsburg offers master’s degree programs in business, education, leadership, nursing, physician
assistant studies, and social work. The College’s first doctoral
program, in nursing practice, has been approved. For information on graduate programs, go to www.augsburg.edu/grad.
Undergraduate education is offered both on weekday
semester programs, and alternate weekend trimester programs. The graduate programs generally follow the trimester
schedule.
In addition to its Minneapolis campus, Augsburg
has a branch campus in Rochester, Minn. and a center in
Bloomington, Minn.
Weekend College
Augsburg’s Weekend College (WEC) provides an educational
opportunity for adults who want to earn a baccalaureate
degree and work or have other commitments during the
week. It is a means by which men and women can gain skills
for professional advancement, prepare for a career change, or
pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal
arts.
Weekend College began in 1982 with 69 students taking
courses in three majors. Eight courses were offered in the
first term. Today, with approximately 1,000 students enrolled
each term and a variety of majors in the liberal arts and professional studies, WEC is one of the largest programs of its
type among Minnesota private colleges.
The Adult Learner
Augsburg’s Weekend College is based on the assumption that
adult students are mature, self-disciplined, and motivated
learners who seek a combination of classroom experience
and individual study. Each course includes periods of concentrated, on-campus study as well as time for independent
study and class preparation.
Augsburg Today
Alternate Weekends
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed:
To meet the needs of nontraditional students, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three-and-a-half to four

About Augsburg
hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday
afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. Laboratory sections or
additional class hours may be scheduled during the week.
WEC students may take from one to four courses each term.
The WEC academic year is divided into three trimesters (fall,
winter, and spring), so that students may complete three
terms in the traditional nine-month academic year.
A Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s Weekend College is
participation in a community of adult learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a
variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of
community interaction, Augsburg encourages WEC students
to make use of College facilities, such as Lindell Library, and
to participate in academic and co-curricular activities, such
as the student newspaper, travel seminars, student organizations, fine arts, networking events, workshops, and convocations. The WEC student body elects its own leaders through
the WEC Student Senate.
Augsburg for Adults
Through the Augsburg for Adults program office, Augsburg
continues its tradition of innovation to meet the needs of
adult students by creating new programs, providing faculty
and staff development in adult learning, and serving adult
and non-traditional students.
Students are recognized as adult learners from age 25 to
60-plus whether they take courses in the traditional day program, the Weekend College program, or any of the graduate
programs. To learn more about graduate studies at Augsburg,
go to www.augsburg.edu/grad.
Weekend College Faculty
The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and
the WEC faculty are full-time Augsburg professors as well as
adjunct faculty who bring professional experience to their
teaching. Most faculty hold a doctorate or other terminal
degree, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their
activities at the College. Professors are involved in social,
professional, and a variety of research activities, but these
support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are
actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program
that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories.
Weekend College’s small classes facilitate the College’s
tradition of close involvement between professors and
students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate
regularly in campus activities.
Rochester campus
Augsburg’s branch campus in Rochester was established in
1998 as a natural extension of the College’s mission and
its expertise in teaching working adults. In Rochester, six
undergraduate majors, plus a certificate program in business
management, are offered.
12
I Augsburg College 2010-2011
The Rochester campus classrooms and offices are located
at Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA), a few blocks south of the
heart of the city. Rochester, a city of about 100,000 residents,
enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior technological
resources.
Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a trimester
schedule, on weekday evenings and on occasional Saturdays,
making them accessible to working adults. Several complete
degree programs are available through the Rochester campus.
In addition, students may work on a variety of other majors
through a combination of Rochester-based courses and
courses taken in the Day or WEC program in Minneapolis.
Students at the Rochester campus are Augsburg College
students. They are supported through an array of e-learning
resources ranging from access to Lindell Library databases to
the use of online course management software. Information
about the Rochester campus is available at www.augsburg.edu/
Rochester or by calling the Rochester office at 507-288-2886.
Partner Hospitals Program
Also within Weekend College, Augsburg offers a bachelor’s
completion degree in nursing for registered nurses at three
area hospitals, making their education convenient to their
workplace. Classes are taught at United Hospital in St. Paul,
with video conferencing of these classes to classrooms in
Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids and Unity Hospital in Fridley.
College of the Third Age
Augsburg demonstrates its commitment to lifelong learning
in part through its College of the Third Age. College of the
Third Age is a teaching-learning service founded more than
30 years ago to serve older adults by encouraging lifelong
learning, fostering interactive discussion, and to introducing
new topics and subjects related to an ever-changing world.
A roster of more than 40 retired, semi-retired, and working
professors teach non-credit seminars for the program, based
upon their areas of expertise.
College of the Third Age partners with organizations
and facilities that serve older adults in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, including churches, synagogues, community
centers, and senior residences. The current catalog lists more
than 200 classes available for group study at partner organizations and facilities. To obtain further information about the
program or to request a catalog, call 612-330-1139 or visit

Undergraduate Admissions
Undergraduate Admissions
Undergraduate Admissions
Augsburg College strives to create a strong, rich, and vibrant
campus community with students representing a large number of backgrounds, viewpoints, experiences, talents, and
cultures.
Selection of students for Augsburg College is based
upon careful consideration of each candidate’s academic
achievement, personal qualities and interests, participation in
activities and employment, and potential for development as
a student and as a graduate of Augsburg College.
Visit the Campus
Because firsthand appraisal of programs, facilities, and academic atmosphere is valuable, first-year and transfer applicants are encouraged to visit the campus and meet with an
admissions counselor. Arrangements may be made to meet
with a member of the faculty and to attend classes when
school is in session.
Augsburg’s undergraduate admissions staff is ready to
help students and families with college planning. Call any
weekday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.—612-330-1001
or toll-free 1-800-788-5678. We’ll answer your questions
and arrange a tour for you (including most Saturday mornings during the school year). The Office of Undergraduate
Admissions is located on the first floor of the Christensen
Center and serves traditional and non-traditional students.
Application Procedures
Day College First-years
Application for Admission—Applicants should complete the
application for admission and the essay and return them to
the Office of Undergraduate Admissions together with the
non-refundable $25 application fee. Students may apply
online for free at www.augsburg.edu/day/apply.html.
Transcripts—An official transcript from the high school is
required of first-year applicants. First-year applicants who are
still high school students at the time of application should
have their most recent transcript sent, followed by a final,
official transcript upon graduation. If the student has taken
college courses, an official transcript from the institutions
should also be sent. General Education Development (GED)
scores may be presented instead of the high school transcript.
Test Scores—First-year applicants are required to submit
results from a college entrance examination. The American
College Test (ACT) is preferred; results from SAT are also
accepted. Test scores recorded on the official high school
transcript are sufficient. Augsburg strongly recommends
completing the writing portion of either the ACT or SAT.
Recommendations—Two letters of academic recommendation are required. If the applicant has been out of school
for several years, a letter may be submitted by a supervisor,
employer, pastor, or co-worker.
Additional Information—If there is personal information that
may have affected the applicant’s previous academic performance, it may be included with the application or discussed
personally with an admissions counselor.
On occasion, the Admissions Committee may defer a
decision on a candidate’s admission until other information
has been received. For example, more recent test scores,
results of the present semester’s coursework, additional letters of recommendation, or writing samples may be requested
by the committee. If any additional credentials are needed,
the Office of Undergraduate Admissions will inform the
candidate.
Notification of Admissions Decision—Augsburg College uses a
“rolling” admissions plan. The first offers of admission are
made in mid-September. After that, students are notified of
the admissions decision usually within two weeks after the
application file is complete and has been evaluated by the
Admissions Committee.
Confirmation of Admission—Accepted students are asked to
make a $150* enrollment deposit to the Office of Under
graduate Admissions. Those students who wish to live in
College housing must also submit a $200 nonrefundable
housing deposit along with the housing contract to the
Residence Life Office.
*Nonrefundable after May 1.
Weekend College
Applicants should complete the application form and return
it along with the $25 nonrefundable application fee to the
Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Students may apply
online for free at www.augsburg.edu/weekend/admissions/.
Transcripts—Official transcripts from all previous postsecondary institutions should be sent directly to the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions. Applicants with less than one
year of previous transferable college work should also have
their official high school transcript sent. The GED test certificate may be presented instead of the high school transcript.
Test Scores—First-year applicants are required to submit
results from a college entrance examination. The American
College Test (ACT) is preferred; results from SAT are also
accepted. Test scores recorded on the official high school
transcript are sufficient. Augsburg strongly recommends
completing the writing portion of either the ACT or SAT.
First-year applicants who have been out of high school
for more than five years do not need to submit an official
test score.
Additional Information—If there is personal information that
may have affected the applicant’s previous academic performance, it may be included with the application or discussed
personally with an admissions counselor. Academic recommendations may be required by the Admissions Committee
Augsburg College 2010-2011

Undergraduate Admissions
before an admission decision is made. On occasion, the
Admissions Committee may also defer a candidate’s admission until other information has been received. For example,
test scores, results of current coursework, additional letters
of recommendation, or writing samples may be requested by
the committee. If any additional credentials are needed, the
Admissions Office will inform the candidate.
Notification of Admissions Decision—Augsburg College uses a
“rolling” admissions plan. Students are notified of the admission decision, usually within two weeks after the application
file is complete and has been evaluated by the Admissions
Committee.
Admission to a major, as well as admission to the
College, is sometimes necessary. Please check with an admissions counselor and department sections of this catalog to see
if admission to the major is required.
Transfer Students
A cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.50 (on
a 4.0 scale) in previous college work is recommended for
admission to the College. No student who falls below the
standards for automatic admission to the College will be considered for admission by the Admissions Committee after the
month prior to the start of the term. Information regarding
transfer credit policies is found in the Academic Information
section of the catalog, beginning on page 36.
Former Students
Day students who have interrupted attendance at Augsburg
College for one semester or more, and WEC/United/
Rochester students who have interrupted attendance at
Augsburg College for three trimesters or more, must apply
for re-admission through the registrar’s office to resume
attendance. Students who have attended other institutions
during their absence from Augsburg must have an official
transcript sent from each institution to the Office of the
Registrar. Returning students do not pay the application fee.
Special Students (Non-Degree)
In some circumstances, people may be admitted as special
students (non-degree) and granted the privilege of enrolling
in courses for credit. Students may request a change in their
degree status by submitting a petition to the registrar’s office.
Students regularly enrolled at another college may take
coursework at Augsburg College as a special student (nondegree). An application form for special-student status is
available from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. To
apply for admission as a special student, submit the completed admission application and academic transcripts to the
Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
Students who have graduated from Augsburg who are
returning to complete a second major will not be awarded
a second degree unless it is a different degree from the first
awarded. Minors are not noted on the transcript if they are
completed after a baccalaureate degree has been awarded.

