The College follows a 4-1-4 calendar, with Fall and Spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week January Interim. Interim is particularly intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as they would for a four-course load during Fall or Spring semesters. Students can register for only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course. Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale. Students generally have the option to register on a PassINo Credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the P/N system; this is indicated in the course description. Some courses are offered for either upper or lower division credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and the student must select which is most appropriate for their needs. Students registering for upper division credit should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard. Some courses, especially courses with travel requirements, have additional fees associated with them. These fees, although intended to be accurate, may change and students should check with the instructor to verify the final costs. To graduate, an Augsburg student who is under the Distribution requirements is required to complete three Interim courses. For a student under the Liberal Arts Perspective requirements, two Interim courses are required. For any student entering after January 1993 a maximum of two Interim course credits may be counted toward the 33 total credits required for graduation. The number of required Interim courses is adjusted for transfer students. Transfer students should refer to their transfer credit evaluation form, or consult the Registrar. Additional Interim credits which can count toward the 33 credits required may be taken by students who repeat a credit for a course in which a grade below 2.0 was earned, or who need to make up for a regular term in which they failed or withdrew from a course. Additional Interim courses not counted toward the 33 credits required may be used to fulfill other degree requirements. That is, no more than two Interim course credits may be taken for credit toward 33, but additional Interim experiences may be used to fulfill major, minor or general education requirements. Day School students (3.0 credits or more for Fall) can take a total of 1.0 course credits. They may take two half credit classes. They may also take a lifetime sport (zero credit). The lifetime sport is at no additional charge if they are full-time (Fall term). If less than full-time they will be charged. Weekend students can take 1.0 course credits in Interim which is a Cross-Over, but will be charged Day School prices ($1,270). They also can only then take 1.0 course credits in Weekend College. It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the basis of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or handicap as required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, in its admissions policies, educational programs, activities and employment practices.

Additional descriptions and information about these courses are available in the Interim Office, Memorial 230. Students may also register for one of the lifetime sports listed at the end of the catalog. International Interim -Students are invited to be part of one of the 24 international Interim courses offered by the Upper Midwest Association for International Education (UMAIE).See page 48 for course listings. Internships deadline - Friday, December 9. January Interim internships must be planned in advance. Students electing an internship must meet departmental require ments and present a signed internship learning agreement plan to the Internship Office (Murphy Place, Rrn. 8) no later than the last day of Fall classes (Friday, December 9). The Learning Agreement forms are available in the same office. Internships during Interim must involve full-time work placements for approximately four weeks. Assistance for planning your internship is available in the Internship and Cooperative Education Office. Independent or Directed Study - Students may elect a program of independent study (upper division 499) or directed study (lower division 299) for Interim. Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent study per Interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or directed study must: 1. Meet departmental requirements. 2. Present to the Registrar a copy of the proposed study plan approved by the supervising faculty member and the directedlindependent study registration form. These forms must be submitted by November 28. Appropriate study proposal and registration forms can be obtained in the Interim Office. Interims at Other Schools - Augsburg students may enroll at any other 41-4 institution which offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these Interim programs can be consulted in the Interim Office. The Interim Secretary will help students in applying for registration at other schools. Registration for Interims at the other ACTC colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Most courses taught during Interim at other 4-1-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but might not meet Augsburg's general education requirements. This qualification particularly affects religion courses. Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-1-4 schools for the January Interim without tuition charges provided the student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special fees, housing or board costs. Other students will be charged $1,270 for the Interim course. Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write to the Interim Director for application forms or use the forms provided by the Interim office at their own school. There is an application processing fee of $10. Students are welcome to stay on campus but are not required to do so. Requests for Interim housing should be made to the Interim Office. It should be noted that neither ACTC exchange students nor visiting students may register for 299 or 499 courses.

Prerequisites: ECO 1 12 or ECO 1 13 or consent of Instructor Maximum Enrollment: I S Time: I Room: Memorial Hall 323 CHM 100-A lnstructoc Arlin Cyberg This is a non-laboratory chemistry course based on the popular book by John W. Hill of the same title. It is not a traditional chemistry course and does not assume a science background. Basic science and math are introduced early and taught as needed for understanding the various topics and implications. The course does assume the student is interested in and concerned about the relationship of chemistry to life and living. Chemistry has been intimately a part of liberal education for centuries. The early scientists were considered to be philosophers and their societies were philosophical societies. In recent decades the human seeking of personal independence has led to chemistry becoming a part of everyday life to the point of actual dependence on chemistry. We live in a world of pesticides, fertilizers, plastics, "the Pill", food additives and processed foods, vitamin supplements, the energy crisis, chemical dependency, biocides, pollutants, drugs, searching for life on other planets, genetic manipulation, and it goes on and on. Emotions and mental disorders can often be traced to chemical imbalance. The common dragged out, grumpy feeling after an afternoon nap is a result of a chemical imbalance. The nature of a hangover is the result of a complex system of altered body chemistry. Even learning appears to be the result of chemical reaction to form a "memory molecule". Most of the problems we face are molecular in nature. What then but chemistry can better help us to understand ourselves, our society, our world, and our universe? Come join us as we take a molecular look at the human condition. This course will be offered in a lecture/discussion format. Films will supplement the lecture/discussion periods. Daily quizzes will be used for evaluation. This course does not satisfy prerequisites for Chemistry 106 or 116.

