A GREETING
FROM THE
On behalf of the entire college community, I welcome you to Augsburg
College. It is a pleasure to introduce the College to prospective students and
to use thisopportunity to welcome new and returning students.
Augsburg has earned a reputation as an affordable, quality liberal arts
college of the church. The mission of the College, its academic programs and
its metropolitanlocation attract a wide variety of students, a diversity which
is actively encouraged. Whether from a small town, a large city or another
country, all students enjoy the sense of community here at Augsburg.
The College continues to grow at a mnarkable pace, building on a tradition
of excellence in its programs, faculty, students and facilities. It is a place
where community, national and world leaders meet to discuss issues and
ideas.
I invite you to become part of this tradition of excellence -Augsburg is an
exciting and challenging place to prepare for your future.
I look forward to meeting you on campus.
President
Augsburg College is grounded in traditions -the traditions of its founders,
of the church and of higher education in the liberal arts. From this framework springs a dynamic, challenging and evolving institution that rises to
the challenges of today's -and tomorrow's -changing world.
Augsburg is committed to educating the whole person, encouragingand
respecting diversity and serving the larger community. Through education,
understanding and service, Augsburg faculty, staff and students can affect
the future in positive ways.
The phrase, 'Think globally, act locally, rings true at Augsburg. The
College's location in the heart of the Twin Cities provides rich opportunities
for experiential education, volunteer service, internships and cultural
enrichment. In a sense, the cities are an extended campus for Augsburg
students.
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 to the Mission of the College:
To dmelopfuture ltnders of service to the world by proznding high quality educational oj?prtunifies which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and
values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by
an intentionally diverse campus community.
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in
America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in
Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September, 1869, in
Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872.The first college
students were enrolled in 1874 and the first graduation was in 1879.
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 "college1' 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 over one hundred years.
Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist" college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's
second president (18761907), 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 independentcongregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity.
This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the
small Lutheran body. But the college division was still important primarily
as an attachment to the seminary.
This attitude began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup,
Jr. became President He worked to develop college departmentswith an
appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be
ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922under the leadership of
Gerda Mortensen, Dean of Women. She spent the next 52 years at the
College as a teacher and administrator.
The College's mission assumed a double character -ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937,
Augsburg elected Bernhard Quistensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher,
to be pmident (1938-1%2).His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles
made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life.
After World War JI, 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.
Augsburg added departmentsessential to a liberal arts college, offering a
modern college program based on general education requirements and
elective majors. With curriculum change came a long effortto become
accredited.
The College reached full accreditation in 1954, although many alumni had
entered graduate schools and teaching positions long before that time.
A study in 1962 definedthe College's mission now as serving the good
society as a whole first and the interests of the Lutheran Fnx Church
second. The Seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther
Northwestern Seminary)in St. Paul in 1963.
President Oscar A. Anderson (19&1980) continued Augsburg'semphasis
on involvement with the city. He wanted to reach out b non-traditional
student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all people.
During his years of leadership the College became a vital and integral part
of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen
Tower, Urness Tower, the College Center, Ice Arena and Murphy Place.
Dr. Charles S. Anderson has led the College since 1980.He guides
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.
Augsburg continues to grow under his leadership. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting Weekend College and three
Master of Arts degree programs, hosting national and international figures
at College-sponsoredforums and events, increased accessibility and the
addition of the Foss Center for Worship, Drama and Communication.
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the
founders who believed:
An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community
and church;
Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension
in order to send out productive, creative and successful citizens;
The city, with all its excitement, challenges and diversity is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution set in the heart of a great metre
politan center. There are now more than lO,W Augsburg alumni. In a world
that has changed much since those first days of the College, Augsburg still
sends out graduates who make a differencewhere they live and work.
Augsburg's campus is located in the heart of the Twin Cities, surrounding
Murphy Square, the first of 155parks in Minneapolis, the "City of Lakes."
The University of Minnesota West Bank campus and one of the city's largest
medical centers -Riverside Medical Center -are adjacent to the campus,
with the Mississippi River and the Seven Comers theater district just a few
blocks away. Downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul, home to a myriad of
arts, sports, entertahment and recreation opportunities, are minutes west
and east via Interstate 94, which forms the southern border of the campus,
or on bus routes that also conned with the suburbs. (See map in back)
Reaching the Twin Cities is easy. Most airlines provide daily service to
Minneapolis-St. Paul Internationalm r t and bus or train connections can
be made from all areas of the United States.
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the basis of race,
d,
national or ethnic origins, age, marital status, sex or handicap as
required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of
the Rehabilitation Ad of 1973, as amended, in its admissionspolicies,
educational programs, activities and employment practices. Inquiries
regarding compliance may be directed to the coordinatorslisted in the
directory in the back of this catalog, or to the Director of the Minnesota
Department of Human Rights, Bremer Tower, Seventh Place at Minnesota

Financing higher education could be the most significant investment a
person or family makes in a lifetime. So,proper planning and wise choices
are important, not only in choosing a college, but also in the methods used
to pay for it. Augsburg College, through its Office of Student Financial
Services, will help students and their families with both monetary and
advisory assistanceto protect access to a quality education in spite of
i n m i n g costs.
Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg is a combination of
scholarships,grants, loans and part-time work opportunities. The College
cooperates with federal, state, church and private agencies in pmviding
various aid programs. For the 1989-'90 academic year approximately 83
percent of all students at Augsburg received xholarships, grants, loans and
part-time employment totalling over $11,500,000 from all aid sources.
The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the
student and family. Financial aid is intended to supplement student and
family resources.
The Family Financial Statement (FFS)of the American College Testing
Program (ACT) or the Financial Aid Form (FAF) of the College Scholarship
Service (CSS)helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student
is eligible. This analysis estimatesthe amount a student and family can be
expected to provide for college expenses, taking into account such family
financial factorsas current income, assets, number of dependents, other
educational expenses, debts, retirement needs and special considerations.

assigned a freshman adviser and chooses a major adviser. In this close
interaction, faculty act as both mentors and models for students.

EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION
PROGRAMS
Internships, Cooperative Education and Service-Learning
Through Internships, Cooperative Education and Community Service,
Augsburg students integrate and expand their liberal artseducation by
embracing the worlds of work and service. Each work or community service
placement is closely related to a student's major, course work or career
interest. Augsburg's Internship, Cooperative Education and Community
Service programs link employers, community organizationsand the
academic program in a way that enriches and expands a student's educational experience and personal development. An underlying assumption is
that a liberal arts education is an effective preparation for careers and
citizenship. The integration of "knowingand doing" adds breadth and
depth to the liberal artscurriculum and assists students in making more
informed academic, career and personal decisions.
The College's metropolitan location makes possible a wide range of opportunities. Students have gained valuable learning experiencesin small and
midsize companies, large corporations, non-profit organizations, schools,
government agencies and community-based organizations.
Academic Internships
An academic internship is a carefully planned work-based learning experience where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning
objectives. A learning agreement plan, negotiated with a faculty supervisor
and work supervisor, outlining the internship objectives, strategies and
evaluation methods is required. 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. Upper Division Internships
are numbered 399 and Lower Division Internships are numbered 199.
Registration for Internshipsconsists of the following steps:
1. Obtain the Internship registration permission form from the Internship
and Cooperative Education Office and secure the signaturesof the faculty
supervisor and Director of Internshipsand Cooperative Education.
2. Register for a 199 or 399 Internship during the registration period. The
signed permission form must be tumed in at the time of registration.
(Students may preregister without a placement seared, but a suitable
internship must be found by the end of the registration or drop/add
period.)
3. A learning agreement (forms are available from the Internship and
Cooperative Education office) must be negotiated with the faculty member
responsible for grading the experience and the work supervisor. The
completed original is turned in to the Internship and Cooperative Education
Office.
Internships are available in all majors and can be taken during a semester
(or Weekend College trimester),interim or summer session. For extension of
an internship beyond one term see the section of the catalog under grading.
A maximum of four courses of Internship may count toward the 35 courses
required for the degree.
Cooperative Education
CooperativeEducation is a college supported and monitored, paid, worklearning experience that is closely related to a student's major or career
objective. The goal is to combine theory with practice.
Students also earn money to help defray educational costs while gaining
important on-the-job experience.Job placements typically are part-time
during the academic year and/or full-time summer. Co-op jobs are flexible
and can begn and end anytime. Co-op Ed is not aedited in and of itself,but
a nonaedit CooperativeEducation transcript entry is available during the
academic terms the student is employed. Co-op Ed students are encouraged
to complete at least one Internship for credit in conjunction with their
Cooperative Education participation. Co-op Ed is available to Augsburg
students who have completed their freshman year and are in good academic standing.
Service-Learning
Augsburg's ServiceL.eaming program combines response to human needs
in the community with a conscious awareness and understandingof issues,
reflection and educationalgrowth. Augsburg students learn from and about
the community and society in which they live by participating in orientation
sessions, direct servicelearningactivities and seminarsor class discussions.
Through direct service, such as volunteering at a homeless shelter, tutoring
building housing for low income people or working with environmental
groups, students engage in a dynamic and interactive educational approach
which employs reciprocal learning between the student(s1and the community.
The Service-I-eamhg Program works with community organizations and
organizes @c
projects to enhance student involvement and also assists
with and supports the integration of service-learninginto departmental
courses. The program works closely with the student directed Augsburg
LINK program and campus ministry.
Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative for adult
students who work or have other commitments during the week. It is a
means by which men and women may earn a college degree, complete a
second mapr or pursue a personal interest or skill.
Weekend College classes meet on alternate weekends. There are three
trimester terms during the early September through June academic year.
Students may take from one to four classes each term.
Although the Augsburg Weekend College program involves the same
courses as the day school program, the cumculum is limited to selected
liberal arts courses and the followingmajors: Business Administration
(specializationsin accounting, finance, international business, management,
and marketing), Communication (concentrationsin human relations,
marketing communications, public relations/advertising, and supervisory
management), Computer Science, Economics, Elementary and Secondary
Education, English, Management Information Systems, Nursing, Psychology, Religion and Social Work.
Augsburg College offers three graduate degree programs: the Master of
Arts in Leadership, the Master of Arts in Education-Leadership and the
Master of Social Work
Designed for working adults, the Augsburg Graduate Program operates on
alternate Saturdays and alternate Thursday evenings. There are thnx
trimester terms during the early September through June academic year.
The Master of Arts in Leadership program is based on the subject matter
and approaches of the traditional liberal arts.This cross-disciplinary
program directs its acadanic content and pedagogical approaches at situations, issues and problems relevant to orpnimtional leaders. AugsbUrg's
program recognizes that today's leaders need broad-spectrum abilities to
provide them with a more comprehensive understandingof their world.
The Master of Arts in Education-Leadershipprogram values the role that
good educators play in the lives of students, and operates from the belief
that educators need to exercise leadership within the workplace without
relinquishingthe role of teacher. The program promotes leadership as a
process, promotes productivity within and beyond the organization and
works toward progress.
The Master of Social Work at Augsburg offerstwo concentrations:Family
Practice and Program Development, Policy and Administration. In the
Family Practice concentration, students concentrate on empowering the
family nurturing systems from a developmental and holistic perspective.
The Program Development, Policy and Administration concentration has
been developed in response to the growing demand for creative leadership
and administration of policies and servicesthat respond to human need.
Both concentrations are founded on the asumptions that analysis of complex social issues and solutionsmust be based on solid research, and that
the world is interdependent in all areas, includinghuman needs and the
services to address them.
These programs bring working adults to the campus. They are complemented by the College's Cooperative Education Program (begun in 1984)
that places Augsburg students into paid work experiences.
OrFmPRContinuing Education Program
Augsburg College offers selected courses through ContinuingEducation.
Inquiries should be addressed to the Office of the Associate Dean for
Graduate and Special Programs.
Canadian Program
The Canadian Program was inaugurated in 1985 with an endowment from
the Mildred Joel Bequest for Canadian Studies. The program supports
s p e d events and conferences as well as student internships and faculty
activity in Canadian studies. The goals of the program include community
involvement, increased awarenessof the importance of Canadian/U.S.
relations, and provision of opportunities to learn directly from Canadians
through visits and exchanges.
Milda K. Hedblom, Canadian Program Coordinator
Center for Global Education
The Center for Global Education, founded at Augsburg in 1985 facilitates
crosscultural learning experiences which prepare people to think more
critically about global issues and to work toward a more just and sustainable world. The Center's programs explore a diversity of viewpoints and are
grounded in the perspectives of the poor and of others struggling for justice
and human dignity. Students can participate in semester abroad programs,
as well as Weekend College and Graduate Program courses offered at the
Center's program sites in Latin America, the Middle East, Southern Africa,
and the Asia/Pacific region.
A student must be registered for a course to receive credit for it.
Full-time students normally register for four courses per semester and one
course in the Interim. Students registered for three or more courses in a
semester are classified as full-time students. To register for more than 4 5
courses, students must contact the Registrar's office to petition the Committee on Student Standing for permission.
Although a student may register up to five days after the semester b e p s ,
registration is encouraged at the regularly scheduled time. Special fees are
charged for late registration. Special fees also are charged for cancellingor
adding courses or changing grading option after the first five days of a
semester.
A joint class schedule is published each Spring by the Associated Colleges of
the Twin Cities, listing courses and their location at the five colleges for the
followingsemesters. As some courses are offeredonly in alternate years,
students should also consult with Departmental advisers when planning
their class registrations.
Separate catalogs of courses are published by the Interim Office, Summer
School Office,Weekend College Office and Graduate Program Office for
those sessions at Augsburg, listing registration times and procedures.
Specificinformationon registration and help with registration on another
campus are available from these offices:

courses in the fall. All currently enrolled students may preregister during
the fall for the Spring and during the spring for the Fall terms.
Class Confirmation
All students must confirm their registration at the begnning of each semester and complete financialarrangements.
Students who do not confirmtheir registration before the first day of classes
(unless s p e d arrangementshave been made) will lose all classes. They
may register and confinn during the first five days, but special late fees a=
assessed and added to their account.
Withdrawal from College
Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered
because this results in a failing grade on the official record. Cancellationof
courses or withdrawal from College must be done in the Registrar's Office.
Withdrawal from College cannot occur during final examination week
unless a petition is approved by the Student StandingCommittee. Withdrawal from College and resulting adjustments in accounts an? effective as
of the date the completed Withdrawal from College form is returned to the
Registrar's Office.
Leave of Absence
Students may request a leave of absence for academic or personal reasons.
A request form must be picked up from the Office of the Dean of Students.
It must be signed by the Dean of Students, or authorized representative, and
by the Dean of the College, or authorized representative. The completed
form must be turned in to the Registrar's Office.
A leave of absence may be granted for one term or one academic year. If an
extension of a leave of absence is needed, it should be requested in the same
manner as the original leave of absence, and the completed form must be
turned in to the Registrar's Office before the expiration of the previous leave
of absence, or readmission will be required.
Students on leave are responsible for keeping the Registrar's Office informed of their mailing address. All deadlines for financial aid and housing
must be observed by returning students. A leave of absence does not defer
repayment of loans or extend incomplete deadlines.
The responsibility for seeing that all degree requirements are satisfied rests
with the student. Academic Advisers, Department Chairpersons, the
Associate Academic Dean and the Registrar are available for counsel and
assistance in program planning.
Each student must apply for graduation at the time specified by the Registrar. Application forms are available in the Registrar's Office.
AU degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the

Rationale for the Augsburg General Education Curriculum:
The Augsburg faculty has designed a cohesive academic program incorporating general education, major courses, supportingcourses and elective
courses leading to the bachelor's degree. The core of the Augsburg curriculum is found in the liberal artsas expressed in the General Education
component of the college curriculum.
Augsburg, in its Mission Statement, declares the College exists 'To develop
future leaders of service to the world by providing high quality educational
opportunities which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and
values of the Christian church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting,
and by an intentionally diverse campus community." One way which the
College seeks consciously to realize this Mission is through its General
Education curriculum, which Augsburg has divided under two headings:
liberal artsperspectives and skills.
The term "perspective" assumes that not only are we engaged in the search
for truth, but that this requires the searcher to consider questions from a
variety of viewpoints, each of which has something valuable to contribute to
the whole. These perspectives are not strictly identified with traditional
disciplines, but are understood in ways which encourage multi-disciphq
reflections on the questions at issue. They combine concerns about content
with those of process and approach, directed ultimately to making the
student a more effective learner and participant in society.
The following requirements reflect the way in which Augsburg has chosen
to view the liberal arts. Two of the four features of the Mission Statement are
embodied in the General Education Perspectives: 'The Character and
Mission of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith and the City." These
Perspectives emphasize that the College's affiliationwith the Lutheran
Church,its insistence on the value of howing the approach which derives
from the Christian roots of the College and its location in the city, deserve
s p e d considerationin Augsburg's educational program.
The third feature-that Augsburg is a liberal arts institution -is also
emphasized in the other Liberal Arts Perspectives. Certain dimensions of
human life -of what it is to be human -form the core of the required
liberal arts experience. These overall perspectives on what it is to be human
can themselves be studied from the vantage points of the various academic
disciplines.
Students need to learn about themselves, about what it is to be a person.
Hence, the Perspective on Human Identity. But the person exists in both a
social community and a natural world. Hence, the importance of the
Perspectives on the Social World and the Natural World. Because the way in
which we understand ourselves derives largely from our Western heritage,
students need to learn about and reflect on sigruficant aspects of this
heritage. Thus, the Perspective on the Western Heritage. At the same time,
to focus on the West,alone would be ethnocentric:We live in a global
society. Hence the Perspective on Inter-CulturalAwareness. Attention to
moral values is found not only in the Perspective on the Character and
Mission of the College: the Christian Faith, but throughout the other
perspectives as well. The Perspective on Aesthetic Values enables students
to foms upon aesthetic works created by themselves or others, which
convey fundamentalinsights, express beauty and enhance life.
Finally, the Mission Statement emphasizes that we are concerned with
academic excellence. This has a number of features, including the way we
teach all the courses in General Education. Beyond this, academic excellence
presupposes that students have the requisite skills to do college-level work.
The General Education Requirements are couched in a context which pays
attention to the skills of both incoming and graduating students. Entry-level
skill requirements in a number of critical areas, including reading, writing,
quantitative reasoning and critical thinking, will be assessed and help given
to students who need it. Graduation-level skills are also emphasized, so that
students not only maintain but develop their skills during their Augsburg
experience.
The General Education Requirements provide a coherent way to address
the Mission of Augsburg College. They are not the only way, neither do
they guarantee that students who graduate from Augsburg possess the
desired knowledge and character traits. What they do is provide a coherent
description of the context in which we liberally educate students, a clear
statement of expected outcomes and an opportunity for students to see and
understand the complexity of what it is to be human and Christian in an
urban setting.
Entry Level Skills Requirements
The entry level skills tests are inventory assessments in:
reading
writing
word processing
critical thinking
quantitative reasoning (along with Math Placement)
Placement in writing courses and math courses is determined by these
inventories.
Freshmen (all students entering Augsburg with fewer than seven college
credit courses) and Sophomore (entering 1992-'93 or after) Transfer
Students:
Take entry level skills tests and satisfy requirements.
If skill levels are deficient, students will be enrolled in the appropriate
course or advised on preparation for retaking the respective tests. Students
are q i i r e d to take the assessments before registering for the second term
and to have demonstrated removal of deficiencies by the end of their first
year at Augsburg.
Effective Writing or its equivalent is required. Students who do not satisfy
the entry level skill in writing will be required to take Developmental
Writing before Effective Writing. Freshmen must complete the writing
requirement before the begnmng of their Sophomoreyear.
Students who pass the writing assessment inventory at the advanced
levels (to be determined by the English Department)will not be required to
take Effective Writing.
Those with demonstrated word processing skills; e.g. recent verifiable
work experience, are exempt from the word processing inventory.
Students who have college credit for a critical thinking or logic course are
exempt from the critical thinking inventory.
Students with an acceptable transfer mathematics course are exempt from
the quantitative reasoning inventory, and will be given information about
taking the Math Placement Test based upon previous mathematics courses.
Freshman and Sophomore (entering 1992-'93 or after) transfer students
will be required to satisfy all the graduation skill course requirements.
Junior and Senior Transfer Students
Entering Junior and Senior transfer students (entering 1993294 or after) are
I
exempt from word processing, reading and critical thinking assessments.
Those who have not taken an Effective Writing course or a college level
mathematics course must take entry level tests in writing and/or quantitative reasoning. If they do not achieve exemption from those mpirements,
they must satisfy the requirement in those areas.
Those who have a transfer mathematics course accepted for college credit
by Augsburg College are exempt from the quantitative reasoning inventory
and will be given information about taking the Math Placement test based
upon previous college mathematics courses.
Junior and Senior transfers (entering 1994'95 or after) are required to
satisfy all the graduation skill course requirements, except that only one
writing component course is required.
1
Graduation Level Skills
General Education includes enhancement of certain skills during the years
in college. Skills related to writing, critical thinking spealung and quantitative reasoning are deliberatecomponents of certain courses. Completion of
the requisite courses with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P is required for
graduation. Students are required to have two courses with writing components and one course each with critical thinking, speaking and quantitative
reasoning components. These courses can simultaneously satisfy skill
requirements and graduation requirements for the major or general education perspectives.
1
Lifetime Spohs
Demonstrated proficiency in two different Lifetime Sports is required.
Lifetime sports are no-credit courses and are not included in the 35course
requirement.
The General Education Liberal Arts Perspectives have the primary goal of
providing the basis for begmmng to understand what it means to be a
human being at this time. The goals of the Perspectives are achieved
through a variety of courses which have been approved as meeting the
criteria established for each Perspechve. Although courses approved for
each Perspective meet the General Education requirements, not every
course meets all the goals of each Perspective.
Students will choose from a list of courses meeting the Liberal Arts Perspectives, available from the Office of the Registrar. These choices are controlled
by the following policies:
A student will choose one course from each category.
No single course can fulfill the requirementsin two or more categories.
No student will be permitted to count more than three courses from the
same department in meeting perspective requirements.
No student may count more than one course from the same department in
meeting the requirements of any single perspective except:
1.Up to three courses in religion may be used to meet the perspective,
"The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith."
2. Up to two courses in a year-long sequence (biology, chemistry or
physics) may be used to meet the perspective, "The Natural World."
3. Up to two courses of the same foreign language may be used to meet
part of the perspective, "Intercultural Awareness."
Perspective: The Character and Mission of Augsburg College:
The Christian Faith
This Perspective focuses on Augsburg as a College of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America. As a college of the Church, Augsburg accepts as
a basis for its educationalprogram the doctrines of the Christian faith as
~vealedin Scriptureand the creeds affirmed by the Lutheran Church. It
consciously affirms that all students should reflect upon the Christian Scrip
tures, theological concepts, ethical values, their own faith and values and

beliefs.
3. Religious concepts and practices found in religious traditions outside
the Christian faith.

defended and the role values play in the issues that confront our society.
Three courses are required to meet this Perspective except for the following
1. Junior transfer students will be required to take two courses in the
Christian Faith Perspective while registered at Augsburg; and
2. Senior transfer students will be required to take one course in the
Christian Faith Perspective while registered at Augsburg.
Perspective: The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The City

required in which students critically reflect upon ways their own cultural
biases operate when confronting other cultures. They should become better
able to communicate with persons of other cultural backgrounds partially
by being introduced to a specific culture other than European or mainstreamNorth American cultures.
In addition, students are to gain entry into another culture by learning to
speak and read a language other than their native language. For this part of

relation to the physical world. Their active role as observers, explorers, and
moral agents will be emphasized. Sufficient technical training in scientific
knowledge, concepts and methods will be provided to equip students for
critical and intelligent participation in public debates on technical issues.
From this Perspective, students should gain an understandingof and
critically reflect on:
1.Selected aspects of the natural world.
2. The characteristics, strengthsand limitations of science and the scientific method, and the complex relations between data and theories, at
least in part through practical laboratory experience.
3. The history of science, its relations to other historical/social develop
ments and the variety of ways persons and civilizationshave approached
the natural world.
4. The relations and differencesbetween science and theology; the
mutual influences of technology, values, and the natural/physical
environment; the limits imposed on humans by the natural environment,
and the interconnectedness of all living systems.
5. The importance of symbol systems such as mathematics in attempting
to describe, classify, and model objects and events.
Two courses are required to meet this Perspective.
Student achievement in courses is measured primarily by final examinations. Shorter tests, written papers, oral reports and other types of evaluation also are used.
Most courses are offered with grading options -traditional grading on a
4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system, in which P means a grade of
2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Students
who chose 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".
For transfer students, P-graded courses do not count in the requirement
that 14traditionally graded courses be earned at Augsburg in order to be
considered for graduation with distinction.
See P/N limitationsunder Graduation Requirements.
Certain courses are offered on one grading system only. Sociology 265 and
several Interim courses are graded only on the P/N grading system. Some
education courses are graded only on the P/N system or only on the
traditional system. English 111is graded P or N, or 2.0-4.O/N. Some other
courses are graded only PI 1.0 or N. Chemistry Seminar and Lifetime Sports
are graded 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. A fee is charged for any changes
after the first five days of classes.
Explanation of Grades
Number grades are used with these definitions:
4.0
3.5
3.0
2.5
2.0
1.5
1.0
0.5
0.0
Achieves highest standards of excellence
Achieves above basic course standards
Meets basic standards for the course
Performancebelow basic course standards
Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course)
Grades of P 8ass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point
average. A grade of P represents work at or above the 2.0 level; N represents
work at the 1.5 or below level.
An incomplete grade may be given only in the case of extreme emergency.
To receive an incomplete grade, a student must receive permission of the
instructor of the course; must file a form stating the reasons for the request,
the work q u i d to complete the course, the plan and date for completing
the work, and comments from the instructor; and must gain the approval of
the R e t r a r . Ifpermission is granted, the necessary work must be completed in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and
filing of a grade before the final day of the following semester. If the work is
not completed by that date, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0.
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 is given by the instructor to indicate that the study
is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to
communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory
progress is being maintained. The Registrar's Office will automatically
continue the registration in response to an X grade. A final grade will be
issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated
(but not longer than one year). An instructor reserves the discretion of not
giving an X where satisfactoryprogress is not demonstrated. Withdrawal
from college or dropping these continued courses will terminate their
registration Under this circumstance, a re-registration as 1X by the student
would be necessary if done during registration periods within one year of
initial registration; if done after one year, a new registration would be
necessary.
A course in which a grade of 0,05,1.0,15, N, I or X has been received may
be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned
may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses
taken and grades earned each term remain on the academic record. Only the
credits and grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses,
are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average.
A course is given a grade of W when it is dropped after the deadline for
dropping classes without a notation on the record.
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by
registering for Audit (V).Full-time students may audit a course without
charge. The charge for part-time students is listed under College Costs.
Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two
weeks of the beguuung of the term to determine expectations, attendance
and any other requirement. If expestations have been met, the course will be
listed on the tramaipt as having been audited. If expectations have not been
met, the course will be listed with a grade of W (Withdrawn).
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (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 a a d e mints - 2 (P or TransferCourses)
Courses taken - 8 or Transfer Courses)
Classification
Students are classified in August and at the end of the Fall and Interim
terms.
Sophomores-Seven courses completed with at least 14 grade points.
Juniors-16 courses completed with at least 32 grade points.
Seniors-25 courses completed with at least 50 grade points.
Advanced Placement Program Test
Advanced placement in courses beyond the begnning level is granted to
students with scores of 3,4, and 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement
Program Test Additional credit or placement is at the discretion of the
department. Inquiries should be addressed to the Office of the Registrar.
International Baccalaureate Program
Coursesearned from the International BaccalaureateProgram will be
considered by the College for advanced placement and appropriate d
Departmental guidelines are available from the Office of the Regstrar.

Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program
Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many
life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic program of a liberal
arts college. The APL program (Assessment of Previous Learning) at
Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous learning other
than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be
presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a
baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit
recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential
criteria: 1)it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and 2) it can be objectively demonstrated either
by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation.
The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students
may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The
following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment:
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)-This is a series of standardized tests which have been developed by the College Board and are offered to
students for a small fee at regional testing centers. (The regional testing center for
this area is the University of Minnesota.) Students who score at or above the 65th
percentile on a subject e&nination may receive academic credit for that subject at
Augsburg College. Additional information about CLEP tests is available from the
Office of the Registrar.
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 instrument available for s u b j j area in question.
There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the
exam.
The Student StandingCommittee approves the student's request to take the
exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a pass/no credit basis only,
and there is a charge per exam.
The Credit Assessment Program (CAP)-This is a credit assessment alternative in
which a faculty committee completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio
submitted by the student. The faculty committee is composed of the Registrar and
two faculty members from fields of study diredly related to the student's previous
learning. Informational meetings and consultation are provided for students who
wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment. This may
include a personal meeting with the CAP Committee. In completing the evaluation
of a student's previous learning, the CAP Committee applies the followingcriteria:
There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous
learning experiencethat involved prescribed and/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 four
courses of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA
of at least 2.5. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or
fewer courses remain for graduation. There is an application deposit to initiate the
credit assessment process, and a charge for each semester credit applied to the
student's transcript if credit is approved.
Transaipt credit will be granted on the basis of semester credits, and the total
number of credits granted will be divided by four to determine the number of
courses applied to graduation. These credits will be recorded with the course
number of CAP 2xx. Application of this credit toward distribution requirements
I
and academic majors and minors may be subsequently addressed by the departments involved in response to a formal request by the student.
Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning -While Augsburg College
recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, thii learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based
liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of nine courses (onefourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is obtained through
previous experiential learning. In compiling the nine courses of credit for previous
experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the three assessment
processes available in the APL program: CLEP exams, departmental exams and
credit granted through CAP Committee assessment.
English as a Second Language (ESL) Program
Students who declare a language other than English to be their primary
language, or who are citizens of another country, must take the ESL placement test in conjunction with the English writing placement test at orientation. Students' placement in ESL, Developmental Writing or Effective
Writing will be detenriined by their scores on the Michigan test (8@90 range
for exemption from ESL) and by a writing sample.
Near the end of each term of the English as a Second Language 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
ESL course work is required. Usually a score of 80 to 90 and a course grade
of 35 or 4.0 will fulfill the student's ESL requirement.
If students do not meet the ESL requirement, they will remain in ENG 217/
218 until they meet the criteria stated above. Academic credit will normally
be granted for no more than two courses.
Students who fulfill the ESL requirement, by examination or by course
completion, have completed the foreign language requirement for graduation.
Academic Progress, Probation and Dismissal
The College requires that students maintain the following cumulative grade
point averages (GPA):
Freshman -A student who has taken fewer than seven courses with a
cumulative GPA of 1.6 or higher
Sophomore-A student who has taken fewer than 16courses with a cumulative GPA of 1.7 or higher
Junior-A student who has taken fewer than 25 courses with a cumulative
GPA of 1.9 or higher
Senior -A student who has taken 25 or more courses with a cumulative
GPA of 2.0 or higher.
It should be noted that a minimum GPA of 2.0 is q u i r e d for graduation
with certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA.
Students whose academic achievement falls below these guidelineswill
either be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term, or will be
continued on probation or will be dismissed from the College. In addition, a
freshman who receives two zero grades or a sophomore who receives three
zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, d i s
missal fromthe College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the
Committee on Student Standing. Evidence of the studenfs commitment to
academic progress is the major considerationin deciding whether or not to
dismiss a student. Studentswho have a poor academic record may be
strongly advised to withdraw beforethe end of a term. Those on probation
who voluntarily withdraw from the College, as well as those who are
dismissed, must have special permission to re-enroll.
Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA
reaches the minimum levels stated above. Studentsplaced on probation as
freshmen for having earned two zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earned
additional zero grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Students
placed on probation as sophomores for having earned three zero grades
may be removed from probation if their classificationchanges to junior and
their cumulative GPA reaches 1.9.
The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the
guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he or she may appeal
the decision within 10 days to the Committee on Student Standing.
Dean's List
The Dean's List is compiled after each semester, listing students whose
grade point average for a semester is 3.5 or better, based on a minimum of
three full courses, or equivalent, for a weekday schedule student or two full
courses, or equivalent, for a Weekend College student, graded on the
traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for
credit. If permission is given, an announcement is sent to the hometown
newspaper of each student on the Dean's List.
/
Graduation with Distinction
Graduation with distinctionis determined as follows:
Summa cum laude -3 8 to 4.0 cumulative GPA
M a p cum laude -3.6 up to but not including 38 cumulativeGPA
Cum laude -3 3 up to but not including 3.6 cumulativeGPA
To quahfy for graduation with distinction, transfer students must have
completed two years (14 traditionally graded courses) of work at Augsburg.
Veterans of Military Service
Augsburg is appmveci by the State Approving Agency for Veterans Education. Veterans should consult with the Office of the Registrar about completion of the enrollment certificate and the forwarding of other information to
the Veterans Administration.
Augsburg's standards of academic progress are given in this Catalog.When
a veteran or eligible person fails to maintain these p&bed
standards of
progress, the College will so inform the Veterans Administration. It is the
responsibility of each veteran to report any change in registration and/or
academic load to the Office of the Registrar, as it is for all students.
If less than full-time, veterans will be referred to the State Approving
Agency after any period of two consecutive terms if they did not earn the
equivalent for which they had been certified.
A non-punitive grade which brings a veteran's academic load for the term
below three courses will be reported to the Veterans Administration.
Veterans will need to meet the requirementsof the Veterans Administration
regarding repayment of educational assistance funds received.

Class Schedule
Courses listed are subject to change. In general, classes are offered Fall and/
or Spring terms. The ACTC Schedule of Classes published each spring lists
offerings and locations for Fall and Spring terms.
Since some courses are offered in alternate years, it is important that the
student review major requirementsand course offeringswith an adviser to
ensure that all requirements can be met.

hours. Most courses meet for three 6Gminute periods or two 90-minute
periods a week, in addition to laboratories.
Numbering
Coursesnumbered 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 freshmen, 200s for sophomores, 300s for juniors,
and 400sfor seniors.

Am DETT~~ENT
(ART)
Art is important as a field of study for our modem age. Our suryival as a
culture may very well depend on whether we are able to create order and
beauty in the design and function of communities. Realizing this,we have
made design and sensitivity to all aspects of visual experience central to the
art program at Augsburg.
Giving and receiving visual messages is so much a part of everyday life that
it is often taken for granted. At the same time, however, the interchange of
visual ideas is frequently misunderstood. The task of the artist, art teacher
and art historian is to celebrate visual experiencethrough a variety of media
and art examples. In short, the visual arts teach us how to see.
Because of the College's commitment to the liberal arts,the visual arts,as
taught at Augsburg, draw ideas and inspiration from all disciplines. Art as a
human activity does involve manual skill, although to become broadly
significant it should interact with the content available in other fields, such
as language,history, drama, music, literature, philosophy, theology,
business, physical education and science.
A liberal arts college like Augsburg is an ideal setting for the study of art
because it provides a constant possibility for the interaction of ideas,
I
lI

disciplines and attitudes. At Augsburg art study is further enhanced by
associations with a sigruticant number of artgalleries and museums in the
Twin Cities area.
Cooperative Education and Internships in studio art and art history provide
on-the-pb, supervised, evaluated experienceswhich contribute to the
student's overall education and development. Primary goals include
improvement of art and museum skills, production and creative strategies.
Hundreds of s m c careers exist in the general area of art. Augsburg
graduates have established careers in such fields as teaching in public
schools and colleges, anthropology, pottery making antique restoration and
sales, film and video work, portrait painting and gallery and museum work.
The f u t u holds

a great deal of promise for artists who can combine skills
with a breadth of understanding.

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

The Department of Business Administration and Management Information
Systems (MIS) is committed to developing both the theoretical and practical
tools necessary for entry into and advancement in business and other
organizations as well as preparation for graduate study. To this end, three
majors are offered: Business Administration, Management Information
Systems (MIS) and a combination major in Economics-Business Admhistration. Business Administration and MIS should be considered separately in
regard to the limitation of no more than 13courses in any one department.
Within Business Administration, there are five specdizations:Accounting,
Finance, Management, Marketing and InternationalBusiness.
Each of these areas is dependent upon a strong foundation in the liberal arts
with an emphasis on solid communication and analytical skills. Recognizing
the occupational realities of the business disciplines, the Department is
equally committed to maintaining an application-oriented balance. This
balance is achieved in part by fosteringclose ties with the corporate community, which in turnprovides a wealth of practical expertise and a wide
variety of Internship opportunities as well as future job prospects.
Departmental faculty believe they can best serve both the student and the
community by contributing to an education which is ethically based,
technically competent and socially aware.

Chemistry is the science of the changes in matter, examining those changes
and working toward an understanding of them. Correlating the results of
physics and opening the vistas of molecular biology, 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.
Chemists as scientistsmust be well versed in the science of chemistry,
howledgeable in fad and theory for solving scientific problems, capable of
providing a public understandingof 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 core of religion, humanities, the
arts and the social sciences is imperative if a chemist is to be truly human
and therefore truly scientific.
The Department is on the List of Approved Schoolsof the American
Chemical Society (ACS)and offers a chemistry major which meets the
chemistry background required by many fields.
Consonant with these ideas, the Department of Chemistry has established
the following objectives to help its students develop into mature scientists
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.
To provide programs of study for professional goals in addition to the
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
seriously study areas outside of the sciences; and
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 mapr 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.

ECONOMICS
(ECO) D E P .
The Department of Economicsat Augsburg College offers a program
stressing a strong theowtical background, quantitative techniques and an
emphasis on both national and international issues. Students who graduate
with a degree in Economics are well prepared to continue their education in
a variety of fields due to the strong liberal arts emphasis within the mapr.
Three majors are offered to students within this Department. The General
Economicsmajor is designed for students who are planning graduate or
professional studies. The Applied Economics mapr generally leads to
careers in the business world. Finally, the combined Business Administration/Economics major is designed for those who wish to have more flexibility in plannning their program of study.
Economics course offerings are designed to meet the needs of students
preparing for advanced studies as well as for those who, immediatelyafter
graduation, are interested in starting a career. An Augsburg Economics
mapr provides a solid foundation on which to build national or international careersin business, law, government or public service.
The program allows students, once they have completed the core courses, to
concentrate on their specrficareas of interest. Studentsare able to combine
an Economics major with other disciplines. For example, business, international relations, mathematics, management information systems (MIS),
political science, Soviet and East European area studies or Scandinavian
area studies are often combined with economics.
Economicsmajors and minors are available both through Day School and
Weekend College.

Augsburg College has cooperative arrangementswith three universities to
allow the student to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College
and an engineeringdegree from either the University of Minnesota Institute
of Technology, Minneapolis; Washington University School of Engineering
and Applied Science, St. Louis,Missouri; or Michigan Technological
University, Houghton, Michigan. Becau~of the specla1requirements and
opportunitiesof these programs, early consultation with the Augsburg
Engineering Adviser is necessary.Applications for these programs require
the recommendation of the Augsburg Engineering Adviser.
Stuart Anderson, Adviser
University of Minnesota
The Institute of Technology and Augsburg cooperative arrangement provides for
two dual degree engineeringprograms:
Bachelor of Amachelor of Engineering ( B A K E . ) enables students to receive a
Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Bachelor of Engineering
degree from the University of Minnesota. The program typically involves three
years at Augsburg and two years at the 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 ArtslMaster of Engineering (BAJME.) 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 thesame as the B.A./B.E. curriculum with the addition of several
extra courses that are completed at Augsburg during the senior year to minimize
the number of undergraduate courses, if any, that students must take at the
University before proceeding through the graduate curriculum.The number of
such courses varies by lT department and area of emphasis within a department.
Application for admission into the B.A./M.E. program should be initiated during
the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Formal application for the
program may be completed during the senior year. Those admitted will receive
special counseling from the Institute of Technology staff regarding courses that
should be taken during the senior year at Augsburg. Participantsin the B.A./M.E.
program are not guaranteed admission to the Institute of Technology.
Washington University (Three Year Plan)
Michigan Technological University (Dual Degree Plan)
These two programs enable students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from
Augsburg and a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Washington University
School of Engineering and Applied Science or Michigan Technological University
in a fiveyear 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 will complete course requirements, have the requisite
cumulative grade point average and are recommended by the Engineering Adviser
of Augsburg College.
Students are also enmuraged to explore opportunities for graduate work at Washington University and Michigan Technological University. Further informationon these
and other graduate programs is available from the Augsburg Engineering Adviser.
FinancialAid: Students receiving financial aid who are participants in these dual
degree programs will be encouraged to apply to the engineeringschool of their
choice for continuing support. Their applications will be evaluated using need and
academic performance as criteria.

requirements and a total of 27 courses at Augsburg. Normally MAT 124,125 or 145,
146 and PHY 121,122 are taken in the freshman year. Studentsinterested in
Chemical Engineering also should take CHM 351,352.
Those who study Enghsh 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, experiencelifeas others do and
undentand better the world in which we live and work
English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is
concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the
contemplation of works of art. With psychology and socjology, English is
concerned with individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is
interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning and language. With
sciencerEnglish 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 different cultures.
The Augsburg English Department 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. Enghsh majors have the opportunity to use and refine their skills
through Internships on and off campus, tutoring English as a Second

this academic community. Students are introduced to the character of the
College, its heritage as an urban liberal arts college of the church, the
process of learning in a community where ideas are valued and treated
seriously, and the logistics of being a college student.
The First Year Experience (FYE) is composed of four parts: Summer Registration, Fall Orientation, FYE Seminarsand FYE Interim Term Courses.
Participation in the Fall Orientation program and in the FYE Seminars is
required of all students who begm Augsburg College as freshmen in the day
schedule program. Students who meet the requirement satisfactorily by
attendance at and participation in an FYE Seminar will receive a notation of
a passing (P) grade for FYE 005 on their official transcript. Studentswithout
a P for FYE 005 will not be permitted to graduate with an Augsburg degree.

The Foreign Language Department at Augsburg College contributes in
many ways to realizing the College's mission of providing liberal arts
education for b c e in today's world. The Department is committed to the
view that education should go beyond career preparation. So viewed,
foreign language study goes beyond the developmentof new cornrnunications skills to foster an abiding awarenessthat the splendid diversity of
human languages, literatures and cultures represents a rich historic legacy
developed in different ways by many nations to be shared by all in common. The Departmental faculty believes that familiarity with the language
and culture of another people is an essential step in the development of
global perspective and hence is indispensablein the education of Augsburg
students.
The Foreign Language Department offers language, literatu~,and culture
courses in French, German,Norwegian, Ojibwe, Russian and Spanish.
Courses in Chinese, Japanese, Latin and Greek are available to Augsburg
students through the College's affiliation with A m , a consortiumof Twin
Cities colleges.
A special perspective on language is also available to Augsburg students in
the linguistics courses offered by the Foreign Language Department.
Linguistics goes beyond the study of individual languages to investigate the
general principles which operate in and shape all languages. In thisway the
study of linguisticsaffords the student a unique view of one of the most
intriguingand central facets of the human mind.
Foreign language skills, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, are
essential in preparing for a number of careers and represent a valuable
specla1qualification in many others. Anticipated careers in a number of
n
teaching, translation, the diplomatic corps or
fields such as f o ~ i g language
international business may require a foreign language major, perhaps
combined with a major in some other field. In addition, students pursuing
careersin many other fields such as health care, social work, the ministry,
psychology or philosophy, to name just a few, often find that a foreign
language minor and/or the study of linguistics qualifies them for special
assignmentsin their chosen field.

History is to society what memory is to an individual; it brings to a civilization an understanding of its identity. The distinguished medievalistJ.R
Strayer expressed it this way: "No community can survive and no institu-
tion 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 thememory of common
experiences which makes scattered individuals into a community."
A society's history is also a storehouse of human experiences that enables us
to deal more knowledgeablywith the continuitiesand changes in m m n t
issues. Established disciplines, as history long has been, train the mind by
developingconcepts and skills that enable one to deal with masses of
information. Many have found that history is an entree into the richer
enjoyment of travel, cultural events and the broad reading enjoyed by the
educated person. Accordingy, history has long held a mapr role in the
liberal arts.This is true at Augsburg.
The Department has strength in and requires of its majors work in four
main areas: ancient and medieval, modem Europe, United States and the
non-Western world. The Department's graduates are well represented
among professional historians; at present, some are in graduate schools
preparing for such careers. More have distinguished themselves as social
studies teachers in elementaryand secondary schools and current projections indicate that there will be growing opportunity in that field for history
majors. For most of our students, however, the study of history provides
one of the better undergraduate liberal arts experiences, valuable both for
personal enrichment and a wide variety of career choices.
History Faculty: Richard Nelson (Chairperson), Orloue Gisselquist, Donald
Gustafson, Khin Khin Jensen
Major: Eight courses plus one seminar. At least four of these courses must be
Upper Division. A mapr must have at least one course (either survey or Upper

Major for Teaching Licensure: Students interested in secondary education may
take a History mapr in combination with specified social science courses and the
required educational courses, in compliance with the state requirements. For more
information, see the Department Chairperson or the Social Studies Coordinator.
Minor: Eve courses, at least three of which must be Upper Division.
Honors Major: GPA of 3.6 in the major and 3.0 overall; except in special instances,

Note: Only the fourth or higher term of languages counts toward the major;
prerequisite courses or competencies cannot be credited toward the 13required
courses. Students should confer with the Program Director about regional and
disciplinaryconcentrations possible within the mapr, for example, a concentration
on a geographic area or in one of the major disciplines in the program.
At least since b t e s , scholars have appreciated the value of mathematics
in developing the skills of critical thinking, understandingabstrad concepts,
and analyzing and solving problems. Coupled with the more modem needs
of quantitative reasoning, these skills are still essential for any liberally
educated person. Mathematics and computer science courses at Augsburg
are intended to help develop these skills.
1
Mathematical ideas in and of themselves have had a formative impact on
the development of civilization and the development of compute& has also
influenced modern society. To the extent that a liberal education must
include a variety of perspectives on our culture and heritage, a study of
these influences is important.
An increasingnumber of academic disciplines require a working knowledge of the tools of mathematics and computer science. This Department
serves students majoring in a wide variety of fields.
Majors within this Department are prepared for graduate school, work in
industry or service professions, with opportunities to focus on either the
theoretical or the applied areas of their vocations. In fad, the Department
offers a concentration in applied mathematics as well as the more traditional
major. Internshipand Cooperative Education options help studentstake
advantage of Augsburg's proximity to the many technicaUy+riented enterprises in the city. Thus the Department aims to provide its own majors with
skills necessary to serve the larger community through a variety of m s .

Professional nursing is a scholarly discipline that offers a unique service to
individuals, families and communities as they pursue goals to promote,
maintain or restore their health. This service, as defined by the profession, is
the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to actual or potential
health problems.
The xope of professional nursing practice is changing and expanding.
Nurses are being called on to function in a variety of settings that differ
from those in the past. Today nurses work not only in hospitals and clinics
but in corporations, government agencies, communities and their own
independent practices; they are direct care-givers, researchers, teachers,
leaders, managers, administrators and consultants.
The expanding practice of professional nursing mpkes practitioners who
are liberally educated in the humanities, in the natural and social sciences
and in nursing theory and methodology, and who are critical thinkers and
ethical decision-makers.The nursing major, informed by study in the liberal
artstradition and nursing theory, process, and research, prepares registered
nurses for professional practice based on knowledge, reasoned inquiry and
professional values.
Augsburg's nursing program, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree with a
major in Nursing, is accredited by the National League for Nursing. Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for Public Health Nurse registration
in Minnesota. With one additional course, they are eligible to apply for
School Nurse certification.
Requirements for admission to the major are: completion of an associate
degree or diploma program in nursing with a minimum overall grade point
average of 25; a w e n t license to practice as a registered nurse in the state
of Minnesota; and completion of courses in inorganic chemistry, organic or
biochemistry, anatomy and physiology, microbiology, English composition,
introductory sociology and introductory psychology. Students must take
these courses at Augsburg or another accredited college or university prior
to admission to the nursing major. The prerequisite courses in sociology,
psychology, English, chemistry and biology listed above may apply toward
distribution/general education requirements as well as toward admission to
the major. All prerequisite courses must be taken using the traditional
grading system and must have been completed at the 2.0 level or above.
Courses with grades below 2.0 must be repeated or challenged satisfactorily.
In addition, applicants must validate their theoretical knowledge via written
testing prior to acceptance to the major. These tests are given at Augsburg
through the Department of Nursing. Applicants must give evidence of
current nursing clinical practice within the past five years. This may include
1) graduation from a school of nursing, 2) work experience, or 3) completion
of a nursing refresher course, or an acceptableequivalent

The Philosophy Department assists students to understand issues raised in
the traditional areas of philosophy. To this end, we consider problems of
knowledge and questions of truth, the nature of reality, the basis of values
and rules for correct reasoning. Our goals am to instill in students a love of
truth, to inspire a curiosity about the sipficance and meaning of the world
they experience and to develop the skills of critical analysis and creative
synthesis.
The liberal arts curriculum provides an opportunity for students to explore
different aspects of the world from a variety of perspectives or disciplines.
Philosophy plays a central role in the liberal arts by encouraging students to
explore questions about themselves, human experience, right and wrong,
the world and God.Ekpmng with two Somatic principles: "The
unexamined life is not worth living" and l'Know yourself," the study of
philosophy assists students in the realization of their unique potential for
understanding and self-fulfillment
Four courses in the history of philosophy -begmmng with the ancient
Greeks and Romans and continuing through the Medieval and the Renaissance periods to the present -form the core of the philosophy program. In
these courses students are taught how to read, understand and criticize
great texts of Western civilization.
In addition, students have the opportunity to explore the relation of philosophy to other disciplines and to take advanced seminarsin special topics.
This major has been carefully planned so that students can easily have two
majors. Though some majors go on to graduate school in philosophy, most
use the major to prepare for other professional studies such as law, medicine
or the Christian ministry. Many enter the marketplace, confident that the
study of philosophy has given them the ability to think critically.

