I
DR. LELAND B. SATEREN, a
1935 graduate of Augsburg College,
received his master's degree from
the University of Minnesota i n
1943. He returned to Augsburg in
1946 and has directed the Augsburg Choir and served as chairman
of the Department of Music since
1950.In 1965 he was honored with
a Doctor of Humane Letters degree
from Gettysburg College, Gettysburg, Pa., and a Doctor of Music
degree from Lakeland College, Sheboygan, Wis. With many published
choral works to his credit, Dr.
Sateren has also written several
books and numerous articles on
choral music and its performance.
Wide interest i n the field of
music is evidenced by his professional memberships in the Music
Educators Association, the Hymn
Society of America, and his work
as a member of the Inter-Lutheran
Commission on Worship. The Augsburg Choir, under Dr. Sateren's
direction, has premiered several
contemporary pieces which emphasize t h e "new sound" i n choral
music. In December the choir sang
the premiere of Christobal Halffter's "Yes Speak Out Yes" i n the
General Assembly of the United
Nations in New York City with the
Minnesota Orchestra.
Choral Topics I
"Graphing the Vowel," "Suspensions and Other
Organic Expressive Elements" a n d "Part
Dynamics" are included in the topics for discussion and demonstration.

Recreation Period
KNUT NYSTEDT, a graduate of
the Oslo Conservatory of Music, is
conductor of the Norwegian Soloist
Choir and professor of choral conducting at the University of Oslo.
He is ;currently composer in residence at Augsburg College. In the
United States he has studied composition with Aaron Copland, conducting with Robert Shaw, a n d
organ with Ernest White. His compositions, both choral and instrumental. have been premiered i n
Norway by both the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra and the Norske
Solistkor and in this country by several orchestral and choral groups
including the Augsburg Choir. Mr.
Nystedt recently received the
St. Olaf Veda1 from the King of
Norway for his contributions to the
musical life of his country. In the
year of its birth, Nystedt's setting
of "De Profundis" won the coveted
Norwegian prize as the best composition of the year, all categories
considered, and it was subsequently
performed a t t h e International
Society for Contemporary Music.
Given its U. S. premiere by the
Augsburg Choir, the revolutionary
character of the piece opened new
paths in choral composition and
performance in this country. His
later "Praise to God" continued the
exploration of new sounds. This
work was given its world premiere
by the Augsburg Choir.
DR. DALE WARLAND has been
at Macalester College since 1967.
A native of Fort Dodge, Iowa, Dr.
Warland is a graduate of St. Olaf
College and has attended the University of Minnesota (M.A.) and
the University of Southern California (D.M.A.). His professional
career has included positions at
Humboldt State College (Calif.),
and Keuka College (New York) before joining Macalester. He has prepared several major choral works
for performance with the Minnesota Orchestra. During the past
season, the Macalester choirs participated q i t h the symphony i n
Penderecki's "St. Luke's Passion"
premiere in New York City and in
a local performance of "Missa
Solemnis" by Beethoven.
Minneapolis, the City of Lakes, offers a full
and varied program of recreation opportunities
to complement the facilities a t Augsburg
College. Swimming i n one of the many lakes,
golfing at the municipal courses and other
activities are easily accessible to participants.

COLLEGE
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Music is never static. It is constantly alive speaking - expressing. As music continues to develop
new avenues and vehicles of expression, the director
must seek the understanding and techniques of
bringing this expression to his audience.
Leland B. Sateren and the Augsburg Choir have
long been associated with the presentation of "new"
choral music. Each year they have premiered important new works such as Nystedt's "Praise to God."
Knut Nystedt, Norway's leading composer of
choral music, is active in the "new" sounds in choral
composition. Mr. Nystedt is extending his stay as
composer in residence at Augsburg College to take
part in this workshop.
Dale Warland, director of choral organizations at
Macalester College, has been associated with the
preparation and performance of a number of larger
contemporary works including the New York City
premiere of Penderecki's "St. Luke's Passion" with
the Minnesota Orchestra.
Augsburg College has chosen this, its Centennial
Year, to enter the field of choral workshops. The
importance of this new music, the music of the
future, will be the primary focus of the Sateren
Choral Workshop in its first year.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
Augsburg College is a Christian liberal arts college of The
American Lutheran Church. The
faculty and the Board of Regents of the College affirm the
following as their understanding of the aims, philosophy, objectives and character of this
institution.
ULTIMATE AlMS
TO contribute to the true good
of human life and society.
To contribute to the building
of free and living congregations
in the community of the Christian Church.
BASIC PHILOSOPHY
The Christian message concerning the redemptive act of
God in Christ constitutes the
greatest potential for good in
human life and society; but this
potential is realized only insofar
as it is actualized in the minds
and hearts of individuals.
The redemption of the mind
constitutes the unique educational task laid upon the Christian
Church; in seeking to relate all
learning to the truth of the
Christian faith, the Christian college performs its greatest service both to the Church and to
society.
Where there is an atmosphere
of free and honest inquiry, truth
has the overwhelming advantage;
the Christian college, therefore,
pursues its purposes not by indoctrination or coercion, but by
inviting teachers and students
to join in a common search for
truth and in a common attempt
to see all truth in relation to
ultimate Truth.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
To attract to the college students of high ability and genuine religious concern who can
reap the maximum benefit from
a program of Christian higher
education.
To provide a campus setting
that is conducive to the spiritual,
mental, moral and physical wellbeing of its students.
To stimulate its students' intellectual interest, and to assist
them to develop the habits and
skills necessary for sound academic work.
To acquaint its students with
the spiritual, cultural and intellectual riches of mankind, both
for the sake of the enrichment
of their own lives and, through
them, for the enrichment of their
homes and communities.
To confront its students with
the problems and benefits of
living and serving in an increasingly urban culture.
To lead its students to a deeper understanding and experience
of the Christian Gospel in its
relati,on to every area of life
and learning.
To assist its students in discovering and clarifying their
peculiar aptitudes and interests,
and to provide training and
counsel that will assist them
in preparing for a life work appropriate thereto.
To aid its students in the development of Christian attitudes
and Christian qualities of character; and to encourage each
GENERAL
INFORMATION
student to look upon his life
as a Christian vocatio,n, and an
opportunity for service t o God
and man.
DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER
Augsburg College is a Christian community of life and learning.
As a Christian academic community, Augsburg seeks that
high level of excellence which
is appropriate to such a community.
Augsburg treasures its religious and cultural heritage as an
institution founded by Lutheran
immigrants from Norway who
sought t o play a creative role
in American life and society,
and seeks to preserve the enduring values of this heritage
in the life of the college community today.
As a metropolitan college,
Augsburg attempts to relate its
faculty and students t o an urban
culture by utilizing the educational, social, cultural and religious resources of the growing
metropolitan
community
in
which it is located.
THE PHYSICAL PLANT
Instructional facilities and student housing a t Augsburg are
conveniently located in relation
to each other.
Old Main, erected in 1900, contains a large number of classrooms and offices.
Science Hall, erected in 194849, includes the general administration offices; well-equipped
laboratories for chemistry, phys-
ics, and biology; a medium-sized
auditorium; and several classrooms and faculty offices. The

the Augsburg Archives, classrooms, and a number o~f faculty
offices. There is stack space for
approximately 100,000 volumes.

to 1942, basketball coach and
head of the Christianity department, provides excellent facilities for the health and physical

Women, completed in 1967, is
an eleven-story building providing living quarters for 324 women students. The building was
named in honor of Mr. and Mrs.
Andrew Urness who have given

faculty and administration offices in one wing.

corporates a building donated
to the college in 1939 from the
late Dr. Iver Sivertsen and Mrs.
Sivertsen, and a larger addition
erected in 1955 and named in

dean of women at Augsburg
from 1923 to 1964. The building
provides housing for about 144
men students as well as apartments for the resident head.

expanded campus area to provide accommodations for men
or women students, married students and for faculty and staff
members.

located on the West River Road.
THE ARCHIVES
The Augsburg Archives seeks
to gather and make available
for use documents, books, and
other articles of historical value.

provides adequate, fire-proof
quarters for the archives. Here
are found a large collection of
periodicals, manuscripts, letters
and pictures, affording extensive
resources for scholarly research.

George Sverdrup Library provides a central study-workshop
for both faculty and students.
It contains about 70,000 volumes, exclusive of pamphlets,

7,000 new volumes each year.
Students and faculty working in
either of the two large reading
rooms find the atmosphere conducive to quiet study and research materials close at hand.

shelves. Reference service, provided by an able and welltrained staff, is available to
students.
Special collections have been
developed in the Music Library,

larger groups or small classes. A
typing comer is provided in the
first-floor reading room.
The library subscribes to
nearly 600 of the best periodi-
cals dealing with a large variety
of subjects, as well as a number
of serials devoted to the interests of special fields. Current
issues are displayed in a pleasant browsing area.
The library plays an active
role in promoting general reading, presenting regular book displays, and sponsoring monthly
book discussions for faculty,
staff, and students.
In the Twin City area are
other libraries which make their
holdings available to Augsburg
students, notably, the St. Paul
and Minneapolis public libraries,
the latter of which issues library
cards to out-of-town students
for each school year.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Financial aid in the form of loan funds, scholarships, and parttime employment is available a t Augsburg College.
Augsburg participates in the College Scholarship Service (CSS) of
the College Entrance Examination Board. Participants in CSS subscribe to the principle that the amount of financial aid granted a
student should be based uposn financial need. The CSS assists the
college's financial aid officer in determining the student's need for
financial assistance. Entering students seeking financial assistance
are required to submit a copy of the Parents' Confidential Statement
(PCS) form to the College Scholarship Service, designating Augsburg College as one of the recipients, by March 15. The PCS form
may be obtained from a secondary school or the College Scholarship
Service, Box 881, Evanston, Illinois 60204. All upper-class students
are required to submit a Parents' Confidential Statement-Renewal
form each year.
Several loan funds have been established to assist students in working out their financial problems. Loans may be arranged at a reasonable rate of interest for various periods of time.
The General Student Loan Fund, established through the gifts of
many individual donors, is maintained chiefly by contributions from
the Augsburg College Women's Club.
National Defense Student Loans, established by the National Defense Education Act of 1958, are available t o students capable of
maintaining good standing in their chosen course of study. Special
consideration will be given to all students with a superior academic
background. Loans will normally be granted for the academic year,
September through June, or the remaining balance thereof. Reapplication will be necessary for each succeeding loan period.
United Student Aid Funds is a program of endorsing loans made
by local banks to college students requiring financial assistance. A
grant to the college by the Gamble-Skogmo Foundation provided
the funds to establish the initial reserves required. The United
Student Aid Fund Incorporation also handles the Federal Insured
Loan program.
Arrangements for all types of loans are made through a conference
with the Dean of Students, chairman of the faculty committee on financial aid. In addition to arranging loans, the committee counsels
students on financial matters with the objective in mind of helping the student work out a satisfactory plan for his finances.

MPUS
There are many influences which mould life and character in c01lege. While the exercises d classroom, laboratory, and library
form the organizing basis of college activity, they need to be supplemented by other than academic forces. These intangible but very
real supplementary influences have much to do with creating the
climate of an institution. At Augsburg definite emphasis is placed
upon the maintenance of a wholesome spirit of Christian community living.
THE CHAPEL SERVICE
At the center of Augsburg's program is the daily chapel service,
where the faculty and students gather for united worship, prayer,
and a brief meditation upon the Word of God. Regular attendance
is expected of all students and faculty.

its major responsibility in relation to worship, devotional life, and
the stimulation of faith through discussion and service.
RECREATION STANDARDS
AND DISCIPLINE
At Augsburg all of the work of the college rests on certain Biblical affirmatives about human nature and man's relation to God.
As a Christian liberal arts college, Augsburg takes these relationships seriously and therefore seeks to educate the whole man.
It follows that one of its important responsibilities is to establish
programs and policies that contribute to this end.
It is expected of each student that his life, conduct and influence, both on and off campus, shall be worthy of a member of a
Christian college, and students who do not feel drawn to this
quality of life should not seek to be enrolled at Augsburg.
Without attempting to dictate to the individual conscience, the
college reserves the right to ask its students to adapt themselves
to the social and recreational program approved by the college.
It reserves the right to dismiss any student whose continuation
in college is deemed undesirable for social as well as for academic
reasons.
It is the policy of the college that such action shall be taken only
after the available campus resources of counseling and judicial
processes have been utilized. Thus, disciplinary problems are first
dealt with through counseling. Those not solved this way are
channeled to a student-faculty Judicial Council through the Office of the Dean of Students. In all cases, careful investigation and
the privilege of a hearing precede any disciplinary action.
In seeking to develop a constructive recreational program, some
limitations have been placed on certain activities. The college is
opposed to all forms of gambling. The college does not allow
the possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages in residence
halls, in any college-approved place of residence or at any collegesponsored event. Minnesota state law forbids the possession or
consumption of alcoholic beverages by people who are not 21
years of age.

Buffet, Sno-Days, the Carnival, and the spring formal dance.
Many students take part in the social society system at Augsburg
by joining either a men's or women's society. These societies are
small groups which provide a natural contact between upperclass

INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Augsburg is a member of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference. The college is represented annually by teams in football, cross country, basketball, hockey, wrestling, baseball, track,
tennis, and golf.
PURPOSE AND PHILOSOPHY
OF INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
It is the purpose of Augsburg College to provide an intercollegiate
athletic program which is in harmony with its Christian philosophy.
This philosophy is to be reflected in the conduct and outlook of both
the players and the spectators. The educational program of the
college recognizes that recreation and play are a fundamental part
of human life, and that this phase of life needs to be cultivated if
physical, mental, and emotional health are to be maintained. Intercollegiate athletics, as a phase of that program, gives recognition to
the fact that competitive play can contribute to the development of
student interests, skills, insights, and loyalties.
More specifically, the following outcomes are sought: (1) The student participating in athletics should acquire and exhibit, both in
and out of athletics, such basic qualities of character as self-discipline, honesty, sense of fair play, and cooperation. (2) The participant
should develop the knowledge, interests, and skills which will be
of special use to him in such vocations as teaching and coaching
or recreational leadership, or in his own recreational activities.
Far from being set apart from his educational goal or in any way
competing with it, the student's participation in intercollegiate
athletics must either contribute directly to this goal or be complementary to his other educational activities. (3) The student
spectator should acquire and exhibit some of the finer qualities of
Christian character, such as self-restraint, sense of fair play, appreciation of high-grade performance on the part of both opponents
and fellow-students, and respect for individual personality. (4) The
intercollegiate athletic program should contribute to the development of a unified and healthy "school spirit." Enthusiasm for intercollegiate athletics or other co-curricular activities should not
overshadow pride in high scholastic achievement, nor can it take
the place of a well-rounded and effective intramural and general
recreational program.
ELIGIBILITY
REQUIREMENTS
In order to participate in certain extra-curricular activities, students must meet established eligibility requirements. Organizations
check eligibility of candidates by submitting a list to the Director
of Student Activities for approval.

The Harold A. Johnson Trophy, presented by Gerald L. Johnson
in 1943, is awarded annually to the student who is judged to be
the most valuable player on the basketball team.
Outstanding seniors are nominated annually by a Student-Faculty
Committee for membership in Who's Who Among Students in
American Colleges and Universities. Special attention is given
to scholarship, leadership and participation in extra-curricular activities such as athletics, drama, music organizations, societies,
student government and community activities.
Institutional services to students are organized and administered
in accordance with plans and policies established by the Student
Personnel Committee. Included are such services as Admissions,
Counseling, Testing, Freshman Orientation, Student Records, The
Student Health Service, Housing and Food Service, Placement,
Student Employment, and Coordination of Student Activities. The
administration of these services is centered in the Office of the
Dean of Students.

COUNSELING
Counseling services are maintained in an effort to assist each
student to obtain the maximum benefits from the learning experiences offered a t Augsburg College. Matters such as uncertainty
over vocational choice or educational planning, religious uncertainty, health or financial problems, personal and social adjustment and personal deficiencies can interfere with the learning
process and are dealt with in counseling sessions. It is hoped that
through counseling, students will develop a more realistic understanding of themselves and the surrounding world, and keener
awareness of resources available to them as they meet the problems of daily life.
At Augsburg the counseling process is carried on a t several levels.
All faculty members participate in the counseling program, and
each new student is assigned to a faculty counselor who works
with him until he chooses a major field of study. At that time,
the major adviser becomes his counselor. In addition, there are staff
members who have specialized training in counseling and techniques
for dealing with problems of adjustment. The personnel deans
serve as special counselors. The counseling program is coordinated
through the Director of Psychological Services in the Office of
the Dean of Students in accordance with the plans and policies
established by the Student Personnel Committee.
RECORDS
Individual student records are kept in the Records Office under
the supervision of the Registrar. These records include admission
data, academic achievement, student participation and achievement
in non-academic activities, test scores, reports of counseling, and
other information.
The Student Personnel Office maintains a file of student government
officers, of clubs and societies, including the constitutions, activities, schedules, and membership rosters.
THE STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE
The Student Health Service provides dispensary service with
two registered nurses on duty. The college physician has daily
office hours for consultation and for emergency treatment.
Infirmary roloms are provided. The Health Service is located in
Fairview Hospital, adjacent to the campus.
Physical examinations are given to all seniors. Before registering,
each entering student is required to have on file the report of a
physical examination given by his family physician. Corrective
treatment is prescribed where needed.
Students who have personal problems are encouraged to seek help
through counseling conferences. If a serious problem develops
which demands professional skill, the student is referred to the
offices of the personnel deans. Referrals may be made to the College Chaplain, or the College Psychologist.
FRESHMAN ORIENTATION
Freshmen and other new students participate in Freshman Days
before the beginnkg of classes each year. The students take tests,
attend classes, inspect the college facilities, and become acquainted
with their fellow students, with the faculty, and especially with
their own faculty counselors. The faculty counselors and students
have several conferences during which they plan the student's
program of study.
All new students are given a battery of tests during Freshman
Days. Scholastic Aptitude Test scores and special placement test
scores are used by counselors to help students plan their initial
programs. Personality inventories and the vocational interest profiles help the students to know more about themselves, in order to
make a good choice of subjects and occupational goals.
A special course in improvement of reading is offered for interested students. Freshmen who expect difficulty with the increased
quantity and complexity of the reading material encountered in
college are especially urged to enroll in this course.
IJ HOUSING AND FOOD SERVICE
In its residence program, the college aims to develop in the students
Christian character, self-control, and thoughtful consideration of
others. At the same time, the college realizes that students' happiness, comfort, and emotional adjustment in the residence halls
are direct influences on their general efficiency in the classroom.
In an effort to provide these opportunities for development, student
residence councils assume the responsibilities for the administration of dormitory life policies in consultation with the head residents and personnel deans.
Upper-class students serve as counselors in the residences and attempt to help residents with problems of personal adjustment. The
head residents and personnel deans serve as resource people for
these counselors and handle cases referred to them.
All students not living at home are required to live in collegeoperated housing. Students desiring to reside in the city with
relatives must first secure approval for such an arrangement from
the Student Personnel Office. All students living in residences
take their meals in the Commons. The college also provides a
number of houses for men and women with a cooperative houseplan option.
Residence halls are open to students a day before regular schedules become effective, and they close a day after the term closes.
Students who wish to stay in residence during vacations must
apply for the privilege. Rooms are furnished except for bed linen,
towels, blankets, and bedspreads. Laundry facilities are available
in each residence. Bed linens and towels may be rented with
laundering service a t a reasonable cost. This service is required
of all students in residence halls. An optional linen service is
available to students living in houses.
Students engage a room a t the beginning of the fall term for the
entire school year. A room deposit is required of upper-class students to hold a room. This fee is payable a t the Treasurer's Office
by May 15. Students who have not paid the room deposit by this
date are automatically removed from the housing roster. No refunds are made after August 1.
All men living in Memorial Hall, Mortensen-Sivertsen Hall and
cottage housing, are required to pay a $20 key and breakage fee
a t the beginning of each school year. At the end of the year the
fee is refunded if the condition of the room and furniture is satisfactory and the key is returned.
GRADUATE PLACEMENT
The Placement Bureau assists seniors and alumni in securing positions. Continuous contact is maintained with business, governmental, welfare, and educational institutions a t the local, state,
and national levels. The services of the Placement Bureau are free
t o graduating seniors. Alumni seeking the services of the Placement
Bureau will be charged a re-registration fee of $5. There is no
placement fee.
CO-ORDINATION OF STUDENT ACTIVITIES
The Director of Student Activities assists student officers to
maintain effective functioning of student activities, and keeps
on file the club constitutions, rosters, and schedules of meetings.
Faculty advisers to student organizations are approved by the Director. The program of student activities is a primary responsibility of the Program Commission and the Student Organization
Commission in addition to other Boards and Commissions under
the Augsburg Student Society.
A weekly bulletin of events is prepared for the Echo by the Student Personnel Office. The college Master Calendar is kept in the
Office of Student Activities.