Maximum Enrollment: 9 (This course involves fieldwork supen/ision for the faculty member.) Time: I Room: Library 4 ENC 282-A Instructors: Ronald Palosaari/Bruce Reichenbach In this course we will identify what virtue is, inquire about how one becomes virtuous, and explore some of the major virtues - like compassion, honesty, prudence, justice, and love - through classical and contemporary literature. The goal is to provide opportunity for you to think about your character and its development, to enable you to ask about the relation between character and moral actions, and to probe your curiosity by considering possible tensions between the virtues, as found in life situations. The course is built around the question of values, in particular, the issue of virtue (qualities of moral character). A broad list of virtues will be considered, including the classical Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love. We will look at what these virtues are, at their relationship to each other, evaluate possible conflicts between them, and see how they play out in life situations, both in literature and (through the journals) in students' lives. Liberal Arts Perspective: Christian Faith 3 Maximum Enrollment: 30 Time: I Room: Old Main 10 ENC 282-B/482-B lnstructoc Joan Cn'ffin Although generally relegated to separate sections in bookstores or to children's bookshelves, fantasy, as J.R.R. Tolkien argues, is "not a lower but a higher form of Art, indeed the most nearly pure form, and so (when achieved) the most potent." This course will study 20th century examples of fantasy, looking for their roots in folktale, myth, epic and romance. At times the course will pair medieval and modern works of the fantastic imagination (for instance, "The Mabinogion" and "Evangeline Walton" or "Beowulf" and 'The Hobbit"). We will attempt to define the genre of fantasy by discussing essays by C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, Ursula LeGuin, and Madelein L'Engle, as well as considering relevant theories of myth and folktale by Joseph Campbell, Axel Olrik, Lord Raglan, and others. Students taking the course for lower division credit will be asked to write several short papers. In addition to writing several microthemes, ENG 482 students should be prepared to write a substantial paper on the works of a writer with whom they already are familiar. Prerequisites: 2 8 2 - none (ENG 1 1 1 recommended); 482 - ENC 245 required Distribution: Literature Maximum Enrollment: 2 5 Time: I Room: Murphy Place 100 FRE 111-A lnstructoc Pary Pezechkian This course is for students with no previous background in French. It aims to develop basic skills in understanding, speaking, reading, and writing as tools for communication in French. Through conversations, classroom practice and readings, this course focuses on the use of language in everyday contexts and works toward the discovery of a French culture and way of life. Five meetings per week. Evaluation will be based on class participation, daily assignments, quizzes and exams. Distribution: Modern Languages Liberal Arts Perspective: Intercultural Awareness 2 Maximum Enrollment: 2 5 Time: I/ Room: Old Main 23 French FRE 243-A Instructor: Ruth Aaskov What is the attraction of French literature for the nonFrench reader? What major French writers have portrayed diverse non-Western cultures and social strata in their literary works? What can we discover about ourselves and other cultures in learning how to read, analyze, and communicate our findings through literature? With these questions in mind we will read and analyze 8-10 shorter French literary works available to us in English translation. What will we be studying? The legend of St. Julien presented in Middle Ages style by Flaubert, examples of the Renaissance search for new worlds found in Rabelais, a bit of Descartes autobiography. We will travel the world with Voltaire's "Candide," explore social themes of a 19th century nouvelle, and read 20th century authors like Gide, Malraux, Camus, St. Exupery, and Duras with their multi-cultural connections. We will sample one piece of francophone literature from West Africa, reflecting the struggle between indigenous and Western culture. At mid-point you will choose another short work for personal study, comparative analysis and presentation for the class. Assessment in such a course will be ongoing, based on individual and group response to the many activities in the course. Timely reading of assigned texts, analyses, discussion preparations, short quizzes, and cultural discoveries will enable you to undertake successfully your independent study project and further enrich the whole class. This literature course for the non-literature major is intended to help you in further free reading, in your critical thinking about other cultures, and in communica- French tion with people of cultural backgrounds other than your own, including non-Western ones.

The course is designed to achieve two major objectives: 1) to give you first-hand experience in working with professionals and making connections between your experiences and your Augsburg education; and 2) to increase your ability to learn about organizations, the community, and yourself from your own experiences. Each participant will observe and work approximately 20 hours per week in a placement which matches his or her interests. The seminar will meet twice a week for two hours (T, Th - 1:30-3:30 p.m.). Evaluation will be based upon the overall quality of participation, completion of learning exercises, supervisor assessment, journals, and seminar participation. The course is offered on a P/N basis only. Prerequisites: Permission of instructors and placement secured by lanuary 3, 7 995. Distribution: Urban Concerns Liberal Arts Perspective: The City Time: I1 (T, Th - 1:30-3:30 p.m.) Room: MP 10 1 Interdisciplinary LIN 290-A Instructor: Don Steinmetz Is our ability to use language acquired by learning, or is it present from birth? What do all languages have in common despite their obvious differences? How can learning a foreign language be so frustrating for adults, while young children learning their native language seem to be having fun? Questions such as these have fascinated people throughout history, and recent developments in linguistics have begun to provide some credible answers. The purpose of this course is to survey the most remarkable findings in this area and engage in some principled speculation as to what they mean. This course is open to all students with a healthy curiosity about language. No other prerequisite. There will be two tests and a short paper for class presentation.

The class will observe the pattern of selfsimilarity and consider the transformations used to construct fractals such as this fern and the existence of self-similarity regardless of the power of magnification I used in examining it. The class will also consider the well known Mandelbrot set and Julia sets in color and in threedimensional rendition. Class lectures will provide introduction to the mathematics, and computer programs will provide students with the opportunity to construct their own visuals. Students will be tested on the mathematics through a midterm and final exam. Students will create a portfolio of visuals similar to the one above and from pieces of the Mandelbrot or Julia sets which display the mathematical character of those visuals. Finally students will keep a journal noting their reflections on the interconnections between mathematics and the artistic creations being studied or created.