Introduction to Philosophy
Though each person has his or her own set of ideas and beliefs, rarely
have they been critically analyzed or evaluated for their consistency,
adequacy or truth. One reason for this is that individuals lack the needed
skills. Another is that they may have had little opportunityto examine
critically some of the ideas basic to Western culture. The purpose of this
course is to provide the student with some experience in examining ideas
and thereby to sharpen the critical and analytical skills required to
evaluate and construct a system of ideas and beliefs.
120
Ethics
Ethics studies our moral beliefs, helping studentsto consider the basis
which they use to make moral judgments. The course explores the rnapr
philosophical approachesto evaluating moral actions and then applies
these approaches to contemporary personal and social moral issues. This
enables students to be aware of the nature of value disputes, the different
perspectives taken and the reasoning used to resolve them. Throughout
the course Christian ethics will inform our considerations. Students taking
120 may not take 125.
125
Ethics and Human Identity
This course is a philosophical study of the role of human understanding,
feelings and action with respect to the pursuit of happiness. We begin by
asking what the end or purpose of human life is, assessing the role of
reason, will and passion with respect to this end, and then deciding on the
moral and intellectual virtues required to reach the end. The topic of
friendship and human loves is investigated next. The course ends with an
analysis of human happiness. Students taking 125 may not take 120.
230
Logic
Students learn to distinguish arguments from exposition. Then they learn
the rules which govern valid arguments and develop their ability to
recognize and construct sound arguments. The last part of the course
focuses on inductive reasoning.
241
History of Philosophy I: The Classical Philosophers
The writings of Plato and Aristotle are the foundations of all philosophical
thought in Western civilization. In this course students will read and
analyze some of the key works by Plato and Aristotle. In addition, other
philosophical schools of thought in the ancient world will be studied:
Stoicism, Epicureanism and Neoplatonism, in order to familiarizethe
student with the other elements that constitute classical philosophy.
242
History of Philosophy II: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy
The Middle Ages was a period of great synthesisof elements of Christian
revelation, classical philosophy and Islamic culture. In this course
students will read writings by St. Anselm, St. Bonaventure, Occam, St.
Thomas Aquinas, Hildegard and Nicholas of Cusa in order to understand
the process of philosophical assimilation involved in constructinga
Christian philosophy. Sincethe Renaissance intensified the medieval
synthesis, students willbe exposed to the thought of Pico, Ficino and
Bruno.

Physicists are not only curious about the world, but ambitious as well. Their
aim is to understand the fundamental principles which describe and govern
all physical aspects of the universe. Called "natural philosophers" in
previous centuries, physicists investigate natural systems by means of
controlled experimentation and mathematical analysis. Physics includes the
study of systems ranging in size from sub-atomic particles to the largest of
galaxies and from the relative stillness of near absolute zero temperature to
the fiery activity of the stars. As a fascinatingand expanding area of study
and as a basic science, physics plays an important role in many of the liberal
arts disciplines and contributesto society's understandingof such areas as
energy, weather, medical science and space exploration
Recognizing the importance of physics in contemporary life and realizing
that keeping abreast of the rapid advances is an ever increasing M e n g e ,
the Department intends to bring to the students not only basic concepts but
also insights into recent developments. In this process, the faculty expects
challenges to arise, be met and stimulate sound thinking, perceptive judgment and an interest in experimental techniques.
To this end a rigorous major provides students with the in-depth preparation required for graduate study. More than two-thirds of the graduates in
Physics have completed or are currently working toward graduate degrees
at a number of fine universities across the nation. A major in physics
provides flexibility. It also serves as a stepping stone for graduate work in
related areas such as computer science, atmospheric science and meteorology, astronomy, oceanography, biophysics, environmentalscience, engineering and medical and health related fields.
In addition, the Physics program at Augsburg functions in a supportiverole
for students majoring in mathematics, chemistry, biology and computer
science. The Department also supervises the Pre-Engineeringprogram with
degree programs available at cooperating universities at both the bachelois
and the advanced degree levels.
The Department maintains active research programs through its Center for
Atmospheric and Space Sciences. Several students work each academic year
and summer as research assistants in these efforts, which are supported by
NASA, the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies.
The Department also administers Augsburg College's portion of funds
designated for the Minnesota Space Grant College Consortium, fundedby
NASA.
Cooperative Education, Internship and Undergraduate Research programs
provide opportunitiesfor students to apply their physical science knowledge and problem solving skills in practical situations in industrial, govemmental and academic settings. Studentsmay participate in alternating term
Co-op programs or work part-time during two or moR academic terms.
Internship opportunitiesalone generally involve only one semester.
The Department serves the liberal arts tradition by offering courses for the
non-science students that will enable them to attain a general understanding
of a particular area of science. These courses seek to provide the basic
starting point for further study and the opportunity to enable students to
follow new developments with some degree of comp~hension.

P O ~SCIENCE
L DEP-
(POL)
Firmly grounded in the liberal artstradition, political science has mots in the
humanities, including philosophy and history. Through its use of statistical
analysis, it relates not only to other behavioral sciences, but also to mathematics and the sciences generally. The role and sigruficanceof authority in human
affairs establish the focusof political science; because politics is a central and
enduring reality in the world, it affects and is affected by many other human
concerns.
As an academic discipline, political science uses systematic inquiry and
analysis to examine political reality and to suggest and test alternatives. The
student who majors in political science will explore political ideas and
values, investigatepolitical cooperation and conflict, analyze and compare
political systems and develop perspectives on international relations. In the
process, the student will be encouraged to relate insights from other liberal
arts disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, economics, history and
sociology to the study of politics.
Providing work in several sub-fields of political science, the major supplies
the breadth appropriate for graduate work in the discipline, as well as in
public adminstration, public policy analysis, law and other professions. It
also serves as a foundation on which to develop careers in public service,
business, communications and other fields. Lqplative and other Intemships, as well as si@cant independent research projects, are within easy
reach of Augsburg Political Science students in the Twin Cities area; combined with broad, balanced and flexible course offerings, these special
opportunities enhance the student's potential for graduate study and a
successful career.
Augsburg Political Science students have the benefit of an experienced
faculty that brings a balanced expertise to the course offerings, as well as
speual strengthsin interpreting politics in the contexts of the mass communications media, communism, and American public law. The Departmental
faculty is committed to the view that the study of politics, involving as it
does an understanding of the human heritage and the importance of
informed choice in human affairs, is an important as@ of liberal learnings.

Psychology, with its emphasis on behavioral observation and data, provides
a perspective on human activities which is an integral part of a liberal
education. The goal of the Psychology program is the improved understanding of human behavior by studyinghow people cope with their
environment and interact with each other.
The Department's courseshave three basic goals: (1)to introduce the
student to the m m n t information and methods in psychology as well as
earlier approaches to psychological questions; (2) to develop the ability to
analyze, interpret and evaluate behavioral researchIand (3) to provide
practice in the application of these principles. The Department program
provides an emphasis on both field experiences and the theoretical foundation for graduate study in psychology and related areas. Cooperative
Education and Internships are designed to provide students with practical
pre-professional experience.On-thepb experience gives students the
opportunity to test career fields and develop professional contacts.
Psychologistsuse a variety of methods to study behavior, including experimentation, observation and clinical case analysis. Faculty members in the
Department of Psychology at Augsburg have varied professional specializations which include areas such as counseling, physiological psychology,
human development, personality and computer applications.
The Psychology program's emphasis on the use of a problem solving
approach, the acquisition of information about human development and
interaction, and the development of human relations skills can be beneficial
in careers in business, education and other social services, the church and
government, as well as in careers such as research, law and medicine.
Student interns are placed in the metropolitan area where they can acquire
practical, pre-professional experienceand develop professional contacts.
This program mutually benefits the students and the community.

Augsburg College understands itself as a college of the church and it is
persuaded that the Christian faith provides an appropriate perspective from
which to undertake its educational task The biblical faith and tradition of
the Christian church have influenced the Western world to a degree much
greater than is sometimes recogruzed. They have affected and continue to
influence language, literature, history, values and political structures.
The student encounters this religious tradition in studying these and other
areas. The study of religion and theology is intended to make such encounters more meaningful by a better knowledge of biblical history and that of
the Christian church and by a larger acquaintance with theological thought.
While it is true that the fundamental orientation of this College is to the
Christian faith, it is also true that the field of religion obviously includes
more thanis represented by the Christian faith. Large segments of the
earth's population live by religious concepts and ideas which are different
from those prominent in the West. The Department of Religion seeks to
introduce students to some of these major religious traditions.
Coursesin religion are not intended to be footnotes to courses in other
disciplines and departments. The study of religion and the discipline of
theology have an integrity of their own. It is the hope and expectation of the
Department that students will become better acquainted with the content
and character of the Christian faith, enabling them to reflect theologically on
their own religious commitment.
The College offers both a major and a minor in Religion. Studentswho wish
to work in the church as a parish or youth worker or as a director of Christian Education may find a major in Religion appropriatefor that purpose.

SOCIALWORKDEPARTMEW
(SWK)
The SocialWork mapr prepares graduates for entry-level professional
practice in the field of human services. The program is accredited by the
Council on Social Work Education and leads to a Bachelor of Science degree.
The program is based on a generalist model of practice, enabling graduates
to work with individuals, families, groups, communities and to develop and
analyze social policy. Several courses within the program utilize a student
empowerment model for teaching and learning.
Augsburg's social work mapr also provides a strong foundation for graduate studies in a variety of fields.Augsburg also offers a full-time Master of
Social Work d e p e on a weekend schedule.
The College's commitment to the liberal arts is highly compatible with
education for professional social work practice. The liberal arts with its
emphasis on breadth of understanding, cultural and ethnic diversity,
openness to new ideas, analysis and synthesis, is an ideal foundation for
socialwork education. As Sir Richard Livingston has said, "A technician is a
person who knows everytlung there is to know about his/her p b except its
ultimate purpose and social consequence." Effective .socialworkers should
not be technicians. Augsburg social work graduates are entry level professionals.
Augsburg College's motto, "Education for Service," exemplifies the philosophy of the SocialWork Department. Unique learning opportunities for field
work placement and cultural enrichment are provided by a metropolitan
setting known for a humane quality of life which is enhanced by the arts,
outstanding human services, and a highly-educated populace. Social work
opportunities abound. Minnesota is known for the vitality and relevance of
its social services. The Twin Cities, as the hub for these services, provides
both a plethora of field placements for social work students and external
experts for the classroom The ethnic and economic diversity present in this
metropolitan area provides opportunities for socialwork students to learn
to understand, appreciate, respect and work with people different from
themselves and to be enriched by this opportunity to interact with diverse
clients and professionals.
The Social Work Program strives to contribute to its environment as well as
to gain from it. Appropriately, social work students have been involved in a
wide variety of community service efforts including helping to develop the
LINK program on campus, mobilizing studentsto assist a social service
agency in their annual Christmas giving program, and tutoring at a local
neighborhood center.
The Social Welfare minor and electives in the Department allow students to
support another major while gaining knowledge about human needs and
growth, human services and the methods of effective citizenship. Students
taking these courses have the opportunity to become knowledgeable about
public issues and develop and nurture a perspective that sees the central
importance of diversity to the social fabric of this country. But beyond
knowledge, students are encouraged to use their talents and skills to
address the needs of society in the interest of the public good.

Sociologyis a disciplined study of human social behavior. As a relatively
young discipline, sociology provides yet another perspective on a theme
which is common to many of the disciplines in a liberal arts curriculum,
namely the theme that humans a w "social animals." Sociologyemphasizes
the extent to which the human inclination to interact socially comes to
exhibit r e g u l m patterns over time. These pattern together form a
society or a social structure.
Sociology seeks to understand these societal patterns. Sociologyalso seeks
to understand patterns within the great variety of institutions that exist in a
society.
The SociologyDepartment at Augsburg is designed to help students think
sociologically in terms of obtaining an understandingof society and developing skills in analyzing social institutions and patterns.
Students are encouraged to select as electives some of the non-traditional
learning models available, such as internships, independent study, Interim
courses and field studies. The Department urges students to use Augsburg's
urban setting as a laboratory for learning. A major in sociology can p-are
one for a variety of Careers or for advanced professional studies. Cooperative Education and Internships enable majors to apply the theories and
research skills of sociology while they explore career alternatives. Augsburg
alumni who have majored in sociology are currently employed in the
personnel departmentsof both government and private corporations, in
industrial relations work and in program evaluation Others have used their
majors as preparation for advanced study in areas such as law, the ministry,
social work and urban planning.
The Department of Sociology welcomes students who, in their quest for a
liberal education, are looking for new and different ways of understanding
and appreciating the often taken-for-granted aspects of our world.

Current financial aid regulations and program provisions are disclosed
with the financial aid notice.
Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg is normally 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. Nine out of 10Augsburg students
receive financial aid in the form of scholarships, grants, loans and/or
part-time employment.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Augsburg
Financial Aid Application determine the amount of assistance for which
a student is eligible. This analysis estimates the amount a student and
family can be expected to provide for college expenses, using the a p
proved federal formula and taking into account such family financial
factors as current income, assets, number of dependents, other educational expenses, debts, retirement needs and special considerations.
How AND WHEN
TO APPLY
(P.26)
General Information
The Financial Aid Office can supply you with detailed instructions when
applying for financial aid. Financial aid applications are processed and the
awards are released in the order they are completed. All financial aid is
contingent on available funds and current regulations. It is the student's
responsibility to obtain funds from non-Augsburg sources (e.g., Pel1 Grant,
Minnesota State Grant). Although Augsburg will estimate these resources
where appropriate, they must be confirmed by the funding source.
Application Process
1.Apply for admission to Augsburg College. No financial aid notification
is made until the student has applied and been accepted for admission.
2. Obtain the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) from a
high school or college financial aid office and complete the application
form. Mail the completed application to Federal Student Aid Programs in
the envelope provided.
3. Obtain and complete the Augsburg Financial Aid Application. Submit

A
ugsburg College
in
- is grounded
traditions - the traditions of its founders,
of the church and of higher education in
the liberal arts. From this framework
springs a dynamic, challenging and
evolving institution that rises to the
challenges of today's - and tomorrow's changing world.
Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in
September, 1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin,
and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The
first college stude,ntswere enrolled in 1874
and the first graduation was in 1879.
Augsburg is committed to educating
the whole person, encouraging and
respecting diversity and serving the larger
community. Through education, understanding and service, Augsburg faculty,
staff and students can affect the future in
positive ways.
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
The phrase, "Think globally, act
locally" rings true at Augsburg. The
College's location in the heart of the Twin
Cities provides rich opportunities for
experiential education, volunteer service,
internships and cultural enrichment. In a
sense, the cities are an extended campus
for Augsburg students.
Mission Statement
Students who graduate from Augsburg
are well prepared to make a difference in
the world. They stand as testaments to the
College motto, "Education for service,"
and to the Mission of the College:
To developfuture leaders of service to the
world by providing high quality educational
opportunities which are based in the liberal arts
and shaped by the faith and values of the
Christian Church, by the context of a vital
metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally
diverse campus community.
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary
founded by Norwegian Lutherans in
America, named after the confession of
faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg,
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 over one hundred years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist"
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's
second president (1876-1907),required
students to get pre-ministerial experience
in city congregations. Student involvement
in the community gave early expression to
the concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education for Service."
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed
the Friends of Augsburg, later called the
About Augsburg 7
Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations
committed to congregational autonomy
and personal Christianity. This change
made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran
body. But the college division was still
important primarily as an attachment to
the seminary.
The Focus Changed
This attitude began to change after
World War I. In 1911, Georg Sverdrup, Jr.,
became President. He worked to develop
college departments with an appeal to a
broader range of students than just those
intending to be ministers. Augsburg
admitted women in 1922 under the
leadership of Gerda Mortensen, Dean of
Women. She spent the next 52 years at the
College as a teacher and administrator.
The College's mission assumed a
double character -ministerial preparation
together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected
Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and
scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and
civic circles made Augsburg a more visible
part of church and city life.
After World War 11, Augsburg leaders
made vigorous efforts to expand and
improve academic offerings. Now the
College was a larger part of the institution
than the seminary, and received the most
attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential
to a liberal arts college, offering a modern
college program based on general education requirements and elective majors.
With curriculum change came a long effort
to become accredited.
The College reached full accreditation
in 1954, although many alumni had entered
graduate schools and teaching positions
long before that time.
A study in 1962 defined the College's
mission 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
Northwestern Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963.
A College in the City
President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on
involvement with the city. He wanted to
reach out to non-traditional student
populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all people. During his years of
leadership the College became a vital and
integral part of the city. Also in these years,
Augsbwg added the Music Hall,Mortensen
Tower, Urness Tower, the College Center,
Ice Arena and Murphy Place.
Dr. Charles S. Anderson has led the
College since 1980. He guides 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.
Augsburg continues to grow under his
leadership. Some of the accomplishments
during his tenure include instituting three
graduate degree programs, hosting
national and international figures at
College-sponsored forums and events,
increased accessibility and the addition of
the Foss Center for Worship, Drama and
Communication.
- About Augsburg
Augsburg continues to reflect the
commitment and dedication of the
founders who believed:
An Augsburg education should be
preparation for service in community and
church;
Education should have a solid liberal
arts core with a practical dimension in
order to send out productive, creative and
successful citizens;
The city, with all its excitement,
challenges and diversity is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts
institution set in the heart of a great
metropolitan center. There are now more
than 11,800 Augsburg alumni. In a world
that has changed much since those first
days of the College, Augsburg still sends
out graduates who make a difference
where they live and work.
CAMPUS LOCATION
Augsburg's campus is located in the
heart of the Twin Cities, surrounding
Murphy Square, the first of 155 parks in
Minneapolis, the "City of Lakes." The
University of Minnesota West Bank
campus and one of the city's largest
medical centers - Riverside Medical
Center - is adjacent to the campus, with

Financing higher education could be the
most significant investment a person or
family makes in a lifetime. So, proper
planning and wise choices are important,
not only in choosing a college, but also in
the methods used to pay for it. Augsburg
College, through its Office of Student
Financial Services, will help students and
their families with both monetary and
advisory assistance to protect access to a
quality education in spite of increasing
costs.
Financial assistance awarded through
Augsburg is a combination of scholarships,
grants, loans and part-time work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal,
state, church and private agencies in
providing various aid programs. For the
1993-'94 academic year, nearly 9 out of 10
students at Augsburg received scholarships,
grants, loans and part-time employment.
The primary responsibility for financing
a college education rests upon the student
and family. Financial aid is intended to
supplement student and family resources.
The Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Augsburg
Financial Aid Application help determine
the amount of assistance for which a
student is eligible. This analysis estimates
the amount a student and family can be
expected to provide for college expenses,
taking into account such family financial
factors as current income, assets, number of
dependents, other educational expenses,
debts, retirement needs and special
considerations.

Federal Stafford Student Loans Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford
Loan funds are obtained directly from a

accrued while in school or during the sixmonth grace period.
Interest begins accruing on the date of
disbursement for the Unsubsidized
Stafford Loan 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 be capitalized (added to the balance of
the loan).
The interest rate for new borrowers
through the Subsidized and Unsubsidized
Stafford Loan is variable and changes
annually based on the 91-day Treasury Bill.
For students with existing loans, the
interest rate will match the interest rate on
their existing loans (7%,8%, 9% or

EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION
PROCRAMS
Through Internships, Cooperative
Education and Community Service,
Augsburg students integrate and expand
their liberal arts education by embracing
the worlds of work and service. Each work
or community service placement is closely
related to a student's major, course work or
career interest. Augsburg's Internship,
Cooperative Education and Community
Service programs link employers, community organizations and the academic
program in a way that enriches and
expands a student's educational experience
and personal development. An underlying
assumption is that a liberal arts education
is an effective preparation for careers and
citizenship. The integration of "knowing
and doing" adds breadth and depth to the
liberal arts curriculum and assists students
in making more informed academic, career
and personal decisions.
The College's metropolitan location
makes possible a wide range of opportunities. Students have gained valuable
learning experiences in small and midsize
companies, large corporations, non-profit
organizations, schools, government agencies and community-based organizations.
Academic Information 4
Academic Internships
An academic internship is a carefully
planned work-based learning experience
where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning objectives. A
learning agreement plan, negotiated with a
faculty supervisor and work supervisor,
outlining the internship objectives, strategies and evaluation methods is required.
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.
Upper Division Internships are numbered
399 and Lower Division Internships are
numbered 199.
Registration for Internships consists of
the following steps:
1.Obtain the Internship registration
permission form from the Internship and
Cooperative Education Office and secure
the signatures of the faculty supervisor and
Director of Internships and Cooperative
Education.
2. Register for a 199 or 399 Internship
during the registration period. The signed
permission form must be turned in at the
time of registration. (Students may preregister without a placement secured, but a
suitable internship must be found by the
end of the registration or drop/add period.)
3. A learning agreement (forms are
available from the Internship and Cooperative Education office) must be negotiated
with the faculty member responsible for
grading the experience and the work
supervisor. The completed original is
turned in to the Internship and Cooperative
Education Office, with copies made for the
faculty, supervisor and student.
Internships are available in all majors
and can be taken during a semester (or
Weekend College trimester), Interim or
summer session. For extension of an
Internship beyond one term see Evaluation
and Grading on page 66.
A maximum of four courses of Internship may count toward the total courses
required for the degree.
Cooperative Education
Cooperative Education is a college
supported and monitored, paid, worklearning experience that is closely related to
a student's major or career objective. The
goal is to combine theory with practice in
work or servicebased settings.
Students also earn money to help defray
educational costs while gaining important
on-the-job experience. Job placements
typically are part-time during the academic
year and/or full-time summer. Co-op jobs
are flexible and can begin and end anytme.
Co-op Ed is not credited in and of itself, but
a non-credit Cooperative Education
transcript entry is available during the
academic terms the student is employed.
Co-op Ed students are encouraged to
complete at least one Internship for credit in
conjunction with their Cooperative Education participation. Co-op Ed is available to
Augsburg students who have completed
their freshman year and are in good
academic standing.
Service-Learning
Augsburg's Service-Learningprogram
combines respoke to human needs in the
community with a conscious awareness and
understanding of issues, reflection and
educational growth. Augsburg students
learn from and about the community and
society in which they live by participating in
orientation sessions, direct servicelearning
activities and seminars or class discussions.
-
Academic Intormation
Through direct service, such as volunteering
at a homeless shelter, tutoring, building
housing for low income people or working
with environmental groups, students
engage in a dynamic and interactive educational approach which employs reciprocal
learning between the student(s) and the
community. Service Learning includes
course-imbedded community service,
tutoring, internships, cooperative education
and a wide range of volunteer options.
The Service-LearningProgram works
with community organizations and
organizes specific projects to enhance
student involvement and also assists with
and supports the integration of servicelearning into departmental courses. The
program works closely with the student
directed Augsburg LINK program and
campus ministry.
WEEKEND COLLEGE
Augsburg Weekend College provides an
educational alternative for adult students
who work or have other commitments
during the week. It is a means by which
men and women may earn a college degree,
complete a second major or pursue a
personal interest or skill.
Weekend College classes meet on
alternate weekends. There are three
trimester terms during the early September
through June academic year. Students may
take from one to four classes each term.
Although the Augsburg Weekend
College program involves the same courses
as the day school program, the curriculum
is limited to selected liberal arts courses and
the following majors: Accounting, Business
Administration (specializationsin finance,
international business, management and
marketing), Communication (concentrations
in general communication, organizational
communication and mass communication),
Computer Science, Economics, Elementary
and Secondary Education, English, Management Information Systems, Nursing,
Psychology, Religion and Social Work.
1 GRADUATE PROGRAMS
Augsburg College offers three
graduate degree programs: the Master of
Arts in Leadership, the Master of Arts in
Education-Leadership and the Master of
Social Work.
Designed for working adults, the
Augsburg Graduate Program operates on
alternate Saturdays and alternate Thursday
evenings. There are three trimester terms
during the early September through June
academic year.
The Master of Arts in Leadership
program is based on the subject matter and
approaches of the traditional liberal arts.
This cross-disciplinaryprogram directs its
academic content and pedagogical approaches at situations, issues and problems
relevant to organizational leaders.
Augsburg's program recognizes that
today's leaders need broad-spectrum abilities to provide them with a more comprehensive understandinn
., of their world.
The Master of Arts in EducationLeadership program values the role that
good educators play in the lives of students,
and operates from the belief that educators
need to exercise leadership within the
workplace without relinquishing the role of
teacher. The program promotes leadership
as a process, promotes productivity within
and beyond the organization and works
toward progress.
The Master of Social Work at Augsburg
offers two concentrations: Family Practice
and Program Development, Policy and
Academic Information
Administration. In the Family Practice concentration, students concentrate on empowering the family nurturing systems from a
developmental and holistic perspective.
Milda K. Hedblom, Canadian Program
Coordinator.
The Program Development, Policy and
Administration concentration has been
developed in response to the growing
demand for creative leadership and
administration of policies and services that
respond to human need.
Augsburg College has a commitment to
lifelong learning and is host to both
Elderhostel and College of the Third Age
programs. For more information, contact the
Academic Dean's office.
Both concentrations are founded on the
assumptions that analysis of complex social
issues and solutions must be based on solid
research, and that the world is interdependent in all areas, including human needs
and the services to address them.
These programs bring working adults to
the campus. They are complemented by the
College's Cooperative Education Program
(begun in 1984) that places Augsburg
students into paid work experiences.
OTHER PROGRAMS
Continuing Education Program
Augsburg College offers selected
courses through Continuing Education.
Inquiries should be addressed to the Office
of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
Canadian Program
The Canadian Program was inaugurated
in 1985with endowment from the
Mildred Joel Bequest for Canadian Studies.
The program supports special events and
conferences as well as student internships
and faculty activity in Canadian studies.
The goals of the program include community involvement, increased awareness
of the importance of Canadian/U.S. relations, and provision of opportunities to
learn directly from Canadians through visits
and exchanges.

REGISTRATION
A student must be registered for a
course to receive credit for it.
Full-time students normally register for
four course credits per semester and one
course during Interim. Students registered
for three or more course credits in a
semester are classified as full-time students. To register for more than 4.5 course
credits, students must contact the
Registrar's office to petition the Committee
on Student Standing for permission.
Although a student may register up to
five days after the semester begins,
registration is encouraged at the regularly
scheduled time. Special fees are charged for
late registration. Special fees also are
charged for cancelling or adding courses or
changing grading option after the first five
days of a semester.
A joint class schedule is published each
Spring by the Associated Colleges of the
Twin Cities, listing courses and their location at the five colleges for the following
academic year. As some courses are offered
only in alternate years, students should
also consult with Departmental advisers
when planning their academic program.
Separate catalogs of courses are
published by the Interim Office, Summer
-5'
- Academic Information
iz
School Office, Weekend College Office
and Graduate Program Office for those
sessions at Augsburg, listing registration
times and procedures.
Specific information on registration and
help with registration on another campus
are available from these offices:
Office of the Registrar -Science Hall
114, for Fall and Spring Terms
Interim Office -Memorial Hall 230
Summer School Office -2222 Murphy
Place
Weekend College Office -2222
because this may result in a failing grade
on their official academic record. Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from College
must be completed in the Office of the
Registrar. A Leave of Absence/Withdrawal
from College form may be obtained in the
Advising Center or in the Office of the
Registrar. Withdrawal from College cannot
occur during final examination week unless
a petition is approved by the Student
Standing Committee. Withdrawal from
College and any consequential adjustments
in accounts are effective as of the date the
Withdrawal from College form is returned
to the Office of the Registrar.

the Fall. All currently enrolled students
may pre-register during the Fall for the
Spring term and during the Spring for the
Fall term.
Class Confirmation
All students must confirm their registration with a signature and final payment
arrangements prior to the start of classes.
Students who do not confirm their
registration before the first day of classes
(unless special arrangements have been
made) will lose all classes. They may
register and confirm during the first five
days, but special late fees are assessed and
added to their account.

The completed form must be submitted to
the Office of the Registrar.
A leave of absence may be granted for
one term or one academic year. If an
extension is needed, an updated Leave of
Absence form must be submitted to the
Office of the Registrar prior to the expiration of the previous leave of absence
period or an application for readmission
will be required.
A student on leave of absence is
responsible for keeping the Office of the
Registrar informed of his or her mailing
address. All deadlines for financial aid and
housing must be observed by the returning
student. A leave of absence does not defer
payment of loans or extend incomplete
course deadlines.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
The responsibility for seeing that all
degree requirements are satisfied rests with
the student. Academic Advisers, Department Chairpersons, the Assistant to the
Dean for Academic Advising and the
Registrar are available for counsel and
assistance in program planning. Students
who enter an academic program with a
baccalaureate or higher degree should
contact the Registrar's Office about specific
requirements for a second baccalaureate
degree or for the equivalent of a major.
Each student must apply for graduation. Students should apply at the start of
their last academic year to confirm remaining graduation requirements. Application
forms are available in the Registrar's Office.
All degree and course requirements
must be completed and verified in the
Registrar's office prior to the anticipated
date of graduation (there may be no
incompletes or open courses on the
academic record).
See the separate section on Graduation
with Distinction to learn about requirements for these honors, page 71.
Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a
major, the First Year Experience (FYE), a
minimum GPA, residence, and general
education courses. Because the College is in
transition during the change from Distribution to Perspective graduation requirements, the minimum number of credits
required may vary depending on date of
matriculation, as follows:
Students Entering After January1, 1993,
Under Perspectives Curriculum Requirements For Graduation:
1. Completion of 33 course credits At least 11course credits must be Upper

Education (B.M.) - 17; Music Performance
(B.M.) -20; Music Therapy (B.S.) - 17;
and Social Work (B.S.) - 15.
The course total must include two
Interims for students whose complete
academic work is at Augsburg.
For transfer students, the course total
must include one less Interim course than
the number of years at Augsburg (but no
more than two Interim courses are required). This is calculated on each transfer
student's evaluation of transfer credits.
No more than these maximums may be
applied toward the 33 total course credits
required: two Interim courses; two courses
by independent/directed study; four
courses of internship; and eight course
credits with a grade of Pass (P). Nontraditional grading (P) also has these limits:
two in the major except Elementary
Education (two in the major plus student
teaching) and Nursing (no PIN grading is
permitted); one in the minor if approved by
the department chairperson. Interim
courses taken that are not counted among

different Lifetime Sports is required.
Lifetime sports are no-credit courses and
are not included in the 35,34, or 33 course
credit requirement.
W LIBERAL ARTS PERSPECTIVES
The General Education Liberal Arts
Perspectives have the primary goal of
providing the basis for beginning to
understand what it means to be a human
being at this time. The goals of the Perspectives are achieved through a variety of
courses which have been approved as
meeting the criteria established for each
Perspective. Although courses approved
for each Perspective meet the General
Education requirements, not every course
meets all the goals of each Perspective.
Students will choose from a list of
courses meeting the Liberal Arts Perspectives, available from the Office of the
Registrar. These choices are controlled by
the following policies:
1. A student will choose a minimum
of one course from each required perspective category.
2. No single course cim fulfill the
requirements in two or more categories.
3. No student will be permitted to
count more than three courses from
Academic Information
the same department in meeting perspective requirements.
4. No student may count more than one
course from the same department in
meeting the requirements of any single
perspective emphasis area except:
Up to three courses in religion may be
used to meet the perspective, "The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The
Christian Faith."
Up to two courses in a year-long
sequence (biology, chemistry or physics)
may be used to meet the perspective, "The
Natural World."
Up to two courses of the same foreign
language may be used to meet part of the

THE EIGHT PERSPECTIVES:
EXPLANATION
Perspective: The Character and Mission
of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith
This Perspective focuses on Augsburg
as a College of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America. As a college of the
Church, Augsburg accepts as a basis for its
educational program the doctrines of the
Christian faith as revealed in Scripture and
the creeds affirmed by the Lutheran
Church. It consciously affirms that all
students should reflect upon the Christian
Scriptures, theological concepts, ethical
values, their own faith and values, and
religious concepts outside of the Christian
faith as part of becoming educated.
From this perspective, students should
gain an understanding of and critically
reflect on:
1. The Bible (for example, its origins,
structures, content or interpretation).
2. Christian theological and religious
concepts and their own religious beliefs.
3. Religious concepts and practices
found in religious traditions outside the
Christian faith.
4. Their own and others' values, their
relation to Christian values, the possible
grounds for these values, how these values
might be critiqued and defended and the
role values play in the issues that confront
our society.
Perspective: The Character and Mission
of Augsburg College: The City
This Perspective focuses on the
College's location in the heart of a metropolitan area. From this Perspective,
students should gain an understanding of
and critically reflect upon the city with its
diverse populations, cultural, governmental and economic institutions, and opportunities and challenges. In addition, students
should experience the community and
should explore opportunities for service in
the community.
This requirement must be covered
either by specific courses, by internship
and education experiences or by designated or college approved non-credit
experiences (such as volunteer service or
college programs). Experiences that satisfy
the requirement must be accompanied by
seminars related to the experience.

Perspective: Western Heritage
Perspective: Aesthetics
This Perspective is intended to help
students critically examine themes (found,
for example, in literature, philosophy and
the arts) and events that have historically
shaped Western civilization. Attention
should be paid to the contributions of and
to critiques of Western thought by women
and ethnic minorities.
Aesthetic creations convey fundamental
insights and values, express beauty and
enhance life. This Perspective focuses on
aesthetic qualities in artistic expressions by
oneself and others.
From this Perspective, students should
gain an understanding of and critically
reflect on:
1. Central ideas, texts or works of art
that historically have been significant for
Western society and the relation of these to
present world views.
From this Perspective, students should
gain an understanding of and critically
reflect on:
1. Forms of artistic expression.
2. Historical development and variation
in aesthetic taste and performance across
cultures and how different cultures have
expressed themselves through various
aesthetic forms.
3. Different theories of aesthetics.
2. Specific historical themes, trends,
events and persons and their roles in
shaping both the past and the present.
4. Their own creation or performance of
a work of art.
3. Historical and literary methods of
ascertawg and conveying the past.
Perspective: The Social World
This Perspective is intended to help
students view themselves as persons, men
and women with unique abilities, values,
beliefs, experiences and behaviors.
This Perspective is intended to help
students learn to identify, examine and
critique social, economic or political
systems: to understand how and why such
systems develop, to see the connections
among these systems and to use this
knowledge as a participant in society.
From this Perspective, students should
gain an understanding of and critically
reflect on:
From this Perspective, students should
gain an understanding of and critically

human organization at the group and
societal level.
2. Scientific or humanistic interpretations of their own development as persons.
2. Current theories and methods for
understanding social, political or
economic systems.
Perspective: Human Identity
3. Questions of faith, ethics and
moral choice in their personal and professional lives.
4. Factors involved in physical and
mental health.
3. The historical development of selected
social, economic or political structures.
4. The relationship between various
social, political or economic systems and

the student's own responsibilities
in society.
5. The ways that social, economic or
political structures differ across cultures
and affect diverse groups in society.
Perspective: Intercultural Awareness
This Perspective is intended to comple
ment the Western Heritage Perspective by
expanding students' awareness of other
cultures. One course is required in which
students critically reflect upon ways their
own cultural biases operate when confronting other cultures. They should become
better able to communicate with persons of
other cultural backgrounds partially by
being introduced to a specific culture other
than European or mainstream North
American cultures.
In addition, students are to gain entry
into another culture by learning to speak
and read a language other than their
native language. For this part of the
Perspective, students are required to have
demonstrated proficiency in a modern
language or American Sign Language for
hearing students.
The modem language requirement will
be determined by assessing previous
experience and subsequent placement:
Modem Language
Course Placement
Experience
or Requirement
College level - none
(0-2 semesters in High School)

Students who are required to complete
two semesters of modern language must
complete the requirement with sequential
courses in the same language. Hearing
students who have demonstration compe
tence in American Sign Language by
passing an approved course sequence will
have fulfilled IA-2 and IA-3 Perspectives.
Perspective: The Natural World
This Perspective is intended to help
students understand themselves in relation
to the physical world. Their active role as
observers, explorers and moral agents will
be emphasized. Sufficient technical training
in scientific knowledge, concepts and
methods will be provided to equip students for critical and intelligent participation in public debates on technical issues.
From this Perspective, students should
gain an understanding of and critically
reflect on:
1. Selected aspects of the natural world.
2. The characteristics, strengths and
limitations of science and the scientific
method, and the complex relations between
data and theories, at least in part through
practical laboratory experience.
3. The history of science, its relations to
other historical/social development and
the variety of ways persons and civilizations have approached the natural world.
4. The relations and differences between
science and theology; the mutual influences
of technology, values, and the natural/
physical environment; the limits imposed
on humans by the natural environment and
the interconnectednessof all living systems.
5. The importance of symbol systems
such as mathematics in attempting to
describe, classlfy and model objects
and events.
Academic Information
H THE EIGHT PERSPECTIVES:
RATIONALE
The Augsburg faculty has designed
a cohesive academic program incorporating general education, major courses,
supporting courses and elective courses
leading to the bachelor's degree. The
core of the Augsburg curriculum is found
in the liberal arts as expressed in the
General Education component of the
college curriculum.
Augsburg, in its Mission Statement,
declares the College exists "To develop
future leaders of service to the world by
providing high quality educational
opportunities which are based in the liberal
arts and shaped by the faith and values of
the Christian church, by the context of a
vital metropolitan setting, and by an
intentionally diverse campus community."
One way which the College seeks consciously to realize this Mission is through
its General Education curriculum, which
Augsburg has divided under two headings:
liberal arts perspectives and skills.
The term "perspective" assumes that
not only are we engaged in the search for
truth, but that this requires the searcher to
consider questions from a variety of
viewpoints, each of which has something
valuable to contribute to the whole. These
perspectives are not strictly identified with
traditional disciplines, but are understood
in ways which encourage multi-disciplinary reflections on the questions at issue.
They combine concerns about content with
those of process and approach, directed
ultimately to making the student a more
effective learner and participant in society.
The following requirements reflect the
way in which Augsburg has chosen to view
the liberal arts. Two of the four features of
the Mission Statement are embodied in the
General Education Perspectives: "The
Character and Mission of Augsburg
College: The Christian Faith and the City."
These Perspectives emphasize that the College's affiliation with the Lutheran Church,
its insistence on the value of knowing the
approach which derives from the Christian
roots of the College and its location in the
city, deserve special consideration in
Augsburg's educational program.
The third feature - that Augsburg is a
liberal arts institution - is also emphasized in the other General Education
Perspectives. Certain dimensions of human
life -of what it is to be human - form
the core of the required liberal arts experience. These overall perspectives on what it
is to be human can themselves be studied
from the vantage points of the various
academic disciplines.
Students need to learn about themselves, about what it is to be a person.
Hence, the Perspective on Human Identity.
But the person exists in both a social
community and a natural world. Hence,
the importance of the Perspectives on the
Social World and the Natural World.
Because the way in which we understand
ourselves derives largely from our Western
heritage, students need to learn about and
reflect on significant aspects of this
heritage. Thus, the Perspective on the
Western Heritage. At the same time, to
focus on the West alone would be ethnocentric: We live in a global society. Hence
the Perspective on Inter-Cultural Awareness. Attention to moral values is found not
only in the Perspective on the Character
and Mission of the College: the Christian
Faith, but throughout the other perspectives as well. The Perspective on Aesthetic
Values enables students to focus upon
-
6:
54
Academic Information
aesthetic works created by themselves or
others, which convey fundamental
insights, express beauty and enhance life.
Finally, the Mission Statement emphasizes that we are concerned with academic
excellence. This has a number of features,
including the way we teach all the courses
in General Education. Beyond this,
academic excellence presupposes that
students have the requisite skills to do
college-level work. The General Education
Requirements are couched in a context
which pays attention to the skills of both
incoming and graduating students. Entrylevel skill requirements in a number of
critical areas, including reading, writing,
mathematics and critical thinking, will be
assessed and help given to students who
need it. Graduation-level skills are also
emphasized, so that students not only
maintain but develop their skills during
their Augsburg experience.
The General Education Requirements
provide a coherent way to address the
Mission of Augsburg College. They are not
the only way, neither do they guarantee
that students who graduate from
Augsburg possess the desired knowledge
and character traits. What they do is
provide a coherent description of the
context in which we liberally educate
students, a clear statement of expected
outcomes and an opportunity for students
to see and understand the complexity of
what it is to be human and Christian in an
urban setting.
STUDENTS ENTERING UNDER
DISTRIBUTION CURRICULUM
Former Students
Former Augsburg students, readmitted
to complete a degree, have a choice
between using the catalog in effect when
they first enrolled, if possible, or using the
catalog in effect at the point of readmission
provided that they have been away from
college for at least one calendar year.
Regular Students Enrolled Before June,1991
Students enrolled before June, 1991,
have a choice of using all graduation
requirements in effect when first enrolled
or changing to the graduation requirements
in effect beginning in September 1991. No
combination of requirements may be made.
Students Entering Augsburg September,
1991, or Later
Students entering under the following
classifications will follow the Distribution
Requirements as outlined below.
Transfer students who entered in
1991-1992 as sophomores, juniors or seniors;
Those entering in 1992-1993classified
as juniors or seniors;
Those entering in 1993-1994 classified
as seniors.
All other students entering Augsburg
September, 1991, or later will follow the
requirements listed in the section titled
"The Augsburg General Education
Curriculum" (see page 55).
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION DISTRIBUTION CURRICULUM
1. Completion of 35 course credits At least 11course credits must be Upper
Division, numbered in the 300s and 400s.
Not more than 13 may be in one department, except in certain approved majors 14 (Accounting) for the Bachelor of Arts
degree, 17 (Music Education) or 20 (Music
Performance) for the Bachelor of Music
degree, 15 for the Bachelor of Science
(Social Work), and 18 for the Bachelor of
Academic Information 6:
Science (Music Therapy) or Bachelor of
Science (Nursing) degree. The course total
must include three Interims for students
whose complete academic work is at
Augsburg. For transfer students, the credit
total must include one less Interim course
than the number of years at Augsburg. This
is calculated on each transfer student's
evaluation of transfer credits.
No more than these maximums may be
applied toward the 35 total course credits
required: two courses by independent/
directed study; four courses of internship;
and eight course credits with a grade of
Pass (P). Non-traditional grading (7)also
has these limits: two in the major except
Elementary Education (two in the major
plus student teaching) and Nursing (no P/
N grading is permitted); one in the minor if
approved by the department chairperson.
2. Completion of a Major -Requirements for each major are listed under the
departmental headings.
3. First Year Experience (FYE) -All
students who enter the College as freshmen
in the weekday schedule program must
complete satisfactorily the ME Fall
Orientation and Seminar. See the program
section on the First Year Experience for a
full description.
4. Grade Point Average -2.0 for most
majors. A grade point average of 2.0 is
required over all courses taken and
specifically in all courses which apply
toward the major. Some majors, licensure
and certification require higher grades in
each course or a higher grade point average. (For example, see licensure in education, music education, music performance,
music therapy, nursing, social work.) See
the departmental section for details.
5. Residence - The last year of fulltime study or equivalent (no less than 7 of
the last 9 credits) must be completed at
Augsburg or within an approved ACTC
exchange program. No less than a total of 9
credits are to be taken at Augsburg College.
Contact the Registrar if an official interpretation is needed.
Writing
A course in writing (English 111) or
certification of demonstrated proficiency
by the Department of English. Exemption
tests are given during the summer and fall
orientation periods and periodically
throughout the year.
Liberal Arts
An approved course from each of these
seven areas:
Mathematics/Physics
Psychology/Sociology
Chemistry/Biology
Economics/Political Science
English/Speech, Communication
History/Philosophy and Theatre
Arts (devoted to the study of
literature)
Art/Music
A list of approved courses is available
from advisers and the Registrar's Office.
Modem Languages
Two courses (111and 112) of one
language at Augsburg. Students who place
above the 111level of a language will take
one additional course at placement level in
that language or two courses (111 and 112)
of another language. International students
should consult with the Registrar.
Religion
Three approved courses in religion, of
which not more than one may be an
Inte* course, are required. The number
- Academic Information
of religion courses required for graduation
is adjusted for transfer students. Transfer
students should check their Evaluation of
Transfer Credit form, or consult the
Registrar's Office.
Urban Concerns or Women's Studies
or Minority Studies
One course. Courses approved to
meet this requirement are published each
term. Information is available at the
Registrar's Office.
Lifetime Sports
Demonstrated proficiency in two different lifetime sports is required. Lifetime
sports are no-credit courses and are not
included in the 35-course requirement.
EXPLANATION OF GRADES
Student achievement in courses is
measured primarily by final examinations.
Shorter tests, written papers, oral reports
and other types of evaluation also are used.
Most courses are offered with grading
options -traditional grading on a 4.0 to
0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system,
in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better
and N means no credit and a grade of less
than 2.0.
PassINo 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".
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
graduation with distinction. Transfer
students should be especially aware of
this requirement.
See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements, pages 55 and 56.
Certain courses have restrictions and
are offered on one grading system only
(i.e. Lifetime Sports are graded only PIN).
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. A fee is
charged for any changes after the first five
days of classes.
Number Grades
Number grades are used with these
definitions:
4.0
3.5
3.0
2.5
2.0
Achieves highest standards of
excellence
Achieves above basic course
standards
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 N (No credit) are
not computed in the grade point average.
Academic lntormation
An incomplete grade (I) may be given
only in the case of extreme emergency. To
receive an incomplete grade, a student
must receive permission of the instructor of
the course; must file a form stating the
reasons for the request, the work required
to complete the course, the plan and date
for completing the work, and comments
from the instructor; and must gain the
approval of the Registrar. If permission is
granted, the necessary work must be
completed in enough time to allow
evaluation of the work by the instructor
and filing of a grade before the final day of
the following semester. If the work is not
completed by that date, the grade for the
course becomes a 0.0.
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 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 than one year).
An instructor reserves the discretion of not
giving an X where satisfactory progress is
not demonstrated.
A course in which a grade of 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 aedit and a grade, but may be
audited. All courses taken and grades
earned each term remain on the academic
record. Only the credits and grades earned
the second time, for legitimately repeated
courses, are counted toward graduation
and in the grade point average.
A course is given a grade of W when it
is dropped after the deadline for dropping
classes without a notation on the record.
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses
without aedit or grade may do so by
registering for Audit (V). Full-time
students may audit a course without
charge. The charge for part-time students is
listed under College Costs in the Financing
Your Education section on page 18. 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
(Withdrawn).
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 courses taken.*
*Courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned
Classification
Students are classified in August and at
the end of the Fall and Interim terms.

Academic Information
Sophomores - Seven courses
completed.
Juniors - 16 courses completed.
Seniors - 24 courses completed.
International Baccalaureate Program (IB)
Courses earned from the International
Baccalaureate Program will be considered
by the College for advanced placement and
appropriate credit. Departmental guidelines are available at the Registrar's Office.
ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS
LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM
Augsburg College recognizes that
learning can and does take place in many
life situations. Some of this learning may
be appropriate for credit recognition
within the disciplines that compose the
academic program of a liberal arts college.
The APL program (Assessment of
Previous Learning) at Augsburg provides
a means by which a student's previous
learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution,
may be presented for examination for
possible credit toward the completion of
a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life experience,
however, is appropriate for aedit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning
must meet two essential criteria: 1)it is
relevant to course work in a field of study
within the Augsburg liberal arts cumculum 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. f i e
following is a brief description of each
of these means of assessment:
Advanced Placement Program
Test (AP) - Advanced placement in
courses beyond the beginning level is
granted to students with scores of 3,4
and 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement
Program Test. Additional credit or placement is at the discretion of the department.
Inquiries should be addressed to the Office
of the Registrar.
The College Level Examination
Program (CLEP) -This is a series of
standardized tests which have been
developed by the College Board and are
offered to students for a small fee at
regional testing centers. (The regional
testing center for this area is the University
of Minnesota.) Students who score at or
above the 65th percentile on a subject
examination may receive academic credit
for that subject at Augsburg College.
Additional information about CLEP tests is
available from the Office of the Registrar.
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 instrument
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 pass/
no credit basis only, and there is a charge
per exam of $485.00 for a full course aedit.
The Credit Assessment Program
(CAP) - This is a aedit assessment
alternative in which a faculty committee
completes a credit evaluation of a learning
portfolio submitted by the student. The
faculty committee is composed of the
Registrais Office representative and two
faculty members from fields of study
Academic Information 6!
directly related to the student's previous
learning. Informational meetings and
consultation are provided for students who
wish to prepare a portfolio of previous
learning for credit assessment. This may
include a personal meeting with the CAP
committee. In completing the evaluation of
a student's previous learning, the CAP
committee applies the following criteria:
There is documentable evidence of a
cognitive component in the previous
learing experience that involved prescribed
and/or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts course work.
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 four courses of academic work at
Augsburg College with a cumulative
Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly
recommended that the process not be used
when four or fewer courses remain for
graduation. There is an application deposit
to initiate the credit assessment process,
and a charge for each semester credit
applied to the student's transcript if credit
is approved.
Transcript credit will be granted on the
basis of semester credits, and the total
number of credits granted will be divided
by four to determine the number of course
credits applied to graduation. These credits
will be recorded with the course number of
CAP 2xx. Application of this credit toward
distribution requirements, Upper Division,
and academic majors and minors may be
subsequently addressed by the departments involved in response to a formal
request by the student.
Maximum Credit Accepted for
Previous Learning -While Augsburg
College recognizes the validity of
learning that takes place outside the
traditional classroom, this learning must be
placed in the context of formal study in
campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of eight
courses (about one-fourth of a baccalau'Ieate degree) on transcript credit that is
obtained through previous experiential
learning. In compiling the eight courses of
credit for previous experiential learning,
the student may use any combination of
the four assessment processes available
in the APL program: AP exams, CLEP
exams, departmental comprehensive
exams and credit granted through CAP
Committee assessment.
English as a Second Language (ESL)
Program
Students who declare a language other
than English to be their primary language,
or who are citizens of another country,
must take the ESL placement test in
conjunction with the English writing
placement test at orientation. Students'
placement in ESL, ENG 101Developmental
Writing or ENG 111Effective Writing will
be determined by their scores on the
Michigan test (80-100 range for exemption
from ESL) and by a writing sample.
Near the end of each term of the English
as a Second Language 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
- Academic Information
'O
whether additional ESL course work is
required. Usually a score of 80 to 100 and a
course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will fulfill the
student's ESL requirement.
If students do not meet the ESL
requirement, they will remain in ENG 2171
218 until they meet the criteria stated
above. Academic credit toward the degree
will normally be granted for no more than
two courses.
Students who fulfill the ESL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the modem language
requirement for graduation.
ACADEMIC PROGRESS, PROBATION
AND DISMISSAL
The College requires that students
maintain the following cumulative grade
point averages (GPA):
Freshman -A student who has taken
fewer than seven courses with a cumulative GPA of 1.6 or higher
Sophomore -A student who has
taken fewer than 16 courses with a cumulative GPA of 1.7 or higher
Junior-A student who has taken
fewer than 24 courses with a cumulative
GPA of 1.9 or higher
Senior - A student who has taken 24
or more courses with a cumulative GPA of
2.0 or higher.
It should be noted that a minimum
GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation with
certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA.
Students whose academic achievement
falls below these guidelines will either be
placed on scholastic probation at the end of
the term or will be continued on probation
or will be dismissed from the College. In
addition, a freshman who receives two zero
grades or a sophomore who receives three
zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, dismissal from
the College is not automatic. Each case is
reviewed by the Committee on Student
Standing. Evidence of the student's
commitment to academic progress is the
major consideration in deciding whether or
not to dismiss a student. Students who
have a poor academic record may be
strongly advised to withdraw before the
end of a term. Those on probation who
voluntarily withdraw from the College, as
well as those who are dismissed, must have
special permission to re-enroll.
Students may be removed from
probation when the cumulative GPA
reaches the minimum levels stated above.
Students placed on probation as freshmen
for having earned two zero grades may be
removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not
earned additional zero grades, and if their
cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Students
placed on probation as sophomores for
having earned three zero grades may be
removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative
GPA reaches 1.9.
The College reserves the right to
dismiss any student who does not meet the
guidelines stated above. Once a student is
dismissed, he or she may appeal the
decision within 10 days to the Committee
on Student Standing.
Dean's List
The Dean's List, compiled after
each semester, lists students whose grade
point average for a semester is 3.5 or
Academic Information
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. Lf permission is given by the
student, an announcement is sent to the
hometown newspaper of each student on
the Dean's List.
Graduation with Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined as follows:
Summa cum laude - 3.8 to 4.0
cumulative GPA
Magna cum laude -3.6 up to but not
including 3.8 cumulative GPA
Cum laude -3.3 up to but not
including 3.6 cumulative GPA
To quallfy for graduation with distinction, transfer students must have completed two years (14 traditionally graded
course credits) of work at Augsburg.
Veterans of Military Service
Augsburg is approved by the State
Approving Agency for Veterans Education.
Veterans should consult with the Office of
the Registrar about completion of the
enrollment certificate and the forwarding
of other information to the Veterans
Administration. Veterans will need to meet
the requirements of the Veterans Administration regarding repayment of educational
assistance funds received.
W FOUR YEAR ASSURANCE PROGRAM
This program applies to students who
enter the Day School schedule as full-time
freshmen in the fall of 1994 and thereafter.
New freshmen are assured that they will be
able to graduate,in four years -if they
maintain continuous full-time enrollment
for four years, maintain a 2.0 GPA and
follow advising guidelines - or they will
receive the needed remaining courses free
of additional tuition. A few professional
majors are excluded from this program.