I Augsburg College 2010-2011
Special Students (Second Degree)
Students who have completed a four-year degree at an
accredited college or university may complete a second
degree at Augsburg College. Second degree requirements include: a minimum of eight course credits taken at
Augsburg, completion of a major, and completion of any
liberal arts requirements not covered by a previous degree.
Depending on the student’s previous degree, completion of a
second major (non-degree) may also be an option.
International Students
International students are a vital part of the Augsburg community. (See International Student Advising on page 32.)
International students should contact the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions for an international student
application and financial requirements. All applicants must
provide proof of financial solvency. Applications must be
completed two months prior to the start of the semester:
June 1 for fall, December 1 for spring.

Other Special Fees (Nonrefundable)
All students receive financial help indirectly, since a quality
liberal arts education costs more than tuition and fees cover.
The College raises that difference in gifts—from alumni,
faculty, staff, parents, churches, friends, foundations, and
endowment income.
However, the primary responsibility for paying for a college education rests on students and their families. Financial
aid is intended to supplement those resources.

Payments
Day college
Semester Fees—Prior to the start of each semester a statement of estimated charges showing basic charges and financial aid credits designated by the Student Financial Services
Office is sent to the student.
Payment Options—Augburg College offers payment plan
options for Day Program students. Information about payment plan options is mailed annually to each student’s
permanent address.
Weekend College
A statement of tuition and fee charges and estimated financial
aid will be mailed to each registered student prior to the start
of each term. For tuition and fee information, please refer to
the financial aid website.
Payment Options—(1) Payment in full at the start of each
term. (2) Employer Reimbursement: Students on this plan
must file an employer reimbursement application form
each academic year, prior to the start of the first class. Once
enrolled in the employer reimbursement payment plan,
students have until 60 days after the end of each term to pay
their term costs in full. There is a $20 per term fee associated
with this payment option. The student is responsible for payment of the balance should the employer not reimburse for
any reason. If the employer offers partial reimbursement, the
non-reimbursed portion of tuition and fees must be paid in
full at the start of the term. (3) Students may also defer payment by enrolling in the College’s third party payment plan
or in a military payment plan if their term costs are to be covered by a third party or through V.A. education benefits, such
as the G.I. Bill. (more details can be found at www.augsburg.
edu/enroll/accounts.html)
Financial Policies
A finance charge is applied at a simple rate of .67 percent per
month on any account with an open balance of 30 days or
more.
Registration is permitted only if the student’s account
for a previous term is paid in full or if the student is making
scheduled payments in accordance with an approved payment plan.
Augsburg College will not release student academic transcripts or graduation diplomas/certificates until all student
accounts are paid in full or, in the case of student loan funds
administered by the College (Federal Perkins Student Loan),
are current according to established repayment schedules and
the loan entrance and exit interviews have been completed.
Refunds
Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be
eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based on the
appropriate refund schedule. Financial aid may be adjusted
for those students who withdraw from the College or drop
course(s) and receive financial assistance.
Students who wish to withdraw from Augsburg should
complete the Withdrawal from College form available
online through the registrar’s website. It must be filled out
completely, signed and turned in to the Enrollment Center.
Students who properly withdraw or change to part-time, who
are dismissed, or who are released from a housing contract
will have their accounts adjusted for tuition and/or room
(except for the minimum deduction of $100 to cover administrative costs) in accordance with the terms of their housing
contract and/or the appropriate tuition refund schedule.
Students are responsible for canceling courses through
the Enrollment Center (or online) in order to be eligible for
any refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible
for all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the
student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed.
The Augsburg College Refund Policy for Day, Weekend, Rochester,
Bloomington, and Graduate Studies.
The refund schedule is based on the percentage of class time
remaining on the date of the student’s official withdrawal
from class. This applies to all students who drop one or more
courses during each term.

balance remains on the student’s account, a credit refund will
be issued at that time.
The refund of charges calculation used is the Augsburg
College Refund Policy stated above.
Students may appeal refund decisions through the
Financial Petition Committee. Petition forms are available
online through the registrar’s website.
Medical refund
If a student is forced to withdraw from one or more courses
in a term due to illness or an accident, the refund will
include the normal refund percentage (based on the regular
refund schedule), plus one-half of the remaining tuition
and fees. This extra medical refund will be considered upon
submission of documentation from the attending doctor, on
letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances. Requests
for medical refunds should be made through the Financial
Petition Committee.
Unofficial Withdrawal
Federal regulations require that records of financial aid recipients who earn failing grades in all their classes be reviewed.
If courses are not completed (e.g. unofficial withdrawal,
stopped attending), the College is required to refund financial aid to the appropriate sources according to federal or
Augsburg refund policies based on the last recorded date of
attendance. Students are responsible for the entire cost of the
term including the portion previously covered by financial
aid should they stop attending. Students are strongly urged
to follow guidelines for complete withdrawal from college.
If there are extenuating circumstances, a petition to have
the cost of tuition refunded can be made. Petition forms are
available online through the registrar’s website.
A student who registers, does not attend any classes, and
does not withdraw may petition to withdraw retroactively.
The student must petition within six months of the end of
term and provide proof of non-attendance. Proof can include,
but is not limited to, statements from each instructor that the
student never attended, or documentation of attendance for
the term at another college or university. If approved, grades
of W will be recorded and charges for the term dropped. The
administrative cancellation fee is $300.

Financial Aid
All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance
must establish financial aid eligibility on an annual basis. This
includes completing the application process as outlined below
and making satisfactory academic progress. In order to maintain eligibility in financial aid programs, students must make
satisfactory academic progress toward the attainment of their
degree or certificate as stipulated in the College catalog and as
published on the Academic Progress Standards for Financial
Aid Recipients webpage www.augsburg.edu/finaid/sap.html.
Financing higher education could be the most significant
investment a person or family makes in a lifetime. Proper
planning and wise choices are important, not only in choosing
a college, but also in the methods used to pay for it. Augsburg
College, through its Enrollment Center, will help students and
their families protect access to a quality Augsburg education
in a time of increasing financial challenge.
Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be
a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time
work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal,
state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid
programs. During the 2009-2010 academic year, more than
eight out of ten students at Augsburg received financial
assistance.
The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid supplements student and family resources.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA),
current tax documents, and the Augsburg Aid form help
determine the amount of assistance for which a student is
eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial
factors as current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational expenses, debts, retirement
needs, and special considerations.
How to Apply
The following are required to process your financial aid
application:
1. Be admitted to Augsburg as a regular student or be a
returning student in good academic standing with the
College.
2. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) or the Renewal FAFSA. Students are encouraged
to file the FAFSA electronically online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Students and their parents may sign the FAFSA electronically
using a PIN issued by the U.S. Department of Education.
Instructions for requesting a PIN can be found at www.fafsa.
ed.gov. Be sure to include the Augsburg College code, 002334,
on your application. Submit your application to the processing agency after January 1. Applications must be filed by
March 1 for priority consideration.
3. Complete the current year Augsburg Aid form, available
at www.augsburg.edu/finaid, and submit it to the Enrollment
Center.
Financing Your Education
4. Submit copies of federal 1040 tax forms for the preceding year (e.g. tax year 2009 to be considered for financial aid
for 2010-2011). Tax forms are required for the student and
parents of dependent students, or spouse of student if filing
separately.

need-based loans that the federal government subsidizes by
paying the interest while the student is in school and during
the grace period.
For the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, interest begins

responsible for all interest. The borrower may choose to
make payments while in school or may defer payments and
allow interest to accrue and be capitalized (added to the balance of the loan).
The interest rate for new borrowers through the
Subsidized Stafford Loan and the Unsubsidized Stafford
Loan, as of July 1, 2009, is a fixed rate of 5.6% and 6.8%,

