Augsburg College lnterim
The interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. It is particularly
intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning
and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular
term. Since one course equals a full time load, students should plan to spend the same
amount of time in class and preparing for class as thcy would for a four course load during
Fall and Spring semesters.

AUGSBURG COLLEGE (USPS #490-310) is published four times a year in Spring, Summer,
Fall, and Winter by Augsburg College, 731 21st Avenue South, Minneapolis, M N 55454.
Second-class postage paid at Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Essential Information
One course is considered a full time load during interim and no student is permitted to
register for more than one course credit during the period.
There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an interim course.
Most interim courses are graded traditionally on a scale of 4.0 to 0. Students generally have
the option to register on a Pass/No credit basis. A few interim courses are graded only on
the P/N system; this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division standing. Such interim courses
have two numbers listed and the student must select. Students registering for upper division
standing should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard.
To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35 courses of which at least
three must be interim courses (or one interim less than the number of years of full time
enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a transfer enrolled full time for two years is required to
complete one interim for graduation.)
This Catalog
This catalog lists courses by departments with departments listed in alphabetical order. At
the end of the book are listings of other courses not offered by Augsburg but recognized
by the College for interim credit. Further descriptions and information about these courses
are available in the lnterim office, Memorial 230. Students may also register for one of the
Lifetime Sports listed on the last page.

The Biology of Aging
B I O 185-4504
Instructor: Robert Herforth
At some time or another in our lives most of us will either directly experience aging or be
influenced by people undergoing age-related changes. This course will concentrate on the
biological aspects of such changes. What is the nature of these age-related changes?What
factors influence the rate of aging? Do cells isolated from the body show aging? Is aging
the result of deterioration of certain cells or tissues of the body? What are the current
theories as to the biological basis of aging? Is aging controlled by a biological clock?These
and other questions will be addressed in this course by means of classroom lectures and
discussions of assigned readings. Evaluation will be based on several quizzes and exams
given during the course.
The

~~ricul'ture
B I O 234-4505
Instructor: Roberta Lammers
We will be taking a critical look at agriculture from the perspective of biology. What is the
relationship of hunger and starvation to agricultural practices - is agriculture producing
too little food for the world's population? What kinds of environmental effects have resulted
from attempts to increase production in the U.S. and in the third world? What is the nature
of hunger and malnutrition? What effect will biotechnology (genetic engineering, cloning,
etc.) have on agriculture and agricultural production?
Class periods will be a combination of lecture and discussion. Evaluation will be based on
one test, class participation and a log of readings.

Chemistr for Changing Times
CHM 100 - 4 08
Instructor: Arlin Gyberg
This is a non-laboratorychemistry course based on the very popular book by John H. Hill
of the same title. It is not a traditional chemistry course and does not assume a science
background. Basic science and math are introduced early and are taught as needed for
understanding the various topics and implications. The course does assume the student is
interested in and concerned about the relationship of chemistry to life and living.
Chemistry has been intlmately a part of liberal education for centuries. The early scientlsts
were coilsidered to be philosophers and their societies were phitosaphical societies. In
recent decades [he human seeking of p e ~ a n a independence
l
lias led lo chemistry becornlng a pntt of everyday life to Ihe point nf aclual depenrlence on chemislry, We live
in a world of pe~ticidps,fertilizers, plastics, "the pill," foot! additives ant1 pracessed lootl5,
vitamin supplements. the energy crisis, chemical deper~dcncy,biocides, pollutants, drugs,
searching lor life an other planets, genetic ~nanipt~lation,
and it goes on and on. Ernottons
and mental disorders can often be tracctl to chemical imbalan~e.The common dragged
out, grumpy feeling after an allernoon nap is a resul! of a chemical imbalance. The nature
of a liangover is the result of a complex system ol' altered body chemistry. Even learn~ng
appears to be the result of chemical reaction to form a "memory mo!~cule."Most of t h ~
problems we face are molecular in nature. What then but chemistry can better help us to
~~nderstand
ourselves, our society, our world, and our tinlverse? Come join us as we take
a rnolrcular look at the human condition. This course will be offered in a lecture/discussiun
format. Films will supplement the lecture/discussion periods. Quizzes and tests will be
used for evaluation. This course does not satisfy prerequisites for Chemistry 106, 116 or
223.

Teacher Education with New Boundaries
EDE-413-4519, EDS 41 3-4520
Instructor: Lauretta Pelton
This course will give the student the opportunity to expand his/her knowledge about
teacher education and the schools in a chosen geographic area beyond Minnesota. The
student is encouraged to do the greater share of research at the chosen location. This will
include a specified number of days/hours to be spent in a school. This research will also
help the student identify courses s/he can take to fulfill requirements of that locale, and
to better prepare for that setting should s/he choose to live there. The student will research:
1. the professional and licensure requirements of the chosen state or country, its job
market, salary scale and level of living.
2. the expectations in the school curriculum as identified by local and extended educational governing powers.
3. various education concerns such as teacher unions, cultural make-up of the schools
along with related implications, testing-grading-promoting, etc.
Should a student prefer to remain in Minnesota for a specialized study related to curriculum
or school systems, that student will select an area of the elementary curriculum for intensive
study as it is developed and implemented at all grade levels in a specific school district.
The student will acquaint him/herself with: 1) the school's curriculum guide and resources
for that subject area and 2) appropriate resources found outside that school system.
As a result of this research the student will develop and complete one or more education
projects which will be used in future teaching. All activities related to the project will be
submitted in completed form.
Because much of the course will follow the format of an independent study, each student
will contact the instructor prior to December 15, to make known in writing the location
of choice, specific objectives, strategies and evaluative procedures for him/her to fullfill
the requirements of the course.

Since a human being is a besouled body, wholeness must involve bath the mind and the

Is directed by rhtt mind. Dlseese in a person can therefore be approached as a phenomenon
that requires rhe respo,nse hat just of the whole v a n but under the dlrectfan of the

diseases of the mind or the body. Westem and Eastern philasophles ask (he question,
"How can one heal~oneself?'' and have evolved some startling a n w e k about prwpectlve,

show inadequacies and contradictions in cosmology, relativity, macroevolution, and their
links to geology, biology, and the humanities. Space-Age alternatives are also presented
to integrate the flood of news media with past knowledge.
Class instruction and individual research will include study of the historical and modern
impact of math-related cosmic models, and will note some misuses of mathematics which
have elevated some "scientific speculation" into "scientific fact." A written research paper
is required in one of six major areas discussed.

Ethnicity and Community in Urban Society
SOC 261 -4560
Instructor: Gordon Nelson
It has been suggested that the persistence of ethnic neighborhoods in American cities has
functioned as a locus of community in urban life. Moreover, it is argued that these communities have provided stability and identity in the face of the dehumanizing tendencies
in an industrialized and bureaucraticized society. This course will attempt to assess the
extent to which the foregoing assertions might apply to ethnic neighborhoods in the Twin
Cities. After some preliminary background sessions and readings, each member of the class
will be asked, either individually or as part of a group, to explore a particular ethnic
community in the Twin Cities and report back to the class. This class presentation and a
final examination will be the basis of evaluation for the course.

PRESIDENT'S GREETING

President's
Greeting
Experiences during the first year after high school play a major role in
one's development of a philosophy of life. This consequently determines
how one lives his or her life.
Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main
purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a
philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions.
We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a
personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of
both liberal arts and the Scriptures. This is a curriculum we believe will
best help the student understand the world in which he or she will be
living and working.
We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart and a
desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the
Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to
provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life."
Bernt C. Opsal, President

GENERAL INFORMATION
History
Golden Valley Lutheran college is a two-year coeducational liberal arts
college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis. Beginning as a Bible institute in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute
moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929. In 1961 it moved to Golden
Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis. Through the
years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of
people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs
appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly
affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and

GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Philosophy and Objectives
Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution w1tn
programs of study in general education, Biblical literature, music,
physical development, and semi-professional training. It seeks to provide
two years of higher education for students interested in the arts and
sciences, and also to give opportunity for a study of the sources of the
Christian faith. Through special activities the College provides the basis
for personal growth and cultural enrichment. Students are encouraged
to participate in community and church activities.
In order to reach these goals, Golden Valley Lutheran College offers
students a choice of one of the following curricula:
1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions
according to the standards common to the academic enterprise
and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year college or
university.
2. Completion of a two-year program that provides the basis for semiprofessional employment in the fields of church staff work,
mission, secretarial work, sodal service, recreational leadership,
law enforcement and a cooperative computer training program.
3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for
individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or a semiprofessional program.
Golden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular
programs by emphasizing the following objectives with opportunities ...
to develop knowledge of the Judea-Christian world view as set
forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and an
analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her basic
beliefs and spiritual commitments.
to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young
adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including
social improvement, community involvement and active membership in Christian congregations.
to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theatre th rough
courses and cultural events which take place on the campus and in
the metropolitan area.
to attain physical well-being through the application of standards
conducive to good health and through participation in physical
education and sports activities.
to develop personal self-confidence through the determination
of individual goals, the building of relationships with other people
and the experience of companionship in a Christian setting.
GENERAL IN FORMATION
11
Accreditation and Transfer of Credit
Golden Valley Lutheran College received regional accreditation
through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in
July of 1978. Thus, entering students can be confident that if they
make a creditable record at Golden Valley Lutheran College, their
credits will normally transfer to other colleges and universities. Students
who are planning to continue their education at a college with limited
transfer of religion credits may register for the religion courses which are
listed in the liberal arts departments. Through the proper selection, most
religion courses are transferable. A student with a satisfactory academic
record can normally complete a bachelor's degree two full academic
years after receiving the Associate in Arts degree from Golden Valley
Lutheran College.

STUDENT LIFE

STUDENT LIFE
Campus life at Golden Valley Lutheran College provides activities and
experiences which help develop the whole person. The programs of the
College provide wholesome recreation designed to stimulate spiritual
and intellectual growth. Students are involved in the planning of social
activities which can enrich college life and foster friendships.
New Student Pre ... Registration
Prior to the start of the fall quarter, new students are invited to the
campus to participate in pre-registration activities. During this time the
student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College and
meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for the
coming year.
Selected sophomores are available to help the new students become
familiar with and adjust to college life.
Counseling Services
The major decisions which students have to make during their early
college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling provides a
service which helps students learn ways of solving their academic,
vocational, social, emotional and spiritual problems.
Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him or her in
planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each academic term. In
addition to individual counseling, several counseling groups, concerned
with matters such as personal growth, chemical dependency and other
problems, meet regularly. Each student also may make appointments to
visit with instructors, residence hall directors, the deans, the College
nurse or others on the staff who can give assistance.
Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve
their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills,
study skills, or writing skills.
Health Services
The College has a full-ti me registered nurse on the staff to provide basic
medical services. Stu'dents requiring additional treatment are usually
referred to the Golden Valley Clinic which is located less than a mile from
the campus. Major Twin City hospitals also are readily accessible.

and a substantial vertical file in the collection. Through the Minnesota
Interlibrary Telecommunications Exchange (MINITEX) the student has
access to a vast network of more than ten million volumes in a five state
area. In addition, there is a sizeable audiovisual collection including
phonograph records and casssettes, as well as filmstrips with necessary
listening and viewing equipment available to the students.
Insurance
The College does not assume any responsibility for the loss of or
damage to personal property. Many families have homeowners policies
that will cover losses of family members at college.
Housing Services
Golden Valley Lutheran College is primarily a residential college. If
space is available, full-time students live in the College residence halls.
Exceptions are those who are married, commute from their homes, or who
work for their board and room. Students living on campus participate in
the cafeteria program which provides three meals a day, seven days a
week. The price fixed for the weekly 21 meal plan is set with the
knowledge that a certain percentage of the meals will be missed during a
week. Students who are commuting may purchase individual meals in
the College cafeteria.
Student Government and Social Life
A forum for student expression and student-initiated improvements in
campus life is provided by a Student Senate chosen from the student
body. This representative group serves as a coordinator of studentfaculty relations. It seeks continually to improve and make student life
more enjoyable.
The social program of the College is under the supervision of the
Student Activities Commission (SAC). Homecoming, Sno-Daze and the
Spring Banquet are examples of the many social activities available.
Disciplinary problems are arbitrated by the student Judiciary Board.
STUDENT LIFE

Religious life
As an institution of Christian higher education, Golden Valley Lutheran
College believes that religious life activities are an integral part of its
program. Therefore the College provides regularly scheduled chapel
services, campus worship services, transportation to local church services,
all-campus devotions, dormitory devotions and Christian student organizations. Special programs include the Days of Prayer & Praise and the
Christmas Festival of the Christ Child. Religious activities are coordinated
by the faculty Chapel & Special Events Committee and by a student Faith &
Life Commission.
Many students also participate in Christian Service activities in the
community and in world mission activities. The College has a Fellowship
of Christian Athletes chapter in which many students take an active part.
There also is an opportunity to serve on outreach teams which travel to
present the Gospel in word and song.
Chapel
All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel
program. These programs are varied in content. Some are in the nature of
worship services conducted by students, faculty, or guest speakers, while
others include films, lectures, drama, music or other special convocation
programs.
The chapel service is the heart and center of our collegiate program. It
is here that messages are shared from the Scriptures, and opportunity is
given for worship, intellectual stimulation and the development of a
sense of community.
Each student is encouraged to participate in the chapel services of the
college community and to attend public worship every Sunday.
Student Use of Automobiles
Parking space is limited on campus. Those students who do not need
an automobile for commuting or transportation to or from work are
urged not to bring a vehicle to college. Those who do need an
automobile or motorcycle must secure a parking permit through the
business office. The Dean of Students has the right to terminate a permit
at any time if circumstances warrant such action. The College assumes no
responsibility for damage, theft, or vandalism involving student vehicles.