A
s 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
Parts: the academic
disciplines. The knowledge of individual
disciplines is subdivided into courses
which make it more accessible to students.
These courses can be arranged in various
ways to construct majors, to create the
substance of a broad general education and
to give students the opportunity to study
areas of particular individual interest.
Descriptions of courses are arranged by
departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject
matter to aid students in planning a
program. A syllabus containing a more
detailed explanation of content, approach
and requirements for a particular course can
be obtained from the instructor.
Department entries also contain a
narrative discussion of the educational
philosophy of each department, its goals
and its place in the College's program. A
listing of requirements for individual majors
and minors follows the narrative.

(ACTC) each spring lists offerings and
locations for Fall and Spring terms.
Since some courses are offered in
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 schedulesfor courses
offeredin January Interim, Summer School,

are published in
separate
Credits
A full course is offered for one credit. A
few fractional courses, for one-half or onequarter credit, are offered in the Division of
Professional Studies. Unless noted, all
courses are one course credit. A full course
has the approximate value of four semester
credits or six quarter hours. Most courses
meet for three 60-minute periods or two 90minute periods a week, in addition to
laboratories.
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 freshmen, 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. A student may
enroll in a course when a prerequisite has
not been fulfilled if thereis prior approval
by the professor teaching the course and the
academic adviser.

A
rt is important as a field of study for
our time. &survival as a culture may
very well depend on whether we are able
to create order and beauty in the design
and function of communities. Realizing
this, we have made design and sensitivity
to all aspects of visual experience central to
the art program at Augsburg.
A liberal arts college like Augsburg is
an ideal setting for the study of art because
it provides a constant possibility for the
interaction of ideas, disciplines and
attitudes. At Augsburg, art study is further
enhanced by associations with a sigruficant
number of art galleries and museums in the
Twin Cities area.
Giving and receiving visual messages is
so much a part of everyday life that it is
often taken for granted. At the same time,
however, the interchange of visual ideas is
frequently misunderstood. The task of the
artist, art teacher and art historian is to
celebrate visual experience through a
variety of media and art examples. In short,
the visual arts teach us how to see.
Cooperative Education and Internships
in studio art and art history provide onthe-job, supervised, evaluated experiences
which contribute to the student's overall
education and development. Primary goals
include improvement of art and museum
skills, production and creative strategies.
Because of the College's commitment to
the liberal arts, the visual arts, as taught at
Augsburg, draw ideas and inspiration from
all disciplines. Art as a human activity does
involve manual skill, although to become
broadly sigruficant it should interact with
the content available in other fields, such as
language, history, drama, music, literature,
philosophy, theology, business, physical
education and science.
Hundreds of specific careers exist in the
general area of art, such as teaching in
public schools and colleges, ceramics,
interior design, photography, film and
video work, painting, gallery and museum
work and design. Augsburg Art Department graduates have worked in many of
these fields.

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

c
hemistry is the science of the changes
in matter, examining those changes and
working toward an understanding of them.
Correlating the results of physics and
opening the vistas of molecular biology,
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.
*To provide an afmosphere 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.
Chemists as scientists must be well
versed in the science of chemistry,
knowledgeable in fact and theory for
solving scientific problems, and capable
of providing a public understanding of
their work including potential problems
as well as benefits.
*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.
Chemists as people must be broadly
educated in order to understand themselves and their society. The liberal arts
core of religion, humanities, the arts and
the social sciences is imperative if a
chemist is to be truly human and therefore
truly scientific.
The Department is on the List of
Approved Schools of the American
chemical Society (ACS) and offers a
chemisty major which meets the chemistry
background required by many fields.
Consonant with these ideas, the
Department of Chemistry has established
the following objectives to help its students
develop into mature scientists:
*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.
*To provide programs of study for
professional goals in addition to the
traditional positions as chemists.
*To encourage students to take a broad
view of their education and to seriously
study areas outside of the sciences.

EASTAND SOUTHEASTASIANSTUDIES
A
major in East Asian Studies is
offered through Augsburg and the other
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities
(ACTC). This is an inter-college, interdepartmental program which is available
as a result of the cooperation and crossregistration possibilities among Augsburg
College, Hamline University, Macalester
College, The College of St. Catherine and
the University of St. Thomas. The program
pools the resources and expertise within
the five institutions. This major enables
students to acquire a broad knowledge of
Japan, China and other East Asian nations
and to gain a functional knowledge of the
language of one country.
Career opportunities for those who
attain a liberal arts degree in East Asian
Studies are diverse. Majors have the
opportunity to be involved in government
service, international business, journalism,
language instruction, Asian arts and
intercultural communication. The major
provides a foundation for graduate
work in various fields such as anthropology, economics, history, international
relations, business, law, political science,
sociology and theatre. This major is also
recommended for those interested in
education and work with social and
recreational agencies.
East and Southeast Asian Studies Faculty
Martha Johnson, Director
courses, two of which must be Upper
Division (strongly recommended that one
of these be a history course on China or
Japan); and an East Asian Studies Seminar.
A term of study abroad and the completion
of a minor in a discipline are strongly
recommended.
Study abroad opportunities for the
semester or a year are available in Hong
Kong, Japan, Korea and the People's
Republic of China. Study abroad strengthens the East Asian studies major by
offering a cross-cultural experience in the
country of specialization.
Language Courses
Elementary and intermediate courses in
Chinese are offered at Hamline University.
Elementary and intermediate courses in
Japanese are offered at Macalester College
and the University of St. Thomas. There is a
contractual arrangement with the University of Minnesota to take Chinese or
Japanese languages (without extra tuition
charges); see campus adviser. Non-majors
are also eligible to take the Chinese and
Japanese language courses.
Minor in East Asian Studies
Five courses, no more than two of
which may be in the language. A minor in
East Asian studies provides exposure to an
area of East Asia which would complement
other disciplines.
Minor in East a'nd Southeast Asian
Studies
Major in East Asian Studies
The requirements for the major consist
of nine courses. Courses in the major must
be approved by the campus adviser, and
are distributed as follows: four courses in
an East Asian language; four additional
A minor in East and Southeast Asian
Studies is an area of concentration at

T
he Economics Department at
Augsburg offers s t u d e k a program which
stresses a strong theoretical background,
quantitative analysis and an emphasis on
both national and international issues.
Students who graduate with a major in
the Economics Department are well prepared to continue their education in a
variety of fields or to work successfully in
the business world and government
because of the strong liberal arts emphasis
within the major.
Currently, three Economics majors are
offered to students. The Economics major is
designed primarily for students who are
planning graduate or advanced professional studies. The Applied Economics
major generally leads to careers in the
business world or government. Finally, the
combined Economics/Business Administration major is designed for those who
wish to have more flexibility in planning
their program of study.
As graduates, students will face a world
in constant change. Students have to
prepare themselves to take advantage of
whatever opportunities become available.
The study of Economics provides a firm
foundation for confronting change because
it presents a disciplined way to analyze
and to make choices. Some reasons for
studying economics are: economics deals
with current problems; economics is a
successful and prestigious social science;
economics employs theoretical models and
the scientific method; an economics major
prepares students for community leadership; and an economics major leads to a
great diversity of career opportunities.
These include careers in business, law,
teaching, journalism, politics, banking and
finance, service in government, educational
administration, both private and public
international service and industrial
relations. A degree in Economics may
prove to be a valuable credential. We
encourage students who major in economics to learn to be somebody rather than to
simply learn to do something.
Students are also able to combine an
economics major with other disciplines
such as business administration, international relations, mathematics, computer
science, management information systems
(MIS), political science, history and Nordic
Area Studies.
Internships are available and
highly recommended. Students must
consult with the Department chair and
the Internship office before registering for
academic credit.

LDUCATION DEPARTMENT - EDE,
s
tudents interested in attaining teacher
licensure or developing a background in
education as a base for advanced study in
other careers will find opportunities in the
Department of Education.
Professional education combines the
study of theory with practice, and field
experiences are an essential part of the
course offerings. The location of Augsburg
College is particularly advantageous for
field experiences because of the wide
variety of public, private and special
schools in the Twin Cities.
Classroom teaching is the career that
first comes to mind for graduates of teacher
education programs. Augsburg graduates
are found in many classrooms within the
Twin Cities area. In addition, they provide
educational services in classrooms across
the nation and abroad.
The teacher education program coupled
with the liberal arts program serves as a
solid base for graduate education. Some
teaching fields require graduate work
beyond the initial license in either elementary or secondary education. However, not
all graduates choose to teach in school
settings. Teacher education graduates are
also found in business, working in management, sales, production and service areas.
As of April 1,1988, all persons are
required to take the PPST (a set of basic
competency tests prescribed by the
Kindergarten-Elementary Major and
Licensure Requirements:
EDU 265 Orientation to Education in an
Urban Setting and Field
Experience
EDS, EDU
Minnesota Board of Teaching) in reading,
writing skills and mathematics prior to
beginning Upper Division courses.
All students must apply for acceptance
into the Education Department. Any
Education course grade below 2.0 must
be retaken.
Licensure in Kindergarten-Elementary
Education is available both through Day
School and Weekend College. Selected
secondary education programs are also
available in Weekend College.
Student Teaching Abroad
Selected Education Department
students may participate in an International Student Teaching Abroad program.
Students have options for student teaching
in dozens of countries through the international and American School network. Those
interested in further information should
contact the Education Department.
Students who student teach abroad will do
part of their student teaching in the Metro
area under direct Augsburg faculty
supervision.

ugsburg College has cooperative
arrangements with three universities to
allow the student to earn a Bachelor of Arts
degree from Augsburg College and an
engineering degree from either the
University of Minnesota Institute of
Technology, Minneapolis; Washington
University School of Engineering and
Applied Science, St. Louis, Missouri; or
Michigan Technological University,
Houghton, Michigan. Because of the special
requirements and opportunities of these
programs, early consultation with the
Augsburg Engineering Adviser is necessary. Applications for these programs
require the recommendation of the
Augsburg Engineering Adviser.
Engineering Adviser
Stuart Anderson
University of Minnesota
The Institute of Technology and
Augsburg cooperative arrangement
provides for two dual degree engineering
programs:
Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Engineering
(B.A. / B.E.) enables students to receive a
Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg
College and a Bachelor of Engineering
degree from the University of Minnesota.
The program typically involves three years
at Augsburg and two years at the 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 ArtsIMaster of Engineering
(B.A. / M.E.) enables students to receive a
Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg
College and a Master of Engineering degree
from the University of Minnesota. This
program involves four years at Augsburg
and, typically, two years at the Institute of
Technology.
The curriculum is the same as the B.A./
B.E. curriculum with the addition of several
extra courses that are completed at
Augsburg during the senior year to
minimize the number of undergraduate
courses, if any, that students must take at
the University before proceeding through
the graduate curriculum. The number of
such courses varies by IT department and
area of emphasis within a department.
Application for admission into the
B.A./M.E. program should be initiated
during the second semester of the junior
year at Augsburg. Formal application for
the program may be completed during the
senior year. Those admitted will receive
special counseling from the Institute of
Technology staff regarding courses that
should be taken during the senior year at
Augsburg. Participants in the B.A./M.E.
program are not guaranteed admission to
the Institute of Technology.
Washington University (Three Year Plan)
Michigan Technological University (Dual
Degree Plan)
These two programs enable students to
receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from
Augsburg and a Bachelor of Engineering
degree from Washington University School
of Engineering and AppEed Science or
Michigan Technological University in a
five-year period.
24
Engineering
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
will complete course requirements, have
the requisite cumulative grade point
average and are recommended by the
Engineering Adviser of Augsburg College.

hose 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.
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 different cultures.

irtually all students at Augsburg
College will interact at some point in their
college years with the Department of
Health and Physical Education. It is the
philosophy of the Department to provide
quality experiences in professional preparation and education for lifelong participation in physical activity. In addition, the
gifted athlete as well as the occasional
participant will find ample opportunity for
athletic and developmental activities.
The Physical Education Department
provides the organizational framework for
a wide range of educational experiences,
including several major and minor programs: general education in Physical
Education; men's and women's intercollegiate athletic programs; intramural
programs for men and women; and athletic
facilities for developmental and recreational activities.
Department graduates have traditionally found employment in educational
settings. Additional career opportunities
are possible in YMCA/YWCA programs
and community services, municipal park
and recreation departments as adult fitness
instructors, and in working with people
with disabilities.

HISTORY
- HIS
H
istory 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 which makes scattered individuals
into a community."
A society's history is also a storehouse
of human experiences that enables us to
deal more knowledgeably with the
continuities and changes in current issues.
Established disciplines, as history long has
been, train the mind by developing
concepts and skills that enable one to deal
with masses of information. Many have
found that history is an entree into the
richer enjoyment of travel, cultural events
and the broad reading enjoyed by the
educated person. Accordingly, history has
long held a major role in the liberal arts.
This is true at Augsburg.
The Department has strength in, and
requires of its majors, work in four main
areas: ancient and medieval, modem
Europe, United States and the non-Western
world. The Department's graduates are
well represented among professional
historians; at present, some are in graduate schools preparing for such careers.
More have distinguished themselves as
social studies teachers in elementary and
secondary schools and current projections
indicate that there will be growing opportunity in that field for history majors. For
most of our students, however, the study
of history provides one of the better
undergraduate liberal arts experiences,
valuable both for a wide variety of career
choices and personal enrichment.
History Faculty

A
t least since Soaates, scholars have
appreciated the value of mathematics in
developing the skills of a-itical thinking,
understanding abstract concepts, and
analyzing and solving problems. Coupled
with the more modem needs of quantitative reasoning, these skills are still essential
for any liberally educated person. Mathematics courses at Augsburg are intended
to help develop these skills.
Mathematical ideas have had a formative impact on the development of civilization. Since a liberal education should
include a variety of perspectives on our
culture and heritage, a study of mathematics and its influences is an important part
of a liberal arts education.
The Department aims to provide its
majors with skills necessary to serve the
larger community through a variety of
careers. Mathematics majors are prepared
for graduate school or work in industry or
service professions. Students may pursue a
concentration in applied mathematics or
the more traditional major. Internship and
Cooperative Education options help
students take advantage of Augsburg's
proximity to the many technically-oriented
enterprises in the city.
Additionally, an increasing number of
academic disciplines require a working
knowledge of the tools of mathematics.
This Department serves students majoring
in a wide variety of fields. Toward the goal
of serving students with a diversity of
needs, the Department uses an integrated
curriculum that introduces mathematics
and science majors to modern mathematical developments and a wide variety of
concepts in the first two years, not just
calculus. A major federal grant supported
the development of this AUGMENT
curriculum.

T
he Modem Languages
- - Department at
Augsburg College contributes in many
ways to realizing the College's mission of
providing liberal arts education for service
in today's world. The Department is
committed to the view that education
should go beyond career preparation. So
viewed, second language study goes
beyond the development of new communication skills to foster an abiding awareness
that the splendid diversity of human
languages, literatures and cultures represents a rich historic legacy developed in
different ways by many nations to be
shared by all in common. The Departmental faculty believes that familiarity with the
language and culture of another people is
an essential step in the development of a
global perspective and hence is indispensable in the education of Augsburg students.
The Modem Languages Department
offers language, literature, and culture
courses leading to majors in French,
German, Norwegian and Spanish. Intre
ductory courses in Qibwe and Russian 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.
In addition to courses in language and
culture, the Department offers linguistics
courses in which students may go beyond
the study of individual languages to
investigate the general principles that
operate in and shape all languages. In this
way the study of linguistics provides a
unique view of one of the most intriguing
and central facets of the human mind.
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, social work, the
diplomatic corps, the health professions, or
the ministry may wish to take a second
major or minor in modem languages. In
addition, a minor in languages or linguistics is a valuable research tool for those
intending to pursue graduate study in most
academic disciplines.

I
he Augsburg Nursing Program is
designed exclusively for registered nurses
who want to increase their opportunities in
the health care field.
The scope of nursing practice is
changing and expanding. Nurses are being
called on to function in a variety of settings
that differ from those in the past. Today
nurses work in hospitals, clinics, corporations, government agencies, schools and
community organizations. Some are selfemployed, m i n g their own businesses.
All of these nurses provide comprehensive
health assessment for individuals from all
cultures and socioeconomic levels. From
helping parents have safe deliveries of
healthy infants to coordinating home care
for the dying, nurses assist people through
the entire life span.
The bachelor's degree equips the nurse
with a working knowledge of the biological, physical, social, behavioral and nursing
sciences. The nursing program at Augsburg
College also provides the educational
opportunities to increase skills in critical
thinking, clinical investigation and
decision-making that prepare nurses to
handle challenging new positions in
today's health-care field.
Augsburg's nursing program, leading
to a Bachelor of Science degree with a
major in Nursing, is accredited by the
National League for Nursing. Graduates of
the program are eligible to apply for public
health nurse registration in Minnesota.
With one additional course, they are
eligible to apply for school nurse certification.

he Philosophy Department assists
students to understand issues raised in the
traditional areas of philosophy. To this end,
we consider problems of knowledge and
questions of truth, the nature of reality, the
basis of values and rules for correct
reasoning. Our goals are to instill in
students a love of truth, to inspire a
curiosity about the sigruficanceand
meaning of the world they experience, and
to develop the skills of critical analysis and
creative synthesis.
studies such as law, medicine or the
Christian ministry. Many enter the
marketplace, confident that the study of
philosophy has given them the ability to
think critically.
The liberal arts curriculum provides an
opportunity for students to explore
different aspects of the world from a
variety of perspectives or disciplines.
Philosophy plays a central role in the
liberal arts by encouraging students to
explore questions about themselves,
human experience, right and wrong, the
world and God. Beginning with two
Socratic principles: "The unexamined life is
not worth living" and "Know yourself," the
study of philosophy assists students in the
realization of their unique potential for
understanding and self-fulfillment.

Introduction to Philosophy
Philosophy raises some of the most basic questions that human beings can
ask about meaning, ideas, beauty and truth. The purpose of this course is
to provide the student with some experience in examining these concepts,
thereby to sharpen the critical and analytical skills required to evaluate
and construct a system of ideas and beliefs. (Fall, Spring)
PHI 120
Ethics
Ethics studies our moral beliefs, helping students to consider the bases
they use to make moral judgements. The course explores the major
philosophical approaches to evaluating moral actions, and then applies
them to contemporary personal and social moral issues. Throughout the
course Christian ethics will inform our considerations. Students taking
PHI 120 may not take PHI 125. (Fall, Spring)
PHI 125
Ethics and Human Identity
This course is a philosophical study of the role of human understanding,
feelings and action with respect to the pursuit of happiness. We begin by
asking what the end or purpose of human life is, assess the role of reason,
will and passion with respect to this end, and then decide on the moral
and intellectual virtues required to reach the end. The topic of friendship
and human love is investigated next. The course ends with an analysis of
human happiness. Students taking PHI 125 may not take PHI 120. (Fall,
Spring)
PHI 175
Philosophy of Love and Sex
We begin by studying some common conceptions and misconceptions
of romantic love and some philosophers' definitions of it. We then try
to decide what it is to be in love with someone, and how this differs
from just being friends or sexually desiring them. Finally, we consider
issues such as the ethics of sex, sexual attraction, marriage, adultery
and homosexuality.
PHI 230
Logic
Students learn to distinguish arguments from exposition. Then they learn
the rules which govern valid arguments and develop their ability to
recognize and construct sound arguments. The last part of the course
focuses on inductive reasoning.
PHI 241
History of Philosophy I: The Classical Philosophers
The writings of Plato and Aristotle are the foundations of all philosophical
thought in Western civilization. In this course students read and analyze
some of the key works by Plato and Aristotle, as well as work in Stoicism,
Epicureanism and Neoplatonism. (Fall)

PHI 344
History of Philosophy IV: 20th Century Philosophy
What lies behind 20th century philosophy's love affair with language? Is
truth that which works? Can we remake philosophy as a rigorous science?
These and other issues are dealt with in a study of the major representatives of linguistic analysis, pragmatism, existentialism, phenomenology
and post-modernism. (Suggested prior courses: PHI 241,242, and 343)
PHI 350
Philosophy of Religion

Independent Study
Jndividual study and research on some philosophical topic of interest
to the student, worked out in consultation with the faculty adviser.
(On request.)
See listing under Health and Physical
Education.
P
hysicists are not only curious about
the woild, but ambitious as well. Their aim
is to understand the fundamental principles which describe and govern all
physical aspects of the universe. Called
"natural philosophers" in previous
centuries, physicists investigate natural
systems by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical analysis. Physics
includes the study of systems ranging in
size from sub-atomic particles to the largest
of galaxies and from the relative stillness of
near absolute zero temperature to the fiery
activity of the stars. As a fascinating and
expanding area of study and as a basic
science, physics plays an important role in
many of the liberal arts disciplines and
contributes to society's understanding of
such areas as energy, weather, medical
science and space exploration.
Recognizing the importance of physics
in contemporary life and reaIizing that
keeping abreast of the rapid advances is an
ever increasing challenge, the Department
intends to bring to the students not only
basic concepts but also insights into recent
developments. In this process, the faculty
expects challenges to arise, be met and
stimulate sound thinking, perceptive
judgment and an interest in experimental
techniques.
To this end a rigorous major provides
students with the in-depth preparation
required for graduate study. More than
two-thirds of the graduates in Physics have
completed or are currently working toward
graduate degrees at a number of fine
universities across the nation. A major in
physics provides flexibility. It also serves as
a stepping stone for graduate work in
related areas such as computer science,
atmospheric science and meteorology,
astronomy, oceanography, biophysics,
environmental science, engineering and
medical and health related fields.
In addition, the Physics program at
Augsburg functions in a supportive role for
students majoring in mathematics, chemistry,biology and computer science. The
Department also supervises the PreEngineering program with degree programs available at cooperating universities
at both the bachelor's and the advanced
degree levels.
The Department maintains active
research programs through its Center for
Atmospheric and Space Sciences. Several
students work each academic year and
summer as research assistants in these
efforts, which are supported by NASA, the
National Science Foundation and other
federal agencies.
The Department also administers
Augsburg College's portion of funds
designated for the Minnesota Space Grant
College Consortium, funded by NASA.
Cooperative Education, internship and
undergraduate research programs provide
opportunities for students to apply their
physical science knowledge and problem
solving skills in practical.situations in
industrial, governmental and academic
settings. Students may participate in
alternating term Cooperative Education
programs or work part-time during two or
more academic terms. Internship opportunities alone generally involve only one
semester.
The Department serves the liberal arts
tradition by offering courses for the nonscience students that will enable them to
attain a general understanding of a
particular area of science. These courses
seek to provide the basic starting point for
further study and the opportunity to enable
students to follow new developments with
some degree of comprehension.

F
irmly grounded in the liberal arts
tradition, political science has roots in the
humanities, including philosophy and
history. Through its use of statistical
analysis, it relates not only to other
behavioral sciences, but also to mathematics and the sciences generally. The role and
sigruficance of authority in human affairs
establish the focus of political science;
because politics is a central and enduring
reality in the world, it affects and is
affected by many other human concerns.
As an academic discipline, political
science uses systematic inquiry and
analysis to examine political reality and to
suggest and test alternatives. The student
who majors in political science will explore
political ideas and values, investigate
political cooperation and conflict, analyze
and compare political systems and develop
perspectives on international relations. In
the process, the student will be encouraged
to relate insights from other liberal arts
disciplines such as philosophy, psychology,
economics, history and sociology to the
study of politics.
Providing work in several sub-fields of
political science, the major supplies the
breadth appropriate for graduate work in
the discipline, as well as in public administration, public policy analysis, law and
other professions. It also serves as a
foundation on which to develop careers in
public service, business, communications
and other fields. Legislative and other
Internships, as well as significant independent research projects, are within easy
reach of ~ u ~ s b uPolitical

Science
students in the Twin Cities area. Combined
with broad, balanced and flexible course
offerings, these special opportunities
enhance the student's potential for graduate study and a successful career.
Augsburg Political Science students
have the benefit of an experienced faculty
that brings a balanced expertise to the
course offerings, as well as special
strengths in interpreting politics in the
contexts of the mass communications
media, communism and American public
law. The Departmental faculty is committed to the view that the study of politics,
involving as it does an understanding of
the human heritage and the importance of
informed choice in human affairs, is an
important aspect of liberal learning.

IJSYCHOLOCY DEPARTMENT - PSY
P
sychology, with its emphasis on
behavioral observation and data, provides
a perspective on human activities which is
an integral part of a liberal education. The
goal of the Psychology program is the
improved understanding of human
behavior by studying how people cope
with their environment and interact with
each other.
The Department's courses have three
basic goals: (1) to introduce the student to
the current information and methods in
psychology as well as earlier approaches to
psychological questions; (2) to develop the
ability to analyze, interpret and evaluate
behavioral research, and (3) to provide
practice in the application of these principles. The Department program provides
an emphasis on both field experiences and
the theoretical foundation for graduate
study in psychology and related areas.
Cooperative Education and Internships are
designed to provide students with practical
pre-professional experience. On-the-job
experience gives students the opportunity
to test career fields and develop professional contacts.
Psychologists use a variety of methods
to study behavior, including experimentation, observation and clinical case analysis.
Faculty members in the Department of
Psychology at Augsburg have varied
professional specializations which include
areas such as counseling, physiological
psychology, human development, personality, social, and organizational psychology
and analysis of public policy.
The Psychology program's emphasis on
the use of a problem solving approach, the
acquisition of information about human
development and interaction, and the
development of human relations skills can
be beneficial in careers in business,
education and other social services, the
church and govenunent, as well as in
careers such as research, law and medicine.

have affected and continue to influence
language, literature, history, values and
political structures.
The student encounters this religious
tradition in studying these and other areas.
The study of religion and theology is
intended to make such encounters more
meaningful by a better knowledge of
biblical history and that of the Christian
church and by a larger acquaintance with
theological thought.
While it is true that the fundamental
orientation of this College is to the Christian faith, it is also true that the field of
religion obviously includes more than is
represented by the Christian faith. Large
segments of the earth's population live
by religious concepts and ideas which
are different from Christianity. The
Department of Religion seeks to introduce students to some of these major
religious traditions.
It is the hope and expectation of the
Department that students will become
better acquainted with the content and
character of the Christian faith, enabling
them to reflect theologically on their own
religious commitment. Courses in religion
are not intended to be footnotes to courses
in other disciplines and departments. The
study of religion and the discipline of
theology have an integrity of their own.
The College offers both a major and a
minor in Religion. Students who wish to
work in the church as a parish or youth
worker or as a director of Christian
Education may find a major in Religion
appropriate for that purpose.

ociology is the study of society as a
whole and i f human social organization
and groups. The sociological perspective
provides a way to better understand the
social world and how individuals come to
think and act as they do.
The goal of the Department is to help
students develop their understanding of
the social order and how it affects them in
their daily lives. Sociology majors develop
an understanding of the theories of society
and social groups, leam to create and use
sociological tools of analysis, and leam
how to apply sociological concepts to the
solution of social problems.
Students are encouraged to select as
electives some of the non-traditional
learning models available, such as intemships, independent study, Interim courses
and field studies. The Department urges
students to use Augsburg's metropolitan
setting as a laboratory for learning.
Internships and Cooperative Education
enable majors to apply the theories and
research skills of sociology while they
explore career alternatives. Augsburg
alumni who have majored in sociology are
currently employed in the personnel
departments of both government and
private corporations, in industrial relations
work and in program evaluation. Others
have used their majors as preparation for
advanced study in areas such as law, the
ministry, social work, urban planning and
criminal justice.
The Department of Sociology welcomes
students who, in their quest for a liberal
education as a foundation for work and
life, are looking for new and different ways
of understanding- the often taken-forgranted aspects of our world.

ur quality of life, both personally
and professionally, depends in large part
upon the quality of our communication. A
communication major at Augsburg is
designed to enhance understanding of
communication in a variety of contexts and
to ,jrnprovecommunication skills.
-
p
-
p
-
Since communication careers demand
a broad educational background, the
Department strongly encourages a second
major or two minors in fields such as
business, economics, English, history,
international relations, political science,
psychology, religion, social work or
sociology.
The Augsburg Communication major
focuses on competency in both speech and
writing, as well as effective use of media.
Since the study and practice of communication is grounded in both the humanities
and the social sciences, majors are encouraged to include such related subjects as
aesthetics, ethics, philosophy, logic,
literature, statistics and research methods
in their programs.
Prospective majors should meet with
a Departmental Adviser as early as possible to design an approved major program, preferably by the end of the sophomore year.

T
he study of theatre is essential to a
liberal arts education in that theatre is a
laboratory for experiencing, experimenting
and integrating knowledge from many
disciplines. Theatre enables students to
seek, confront and experience authentic life
in its mystery, ambiguity and beauty. We
seek to create every opportunity for
students to grow as human beings by
encouraging connections between theory
and application through course study,
production work and the Artist Series.
Currently we offer a solid base in
classical, modem and contemporary
theatre and we are exploring ways of
incorporating non-Western and nontraditional theatre to support our commitment to the multicultural experience.
Augsburg is an ideal place to study
theatre as it is located in one of the major
theatre centers in the United States.
Augsburg students expand their knowledge of theatre not only by attending,
but by working with numerous local
theatre artists and professional theatre
companies. Our theatre faculty, currim-

A Greeting
from the
President
Welcome to Augsburg College
from all of us who teach, study
and work here. It is always a
pleasure to introduce the
Augsburg experience to prospective students and to welcome
new and returning students.
Some people refer to us as "the
small town campus in the heart of
the city." That phrase does indeed
capture our character and our
strength as a college. Augsburg is
an affordable, quality liberal arts
college of the church, a place
where people know and care
about you. Here you can also gain
"real world" experience to complement your education - before
you enter the workplace for the
first time.
The College continues to grow
and build on its long tradition of
academic excellence. I invite you
to become a part of the Augsburg
experience by joining this caring
and diverse community of learners and teachers.
I look forward to meeting you
on campus.
Sincerely,
Charles S. Anderson, Ph.D.
President

A
\ t 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 your
best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing and complex world of
today and tomorrow. Upon graduation,
you 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.
Select from 50 majors
Augsburg offers more than 50 majors or you can create your own major either on
campus or through the Associated Colleges
of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See page 49 for
a complete list of majors and minors.) This
five-college consortium allows students to
take courses on other campuses without
charge. The ACTC includes Augsburg
College, Harnline University, Macalester
College, the University of St. Thomas, and
the College of St. Catherine.
We emphasize values, perspectives,
experience and skills
The heart of an Augsburg education is
the Augsburg Curriculum - the College's
general education program that structures
your liberal arts studies through challenging and thought-provoking courses that
require students to consider important
issues and examine values questions. These
liberal arts perspectives include western
heritage, intercultural awareness, human
identity, the social world, Christian faith,
the city, aesthetics and the natural world.
At the same time, courses across all
disciplines stress the skills that will serve
you for a lifetime - writing, speaking,
critical t h d u n g 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.
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 to the Mission of the College:
To nurture leaders in service to the world
by providing high quality educational opportunities which are based in the liberal arts and
shaped by the faith and values of the Christian
Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan
setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus
community.
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary
founded by Norwegian Lutherans in
America, named after the confession of
faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg,
Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in
September, 1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin,
and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The
first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and
the first graduation was in 1879.
l o About Augsburg
-
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
The Focus Changed
August Weenaas was Augsburg's first
president (1869-1876).
This attitude began to change after
World War I. In 1911, Georg Sverdrup, Jr.,
became president. He worked to develop
college departments with an appeal to a
broader range of students than just those
intending to be ministers. Augsburg
admitted women in 1922 under the
leadership of Gerda Mortensen, Dean of
Women. She spent the next 52 years at the
College as a teacher and administrator.
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 over one hundred years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist"
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's
second president (1876-1907),required
students to get pre-ministerial experience
in city congregations. Student involvement
in the community gave early expression to
the concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education for Service."
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed
the Friends of Augsburg, later called the
Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations
committed to congregational autonomy
and personal Christianity. This change
made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran
body. But the college division was still
important primarily as an attachment to
the s ~ m i n a ~ .
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 (19381962).His involvement in ecumenical and
civic circles made Augsburg a more visible
part of church and city life.
After World War 11, Augsburg leaders
made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College
was a larger part of the institution than the
seminary, and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential
to a liberal arts college, offering a modem
college program based on general education requirements and elective majors.
With curriculum change came a long effort
to become accredited.
The College reached accreditation in
1954, although many alumni had entered
graduate schools and teaching positions
long before that time.
A study in 1962 defined the College's
mission 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
Serninarv) in St. Paul in 1963.
About Auasbura l1
A College in the City
President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on
involvement with the city. He wanted to
reach out to nontraditional student
populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all people. During his years of
leadership the College became a vital and
integral part of the city. Also in these years,
Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen
Tower, Umess Tower, the Christensen
Center, Ice Arena and Murphy Place.
Dr. Charles S. Anderson has led the
College since 1980. He guides 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.
Augsburg continues to grow under his
leadership. Some of the accomplishments
during his tenure include instituting three
graduate degree programs, hosting
national and international figures at
College-sponsored forums and events,
increased accessibility, and the addition of
the Foss Center for Worship, Drama and
Communication and the Oscar Anderson
Residence Hall.
Augsburg continues to reflect the
commitment and dedication of the
founders who believed:
An Augsburg education should be
preparation for service in community and
church;
Education should have a solid liberal
arts core with a practical dimension in
order to send out productive, creative and
successful citizens;
The city -with all its excitement,
challenges and diversity - is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts
institution set in the heart of a great
metropolitan center. There are now more
than 13,000 Augsburg alumni. In a world
that has changed much since those first
days of the College, Augsburg still sends
out graduates who make a difference
where they live and work.
In addition to a traditional undergraduate liberal arts and sciences "day" program,
Augsburg offers a Weekend College
program for nontraditional students and
master's degree programs in social work,
leadership and education-leadership.
CAMPUS LOCATION
Augsburg's campus is located in the
heart of the Twin Cities, surrounding
Murphy Square, the first of 155 parks in
Minneapolis, the "City of Lakes." The
University of Minnesota West Bank
campus and one of the city's largest
medical centers -Riverside Medical
Center - is adjacent to the campus, with
the Mississippi River and the Seven
Comers theater district just a few blocks
away. Downtown Minneapolis and St.
Paul, home to a myriad of arts, sports,
entertainment and recreation opportunities, are just minutes west and east via
Interstate 94, whch forms the southern
border of the campus. (See map in back.)
Convenient bus routes run throughout
the city and connect with the suburbs.
Reaching the Twin Cities is easy. Most
airlines provide daily service to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, and bus
or train connections can be made from all
areas of the United States.

with federal, state, church and private
agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 1995-'96 academic year,

student and family resources.
The Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA)and the Augsburg
Financial Aid Application help determine
the amount of assistance for which a
student is eligible. This analysis takes into
account such family financial factors as

rather than for a specific scholarship or
grant (except as noted). The various forms
of aid available are listed here for information only.

Augsburg College, students are urged to
investigate the possibility of scholarships,
grants and loans that might be available in

are eligible for aid through Vocational
Rehabilitation, Educational Assistance for
Veterans, Educational Assistance for
Veterans' Children and other sources.

xperiences in the classroom are an
impo&t 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.
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. 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 gfts 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 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.
Through student government students
secure a closer relationship with and better
understanding of the administration and
faculty, and provide input into the decision-making process at Augsburg. Student
government also sponsors and directs
student activities, protects student rights
and provides the means for discussions
and action on all issues pertaining to
student life at Augsburg.
Student government is organized into
the executive branch, the legislative branch
and the judicial branch. Elections are held
in the spring for the next year. Freshmen
elect their representatives in the fall of their
first year. Many kinds of involvement are
possible -program planning, writing,
editing or service opportunities. If you
want to get involved, contact the president
or vice president of the Student Body in
their offices in the lower level of the
Christensen Center.
The Student Activities program creates
opportunities for students to enhance their
leadership skills through active involvement in developing events, activities and
organizations which serve the student community. Hundreds of major programming
Student Life
efforts and targeted activities for specific
student interests are generated through
these efforts and make Augsburg a dynamic
and enjoyable interactive environment.
Throughout the year, a variety of social
and cultural activities take place on campus
as well as in the Twin Cities. These
activities include dances, films, theme
events, name entertainment and visiting
personalities in various fields.
The Christensen Center is the focus of
leisure-time activity on campus. Cooper's
Attic (the gameroom and student lounge) is
a popular hangout located in the lower
level. Many of the clubs that unite classroom and non-classroom related interests
meet here. Student offices in this area
include the College newspaper, the
Augsburg Echo; the yearbook, The
Augsburgian; Student Government and the
Augsburg Student Activities Council.
KCMR, a student-operated nonprofit radio
station serving the needs of Augsburg and
the surrounding Cedar-Riverside community, is located in Umess Tower.
FINE ARTS
Students have many opportunities to
participate in music and drama. In addition
to appearing on campus and in the city, the
Augsburg Choir, Concert Band and
Orchestra perform on national and
international tours. Many other ensembles
are available to cover the entire range of
musical styles and previous musical
experience. Students stage several plays on
campus each year under the direction of
the Theatre Arts Deparbnent and have the
opportunity to attend a series of on-campus
workshops with visiting arts professionals.
INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Augsburg is affiliated with the Minnesota Intercollegate Athletic Conference
(MIAC) and is a member of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
Division IU.Men annually compete in
football, soccer, cross country, basketball,
ice hockey, wrestling, baseball, tennis, track
and field and golf. Women annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer,
basketball, ice hockey, softball, tennis, track
and field and golf.
When Augsburg announced on Feb. 17,
1995 that it was adding women's ice hockey
as a varsity sport, it became the first college
or university in Minnesota to do so. The
women's ice hockey program at Augsburg
offers participants the same opportunities
that the men's program receives.
INTRAMURALS
Every student is urged to participate in
some activity for recreation and relaxation.
An intramural program provides competition in a variety of team sports as well as
individual performance activities. Broomball has been an especially popular coed
sport. Check schedules for times when there
is open use of the gymnasium and ice arena.
SPORTS AND RECREATION
At Augsburg, sports are for the average
student as well as the intercollegiate
athlete. The campus offers on a space
available basis a double-rink ice arena,
gymnasium, six tennis courts, a fitness
center with workout machines and weight
room, and an air supported dome over the
athletic field for winter fitness use by
walkers and runners. (See Fitness Center
on Dage 41.)

ugsburg College constructs its
curriculum upon the premise that students
must be educated as fully human persons intellectually, spiritually and physically. To
act effectively, human beings must have a
broad grasp of the world from which they
have come as
as the
in which
they live. By providing courses in the
humanities, natural sciences and social
sciences, the genera' education
introduces students to the breadth and
complexity of knowledge and culture.
Required courses in religion are designed to acquaint students with the
Christian tradition and encourage them to
reflect upon the importance and meaning of
spirituality in their lives. Recreation courses
offer opportunities to develop skills in
exercise and sporting activities.
Students choose from over 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 education strives to educate
students in a real world for the real world.

HONORS PROGRAM
The Honors Program is designed to
challenge and encourage the most academically distinguished students at Augsburg.
The program combines academic and
cultural components with social activities.
Members of the program normally enter as
freshmen, but students may enter the
program as late as the beginning of the
junior year. Students graduate from the
Honors Program upon successful completion of the program, which is noted on
the transcript and which provides an
advantage for both employment and
graduate school application.
The Honors Program at Augsburg was
awarded a National Science Foundation
Grant, for the years 1995-1997, to establish
two Honors Computing and Communications Labs, one in Foss 20 and the other in
Library 20, and to put the program on a
computational footing. Students entering
the program as freshmen are required to
take an Honors version of CSC 160,
Introduction to Computer Science and
Communications, which establishes crisp
computing and communications skills at
the outset of their collegiate careers. Other
courses in the program make use of these
computing skills in lab-oriented sequence
exploring literature, writing, history,
religion, philosophy and social and natural
science.
During the junior and senior years,
students take four mini-seminars (one full
course credit upon completion), one each
semester and participate in a six-week
Monday Forum program each term.
Seniors take a Senior Seminar during
Interim, which satisfies a Perspective
requirement, and are obliged to complete
an approved Honors project. Some seniors
satisfy this requirement by serving on the
Augsburg Honors Review, a yearly journal
which publishes outstanding student
papers.
Requirements center on full participation in the program and the maintenance of
at least a 3.3 GPA the freshman year, a 3.4
the sophomore year, and a 3.5 the last two
years. Please direct enquiries to Dr. Joan
Griffin, Associate Director of the Honors
Program, 330-1045, or Dr. Lany Crockett,
Director of the Honors Program, 330-1060.
INTER-INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS
Augsburg cooperates with other colleges
and institutions in the Twin Cities area on
several programs.
Library and Media Center -Through
CLIC, the Twin Cities private colleges
library consortium, the Augsburg community has direct access to over 1,300,000
volumes.
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities
(ACTC) -Full-time weekday students at
Augsburg and the St. Paul colleges and
universities of Hamline, Macalester, St.
Catherine and St. Thomas may elect a
course each semester at one of the other
campuses. No additional fee is required for
such an exchange, except for private
instruction in music or approved independent studies. Students may elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain new
perspectives, to get better acquainted with
the other schools or to undertake a specific
course or major not offered on the home
campus. The colleges have coordinated

Note: A maximum of one full Augsburg
course credit of military science studies may
apply toward the total credits required for
graduation. Additional military science
credits beyond the one credit allowed will
be classified as nondegree credits.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDY ABROAD
An increasing number of Augsburg
students are taking advantage of the
opportunity to gain academic credit for an
overseas experience. Through study abroad
students may meet with grassroots women's
organizations in Mexico, work in a small
business or artisan program in Kenya,
examine Scandinavian perspectives on
world peace in Norway, or thrill to the
sounds of The Magic Flute at the Viennese
state opera house. Study abroad provides
opportunities to develop critical thinking
skills, strengthen language competencies,
further career paths, experience different
cultures, and gain knowledge about the
increasingly interdependent world.
Academic Requirements and Credit
Study abroad is an integral part of
several majors at Augsburg, but will add an
international dimension to any academic
program. Students normally receive the
same number of course credits abroad as if
studying on-campus. Courses abroad can
fulfill major, general education, and
graduation requirements when approved by
academic advisers and department chairs
before departure.
Students receive advice on selecting
programs which best fit their academic,
career and personal objectives. Assistance is
provided with application, course registration, financing, and travel arrangements.
Orientation and reentry programs assist
students in integrating the experience abroad
into their course work and personal lives.
Eligibility and Application

(a minimum GPA of 2.5) at Augsburg may
apply for permission to study off-campus.

Costs and Financial Aid
The cost of many programs is equivalent to full tuition, room and board for a
semester on-campus. Financial aid is
granted on the same basis as on-campus
study. Cost estimates are drawn up to
assist the Financial Aid Office in awarding
aid to students studying overseas.
The Center for Global Education
The Center for Global Education
facilitates cross-cultural learning experiences which prepare people to think more
critically about global issues and to work
toward a more just and sustainable world.
The Center's programs explore a diversity
of viewpoints and are grounded in the
perspectives of the poor and of others
struggling for justice and human dignity.
The Center's study programs are
conducted in Central America, Mexico,
Namibia and Norway. Students experience
three distinct types of living situations,
which include living with other participants
in a community house, spending several
days in a rural setting and several weeks
living with host families. They also travel
together on two-week seminars -in
Mexico to Central America, and in Namibia
to South Africa. The cost of these programs
is equivalent to full tuition, room and board
for one semester on-campus plus airfare.

EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION
PROGRAMS
One advantage of Augsburg's metro
location is its highly successful Experiential
Education programs which link the
College's academic program to Twin Cities
employers and organizations. The result is
a resume that is more attractive to potential
employers after graduation.
Through Internships, Cooperative
Education and Community ServiceLearning, Augsburg students integrate and
expand their liberal arts education by
embracing the worlds of work and service.
Each work or community service placement is closely related t i a student's major,
course work or career interest. Augsburg's
Internship, Cooperative Education and
Community Service programs link employers, community organizations and the
academic program in ways that enrich and
expand a student's educational experience
and personal development. An underlying
assumption is that a liberal arts education
is an effective preparation for careers and
citizenship. The integration of "knowing
and doing" adds breadth and depth to the
liberal arts curridum and assists students
in making more informed academic, career
and personal decisions.
The College's metropolitan location
makes possible a wide range of opportunities. Students have gained valuable
learning experiences in small and mid-size
companies, large corporations, nonprofit
organizations, schools, government agencies and community-based organizations.
Academic Internships

planned work-based learning experience
where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning objectives. A

nternship beyond one term see Evaluation
tnd Grading on page 69.
A maximum of four courses of Internhip may count toward the total courses
equired for the degree.
Iooperative Education
Cooperative Education is a college
,upported and monitored, paid, workearning experience that is closely related to
I student's major or career objective. The
;oal is to combine theory with practice in
vork or service-based settings.
Students also earn money to help defray
rducational costs while gaining important
)n-the-jobexperience. Job placements

Yugsburg students who have completed
their freshman year and are in good
academic standing.
Service-Learning
Augsburg's Service-Learningprogram
combines response to human needs in the
community with a conscious awareness and
understanding of issues, reflection and
educational growth. Augsburg students
learn from and about the community and
society in whch they live by participating in
orientation sessions, direct service-learning
activities and seminars or class discussions.
Through direct service, such as volunteering
at a homeless shelter, tutoring, building
housing for low-income people or working
with environmental groups, students
engage in a dynamic and interactive educational approach which employs reciprocal
learning between the student@)and the
community. Service-Leaming includes
course-embedded community service,
tutoring, internships, cooperative education
and a wide range of volunteer options.
The Service-LearningProgram works
with community organizations and
organizes specific projects to enhance
student involvement and also assists with
and supports the integration of servicelearning into departmental courses. The
program works closely with the student
directed Augsburg LINK program and
Campus Ministry.

toward progress.
The Master of Social Work at Augsburg
offers two concentrations: Family Practice
and Program Development, Policy and
Administration. In the Family Practice concentration, students concentrate on empowering the family nurturing systems from a

Registrar's office prior to the anticipated
date of graduation (there may be no
incompletes or open courses on the
academic record).
Degree requirements include completion of a minim- number of credits, a
major, the First Year Experience (FYE), a
minimum GPA, residence, and general
education courses.
Requirements For Undergraduate
Graduation:
1. Completion of 33 course credits At least 11course credits must be Upper
Division, numbered in the 300s and 400s.
Not more than 13 course credits may be in
one department, except in certain approved
majors: Accounting (B.A.) - 14; Music
Education (B.M.) - 17; Music Performance
(B.M.) - 20; M9ic Therapy (B.S.) - 17;
Physician Assistant (B.A.) - 19.5; and Social
Work (B.S.) - 15.
The course total must include two
Interims for students whose complete
academic work is at Augsburg.
For transfer students, the course total
must include one less Interim course than
the number of years at Augsburg (but no
more than two Interim courses are required). This is calculated on each transfer
student's evaluation of transfer credits.
No more than these maximums may be
applied toward the 33 total course credits
required: two Interim courses; two courses
by independent/directed study; four
courses of internship; and eight course
credits with a grade of Pass (P). Nontraditional grading (P) also has these limits: two
in the major except Elementary Education
(two in the major plus student teaching)
and Nursing (no P/N grading is pennit-
ted); one in the minor if approved by the
department chairperson. Interim courses
taken that are not counted among the credit
total for graduation requirements (extra
interim courses) may still be counted for
meeting perspective or graduation
skills requirements.
2. Completion of a Major - Requirements for each major are listed under the
departmental headings.
3. First Year Experience (FYE) -All
students who enter the College as freshmen
in the weekday schedule program must
complete satisfactorily the FYE Fall
Orientation and Seminar. See the program
section on the First Year Experience for a
full description.
4. Grade Point Average -2.0 for
most majors. A minimum grade point
average of 2.0 is required over all courses
taken and specifically over all courses
which apply toward a major or special
program. Some majors, licensure and
certification require higher grades in each
course or a higher grade point average.
(For example, see licensure in education,
music education, music performance,
music therapy, nursing, social work.) See
the departmental section for details.
5. Residence - The last year of fulltime study or equivalent (no less than 7 of
the last 9 credits) must be completed at
Augsburg or within an approved ACTC
exchange program. No less than a total of 9
credits are to be taken at Augsburg College.
Contact the Registrar if an official interpretation is needed. Some departments have a
minimum number of courses which are
required to be taken in residence within
the major. Consult the catalog description
of the major or the chairperson of the
department.