Introducing Augsburg College Education in a Real World (C tt~dentscommonly speak of graduating from college as a L*'way of getting i n t ~"the real world!' In fact, Auphurg College provides students with an education in a real world. The diversity of the faculty, staff, and student body, the structure of the curriculum, and the academic environment minor the camplexity of Life in contemporary society. The College's location in and involvement with a metropolitan setting offer continuous access to cultural opportunities, career experiences, and social realities that enrich shtdents' educations. Augsburg's commitment to the liberal arts recognizes that the reality in which contemporary persons live and the persons themselves have been shaped by the tradition and history horn which they come. The real world was not made this morning, and it is not simple. Only a broad education can present our world as it is and give persons the ability to deal with it. Similar1y, Augsburg College's continuing dedication to its heritage as a college of the church affirms a belief that the world is the creation of a loving God and that human persons are inescapably spiritual beings. The College Mission Statement These qualities of an Augshrg education flow from its mission state ment which declares that the College exists to provide high quality educational opportunities which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith arid vaIues of the Christian church and by the context of a great metropolitan center. Augsburgs location in the heart d the city represents the loom on which the multialored fabric of its idmtity has been woven. WhiIe students are pmpafed to take a place in and make a contibution to the worId in which they Iive, they are educated to be critical of the quality of life in their society and to be reflective of their own d u e s as they respond to it. "... based in the liberal arts" The academic program emphasizes the continuing vaZiditg of the liberal arts as a foundation for developing the Iife of the mind. Augsbmg CoIIege's faculty are dedicaid to chatlengvlg their students to achiwe the highest academic standards while supporting &em in that endeavor with excenent teaching and individual attention Students are expected to develop their abilities in critical thinking and communicationand to gain sensitivity to and appreciation for their own and other cultures. Each student is encouraged to contemplate the eternal philosophical and spiritual questions of human life and of personal values and ethics. At Augsburg the great scholars, thinkers, writers, and artists of the past and present are studied and valued. Augsbtrrg College considers art understandingof the content and method of sdcnce, a arecognition of the place of technology,and an understanding of ways to maintain a sound body as important elements of a complete education. This insistence on the breadth of a traditional liberal arts education reflects a firm belief that human beings are more than their ability to perfom a job. It reftwrs further a concerted attempt to direct students toward a full development of the many facets and capacities of the educated person. "...within the context of a great metropolitan center" Yet, bounded as it is by an interslate freeway and the center of a vital city, Augsburg CoLlege is no ivory tower escape from the real world. The College community continually interacts with the city by attending culhrral events and civic activities and by inviting dty residents and visitors to the campus as lecturers, performers, and mmfms.The city M ~ maslaboratory for experiential leaning through Internships, professional field experiences, and Cooperative Education. "...and shaped b y faith and values" This involvement with the real world is a reflection of Augsburg's spiritual heritage which values all that God has created. While its tradition supports intellectual freedom in the search for truth, the ColIege affirmsits belief that all students should reflect upon their ethical and spiritual values as part of becoming educated. Students are encouraged though religion courses and through opportunities on campus for the practice and examination of spirituality to consider their relationship to God, to others?to society, and to the world, Traditionally Augsburg College has insisted that an aspect of these relationships is contained in the motto: "Education for Service." In these words the College expresses a belief that, whatever career they pursue, graduates should consider the duty of citizens to contribute to the common good through service to others. w ithin the larger community of the city and the world, Augsburg College is its own community. It is a community of support and collegiality composed of persons of diverse talents; of varied ethnic, national, cultural, and religious backgrounds; and of complementary interests and orientations. Through a competent, committed faculty and a dedicated staff, Augsburg College builds with its students a real world in which the whole person can be educated and developed. About Augsburg A College of the Church Augsburg was the first seminary founded by N o r w e a n Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in MarshalI, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first college students were enrolled in 1874 and the first graduation was in 1879. Early Leaders Establish a Direction August Weenaas was Augsburg's first president (1869-1876). Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway - Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men dearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: toeducateNorwegianLutherans to minister lo immigrants;and to provide such "coI1eg-e" studies tha t would prepare studentsfor theoIogical study. In 1874they proposed a three part pram 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, GeorgSverdrup, 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 leadersformed the Friendsof Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregationalautonomy and personal Christianity. This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. But the collegedivision was still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary. The Focus Changes This attitude began to change after World War I. In 1911Georg SverdrupJr. became President. He worked to develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg' admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of Gerda Mortensen, Dean of Women. She spent the next 52 years at the College as a teacher and administrator. The College's mission assumed a double character -ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bemhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (1938-1962).His involvementin ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life. After World War 11,Augsburg leadersmade 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, offeringa modem college program based on general education requirements and elective majors. With cursimlum change came a long effort to become accredited. The College reached full accreditation in 1954, although many alumni had entered graduate schools and teaching positions long before that time. A study in 1962 defined the College's mission now as serving the good society as a whole first, and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church second. The Seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Northwestern Seminary)in St. Paul in 1963. A College in the City President Oscar A. Anderson (1963-1980)continued Augsburg's emphasis on involvement with the city. He wanted to reach out to non-traditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all p p l e . During his years of leadership the College became a vita1 and integral part of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Tower, Umess Tower, the C o Z l e ~Center, Ice Arena and PsychoIogy Building. Since 1980 Augsbwg has been Ied by Charles S.Anderson We has continued Augsburg's commitment to the value of a libera1 arts education, emphasizingdiversityin enrollment efforts, spiritual growth and freedom and an academic program that draws on the Esources of the city as extensions of the campus and classroom. Serving the Non-traditional Student Aupburg's American M i a n Program is recognized as mc~essful.The program has had the highest retention rate of W a n studentsin Minnesota -=me 85 percent.The Black Student Support Program, initiated in 1969, has had a growing number ofstudents and supports a Black Student Union and a newspaper distributed by the office. The campus is accessible to the physimlly handicapped with a skywaytunnel-elevator system connecting ten major buildings. In only its second year, Augsburg's program for the learning disabled had 30 students enrolled. The program received a state award for excellence. Weekend College, started in 1982 with 69 students, had an enrollment of over SO0 in fa11 1988. Through Weekend College, adult students can work M l i m e and pursuea bachelor's degree that has a practicalfocus on a liberal arts base. In January of 1987 Augsburg initiated a Master of Arts in Leadership program. As in Weekend College, students can work full-time and take graduate courses leading to a master's degree. These programs bring working add& to the campus. They are comple mented by the College's Cooperative Education Progsam Cbegun in 19%) that places Augsburg students into paid work experiences. Tfte Co-op Education Program helps s tadents get career experience in additiun to their classroom studies. Augsburg Today Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed: Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church; education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative and successful citizens; the city with all its excitement, challengesanddiversity,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 arenow more than 11,000 Augsburg alumni.