(minus all other student financial aid). Repayment begins
within 60 days of final disbursement; the interest rate is
a fixed rate of 7.9% and a minimum payment of $50 per
month.
Further information about all student and parent loan
programs can be found online at the Financial Aid website.
Student Employment
Augsburg College provides work opportunities for students.
Assignment is based on financial eligibility and potential
competence in performing the duties assigned. Part-time
work provided by the College is considered financial aid, just
like scholarships, loans, and grants. A maximum of 15 hours
of on-campus employment per week is recommended.
All on-campus work is governed by policies stipulated
in the work contract issued to the student employee for each
placement. Payment is made monthly by check to the student
employee.
Federal College Work Study Program and Minnesota State Work
Study Program—Under these programs the federal or state
government supplies funds on a matching basis with the
College to provide part-time work opportunities.
Student Life
Student Life
Student Life
Augsburg’s mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense. Experiences in the classroom are an important part
of college life, but learning and development also occur in
formal and informal activities of the College and the metropolitan area. Whether students are residents or commuters, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add
dimension to their education.
Campus Ministry
As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual
as well as academic and social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth is evident in the opportunities we encourage and
provide for students to explore their own faith.
Because our campus is comprised of individuals from
many different religious and cultural backgrounds, our worship life is characterized by a similar diversity and richness
of tradition. Bible studies, growth groups, outreach teams
and community outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and
justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are examples of the
wide variety of activities on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel
worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day
to give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number
of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students
gather for Holy Communion. Weekend College Chapel is
held each Saturday morning when classes meet. On Sundays,
Trinity Lutheran worship services are held on campus, with
many other churches within walking distance.
We seek to develop a free and open environment where
people are encouraged to use and discover the gifts and sense
of call and vocation that God has given them. As a college
of the church, we encourage students to form values guided
by our Christian heritage, which will be the basis for the
kind and quality of life that reaches beyond their years at
Augsburg.
The college pastor, associate college pastor, and campus
ministry staff have offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center
for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available
for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or information.
Vocation
Augsburg College has a deep and long-standing commitment to the theological concept of vocation—the idea that all
people can use their individual gifts to serve God’s purposes
in the world and that each person’s contribution is uniquely
valuable.
In the spring of 2002, with the generous support of
the Lilly Endowment, Augsburg created a program called
Exploring Our Gifts that was designed to help students,
staff, and faculty explore the connections between faith,
learning, service, and work. Over the years, the program has
26
I Augsburg College 2010-2011
helped embed vocational themes into the curriculum and
has sponsored a wide variety of short-term projects that offer
rich opportunities for reflection on how to live with purpose
and meaning. These ongoing projects include internships at
nonprofit organizations, off-campus service projects, international seminars, vocation-themed chapel presentations, interfaith forums, vocation retreats, and scholarships for students
interested in exploring service to the community, ministry, or
church leadership.
Because Exploring Our Gifts will end in the summer
2010, the College recently created a permanent center—the
Augsburg Center for Faith and Learning—that will keep
vocation at the core of Augsburg’s vision well into the future.
This new center will continue many of the current initiatives
and will carry on the work of promoting discovery of gifts
and discernment of calling among the students, faculty, and
staff at Augsburg as well as members of the larger community.
For further information on how to participate in
Augsburg’s vocation programming, visit the Lilly Resource
Center, Memorial Hall, room 231, or the Augsburg Center for
Faith and Learning, Oren Gateway Center, room 106.
Student Government
The Augsburg Day Student Government and the Augsburg
for Adults/Weekend and Evening College Student Senate
organizations support and advocate for student concerns,
needs, and activities. These student government groups serve
as the primary voice and liaison between students and the
administration, faculty, and staff of Augsburg College.
Campus Activities and Orientation
Campus Activities and Orientation (CAO) strives to create
innovative programming that fosters individual and community development and creates an environment where students
can connect, engage, and invest in the Augsburg community.
CAO programming works to enhance and supplement the
liberal arts instruction at Augsburg College through quality
transitional programs for new students as well as through
leadership education. CAO is made up of five program areas.
These include:
Campus Activities—CAO offers several programs and activities throughout the academic year designed to connect and
engage students with the Augsburg community, as well as
with the broader Twin Cities community.
LBGTQIA Services—LBGTQIA Services works to improve
the campus environment for all students, staff, faculty, and
visitors at Augsburg College by developing and supporting
inclusive understandings of gender and sexuality, as well as
fostering a community that honors and affirms the wholeness
of all identities.
Student Life
Student and Group Leadership Development—
Emerging Leaders Program (ELP)—ELP is an initiative designed to develop new leadership at Augsburg.
Emerging leaders learn skills necessary to be effective in
leadership roles through intentional learning opportunities and relationships with upper class mentors.
Student Group Development—CAO provides student
groups with advising and skill-building workshops
focusing on recruitment, event planning, meeting facilitation, conflict resolution, and other pertinent areas of
development.
Orientation Programs—
SOAR—SOAR is a required two-day, overnight orientation experience for incoming first-year day students which is designed to help with the transition to
Augsburg College. Students will meet fellow classmates,
faculty, and staff; learn about college resources and
services; obtain fall semester schedules; and get a taste of
life on campus.
Parent SOAR—Parent SOAR is an optional two-day
orientation experience for the parents and guardians of
first-year day students that runs concurrently with the
students’ SOAR session. Parents will obtain important
information about the campus, meet fellow parents, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources and services;
and get a taste of what life will be like for their students
on campus.
TRANSFER-mation—TRANSFER-mation is a required halfday orientation experience for transfer students designed
to help with the transition to Augsburg College. Students
will learn about college resources and services, hear
about academic programs, and discover why being a part
of the Augsburg community is so rewarding.
Auggie Days—Auggie Days is a required on-campus
orientation experience for incoming first-year day students that is designed to complement SOAR. It provides
opportunities to enhance academic and personal success
and offers a helpful advantage in starting at Augsburg
College.
Student Center
The Christensen Center, the Augsburg student union, serves
students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests. Traditionally considered the “living room” of the campus, the student union
provides a central gathering place for the diverse populations
of residential, commuter, Weekend College, and graduate
students at Augsburg through the merging of curricular and
co-curricular programs and activities.
The Christensen Center also houses several student
services, such as Undergraduate and Graduate Admissions,
Campus Activities and Orientation, Event and Conference
Planning, the Copy Center, Shipping and Receiving, the
Information Desk, A’viands Food Services, Mail Services, the
A-Club Grille, and Cooper’s Coffee Shop.
The Auggies Nest, located on the ground floor of the
Christensen Center, serves as the student group office area
and houses the Augsburg Day Student Government and
Augsburg for Adults/Weekend and Evenings College office,
the ECHO (campus newspaper) office, the Augsburgian
(student yearbook) office, and the KAUG (campus radio)
office. Cubicles, lockers, and additional work spaces are also
available in this area for student group use.
Fine Arts
Students have many opportunities to participate in music and
drama. In addition to appearing on campus and in the city,
the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and Orchestra perform
on national and international tours. Many other ensembles
are available to cover the entire range of musical styles and
previous musical experience. Students stage several plays
on campus each year under the direction of the Theatre Arts
Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of oncampus workshops with visiting arts professionals.
Anne Pederson Women’s Resource Center
The Anne Pederson Women’s Resource Center at Augsburg
College offers a variety of programming for Augsburg students (women and men) and is a meeting place for students,
faculty, and staff alike. It houses a women’s studies library
(including current magazines), a seminar room for films and
discussions, and a lounge space for studying, relaxing, and
just hanging out. The Women’s Resource Center sponsors
numerous programs and activities (including regular social
times, Feminist Film Fridays, spa days at the end of each
semester, and the Koryne Horbal Convocation Lecture), and
provides a safe place on campus for discussions, explorations, and women’s advocacy. The resource center is located
in Sverdrup Hall 207.
Athletics and Sports
Intercollegiate Athletics—Augsburg is affiliated with the
Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) and
is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) Division III. Men annually compete in football, soccer, cross country, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling, baseball,
track and field, and golf. Women annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, softball,
swimming, track and field, and golf.
Intramurals—Every student is urged to participate in some
activity for recreation and relaxation. An intramural program
provides competition in a variety of team sports as well as
individual performance activities. Broomball has been an
especially popular coed sport. Check schedules for times
when there is open use of the gymnasium and ice arena.
Augsburg College 2010-2011
I 27
Student Life
Sports and recreation—At Augsburg, sports are for all students
as well as the intercollegiate athlete. The campus offers on
a space-available basis a double-rink ice arena, gymnasium,
tennis courts, a fitness center with workout machines and
weight room, and an air-supported dome over the athletic
field for winter fitness use by walkers and runners. (See
Fitness Centers on page 32.)
Gage Center for Academic Achievement
The Gage Center assists all Augsburg students in setting and
achieving optimal academic goals here at the College and
beyond. The center consists of five collaborating units:
Academic Advising—Academic Advising orients new Day and
Weekend College undergraduate students to the academic
policies and procedures of the College and assists students
on initial course selection. This office also provides interpretation of core curriculum requirements, administers entrylevel skill assessments, interprets graduation requirements,
provides degree-planning materials, and answers questions
on student academic progress. Academic Advising functions
as a supplement to the faculty advising system at Augsburg
College, and is located in the Enrollment Center.
All current students are assigned to a faculty adviser.
Prior to the end of their sophomore year, when they have
completed 12 or more credits, students are required to
declare their major and select a faculty adviser. Majors and
minors are declared online through Augnet Records and
Registration. Students select a faculty adviser from their
major area of study using the declaration form. All Day students are required to meet with their assigned faculty adviser
each term prior to registration. Both Day and weekend
college students are encouraged to meet with their faculty
adviser as often as is necessary.
Center for Learning and Adaptive Student Services (CLASS)—The
Center for Learning and Adaptive Student Services (CLASS)
provides individualized accommodations and academic
support for students with documented learning, attentional,
psychiatric, and other cognitive disabilities. CLASS has been
recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain
full access to the College curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and
challenging, yet supportive, liberal arts education to students
with diverse backgrounds, preparations, and experiences.
Each term disability specialists work directly with
students to discuss their disabilities and determine a plan
for academic access. Typically, meetings are held weekly and
discussions may include:
• Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g.,
extended time, note-taking)
• Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, general
technology assistance, academic advising, counseling,
financial aid)
• Training and use of assistive technology through the
Groves Computer Laboratory
28
I Augsburg College 2010-2011
• Assistance with academic, organizational, and time management skills
CLASS specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisers, and other members of the College faculty,
staff, or administration to support each student as they work
toward success. Taking advantage of those opportunities,
however, remains the student’s responsibility.
These services are available to any Augsburg student
who establishes eligibility by submitting appropriate documentation to the CLASS office. A copy of the Guidelines for
Documentation of a Disability can be obtained by contacting
the CLASS Office. CLASS also provides informal screenings
for students who suspect they may have a learning-related
disability. These screenings are meant only to help students
determine whether they should seek a thorough evaluation
by a qualified professional.
These services are made possible in part through endowment support provided by the Gage family and the Groves
Foundation.
Academic Skills Office (ASO)—
The Academic Skills Office provides comprehensive academic
support (e.g. time management, note-taking, reading, testing, motivation/procrastination) for all Augsburg students
through individual and group appointments. In addition, the
academic skills coaches address affective needs and aid in
the transition to college life. Coaches also refer students to
campus resources.
The Academic Skills Office coordinates several programs
to support students:
• Tutoring/Supplemental Instruction Services: ASO coordinates free tutoring for most classes and supplemental
instruction in specific courses.
• Conditional Admit Program (CAP): A limited number
of students are admitted conditionally through the CAP
program. Students must fulfill CAP requirements or they
will be continued in the CAP program or dismissed. See
the “Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal” section
of the catalog for a description of dismissal procedures.
• Probation Advising: Students placed or continued on
probation are required to meet with an approved academic
advocate. Registration is prevented until the student
completes the probation requirements as specified by their
academic advocate. Students who do not meet with their
academic advocate and/or do not fulfill the probation
requirements will be continued on probation or dismissed.
See the “Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal”
section of the catalog for a description of dismissal procedures.
• Augsburg Advantage at St. Kates (AASK): The Augsburg
College Admissions Committee selects students for the
AASK program, based on their application for admission
to Augsburg. The AASK program is a collaborative effort
between St. Catherine University (St. Kate’s) and Augsburg
to assist students in the transition from high school to
Student Life
college with specific courses and supportive programming.
The program provides participants with the opportunity to
complete similar coursework that first year students complete
at Augsburg. Students attend courses on the Minneapolis
campus of St. Catherine University and have access to both
campuses for support, resources, and activities.
Upon successful completion, students are guaranteed sophomore status (minimum of 7 course credits) and will have
fulfilled many of the first-year Augsburg requirements.
In order to complete the program, students are
required to:
• Complete all required courses (30 semester credits)
including Foundations in Fitness (at Augsburg) with a
minimum 2.5 GPA and no course grade below a 2.0 or P.
• Satisfactory completion on Critical Competencies
• Attend all seminars and transition events at Augsburg and
St. Kates
• Complete transition application and recommendation
process with adviser at St. Kate’s by March 15.
• Completen the Summer Transition Program (one course
and all programming) in Summer I at Augsburg after year
at St. Kate’s.
TRIO Programs—TRIO programs are federal grant programs
funded by the U.S. Department of Education, which seek to
help students overcome class, social, academic and cultural
barriers to higher education. TRIO programs are designed
to help students prepare for college, adjust to college life,
and attain good academic standing. They also help students
improve their likelihood of transfer and graduation from
a four-year degree program in addition to preparation for
graduate school.
TRIO/Student Support Services—Student Support Services
(SSS) is a TRIO program designed to help students persist
in college and graduate in a timely manner. The program
serves students who are low-income, first-generation college
students (neither parent has a four-year degree) and students
with disabilities to develop the skills and motivation necessary to successfully pursue and earn a bachelor’s degree.
Participants in TRIO/SSS must also be U.S. citizens, permanent residents or refugees, must demonstrate academic need
for program services, and be committed to succeed in college.
Augsburg TRIO/Student Support Services serves 160
students from the point of admission through graduation,
including transfer students. TRIO/SSS typically admits 40
new students to the program each year.
Major components of the Augsburg College TRIO/SSS
program include:
• Individual academic advising and support, including
appropriate goal attainment strategies and self-advocacy
skill-building
• Academic program planning, including pre-registration for
each term, major and career decision-making, and longterm course planning
• Preemptive tutoring during the first seven weeks of the
semester.
• Financial aid counseling and education, financial aid
literacy education
• Academic progress monitoring, weekly progress meetings
for students on academic probation
• Academic success workshops, group academic skill development
• Graduate and professional school information and application assistance
• Social and cultural activities and student-led events
• Five-week residential Summer Bridge program including
free summer-term college coursework, academic seminars,
adjustment-to-college workshops, and advising for 25
incoming first-year students
• Need-based scholarships for students actively participating
in TRIO/SSS
Students may apply for TRIO/SSS anytime after admission to
Augsburg College; however, preference is given to students
who apply within their first term of enrollment. For more
information, an application, or to make an appointment with
a TRIO/SSS adviser, contact TRIO/SSS program staff at 612330-1311, or Science 152.
TRIO/McNair Scholars Program—The McNair Scholars