SKILLS COMPONENT
Entry Level Skills Requirements
The entry level skills tests are inventory
assessments in:
Writing
Mathematics
Critical thinking
Placement in writing courses, math
courses and critical thinking courses is
determined by the assessments (see
page 71.)
Freshmen (all students entering Augsburg
with fewer than seven college credit
courses) and Sophomore Transfer
Students having fewer than 14 courses:
Take entry level skills assessments
and satisfy requirements.
If skill levels are deficient, students
will be enrolled in the appropriate course
or advised on preparation for retaking the
respective tests. Students are required to
take the assessments before registering for
the second term and to have demonstrated
removal of deficiencies by the end of their
first year at Augsburg.
Effective Writing or its equivalent is
required. Students who do not satisfy the
entry level skill in writing will be required
to take ENG 101 Developmental Writing
before ENG 111 Effective Writing. Freshmen should complete the writing requirement before the beginning of their sophomore year.
Students who have college credit for a
critical thinking or logic course are exempt
from the critical thinking inventory.
Freshman and Sophomore transfer
students will be required to satisfy all the
graduation skill course requirements.
Advanced Transfer Students
Transfer students who enter with 14
credits or more are exempt from critical
thinking assessments.
Those who have not passed the
equivalent of ENG 111 Effective Writing
course must take the entry level test in
writing. Augsburg's entry level test in
writing will determine placement in an
appropriate writing course.
Advanced transfer students are
required to satisfy all the graduation skill
course requirements, except that only the
writing component course within the majc
is required.
Math Requirement
In order to graduate, students must tal
the Math Placement exam and achieve a
score placing them in Group III(college
algebra skills).
Students with an acceptable transfer
mathematics course will have their
placement level determined by the
Registrar's Office. Students who have
passed the College Board Advanced
Placement Exam should consult the
Mathematics Department. Math placemen
is indicated on the Evaluation of Transfer
Credit form for students who have transfe
courses in college-level math.
All students are required to have their
Math Placement Group determined. The
exam is given during college registration
sessions and at other announced times
during the year. Students needing to
advance their Math Placement Group maj
take the appropriate MAT course or study
on their own and retest. Additional
information about the Math Placement
Exam is available from the Academic
Advising Center.
Academic Information
Please note that all students must attain
~tleast Math Placement Group 111. In

Lifetime Sports
Two different lifetime sports are
required. Students in the Day program who
are not Health and Physical Education
majors or in intercollegiate athletics may
test out of one lifetime sport. Weekend
College students may test out of two
lifetime sports. Lifetime Sports are nocredit courses, are not counted as meeting
Interim course requirements and are not
included in the 33 course requirement.
LIBERAL ARTS PERSPECTIVES
The General Education Liberal Arts
Perspectives have the primary goal of
providing the basis for beginning to
understand what it means to be a human
being. The goals of the Perspectives are
achieved through a variety of courses
which have been approved as meeting the
criteria established for each Perspective.
Students will choose from a list of
courses meeting the Liberal Arts Perspectives, available from the Office of the
Registrar. These choices are controlled by
the following policies:
1. A student will choose a minimum
of one course from each required perspective category.
2. No single course can fulfill the
requirements in two or more categories.
3. No student will be permitted to
count more than three courses from
the same department in meeting perspective requirements.
4. No student may count more than one
course from the same department in
meeting the requirements of any single
perspective emphasis area except:
Up to three courses in religion may be
used to meet the perspective, "The Charac-
65
66 Academic Information
-
ter and Mission of Augsburg College: The
Christian Faith."
Up to two courses in a year-long
sequence of approved natural science
courses may be used to meet the perspective, "The Natural World."
Up to two courses of the same modem
language may be used to meet part of the
perspective, "Intercultural Awareness."
RATIONALE FOR PERSPECTIVES
Augsburg, in its Mission Statement,
declares the College exists "To nurture
future leaders of service in the world by
providing high quality educational
opportunities which are based in the liberal
arts and shaped by the faith and values of
the Christian church, by the context of a
vital metropolitan setting, and by an
intentionally diverse campus community."
One way which the College seeks consciously to realize this Mission is through
its General Education curriculum.
The Augsburg faculty has designed a
cohesive academic program incorporating
general education, major courses, supporting courses and elective courses leading to
the bachelor's degree. The core of the
Augsburg curriculum is found in the
liberal arts as expressed in the General
Education component of the college curriculum which is divided under two headings: liberal arts perspectives and skills.
The term "perspective" assumes that
not only are we engaged in the search for
truth, but that this requires the searcher to
consider questions from a variety of
viewpoints, each of which has something
valuable to contribute to the whole. These
perspectives are not strictly identified with
traditional disciplines, but are understood
in ways which encourage multi-disciplin-
ary reflections on the questions at issue.
They combine concerns about content with
those of process and approach, directed
ultimately to making the student a more
effective learner and participant in society.
The following requirements reflect the
way in which Augsburg has chosen to view
the liberal arts. Two of the four features of
the Mission Statement are embodied in the
General Education Perspectives: "The
Character and Mission of Augsburg
College: The Christian Faith and the City."
These Perspectives emphasize that the
College's affiliation with the Lutheran
Church, its insistence on the value of
knowing the approach which derives from
the Christian roots of the College and its
location in the city, deserve special
consideration in Augsburg's educational
program.
The third feature - that Augsburg is a
liberal arts institution - is also emphasized in the other General Education
Perspectives. Certain dimensions of human
life - of what it is to be human -form thc
core of the required liberal arts experience.
These overall perspectives on what it is to
be human can themselves be studied from
the vantage points of the various academic
disciplines.
Students need to learn about themselves, about what it is to be a person.
Hence, the Perspective on Human Identity.
But the person exists in both a social
community and a natural world. Hence,
the importance of the Perspectives on the
Social World and the Natural World.
Because the way in which we understand
ourselves derives largely from our Western
heritage, students need to learn about and
reflect on sipficant aspects of this
heritage. Thus, the Perspective on the
Western Heritage. At the same time, to
Academic Information
focus on the West alone would be ethnocentric. We live in a global society. Hence
the Perspective on Inter-Cultural Awareness. Attention to moral values is found not
only in the Perspective on the Character
and Mission of the College: the Christian
Faith, but throughout the other perspectives as well. The Perspective on Aesthetic
Values enables students to focus on
aesthetic works created by themselves or
others, which convey fundamental insights,
express beauty and enhance life.
Finally, the Mission Statement emphasizes that we are concerned with academic
excellence. Tlus has a number of features,
including the way we teach all the courses
in General Education. Beyond this,
academic excellence presupposes that
students have the requisite skills to do
college-level work. The General Education
Requirements are couched in a context
which pays attention to the skills of both
incoming and graduating students. Entrylevel skill requirements in a number of
critical areas, including reading, writing,
mathematics and critical thinking, will be
assessed and help given to students who
need it. Graduation-level skills are also
emphasized, so that students not only
maintain but develop their skills during
their Augsburg experience.
The General Education Requirements
provide a coherent way to address the
Mission of Augsburg College. They are not
the only way, neither do they guarantee
that students who graduate from Augsburg
possess the desired knowledge and
character traits. What they do is provide a
coherent description of the context in
which we liberally educate students, a
clear statement of expected outcomes and
an opportunity for students to see and
understand the complexity of what it is to
be human and Christian in an urban set tin^.
THE EIGHT PERSPECTIVE
REQUIREMENTS
Perspective: The Character and Mission of
Augsburg College: The Christian Faith
This Perspective focuses on Augsburg
as a College of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America. As a college of the
Church, Augsburg accepts as a basis for its
educational program the doctrines of the
Christian faith as revealed in Scripture and
the creeds affirmed by the Lutheran
Church. It consciously affirms that all
students should reflect upon the Christian
Scriptures, theologcal concepts, ethical
values, their own faith and values, and
religious concepts outside of the Christian
faith as part of becoming educated.
Christian Faith (CF 1, 2 and 3)
Area 1 is biblical studies, Area 2 covers
Christian theology and area 3 includes the
study of values or religions outside the
Christian faith. Three course credits are
required to meet this Perspective except for
the following:
Transfer students entering with 14-23
course credits will be required to take two
courses in the Christian Faith Perspective
while registered at Augsburg.
Transfer students entering with 24 or
more course credits will be required to take
one course in the Christian Faith Perspective while registered at Augsburg.
Perspective: The Character and Mission of
Augsburg College: The City
This Perspective focuses on the
College's location in the heart of a metropolitan area. From this Perspective,
students should gain an understanding of
and critically reflect upon the city with its
diverse populations, cultural, govemmen-
67
-
Academic Information
tal and economic institutions, and opportunities and challenges. In addition, students
should experience the community and
should explore opportunities for service in
the community.
This requirement must be covered
either by specific courses, by internship
and education experiences or by designated or college approved non-credit
experiences (such as volunteer service or
college programs). Experiences that satisfy
the requirement must be accompanied by
GST 209 seminar related to the perspective.
The City (C)
One course credit or experience is
required to meet h s Perspective.
Perspective: Western Heritage
This Perspective is intended to help
students critically examine themes (found,
for example, in literature, philosophy and
the arts) and events that have historically
shaped Western civilization. Attention
should be paid to the contributions of and
to critiques of Western thought by women
and ethnic minorities.
Western Heritage (WH 1 and 2)
Two course credits from different
departments are required to meet this
Perspective. One course is required to meet
this Perspective for transfer students
entering with 14 or more course credits.
Perspective: Human Identity
This Perspective is intended to help
students view themselves as persons, men
and women with unique abilities, values,
beliefs, experiences and behaviors.
Human ldentity (HI)
One course credit is required to meet
Perspective: Aesthetics
Aesthetic creations convey fundaments
insights and values, express beauty and
enhance life. This Perspective focuses on
aesthetic qualities in artistic expressions by
oneself and others.
Aesthetics (A)
One course credit is required to meet
this Perspective.
Perspective: The Social World
This Perspective is intended to help
students learn to identify, examine and
critique social, economic or political
systems: to understand how and why such
systems develop, to see the connections
among these systems and to use this
knowledge as a participant in society.
Social World (SW 1 and 2)
One course must focus on current
theories and methods of a social science.
Two course credits from different departments are required to meet this Perspective. One course is required to meet this
Perspective for transfer students entering
with 14 or more course credits.
Perspective: intercultural Awareness
This Perspective is intended to complement the Western Heritage Perspective by
expanding students' awareness of other
cultures. One course is required in which
students critically reflect upon ways their
own cultural biases operate when confronting other cultures. They should become
better able to communicate with persons of
other cultural backgrounds partially by
being introduced to a specific culture other
than European or mainstream North
American cultures.
In addition, students are to gain entry
Academic Information 69
md read a language other than their
native language. For this part of the
Perspective, students are required to have
jemonstrated proficiency in a modem
ianguage or American Sign Language for
nearing students.
The modem language requirement will
3e determined by assessing previous
2xperience and subsequent placement.
Intercultural Awareness (IA 1)
The study of a specific, non-Westem
:ulture and how that culture has shaped
the world. One course credit is required to
meet this part of the Intercultural Awareness Perspective.
(IA 2 and 3)
Study of a modem language other than
khe native tongue. Up to two course credits
~f a beginning language or one at your
placement level is required. Students with
previous language study should contact an
ldrnissions counselor or the Registrar's
3ffice for placement information. Students
whose native language is not Enghh should
:ontact the Academic Advising Center.

courses in the same language. Hearing
students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by
passing an approved course sequence will
have fulfilled IA-2 and IA-3 Perspectives.
Perspective: The Natural World
This Perspective is intended to help
students understand themselves in relation
to the physical world. Their active role as
observers, explorers and moral agents will
be emphasized. Sufficient technical training
in scientific knowledge, concepts and
methods will be provided to equip students for critical and intelligent participation in public debates on technical issues.
Natural World (NW 1 and 2)
Two course credits from different
departments are required to meet this
Perspective unless an approved one-year
sequence is taken. One course is required to
meet h s Perspective for transfer students
entering with 14 or more course credits.
EXPLANATION OF GRADES
Student achievement in courses is
measured primarily by final examinations.
Shorter tests, written papers, oral reports
and other types of evaluation also are used.
Most courses are offered with grading
options - traditional grading on a 4.0 to
0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system,
in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better
and N means no credit and a grade of less
than 2.0.
PassINo Credit
Students who choose the P/N option
are cautioned:
2
Academic Information
In order to receive a grade of P, a
student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0.
1.0
Some graduate and professional
schools do not look favorably on a large
number of P-graded courses, or rank
each as a "C".
0.5
0.0
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
graduation with distinction. Transfer
students should be especially aware of
this requirement.
See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements, page 63.
Certain courses have restrictions and
are offered on one grading system only
(i.e., Lifetime Sports 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. A fee is
charged for any changes after the first five
days of classes. All changes in grading
option that are made after initial registration require the signature of an adviser or
the instructor.
Numeric Grades
Numeric grades are used with these
definitions:
4.0
3.5
3.0
2.5
2.0
Achieves highest standards of
excellence
Achieves above basic course
standards
Meets basic standards for the
course
Performance below basic course
standards
Unacceptable performance (no
credit for the course)
Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are
not computed in the grade point average.
An incomplete grade (I) may be given
only in the case of extreme emergency. To
receive an incomplete grade, a student
must receive permission of the instructor oj
the course; must file a form stating the
reasons for the request, the work required
to complete the course, the plan and date
for completing the work with comments
from the instructor; and must file the form
with the Office of the Registrar. If permission is granted, the necessary work must be
completed in enough time to allow
evaluation of the work by the instructor
and filing of a grade before the final day of
the following semester. If the work is not
completed by that date, the grade for the
course becomes a 0.0.
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 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 than one year).
An instructor reserves the discretion of not
giving an X where satisfactory progress is
not demonstrated. If the course is not
complete, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned.
Academic Information
A course in which a grade of 0,0.5,1.0,
1.5, or N has been received may be re2eated for credit. Courses in which higher
yades have been earned may not be
aepeated for credit and a grade, but may be
iudited. All courses taken and grades
2arned each term remain on the academic
.ecord. O n y the credits and grades earned
he second time, for legitimately repeated
:ourses, are counted toward graduation

Classification
Students are classified in August and at
the end of the Fall and Interim terms.
Sophomores - Seven courses

Juniors - 16 courses completed.
Seniors - 24 courses completed.
International Baccalaureate Program (IB)
Courses earned from the International
Baccalaureate Program will be considered
by the College for advanced placement and
appropriate credit. Departmental guidelines are available at the Registrar's Office.
ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS
LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM
Augsburg College recognizes that
learning can and does take place in many
life situations. Some of this learning may be
appropriate for credit recognition within
the disciplines that compose the academic
program of a liberal arts college. The APL
program (Assessment of Previous Learning) at Augsburg provides a means by
which a student's previous learning, other
than that which is transferred from another
accredited institution, may be presented for
examination for possible credit toward the
completion of a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life experience,
however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning
must meet two essential criteria: 1)it is
relevant to course work in a field of study
within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum, and 2) it can be objectively demon-
71
72 Academic Information
-
strated 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 recogrution. The following is a
brief description of each of these means of
assessment:
Advanced Placement Program
Test (AP) - Advanced placement in
courses beyond the beginning level is
granted to students with scores of 3,4
and 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement
Program Test. Additional credit or placement is at the discretion of the department.
Inquiries should be addressed to the Office
of the Registrar.
The College Level Examination
Program (CLEP) - This is a series of
standardized tests which have been
developed by the College Board and are
offered to students for a small fee at
regional testing centers. (The regional
testing center for this area is the University
of Minnesota.) Students who score at or
above the 65th percentile on a subject
examination may receive academic credit
for that subject at Augsburg College.
Additional information about CLEP tests is
available from the Office of the Registrar
and the Academic Advising Center.
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 instrument
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 pass/
no credit basis only, and there is a charge
per exam of one-half of tuition 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
and/or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts course work.
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 four courses/credits of academic
work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is
strongly recommended that the process no
be used when four or fewer courses remair
for graduation. There is an application
deposit to initiate the credit assessment
process, and a charge for each semester
Academic Information
credit applied to the student's transcript if
credit is approved. Credit is available on a
pass/no credit basis only.
Transcript credit will be granted on the
basis of semester credits, and the total
number of credits granted will be divided
by four to determine the number of course
credits applied to graduation. These credits
will be recorded with the course number of
APL 2xx. Application of this credit toward
the Liberal Arts Perspective requirements,
Upper Division requirements and academic
majors and minors may be subsequently
addressed by the departments involved in
response to a formal request by the student.
Maximum Credit Accepted for
Previous Learning -While Augsburg
College recogruzes the validity of
learning that takes place outside the
traditional classroom, this learning must be
placed in the context of formal study in
campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of eight
courses (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is
obtained through previous experiential
learning. In compiling the eight courses of
credit for previous experiential learning,
the student may use any combination of
the four assessment processes available
in the APL program: AP exams, CLEP
exams, departmental comprehensive
exams and credit granted through portfolio
assessment.
English as a Second Language (ESL)
Program
Students who declare a language other
than English to be their primary language
or who are citizens of another c o w must
take the ESL placement test in conjunction
with the English writing placement test at
orientation. Students' placement in ESL,
ENG 101 Develoumental writ in^. or ENG
111 Effective Writing will be determined by
their scores on the Michigan test (80-100
range for exemption from ESL) and by a
writing sample.
Near the end of each term of the English
as a Second Language course, an objective
test will be administered to all students in
the class. The score on this test and the
grade eamed in the class will determine
whether additional ESL course work is
required. Usually a score of 80 to 100 and a
course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will fulfill the
student's ESL requirement.
All students whose native language is
not English must stay enrolled in ENG
217/218 until such time that they pass ESL
placement test at 80 percent or higher. The
ESL course can only be counted twice in
the total number of courses required for
graduation.
Students who fulfill the ESL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the modem language
requirement for graduation.
1 ACADEMIC PROGRESS, PROBATION
AND DISMISSAL
The College requires that students
maintain the following cumulative grade
point averages (GPA):
Freshman -A student who has taken
fewer than seven courses with a cumulative GPA of 1.6 or higher
Sophomore -A student who has
taken fewer than 16 courses with a cumulative GPA of 1.7 or higher
Junior- A student who has taken
fewer than 24 courses with a cumulative
GPA of 1.9 or higher
Senior - A student who has taken 24
or more courses with a cumulative GPA of

It should be noted that a minimum
GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation with
certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA.
decision within 10 days to the Committee
on Student Standing.
Students whose academic achievement
falls below these guidelines will either be
placed on scholastic probation at the end of
the term or will be continued on probation
or will be dismissed from the College. In
addition, a freshman who receives two zero
grades or a sophomore who receives three
zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, dismissal from
the College is not automatic. Each case is
reviewed by the Committee on Student
Standing. Evidence of the student's
commitment to academic progress is the
major consideration in deciding whether or
not to dismiss a student. Students who
have a poor academic record may be
strongly advised to withdraw before the
end of a term. Those on probation who
voluntarily withdraw from the College, as
well as those who are dismissed, must have
special permission to re-enroll.
The Dean's List, compiled after
each semester, lists students whose grade
point average for a semester is 3.5 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 (i.e., crossover courses
taken in a Weekend College trimester term
by a day program student or in a semester
term by a Weekend program student) are
not calculated when determining the
Dean's List. If permission is given by the
student, an announcement is sent to the
hometown newspaper of each student on
the Dean's List.
Students may be removed from
probation when the cumulative GPA
reaches the minimum levels stated above.
Students placed on probation as freshmen
for having earned two zero grades may be
removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not
earned additional zero grades, and if their
cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Students
placed on probation as sophomores for
having earned three zero grades may be
removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative
GPA reaches 1.9.
The College reserves the right to
dismiss any student who does not meet the
guidelines stated above. Once a student is
dismissed, he or she may appeal the
Dean's List
Qualification for Commencement
Augsburg College has one commencement ceremony per academic year in the

A
\ s 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
which 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.
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
and requirements for a particular course can
be obtained from the instructor.
Department entries also contain a
narrative discussion of the educational
philosophy of each department, its goals
and its place in the College's program. A
listing of requirements for individual majors
and minors follows the narrative.
Class Schedule
Courses listed are subject to change. In
general, classes are offered Fall and/or
Spring terms unless otherwise indicated.
The Schedule of Classes published by the
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities
(ACTC) each spring lists offerings and
locations for Fall and Spring terms.
Since some courses are offered alternate
years, it is important that the student review
with an adviser to ensure that all requirements can be met.
Descriptions and schedules for courses
offered in January Interim, Summer School,
Augsburg Weekend College and the Master
of Arts in Leadership, Master of Arts in
Education-Leadership and the Master of
Social Work programs are published in
separate catalogs.
Credits
A full course is offered for one course
credit. A few fractional courses, for one-half
or one-quarter course credit, are offered in
the Division of Professional Studies. Unless
noted, all courses are one course credit. A
full course has the approximate value of
four semester credits or six quarter hours.
Most courses meet for three 60-minute
periods or two 90-minute periods a week, in
addition to laboratories.
Numbering
Courses numbered below 300 are Lower
Division courses. Courses numbered 300
and above are classified as Upper Division.
In general, courses in the 100s are primarily
for freshmen, 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. 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.
Every department offers opportunities
Departments and Programs 79
course description and process for registering is normally the same for each department. Some departments have additional
statements and that will be found in the
departmental course listing.
INTERNSHIPS
Registration for Internships consists of
the following steps:
1. Obtain the Internship Registration
Permission Form from the Internship and
Cooperative Education Office and secure
the signatures of the faculty supervisor and
director of Internships and Cooperative
Education.
199
399
2. Register for a 199 or 399 Internship
during the registration period. The signed
permission form must be turned in at the
time of registration. (Students may preregister without a placement secured, but a
suitable internship must be found by the
end of the registration or drop/add period.)
3. A learning agreement (forms are
available from the Internship and Cooperative Education Office) must be negotiated
with the faculty member responsible for
grading the experience and the work
supervisor. The completed original is
turned in to the Internshp and Cooperative
Education Office, with copies made for the
faculty, supervisor and student.
lnternship
A work or service-based learning experience at the sophomore level in whch a student,
faculty member and site supervisor design a learning agreement which links the ideas
and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. Participation in a concurrent seminar is often expected. Prior to the beginning of the term/
registration, interested students must consult with the departmental Internship Coordinator and the Internship Office regarding requirements and permission to register.
lnternship
A work or service-based learning experience at the junior-senior level in which a student,
faculty member and site supervisor design a learning agreement which links the ideas
and methods of the discipline with the opportunitiesinherent in the placement. Participation in a concurrent seminar is often expected. Prior to the b e p n i n g of the term/
registration, interested students must consult with the departmental Internship Coordinator and the Internship Office regarding requirements and permission to register.
DIRECTED AND INDEPENDENT STUDIES
299
Directed Study

&
t is important as a field of study for
our time. Our survival as a culture may
very well depend on whether we are able
to create order and beauty in the design
and function of communities. Realizing
this, we have made design and sensitivity
to all aspects of visual experience central to
the art program at Augsburg.
Giving and receiving visual messages is
so much a part of everyday life that it is
often taken for granted. At the same time,
however, the interchange of visual ideas is
frequently misunderstood. The task of the
artist, art teacher and art historian is to
celebrate visual experience through a
variety of media and art examples. In short,
the visual arts teach us how to see.
Because of the College's commitment to
the liberal arts, the visual arts, as taught at
Augsburg, draw ideas and inspiration from
all disciplines. Art as a human activity does
involve manual skill, although to become
broadly significant it should interact with
the content available in other fields, such as
language, history, drama, music, literature,
philosophy, theology, business, physical
education and science.
A liberal arts college like Augsburg is
an ideal setting for the study of art because
it provides a constant possibility for the
interaction of ideas, disciplines and
attitudes. At Augsburg, art study is further
enhanced by associations with a sipficant
number of art galleries and museums in the
Twin Cities area.

iolow is the study of life and it is
natural that we, as contemplative living
zreatures, seek a deeper understanding of
the living world that envelops us. This
search has led to the realization that the
tarth is filled with an enormous variety of
living organisms. Since humans are a part
3f the biological world, an understanding
~f the basic biologcal processes common to
311 organisms, as well as those features
which are unique to humans, is essential to
~ttainself-understanding
- and to provide a
basis for wise decisions.
-<
Even the simplest organisms are
incredibly complex and a complete
understanding of even one of these has, as
yet, eluded biologsts, even though some
~rganismshave been subjected to years of
intensive scrutiny. Biology will thus
zontinue to be a fertile field for research for
many years to come.
Still, in recent decades great strides
have been made in understanding important biological processes, particularly those
at the cellular, molecular, and ecosystem
levels. Biological research has also provided some extremely important benefits to
humans, including advances in medicine,
3griculture and food science.
Because a complete understanding of
2iological systems depends on applications
~f the principles of physics and chemistry,
3 firm background in the physical sciences
is also important, to support the student's
xoad-based understanding of biology.
For many, an undergraduate major in
2iology serves primarily as a basis for
hrther study. Augsburg graduates have
3one on to further studies in the Life
;ciences, leading to careers in college or
miversity teaching, basic and applied
research, and public health. Others have
mtered professional programs in medicine,
veterinary medicine and dentistry. Other
graduates have gone directly into a variety
of careers, including secondary education
and laboratory technology.

c
hemistry is the science of the changes
in matter, examining those changes and
working toward an understanding of them.
Correlating the results of physics and
opening the vistas of molecular biology,
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.
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.
The Department is on the List of
Approved Schools of the American
chemical Society (ACS) and offers a
chemistry major which meets the chemistry
background required by many fields.
Consonant with these ideas, the
Department of Chemistry has established
the following objectives to help its students
develop into mature scientists:
*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.
*To provide programs of study for
professional goals in addition to the
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 seriously
study areas outside of 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.

A
major in East Asian Studies is
offered through Augsburg and the other
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities
(ACTC). This is an inter-college, interdepartmental program which is available
as a result of the cooperation and crossregistration possibilities among Augsburg
College, Hamline University, Macalester
College, The College of St. Catherine and
the University of St. Thomas. The program
pools the resources and expertise within
the five institutions. This major enables
students to acquire a broad knowledge of
Japan, China and other East Asian nations
and to gain a functional knowledge of the
language of one country.
Career opportunities for those who
attain a liberal arts degree in East Asian
Studies include government service,
international business, journalism, language instruction, Asian arts and intercultural communication. The major provides a
foundation for graduate work in various
fields such as anthropology, economics,
history, international relations, business,
law, political science, sociology and theatre.
This major is also recommended for those
interested in education and work with
social and recreational agencies.
East Asian Studies Faculty
Martha Johnson, Director
Major in East Asian Studies
Nine courses are required for the major.
Courses in the major must be approved by
the campus adviser, and are distributed as
follows: four courses in an East Asian
language; four additional courses, two of
which must be Upper Division (strongly
recommended that one of these be a historj
course on China or Japan); and an East
Asiarl Studies Seminar. A term of study
abroad and the completion of a minor in
another discipline are strongly recommended.
Study abroad opportunities for the
semester or a year are available in Hong
Kong, Japan, Korea and the People's
Republic of China. Study abroad strengthens the East Asian studies major by
offering a cross-cultural experience in the
country of specialization.
Language Courses
Hamliie University offers elementary
and intermediate courses in Chinese.
Macalester College and the University of
St. Thomas offer elementary and intermedi.
ate courses in Japanese. There is a contractual arrangement with the University of
Minnesota to take Chinese or Japanese
languages (without extra tuition charges);
see campus adviser. Non-majors may also
take the Chinese and Japanese language
courses.
-
East Asian Studies
Minor in East Asian Studies
Five courses, no more than two of
which may be in the language. A minor in
East Asian studies provides exposure to an
area of East Asia which would complement
other disciplines.
Note: Interim courses or new courses
related to the East Asian Studies Program
may be substituted when appropriate, with
the consent of the campus adviser. Faculty
advising is recommended at all stages of
the major to plan a coherent and effective
program.
Each campus has a member on the
ACTC East Asian Studies committee who
can assist students. The current advisers
are: Augsburg College - Martha Johnson
330-1715, Hamline University - Richard
Kagan 641-2433, Macalester -Yue-him

T
he Economics Department offers a
program which 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.
Currently, four majors are offered. The
Economics major is designed primarily for
students who are planning graduate or
advanced professional studies. The
Applied Economics major generally leads
to careers in the business world or govemment. Computational Economics meets the
challenge of the changing career opportunities in the fields of Economics and Computer Science. Finally, the combined
Economics/Business Administration major
is designed for those who want more flexibility in planning their program of study.
The study of Economics provides a firm
foundation for confronting change because
it presents a disciplined way to analyze
and to make choices. Some reasons for
studying Economics are: Economics deals
with current problems; Economics is a
successful and prestigious social science;
Economics employs theoretical models and
the scientific method; an Economics major
prepares students for community leadership; and an Economics major leads to a
great diversity of career opportunities.
These include careers in business, law,
teaching, journalism, politics, banking and
finance, service in government, educational
administration, private and public intemational service and industrial relations. A
degree in Economics may prove to be a
valuable credential.
Students are also able to combine an
Economics major with other disciplines
such as Business Administration, Intemational Relations, Mathematics, Computer
Science, Management Information Systems
(MIS), Political Science, History and Nordic
Area Studies.
Transfer students majoring in the Economics Department must take at least four
Upper Division Economics courses at Augsburg, one of these must be ECO 312 or 313.
Internships are recommended. Students
must consult with the Department chair
and the Internship office before registering
for academic credit.

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 B.A./
B.E. curriculum with the addition of several
extra courses that are completed at
Augsburg during the senior year to
minimize the number of undergraduate
courses, if any, that students must take at
the University before proceeding through
the graduate curriculum. The number of
such courses varies by IT department and
area of emphasis within a department.
Application for admission into the
B.A./M.E. program should be initiated
during the second semester of the junior
year at Augsburg. Formal application for
the program may be completed during the
senior year. Those admitted will receive
special counseling from the Institute of
Technology staff regarding courses that
should be taken during the senior year at
Augsburg. Participants in the B.A./M.E.
program are not guaranteed admission to
the Institute of Technology.
Washington University (Three Year Plan)
Michigan Technological University (Dual

hose who study. English
believe that
.
m intense concern for words, ideas, and
images helps people understand who they
Ire 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.
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 different cultures.
The Augsburg English Department
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 as a
Second Language (ESL) students, tutoring
in the Writing Lab, or participating in the
Cooperative Education Program.
Students with an Augsburg English
major pursue careers in elementary,
secondary and college education, joumal-
ism, government, law, the ministry, library
science, medicine, advertising, public
relations, publishing, writing and other
professions and businesses.

H
istory 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 which 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 several
fields, and a wide range of employment
opportunities which require abilities in
communication, conceptualization, and
processing of information.

A
t least since Socrates, scholars have
appreciated the value of mathematics in
developing the skills of critical thinking,
understanding abstract concepts, and
analyzing and solving problems. Coupled
with the more modem needs of quantitative reasoning, these skills are still essential
for any liberally educated person. Mathematics courses at Augsburg are intended
to help develop these skills in three ways.
Mathematical ideas have had a formative impact on the development of civilization. Since a liberal education should
include a variety of perspectives on our
culture and heritage, a study of mathematics and its influences is an important part
of a liberal arts education.
The Department aims to provide its
majors with skills necessary to serve the
larger community through a variety of
careers. Mathematics majors are prepared
for graduate school or work in industry or
service professions. Students may pursue a
concentration in applied mathematics or
the more traditional major. Internship and
Cooperative Education options help
students take advantage of Augsburg's
proximity to the many technically-oriented
enterprises in the city.
Additionally, an increasing number of
academic disciplines require a working
knowledge of the tools of mathematics.
This Department serves students majoring
in a wide variety of fields. Toward the goal
of serving students with a diversity of
needs, the Department uses a calculus
curriculum in which students leam
concepts in the context of learning skills of
mathematical investigation. A major
federal grant supported the development
of this AUGMENT curriculum.

mathematics course taken at another
college may have their Math Placement
Group determined by the Registrar's
Office. Students who have passed the
College Board Advanced Placement Exam
should consult with the Mathematics
Department. All other students must take
the Augsburg Math Placement Exam. The
exam is given during college registration
sessions and at other announced times
during the year. Students needing to
advance their Math Placement Group may
work with the Academic Enrichment
Center to take the appropriate MAT course
or study on their own and retest. Additional information about the Math Placement Exam is available from the Academic
Advising Center.

T
he Modem Languages Department at
Augsburg College contributes 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 Modem Languages Department
offers language, literature, and culture
courses leading to majors in French,
German, Norwegian and Spanish. Introductory courses in Arabic, Ojibwe and
Russian 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.
In addition to courses in language and
culture, the Department offers linguistics
courses in which students may go beyond
the study of individual languages to
investigate the general principles that
operate in and shape all languages.
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, social work, the
diplomatic corps, the health professions, or
the ministry may wish to take a second
major or minor in modem languages. In
addition, a minor in languages or linguistics is a valuable research tool for those
intending to pursue graduate study in most
academic disciplines.

T-
he Augsburg Nursing Program is
designed exclusively for registered
nurses
who want to increase their opportunities in
the health-care field.
The scope of nursing practice is
changing and expanding. Nurses are being
called on to function in a variety of settings
that differ from those in the past. Today
nurses work in hospitals, clinics, corporations, government agencies, schools and
community organizations. Some are selfemployed, rurming their own businesses.
All of these nurses provide comprehensive
health assessment for individuals from all
cultures and socioeconomic levels. From
helping parents have safe deliveries of
healthy d a n t s to coordinating home care
for the dying, nurses assist people through
the entire life span.
The bachelor's degree equips the nurse
with a working knowledge of the biological, physical, social, behavioral and nursing
sciences. The nursing program at Augsburg
College also provides the educational
opportunities to increase skills in critical
thinking, clinical investigation and
decision-making that prepare nurses to
handle challenging new positions in
today's health-care field.
Augsburg's nursing program, leading
to a Bachelor of Science degree with a
major in Nursing, is accredited by the
National League for Nursing. Graduates of
the program are eligible to apply for public
health nurse registration in Minnesota.
With two additional courses, they are
eligible to apply for school nurse certification.

course and cumulative GPA of 2.5 at the
completion of Level I and Level I1 courses
of study are required. Students also must
complete Augsburg's residence and
General Education Requirements.
The program has been planned so that
the Nursing major can be completed within
two academic years; however, students
may pursue their studies at a slower pace.
Courses in the Nursing major are
offered on weekends with practicum
courses requiring additional weekday
time. While courses are designed so that
the major can be completed within two
years, more time may be required to
complete the total course of study depending on the number of credits transferred
from other colleges or universities. Students in nursing may take non-nursing
courses in both Day School and Weekend
Nursina
College. Students interested in pursuing
the Nursing major should consult with an
adviser from the Nursing Department for
program planning.
Honors Major
GPA of at least 3.6 in the major and 3.3
overall; application to the Department
Chairperson by Nov. 1of the senior year;
recommendation by Nursing faculty;
honors thesis to be defended before a
faculty committee by April 15. Candidates
register for NUR 499 to complete the thesis.
The following steps may be taken in
any order, but all must be completed prior
to application for admission into the
Nursing major.
1. Admission to Augsburg College:
Before you can apply for the Nursing
Program, you must first be admitted to
Augsburg College. All applicants must
present a high school diploma or equivalent and a 2.2 GPA.
2. Graduation from an accredited
nursing program: Applicants must have
graduated from an NLN accredited
associate degree or diploma nursing
program with a 2.5 overall GPA.
3. Unencumbered RN licensure: The
applicant must be a registered nurse who is
licensed and currently registered to
practice in Minnesota prior to be-g
the nursing major.
4. Prerequisite course content: The
following content must have been com-
pleted with a minimum grade of 2.0 chemistry, anatomy and physiology,
microbiology, English composition,
introductory sociology and introductory
psychology. These courses may be taken at
Augsburg or at another accredited college
or university.
5. Current clinical practice: Applicants
must give evidence of current clinical
nursing practice (within the past five
years). This may include graduation from a
school of nursing, work experience, or
completion of a nursing refresher course or
an acceptable equivalent.
6. Applicants must carry their own
malpractice insurance and current CPR
certification.
Options for Completing the Degree
Augsburg recognizes that nurses have
a variety of time schedules, personal
responsibilities and work demands that
must be taken into account in any decision
to work toward a college degree. For this
reason, Augsburg offers full and part-time
sequential alternatives for pursuing this
degree.
The entire Nursing major is available
only through Augsburg's Weekend
College. Classes usually meet on alternate
weekends for one 3 1/2 hour time block.
Clinical practice usually occurs on weekdays.
Students also can complete their
liberal arts General Education Requirements by taking courses in Day School and
Weekend College. It is recommended that
most liberal arts courses be taken before
starting the Nursing major.

T
he Philosophy Department assists
students to understand issues raised in the
traditional areas of plulosophy. We
consider questions about what knowledge
is and how we know, about the nature of
reality, about the basis for making moral
judgments, and about the rules for correct
reasoning. Our goals are to instill in
students a love of truth, to inspire a
curiosity about the sigruficance and
meaning of the world they experience, and
to develop the skills of critical analysis and
creative synthesis.
The department places a special
emphasis on the history of philosophy,
offering four courses covering the period
from the ancient Greeks to the end of the
20th century. In these courses students are
taught how to read, understand, and
criticize great texts of Western civilization,
and to see how ideas have developed and
matured through the centuries. The
department also offers other courses where
philosophy, its methods and ideas are
applied to other disciplines like relipon,
science and the arts.
The major has been carefully planned so
that students can easily graduate with two
majors. Though some majors continue on
to graduate school in philosophy, most use
the major to prepare for other professional
studies such as law, medicine or the
Christian ministry. Philosophy majors
generally outperform others on graduate
entrance in examinations in medicine and
law. Others enter the work place, confident
that the study of philosophy has pven
them the ability to think critically.

T
he Augsburg Physician Assistant
Program is designed for students interested
in careers as health care providers.
The physician assistant concept
originated during the mid-1960s. Physicians and educators recofized there was a
shortage and uneven distribution of
primary care physicians. To combat these
problems, the physician assistant program
h a s developed. h physician assistits
must, by law or regulation, have a supervising physician. An important element of
the physician assistant education is the
emphasis on patient education.
-
The Augsburg Physician Assistant
Program is a 27-month program of study
for students with at least 64 semester hours
of college credit. A new class of 24 students
begins each May. Students who intend to
enter the Physician Assistant Program must
apply by Dec. 31 of the previous year. The
program is very competitive and not all
students who apply are accepted. Physician
Assistant students who have not previously obtained a baccalaureate degree will
earn a Bachelor of Arts in Physician
Assistant Studies upon successful completion of the Program.
The Augsburg Physician Assistant Program is currently in the process of obtaining accreditation from CAAHEP (Cornrnission on Accreditation of Allied Health
Education Programs). At the time of printing of this catalog, the Program was six
months from the site visit for accreditation.
The mission statement of the Augsburg
Physician Assistant Program is to be
generalist Physician Assistant professionals, well educated in theory and practice,
dedicated to excellence in performance,
with the highest standards of ethics and
integrity, committed to lifelong personal
and wrofessional develowment. reswectful

P
hysicists are not only curious about
the world, but ambitious as well. Their aim
is to understand the fundamental prin:iples which describe and govern all
physical aspects of the universe. Called
"natural philosophers" in previous
centuries, physicists investigate natural
systems by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical analysis. Physics
includes the study of systems ranging in
size from sub-atomic particles to the largest
of galaxies and from the relative stillness of
near absolute zero temperature to the fiery
activity of the stars. As a fascinating and
expanding area of study and as a basic
science, physics plays an important role in
many of the liberal arts disciplines and
contributes to society's understanding of
such areas as energy, weather, medical
science and space exploration.
Recognizing the importance of physics
in contemporary life and realizing that
keeping abreast of the rapid advances is an
ever increasing challenge, the Department
intends to bring to the students not only
basic concepts but also insights into recent
developments. In this process, the faculty
expects challenges to arise, be met and
stimulate sound thinking, perceptive
judgment and an interest in experimental
techniques.
To this end a rigorous major provides
students with the in-depth preparation
required for graduate study. More than
two-thirds of the graduates in Physics have
completed or are currently working toward
graduate degrees at a number of fine
universities across the nation. A major in
physics provides flexibility. It also serves as
a stepping stone for graduate work in
related areas such as computer science,
atmospheric science and meteorology,
astronomy, oceanography, biophysics,
environmental science, engineering and
medical and health related fields.
In addition, the Physics program at
Augsburg functions in a supportive role
for students majoring in mathematics,
chemistry, biology and computer science.
The Department also supervises the
Pre-Engineering program with degree programs avdable at cooperating universities
at both the bachelor's and the advanced
degree levels.
The Department maintains active
research programs through its Center for
Atmospheric and Space Sciences. Several
students work each academic year and
summer as research assistants in these
efforts, which are supported by NASA, the
National Science Foundation and other
federal agencies.
The Department also administers
Augsburg College's portion of funds
designated for the Minnesota Space Grant
College Consortium, funded by NASA.
Cooperative Education, internshp and
undergraduate research programs provide
opportunities for students to apply their
physical science knowledge and problem
solving skills in practical situations in
industrial, governmental and academic
settings. Students may participate in
alternating term Cooperative Education
programs or work part-time during two or
more academic terms. Internship opportunities alone generally involve only one
semester.
The Department serves the liberal arts
tradition by offering courses for the nonscience students that will enable them to
attain a general understanding of a
particular area of science. These courses
seek to provide the basic starting point for
further study and the opportunity to enable
students to follow new developments with
some denree of comvrehension.

Ipirmly grounded in the liberal arts
tradition, political science has roots in the
humanities, including philosophy and
history. Through its use of statistical
analysis, it relates not only to other
behavioral sciences, but also to mathematics and the sciences generally. The role and
sigruficance of authority in human affairs
establish the focus of political science;
because politics is a central and enduring
reality in the world, it affects and is
affected by many other human concerns.
As an academic discipline, political
science uses systematic inquiry and
analysis to examine political reality and to
suggest and test alternatives.The student
who majors in political science will explore
political ideas and values, investigate
political cooperation and conflict, analyze
md compare political systems and develop
perspectives on international relations. In
the process, the student will be encouraged
to relate insights from other liberal arts
disciplines such as philosophy, psychology,
?conomics,history and sociology to the
study of politics.
Providing work in several sub-fields of
~oliticalscience, the major supplies the
xeadth appropriate for graduate work in
h e discipline, as well as in public adminisration, public policy analysis, law and
>herprofessions. It also serves as a
bundation on which to develop careers in
?ublic service, business, communications
md other fields. Legislative and other
hternships, as well as significant indepenlent research projects, are within easy
"eachof Augsburg Political Science
;tudents in the Twin Cities area. Combined
~ i t broad,
h
balanced and flexible course
~fferings,these special opportunities
mhance the student's potential for graduIte study and a successful career.
Augsburg Political Science students
have the benefit of an experienced faculty
that brings a balanced expertise to the
course offerings, as well as special
strengths in interpreting politics in the
contexts of the mass communications
media, communism and American public
law. The Departmental faculty is cornmitted to the view that the study of politics,
involving as it does an understanding of
the human heritage and the importance of
informed choice in human affairs, is an
important aspect of liberal learning.

sychology, with its emphasis on
behavioral observation and data, provides
a perspective on human activities which is
an integral part of a liberal education. The
goal of the Psychology program is the
improved understanding of human
behavior by studying how people cope
with their environment and interact with
each other.
The Department's courses have three
basic goals: (1)to introduce the student to
the current information and methods in
psychology as well as earlier approaches to
psychological questions; (2) to develop the
abiity to analyze, interpret and evaluate
behavioral research, and (3) to provide
practice in the application of these principles. The Department program provides
an emphasis on both field experiences and
the theoretical foundation for graduate
study in psychology and related areas.
Internships are designed to provide
students with practical pre-professional
experience. On-the-job experience gives
students the opportunity to test career
fields and develop professional contacts.
Psychologists use a variety of methods
to study behavior, including experimentation, observation and clinical case analysis.
Faculty members in the Department of
Psychology at Augsburg have varied
professional specializations which include
areas such as counseling, physiological
psychology, human development, personality, social, cognitive and organizational
psychology and analysis of public policy.
The Psychology program's emphasis on
the use of a problem solving approach, the
acquisition of information about human
development and interaction, and the
development of human relations skills can
be beneficial in careers in business,
education and other social services, the
church and government, as well as in
careers such as research, law and medicine.

A
ugsburg College understands itself
as a college of the church and it is persuaded that the Christian faith provides an
appropriate perspective from which to
undertake its educational task. The biblical
faith and tradition of the Christian church
have influenced the whole world and they
have affected and continue to influence
language, literature, history, values and
political structures.
While the fundamental orientation of
this College is to the Christian faith, it is
also true that the field of religion obviously
includes more than is represented by the
Christian faith. Large segments of the
earth's population live by religious
concepts and ideas which are different
from Christianity.The Department of
Religion seeks to introduce students to
some of these major religious traditions.
It is the hope and expectation of the
Department that students will become
better acquainted with the content and
character of the Christian faith, enabling
them to reflect theologcally on their own
religious commitment. Courses in religion
are not intended to be footnotes to courses
in other disciplines and departments. The
study of religion and the discipline of
theology have an integrity of their own.
The College offers both a major and a
minor in Religion and a major in Youth and
Family Ministry.

T
he Social Work major prepares
graduates for entry-level generalist
professional practice in the field of human
services. The program is accredited by the
Council on Social Work Education and
leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. The
program is based on a generalist model of
practice, enabling graduates to work with
individuals, families, groups, communities
and to develop and analyze social policy.
Courses within the program utilize a
student empowerment model for teaching
and learning.
Augsburg's social work major provides
a strong foundation for graduate studies in
a variety of fields. Since 1991 Augsburg has
offered a full-time Master of Social Work
degree on a weekend schedule.
The College's commitment to the liberal
arts is highly compatible with education for
professional social work practice. The
liberal arts foundation, with its emphasis
on breadth of understanding, cultural and
ethnic diversity, openness to new ideas,
analysis and synthesis, is ideal for social
work education. As Sir Richard Livingston
has said, "A technician is a person who
knows e v e r y k g there is to know about
his/her job except its ultimate purpose and
social consequence." Effective social
workers go beyond being technicians.
Augsburg social work graduates are entrylevel professionals.
Augsburg College's motto, "Education
for Service," exemplifies the philosophy of
the Social Work Department. Unique
learning opportunities for field work
placement and cultural enrichment are
hrovided by a metropolitan setting known
for a humane quality of life which is
enhanced by the arts, outstanding human
services and a highly-educated populace.
Social work opportunities abound. Minne.

of its social services. The Twin Cities, as the
hub for these services, provides both a
variety of field placements for social work
students and external experts for the
classroom. The ethnic and economic
diversity present in this metropolitan area
provides opportunities for social work
students to learn to understand, appreciate,
respect and work with people different
from themselves and to be enriched by this
opportunity to interact with diverse clients
and professionals.
The Social Work Program strives to
contribute to its environment as well as to
gain from it. Appropriately, social work
students have been involved in a wide
variety of community service efforts
including helping to develop the LINK
program on campus, mobilizing students
to assist a social service agency in their
annual Christmas giving program, and
tutoring at a local neighborhood center.
The Social Welfare minor and electives
in the Department allow students to
support another major while gaining
knowledge about human needs and
growth, human services and the methods
of effective citizenship. Students taking
these courses have the opportunity to
become knowledgeable about public issues
and develop and nurture a perspective that
sees the central importance of diversity to
the social fabric of this country. But beyond
knowledge, students are encouraged to use
their talents and skills to address the needs
of society in the interest of the public good,
always emphasizing social justice.

S
ociology is the study of society as a
whole and of human social organization
and groups. The sociological perspective
provides a way to better understand the
social world and how individuals come to
think and act as they do.
The goal of the Department is to help
students develop their understanding of
the social order and how it affects them in
their daily lives. Sociology majors develop
an understanding of the theories of society
and social groups, learn to create and use
sociological tools of analysis, and learn
how to apply sociological concepts to the
solution of social problems.
Students are encouraged to select as
electives some of the non-traditional
learning models available, such as internships, independent study, Interim courses
and field studies. The Department urges
students to use Augsburg's metropolitan
setting as a laboratory for learning.
Internships and Cooperative Education
enable majors to apply the theories and
research skills of sociology while they
explore career alternatives. Augsburg
alumni who have majored in sociology are
currently employed in the human resources
departments of both government and
private corporations, in industrial relations
work and in program evaluation. Others
have used their majors as preparation for
advanced study in areas such as law, the
ministry, social work, urban planning and
criminal justice.

and four additional Sociology courses.
Note: SOC 399 is highly recommended.
Concentration in Crime and Community
Society is increasingly concerned about
crime. Not surprisingly, many of our
students are interested in the field of
criminal justice.
The concentration is not a traditional
criminal justice major. Rather, the focus is
on understanding crime in the community
with respect to the prevention and solution
of problems that lead to crime, as well as
understanding the criminal justice system
developed to respond to it. Students
interested in community crime prevention
as well as the traditional aspects of criminal
justice - courts, prisons, probation, and
law - will be served by this major. See
Department Chair for specific requirements.
Teaching Licensure Major
The State of Minnesota has specific
licensing requirements for teachers
which may differ slightly in emphasis
from the Augsburg major requirements.
The state requirements may also be subject
to change after publication of this catalog.
Students therefore should consult with
the Augsburg Education Department to
identify current Minnesota teacher
licensure requirements.

of
our communication. A
-communication major at Augsburg is
designed to enhance understanding of
communication in a variety of contexts and
to improve communication skills.
Since communication careers demand
a broad educationa1background, the
Department strongly encourages a second
major or two minors in fields such as
business, economics, English, history,
international relations, political science,
psychology, religon, social work or
sociology.
The Augsburg Communication major
focuses on competency in both speech and
writing, as well as effective use of media.
Since the study and practice of communication is grounded in both the humanities
and the social sciences, majors are encouraged to include such related subjects as
aesthetics, ethics, philosophy, logic,
literature, statistics and research methods
in their programs.
Prospective majors should meet with
a Departmental Adviser as early as possible to design an approved major program, preferably by the end of the sophomore year.