CONDITIONS AND INCOMPLETES
A condition or an incomplete received at the end of a term must
be removed within the first five weeks of classes of the following
term. If conditions and incompletes are not removed within five
weeks of the following term, the condition automatically becomes
a failure and the incomplete becomes the grade submitted by the
teacher along with the Incomplete. The final grade after the con,dition examination is taken may not be higher than D. A fee of
$5 is charged for an examination making up an incomplete or a
condition received a t the end of a term.
REPEATING COURSES
A course which has been failed or in which a D has been earned
may be repeated for credit. Only the credits and grade earned the
second time are counted toward graduation. Courses in which
higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit;
they may, however, be audited.
-
REGISTRATION
Students who have been accepted for admission should register
on the days designated in the Calendar for this purpose. Those who
register late are charged a late registration fee of $1 per day after
classes begin. The last date on which a student may register for
or enter a course is one week after the beginning of classes. Registration for audit requires the same procedure as registration for
credit. Audit registration is considered equal to one-half the credit
registration in determining load and fees.
Registration means that the student accepts all the rules and regulations established by the school.
No credit will be given a student for any subject for which he has
not registered.
The college reserves the right to cancel any course for whichthere
is not sufficient registration.
The normal registration is 15 credit hours. A credit hour is nonnally defined as one recitation period a week throughout a term. The
privilege of registering for more than 17 credit hours is granted to
students who have gained an average record of B, or three grade
points per credit, in the preceding term. No student is permitted to carry work for more than 19 credits per term. Students
working part-time are urged to arrange the amount omf their registration accordingly.
CHANGE OF REGISTRATION AND CANCELLATION
A student who desires to make a change in his registration should
obtain a form from the Registrar's Office. The approval of the
teachers concerned, the student's adviser, and the Registrar are
needed. A fee of $2 is charged for each change of registration after
the first three days of classes. No course may be added after the
first week of classes.
A course which is cancelled during the first four weeks of classes
is followed by W. After the first four weeks and before the last
three weeks of the term, a course which is cancelled is given a grade
of WP if the student is passing and WF if he is failing the course.
No course may be cancelled during the last three weeks of the
term.
A student who finds it necessary to leave school before the end
of a term must cancel his registration at the Registrar's Office in
order to remain in good standing.
CLASSIFICATION IJ
In order to be classified in one of the regular college classes, a
student must be carrying a minimum of 12 hours of work in which
college credit is given. Classification is based on the attainment of
the following number of credit hours with a t least twice that number of grade points:
Credits
Grade Points
36
72
Sophomore
84
168
Junior
130
260
Senior
Students are classified by this regulation a t the time of their registration each school year.
Students registered for less than 12 credits are classified as special
students.
PROBATION AND DISMISSAL
A student is placed on scholastic probation a t the end of any term
in which his achievement is unsatisfactory. The following guidelines are used in placing a student on probation with the overall
average entering in as an additional factor.
First-year students with a grade point average o,f 1.5 or below
Second-year students with a grade point average of 1.6 or below
Third-year students with a grade point average of 1.8 or below
Fourth-year students with a grade point average of 1.8 or below
All students with 7 or more credits of F.
In order to be removed from probation, a student must achieve a
grade point average of 2.1 or better for at least one term.
A student will usually be allowed to continue on probation for two
terms. If his academic achievement has continued to be unsatisfactory, he will be dropped for low scholarship.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
Regular class attendance is required of all students in lo'wer division courses. Attendance in upper division courses is voluntary
for juniors and seniors unless required by the teacher of the class.
In classes for which attendance is required, a record of attendance
is kept and periodic reports on absences are submitted to the Registrar.
Students wh'o find it necessary to be absent because of illness or
for other reasons should report the reasons for the absence to their
teachers. For prolonged absence of over one week due to illness,
the student may obtain an excuse signed by the Health Service if
this is requested by the teacher.
Students with an excessive number of absences not excused by the
teacher may be dropped from the course with a grade of F.
Absences for tours, field trips, and other instructor-arranged activities are cleared with the Dean of the College. Lists of participants, with information as to exact periods absent, are issued by
the Dean to all instructors involved, but the student is still responsible for any work missed.
Teachers deal with tardiness as they see fit. Students arriving in
class late must assume responsibility for reporting their presence
to the teacher.
EXAMINATIONS
Tests are given periodically throughout each term. In the middle
of the fall term, reports of the grades attained by freshmen are
made to the Registrar who forwards them to the counselors, parents, and students. Final reports are sent at the end of each term
to the parents and students.
Written examinations are regularly scheduled a t the close of each
term. No student or class may arrange to take a final examination
in any course before the examination week.
Absence from a final examination will result in a grade of failure
unless the student presents a reasonable excuse immediately to the
teacher concerned.
If a student has obtained permission from the Dean of the College
to take a final examination at another hour than that scheduled,
he is charged a fee of $5 for such an examination. Before the student takes the examination, he must obtain a statement from the
Registrar's office and bring it to the teacher concerned.
COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATIONS
Comprehensive examinations may be permitted in courses in which
the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing believes the
student has adequate preparation or background. Students who wish
to take a comprehensive examination must apply in writing to this
committee. When permission is granted, the necessary approval
forms may be secured at the Office of the Registrar. A fee of $5
($10 for students not currently enrolled) is charged for each credit
hour and must be paid in advance. Examination questions and the
answers will be filed in the Registrar's Office.
UNIVERSITY COURSES
By arrangement with the University of Minnesota, students may
register for courses at the University. But such registrations will
not be allowed unless the student has a C average in his courses
at Augsburg. Also, the combined number of credits in any term
must not exceed 17. The credits thus gained a t the University may
be transferred to Augsburg College and counted towards graduation.

AMERICAN STUDIES
Mr. Nicholl, Director of Program
The aim of the program in American Studies is to develop the
student's understanding of American culture, past and present,
in breadth as well as some depth. The major is interdepartmental,
built primarily upon American area courses now offered in various
departments.
The program should offer the student a good foundation for graduate studies in law and the ministry, for the M.A. in library science
and the M.A.T. in secondary school teaching. The major would
also provide a good background for careers in the U.S. Government, particularly civil service positions and the foreign service.
Major: 56 credits, minimum
Requirements for the major include a core of foundation courses
(29 crs.); a program of elective courses for integrated study (minimum, 18 crs.) and American Studies 99 (5 crs.); and American

MR. THORPE, MR. URDAHL
It is intended that the offerings of the Department of Eiology should be
extensive enough to meet the needs and interests of a tvide variety
of students. For the nan-science major the aim is to pmvidc a reliable
basic understanding nf biological science and, more generally, of the
character of scieniifie Colmvlcclgc. The more ad\-anced courses are designed to provide a good preparation for students who elect to pursue
the study of biological science for a career in the profession of biology
or in a related area such as the medical profession.
All students who intend to complete a major or minor in biology should
plan their program carefully with specific reference to their intended
career. It is important that a prospective binlogy major consult with
the biology staff concerning this planning as soon es possible. In
general, a broad background in the supportihg sciences and in mathematics is essential. Students who plan to enter graduate or medical
school or to teach secondary school upon graduation must be certain
to meet the appropriate preparatory requirements. Recommended fouryear programs for such students are given under Curriculums in the
catalog as are the programs for pre-dental, pre-nursing and medical
technology students.
Major: Two programs leading to a biology major are available. Option
I i s recommended, with few exceptions, for students who intend to
obtain an advanced degree in biology, medicine or related fields. Option
II may be preferable for potential secondary school teachers and others
whose intended careers require relatively more work in biology and
somewhat less in the related sciences.
Option I: 38 credits in biology, including 11, 12, 72, and two terms of
seminar; introductory chemistry (Chem. 15, 16; or 5, 6) and two terms
or organic chemistry (Chem. 51, 52); one year of physics (Physics 21,
22, 23); two terms of calculus (Math. 41, 42) in addition to introductory
math. Note: Medical schools also normally require quantitative analysis
(Chem. 53).
Option 11: 46 credits in biology, including 11,12, 72, one additional course
in the 70 series, and two terms of seminar; four terms of chemistry,
normally introductory chemistry (Chem. 15, 16; or 5, 6) and either two
terms of organic Chemistry (Chem. 51, 52) or one term of organic
chemistry (Chem. 23) and one term of analytical chemistry (Chem.
53); introductory mathematics (Math. 13, 14; or Math. 40; or equivalent).
Minor: 30 credits in biology including 11 and 12; introductory chemistry
(Chem. 15, 16; or 5, 6).

Majors in this department supplement the liberal arts program with
general and specialized knowledge in business and economic affairs.
The business administration major offers a basic core of courses, and
then allows the student to choose a limited specialization in accounting
or finance, and hence to prepare for careers in these fields. The
economics major concentrates on fundamental theoretical and policy
matters so that the student learns to analyze economic issues. He
is prepared thereby for graduate study in economics. Either of these
majors also can provide the background needed for general administrative careers in business, government, or various public and private
institutions. In particular, either major could be the basis for graduate
study in such fields as hospital and public administration, industrial
relations, or law.

OF
EDUCATION
MR. JOHNSON, chairman, MRS. ANDEREGG, MR. FARDIG,
MR. GROENHOFF, MRS. LUDEMAN, MISS MATTSON,
MRS. PARKER, MR. M. QUANBECK
The education curriculum has been designed primarily for those preparing to do public school teaching, although any student who is preparing to work with youth is encouraged to study in the area. The work
in this department will qualify the graduate for teaching on the elementary or the junior and senior high school level. as well a s for further
study in the field of education. The program is accredited by the State
of Minnesota, the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools, and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.
Admission to the education curriculum requires an application to be
approved by the Committee on Teacher Education. Application must
be made during the second semester of the sophomore year. Approval
is granted on the basis of a satisfactory health report, favorable personality characteristics and a satisfactory scholastic achievement. For
elementary teaching candidates, this means essentially a 2.5 grade-point
average in work completed in the minor and a 2.0 over-all; for secondary
teaching candidates a 2.5 in work completed in the major and a 2.0
over-all. Both are expected to maintain a 2.5 average in their major
and 2.0 over-all average. Candidates in both fields must make application
for student teaching as juniors and are required to meet the 2.5 major
and 2.0 general average at this point.
ELEMENTARY EDUCATION

OF
PHYSICS Recognizing the importance of physics in contemporary life and realizing
that keeping abreast of the rapid advances in some areas is almost
impossible, although necessary, it is the desire of the department to
bring to the students not only the basic concepts, but also insights
into recent developments. By so doing it is hoped that challenges will
arise, be met, and so stimulate sound thinking, perceptive judgment,
and an interest in experimental techniques. To this end the department
prepares some students for graduate studies and some for the teaching
profession. The liberal arts tradition is served by offering courses that
will enable a student to follow developments with some degree of comprehension.

the Veterans Administration Hospital is available to students who
complete a major in Physical Education a t Augsburg. Tke program
requires 250 hours of clinical observation. practice, and orientation under the direction of the Chief of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Service at the Veterans Hospital. The work may be
done either during the senior year or after graduation. It carries
no college credit.
SPAN
Augsbrrrg participates in the SPAN (Student Project for AmiQ
among Nations) program. Tnis is a joint venture of the University
of Minnesota and several colleges in the state. Qualified students
are selected to spend a summer in informal study abroad. -4ppplications are made in the spring of the sophomore year.
JUNIOR YEAR ABROAD [7
Arrangements have been made under which Augsburg College students may spend their sophomore or junior year in study a t a
number of European educational institutions. These institutions are:
The University of Oslo, Norway; Schiller College and The Goethe
Institute in Germany; and The Institute for American Universities a t Aix-en-Provence in France. Study a t other institutions
may be possible through special arrangements. Applications for
such foreign study must be approved by the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing. In addition, the student's program
of study while in Europe must be approved by his faculty adviser
prior to making application to the Committee on Admissions and
Student Standing. A year of foreign study is recommended only
for students with good scholastic records whose programs of study
can be followed satisfactorily a t the institutions chosen. Credit
earned through foreign study can usually be applied to the student's graduation requirements as electives or, occasionally, as
elements of his major sequence. Such credit ordinarily does not
satisfy the general education requirements with some exceptions
such as the study of a foreign language.
HONORS PROGRAM
For superior freshman sudents, some special accelerated sections
are available in such subjects as English and History. For superior
students of all classes, special colloquia are offered each term.
Many departments of the college offer a program through which
the student can earn honors in his major field. Students of high
ability who are interested in pursuing an honors curriculum are
invited to write to the Director of the Honors Program for infomation regarding the Honors Programs which may be open to them.
Honors students are selected on the basis of previous academic
achievement and test results.
NORTH-SOUTH STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM
In order to promote better understanding in the area of race relations and to encourage better cultural exchange between the
students of Augsburg College and colleges in the South, Augsburg
has entered into an agreement with various southern colleges
whereby an interchange of students may take place. This exchange
may take place during either the second or third, term, or both,
depending upon the schedules of the cooperating colleges.
In order to qualify for the exchange program, the Augsburg student must secure the approval of his/her parents (if he/she is a
minor), his/her major adviser, and various college officials. A
further general requirement is approval by the student exchange
board which will, among other things, require a grade point average of a t least 2.50.
Further details and application forms may be secured from the office of the Dean or the President of the Student Society.
THE PASS/NO CREDIT GRADING SYSTEM
Effective with the 196748 academic year, a Pass/No Credit
grading system is available to juniors and seniors only, applicable
to a maximum of one course per term. The provisions of the system
are as follows:
1. Juniors and Seniors only may choose to be graded on the
2.
3.

6.
basis of Pass/No Credit instead of a regular grade for a
maximum of one course in any one term.
The Pass/No Credit option may not be applied to courses
in the student's major field.
Each department of the college shall determine which,
if any, of the courses it offers may not be taken by any
student on a Pass/No Credit basis. Students will be informed by the Registrar's Office a t each registration day
of the courses which may not be taken under the system.
Although credits earned under the system will be counted
toward fulfilling the requirements for graduation, Pass/No
Credit grades will not be used in computing the student's
Grade Point Average.
The student must exercise the option of taking a course
under the Pass/No Credit grading system at the time of
his registration for the course, and may not change after
the end of the first week of the term.
Under the Pass/No Credit grading system, the grade of 'S'
shall be assigned to the student earning the equivalent of
a grade from 'A' to 'C'; the grade of 'N' to the student earning the equivalent of a grade from 'D' to 'F'.
AUGSBURG SUMMER SCHOOL
Students may earn up to ten credits of college work in a sixweek summer session from June 24 through August 2, 1968.
For 1969, tentative plans call for a similar six-week term beginning June 9, followed by a short term of three weeks set for
July 21 through August 8, during which additional five credits may
be earned.
Most courses will meet mornings, Monday through Friday. Others
will meet for longer periods two evenings a week, in order to accommodate part-time students employed during the day.
Eligible to attend Augsburg summer school are present students
and graduates of Augsburg and other accredited colleges and universities, as well as recent high school graduates whose class
standing and scores in college aptitude examinations indicate a
high probability of success in college work.
Courses to be offered during the summer sessions will be determined, in part, by demand. Most will not require prerequisites. In
addition to formal classes, provisions are being made for independent study in several areas, and for individual instruction in
voice and instrumental music.
For 1968, summer tuition for 8-10 credits is $220.00, plus a registration fee of $5.00. The latter fee will, however, be waived for
those completing registration not later than June 14. Private lessons will be charged separately.
A single board and room charge for the 1968 summer session will
be $100.00, and will provide morning and noon meals exclusive
of weekends, and a room from the evening of June 23 through the
morning of August 3.
For specific information, interested persons are asked to write:

LAW
College preparation for law school is flexible, and does not require
a specific course of study or a particular major. Students considering law as a profession are urged to study the requirements and
suggested curricula for the following majors:
American Studies, pages 50 and 108.
English, pages 68 and 114.
History, pages 34 and 116.
Political Science, pages 92 and 121.
While any of the above majors is appropriate as a pre-law curriculum, other majors are also highly acceptable. For most law
schools a broad background in the liberal arts constitutes a better
preparation than specialization and expertise in narrower fields.
While not all law schools require a baccalaureate degree as a
condition for admission, it is normally to the advantage of the
student to have completed his undergraduate degree program.
Nearly all law schools in the United States require applicants
to take a standardized Law School Admission Test, administered
several times each year a t prescribed times.
Students interested in law as a possible vocation should contact
the pre-law adivsor, chairman of the Department of Political Science.
MATHEMATICS MAJOR
The following course of study is designed for students who have a
strong background in mathematics from high school. Students who
lack this background may need to complete Mathematics 13, 14
before registering for Mathematical Analysis.