A Greeting from the President
I am pleased to know of your interest in Augsburg College’s exciting and innovative graduate programs. You are part of a
select and discerning group of professionals who seek to find a graduate program that combines an excellent curriculum,
a values-based approach to work, a talented and experienced faculty, and program formats that meet the needs of busy
and successful people. Augsburg College’s graduate-level programs in Business Administration, Education, Leadership,
Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, and Social Work are distinguished by the opportunities they provide students to expand decision-making and strategic skills. Beginning in the fall of 2010, Augsburg is proud to offer its inaugural doctoral
degree program—the Doctor in Nursing Practice program.
Augsburg College is characterized by a strong mission: Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens,
thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged
community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran church, and shaped by its
urban and global settings.
For our graduate programs, this mission helps to shape an innovative educational experience that features an expansive
perspective on social responsibility, economic realities, business initiative, and environmental sustainability.
At Augsburg College, we believe that our distinctive educational purpose is to help you, the individual student, find your
calling at work and in the world. The Augsburg graduate programs are designed to offer you quality educational experiences, personal attention, and opportunities to expand your personal and professional talents and skills. We are confident
that our graduates are prepared for leadership in our ever-changing global society, the hallmark of an Augsburg degree.
Sincerely,
Paul C. Pribbenow
President, Augsburg College
Augsburg College I 3
Greetings from the Academic Affairs Office
Welcome to our graduate programs. We are committed to education that prepares people for leadership in their communities and places of work. We believe that the liberal and professional arts and sciences form the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow.
Our locations in the vital metropolitan areas of Minneapolis/St. Paul and Rochester offer exciting and challenging field
experiences for courses that include real-life learning through academic internships, experiential education, and cultural
enrichment. The Twin Cities and Rochester become extended campuses for Augsburg students. Also, the diversity in our
campus community ensures that our graduates are prepared for the range of experiences and perspectives that characterize today’s global environment.
When you join Augsburg you become part of a community that offers lifelong learning opportunities in state-of-the-art
classrooms, with accessible libraries and dedicated faculty and staff. You join a body of experienced people who quickly
form your network of employer connections and career opportunities. We encourage our alumni to become your mentors and build on our city connections through public events, including our convocations and Advent Vespers.
All our programs share distinctive qualities, including our commitment and mission to be of service, with one another
and to our neighbors. We expect our graduates to have their eyes on the world as they develop their identity as global citizens, with a sense of responsibility to participate in socially- and economically-sustainable development. We hope that at
some time during your degree, you’ll explore the opportunities to participate in an international learning experience—for
example, travel seminars to our global campuses in Central America, Mexico, and Namibia, and opportunities to meet
visiting students and faculty members from our partner institutions in Norway, Germany, Finland, and Slovenia. Inspired
by the faith of our Lutheran founders to be inclusive to the early immigrants who came to Augsburg’s doors, we welcome
a diversity of cultures and faiths.
Although each graduate program has its own “neighborhood” and unique features, we encourage interdisciplinary
courses and opportunities for you to study with colleagues across disciplines. We encourage both “horizontal” initiatives—i.e., cross-program collaboration—as well as “vertical” initiatives—engaging our undergraduate students to consider graduate work. This means that sometimes you may be encouraging classmates who are just beginning to imagine a
graduate degree.
We are companions on your journey in fulfilling your dream of a graduate degree and we cannot wait to meet you.
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Farley

and Dean of the College

About Augsburg College
About Augsburg College
At Augsburg College, we believe that graduate education
should prepare gifted people for positions of leadership in
their communities and places of work. Augsburg graduates
will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major
field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve
problems, act ethically and communicate effectively in a
global world. The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg mission, informed by the liberal and professional arts
and sciences, to serve our neighbors in the heart of the city
with faith-based, ethical values. We welcome students from a
diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Also, our programs
look to the world through international courses and cultural
exchanges.

Mission Statement
Augsburg is enhanced by its global centers in Namibia, Mexico, and Central America. Students can perform research, take
courses, or consult with faculty in those locations to gain new
perspectives on their discipline.
Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens,
thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.
The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community, committed to intentional diversity in its life and work.
An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal
arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of
the Lutheran Church, and shaped by our urban and global
settings.
Augsburg Today
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian
Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wis., and
moved to Minneapolis in 1872. A short history of Augsburg
College can be found at www.augsburg.edu/about/history.html
Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and
dedication of its founders who believed:
• Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically
and broadly about the world and the work we do in it;
• An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in
community and centers of faith;
• The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment.
The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the
phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.”
Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a
complex global society.