T
he study of theatre is essential to a
liberal arts education in that theatre is a
way to experience, experiment and
integrate knowledge from many disciplines, such as: art, music, history, philosophy, religion and literature. For this reason
we offer liberal arts connections through
cross disciplinary and interdisciplinary
courses. As well, we offer a solid base in
classical, modem and contemporary
theatre while incorporating non-Western
and nontraditional theatre to support our
commitment to the multicultural experience.
At Augsburg we seek to create every
opportunity for students to grow as human
beings by encouraging connections
between theory and application through
course study, production work and the
Artist Series. Theatre productions are
created as unique learning laboratories in
creative collaboration with faculty and
artists-in-residence. Augsburg is an ideal
place to study theatre as it is located in a
major theatre center. Students expand their
knowledge of theatre not only by attending, but by working with numerous local
theatre artists and professional theatre
companies.
Augsburg theatre students participate
in all aspects of theatre production, while
learning skills such as creative problem
solving, critical thinking, collaboration,
public relations, leadership and articulation
of ideas both verbally and visually that
translate to a variety of careers. We help
prepare students to enter graduate school,
law school, semina~y,education, business
and various communication fields including professional theatre, television, film
and journalism.

from the President
I hope you are looking at this catalog
because you've enrolled at Augsburg College.
If so, welcome to the College! All of us hope you
find, in the course of your study, a rising enthusiasm for the work, a deepening appreciation of
the profession and role to which you feel called,
and a confident sureness that you have rightly
chosen Augsburg as the community in which to
spend the next several years of your life.
If you're dipping into this volume to
figure out who and what Augsburg College is
and what education it offers, welcome to these
pages! May they convey the fundamental
character of our mission: to provide an education
especially serviceable in the contemporary world
because it has been designed in the midst of and
in full contact with the critical social, economic,
religious, and political phenomena of the modern
city. This education, however practical and professional, will be serviceable over the long haul only
to the degree that it respects and pursues certain
of what Martin Luther called "the fine liberal arts," and it will be exciting to the degree it is
offered for the sake of improving both its students and the world itself.
The study you are undertaking at Augsburg-r
thinking of undertaking-will occur on a
small campus in the core of a great city; it will be led by faculty preoccupied with your welfare
and the emergence and refinement of your vocational plans.
As you join the enterprise, or consider doing so, please know that those of us who await
you here find the College an exciting setting, full of diversity and yet possessed of a community
dedicated to higher learning and good living, in which you can set off in new directions and in
which new destinations are reachable.
Bon voyage!
Sincerely yours,
William V. h a k e
President

A
t 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 your
best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of
today and tomorrow. Upon graduation, you
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
Emphasis on values, perspectives,
experience, and skills
The heart of an Augsburg education is
the Augsburg curriculum-the College's
general education program, which structures your liberal arts studies through challenging and thought-provoking courses
requiring students to consider important
issues and examine values questions. These
Liberal Arts Perspectives include Western
Heritage, Intercultural Awareness, Human
Identity, the Social World, Christian Faith,
The City, Aesthetics, and the Natural World.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve you
for a lifetime-writing, speaking, critical
thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to
name a few.
Thanks to Augsburg's prime location in
the heart of a thriving metropolitan area,
many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense,
the resources of the Twin Cities are an
extended campus for Augsburg students.
Selection from over 50 majors
Augsburg offers more than 50 majorsor you can create your own major either
on campus or through the Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See
page 53 for a complete list of majors and
minors.) This five-college consortium
allows students to take courses on other
campuses without charge while a full-time
student at Augsburg. The ACTC includes
Augsburg College, College of St. Catherine,
Hamline University, Macalester College,
and the University of St. Thomas.
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 to the mission of the College:
To nurture future leaders in service to
the world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in
the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and
values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by
an intentionally diverse campus community.
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America,
named after the confessibn of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Gennany, in
1530. Augsburg opened in September
1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved
to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first
graduation was in 1879.
10 About Augsburg
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
The Focus Changed
August Weenaas was Augsburg's first
president (1869-1876).
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
Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She
spent the next 42 years at the College as a
teacher and administrator.
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 over 125 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist"
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second
president (1876-1907), required students
to get pre-ministerial experience in city
congregations. Student involvement in the
community gave early expression to the
concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education
for Service."
In the 1890s, Apgsburg leaders formed
the Friends of Augsburg, later called the
Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and
personal Christianity. This change made
Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important
primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The 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 (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and
civic circles made Augsburg a more visible
part of church and city life.
After World War 11, Augsburg leaders
made vigorous efforts to expand and improve
academic offerings. Now the College was a
larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential
to a liberal arts college, offering a modem
college program based on general education requirements and elective majors.
With cumculum change came a long effort
to become accredited.
The College reached accreditation in
1954, although many alumni had entered
graduate schools and teaching positions
long before that time.
A study in 1962 defined the College's
mission 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.
About Augsburg
A College in the City
President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on
involvement with the city. He wanted to
reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for
all people. During his years of leadership
the College became a vital and integral part
of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg
added the Music Hall, Mortensen Tower,
Urness Tower, the Christensen Center, Ice
Arena, and Murphy Place.
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders
who believed:
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 cumculum 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 Center for
Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the
James G. Lindell Family Library.
The city-with all its excitement,
challenges, and diversity-is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Dr. William V Frame became president
in August 1997. He has initiated a strategic
planning process intended to iden* the
distinguishing marks of the Augsburg education-in both pedagogy and substance-and
a restructuring effort intended to improve
operating efficiencies and open access for the
College to new sources of capital.
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;
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution
set in the heart of a great metropolitan center.
There are now almost 14,000 Augsburg
alumni. In a world that has changed much
since those first days of the College,
Augsburg still sends out graduates who
make a difference where they live and work.
In addition to a traditional undergraduate liberal arts and sciences "day"
program, Augsburg offers a Weekend
College program for nontraditional
students and master's degree programs
in social work and leadership.

TRANSFER STUDENTS
Augsburg College welcomes students
who wish to transfer from other accredited
colleges or universities. College credit is

20 Undergraduate Admissions
Augsburg College limits transfer
coursework from two-year colleges once a
student has reached junior status. Students
may transfer a maximum of 64 semester
credits (96 quarter credits) from two-year
colleges. Once a student reaches junior
status, no additional credits will transfer
from two-year institutions toward the
minimum of 33 credits required for a
baccalaureate degree. These courses can,
however, be used to meet liberal arts and
major requirements.
A cumulative grade point average
(GPA) of 2.2 (on a 4.0 scale) or better is
required on previous college work for
admission to the College.
Acceptance of courses submitted for
transfer is done by the registrar's office
based upon the official student
transcript(s). Acceptance of courses presented for a major or minor also requires
approval of the department. The major or
minor department may require certain
courses or a minimum number of courses
be taken at Augsburg.
Students transferring from the
Minnesota State University and College
System who have completed the Minnesota
Transfer Cumculum, have earned the
Associate of Arts degree from MNSCU, and
have a 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) cumulative GPA
or higher will be given transfer status as
outlined below.
The following applies only to the
MNSCU A.A. graduate:
1.Admission will be with junior standing.
A maximum of 17 Augsburg equivalent
courses (64 semester credits or 96 quarter
credits from a community college) will be
accepted once junior status is reached. No
additional courses may be transferred from
a community college.
2. All Augsburg general education requirements will be waived except:
The City Perspective
Two courses in Christian Faith (any
two areas)
The language requirement as stated
One course that meets the Quantitative
Reasoning Graduation Skill requirement
One graduation skill writing course in
the major
College algebra or Math Placement
Group 3
3. Courses with D grades will not be
accepted as prerequisites or for application
to majors. Some Augsburg majors require
additional prerequisite coursework beyond
the A.A. degree. Also, the physician assistant major requires a cumulative GPA
higher than 2.5. Students are advised to
consult major departments for major
requirements upon transfer.
Admission to a major, as well as admission to the College, is sometimes necessary.
Please check with the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions and consult the
departmental section of this catalog.

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 Office of Student
Financial Services, will help students and
their families protect access to a quality
Augsburg education in a time of increasing
financial challenge.

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 1998-99 academic year,

accrue and be capitalized (added to the
balance of the loan).

xperiences 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.
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. 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 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.
Through Student Government, students
secure a closer relationship with and better
understanding of the administration and
faculty and provide input into the decisionmaking process at Augsburg. Student
Government also sponsors and directs student activities, protects student rights, and
provides the means for discussions and
action on all issues pertaining to student
life at Augsburg.
Student Government is organized into
the executive branch, the legislative
branch, and the judicial branch. Elections
are held in the spring for the next year.
Freshmen elect their representatives in the
fall of their first year. Many kinds of
involvement are possible-program planning, writing, editing, or service opportunities. If you want to get involved, contact
the president or vice president of the student body in their offices in the lower level
of the Christensen Center.
The Student Activities Program creates
opportunities for students to enhance their
leadership skills through active involvement in developing events, activities, and
organizations that serve the student community. Hundreds of major programming
efforts and targeted activities for specific
student interests are generated through
these efforts and make Augsburg a dynamic
and enjoyable interactive environment.
-
Student Life 41
Throughout the year, a variety of social
and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These
activities include dances, films, theme
events, name entertainment, and visiting
personalities in various fields.
The Christensen Center is the focus of
leisure-time activity on campus. Cooper's
Attic (the gameroom and student lounge)
is a popular hangout located in the lower
level. Many of the clubs that unite classroom and non-classroom related interests
meet here. Student offices in this area
include the College newspaper, the Echo;
the yearbook, The Augsburgian; Student
Government; and the Augsburg Student
Activities Council. KCMR, a student-operated nonprofit radio station serving the
needs of Augsburg and the surrounding
Cedar-Riverside community, is located in
Umess Tower.
Students have many opportunities to
participate in music and drama. In addition
to appearing on campus and in the city, the
Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and
Orchestra perform on national and international tours. Many other ensembles are
available to cover the entire range of musical styles and previous musical experience.
Students stage several plays on campus
each year under the direction of the
Theatre Arts Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of on-campus
workshops with visiting arts professionals.
INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Augsburg is affiliated with the
Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference (MIAC) and is a member of
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) Division 111. Men
annually compete in football, soccer, cross
country, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling,
baseball, track and field, and golf. Women
annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, softball,
track and field, and golf.
When Augsburg announced in
February 1995 that it was adding women's
ice hockey as a varsity sport, it became the
first college or university in Minnesota to
do so.
H INTRAMURALS
Every student is urged to participate in
some activity for recreation and relaxation.
An intramural program provides competition in a variety of team sports as well as
individual performance activities.
Broomball has been an especially popular
coed sport. Check schedules for times
when there is open use of the gymnasium
and ice arena.
SPORTS AND RECREATION
At Augsburg, sports are for the average
student as well as the intercollegiate
athlete. The campus offers on a spaceavailable basis a double-rink ice arena,
gymnasium, tennis courts, a fitness center
with workout machines and weight room,
and an air supported dome over the athletic
field for winter fitness use by walkers and
runners. (See Fitness Center on page 45.)
42 Student Life

Augsburg's mission focuses on student
learning in the broadest sense. As an indication of the emphasis placed on student
learning, the student and academic affairs

resources of the library and information
technology. The following sections elaborate on facets of student life. The formal

48 Student Life
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
81 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. 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 registrar's office.

A
ugsburg College constructs its curriculum upon the
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, natural sciences, and social sciences, the general education curriculum introduces students to
the breadth and complexity of knowledge
and culture.
Required courses in Christian Faith are
designed to acquaint students with the
Christian tradition and encourage them to
reflect upon the importance and meaning
of spirituality in their lives. Recreation
courses offer students opportunities to
develop skills for participation in exercise
and sporting activities.
Students choose from over 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.
DECREES 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 and the master
of social work degrees.
ACADEMIC CALENDAR
The Augsburg day program follows the
4-1-4 calendar, with fall and spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks, separated
by a four-week January Interim. Full-time
students normally take four course credits
each semester and one course during
Interim. Day school freshmen are required
to take an Interim course their first year.
The 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. (See Registration on
page 64 and Calendars on pages 4 and 5.)
January Interim is particularly intended to
be a time for both students and faculty to
employ different styles of teaching and
learning, and to investigate questions and
topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. The Interim catalog,
published in the fall of each year, is distributed to all students and is available by contacting the Interim Office. In addition to
classes offered on campus, Augsburg offers
a variety of travel opportunities within the
United States and abroad.
Augsburg offers two summer school
sessions. A maximum of three course credits
can be earned in the two annual summer
sessions, one of four weeks and one of six
weeks. The Summer Session Catalog, published in the winter of each year, is distributed to all students, and is available by contacting the Office of Summer School.
Augsburg Weekend College and graduate programs follow a trimester calendar
(see Augsburg Weekend College and
Graduate Programs on page 62.)
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 other terminal degree, and all
consider teaching to be the focus of their
activity. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activi-
-
Academic lnformation 51
ties, but see these activities as supporting
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 freshman 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 at the start of the 1997-98 academic year. The new, four-level, 77,000-squarefoot facility houses all library and information technology functions of the College.
In addition to the 175,000 volume main
collection, the Lindell Library includes the
Gage Family Art Gallery, special collections
and archives, a curriculum library and
instructional technology lab, library
instruction classroom, and facilities for
media viewing and listening. A bridge will
link the new building to Sverdrup Hall (the
former library), which will be renovated to
house additional computer labs and multimedia classrooms as well as a lounge and
vending area.
Library Resources
A service-oriented staff provides students and faculty alike with assistance to
meet diverse information needs including
instruction in the use of the library, reference service, and guidance in pursuing
research. Arrangements are made for access
by students with physical limitation and
special needs. Students can search a wide
variety of local, regional, national, and
international databases. Electronic access
to the world of scholarship is also available
through the Internet, and a computerized
on-line catalog and daily courier service
provide access to the library holdings of
the seven private liberal arts colleges in the
Twin Cities. Appropriately equipped laptop
computers can be connected to any of several hundred data ports throughout the
building to access these resources.
lnformation Technology Resources
Augsburg College has been a member
of the National Science Foundation's
Internet since 1990 and has built a reputation as a leader in its commitment to provide students with the best access to information technology and training. In
Newsweek magazine's Cyberscope section
on Aug. 1, 1994, for example, Augsburg
was cited as one of two first-rate sources
for information about the Internet. Visit
Augsburg's Web site <www.augsburg.edu>
for more on IT at Augsburg.
Computing
Students have access to over 180 oncampus personal computer systems. There
are desktop machines in three computer
labs and four computer classrooms, as well
as a suite of laptops that can be checked
out at the IT Service Center. Other
machines ar'i: available for student use
within academic departments. A campuswide network offers a full range of network
services including printing, e-mail, newsgroups, the World Wide Web, and access
to resources available via Gopher, Telnet,
and FTF! Appropriately equipped studentowned machines can also be connected to
the network to provide access from dormitory rooms. (Also see Honors Computing
and Communications Lab under Honors
Program on page 56.)
52 Academic Information
Media
The Media Center provides a large collection of sound recordings, video tapes
and films, as well as equipment for instructional use. Audio and video tape duplication within the limits set by copyright law
is available. The center supplies TV sets,
VCRs, video cameras, video editing, tape
recorders, microphones, slide-, overhead-,
filmstrip-, and movie projectors as well as
screens and carts. Facilities for classes in
broadcasting are located near the communications department in Foss Center.
Telecommunications
A campus-wide telecommunications
system enables easy and convenient voice
communication between students, faculty,
and staff. Students can leave voice mail
messages with any member of the faculty,
administration or the staff; voice mail
or call waiting are available to resident
students at a modest cost. Long-distance
service, billed to individual students,
can be arranged for any on-campus
residence phone.
ACADEMIC ADVISING CENTER
(AAC)
The Academic Advising Center advises
all incoming students with undeclared
majors, provides information on matters of
general education, administers and tracks
all entry level skills assessments, interprets
catalog and graduation skills requirements,
and advises students who have been placed
on academic probation and re-entering suspended students regarding GPA requirements. The AAC also provides materials
for organizing and recording student academic progress. The center also coordinates
summer advising for the orientation program and provides in-service training and
development for faculty advisers.
AUCSBURG SEMINAR (AUG)
The Augsburg Seminar assists students
in their first Augsburg registration, provides orientation events before classes
begin, and includes a seminar series.
The Augsburg Seminar reflects the
College's commitment to a meaningful
introduction to college for our s t u d e n t s
an enriching beginning for a college career.
To provide focus for this introduction, the
Augsburg Seminar is centered on a series
of themes. These themes are reflected in
and expanded upon in readings, discussions, and other activities. Diversity, tradition, change, ways of knowing, and what it
means to be an educated person are all
themes associated with the program. (Also

Students planning to teach on the secondary level have advisers both in the
Department of Education and the area of
their academic major(s) .
Academic Information
The State of Minnesota intends to have
new teacher licensure rules in effect by
August 1, 2000. Students who enter the
programs in the fall of 1998 and beyond
will be under the new rules. It is expected
that license areas after that date will be
similar to the list printed above. It is the
student's responsibility to work closely
with an education department adviser and
to stay informed about changing requirements in their teaching field.
Pre-Professional Programs
Students who plan to enter the fields of
law, medicine, denti~try,~ministry,
veterinary
science, pharmacy, or erigineering 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 the Academic Advising
Center early in their freshman year to
arrange for help from the appropriate faculty adviser.
Pre-Dentistry--These courses are recommended to fulfill the minimum requirements of the School of Dentistry at the
University of Minnesota: ENG, two courses;

138-139.
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-Many medical schools
are encouraging a liberal arts education to
prepare for study in medicine. While a
major in chemistry and biology is not
required to apply to medical schools, many
students with an interest in the sciences
choose to major in these fields.
Coursework that is required by most medical schools includes: two composition
courses, including ENG 111; CHM 115,
116 (or 105, 106); CHM 351,352; BIO
113, 114,215,367; MAT 145,146; PHY
121, 122. Courses recommended in preparation for MCATs: BIO 355, 473, 476;

HONORS PROGRAM
The Honors Program is designed to
challenge and encourage the most academically distinguished students at Augsburg.
The program combines academic and cultural components with social activities.
Members of the program normally enter as
freshmen, but students may enter the program as late as the beginning of the junior
year. Students graduate from the Honors
Program upon successful completion of the
program, which is noted on the transcript.
That notation provides an advantage for
both employment and graduate school
application.
The Honors Program at Augsburg was
awarded a National Science Foundation
Grant in 1995 to establish an Honors
Computing and Communications Lab in
Foss 20, and to put the program on a computational footing. Students entering the
program as freshmen are required to take
an honors version of CSC 160 Introduction
to Computer Science and Communications,
which establishes crisp computing and
communications skills at the outset of
their collegiate careers. Other courses in
the program make use of these computing
skills in lab-oriented sequences exploring
literature, writing, history, religion, philosophy, and social and natural science.
During the junior and senior years, students take four mini-seminars (one full
course credit upon completion), one each
semester, and participate in a six-week
Monday Forum Program each term.
Seniors take a senior seminar during
Interim, which satisfies a perspective
requirement, and are obliged to complete
an approved honors project. Some seniors
satisfy this requirement by serving on the
Augsburg Honors Review, a yearly journal
that publishes outstanding student papers.
Requirements center on full participation in the program and the maintenance
of at least a 3.3 GPA the freshman year, a
3.4 the sophomore year, and a 3.5 the last
two years. Please direct inquiries to Dr.
Joan Griffin, associate director of the
Honors Program, 330-1045, or Dr. Lany
Crockett, director of the Honors Program,
330-1060.
INTER-INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS
Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities
area on several programs.
Library and Media CenterThrough CLIC, the Twin Cities private
-
Academic Information 57
colleges library consortium, the Augsburg
community has direct access to over
1,300,000 volumes.
Associated Colleges of t h e Twin
Cities (ACTC)-Full-time weekday students at Augsburg and the St. Paul colleges
and universities of Hamline, Macalester, St.
Catherine, and St. Thomas may elect a
course each semester at one of the other
campuses. No additional fee is required for
such an exchange, except for private
instruction in music or approved independent studies. Students may elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain
new perspectives, to get better acquainted
with the other schools, or to undertake a
specific course or major not offered on the
home campus. The colleges have coordinated calendars. The Interim term may also
be taken on another campus. A regularly
scheduled bus shuttles students between
the campuses.
Augsburg College also cooperates with
other colleges in planning study opportunities for the January Interim.
Higher Education Consortium for
Urban Affairs (HECUA)-Augsburg, in
cooperation with 17 other colleges and
universities, offers off-campus study semesters in Scandinavia, South and Central
America, and the Twin Cities. (See HECUA
programs on page 59.)
Air Force ROTC-Augsburg students
may participate in the Air Force ROTC program at the University of St. Thomas under
the ACTC consortium agreement. Students
are eligible to compete for two- and threeyear AFROTC scholarships. For more information, contact the registrar's office.
Army ROTC-Augsburg 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. For more information, contact
the registrar's office.
Naval ROTC-Augsburg students may
participate in the Naval ROTC program at
the University of Minnesota under an
agreement between Augsburg, the
University of Minnesota, and the program.
For more information, contact the registrar's office.
Note: A maximum of one full Augsburg
course credit of military science studies
may apply toward the total credits required
for graduation. Additional military science
credits beyond the one credit allowed will
be classified as non-degree credits.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR
STUDY ABROAD
An increasing number of Augsburg students are taking advantage of the opportunity to gain academic credit for an overseas
experience. Through study abroad students
may meet with grassroots women's organizations in Mexico, work in a small business or artisan program in Kenya, examine
Scandinavian perspectives on world peace
in Norway or thrill to the sounds of The
Magic Flute at the Viennese state opera
house. Study abroad provides opportunities
to develop critical thinking skills, strengthen
language competencies, further career
paths, experience different cultures, and
gain knowledge about the increasingly
interdependent world.
Academic Requirements and Credit
Study abroad is an integral part of several majors at Augsburg, but will add an
international dimension to any academic
program. Students normally receive the
same number of course credits abroad as if
studying on campus. Courses abroad can
58 Academic Information
fulfill major, general education, and graduation requirements when approved by academic advisers and department chairs
before departure.
Students receive advice on selecting
programs that best fit their academic,
career, and personal objectives. Assistance
is provided with application, course registration, financing, and travel arrangements.
Orientation and re-entry programs assist
students in integrating the experience
abroad into their coursework and
personal lives.
Eligibility and Application
All students in good academic standing
(a minimum GPA of 2.5) at Augsburg may
apply for permission to study off campus.
Although foreign language skills are an
asset, they are not required. Since it takes
some time to prepare for studying abroad,
students should start planning during their
freshman and sophomore years.
The deadline for application is Sept. 30
for off-campus study during spring term
and March 1 for off-campus study during
fall term.
Costs and Financial Aid
The cost of many programs is equivalent to full tuition, room, and board for a
semester on campus. Financial aid is granted
on the same basis as on-campus study.
Cost estimates are drawn up to assist the
financial aid office in awarding aid to students studying overseas.
The Center for Global Education
The Center for Global Education facilitates cross-cultural learning experiences
that prepare people to think more critically
about global issues and to work toward a
more just and sustainable world. The tenter's programs explore a diversity of view-
points and are grounded in the perspectives of the poor and of others struggling
for justice and human dignity.
The center's study programs are conducted in Central America, Mexico, and
Namibia. Students experience three distinct types of living situations: living with
other participants in a community house,
spending several days in a rural setting,
and several weeks living with host families.
They also 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.
Women and Development: Latin
American Perspectives (Mexico)-Fall
This program explores the experiences
of women in Latin America, focusing on
their roles in economic development,
social change strategies, and the connections women are drawing among issues of

THE CENTER FOR SERVICE, WORK,
AND LEARNING
The Center for Service, Work, and
Learning is a comprehensive center incorporating an educational focus emphasizing
the importance and value for all students
to engage in service and work-based learning experiences and design of a four-year
career plan integrating their education
with a vocation and life plan.
The center helps students take advantage of Augsburg's metropolitan location
through the highly successful experiential
programs that link the College's academic
programs to Twin Cities employers and
organizations. Through internships, cooperative education, and community servicelearning, Augsburg students integrate and
expand their liberal arts education by
embracing the worlds of work and service
and integrating this learning with their
career and vocation plan.
The center helps link employers, community organizations, and the academic
program in ways that enrich and expand a
student's educational experience and personal development. Experiential education
opportunities are closely related to a student's major, coursework, or career interest. Placements may be in small and midsize companies, large corporations, nonprofit organizations, schools, government
agencies, and community-based organizations.
The underlying assumption is that a
liberal arts education is an effective preparation for careers and citizenship. The integration of "knowing and doing" adds
breadth and depth to the liberal arts curriculum and assists students in making
more informed academic, personal, and
career decisions.

Academic Internships
An academic internship is a carefully
planned, work-based learning experience
where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning objectives. A
learning agreement plan that is negotiated
with a faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlining the internship objectives,
strategies, and evaluation methods, is
required.
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.
Upper division internships are numbered
399 and lower division internships are
numbered 199 (see page 85).
Internships are available in all majors
and can be taken during a semester (or
Weekend College trimester), Interim, or
summer session. Interdisciplinary internships are also available. For extension of an
internship beyond one term see Evaluation
and Grading on page 75.
A maximum of four courses of internship may count toward the total courses
required for the degree.
Cooperative Education
Cooperative education is a college-supported, paid, work-learning experience that
is closely related to a student's major or
career objective. The goal is to combine
theory with practice in work or servicebased settings.
Students also earn money to help defray
educational costs while gaining important
on-the-job experience. Job placements typically are part-time during the academic
year andlor full-time in the summer. Co-op
jobs are flexible and can begin and end
anytime. Co-op ed is not accredited in and
of itself, but a non-credit cooperative education transcript notation is highly recommended during the academic terms the
student is employed. Co-op ed students are
encouraged to register for at least one
internship for credit in conjunction with
their cooperative education participation.
Co-op ed is available to Augsburg students
who have completed their freshman year
and are in good academic standing.
Community Service-Learning
Augsburg's Community ServiceLearning Program provides students with
opportunities to respond to human needs
in the city through service experiences,
which include reflection on and analysis of
community issues in order to promote personal and educational growth. Augsburg
students learn from the community in
which they live by participating in service
activities combined with learning components such as orientation sessions, seminars, and class discussions. This dynamic
and interactive educational approach
employs reciprocal learning between the
students and the community. Community
service examples include tutoring at
schools and community centers close to
campus, volunteering at homeless shelters,
building housing for low-income people,
or working with environmental groups.
Service-learning experiences include
course-embedded community service,
internships, cooperative education, and a
wide range of extracurricular volunteer
options.
The service-learning program works
closely with the student-directed Augsburg
LINK, residence hall directors, and campus
ministry.

CAREER SERVICES
Career Services is committed to assisting all students with their career planning.
This process is an important part of a student's development while attending college. To aid students in this process, Career
Services offers students the opportunity to
actively participate in career seminars,
career assessments, one-on-one counseling,
self-paced computer career planning modules, and use of the Alumni Resource
Network for informational interviews.
Services are available to all students,
but some programs are sponsored especially
for seniors. Seniors are encouraged to
attend one of three annual job fairs with
recruiters representing business, education,
or nonprofit and government sectors.
There is also an annual graduate and professional school fair for seniors to explore
educational options after graduation.
WEEKEND COLLEGE
Augsburg Weekend College provides an
educational alternative for adult students
who work or have other commitments
during the week. It is a means to earn a
college degree, complete a second major,
or pursue a personal interest or skill.
Weekend College classes meet on alternate weekends. There are three trimester
terms during the academic year, from early
September through June. Students may
take from one to four classes each term.
Although Augsburg Weekend College
involves the same courses as the day pro:
gram, the cumculum is limited to selected
liberal arts courses and the following
majors: accounting, business administra-
tion (specializations in finance, international business, management, and marketing), communication (concentrations in
general communication, organizational
communication and mass communication), computer science, economics, elementary and secondary education, English,
history, management information systems,
nursing, psychology, religion, social work,
and studio art. A separate Weekend
College catalog is available from the Office
of Weekend College, (612) 330-1782.
GRADUATE PROGRAMS
Augsburg College offers two graduate
degree programs: the Master of Arts in
Leadership (MAL) and the Master of
Social Work (MSW). Catalogs for each
degree program should be consulted for
complete information.
The Master of Arts in Leadership is
based on the subject matter and approaches
of the traditional liberal arts. This crossdisciplinary program directs its academic
content and pedagogical approaches at 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 operates on alternate
Saturdays and alternate Thursday evenings.
The Master of Social Work (MSW) 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.
Academic lnformatsn
There are two concentrations: family
practice or program development, policy,
and administration. 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, problem-solving
framework. Graduate social work classes
meet in four-hour blocks on Friday
evenings, Saturday mornings, and
Saturday afternoons.
The program development, policy, and
administration concentration has been
developed in response to the growing
demand for creative leadership and administration of policies and services that
respond to human need.
OTHER PROGRAMS
Continuing Education Program
The mission of the Augsburg College
continuing education program is to provide working adults with lifelong learning
opportunities that will enable them to continue to grow personally, professionally,

in 1985 with endowment from the Mildred
Joel bequest for Canadian studies. The program supports special events and conferences as well as student internships and
faculty activity in Canadian studies. The
goals of the program include community
involvement, increased awareness of the
importance of Canadian/U.S. relations, and
provision of opportunities to learn directly
from Canadians through visits and
exchanges. For more information contact

REGISTRATION
A student must be registered for a
course to receive credit for it.
Full-time students normally register for
four course credits per semester and one
course during Interim. Students registered
for three or more course credits in a semester are classified as full-time students. To
register for more than 4.5 course credits,

days of a semester.
A joint class schedule is published each
spring by the Associated Colleges of the
Twin Cities, listing courses and their locations at the five colleges for the following
academic year. As some courses are offered
only in alternate years, students should
also consult with departmental advisers
when planning their academic program.
Interim, summer school, Weekend
College, and graduate program courses are
published in separate catalogs.

form must be submitted to the registrar's
office prior to the expiration of the previous leave of absence period, or an application for re-admission will be required.
Students are responsible for keeping the
registrar's office informed of their mailing
addresses. All deadlines for financial aid
and housing must be observed by the
returning student. A leave of absence does
not defer payment of loans or extend
incomplete course deadlines.
Former Students
Former Augsburg students, re-admitted
to complete a degree after being away from
the College for at least one calendar year,
have a choice between using the catalog in
effect when they first enrolled, if possible,
or using the catalog in effect at the point of
re-admission. Students must meet all of the

LIBERAL ARTS PERSPECTIVES
The general education Liberal Arts
Perspectives have the primary goal of providing the basis for beginning to understand what it means to be a human. The
goals of the perspectives are achieved
through a variety of courses that have been
approved as meeting the criteria established for each perspective.
Students will choose from a list of
courses meeting the Liberal Arts
Perspectives, available from the registrar's
office. These choices are controlled by the
following policies:
1. A student will choose a minimum of
one course from each required perspective
category.
2. No single course can fulfill the
requirements in two or more categories.
RATIONALE FOR PERSPECTIVES
Augsburg, in its mission statement,
declares the College exists "to nurture
future leaders in service to the world by
providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in the liberal arts
and shaped by the faith and values of the
Christian Church, by the context of a vital
metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community." One way
that the College seeks consciously to realize this mission is through its general education curriculum.
The Augsburg faculty has designed a
cohesive academic program incorporating
general education, major courses, supporting courses, and elective courses leading to
the bachelor's degree. The core of the
Augsburg curriculum is found in the liberal
arts as expressed in the general education
component of the College cuniculum that
is divided under two headings: Liberal Arts
Perspectives and Skills.
72 Academic Information
The term "perspective" assumes that
not only are we engaged in the search for
truth, but that this requires the searcher to
consider questions from a variety of viewpoints, each of which has something valuable to contribute to the whole. These perspectives are not strictly identified with
traditional disciplines, but are understood
in ways that encourage multi-disciplinary
reflections on the questions at issue. They
combine concerns about content with
those of process and approach, directed
ultimately to making the student a more
effective learner and participant in society.
The following requirements reflect the
way in which Augsburg has chosen to view
the liberal arts. Two of the four features of
the mission statement are embodied in the
general education perspectives: The
Character and Mission of Augsburg
College: The Christian Faith and The City.
These perspectives emphasize that the
College's affiliation with the Lutheran
Church, its insistence on the value of
knowing the approach that derives from
the Christian roots of the College, and its
location in the city deserve special consideration in Augsburg's educational program.
The third feature-that Augsburg is a
liberal arts institution-is also emphasized
in the other general education perspective
requirements. Certain dimensions of
human life-of what it is to be humanform the core of the required liberal arts
experience. These overall perspectives on
what it is to be human can themselves be
studied from the vantage points of the various academic disciplines.
Students need to learn about themselves, about what it is to be a person.
Hence, the perspective on Human Identity
But the person exists in both a social community and a natural world. Hence, the
importance of the perspectives on the
Social World and the Natural World.
Because the way in which we understand
ourselves derives largely from our Western
heritage, students need to learn about and
reflect on significant aspects of this heritage. Thus, the perspective on the Western
Heritage. At the same time, to focus on the
West alone would be ethnocentric. We live
in a global society. Hence the perspective
on Intercultural Awareness. Attention to
moral values is found not only in the perspective on the character and mission of
the College, the Christian Faith, but
throughout the other perspectives as well.
The perspective on Aesthetics enables students to focus on aesthetic works created
by themselves or others, which convey
fundamental insights, express beauty, and
enhance life.
Finally, the mission statement emphasizes that we are concerned with academic
excellence. This has a number of features,
including the way we teach all the courses
in general education. Beyond this, academic
excellence presupposes that students have
the requisite skills to do college-level
work. The general education requirements
are couched in a context that pays attention to the skills of both incoming and
graduating students. Entry level skill
requirements in a number of critical areas,
including writing, mathematics, and critical thinking, will be assessed and help will
be given to students who need it.
Graduation level skills are also emphasized
so that students not only maintain but
develop their skills during their Augsburg
experience.
Academic Information
The general education requirements
provide a coherent way to address the mission of Augsburg College. They are not the
only way, and do not they guarantee that
students who graduate from Augsburg possess the desired knowledge and character
traits. What they do is provide a coherent
description of the context in which we liberally educate students, a clear statement of
expected outcomes, and an opportunity for
students to see and understand the complexity of what it is to be human and
Christian in an urban setting.
THE EIGHT PERSPECTIVE
REQUIREMENTS
Perspective: The Character and Mission
of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith
This perspective focuses on Augsburg
as a college of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America. As a college of the
Church, Augsburg accepts as a basis for its
educational program the doctrines of the
Christian faith as revealed in scripture and
the creeds affirmed by the Lutheran
Church. It consciously affirms that all students should reflect upon the Christian
Scriptures, theological concepts, ethical
values, their own faith and values, and religious concepts outside of the Christian
faith as part of becoming educated.
Christian Faith (CF 1, 2, and 3)
Area 1 is biblical studies, Area 2 covers
Christian theology, and Area 3 includes the
study of values or religions outside the
Christian faith. Three course credits are
required to meet this perspective except for
the following:
Transfer students entering with 14-23
course credits will be required to take two
courses in the Christian Faith Perspective
while registered at Augsburg.
Transfer students entering with 24 or
more course credits will be required to take
one course in the Christian Faith
Perspective while registered at Augsburg.
Perspective: The Character and Mission
of Augsburg College: The City
This perspective focuses on the
College's location in the heart of a metropolitan area. From this perspective, students should gain an understanding of and
critically reflect upon the city with its
diverse populations, cultural, governmental
and economic institutions, and opportunities and challenges. In addition, students
should experience the community and
should explore opportunities for service in
the community.
This requirement must be covered
either by specific courses, by internship
and education experiences, or by designated
or college-approved non-credit experiences
(such as volunteer service or college programs). Experiences that satisfy the requirement must be accompanied by a GST 209
seminar related to the perspective.
The City (C)
One course credit or experience is
required to meet this perspective.
Perspective: Western Heritage
This perspective is intended to help
students critically examine themes (found,
for example, in literature, philosophy, and
the arts) and events that have historically
shaped Western civilization. Attention
should be paid to the contributions of and
to critiques of Western thought by women
and ethnic minorities.
3
74 Academic Information
Western Heritage (WH 1 and 2)
Two course credits from different
departments are required to meet this perspective. One course is required to meet
this perspective for transfer students entering with 14 or more course credits.
Perspective: Human Identity
This perspective is intended to help
students view themselves as people with
unique abilities, values, beliefs, experiences, and behaviors.
Human ldentity (HI)
One course credit is required to meet
this perspective.
Perspective: Aesthetics
Aesthetic creations convey fundamental
insights and values, express beauty, and
enhance life. This perspective focuses on
aesthetic qualities in artistic expressions by
oneself and others.
Aesthetics (A)
One course credit is required to meet
this perspective.
Perspective: The Social World
This perspective is intended to help
students learn to identify, examine, and critique social, economic, or political systems:
to understand how and why such systems
develop, to see the connections among
these systems, and to use this knowledge
as a participant in society.
Social World (SW 1 and 2)
One course must focus on current theories and methods of a social science. Two
course credits from different departments
are required to meet this perspective. One
course is required to meet this perspective
for transfer students entering with 14 or
more course credits.
Perspective: Intercultural Awareness
This perspective is intended to complement the Western Heritage Perspective by
expanding students' awareness of other
cultures. One course is required in which
students critically reflect upon ways their
own cultural biases operate when confronting other cultures. They should
become better able to communicate with
persons of other cultural backgrounds, partially by being introduced to a specific culture other than European or mainstream
North American cultures.
In addition, students are to gain entry
into another culture by learning to speak
and read a language other than their
native language. For this part of the
perspective, students are required to have
demonstrated proficiency in a modem
language, or American Sign Language
for hearing students.
The modem language requirement will
be determined by assessing previous experience and subsequent placement.
Intercultural Awareness (IA 1)
The study of a specific, non-Western
culture and how that culture has shaped
the world. One course credit is required to
meet this part of the Intercultural
Awareness Perspective.
Academic Information
Intercultural Awareness (IA 2 and 3)
Perspective: The Natural World
Study of a modem language other than
the native tongue. For a language previously studied, consult the table below for the
requirement. For a language not previously
studied, successful completion of 111, 112
is required. Students with previous language study should contact the modem
languages department if there are questions. There is a seven-year time limit on
courses presented for transfer and automatic
waiver. Students whose native language is
not English should contact the Academic
Advising Center.
This perspective is intended to help
students understand themselves in relation
to the physical world. Their active role as
observers, explorers, and moral agents will
be emphasized. Sufficient technical training
in scientific knowledge, concepts, and
methods will be provided to equip students
for critical and intelligent participation in
public debates on technical issues.
H.S.

Augsburg
Required
Placement
Courses
Natural World (NW 1 and 2)
Two course credits from different
departments are required to meet this
perspective unless an approved one-year
sequence is taken. One course is required
to meet this perspective for transfer
students entering with 14 or more
course credits.
EXPLANATION OF GRADES
Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests,
written papers, oral reports, and other
types of evaluation.

311
exempt
Students who are required to complete
two semesters of modem language must
complete the requirement with sequential
courses in the same language. Hearing students who have demonstrated competence
in American Sign Language by passing an
approved course sequence will have fulfilled IA 2 and IA 3 Perspectives.
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.
PassINo Credit
Students who choose the PIN 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.
5
76 Academic Information
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
graduation with distinction. Transfer
students should be especially aware of
this requirement.
See P/N limitations under Graduation
Requirements, page 68.
Certain courses have restrictions and
are offered on one grading system only
(e.g., lifetime sports are graded only PIN).
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. A fee is charged for
any changes after the first five days of
classes. All changes in grading option that
are made after initial registration require the
signature of an adviser or the instructor.
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
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 than one year).
An instructor reserves the discretion of not
giving an X where satisfactory progress is
not demonstrated. If the course is not
complete, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned.
Performance below basic course
standards
Unacceptable performance (no
credit for the course)
A course in which a grade of 0, 0.5,
1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be
repeated for credit. Courses in which higher
0.5
0.0
An incomplete grade (I) may be given
only in the case of extreme emergency. To
receive an incomplete grade, a student
must receive permission from the course
instructor, stating the reasons for the
request, the work required to complete the
course, the plan and date for completing
the work with comments from the instructor; and must file the form with the registrar's office. If permission is granted, the
necessary work must be completed in
enough time to allow evaluation of the
work by the instructor and filing of a grade
before the final day of the following semester. If the work is not completed by that
date, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0.
A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a notation on the record.
1.5
1.0
Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are
not computed in the grade point average.
Academic Information 77
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.
Classification
Auditing Courses
Courses earned from the International
Baccalaureate program will be considered
by the College for advanced placement and
appropriate credit. Departmental guidelines
are available at the registrar's office.
Students who wish to take courses
without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time students
may audit a course without charge. The
charge for part-time students is listed
under College Costs in the Financing Your
Education section on page 24. 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.
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 courses taken.*
"Courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned
Students are classified in August and at
the end of the fall and Interim terms.
Sophomores-7
courses completed.
Juniors-16 courses completed.
Seniors-24 courses completed.
International Baccalaureate Program (IB)
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 APL
program (Assessment of Previous
Learning) at Augsburg provides a means by
which a student's previous learning, other
than that which is transferred from another
accredited institution, may be presented for
examination for possible credit toward the
completion of a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life experience,
however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning
must meet two essential criteria: (1)it is
relevant to coursework in a field of study
within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum, and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation.
78 Academic Information
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:
Advanced Placement Program Test
(AP)-The Advanced Placement program
may allow students who have scores of 3,
4, or 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement
Test to receive college credit for selected
courses. A score of 4 or 5 is required on
the AP Language and Composition examination for credit for ENG 111 Effective
Writing. Additional credit or placement is
at the discretion of the department.
Inquiries should be addressed to the registrar's office.
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. (The regional testing center for
this area is the University of Minnesota.)
Students who score at or above the 65th
percentile on a subject examination may
receive academic credit for that subject at
Augsburg College. Additional information
about CLEP tests is available from the
registrar's office and the Academic
Advising Center.
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 instrument
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 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 registrar's office. 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
andlor 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 four courses/credits of academic work
at Augsburg College with a cumulative
Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly
recommended that the process not be used
-
Academic Information 79
when four or fewer courses remain for
graduation. There is a non-refundable
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 PIN credit
basis only.
Transcript credit will be granted on the
basis of semester credits, and the total
number of credits granted will be divided
by four to determine the number of course
credits applied to graduation. These credits
will be recorded with the course number of
APL 2xx. Application of this credit toward
the Liberal Arts Perspective requirements,
upper division requirements, and academic
majors and minors may be subsequently
addressed by the depaments involved in
response to a formal request by the student.
Maximum Credit Accepted for
Previous Learning-While Augsburg
College recognizes the validity of leaming
that takes place outside the traditional
classroom, this learning must be placed in
the context of formal study in campusbased liberal arts courses. Therefore,
Augsburg places a maximum of eight
courses (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is
obtained through previous experiential
learning. In compiling the eight courses of
credit for previous experiential learning, the
student may use any combination of the
four assessment processes available in the
APL Program: AP exams, CLEP exams,
departmental comprehensive exams, and
credit granted through portfolio assessment.
English as a Second Language (ESL)
Students who declare a language other
than English to be their primary language
or who are citizens of another country
must take the ESL placement test in conjunction with the English writing placement test at orientation. Students' placement in ESL, ENG 101 Developmental
Writing, or ENG 111 Effective Writing will
be determined by their scores on the
Michigan test (80-100 range for exemption
from ESL) and by a writing sample.
Near the end of each term of the
English as a Second Language 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 ESL coursework is required. Usually a score of 80 to
100 and a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will
fulfill the student's ESL requirement.
All students whose native language is
not English must stay enrolled in ENG
217/218 until such time that they pass the
ESL placement test at 80 percent or higher.
The ESL course can be counted only twice
in the total number of courses required for
graduation.
Students who fulfill the ESL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the modem language requirement for graduation.
- Academic Information
ACADEMIC PROGRESS,
PROBATION, A N D DISMISSAL
The College requires that students
maintain the following cumulative grade
point averages (GPA):
Freshman-A student who has taken
fewer than 7 courses with a cumulative
GPA of 1.6 or higher
Sophomore--A student who has
taken fewer than 16 courses with a cumulative GPA o m r higher
junior-A?t'u%nt
who has taken fewer
than 24 courses with a cumulative GPA of
$or
higher 2
0
Senior-A student who has taken 24
or more courses with a cumulative GPA of
2.0 or higher.
It should be noted that a minimum GPA
of 2.0 is required for graduation, with certain
majors requiring a higher minimum GPA.
Students whose academic achievement
falls below these guidelines will either be
placed on scholastic probation at the end of
the term or will be continued on probation
or will be dismissed from the College. In
addition, a freshman who receives two zero
grades or a sophomore, junior, or senior
who receives three zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However,
dismissal from the College is not automatic.
Each case is reviewed by the Committee on
Student Standing. Evidence of the student's
commitment to academic progress is the
major consideration in deciding whether or
not to dismiss a student. Students who have
a poor academic record may be smongly
advised to withdraw before the end of a
term. Those on probation who voluntarily
withdraw from the College, as well as those
who are dismissed, must have special permission to re-enroll.
Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches the
minimum levels stated above. Students
placed on probation as freshmen for having
earned two zero grades may be removed
from probation if their classification
changes to sophomore, if they have not
earned additional zero grades, and if their
cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Students
placed on probation as sophomores for
having earned three zero grades may be
removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative
GPA reaches 1.9.
The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the
guidelines stated above. Once a student is
dismissed, he or she may appeal the decision within 10 days to the Committee on
Student Standing.
Dean's List
The Dean's List, compiled after each
semester, lists students whose grade point
average for a semester is 3.5 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 incomplete~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 is given by the
student, an announcement is sent to the
hometown newspaper of each student on
the Dean's List.

Academic Information 81
Graduation with Distinction
Augsburg recognizes those students
who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement as graduates of distinction. This designation will begin with the
year 2000 commencement and will apply
to all students who complete degree
requirements after Jan. 1, 2000. Students
achieving Graduation with Distinction will
have an overall GPA of 3.5 and will have
completed an outstanding project as determined by the student's major department.
Students wishing to be considered for
Graduation with Distinction should consult with their major department no later
than the fall semester of their junior year.
Qualification for Commencement
Augsburg College has one commencement ceremony per academic year in the
month of May. Undergraduate students
who will not have met degree requirements
by the end of the spring term may qualify
to participate in commencement i t (1) no
more than three course creditslrequirements will remain in their program at the
end of the spring term, and (2) the remaining requirements will be completed in the
summer or fall terms following participation in commencement. Candidates for
graduation who will complete summer or
fall terms will be noted as such in the commencement program.
FOUR-YEAR ASSURANCE
PROGRAM
This program applies to students who

AND PROGRAMS
A.
a liberal arts institution, Augsburg
College believes that knowledge andtruthare 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.
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, classes are offered fall and/or
spring terms unless otherwise indicated.
The Schedule of Classes published each
spring by the Associated Colleges of the
Twin Cities (ACTC) lists offerings and
locations for fall and spring terms.
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 Interim ,
Summer Session, Weekend College, the
Master of Arts in Leadership, and the
Master of Social Work courses are published in separate catalogs.
Credits
A full course is offered for one course
credit. A few fractional courses, for onehalf or one-quarter course credit, are
offered in the Division of Professional
Studies. Unless noted, all courses are one
course credit. A full course has the approximate value of four semester credits or six
quarter hours. Most courses meet for three
60-minute periods or two 90-minute periods
per week with additional time required for
laboratory work.
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 freshmen, 200s for sophomores, 300s

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.
W INTERNSHIPS
Registration for internships consists of
the following steps:
1. Obtain the internship registration
permission form from the Center for
Service, Work, and Learning and secure the
signatures of the faculty supervisor and
2. Register for a 199 or 399 Internship
during the registration period. The signed
permission form must be turned in at the
time of registration. (Students may pre-register without a placement secured, but a
suitable internship must be found by the
end of the registration or drop/add period.)
3. A learning agreement (forms are
available in the Center for Service, Work,
and Learning) must be completed with
the faculty member responsible for grading the experience and the work supervisor. The original is turned in to the Center
for Service, Work, and Learning, with
copies made for the faculty, supervisor,
and student.
199
lnternship
A work or service-based learning experience at the sophomore level in which a student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the
ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. Participation in a concurrent seminar may be expected. Prior to the beginning
of the termlregistration, interested students must consult with the departmental
internship coordinator and the Center for Service, Work, and Learning regarding
requirements and permission to register.
399
lnternship
A work or service-based learning experience at the juniodsenior level in which a
student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links

A.
t is important as a field of study
for our time. Our survival as a culture may
very well depend on whether we are able
to create order and beauty in the design
and function of communities. Realizing
this, we have made design and sensitivity
to all aspects of visual experience central to
the art program at Augsburg.
Giving and receiving visual messages is
so much a part of everyday life that it is
often taken for granted. At the same time,
however, the interchange of visual ideas is
frequently misunderstood. The task of the
artist, art teacher, and art historian is to
celebrate visual experience through a variety of media and art examples. In short,
the visual arts teach us how to see.
Because of the College's commitment to
the liberal arts, the visual arts, as taught at
Augsburg, draw ideas and inspiration from
all disciplines. Art as a human activity does
involve manual skill, although to become
broadly significant it should interact with
the content available in other fields, such
as language, history, drama, music, literature, philosophy, theology, business, physical education, and science.
A liberal arts college like Augsburg is
an ideal setting for the study of art because
it provides a constant possibility for the
interaction of ideas, disciplines, and attitudes. At Augsburg, art study is further
enhanced by associations with a significant
number of art galleries and museums in
the Twin Cities area.

T
he Augsburg Experience: Arriving
at Augsburg ...
The initial months after entering college as a first-year student are an exciting
period of change. The faculty and staff
wish to assist students in making a successful transition to being college students
and to help them become part of this academic community. Through the summer orientation program, the fall orientation
weekend, and the Augsburg Seminar, students are introduced to the character of the
College, its heritage as an urban, liberal
arts college of the Church, the process of
learning in a community where ideas are
valued and treated seriously, and the logistics of being students.
Augsburg Seminar
At registration, all first-year students in
the day program enroll in a selected content course, such as Effective Writing and a
parallel Augsburg Seminar. These 'paired'
courses integrate disciplinary content with
AUC 101
various learning strategies and communitybuilding opportunities beneficial to all
beginning students.
The content course usually meets three
hours per week for the entire semester and
is valued at 1.0 course credit, and the
Augsburg Seminar meets once a week for
12 weeks for .25 course credit. The
Augsburg Seminar offers the opportunity
for further discussion of topics from the
paired content course, along with presentations on campus life, academic resources
and study skills, and a hands-on introduction to the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood.
While the content course is graded on a
traditional point basis, the Augsburg
Seminar is graded Pass/No credit (P/N).
However, performance in the course is
linked to performance in the seminar.
Students must successfully complete
the entire 12-week Augsburg Seminar in
order to fulfill the requirement, even if
they drop the paired content course.
Permission to complete the seminar after
withdrawal from the content course is at
the discretion of the instructor.
Augsburg Seminar (.25 course)
A series of fall-term meetings with an Augsburg seminar adviser to discuss
issues related to becoming an active member of the Augsburg College community of learners. Discussion will be based upon topics and readings from the
connected content course and other disciplines and sources. (P/N grading only)
B
iology is the study of life, and it's
natural that we, as contemplative living
creatures, seek a deeper understanding of
the living world that envelops us. This
search has led to the realization that the
Earth is filled with an enormous variety of
living organisms. Since humans are a part
of the biological world, an understanding
of the basic biological processes common
to all organisms is essential to attain selfunderstanding and to provide a basis for
wise decisions.

and at least one from each of the five
following groups:
Because a complete understanding of
biological systems depends on applications
of the principles of physics and chemistry,
a firm background in the physical sciences
is also important to support the student's
broad-based understanding of biology.