MEDICINE
Since mo'st pre-medical students at Augsburg have gone to the
Medical School of the University of Minnesota, the following is
based on its requirements for admission. Information for other
medical schools may be obtained from "Medical School Admissions Requirements," published by the Association of American
Medical Colleges, and available in the Augsburg library. It is the
responsibility of the individual student to see that he has completed
the requirements for admission to the medical schools to which he
intends to make application.
The "Minimum Requirements" for the Medical School, University
of Minnesota, as translated into courses a t Augsburg College, are
as follows:
Credits

Medical schools emphasize the word "minimum" in listing their
minimum requirements. In addition to the required and recommended courses listed, pre-medical students are encouraged to
take a t least two additional courses in biology and one course in
psychology. Some medical schools require or strongly recommend
this work. Broad studies in the liberal arts are highly desirable.
Pre-medical students normally complete a major in either biology
or chemistry. The minimum requirements for a biology major are
shown under Department of Biology; for a chemistry major under
Department of Chemistry. Students are strongly urged to consult
these departments early for advice on scheduling these majors.

the student for admission into a theological seminary course. The
following program gives the approximate pre-seminary course. It
does not specify a major or a minor. The student should seek the
counsel of the seminary adviser as early as possible since the major selected by the student may affect the choice of courses even

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

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

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

Undergraduate Admissions
Undergraduate Admissions
Augsburg College strives to create a strong, rich, and vibrant
campus community with students representing a large number of backgrounds, viewpoints, experiences, talents, and
cultures.
Selection of students for Augsburg College is based
upon careful consideration of each candidate’s academic
achievement, personal qualities and interests, participation in
activities and employment, and potential for development as
a student and as a graduate of Augsburg College.
Visit the Campus
Because firsthand appraisal of programs, facilities, and academic atmosphere is valuable, first-year and transfer applicants are encouraged to visit the campus and meet with an
admissions counselor. Arrangements may be made to meet
with a member of the faculty and to attend classes when
school is in session.
Augsburg’s undergraduate admissions staff is ready to
help students and families with college planning. Call any
weekday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.—612-330-1001

required of first-year applicants. First-year applicants who are
still high school students at the time of application should
have their most recent transcript sent, followed by a final,
official transcript upon graduation. If the student has taken
college courses, an official transcript from the institutions

Test Scores—First-year applicants are required to submit
results from a college entrance examination. The American
College Test (ACT) is preferred; results from SAT are also
accepted. Test scores recorded on the official high school
transcript are sufficient. Augsburg strongly recommends
completing the writing portion of either the ACT or SAT.
Recommendations—Two letters of academic recommendation are required. If the applicant has been out of school
for several years, a letter may be submitted by a supervisor,
employer, pastor, or co-worker.
Additional Information—If there is personal information that
may have affected the applicant’s previous academic performance, it may be included with the application or discussed

decision on a candidate’s admission until other information
has been received. For example, more recent test scores,
results of the present semester’s coursework, additional letters of recommendation, or writing samples may be requested
by the committee. If any additional credentials are needed,
the Office of Undergraduate Admissions will inform the
candidate.
Notification of Admissions Decision—Augsburg College uses a

Rochester students who have interrupted attendance at
Augsburg College for three trimesters or more, must apply
for re-admission through the registrar’s office to resume
attendance. Students who have attended other institutions
during their absence from Augsburg must have an official
transcript sent from each institution to the Office of the
Registrar. Returning students do not pay the application fee.
Special Students (Non-Degree)
In some circumstances, people may be admitted as special
students (non-degree) and granted the privilege of enrolling
in courses for credit. Students may request a change in their
degree status by submitting a petition to the registrar’s office.
Students regularly enrolled at another college may take
coursework at Augsburg College as a special student (nondegree). An application form for special-student status is
available from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. To
apply for admission as a special student, submit the completed admission application and academic transcripts to the
Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
Students who have graduated from Augsburg who are
returning to complete a second major will not be awarded
a second degree unless it is a different degree from the first
awarded. Minors are not noted on the transcript if they are
completed after a baccalaureate degree has been awarded.

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

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

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

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

Federal Stafford Student Loan—Subsidized Stafford Loans are
need-based loans that the federal government subsidizes by
paying the interest while the student is in school and during
the grace period.
For the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, interest begins
accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower is
responsible for all interest. The borrower may choose to
make payments while in school or may defer payments and
allow interest to accrue and be capitalized (added to the balance of the loan).
The interest rate for new borrowers through the
Subsidized Stafford Loan and the Unsubsidized Stafford
Loan, as of July 1, 2009, is a fixed rate of 5.6% and 6.8%,
respectively.
The following borrowing limits apply to the Stafford
Loan program after July 1, 2009:
• First-years: $5,500 annually (Combined Subsidized and
Unsubsidized Stafford)

a fixed rate of 7.9% and a minimum payment of $50 per
month.
Further information about all student and parent loan
programs can be found online at the Financial Aid website.
Student Employment
Augsburg College provides work opportunities for students.
Assignment is based on financial eligibility and potential
competence in performing the duties assigned. Part-time
work provided by the College is considered financial aid, just
like scholarships, loans, and grants. A maximum of 15 hours
of on-campus employment per week is recommended.
All on-campus work is governed by policies stipulated
in the work contract issued to the student employee for each
placement. Payment is made monthly by check to the student
employee.
Federal College Work Study Program and Minnesota State Work
Study Program—Under these programs the federal or state
government supplies funds on a matching basis with the
College to provide part-time work opportunities.
Student Life
Student Life
Student Life
Augsburg’s mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense. Experiences in the classroom are an important part
of college life, but learning and development also occur in
formal and informal activities of the College and the metropolitan area. Whether students are residents or commuters, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add
dimension to their education.
Campus Ministry
As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual
as well as academic and social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth is evident in the opportunities we encourage and
provide for students to explore their own faith.
Because our campus is comprised of individuals from
many different religious and cultural backgrounds, our worship life is characterized by a similar diversity and richness
of tradition. Bible studies, growth groups, outreach teams
and community outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and
justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are examples of the
wide variety of activities on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel
worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day
to give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number
of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students
gather for Holy Communion. Weekend College Chapel is
held each Saturday morning when classes meet. On Sundays,
Trinity Lutheran worship services are held on campus, with
many other churches within walking distance.
We seek to develop a free and open environment where
people are encouraged to use and discover the gifts and sense
of call and vocation that God has given them. As a college
of the church, we encourage students to form values guided
by our Christian heritage, which will be the basis for the
kind and quality of life that reaches beyond their years at
Augsburg.
The college pastor, associate college pastor, and campus
ministry staff have offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center
for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available
for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or information.
Vocation
Augsburg College has a deep and long-standing commitment to the theological concept of vocation—the idea that all
people can use their individual gifts to serve God’s purposes
in the world and that each person’s contribution is uniquely
valuable.
In the spring of 2002, with the generous support of
the Lilly Endowment, Augsburg created a program called
Exploring Our Gifts that was designed to help students,
staff, and faculty explore the connections between faith,
learning, service, and work. Over the years, the program has

helped embed vocational themes into the curriculum and
has sponsored a wide variety of short-term projects that offer
rich opportunities for reflection on how to live with purpose
and meaning. These ongoing projects include internships at
nonprofit organizations, off-campus service projects, international seminars, vocation-themed chapel presentations, interfaith forums, vocation retreats, and scholarships for students
interested in exploring service to the community, ministry, or
church leadership.
Because Exploring Our Gifts will end in the summer
2010, the College recently created a permanent center—the
Augsburg Center for Faith and Learning—that will keep
vocation at the core of Augsburg’s vision well into the future.
This new center will continue many of the current initiatives
and will carry on the work of promoting discovery of gifts
and discernment of calling among the students, faculty, and
staff at Augsburg as well as members of the larger community.

on student academic progress. Academic Advising functions
as a supplement to the faculty advising system at Augsburg
College, and is located in the Enrollment Center.
All current students are assigned to a faculty adviser.
Prior to the end of their sophomore year, when they have
completed 12 or more credits, students are required to
declare their major and select a faculty adviser. Majors and
minors are declared online through Augnet Records and
Registration. Students select a faculty adviser from their
major area of study using the declaration form. All Day students are required to meet with their assigned faculty adviser
each term prior to registration. Both Day and weekend
college students are encouraged to meet with their faculty
adviser as often as is necessary.
Center for Learning and Adaptive Student Services (CLASS)—The
Center for Learning and Adaptive Student Services (CLASS)
provides individualized accommodations and academic
support for students with documented learning, attentional,
psychiatric, and other cognitive disabilities. CLASS has been
recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain
full access to the College curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and
challenging, yet supportive, liberal arts education to students
with diverse backgrounds, preparations, and experiences.
Each term disability specialists work directly with
students to discuss their disabilities and determine a plan
for academic access. Typically, meetings are held weekly and
discussions may include:
• Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g.,
extended time, note-taking)
• Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, general
technology assistance, academic advising, counseling,
financial aid)
• Training and use of assistive technology through the
Groves Computer Laboratory
28
I Augsburg College 2010-2011
• Assistance with academic, organizational, and time management skills
CLASS specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisers, and other members of the College faculty,
staff, or administration to support each student as they work
toward success. Taking advantage of those opportunities,
however, remains the student’s responsibility.
These services are available to any Augsburg student
who establishes eligibility by submitting appropriate documentation to the CLASS office. A copy of the Guidelines for
Documentation of a Disability can be obtained by contacting
the CLASS Office. CLASS also provides informal screenings
for students who suspect they may have a learning-related
disability. These screenings are meant only to help students
determine whether they should seek a thorough evaluation
by a qualified professional.
These services are made possible in part through endowment support provided by the Gage family and the Groves
Foundation.
Academic Skills Office (ASO)—
The Academic Skills Office provides comprehensive academic
support (e.g. time management, note-taking, reading, testing, motivation/procrastination) for all Augsburg students
through individual and group appointments. In addition, the
academic skills coaches address affective needs and aid in
the transition to college life. Coaches also refer students to
campus resources.
The Academic Skills Office coordinates several programs
to support students:
• Tutoring/Supplemental Instruction Services: ASO coordinates free tutoring for most classes and supplemental
instruction in specific courses.
• Conditional Admit Program (CAP): A limited number
of students are admitted conditionally through the CAP
program. Students must fulfill CAP requirements or they
will be continued in the CAP program or dismissed. See
the “Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal” section
of the catalog for a description of dismissal procedures.
• Probation Advising: Students placed or continued on
probation are required to meet with an approved academic
advocate. Registration is prevented until the student
completes the probation requirements as specified by their
academic advocate. Students who do not meet with their
academic advocate and/or do not fulfill the probation
requirements will be continued on probation or dismissed.
See the “Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal”
section of the catalog for a description of dismissal procedures.
• Augsburg Advantage at St. Kates (AASK): The Augsburg

Student Life
Residence Life Program
Students who choose to make Augsburg their home find a
friendly, 23-acre village in the midst of a major metropolitan
area. They make many new friends among roommates and
classmates. They are just steps away from Lindell Library,
classrooms, Hoversten Chapel, the ice arena, fitness center,
and Christensen Center. With just over 1,000 students living
on campus, most students and faculty greet each other by
name.
Augsburg recognizes the importance of the residential
experience during the college years. Studies show that students who live on campus are more likely to persist academically, to be involved on campus, and tend to have a slightly
higher grade point average. Department of Residence Life
staff are professional and student team members available to
support students in their academic and co-curricular experiences. Through their efforts residential community members
become acquainted with life at Augsburg through educational
and social opportunities.
Living on campus offers many opportunities for learning, leadership, and fun. Numerous events are planned to
welcome students to the community, including dances, movie
nights, open mic nights, and weeks devoted to special themes
or issues.
Resident students have access to a 24-hour computer
lounge, wireless internet, study lounges, 24-hour security,
laundry facilities, and vending. All rooms and apartments are
equipped with hook-ups for telephone, cable television, computers, and internet access. A skyway connecting the lobby of
Urness Hall and Mortensen Hall to Christensen Center and
Oren Gateway Center to the Lindell Library keeps students
out of the weather on the way to class.
To secure housing on campus, students need to submit
the following items by May 1:

Student Life
College Policies
Student Standards of Behavior, Complaints, Records
The College has adopted a statement of standards for student
behavior and has provided for due process in matters of academic honesty, disciplinary action, and grievances. These are
in the Student Guide.
The College operates in compliance with the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Students have the right
to inspect certain official records, files, and data that pertain
to them and that are maintained in the registrar’s office and
the placement office, and to challenge inaccurate or misleading information.
Information on these policies is found in the Student
Guide available on the website at www.augsburg.edu/
studentguide.
Official Notices
Students will receive official notices via the student campus
mail system (student campus box), the A-Mail publication,
and the student’s Augsburg e-mail account. Students should
check their campus mailbox and their student e-mail account
regularly. The A-Mail is a daily online publication on Inside
Augsburg.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of
1974, as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg is required
to give notice of the various rights accorded to students pursuant to FERPA. A copy of Augsburg’s policy is published in
this catalog on page 62 and in the Student Guide distributed
annually to students.
Augsburg College understands that no information other
than “directory information” can be released without the
written permission of the student, except in limited circumstances. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the
official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg.
This means that faculty or others cannot write letters of
support/recommendation or nominate students for awards
unless explicit written permission is given by the student to
release non-“directory information.” It is not sufficient to ask
for letters of recommendation.
Complete information about Augsburg’s procedures with
regard to FERPA are available from the Office of the Registrar.

Academic Information
Academic Information
Academic Information
Augsburg College constructs its curriculum upon the premise that students must be educated intellectually, spiritually,
and physically. To act effectively, human beings must have a
broad grasp of the world from which they have come as well
as the world in which they live. By providing courses in the
humanities, fine arts, natural sciences, and social sciences,
the general education curriculum introduces students to the
breadth and complexity of knowledge and culture.
Required Search for Meaning courses are designed to
acquaint students with the Christian tradition, introduce
them to other faith traditions, and encourage them to
reflect upon the importance and meaning of spirituality in
their lives. Recreation courses offer students opportunities
to develop skills for participation in exercise and sporting
activities.
Students choose from more than 50 major 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 curricular 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.
Degrees Offered
Augsburg offers the bachelor of arts, the bachelor of music,
and the bachelor of science degrees. Augsburg also offers the
master of arts (in leadership, nursing, and education), the
master of business administration, the master of science (in
physician assistant studies), the master of social work, and
the doctor of nursing practice degrees.
Academic Calendar
The Augsburg day program follows the semester calendar,
with fall and spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks.
Full-time students normally take four course credits each
semester.
The day program calendar is coordinated with those of
the four other colleges of the Associated Colleges of the Twin
Cities, so students can take a course on another campus during the regular term.**
Weekend College classes typically meet on alternate
weekends and the program follows a trimester calendar.
Some classes may meet on weekday evenings. The fall trimester is held from early September through mid-December.
Winter trimester meets from January through early April.
Spring classes are held from mid-April through the end of
June. There are 7-8 class sessions each trimester, and classes
meet on weekends for 3.5 to 4 hours. (Refer to the program
schedule for weekday evening meeting times.) Students may
take from one to four classes each term.**
The Rochester campus operates on a trimester calendar.
Classes are held on weekday evenings and meet alternate
36
I Augsburg College 2010-2011
weeks. Similar to Weekend College, Rochester’s fall trimester
begins in September, winter trimester begins in January, and
spring trimester begins in April. There are 7-8 class sessions
each trimester with each class meeting for 3-1/2 to 4 hours.
Students may take one to four classes each term.**
**See Registration on page 48 and Calendars on page 6
Courses and majors offered through Weekend College
and the Rochester campus are the same as their Day College
counterparts. However, the curriculum is limited to selected
liberal arts courses and majors.
Augsburg offers two summer school sessions, plus two
summer online options. Select graduate-level courses may be
made available in a separate summer term. The summer session schedule is available in March of each year.
Augsburg graduate programs follow a trimester calendar, except for physician assistant studies. (See Graduate
Programs on page 47.)
Faculty
The heart of any educational institution is its faculty.
Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and
commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a doctorate
or the highest degree in their field, and all consider teaching
to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are also involved in
a variety of professional and research activities that support
their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting
faculty development program that introduces them to current
thought in many fields, but especially in teaching techniques
and theories.
Augsburg’s size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students.
Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in
campus activities. Every first-year is assigned an Augsburg
Seminar adviser and, later, chooses a major adviser. In this
close interaction, faculty act as both mentors and models for
students.
Library and Information Technology
Services
The James G. Lindell Family Library opened in 1997. The
four-level, 73,000-square-foot facility houses all library and
information technology functions of the College. In addition
to the 190,000 volume main collection, the Lindell Library
includes special collections and archives, curriculum library,
a computer lab and student computing help desk, library
instruction classroom, and facilities for media viewing and
listening. Skyways link the library to Oren Gateway Center
and Sverdrup Hall.
Learning Commons
Within Lindell Library, a Learning Commons provides

assistance in research and the use of technology as well as
spaces for collaborative learning. In the Learning Commons
multimedia lab, students can create digital audio and visual
projects.
Professional Studies—Business administration, education,
health and physical education, nursing, social work.
Library Resources
Majors and Minors
Students can search a wide variety of local, regional, national,
and international databases. They have access to 190,000 volumes within Lindell Library and, through a daily courier service, to the library holdings of the seven private liberal arts
colleges in the Twin Cities. Lindell Library has a large collection of media resources. A service-oriented staff provides
students and faculty with research assistance and instruction
in the use of information resources. Arrangements are made
for access by students with physical limitation and special
needs.
Information Technology Resources
Augsburg College has built a reputation as a leader in its
commitment to provide students with the best access to
information technology and training. Visit the Student
Technology website, www.augsburg.edu/techdesk, for more
on Information Technology at Augsburg.
Computing
Students have access to more than 250 on-campus computers. There are both PC and Macintosh desktop computers
available in the Lindell Library Learning Commons and
computer lab and in the 24-hour Urness computer lab. The
College has six computer classrooms and 41 technologyenhanced classrooms. The circulation desk in the Lindell
Library has 40 wireless laptops available for use in the
Library.
Several computer clusters are available for more specific
student use within academic departments. A high-speed
fiber optic campus network provides access to AugNet
online services, printing, and to the Internet and Internet2.
Network-ready student machines can connect to the campus
network from dormitory rooms or any building on campus
using WiFi. All of the AugNet online services and several of
the registrar’s student services are available securely on and
off-campus.
Academic Organization and Programs
Divisions and Departments
The College curriculum is offered by 26 departments that are
grouped into three divisions for administrative and instructional purposes.
Fine Arts and Humanities—American Indian studies, art, communication studies, English, history, languages and crosscultural studies, music, philosophy, religion, theatre arts,
College librarians.
Natural and Social Sciences—Biology, chemistry, computer
Majors, or concentrations of study, may be within one department, within one division, or may cross academic disciplines.
Some students decide on a major or majors before they
enter college. Others explore a variety of disciplines before
deciding.
A major at Augsburg shall require no more than 13.0
credits from any one academic department. The Academic
Affairs Committee may amend this credit maximum in
support of industry or professional accreditation standards.
Students may complete non-required electives within the
department beyond the 13.0 credit limit.
The College requires students to declare a major by the
end of the sophomore year, and earlier in some disciplines.
Details of majors and minors are in the course description
section. Unless otherwise indicated, majors are part of the
bachelor of arts degree.
Students are not required to complete a minor for graduation; however, minors completed prior to graduation will be
listed on the transcript. Minors are not noted on the transcript if they are completed after a bachelor’s degree has been
awarded.
Student-Designed Major
Students may design their own major with the assistance and
approval of three advisers from relevant fields and subsequent final approval by the Augsburg College Academic
Affairs Committee (AAC). A student-designed major allows
flexibility in selecting major courses. Any student wishing
to design a major must complete a proposal, submit it with
approval and supporting letters from three faculty advisers,
and obtain AAC approval of the program. Students should
seek AAC approval as early as possible so that any changes
suggested by AAC may be incorporated into the design without affecting the student’s proposed completion date. The
deadline for initial submission of the program design to AAC
is the first term in which the student has achieved junior
status; the final version must be approved the term before the
student achieves senior status.
Students wishing to design majors must:
1. Develop the student-designed major in concert with three
faculty advisers from relevant fields, who together constitute
the Review Team. All advisers must sign the proposal cover
sheet and submit supporting letters of approval to AAC.
Supporting letters should assess both the student’s ability to
complete the proposed major and the validity and value of
the proposed major, including (in at least one of the letters)
the proposed capstone course. The advisers’ signatures and
supporting letters represent their approval of the program,
including the capstone course, and their commitment to
Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 37
Academic Information
oversee the student’s progress.
2. Develop a student-designed major program proposal that
includes:
a. A statement of learning goals and objectives.
b. A list of proposed courses (minimum of nine, no more
than one of which is a lower-level language course and at
least five of which are upper division) and a discussion of
how the courses are related to the program goals. Indicate
how the proposed courses collectively support a specialized
and cohesive plan usually associated with a college major.
Proposals must include research describing comparable
programs of study at a minimum of three other academic
institutions. In addition, students should consult with the
Strommen Career and Internship Center for additional
information regarding career objectives. The proposal should
provide information showing how the Augsburg Core
Curriculum requirements (including graduation skills) are to
be fulfilled.
c. A description of the student-designed major capstone to be
taken sometime during the senior year. The student should
devise the capstone in consultation with advisers. It should
require an integrative project/paper that draws together the
coursework up to that point and/or prepares one for further
study. In addition, at least one of the advisers must specifically address the rationale for the proposed capstone in his
or her supporting letter, though approval of the studentdesigned major program by all advisers presumes their
approval of the capstone course.
3. Submit the completed proposal and supporting documentation to the dean’s office.
If AAC approves the proposed major program, the student will be expected to complete the program designed and
still meet all of the other Augsburg degree requirements as
stated in the college catalog.
Students who design their own majors will meet with
their advisers regularly throughout the design and subsequent evaluation of their program. Changes in the approved
student-designed major may be made through the normal
petition process to the Student Standing Committee with
adviser approval.
ACTC Majors—It is possible for full-time day students to
complete other majors through the Associated Colleges of the
Twin Cities (ACTC). Students who wish to complete a major
or minor offered at one of the other ACTC colleges must submit a completed ACTC Major or Minor Declaration Form to
the Augsburg registrar’s office. This form must list all ACTC
courses required and be signed by the ACTC school adviser.
Some majors may not be available or may have a competitive
application process with acceptance determined by the major
department.
Weekend College is not part of the ACTC consortium,
and weekend students may not register for ACTC courses
or complete ACTC majors under the terms of the ACTC
consortium agreements.