Dual degrees:
BA in accounting/MAL—see p. 40
MSW/MBA—see p. 58 and 76
MSW/MA in theology, with Luther Seminary—see p. 75
A Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s graduate programs is participation in a community of adult learners. This community
is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety
of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages students to make use of
all College facilities such as Lindell Library, the Kennedy Center, and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College
activities such as music and dramatic presentations and
athletic events.
Graduate Faculty
The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and
Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and
commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate
or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching and service
to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching.
Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories.
Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.

FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of
1974 as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Augsburg College understands
About Augsburg College
that no information other than “directory information” can be
released without the written permission of the student. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the official
personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. For example, this means that faculty or others cannot write letters of
support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written permission is given by the student to release non-“directory information.” It is not sufficient to ask
for letters of recommendation.
In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following:
Right to inspect and review education records
You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of
your education records maintained by or at Augsburg College.
You must request to review your education records in writing,
with your signature. The College will respond in a reasonable
time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request.
Right to request amendment of education records
You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an
education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the
record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter
your education records as you requested.
Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information
You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that
FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize disclosure without your permission.
One exception which permits disclosure without consent is
disclosure to school officials with legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in
an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel
and health staff); person or company with whom the College
has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection
agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees, or a student
serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or
grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education
record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.
carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold
directory information. Should you decide to inform Augsburg
College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused.
“Directory information” includes the following:
• The student’s name;
• The student’s address;
• The student’s telephone number;
• The student’s e-mail address;
• The student’s date and place of birth;
• The student’s major and minor field of study;
• The student’s academic class level;
• The student’s enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT);
• The student’s participation in officially recognized activities
and sports;
• The student’s degrees and awards received;
• The weight and height of members of athletic teams;
• The student’s dates of attendance;
• The most recent previous educational agency or institution
attended by the student; and
• The student’s photograph.
Augsburg College will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg
assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such
information be withheld. The Office of the Registrar must be
notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory
Information. If the notice is not received by the registrar prior
to Sept. 15 (or within 10 school days of the start of a subsequent term for a new student), it will be assumed that all Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder of the
current academic year. A new notice for withholding disclosure must be completed each academic year.
Right to complain to FERPA Office
You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. S.W., Washington, D.C.,
20202-4605, concerning Augsburg’s failure to comply with
FERPA.
Reporting Educational Information
Letters of reference must be requested in writing and explicitly indicate what information may be reported in the letter.
Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information”
FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those
categories of personally identifiable information that may be
released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College
without notification of the request or disclosure to the student.
Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of
the directory information listed below. Please consider very

Academic Programs and Policies
Academic Programs and Policies
Academic Calendars
Most of our graduate programs meet on a trimester calendar.
Physician Assistant Studies classes meet on a semester day
schedule.
The official academic calendars for individual programs can
be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change.
Academic Policies
The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American
Association of University Professors and the Association of
American Colleges.
Academic Honesty
A college is a community of learners whose relationship relies
on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity and
credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg College community.
Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a College
requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student pledging to
abide by the College’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. (See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide at
www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/)
Academic Evaluation
Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be
based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0
achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for
details of field study and special projects. Students must achieve
a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students
must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy.
The numeric grade point definition for Graduate Studies is:
4.0 grade points
Achieves highest standards of excellence
3.5 grade points
Achieves above acceptable standards
3.0 grade points
Meets acceptable standards
2.5 grade points
Meets minimum standards
2.0–0.0 grade points Unacceptable performance
P
Represents work at 3.0 or higher (not counted in grade
point average)
N No credit (not counted in grade point average)
V Audit
W Withdrawn
I
Incomplete
X In progress, extended beyond term of registration
Withdrawn Status
W—Grade given when a student withdraws from a course
after the deadline without notation on the record
Graduate Catalog I 12
Incomplete (I) Grades
An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor
grants permission after determining that a student emergency
may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive
an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if
they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements.
To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Office of the Registrar that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work
required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms
and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the
same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade.
The student must complete the outstanding work in enough
time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the
filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic
term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by
the specified date of the following academic term, the grade
for the course becomes 0.0.
Academic Probation
Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade
point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following
term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored
in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate
students in the Physician Assistan must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy.
Attendance Policy
Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any
course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation
may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students
to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements
to address the needs of particular courses, individual students,
or various learning styles.
Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of
emergency, when prior notification is not possible, students
must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible.
Continuation Policy for Thesis or Final Project (effective
in fall 2010)
Following the initial registration term for the final (or summative or capstone) project, students will be automatically
registered for continuation course 999 each trimester for up to
15 trimesters or until a grade for the completion course is
submitted by the project adviser. Continuation course 999
maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, in-
Academic Programs and Policies
cluding library, AugNet, and parking privileges. This registration will result in a Campus Access Fee of $35 (subject to
change as costs increase) per trimester.
Doctor of Nursing Practice—For information about course
credits and contact hours for the Doctor of Nursing program,
see p. 49.
Automatic registration will occur for up to five years or 15
terms. At the end of this time, the course grade will change
from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project
after receiving a failing grade must meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program.
Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional
course work and will need to pay full tuition for all additional
courses and to repeat the final project course. If/when the
final project course is completed, the new grade would supersede the previous grade.
Degree Requirements
Students may withdraw from the College, and thus from continuation course 999 and the final project course, at any point
during the continuation period and receive a W notation on
the transcript for the final project course. Following a withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program.
Students may be subject to additional coursework.
An accounts receivable hold will be placed on the student’s account if a collegewide $250 unpaid threshold is reached. The
threshold will adjust with the practices of the Student Accounts Office. If a student owes more than the threshold
amount, the registrar’s office will not continue to automatically enroll the student in continuation 999. The registrar’s office and the Student Accounts Office will inform the student,
the program director, and coordinator that the student must
pay the account (including the late fee). At this point coordinators and/or program directors will communicate with the
student and the faculty adviser and, if necessary, request that
the faculty adviser submit a grade change of N. The student
also may elect to withdraw from the College. If the grade
change has not been submitted within one term, the program
director will submit the grade change of N.
This policy is effective as of September 2010. Students will
sign a contract outlining the terms of the continuation policy,
which will be kept on file with the program and in the Office
of the Registrar. Accumulated charges stand for current students, but beginning in fall 2010 students will be charged $35
per term. The Enrollment Center will work with students, as
needed, who are currently in the continuation phase and who
have accumulated a debt higher than the $250 threshold.
Course credit and contact hours
A full credit course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or
six quarter credits. Each full course on the trimester schedule
meets for approximately 28 contact hours (MSW trimesters
meet for 32 hours, and the PA weekday semester schedule is
approximately 45 hours) with the expectation of substantial
independent and group study offered through the web-based
electronic course management system.
To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students
must achieve the following:
• Successful completion of all required courses
• A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students
must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy.
• Successful completion of all degree requirements within
the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed continuation agreement with Augsburg College.
Dismissal from the College
A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her
graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more
terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the
student to continue in the program may be worked out with
the program director.
Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of
behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the
College.
Dismissal Appeals Process
A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the
College’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate
negatively affected the outcome.
The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard
copy of the statement of appeal to the Assistant Vice President
of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate Studies (AVP-Graduate Studies); email is not acceptable. The statement must
identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The statement of appeal will be
the only basis of the student’s appeal. The AVP-Graduate Studies must receive the student’s statement of appeal within 14
calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal.
The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the statement
of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must
submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within
15 business days of the date that the statement was received
by the AVP-Graduate Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVP-Graduate
Studies. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the
program’s response to the student.
The AVP-Graduate Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the AVP-Graduate Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty
members (one from programs not named in the appeal: Social
Work, Education, Physician Assistant Studies, Nursing, Business, Leadership).
Augsburg College I 13
Academic Programs and Policies
The Program Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its
hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s
statement of response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures
and ask questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each
bring a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg College faculty member, staff member, or student). The
role of the third party representative is to provide support to
the student or the program representative, not to serve as an
advocate during the meeting.
Dropping Courses or Withdrawing
Students who enroll in courses but later decide not to attend
must formally drop their courses through the registrar’s office
prior to the start of classes to avoid being charged for those
courses. Students who do not properly drop courses will be
responsible for the tuition, regardless of non-attendance.
Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through
AugNet Records and Registration or in person at the Enrollment Center during hours of operation. If you need assistance
with this, contact your program faculty at least two days in
advance of the start of classes.
Independent Study
Students may request to complete an independent study
course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty
sponsor is required for an independent study project, and
project proposals must be approved by the program director
in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may
not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered in
the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if
approved). A special independent study registration form is
required and is available at the Enrollment Center.
Terms of Non-attendance
Students who interrupt their program enrollment for longer
than one semester or three trimesters must readmit to the
College and program to resume their degree program. For an
absence of any length, students should coordinate with their
program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of program
schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that
students meet with their adviser and obtain the advice of their
director.
Evaluation of Transfer Credit
Students may petition the program director for transfer credit
to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit will
be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to
provide appropriate documentation regarding previous
coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript,
course description, and syllabus. In order to be considered for
transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college
or university and graded 3.0/B or better. Courses must have
been taken at the graduate level and course content must be
comparable to program requirements at Augsburg.
Graduate Catalog I 14
The maximum number of course credits that can be transferred to these program is as follows:
Master of Arts in Education (2.0)
Master of Arts in Leadership (2.0)
Master of Arts in Nursing (3.0)
Master of Business Administration (6.0)
Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator)
Master of Social Work (8.0)
Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester
hours or six quarter hours. Therefore, transfer credits that are
reported to Augsburg as semester or quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by dividing by four or six
respectively.
Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded
on the student’s transcript. Grades and gradepoints from other
institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average.
Student Rights
The College has adopted a statement of student rights and responsibilities and has provided for due process in the matter
of disciplinary action, grievances, and grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg Student Guide, at
www.augsburg.edu/studentguide. Students have a right to experience education without discrimination.
Grievance Procedures Involving Augsburg College Faculty Members and Students
Part I—Introduction/Preface
Augsburg College is committed to a policy of treating fairly all
members of the college community in regard to their personal
and professional concerns. However, times do occur in which
students think they have been mistreated. This procedure is
provided in order to ensure that students are aware of the way
in which their problems with faculty members can be resolved
informally and to provide a more formal conciliation process
when needed. Each student must be given adequate opportunity to bring problems to the attention of the faculty with the
assurance that each will be given fair treatment. The faculty
member must be fully informed of the allegations and given
an opportunity to respond to them in a fair and reasonable
manner.
Definition of Grievance
A grievance is defined as dissatisfaction occurring when a student believes that any conduct or condition affecting her/him
is unjust or inequitable, or creates unnecessary hardship. Such
grievances include, but are not limited to a violation, misinterpretation, or inequitable application of an academic rule, regulation, or policy of the College or prejudicial, capricious, or
manifestly unjust academic evaluation.
Academic Programs and Policies
College policies and procedures that do not come within the
scope of the Grievance Procedures are the sexual harassment
policy, the sexual violence policy, the Committee on Financial
Petitions, Discipline Process, and Academic Standing.
Time Limits
Time limits will include only business days (M–F) for the program in which the student was enrolled. (Weekends, and vacation days are not included; summer may not be included
depending on the student’s program.)
Part II—Informal Process
It is always the student’s responsibility to know these procedures and timelines and to follow them.
A. Any time a student feels that she/he has been mistreated by
a faculty member, the student should contact the faculty
member to discuss the problem and attempt to resolve it.
B. If no mutually satisfactory solution can be reached with the
faculty member or if, in unusual circumstances, the student
prefers not to confer with the faculty member, the student
should discuss the problem with the department chairperson
of the faculty member and attempt resolution of the problem.
C. If the problem cannot be resolved in discussions with the
faculty member or department chairperson, or if the faculty
member and the department chairperson are the same individual, the student may contact the vice president of academic
affairs and dean of the College.
• In unusual circumstances, the time limit may be extended
by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the
College. A grievant or respondent must submit a written
request for such extension before the end of the time limit.
If the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the
College thinks the extension is warranted, the Dean will
notify all concerned persons in writing.
E. If the grievance has been resolved, either by agreement or
by expiration of the time limits, a copy of the informal grievance and statements of the resolution will be kept by the vice
president of academic affairs and dean of the College for one
year. Neither a copy of nor any reference to the grievance will
be placed in the personnel file of the respondent.
If these informal discussions do not resolve the problem to
the satisfaction of the student, a more formal conciliation procedure is available in Part III of this document. Note: A student must file a written grievance, per below, within five days
after completion of the informal process
Part III—Formal Process Preface
If a student has a grievance with a faculty member that has
not been resolved through the Informal Grievance Process described in Part II of this document, the student may then seek
resolution through formal procedures.
For a complete copy of the procedures, contact the dean’s office, Academic Affairs.
D. The student must begin the Informal Grievance process
within 15 days of the conduct giving rise to the grievance, by
submitting an Informal Grievance Form to the vice president
of academic affairs and dean of the College.
• The time limit to begin the Informal Grievance process for
a grade appeal will be 30 days from the last published finals
date for the relevant term. It is the responsibility of the student to maintain a correct and current address on file with
the registrar.
• If the student could not reasonably be expected to be aware
of the conduct when it occurred, the student will have 15
days to file the grievance from the date on which the student could reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct or condition that is the basis for the grievance. It is
the responsibility of the student to establish the reasonableness of such non–awareness. The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College will determine if this
paragraph applies to a grievant.
• The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College and the student must ensure the informal process is
completed in 20 days. (See Part I for definition of time
limits.)