For many, an undergraduate major in
biology serves primarily as a basis for further study. Augsburg graduates have gone
on to further 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 industries, laboratory
research, natural resources, and environmental education.

department. Normally BIO 113 and 114
and Principles of Chemistry (or General
Chemistry) should be taken in the first
year, and Introductory Cellular Biology and
Organic Chemistry in the second year.
Students normally complete their math
requirements early in their college careers.
Students should consult members of
the biology faculty and the pre-medical
adviser in the Academic Advising Center
for information specific to medical
school application.
Graduate and Professional Training
Graduate programs in biological fields
require coursework similar to that for premedical education, and may also require
undergraduate research experience. Health
care professions (physician assistant, physical therapist, veterinarian, etc.) have specific requirements that should be discussed
with an adviser in the department and the
pre-medical adviser in the Academic
Advising Center.
Teaching Licensure Major
The State of Minnesota has specific
licensing requirements for teachers that may
differ in emphasis from the Augsburg major
requirements. The state requirements may
also be subject to change after publication
of this catalog. Students therefore should
consult with the Augsburg Department of
Education to identlfy current Minnesota
teacher licensure requirements.

T
he major in accounting prepares students for professional careers in a wide
variety of accounting-related positions.
This major has three tracks: general
accounting, professional accounting, and
managerial 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
during their last semester.

c
hemistry is the science of the
changes in matter, examining those
changes, and working toward an understanding of them. Correlating the results of
physics and opening the vistas of molecular biology, 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.
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.
The department is on the list of
approved schools of the American
Chemical Society (ACS) and offers a chemistry major that meets the chemistry background required by many fields.
Consonant with these ideas, the
Department of Chemistry has established
the following objectives to help its students
develop into mature scientists:
*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.
*To provide programs of study for professional goals in addition to the traditional
positions as chemists.
*To provide an atmosphere of learning
so that students will want to remain life-
long 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 seriously
study areas outside of 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.

T
he Augsburg Department of
Computer Science strives to give students
a sound theoretical and practical foundation in computer science. We offer both a
B.A. and a B.S. major. The computer science curriculum places eniphasis on networks, communications, and the use of
computers as an information access tool.
The coursework provides students a strong
base 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

A
major in East Asian studies is
offered through Augsburg and the other
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities
(ACTC). This is an inter-college, interdepartmental program that is available as a
result of the cooperation and cross-registration possibilities among Augsburg
College, Hamline University, Macalester
College, The College of St. Catherine, and
the University of St. Thomas. The program
pools the resources and expertise within
the five institutions. This major enables
students to acquire a broad knowledge of
Japan, China, and other East Asian
nations, and to gain a functional knowledge of the language of one country.
Career opportunities for those who
attain a liberal arts degree in East Asian
studies include government service, international business, journalism, language
instruction, Asian arts, and intercultural
communication. The major provides a
foundation for graduate work in various
fields such as anthropology, economics,
history, international relations, business,
law, political science, sociology, and theatre. This major is also recommended for
those interested in education and work
with social and recreational agencies.
East Asian Studies Faculty
Martha Johnson, Director
Major in East Asian Studies
Nine courses are required for the
major. Courses in the major must be
approved by the campus adviser and are
distributed as follows: four courses in an
East Asian language; four additional courses,
two of which must be upper division
(strongly recommended that one of these
be a history course on China or Japan);
and an East Asian studies seminar. A term
of study abroad and the completion of a
minor in another discipline are strongly
recommended.
Study abroad opportunities for the
semester or a year are available in Hong
Kong, Japan, Korea, and the People's
Republic of China. Study abroad strengthens the East Asian studies major by offering a cross-cultural experience in the
country of specialization.
Language Courses
Hamline University offers elementary
and intermediate courses in Chinese.
Macalester College and the University of
St. Thomas offer elementary and intermediate courses in Japanese. There is a contractual arrangement with the University
of Minnesota to take Chinese or Japanese
languages (without extra tuition charges);
see campus adviser. Non-majors may also
take the Chinese and Japanese language
courses.
-
East Asian Studies
Minor in East Asian Studies
Five courses, no more than two of
which may be in the language. A minor in
East Asian studies provides exposure to an
area of East Asia that would complement
other discivlines.
Note: Interim courses or new courses
related to the East Asian Studies Program
may be substituted when appropriate,
with the consent of the campus adviser.
Faculty advising is recommended at all
stages of the major to plan a coherent and
effective program.
Each campus has a member on the
ACTC East Asian studies committee who
can assist students. The current advisers
are: Augsburg-Martha Johnson, 330-1715;
Hamline-Richard Kagan, 641-2433;
Macalester-Yue-him Tam, 696-6262;
St. Catherine-Martha Hardesty, 690-6189;
St. Thomas-Robert Foy, 962-5603.

T
he 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.
Currently four majors are offered. The
economics major is designed primarily for
students who are planning graduate or
advanced professional studies. The applied
economics major generally leads to careers
in the business world or government.
Computational economics meets the challenge of the changing career opportunities
in the fields of economics and computer
science. Finally, the combined
economics/business administration major
is designed for those who want more flexibility in planning their program of study.
The study of economics provides a firm
foundation for confronting change because
it presents a disciplined way to analyze
and to make choices. Some reasons for
studying economics are: economics deals
with current problems, economics is a successful and prestigious social science, economics employs theoretical models and
the scientific method, an economics major
prepares students for community leadership, and an economics major leads to a
great diversity of career opportunities.
These include careers in business, law,
teaching, journalism, politics, banking and
Einance, service in government, educational administration, private and public international senrice, and industrial relations. A
degree in economics may prove to be a
valuable credential.
Students are also able to combine an
economics major with other disciplines
such as business administration, international relations, mathematics, computer
science, management information systems
(MIS), political science, history, and
Nordic area studies.
Transfer students majoring in the economics department must take at least four
upper division economics courses at
Augsburg, one of which must be ECO 312
or 313.
Internships are recommended. Students
must consult with the department chair
and the internship office before registering
for academic credit.

if this option continues.
Teacher licensure is available (prior to
August 1, 2000) in several minor fields
providing the student has a 2.5 GPA in that
field, has completed the methods course
for that field, and has student taught in the
field. Students may not student teach in a
minor only.
Students who entered the College
under a previous catalog and who will
complete their licensure after August 1,
2000, must complete the new state policies
for licensure.
(Also see natural science licensure

ugsburg College has cooperative
arrangements
with three 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; Washington University
School of Engineering and Applied
Science, St. Louis, Missouri; or Michigan
Technological University, Houghton,
Michigan. Because of the special requirements and opportunities of these programs, early consultation with the
Augsburg engineering adviser is necessary.
Applications for these programs require the
recommendation of the Augsburg engineering adviser.
University of Minnesota
The Institute of Technology and
Augsburg cooperative arrangement provides
for two dual degree engineering programs:
Bachelor of Art~IBachelorof
Engineering (B.A.1B.E.) enables students
to receive a bachelor of arts degree from
Augsburg College and a bachelor of engineering degree from the University of
Minnesota. The program typically involves
three years at Augsburg and two years at
the 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 ArtsIMaster of
Engineering (B.A.1M.E.) enables
students to receive a bachelor of arts
degree from Augsburg College and a
master of engineering degree from the
University of Minnesota. This program
involves four years at Augsburg and, typically, two years at the Institute of
Technology.
The cumculum is the same as the
B.A.B.E. cumculum 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 cumculum. The number of such
courses varies by IT department and area
of emphasis within a department.
Application for admission into the
B.A.M.E. program should be initiated during the second semester of the junior year
at Augsburg. Formal application for the
program may be completed during the
senior year. Those admitted will receive
special counseling from the Institute of
Technology staff regarding courses that
should be taken during the senior year at
Augsburg. Participants in the B.A.M.E.
program are not guaranteed admission to
the Institute of Technology.
Washington University
(Three-Year Plan)
Michigan Technological University
(Dual-Degree Plan)
These two programs enable students to
receive a bachelor of arts degree from
Augsburg and a bachelor of engineering
degree from Washington University School
of Engineering and Applied Science or
Michigan Technological University in a
five-year period.
The first three years are spent at
Augsburg followed by two years at the
affiliated university. Students accepted into
the program will be considered for admission to the engineering school if they com-
-
Engineering 1 3
plete 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
Washington University and Michigan
Technological University. Further information on these and other graduate programs
is available from the Augsburg engineering
adviser.
Financial Aid: Students receiving
financial aid who are participants in these
dual degree programs will be encouraged
to apply to the engineering school of their
choice for continuing support. Their applications will be evaluated using need and
academic performance as criteria.
Minimum course requirements for
admission to the dual-degree or three-two
programs:
CHM 115 General Chemistry
CHM 116 General Chemistry
CSC 170 Structured Programming
ENG 111 Effective Writing
PHY 121 General Physics I
PHY 122 General Physics 11
Four mathematics courses are required:
MAT 145 Calculus I
MAT 146 Calculus I1
MAT 245 Calculus 111
MAT 247 Modeling and Differential
Equations
Additional courses to meet general education requirements and a total of 27 courses
at Augsburg. Normally MAT 145, 146 and
PHY 121,122 are taken in the freshman
year. Students interested in chemical engineering also should take CHM 351,352.

hose 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.
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 as a
Second Language (ESL) students, tutoring
in the writing lab, or participating in the
Cooperative Education Program.
Students with an Augsburg English
major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism,
government, law, the ministry, library sci-
ence, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions and businesses.

H
istory 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 several fields,
and a wide range of employment opportunities that require abilities in communication, conceptualization, and processing
of information.

Nordic area studies is an interdisciplinary program drawing on the combined
resources of the ACTC schools and the
Nordic Center at Augsburg College. The
curriculum treats Norden (Denmark,
Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) not
only as a geographical area, but as an integrated cultural region with a shared history,
common values, and a high degree of political, social, and economic interdependency.
Courses in Nordic area studies postulate a
Nordic regional identity as a context in
which to appreciate the differences
between the five individual countries and
to understand the complexity of their
interactions among themselves and the
global community.

encouraged to consider foreign study for
an Interim or semester. Competency in one
language is required, and some students
study two languages.
The goal of the program is to give students a broad exposure to international
studies with considerable freedom to
choose options for specialization. Students
in the recent past have focused their studies on Latin America, the Middle East,
Western Europe, Russia and East Central
Europe, the Far East, Southeast Asia, etc.
Recent students have had double
majors in history, political science, international business or a foreign language.
Numerous combinations of majors and
minors are possible with the international
relations major.

nternational study at Augsburg aims to
increase intercultural competency and
reflects the College's strong commitment to
internationalism. Programs administered
by the Center for Global Education, by
International Partners, and by the Higher
Education Consortium for Urban Affairs
(HECUA) offer excellent opportunities for
rigorous academic work, greater understanding of cross-cultural issues, and
exploration of the benefits of global
citizenshiv.
Study abroad is an integral part of several majors at Augsburg, but will add an
international dimension to any academic
I
program. Students normally receive the
same number of course credits abroad as
they would if studying on campus.
Courses abroad can fulfill major, distributiodgeneral education, and graduation
requirements when approved by the
appropriate program directors and
faculty before departure.
Note: Only the fourth or higher term of
language counts toward the major; prerequisite courses or competencies cannot be
credited toward the 13 required courses.
Students should confer with the program
director about regional and disciplinary
concentrations possible within the major;
for example, a concentration in a geographic area or one of the major disciplines
in the program.
Students in good academic standing (a
minimum GPA of 2.5) at Augsburg may
apply for permission to study off campus
through the Center for Global Education
or through International Partners.
Applications are due December 15 for
study off campus for the next year. The
cost for many programs is equivalent to
full room, board, and tuition for on-campus study, plus airfare. Financial aid
is granted on the same basis as oncampus study.
THE CENTER FOR GLOBAL
EDUCATION
The Center for Global Education facilitates sound academic experiences that prepare people to think more critically about
global issues and to work toward a more
just and sus,tainable world. The center's
cross-cultural programs explore a diversity
of viewpoints and are grounded in the perspective of the poor and of others struggling for justice and human dignity.
International Studies 167
The center's study programs are conducted in Mexico, Central America, and
Namibia. Students experience three distinct types of living situations, which
include living with other participants in a
community house, spending several days
in a rural setting and several weeks living
with host families. They also travel together
on two-week seminars: from Mexico to
Central America, and Namibia to
South Africa.
International study programs administered by the Center for Global Education
and approved through Augsburg are
listed below. For information on these
programs, contact the academic programs
abroad office.
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS
The International Partners Program
combines rigorous academic work with
daily immersion in another culture. It
offers students an opportunity to study
abroad with outstanding faculty and to
gain practical experience overseas in their
major fields.
The program is founded on reciprocal
agreements with selected institutions of
higher learning in Europe and Japan.
Under these agreements International
Partner students from abroad receive part
of their academic training at Augsburg, and
qualified Augsburg students are guaranteed
admission to partner institutions, where
courses are pre-approved for credit toward
graduation requirements at Augsburg.
Study abroad through International
Partners emphasizes business, education,
and social work, but is not limited to these
fields. The study program may be for one
year, one semester, a one-month Interim,
or a summer session. Participation may be
on an individual basis or as part of a student group accompanied by Augsburg faculty. For further information, contact the
International Partners office.
THE HIGHER EDUCATION
CONSORTIUM FOR URBAN
AFFAIRS (HECUA)
Augsburg, in consortium with other
colleges and universities, offers programs
through HECUA in four different fullsemester programs in Norway, Colombia,
and Ecuador. All programs emphasize the
impact of social change and cross-cultural
factors on the human community. HECUA
programs include intense language experience and field study. The cost is equivalent
to full tuition, room, and board for one
semester on campus, plus airfare.
For non-international HECUA courses,

athematics is the study of structure and relationships, providing tools for
solving a wide variety of problems.
Mathematical language describes our world
from the perspectives of the natural, physical, and social sciences. Engaging in mathematical thought processes helps strengthen
the problem solving and quantitative reasoning skills that are increasingly expected
of every member of contemporary society.
Moreover, as mathematics has had a formative impact on the development of civilization, it is an important part of a liberal arts
education. Students majoring in many disciplines that involve structure or relationships find it helpful to acquire a minor or a
second major in mathematics.

Mathematics is also a discipline in its
own right. Students majoring in mathematics acquire the skills necessary to serve
society through a variety of careers. In addition to acquiring computational and problem solving skills, mathematics majors at
Augsburg develop their abilities to reason
abstractly, to conjecture critique and justify
their assertions, to formulate questions, to
investigate open-ended problems, to read
and comprehend precise mathematical writings, to speak and write about mathematical ideas, and to experience working in
teams on mathematical projects. These students can prepare for graduate school, for
work in industry or service professions, or
for teaching mathematics in grades 7-12.
Teaching Licensure Major
The department's programs support work
toward those goals. Students may choose
either a standard mathematics major, a
mathematics major with concenaation in
applied mathematics, or a mathematics
major toward secondary education licensure.
Augsburg's urban location allows students to
gain experience working with mathematics
through internships, cooperative education,
and the practicum and colloquium courses.

Four of these events will be made up of
major ensemble concerts, senior student
recitals, faculty recitals, or designated campus music events. Four events should be
professional, off-campus concerts that have
the prior approval of the student's major
instrument/voice instructor. Off-campus
concerts will require that a program and a
one-sheet review be submitted to the
instructor. Music minors are required to
attend four events (on or off campus) that
meet the approval of their private instructor.

I I he Augsburg Department of Nursing
is designed exclusively for registered nurses
who want to increase their opportunities in
the health care field.
The scope of nursing practice is changing and expanding. Nurses are being called
on to function in a variety of settings that
differ from those in the past. Today nurses
work in hospitals, clinics, corporations,
government agencies, schools, and community organizations, or in their own practices. Wherever they practice, nurses provide comprehensive health care through
the entire life span for people of all cultures and socioeconomic levels.
The bachelor's degree equips nurses
with a working knowledge of the biological, physical, social, behavioral, and nursing sciences. The nursing program at
Augsburg also provides educational opportunities to increase their skills in critical
thinking, clinical investigation, and decision-making that prepares them to handle
challenging new positions in today's health
care field.
Augsburg's nursing program, leading to
a bachelor of science degree with a major
in nursing, is accredited by the National
League for Nursing. Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for public health
nurse registration in Minnesota. With two
additional courses, they are eligible to
apply for school nurse certification.

T
he Department of Philosophy assists
students to understand issues raised in the
traditional areas of philosophy. We consider questions about what knowledge is and
how we know about the nature of reality,
about the basis for making moral judgments, and about the rules for correct reasoning. Our goals are to instill in students
a love of truth, to inspire a curiosity about
the significance and meaning of the world
they experience, and to develop the skills
of critical analysis and creative synthesis.
The department places a special emphasis on the history of philosophy, offering
four courses covering the period from the
ancient Greeks to the end of the 20th century. In these courses students are taught
how to read, understand, and criticize
great texts of Western civilization and to
see how ideas have developed and matured
through the centuries. The department also
offers courses where philosophy and its
methods and ideas are applied to other disciplines such as religion, science, and the
arts.
The major has been carefully planned
so that students can easily graduate with a
major in philosophy and one in another
discipline. Though some students continue
on to graduate school in philosophy, most
use the major to prepare for other professional studies such as law, medicine, or the
Christian ministry. Philosophy majors generally perform better than others on graduate entrance examinations in medicine and
law. Others enter the work place confident
that the study of philosophy has given
them the ability to think critically.

T
he Augsburg Physician Assistant
Program is designed for students interested
in careers as health care providers.
The physician assistant concept originated during the mid-1960s. Physicians
and educators recognized that there was a
shortage and uneven distribution of primary
care physicians. To combat these problems,
the Physician Assistant Program was developed. All PAs must, by law or regulation,
have a supervising physician. An important
element of the physician assistant education is the emphasis on patient education.
The Augsburg Physician Assistant
Program is a 27-month program of study
for students with at least 64 semester
hours of college credit. A new class of 28
students begins each May. Students who
intend to enter the Physician Assistant
Program must apply by December of the
previous year. The program is very competitive and not all students who apply are
accepted. Physician assistant students who
have not previously obtained a baccalaureate degree will earn a bachelor of arts in
physician assistant studies upon successful
completion of the program.
The Augsburg Physician Assistant
Program is currently accreditated from
CAAHEP (Commission on Accreditation of
Allied Health Education Programs).
In order for someone to practice as a
physician assistant, one must graduate from
an accredited PA program and pass the PA
National Certification Examination. Practice
regulations differ from state to state.
The mission of the Augsburg College
Physician Assistant Program is to educate
students in a manner consistent with the
College's mission. It is based on a foundation of respect and sensitivity to persons of
all cultures and backgrounds and oriented
toward providing care to undersewed
populations. Students are well educated in
current medical theory and practice, and
graduates are encouraged to work in primary care settings. The program promotes
dedication to excellence in performance,
with the highest standards of ethics and
integrity, and commitment to lifelong personal and professional development.

P
hysicists are a curious and ambitious
lot. Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles that describe and govern
all physical aspects of the universe.
Historically called "natural philosophers,"
physicists investigate by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical
analysis. Physics includes the study of systems ranging from sub-atomic particles to
the largest galaxies and from the relative
stillness of near absolute zero to the fiery
activity of stars. Physics plays an important
role in many of the liberal arts disciplines
and contributes to society's understanding
of such areas as energy, weatker, medical
science, and space exploration.
Recognizing the importance of physics
in contemporary life and the need to keep
abreast of rapid technological advances,
the department strives to give students not
only an understanding of basic concepts,
but also insights into recent developments.
A rigorous major provides students with
the preparation required for graduate study
in physics. It also provides flexibility, serving as a stepping stone to advanced work
in related areas such as astronomy, engineering, computer science, atmospheric
science and meteorology, oceanography,
biophysics, environmental science, and the
medical and health-related fields. The
department serves the liberal arts by offering courses for non-science students that
enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science.
These courses provide the basis for
further study and enable students to

F
irmly grounded in the liberal arts tradition, political science has roots in the
humanities, including philosophy and history. Through its use of statistical analysis,
it relates not only to other behavioral sciences, but also to mathematics and the sciences generally The role and significance
of authority in human affairs establish the
focus of political science; because politics
is a central and enduring reality in the
world, it affects and is affected by many
other human concerns.
As an academic discipline, political science uses systematic inquiry and analysis
to examine political reality and to suggest
and test alternatives. The student who
majors in political science will explore
political ideas and values, investigate political cooperation and conflict, analyze and
compare political systems, and develop
perspectives on international relations. In
the process, the student will be encouraged
to relate insights from other liberal arts
disciplines such as philosophy, psychology,
economics, history, and sociology to the
study of politics.
Providing work in several sub-fields of
political science, the major supplies the
breadth appropriate for graduate work in
the discipline, as well as in public administration, public policy analysis, law, and
other professions. It also serves as a foundation on which to develop careers in public service, business, communications, and
other fields. Legislative and other intemships, as well as significant independent
research projects, are within easy reach of
Augsburg political science students in the
Twin Cities area. Combined with broad,
balanced, and flexible course offerings,
these special opportunities enhance the
student's potential for graduate study and a
successful career.
Augsburg political science students
have the benefit of an experienced faculty
that offers courses in all major areas of
political science, and also possesses special
expertise in the areas of campaigns and
elections, comparative and international
politics, mass communication and other
information technology, racial and ethnic
politics, and American public law.

P
sychology is an exploration of
behavior and mental processes. As an integral part of a liberal arts education, psychology contributes to the understanding
of individual and group behavior.
Psychology's scientific method also equips
students to understand and use scientific
research and to make more informed judgments about claims in the popular media.
To prepare students for graduate study
and work in psychology, the major emphasizes the complementary components of a
strong foundation in research and theoretical work with application of knowledge and
skills in coursework, research experience,
and internships within the community The
curriculum's emphasis on problem-solving
skills and current information about human
development and interaction is also relevant to careers in many related setting*
business, education, social services,
research, law, government, church,
and medicine.
Faculty members in the Department of
Psychology have varied professional spec i a l i z a t i o ~ l i n i c a lcounseling,
,
physiological, developmental, social, cognitive,
environmental, and industriallorganizational psychology-as well as expertise in
psychological applications to health, law,
and public policy. Students may tap this
expertise through a variety of learning
experiences-within and outside the classroom, with group and individual projects,
and through association with Augsburg's

R
eligion asks fundamental questions
of life and meaning: Who are we as human
beings? Where did we come from? Where
did the world come from? What do good
and evil mean in this time and
place? Students will wrestle with these
questions and with responses from the
Christian traditions and from the perspectives of the other major world religions.
Through this study of religion, students
will learn to understand, appreciate, and
articulate the Christian faith, as based in
the Bible, as lived in the Christian fellowship, as embodied in the Christian Church
and its history, and as interactive in the
contemporary world and with other world
religions. Students will also develop the
ability to read and interpret the Bible,
other religious texts, and various expressions and practices of faith, so that their
meaning for human life in relation to God
becomes evident. In addition students will
develop skills for becoming leaders in the
religious communities to which they
belong and for living as responsible citizens with others whose religious views and
practices differ from their own.
A religion major encourages students to
seek their future in the world andlor
church through a sense of vocation, serving as pastors, associates in minisq, nurses,
youth and family ministry lay professionals
in congregations, and as social service and
human resource professionals in a wide
variety of settings.

REL 356 History of Religions
REL 481 Contemporary Theology
REL 495 Seminar
Three additional religion courses, of which
two must be upper division courses.
Note: Seminar, especially for majors,
should be taken in the junior or senior year.
Before taking the seminar, each major must
have written one formal research paper and
placed it on file with the department chair.
Only one Interim course may be applied to
the major. One New Testament Greek
course may be applied to the major.
Honors Major
GPA of 3.5 in the major and 3.0 overall,
research project approved by the department, and colloquium with the department. Application must be received by the
department by Dec. 30 of the student's
senior year.
Minor
Five religion courses. Not more than
one Interim course may be counted for the
minor.
Note: Not all courses that meet
Christian Faith Perspectives are REL courses and do not count toward the religion
major or minor.
Youth and Family Ministry Major
The major in youth and family ministry
prepares persons for faithful work as youth
and family ministers in Christian congregations and other ministry settings. This
238 Religion
major is interdisciplinary, combining a core
study of theology and Bible with supporting coursework in the social sciences. A
distinctive part of the major is the combination of practical and theological training,
using resources of the Youth and Family
Institute of Augsburg College. Students are
accepted into the program through a twostep candidacy process.
This major requires an approximately
100-hour internship administered by the
Youth and Family Institute in partnership
with a congregation. It may be possible for
the intern to receive a stipend for this
internship.
The candidacy process begins with
application, normally in the fall of the
student's sophomore or junior year. Two
of the theology core courses must be completed before making application to the
program. An essay, one letter of reference,
an assessment instrument called "Self
Portrait," and an interview are required for
candidacy review. The teaching staff will
conduct step one. The second step will be
conducted by the Youth and Family
Institute staff with help from experienced
pastors, a member of the religion faculty,
and youth and family ministers. This usually follows the internship in the fall of the
senior year. Retaking the "Self Portrait," an
essay, an assessment of the internship, and
an interview are required. This step is very
important for recommending the students
for employment.

Teaching Licensure Major
The State of Minnesota has specific
licensing requirements for teachers that
may differ slightly in emphasis from the
Augsburg major requirements. The state
requirements may also be subject to
change after publication of this catalog.
Students therefore should consult with the
Augsburg Department of Education to
identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements.
T
he social work major prepares graduates for entry-level generalist, professional
practice in the field of social work. The
program is accredited by the Council on
Social Work Education and leads to a
bachelor of science degree. The program is
based on a generalist model of practice,
enabling graduates to work with individuals,
families, groups, and communities and
to develop and analyze social policy.
Courses within the program utilize a
student empowerment model for teaching
and learning.
Augsburg's social work major provides
a strong foundation for graduate studies in
a variety of fields. Since 1991 Augsburg has
offered a full-time master of social work
degree on a weekend schedule.
The College's commitment to the liberal
arts is highly compatible with education
for professional social work practice. The
liberal arts foundation, with its emphasis
on breadth of understanding, cultural and
ethnic diversity, openness to new ideas,
and analysis and synthesis, is ideal for
social work education.
Augsburg College's motto, "Education
for Service," exemplifies the philosophy of
the Department of Social Work. Unique
learning opportunities for field work placement and cultural enrichment are provided
by a metropolitan setting known for a
humane quality of life that is enhanced by
the arts, outstanding human services, and a
highly-educated populace. The Twin Cities,
as the hub for these services, provides both
a variety of field placements for social
work students and external experts for the
classroom. The ethnic and economic diversity present in this metropolitan area provides opportunities for social work students to learn to understand, appreciate,
respect, and work with people different
from themselves and to be enriched by this
opportunity to interact with diverse clients
and professionals.
The social welfare minor and electives
in the department allow students from
other majors to gain knowledge about
human needs and growth, human s e ~ c e s ,
and the methods of effective citizenship.
Students taking these courses have the
opportunity to learn about public issues
and develop and nurture a perspective that
sees the central importance of diversity to
the social fabric of this country Using this
knowledge, students are encouraged to use
their talents and skills to address the needs
of society in the interest of the public
good, always emphasizing social justice.

s
ociology is the study of society as a
whole and of human social organization in
groups. The sociological perspective provides a way to better understand the social
world and how human beings come to
think and act as they do.
The goal of the department is to guide
students in gaining knowledge of the social
order, how it affects them in their daily
lives, and how it can be applied to their
vocation. Sociology majors develop an
understanding of the theories of society
and social groups, learn to create and use
scientific tools of analysis, and practice the
application of sociological concepts to the
solution of social problems.
Students are encouraged to select as
electives some of the non-traditional learning models available, such as internships,
independent study, Interim courses, and
field studies. The department urges students to use Augsburg's metropolitan setting as a laboratory for learning.
Internships and cooperative education
enable majors to apply the theories and
research skills of sociology while they
explore career alternatives. Augsburg alumni who have majored in sociology are currently employed in the human resources
departments of both government and private corporations, in the criminal justice
field, and as professors of sociology. Others
have used their majors as preparation for
advanced study in areas such as l a y the
ministry, social work, urban planning, and
human services.

ur quality
. of life, both personally
and professionally, depends in large part
upon the quality
. of our communication. A
communication major at Augsburg is
designed to enhance understanding of
communication in a variety of contexts
and to improve communication skills.
Since communication careers demand a
broad educational background, the department strongly encourages a second major
or two minors in fields such as business,
economics, English, history, international
relations, political science, psychology, religion, social work, sociology, or theatre arts.
The Augsburg communication major
focuses on competency in both speech and
writing, as well as effective use of media.
Since the study and practice of communication is grounded in both the humanities
and the social sciences, majors are encouraged to include such related subjects as
aesthetics, ethics, philosophy, logic, literature, statistics, and research methods in
their programs.
Prospective majors should meet with a
departmental adviser as early as possible to
design an approved major Program, preferably by the end of the sophomore year.

T
he study of theatre is firmly grounded
in the liberal arts, integrating knowledege
and principles from many academic and
artistic disciplines, including speechkommunication, art, music, history English,
literature, business, philosophy, and religion. Both the curriculum and dramatic
productions by the Theatre Arts Program
offer valuable cross-disciplinary connections for the campus while also providing
a solid base in classical, modern, contemporary, and multicultural theatre.
Augsburg's location in the heart of a
major theatre center makes it an ideal
place to study theatre. At Augsburg we
seek to create every opportunity for students to grow both as theatre artists and
scholars, by encouraging connections
between our campus and the greater arts
community while also exploring connections between theory and application.
Student opportunity to make these connections includes course study, theatrical production work, participation in the Artist
Series (an annual series of events featuring
visiting theatre professionals from the Twin
Cities community who work closely with
students,) and attendance at numerous
professional productions in the Twin
Cities. Augsburg theatre productions are
treated as unique learning laboratories
where students can enter into creative collaboration with faculty and professional
artists-in-residence.
In addition to learning skills specific to
theatre, students in theatre arts learn valuable skills applicable to other professions:
collaboration, verbal and non-verbal communication, organization, critical thinking,
leadership, creativity, and self-expression.
Involvement in theatre arts can help prepare students for such careers as law, edu-
cation, business, communication, and journalism, as well as prepare theatre students
for careers in professional or academic theatre, television, and film. In order to prepare the student for graduate school or the
workplace, the department strongly
encourages a second major or minor in
such fields as speech/communication, art,
English, education, music, or religion.

Introduction to Augsburg Weekend College
Purpose
Augsburg Weekend College provides an educatio~lalalternative to adults
who desire college experience but who work or have other commitments
during the week. I t is a means by which men and women may earn a
bachelor's degree, gain skills for professio~laladvancement, prepare for
career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the
liberal arts.
The Augsburg Weekend College program is designed to meet the needs
and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the assumption that the lnen and women who enroll in Weekend College will be
mature, self-disciplined and well-motivated adult learners who seek a
balance of classroo~nexperience and individualized study. Each course is
therefore divided into periods of concentrated on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation.
AlternateWeekends
T o accommodate this format for learning, classes meet o n alternate
weekends for three and a half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday
morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon.* Each class selected
by the student illvolves comlnitmellt t o one of these four class periods.
Weekend College students may take from one to four different courses
by attending class every other weekend.
Community of Learners

Essential to the goals of Augsburg Weekend College is participation in a
community of adult learners. Learning can be ellhanced when the
t y provides opportunity and

encouragement to become involved in interaction both in and out of the
classroom. This comm~ulitywill be enriched by the presence of both
Inen and wolnen with a varietv of work and life experiences.

T o facilitate this kind of comrnu~lityinteraction, Augsburg encourages
Weekend College students to make use of college facilities such as the

English
Those who study English believe that an intense concern for words,
ideas and images helps us understa~idwho we are and who we can
become. Writing helps us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature
helps us conte~nplatethe pains and joys of human existence. Through
English study we see life's complexity, experience life as some others do,
and understand better the world in which we live and work.
English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is
concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with
the conte~nplationof works of art. With psychology and sociology,
English is concer~ledwith individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is interested in ideas and the relation between meaning and
language. With science, English is interested in discovering order and
deternlining structures. With speech and comm~~nications,
English
studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social
sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and
thought at different times and in different cultures.
Major: Nine courses above 111, including 225; one course in American
literature; one course in Western literary tradition (271 or 272); and
three courses in British literature, one o n literature before 1660 (for
example, 331 or 438) and one that surveys a n u ~ n b e rofwriters (336,
337, 423). Majors are encouraged t o take ENG 245 early in their
college work and to co~lsulttheir departmental adviser regularly. A
student with a double major or special program that involves considerable work in the English department should also work closely with an
adviser in the department.
Note on Prerequisites: ENG 1 11 is strongly reconl~nendedbut not a
prerequisite for a Lower Division literature course. Prerequisite for an
Upper Division course is successh~lcompletion of a Lower Division
literature course or consent of the instructor.
Note: Transfer students must take at least three of their English
courses at Augsburg.
English-Language Arts Teaching Major: Ten courses, including those
listed under the major, a course in the English language, and an internship in the teaching of writing. One course must include a component
in non-Western literature. In addition, the ACTC courses Communications Skills in the English Classroo~nand Teaching Mass Media are

order t o meet the professional require~nentswithin the Education Department as well as requirements in the major.
Students in this program who are transferring fro111other colleges should
consult the English Department chair soon after enrolling.

Psychology
Psychology, with its emphasis on behavioral observatio~land data,
provides a perspective on human activities which is an integral part of
liberal education. The goal of the Psychology program is the improved
understanding of human behavior by studying how people cope with
their environment and interact with each other.
Psychologists use a variety of methods to study behavior, i~lcluding
experimentation, observation and clinical case analysis. Faculty members
in the Department of Psychology at Augsburg have varied professional
specializations which include areas such as counseling, pl~ysiological
psychology, 11uman development, personality and computer applications.
All psycl~ologymajors MUST have an adviser in the Psychology Department. The following courses in the Psycl~ologycore will be offered
when a sufficient number of students are ready for that portion of their
program: PSY 264,265, 381,493. This may delay an individual
student's ablility to complete the major in the Weekend schedule.

Religion
Augsburg College understands itself as a college of the church and it is
persuaded that the Christian faith provides an appropriate perspective
from which to undertake its educational task. The biblical faith and
tradition of the Christian Church have influenced the Western world to a
degree much greater than is sometimes recognized.
The student encounters this influence in studying language, literature,
history, values and political structures. The study of religion and
theology is intended to make such encounters more meaningful through
a better knowledge of biblical history and that of the Christian Church,
and by a larger acquaintance with tl~eologicalthougl~t. Large segments
of the earth's population live by religious concepts and ideas which are
different from those prominent in the West. The Depart~nentof Religion also seeks to introduce students to some of these major religious
traditions.

Science in Social Work degree program at Augsburg College is built on a
solid liberal arts foundation, on theory-based training, and on professionally directed field experiences. As important, social work education
at Augsburg is built on an appreciatio~lfor the needs, concerns, and
values of the i~ldividualsand groups who constitute today's multicultural society. The Social Work major in Augsburg Weekend College

t o academic progress is the major consideration
in deciding whether or not t o dismiss a student. Students who have a
poor academic record may be strongly advised t o withdraw before the
end of a term. Those on probation who voluntarily withdraw from the
College, as well as those who are dismissed, must have special permission
t o re-enroll.
Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA
reaches the minimum levels stated above. St~tdentsplaced on probation
as freshmen for having earned two zero grades may be removed from
probation if their classification changes t o sophomore, if they have not
earned additional zero grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 1.7.
Students placed on probation as sophomores for having earned three
zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification
changes to junior and their cumulative GPA reaches 1.9.
The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet
the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he or she may
appeal the decision within 10 days t o the Conlmittee on Student
Standing.
Attendance Policy
It is expected that students attend every class. If a student knows she/he
will miss more than one class meeting, she/he should not register for
the course. Some faculty/courses require 100 percent attendance for a
student to earn a passing grade.
Most Weekend College classes meet seven times during a trimester plus
Finals Class Weekend. Some courses meet for the entire period on Finals
Class Weekend. Classes marked with an asterisk ( * ) on the Class Schedule require additional class meetings, the dates and times of which are
either listed on the course syllabus or determined by the class at the first
meeting. Depending on the course, these additional meetings are either
required or optional.
Department Course Limits
Augsburg College's graduation requirements allow a maximum of 1 3
courses from each department except in certain approved majors (Social
Work, Nursing). Business Administration, Economics and Management
Information Systems are considered different departments for graduation
requirement purposes.
Grading Procedures
Evaluation and Grading
Student achievement in courses is measured primarily by final examina
tions. Shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of
evaluation are also used.
Most courses are offered with grading options - traditional grading on a
4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system, in which P means a grade
of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0.
Students are cautioned to use the P/N grade option with care since some
graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large
number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a "C". Transfer students are
cautioned that P-graded courses do not count in the requirement that 14
traditionally graded courses be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation with distinction. See P/N limitations under
Graduation Requirements in the Augsburg College general catalog.
Certain courses are offered on one grading system only. Sociology 265 is
graded only on the P/N grading system and some education courses are
graded only on the P/N system or only on the traditional system.
English 111 is graded P or N, or 2.0-4.O/N. Some other courses are
graded only P, 1.O, N. Lifetime Sports are graded P/O.O.
In courses where this 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 gkading system
must be made according to the dates published each term. A fee is
charged for any changes made after registration.
Explanation of Grades
Number 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).
Grade of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point
average. A grade of P represents work at or above the 2.0 level; N
represents work at the 1.5 or below level.
An incomplete grade may be given only in the case of an extreme
emergency. To receive it, a student must file an Application for Incomplete form with the Committee on Student Standing stating the reasons
for the request, the plan and date for removing it, and comments from
the instructor. If permission is granted, the incomplete must be removed
during the following semester, or it becomes the grade submitted by the
teacher along with the incomplete.
Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes
last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed
by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first
term of registration. A grade of X 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 than one year). An instructor reserves the
discretion of not giving an X where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. Withdrawal from college, or dropping these continued courses
will terminate their registration. Under this circumstance, a registration
as 1X by the student would be necessary if done during registration
periods within one year of initial registration; if done after one year a new
registration would be necessary.
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by
registering for Audit (V). The charge for auditing a course is listed
under Fees and Payment Schedule. Students who audit a course should
confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term
to determine expectations, attendance and any other requirement. If
expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as
having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will
be listed a grade of W (Withdrawn).
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.
Classification
Students are classified in August and at the end of fall and winter terms as
follows:
Sophomores - 7 courses completed with at least 14 grade points.
Juniors - 16 courses completed with at least 32 grade points.
Seniors - 25 courses completed with at least 50 grade points.
Withdrawal from College
Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered,
since this results in a failing grade on the official record. Cancellation of
courses or withdrawal from college must be done in the Registrar's
Office. Withdrawal from college cannot occur during final examination
weekend unless a petition is approved by the Student Standing Committee.
Withdrawal from college and resulting adjustments in accounts are effective
as of the date the completed Withdrawal From College form is returned to
the Registrar's Office.
Graduation with Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined as follows:
Summa cum laude - 3.8 to 4.0 cumulative GPA
Magna cum laude - 3.6 up to but not including 3.8 cumulative GPA
Cum laude - 3.3 up to but not including 3.6 cumulative GPA
T o qualify for graduation with distinction, transfer students must have
completed two years (14 traditionally graded courses) of work at Augsburg.
Assessment of Previous Learning (APL)
Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in
many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit
recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic programs
of a liberal arts college. The APL program (Assessment of Previous
Learning) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous
learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited
institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward
the completion of a 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:
CLEP (College Level Examination Program)
Students who achieve acceptable scores in CLEP exams may receive
academic credit in August College. CLEP exams are available in a variety
of general and specific subject areas. For more information, contact
Weekend College Admissions (330.1792) or the regional CLEP center
at the University of Minnesota (624-3323).
Departmental Assessment
Students who wish to receive credit for a specific academic course and d o
not have transcript evidence of completed work may request a departmental assessment of previous learning. This will most often include an
examination that covers the essential components of the course involved.
For more information, contact the Registrar's Ofice (330.1036).
CAI? (Credit Assessment Process)
This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty committee
completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the
student. Informal meetings and consultation are provided for students
who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment. Students may apply for CAP after completing at least four courses
of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative GPA of at least
2.5. For more information, contact the Registrar's Office (330-1036).

I
I
Augsburg College was founded in 1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin, and
moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The name Augsburg College and
Seminary changed in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged
with The American Lutheran Church.
Location
Augsburg's 23-acre campus is in the heart of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, only blocks from downtown Minneapolis and the
intersection of Interstate Highways 9 4 and 35W. Adjacent to the
campus are the Riverside Medical Center, the West Bank campus of
the University of Minnesota and the Mississippi River parkways.
Campus
Skyways, tunnels and elevators provide accessible connection between
1 0 of the 1 5 major buildings - student housing towers, College
Center, main academic and administrative halls, the Library, Music
Hall and Foss Center for Worship, Drama and Communication.
Accessibility
We have made a major effort to become one of the most accessible
campuses in the region. Our skyway-tunnel system lets you reach any
of 10 major buildings without going outside. In addition to building
changes, we have a program to increase awareness and
provide extra help for students with disabilities.
Church Affiliation
Augsburg is a college of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. About 51 percent of the students are Lutheran, 1 5 percent other
Protestant and 1 5 percent Roman Catholic. Several other affiliations
are represented among students and faculty.

Introduction to Augsburg Weekend College
Purpose
Augsb~~rg
Weekend College provides an educational alternative to adults
who desire college experience but who worlc or have other commitments
during the week. It is a means by which Inen and women may earn a
bachelor's degree, gain slulls for professio~laladvancement, prepare for career
change, or pursue a persolla1 interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts.
The Adult as a Student
The Augsburg Weelce~ldCollege program is designed to meet the needs
and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the assumpill be
tion that the Inen and women who enroll in Weekend College w
mature, self-dsciplined and well-motivated adult learners who seek a
balance of classroom experience and i~ldividualizedstudy. Each course is
therefore divided into periods of co~lce~ltrated
on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation.
Alternate Weekends
T o accommodate this format for learning, classes meet on alternate
weelce~ldsfor three and a half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday
morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon.* Each class selected
by the student involves commitme~ltto one of these four class periods.
Weeltend College students may talce from one to four different courses
by attendng class every other weekend.
Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of A ~ ~ g s b uWeelce~ld
rg
College is participation in a
com~nu~lity
of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the
student is involved in a stable community that provides opportu~ityand
e~lcourageme~lt
to become i~lvolvedin i~lteractio~l
both in and out of the
classroom. This community d l be enriched by the presence of both
men and women with a variety ofwork and life experiences.
T o facilitate this kind of commiulity interaction, Ailgsburg encourages
Weelrend College students to make use of college facilities such as the
library and Christensen Center, to talce the opportunity of having shared
meals and coffee brealcs, to participate in optional lu~lchtime seminars,
and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events.
*Laboratovy sections or additional class hours may be scheduled duY-in~the week.
Characteristics of the Educational Program
Educational Mission

than seven Augsburg course equivalents) entering in 1991-'92 and
Freshman and Sophomore students (transferring less than 15 Augsburg
course eq~livalents)entering in 1992-'93 will complete the following
skills and liberal arts perspectives along with their approved major
program.
The Augsburg Curriculum
Rationale for the Augsburg Curriculum Components:
The Augsburg faculty has designed a cohesive academic program
incorporating general education, major courses, supporting courses and
elective courses leading to the bachelor's degree. The core of the
Augsburg curriculum is found in the liberal arts as expressed in the
General Education component of the curriculum.
Augsburg, in its Mission Statement, declares the College exists "To
develop future leaders of service to the world by providing high quality
educational opportunities which are based in the liberal arts and shaped
by the faith and values of the Christian church, by the context of a vital
metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community." One way which the College seeks consciously to realize this
Mission is through its General Education curriculum, which Augsburg
has divided under two headings: liberal arts perspectives and skills.
The term "perspective" assumes that not only are we engaged in the
search for truth, but that this requires the searcher to consider questions
from a variety of viewpoints, each of which has something valuable to
contribute to the whole. These perspectives are not strictly identified
with traditional disciplines, but are understood in ways which encourage
multi-disciplinary reflections on the questions at issue. They combine
concerns about content with those of process and approach, directed
ultimately to making the student a more effective learner and participant
in society.
The following requirements reflect the way in which Augsburg has
chosen to view the liberal arts. Two of the four features of the Mission
Statement are embodied in the General Education Perspectives: "The
Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith and the
City." These Perspectives emphasize that the College's affiliation with
the L~ttheranChurch, its insistence on the value of knowing the approach which derives from the Christian roots of the College, and its
location in the city, deserve special consideration in Augsburg's educational
program.
The third feature - that Augsburg is a liberal arts institution -is
embodied in the other General Education Perspectives. Certain dimensions of human life - of what it is to be human - form the core of the
required liberal arts experience. These overall perspectives on what it is to
be human can themselves be studied from the vantage points of the
various academic disciplines.
Students need to learn about themselves, about what it is to be a person.
Hence, the Perspective on Human Identity. But the person exists in
both a social community and a natural world. Hence, the importance of the
Perspectives on the Social World and the Natural World. Because the way in
which we understand ourselves derives largely fiom our Western heritage,
students need to learn Perspective on the Western Heritage. At the same
time, to focus on the West alone would be ethnocentric: we live in a global
society. Hence this Perspective on Inter-Cultural Awareness. Finally, the
College has a concern for values. Attention to moral values is found not only
in the Perspective on the Character and Mission of the College: the Christian Faith, but throughout the other perspectives as well. Attention is paid to
aesthetic values in the Perspective on Aesthetic Values.
Finally, the Mission Statement emphasizes that we are concerned with
academic excellence. This has a number of features, including the way
we teach all the courses in General Education. Beyond this, academic
excellence presupposes that students have the requisite skills to do
college-level work. The General Education Requirements are couched in
a context which pays attention to the skills of both incoming and
graduating students. Entry-level skill requirements in a number of critical
areas; including reading, writing, quantitative reasoning and critical
thinking, will be assessed and help given to students who need it.
Graduation-level skills are also emphasized, so that students not only
maintain but develop their skills during their Augsburg experience.
The proposed General Education Requirements provide a coherent way
to address the Mission of Augsburg College. They are not the only way,
neither do they guarantee that students who graduate fiom Augsburg
possess the desired knowledge and character traits. What they do is
provide a coherent description of the context in which we liberally
educate students, a clear statement of expected outcomes, and an
opportunity for students to see and understand the complexity ofwhat it
is to be human and Christian in an urban setting.
Skills Component:
A. En* Level Skills.All students who are entering Augsburg classified as
Freshman (fewer than seven college credit courses) are required to take
inventory assessments in the skills of reading, writing, quantitative reasoning (along with Math Placement) critical thinking, and word processing.
Placement in writing courses and math courses is determined by these
inventories. Students with demonstrated deficiencies in critical thinking
will be enrolled in a critical thinking course, students with demonstrated
deficiencies in reading, quantitative reasoning, or word processing will be
given advice on how to prepare for retaking the respective tests. Students
are required to have taken the assessments before registering for the
second trimester and to have demonstrated removal of deficiencies by the
end of their first year (three trimesters) at Augsburg.
All entering students; whatever their classification, who have already
received college credit for a course which has been accepted as the
equivalent of Effective Writing are considered to have already completed the inventory assessment in writing. Students with a transfer
mathematics course accepted for college credit by Augsburg College are
exempted fiom the quantitative reasoning inventory and will be given
information about taking the Math Placement test based upon previous
college mathematics courses.
Entering Freshman or Sophomore transfer students with demonstrated
word processing skulls; e.g. recent verifiable work experience, are exempt
from the word processing i~lventory.Entering Freshman or Sophomore
students who have college credit for a critical thinking or logic course are
exempt fiom the critical thinltiilg inventory.
Entering Junior and Senior transfer students are exempt from word
processing, reading, and critical thulking assessments.
13. Graduation Level Skills. Ge~leralEd~~cation
includes e~lhancementof
certain slds during the years in college. Skills related to writing, critical
thinking, speaking, and quantitative reasoning are deliberate componellts of
certain co~mes.Completion of the requisite courses with a mnhim~ungrade of
2.0 or Pis required for grad~lation.Sh~dentsare required to have two courses
with writing comnpone~~ts
and one course each with critical thi~ddng,spealhg
and quantitative reasonu~gcomponents. These courses can simultaneo~sly
satisfjr slcill requirements and graduation req~ureme~lts
for the major or general
education perspectives. Two comes in Lifetime Sports are also required.
Liberal Arts Perspectives:
The General Education Liberal Arts Perspectives have the primary goal
of providing the basis for begi~lni~lg
to understand what it means to be a
human being at this time. The goals of the Perspectives are achieved
through a variety of courses which have been approved as meeting the
criteria established for each Perspective.
Students will choose courses from a list of courses meeting the Liberal
Arts Perspectives. These choices are controlled by the following policies:
A student will choose one course from each category.
No single course can fi~lfllthe requireme~ltsin two or more categories.
No student will be permitted to count more than three courses from
the same department in meeting perspective requirements.
No student may count more than one course from the same department in meeting the requirements of any single perspective except:
1.Up to three courses in religion may be used to meet the perspective, "The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The
Christian Faith."
2. Up to two courses in a year-long sequence may be used to meet
the perspective, "The Natural World."
3. Up to two courses of the same foreign language may be used to
meet part of the perspective, "Intercultural Awareness."
The followi~lgsummary of the Perspectives will suggest their general
goals and breadth. A description of the Liberal Arts Perspectives appears
in the more detailed Augsburg College Catalog.
A. l%e Character and Mission of Aujsburj Colleg-e: The Christian Faith.
This Perspective focuses on A~~gsburg
as a College of the ELCA.
Augsburg accepts as its basis for its educatio~lalprogram the doctrines of
the Christian faith as revealed in Scripture and the creeds affirmed by the
Lutheran Church. It consciously affirms that all students should reflect
upon the Christian Scriptures, theological concepts, ethical values, their
own faith and values, and religious concepts outside of the Christian
faith as part of becoming educated. Three courses are required to meet
this Perspective.
B. The Character and Mission of Augsburg Collge: The City. Students
should gain an understanding of and critically reflect upon the city with its
diverse populations; cultural, governmental, and economic institutions;
and opportunities and challenges which this environment presents.
Students should experience the community and shodd explore opportunities for service in the community. Internships, cooperative education,
field placements and other approved experiences, as well as courses which
focus upon the metropolitan area are used to meet this perspective. One
course or approved experience is req~dred.
C. WesternHevitage:This perspective is intended to help students critically
examine ideas and themes (found in, for example, literature, philosophy and
the arts) and events that historically have shaped Western civilization.Attention is paid to the contributions to or critiques of Western thought by women
and ethnic minorities.Two comes are required to meet this perspective.
D. Human Identity: This perspective is intended to help students view
themselves as persons; men and women with unique abilities, values,
beliefs, experiences, and behaviors. One course is required to meet this
perspective.
E. Aesthetics:Aesthetic creations convey hndamental insights and values,
express beauty, and enhance life: This perspective focuses on aesthetic
qualities ul artistic expressions by oneself and others. One course is required.
F . The Social World:This perspective is intended to help students learn
to identify, examine, and critique social, economic, or political systems:
to understand how and why such systems develop, to see the connections among these systems, and to use this laowledge as a participant in
society. Two courses are required for this perspective.
G. Intercultural Awareness: This perspective is intended to complement
the Western Heritage perspective by expanding students' awareness of
other cultures. One course is required in which students critically reflect
upon ways their own cultural biases operate when confronting other
cultures. They should become better able to communicate with persons
of other cultural baclcgrounds partially by being introduced to a specific
culture other than European or mainstream North American cultures.
In addition, students are to gain entry into another culture by leanling to speak
and read a language other than their native language. For thispart of the perspective, students are required to have demonstrated proficiency in a foreign
language. The foreign language requirement wdl be based upon placement:

H . The Natural World:This perspective is intended to help students
understand themselves in relation to the physical world. Their active role
as observers, explorers, and moral agents will be emphasized. Sufficient
technical training in scientific knowledge, concepts, and methods will be
provided to equip students for critical and intelligent participation in
public debates on technical issues. Two courses, one of which is a
laboratory course, are required.