Other Study Programs
Teaching Licensure
Several teaching licensure programs are offered at Augsburg.
Licensure is available in kindergarten-elementary or K-6
license. A middle school endorsement is available in one of
the following: mathematics, science, communication arts/
literature, social studies. A preprimary endorsement (3- to
5-year-olds) is also available. Licensure is also available in
the following middle school/high school fields: life sciences,
chemistry, communication arts/literature, health, mathematics, physics, and social studies. This license prepares people
to teach in grades 5-12. Students seeking licensure in one
of these areas obtain an appropriate subject area major and
complete secondary licensure coursework. Specialist licenses
are available in art (K-12), vocal music and instrumental
music (K-12), and physical education (K-12). The licenses
prepare people to teach in grades K-12. Students seeking
licensure in one of these areas also obtain the appropriate
subject area major and complete the secondary licensure
coursework. (See Department of Education on page 117 and
subject area departments for more information.)
K-12 special education majors and licenses in
Emotional/Behavioral Disabilities and in Learning Disabilities
are also available. These majors and licenses are offered only
through Weekend College.
Students seeking elementary licensure and special
education licensure have education department advisers.
Students seeking 5-12 and K-12 licensure have advisers in
their subject area major and in the education department. It
is very important that students work closely with their advisers throughout their programs.
Certificate Programs
Augsburg offers undergraduate certificates through the
departments of Art and Business Administration (see departments and programs section on page 64). Certificates are
available to non-degree seeking students or students who are
completing a degree from a different academic department.
A student may declare degree seeking status after earning a
certificate.
Pre-Professional Programs
Students who plan to enter the fields of law, medicine, dentistry, ministry, veterinary science, pharmacy, or engineering
can profit from a liberal arts education at Augsburg.
It is recommended that requirements for admission to
graduate schools or seminaries be reviewed and the course
of study at Augsburg planned accordingly. A faculty adviser
is available in each field to assist students in their planning.
Students who want to plan a pre-professional program should
contact Academic Advising prior to or early in their first year
to arrange for faculty advising.
Pre-Dentistry—These courses are recommended to fulfill the
minimum requirements of the School of Dentistry at the

163; PHY 121, 122; PSY 105. Requirements at other universities may vary.
Pre-Engineering—See engineering degree and major requirements on page 126.
Pre-Law—Students considering a career in law should examine the handbook published by the Association of American
Law Schools. Students may wish to take law-related courses
to help determine their interest in law. Pre-law students
should major in a discipline of their own choosing; most law
school entrance requirements will be satisfied with a record
of solid achievement coupled with an acceptable LSAT score.
Pre-Medicine—A major in chemistry and biology is not
required in order to apply to medical schools, but many
students with an interest in the health sciences choose to
major in these fields. The competitive candidate typically
has substantially more training than the minimal course
requirements. Students should review requirements and
recommended courses of each program being considered
for application and consult early and frequently with a prehealth science adviser. Coursework that is required by most
medical schools includes: one to two semesters of English
composition such as ENL 111, 220; CHM 115, 116 (or 105,
106); CHM 351, 352; BIO 151, 152, 253, 369; MAT 145, 146,
163; PHY 121, 122. Courses recommended in preparation for

universities may vary.
Honors Program
The Augsburg Honors Program offers an adventurous education where students with a passion for ideas can be their best.
We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students
committed to an exceptional higher education.
Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike any other honors
program in the nation because it gives students the resources
and freedom to build their own ideal higher education.
Students have the opportunity to create their own courses,
edit and write for the Augsburg Review of Undergraduate
Scholarship, participate in an intramural debate league,
belong to an Honors House, and learn through small reading
groups, research projects, and travel around the world.
Each Honors course has been specifically created for
Honors students, and includes a challenging “signature experience” such as writing a play, putting great books on trial,
or attending music, theatre, and art performances. Honors
courses bring in professors from several different departments so you can learn from talented professors teaching
their specialties.
For information, contact Robert C. Groven, Honors
Program director, at honors@augsburg.edu. Also see the
Honors Program in the departments and programs section on
page 148.
Pre-Occupational Therapy, Pre-Physician Assistant, and PrePhysical Therapy—Coursework in preparation for these
programs should be discussed with a faculty member in the
Department of Biology.

Academic Information
Inter-Institutional Programs
Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in
the Twin Cities area on several programs.
Cooperating Libraries in Consortium (CLIC)—Through CLIC, the
Twin Cities private colleges library consortium, the Augsburg
community has direct access to over 2,500,000 volumes and
media resources.
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC)—Full-time day
students at Augsburg and the St. Paul colleges and universities of Hamline, Macalester, St. Catherine, and St. Thomas
may elect to take one course each semester (fall and spring)
at one of the other campuses. No additional fee is required
for such an exchange, except for private instruction in music
or approved independent studies. Exchange courses are not
transfer courses, and thus courses taken through ACTC are
considered Augsburg College courses and do not impact the
residency requirement. The permanent record of courses for
which a student has cross-registered is kept in the Office of
the Registrar at Augsburg College, not the host ACTC institution. 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. A regularly scheduled
bus shuttles students between the campuses.
Weekend College is not part of the ACTC consortium,
and weekend students may not register for ACTC courses or
complete ACTC majors under the terms of the ACTC consortium agreements.
Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA)—
Augsburg, in cooperation with 17 other colleges and universities, offers off-campus study semesters in Norway, Northern
Ireland, Latin America, and the Twin Cities. (See HECUA
programs on page 163.)
McNally Smith College of Music—Augsburg College fulltime students may elect to take one course each semester at
McNally Smith College of Music providing that they meet all
McNally Smith College of Music requirements. This program
is open to sophomores through seniors. There is no additional fee for this program. Students should consult with their
advisor to confirm if the classes will count toward graduation
requirements. In no instance may a McNally Smith course be
used as a substitute for any Augsburg course specifically listed
within a degree program.
Exchange courses are not transfer courses. Courses taken
through the Augsburg–McNally Smith exchange are considered Augsburg College courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses which
a student has registered for through the exchange is kept in
the Office of the Registrar at Augsburg College, not McNally
Smith.
Air Force ROTC—Augsburg day students may participate in
the Air Force ROTC program at the University of St. Thomas
under the ACTC consortium agreement. Students are eligible
42
I Augsburg College 2010-2011
to compete for two- and three-year AFROTC scholarships.
ROTC credits serve as electives at Augsburg. For more
information, contact the Office of the Registrar, or call the
University of St. Thomas at 651-962-6320 or 1-800-328-6819,
x6320.
Army ROTC—Augsburg day students may participate in the
Army ROTC program at the University of Minnesota under an
agreement between Augsburg, the University of Minnesota,
and the program. ROTC credits serve as electives at Augsburg.
For more information, contact the Office of the Registrar.
Augsburg Abroad
Augsburg Abroad is the front door for students and faculty
interested in study abroad. Services include:
• Study abroad program selection advising
• Financial and academic advising for study abroad
• Registration and billing for study abroad
• Pre-departure and re-entry support (application, orientation, etc.)
• Faculty-led, short-term program coordination
About half of Augsburg undergraduate students are studying
abroad. Graduate students also find short-term programs as
part of their curriculum. Students abroad will find themselves
in a variety of locales and studying a variety of disciplines:

Academic Requirements and Credit
Students fulfill the Augsburg Experience requirement on
approved programs. Courses taken abroad can also fulfill
graduation requirements including major, minor, language,
liberal arts foundation, lifetime activity, and internship
requirements. This is determined prior to departure when
students fill out the required Credit Agreement form that is
signed by academic advisers and appropriate staff and faculty
approving courses.
Students should be aware of the following policies related
to study abroad:
• Students can study abroad more than once.
• Students can study abroad at any point in their academic
career.
Semester and Summer Programs
• Courses taken on off-campus programs during the senior
year will meet the Augsburg residency requirement.
• You must take a full load of credits while abroad on semester programs.
• You must take courses A-F while abroad.
• Grades received on affiliated and non-Augsburg programs
are reported as transfer credit on your transcript, and thus
are not figured into your GPA.
Academic Information
• A “C” equivalent or higher must be received for the credit
to transfer to Augsburg.
Faculty-led Short-term Programs
• Students must register for all courses required by the shortterm program. Credit values may vary, so confirm the specific program credit load with the Augsburg Abroad Office.
Any courses removed by the student without Augsburg
Abroad permission prior to the start of the program will be
re-added to the student’s schedule. If no work was completed in these reinstated courses, a grade of zero will be
awarded.
• Overload Fee Exemption for faculty-led January and Spring
Weekend College (WEC) programs: January and spring
WEC faculty-led programs are placed within the spring
semester. However, full-time Day students will not be
billed an overload fee if an additional 4.0 or 4.5 credits are
taken in the regular spring term. A student taking minimal
credits in the spring can use the January or Spring WEC
faculty-led short-term program as a spring term course in
order to be considered part-time or full-time.
• Crossover Policy Exemption: The crossover policy does
not apply to study abroad students. WEC students who
do a study abroad program placed in the Day program do
not count that as their crossover course. The same policy
exemption is valid for Day students doing a study abroad
program scheduled in a WEC term.
Eligibility and Application
The following are Augsburg College’s requirements for study
abroad:
• Minimum 2.5 GPA at the time of application. Individual
programs may require a higher average. Students with
lower averages should consult with Augsburg Abroad.
• Be a sophomore, junior, or senior standing by the time you
study abroad. Short-term, faculty-led programs will allow
participation as a first-year if the student receives approval
from the faculty-leader.
• Transfer students must complete one semester at Augsburg
before they may study off campus.
• Not be on academic or disciplinary probation. Students
placed on academic or disciplinary probation after admittance to study abroad may be withdrawn from the program.
The student is responsible for all non-recoverable program
costs incurred.
• Not have an outstanding balance on your student account.
• Be aware that students applying to faculty-led programs,
who meet the above criteria, are accepted on a rolling basis;
space is limited on these programs so applying early is
important.
Application deadlines for semester programs are:
October 1: Spring semester study abroad and January
faculty-led programs
February 1: Spring WEC term and Summer Session
faculty-led programs
March 1: Fall semester and non-faculty led summer study
abroad programs
Program provider deadlines vary; students need to meet all
deadlines and eligibility requirements set by program providers. Students should start planning in their first year for study
abroad to be sure to do appropriate research and meet all
deadlines.
Students are accepted to study on faculty-led programs
on a first applied, first accepted basis.
ACCESS/CLASS Abroad
Students should be prepared for the fact that disability may
be culturally defined. Attitudes toward disability and levels
of accessibility can vary greatly from country to country.
The Americans with Disabilities Act mandates equal access
to university-sponsored programs and services to students
with disabilities. However, providing access by US standards
can present unique challenges in international settings. The
expectation on the part of US students and institutions is that
reasonable accommodations will be made. Depending on the
country and culture, there may be different ways to define
accessibility and different expectations in terms of accommodations that can or should be made. Students are encouraged
work closely with Augsburg Abroad/CLASS/ACCESS.
Students are responsible for requesting accommodations
abroad within a reasonable time frame prior to departure, ideally as early as program selection. Augsburg Abroad will work
closely with the student, CLASS, and /or ACCESS offices to
determine needs and make appropriate and possible accommodations abroad.
Costs and Financial Aid
The cost of study abroad is comprised of program fees that
generally include tuition, housing, international health insurance, some meals, excursions, and study abroad fees. These
costs vary from program to program. Augsburg College pays
the program provider on the student’s behalf and then bills
the Augsburg student account. This allows students to access
their financial aid for study abroad. Students will always pay a
minimum of Augsburg tuition when studying abroad.
Students who receive financial aid, scholarships, and/
or grants to study at Augsburg can use that entire package
to cover their study abroad program costs. Students receiving Augsburg institutionally-funded aid (e.g., Presidential,
Regents, Legacy, Promise and other Augsburg scholarships,
and tuition remission benefit) may use their scholarships
to study abroad multiple times on Augsburg Programs (see
below in Study Abroad Program section). However, institutionally-funded aid may be used only once toward study
abroad costs on an affiliate or non-Augsburg program. Cost
estimates for the time abroad are drawn up to assist the student in planning and the financial aid office in awarding aid to
students studying abroad.
Students are required to notify Augsburg Abroad immediately if they choose not to continue with their study abroad
experience. At the moment of notification non-recoverable
Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 43
Academic Information
costs will be assessed and charged to the student account.
Depending on the time of notification of withdrawal students
may owe nothing, the study abroad fee, the deposit, or some,
or all, of the program fee. Students are also subject to the cancellation and refund policies of their program provider.
Study Abroad Programs
Students have over 200 programs in over 90 countries from
which to choose. In addition to the below Augsburg College
programs, students can choose from affiliated program providers. These programs have been reviewed to meet the Augsburg
experience requirement, diverse needs of students, and provide quality student service. The programs are reviewed each
year.
If students cannot find a program that meets their needs
from the Augsburg College or Augsburg-affiliated options
then they can apply to do a non-Augsburg program. Students
with a strong academic or financial reason, faculty support
(as shown on the Credit Agreement form), and who choose a
good quality program, may be approved.
The Center for Global Education
The mission of the Center for Global Education at Augsburg
College is to provide cross-cultural educational opportunities
in order to foster critical analysis of local and global conditions so that personal and systemic change takes place leading
to a more just and sustainable world.
The center’s study programs are conducted in Central
America, Mexico, and Namibia. Students experience three
distinct types of living situations: living with other students
in a community house, spending several days in a rural
setting, and several weeks living with host families. In the
Mexico and Namibia programs, students travel together on
two-week seminars — from Mexico to Central America, and
from Namibia to South Africa. The cost of these programs is
equivalent to full tuition, room, and board for one semester
on campus, plus airfare. (Some travel scholarships are available for Augsburg students.)

globalization, and decolonizing the mind, from the perspectives of the new democracies of southern Africa. Namibia won
its independence in 1990 after decades of apartheid under
South African colonization. South Africa had its first democratic election in 1994. As these nations struggle to build
nationhood and deal with the legacies of apartheid and colonialism, they are faced with the challenges posed by today’s

language courses.
Divided States of Europe—Spring
Ten former communist nation-states have recently joined the
European Union. From three different locations – Norway,
Romania, and Hungary – students examine the complex
dynamics of European integration via issues such as labor
migration, minority politics, right-wing populism, prostitution, and human trafficking. Together, Hungary and Romania
encompass some of Europe’s most pressing social justice
issues and constitute its primary geographic and cultural
bridge between East and West.
Community Internships in Latin America: Ecuador—Fall and Spring
This interdisciplinary program, based in Quito, Ecuador,

teach abroad will also do part of their student teaching under
direct Augsburg faculty supervision. For additional information, contact the Department of Education student teacher
director.
May/Summer Abroad
May and summer courses to many parts of the world enable
students to earn credit through short-term travel. Contact
Augsburg Abroad for the most current list of programs.
Clair and Gladys Strommen Career and
Internship Center
The Strommen Career and Internship Center is a comprehensive resource center emphasizing the importance and value
for all students to engage in internships, career development
and the exploration of vocation throughout their college
years. The integration of “knowing and doing” adds breadth
and depth to the curriculum and assists students in making
more informed academic and career decisions. The underlying assumption is that a liberal arts education is an effective
preparation for life, meaningful work, and active citizenship.
Career Services
Career Services provides opportunities, programs, and career
counseling to help students discover their unique gifts, talents, skills, and interests, explore career paths, and grapple
with questions of vocation and purpose in a changing world.
This process is viewed as an important part of a student’s
Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 45
Academic Information
development while attending college. To aid in this process,
professional career staff provide career assessments and individualized career planning and coaching. Staff assist students
with choosing majors, locating internships, preparing for
internship and job searches, graduate school applications,
and making connections to community, business, and alumni
resources.
Internships
Academic Credit
An internship for credit is a carefully planned, work- or
service-based learning experience where a student focuses
on specific learning objectives that connect concepts of the
major to the experience. An academic internship is approved,
supervised, and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the student wishes to earn the internship
credit. A learning agreement plan, negotiated with the faculty
supervisor and work supervisor, outlines the academic related
objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods for receiving
credit. Students often do internships in nonprofits, small and
large businesses, government agencies, museums, schools,
and churches.
Internships for credit are available in all majors and can
be taken during a semester, Weekend College trimester or
summer sessions. Inter-disciplinary (INS) internships are also
available. For extension of an internship beyond one term
see Evaluation and Grading on page 58. Internships can be
registered for 1 course credit or .5 credit. One course credit
involves a minimum time commitment of, on average, 10
hours per week or 140 total hours. Internships for .5 credit
require a minimum of 80 total hours. A maximum of four
courses of internship may count toward the total courses
required for the degree.
Internships completed off-campus for credit will
automatically fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation
requirement.
Non-Credit and Transcript Notation
Non-credit internships related to a student’s major or career
interests can be registered for a zero-credit transcript notation.
The goal is for students to apply theory to practice in a work
setting and reflect on the experience. Work opportunities
typically are part-time during the academic year and/or full
time during summer and can begin and end anytime. Students
must set learning goals and evaluate their experience. The
director of the Strommen Career and Internship Center supervises non-credit internships and transcript notation work
experiences. Internships not for credit and transcript notations may be used to fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement.