Student Costs
1984~85
The following explains the basic costs to the student and the financial aids that are available to assist the student in meeting these costs.
The College reserves the right to change the costs of tuition, board, room
or fees at any time.
The charges that are made to students for tuition, room and board do
not adequately cover the costs of operating the College. Approximately
35% of the cost of operation must come from gifts and grants. In the
present budget, this amounts to over one million dollars a year.
Therefore, over and above all help given, each student receives the
equivalent of a $2,000 scholarship per year in order to cover the total
expenses of the operation.
The College does not receive direct financial support from any
denomination or Lutheran synod. Gift income is received from congregations, organizations and foundations, and by matching funds from
Lutheran Brotherhood and other corporations.
Most of the funds, however, come as individual gifts from alumni,
parents and friends of the College. Over 600 people are supporting the
College through the INASMUCH program whereby they have pledged
and/or paid from $1,000 to $25,000 over a three year period. As we make
our needs known, the Lord answers our prayers through the gifts of these
many friends.

the top quarter of their high school class or to transfer students who have

26
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Federal Government Aid
Pell Grants are available frorn the federal government for students
meeting certain financial need qualifications. Such grants may total up to
$1,900 per year and do not have to be repaid. Students may apply for this
grant by checking the appropriate box on either the ACT Family Financial
Statement or CSS Financial Aid Form.
National Direct Student Loans are funded by the federal government
and administered by the College. Loans are granted on the basis of
validated financial need. The loans are made at an interest rate of 5% with
the student paying neither interest nor principal until six months after
graduation or leaving college. Repayment must be completed within 10
years.
Guaranteed Student Loans enable eligible students to borrow directly
up to $2,500 annually from participating banks or other lenders at an
interest rate of 8%. Repayment of loan principal and interest begins six
months after graduation or leaving college.
The Minnesota Student Loan Program provides Guaranteed Student
Loans to eligible students who are unable to find a participating lender to
fund them.
Parent Loans for Undergraduate Student (Plus). This program helps
parents borrow money to pay for their children's cost of attending
postsecondary schools without the constraint of collateral securing the
loan. Parents of undergraduate students may borrow $3,000 per year for
each dependent, undergraduate student to a maximum of $15,000 per
student. Repayment begins within 60 days of disbursement. Normal
repayment is made over a five to ten year period at an interest rate of 12%.
The number and amount of each payment depends on the size of the
debt and the parents' ability to pay. The minimum repayment is $600 per
year. PLUS loans do not require a needs test.
Work Opportunities
College Work - Study enables students who demonstrate financial
need an opportunity to help defray college expenses through part-time
employment. Work - Study students may be employed in the cafeteria,
in maintenance, as clerical assistants to professors, library and audiovisual assistants, resident assistants, or in other available positions.
Student Employment. There are numerous part-time employment
positions available in the Golden Valley community and the surrounding
area. Our College bulletin board carries notices of available employment.
Other Assistance Programs
College Payment Schedule: Because most people prefer to pay
educational expenses in installments, Golden Valley Lutheran College
has set up a tuition payment plan. This plan is a convenient payment
program beginning in June and ending in February.
Hidden Subsidy: Golden Valley Lutheran College gives a "hidden
subsidy" each year to every student who attends the College as a full-
FINANCIAL AID
27
time student. This "hidden subsidy" reflects the fact that the total
instructional program at the College costs more than the total amount
received from tuition and fees. Such a "hidden subsidy" is made possible
by gifts from many sources, especially church congregations, alumni, and
friends of the College. The College also receives income from endowment funds.
Lutheran Brotherhood Loan - If a member of the student's family
holds a Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance policy, a student may borrow
up to $2,500 per year from the Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Society
at the same rates described under Federal Insured Student Loans.
Other Grants - There are a number of grants and scholarships
available from other sources. The student is encouraged to consult his or
her high school counselor and the Director of Financial Aid at Golden
Valley Lutheran College for other federal, state, and communitysponsored scholarships and grants.
Procedure for Applying for Financial Aid
1.
To apply for admission to Golden Valley Lutheran College, request
an application form from the Office of Admissions, Golden Valley
Lutheran College, 6125 Olson Highway, Golden Valley, MN 55422.
2. If you are applying only for Golden Valley Lutheran scholarships and
grants - and not for state or federal grants - indicate this on the
Golden Valley Lutheran College Financial Aid Application.
3. To apply for federal or Minnesota aid you must complete a Family
Financial Statement and a Student Data Form using income information
for the 1983 tax year and submit it to ACT. Forms are available from
your high school guidance counselor or by writing the Office of
Admissions at Golden Valley Lutheran College. Although the FFS is
preferred, non-Minnesota residents may submit the CSS Financial
Aid Form. Allow six to eight weeks for processing of the ACT Family
Financial Statement.
4. Since all financial aid programs have limited funds, within ten days of
our notifying you that you will receive financial aid you must let us
know that you accept the offer. Funds that are not accepted are given
to other students who need them.
All types of financial assistance are made for only one academic year.
Students, however, may expect to receive financial assistance for the
second year if they remain in good academic and personal standing and if
their financial need continues. If a student withdraws during any quarter,
he or she forfeits the entire amount of gift aid that has been awarded
from College funds for the quarter. He or she also forfeits proportionate
amounts of aid awarded from state or federal funds for that quarter.
Golden Valley Lutheran College makes every effort to enable all
accepted students to attend regardless of financial resources. Your
financial need may be met through a combination of federal, state, and
institutional financial aid programs. We encourage students and parents
to visit campus to discuss financial planning.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM
31
ACA EMIC PROGRAM
Golden Valley Lutheran College grants three types of two-year
completion awards: the Associate in Arts Degree (Liberal Arts and
Transfer Program), the Associate in Arts Degree (Specialized Program),
and the Junior College Certificate. A one-year Vocational Certificate is
awarded for completion of a selected one-year vocational curriculum.
Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution which allows
a student to concentrate in the areas of general education, Biblical and
theological studies, or a specific vocation.
Students who plan to earn a four-year degree are encouraged to satisfy
general education requirements while attending Golden Valley Lutheran
College. When this suggestion is followed, students may concentrate on
their major and other requirements during the last two years of college.
General education courses invite the student to learn about the world,
the scientific method, the society in which he or she lives, the fine arts
and humanities, and the eternal values perceived in Biblical and
theological studies.
General Academic Information
Credit load and Student Classification
A normal credit load consists of 16 credits per quarter. Exceptions to
this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's
academic advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be
granted by the Academic Dean. Individuals enrolled for 12 or more
credits per quarter are considered full-time students. Individuals with
less than 12 credits are considered part-time students. A student who has
earned less than 45 cumulative credits is classified as a freshman. A
student who has earned 45 or more cumulative credits is classified as a
sophomore.
The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities
are needed by students interested in earning college credit. Auditors are
required to do all work assigned by the instructor and tuition costs are the
same as costs for credit.

GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN.COLLEGE
Grading and Honor Point System
/\ student's grade point average is computed at the end of each
quarter. The grade point average is determined by dividing the number
of earned honor points by the number of credits attempted. Honor
points are computed by the following scale:
Honor Points

*Incomplete work, must be made up satisfactorily by the end of the
fourth week of the next term the student attends or within one year if the
student does not return to Golden Valley Lutheran College. If a student
desires an extension beyond four weeks, he or she must secure approval
of the instructor involved and must petition the Scholastic Standing
Committee for the extension. If the work is not completed in the allotted
time, the grade becomes an F.
**Withdrawals after the third week of classes and through mid-term
are indicated by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after
the mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each
quarter by a W, WF, or Fas determined by the instructor. A student may
not drop a course after final examinations begin.
***The grading system of Sand U is used only for those courses which
are taken to meet the requirements of the Junior College Certificate. An
S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior College Certificate
only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The U
grade yields no honor points or credits.
Academic Honors
An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a grade
point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each term. Those
students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or better are included
on the Dean's List.
ACADEMIC PROGRAM
33
Academic Progress
In accordance with policies established by the administration and
faculty, a student will be counseled in relation to academic progress
toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when a student's grade point
average is less than 2.00; (b) when his or her transcript shows two or more
grades of I (Incomplete) in one quarter. If a student's grade point average
falls below 1.50 he or she will be placed on academic probation until the
grade point average is raised to 1.50 or above. The College reserves the
right to dismiss a student if his or her academic performance is regarded
as unsatisfactory.
Eligibility for Varsity Sports
Eligibility rules for participation in varsity sports at Golden Valley
Lutheran College conform to the National Junior College Athletic
Association eligibility rules. In general, in order to participate in a varsity
sport, a student must be a full-time (12 credits) student during the
qualifying and competing quarter. During the qualifying quarter, he or
she must earn a grade point average of 1.5 or better in at least 10 hours of
course work listed in the College Catalog. Freshmen enrolled at GVLC in
their first quarter of college are exempt from the qualifying quarter
requirements. A student's eligibility is reviewed each quarter and all
hours of a complete course (subject) must be counted in computing a
student's grade point average. (See NJCAA Eligibility Rules.)
No student shall be certified on an eligibility list until the College has
received the final transcript indicating the high school graduation date
and any college transcript(s), if another college has been previously
attended. The responsibility to obtain any such transcripts rests upon the
individual student.
Credit by Special Examination
Under special circumstances, a student may seek to gain credits or
exemption by special examination, in accordance with specific departmental policies.
Transfer Students
The actual number of credits accepted in transfer from other institutions
are entered on the student's record, but transferred credits and grade
points are not included in the computation of the grade point average.
Transfer credit will not be granted for courses in which a grade below
C- was received.
34
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Class Attendance
Each student is responsible for regular class attendance and for
completing work as required in each class. With respect to unexcused
absences, excused absences, or make-up work, it is the student's
responsibility to learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's
policy is usually stated in the course outline. At the discretion of the
instructor, a student may be withdrawn from a course for an excessive
number of unexcused absences or uncompleted assignments.
Independent Study
A maximum of six credits in Independent Study may be applied toward
the Associate in Arts Degree. The student must meet the criteria
established by the department and have the approval of the chairperson of
the department in which he or she plans to do the study. Standards
require a 3.0 average in the department in which Independent Study is
taken, a limit of four credits per term in Independent Study, and a
demonstration of relevance to the student's academic objectives. Independent Study applications are available in the Registrar's Office.
Bible and English Requirements
All students enrolled for eight credits or more are required to take at
least one Bible course each quarter that they attend classes at the
College. A student who transfers from another college is not required to
complete the full 18 credits in Bible but is required to take one course
each quarter while enrolled at the College. All Bible core courses listed in
the Department of Biblical Studies will satisfy this requirement.
All degree seeking students are required to register for English until
the sequence, English 111and112 - College Composition, and English
113 - Introduction to Literature, has been completed. Placement in
English 100, 110, or 111 will be determined by specific English Placement
tests administered to all new students during student orientation in the
fall, or at the time of their registration for winter or for spring quarters.
Co-Curricular Activity Credits
A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied toward
an Associate in Arts Degree. The three credits of required physical
education are not included in this category. Co-curricular activities
include all music ensembles, theatre practice, Christian service, additional physical education activity courses after the three required courses
are completed, and activity credits that a transfer student might bring to
the College.
With regard to co-curricular activities other than varsity sports, a
student who earns a grade point average of less than 1.Sfor a quarter may
have co-curricular activities curtailed or programs of study reduced, at
the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee.
ACADEMIC PROGRAM
35
Orientation and Registration
All students must report to the College for Orientation Days as
indicated in the calendar in this catalog.
The orientation period includes a series of placement and personality
tests which are used to provide a more effective placement and
counseling service for students. Both new and returning students are
required to register on the days indicated in the calendar.
Registration is not completed until the student has made settlement for
the quarter charges at the Bookkeeping Office.
All students have at their disposal the advice and counsel of faculty
advisors. Before registering for any term, the student must consult with
his or her advisor concerning the schedule of study. The selection of the
proper courses is the individual student's responsibility.
Changes in Registration
Necessary changes to eliminate conflicts and to correct evident
mistakes in registration may be permitted during the first ten days of
classes, with the written approval of the academic advisor. A Change of
Course Permit for this purpose may be obtained in the Registrar's Office.
After the tenth day, no regularly scheduled classes may be added except
by special permission.
Repeating a Course
A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has been
received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at the time of
registration for the course. If a student repeats a course in which a Dor F
grade has been received, only the more recent grade and credit earned
will be included in the computation of the grade point average. Both
grades, however, will remain on the student's permanent record.
Withdrawals from the College
A student who wishes to withdraw from the College during any term,
must make application for this action in the Office of the Registrar.
Failure to comply with this regulation may deprive a student of refund
privileges and result in an F grade in all classes. Partial refunds on fees
already paid will be based on the date the application was signed and
returned to the Registrar's Office.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
37
GRADUATION
REQUIREMENTS
The responsibility rests with the student for seeing that his or her
program includes all requirements for graduation.
Applicants for admission should study the requirements for graduation outlined in this section of the catalog and plan their college
program as a whole as early as possible. A student who is in doubt about
how certain requirements are interpreted should consult with his or her
academic advisor, the Registrar, or the Academic Dean. When circumstances might warrant a justifiable modification in a requirement, a
petition (obtained from the Registrar) should be submitted to the
Committee on Academic Affairs.

Purpose
Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative to
adults who desire college experience but who work or have other
commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women
may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for professional
advancement, prepare for career change, or pursue a personal interest
in one or more areas of the liberal arts.
The Adult as Student
The Augsburg Weekend College program is designed to meet the
needs and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the
assumption that the men and women who enroll in Weekend College
will be mature, self-disciplined and well-motivated adult learners who
seek a balance of classroom experience and individualized study. Each
course is therefore divided into periods of concentrated on-campus
study separated by time for independent study and class preparation.
Alternate Weekends
To accommodate this format for learning, classes meet on alternate
weekends for three and a half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday
morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. Each class selected
by the student involves commitment to one of these four class periods.
Weekend College students may take from one to four different courses
by attending class every other weekend.
Community of Learners
This bulletin is published for the convenience of Augsburg Weekend
College students. Weekend College is a program of Augsburg
College and is subject to the policies and provisions as stated in the
Augsburg College catalog.
Essential to the goals of Augsburg Weekend College is participation in a
community of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the
student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and
encouragement to become involved in interaction both in and out of the
classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of both
men and women with a variety of work and life experiences.
To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages
Weekend College students to make use of college facilities such as the
library and college center, to take the opportunity of having shared
meals and coffee breaks, to participate in optional chapel services and
lunchtime seminars, and to attend other college activities such as music
and dramatic presentations and athletic events.

CHARACTERISTICS
OF T.HE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
Educational Mission
For over a century Augsburg College has emphasized intellectual
freedom in the search for knowledge. Our academic program builds on
a liberal arts foundation to help students understand the past, interpret
the present, and plan for the future.

students a unique combination of the liberal arts disciplines and
professional education. Our goals are to help students develop the
intellectual skills and attitudes to be lifelong learners, increase their
competence in selected areas of professional work, and accomplish a
higher level of personal growth.

efficient, effective planning. Students enrolling in Weekend College who

ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS
LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM
FEES AND PAYMENT SCHEDULE
Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in
many life situations. Some of t h ~ slearning may be appropriate for credit
recognition within the disciplines thai compose the academic programs
of a liberal arts college. The APL program (Assessment of Previous
Learning) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous
learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited
institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward
the completion of a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit
recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two
essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within
the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and (2) it can be objectively
demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee
evaluation.
The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which
students may have' their previous learning assessed for credit
recognition:

variety of general and specific subject areas. For more information,

courses of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative GPA

Introduction to Interim
Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. The college follows a 4-1-4calendar, with Fall and Spring
semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week
January Interim. Interim is particularly intended to be a time
for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and
learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and
ways not possible during the regular term. There will be no
summer Interim in 1986.
Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students
should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as they would for a four-courseload during Fall
and Spring semesters. Students can register for only one
course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a
student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0
scale. Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/
No credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the P/
N system; this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division
standing. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and
the student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a
more rigorous grading standard.
To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35
courses of which at least three must be Interim courses (or one
Interim less than the number of years of full-time enrollment at
Augsburg; e.g., a transfer enrolled full time for two years is required to complete one Interim for graduation).
Augsburg Policy
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.