At least since Socrates, scholars have appreciated the value of mathematics in
developing skills of critical thinlung, understanding abstract concepts, and
analyzing and solving problems. Computer Science courses at Augsburg are
intended to help develop these slulls. In addition, an increasing number of
academic disciplines require a working knowledge of the tools of mathematics
and computer science. This major serves students studying/working in a
wide variety of fields.
Some courses may need to be taken in an evening schedule. Students should
meet with a faculty adviser as soon as possible to plan their course of study.

broad foundation in the social sciences. Students must complete a major in
one of five fields - Economics, History, Political Science, Psychology or
Sociology (the History major is described below) plus seven courses (ECO
112 or 113, Human Geography, HIS 222, POL 158, PSY 105, SOC 121
and 336). Students consideri~lga career in social studies education should

courses in Physical Education: 353,475,482, and 489. Individuals must hold
a valid Minnesota Teaching License to qualify for the coaching endorsement.
Prerequisite: BIO 103: Human Anatomy and Physiology
English
Those who study English believe that an intense concern for words, ideas
and images helps us understand who we are and who we can become.
Writing helps us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through English study we see
life's complexity, experience life as some others do, and understand better
the world in which we live and work.
English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is
concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the
contemplation of works of art. With psychology and sociology, English is
concerned with individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is
interested in ideas and the relation between meaning and language. With
science, English is interested in discovering order and determining structures. With speech and communications, English studies the effective use of
language. With history and the other social sciences and humanities, English
studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and in
different cultures.
Major: Nine courses above 111,including 225 and 245; one upper division
course in American literature; one course in Western literary tradition (271
or 272); and three courses in British literature, one on literature before 1660
(for example, 331 or 438) and one that surveys a number ofwriters (336,
337,423). Majors are encouraged to consult their departmental adviser
regularly. A student with a double major or special program that i~lvolves
considerable work in the English department should also work closely with
an adviser in the department.
Note on Prerequisites:ENG 111 is strongly recommended but not a
prerequisite for a Lower Division literature course. Prerequisite for an Upper
Division course is successhl completion ENG 245 or consent of the instructor.
Note: Transfer students must take at least three of their English
courses at Augsburg.
English-LanguageArts Teaching Major: Ten courses, including those
listed under the major, a course in the English language, and an internship in
the teaching of writing. One course must include a component in nonWestern literature. In addition, the ACTC courses Communications Skills in
the English Classroom and Teaching Mass Media are required. Courses in
early American literature, Shakespeare, and film are recommended. Several of
the required courses, including the internship, are not offered on weekends.
Students in this program 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 requirements in the major.
Students in this program who are transferring from other colleges should
consult the English Department chair soon after enrolling.
Minor: Five courses above 111,including ENG 245, an upper division
literature course and an additional writing course.

Psychology
Psychology, with its emphasis on behavioral observation and data, provides
a perspective on human activities which is an integral part of liberal education. The goal of the Psychology program is the improved understanding of
human behavior by studying how people cope with their environment and
interact with each other.
Psychologists use a variety of methods to study behavior, including experimentation, observation and clinical case analysis. Faculty members in the
Department of Psychology at Augsburg have varied professional specializations which include areas such as counseling, physiological psychology,
human development, personality and computer applications. All psychology
majors MUST have an adviser in the Psychology Department. The following courses in the Psychology core will be offered when a sufficient number
of students are ready for that portion of their program: PSY 264,265,381,
493. This may delay an individual student's ability to complete the major in
the Weekend schedule. Required courses will be available regularly in the
Weekday schedule.

Minor
Five courses including PSY 105, with a minimum of two courses at Augsburg. Not more than one course from PSY 299,399 and 499 may be
counted toward the minor.
Religion
Augsburg College uriderstands itself as a college of the church and it is
persuaded that the Christian faith provides an appropriate perspective from
which to undertake its educational task. The biblical faith and tradition of
the Christian church have influenced the Western world to a degree much
greater than is sometimes recognized.
The student encounters this influence in studying language, literature,
history, values and political structures. The study of religion and theology is
intended to malce such encounters more meaningfi~lthrough a better
knowledge of biblical history and that of the Christian church, and by a
larger acquaintance with theological thought. Large segrnents of the earth's
population live by religious concepts and ideas which are different from
those prominent in the West. The Department of Religion also seeks to
introduce students to some of these major religious traditions.

and/or general education course credit. Completion of this major may require
enrollment in one or more courses offered in an evening schedule.
Social Work
Accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, the Bachelor of Science
in Social Work degree program at Augsburg College is built on a solid liberal
arts foundation, on theory-based training, and on professio~lallydirected field
experiences. As important, social work education at Augsburg is built on an
appreciation for the needs, concerns, and values of the individuals and groups
who constitute today's multi-cultural society. The Social Work major in
Augsburg Weekend College includes seven courses from the Departments of
Psychology, Biology, and Sociology. Concentrations are possible in the areas
of aging, chemical dependency, corrections, social ministries, and youth work.
Field work is an important component of the program.

Attendance Policy
It is expected that students attend every class. If a student knows she/he
will miss more than one class meeting, she/he should not register for
the course. Some faculty/courses require 100 percent attendance for a
student to earn a passing grade.
Most Weekend College classes meet seven times during a trimester plus Finals
Class Weekend. Some courses meet for the entire period on Finals Class
Weekend. Classes marked with an asterisk (*) on the Class Schedule require
additional class meetings, the dates and times ofwhich are either listed on the
course syllabus or determined by the class at the first meeting. Depending on
the course, these additional meetings are either required or optional.
Department Course Limits
Augsburg College's graduation requirements allow a maximum of 13
courses from each department except in certain approved majors (Social
Work, Nursing). Business Administration, Economics and Management
Information Systems are considered different departments for graduation
requirement purposes.
Grading Procedures
Evaluation and Grading
Student achievement in courses is measured primarily by final examinations.
Shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation are
also used.
Most courses are offered with grading options - traditional grading on a 4.0
to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0
or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Students are
cautioned to use the P/N grade option with care since some graduate and
professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P graded
courses, or rank each as a "C". Transfer students are cautioned that P graded
courses do not count in the requirement that 14 traditionally graded
courses be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation
with distinction. See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements
in the Augsburg College Catalog.
Certain courses are offered on one grading system only. Sociology 265 is
graded only on the P / N grading system and some education courses are
graded only on the P/N system or only on the traditional system. English
111 is graded P or N, or 2.0-4.O/N. Some other courses are graded only P,
1.0, N. Lifetime Sports are graded P/O.O.
I11 courses where this 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 the dates published each term. A fee is charged for any
changes made after registration.
Explanation of Grades
Number grades are used with these definitions:
Achieves highest standards of excellence.
4.0
3.5
Achieves above basic course standards.
3.0
2.5
Meets basic standards for the course.
2.0
1.5
Performance below basic course standards.
1.0
0.5
Unacceptable perfbrmance (no credit for the course).
0.0
Grade of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point
average. A grade of P represents work at or above the 2.0 level; N represents
work at the 1.5 or below level.
An incomplete grade may be given only in the case of emergency. To receive an
incomplete grade, a student must receive permission of the instructor of the
course; must file a form stating the reasons for the request, the work required to
complete the course, the plan and date for completing the work, and comments
fiom the instructor; and must file the form with the Office of the Registrar.
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 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 than
one year). An instructor reserves the discretion of not giving an X where
satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. Withdrawal from college, or
dropping these continued courses will terminate their registration. Under
this circumstance, a registration as 1X by the student would be necessary if
done during registration periods within one year of initial registration; if
done after one year a new registration would be necessary.
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V).The charge for auditing a course is listed under Fees and
Payment Schedule in the insert. Studentswho audit a come should confer with
the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance and any other requirement. If expectations have been met, the
course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have
not been met, the course will be listed a grade of W (Withdrawn).
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.
Cla~s~cation
Students are classified in August and at the end of fall and winter terms as
follows:
Sophomores - 7 courses completed with at least 14 grade points.
Juniors - 16 courses completed with at least 32 grade points.
Seniors - 25 courses completed with at least 50 grade points.
Withdrawal fiom College
Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered, since
this results in a &ling grade on the official record. Cancellation of comes or
withdrawal h m college must be done in the Registrar's Office. Withdrawal from
college cannot occur during h a l examinationweekend unless a petition is
approved by the Student Standing Committee. Withdrawal from college and
resulting adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the completed
Withdrawal From College form is returned to the Registrar's Office.
Graduation with Distinction
I
I
Graduation with distinction is determined as follows:
Summa cum laude - 3.8 to 4.0 cumulative GPA
Magna cum laude - 3.6 up to but not including 3.8 cumulative GPA
Cum laude - 3.3 up to but not including 3.6 cumulative GPA
To qualify for graduation with distinction, transfer students must have
completed two years (14 traditionally graded courses) of work at Augsburg.
Assessment of Previous Leariing (APL)
A~~gsburg
College recognizes that learning can and does talte place in Inally
life situations. Some o f this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition
within the discipli~lesthat compose the academic programs o f a liberal arts
college. The A1'L program (Assessment o f Previous Learning) at Augsburg
provides a means by which a student's previous learning, other than that
which is uansferred from anotl~eraccredited institution, may be presented for
exa~ni~latio~l
for possible credit toward the completion o f a bachelor's degree.
Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit
recog~litio~l
at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential
criteria: ( 1 )it is relevant to coursework in a field o f study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and ( 2 )it call be objectively demonstrated either
by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program
at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their
previous learning assessed for credit recognition:
CLEP (College Level Examination Program)
Students who achieve acceptable scorcs in CLEP exams may receive
academic credit at Augsburg College. CLE1' exams are available in a
variety o f general and specific subject areas. For morc information,
contact Weeltend College Admissio~ls(330.1792) or the regional CLEP
center at the Uni\lersity o f Minnesota (624-3323).
Departmental Assessment
Students who wish to receive credit for a specific academic course and do
11othave transcript evidence o f completed work may request a departme~ltal
assessment o f previous learning. This will most often include an examination
that covers the essential components o f the course involved. For more
information, contact the Registrar's Office(330-1036).
CAP (Credit Assessment Process)
This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty committee completes a credit evaluatioll o f a learning portfolio submitted by the student.
Informal meetings and consultation are provided for students who wish to
prepare a portfolio o f previous learning for credit assessmcnt. Students may
apply for CAP after co~npleti~lg
at least four courses o f academic work at
Augsburg College with a cumulative GPA o f at least 2.5. For Inore information, contact the Registrar's Office(330.1036).

CHARACTERISTICS
0.F- T H E
EDUCATIONAL
or over a century,
Augsburg College has
emphasized intellectual
freedom in the search for
knowledge. Augsburg's academic program builds on a
liberal arts foundation to help
students understand the past,
interpret the present, and plan
for the future.
F
As in the weekday program,
Augsburg Weekend College
ofSers students a unique
combination of the liberal arts
disciplines and professional
education. Our goals are to
help students develop the
intellectual skills and attitudes
to be lifelong learners,
increase their competence in
selected areas of professional
work, and accomplish a higher
level of personal growth.
HISTORY
OF
WEEKEND
COLLEGE
In Fall of 1982 Augsburg
began Weekend College
under the directorship of
Dr. Rick Thoni. At that time
Weekend College had three
majors, 69 students, and
offered eight courses in the
first term.
Today with more than 1,100
students and 12 majors,
Augsburg's Weekend College
is the largest program of its
kind in the state. Faculty in
Weekend College are full-time
Augsburg professors as well
as adjunct professionals from
the work world. The Weekend
College student body has
become involved in student
government, and Weekend
College students participate in
academic and extracurricular
activities such as the student
newspaper, travel seminars,
the Weekend College Student
Union and the Weekend
College Advisory Network
(WECAN).
Augsburg Weekend College
continues to grow and develop
to meet the changing needs of
the adult and nontraditional
student of today.
PURPOSE
Augsburg Weekend College
provides an educational alternative to adults who desire
college experience but who
work or have other commitments during the week. It is a
means by which men and
women may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for
professional advancement,
prepare for career change, or
pursue a personal interest in
one or more areas of the
liberal arts.
MISSION
OF THE
COLLEGE
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
to the Mission of the College:
To develop future leaders of
service to the world by
providing high quality educational opportunities which are
based in the liberal arts and
shaped by the faith and values
of the Christian Church, by
the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an
intentionally diverse campus
community.
THEADULTAS LEARNER A COMMUNITYOF
LEARNERS
Augsburg Weekend College is
designed to meet the needs
and preferences of adult
learners. The program is based
on the assumption that the
men and women who enroll in
Weekend College will be
mature, self-disciplined and
well-motivated adult learners
who seek a balance of classroom experience and
individualized study. Each
course is therefore divided
into periods of concentrated
on-campus study separated by
time for independent study
and class preparation.
Essential to the goals of
Augsburg's Weekend College is
participation in a community of
adult learners. Learning can be
enhanced when the student is
involved in a stable community
that provides opportunity and
encouragement to become
involved in interaction both in
and out of the classroom. This
community will be enriched by
the presence of both men and
women with a variety of work
and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community
interaction, Augsburg encourages Weekend College students
to make use of college facilities

sors. Most faculty hold the
doctorate or other terminal
degree and all consider their
teaching to be the focus of their
activity. Faculty are involved in
social, professional and a variety
of research activities, but see
these activities as supporting
their teaching. They are actively
involved in an exciting faculty
development program which
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.
History
Augsburg College was
founded in 1869 in Marshall,
Wisconsin, and moved to
Minneapolis in 1872. The
name Augsburg College and
Seminary changed in 1963
when the Lutheran Free
Church merged with The
American Lutheran Church.
Location
Augsburg's 23-acre campus is
in the heart of the Twin Cities
metropolitan area, only blocks
from downtown Minneapolis
and the intersection of Interstate
Highways 94 and 35W. Adjacent
to the campus are the Riverside
Medical Center, the West Bank
campus of the University of
Minnesota and the Mississippi
River parkways.
Campus
Augsburg's campus consists
of 15 major buildings which
include student housing
towers, the College Center,
main academic and administrative halls, the Library,
Music Hall and the Foss
Center for Worship, Drama
and Communication.
Accessibility
We have made a major effort
to become one of the most
accessible campuses in the
region. Our skyway-tunnel
system lets you reach any of 10
major buildings without going
outside. In addition to building
changes, we have a student-run
program to increase awareness
and provide extra help for
students with disabilities.
Church Affiliation
Augsburg is a college of The
Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America. Although a strong
plurality of students are Lutheran,
18 percent represent other
Protestant denominations and
2 1 percent represent the Roman
Catholic Church. Several other
affiliations are represented
among students and faculty.
POLICIES

CAMPUSMINISTRY
As a college of the church,
Augsburg is concerned about
spiritual as well as academic

A
ugsburg College
constructs its
curriculum upon the
premise that students must be
educated as fully human
persons - intellectually, spiritually and physically. To act
effectively, human beings must
have a broad grasp of the
world from which they have
come as well as the world in
which they live. By providing
courses in the humanities,
natural sciences and social
sciences, the liberal arts
perspectives introduce students
to the breadth and complexity
of knowledge and culture.
Required courses in religion
are designed to acquaint
students with the Christian
tradition and encourage them
to reflect upon the importance
and meaning of spirituality in
their lives. Recreation courses
offer students the opportunity
to develop skills for participation in exercise and sporting
activities.
Students are encouraged to
consult frequently with their
advisers to ensure that all
requirements are met for
graduation. A comprehensive
explanation for the General
Education Curriculum may be
found in the Augsburg College
general catalog.

POLICIES
AND
PROCEDURES
REGISTRATION
Registration consists of two
parts:
Scheduling (choosing
classes) - A student
reserves a space in classes
for each trimester by
completing a schedule form.
Scheduling can be done in
advance of payment.
Payment (confirmation of
schedule) - A student who
has scheduled courses must
then confirm that schedule
by paying. Dates and deadlines for scheduling and
payment are listed in detail
in the Weekend College
catalog supplement.
SOME IMPORTANT
ON
POINTS
REGISTRATION:
A student must be registered
for a course in order to
receive course credit for it.
A student in Weekend
College is considered fulltime if they register for two
courses per trimester (or 2.5
if receiving a Minnesota
State Student Grant).
Students are responsible for
obtaining registration materials from the Weekend
College Office.
A student who has not paid
or made partial payment
prior to the first day of
classes is not registered for
their course(s). The student
may register and confirm the
first class weekend, but late
fees will apply and their
space in the course(s) will
not be held.
CROSSOVER
POLICY
It is expected that Weekend
College students complete
their degree requirements in
the Weekend College
schedule; however, students
may take a course in the day
schedule as a crossover. A
Weekend College student
wishing to attend a day
schedule course, or a day
student wishing to attend a
course in Weekend College,
must schedule at the Office of
the Registrar. Students taking
courses in both the day
program and Weekend
College program schedules
which total three or more
courses on any given date will
be charged comprehensive day
program tuition. A Weekend
College student taking one day
schedule course and who has
fewer than three total courses
will be charged the current
part-time tuition for day
school.
Students will also follow these
guidelines:
Students may cross over for
one full courselcredit per
term.
The course selected must
have space availability.
Weekend College students
may not cross over to attend
ACTC (Associated Colleges
of the Twin Cities) courses,
except when required by the
major to do so.
Courses cross-listed in the
Weekend College schedule
and the day schedule are not
subject to cross over policy.
Contact the Office of the
Registrar for more information
on the crossover policy.
WITHDRAWING
FROM
COURSES
Students may drop (also
referred to as canceling or
withdrawing) a particular
course by completing a
CancelIAddlChange of
Registration form at the Office
of the Registrar before the
deadline (published in the
Weekend College Catalog
Supplement). Dropping a class
will result in a "W" for withdrawal on an official academic
record. Students are urged not
to abandon courses for which
they are registered because
this may result in a failing
grade on their official academic record. The refund
schedule is listed on page 14.
Note: A student may withdraw
after the refund schedule has
expired.
WITHDRAWAL
FROM
COLLEGE
Students who do not intend to
continue at Augsburg must file
a Withdrawal from College
form at the Office of the
Registrar. This is not necessary if the student is taking a
term off; however, Weekend
College students who do not
attend courses for three
consecutive trimesters
(excluding summer) are
considered inactive and must
file an Application for
Re-admission form with the
Office of the Registrar in
order to resume their academic
program. Students are responsible for keeping the Office of
the Registrar informed of their
mailing address.
SYLLABUS
A syllabus is a course outline
written by the instructor which
may include a course description
and objectives, required text@),
course schedule, grading criteria
and assignments. A syllabus is
especially important in Weekend
College because it advises the
student of any assignment due
the first class weekend. Students
are responsible for picking up
the course syllabus at the times
published in The Weekender,
the Weekend College informational publication.
EVALUATIONAND
C RADI NG
Student achievement in
courses is measured primarily
by final examinations. Shorter
tests, written papers, oral
reports and other types of
evaluation also are used.
Most courses are offered with
grading options - traditional
grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or
the Pass/No Credit system, in
which P means a grade of 2.0
or better and N means no
credit and a grade of less than
2.0. Students who choose the
PIN 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".
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 graduation with distinction.
Transfer students should be
especially aware of this
requirement.
See PIN limitations under
Graduation Requirements on
page 28.
Note: Certain courses are
offered on one grading system
only (e.g., Lifetime Sports are
graded PIN only).
In courses where there is a
choice, students will be graded
on the traditional system
unless they indicate on their
registration that they wish to
use the PIN grading option.
Any changes in choice of
grading system must be made
according to dates published
each term. A fee is charged for
any changes made after the
first five days of classes.
NUMBER
GRADES
Number grades are used with
these definitions:
4.0 Achieves highest
standards of excellence
3.0 Achieves above basic
course standards
2.0 Meets basic standards for
the course
1.0 Performance below basic
course standards
0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the
course)
Grades of P (Pass) or N (No
credit) are not computed in the
grade point average.
An incomplete grade (I) may
be given only in the case of
extreme emergency. To
receive an incomplete grade, a
student must receive permission of the instructor; must file
a form stating the reasons for
the request, the work required
to complete the course, the
plan and date for completing
the work, and comments from
the instructor; and must gain
the approval of the Registrar.
If permission is granted, the
necessary work must be
completed in enough time to
allow evaluation of the work
by the instructor and filing of
a grade before the final day of
the following trimester. If the
work is not completed by that
date, the grade for the course
becomes a 0.0.
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 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 than
one year). An instructor has
the option of not giving an X
where satisfactory progress is
not demonstrated.
A course in which a grade of
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
and grades earned each term
remain on the academic
record. Only the credits and
grades earned the second time,
for legitimately repeated
courses, are counted toward
graduation and in the grade
point average.
AUDITINGCOURSES
Students who wish to take
courses without credit or grade
may do so by registering for
Audit (V). The charge for
auditing is listed in the current
year's Weekend College
Catalog Supplement. The
signature of the instructor is
required to register an audit.
Students who audit a course
should confer with the
instructor two weeks prior to
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 (Withdrawn).
GRADEPOINTAVERAGE ACADEMIC
PROGRESS,
PROBATION
AND
The grade point average
(GPA) is based on final grades
DISMISSAL
for all work at Augsburg. It
does not include credit and
grade points for work transferred from other colleges.
Courses taken on the PIN
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
taken.*
* Using traditionally graded
course credits only.
CLASSIFICATION
Students are classified in
August and at the end of the
Fall Trimester.
Sophomores - Seven credits
completed.
Juniors - 16 credits completed.
Seniors - 24 credits completed.
The College requires that
students maintain the
following cumulative grade
point averages (GPA):
Freshman - A student who
has taken fewer than seven
credits with a cumulative GPA
of 1.6 or higher
Sophomore - A student who
has taken fewer than 16
credits with a cumulative GPA
of 1.7 or higher
Junior - A student who has
taken fewer than 24 credits
with a cumulative GPA of 1.9
or higher
Senior - A student who has
taken 24 or more credits with
a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or
higher.
It should be noted that a
minimum GPA of 2.0 is
required for graduation with
certain majors requiring a
higher minimum GPA.
Students whose academic
achievement falls below these
guidelines will either be placed
on scholastic probation at the
end of the term, will be
continued on probation or, will
be dismissed from the College.
In addition, a freshman who
receives two zero grades or a
sophomore who receives three
zero grades will be considered
for probation or dismissal.
However, dismissal from the
College is not automatic. Each
case is reviewed by the
Committee on Student
Standing. Evidence of the
student's commitment to academic progress is the major
consideration in deciding
whether or not to dismiss a
student. Those on probation
who voluntarily withdraw from
the College, as well as those
who are dismissed, must have
special permission to re-enroll.
Students may be removed
from probation when the
cumulative GPA reaches the
minimum level stated above.
Students placed on probation
as freshmen for having earned
two zero grades may be
removed from probation if
their classification changes to
sophomore, if they have not
earned additional zero grades,
and if their cumulative GPA
reaches 1.7. Students placed
on probation as sophomores
for having earned three zero
grades may be removed from
probation if their classification
changes to junior and their
cumulative GPA reaches 1.9.
The College reserves the right
to dismiss any student who
does not meet the guidelines
stated above. Once a student is
dismissed, he or she may
appeal the decision within 10
days to the Committee on
Student Standing.
DEAN'S
LIST
The Dean's List is compiled
after each trimester, listing
students whose grade point
average for a trimester is 3.5
or better. Students must be
full-time (a minimum two full
course credits for a Weekend
College student), graded on
the traditional grading system,
with no incompletes in courses
offered for credit. If permission is given by the student, an
announcement is sent to the
hometown newspaper of each
student on the Dean's List.
GRADUATION
WITH
DISTINCTION
Graduation with Distinction is
determined as follows:
Summa cum laude - 3.8 to
4.0 cumulative GPA
Magna cum laude - 3.6 up to
but not including 3.8 cumulative GPA
Cum laude - 3.3 up to but
not including 3.6 cumulative
GPA
To qualify for graduation with
distinction, transfer students
must have completed two
years (14 traditionally graded
credits) of work at Augsburg.
ASSESSMENT
OF
PREVIOUS
LEARNING
(APL) PROGRAM
Augsburg College recognizes
that learning can and does take
place in many life situations.
Some of this learning may be
appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that
compose the academic
program of a liberal arts
college. The Assessment of
Previous Learning (APL)
program at Augsburg
provides a means by which a
student's previous learning,
other than that which is transferred from another accredited
institution, may be presented
for examination for possible
credit toward the completion
of a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life
experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at
a liberal arts college. Such
learning must meet two essential criteria: 1) it is relevant to
course work in a field of study
within the Augsburg liberal
arts curriculum and 2) it can
be objectively demonstrated
either by comprehensive
examination or committee
evaluation.
The APL program at
Augsburg provides several
means by which students may
have their previous learning
assessed for credit recognition.
The following is a brief
description of each of these
means of assessment:
The College Level
Examination Program
(CLEP)
This is a series of standardized
tests which have been developed by the College Board
and are offered to students for
a small fee at regional testing
centers. (The regional testing
center for this area is the
University of Minnesota.)
Students who score at or
above the 65th percentile on a
subject examination may
receive academic credit for
that subject at Augsburg
College. Additional information about CLEP tests is
available from the Office of
the Registrar.
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
instrument 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 passlno credit basis only,
and there is a charge per
exam of $485.00 for a full
course credit.
The Credit Assessment
Program (CAP)
This is a credit assessment
alternative in which a faculty
committee completes a credit
evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student.
The faculty committee is
composed of a representative
from the Office of the
Registrar and two faculty
members from fields of study
directly related to the student's
previous learning.
Informational meetings and
consultation are provided for
students who wish to prepare a
portfolio of previous learning
for credit assessment. This
may include a personal
meeting with the CAP
committee. In completing the
evaluation of a student's
previous learning, the CAP
committee applies the
following criteria:
There is documentable
evidence of a cognitive
component in the previous
learning experience that
involved prescribed andlor
systematic study of content
material found within liberal
arts course work.
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 four
courses of academic work at
Augsburg College with a
cumulative Augsburg GPA of
at least 2.5. It is strongly
recommended that the process
not be used when four or
fewer courses remain for graduation. There is an application
deposit to initiate the credit
assessment process, and a
charge for each semester
credit applied to the student's
transcript if credit is approved.
Transcript credit will be
granted on the basis of
semester credits, and the total
number of credits granted will
be divided by four to determine the number of course
credits applied to graduation.
These credits will be recorded
with the course number of
CAP 2xx. Application of this
credit toward the Liberal Arts
Perspective requirements,
Upper Division requirements,
and academic majors and
minors may be subsequently
addressed by the departments
involved in response to a
formal request by the student.
Maximum Credit Accepted
for Previous Learning
While Augsburg College
recognizes the validity of
learning that takes place
outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be
placed in the context of formal
study in campus-based liberal
arts courses. Therefore,
Augsburg places a maximum
of eight courses (one-fourth of
a baccalaureate degree) on
transcript credit that is
obtained through previous
experiential learning. In
compiling the eight courses of
credit for previous experiential
learning, the student may use
any combination of the three
assessment processes available
in the APL program: CLEP
exams, departmental exams
and credit granted through
CAP Committee assessment.
Lifetime Sports Assessment of Previous
Learning (APL) Program
Students in the Weekend
College may complete one or
both of the two required graduation skills of Lifetime
Sports through the APL
process. The Lifetime Sports
graduation skills are non-academic courses and no credit is
earned by their completion;
however, fulfillment of two
Lifetime Sports is necessary to
graduate. There is a fee for
each Lifetime Sport completed
by APL. Additional information about Lifetime Sport APL
is available from the Weekend
College Office.

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 spccialization is recommended for
positions with CPA firms. The
managerial accounting specialization is recornmended for
positions with large or rapidlygrowing companies.
Thc two professional specializations rclate to two
professional dcsignations: the
CPA and the CMA. A CPA
(Ccrtificd Public Accountant)
focuses on cxtcrnal reporting;
a CMA (Ccrtificd Management
Accountant) focuscs 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.
Designations have an experi-
ence requirement in addition
to passing the national exam.

COMMUNICATION
SPC
Our quality of life, both
personally and professionally,
depends in large part upon the
quality of our communication.
A Communication major at
Augsburg is designed to
enhance understanding of
communication in a variety of
contexts and to improve
communication skills.
Since careers in communication
demand a broad educational
background, the Department
strongly encourages a second
major or two minors in fields
such as business, economics,
English, history, international
relations, political science,
psychology, religion, social
work or sociology.
The Augsburg Communication
major focuses on competency
in both speech and writing, as
well as effective use of media.
Since the study and practice of
communication is grounded in
both the humanities and the
social sciences, majors are
encouraged to include such
related subjects as aesthetics,
ethics, philosophy, logic, literature, statistics and research
methods in their programs.
All Communication majors
must complete a core group of
seven required courses, supplemented by five electives in one
of the following concentrations: public relations and
advertising, marketing communication, human relations, or
supervisory management.
Prospective majors should meet
with a departmental adviser as
early as possible to design an
approved major program,
preferably by the end of the
sophomore year. Majors in
Communication are candidates
for the Bachelor of Arts degree.

NURSING
- NUR
The Augsburg Nursing
Program is designed exclusively for registered nurses
who want to increase their
opportunities in the health
care field.
The scope of nursing practice
is changing and expanding.
Nurses are being called on to
function in a variety of
settings that differ from those
in the past. Today nurses work
in hospitals, clinics, corporations, government agencies,
schools and community organizations; some are
self-employed running their
own businesses. All of these
nurses provide comprehensive
health assessment for individuals from all cultures and
socioeconomic levels. From
helping parents have safe
deliveries of healthy infants to
coordinating home care for the
dying, nurses assist people
through their entire life span.
The Baccalaureate degree
equips the nurse with a
working knowledge of the
biological, physical, social,
behavioral and nursing
sciences. The nursing program
at Augsburg College also
provides the educational
opportunities to increase skills
in critical thinking, clinical
investigation and decisionmaking that prepare nurses to
handle challenging new positions in today's health care
field.

PSYCHOLOGY
- PSY
Psychology, with its emphasis
on behavioral observation and
data, provides a perspective on
human activities which is an
integral part of liberal education.
The goal of the Psychology
program is the improved understanding of human behavior by
studying how people cope with
their environment and interact
with each other.
Psychologists use a variety of
methods to study behavior,
including experimentation,
observation and clinical case
analysis. Faculty members
have varied professional
specializations such as
counseling, physiological
psychology, human development, personality, social and
organizational psychology,
and analysis of public policy.
The Psychology program's
emphasis on the use of a
problem solving approach, the
acquisition of information
about human development and
interaction, and the development of human relations skills
can be beneficial in careers in
business, education and other
social services, the church
government, as well as in
careers such as research, law
and medicine.

RELIGION- REL
Augsburg College understands
itself as a college of the church
and it is persuaded that the
Christian faith provides an
appropriate perspective from
which to undertake its educational task. The biblical faith
and tradition of the Christian
Church have influenced the
whole world and they have
affected and continue to influence language, literature,
history, values and political
structures.
The student encounters this
religious tradition in studying
these and other areas. The
study of religion and theology
is intended to make such
encounters more meaningful
through a better knowledge of
biblical history and that of the
Christian Church, and by a
larger acquaintance with theological thought.
While it is true that the fundamental orientation of this
College is to the Christian
faith, it is also true that the
field of religion obviously
includes more than is represented by the Christian faith.
Large segments of the earth's
population live by religious
concepts and ideas which are
different from Christianity.
The Department of Religion
seeks to introduce students to
some of these major religious
traditions.
Religion Major
Eight courses including:
REL 11 1
Introduction to Theology
REL 221
Biblical Studies
Other Requirements
Religion 11 1 or 221 is prerequisite to all other courses and
is to be taken in either the

be made for junior or senior
transfer students, but the basic
courses are still highly recommended as preparation for
Upper Division courses.
REL 481
Contemporary Theology
Department approval is necessary before courses taken at
other colleges can be accepted
for Religion Department
and/or general education
course credit.
REL 495
Seminar
All majors must consult with
the Department Chair.

SOCIAL WORK
- SWK
The Social Work major
prepares graduates for entrylevel generalist professional
practice in the field of human
services. The program is
accredited by the Council on
Social Work Education and
leads to a Bachelor of Science
degree. The program is based
on a generalist model of practice, enabling graduates to
work with individuals, families, groups, communities and
to develop and analyze social
policy. Courses within the
program utilize a student
empowerment model for
teaching and learning.
Augsburg's social work major
also provides a strong foundation for graduate studies in a
variety of fields. Augsburg

AITENDANCEPOLICY
It is expected that students
attend every class. If more
than one class meeting will be
missed, the student should not
register for the course. Some
faculty and courses require
100 percent attendance for a
student to earn a passing
grade. Most Weekend College
classes meet seven times
during a trimester plus Finals
Class Weekend. Some courses
meet for the entire period on
Finals Class Weekend.
Classes marked with an
asterisk (*) on the Class
Schedule require or recommend that students attend
additional class meetings, the
dates and times of which are
either listed on the course
syllabus or determined by the
class at the first meeting.
CLASS
SCHEDULE
There are three trimesters in
Weekend College - Fall,
Winter and Spring. A calendar
of class weekends for each
trimester and a tentative
schedule of courses offered
can be found in the Weekend
College Supplement. Many
courses are offered at least
once a year; however, since
some courses are offered in
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 courses offered in the
day schedule, January Interim,
Summer School, the Master of
Arts in Leadership, Master of
Arts in Leadership-Education
and the Master of Social
Work programs are published
in separate publications.
PREREQUISITES
A prerequisite is a course or a
specific skill level, e.g. Math
Placement Level, which must
be completed before the
student enrolls in a higherlevel course. Prerequisites are
listed in the course description. A student may only
enroll in a course when a
prerequisite has not been
fulfilled if there is prior
approval by the professor
teaching the course and the
academic adviser.
NUMBERING
Courses numbered below 300
are Lower Division courses.
Courses numbered 300 and
above are classified as Upper
Division.

HISTORY
OF
WEEKEND
COLLEGE
In fall of 1982 Augsburg
began Weekend College
under the directorship of
Dr. Rick Thoni. At that time
Weekend College had three
majors, 69 students, and
offered eight courses in the
first term.
Today with more than 1,000
students and 13 majors,
Augsburg's Weekend College
is the largest program of its
kind in the state. Faculty in
Weekend College are full-time
Augsburg professors as well
as adjunct professionals from
the work world. The Weekend
College student body is
involved in student government, and Weekend College
students participate in academic and extracurricular
activities such as the student
newspaper, travel seminars,
and the Weekend College
Commission.
Augsburg Weekend College
continues to develop to meet
the changing needs of the adult
and nontraditional student of
today.
PURPOSE
Augsburg Weekend College
provides an educational alternative to adults who desire
college experience but who
work or have other commitments during the week. It is a
means by which men and
women may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for
professional advancement,
prepare for career change, or
pursue a personal interest in
one or more areas of the
liberal arts.
MISSION
OF THE
COLLEGE
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
to the Mission of the College:
To nurture future leaders of
sewice in the world by
providing high quality educational opportunities which are
based in the liberal arts and
shaped by the faith and values
of the Christian Church, by
the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an
intentionally diverse campus
community.
THEADULTAS LEARNER A COMMUNITYOF
LEARNERS
Augsburg Weekend College is
designed to meet the needs
and preferences of adult
learners. The program is based
on the assumption that the
men and women who enroll in
Weekend College will be
mature, self-disciplined and
well-motivated adult learners
who seek a balance of classroom experience and
individualized study. Each
course is therefore divided
into periods of concentrated
on-campus study separated by
time for independent study
and class preparation.
To accommodate this format
for learning, classes generally
meet on alternate weekends
for three and one-half hours
on either Friday evening,
Saturday morning, Saturday
afternoon or Sunday afternoon. Each course selected by
the student involves commitment to one of these four class
periods. Laboratory sections or
additional class hours may be
scheduled during the week.
Weekend College students
may take from one to four
courses each term.
Essential to the goals of
Augsburg's Weekend College is
participation in a community of
adult learners. Learning can be
enhanced when the student is
active in a stable community
that provides opportunity and
encouragement for involvement
both in and out of the classroom. This community will be
enriched by the presence of
both men and women with a
variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of
community interaction,
Augsburg encourages Weekend
College students to make use of
college facilities such as the
library and the Christensen
Center, to take the opportunity
of having shared meals and
coffee breaks, to participate in
optional lunch-time seminars,
and to attend other college
activities such as music and
dramatic presentations and
athletic events.
FACULTY
The heart of any educational
institution is its faculty and
Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence
and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the
doctorate or other terminal
degree and all consider their
teaching to be the focus of their
activity. Faculty are involved in
social, professional and a variety
of research activities, but see
these activities as supporting
their teaching. They are actively
involved in an exciting faculty
development program which
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.
History
Augsburg College and
Seminary was founded in
1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin,
and moved to Minneapolis in
1872. In 1963, the name officially became Augsburg
College when the Seminary
left campus as part of the
Lutheran Free Church merger
with the American Lutheran
Church.
Location
Augsburg's 23-acre campus is
in the heart of the Twin Cities
metropolitan area, only blocks
from downtown Minneapolis
and the intersection of Interstate
Highways 94 and 35W. Adjacent
to the campus are the Riverside
E d u c a t i o n a l
P r o g r a m L 4
Medical Center, the West Bank
campus of the University of
Minnesota and the Mississippi
River parkways.
Campus
Augsburg's campus consists
of 15 major buildings which
include student housing
towers, the College Center,
main academic and administrative halls, the Library,
Music Hall and the Foss
Center for Worship, Drama
and Communication.
Accessibility
We have made a major effort
to become one of the most
accessible campuses in the
region. Our skyway-tunnel
system lets you reach any of 10
major buildings without going
outside. In addition to building
changes, we have a student-run
program to increase awareness
and provide extra help for
students with disabilities.
Church Affiliation
Augsburg is a college of The
Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America. Although a strong
plurality of students are Lutheran,
20 percent represent other
Protestant denominations and
21 percent represent the Roman
Catholic Church. Several other
affiliations are represented
among students and faculty.
POLICIES
It is the policy of Augsburg
College not to discriminate on
the basis of race, color, creed,
religion, sexual or affectional
preference, national or ethnic
origin, age, marital status, sex
or status with regard to public
assistance or disability, as
required by Title IX of the
1972 Educational Amendments
or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended,
in its admissions policies,
education programs, activities
and employment practices.
Inquiries regarding compliance may be directed to the
coordinators listed on pages

that may have affected the
applicant's previous academic
performance, it may be
included with the application or
discussed personally with the
Admissions Coordinator.
Academic recommendations
may be required by the
Admissions Committee before

Transfer Credit
Augsburg College welcomes
students who wish to transfer
after completing work at other
accredited colleges or universities. College credit is granted
for liberal arts courses satisfactorily completed at
accredited institutions. The
College reserves the right not
to grant credit for courses
where it considers the work
unsatisfactory, to grant provisional credit for work taken at
unaccredited institutions and
to require that certain courses
be taken at Augsburg.
Augsburg College limits
transfer of credit from twoyear colleges once a student
has reached junior status. If all
transfer work has been taken
at a two-year college, a
maximum of 17 Augsburg
courses, or 96 quarter credits,
will be accepted toward the
minimum of 33 Augsburg
course credits required for the
baccalaureate degree.
Transfer Credit Evaluations
An evaluation of transfer
credit is completed by the
Registrar upon admission for
each degree-seeking student
who is transferring previous
college work. This evaluation
indicates which of the
student's courses have been
accepted for transfer credit at
Augsburg College, and how
many course credits the
student has earned in transfer.
The Registrar also determines
which transfer courses may be
used to fulfill general education requirements, and may
request that the student
provide course descriptions,
syllabi or other information to
assist in this determination.
For an evaluation of transfer
courses toward major, minor
or licensure requirements, the
student should consult the
appropriate department chair.
Augsburg graduates and
students who have not
attended Weekend College for
more than one academic year
(three trimesters) must apply
for readmission through the
Registrar's Office. Students
who have attended any other
institution(s) during their
absence from Augsburg must
have an official transcript sent
from each institution to the
Registrar's Office.

(or 2.5 if receiving a
Minnesota State Student
Grant).
REGISTRATION
Registration consists of two
parts:
Scheduling (choosing
classes) - A student
reserves a space in classes
for each trimester by
completing a schedule form.
Scheduling can be done in
advance of payment.
Payment (confirmation 01
schedule) - A student who
has scheduled courses must
then confirm that schedule
by paying. Dates and deadlines for scheduling and
payment are listed in the
Weekend College Catalog
Supplement.
SOME IMPORTANT
POINTS ON
REGISTRATION:
A student must be registered
for a course in order to
receive course credit for it.
A student in Weekend
College is considered fulltime if he or she registers
for two courses per trimester
Students are responsible for
obtaining registration materials from the Weekend
College Office.
A student who has not paid
or made partial payment
prior to the first day of
classes is not registered for
their course(s). The student
may register and confirm the
first class weekend, but late
fees will apply and their
space in the course(s) will
not be held.
CROSSOVERPOLICY
It is expected that Weekend
College students complete
their degree requirements in
the Weekend College
schedule; however, students
may take a course in the day
schedule as a crossover. A
Weekend College student
wishing to attend a day
schedule course, or a day
student wishing to attend a
course in Weekend College,
must schedule at the Office of
the Registrar. Students taking
courses in both the day
program and Weekend
College program schedules
which total three or more
courses on any given date will
be charged comprehensive day
program tuition. A Weekend
College student taking one day
schedule course and who has
fewer than three total courses
will be charged the current
part-time tuition for day
school.
Students will also follow these
guidelines:
Students may cross over for
one full course credit per
term.
The course selected must
have space available.
Weekend College students
may not cross over to attend
ACTC (Associated Colleges
of the Twin Cities) courses,
except when required by the
major to do so.
Courses cross-listed in the
Weekend College schedule
and the day schedule are not
subject to cross over policy.
Contact the Office of the
Registrar for more information
on the crossover policy.
WITHDRAWING
FROM
COURSES
Students may drop (also
referred to as canceling or
withdrawing) a particular
course by completing a
Cancel/Add/Change of
Registration form at the Office
of the Registrar before the
deadline (published in the
Weekend College Catalog
Supplement). Dropping a class
will result in a " W for withdrawal on an official academic
record. Students are urged not
to abandon courses for which
they are registered because this
may result in a failing grade on
their official academic record.
The refund schedule is listed
on page 14. Note: A student
may withdraw after the refund
schedule has expired.
WITHDRAWAL
FROM
COLLEGE
Students who do not intend to
continue at Augsburg must file
a Withdrawal from College
form at the Office of the
Registrar. This is not necessary
if the student is taking a term
off; however, Weekend
College students who do not
attend courses for three
consecutive trimesters
(excluding summer) are
considered inactive and must
file an Application for
Re-admission form with the
Office of the Registrar in order
to resume their academic
program. Students are responsible for keeping the Office of
the Registrar informed of their
mailing address.
SYLLABUS
A syllabus is a course outline
written by the instructor which
may include a course description
and objectives, required text(s),
course schedule, grading criteria
and assignments. A syllabus is
especially important in Weekend
College because it advises the
student of any assignment due
the first class weekend. Students
are responsible for picking up
the course syllabus at the times
published in The Weekender,
the Weekend College informational publication.
EVALUATIONAND
GRADING
Student achievement in
courses is measured primarily
by final examinations. Shorter
tests, written papers, oral
reports and other types of evaluation also are used.
Most courses are offered with
grading options - traditional
grading on a 4.0 scale or the
Pass/No Credit system, in
which P means a grade of 2.0
or better and N means no
credit and a grade of less than
2.0. Students 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".
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 graduation with distinction.
Transfer students should be
especially aware of this
requirement.
See P/N limitations under
Graduation Requirements on
page 28.
Note: Certain courses are
offered on one grading system
only (e.g., Lifetime Sports are
graded P/N only).
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. A fee is charged for
any changes made after the
published deadline for dropping without record notation.
I n f o r m a t i o n .
NUMERIC
GRADES
Numeric grades are used with
these definitions:
4.0 Achieves highest
standards of excellence
3.0 Achieves above basic
course standards
2.5
2.0 Meets basic standards
for the course
1.0 Performance below basic
course standards
0.5
0.0 Unacceptable performance
(no credit for the course)
Grades of P (Pass) or N (No
credit) are not computed in the
grade point average.
An incomplete grade (I) may
be given only in the case of
extreme emergency. To
receive an incomplete grade, a
student must receive permission of the instructor, and
must file a form with the
Registrar's Office stating the
reasons for the request, the
work required to complete the
course, the plan and date for
completing the work, and
comments from the instructor.
The necessary work must be
completed in enough time to
allow evaluation of the work
by the instructor and filing of
a grade before the final day of
the following trimester. If the
work is not completed by that
date, the grade for the course
becomes a 0.0.
Internships, Indepzndent
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 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 than
one year). An instructor has
the option of not giving an X
where satisfactory progress is
not demonstrated.
A course in which a grade of
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
and grades earned each term
remain on the academic
record. Only the credits and
grades earned the second time,
for legitimately repeated
courses, are counted toward
graduation and in the grade
point average.
AUDITINGCOURSES
Students who wish to take
courses without credit or grade
may do so by registering for
Audit (V). The charge for
auditing is listed in the current
year's Weekend College
Catalog Supplement. The
signature of the instructor is
required to register an audit.
Students who audit a course
should confer with the
instructor two weeks prior to
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 (Withdrawn).
Courses for which transfer
credit has been awarded may
not be repeated for credit at
Augsburg. This includes
courses which are substantially similar despite different
titles or emphases.
GRADEPOINTAVERAGE
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 course
credits attempted."
* Using traditionally graded
course credits only.
CLASSIFICATION
Student classifications are
updated in August and at the
end of the Fall Trimester.
Sophomores - Seven course
credits completed.
Juniors - 16 course credits
completed.
Seniors -24 course credits
completed.
ACADEMIC
PROGRESS,
~ROBAT~O
AND
N
DISMISSAL
The College requires that
students maintain the
following cumulative grade
point averages (GPA):
Freshman - A student who
has taken fewer than seven
credits with a cumulative GPA
of 1.6 or higher
Sophomore - A student who
has taken fewer than 16
credits with a cumulative GPA
of 1.7 or higher
Junior - A student who has
taken fewer than 24 credits
with a cumulative GPA of 1.9
or higher
Senior - A student who has
taken 24 or more credits with
a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or
higher.
It should be noted that a
minimum GPA of 2.0 is
required for graduation with
certain majors requiring a
higher minimum GPA.
Students whose academic
achievement falls below these
guidelines will either be placed
on scholastic probation at the
end of the term, will be
continued on probation, or will
be dismissed from the College.
In addition, a freshman who
receives two zero grades or a
sophomore who receives three
zero grades will be considered
for probation or dismissal.
However, dismissal from the
College is not automatic. Each
case is reviewed by the
Committee on Student
Standing. Evidence of the
student's commitment to academic progress is the major
consideration in deciding
whether or not to dismiss a
student. Those on probation
who voluntarily withdraw from
'the College, as well as those
who are dismissed, must have
special permission to re-enroll.
Students may be removed
from probation when the
cumulative GPA reaches the
minimum level stated above.
Students placed on probation
as freshmen for having earned
two zero grades may be
removed from probation if
their classification changes to
sophomore, if they have not
earned additional zero grades,
and if their cumulative GPA
reaches 1.7. Students placed
on probation as sophomores
for having earned three zero
grades may be removed from
probation if their classification
changes to junior and their
cumulative GPA reaches 1.9.
The College reserves the right
to dismiss any student who
does not meet the guidelines
stated above. Once a student is
dismissed, he or she may
appeal the decision within 10
days to the Committee on
Student Standing.
DEAN'S
LIST
The Dean's List is compiled
after each trimester, listing
students whose grade point
average for a trimester is 3.5
or better. Students must be
full-time (a minimum two full
course credits for a Weekend
College student), graded on
the traditional grading system,
with no incompletes in courses
offered for credit. If permission is given by the student, an
announcement is sent to the
hometown newspaper of each
student on the Dean's List.
ASSESSMENT
OF
PREVIOUS
LEARNING
(APL) PROGRAM
Augsburg College recognizes
that learning can and does take
place in many life situations.
Some of this learning may be
appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that
compose the academic
program of a liberal arts
college. The Assessment of
Previous Learning (APL)
program at Augsburg
provides a means by which a
student's previous learning,
other than that which is transferred from another accredited
institution, may be presented
for examination for possible
credit toward the completion
of a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life
experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at
a liberal arts college. Such
learning must meet two essential criteria: 1) it is relevant to
course work in a field of study
within the Augsburg liberal
arts curriculum and 2) it can
be objectively demonstrated
either by comprehensive
examination or committee
evaluation.
The APL program at
Augsburg provides several
means by which students may
have their previous learning
assessed for credit recognition.
The following is a brief
description of each of these
means of assessment:
The College Level
Examination Program
(CLEP)
This is a series of standardized
tests which have been developed by the College Board
and are offered to students for
a small fee at regional testing
centers. (The regional testing
center for this area is the
University of Minnesota.)
Students who score at or
above the 65th percentile on a
subject examination may
receive academic credit for
that subject at Augsburg
College. Additional information about CLEP tests is
available from the Office of
the Registrar.
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
instrument 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 passlno credit basis only,
and there is a charge per
exam of one-half of tuition
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 and/or
systematic study of content
material found within liberal
arts course work.
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 four course
credits of academic work at
Augsburg College with a
cumulative Augsburg GPA of
at least 2.5. It is strongly
recommended that the process
not be used when four or
fewer courses remain for graduation. There is an application
deposit to initiate the credit
assessment process, and a
charge for each semester
credit applied to the student's
transcript if credit is approved.
Transcript credit will be
granted on the basis of
semester credits, and the total
number of credits granted will
be divided by four to determine the number of course
credits applied to graduation.
These credits will be recorded
with the course number of
APL 2xx. Application of this
credit toward the Liberal Arts
Perspective requirements,
Upper Division requirements,
and academic majors and
minors may be subsequently
addressed by the Associate
Academic Dean in response to
a formal request by the
student.
Maximum Credit Accepted
for Previous Learning
While Augsburg College
recognizes the validity of
learning that takes place
outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be
placed in the context of formal
study in campus-based liberal
arts courses. Therefore,
Augsburg places a maximum
of eight course credits (about
one-fourth of a baccalaureate
degree) on transcript credit
that is obtained through
previous experiential learning.
In compiling the eight courses
of credit for previous experiential learning, the student
may use any combination of
assessment processes available
in the APL program: CLEP
exams, departmental exams
and credit granted through
portfolio assessment.
Lifetime Sports Assessment of Previous
Learning (APL) Program
Students in the Weekend
College may complete one or
both of the two required graduation skills of Lifetime
Sports through the APL
process. The Lifetime Sports
graduation skills are non-academic courses and no credit is
earned by their completion;
however, fulfillment of two
Lifetime Sports is necessary to
graduate. There is a fee for
each Lifetime Sport completed
by APL. Additional information about Lifetime Sports
APL is available from the
Weekend College Office.
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 rapidlygrowing companies.
The two professional specializations relate to two
professional designations: the
CPA and the CMA. A CPA
(Certified Public Accountant)
focuses on external reporting;
a CMA (Certified Management
Accountant) 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.
Designations 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
during their last semester.
Accounting Core:
14 courses are required for
this major (an exception to

ART, STUDIO
- ART
A liberal arts college like
Augsburg is an ideal setting
for the study of art because it
provides a constant possibility
for the interaction of ideas,
disciplines and attitudes. At
Augsburg, art study is further
enhanced by associations with
a significant number of art
galleries and museums in the
Twin Cities area.
Hundreds of specific careers
exist in the general area of art,
such as teaching in the public
schools and colleges,
ceramics, interior design,
photography, film and video
work, painting, gallery and
museum work and design.

specific licensing requirements
for teachers which may differ
slightly in emphasis from the
Augsburg major requirements.
The state requirements may
also be subject to change after
publication of this catalog.
Students therefore should
consult with the Augsburg
Education Department to identify current Minnesota teacher
licensure requirements.