Sabo Center for Citizenship and Learning
Service-Learning and Community Engagement/
Community Service-Learning
Augsburg’s Community Service-learning Program provides
students with opportunities to understand and respond to
needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences and civic engagement activities. A key component of
community-service-learning is reflection on and analysis of
community issues in order to promote personal and educational growth and civic responsibility. By connecting classroom content with service-learning experiences in the City,
Augsburg students deepen their understanding of abstract
course concepts while learning about pertinent and related
community issues. This dynamic and interactive educational
approach employs reciprocal learning between students and
their community. Service-learning components are embedded
in most academic disciplines.
Examples of community service-learning sites include:
homeless shelters, cultural and environmental organizations,
tutoring programs and literacy centers.
Campus Kitchen Project and Community Garden
The Campus Kitchen Project connects the campus community with the larger community by using food as a tool
to nourish bodies, develop leadership, and educate students
through service-learning. To accomplish these goals, three
separate programs exist:
1) FOOD TO SHARE—Surplus food from the Augsburg Dining
Service is donated, reheated and served by student volunteers
to neighborhood partners including: homeless shelters, youth
and senior programs, and others.
2) FOOD TO GROW—On the corner of campus, Augsburg staff
and students manage a community garden composed of 70
individual plots where community and campus members can
grow their own food. The garden staff also hosts classes on
healthy living in which neighborhood youth learn to grow
and cook healthy food.
3) FOOD TO BUY—A farmer’s market and CSA delivery is
available weekly at Augsburg College and the Brian Coyle
Community Center in order to increase access to healthy
foods. Surplus produce from the market and CSA shares are
donated to the Campus Kitchen meal delivery program.
Bonner Leader Program
In November of 2008-2009, Augsburg College launched its
first year of the Bonner Leaders program, funded through the
National Bonner Foundation. Through the Bonner program
at Augsburg, students develop deep community relationships
and engage in long-term policy advocacy throughout their
four years at Augsburg College. Those selected to be a part of
the Augsburg College Bonner Leaders program were largely
first-year students, with diverse ethnic and geographical backgrounds, and unique experience with community-leadership
Academic Information
roles. Through service placements with partner nonprofit
community organizations, students worked an average of 200
hours over the course of the academic year in placements
supporting ELL classrooms, running an employment education computer lab, helping coordinate a low-income housing
program, providing community health outreach, and working
with a financial literacy program. Beyond their work-study
service internships, students participated in at least 100 hours
of volunteer hours with various community initiatives and
civic engagement projects on campus.
Through their participation with the Bonner Leaders
program, students engaged in monthly guided reflections
and leadership development training. The Augsburg Bonner
Community Leaders program is a successful campus model
to build on the college’s culture of community and civic
engagement and bring together existing community service
programs to take us to the next level of deepening knowledge, reflection, and authenticity of civic engagement in the
community.
Augsburg Reads
The Augsburg Read Program is a federally funded literacy
and tutoring program focused on elementary student achievement. Augsburg Reads pairs college students with community

Graduate Programs
Augsburg College offers seven graduate degree programs:
Master of Arts in Education, Master of Arts in Leadership,
Master of Arts in Nursing, Master of Business Administration,
Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, and Master
of Social Work. Consult the Augsburg Graduate Studies catalog for complete information.
The Master of Arts in Education offers initial licensure
coursework at the graduate level in elementary education,
secondary education, and special education: E/BD and LD.
The MAE also offers the pre-primary specialty and the K-12
Reading Teacher endorsement. Students are able to take up
to six licensure courses at the graduate level and complete
their licensure programs with a combination of graduate
and undergraduate coursework. Students can then apply
their graduate level licensure courses to complete a master’s
degree program. Students will complete their master’s degrees
through a combination of Master of Arts in Leadership coursework and graduate level education coursework. Licensed
teachers also can pursue special education: E/BD and/or LD,
as well as the K-12 Reading Licensure Endorsement and the
pre-primary endorsement at the graduate level. The program
is available through the Weekend College schedule, and the
admissions process begins with the Graduate Admissions
office. For further information about the programs, contact
the Education Department or the Graduate Admissions office.
The Master of Arts in Leadership is based on a liberal arts
approach to leadership studies. This cross-disciplinary program directs its academic content and pedagogical approaches
to situations, issues, and problems relevant to organizational
leaders. Augsburg’s program recognizes that today’s leaders
need a broad spectrum of abilities to provide them with a
more comprehensive understanding of their world. Designed
for working adults, the program offers courses primarily on
alternate Saturdays. There is also a Monday evening cohort
offering of the program at Augsburg’s Bloomington site.
(Note: A five-year program is available to Augsburg undergraduate accounting majors that would qualify them for CPA
certification and fulfill requirements for a BA in accounting
and an MA in leadership. See the Department of Business
Administration, accounting major section of the catalog for
further information.)
The Master of Arts in Nursing prepares nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural community health nursing practice across care settings, with emphasis on addressing
health inequities among diverse populations. The program is
offered within the context of a Christian liberal arts education. Graduates are eligible to apply for national certification in Advanced Community Health Nursing, or Advanced
Nursing Administration through the American Nurses
Credentialing Center (ANCC), and/or Advanced Certification
in Transcultural Nursing through the Transcultural Nursing
Society (TCNS). Classes meet on a flexible schedule (every
other week or once per month) that includes weekdays, weekday evenings, and Saturdays. Web-enhanced teaching is used
for all classes. Practicums include optional short-term study
abroad experiences. Students may choose to study in Mexico,
Guatemala; Namibia; Pine Ridge; S.Dak.; and/or Europe.
The Master of Arts in Nursing program is accredited by the
Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education in accordance
with its accreditation standards and procedures.
Streamlined entry into the Master of Arts in Nursing—Students
with an ADN and a bachelor’s degree in a field other than
nursing can enter the Master of Arts in Nursing program as a
“bridge student.” This process requires acceptance to the MA
program and completion of three courses in the Augsburg
undergraduate nursing program.
Students in good standing in the Augsburg undergraduate nursing program can enter the MA in nursing through an
“expedited” process. After successful application to the MA
program while still a student in the undergraduate program,
students can take three designated courses in the Master
of Arts in Nursing, which will be applied to the M.A. at
Augsburg upon successful completion of the undergraduate
nursing degree.
The Doctor of Nursing Practice is a post-master’s program
for registered nurses (RNs) who currently hold a master’s
degree in nursing. The DNP at Augsburg will prepare nurses
to guide system level changes that improve health outcomes
of persons underserved by the current health system. The
program emphasizes transcultural nursing leadership to
Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 47

maximize health through peaceful, just, and collaborative
actions that uphold and improve human potential across
care settings with emphasis on health inequities in a global
context. In addition to emphasizing transcultural nursing, the
DNP curriculum also focuses on advanced community/public
health nursing and holistic health.
The Master of Business Administration is designed to give
students mastery of the skills and knowledge necessary to
advance in their careers and accept roles of greater responsibility in an organization. Meeting primarily on one evening
per week, this challenging program is designed to be completed in 23 months. Organized in cohort format, the program
encourages learning in a collaborative small-group environment and features a high level of interaction and attention
from the faculty. The program focuses on giving students the
ability to think critically and effectively manage in complex
environments. An intensive management consulting course
allows students to apply theory and classroom learning to an
actual business or organizational environment. Local businesses and organizations provide a laboratory for students as
they complete comprehensive projects in various disciplines
and functions.
The core program can be enhanced through participation
in a number of concentrations including finance, healthcare
management, human resource management, international
business, and marketing management.
The Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies is
designed for students interested in careers as healthcare providers. The mission of the program is based on a foundation
of respect and sensitivity for the cultures and backgrounds of,
and is oriented toward providing care to, underserved populations. Students are well educated in current medical theory
and practice in primary care medicine. All physician assistants
must have a supervising physician to practice. The program
is three years long with classes held Monday through Friday
during the day.
The Master of Social Work, accredited by the Council
on Social Work Education, prepares students for entering
advanced social work practice. The program builds on the
liberal arts base of the College and supports the College’s mission to nurture future leaders in service to the world.
There are two concentrations: multicultural clinical practice (MCCP) or program development, policy, and administration (PDPA). Students choose one of the two concentrations
for their program focus. The curriculum emphasizes work
with diverse and oppressed groups, social justice, leadership
for social change, and a holistic, strengths-based, problemsolving framework. Graduate social work classes meet in
four-hour blocks on Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, and
Saturday afternoons.
The multicultural clinical practice concentration prepares
students to work with diverse peoples across the full range
of contemporary clinical social work practice settings. The
program development, policy, and administration concentration prepares students to actively seek equality and justice for

each trimester. Maximum credit load is 4.0 credits. Students
registered for at least two course credits in one term are
considered full time for that term. Students registered for one
course credit are considered half-time for the term.
The last day to initially register for courses in the
Weekend College and the Partner Hospitals program
(Weekend College) is the last business day before the term
begins. After initial registration, Weekend College students
may add individual classes to their current schedule or
withdraw without notation through Friday after the first
class weekend. The signature of the instructor is required to
add a class after the class meets. Students may petition the
Committee on Student Standing for permission to add a class
through the Thursday prior to the second class weekend.
There is a fee for this petition. The last day to petition to add
a class is the Thursday prior to the second class weekend.
Students registered for Weekend College T1/T2 courses
may add or withdraw without notation through the Friday
after the first weekend class meeting. Changing grade option
or withdrawing with a W is allowed through the Tuesday after
the second weekend class meeting.
The last day to initially register for courses on the
Rochester campus is the last business day before the term
begins. After initial registration, Rochester students may add
individual classes to their current schedule and/or withdraw
without notation through Monday after the first week of
classes. The signature of the instructor is required to add a
class after a class meets and it must be processed through the
Enrollment Center. Students may petition the Committee on
Student Standing for permission to add a class through the
Friday prior to the second week of classes. There is a fee for
this petition. The last date to petition to add a class is the
Friday before the second week of classes.
Students registered for Rochester T1/T2 courses may add
or withdraw without notation through the Monday after the
first week of the class. Changing grade option or withdrawing with a W is allowed through the Monday after the second
week of the class.
Separate rules apply to Summer School. Late course registrations may be subject to additional late fees.
ACTC school course listings are also available online and
should be checked to verify the correct meeting times and
room assignment. As some courses are offered only in alternate years, students should also consult with departmental
advisers when planning their academic program.
Summer session and graduate program courses are published in separate schedules.
Specific information on registration and help with registration on other campuses are available from these offices:

Crossover Registration Policy
Every Augsburg undergraduate student is admitted to
a “home program,” either day, Weekend College, or the
Rochester Program. It is expected that students will complete
most of their degree requirements through their home program. However, full-time students may register for up to 1.0
credits per term outside their home program. Enrollment will
be based on class availability.
Students will be charged the rate of their home program
for courses in which they enroll outside their home program.
The rate will be based on the maximum credit load they are
carrying on any calendar date over the span of the two terms.
For example, a day program student taking 2.0 credits in the
day program, and 1.0 credits in the WEC program, will be
considered full-time and will be charged the full-time day
program tuition rate. A WEC student taking 2.0 credits in the
WEC program, and 1.0 credits in the day program, will pay
the WEC tuition rate x 3.0 credits.
Day students taking over 4.5 credits will pay the day
part-time rate for any credits over 4.5 in their combined day/
WEC load (Spring day term will include both winter WEC
and spring WEC). The maximum number of credits that may
be included in the day full-time tuition rate for students who
cross-register is 4.5.
Students have registration priority in their home program. Crossover registration dates are published on the registrar’s office webpage. There is a special crossover registration
form that must be processed at the Enrollment Center. This
registration option is not available by Web.
The WEC, Rochester, and Partner Hospitals programs
are not part of the ACTC (Associated Colleges of the Twin
Cities) tuition exchange program. WEC/Rochester/hospital
students may NOT cross over to attend ACTC courses.
Students must have completed their undergraduate
degree and be admitted to a graduate program before taking graduate level courses from that program. (An exception
is made for approved courses in the Department of Nursing
and the joint BA Accounting/MAL.) Undergraduate students
enrolled in graduate courses will pay the graduate rate for
those courses. Any student enrolled in an Augsburg graduate
level program wishing to take an undergraduate course will
pay the rate of the program in which the course is offered
(Day, WEC, or Rochester).
Change of Program
Students may apply to change their “home program” by filling
out a Change of Program form available at the Enrollment
Center. The change will take effect the following term.
Changes are limited to one each academic year. A Change
of Program form must be submitted before the term begins.
Students registered in spring Day may not do a change of
program into spring WEC.

I Augsburg College 2010-2011
Withdrawal from College
Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are
registered because this will result in a failing grade on their
official academic record. Cancellation of courses or withdrawal
from College must be completed in the Enrollment Center.
A Withdrawal from the College form may be obtained at the
Enrollment Center or downloaded from the registrar’s webpage. The last day to file for a Withdrawal from College is
the last day of classes prior to finals week. Withdrawal from
college and any consequential adjustments in accounts are
effective as of the date the Withdrawal from College form is
returned to the registrar’s office. Students must be re-admitted
to the College when they are ready to resume their studies.
The Application for Readmission form is available from the
Enrollment Center or can be downloaded from the registrar’s
webpage.
Students are responsible for keeping the registrar’s office
informed of their current mailing address.
Military Called to Active Duty
Augsburg College will allow students to withdraw from
courses without penalty if they are called to active duty as
military reservists, National Guard, or for other military
service. This shall include a 100 percent refund of tuition and
fees upon verification of call to active duty. The student must
provide a copy of their orders to the registrar.
If the student is called to duty after the deadline to drop
a course, the registrar will place a W for the course(s) along
with a notation on the transcript that the student was called
to active duty. This is to assist the student with any financial
aid complications that may arise and also indicate that the
withdrawal was outside of the student’s control.
Alternatively, the College supports faculty in enabling
students who are called to active duty and have substantially
completed a course, to assign a grade based upon the coursework completed, or work out an “incomplete” agreement.
Students who are able to complete some of their courses
would have their refund adjusted to reflect this.
Students who are being placed on active duty should contact the registrar and/or the dean’s office as soon as possible so
the College can notify all parties and aid in this process.
Student Standing Committee
The Student Standing Committee reviews requests for exceptions to academic policies. Typically, the committee considers
requests for:
• Minor exceptions to academic requirements and/or
approval of transfer course substitutions
• Extending time for an incomplete
• Permission to take a course overload
• Student schedule changes after registration deadlines (adding, withdrawing, or grade option changes)
Note: Petitions for an exception to published registration
deadlines will require a $50 petition fee attached to the petition. This fee is non-refundable regardless of the outcome of
Academic Information
the petition. Petitions involving adding or dropping courses/
withdrawing from college after the deadline must be submitted within six months of the published registration deadlines
for the term involved.
For petitions requesting a late registration, any student
account holds must be cleared before submitting the petition.
Students who are allowed to add a course by petition after the
published petition deadline will incur a $150 late registration
fee per course.
In addition, the committee reviews students’ transcripts
in determining academic probation or dismissal from the
College on academic grounds. The committee also hears
appeals from students who have been dismissed for academic
reasons.
The committee reviews student requests for readmission
to the College after dismissal or returning after leaving while
on probation, or students readmitting to the College immediately after a term from which they withdrew from College.
The committee typically meets every other week throughout the school year (September-April), and once a month
during summer.
Petition Process
Step 1: Pick up a petition form at the Enrollment Center or
download from the registrar’s webpage, www.augsburg.edu/
registrar/.
Step 2: Fill out the petition form completely. Include documentation for illness or family emergency. Have your adviser,
instructor, or department chairs sign and add comments
concerning your request. Petitions without comments from
faculty will be returned for completion. Note: If petitioning
for a change in registration, please submit a drop/add form
signed by both the instructor and student.
Step 3: Return the completed petition form to the Office of the
Registrar/Enrollment Center; include signed drop/add form
and $50 check if applicable.
Step 4: After the committee meets, a copy of the petition
with the committee’s decision is returned to the student. Day
students will receive this notice in their campus box. WEC
and Rochester student petitions will be mailed to their home
address.
Catalog Applicability
Students must fulfill the general education requirements that
were in effect when they matriculated at Augsburg. Students
may elect to satisfy the departmental major requirements of
any of the catalogs in effect during their years of enrollment.
However, students who are readmitted after more than six
years away from the College must complete the departmental
major requirements of the most current catalog at the time of
readmission or any one of the catalogs in effect during their
subsequent years of continuous enrollment at Augsburg.
Second Majors and Degrees
Students who graduated from Augsburg and are returning to
complete a second major will not be awarded a second degree
unless it is different from the original degree awarded. (BA,
BM, BS) Students cannot earn multiple degrees for the same
major, though it is possible to earn multiple degrees from
the same academic department if the majors are distinct. For
example, a student cannot earn both a BA in computer science
and a BS in computer science, but may earn a BS in computer
science and a BA in computational philosophy.
Evaluation of Transfer Credit
The evaluation of transfer credits is completed by the Office
of the Registrar and is based on a student’s official transcript.
College credit is granted for liberal arts courses completed
at regionally accredited institutions with a grade of 2.0/C
or better. Liberal arts courses are defined as courses similar
in nature, content, and level to those offered at Augsburg.
Augsburg does not grant transfer credit for developmentalremedial courses, vocational-technical courses, or continuing education units (CEUs). Courses with grades of C-, CD,
or below do not transfer to Augsburg College. Competency
credits and exam credits issued by another institution may
and will be evaluated on a individual basis. The registrar’s
office evaluates coursework for credit and for applicability
toward Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements. Academic
departments are responsible for evaluating the applicability of coursework toward a student’s major or minor. The
College requires that certain courses and a minimum number of courses be taken at Augsburg. (Refer to the Residence
Requirements section of the catalog.)
Augsburg operates on a course credit system rather than
semester or quarter hours. Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter hours. Transfer
credits that have been reported to Augsburg as semester or
quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by
dividing by four or six respectively.
Augsburg College limits transfer credit from two-year
colleges. Students may transfer a maximum of 64 semester
credits (96 quarter credits) from two-year colleges. Once a
student reaches this credit limit, no additional credits will
transfer from two-year institutions toward the minimum
number of course credits required for a bachelor’s degree.
However, courses taken beyond the credit limit can be used to
meet liberal arts and major requirements.
Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are
reported on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points
from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are
not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average.
Students should consult with their faculty adviser and the
Office of the Registrar before taking courses at other institutions to ensure compliance with transfer credit policy and
residency requirements. (Refer to the Residence Requirements
section of the catalog.)
Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 51
Academic Information
MnSCU Transfer Students
Completion of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC)
with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher will
satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements
and will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one
course (REL 300). Students will be granted credit for transferable courses graded C or better. To qualify for this transfer
program, the MnTC must be completed prior to enrollment at
Augsburg.
Completion of the Associate of Arts degree with the
MnTC and a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher
will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements, will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one
course (REL 300), and will waive one of two Lifetime Fitness
requirements. Students will be granted credit for transferable
courses graded C – or better. Transfer courses that equate
to Augsburg’s requirements of Effective Writing, entry level
math, and modern language must have a grade of C or better
in order for credit to be granted. To qualify for this transfer
program, the A.A. degree and MnTC must be completed prior
to enrollment at Augsburg.
Note: Additional prerequisite coursework beyond the AA
degree may be required in some Augsburg majors. Students
are advised to consult an academic adviser in the major
department to discuss major requirements. Courses with
C–grades or below will not be accepted as prerequisites or for
application to majors.
Admission to a major—a separate process from admission
to the College—is sometimes required. Please check with the
Office of Undergraduate Admissions and consult the departmental section of this catalog.
Advanced Transfer Students
Students who enter Augsburg with 13 or more course credits accepted in transfer are considered Advanced Transfer
Students. The Augsburg Core Curriculum will be adjusted for
advanced transfer students as outlined below:
• Complete REL 300 Bible, Christian Theology, and Vocation
instead of REL 100 and REL 200
• Waiver of Augsburg Seminar requirement
• Waiver of Engaging Minneapolis
• Waiver of the Entry-level Critical Thinking Assessment
• Waiver of one Lifetime Fitness requirement (depending on
transfer evaluation)
All Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements not mentioned
above remain unchanged for Advanced Transfer Students.
*Waivers for Advanced Transfer are determined at the
time of initial entry into Augsburg and will not be granted for
courses completed after initial enrollment.
Transfer Credit for Military Experience
Students are welcome to submit their military transcripts to
the Office of the Registrar for transfer credit evaluation. A
military transcript will contain credit recommendations from
the American Council on Education (ACE) for training and
courses completed in the U.S. Armed Services. Augsburg will
52