Financial Aid Financing higher education could be the most significant investment a person or family makes in a lifetime. So, proper planning and wise choices are important, not only in choosing a college, but also in the methods used to pay for it. Augsburg College, through its Office of Student Financial Services, will help students and their families with both monetary and advisory assistance to protect access to a quality education in spite of increasing costs. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg is a combinationof 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 academicyear 1986-87approximately 85%of all students at Augsburg received scholarships, grants, loans and part-time employment totalling over $7,200,000 from all aid sources. The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid is intended to supplement student and family resources. The Family Financial Statement (FFS) of the 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 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. V How and When to Apply New Students - Regular Admission 1. Apply for admission to Augsburg College.

Bible studies, fellowship groups, outreach teams, planning committees, retreats, peace and justice forums, hunger conferences, concerts, plays and movies are examples of the wide variety of activities on campus. This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where students, faculty and staff gather each day to give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students gather for Holy Communion. We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to use and discover the gifts that God has given them.

Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities Programs -Students may participate in the ACTC program in Germany and Vienna, spendingJanuary and Februarpin intensive language study in Germany, and March through May in a regular semester program in Vienna, where a variety of course offerings is available. HECUA (Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs) -Augsburg students join students from other colleges and universities in five Werent full semester programs in Scandinavia, South and Central heria,San Francism and the Twin Cities. All programs are interdisciplinary and emphasize the impact of social change and crosscultural factors on the human community. HECUA programs emphasize intense language experience, Internships, and field trips. Interim -Study abroad during the Interim is planned for each year. See listings in the Augsburg Interim Catalogand in the brochure on Interims Abroad issued in spring for the followingJanuary. Augsburg is affiliated with the Upper Midwest Association for Intercultural Education (UMAIE). International Business Program -Augsburg College International Business Program offers studentsthe opportunity to spend a year of study in London, Paris (AmericanCollege), Cairo (American University), or Heidelberg. A major concentration in international business provides the option of taking Business Administration courses at Augsburg and international Core courses at one or two of the campuses abroad. See Business Administration-InternationalBusiness. in Global Community - Augsburg's 3 1/2 month living/learning program based in Cuemavaca, Mexico, focuseson the study of issues related to global justie and human liberation in the light of Christian proclamation. I ndudes intensive Spanish instmclion,group tsips, home stay with a family, and Pro- cultural activities. The cost, including travel, is equivalent to full room, board, and tuition for one term at Augsburg. Application and interview required, enrollment limited. See Global Education Programs. Human Services in a Latin American Context - 3 1/2 month study program designed to introduce participants to the central issues currently facing the third world, and to focus on Latin American models of education and service and their contribution to the process of social change. These models have grown out of the sense that the achievement of basic human rights goes hand in hand with the empowermentof individuals and groups to control their own lives. Application and interview required, enrollment limited. See Global Education Programs. Student Project for Amity Among Nations -Augsburg participates in the SPAN program. This is a joint venture of the University of Minnesota and several colleges in the state. Each year three or four countriesare selected, and qualified students are granted partial scholarshipsto enable them to spend a summer in informal study in one of the countries chosen. Applications to the program are made in the spring of the freshman or sophomore year. The SPAN program consists of three stages: language study and group meetings during the school year before departure, Independent Study abroad on a topic of one's choice during the following summer, and the writing of a paper upon return. Semester oryear Abroad -Arrangements havebeen made under which Augsburg students may spend their sophomore or junior year in study at a number of foreign educational institutions. Among them are the University of Oslo, Norway; the University of York, England; the University of Dundee, Scotland;the Institute for American Universities in Avignon, France; The American College in Paris; and the Fundacion Ortega y Gasset, Toledo, Spain. Student TeachingAbroad -Selected EducationDepartmentstudentsmay participate in the InternationalStudentTeachingAbroad program coordinated through Moorhead State University. Students have options for student teaching in dozens of countries through the International Independent School network. Those interested in further information should contact the Education Department. Students who student teach abroad also will do part of their student teaching under direct Augsburg faculty supervision. Summer School -There is a wide variety of possibilities for those who wish to spend a summer studyingabroad.RecentlyAugsburg students have spent summers in Norway, Spain, Mexico, France, Greece, Germany, and England. Those interested in further information should contact the Director of International Programs. V Honors Program The HonorsProgramis a set of opportunitiesdesigned to challengethe most academically distinguished students at Augsburg. Honors combines academic and cultural components with social and intellectual activities. The main components of the program include a one-per-term sequence of honors courses during the freshman and sophomore year, special topics seminars, a senior honors Interim course, and a bi-monthly program of speakers and events in the city. Students gain an enriched academic experience with the support and camaraderie of other honors students. Through the program, the College can identify and meet the needs of our v m y best students. Members normally enter as freshmen, with opportunities for transfersandothers.Requirementscenter on full participation in the program components and a GPA of approximately 3.5. Please send inquiries to Professor Diane Pike, Director of Honors. V Cooperative Education and Internships Through Cooperative Education and Academic Internships, Augsburg College students integrate their liberal arts education with the world of work. Each placement is closely related to a student's major or career interest. An underlying assumption is that a liberal arts education is an effective form of career preparation. Augsburg's Cooperative Education and Academic Internship Programs link employers and faculty in a way that enriches and expands a student's educational experience. This on-the-jobexperience adds breadth and depth to the liberalarts curriculumand helps students make more informed career decisions. Augsburg'sliberal arts education is enhanced by the College'smetropolitan location and the broad range of opportunities in the Twin Cities. Co-op Ed and Internships expand these mutually beneficial relationships and the resulting partnerships among employers, educators and students. Augsburg has been a leading proponent and provider of experiential education for many years. Both Co-op Education and Internships are voluntary and available throughout the curriculum. Eachacademic department determines the extent of its involvement in either program and the amount of credit it will allow. The Associate Academic Dean coordinates the Internship Program with assistance from Cooperative Education and Career Services. Co-op Education and Internships are separate and distinct from programs which require clinical experience, practicums, residencies and/or student teaching in order to fulfill the professional training associated with accredited programs. However, many students participate in Co-op Education and Internships prior to and following these required assignments. Cooperative Education students are expected to complete one Internhip per year in conjunction with their placement. A nonaedi t Cooperative Education transcript entry is available during the academic termswhen the student is not registered for an Internship. Upper Division Internships are numbered 399 and Lower Division Internships are numbered 199. Registration for Internshipsconsists of the following steps. A learning agreement (forms are available from the Associate Academic Dean's office) must be negotiated with the faculty member responsible for grading the experience. The grading system, activities, and appropriatelevel must be agreed upon. The completed learning agreement is returned to the Associate Dean's office. An Internship card (withthe description/location) signed by the faculty member and Associate I3ean must be turned in to the Registrar's Officeat registration time. Students are not encouraged to register/add until an actual experience has been arranged, but they must make arrangements by the end of the registration period. For extension of study beyond one term, see the section of the catalogunder grading.Amaximum of four coursesof Internshipmay count toward the 35 courses required for the degree. V IndependentIDirected Study Many departments offer opportunities for conscientious students who demonstrate sufficientbackground and preparation in a given field to carry out upper division level work on an independent basis. Courses are numbered 499. (Some departments have been given faculty approval to offer 1/2 course credit under498. The Speech, Communicationand Theatre k t s Department uses 495 for Independent Study in Communication.) Many departments also offer an opportunity for Directed Study on a Lower Division level. These courses are numbered 299. Arrangements between students and instructors should be made in advance of the period of initial registration. The grading system and appropriate level must be agreed upon. Independent and Directed Study course numbers are used only for study different in content from courses already listed in this Catalog. An agreed-upon titlemustbe reported on the appropriateform to theRegistrafs Office at registration time. The faculty member giving the grade must sign the form. Studentsare not encouraged to register/add until an actual study has been arranged, but they must make arrangementsby the end of the