Options
International Interims-Students are invited to be part of one
of the 27 international interims offered by the Upper Midwest
Association for International Education (UMAIE). These
course opportunities are listed near the end of this catalog.
Internships-Students electing an internship must present a
completed internship learning contract to the Internship Office
(Memorial 230) no later than Tuesday, November 26. Contract
forms are available in the same office.
Independent or Directed Study-Students may elect a program
of independent study (upper division 499) or directed study
(lower division 299) for Interim. Faculty members are strongly
discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent or directed study per interim. Students choosing to
pursue independent or directed study must:
1. Meet departmental requirements.
2. Present to the Registrar for approval a copy of the proposed
study plan approved by the supervising faculty member.
This proposal must be submitted at least one week before
registration and no later than December 4. Appropriate
study proposal forms can be obtained in the Interim Office.
Interims at Other Schools-Augsburg students may enroll at
any other 4-1-4institution which offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these Interims can be consulted in the
Interim Office. The Interim Secretary will help students in applying for registration at other schools. Registration for Interims at the other Twin Cities colleges will be done at Augsburg
during the regular registration period. Most courses taught
during the Interim at other 4-1-4schools are accepted for credit
by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as meeting
Augsburg's distribution requirements. This qualification particularly affects courses offered for the Religion requirement.
Visiting Students
Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-1-4 schools
for the January Interim without tuition charges provided the
student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition does
not include special fees, housing or board costs. Other students
will be charged $495 for the Interim course. Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write to
the Interim Director for application forms or use the forms provided by the interim office at their own school. There is an application processing fee of $10. Students are welcome to stay on
campus but are not required to do so. Requests for Interim
housing should be made to the Interim Office.

investigated in this course. However, to the vast majority of biologists evolution is accepted as a fact, and the evidence in its support will be examined.
Biologists do not agree concerning the mechanisms and pace of
evolution. Indeed, theories as to these matters have evolved and
continue to do so. Much of the course will involve historical study
of evolutionary thought from pre-Darwiniantimes to the present.
F'inaUx we will address the course of evolution from the origin of
life itself to the origin of human life.
There will be a variety of readings, and classes will consist of lectures and discussions. Grading will be based primarily on quizzes
and tests.

II Augsburg Goes to Business
BUS 321-46010
Instructor:Thomas Morgan
"Augsburg Goes to Business" is a one-month senior seminar for
business and economics majors. The goal of the seminar is to provide a better understanding of the diversity in organizations and
the varied environments in which and the many constraints with
which they must operate. Three objectives emerge:
1. to develop a clearer understanding of how the different functional areas of an organization operate on a day to day basis
and how these "parts" are integrated into the overall operation of the firm.
2. to examine the extent to which "textbook approaches" correspond to "real world" situations and are able to accornrnodate practical application.
3. to explore potential conflicts between individual (personal
and career) goals and the goals of the organization; addressing how these conflicts may be resolved.

Although the course will not involve a systematic analysis of the
history of the form of the short story, a sufficient number of classics will be assigned for the student to appreciate the historical
development from Poe to Beattie. The course will involve practice
in ways of approaching literature and will include study of the basic critical terminology, so it would be an appropriate course for
students who have not yet studied literature at the college level.

Throughout history physicists and in fact dl scientitsts. ha,ve endeavored In cwmprehend the physical world in all its pnerdity by
formulating pbsical law^ in the concise language of rnathcmatics. However, these mathematical ecluations which describe physi-
calayaterns a r o rarely solvable in nnalytictal closed form. Tlzerefore, an appreciation l'or and an und~rstandingof' approximation
and nume~.lcal
techniques is essentid for a prmticjng sciontist.
In this course we will study 1)Numerical integration; 2) Solutions
to 1st order differential equation: 3) Sch~dinger'sequation (an
example of a 2nd order differential equation).
The solution to Schrodinger's equation is important in physics
and chemistry and therefore we will devote a substantial amount
of c h s time to it.
Student performance will be based on problem assignments and
computer projects.

About Augsburg College -Campus Location

Purpose
Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative to
adults who desire college experience but who work or have other
commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women
may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for professional
advancement, prepare for career change, or pursue a personal interest
in one or more areas of the liberal arts.
The Adult as Student
The Augsburg Weekend College program is designed to meet the
needs and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the
assumption that the men and women who enroll in Weekend College
will be mature, self-disciplined and well-motivated adult learners who
seek a balance of classroom experience and individualized study. Each
course is therefore divided into periods of concentrated on-campus
study separated by time for independent study and class preparation.
Alternate Weekends
To accommodate this format for learning, classes meet on alternate
weekends for three and a half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday
morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. Each class selected
by the student involves commitment to one of these four class periods.
Weekend College students may take from one to four different courses
by attending class every other weekend.
Community of Learners
This bulletin is published for the convenience of Augsburg Weekend
College students. Weekend College is a program of Augsburg
College and is subject to the policies and provisions as stated in the
Augsburg .College catalog.
Essential to the goals of Augsburg Weekend College is participation in a
community of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the
student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and
encouragement to become involved in interaction both in and out of the
classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of both
men and women with a variety of work and life experiences.
To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages
Weekend College students to make use of college facilities such as the
library and college center, to take the opportunity of having shared
meals and coffee breaks, to participate in optional chapel services and
lunchtime seminars, and to attend other college activities such as music
and dramatic presentations and athletic events.

Augsburg Weekend College provides a number of student services to
assist adults in making educational and career plans, accomplishing the
academic tasks of a college education, working on their own personal
development, and participating in activities beyond the classroom.
Some of these services are:
Academic Planning
All Augsburg Weekend College students will have access to expert
academic advising services on an on-going basis to provide for
efficient, effective planning. Students enrolling in Weekend College who
have had college experience will have their previous work evaluated
early in the admissions process.
Career Planning Services
Staff from the Career Planning and Placement Office will assist adults in
assessing their career goals and personal abilities. This service, in
combination with sound academic advising from faculty in a chosen
major field, can result in an appropriate and manageable educational
and career plan for the individual involved.
Academic Skills Center
This center exists to help students enhance their skills in the areas of
writing, reading, math, time management, and study skills. Academic
tutors in specialized course areas are also available through the Center.
CounselinglSupport Groups
Individual and group activities are available to students who wish to
work on a personal growth interest or concern or who simply want to
have the experience of being in a support group of people who share
some similar characteristics and/or interests.
DEAN'S LIST
The Dean's list is published after each trimester, listing students whose grade
point average for the trimester is 3.5 or better, based on a minimum of two full
courses, or equivalent, graded on the traditional grading system, with no
incompletes in the courses offered for credit.
ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS
LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM
Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in
many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit
recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic programs
of a liberal arts college. The APL program (Assessment of Previous
Learning) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous
learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited
institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward
the completion of a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit
recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two
essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within
the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and (2) it can be objectively
demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee
evaluation.
The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which
students may have their previous learning assessed for credit
recognition:
CLEP (College Level Examination Program)
Students who achieve acceptable scores in CLEP exams may receive
academic credit in Augsburg College. CLEP exams are available in a
variety of general and specific subject areas. For more information,
contact the Admissions Office (330-1002).
Departmental Assessment
Students who wish to receive credit for a specific academic course and
do not have transcript evidence of completed work may request a
departmental assessment of previous learning. This will most often
include an examination that covers the essential components of the
course involved. For more information, contact the Registrar's
Office (330-1036).
CAP (Credit Assessment Process)
This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty committee
completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the
student. Informational meetings and consultation are provided for
students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit
assessment. Students may apply for CAP after completing at least four
courses of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative GPA
of at least 2.5. For more information, contact the Registrar's
Office (330-1036).

ABOUT AUGSBURG COLLEGE
History
Augsburg College was founded in 1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin and
moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The name Augsburg College and
Seminary changed in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged
with The American Lutheran Church.
Location
Augsburg's 23 acre campus is in the heart of the Twin Cities
metropolitan area, only blocks from downtown Minneapolis and the
intersection of Interstate Highways 94 and 35W. Adjacent to the
campus are Fairview and St. Mary's hospitals, the West Bank campus
of the University of Minnesota and the Mississippi River parkways.
Campus
Skyways, tunnels and elevators provide accessible connection between
9 of the 14 major buildings-student housing towers, College Center,
main academic and administrative halls, the Library and Music building.
Accessibility
We have made a major effort to become one of the most accessible
campuses in the region. Our skyway-tunnel system lets you reach any
of the nine major buildings without going outside. In addition to building
changes, we have a student-run program to increase awareness and
provide extra help for students with disabilities.
Church Affiliation
Augsburg is a college of The American Lutheran Church. About 51 % of
the students are Lutheran, 15% other Protestant and 15% Roman
Catholic. Several other affiliations are represented among students and
faculty.
Nondiscrimination Policy
Augsburg College does not 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 admission policies,
educational programs, activities, and employment practices.

PRESIDENT'S GREETING

President's
Greeting
Experiences during the first year after high school play a major role in
one's development of a philosophy of life. This consequently determines
how one lives his or her life.
Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a philosophy
of life founded on Christian convictions.
We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of both
liberal arts and the Scriptures. This is a curriculum we believe will best
help the student understand the world in which he or she will be living
and working.
We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart and a
desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the
Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life."
Bernt C. Opsal, President
GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION
History
Golden Valley Lutheran College is a two-year coeducational liberal
arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis. Beginning as a Bible institute in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute
moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929. In 1961 it moved to Golden
Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis. Through the
years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of
people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs
appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly
affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and
seeks to serve all synods and society as a whole. The College admits
qualified men and women from various geographic, cultural, economic,
racial, and religious backgrounds.
The Campus and Its Location
Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre
campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis. The greater
Twin City area is a cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper
Midwest.
The academic life of the students is centered in a large two-level complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a prayer
chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and lounges are
located in this building.
Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta
dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities include
fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer and meditation,
and apartments for residence hall directors. Adjacent to Gamma dormitory is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student
center is located in Delta dormitory.

GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Philosophy and Objectives
Colden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution with programs of study in general education, Biblical literature, music, physical
development, and semi-professional training. It seeks to provide two
years of higher education for students interested in the arts and sciences,
and also to give opportunity for a study of the sources of the Christian
faith. Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment. Students are encouraged to
participate in community and church activities.
In order to reach these goals, Colden Valley Lutheran College offers
students a choice of one of the following curricula:
1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions
according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and
that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year college or university.
2. Completion of a two-year program that provides the basis for semiprofessional employment in the fields of church staff work, mission,
administrative assistant, law enforcement, and a cooperative computer training program.
3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or a semi-professional
program.
Colden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular
programs by emphasizing the following objectives with opportunities ...
to develop knowledge of the Judeo-Christian world view as set forth
in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and an analysis on
the part of each student concerning his or her basic beliefs and
spiritual commitments.
to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young adults
as they move into the many areas of national life, including social
improvement, community involvement and active membership in
Christian congregations.
to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theatre through
courses and cultural events which take place on the campus and in
the metropolitan area.
to attain physical well-being through the application of standards
conducive to good health and through participation in physical
education and sports activities.
to develop personal self-confidence through the determination of
individual goals, the building of relationships with other people,
and the experience of companionship in a Christian setting.

STUDENT LIFE
Campus life at Golden Valley Lutheran College provides activities and
experiences which help develop the whole person. The programs of the
College provide wholesome recreation designed to stimulate spiritual
and intellectual growth. Students are involved in the planning of social
activities which can enrich college life and foster friendships.
New Student Pre-Registration
Prior to the start of the fal I quarter, new students are invited to the
campus to participate in pre-registration activities. During this time the
student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College and
meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for
the coming year.
Selected sophomores are available to help the new students become
familiar with and adjust to college life.
Counseling Services
The major decisions which students have to make during their early
college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling provides a
service which helps students learn ways of solving their academic, vocational, social, emotional and spiritual problems.
Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him or her
in planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each academic term.
In addition to individual counseling, several counseling groups, concerned with matters such as personal growth, chemical dependency and
other problems, meet regularly. Each student also may make appointments to visit with instructors, residence hall directors, the deans, the
College nurse or others on the staff who can give assistance.
Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve
their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills,
study skills, or writing skills.
Health Services
The College has a full-time registered nurse on the staff to provide
basic medical services. Students requiring additional treatment are
usually referred to the Golden Valley Clinic which is located less than a
mile from the campus. Major Twin City hospitals also are readily accessible.

GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Library
The library, located on the ground floor of the Main building, provides
a variety of materials and services to support the college curricula. There
are over 32,000 volumes, 245 periodicals, local and national newspapers,
and a substantial vertical file in the collection. Through the Minnesota
Interlibrary Telecommunications Exchange (MINITEX) the student has
access to a vast network of more than ten million volumes in a five state
area. In addition, there is a sizeable audiovisual collection including
phonograph records and cassettes, as well as filmstrips with necessary
listening and viewing equipment available to the students.
Insurance
The College does not assume any responsibility for the loss of or
damage to personal property. Many families have homeowners policies
that will cover losses of family members at college.
Housing Services
Golden Valley Lutheran College is primarily a residential college. If
space is available, full-time students live in the College residence halls.
Exceptions are those who are married, commute from their homes, or
who work for their board and room. Students living on campus participate in the cateteria program which provides three meals a day, seven
days a week. The price fixed for the weekly 21-meal plan is set with the
knowledge that a certain percentage of the meals will be missed during a
week. Students who are commuting may purchase individual meals in
the College cafeteria.
Student Government and Social Life
A forum for student expression and student-initiated improvements in
campus life is provided by a Student Senate chosen from the student
body. This representative group serves as a coordinator of studentfaculty relations. It seeks continually to improve and make student life
more enjoyable.
The social program of the College is under the supervision of the
Student Activities Commission (SAC). Homecoming, Sno-Daze and the
Spring Banquet are examples of the many social activities available.
Guidance regarding student life on campus is provided by the Student
Life Handbook.
STUDENT LIFE
15
Religious Life
As an institution of Christian higher education, Golden Valley
Lutheran College believes that religious life activities are an integral part
of its program. Therefore the College provides regularly scheduled
chapel services, campus worship services, transportation to local church
services, all-campus devotions, dormitory devotions and Christian
student organizations. Special programs include the Days of Prayer &
Praise and the Christmas Festival of the Christ Child. Religious activities
are coordinated by the faculty Chapel & Special Events Committee and
by a student Faith & Life Commission.
Many students also participate in Christian Service activities in the
community and in world mission activities. The College has a fellowship
of Christian Athletes chapter in which many students take an active part.
There also is an opportunity to serve on outreach teams which travel to
present the Gospel in word and song.
Chapel
All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel program. These programs are varied in content. Some are worship services
conducted by students, faculty, or guest speakers, while others include
films, lectures, drama, music or other special convocation programs.
Chapel is the heart and center of our collegiate program. It is here that
messages are shared from the Scriptures, and opportunity is given for
worship, intellectual stimulation and the development of a sense of community.
Each student is encouraged to participate in chapel programs of the
college community and to attend public worship every Sunday.
Student Use of Automobiles
Parking space is limited on campus. Those students who do not need
an automobile for commuting or transportation to or from work are
urged not to bring a vehicle to college. Those who do need an automobile or motorcycle must secure a parking permit through the Business
Office. The Dean of Students has the right to terminate a permit at any
time if circumstances warrant such action. The College assumes no
responsibility for damage, theft, or vandalism involving student vehicles.

GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Colden Valley Lutheran College strongly discourages all students from
using alcohol and/or mood altering drugs. Students possessing, using, or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs on campus, in college-approved
housing, or at college-sponsored events both on and off campus will be
subject to disciplinary action. In instances where college officials are
informed that Colden Valley Lutheran College students have caused a
disturbance off campus in connection with the use of alcohol or drugs
the College reserves the right to take disciplinary action.

pertaining to the illegal use of alcohol or drugs. A student who uses,

of the law will be subject to disciplinary action. The College's action will
be determined by the circumstances surrounding each individual case.

with chemical dependency problems.
Athletics
Through the physical education and athletic programs the College
seeks to teach the value of good health and physical fitness, to cultivate
interest in the proper use of leisure time, to develop character and good
sportsmanship and to give instruction in various sports and games used in
recreational activities. Intercollegiate athletic competition for men is
available in football, baseball, basketball, soccer, track, marathon, and
cross country. Women may participate in intercollegiate basketball,
cross country, softball, volleyball, marathon and track competition. The
College is a member of the Minnesota Community College Conference,
and the National Junior College Athletic Association.
Intramural programs are available for both men and women. These include activities such as volleyball, basketball, broomball and softball.
Music
Colden Valley Lutheran College is sensitive to the cultural and
spiritual values that music contributes to our society. It desires, therefore, to cultivate and nurture student interest and participation in music

selected group of 65 voices; the Madrigal Singers, a smaller ensemble
which specializes in certain types of music literature; the Colden Valley

The location of the College in the Twin City area provides opportunity
for students to gain a new appreciation of the fine arts. Community concerts, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Minneapolis Civic Orchestra, the
St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and programs given by other colleges including the University of Minnesota, offer continuing opportunities for
cultural enrichment.

The drama program at Golden Valley Lutheran College is two-fold in
its purpose. It attempts to expose the student to the inner workings of the
College theatre, and it seeks to foster a sense of appreciation for drama
by encouraging active participation in the field.

A chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, a national honor society for two-year
colleges, was established in 1981 at Golden Valley Lutheran College. The
purpose of the honor society is to recognize and encourage scholarship.

former students to maintain an on-going relationship with the College
and with each other. It seeks to develop a well-informed and supportive
group of alumni through social events and programs planned each year.

COSTS
Student Costs 1985-86
The following sections explain the basic costs to the student and the
financial aids that are available to assist the student in meeting these
costs. The College reserves the right to change the costs of tuition, board,
room or fees at any time.
The charges that are made to students for tuition, room and board do
not adequately cover the costs of operating the College. Approximately
35% of the cost of operation must come from gifts and grants. In the
present budget, this amounts to over one million dollars a year. Therefore, over and above any financial aid given, each student receives the
equivalent of a $2,000 scholarship per year in order to cover the total
expenses of the operation.
The College does not receive direct financial support from any
denomination or Lutheran synod. Gift income is received from congregations, organizations and foundations, and by matching funds from
corporations.
Most of the funds, however, come as individual gifts from alumni,
parents and friends of the College. Over 600 people are supporting the
College through the INASMUCH program whereby they have pledged
and/or paid from $1,000 to $25,000 over a three-year period. As we make
our needs known, the Lord answers our prayers through the gifts of these
many friends.

Other Assistance Programs
College Payment Schedule: Because many people prefer to pay educational expenses in installments, Golden Valley Lutheran College has set
up a tuition payment plan. This plan is a convenient payment program
beginning in June and ending in February.
Hidden Subsidy: Golden Valley Lutheran College gives a "hidden subsidy" each year to every student who attends the College as a full-time
student. This "hidden subsidy" reflects the fact that the total instruc-
FINANCIAL AID
27
tional program at the College costs more than the total amount received
from tuition and fees. Such a "hidden subsidy" is made possible by many
gifts from many sources, especially church congregations, alumni, and
friends of the College. The College also receives income from endowment funds.
Lutheran Brotherhood Loan: If a member of the student's family holds
a Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance policy, a student may borrow up to
$2,500 per year from the Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Society at the
same rates described under Federal Insured Student Loans.
Other Grants: There are a number of grants and scholarships available
from other sources. The student is encouraged to consult his or her high
school counselor and the Director of Financial Aid at Golden Valley
Lutheran College for other federal, state, and community-sponsored
scholarships and grants.
Procedure for Applying for Financial Aid
1. Apply and be accepted for admission to Golden Valley Lutheran College. Request an application form from the Office of Admissions,
Golden Valley Lutheran College, 6125 Olson Highway, Golden Valley,
MN 55422.
2. If you are applying only for Golden Valley Lutheran College scholarships and grants, and not for state or federal grants, indicate this on
the Golden Valley Lutheran College Financial Aid Application.
3. To apply for federal or Minnesota aid you must complete a Family
Financial Statement (FFS) and a Student Data Form using income information for the 1984 tax year and submit it to ACT. Forms are available from your high school guidance counselor or by writing the
Office of Admissions at Golden Valley Lutheran College. Although the
FFS is preferred, non-Minnnesota residents may submit the CSS Financial Aid Form. Allow six to eight weeks for processing of the ACT Family Financial Statement.
4. Since all financial aid programs have limited funds, within ten days of
our notifying you that you will receive financial aid you must let us
know that you accept the offer. Funds that are not accepted are given
to other students who need them.
All types of financial assistance are made for only one academic year.
Students, however, may expect to receive financial assistance for the
second year if they remain in good academic and personal standing and
if their financial need continues. If a student withdraws during any
quarter, he or she forfeits the entire amount of gift aid that has been
awarded from College funds for the quarter. He or she also forfeits proportionate amounts of aid awarded from state or federal funds for that
quarter.
Golden Valley Lutheran College makes every effort to enable all
accepted students to attend regardless of financial resources. Your financial need may be met through a combination of federal, state, and
institutional financial aid programs. We encourage students and parents
to visit campus to discuss financial planning.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM
31
ACADEMIC PROGRAM
Golden Valley Lutheran College grants three types of two-year
completion awards: the Associate in Arts Degree (Liberal Arts and Transfer Program), the Associate in Arts Degree (Specialized Program), and the
Junior College Certificate.
Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution which
allows a student to concentrate in the areas of general education,
Biblical and theological studies, or a specific vocation.
Students who plan to earn a four-year degree are encouraged to satisfy
general education requirements while attending Golden Valley Lutheran
College. When this suggestion is followed, students may concentrate on
their major and other requirements during the last two years of college.
General education courses invite the student to learn about the world,
the scientific method, the society in which he or she lives, the fine arts
and humanities, and the eternal values perceived in Biblical and theological studies.
General Academic Information
Credit load and Student Classification
A normal credit load consists of 16 credits per quarter. Exceptions to
this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's
academic advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be
granted by the Academic Dean. Individuals enrolled for 12 or more
credits per quarter are considered full-time students. Individuals with
less than 12 credits are considered part-time students. A student who has
earned less than 45 cumulative credits is classified as a freshman. A
student who has earned 45 or more cumulative credits is classified as a
sophomore.
The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities
are needed by students interested in earning college credit. Auditors are
required to do all work assigned by the instructor and tuition costs are
the same as costs for credit.
32
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Grading and Honor Point System
A student's grade point average is computed at the end of each
quarter. The grade point average is determined by dividing the number of
earned honor points by the number of credits attempted. Honor points
are computed by the following scale:
Honor Points

*A grade of I will be granted to a student for reasons beyond the
student's control if the student has done satisfactory work prior to the
emergency and after consultation by the student with the course instructor. Incomplete work must be made up satisfactorily by the end of
the fourth week of the next term the student attends or within one year if
the student does not return to Colden Valley Lutheran College. If a
student desires an extension beyond four weeks, he or she must secure
approval of the instructor involved and must petition the Scholastic
Standing Committee for the extension. If the work is not completed in the
allotted time, the grade becomes an F.
**Withdrawals after the third week of classes and through mid-term
are indicated by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after
the mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each
quarter by a W, WF, or Fas determined by the instructor. A student may
not withdraw from a course after final examinations begin.
***The grading system of Sand U is used only for those courses which
are taken to meet the requirements of the Junior College Certificate. An S
counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior College Certificate
only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The U
grade yields no honor points or credits.
Academic Honors
An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a grade
point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each term. Those
students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or better are included
on the Dean's List.
ACADEMIC PROGRAM
33
Academic Progress
In accordance with policies established by the administration and
faculty, a student will be r:ounseled in relation to academic progress
toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when a student's grade point
average is less than 2.00; (b) when his or her transcript shows two or more
grades of I (Incomplete) in one quarter. If a student's grade point average
falls below 1.50 he or she will be placed on academic probation. The
College reserves the right to dismiss a student if his or her academic performance is regarded as unsatisfactory.
A student who earns a grade point average of less than 1.5 for a quarter
may have co-curricular activites curtailed or programs of study reduced
at the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee.
U nsatisfadory Academic Progress

making unsatisfactory progress if the student fails to earn 31 credits within each academic year.

Lutheran College conform to the National Junior College Athletic Association eligibility rules. In general, in order to participate in a varsity sport,
a student must be a full-time (12 credits) student during the qualifying

Class Attendance
Each student is responsible for regular class attendance and for completing work as required in each class. With respect to absences or makeup work, it is the student's responsibility to learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's policy is usually stated in the course outline. At
the discretion of the instructor, a student may be withdrawn from a
course for an excessive number of absences or uncompleted assignments.
Independent Study
A maximum of six credits in Independent Study may be applied toward
the Associate in Arts Degree. The student must meet the criteria established by the department and have the approval of the chairperson of the
department in which he or she plans to do the study. Standards require a
3.0 average in the department in which the Independent Study is taken, a
limit of four credits per term in Independent Study, and a demonstration
of relevance to the student's academic objectives. Independent Study
applications are available in the Registrar's Office.
Bible and English Requirements
All students enrolled for eight credits or more are required to take at
least one Bible course each quarter that they attend classes at the College. A student who transfers from another college is not required to
complete the full 18 credits in Bible but is required to take one course
each quarter while enrolled at the College. All Bible core courses listed in
the Department of Biblical Studies will satisfy this requirement.
All degree seeking students are required to register for English until the
sequence, English 111 and 112-College Composition, and English 113lntroduction to Literature, has been completed. Placement in English as
a Second Language and English 100or110, or 111 will be determined by

winter or for spring quarters.
Co-Curricular Activity Credits
A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied toward
an Associate in Arts Degree. Co-curricular activities include all music
ensembles, theatre practice, Christian service, additional physical education activity courses after the three required courses are completed, and
activity credits that a transfer student might bring to the College.
ACADEMIC PROGRAM
35
Orientation and Registration
All students must report to the College for Orientation Days as indicated in the calendar in this catalog.
The orientation period includes a series of placement and personality
tests which are used to provide a more effective placement and counseling service for students. Both new and returning students are required
to register on the days indicated in the calendar.
Registration is not completed until the student has made settlement
for the quarter charges at the Bookkeeping Office.
All students have at their disposal the advice and counsel of faculty
advisors. Before registering for any term, the student must consult with
his or her advisor concerning the schedule of study. The selection of the
proper courses is the individual student's responsibility.
Changes in Registration
Necessary changes to eliminate conflicts and to correct evident mistakes in registration may be permitted during the first ten days of classes
with the written approval of the academic advisor. A Change of Course
Permit for this purpose may be obtained in the Registrar's Office. After
the tenth day, no regularly scheduled classes may be added except by
special permission. A student may not withdraw from a course after final
examinations begin.
Repeating a Course
A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has been
received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at the time of
registration for the course. If a student repeats a course in which a Dor F
grade has been received, only the more recent grade and credit earned
will be included in the computation of the grade point average. Both
grades, however, will remain on the student's permanent record.
Withdrawals from the College
A student who wishes to withdraw from the College during any term
must make application for this action in the Office of the Registrar.
When the application has been signed and returned to the Office of the
Registrar, grades of W will be recorded for all courses. Partial refunds on
fees already paid will be based on the date that the application is returned to the Registrar. Failure to comply with this regulation may
deprive a student of refund privileges and result in an F grade in all
classes.

Augsburg College
Education
in a Real World
S
tudents commonly speak of graduating from college as a
way of getting into "the real world." In fact, Augsburg College provides students with an education in a real world. The diversity of the faculty, staff, and student body, the structure of
the curriculum, and the academic environment mirror the complexity of life in contemporary society.
The college's location in and involvement with a metropolitan
setting offer continuous access to cultural opportunities, career
experiences, and social realities that enrich students' educations. Augsburg's commitment to the liberal arts recognizes
that the reality in which contemporary persons live and the persons themselves have been shaped by the tradition and history
from which they come. The real world was not made this moming, and it is not simple. Only a broad education can present our
world a s it is and give persons the ability to deal with it. Similarly, Augsburg College's continuing dedication to its heritage
as a college of the church affirms a belief that the world is the
creation of a loving God and that human persons are inescapably spiritual beings.
T h e C o l l e g e Mission Statement
These qualities of an Augsburg education flow from its mission
statement which declares that the college exists to provide high
quality educational opportunities which are based in the liberal
arts and shaped by the faith and values of the Christian church
and by the context of a great metropolitan center.
Augsburg's location in the heart of the city represents the loom
on which the multi-colored fabric of its identity has been woven.
While students are prepared to take a place in and make a contribution to the world in which they live, they are educated to be
critical of the quality of life in their society and to be reflective of
their own values as they respond to it.
". ..based in the liberal arts
"
The academic program emphasizes the continuing validity of
the liberal arts a s a foundation for developing the life of the
mind. Augsburg College's faculty are dedicated to challenging
their students to achieve the highest academic standards while
supporting them in that endeavor with excellent teaching and
individual attention.
Students are expected to develop their abilities in critical
thinking and communication and to gain sensitivity to and
appreciation for their own and other cultures. Each student is
encouraged to contemplate the eternal philosophical and
spiritual questions of human life and of personal values and
ethics. At Augsburg the great scholars, thinkers, writers, and
artists of the past and present are studied and valued.
Augsburg College considers an understanding of the content
and method of science, a recognition of the place of technology,
and an understanding of ways to maintain a sound body as
important elements of a complete education.
This insistence on the breadth of a traditional liberal arts
education reflects a firm belief that human beings are more
than their ability to perform a job. It reflects further a concerted
attempt to direct students toward a full development of the
many facets and capacities of the educated person.
". ..
..
shaped. by the context o f a great
metropolitan center"
Yet, bounded as it is by an interstate freeway and the center of a
vital city, Augsburg College is no ivory tower escape from the
real world. The college community continually interacts with the
city by attending cultural events and civic activities and by
inviting city residents and visitors to the campus as lecturers,
performers, and mentors. The city becomes a laboratory for
experiential learning through internships, professional program
field experiences, and cooperative education placements.
". ..and shaped by faith and values."
This involvement with the real world is a reflection of
Augsburg's spiritual heritage which values all that God has
created. While its tradition supports intellectual freedom in the
search for truth, the college affirms its belief that all students
should reflect upon their ethical and spiritual values a s part of
becoming educated. Students are encouraged through religion
courses and through opportunities on campus for the practice
and examination of spirituality to consider their relationship to
others, to society, and to the world.
Traditionally Augsburg College has insisted that an aspect of
these relationships is contained in the motto: "Mucation for
Service." In these words the college expresses a belief that,
whatever career they pursue, graduates should consider the
duty of citizens to contribute to the common good through
service to others.
\N
ithin the larger community of the city and the world,
Augsburg College is its own community. It is a community of support and collegiality composed of persons of diverse
talents: of varied ethnic, national, cultural, and religious backgrounds: and of complementary interests and orientations.
Through a competent, committed faculty and a dedicated staff,
Augsburg College builds with its students a real world in which
the whole person can be educated and developed.
Augsburg
College
History
A College o f 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, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872.The first college
students were enrolled in 1874 and the first college 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 rqjected ivory tower
concepts of education. This commitment to church and community has
been Augsburg's theme for over one hundred years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist" 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. But the college division was still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The F o c u s C h a n g e s
This attitude began to change alter World War I. In 1911Georg 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
Gerda Mortensen, Dean of Women. She spent the next 52 years at the
college as a teacher and administrator.
The college's mission assumed a double character ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In
1937, Augsburg elected Bemhard 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 11, 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 mqjors. With cumculum change came a long effort to become accredited.
The college reached full accreditation in 1954, although many alumni
had entered graduate schools and teaching positions long before that
time.
A study in 1962 defined the college's mission now as serving the good
society as a whole first, and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church
second. The Seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Northwestern Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963.
A College in the City
President Oscar A. Anderson (1963-1980)
continued Augsburg's emphasis on involvement with the city, He wanted to reach out to non-traditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all
people. During his years of leadership the college became a vital and integral part of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music
Hall, Mortensen Tower, Urness Tower, the College Center, Ice Arena and
Psychology Building.
Since 1980Augsburg has been led by Charles S. Anderson. He has continued Augsburg's commitment to the value of a liberal arts education,
emphasizing diversity in enrollment efforts, spiritual growth and freedom and an academic program that draws on the resources of the city a s
extensions of the campus and classroom.
Serving the
Non-traditional Student
Augsburg's American Indian Program is recognized as successful. The
program has had the highest retention rate of Indian students in Minnesota -some 85 percent. The Black Student Affairs Program, initiated in
1969,has had a growing number of students and supports a Black Student Union and a newspaper distributed by the office.
The campus is accessible to the physically handicapped with a skywaytunnel-elevator system connecting nine major buildings. In only its second year, Augsburg's program for the learning disabled had 30 students
enrolled. The program received a state award for excellence.
Weekend College, started in 1982with 69students, had an enrollment of
nearly 500 in fall 1985.Through Weekend College, adult students can
work fulltime and pursue a bachelor's degree that has a practical focus
on a liberal arts base.
These programs bring working adults to the campus. They're complemented by the new Cooperative Education Program (begun in 1984)
that sends Augsburg students into the workplace. The Co-op Education
Program helps students get career experience in addition to their classroom studies.
Augsburg Today
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the
founders who believed:
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.
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution set in the heart of a great
metropolitan center. There are now more than 11,000Augsburg alumni.
In a world that has changed much since those first days of the college,
Augsburg still sends out graduates who make a difference where they
live and work.