Graduation Requirements
The responsibility for ensuring that all degree requirements
are satisfied rests with the student. All students are required to
file a graduation application with the registrar’s office one year
prior to graduation.
Faculty advisers, the Academic Advising staff, department
chairs, and the registrar staff are available for counsel and
assistance in program planning.
Students who enter an academic program with a bachelor’s or higher degree should contact the Office of the
Registrar about specific requirements for a second bachelor’s
degree or for the equivalent of a major. See page 18 — Special
Students (Second Degree).
Each student is required to apply for graduation at
the end of his or her junior year to confirm remaining
graduation requirements.
Application forms are available at the Enrollment Center
or on the registrar’s webpage.
All degree and course requirements must be completed
and verified in the Office of the Registrar in order for the
degree to be conferred. (There may be no incompletes or open
courses on the academic record.)
Requirements for Undergraduate Graduation
Degree requirements include completion of a minimum
number of credits, a major, the Augsburg Core Curriculum, a
minimum GPA in major(s)/minor(s) and in total coursework,
and residence.
1. Completion of 32 course credits—No more than these
maximums may be applied toward the 32 total course credits
required: two course credits by independent/directed study;
four course credits of internship; and six course credits with
a grade of Pass (P). To graduate with Latin honors, students
may take no more than two elective P/N graded course credits. Each department sets its own limitations on the number of
P/N graded courses that may be applied toward the major and
minor programs, but normally students may apply no more
than two course credits with P grades toward a major and no
Academic Information
more than one course credit with a P grade toward a minor.
The Department of Education is an example of a department
that allows students to apply more than two course credits
with P grades within the major program (two in major field
courses plus student teaching).
2. Completion of a Major—Requirements for each major are
listed under the departmental headings.
3. Completion of the Augsburg Core Curriculum —Requirements
for the Augsburg Core Curriculum are listed in the next
section.
4. Grade Point Average —Students must earn a minimum
overall grade point average of 2.00. Additionally, all majors
and minors require at least a 2.00 grade point average in
coursework for the major or minor. Some majors, licensure,
and certification programs require a higher grade point average or a minimum grade in each course. See the departmental
section for details about the grade and grade point average for
individual majors and minors.
5. Residence —A minimum of 8.0 course credits must be
completed through Augsburg College. Additionally, no fewer
than 6.0 of the last 8.0 course credits must be completed at
Augsburg or within an approved exchange program (ACTC,
McNally Smith, or Augsburg Abroad). Transfer courses and
Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) credits are counted
against the residency requirement. Therefore, students are
encouraged to complete transfer work and APL credits
prior to reaching senior standing. Some departments have a
minimum number of courses that are required in residence
within the major or minor. Consult the catalog description
of the major/minor or the chair of the department for further
information.

Academic Information
The Augsburg Curriculum
The Augsburg Curriculum is comprised of three main components: the core curriculum (or general education requirements), major requirements, and electives. Some students
may need to complete entry-level skill courses before enrolling in college-level classes. The general education requirements, known as the Augsburg Core Curriculum, include
signature courses and experiences, a liberal arts foundation,
and skills development.

The Augsburg Core Curriculum
The Augsburg Core Curriculum is designed to prepare
students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens
through their engagement in a curriculum that:
• Provides a liberal arts foundation and promotes the acquisition of intellectual and professional skills;
• Calls for common inquiry into questions of Christian faith
and the search for meaning; and
Academic Information
• Cultivates the transformative discovery of, and appreciation for, the student’s place of leadership and service in a
diverse world — vocatio and caritas.
The curriculum has three major components:
• The Augsburg Signature Curriculum
• The Liberal Arts Foundation
• Skills Requirements
Skills Requirements
Entry Level Skills Assessments
There are entry level skills assessments in:
• Critical Thinking
• Mathematics
• Writing
Placement in writing, math, and critical thinking courses is
determined by assessments. These assessments are a prerequisite for (not completion of) core and graduation skills course
requirements.
Critical Thinking Assessment and Requirement
Students identified as needing the entry level critical thinking
skill component, based on review of their past academic work,
are required to complete GST 100 with a minimum grade of
2.0 or better.
Mathematics Assessment and Requirement
All students are required to have their math placement group
(MPG) determined. In some cases, students who have transferred a mathematics course taken at another college may
have their MPG determined by the registrar’s office. All other
students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Exam,
which is administered by Academic Advising. The exam
is given during College registration sessions and at other
announced times during the year. Practice questions and
other information are available from Academic Advising.
Based on the math assessment result, students will be
enrolled in the appropriate courses or advised on preparation
for retaking the math placement exam. Students may retake
the Math Placement Exam once during their first term of
enrollment. Students are required to take the Math Placement
Exam before registering for the first term and should achieve
MPG 3 by the end of their first year at Augsburg.
Students in MPG 1 must take MAT 103 to advance to
MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 must take MAT 105 to advance
to MPG 3. Students in MPG 3 must take MAT 114 to advance
to MPG 4. No other MAT course changes a student’s MPG.
A grade of Pass or 2.0 or higher is required to advance to the
next math level.
Students are encouraged to advance their MPG as soon
as possible. Students must achieve Math Placement Group
(MPG) 3 or higher to graduate. In addition, many courses
require MPG 2, 3, or 4 as a prerequisite.
Writing Assessment and Requirement
A writing sample is required of students to determine their
placement in an appropriate writing class. Students having
completed AP (Advanced Placement) courses in composition must have a score of 4 or 5. Students who need to
develop competence in composition skills—such as stating
and supporting a thesis, organizing clearly, and constructing paragraphs and sentences—are required to enroll in
Developmental Writing (ENL 101) where they receive more
individual instruction than is possible in Effective Writing
(ENL 111). These students must pass Developmental Writing
(ENL 101) with a grade of P, 2.0, or higher before enrolling in
Effective Writing (ENL 111).
Unless they have received formal approval of a course
equivalent to ENL 111 on their transfer evaluation, transfer
students must also take the writing placement exam. Students
entering Weekend College or the Rochester program do not
take the Writing Assessment.
Core Skills Requirements
Effective Writing
ENL 111 Effective Writing or ENL 112 Advanced Effective
Writing or the equivalent with a grade of 2.0, P, or higher, is
required. Attendance the first day of class is required.
Students should complete Effective Writing by the middle
of the sophomore year.
Modern Language
For students who have not previously studied a modern
language, completion of a two-course sequence in the same
language with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P in both courses is
required. For a language previously studied, placement into
the 211 level or successful completion (minimum grade of 2.0
or P) of 112 satisfies the graduation requirement. Placement
into French, German and Spanish courses is based on assessment results from an online Brigham Young University evaluation tool. Students proficient in other modern languages
may seek a placement evaluation through faculty fluent in
the specified language at Augsburg or other ACTC schools.
Availability of assessment in all languages is not guaranteed.
Assessment is used for placement only and does not grant
course credit. Students may audit, but will not receive course
credit for any course taken below their placement level. The
Department of Languages and Cross-cultural Studies may
override assessment results as deemed appropriate.
Modern language courses accepted in transfer may be
applicable to this skills area for partial or full completion of
the requirement.
Students who have demonstrated competence in
American Sign Language by passing an approved course
sequence will have fulfilled the Modern Language Core Skill.
Students whose first language is not English and whose
score is below the minimum on the English Language
Learners (ELL) placement test must fulfill the ELL requirement. The requirement is satisfied by successfully completing
the ELL course(s) and achieving a score above the minimum
on the ELL placement exam. Students who complete the
ELL requirement fulfill the Modern Language Core Skill
Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 55
Academic Information
requirement. Contact Academic Advising or the English
Department for additional information. More information
about English Language Learners is found on page 92.
Lifetime Fitness
Two lifetime fitness courses are required. HPE 001
Foundations of Fitness is required of all students. The second
course may be chosen from a variety of different Lifetime
Activity courses (HPE 002, 003). Students may test out of the
activity course by demonstrating proficiency from a selected
lifetime activity. Proficiency exams are offered through the
Health and Physical Education Department each semester.
There is a fee to take the lifetime activity proficiency test.
Intercollegiate athletes and Health and Physical Education
majors may not test out of this requirement.
Foundations of Fitness and Lifetime Activity courses
are non-credit courses and are not included in the 32-course
credit graduation requirement.
The Augsburg Signature Curriculum
Christian Vocation and the Search for Meaning
Augsburg’s Signature Curriculum takes seriously the College’s
identity as a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America. Two required courses (REL 100 and REL 200) highlight Augsburg’s commitment to this identity and the College’s
related interest in asking students to think critically about the
concept of vocation.
Faculty who teach these courses make the following commitments to their students:
• You are welcome—whether you are Jewish or atheist,
Buddhist or seeker, Catholic or Muslim, Baptist, Lutheran,
uncertain, disinterested, or someone who is “spiritual but
not religious.” Our Christian understanding is rooted in a
generous spirit of hospitality.
• We will treat each other with respect as we learn how to
engage in conversation with one another about our different values, commitments, convictions, and faith traditions.
• We will challenge and support one another to develop a
mature faith for our time—open to doubts and eager to
explore our questions and the realities of our world and
culture.
• We will equip you with basic knowledge about vocation, religion, the Bible, and Christianity as well as about
Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism—their stories,
claims, and key concepts.
• We will deepen our study of Christianity, explore
Augsburg’s claim that “what we believe matters,” and invite
you to continue the process of developing your own lived
theology.
• We will explore the concept of vocation and our understanding that we are beloved and called to live and serve as
neighbors. We will explore the idea that vocation is a model
and lens for viewing the connections between our basic
beliefs and the commitments and actions we make in life.
56
I Augsburg College 2010-2011
The Augsburg First Year
In order to help them make the transition to college and
their new community, first-year weekday program students are required to take courses containing the following
components:
Augsburg Seminar
All students who enter the College as first-year students in
the weekday schedule program must satisfactorily complete
fall orientation and Augsburg Seminar (AugSem), a first-year
learning community in their major or related area of academic interest. AugSem’s purpose is to help first-year students
embrace the expectations and benefits of being a member of a
learning community at Augsburg College by:
• Encountering the community
• Engaging the learning process
• Exploring the self as scholar
AugSem equips students to become intentional learners, connects them to the larger Augsburg community, and helps them
succeed in future college work.
Engaging Minneapolis
The Engaging Minneapolis requirement builds on Augsburg’s
national leadership in experiential education as well as its
commitment to its urban location. The course linked with
their AugSem introduces students to the city as a resource
for intentional learning, typically through civic engagement,
cultural engagement, or service learning.
Many Voices Project
Embedded in ENL 111, 112, and HON 111 (see core skills
requirements), the Many Voices Project engages first-year
students in discussion of a common text addressing themes
of cultural diversity and global awareness. Emphasizing ways
in which written communication can promote understanding and productive engagement among different cultures and
points of view, the Many Voices Project is intended to teach
skills and methods that promote successful communication
between diverse writers and readers.
Augsburg Experience
All students must complete at least one approved Augsburg
Experience as a requirement for graduation. Augsburg
Experiences highlight the College’s commitment to experiential education and active participation in the broader
community, both locally and globally. Five categories of
approved experiential learning opportunities are recognized
as Augsburg Experiences: internships (including fieldwork,
practicums, and student teaching), faculty-student research,
service learning/community service, study abroad, and offcampus immersion experiences.
An Augsburg Experience integrates experiential learning
with academic learning. It demonstrates enhanced learning
and reflects research and best practices in experiential education. Approved Augsburg Experiences meet two criteria: (1)
integrate experiential learning with academic learning and (2)
link on-campus learning to the goals, mission, needs, or ideas
Academic Information
of off-campus people, organizations, and/or communities,
either through community partners, professional activities,
and/or travel. Augsburg Experiences may be embedded in
designated courses that are part of the regular class schedule
or may be completed for zero credit outside the regular class
schedule. The length of time required, credit/no-credit status,
and grading options for approved Augsburg Experiences vary.
Senior Keystone
The Senior Keystone course provides a final opportunity
for exploring the central themes of an Augsburg education—vocation and the search for meaning in a diverse and
challenging world. Students reflect on the meaning of their
educational experiences and consider issues of transition as
they prepare for their lives after Augsburg. Most Keystone
courses also meet major requirements.
The Senior Keystone course in each department connects
the broad liberal arts foundation with the professional skills
and in-depth study of the major. It asks graduating students
to think critically, reflectively, and ethically about their place
in the world as leaders and servants.
The official list of approved keystone courses is found
on the registrar’s webpage—under the heading General
Education Requirements, click on Senior Keystone.
The Liberal Arts Foundation
The Liberal Arts Foundation courses introduce students to
knowledge and modes of inquiry across a wide range of disciplines and subjects. The course offerings in the traditional
liberal arts provide the opportunity for students to acquire
a broad and solid foundation for their specialized study and
professional preparation.
Students choose two approved LAF courses from two
different departments in each domain: Natural Sciences and
Mathematics; Social and Behavioral Sciences; Humanities; and
Fine Arts.
The official list of approved LAF courses is found on the
registrar’s webpage—under the heading General Education
Requirements, click on Liberal Arts Foundation.
Natural Sciences and Mathematics
Two approved courses from two different departments:
Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics.
One must be a lab science course.
Social and Behavioral Sciences
Two approved courses from two different departments:
Anthropology, Economics, Environmental Studies, Political
Science, Psychology, Sociology
Humanities
Two approved courses from two different departments/
programs:
American Indian Studies, Communication Studies, English,
History, Philosophy, Religion, Languages and Cross-Cultural
Studies (literature and culture courses), Women’s Studies
Note: The signature Search for Meaning (REL 100, 200,
or 300) courses do not count as humanities Liberal Arts
Foundation requirements.
Fine Arts
Two approved courses or approved activities from two different departments:
Art, Film, Music, Theatre Arts.
One fine arts LAF requirement can be met by participating in one of the following:
• Four semesters in any combination of the major choral