registration period. For extension of study beyond one term, see the section of the Catalog under grading. A maximum of two courses in Independent Study and/or Directed Study may count toward the 35 courses required for the degree. Students may cross-registerfor Independent Studies at another ACTC school only when the major field in which the Independent Study is proposed is not available on their home campus, and will be charged by the host campus for any special costs attached.Requests for exception to this policy should be made directly to their own academic dean. V Weekend College Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative for adult students who work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women may earn a college degree, complete a second major, or pursue a personal interest or skill. Weekend College classes meet on alternate weekends and there are three trimester terms during the early September through June academic year. Students may take from one to four classes each term. While Augsburg Weekend College program involves the same courses as the day school program, the curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts courses and the following majors: Business Administration (specializations in accounting, finance, management, and marketing), Communication (concentrations in human relations, marketing communications, public relations/advertising, and supervisory management), Management Information Systems, Elementary and Secondary Education, English, Nursing, and Social Work. V Graduate Program In January of 1987Augsburg College initiated a Master of Arts program in Leadership. Based on the subject matter and approaches of the traditional liberal arts, this cross-disciplinaryprogramdirects its academic content and pedagogical approaches at situations, issues and problems relevant to organizational leaders. Augsburg's program recognizes that todafs leaders need broad-spectrum abilitiesto provide them with a more comprehensive understanding of their world. Designed for working adults who have demonstrated leadership potential in the workplace, the Augsburg Graduate Program operates on alternate Saturdays and alternate Thursday evenings. Students may take either one or two courses per trimester. V Continuing Education Program Augsburg College offers selected courses through Continuing Education. Inquiries shouldbe addressedto the Officeof the Associate Academic Dean. V Center for Global Education The Center for Global Education was founded at Augsburg in 1982 with a commitmentto educationwhichbothexpandsour world view and deepens our understanding of issues related to global peace and justice. Studentscan participate in a number of forums, seminars and conferences that focus on global issues. In addition, a spring semester program in Mexico, "The Program in Global Community," a fall semester in Mexico, "Human Services in a Latin American Context," and occasional Interims allow more indepth exposure to these topics. Academic Policies and Procedures V Registration A student must be registered for a course to receive credit for it. Students normally register for four coursesa semester and one course in the Interim. Students registered for three or more courses in a semester are classified as full-time students. To register for more than 4.5 courses, students must contact the Registrar's office to petition the Committee on Student Standing for permission. Although a student may register up to two weeks afterthe semesterbegins, registration is encouraged at the regularly scheduled time. Special feesare 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 Springby the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities, listing courses and their location at the five colleges for the following semesters. Separate catalogs of courses are published by the Interim Office, Summer School Office, Weekend College Officeand 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 114, for Fall and Spring Terms Interim Office -Memorial 230 Summer School Office -Memorial 230 Weekend College Office -2222 Murphy Square, for Fall, Winter and Spring Trimesters Graduate Program Office -2222 Murphy Square, for Fall, Winter and Spring Trimesters V Pre-Registration Freshmen and transfer studentsmaypre-register during summerfor courses in the fall.All currently enrolled studentsmay pre-register during the fall for the springand during the springforthe fall.All studentsmust confirm their registration at the beginning of each semester and complete financial arrangements. V Withdrawal from College Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered, since this results in a failing grade on the official record. Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from College must be done in the Registrar's Office. Withdrawal from College cannot occur during final examination week unless a petition is approved by the Student Standing Committee. Withdrawal from College and resulting adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the completed Withdrawal from College form is returned to the Registrar's Office. V Leave of Absence StudentsmayrequeslaLeave of Absence for academic or personalreasons. Arequest formmust bepickedup fromthe Office of theDeanof the CoLlege. It must be signed by the Dean of Sbdmts, or au khorized representative,and by the Dean of the College, or authorized representative. The cornpIeted 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. V Graduation Requirements The responsibility for seeing that all degree requirements are satisfied rests with the student. Academic advisers, department chairpersons, the Academic Dean and the Registrar are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. Former Augsburg students, readmitted to complete a degree, have a choice between using the catalog in effect when they first enrolled, or using the catalog in effect at the point of readmission. Each student must apply for graduation at the time specified by the Registrar. Application forms are available in the Registrar's Office. All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the Registrais office prior to the anticipated date of graduation (there may be no incompletes or open courses on the academic record). See the separate section on Graduation with Distinction to learn about requirements for these honors. 1.Completion of 35 courses -At least 11coursesmust be Upper Division, numbered in the 300s and 400s. Not more than 13may be in one department, except in certain approved majors - 17 (Music Education) or 20 (Music Performance)for the Bachelor of Music degree, and 18 for the Bachelor of Science (Music Therapy) or Bachelor of Science (Nursing) degree. The course total must include three Interims for students whose complete academic work is at Augsburg. For transfer students, the course total must includeone 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 courses required: 4 Conservationof Human Resources (CHR)courses; 2 courses by independent/directed study; 4 courses of Internship; and 8 courses with a grade of Pass (PI. Non-traditional grading (P)also has these limits: 2 in the major except Elementary Education and Nursing; 1in the minor if approved by the department chairperson. Students who enter an academic program with a baccalaureate or higher degree should contact the Registrar's Officeabout specific requirementsfor a second baccalaureate degree or for the equivalent of a major. 2. Completion of a Major -Requirements for each major are listed under the departmental headings. A minor or double-major is not required, but is encouraged. 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 grade point average of 2.0 is required over all courses taken and over all courses which apply toward the major. Some majors, licensure, and certification require higher grades in each course or a higher grade point average. (For example, see licensure in education, music education, music performance, music therapy, nursing, social work.) See the departmental section for details. 5. Residence -The last year of full-time study or equivalent (minimum of 7 courses for part-time students) must be at Augsburg. Contact the Registrar if an official interpretation is needed. 6. Distribution Requirements -Next page. V Distribution Requirements Writing - A course in writing (English 111) or certification of demonstrated proficiency by the Department of English. Exemption tests are given during the summer and fall orientation periods. Liberal Arts - An approved course from each of these seven areas: .Mathematics-Physics Psychology-Sociology Economics-Political Science Chemistry-Biology English-Speech, Communication History-Philosophy Art-Music and Theatre Arts (devoted to the study of literature) A list of approved coursesis available from advisersand the RegisWs Office. Foreign Languages -Two courses (111 and 112)of one foreign language at Augsburg. Studentswho test abovethe 111level of a foreignlanguage will take one additional course at placement level in that language or two courses (111 and 112) of another foreign language. International students should consult with the Registrar. Religion -Three approved courses in religion, of which not more than one may be an Interim course. For transfer students, the number required is one Augsburg religion class for each year of study or equivalent at Augsburg. This is calculated on each transfer student's evaluation of transfer credits. Urban Concerns, or Women's Studies, or Minority Studies-One course. Courses approved to meet this requirement are published each term. Information is available at the Registrar's Office. Lifetime Sports -Two different Lifetime Sports or demonstrated proficiency in two different Lifetime Sports. V 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 determined by their scores on the Michigan test (80-90 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 classwill determine whether additional ESL course work is required. Usually a score of 80 to 90 and a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will fulfill the student's ESL requirement. If studentsdo 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. V Evaluation and Grading Student achievement in courses is measured primarily by final examinations. Shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation also are used. Most courses are offered with grading options -traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of lessthan 2.0. Studentsare 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 Pgraded coursesdo not countin therequirementthat 14 traditionally graded courses be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation with distinction. See PJ N Iimi tations under Graduation Rquirments. Certain corn are offered on one grading system only. Sociology 265 and several Iaterim coursesare 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 I11 is graded P or N, or 2.0-4.0/N. Some other courses are graded only P, 1.0, N. Chemistry Seminar and Lifetime Sports are graded P/O.O. In courses where there is a choice, studentswill be graded on the traditional systemunlessthey indicateon their registration that they