Admission of International Students
Augsburg College graduate programs encourage qualified applicants from other countries to apply.
An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a “full
course of study” to achieve a specific educational or professional objective at an academic institution in the United States
that has been designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of study to such students, and
has been enrolled in SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System).
A student acquires F-1 status using form I-20, issued by a
DHS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in
one of two ways: 1) if the student is abroad, by entering the
United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a U.S.
consulate, or 2) if the student is already in the United States
and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the I-20 to USCIS
(United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an
application for change of nonimmigrant status.
A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer
from another DHS-approved school to Augsburg by following
the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations.
In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for
a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students must
also comply with the following:
A. Foreign Credential Evaluation
Augsburg requires foreign credential evaluation for any transcript(s) from an institution outside of the United States. This
evaluation should include the following:
• Analysis of credentials—to determine if your degree is
equivalent to an accredited U.S. bachelor’s degree.
• Course-by-course evaluation—to show your complete
course listing with credit values and grades received for
each course.
• Calculation of grade point average—to demonstrate your
Graduate Admissions
cumulative grade point average using the standard U.S.
grading system, i.e., A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0.
• Translation to English (if applicable)
The evaluation report must be sent directly to Augsburg’s
Adult and Graduate Admissions Office. Refer to World Education Services at http://wes.org for direction on transcript evaluation.
B. Proof of Financial Support
International applicants must provide reliable documentation
that they have financial resources adequate to meet expenses
for the duration of their academic program, which include tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, health insurance, personal expenses, and living expenses for
dependents (if applicable).
Funds may come from any dependable source, including
scholarships, fellowships, sponsoring agencies, personal
funds, or funds from the student’s family. Documentation of
scholarships and fellowships may be in the form of an official
award letter from the school or sponsoring agency; documentation of personal or family funds should be on bank letterhead stationery, or in the form of a legally binding affidavit.
Government Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, or Augsburg’s
Financial Sponsorship form can be used to document support
being provided by a U.S. citizen or U.S. legal permanent resident. All financial documents such as bank statements must
be dated within three months prior to the date of application.
Health Insurance
All F-1 international students and their dependents (if applicable) are required to have adequate health insurance coverage for the duration of their program. International students
will be enrolled in the Augsburg international student plan
unless they fill out a waiver verifying proof of coverage
through an alternative provider for the same period.

attended classes. All refunds of charges will be applied to the
student account and all adjustments for aid, loans, fines, deposits, etc. will be made before eligibility for a cash refund of
any resulting credit balance is determined. Allow two weeks
for a refund.
The refund is a percentage of the full tuition charged, not a
percentage of any deposit paid toward tuition, e.g. deposits
made under the employer reimbursement payment plan.

Master of Arts in Education
Master of Arts in Education
We are pleased with your interest in the Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program. Augsburg has a long history in
teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and elsewhere. We know that Augsburg
College is an excellent choice for you to pursue your teaching dreams and goals—and here’s why.
OUR PHILOSOPHY The Education Department program themes include relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity
and equity, and leadership. You can read about each theme on the following page, but for the MAE program, I want to
highlight one of the program themes—leadership. As this program theme suggests, we expect our students to leave our
programs as responsive, knowledgeable teachers prepared to exercise leadership in the classroom and, eventually, the
school and community.
Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through a combination of course content, field experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students will leave our programs as collaborative and capable teachers
committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world.
OUR FACULTY Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors,
all of whom have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all fulltime faculty members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision,
volunteer work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do. We
value good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers.
OUR ACCESSIBILITY We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and
personal responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings and weekends to allow you to manage these responsibilities while pursuing your goals. You will need to be available during the weekday for the challenge and responsibility
of field experiences, but education coursework is accessible through the weekend and evening schedules.
As a student in Augsburg’s Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly qualified teacher—the
teacher you can become.