• Four semesters of orchestra (MUE 121)
• Four semesters of concert band (MUE 141)
Graduation Skills Requirements
An Augsburg education includes enhancement of certain
skills during the years in college. Critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, speaking, and writing skills are deliberate
components of certain courses. Graduation skill requirements
typically are embedded in required courses in the major. Some
departments, however, designate courses outside the major or
elective courses in the major that fulfill these requirements.
The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) skill has two components: foundational skills and the application of those skills.
Courses in which foundational quantitative reasoning skills
are taught have a QF designation. Courses that contain an
embedded project in which students apply and practice those
foundational skills have a QA designation. Courses that provide both foundational skills and an application project have a
QFA designation. MPG 3 (Math Placement Group 3) is a prerequisite for all quantitative reasoning QF and QFA courses.
Departments may designate one required course with a QF
designation and one required course with a QA designation
(departments may also designate a list of QF or QA courses
from which students can choose); OR, departments may designate a QFA course that fulfills the Quantitative Reasoning
skill (departments may also designate a list of QFA courses
from which students can choose); OR, departments may list
this skill as embedded.
See department and program pages in this catalog, consult the graduation skills catalog supplement found online on
the registrar’s webpage, or consult the department chair for
more information.
Core Curriculum Modifications
Some majors that result in a Bachelor of Science degree give
students the ability to modify their Core Curriculum requirements in one of the following ways.
Bachelor of Science/Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) Waiver—
Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver must
complete at least six of the eight LAF requirements, provided
at least one course is taken in each of the four domains. (e.g.,
two Natural Science and Mathematics courses, two Social and
Behavioral Science courses, one Fine Arts course, and one
Humanities course) The following majors are approved for
Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 57
Academic Information
the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver:
• Biology
• Chemistry
• Clinical Laboratory Science
• Elementary Education
• Health Education (teaching licensure only)
• Mathematics
• Music Therapy
• Nursing
• Physical Education (teaching licensure only)
• Physics
Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver—Students who
elect the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver are not
required to complete modern language courses as part of their
degree. The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of
Science/Modern Language Waiver:
• Biology
• Chemistry
• Clinical Laboratory Science
• Mathematics
• Music Therapy
• Nursing
• Physics
• See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements,
page 52.
Certain courses have restrictions and are offered on one
grading system only (e.g., lifetime activities are graded only
P/N). 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 P/N grading option. Any
changes in choice of grading system must be made according
to dates published each term.
Numeric Grades
Numeric grades are used with these definitions:
4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence
3.5
3.0 Achieves above basic course standards
2.5
2.0 Meets basic standards for the course
1.5
1.0 Performance below basic course standards
0.5
0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course)
Grades of P (Pass) or S (Satisfactory) or N (No credit) are not
computed in the grade point average.
Incomplete (I) Grades
Evaluation and Grading
Explanation of Grades
The official delivery of end-of-term grades to students is
online via the AugNet Records and Registration website.
Student achievement in courses is measured by final
examinations, shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and
other types of evaluation.
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.
Pass/No Credit
Students who choose the P/N option are cautioned:
• In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at
least a grade of 2.0.
• Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as
a C.
• Maximum number of course credits taken P/N that may be
applied to graduation is six course credits with a grade of
Pass (P).
• P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement
that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at
Augsburg in order to be considered for Latin Honors.
Transfer students should be especially aware of this
requirement.
• To be eligible for graduation with Latin Honors, students
may elect only two P/N credits.
58
I Augsburg College 2010-2011
An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor
grants permission after determining that a student emergency
may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive
an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course
if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an
Application for Incomplete Grade form by the end of the term
with the Office of the Registrar that states the reasons for the
request, outlines the work required to complete the course,
and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor
may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course
completion; however, students may not attend the same
course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term
with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the
outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the
work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final
day of the following academic term in the student’s program.
If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0.
Extension (X) Grades
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 of X (extension) 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. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term
in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer
Academic Information
than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an
extension where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If
the course is not completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned.
Withdrawal Grade
A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is
dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without
notation on the record and before the last day to withdraw
deadline.
Repeated Courses
A course in which a grade of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N 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 each term
and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded 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. Courses
completed at Augsburg College must be repeated at Augsburg
to be included in the repeat policy.
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade
may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time day students
will be charged an audit fee if their total credit load is over 4.5
credits. The charge for part-time and Weekend College students is listed under Weekend College costs in the Financing
Your Education section on page 21. The signature of the
instructor is required to register an audit. 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 requirements. If expectations have been
met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been
audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be
listed with a grade of W. Audited courses do not count toward
graduation and do not fulfill general education requirements.
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all
work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points
for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on
the P/N grading option are recorded, but not computed in the
GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is:
GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits
attempted.*
*Courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned
Classification
Students are classified when grades are posted at the end of
each term. Classification is based on the number of course
credits completed.
• Sophomores—7 completed course credits
• Juniors—15 completed course credits
• Seniors—23 completed course credits
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
comprise the academic program of a liberal arts college. The
Assessment of Previous Learning program (APL) 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 bachelor’s 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:
International Baccalaureate Program (IB)—Courses earned from
the International Baccalaureate program will be considered by
the College for advanced placement and appropriate credit.
IB exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available in the registrar’s office and on the Academic Advising website.
Advanced Placement Program (AP)—Augsburg allows students
to earn credit for scores of 3, 4, or 5 on selected Advanced
Placement tests. For some exams, a minimum score of 4
is required. AP exams may fulfill general education and/or
major requirements. Additional information is available on
the Academic Advising webpage and from the Office of the
Registrar.
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)—This is a series
of standardized tests that have been developed by the College
Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional
testing centers. Students who score at or above the American
Council on Education’s recommended score on an approved
examination may receive academic credit for that subject at
Augsburg College. CLEP exams may fulfill general education
and/or major requirements. Information about CLEP tests is
available from the Office of the Registrar and the Academic
Advising webpage.
Departmental Comprehensive Exams—These are available for
students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the
following conditions are met:
• There is a departmental exam available for the subject area
in question.
• There is a faculty member designated by the department to
administer the exam.
• The registrar approves the student’s request to take the
exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a P/N
Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 59
Academic Information
basis only, and there is a charge per exam of $400 for a full
course credit.
The Portfolio Assessment Program—This is a credit assessment
alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The
faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields
of study directly related to the student’s previous learning.
Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the Office of the
Registrar. In completing the evaluation of a student’s previous
learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria:
• There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved
prescribed or systematic study of content material found
within liberal arts coursework.
• The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in
addition to the presenting student.
• The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
• The learning relates well to the student’s educational goals.
• 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 one term of academic work at Augsburg
College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.50. It
is strongly recommended that the process not be used when
four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is a nonrefundable application deposit of $200 to initiate the credit
assessment process for each course presented in a portfolio.
An additional $200 is charged upon approval of each course.
Credit is available on a P/N credit basis only.
Transcript credit will be recorded with the equivalent
Augsburg course numbers as determined by faculty reviewers.
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 allows a maximum of eight
credits (one-fourth of a bachelor’s degree) to be obtained
through previous experiential learning. In compiling the eight
credits for previous experiential learning, the student may use
any combination of the five assessment processes available in
the APL Program: AP exams, CLEP exams, IB exams, departmental comprehensive exams, and credit granted through
portfolio assessment.
English Language Learners (ELL)
Students whose primary language spoken at home is not
English must take the ELL placement test in conjunction
with the English writing placement test prior to registering
for their first term at Augsburg. Students’ placement in ELL,
ENL 101 Developmental Writing, or ENL 111, HON 111, or
ENL 112 Effective Writing will be determined by their scores
on the Michigan test (85-100 range for exemption from ELL
60
I Augsburg College 2010-2011
courses) and by a writing sample.
Near the end of each term of the English Language
Learner’s course, an objective test will be administered to all
students in the class. The score on this test and the grade
earned in the class will determine whether additional ELL
coursework is required. Usually a score of 85 to 100 and
a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will fulfill the student’s ELL
requirement.
All students whose native language is not English must
stay enrolled in ENL 217/218 until such time that they pass
the ELL placement test at 85 percent or higher. The ELL
course can be counted only twice in the total number of
courses required for graduation.
Students who fulfill the ELL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the Modern
Language Core Skill requirement for graduation.
Academic Progress, Probation, and
Dismissal
The College requires that all students maintain a 2.00 cumulative grade point average (GPA). A minimum GPA of 2.00 is
required for graduation; however, certain majors require a
higher minimum GPA.
A student will be placed on probation and considered for
continuation or dismissal if:
• His/her cumulative GPA is below 2.00
• He/she is a first-year student who receives two (2) zero or
No Pass grades
• He/she is a sophomore, junior, or senior who receives three
(3) zero or No Pass grades
• At the end of their first term, he/she has not fulfilled the
requirements established through the Conditional Admit
Program (refer to the Academic Skills Office Conditional
Admit Program (CAP) section of the catalog).
Dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is
reviewed by the Student Standing Committee. Evidence of
a student’s commitment to academic progress is the primary
consideration used when deciding whether to dismiss a
student.
Students who have a poor academic record may be
strongly advised to withdraw before the end of a term.
Students on probation who voluntarily withdraw from the
College must receive permission from the Student Standing
Committee to re-enroll.
Students who have been dismissed may apply for readmission after one year. At that time, the Student Standing
Committee will review the application for readmission accompanied by any statements and evidence attesting to his/her
commitment to academic success.
A student will be removed from probation if:
• His/her cumulative GPA reaches 2.00; or
• He/ she was placed on probation because of unfulfilled
Conditional Admit Requirements and he/she subsequently
satisfies those requirements.
Academic Information
The Dean’s List, compiled after each semester, lists undergraduate students whose grade point average for a semester is
3.50 or better. Students must be full-time students (a minimum equivalent of three full course credits for a weekday
schedule student or two equivalent full course credits for a
Weekend College student), graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit.
Courses taken outside of a program’s calendar (e.g., crossover
courses taken in a Weekend College trimester term by a day
student or in a semester term by a weekend student) are not
calculated when determining the Dean’s List. If permission
has been given by the student, an announcement is sent to the
hometown newspaper for those students on the Dean’s List.
fulfilled, meaning that one can graduate at any point during the academic year provided that all requirements are
complete.
Commencement is a ceremony. It is an opportunity for
students, family, friends, and the Augsburg College community to celebrate academic accomplishment. Participation
in commencement, however, does not mean that a student
has graduated. A student will not graduate and a degree will
not be conferred until all requirements are met, regardless of
participation in commencement.
Augsburg College holds two commencement ceremonies
in the spring to accommodate the College’s different student populations. The May commencement ceremony is for
students in the Day undergraduate program and for students
in the Physician Assistant Studies graduate program. The
June commencement ceremony is for students in the other
five graduate programs as well as undergraduate students
in Weekend College, Rochester campus, and the Partner
Hospitals program.
Undergraduate students who have not completed all
degree requirements may participate in commencement if: (1)
no more than three requirements will remain in their program at the conclusion of spring term; and (2) the remaining
requirements will be completed in the summer or fall terms
immediately following commencement.
Latin Honors
Enrollment/Degree Verification
Augsburg recognizes those students who have demonstrated
exemplary academic achievement by conferring Latin honors
upon completion of a baccalaureate degree.
This designation and the standards set are in effect for all
students who complete degree requirements in May 2004 or
later. Students may also receive honors recognition for departmental honors and for participation in the Honors program.
(See individual department and program descriptions for
details.)
Augsburg College has authorized the National Student
Clearinghouse to act as its agent for verification of student
enrollment and degree status.
Contact information is as follows:
National Student Clearinghouse
13454 Sunrise Valley Road, Suite 300
Herndon, VA 20171
Web: www.degreeverify.org
Phone: 703-742-4200
Fax: 703-742-4239
E-mail: degreeverify@studentclearinghouse.org
The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who
does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student
is dismissed, he/she may appeal the decision to the Student
Standing Committee within 10 school days. Specific appeal
instructions are included in the letter of dismissal.
Students may also be dismissed from professional
programs, such as Social Work, Education and Nursing. A
student dismissed from a program may appeal the decision
through the Program Dismissal Appeal Process. The process is
available at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/.
Dean’s List
Qualification for Latin honors is determined as follows:
Summa cum laude: 3.90-4.00 GPA plus successful
completion of the summa oral examination
Magna cum laude: 3.80-3.89 GPA
Cum laude: 3.60-3.79 GPA
To be eligible, a student must complete a minimum of 14 traditionally graded credits at Augsburg and have no more than
two elective pass/no pass graded credits at Augsburg (classes
offered only as P/N by the department will not be counted).
For additional information, including the guidelines for
the Summa Cum Laude oral examination, go to the Latin
Honors section at www.augsburg.edu/registrar/.
Veterans of Military Service
Augsburg is approved by the state approving agency for veterans education. Veterans should consult with the
V.A. certifying official in the Office of the Registrar about
completion of enrollment verification and the forwarding
of other information to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Veterans will need to meet the requirements of the Veterans
Administration regarding repayment of educational assistance
funds received.
Additional information about veterans education benefits
can be found at www.gibill.va.gov.
Graduation and Commencement
Though the terms are often confused, the words “graduation”
and “commencement” carry different meanings. Graduation
refers to the completion of all degree requirements. Students
graduate when all requirements for the degree have been
Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act Notice
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974
Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 61
Academic Information
(FERPA), as amended, provides certain rights to students
regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg
College is required to give notice of the various rights
accorded to students pursuant to FERPA. In accordance with
FERPA, you are notified of the following:
Right to inspect and review education records—You have the
right to review and inspect substantially all of your education
records maintained by or at Augsburg College. The student
must request to review their education records in writing with
their signature. The College will respond in a reasonable time,
but no later than 45 days after receiving the request.
Right to request amendment of education records—You have
the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education
record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the
right to a hearing to present evidence that the record should
be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education
records according to your request.
Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information —You have the right to be asked and to give
Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable
information contained in your education records, except to
the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA
authorize disclosure without your permission. One exception
which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to
school officials with legitimate education interests. A school
official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff
position (including law enforcement unit personnel and
health staff); person or company with whom the College has
contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent);
a person serving on the Board of Trustees, or a student serving
on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance
committee, or assisting another school official performing
his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational
interest if the official needs to review an education record in
order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.
Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information”—FERPA
uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may be released
for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without
notification of the request or disclosure to the student.
Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider
very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to
withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform
Augsburg College not to release Directory Information, any
future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused.

Augsburg College will honor your request to withhold all
Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to
contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg
assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such
information be withheld. The Office of the Registrar must be
notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory
Information. If the notice is not received by the registrar
prior to Sept. 15 (or within 10 school days of the start of a
subsequent term for a new student), it will be assumed that
all Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder
of the current academic year. A new notice for withholding
disclosure must be completed each academic year.
Right to complain to FERPA Office—You have the right to file a
complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy

Departments and Programs
Departments and Programs
Departments and Programs
As a liberal arts institution, Augsburg College believes 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 that make it more accessible to students.
These courses can be arranged in various ways to construct
majors, to create the substance of a broad general education, and to give students the opportunity to study areas of
particular individual interest.
Course Descriptions
Descriptions of courses are arranged by departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus
containing a more detailed explanation of content, approach,
requirements, and evaluations 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 majors and minors follows the narrative.
Class Schedule
Courses listed are subject to change. In general, day classes
are offered fall and/or spring terms unless otherwise indicated. The schedule of classes offered through the Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) for fall and spring terms
is only available online.
Since some courses are offered alternate years, it is
important that the student review major requirements and
course offerings with an adviser to ensure that all requirements can be met.
Descriptions and schedules for Summer Session, the
Master of Arts in Education, Master of Arts in Leadership,
Master of Arts in Nursing, Master of Business Administration,
Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, Master of
Social Work, and Doctor of Nursing Practice courses are
published in a separate Graduate Studies catalog.
Credits
A full course is offered for one course credit. A few fractional
courses, for one-half or one-quarter course credit, are offered.
Unless noted, all courses are one course credit. A full course
is valued as four semester credits or six quarter hours. Most
day program courses meet for three 60-minute periods or two
90-minute periods per week with additional time required
for laboratory work. All full credit Weekend College courses
meet for eight three-and-one-half-hour sessions during fall
and for seven four-hour sessions during winter and spring
term.

I Augsburg College 2010-2012
Numbering
Courses numbered below 300 are lower division courses.
Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as upper
division. In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for
first-years, 200s for sophomores, 300s for juniors, and 400s
for seniors.
Prerequisites
Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level
course are listed in the course description as prerequisites. A
student may enroll in a course when a prerequisite has not
been fulfilled if there is prior approval by the professor teaching the course. Some prerequisites (such as ENL 111, math
placement, and critical thinking) cannot be waived by the
instructor. NOTE: Not all courses are offered in all schedules.
Refer to Augnet Records and Registration for information on
when specific courses are offered.
Internships and Independent Studies
Every department offers opportunities for internships and
independent study. The course description and process for
registering is normally the same for each department. Some
departments have additional statements that can be found in
the departmental course listing. Interdisciplinary internships
are also available.
Internships
Registration for internships consists of the following steps:
1. Obtain the internship registration permission form
and secure the signatures of the faculty supervisor and director of the Strommen Career and Internship Center.
2. Register: Turn in the completed internship registration form (with all signatures) to the Enrollment Center.
You must register the internship for the academic term that
coincides with the internship experience.
3. A learning agreement (forms are available in the
Strommen Career and Internship Center) must be completed
with the faculty member responsible for grading the experience and the work supervisor. The original is turned in to the
Strommen Career and Internship Center, with copies made
for the faculty supervisor and student.

American Indian Studies
American Indian Studies
American Indian studies is a major that gives students the
opportunity to learn about the original, indigenous cultures
of North America. Students will be provided with a multidisciplinary understanding of the history and present situation
of American Indians. The program emphasizes the interrelations among history, culture, language, literature, the arts,

Art—ART
Art is essential. It teaches us to see, claim beauty, make sense
of pain, explore the world, and express ourselves.
At Augsburg College, inspiration and creativity grow
from the diversity of ideas experienced on a small campus
in the heart of a major metropolitan area. We balance a solid
foundation of drawing, design, and history with technical
skills, critical thinking, and creative exploration in a range of
media. On-campus galleries showcase the work of students
as well as established artists. An innovative faculty pairs
creative curriculum for traditional disciplines in drawing,
painting, ceramics, sculpture, and photography with emerging disciplines in hand papermaking, book arts, architecture,
and digital media. Class sizes are small; we will get to know
each other.
Galleries and museums surround us; art club, studio visits, and guest artists provide art in real time; service learning,
internships, and study abroad are integral to our program.
We reach an average of 700 students a year from all disciplines, graduating 25-30 majors annually with BA degrees in
art history, studio art, art education; and certificates in studio
art and graphic design.
For over 40 years, students have been earning degrees in
art and art history at Augsburg College. We’re excited to be
here in the center of the city. We think you will be, too.

Biology
Biology—BIO
We are in the midst of a revolution in biology. From the
unraveling of information locked within the human and
other genomes to the complexities of interactions between
organisms in diverse ecosystems in changing environments,
biologists and members of the public are grappling with an
almost overwhelming flood of new information. By focusing
on the core principles of biology, students are given the tools
with which to interpret results coming out of the revolution, and by early exposure to original independent research
projects, given the opportunity to themselves contribute to
our understanding of the natural world. Integration across
biological sub-disciplines is emphasized, paralleling the integration taking place in the maturing field of systems biology.
As biological phenomena become amenable to the analytical tools of chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer
science, biology is increasingly a multidisciplinary venture,
Thus, a firm background in these sciences is also important
for the successful study of biology. Biological forces have
many profound effects on society, and in turn humanity
has strongly affected our biosphere. Thus, service-learning
opportunities are tightly integrated within the curricula.
For many, an undergraduate major in biology serves as a
springboard for further study. Augsburg graduates have gone
on to graduate studies in the life sciences, leading to careers
in college or university teaching, basic and applied research,
and public health. Many have entered professional programs
in medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. Other graduates have gone directly into secondary education, biomedical
and biotechnology industries, laboratory research, natural
resources, and environmental education.

Accounting
Accounting—ACC
The major in accounting prepares students for professional
careers in a wide variety of accounting-related positions.
This major has two tracks: general accounting and professional accounting. The general accounting specialization
is adequate for a wide variety of positions. The professional accounting track includes two specializations: public
accounting and managerial accounting. The public accounting specialization is recommended for positions with CPA
firms. The managerial accounting specialization is recommended for positions with large or rapidly-growing companies.
The two professional specializations relate to two
professional designations: the CPA and the CMA. A certified
public accountant (CPA) focuses on external reporting; a
certified management accountant (CMA) focuses on internal reporting. The public accounting specialization includes
the materials emphasized on the CPA exam; the managerial
specialization includes the materials emphasized on the CMA
exam. Both the CPA and CMA designation have an experience requirement in addition to passing the national exam.
Under the rules of the Minnesota State Board of Accountancy,
accounting majors in the public accounting specialization are
qualified to sit for the CPA examination after graduation.
Effective May 2006, students will need to complete the
equivalent of 150 semester hours of education to be licensed
as Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). This can be completed in four years through accelerated undergraduate work.
Another option is to complete a four-year bachelor’s degree
plus a master’s degree.

Chemistry
Chemistry—CHM
Chemistry is the science that examines and works toward
understanding changes in matter. Chemistry has been
described as the central science because matter includes the
entire physical world, such as the things we use, the food we
eat, and even ourselves. Correlating the insights of chemistry with physics, mathematics, and molecular biology opens
vistas that excite and offer opportunities to benefit the entire
world.
Chemists as scientists must be knowledgeable in fact
and theory for solving scientific problems and also capable
of providing a public understanding of their work, including
potential problems as well as benefits.
Chemists as people must be broadly educated in order to
understand themselves and their society. The liberal arts as
offered in the general education curriculum is imperative if a
chemist is to be both truly human and truly scientific.
Augsburg’s chemistry department is approved by the
American Chemical Society (ACS) and offers a chemistry
major that meets the chemistry background required by
many fields.
Consonant with these ideals, the Department of
Chemistry has established the following objectives to help its
students develop into mature scientists:
• To provide a course of study of sufficient rigor and depth
to enable our graduates who complete our ACS chemistry
major to compete successfully with their peers of similar
ability in graduate school or research positions, as well
as professional goals other than traditional positions as
chemists.
• 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 after graduation, and be able to move into new areas as opportunities
arise.
• To encourage students to take a broad view of their education and to integrate outside study areas with the sciences.
• To present the excitement of chemistry to non-science
majors as an example of the methodology of the natural
sciences in examining the world around us. The presentation of major concepts underlying the changes in matter,
the opportunity to examine change in the physical world,
and the reflection of the implications and limitations of
science in our society will enhance the ability of non-science persons to make better value judgments concerning
science questions in their own endeavors.