Financial
Aid
Financing higher education could be the most significant investment a
person or family makes in a lifetime. So, 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 Office of Student Financial Services, will help students and their families with both
monetary and advisory assistance to protect access to a quality education in spite of increasing costs.
Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg is 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. For the academic year 1984-85 approximately 85% of all students at Augsburg received scholarships,
grants, loans and part-time employment totalling over $6,200,000 from
all aid sources.
The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon
the student and family. Financial aid is intended to supplement student
and family resources.
The Family Financial Statement (FFS) of the Amerlcan ~ o l l & eTesting
Program (ACT) or the Financial Aid Porn (FAF) of the College Scholarship Service (CSS) helps determine the amount or assistance for
which a student is eligible. This analysis estimates the amount a student and family can be expected to provide for college expenses, taking into account such family financial factors a s current income, assets,
number of dependents, other educational expenses, debts, retirement
needs, and special considerations.
How and W h e n to Apply
New Students
-Regular Admission
1. Apply for admission to Augsburg College. No financial aid notification is made until the student has applied and been accepted for ad-
mission.
2. Obtain the Family Financial Statement (FFS) or Financial Aid form
(FAF) from a high school or college financial aid office. Complete
the application and send it to the processing agency after January 1
but before March 15for priority consideration. Minnesota residents
must complete the FFS which includes the application for the Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program. Augsburg's code on the
FFS is 2080. For non-Minnesota residents using the FAF, Augsburg's
code is 6014.
3. Within three to four weeks, Augsburg will receive the analysis. If a t
that time you are accepted for admission, the Financial Aid Committee will meet and review your eligibility for all the programs available. A letter will be sent to you detailing your financial aid package.
4. Acceptance of this financial aid package is required within the deadline stated. If necessary, the appropriate loan forms and/or work applications will then be sent to you.
5. Transfer students must submit a financial aid transcript from each
college previously attended before financial aid will be offered.
New Students

Early Decision
This is for students who select Augsburg a s their primary college
choice. An Early Decision Candidate must apply by November 15of the
senior year and will receive the admission decision about December 1.
1. Early Decision Candidates applying fur financial aid may wish to
complete the Early Decision PinancIal Aid Appljcatlon, available by
writing or ca lllng t h e Admissions OWce. This enables our Financial
Aid Office to colnpute a preliminary award before the Family Financial Statement is filed. Candidates will be notified of their award by
January 1.
2. For confirmation of the financial aid award package, with any nec-
essary revision, the FFS (or FAF for non-Minnesota residents) must
be completed after January 1.
Returning Stadenha
Eligibility for assistance must be re-established each academic year by
filing the application and Family Financial Statement (FFS).Renewal is
based on financial eligibility, satisfactory academic progress, and fund
availability.
K i n d s of Aid
A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in gen-
eral rather than for a specific scholarship or grant (except as noted).
The various forms of aid available are listed here for information only.
In addition to aid administered by Augsburg College, students are
urged to investigate the possibility of scholarships, grants, and loans
that might be available in their own communities. It could be worthwhile to check with churches, the company or business employing parents or spouses, high schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid available to students meeting their
requirements. In addition to these sources, some students are eligible
for aid through Vocational Rehabilitation, Education Assistance for
Veterans, Educational Assistance For Veterans' Children, and others.

Campus
Ministry
a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual, a s well as
As
academicand social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth is evident
in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore
their own faith.
Since 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, fellowship
groups, outreach teams, planning committees, retreats, Peace and
Justice forums, Hunger conferences, concerts, plays and movies 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 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
to give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students gather for Holy
Communion.
We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to use and discover the gifts that God has given them. A s a
college of the church, we encourage students to form their own values
which will be the basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond one's years at Augsburg.
The College Pastor has an ofice in the College Center to be readily
available for counseling, consultation, support or information.
Student

Through student government students secure a closer relationship
with and better understanding of the administration and faculty, and

issues pertaining to student life at Augsburg.
Student government is organized into the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. Elections are held in the spring
for the next year. Freshmen elect their representatives in the fall of
their first year. Many kinds of involvement are possible - program
planning, writing, editing or service opportunities. If you want to get involved, contact the President or Vice President of the Student Body in

recognizes t h a t t h e environment for learning is a critical factor in
achieving 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 educational impact of the college on its students.
The Division of Student Affairs supports this task. During the summer
before your freshman year, or a t the time of transfer, you will receive a
copy ofAugsburg Guide. This book will help you assess the possibilities
in your education, choices to make, directions to consider and different
destinations for which to plan. Augsburg Guide was designed t o act a s a
sort of road map.

help make yourjourney rich and meaningful. Some of the opportunities are listed below.

program promotes student growth by asking students to actively participate in group decision-making. Each residence unit has one or more
Resident Staff who facilitate the process of group living and discuss personal concerns with individual students.
Augsburg requires all freshmen and sophomores not living at home to

A
ugsburg College constructs its cumculum upon the
premise that students must be educated as full human
persons: intellectually, spiritually, and physically. To act effectively, human beings must have a broad grasp of the world from
which they have come as well a s the world in which they live. By
providing courses in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences, the general education cumculum introduces students to the breadth and complexity of knowledge and culture.
Required courses in religion are designed to acquaint students
with the Christian tradition and encourage them to reflect upon
the importance and meaning of spirituality in their lives. Recreation courses offer students the opportunity to develop skills for
participation in exercise and sporting activities.
Students choose from over forty mqjor areas of study to gain a
depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a career or
further study. Thus, through a balance of cumcular activities
supported by full programs in student life and religious life, an
Augsburg College education strives to educate its students in a
real world for the real world.

Cities a r e a o n several programs.
Library and Media Center - Through CLIC, the Twin Cities private colleges library
consortium, and MINITEX, the statewide library network, the Augsburg community
has access to over 5,000,000volumes,
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) - 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 one of the other campuses. No additional fee is required for such an exchange, except for private instruction in music and some independent studies. See 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 between the campuses.
Augsburg College also cooperates with other colleges in planning study opportunities for the January interim.
Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA) - Augsburg, in cooperation with fifteen other colleges and universities in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa,
and South Dakota, develops and offers off-campus study semesters in Scandinavia,
South and Central America, San Francisco, and the Twin Cities. All HECUA programs
are interdisciplinary and address the critical issues associated with social change and
the human community. The consortium also facilitates innovative curricular endeavors, an interchange and sharing among faculty, cooperative research, international
and experiential education, and conferences on planning and metro-urban studies.
Chemical Dependency Program - A cooperative effort between Augsburg College
and Minneapolis 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 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.
Air Force ROTC - Augsburg students may participate in the Air Force ROTC program at The College of St. Thomas under the ACTC consortium agreement. Students
are eligible to compete for 2- and 3-year AFROTC scholarships. For more information, contact the Dean of the College.