wish to use theP/ 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. ' IExplanation 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) Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. A grade of P representswork 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 required to complete the course, the plan and date for completing the work, and commentsfrom 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 theinstructor 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 coursebecomes a 0.0. Internships, Indqendent Studies, and TXected Studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completedby the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X is given by the instruckor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students givm X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactoryprogress is being maintained. The Registrafs Office will automatically continue theregistration in response to an X grade. A finalgrade will be issued at t h e end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (butnot longer than one year). An instructor reserves the discretion of not giving an X whew satisfactory progress 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 inwhich a grade of 0,0.5,1 .O,15,N, I, or X has been received may be repeated for credit. C o m e s in which higher grades have been earned may riot be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. AIl courses takenand grad- earned each termremain on theacademicrecord. Only the aeditsand gradesearned the second,be,for legitimatelyrepeated 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. V 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 murse without charge. The charge for part-time students is listed under College Costs. Students who audit a course shouId confer with the insmctor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expecfations, attendance and any 0 ther requirement If expedations have been met, the course will be listed on the hammipt as having k e n audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W (Withdrawn). V 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.Coursestakenon the P/N gradingoptionare recorded, but not computed in the GPA. V Classification Students are classified in August and at the end of the Fall and Interim terms. - Sophomores 7 courses completd with at least 14 grade points. Juniors -16 courses compIeted with at least 32 grade points. Seniors -25 courses completed with at least 50 grade points. V Advanced Placement Program 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. V International Baccalaureate Program Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate Program will be consideredby the CoIIege for advanced placement and appropriatecredit Departmental guidelines are available from the Office of the Registrar. V Assessment of Previous Learning (APL Program) Augsburg Collegerecognizes that learningcan 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 essentiaI criteria: 1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and 2) it can be objectivelydemonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Aupburgprovides sever& meansby which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recopition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: T h e College LevelEmmination Program (CLIP)-Thkis a seriesof standardized tests which have been dewlo+ by The College Board and are offered to studentsfora small f ~ e at e regionaltesting centers.(Theregional testingcenter for this area is the University of Minnesota.)Studentswho scoreat or above the 65th percenkileon a subject examination may d v e academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Additional information about CLEPtestsis availablefrom 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: A. There is a departmental instrument available for subject area in question. B. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. C. The Student Standing Committee approves the student's request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is availableon a pass/no credit basis only, and there is a charge per exam. TheCredit AssessmentProgxam(CAT)-This isa credit assessmentalternativein which a faculky committee completesa credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The factdty committee is composd of the Rqktsar and two faculty members from fields 05 study directly related to the student's previous learning. Lnformational meetings and consdtation 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 campleting the evaluation of a student's psevious Iearning, the CAP Cornmitree applies the following criteria: A. There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed and/or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts coursework. B. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. C. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. D. The learning relates well to the student's educational goals. E. The learning and skillsinvolved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least four coursesof academicworkat Augsburg Collegewith acumulativeAugsburg 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 (applicableto transcript charge) to initiate the credit assessment process, and a charge for each semester credit applied to the student's transcript. Transcript credit will be granted on the basis of semester credits, and the total number of credits granted will be divided by four to determine the number of courses applied'to graduation. These credits will be recorded with the course number of CAP 2xx.Application of this credit toward distribution requirements and academicmajors and minors may be subsequentlyaddressed 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 learningmust be placed in the contextof formal study in campusbased liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of nine courses (one-fourth 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, departmentalexams, and credit granted through CAP Committee assessment. V Academic Progress, Probation and Dismissal The Collegerequires that studentsmaintain the followingcumulative grade point averages (GPA): Freshman a student having taken fewer than 7 courses cumulative GPA of 1.6 or higher Sophomore - a student having taken fewer than 16 courses mmulative GPA of 1.7 or higher Junior a student having taken fewer than 25 courses cumulative GPA of 1.9 or higher a student having taken 25 or more courses cumulative Senior 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 2 zero grades or a sophomore who receives 3 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 rmrd may be strongly advised to withdraw before the end of a tern. Those on probation who voluntarilywithdrawfromthe 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 reachesthe minirmm leveIs stated above. Studentsplaced on probation as freshmen far having earned 2 zero grades may be removed h m probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earned additional zero grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Studentsplaced on probation as sophomores for having earned 3 zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative GPA reaches 1.9. The Collegereserves the right to dismissany 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. V Dean's List The Dean's List is compiled after each semester, listing students whose grade p i n t average for a semester is 3.5 or better, based on a minimum of three full courses, or equivalent, foraweekday 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. L€ permission is given, an announcement is sent to the hometown newspaper of each student on the Dean's List. V 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 traditionallygradedcourses)of workat Augsburg. 7 Veterans of Military Service Augsburg is approved by the StateApprovingAgency for Veterans Education. Veterans should tonsult with the Office of the Registrar about completion of the enrollment certificate and the forwardingof other information to the Veterans Administration. Augsburgs standardsd academic progress are giveninthisCatalog.When a veteran or eligible perstln fads to maintain these prescribed standards of progress, the College will so inform the Veterans Adminisfration. It is the responsibiIity of each veteran to report any change in registration and/or academic load to the Office of the Registrar, as i t is for all studmts. If less than full-time, veterans will be referred to the State Approving Agency after any period of two consecutive terms if they did not earn the equivalent of what they had been certified for. A non-punitive grade which brings a veteran's academic load for the term below three courses will be reported to the Veterans Administration. Veteranswill need to meet the requirements of theveterans Administration regarding repayment of educational assistance funds received. Departments and Programs Course Descriptions Major and Minor Requirements A s a liberal arts institution, Augsburg College operates with a belief that knowledge and truth are interrelated and are integrated into a whole. The tradition of the academic world, however, divides this unified truth into more manageable parts: the academic disciplines. The knowledge of individual disciplines is subdivided into courses which make it more accessible to students. These courses can be arranged in various ways to construct 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 caurszs are arranged by departments and programs. T h e descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter covered in individual courses to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus containing a more detailed explanation of content, approach, and requirements for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor. Department entries also contain a narrative discussion of the educational philosophy of each department, its pals, and its place in the College's program. A Listing of requirements for individual majors follows the narrative. Courses and t e r n listed are subject to change. In general, classes are offered Fa31 and/or Spring terms, unless another frqumcyis specified. The Schedule of Classes published each spring lists offerings and locations for Fall and Spring terms. Descriptions and schedules for courses of f e d in JanuaryInterim, Summer Scl~ml,Augsburg Weekend College and the Master of Arts in Leadership program are published in separate catalogs. + Credits A full course is offered for one credit. A few fractional courses, for one-half or one-quarter credit, are offered in the Division of Professional Studies.A full course has the approximate value of 4 semester credits or 6 quarter hours. Most courses meet for three 60-minute periods or two 90-minute periods a week, in addition to laboratories. + Numbering Courses numbered below 300 are Lower Division courses. Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as Upper Division. In general, coursesin the lOOsareprimarily for freshmen, 200s sophomores, 300sjuniors, and400s seniors. + Prerequisites Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are listed in the course description.