Clinical Laboratory Science
Clinical Laboratory
Science—CLS
Clinical laboratory scientists perform complex biological,
microbiological, and chemical tests on patient samples. They
also use, maintain, and troubleshoot sophisticated laboratory equipment in the performance of diagnostic tests. The
clinical laboratory scientist analyzes these test results and
discusses them with the medical staff. He/she also possesses
the skills required for molecular diagnostic tests based on
DNA and RNA technologies. In addition, the clinical laboratory scientist will find opportunities in test development,
experimental design, administration, and education.
The curriculum requires a minimum of six semesters on
campus to complete the prerequisite curriculum. Students
spend an additional 12 months of clinical education in a
hospital-sponsored, accredited program during their senior
year. A Bachelor of Science degree is awarded at the satisfactory completion of all required course work.
Admission to the clinical laboratory science major is
on a competitive basis. Students apply for admission to the
clinical laboratory science program early in the fall semester of the academic year just prior to the beginning of their
professional studies, typically in the junior year. Formal
acceptance into the hospital-sponsored program is based on
the submission of an application for admission to the major,
personal recommendations, review of academic performance,
and interview with the Program Admission Committee. A
minimum grade point average of 2.75 overall as well as in
science and mathematics courses is strongly recommended.
Acceptance into the hospital program is not guaranteed by
the College. The hospital program affiliated with Augsburg
is the Fairview Health Services. The program is accredited
by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory
Sciences (NAACLS), 8410 W. Bryn Mawr, Suite 670, Chicago,
IL 60631; 773-714-8880.
During the clinical component in an accredited hospital
program, students will register for 12.25 credits. The clinical
phase routinely begins in June with anticipated graduation
the following spring. Graduates of the program are eligible to
sit for certification examinations offered by national certification agencies.

Computer Science—CSC
The Department of Computer Science at Augsburg strives
to give students a sound theoretical and practical foundation in computer science. We offer both a BA and a BS major.
The coursework provides students a strong foundation in
computer science, with emphasis on concepts rather than
on applications. We encourage students to strengthen their
coursework by electing an internship or cooperative education experience. Our location in the Twin Cities provides us
with an excellent resource of such experiences for students,
and allows them to add practical applications to their education.

Economics
Economics—ECO
The Department of Economics offers a program that stresses
a strong theoretical background, quantitative analysis, and
an emphasis on national and international issues. Students
who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to
continue their education in a variety of fields or to work successfully in business and government because of the strong
liberal arts emphasis within the major.
The department offers five majors. The economics
major and the applied economics majors lead to careers in
the business world or government. Computational economics provides a liberal arts entry into the field of computer
science. The combined economics/business administration
major allows students great flexibility in order to explore
both fields. Finally, the teaching major in political science/
economics allows secondary education licensure students to
obtain a solid background for teaching economics.
The study of economics provides a firm foundation for
confronting change because it presents a disciplined way to
analyze and make choices. An economics major prepares students for community leadership and leads to a great diversity
of career opportunities including law, teaching, journalism,
private and public international service. Pre-law and potential Master of Business Administration students are especially
encouraged to consider economics as a major or a minor.
Students are able to combine an economics major with
other disciplines such as business administration, international relations, mathematics, management information
systems, political science, history, and area study programs.
Students who are interested in any type of quantitatively
oriented graduate program in economics or in business are
encouraged to either major or minor in mathematics. These
students should also take courses in computer science.
Consult an adviser for specific course suggestions.
Augsburg offers degrees in economics, applied economics, business and economics, computational economics, and economics and political science (education majors
only.) For the economics and applied economics majors, the
capstone experience is Economics 490 Research Methods in
Econometrics. Students in other majors should consult their
adviser for other alternatives.
Internships are recommended. Students must consult
with the department chair and the internship office before
registering for academic credit.
Note: Transfer students must complete at least three
upper division economics courses for a major and two for a
minor. Transfer classes must have been completed in the last
10 years with at least a 2.0 grade.

The Department of Education maintains liberal arts-based
teacher education programs that are accredited by the
Minnesota Board of Teaching and National Council for
Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). These programs lead to recommendation for licensure to the State of
Minnesota for elementary (grades K-6); secondary (grades
5-12) in communication arts/literature, health, mathematics,
and social studies; grades 9-12 in life science, chemistry, and
physics; grades 5-8 in general science; and K-12 specialist
licenses in visual arts, physical education, music, and special
education: EBD and LD. (Note: special education: EBD and
LD are available in WEC only.) Optional endorsements for
an elementary license include preprimary, middle school
mathematics, middle school science, middle school social
studies, or middle school communication arts/literature. The
K-12 Reading Licensure endorsement is also available at the
graduate level to already licensed teachers.
Degree and/or licensure programs are available in both
weekday and weekend/evening formats. Weekend College
degree and licensure programs are limited to elementary,
secondary communication arts/literature and social studies, and K-12 visual arts and special education. Additional
teaching majors are available through the weekday program
and open to weekday and weekend students who can take
courses on a weekday schedule. All prerequisite, elementary
core, and professional education courses except fieldwork
and student teaching are available on a weekend or weekday late afternoon/evening schedule. Fieldwork and student
teaching must be completed during regular weekday hours.
All students must have some time available each term for
field experiences.
A graduate level licensure option is available in weekend/evening format to those already holding a BA degree.
Graduate courses taken for licensure can be applied to a
Master of Arts degree in education. Contact the Education
Department or the Adult and Graduate Admissions Office for
information.
Students in all degree and/or licensure programs must
apply for acceptance into the education department prior to
beginning 300-400 level courses. All students are required to
take the Minnesota Teacher License Exam (MTLE) in Basic
Skills—Reading, Writing, and Math—prior to beginning
300-400 level courses. Additional criteria for acceptance into
the education department are available in the department.
Students complete a semester of full-time student teaching
at the conclusion of their degree and/or licensure programs.
State law requires passing appropriate exams prior to recommendation for licensure: MTLE, Principles of Learning and
Teaching Test, and one or more subject matter tests.
The education department offers non-licensure majors
in elementary education and education studies. Contact the
department for details. The department also offers a special
education minor which is described at the end of this section
after course listings.
All students are assigned an education department
adviser at the outset of coursework. All students are expected
to become knowledgeable of programs and follow through
with department policies. Handbooks outlining programs
and policies are available through the education department.
Student Teaching Abroad
Selected education department students may participate in
an international student teaching program. Those interested
in further information should contact the education department at least one year prior to student teaching. Students
who teach abroad will do part of their student teaching in the
Twin Cities area under direct Augsburg faculty supervision.
Note: Major changes in Minnesota elementary teacher
licensure will be implemented in fall 2010. No one may be
licensed under programs described in catalogs prior to 2010.
Students who entered the College under earlier catalogs
must comply with the requirements of the new licensure
programs.

Engineering
Engineering
Augsburg College has cooperative arrangements with
two universities to allow students to earn a Bachelor of
Arts degree from Augsburg College and an engineering
degree from either the University of Minnesota Institute
of Technology, Minneapolis, 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. Contact Jeff Johnson,
Physics Department, 612-330-1070.
University of Minnesota
The Institute of Technology and Augsburg cooperative
arrangement provides for two dual degree engineering programs:
Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Engineering (BA/BE)
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 Institute 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 necessary
for final acceptance into the program. Formal application
to the Institute of Technology may be completed during the
second semester of the junior year at Augsburg.
Bachelor of Arts/Master of Engineering (BA/ME)
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 Institute of
Technology.
The curriculum is the same as the BA/BE 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 BA/ME 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 Institute of Technology
staff regarding courses that should be taken during the senior
year at Augsburg. Participants in the BA/ME program are not
guaranteed admission to the Institute of Technology.
126
I Augsburg College 2010-2012
Michigan Technological University
This program enables students to receive a Bachelor of Arts
degree from Augsburg and a Bachelor of Engineering degree
from 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 will be considered for admission to the engineering school if they complete course requirements, have
the requisite cumulative grade point average, and are recommended by the engineering adviser of Augsburg College.
Students are also encouraged to explore opportunities
for graduate work at 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.

English
English—ENL
Those who study English believe that an intense concern for
words, ideas, and images helps people understand who they
are and who they can become. Writing helps all of us clarify
and share our thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate the
pains and joys of human existence. Through the study of
English we see life’s complexity, experience life as others do,
and better understand the world in which we live and work.
Students majoring in English have the opportunity to choose
one of four concentrations: Literature, Language and Theory;
Media Writing; Creative Writing; and Secondary Licensure in
Communication Arts/Literature.
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 communication, 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 various cultures.
The Augsburg Department of English integrates its program with the cultural opportunities of this vital urban area.
Augsburg students can walk to assigned or recommended
plays, films, and readings available near the campus. English
majors have the opportunity to use and refine their skills
through working in internships on and off campus, tutoring
English Language Learners (ELL) students, or tutoring in the
writing lab.
Students with an Augsburg English major 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.

Degree and Major Requirements
Choosing a Concentration
The English Literature, Language, and Theory concentration
provides students various approaches to the life-enhancing
study of the written word and visual text. Spotlight courses
focus on specific authors, genres, or themes, and provoke
discovery of new literary experiences. Courses in African
American, Native American, Asian American, and post colonial literatures reconfigure the nature of traditional literary
studies. Survey courses in English, American, and world
literatures are organized by historical periods and provide a
classically structured framework of study. Courses in literary
theory demand the intense and intellectually challenging
engagement of text, culture, and self.
While some of our courses foreground theoretical
approaches to literature and deeply examine race, class, and
gender in the consideration of their subject matter, all of our
courses infuse these concerns into their engagement with
primary works of fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, film,
and drama.
All literature classes involve students in dynamic and
enjoyable literary examination, and are taught by professors who love teaching and who love literature. Our classes
develop and demand the skills of aesthetic receptivity,
perceptive and critical reading, open and clear speaking, and
analytical and engaging writing — skills of the educated and
employable citizen.
The literature, language, and theory concentration
offers courses of study cross-listed with American Indian
Studies, Art, Communication Studies, Film, Theatre Arts, and
Women’s Studies.
The English Writing concentration is for students who
intend to develop professional skills in either creative or
media writing. Over the course of their study, students will
master terminology; understand historical, legal, and ethical
issues relevant to the field; and study the works of established writers and professionals. The writing major emphasizes expanding competencies in observation, research, and
analysis that enable writers to gather material from a variety
of sources and perspectives for their work. Writing majors
will understand the interdisciplinary demands inherent in
creative and media writing (including issues of design) and
will enhance their appreciation of the aesthetic possibilities
inherent in the writing life.
Writing courses are taught by dedicated professors who
are practicing writers themselves. The writing concentration
offers courses of study cross-listed with Art, Communication
Studies, and Theatre Arts.
The Communication Arts/Literature Teacher Licensure
major is for students who seek to be licensed to teach in
Minnesota in communication arts/literature. Students are
encouraged to take courses toward their major during the
first and sophomore years, and to apply for the education
licensure program no later than the spring of their junior
year.
Students in both programs must work with advisers in
the English department and the education department in order
to meet the professional requirements within the education
department as well as the requirements for the major. Should
licensure not be possible, graduation can be achieved through
an English major, which requires at least two additional, specific courses, or through a communication studies major.

Environmental Studies
Environmental studies is the interdisciplinary investigation of
human relations with the natural environment. The program
pursues a multifaceted examination — across the natural
sciences, social sciences, humanities, and professional studies — of the interdependence shared by people and nature.
It provides an understanding of the material world as well as
the ecological, social, and cultural processes and problems
that bind that world together. Through the study of politics,
biology, literature, chemistry, social work, economics, and
history, environmental studies students focus on the most
pressing local, regional, national, and global issues of our day.
Augsburg College’s location in the city offers a particular
opportunity for the close study of complex urban environments. Although many equate environmental issues with
rural areas, most people live in cities. Urban residents shape
nature in innumerable ways, including through energy,
food, and water consumption; transportation; and industrial production. In turn, cities often serve as the settings in
which environmental injustice flourishes. With that in mind,
Augsburg’s environmental studies program fosters the simultaneous study of ecological quality and social justice.
The program provides undergraduate training leading
to a BA or a minor in environmental studies. Upon completion of the program, students will be able to comprehend
ecological processes, recognize the many and varied forms
of nature in the city, distinguish stakeholders’ interests in
policy debates, decipher the context and variety of human
experiences in nature, identify inequities in the access to and
use of natural resources, and articulate responses grounded
in multiple disciplinary insights to current urban environmental challenges. Drawing on their experiences in settings
as diverse as the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, the upper
Mississippi River Valley, and Mexico, graduates of the program pursue vocations in nonprofit organizations, government policy and planning positions, law, education, ministry,
and corporate settings.

An interdisciplinary introduction to current
environmental issues. The course depends on
ecological visions of the world and examines the
connections we share as people living simultaneously in human community and in physical
environments. In examining these connections,

science, biology, economics, literature, sociology, chemistry, and history as well as experiential education and service-learning. The
issues examined in this class—neither remote
nor abstract—exist in our everyday lives, and a
central feature of the course is the application of
knowledge gained in the class to a campus project. (Social and Behavioral Sciences LAF, fall)

History
History—HIS
Department of Education to identify current Minnesota
teacher licensure requirements.
History is to society what memory is to an individual; it
brings to a civilization an understanding of its identity. The
distinguished medievalist J. R. Strayer expressed it this way:
“No community can survive and no institution can function
without constant reference to past experience. We are ruled
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 that makes scattered individuals into a community.”
The study of history enables us to deal more knowledgeably with continuity and change in society. The construction
of an informed sense of our past is a fundamental ingredient in appreciating and understanding the present as well
as anticipating the future. History majors are prepared to be
active and contributing members of their society. The study
of history, which has long held a major role in the liberal arts,
is an entry to elementary and secondary education, graduate
study in many fields, and a wide range of employment opportunities that require abilities in communication, conceptualization, and processing of information.

Honors Program
Honors Program—HON
The Augsburg Honors Program offers an adventurous education where students with a passion for ideas can be their best.
We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students
committed to an exceptional higher education.
Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike any other honors program in the nation because it gives students the
resources and freedom to build their own ideal higher
education. Students have the opportunity to create their
own courses, edit and write for the Augsburg Honors Review
of Undergraduate Scholarship, participate in an intramural
debate league, belong to an Honors House, and learn through
small reading groups, research projects, and travel around the
world.
Each Honors course has been specifically created for
Honors students and includes a challenging “signature experience” such as writing a play, putting great books on trial,
or attending music, theatre, and art perfomances. Honors
courses bring in professors from several different departments so students can learn from talented professors teaching
their specialties.
For information, contact Robert C. Groven, Honors
Program Director, at honors@augsburg.edu.
Honors Program Recognition
Students who finish the Honors Program requirements satisfy
all general education requirements, except those for physical
education and modern language.
Honors students also receive special transcript notation,
special graduation recognition, résumé-building positions,
and special access to academic advising and career options.
Honors Admission Requirements and Academic
Scholarships
Students with a demonstrated record of achievement are
eligible to enter the Augsburg Honors Program. Prospective
students may demonstrate achievement in a variety of ways.
Most students who are admitted have a composite ACT score
of 27 or higher (or a combined SAT score of 1250 or higher),
and a high school G.P.A. of 3.50 or higher. However, students
without these numeric requirements may be eligible if they
have exceptional records of extracurricular activity or other
exceptional experiences. All students are encouraged to
apply. To apply, students should fill out the online application
at www.augsburg/honors.edu.
Students applying for the Honors Program also automatically apply for the College’s highest academic scholarships:
the President’s, Honors Regents’, International President’s,
and Harwick/Agre Scholarships.
Qualifying Advanced Placement, International
Baccalaureate, College in the Schools, and Postsecondary
Option courses may satisfy Honors Program requirements,
and/or be granted college credit. Contact Academic Advising
or the Honors program director for further information.

Program. The Scholars Program allows students to enroll in
Honors courses, join an Honors House, and participate in
all Honors Program activities. In order to graduate with the
Scholars Program transcript designation, students must join
an Honors House and participate in required meetings, maintain an overall GPA of 3.50 or higher, and take HON 340,
HON 490, and two other full-credit Honors courses.
Honors Co-Curricular Activities
Honors Houses: All Honors students must belong to an
Honors House for the purpose of receiving academic advising
and program information. All Honors students are required
to attend mandatory meetings of the Honors Program or
of their Houses. These meetings are necessary for advising,
information, and governance. When students enter the Honors
Program they choose to join one of the four Honors Houses:
The Crockett Scholars House coordinates scholarship,
research, fellowship, major award or prize opportunities, and
graduate school placement for all Honors students. Crockett
House also organizes events related to scholarship such as
College scholarship events.
The Pike Stewards House coordinates public relations,
job placement, and fundraising opportunities for all Honors
students. Pike House also organizes events for alumni and
fundraising.
The Griffin Citizens House coordinates recruiting, social
activities, admission and scholarship applications, and the
Honors website opportunities for all Honors students. Griffin
House also organizes events for recruiting and socializing,
such as banquets, parties, and high school recruiting trips.
The Hesser Servants House coordinates service-learning,
social justice, experiential learning, and political activity
opportunities for all Honors students. Hesser House also

• HON 240: Science, Technology, and Citizenship (satisfies
natural sciences and mathematics lab LAF)
Student-Created Learning Experiences (SCLE)
Honors students may learn through established courses or
through student-created learning experiences. These student
created experiences may substitute for Honors curricular
requirements, or may simply enrich a student’s education.
Such student-created experiences may count toward requirements in majors and satisfy Honors requirements, or simply
be an elective course.
Student-created learning experiences may take almost
any form. Some possible forms include:
• Student-created courses (created in collaboration with
faculty)
• Full course (10-20 students)
• Reading Groups (2-9 students)
• Individual Reading and Examination (individual study)
• Student/Faculty Research (may be one or many students)
Process: A student-created learning experience may be proposed by any Honors student or by any Augsburg faculty or
staff person. The interested student should speak with either
an Honors Council Member or the Honors Program Director.
Next, a proposal should be drafted in accord with the Honors
student-created learning experience form. Finally, the
proposal should be submitted by the student to the Honors
Program Director who will carry the proposal to the Honors
Council for review.

Languages and
Cross-Cultural Studies
The Department of Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies
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
and that familiarity with the language and culture of another
people is an essential step in the development of a truly
global perspective.
The department offers language, literature, and culture
courses leading to majors in French, German, Norwegian,
and Spanish, as well as an interdisciplinary major in CrossCultural studies. Introductory courses in Ojibwe, Farsi,
and American Sign Language are offered at Augsburg, and
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.
Knowledge of several languages, perhaps combined with
the study of linguistics, is essential in preparing for careers in
second-language education and translation, but also represents a valuable special qualification in many other professions. Students anticipating careers in international business,
law, social work, the diplomatic corps, the health professions,
or the ministry may wish to take a second major or minor
in languages. In addition, a minor in languages is a valuable
research tool for those intending to pursue graduate study in
most academic disciplines.