Master of Arts in Education
Education Department Mission
The mission of the Augsburg Education Department is to develop responsive, knowledgeable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world.
Program Themes
Responsive, knowledgeable teachers understand the dynamic
interaction among relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. These four interrelated program themes provide lenses through which we filter our
practice.
Relationships
Learning is relational and communal. Responsive teachers create significant relationships with their students, colleagues,
and community partners by developing learning communities.
These nurturing learning communities provide a safe, trustworthy place where challenging and engaging questions can
be considered. We model the kinds of learning communities
that we expect our graduates to create. We share with our students a learning model that connects content, theory, and
practice in an ongoing cycle. Students and their learning are
the focus for responsive teachers. Therefore we embrace and
foster a progressive and constructivist orientation.
Reflection and Inquiry
Responsive teachers are reflective practitioners who are students of teaching and learning. Providing numerous frameworks through which to filter our experience encourages
intentional and thoughtful inquiry. Through field placements,
service learning, generative questions, and classroom experiences, students and faculty develop their perspectives about
teaching and learning. Critical reflection allows us to examine
content, theory, and practice in ways that transform our practice. We think it is important to understand and learn how to
manage the many polarities inherent in the teaching and
learning process.
Diversity and Equity
Responsive teachers embrace diversity and intentionally work
to ensure that all learners, especially those who for some reason have been marginalized, learn and develop in powerful
ways. We continually reflect on what it means to be a “school
in the city.” We recognize that each student is unique, shaped
by culture and experience; therefore, differentiating instruction is essential. The perspective of multiple intelligences,
learning style theory and teaching for understanding help us
differentiate and enable us to provide choice, variety, and flexibility. Responsive teachers believe that all students can learn.
They also have a sense of efficacy and believe that they can
help all students learn.
Leadership
Responsive teachers recognize that becoming a learning leader
is a developmental process, which begins in pre-service edu-
cation and continues throughout one’s career. Teachers serve
as leaders within the classroom, and with experience, increased confidence, and professional development become
leaders within the school, the district, and the community.
Teacher leaders view themselves as lifelong learners. They become role models committed to their profession as a vocation
rather than a job. Emerging teacher leaders keep student
learning at the center of their work while advocating for instructional innovation, constructivist curricular development,
and systemic change.
Master of Arts in Education Conceptual
Framework
Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our
graduate licensure and degree completion programs. The
Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are
leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their institutions and communities.
The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the combined
undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second,
in the degree completion component, students are required to
include coursework focused on leadership and study aspects
of leadership as part of their degree program. Third, the final
project—be it an action research, a leadership application
project, or the performance assessment course—gives students the opportunity to study an issue of concern and, supported by research, define a means for addressing it.
Program Overview
The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) is designed to provide
a teaching license as part of a master’s degree program. K-12
initial teaching licenses offered at Augsburg include:
• Elementary education (K-6), with or without a middle
school specialty area endorsement in math, communication
arts, social studies, or science. Also available is the pre-primary endorsement to the elementary license.
• Secondary education (5-12 and K-12) in social studies,
communication arts/literature, visual arts, health, mathematics, music, and physical education; and 9-12 in biology,
chemistry, and physics.
• K-12 special education, emotional and behavioral disabilities
• K-12 special education, learning disabilities
Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE
degree through the following four licensure endorsement options:
• Pre-Kindergarten endorsement
• K-12 special education: emotional and behavioral disabilities
• K-12 special education: learning disabilities
• K-12 reading endorsement (This program is under revision.
Consult the Education Department for current status.)
Augsburg College I 21
Master of Arts in Education
All teachers seeking licensure through Augsburg must take
and pass all tests required by the state of Minnesota for licensure.
The MAE degree is also available without a license but with
an education core.
Accreditations and Approvals
Augsburg College is accredited by:
• The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools
• National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education
Augsburg College is approved by the Minnesota Board of
Teaching.
For a complete list of accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see page 9.
area endorsements, 5-12 social studies, 5-12 communication
arts, and K-12 art.
Additional licenses in the following areas are available
through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, and
weekend schedules: biology, chemistry, health, mathematics,
music, physical education, and physics. For these licenses, the
education and degree completion courses are taken during the
weekend and weekday evenings while some if not all of the
content area courses are taken during the weekday.
The weekend schedule is comprised of three trimesters spread
from early September through late June. In general, classes are
held every other weekend. The weekday schedule is comprised of two semesters spread from early September through
late April. Classes offered during the weekday meet two or
three times per week. Classes offered jointly between weekday
and weekend meet on a weekly basis in the evening. The official academic calendars can be found at
www.augsburg.edu/registrar.
Program Structure
The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program is made up
of a core of education licensure courses coupled with a degree
completion option. Courses in the degree completion phase
are drawn from the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) and
graduate courses in education. Most students in the MAE program pursue a K-12 teaching license as part of their program
plan. The MAE degree is also open to students who do not
want a teaching license but do want a background in education and leadership.
The MAE degree requires 9.0 or 10.0 Augsburg graduate level
courses, depending on the degree completion option. In addition, several courses at the undergraduate level are required
for licensure. Only courses taken at the graduate level apply
towards the MAE degree.
Course Credit
A full-credit graduate or undergraduate course (1.0) is equal
to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course
offered within the weekend schedule meets for 28 hours with
the expectation of substantial independent study outside of
class.
Schedule
The majority of the education courses in the MAE licensure
and degree programs are offered through the weekend schedule. Some education courses and many undergraduate content
area courses are offered on a weekday evening schedule. The
MAL degree completion courses are offered primarily through
the weekend schedule. Summer session courses are offered
weekdays and weekday evenings.
The following teaching licenses are available entirely
through the weekday evening and weekend schedule: elementary education, middle school and preprimary specialty

EDC 220 Educational Technology (.5 course)
Psychological and philosophical dimensions of communication through the use of instructional technology. Selection,
preparation, production, and evaluation of effective audio
and/or visual technology for teaching/learning situations.
Undergraduate Liberal Arts Requirements
The number of supporting content area courses required for
licensure depends upon the courses completed as part of the
bachelor’s degree and/or other coursework. Requirements are
determined by Minnesota licensure standards for specific college-level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary licensure. Specific
requirements are on file in the Education Department.
Minnesota licensure standards allow for optional subject area
endorsements in communication arts/literature, social studies,
math, and science. The optional pre-K endorsement is also
available. Specific requirements for these endorsements are on
file in the Education Department.
Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or
better was achieved. The Education Department and the content area departments determine the courses that are accepted.
Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to
make these determinations. Courses that are older than five
years are judged on a case-by-case basis. Graduate coursework
accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree. The program has limits on the
amount and type of courses that are accepted. Grades of B or
better are required for transfer consideration. See the MAE
program director for approval of graduate coursework accepted in transfer.

Classroom
K-12 and 5-12 Secondary Education
K-12 and 5-12 licensures in several content areas are offered
through a combination of graduate and undergraduate coursework. K-12 licenses prepare teachers to teach a content area
across elementary, middle school, and high school. Licenses
for grades 5- 12 prepare teachers to teach at the middle and
high school levels. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500
and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet MAE admissions criteria.
The following content area majors are offered almost entirely
on weekends and weekday evenings: communication arts/literature, history or economics or psychology or sociology (all
for social studies), art. Students seeking 5–12 licensure in social studies must complete a broad-based core of courses in
the social studies in addition to a social science major. Education courses for these licenses are also taken during weekends
and weekday evenings.
The following content area majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry,
physics, health, physical education, music, and mathematics.
Students seeking licensure in any of these areas will likely
need to take additional content courses in the weekday schedule. Students can obtain a 9–12 license in physics, chemistry,
or biology and have the option of adding the 5–8 general science to the 9–12 license. Students also can obtain the 5–8
general science license without the 9–12 license. Education
courses for these licenses are taken during weekends and
weekday evenings.
Licensure Requirements
The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure; four to six of them also may be taken at the graduate
level and applied toward the master’s degree in education.

*Field experience hours are required in these courses. A minimum of 100 hours in classrooms and education-related settings is required prior to student teaching. Students spend
approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences.
Undergraduate Content Area Requirements
The equivalent of a major in the licensure content area is required for K-12 and 5-12 licenses. Students who have majored
in a field in which we offer licensure must have their previous
coursework evaluated by the major department at Augsburg.
Two or more content area courses tied to Minnesota licensure
standards are generally required, even with a completed academic major.
Previous coursework is evaluated by the content area department and accepted if it meets Minnesota licensure standards
and if a grade of C or better was achieved. Coursework older
than five years is judged on a case-by-case basis. Specific
course requirements for each content area are on file in the
Education Department.
Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is
not automatically accepted into the MAE degree program. See
the MAE program director for approval to use graduate level
transfer courses in the degree program.

special education programs and positions; many students get
licensure in both.
The MAE program with licensure in special education is based
on an innovative internship model that allows students employed in EBD and/or LD classrooms to fulfill a portion of
their special education field experience requirements while
they work. Students not employed in these settings are expected to complete a significant number of volunteer hours in
special education settings. All must complete field placements
or student teaching in EBD and/or LD classrooms across elementary, middle school, and high school. Specific information
on field experience requirements is available from the Education Department.
Also available is the Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort—This graduate licensure program in Special Education: EBD/LD is designed and taught from an American
Indian perspective. It is offered in collaboration with the University of Minnesota-Duluth as a hybrid (partly face-to-face
and partly online) cohort program. The licensure courses can
be applied towards the MAE degree. See the Education Department and www.augsburg/edu/mae/academics/ais_focus.html
for more information. The course descriptions are
included below.
The EBD/LD licensure programs are offered through the
weekend trimester schedule. The Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort program is offered through the semester schedule.