V Art Department (ART) Art is important as a field of study for our modem age. Our survival as a culture may very well depend on whether we are able to create order and beauty in the design and function of communities.Realizing this, we have made design and msitivity 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 Aupburg draw ideas and inspiration from all disciplines. Art as a human activity docs involve manual skill, although to become broadly signifimnt i t should interact with the content available in other fields, such as language, history, drama, music, literature, philosophy, theology, business, physical education, and science. A liberd arts college, such as Augsburg College, 5 an idea1 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. Cooperative Education and Internships in studio art and art history provide on-the-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. Hundreds of specific careers exist in the general area of art. Augsburg graduates have established careers in such fields as teaching in public schools and colleges, anthropology, pottery making, antique restoration and sales, film and video work, portrait painting, and gallery and museum work. The future holds a great deal of promise for artists who can combine skills with a breadth of understanding.

V Biology Department (BIO) Biology is the study of MeI and it is natural that we,as contemplative living creatures, seek a deeper understandingof 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-understandingand to provide a basis for wise decisions. Another significant insight that has emerged from the study of life is that even the simpIest organisms are incredibly complex, and a complete understanding of wen 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 c o n t h e to be a fertile field for research for many years to come. Still, an enormous amount of knowledge regarding living organisms has accumulated over the years. In recent decades great strides have been made in understanding important biological processes, particularly those at the cellular and molecular levels. Biological research has also provided some extremely important benefits to humans. Most advances in medicine, veterinary medicine, agriculture and food science have depended on the findings of basic biological research. Since the biological world reveals such variety, complexity, and knowledge, an undergraduate major in biology needs to be broadly based. Since a complete understanding of biological systems depends on applications of the principles of physics and chemistry, a firm background in the physical sciences is also important for biologists. For many, an undergraduate major in biology serves primarily as a basis for further study. In past years Augsburg graduates have gone on to further studies in professionalschools 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.