COMMUNICATION
SPC
Our quality of life, both
personally and professionally,
depends in large part upon the
quality of our communication.
A Communication major at
Augsburg is designed to
enhance understanding of
communication in a variety of
contexts and to improve
communication skills.
Since careers in communication
demand a broad educational
background, the Department
strongly encourages a second
major or two minors in fields
such as business, economics,
English, history, international
relations, political science,
psychology, religion, social
work or sociology.
The Augsburg Communication
major focuses on competency
in both speech and writing, as
well as effective use of media.
Since the study and practice of
communication is grounded in
both the humanities and the
social sciences, majors are
encouraged to include such
related subjects as aesthetics,
ethics, philosophy, logic, literature, statistics and research
methods in their programs.
All Communication majors
must complete a core group of
seven required courses, supplemented by five electives in one
of the following concentrations: public relations and
advertising, marketing communication, human relations, or
supervisory management.
Prospective majors should meet
with a departmental adviser as
early as possible to design an
approved major program,
preferably by the end of the
sophomore year. Majors in
Communication are candidates
for the Bachelor of Arts degree.

ENGLISH - ENC
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
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 some others do,
and understand better the world in
which we live and work.
English relates closely to other
majors. With the other arts,
English is concerned with the
pleasure that comes from artistic
creation and with the contemplation of works of art. With
psychology and sociology, English
is concerned with individual and
group behavior. With philosophy,
English is interested in ideas and
the relation between meaning and
language. With science, English
is interested in discovering order
and determinjng 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 diffe~nt
times and in different d m .
Students with an 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.

NURSING
- NUR
The Augsburg Nursing
Program is designed exclusively for registered nurses
who want to increase their
opportunities in the health
care field.
The scope of nursing practice
is changing and expanding.
Nurses are being called on to
function in a variety of
settings that differ from those
in the past. Today nurses work
in hospitals, clinics, corporations, government agencies,
schools and community organizations; some are selfemployed, running their own
businesses. All of these nurses
provide comprehensive health
assessment for individuals
from all cultures and socioeconomic levels. From helping
parents have safe deliveries of
healthy infants to coordinating
home care for the dying,
nurses assist people through
their entire life span.
The Baccalaureate degree
equips the nurse with a
working knowledge of the
biological, physical, social,
behavioral and nursing
sciences. The nursing program
at Augsburg College also
provides the educational
opportunities to increase skills
in critical thinking, clinical
investigation and decisionmaking that prepare nurses to
handle challenging new positions in today's health care
field.
Augsburg's nursing program,
leading to a Bachelor of
Science degree with a major in
Nursing, is accredited by the
National League for Nursing.
Graduates of the program are
eligible to apply for Public
Health Nurse registration in
Minnesota. With one additional course, they are eligible
to apply for School Nurse
certification.

PSYCHOLOGY
- PSY
Psychology, with its emphasis
on behavioral observation and
data, provides a perspective on
human activities which is an
integral part of liberal education.
The goal of the Psychology
program is the improved understanding of human behavior by
studying how people cope with
their environment and interact
with each other.
Psychologists use a variety of
methods to study behavior,
including experimentation,
observation and clinical case
analysis. Faculty members
have varied professional
specializations such as
counseling, physiological
psychology, human development, personality, social and
organizational psychology,
and analysis of public policy.
The Psychology program's
emphasis on the use of a
problem solving approach, the
acquisition of information
about human development and
interaction, and the development of human relations skills
can be beneficial in careers in
business, education and other
social services, the church,
government, as well as in
careers such as research, law
and medicine. Some courses
may need to be taken on an
evening schedule.

RELIGION- REL
Augsburg College understands
itself as a college of the church
and it is persuaded that the
Christian faith provides an
appropriate perspective from
which to undertake its educational task. The biblical faith
and tradition of the Christian
Church have influenced the
whole world and they have
affected and continue to influence language, literature,
history, values and political
structures.
The student encounters this
religious tradition in studying
these and other areas. The
study of religion and theology
is intended to make such
encounters more meaningful
through a better knowledge of
biblical history and that of the
Christian Church, and by a
broader acquaintance with
theological thought.
While it is true that the fundamental orientation of this
College is to the Christian
faith, it is also true that the
field of religion obviously
includes more than is represented by the Christian faith.
Large segments of the earth's
population live by religious
concepts and ideas which are
different from Christianity.
The Department of Religion
seeks to introduce students to
some of these major religious
traditions.

junior or senior year. Before
taking the seminar, each major
must have written one formal
research paper and placed it
on file with the Department
Chair.
Religion Minor
Five courses.
Other Requirements
Religion 111 or 221 is prerequisite to all other courses and
is to be taken in either the
freshman or sophomore year
at Augsburg. Exceptions may
be made for junior or senior
transfer students, but the basic
courses are still highly recommended as preparation for
Upper Division courses.
Department approval is necessary before courses taken at
other colleges can be accepted
for Religion Department
and/or general education
course credit.
All majors must consult with
the Department Chair.
Completion of this major may
require enrollment in one or
more courses offered in an
evening weekday schedule.

ATENDANCEPOLICY
It is expected that students
attend every class. If more
than one class meeting will be
missed, the student should not
register for the course. Some
faculty and courses require
100 percent attendance for a
student to earn a passing
grade. Most Weekend College
classes meet seven times
during a trimester plus Finals
Class Weekend. Some courses
meet for the entire period on
Finals Class Weekend.
Classes marked with an
asterisk (*) on the Class
Schedule require or recommend that students attend
additional class meetings, the
dates and times of which are
either listed on the course
syllabus or determined by the
class at the first meeting.
CLASSSCHEDULE
There are three trimesters in
Weekend College - Fall,
Winter and Spring. A calendar
of class weekends for each
trimester and a tentative
schedule of courses offered
can be found in the Weekend
College Catalog Supplement.
Many courses are offered at
least once a year; however,
since some courses are offered
in 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
courses offered in the day

involved in student government, and Weekend College
students participate in academic and extracurricular
activities such as the student
newspaper, travel seminars,
and the Weekend College
Commission.
Augsburg Weekend College
continues to develop to meet
the changing needs of the adult
and nontraditional student of
today.
PURPOSE
Augsburg Weekend College
provides an educational alternative to adults who desire
college experience but who
work or have other commitments during the week. It is a
means by which men and
women may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for
professional advancement,
prepare for career change, or
pursue a personal interest in
one or more areas of the
liberal arts.
MISSION
OF THE
COLLEGE
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
to the mission of the College:
To nurture future leaders in
service to the world by
providing high quality educational opportunities, which are
based in the liberal arts and
shaped by the faith and values
of the Christian Church,
by the context of a vital
metropolitan setting, and by
an intentionally diverse
campus community.
THEADULTAS LEARNER A COMMUNITYOF
LEARNERS
Augsburg Weekend College is
designed to meet the needs
and preferences of adult
learners. The program is based
on the assumption that the
men and women who enroll in
Weekend College will be
mature, self-disciplined, and
well-motivated adult learners
who seek a balance of classroom experience and
individualized study. Each
course is therefore divided
into periods of concentrated
on-campus study separated by
time for independent study
and class preparation.
ALTERNATE
WEEKENDS
To accommodate this format
for learning, classes generally
meet on alternate weekends
for three and one-half hours
on either Friday evening,
Saturday morning, Saturday
afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. Each course selected by
the student involves commitment to one of these four class
periods. Laboratory sections or
additional class hours may be
scheduled during the week.
Weekend College students
may take from one to four
courses each term. Selected
courses are also available on
weekday evenings.
Essential to the goals of
Augsburg's Weekend College is
participation in a community of
adult learners. Learning can be
enhanced when the student is
active in a stable community
that provides opportunity and
encouragement for involvement
both in and out of the classroom. This community will be
enriched by the presence of
both men and women with a
variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of
community interaction,
Augsburg encourages Weekend
College students to make use of
College facilities such as the
Lindell Library and the
Christensen Center, to take the
opportunity of having shared
meals and coffee breaks, to
participate in optional lunchtime seminars, and to attend
other College activities such as
music and dramatic presentations and athletic events.
FACULTV
The heart of any educational
institution is its faculty, and
Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence
and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the
doctorate or other terminal
degree and all consider their
teaching to be the focus of their
activity. Faculty are involved in
social, professional, and a
variety of research activities,
but see these activities as
supporting 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.
History
Augsburg College and
Seminary was founded in 1869
in Marshall, Wisconsin, and
moved to Minneapolis in 1872.
In 1963 the name officially
became Augsburg College
when the Seminary left
campus as part of the Lutheran
Free Church merger with the
American Lutheran Church.
Location
Augsburg's 23-acre campus is
in the heart of the Twin Cities
metropolitan area, only blocks
from downtown Minneapolis
and the intersection of Interstate
Highways 94 and 35W. Adjacent
to the campus are the FairviewUniversity Medical Center, the
West Bank campus of the
University of Minnesota, and
the Mississippi River parkways.
Campus
Augsburg's campus consists
of 16 major buildings, which
include student housing
towers, Christensen Center,
main academic and administrative halls, Lindell Library,
Music Hall, and the Foss
Center for Worship, Drama,
and Communication.
Accessibility
We have made a major effort
to become one of the most
accessible campuses in the
region. Our skyway-tunnel
system lets you reach any of 10
major buildings without going
outside. In addition to building
changes, we have a dedicated
program to provide support for
students with disabilities.
Church Affiliation
Augsburg is a college of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America. Although a strong
plurality of students are Lutheran,
20 percent represent other
Protestant denominations and
21 percent represent the Roman
Catholic Church. Several other
affiliations are represented
among students and faculty.
POLICIES
It is the policy of Augsburg
College not to discriminate on
the basis of race, color, creed,
religion, sexual or affectional
preference, national or ethnic
origin, age, marital status,
gender, or status with regard

IX of the 1972 Educational
Amendments or Section 504
of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, as amended, in its

check with the admissions
coordinator and major sections
in this catalog to see if admission to the major is necessary.
~raisferCredit
Augsburg College welcomes
students who wish to transfer
after completing work at other
accredited colleges or univer-
sities. College credit is granted
for liberal arts courses satisfactorily completed at
accredited institutions. The
College reserves the right not
to grant credit for courses
where it considers the work
unsatisfactory, to grant provisional credit for work taken at
unaccredited institutions, and
to require that certain courses
be taken at Augsburg.
Augsburg College limits
transfer of credit from twoyear colleges once a student
has reached junior status. If all
transfer work has been taken
at a two-year college, a
maximum of 17 Augsburg
courses, or 96 quarter credits,
will be accepted toward the
minimum of 33 Augsburg
course credits required for the
baccalaureate degree.
Transfer Credit Evaluation
An evaluation of transfer
credit is completed by the
registrar upon admission for
each degree-seeking student
who is transferring previous
college work. This evaluation
indicates which of the
student's courses have been
accepted for transfer credit at
Augsburg College and how
many course credits the
student has earned in transfer.
The registrar also determines
which transfer courses may be
used to fulfill general education requirements and may
request that the student
provide course descriptions,
syllabi or other information to
assist in this determination.
For an evaluation of transfer
courses toward major, minor,
or licensure requirements, the
student should consult the
appropriate department chair.
ACADEMICADVISING
The Academic Advising
Center advises all incoming
students, provides information
about general education
requirements, administers and
tracks entry level skill assessments, and advises students
placed on academic probation.
The Advising Center also
assists students with degree
planning and assigns each
student to a faculty adviser
during their first term at
Augsburg. The Advising

Federal Stafford Student
Loans

Stafford Loan funds are

lender or state agency in states
that provide such programs.
Subsidized Stafford loans are
need-based loans that the
federal government subsidizes
by paying accrued interest
while in school and during the
grace period. Therefore, the
borrower is not responsible for
interest accrued while in
school or during the six-month
grace period.
Interest begins accruing on the
date of disbursement for the
Unsubsidized Stafford Loan,
A i d
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
be capitalized (added to the
balance of the loan).
The interest rate for borrowers
through the Subsidized and
Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is
variable with a cap of 8.25
percent and changes annually
based on the 91-Day Treasury
Bill. The following borrowing
limits apply to the Stafford
Loan program:

CENTERFOR SERVICE,
WORK,AND LEARNING
The Center for Service, Work,
and Learning is a comprehensive center incorporating an
educational focus emphasizing
the importance and value for
all students to engage in
service and work-based
learning experiences and
design of a four-year career
plan integrating their education
with a vocation and life plan.
The programs of the Center link
employers, community organizations, and the academic
program in a way that enriches
and expands a student's educational experience and personal
development. An underlying
assumption is that a liberal arts
education is an effective preparation for careers and
citizenship. The integration of
'knowing and doing" adds
breadth and depth to the liberal
arts curriculum and assists
students in making more
informed academic, career, and
personal decisions.
The College's metropolitan
location makes possible a wide
range of opportunities. Students
have gained valuable learning
experiences in small and midrange companies, large
corporations, nonprofit organizations, schools, government
agencies, and community-based
organizations.
Cooperative Education
Cooperative education is a
college supported and monitored, paid, work-learning
experience that is closely
related to a student's major or
career objective. The goal is to
combine theory with practice in
work or service-based settings.
Students also earn money to
help defray educational costs
while gaining important on-thejob experience. Cooperative
education jobs are flexible and
can begin and end anytime.
Cooperative education is not
credited in and of itself, but a
non-credit cooperative education transcript entry is
available during the academic
terms the student is employed.
Cooperative education students
are encouraged to complete at
least one internship for credit in
conjunction with their cooperative education participation.
Cooperative education is available to Augsburg students who
have completed their freshman
year and are in good academic
standing.
Academic Internships
An internship for academic
credit is a carefully planned,
work-based learning experience
where a student focuses on
specific academic and individual learning objectives. A
learning agreement plan-negotiated with a faculty supervisor
and work supervisor, outlining
the internship objectives, strategies, and evaluation
methods-is required. 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. Upper division internships are numbered 399 and
lower division internships are
numbered 199.
Information on registering for
internships may be obtained
from the Center for Service,
Work, and Learning.
Internships are available in all
majors and can be taken during
a Weekend College trimester
or summer session. For extension of an internship beyond
one term see the section of the
catalog under grading.
Community
Service-Learning
Augsburg's Community
Service-Learningprogram
combines response to human
needs in the community with a
conscious awareness and
understanding of issues, reflection, and educational growth.
Augsburg students learn from
and about the community and
society in which they live by
participating in orientation
sessions, direct servicelearning activities, and
seminars or class discussions.
Through direct service, such as
volunteering at a homeless
shelter, tutoring, building
housing for low income people,
or working with environmental
groups, students engage in a
dynamic and interactive
educational approach that
employs reciprocal learning
between the student(s) and the
community. Service-learning
includes course-imbedded
community service, tutoring,
internships, cooperative education, and a wide range of
volunteer options.
Career Services
The Career Services Office is
committed to assisting all
students with their career planning. To aid students in this
process, Career Services offers
students the opportunity to
participate actively in career
seminars, career assessments,
one-on-one counseling, selfpaced computer career planning
modules, and use of the Alumni
Resource Network for informational interviews.
CONTINUING
EDUCATION
The mission of Augsburg
College Continuing Education

with lifelong learning opportunities that will enable them to
continue to grow personally,
professionally, and spiritually
in their homes, workplaces, and
communities. Adult students
who wish to earn traditional
course credit that may be
applied toward an undergraduate academic degree should
contact the Weekend College.
DAYPROGRAM

SOMEIMPORTANT
POINTSON
REGISTRATION:
A student must be registered
for a course in order to
receive course credit for it.
A student in Weekend
College is considered fulltime if he or she registers
for two courses per trimester
Students are responsible for
obtaining registration materials from the Weekend
College Office.
A student who has not paid
or made partial payment
prior to the first day of
classes is not registered for
their course(s). The student
may register and confirm the
first class weekend, but late
fees will apply and their
space in the course(s) will
not be held.
CROSSOVER
POLICY
It is expected that Weekend
College students complete
their degree requirements in
the Weekend College
schedule; however, students
may take a course in the day
schedule as a crossover. A
Weekend College student
wishing to attend a day
schedule course, or a day
student wishing to attend a
course in Weekend College,
must schedule at the Office of
the Registrar. Students taking
courses in both the day
program and Weekend
College program schedules
that total three or more
courses on any given date will
be charged comprehensive day
program tuition. A Weekend
College student taking one day
schedule course and who has
fewer than three total courses
will be charged the current
part-time tuition for day
school.
Students will also follow these
guidelines:
Students may cross over for
one full course credit per
term.
The course selected must
have space available.
Weekend College students
may not cross over to attend
ACTC (Associated Colleges
of the Twin Cities) courses,
except when required by the
major to do so.
Courses cross-listed in the
Weekend College schedule
and the day schedule are not
subject to cross over policy.
Contact the Office of the
Registrar for more information
on the crossover policy.
WITHDRAWING
FROM
COURSES
Students may drop (also
referred to as canceling or
withdrawing) a particular
course by completing a
CancelIAddChange of
Registration form at the Office
of the Registrar before the
deadline (published in the
Weekend College Catalog
Supplement). Dropping a class
will result in a W for withdrawal on an official academic
record. Students are urged not
to abandon courses for which
they are registered because this
may result in a failing grade on
their official academic record.
The refund schedule is listed
on page 14. Note: A student
may withdraw after the refund
schedule has expired.
WITHDRAWAL
FROM
COLLEGE
Students who do not intend to
continue at Augsburg must file
a Withdrawal from College
form at the Office of the
Registrar. This is not necessary
if the student is taking a term
off; however, Weekend
College students who do not
attend courses for three
consecutive trimesters
(excluding summer) are
considered inactive and must
file an Application for
Re-admission form with the
Office of the Registrar in order
to resume their academic
program. Students are responsible for keeping the Office of
the Registrar informed of their
mailing address.
SYLLABUS
A syllabus is a course outline
written by the instructor that
may include a course description
and objectives, required text@),
course schedule, grading criteria,
and assignments. A syllabus is
especially important in Weekend
College because it advises the
student of any assignment due
the first class weekend. Students
are responsible for picking up
the course syllabus at the times
published in The Weekender,
the Weekend College informational publication.
EVALUATION AND
C RADING
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 scale or the
Pass/No Credit system, in
which P means a grade of 2.0
or better and N means no
credit and a grade of less than
2.0. Students 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.
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 graduation with distinction.
Transfer students should be
especially aware of this
requirement.
See P/N limitations under
Graduation Requirements on
page 29.
Note: Certain courses are
offered on one grading system
only (e.g., Lifetime Sports are
graded P/N only).
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. A fee is charged for
any changes made after the
published deadline for dropping without record notation.
I n f o r m a t i o n .
NUMERIC
GRADES
Numeric grades are used with
these definitions:
4.0 Achieves highest
standards of excellence
3.0 Achieves above basic
course standards
2.5
2.0 Meets basic standards
for the course
1.0 Performance below basic
course standards
0.5
0.0 Unacceptable performance
(no credit for the course)
Grades of P (Pass) or N (No
credit) are not computed in the
grade point average.
An incomplete grade (I) may
be given only in the case of
extreme emergency. To
receive an incomplete grade, a
student must receive permission of the instructor and must
file a form with the Registrar's
Office stating the reasons for
the request, the work required
to complete the course, the
plan and date for completing
the work, and comments from
the instructor. The necessary
work must be completed in
enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the
instructor and filing of a grade
before the final day of the
following trimester. If the
work is not completed by that
date, the grade for the course
becomes a 0.0.
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 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 than
one year). An instructor has
the option of not giving an X
where satisfactory progress is
not demonstrated.
REPEATING
COURSES
A course in which a grade of
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
and grades earned each term
remain on the academic
record. Only the credits and
grades earned the second time,
for legitimately repeated
courses, are counted toward
graduation and in the grade
point average.
AUDITINGCOURSES
Students who wish to take
courses without credit or grade
may do so by registering for
Audit (V). The charge for
auditing is listed in the current
year's Weekend College
Catalog Supplement. The
signature of the instructor is
required to register an audit.
Students who audit a course
should confer with the
instructor two weeks prior to
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 (Withdrawn).
Courses for which transfer
credit has been awarded may
not be repeated for credit at
Augsburg. This includes
courses that are substantially
similar despite different titles
or emphases.
GRADEPOINTAVERAGE
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 course
credits attempted.*
* Using traditionally graded
course credits only.
CLASSIFICATION
Student classifications are
updated in August and at the
end of the fall trimester.
Sophomores-Seven
credits completed.
course
Juniors - 16 course credits
completed.
Seniors-24 course credits
completed.
ACADEMIC
PROGRESS,
~ROBAT~O
AND
N
DISMISSAL
The College requires that
students maintain the
following cumulative grade
point averages (GPA):
Freshman-A student who has
taken fewer than seven credits
with a cumulative GPA of 1.6
or higher
Sophomore-A student who
has taken fewer than 16
credits with a cumulative GPA
of 1.7 or higher
Junior-A student who has
taken fewer than 24 credits
with a cumulative GPA of 1.9
or higher
Senior-A student who has
taken 24 or more credits with
a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or
higher.
It should be noted that a
minimum GPA of 2.0 is
required for graduation with
certain majors requiring a
higher minimum GPA.
Students whose academic
achievement falls below these
guidelines will either be placed
on scholastic probation at the
end of the term, will be
continued on probation, or will
be dismissed from the College.
In addition, a freshman who
receives two zero grades or a
sophomore who receives three
zero grades will be considered
for probation or dismissal.
However, dismissal from the
College is not automatic. Each
case is reviewed by the
Committee on Student
Standing. Evidence of the
student's commitment to academic progress is the major
consideration in deciding
whether or not to dismiss a
student. Those on probation
who voluntarily withdraw from
the College, as well as those
who are dismissed, must have
special permission to re-enroll.
Students may be removed
from probation when the
cumulative GPA reaches the
minimum level stated above.
Students placed on probation
as freshmen for having earned
two zero grades may be
removed from probation if
their classification changes to
sophomore, if they have not
earned additional zero grades,
and if their cumulative GPA
reaches 1.7. Students placed
on probation as sophomores,
juniors, and seniors for having
earned three zero grades may
be removed from probation if
their classification changes to
junior and their cumulative
GPA reaches 1.9.
The College reserves the right
to dismiss any student who
does not meet the guidelines
stated above. Once a student is
dismissed, he or she may
appeal the decision within 10
days to the Committee on
Student Standing.
A c a d e m i c
I
DEAN'S
LIST
The Dean's List is compiled
after each trimester, listing
students whose grade point
average for a trimester is 3.5
or better. Students must be
full-time (a minimum two full
course credits for a Weekend
College student), graded on
the traditional grading system,
with no incompletes in courses

announcement is sent to the
hometown newspaper of each

ASSESSMENT
OF
PREVIOUS
LEARNING
(APL) PROGRAM
Augsburg College recognizes
that learning can and does take
place in many life situations.
Some of this learning may be
appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that
compose the academic
program of a liberal arts
college. The Assessment of
Previous Learning (APL)
program at Augsburg provides
a means by which a student's
previous learning, other than
that which is transferred from
another accredited institution,
may be presented for examination for possible credit toward
the completion of a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life
experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at
a liberal arts college. Such
learning must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to
course work in a field of study
within the Augsburg liberal
arts curriculum and (2) it can
be objectively demonstrated
either by comprehensive
examination or committee
evaluation.
The APL program at
Augsburg provides several
means by which students may
have their previous learning
assessed for credit recognition.
The following is a brief
description of each of these
means of assessment:
The College Level
Examination Program
(CLEP)
This is a series of standardized
tests which have been developed by the College Board
and are offered to students for
a small fee at regional testing
centers. (The regional testing
center for this area is the
University of Minnesota.)
Students who score at or
above the 65th percentile on a
subject examination may
.
.
receive academic credit for
that subject at Augsburg
College. Additional information about CLEP tests is
available from the Office of
the Registrar.
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
instrument 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 passlno credit basis only,
and there is a charge per
exam of one-half of tuition
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 and/or
systematic study of content
material found within liberal
arts course work.
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 four course
credits of academic work at
Augsburg College with a
cumulative Augsburg GPA of
at least 2.5. It is strongly
recommended that the process
not be used when four or
fewer courses remain for graduation. There is an application
deposit to initiate the credit
assessment process and a
charge for each semester
credit applied to the student's
transcript if credit is approved.
Transcript credit will be
granted on the basis of
semester credits, and the total
number of credits granted will
be divided by four to determine the number of course
credits applied to graduation.
These credits will be recorded
with the course number of
APL 2xx. Application of this
credit toward the Liberal Arts
Perspective requirements,
upper division requirements,
and academic majors and
minors may be subsequently
addressed by the associate
academic dean in response to
a formal request by the
student.
Maximum Credit Accepted
for Previous Learning
While Augsburg College
recognizes the validity of
learning that takes place
outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be
I
.
.
placed in the context of formal
study in campus-based liberal
arts courses. Therefore,
Augsburg places a maximum
of eight course credits (about
one-fourth of a baccalaureate
degree) on transcript credit
that is obtained through
previous experiential learning.
In compiling the eight courses
of credit for previous experiential learning, the student
may use any combination of
assessment processes available
in the APL program: CLEP
exams, departmental exams,
and credit granted through
portfolio assessment.
Lifetime SportsAssessment of Previous
Learning (APL) Program
Students in the Weekend
College may complete one of
the two required graduation
skills of Lifetime Sports
through the APL process. The
Lifetime Sports graduation
skills are non-academic
courses and no credit is earned
by their completion; however,
fulfillment of two Lifetime
Sports is necessary to graduate. There is a fee for each
Lifetime Sport completed by
APL. Additional information
about Lifetime Sports APL is
available from the Weekend
College Office.

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 rapidlygrowing companies.
The two professional specializations relate to two
professional designations: the
CPA and the CMA. A CPA
(Certified Public Accountant)
focuses on external reporting;
a CMA (Certified Management
Accountant) 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.
Designations 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
during their last semester.
Accounting Core:
14 courses are required for
this major (an exception to
the 13-course limitation):
(It is recommended that
students take the courses in
the sequence given below.)

ART, STUDI-ART
A liberal arts college like
Augsburg is an ideal setting
for the study of art because it
provides a constant possibility
for the interaction of ideas,
disciplines, and attitudes. At
Augsburg, art study is further
enhanced by associations with
a significant number of art
galleries and museums in the
Twin Cities area.
Hundreds of specific careers
exist in the general area of art,
such as teaching in the public
schools and colleges,
ceramics, interior design,
photography, film and video
work, painting, gallery and
museum work, and design.

COMMUNICATIONSPC
Our quality of life, both
personally and professionally,
depends in large part upon the
quality of our communication.
A communication major at
Augsburg is designed to
enhance understanding of
communication in a variety of
contexts and to improve
communication skills.
Since careers in communication demand a broad
educational background, the
department strongly encour-
ages a second major or two
minors in fields such as business, economics, English,
history, international relations,
political science, psychology,
religion, social work, sociology, or theatre arts.
SPC 351
Argumentation
The Augsburg communication
major focuses on competency
in both speech and writing as
well as effective use of media.
Since the study and practice of
communication is grounded in
both the humanities and the
social sciences, majors are
encouraged to include such
related subjects as aesthetics,
ethics; philosophy, logic, literature, statistics, and research
methods in their programs.
SPC 355
Small Group Communication
All communication majors
must complete a core group of
seven required courses, supplemented by five electives in one

Licensure in EnglishLanguage Arts
Students preparing to teach
English-Language Arts on the
high school level must complete,
in addition to the professional
requirements to be met within
the Department of Education, a
competency program designed to
provide a foundation in English.
Specific requirements for the
English-language arts licensure
program are outlined under the
English major in this catalog
and are subject to change per
the Department of Education.
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 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
some others do, and understand better the world in
which we live and work.
English relates closely to other
majors. With the other arts,
English is concerned with the
pleasure that comes from
artistic creation and with the
contemplation of works of art.
With psychology and sociology, English is concerned
with individual and group
behavior. With philosophy,
English is interested in ideas
and 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
indifferent cultures.

adviser regularly. A student
with a double major or special
program that involves considerable work in the English
Department should also work
closely with an adviser in the
English Department.
Note: Transfer students must
take at least three of their
English courses at Augsburg.
English-Language Arts
Teaching Major:
10 courses, including those
listed under the major, and:
ENG 345
Introduction to the English
Language
ENG 399
Internship in Teaching Writing
EDS 364
English Methods
and one course with a component in non-Western literature
(for example, ENG 361
Studies in Modern Fiction).
In addition, two ACTC
courses-Communications Skills
in the English Classroom and
Teaching Mass Media-are
required. Courses in early
American literature,
Shakespeare, and film are
recommended. Some of the
required courses, including the
internship, are not offered on
weekends. Students in this
program 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
requirements in the major.
Transfer students with a B.A.
in English from another college
must take at least two of their
English courses at Augsburg
(preferably upper division
courses). These courses must
be taken before the department
can recommend a student for
student teaching. Students
should consult the English
Department chair soon after
enrolling.
Prerequisites
ENG 111 Effective Writing is
strongly recommended but not a
prerequisite for a lower
division literature course.
Prerequisite for an upper
division literature course is ENG
245 or consent of the instructor.
Minor:
Five courses above ENG 111
including ENG 245; an upper
division literature course; and
an additional writing course.
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 which makes scattered
individuals into a community."
The English Placement Test:
A writing sample is required
of students to determine their
placement in an appropriate
writing class. Students who do
not show competence in
composition skills such as
stating and supporting a thesis,
organizing clearly, and
constructing paragraphs and
sentences are required to
enroll in ENG 101
Developmental Writing, where
they will receive more individual instruction than is
possible in ENG 11I Effective
Writing. These students must
pass ENG 101 Developmental
Writing before enrolling in
ENG 111 Effective Writing.
HISTORY-HIS
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 several fields, and a wide
range of employment opportunities that require abilities in
communication, conceptualhtion,
and processing of information.

NURSING-NUR
The Augsburg nursing
program is designed exclusively for registered nurses
who want to increase their
opportunities in the health
care field.
The scope of nursing practice
is changing and expanding.
Nurses are being called on to
function in a variety of
settings that differ from those
in the past. Today nurses work
in hospitals, clinics, corporations, government agencies,
schools, and community organizations; some are selfemployed, running their own
businesses. Nurses provide
health care for individuals
from all cultures and socioeconomic levels throughout their
life span.
The bachelor's degree equips
nurses with a working knowledge of the biological,
physical, social, behavioral,
and nursing sciences. The
nursing program at Augsburg
also provides the educational
opportunities to increase
skills in critical thinking,
clinical investigation and
decision-making that prepare
nurses to handle challenging
new positions in today's
health care field.
Augsburg's nursing program,
leading to a Bachelor of
Science degree with a major in
nursing, is accredited by the
National League for Nursing.
Graduates of the program are

PSYCHOLOGY-PSY
Psychology is an exploration
of behavior and mental
processes. As an integral part
of a liberal arts education,
psychology contributes to the
understanding of individual
and group behavior.
Psychology's scientific
method also equips students to
understand and use scientific
research and to make more
informed judgments about
claims in the popular media.
To prepare students for graduate study and work in
psychology, the major emphasizes the complementary
components of a strong foundation in research and
theoretical work with application of knowledge and skills in
coursework, research experience, and internships within
the community. The curriculum's emphasis on
problem-solving skills and
current information about
human development and interaction is also relevant to
careers in many related
settings-business, education,
social services, research, law,
government, church, and
medicine.
Faculty members in the
Department of Psychology
have varied professional
specializations-clinical,
counseling, physiological,
developmental, social, cognitive, environmental, and
industriallorganizational
psychology-as well as expertise in psychological
applications to health, law,
and public policy. Students
may tap this expertise through
a variety of learning experiences-within and outside the
classroom, with group and
individual projects, and
through association with
Augsburg's active Psychology
Club, Psi Chi Honor Society,
and faculty-student research
teams.

Transfer course policy for
majors and minors: all transfer
courses, including ACTC
courses, must be approved in
writing by the chair. Only
those psychology courses
successfully completed (2.0 or

RELIGION-REL
Religion asks fundamental
questions of life and meaning.
Who are we as human beings?
Where did we come from?
Where did the world come
from? What do good and evil
mean in this time and place?
Students will wrestle with
these questions and with
responses from the Christian
traditions and from the
perspectives of the other major
world religions.
Through this study of religion,
students will learn to understand, appreciate, and
articulate the Christian faith,
as based in the Bible, as lived
in the Christian fellowship, as
embodied in the Christian
Church and its history, and as
interactive in the contemporary world and with other
world religions. Students will
also develop the ability to read
and interpret the Bible, other
religious texts, and various
expressions and practices of
faith so that their meaning for
human life in relation to God
becomes evident. In addition
students will develop skills for
becoming leaders in the religious communities to which
they belong and for living as
responsible citizens with
others whose religious views
and practices differ from their
own. A religion major encourages students to seek their
future in the world and/or
church through a sense of
vocation, serving as pastors,
associates in ministry, nurses,
and youth and family ministry
lay professionals in congregations, and as social service and
human resource professionals
in a wide variety of settings.

other colleges can be accepted
for Religion Department
course credit.
All majors must consult with
the department chair.
Completion of this major may
require enrollment in one or
more courses offered in an
evening weekday schedule.
Religion Minor
Five religion courses.
Note: Not all courses that meet
the Christian faith perspective
are religion courses. Only
Religion Department courses

SOCIAL WORK-SWK
The Social Work major
prepares graduates for entrylevel generalist professional
practice in the field of social
work. The program is accredited by the Council on Social
Work Education and leads to a
Bachelor of Science degree.
The program is based on a
generalist model of practice,
enabling graduates to work
with individuals, families,
groups, and communities, and
to develop and analyze social
policy. Courses within the
program utilize a student
empowerment model for
teaching and learning.

POLICY
E
It is expected that students
attend every class. If more
than one class meeting will be
missed, the student should not
register for the course. Some
faculty and courses require
100 percent attendance for a
student to earn a passing
grade. Most Weekend College
classes meet seven times
during a trimester plus Finals
Class Weekend. Some courses
meet for the entire period on
Finals Class Weekend.
Classes marked with an
asterisk (*) on the Class
Schedule require or recommend that students attend
additional class meetings, the
dates and times of which are
either listed on the course
syllabus or determined by the
class at the first meeting.
CLASSSCHEDULE
There are three trimesters in
Weekend College-fall,
winter, and spring. A calendar
of class weekends for each
trimester and a tentative
schedule of courses offered
can be found in the Weekend
College Catalog Supplement.
Many courses are offered at
least once a year; however,
since some courses are offered
in 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
courses offered in the day
schedule, January Interim,
Summer School, the Master of
Arts in Leadership, and the
Master of Social Work
programs are published in
separate publications.
NUMBERING
Courses numbered below 300
are lower division courses.
Courses numbered 300 and
above are classified as upper
division.
CREDITS
One course credit at Augsburg
is approximately equivalent to
four semester credits or six
quarter credits.
The majority of Augsburg
courses are one course credit.
Some courses in the education, health and physical
education, and music departments have .5 credit value
(one-half course) or .25 credit
value (one-quarter course).
A prerequisite is a course or a
specific skill level, e.g. Math
Placement Level, which must
be completed before the
student enrolls in a higherlevel course. Prerequisites are
listed in the course description. When a prerequisite has
not been fulfilled, a student

"'r
1 he most important key to developing a collective will to
overcome many of our commonplace problems is leadership.
Certainly leadership is characterized by more than knowing. It is
also more than acting. It is ultimately defined in coalescing others
to act when they otherwise might not have. Leadership, including
teacher leadership, is ultimately proven in the efforts of others to
attempt to scale heights of human achievement and plunge depths
of human caring not otherwise envisioned."

Attendance Policy
Because leadership issues are presented, discussed and analyzed in the classroom, regular attendance is highly important and should be considered a responsibility, not only to
one's self, but to one's classmates and the course instructor.
Irregular attendance may, at the discretion of the instructor,
adversely affect one's grade.

6,Jntroduction to the
Master of Arts in
Education-Leadership
Developing Leaders for Education
The Masters of Arts in Education-Leadership is a program for
educators who value and enjoy their direct contact with
students and want to retain that focu in their careers. It is a
program that at the outset promotes the imp rtance of teaching.
It is also a program that values the role educators can play as
leaders within their places of work.
People who become part of this Master of Arts program will
have opportunities to:
• Examine what "leadership" is and who leads;
• Explore who they are as leaders, both within an educational
setting and outside of it;
• Gain specific knowledge of education and leadership that
can support their development; and
• Develop skills that can increase the effectiveness of their
leadership.
This program values the role that good educators play in the
lives of students and operates from the belief that educators
need to exercise leadership within the workplace without relinquishing the role of teacher.
Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule
The Master of Arts in L adership pr gram is designed to meet
the needs and preferences ol working adults. The pr gram is
bas don the assum,ption that the men and women who enroll
are employed, self-disciplined and well-motivated individuals
who seek a balance of classroom experience, group interaction
and individual study. Each course is, therefore, divided into
period of tudy, group effort and clas pr paration. To accommodate this format for learning, each cla s meet on alternate Saturdays for thr e-and- ne-half hours and alternate
Thursday evenings for one-and-one-half hours.
Leadership Development Model
Th Ma ter of Art in Education-L adership program promotes
leadership as a pl'oce which 1) inspires cooperation among
people who must compete for limit d resource , 2) pr motes
productivity within and beyond the organizati n, and 3) works
toward progress. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to
positions of leadership must possess thre k y attributes: a
sen e of vision, the ability to persuade and the ability to direct
action. Underlying thes attributes is a broad range of abilities
and awarenesse . Thes abilitie and awarenesses, outlined in
the diagram on page 7, serve as specific outcomes for the
Leadership Development Model

Master of Arts in Education-Leadership. Augsburg's model of
leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance
and refine these capabilities within the individual.
Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of the Master of Arts in Education-Leadership is participation in a community of learners. Learning can be
enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community
that provides opportunity and encouragement for active participation both in and out of the classroom. This community will be
enriched by the presence of men and women who bring to the
program a variety of work and life experiences.
. ...
To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg
encourages graduate students to make use of college facilities
such as the library, meeting rooms and the Christensen Center; to
take the opportunity to share meals and coffee breaks; to participate in optional lunchtime seminars; and to attend other college
activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic
events.
Leadership Practicum
Master of Arts in Education-Leadership students enroll in a half
course called "Leadership Practicum." Students are required to
enroll in this professional assessment and development course
for six terms during their graduate work at Augsburg. Upon
completion of the entire practicum, students receive a half-course
credit.
Early in the program a major component of this practicum is a
full day professional assessment to determine students' abilities
and potential relative to each of the outcomes of the Leadership
Development Model (see page 3). Assessment instruments
include paper and pencil exercises and simulation and group
experiences. Following the assessment, students meet individually with a trained assessor who provides guidance in personal
goal setting and in the creation of a professional development
plan focused on dimensions of leadership.
In subsequent terms "Leadership Practicum" includes workshops designed to meet the needs of students in the following
areas: communication skills, self-assessment measures, group
processes, and other professional development topics identified
by graduate students and staff. These workshops are developed
by students enrolled in the course "Creativity and Problem
Framing. " The Assessment and Leadership Practicum also asks
students to focus on leadership opportunity within their
workplace, or in an appropriate volunteer setting. Students will
develop a learning agreement which outlines the scope of their
project and what they hope to accomplish and learn through that
project. Students will be supported throughout this project by
peer and faculty coaching sessions which meet as an ongoing
part of the Assessment and Leadership Practicum.

1 he most important key
to developing a collective will to
overcome many of our commonplace problems is leadership.
Certainly leadership is characterized by more than knowing. It is
also more than acting. It is ultimately defined in coalescing others
to act when they otherwise might not have. Leadership, including
teacher leadership, is ultimately proven in the efforts of others to
attempt to scale heights of human achievement and plunge depths
of human caring not otherwise envisioned."

Introduction to the Master
of Arts in EducationLeadership
Developing Leaders for Education
The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership is a program for
educators who value and enjoy their direct contact with
students and want to retain that focus in their careers. It is a
program that at the outset promotes the importance of teaching.
It is also a program that values the roles educators can play as
leaders in their places of work.
People who become part of this Master of Arts program will
have opportunities to:
• Examine what '1eadership" is and who leads;
• Explore who they are as leaders, both within an educational
setting and outside of it;
• Gain specific knowledge of education and leadership that
can support their development; and
• Develop skills that can increase the effectiveness of their
leadership.
This program values the role that good educators play in the
lives of students and operates from the belief that educators
need to exercise leadership within the workplace without
relinquishing the role of teacher.
Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule
The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership program is
designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults.
TI1e program is based on the assumption that the men and
women who enroll are employed, self-disciplined and wellmotivated individuals who seek a balance of classroom experience, group interaction and individual study. Each course is,
therefore, divided into periods of study, group efforts and class
preparation. To accommodate this format for learning, each
class meets on alternate Saturdays for three-and-one-half hours

Leadership Development Model
The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership program promotes
leadership as a process which 1) inspires cooperation among
people who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes
productivity within and beyond the educational organization,
and 3) works toward progress within the educational community. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of
leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision,
the ability to persuade and the ability to direct action. Th ese
abilities and awarenesses, outlined in the diagram on page 5,

serve as specific outcomes for the Master of Arts in EducationLeadership. Augsburg's model of leadership development is
designed to assess, promote, enhance and refine these capabilities within the individual.
Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of the Master of Arts in EducationLeadership is participation in a community of learners. Leaming can be enhanced when the student is involved in a stable
community that provides opportunity and encouragement for
active participation both in and out of the classroom. This
community will be enriched by the presence of men and
women who bring to the program a variety of life and work
experiences.
-. '
~·
..
To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg
encourages graduate students to make use of college facilities
such as the library, meeting rooms and the Christensen Center;
to take the opportunity to share meals and coffee breaks; to
participate in optional lunchtime seminars; and to attend other
college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and
athletic events.
Leadership Practicum
Master of Arts in Education-Leadership students enroll in a half
course called "Leadership Practicum." Students are required to
enroll in this professional assessment and development course
for six terms during their graduate work at Augsburg. Upon
completion of the entire practicum sequence, students receive a
half-course credit.
Early in the program, a major component of the practicum is a
full day assessment to determine students' abilities and potential relative to each of the outcomes of the Leadership Development Model. Assessment instruments include paper and p_encil
exercises and simulation and group experiences. Following the
assessment, students meet individually with a trained assessor
who provides guidance in personal goal setting and in the
creation of a professional development plan focused on dimensions of leadership.
In subsequent terms, "Leadership Practicum" includes workshops designed to meet the needs of students in the following
areas: communication skills, self-assessment measures, group
processes and other professional development topics as identified and designed by participants. Also included is the opportunity for participants to develop and monitor a leadership
project within their workplace.
Curriculum Design
The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership is composed of ten
course credits composed of eight full credit and four half credit
courses. Each course uses a variety of learning techniques
appropriate to adult learners including case study, debate,
written and oral seminar presentations and small group
activity. These courses develop targeted leadership abilities and
understandings as a boundary crossing endeavor in need of the
leadership skills and visions of people from all levels of an
organization.
The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership will provide
opportunities for students to:

No more than two courses with a grade of or below 2.5 can be
repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the second time
are counted in the grade point average.
Attendance Policy
Because leadership issues are presented, discussed and analyzed
in the classroom, regular attendance is highly important and

to one's classmates and course instructor. Irregular attendance
may, at the discretion of the instructor, adversely affect one's
grade.

the student may be dismissed from the program by the Master of
Arts in Education-Leadership Program Committee. Students
may also be dismissed by the Master of Arts in EducationLeadership Program Committee for behavior detrimental to the
program, such as a gross violation of college policy (as published
in the Student Guide). Dismissal would occur only after established procedures were followed.
Credit for Prior Education

the power to influence policy, curriculum and procedures
within the individual school and the school district. It means
teachers having responsibility for instruction of children,

influence what happens in schools.''

As practitioners, teachers are
concerned with enhancing their
teaching skills and their
students' learning. As
professionals, teachers are
increasingly responsible for and
concerned about educ;ational
decision-making. Augsburg
College offers a program that
addresses this dual focus of
classroom practitioner and
teacher leader. The Master of
Arts in Education-Leadership
(MEL) program offers opportunities to increase knowledge and
skills (1) for teaching today and
(2) for leading education into
the future. This program values
the role that good teachers play
in the lives of students and operates from the belief that teachers
can exercise leadership, inside
and outside the classroom,
without relinquishing the role of
teacher .
The Minnesota Board of
Teaching, in its requirements for
teacher licensure programs,
acknowledges the importance of
developing teachers who have
the knowledge and skill to act as
leaders, or change agents.
Beginning teachers, however,
often feel overwhelmed with
issues of classroom practice;
thus, it is logical to offer a
program which includes a
"change agent" focus at the
degree level sought by veteran
teachers. The MEL program
incorporates an educational
leadership focus alongside the
more traditional classroom practice focus to address the
expanded role teachers play in
today's schools .
As a part of this program you
will:
• Study issues of classroom
practice, including teaching
and learning, creativity, and
multi-cultural ism;
• Gain specific know ledge of
educational institutions and
processes;
• Examine who and what leadership is about and explore
ways to exercise leadership
within your workplace;
• Develop expertise in an area
of personal interest through an
individualized, capstone
research project.

~ADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL
..
.,
The MEL program promotes
leadership as a process which
I) inspires cooperation among
people, 2) promotes productivity
within and beyond the educational organization, and
3) works toward growth and
change within the educational
organization. Individuals in
leadership roles identify three
key attributes of leadership: a
sense of vision, the ability to
persuade, and the ability to
direct action. These attributes
form the framework for the
Leadership Developm~nt Model

Leadership Courses
(4.5-6.5 course credits)
These courses are required of
students pursuing the MEL
degree and are not available to
students who are not enrolled in

leadership courses provide
students with a supportive framework within which to investigate
leadership and the institution of
education, to consider themselves as leaders, and to develop
expertise in a topic of choice.
Both thesis and applied project
options are available as capstone

These courses are available to
degree seeking students but are
not available to non-degree
seeking students. For students
wanting to explore issues of
leadership and organizational
change within a broader context,
the MEL program will allow up
to two electives from the Master
of Arts in Leadership program.
These courses become part of
the Focus II component of the
MEL program. See the Master
of Arts in Leadership program
bulletin for courses.
Some students express a theoretical and/or empirical interest in
the study of education and/or
leadership and identify topics
which lend themselves to a
more traditional thesis project.
An example of a thesis project
would be a comparison of the
effects of two instructional
strategies on student learning.
The connection to leadership
comes as the thesis writer
considers how to share his/her
expertise with others.

P rnjed:
At, or near, the completion of
the course work for the MEL
program, students are required
to develop and carry out a study
or project related to education
and leadership. The focus can be
on an issue in education with
opportunities for personal
leadership, or it can focus on
leadership itself within the
context of education. This
research-based capstone
experience affords students the
opportunity to become an expert
in an area of personal interest as
well as to "tie together" what
has been learned throughout the
MEL program. Students have
the option to select either a
Thesis or a Leadership
Application Project. The decision as to which of these
alternatives is selected depends
Other students express interest
in an applied project which
includes the development and
implementation of an idea
related to education. These
students find the Leadership
Application Project to be the
appropriate culminating
experience. An example of a
leadership application project is
one which includes the development and implementation of a
peer mediation training program
at the middle school level.
Leadership issues emerge as
part of the training of students
and staff in the use of the
program.
In both capstone experiences,
research forms the foundation
for decision-making and
direction.

Because limited financial aid
from Augsburg College may or
may not be available students and
their sponsor must complete a
Declaration of Finances as part of
the application for admission, along
with appropriate certifications.
Students will need to provide
proof of availability of funds for
tuition, books and living costs.
For the 1994-1995 academic year,
we require students to provide
proof of a minimum of $10,000 in
U.S. funds for living expenses
plus the cost of tuition must be
added to this amount. Students
wishing to have spouses and/or
children accompany them, must
plan on having additional funds
available for their support.