including travel, is equivalent to full room, board, and tuition for one term at Augsburg. Application and interview required, enrollment limited. See Center for Global
Service and Education.
Student Project for Amity Among Nations - 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. Among them are the University of Oslo, Norway: Schiller
College in London and Heidelberg: the University of York, England: the University of
Dundee, Scotland: the University of Seville, Spain: and the Institute for American
Universities in Avignon, France.
Summer School -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.
Honors Program
The Honors Program a t Augsburg provides opportunities for qualified
students to pursue a n enriched and distinctive course of study. The
major components of the Program include a limited sequence of honors during the freshman and sophomore year, special extra-curricular
seminars, a program of cultural events each semester, and a senior
capstone interim. The Program challenges our finest students to distinguish themselves. Students are ordinarily recruited a s freshmen, but
may enter later by petition. Please send inquiries to Dr. Diane Pike, Director of Honors.
Cooperative Education, Internships
and the Liberal Arts
Through Cooperative Education and Academic Internships, Augsburg
College students integrate their liberal arts education with the world of
work. Each placement is closely related to a student's major or career
interest. An underlying assumption is that a liberal arts education is a n
effective form of career preparation.
Augsburg's Cooperative Education and Academic Internship Programs
link employers and faculty in a way that enriches and expands a student's educational experience. This on-the-job experience a d d s
breadth and depth t o the liberal arts curriculum and helps students
make more informed career decisions.
Augsburg's liberal arts education is enhanced by the college's metropolitan location and the broad range of opportunities in the Twin Cities.
Co-op Ed and Internships expand these mutually beneficial relationships and the resulting partnerships among employers, educators and
students.
Augsburg has been a leading proponent and provider of experiential
education for many years. Both Co-op Education and lnternships are
voluntary and available throughout the cuniculum. Each academic department determines the extent of its involvement in either program
and the amount of credit it will allow. The Associate Academic Dean coordinates the Internship Program with assistance from Career Services.
Co-op Education and lnternships are separate and distinct from programs which require clinical experience, practicums, residencies and/
or student teaching in order to fulfill the professional training associated with accredited programs. However, many students participate in
Co-op Education and lnternships prior to and following these required
assignments.
Upper division internships are numbered 399 and lower division internships are numbered 199. Registration for internships consists of the
followingsteps. A learning agreement (forms are available from the Associate Academic Dean's oflice) must be negotiated with the faculty
member responsible for grading the experience. The grading system,
activities, and appropriate level must be agreed upon. The completed
learning agreement is returned to the Associate Dean's oftlce. An internship card (with the description/location) signed by the faculty
member and Associate Dean must be turned in to the Registrar's Office
at registration time. Students are not encouraged to registerladd until
an actual experience has been arranged, but they must make arrangements by the end of the registration period. For extension of study beyond one term, see the section of the catalog under grading. A maximum of four courses of internship may count toward the 35 courses
required for the degree.
Independent/Directed Study
Many departments offer opportunities for conscientious students who
demonstrate sufficient background and preparation in a given field to
cany out upper division level work on an independent basis. Courses
are numbered 499. (Some departments have been given faculty approval to offer '12 course credit under 498. The Speech, Communication
and Theatre Arts department uses 495 for independent study in Communication.) Many departments also offer an opportunity for directed
study on a lower division level. These courses are numbered 299. Arrangements between students and instructors should be made in advance of the period of initial registration. The grading system and appropriate level must be agreed upon, lndependent and directed study
course numbers are used only for study different in content from
courses already listed in this catalog. An agreed title must be reported
on the appropriate form to the Registrar's OWce at registration time.
The faculty member giving the grade must sign the form. Students are
not encouraged to registerladd until an actual study has been arranged, but they must make arrangements by the end of the registration period. For extension of study beyond one term, see the section of
the catalog under grading. A maximum of two courses in lndependent
Study and/or Directed Study may count toward the 35 courses required for the degree. Students may cross-register for independent
studies at another ACTC school only when the major field in which the
independent study is proposed is not available on their home campus,
and will be charged by the host campus for any special costs attached.
Requests for exception to this policy should be made directly to their
own academic dean.
Augsburg Weekend College
Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative for
adult students who work or have other commitments during the week.
It is a means by which men and women may earn a college degree,
complete a second major, or pursue a personal interest or skill.
Weekend College classes meet on alternate weekends and there are
three trimester terms during the early September through June academic year. Students may take from one to four classes each term.
While Augsburg Weekend College program involves the same courses
a s the day school program, the curriculum is limited to selected liberal
arts courses and the following majors: Business Administration (specializations in accounting, finance, management, management information systems, and marketing), Communication (concentrations in
human relations, public relations/advertising, and supervisory management), Nursing, and Social Work.
Continuing Education Program
Augsburg College offers a number of courses, both credit and noncredit, through its Continuing Education Program. Classes are generally in the evening. Since continuing education courses are offered on a
semester-hour 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.
Center for Global Service & Education
The Center for Global Service and Education was founded at Augsburg
in 1982with a commitment to education which both expands our world
view and deepens our understanding of issues related to global peace
and justice. Students can participate in a number of forums, seminars
and conferences that focus on global issues. In addition, a spring semester program in Mexico, The Program in Global Community, and occasional interims allow more in depth exposure to these topics.
Academic Policies
and Procedures
Registration
A student must be registered for a course to receive credit for it.
Students normally register for four courses a semester and one course
in the interim. Students registered for three or more courses in a semester are classified as full-time students. To register for more than 4.5
courses, students must contact the Registrar's office to petition the
Committee on Student Standing for permission.
Although a student may register up to two weeks after the semester begins, registration is encouraged at the regularly scheduled time. Special fees are charged for late registration. Special fees also are charged
for cancelling or adding courses or changing grading option after the
first five days of a semester.
A joint class schedule is published each Spring by the Associated Col-
leges of the Twin Cities, listing courses and their location at the five colleges for the following semesters.
Separate catalogs of courses are published by the Interim Office, Summer School Office, and Weekend College Ofice for those sessions at
Augsburg, listing registration times and procedures.
Specific information on registration and help with registration on another campus are available from these offices:
-
Office of the Registrar
Science 114, for Fall and Spring terms
Interim Office - Memorial 230,for Interim
Summer School Office - Memorial 230,for Summer School
Weekend College Office - Memorial 329,for Fall, Winter and Spring
trimesters of Weekend College.
Pre-Registration
Freshmen and transfer students may pre-register during summer for
courses in the fall. All currently enrolled students may pre-register during the fall for the spring and during the spring for the fall. All students
must confirm their registration at the beginning of each semester and
complete financial arrangements.
Withdrawal from College
Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered, since this results in a failing grade on the official record. Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from College must be done in the Registrar's Office. Withdrawal from college cannot occur during final
examination week unless a petition is approved by the Student Standing Committee. Withdrawal from college and resulting adjustments in
accounts are effective a s of the date the completed Withdrawal from
College form is returned to the Registrar's Office.
Leave of Absence
Students may request a Leave of Absence for academic or personal
reasons. A request form must be picked up from the Ofice of the Dean
of the College. It must be signed by the Dean of Students, or authorized
representative, and by the Dean of the College, or authorized representative. The completed form must be tumed in to the Registrar's Office.
A Leave ofAbsence may be granted for one term or one academic year.
If an extension of a Leave ofAbsence is needed, it should be requested
in the same manner a s the original Leave of Absence, and the completed form must be tumed in to the Registrar's Office before the expiration of the previous Leave of Absence, or readmission will be required.
Students on leave are responsible for keeping the Registrar's Office informed of their mailing address. All deadlines for financial aid and
housing must be observed by returning students. A Leave of Absence
does not defer repayment of loans or extend incomplete deadlines.
Graduation Requirements
The responsibility for seeing that all degree requirements are satisfied
rests with the student. Academic advisers, department chairpersons,
the Academic Dean and the Registrar are available for counsel and assistance in program planning.
Former Augsburg students, readmitted to complete a degree, have a
choice between using the catalog in effect when they first enrolled, or
using the catalog in effect at the point of readmission.
Each student must apply for graduation at the time specified by the Registrar. Application forms are available in the Registrar's Office.
All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in
the Registrar's office prior to the anticipated date of graduation (there
may be no incompletes or open courses on the academic record).
See the separate section on Graduation with Distinction to learn about
requirements for these honors.
1. Completion of 35 courses.
At least 11courses must be upper division, numbered in the 300s
and 400s. Not more than 13 may be in one department, except in
certain approved majors - 1 7 (MusicEducation) or 20 (Music Performance) for the Bachelor of Music degree, and 1 8 for the Bachelor of Science (Music Therapy) or Bachelor of Science (Nursing)degree. The course total must include three Interims for students
whose complete academic work is at Augsburg. For transfer students, the course total must include one less interim course than
the number of years at Augsburg.
No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 35 total
courses required: 4 Conservation of Human Resources (CHR)
courses; 2 courses by independent/ directed study: 4 courses of internship: and 8 courses with a grade of Pass (P). Non-traditional
grading (P)also has these limits: 2 in the major except Elementary
Education and Nursing: 1in the minor if approved by the department chairperson.
Students who enter an academic program with a baccalaureate or
higher degree should contact the Registrar's Office about specific
requirements for a second baccalaureate degree or for the equivalent of a major.
2. Completion of a mqjor.
Requirements for each major are listed under the departmental
headings. A minor or double-major is not required, but is encouraged.
3. Grade Point average
2.0 for most mqjors.
A grade point average of 2.0 is required over all courses taken and
over all courses which apply toward the major. Some majors, licensure, and certification require higher grades in each course or a
higher grade point average. (For example, see licensure in education, music education, music performance, music therapy, nursing,
social work.) See the departmental section for details.
-
4. Residence
The last year of full-time study or equivalent (minimum of 7
courses for part-time students) must be at Augsburg. Contact the
Registrar if an official interpretation is needed.
5. Distribution requirements (See below)
Distribution Requirements
Writing - A course in writing (English 111)or certification of
demonstrated proficiency by the Department of English. Exemption
tests are given during the summer and fall orientation periods.
Liberal Arts
An approved course from each of these seven areas:
Mathematics-Physics
Chemistry-Biology
English-Speech,
Communication & Theatre
Arts (devoted to the study of
literature)
Psychology-Sociology
Economics-Political Science
History-Philosophy
Art-Music
.
A list of approved courses is available from advisers and the Registrar's
Office.
Foreign Languages - Two courses (111and 112) of one foreign
language at Augsburg. Students who test above the 111level of a
foreign language will take one additional course at placement level
in that language or two courses (111and 112) of another foreign
language. International students should consult with the Registrar.
Religion - Three approved courses in religion, of which not more
than one may be an interim course. For transfer students, the
number required is one for each year of study or equivalent at
Augsburg.
Urban Concerns, or Women's Studies, or Minority Studies One course. Courses approved to meet this requirement are
published each term. Information is available at the Registrar's
Office.
Lifetime Sports - Two different lifetime sports or demonstrated
proficiency in two different lifetime sports.
English as a Second Language (ESL)Program
Students who declare a language other than English to be their primary
language, or are citizens of another country, must take the ESL placement test in conjunction with the English writing placement test at orientation. Students' placement in ESL, Developmental Writing, or Effective Writing will be determined by their scores on the Michigan test (8090 range for exemption) and by a writing sample.
Near the end of each term of English a s a Second Language an objective test will be administered to all students in the class. The score on
this test and the grade eamed in the class will determine whether additional ESL course work is required. Usually a score of 80 to 90 and a
grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will fulfill the student's ESL requirement.
If students do not meet the ESL requirement, they will remain in ENG
2171218 until they meet the criteria stated above. Academic credit will
normally be granted for no more than two courses.
Students who fulfill the ESL requirement, by testing out or by completing the course, will be exempted from the foreign language requirement for graduation.
Evaluation and Grading
Student achievement in courses is measured primarily by final examinations. Shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of
evaluation also are used.
Most courses are offered with grading options - traditional grading on
a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system, in which P means a
grade of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than
2.0. Students are cautioned to use the PIN grade option with care since
some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a
large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a "C". Transfer students are cautioned that P-graded courses do not count in the requirement that 1 4 traditionally graded courses be eamed at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation with distinction. See PIN
limitations under Graduation Requirements.
Certain courses are offered on one grading system only. Sociology 383
and several interim courses are graded only on the PIN grading system. Some education courses are graded only on the PIN system or
only on the traditional system. English 111is graded P or N, or 2.0-4.01
N. Some other courses are graded only P, 1.0, N. Chemistry Seminar
and Lifetime Sports are graded PlO.0.
In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish
to use the PIN grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system
must be made according to dates published each term. A fee is
charged for any changes after the first five days of classes.
Explanation of Grades
Number grades are used with these definitions:
4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence
3.5
3.0
2.6
2.0
1.5
1.0
0.5
0.0
Achieves above basic course standards
Meets basic standards for the course
Performance below basic course standards
Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course)
Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point
average. A grade of P represents work at or above the 2.0 level; N represents work at the 1.5or below level.
An incomplete grade may be given only in the case of extreme emergency. To receive it, a student must file a petition with the Committee
on Student Standing stating the reasons for the request, the plan and
date for removing it, and comments from the instructor. If permission is
granted, the incomplete must be removed during the following semester, or it becomes the grade submitted by the teacher along with the incomplete.
Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes
last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of
the first term of registration. A grade ofX is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X
extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and
demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. The Registrar's Office will automatically continue the registration in response to
an X grade. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which
the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year).An
instructor reserves the discretion of not giving an X where satisfactory
progress is not demonstrated. Withdrawal from college, or dropping
these continued courses will terminate their registration. Under this circumstance, a re-registration as 1 X by the student would be necessary if
done during registration periods within one year of initial registration; if
done after one year, a new registration would be necessary.
A course in which a grade of 0,0.5,1.0,1.5, N, I, or X has been received
may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been
earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited.
All courses taken and grades earned each term remain on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time, for
legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in
the grade point average.
A course is given a grade of W when it is dropped after the deadline for
dropping classes without a notation on the record.
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so
by registering for Audit (V).Full-time students may audit a course without charge. The charge for part-time students is listed under College
Costs. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor
within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance and any other requirement. If expectations have
been met, the course will be listed on the transcript a s having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with
a grade of W (Withdrawn).
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (QPA)is based on final grades For all work at
Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work tmnsferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/M grading optlon
are recorded, but not computed in the GPA.
Classification
Students are classified in August and at the end of the fall and interim
terms.

Assessment of Previous Learning (APL Program)
Augsburg College recognizes that learnlng car1 and does tatre place in
many 1lfe sltuations. Some of lhls learning may b e appropriate for
credit recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic
program of a liberal arts college. The APL program (Assessment of Previous Learning) at Augsburg provldes a means by which a student's
previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible
credit toward the completion of a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit
recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: 1)it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within
the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and 2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation.
The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition.
The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment:
The College tm-4 Examination Program (CLEP) is a serks or slaridardized tests
which have been developed hy The College Board arrd are offered lo students for a
small Tee at reglorial testing t.enters. (The reglonal testlng center for this area Is the
Unliiererslty or Minnesota,) Students who score at or above the 65th percentile on a
subject examination may receive academic credlt Tor that suh,ject at Augshutg Col3ege. AddlUonal Information ahout CLEF L e t s Is available from lhe Orflc~of the Registrar.
Departmental Comprehensive Exams are available for students to use in obtaining
credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met:
A. There is a departmental instrument available for subject area in question.
B. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam.
C. The Student Standing Committee approves the student's request to take the
exam.
Credit for departmental exams is available on a passjno credit basis only, and there
is a charge per exam.
The Credit Assessment Program (CAP)is a credit assessment alternative in which a
faculty committee completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by
the student. The faculty committee is composed of the Registrar and two faculty
members from fields of study directly related to the student's previous learning. Informational meetings and consultation are provided for students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment. This may include a personal meeting with the CAP Committee. In completing the evaluation of a student's
previous learning, the CAP Committee applies the following criteria:
A. There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed and/or systematic study of content material
found within liberal arts coursework.
B. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student.
C. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
D. The learning relates well to the student's educational goals.
E. The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present
time.
Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least four
courses of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of
at least 2.5. There is an application deposit (applicable to transcript charge) to initiate the credit assessment process, and a charge for each semester credit applied to
the student's transcript.
Transcript credit will be granted on the basis of semester credits, and the total number of credits granted will be divided by four to determine the number of courses applied to graduation. These credits will be recorded with the course number of CAP
2xx. Application of this credit toward distribution requirements and academic majors and minors may be subsequently addressed by the departments involved in response to a formal request by the student,
Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning - While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom,
this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal
arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of nine courses (one-fourthof
a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credil that is obtained through previous experiential learning, In camplling the nlne courses or credit for prevlous experiential
leaming, the student may use any combination of the three assessment processes
available in the APL program: CLEF exams, departmental exams, and credit granted
through CAP Committee assessment.
Probation and Dismissal
Students will be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term if
their achievement is unsatisfactory. Students who have been on probation two or more consecutive semesters are subject to dismissal at
the end of the term. Dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each
case is reviewed by the Committee on Student Standing. Students who
have a poor academic record may be strongly advised to withdraw before the end of the term. Those on probation for two terms who withdraw from the College voluntarily must have special permission to reenroll.
Students having taken 3 or more Augsburg courses will be placed on
probation under these conditions:
Freshman - below 1.6 cumulative GPA or 2 zero grades, having taken
fewer than 7 courses.
Sophomore - below 1.7cumulative GPA or 3 zero courses, having
taken 7 but fewer than 16 courses.
Junior - below 1.9cumulative GPA having taken 16 but fewer than 25
courses.
Senior - below 2.0 cumulative GPA having taken 25 or more courses.
They will be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA
reaches the minimum levels above. Students placed on probation a s
freshmen for earning 2 zero grades will be removed from probation if
their classification changes to sophomore, they have not earned additional zero grades, and their cumulative GPA reaches 1.7.Students
placed on probation a s sophomores for earning 3 zero grades will be
removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and
their cumulative GPA reaches 1.9.
Dean's List
The Dean's List is compiled after each semester, listing students whose
grade point average for a semester is 3.5or 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. Each
student on the Dean's List receives a certificate and, if permission is
given, an announcement is sent to the hometown newspaper.
Graduation with Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined as follows:
Summa cum laude 3.8to 4.0cumulative GPA
Magna cum laude 3.6up to but not including 3.8cumulative GPA
Cum laude 3.3up to but not including 3.6cumulative GPA
To qualify for graduation with distinction, transfer students must have
completed two years (14traditionally graded courses) of work at Augsburg.
Veterans of Military Setaiice
Augsburg is approved by t h e State Approving Agency for Veterans
Training. Veterans should consul1 with the Office of the Registrar about
cornpl@Lionor Lhe enrollment certificate and the forwarding of other information to the Veterans Administration.
Veterans will be referred to the State Approving Agency after any period
of two consecutive terms in which they did not earn at least three
courses per term, the minimum for classification a s full-timestudents.
It is the responsibility of each veteran to report any change in registration and/or academic load to the Ofice of the Registrar, a s it is for all
students.
If less than full-time, veterans will be referred to the State Approving
Agency after any period of two consecutive terms if they did not earn
the equivalent of what they had been certified for.
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.

Course Descriptions
Maior & Minor Requirements
A
s a liberal arts institution, Augsburg College operates
with a belief that knowledge and truth are interrelated
and are integrated into a whole. The tradition of the academic
world, however, divides this unified truth into more manageable
parts: the academic disciplines. The knowledge of individual
disciplines is subdivided into courses which make it more accessible to students. These courses can be arranged in various
ways to construct mqjors, to create the substance of a broad
general education, and to give students the opportunity to
study areas of particular individual interest.
Descriptions of courses are arranged by departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject
matter covered in individual courses to aid students in planning
a program. A syllabus containing a more detailed explanation of
content, approach, and requirements for a particular course can
be obtained from the instructor.
Department entries also contain a narrative discussion of the
educational philosophy of each department, its goals, and its
place in the college's program. A listing of requirements for individual mqjors follows the narrative.
Courses and terms listed are subject to change. In general,
classes are offered Fall and/or Spring terms, unless another frequency is specified. The Schedule of Classes published each
spring lists offerings and locations for Fall and Spring terms.
Descriptions and schedules for courses offered in January Interim, Summer School and Augsburg Weekend College are published in separate catalogs.
Credits
A full course is offered for one credit. A few fractional courses, for
one-half or one-quarter credit, are offered in the Division of Professional Studies. A full course has the approximate value of 4 semester credits or 6 quarter hours.
Most courses meet for three 60-minute periods or two 90-minute periods a week, in addition to laboratories.
Numbering
Courses numbered below 300 are lower division courses. Courses
numbered 300 and above are classified a s upper division. In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for freshmen, 200s sophomores, 300s juniors, and 400s seniors.
Prerequisites
Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course
are listed in the course description. A student may enroll in a course
when a prerequisite has not been fulfilled if there is prior approval of
,a professor teaching the course and of the academic adviser.
Art
Department (ART)
Art is important as a field of study for our modern age. Our survival as a
culture may very well depend on whether we are able to create order and
beauty in the design and function of communities. Realizing this, we have
made design and sensitivity to all aspects of visual experience central to
the art program at Augsburg.
Giving and receiving visual messages is so much a part of everyday life
that it is often taken for granted. At the same time, however, the interchange of visual ideas is frequently misunderstood. The task of the artist,
art teacher, and art historian is to celebrate visual experience through a variety of media and art examples. In short, the visual arts teach us how to
see.
Because of the College's commitment to the liberal arts, the visual arts, as
taught at Augsburg, draw ideas and inspiration from all disciplines.Art as
a human activity does involve manual skill, although to become broadly
significant it should interact with the content available in other fields, such
as language, history, drama, music, literature, philosophy, theology, business, physical education, and science.
A liberal arts college, such as Augsburg College, is an ideal setting for the
study of art because it provides a constant possibility for the interaction of
ideas, disciplines, and attitudes. At Augsburg, art study is further enhanced by associations with a significant number of art galleries and museums in the Twin Cities area.
Hundreds of specific careers exist in the general area of art. Augsburg
graduates have established careers in such fields as teaching in public
schools and colleges, anthropology, pottery making, antique restoration
and sales, film and video work, portrait painting, and gallery and museum
work.
The future holds a great deal of promise for artists who can combine skills
with a breadth of understanding.