About Augsburg
At Augsburg College, we believe that the college experience should be a time of exploration, of
discovery, of new experiences, and new possibilities. We also believe that a liberal arts education is
the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow.
Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also
the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively.
Discovering Your Gifts and Talents
The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg Core Curriculum—designed to prepare
students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens. Through “Search for Meaning” courses,
students explore their own unique gifts and interests and find where their own talents intersect with
the needs of our global society.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve for a lifetime:
writing, speaking, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a few.
Thanks to Augsburg’s prime location in the heart of a thriving metropolitan area, many courses are
able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships,
experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense, the
resources of the Twin Cities are an extended campus for Augsburg students.
Selection from over 50 Majors
Augsburg offers more than 50 majors—or you can create your own major, either on campus
or through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). This five-college consortium allows
day program students to take courses on other campuses without charge while a full-time student
at Augsburg. The ACTC includes Augsburg College, St. Catherine University, Hamline University,
Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas.
Weekend College offers 18 majors and a number of certificate programs.
Mission Statement
Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They
stand as testaments to the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission:
“Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical
thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community
that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by
excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran
church, and shaped by its urban and global settings.”
History
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the
confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in
September 1869, in Marshall, Wis., and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were
7
enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879.
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
August Weenaas was Augsburg’s first president (1869-1876). Professor Weenaas recruited two
teachers from Norway—Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the
direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide
such “college” studies that would prepare students for theological study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare
future theological students; and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement
stressed that a good education is also practical.
Augsburg’s next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This
commitment to church and community has been Augsburg’s theme for more than 130 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the democratic college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second president
(1876-1907), required students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student
involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg’s motto, “Education
for Service.”
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran
Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregational
autonomy and personal Christianity. This change made Augsburg the only higher educational
institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important primarily as
an attachment to the seminary.
The Focus Changed
This attitude began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup, Jr., became
president. He worked to develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students
than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of
longtime dean of women, Gerda Mortensen.
The College’s mission assumed a double character: ministerial preparation together with a more
general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and
scholarly teacher, to be president (1938-1962). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made
Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life.
After World War II, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic
offerings. Now the College was a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most
attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college
program based on general education requirements and elective majors. Full accreditation of the
College was achieved in 1954.
A study in 1962 defined the College’s mission as serving the good of society first and the interests
of the Lutheran Free Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now
Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with the American
Lutheran Church. Subsequently, the American Lutheran Church merged with two other Lutheran
bodies in 1988 to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

A College in the City
Under the leadership of President Oscar A. Anderson (1963-1980) Augsburg became a vital
and integral part of the city. The College began to reach out to nontraditional student populations,
ensuring educational opportunity for all students. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall,
Mortensen Hall, Urness Hall, Christensen Center, Ice Arena, and Murphy Place.
Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg’s commitment
to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs, and a
curriculum that draws on the resources of the city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some
of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two graduate degree programs, hosting
national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events, increasing accessibility,
and the addition of the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell Family Library.
Dr. William V. Frame became president in August 1997 and retired in 2006. Under his leadership,
the College sharpened its identity as a college of the city, providing an education grounded in
vocational calling that provides students both the theoretical learning and the practical experience to
succeed in a global, diverse world.
Dr. Paul C. Pribbenow became president in July 2006. Under his leadership, the College aims to
educate students of all ages — in the midst of a great city — to be faithful citizens of the world.
Augsburg Today
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed:
• An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church;
• Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send
out productive, creative, and successful citizens;
• The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning
laboratory for Augsburg students.
The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to
serve our neighbor.” Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful
work, and global perspective, Augsburg prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a
complex global society.
In addition to Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences, Augsburg offers
master’s degree programs in business, education, leadership, nursing, physician assistant studies,
and social work. The College’s first doctoral program, in nursing practice, has been approved. For
information on graduate programs, go to www.augsburg.edu/grad.
Undergraduate education is offered both on weekday semester programs, and alternate weekend
trimester programs. The graduate programs generally follow the trimester schedule.
In addition to its Minneapolis campus, Augsburg has a branch campus in Rochester, Minn. and a
center in Bloomington, Minn.
Weekend College
Augsburg’s Weekend College (WEC) provides an educational opportunity for adults who want to
earn a baccalaureate degree and work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by
which men and women can gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change, or
pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts and professional studies.
9
Weekend College began in 1982 with 69 students taking courses in three majors. Eight courses were
offered in the first term. Today, with approximately 1,000 students enrolled each term and a variety
of majors in the liberal arts and professional studies, WEC is one of the largest programs of its type
among Minnesota private colleges.
The Adult Learner
Augsburg’s Weekend College is based on the assumption that adult students are mature,
self-disciplined, and motivated learners who seek a combination of classroom experience and
individual study. Each course includes periods of concentrated, on-campus study as well as time for
independent study and class preparation.
Alternate Weekends
To meet the needs of nontraditional students, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for
three-and-a-half to four hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, or
Sunday afternoon. Laboratory sections or additional class hours may be scheduled during the week.
WEC students may take from one to four courses each term. The WEC academic year is divided into
three trimesters (fall, winter, and spring), so that students may complete three terms in the traditional
nine-month academic year.
A Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s Weekend College is participation in a community of adult
learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work
and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages WEC
students to make use of College facilities, such as Lindell Library, and to participate in academic and
co-curricular activities, such as the student newspaper, travel seminars, student organizations, fine
arts events, networking events, workshops, and convocations. The WEC student body elects its own
leaders through the WEC Student Senate.
Augsburg for Adults
Through the Augsburg for Adults program office, Augsburg continues its tradition of innovation to
meet the needs of adult students by creating new programs, providing faculty and staff development
in adult learning, and serving adult and non-traditional students.
Students are recognized as adult learners from age 25 to 60-plus whether they take courses in
the traditional day program, the Weekend College program, or any of the graduate programs. To learn
more about graduate studies at Augsburg, go to www.augsburg.edu/grad.
Weekend College Faculty
The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and the WEC faculty are full-time Augsburg
professors as well as adjunct faculty who bring professional experience to their teaching. Most faculty
hold a doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activities
at the College. Professors are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but
these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty
development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and
theories.
Weekend College’s small classes facilitate the College’s tradition of close involvement between
professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus
activities.

Rochester campus
Augsburg’s branch campus in Rochester was established in 1998 as a natural extension of the
College’s mission and its expertise in teaching working adults. In Rochester, six undergraduate
majors, plus a certificate program in business management, are offered.
The Rochester campus classrooms and offices are located at Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA),
a few blocks south of the heart of the city which is home to about 100,000 residents. It is a city that
enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior technological resources.
Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a trimester schedule with classes taking place on
weekday evenings and on occasional Saturdays, making them accessible to working adults. In
addition to the half- dozen degree programs that can be completed entirely in this location, students
may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of Rochester-based courses and
courses taken in the Day or WEC program in Minneapolis.
Students at the Rochester campus are Augsburg College students. They are supported through
an array of e-learning resources ranging from access to Lindell Library databases to the use of
online course management software. Information about the Rochester campus is available at
www.augsburg.edu/Rochester or by calling the Rochester office at 507-288-2886.
College of the Third Age
Augsburg demonstrates its commitment to lifelong learning in part through its College of the Third
Age. College of the Third Age is a teaching-learning service founded more than 30 years ago to
serve older adults by encouraging lifelong learning, fostering interactive discussion, and introducing
new topics and subjects related to an ever-changing world. A roster of more than 25 retired, semiretired, and working professors teach non-credit seminars for the program, based upon their areas of
expertise.
College of the Third Age partners with organizations and facilities that serve older adults in the
Twin Cities metropolitan area, including churches, synagogues, community centers, and senior
residences. The current catalog lists more than 200 classes available for group study at partner
organizations and facilities. To obtain further information about the program or to request a catalog,

representing a large number of backgrounds, viewpoints, experiences, talents, and cultures.
Selection of students for Augsburg College is based upon careful consideration of each candidate’s
academic achievement, personal qualities and interests, participation in activities and employment,
and potential for development as a student and as a graduate of Augsburg College.
Visit the Campus
Because firsthand appraisal of programs, facilities, and academic atmosphere is valuable, firstyear and transfer applicants are encouraged to visit the campus and meet with an admissions
counselor. Arrangements may be made to meet with a member of the faculty and to attend classes
when school is in session.
Augsburg’s undergraduate admissions staff is ready to help students and families with college
planning. Call any weekday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.—612-330-1001 or toll-free 1-800-7885678, and we’ll assist with your questions and arrange a tour for you. Admissions visits and tours

Application Procedures
Day College First-years
Application for Admission—Applicants should complete the application for admission and the
essay and return them to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions together with the non-refundable
$25 application fee. Students may apply online for free at www.augsburg.edu/day/apply.html or
www.commonapp.org.
Transcripts—An official transcript from the high school is required of first-year applicants. Firstyear applicants who are still high school students at the time of application should have their most
recent transcript sent, followed by a final, official transcript upon graduation. If the student has taken
college courses, an official transcript from the institutions should also be sent. General Education
Development (GED) scores may be presented instead of the high school transcript.
Test Scores—First-year applicants are required to submit results from a college entrance
examination. The American College Test (ACT) is preferred; results from SAT are also accepted. Test
scores recorded on the official high school transcript are sufficient. Augsburg strongly recommends
completing the writing portion of either the ACT or SAT.
Recommendations—Two letters of academic recommendation are required. If the applicant has
been out of school for several years, a letter may be submitted by a supervisor, employer, pastor, or
co-worker.
Additional Information—If there is personal information that may have affected the applicant’s
previous academic performance, it may be included with the application or discussed personally with
an admissions counselor.
On occasion, the Admissions Committee may defer a decision on a candidate’s admission until
other information has been received. For example, more recent test scores, results of the present
16
semester’s coursework, additional letters of recommendation, or writing samples may be requested by
the committee. If any additional credentials are needed, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions will
inform the candidate.
Notification of Admissions Decision—Augsburg College uses a “rolling” admissions plan. The
first offers of admission are made in late September. After that, students are notified of the admissions
decision usually within two weeks after the application file is complete and has been evaluated by the
Admissions Committee.
Confirmation of Admission—Accepted students are asked to make a $150* enrollment deposit
to the Office of Under-graduate Admissions. Those students who wish to live in College housing must
also submit a $200 nonrefundable housing deposit along with the housing contract to the Residence
Life Office. *Nonrefundable after May 1.

First-year applicants who have been out of high school for more than five years do not need to submit
an official test score.

previous academic performance, it may be included with the application or discussed personally

Financing Your Education
All students receive financial help indirectly, since a quality liberal arts education costs more than
tuition and fees cover. The College raises that difference in gifts—from alumni, faculty, staff, parents,
churches, friends, foundations, and endowment income.
However, the primary responsibility for paying for a college education rests on students and their
families. Financial aid is intended to supplement those resources.