Biology
Department (BIO)
Biology is the study of life, and it is natural that we, as contemplative living
creatures, seek a deeper understanding of the living world that envelops
us. This search has led to the realization that the earth is filled with an
enormous variety of living organisms. Since humans are a part ofthe biological world, an understanding of the basic biological processes common
to all organisms, as well as those features which are unique to humans, is
essential to attain self-understandingand to provide a basis for wise decisions.
Another significant insight that has emerged from the study of life is that
even the simplest organisms are incredibly complex, and a complete understanding of even one of these has, as of yet, eluded the grasp ofbiologists, This is true even though some organisms have been subjected to
years of intensive scrutiny. Biology will thus continue to be a fertile field
for research for many years to come.
Still, an enormous amount of knowledge regarding living organisms has
accumulated over the years. In recent decades great strides have been
made in understanding important biological processes, particularly those
at the cellular and molecular levels. Biological research has also provided
some extremely important benefits to humans. Most advances in medicine, veterinary medicine, agriculture and food science have depended on
the findings of basic biological research.
Since the biological world reveals such variety, complexity and knowledge, an undergraduate major in biology needs to be broadly based.
Since a complete understanding of biological systems depends on applications of the principles of physics and chemistry, a firm background in
the physical sciences is also important for biologists.
For many, an undergraduate major in biology serves primarily as a basis
for further study. In past years Augsburg graduates have gone on to further studies in professional schools such as medicine, veterinary medicine
and dentistry. Others have entered graduate programs in the life sciences,
leading to careers in areas such as college or university teaching, basic
and applied research, and public or environmental health. Other araduates have embarked directly after graduation on a variety of careers, including high school teaching and laboratory technology.

Chemistry
Chemistry is the science of the changes in matter, examining those
changes and worhlng toward an understanding ofthenz. Correlating the results of physics and opening the vistas or molecular biology, chemistry
has been described as the central science, since matter includes the entire
physical world such as the things we use, the food we eat and even ourselves.
Chemists as scientists must he well versed tn the scfence of chemistry,
knowledgeable in Tact and theory for solving sclentffic problems, capable
of providing a pzrblic understanding of their work including potential problems as well as hrnefits.
Chemists as people must be broadly educated in order to understand
themselves and their society. The liberal arts core of religion, humanities,
the arts and the social sciences are imperative if a chemist is to be truly
human and therefore truly scientific.
The Department is on the List of Approved Schools of the American Chemical Society, and offers a chemistry major which meets the chemistry background required by many fields.
Consonant with these ideas, the Department of Chemistry has established
the following objectives to help its students develop into mature scientists.
1. To provide a course of study of sufficient rigor and depth to enable our
graduates who complete our ACS chemistry major to complete successfully with their peers of similar ability in graduate school or research positions.
2. To provide programs of study for professional goals in addition to the
traditional positions as chemists.
3. To provide an atmosphere of learning so that students will want to remain lifelong learners thereby remaining competent in their field however that may change alter graduation, and be able to move into new
areas as opportunities arise.
4. To encourage students to take a broad view of their education and to
seriously study areas outside of the sciences: and
5. To presentthe excitement:of chemtstry to non-science majors as an exampie of the methodolagy of the natural scienca in examining the
world around us, The presenbtion of major concepts underlying the
changes in matter. the apporttlntty to examine change in the pl~ysicat
world, and the reflection of the implications ofsclence In our society
will enhance the ability of non-sciencepersons to make better value
judgments concerning science questions in their own endeavors.

Teachlng Mqjwr: Physleal Science Emphasis
Chemistry Major: Recotnmendation for licensure in Physical Science requires general chemistry (115, 116 or 105,106);3 courses in earth and life sciences: CHM 351,352,353,361,363,364,482,491 (B10 367 may be
substituted for 364); PHY 245. Students are advised to consult with
the Education department early in their planning.
Pre-Medical Chemistry Msy'or: The same as the graduation major.
In addition, medical schools expect at least two courses (and usually
more) in biology. Students should consult members of the Chemistry
department for assistance in planning a course program early in their
college career.
Honors Mqjor: Full ACS major; average of 3.5 in chemistry, mathe-
matics, and physics, 3.0 over-all; one summer or course of approved
research; participation in seminar.
Minor: 5 courses which must include 115,116 (or 105,106),353 and
two other chemistry courses from 351,352,361 or BIO 367.
Note: Credit will not be granted for both 105 and 115, or for both 106
and 116.
Most courses in this department have prerequisites, courses that must
be completed before enrolling in the given course. A prerequisite
must be completed with a grade of 2.0 or higher to count. Otherwise,
permission of the instructor is necessary. These requirements also
must be met when using the first term of a two-term course in registering for the second term.
Placement in 105 or 115 is determined by the score on the Mathematics Placement Examination. High school chemistry is a prerequisite
for 115.

Students interested in attaining teacher licensure or developing a background in education a s a base for advanced study in other careers will find
opportunities in the Department of Education.
Professional mucation combines the study of theory with practice, and
field experiences are an essential part of the course offerings. The location
of Augsburg College is particularly advantageous for field experiences because of the wide variety of public, private and special schools in the Twin
Cities.
The career that first comes to mind for graduates of teacher education programs is classroom teaching. Augsburg graduates are found in many
classrooms within the Twin Cities area. In addition, they provide educational services in classrooms across the nation and in some foreign countries.
The teacher education program coupled with the liberal arts program
serves a s a solid base for graduate education. Some teaching fields require graduate work beyond the initial license in either elementary or secondary education.
Not all graduates choose to teach in school settings. Teacher education
graduates are also found in business, working in managerial, sales, production, and service areas.
To qualify for state teaching license after July 1,1987applicants are required to have had the course "Reading in the Content Areas" or the
equivalent.
To qualify after April 1,1988for licensure, people are required to have
passed basic competency tests (prescribed by the Minnesota Board of
Teaching) in reading, writing skills and mathematics a s well as a prescribed competency test in the specific area of licensure.

Ken Erickson (Adviser)
Augsburg College has cooperative arrangements with three universities to
allow the-student to earn a- achel lor of A& degree from Augsburg College
and an engineering degree from either the University of Minnesota Insti-
tute of Technology, Minneapolis: Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science, St. Louis, Missouri: or Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan. Because of the special requirements
and opportunities of these programs, early consultation with the Augsburg
Engineering Adviser is necessary. Applications for these programs require
the recommendation of the Augsburg Engineering Adviser.
University of Minnesota
The lnstitute of Technology and Augsburg cooperative arrangement provides for two dual degree engineering programs:
-
1. Bachelor o f Arts/Bachelor o f Engineering (B.A./B.E.)enables students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Bachelor of Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. The program typically involves three
years at Augsburg and two years at the lnstitute of Technology.
Students may apply for the program after completing the sophomore year. At that
time, they will be informed of their status in the program and any further conditions
necessaly for final acceptance into the program. Formal application to the lnstitute
of Technology may be completed during the second semester of the junior year at
Augsburg.
2. Bachelor o f ArtsIMaster o f Engineering (B.A./M.E.)enables students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Master of Engineering
degree from the University of Minnesota. This program involves four years at Augsburg and, typically, two years at the lnstitute of Technology.
The curriculum is the same as the B.A,/B.E, curriculum with the addition of several extra courses that are completed at Augsburg during the senior year to minimize the
number of undergraduate courses, if any, that students must take at the University
before proceeding through the graduate curriculum. The number of such courses
varies by IT department and area of emphasis within a department.
Application for admission into the B.A./M.E, program should be initiated during the
second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Formal application for the program
may be completed during the senior year. Those admitted will receive special counseling from the lnstitute of Technology staff regarding courses that should be taken
during the senior year at Augsburg. Participants in the B.A./M.E, program are not
guaranteed admission to the Institute of Technology.
Washington University - Three-Two Plan
Dual Degree Plan
Michigan Technological University
-
These programs enable students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from
Augsburg and a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science or Michigan Technological
University in a five-year period.
The first three years are spent at Augsburg followed by two years at the affiliated university. Students accepted into the program are guaranteed admission to the engineering school, provided they have met course requirements, have a B average, and are recommended by the Engineering
Adviser of Augsburg College.
Students are also encouraged to explore opportunities for graduate work
at Washington University and Michigan Technological University. Further
information on these and other graduate programs is available from the
Augsburg Engineering Adviser.
Financial Aid: Students receiving financial aid who are participants in these dual degree programs will be encouraged to apply to the engineering school of their choice
for continuing support. Their applications will be evaluated using need and academic
performance as criteria.
M i n i m u m Course Requirements f o r Admission t o the Dual Degree o r ThreeTwo Programs: CHM 115,116; CSC 170; ENG 111; MAT 124,125,224, 226; PHY
121, 122; additional courses to meet general education requirements and a total of
27 courses at Augsburg. Normally MAT 124,125 and PHY 121,122 are taken in the
freshman year. Students interested in Chemical Engineering also should take CHM
351, 352.
English
Those who study English believe that an intense concern for words, ideas,
and iknages helps us understand who we are and who we can become.
Writing helps us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through English study
we see life's complexity, experience life as some others do, and understand better the world in which we live and work.
English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the
contemplation of works of art. With psychology and sociology, English is
concerned with individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is
interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning and language.
With science, English is interested in discovering order and determining
structures. With speech and communications, English studies the effective
use of language. With history and the other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and thought at different
times and in different cultures.
The Augsburg English department integrates its program with the cultural
opportunities ofthis vital urban area. Augsburg students can walk to assigned or recommended plays, films, and readings available near the campus.
Students with an Augsburg English mqjor pursue careers in elementary,
secondary and college education, journalism, government, law, the ministry, library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing,
writing, and other professions and businesses. English majors may start
on a slightly lower rung of the career ladder than those with more specialized training, but will move to higher rungs more quickly because of their
broad background, their skill in analysis, and their superior communication skills. Skills in reading perceptively and writing effectively enhance
any career and make life more enjoyable and understandable.
English Faculty:
Barbara Andersen (Chairperson), Joan Griffin, John Mitchell, Catherine
Nicholl, Ronald Palosaari, Kathryn Swanson.
Mqjor: 9 courses above 111,including 225; one course in American
literature; one course in Western literary tradition (271 or 272); and
three courses in British literature, one on literature before 1660 (for
example, 331 or 438) and one that surveys a number of writers (336,
337,423). Majors are encouraged to take ENG 245 early in their college work and to consult their departmental adviser regularly. A student with a double major or special program that involves considerable work in the English department should also work closely with an
adviser in the department.
Mqjor for Secondary Teaching Licensure in English-Language
Arts: 1 0 courses, including those listed for the major and a course
in the English language; 2 Speech courses, one from 111,351,352,
354 or 355 and either 360 or 366. Courses in early American literature, Shakespeare and film are recommended. In addition to field experience and student teaching required by the Department of Education, majors will be required to gain practical experience in teaching
writing, to be arranged through the department chairperson. Students are encouraged to take courses toward their major during the
freshman and sophomore years, enroll in Orientation to Education in
the fall term of the sophomore year and apply for teacher education
not later than the fall of their junior year. In addition'to planning their
courses with the English department chairperson, students should
consult an adviser in the Department of Education.
Honors Major: GPA of 3.5 in the major and 3.0 overall, submit program to department chairperson early in senior year, defend honors
thesis before faculty committee in senior year, Honors thesis may be
an independent study program.
Minor: 5 courses above 111,including at least 2 literature courses,
one of which must be in British literature, and one advanced writing
course.
Note on Concentration: In addition to meeting requirements for
the major, English majors may, if they wish, develop an area of emphasis, such a s British concentration, American concentration, world
literature concentration, or writing concentration. A student arranges
a concentration by careful selection of electives in the major, by the
design of an independent study course that applies to the concentration, and by the selection of some related courses outside the department. English majors should work closely with their advisers in developing a concentration. Interim courses, special courses, and
courses at other ACTC schools will often fit well into a concentration.
Note on Prerequisites: 111is strongly recommended but not a
prerequisite for a lower division literature course. Prerequisite for an
upper division course is successful completion of a lower division literature course or consent of the instructor.

Foreign
Language
Department
The Foreign Language Department at Augsburg College contributes in
many ways to realizing the College's mission of providing liberal arts education for service in today's world. The department is committed to the
view that education should go beyond career preparation. So viewed, foreign language study goes beyond the development of new communications skills to foster an abiding awareness that the splendid diversity of human languages, literatures, and cultures represents a nch historic legacy
developed in different ways by many nations to be shared by all in common. The departmental faculty believe that familiarity with the language
and culture of another people is an essential step in the development of
global perspective and hence is indispensable in the education of Augsburg students.
The Foreign Language Department offers language, literature, and culture
courses in French, German, Norwegian, Russian, and Spanish. Courses in
Chinese, Japanese, Latin, and Greek are available to Augsburg Students
through the college's affiliation with ACTC, a consortium of Twin Cities
colleges.
A special perspective on language is also available to Augsburg students
in the linguistics courses offered by the Foreign Language Department.
Linguistics goes beyond the study of individual languages to investigate
the general principles which operate in and shape all languages and in this
way the study of linguistics affords the student a unique view of one of the
most intriguing and central facets of the human mind.
Foreign language skills, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics,
are essential in preparing for a number of careers and represent a valuable
special qualification in many others. Anticipated careers in a number of
fields such a s foreign language
- teaching, translation, the diplomatic corps,
or international business may require a-foreign language mGor, perhaps
combined with a maior in some other field. In addition. students ~ u r s u i n a
careers in many other fields such as health care, socialwork, the kinistrfy
psychology, or philosophy, ro name just a few, often find that a foreign language minor and/or the study of linguistics qualifies them for special assignments in their chosen field.
Foreign Languages Faculty:
Mary Kingsley (Chairperson), Ruth Aaskov, James Brown, Leif Hansen,
Mary Johnson, Gunta Rozentals, Donald Steinmetz.
Students with previous foreign language study
must register in courses suited to their level of preparation. Placement is according to the number of high school semesters one has
studied that language: 0-2 = 111;3-4 = 112; 5-6 = 211; 7-8 = 212;
9 or more = 311. Students in doubt about their placement level
should consult the chairperson.

wish to take a course above the level determined by previous studies
in that language.
Students who elect to take a course below the one in which they are
placed by the department may do so, but grading must be PIN only.
The language requirement will be satisfied only by completion of the
course in which the student was originally placed. Credit and grading
for that course may be traditional.

History Department (HIS)
History is to society what memory is to an individual: it brings to a civilization an understanding of its identity. The distinguished MedievalistJ.R.
Strayer expresses it this way: "No community can survive and no institution can function without constant reference to past experience. We are
mled by precedents fully as much as by laws, which is to say that we are
ruled by the collective memory of the past. It is the memory of common
experiences which makes scattered individuals into a community."
A society's history is also a storehouse of human experiences that enables
us to deal more knowledgeably with the continuities and changes in current issues. Established disciplines, as history long has been, train the
mind by developing concepts and skills that enables one to deal with
masses of information. Many have found that history is an entree into the
richer eqjoyrnent of travel, cultural events, and the broad reading eqjoyed
by the educated person. Accordingly, history has long held a maljor role in
the liberal arts. This is true at Augsburg.
The department has strength in and requires of its majors work in four
main areas: ancient and medieval, modem Europe, United States, and the
non-western world. The department's graduates are well represented
among professional historians: at present, six are in graduate schools preparing for such careers. More have distinguished themselves as social
studies teachers in elementary and secondary schools and current projections indicate that there will be growing opportunity in that field for history
maljors. For most of our students, however, the study of history provides
one of the better undergraduate liberal arts experiences, valuable both for
personal enrichment and a wide variety of career choices.

Humanities (HUM)
Bruce Reichenbach (Chairperson),John Benson
The Humanities mqjor provides the opportunity to reflect across departmental lines, t o experience the ways in which different academic disclplines approach similar questionsand issues, and to participate in interdisciplinary learning experiences. You can, in effect, create your own
mqjor by choosing a theme or topic you wish to study, and then by taking
courses in various departments relating to that theme.
The mqjor was created especially to encourage students not mqjoring in
the humanities but in such areas as science, business, or social science to
broaden their insights and perspectives by taking a broadly-based second
m qjor.
Maor: 9 courses, including 275. Six of the courses must be upper division. Courses must be selected from at least four of these seven departments - Art, English, Foreign Languages, History, Philosophy,
Religion, and Speech, Communication and Theater Arts. No more
than three courses from any one department can be used to satisfy
the requirement.
Each student taking a humanities major will focus on some particular
theme or perspective which will constitute the core of the major program. Six of the nine courses must be taken in this core. The core
adopted and the courses chosen to meet the requirement will be
worked out with the student's adviser in the humanities, and must be
approved by the Humanities Major Committee. The theme or perspective of the core can be chosen from those listed in the Humanities Handbook or can be created by the student in consultation with
an adviser in the humanities. Further information concerning the core
can be found in the Humanities Handbook.
A student may not list a double major in humanities and in one of the
component disciplines unless the distribution of courses selected in
the humanities major is significantly different from the other major.
275 Perspectives on the Humanities
An introduction to the humanities which focuses on different themes, dependin upon the instructor. The course correlates ideas, principles and
values $om the perspectives of several of the humanities disciplines.

Norma C. Noonan (Director)
International Relations is an interdisciplinary major which offers the student both breadth and depth. The student may focus on a discipline or
geographic area of the world. The program consists of a core of seven
courses and seven electives chosen from a wide list of courses offered at
Augsburg and other colleges. Students are encouraged to consider foreign study for Interim or a semester. Competency in one language is required, and some students study two languages.
The goal of the program is to give students a broad exposure to international studies with considerable freedom to choose options for specialization. Students in the recent past have focused their studies on Latin America, the Middle East, Western Europe, the USSR, the Far East, Southeast
Asia. and others.
Recent students have had double mqjors in History, Political Science, or a
foreign language. Numerous combinations of majors and minors are possible with the International Relations major.

N o t e : Only the fourth or higher term of languages counts toward the
major; prerequisite courses or competencies cannot be credited
toward the 14 required courses. Students should confer with the program director about regional and disciplinary concentrations possible within the major, for example, a concentration on a geographic
area or in one of the major disciplines in the program.
Mathematics and
Computer Science
Department
At least since Socrates, scholars have appreciated the value ofmathematics in developing the skills of critical thinking, understanding abstract concepts, and analyzing and solving problems. Coupled with the more modem needs of quantitative thinking, these skills are still essential for any
liberally-educatedperson. Mathematics and computer science courses at
Augsburg are intended to help develop these skills.
Mathematical ideas in and of themselves have had a formative impact on
the development of civilization, and the development of computers has begun to influence modem society. To the extent that a liberal education
must include a variety of perspectives on our culture and heritage, a study
of these influences is important.
An increasing number of academic disciplines require a working knowledge of the tools of mathematics and computer science. To this end, the
department of Mathematics and Computer Science serves students majoring in a wide variety of fields.
Majors within this department are prepared for work in industry, service
professions, or graduate study, with opportunities to focus on either the
theoretical or the applied areas of their vocations. The department aims to
provide its own majors with skills necessary to serve the larger community
through a variety of careers.

Music
Department (nus)
Throughout the ages, music has been seen as an aesthetic expression of
the deepest and highest human emotions and thoughts. Thus music has
long been seen as an integral part of a liberal arts education, offering an
important component of personal, social, and intellectual development.
The Music Department at Augsburg College offers courses in music and
music performance to give students access to this essential aspect of human historv and culture. In addition. all students of the colleae community have the opportunity of
in choral and instruhental ensembles which perform locally, nationally, and internationally.
Augsburg College is an institutional member of the National Association
of Schools of Music. The Music Department serves the general education
needs of students and offers professional training in music. The music major combines a broad education in the liberal arts with a preparation for a
wide range of graduate and professional opportunities. Student majors
may choose from among four majors in three degree programs: Bachelor
of Arts - Music Major: Bachelor of Music - Performance Major: Bachelor
of Music - Music Education Major: and Bachelor of Science - Music
Therapy Major.
In addition to opportunities as professional musicians, teachers of music,
and music therapists, graduates have access to a wide variety of careers.
Leaders in the professions and business regard a liberal arts major as an
excellent preparation for satisfying and effective service in many occupational areas.

Applied Music
Ensembles: One quarter course credit per semester is granted to
members of major ensembles (MUE 111,112,121, 141). Other ensembles carry no credit. Traditional grading is required for music majors and minors in ensemble courses. The general student may register for credit with either traditional or PIN grading, or may choose
no credit status with audit (V) designation. A maximum of 2 course
credits in ensemble may be counted toward graduation requirements.
Performance Studies: All students enrolled in Performance studies
for credit are required to satisfy each of the three synergistic elements: lessons, performances, and listening. The general (non-music
major or minor) student must take private lessons for no credit (PIN
grading only) and is not required to fulfill the additional performance
and listening requirements.
Lessons: Private instruction in voice, piano, organ and any instrument is available for all students in the following categories:
No credit - one half-hourlesson and three hours of practice per week.
One quarter c o u r s e credit - one half-hour lesson and 4 hours of practice
per week.
One half c o u r s e credit - two half-hour lessons and 8 hours of practice per
week.
One c o u r s e credit (B.M.only) - two half-hour lessons and 12 hours of practice per week.
Performances: All students registered in performance studies for
credit must perform at the end of each semester for a faculty panel,
each year in a general student recital, and a s additionally required by
the instructor.
Listening: All students registered in performance studies for credit
are required to attend 10 designated music events during the aca-
demic year. Failure to attend the required number of Faculty Artist Series recitals, major ensemble home concerts, or other designated
music events is a factor in determining the final grade received in performance studies.
Recitals: A committee composed of the student's teacher and two
other music faculty members will determine the final grade for all recitals and will conduct a prerecital hearing for senior B.M. recitals.
Concurrent registration in performance studies in the major performance medium is required for recital performance.
B.A. a n d B.S. Candidates - one half senior recital 458 at repertoire level Ill.

Ensembles (MUE)
& Performance Studies (MUP)
Ensembles: These musical organizations exist not only for the ben-
efit of the music student, but for any student who wishes to participate. Membership is determined by audition during the first week of
fall semester. (Special circumstances may permit entering a t other
times.) Assignment to an ensemble is then made at the discretion of
the appropriate faculty. Membership is for the entire academic year
which, on occasion, includes interims.
While the department strongly encourages both formal and informal
ensemble experience, only membership in Band, Orchestra, Choir or
Chorale will satisfy the major, minor or distribution requirements. Instruments are available for rent.

tionally. All areas of study are available to the non-music major or minor on a no credit - P/N basis only. (Group lessons, at a reduced fee,
a r e available in some areas on the same basis.) All lessons a r e
adapted to the individual needs of the student and those bearinn
credit are supplementea by accompanying, ensemble participation
and other performances. Representative programs of study in private
instruction are outlined In Music Department Guides. These repertoire lists are graded I-V to indicate levels of achievement and the following expectations: No-credit study has no repertoire requirements;
Music Minor - Level I; B.A. and B.S. Majors - enter I and attain 111;
B.M.-Education Major - enter I1 and attain IV; B.M. Performance Major - enter II and attain V.

Philosophy Department (PHI)
The department of Philosophy is devoted to instructing students in the discipline of critical thinking in relation to the traditional areas of philosophy:
theory of knowledge, metaphysics, ethics, and logic. By exposing our students to the great thinkers of the past as well as the present, the department of philosophy endeavors to instill a sense of critical analysis and a
love of truth.
Since the object of the liberal arts cumculum aims at promoting proficiency in those actions most condign to human dignity, the Philosophy department, with its emphasis upon the analytical contemplation of truth,
must always play a crucial role in helping students to focus their thinking
with respect to what truth there is to be found in the depth of human experience and in the world both here and beyond, that encompasses human
destiny. By infusing in students the desire to fulfill the maxim of Delphi,
"Know Thyselfl" the study of philosophy furthers in a unique way the
quest of liberal arts to express without constraint the fullness of the human potential for perfection.
At Augsburg the philosophy mqjor is founded upon the principle that philosophy is best learned at the feet of the masters. Therefore, the core of
the mqjor consists of four courses in the history of philosophy leading
from the ancient Greeks and Romans, through the Medieval and the Renaissance periods to Modernity. In these courses students are taught how
to read, understand, and criticize the great texts of the finest minds in
Western civilization. In addition, mqjors are expected to prepare themselves in the discipline of philosophy by taking the various seminars which
the department offers as well as exploring the opportunities to study tutorially with the individual members of the Philosophy faculty.
This mqjor has been carefully planned so that students can easfly supplement the study of philosophy with other studies. Maom are educated with
the demands of further graduate study in mind. However, many philoscphy mqjilors plan to go on to other proksdonal studies such as law or medicine. Many enter thc market place, reeling that the study of philosophy
has given thcm the ability to think critically in all areas of human affairs.
Philosophy Faculty:
Mark Fuehrer (Chairperson), Kenneth Bailey, Bruce Reichenbach
Mqjor: 9 courses, including 130, 141, 242, 343, 444, and another

Honors MaJor: Admission to the Philosophy Honors program is by
recommendalinn of the philosophy faculty. Such recommendations
will be made a t Lhc end of Lhejunior year. The program will consist of
an honors thesis on an approved topic of the studenl's choice, invofvIng research above t h e course level, and a defense o l this thesis before the faculty of the department.
Minor: 5 courses, including two from 141,242,343,and 444.
Note: 110, 120, and 130 are recommended for hlfilling the general
education requirement.

will work in researching and developing philosophical problems in the
special sciences. (Suggested prior course, 130 or one course in natural

Physics Department (pm)
Physicists are not only curious about the world, but ambitious as well.
Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles which describe and
govern all physical aspects of the universe. Called "natural philosophers"
in previous centuries, physicists investigate natural systems by means of
controlled experimentation and mathematical analysis, Physics includes
the study of systems ranging in size from sub-atomic particles to the largest of galaxies, and from the relative stillness of near absolute zero temperature to the fiery activity of the stars. As a fascinating and expanding
area of study and as a basic science, physics plays an important role in
many of the Liberal Arts disciplines and contributes to society's understanding of such areas as energy, weather, medical science and space exploration.
Recognizing the importance of physics in contemporary life and realizing
that keeping abreast of the rapid advances is an ever increasing challenge,
the department intends to bring to the students not only basic concepts
but also insights into recent developments. In this process, the faculty expects challenges to arise, be met, and stimulate sound thinking, perceptive judgment, and an interest in experimental techniques.
To this end a rigorous major provides students with the in-depth preparation required for graduate study. More than two-thirds of the graduates in
Physics have completed or are currently working toward graduate degrees
at a number of fine universities across the nation. A major in physics provides flexibility. It also served as a stepping stone for graduate work in related areas such as computer science, atmospheric science and meteorology, astronomy, oceanography, biophysics, environmental science,
engineering and medical and health related fields for many physics graduates.
In addition, the physics program at Augsburg functions in a supportive
role for students majoring in mathematics, chemistry, biology and computer science. The Department also supervises the pre-engineering program with degree programs available at cooperating universities at both
the bachelor's and the advanced degree levels.
The Department serves the liberal arts tradition by offering courses for the
non-sciencestudents that will enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science. These courses seek to provide the basic
starting point for further study and the opportunity to enable students to
follow new developments with some degree of comprehension.

Political
Science (POL)
Firmly grounded in the liberal arts tradition, political science has roots in
the humanities, including philosophy and history. Through its use of statistical analysis, it relates not only to other behavioral sciences, but also to
mathematics and the sciences generally. The role and significance of authority in human affairs establish the focus of political science; because
politics is a central and enduring reality in the world, it affects and is affected by many other human concerns.
As an academic discipline, political science uses systematic inquiry and
analysis to examine political reality and to suggest and test alternatives.
The student who majors in political science will explore political ideas and
values, investigate political cooperation and conflict, analyze and compare
political systems, and develop perspectives on international relations. In
the process, the student will he encouraged to relate. Insights from other
liberal arts disciplines such as philosoplly, psychology, economics, his.
tory, and sociology to the study of politics.
Providing work in several sub-ffelds of political science, the mqjor supplies
the breadth appropriate for graduate work In the dtsctpline, as well as in
public adminstration, public policy analysis, law, and other professions. It
also serves as a foundation on which to develop careers in public service,
business, communications, and other fields. Legislative and other internships, as well as significant independent research projects, are within easy
reach of Augsburg political science students in the Twin Cities area; combined with broad, balanced and flexible course offerings, these special opportunities enhance the student's potential for graduate study and a successful career.
Augsburg political science students have the benefit oFan experienced faculty that brinpls a balanced expertise to the course offerings, as well as speciai strengthsin Interpreting politics in the contexts of the mass communications media. communism. and American ~ u b l i claw. The de~artmental
faculty is committed to the view that the study of politics, invoiving as it
does an understanding of the human heritage and the importance of informed choice in human affairs, is an important aspect of liberal learnings.