(Prereq.: Consent of instructor) V Chemistry Department (CHM) 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, since matter includes the entire physical world such as the things we use, the food we eat and even ourselves. Chemists as scientists must be well versed in the science of chemistry, knowledgeable in fact and theory for solving scientific problems, 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 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, 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 followingobjectives 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 complete 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 major concepts underlying the changes in matter, the opportunity to examine change in the physical world, and the reflection of the implications 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.

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. The career that first comes to mind for graduates of teacher education programs is classroom teaching. Augsburg graduates are found in many classrooms within the Twin Cities area. In addition, they provide educational services in classrooms across the nation and in some foreign countries. The teacher education program coupled with the liberal arts program serves as a solid base for graduate education. Some teaching fields require graduate work beyond the initial license in either elementary or secondary education. Not all graduates choose to teach in school settings. Teacher education graduates are also found in business, working in managerial, sales, production, and service areas. As of April 1,1988, all persons are required to have taken basic competency tests (prescribed by the Minnesota Board of Teaching) in reading, writing skills and mathematics prior to beginning Upper Division courses. Licensure in Elementary Education is available both through day school and Weekend College. Selected secondary education programs are also available in Weekend College.

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 the study of English we see life's complexity, experience life as 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 ~ o l o g y , English is concerned with individual and group khavior. With philo* phy, English is interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning and language. With dence, English is interested in discovering order and det crmining structures. With speech and ~ommunications,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, a n d readings available near the campus. English majors have the opportunity to use and refine their skills through Internships on a n d off campus, tutoring in the Writing Lab, or participating in the Co-op Ed Program. Students with a n Augsburg English major pursue careers i n elementary, secondary a n d college education, journalism, government, law, the ministry, library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions a n d businesses. English majors may start o n a slightly lower rung of the career ladder than those with more specialized training, but will move to higher rungs more quickly because of their broad background, their skill in analysis, a n d their superior communication skills. Skills i n reading perceptively and writing effectively enhance a n y career and make life more enjoyable and understandable.

V First Year Experience (FYE) Patricia Parker (Associate Academic Dean), Diane Pike The initial months after entering college as a freshman are a period of transition. The faculty and staff wish to assist students to make the transition to being a college student successfully and to help them become part of 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 Seminars, and FYE Interim Term Courses. Participation in the Fall Orientation program and in the FYE Seminars is required of all students who begin 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. Students without a P for FIE 00.5 will not be permitted to graduate with an Augsburg degree. 005 FYE Seminar A series of fall term meetings with an FYE faculty adviser to discuss issues related to becoming an active member of the Augsburg College community of learners. Discussion will be based upon readings from a variety of disciplinesand sources collected in The Augsburg Anthology. (P/N grading only; evaluation based on attendance and participation) V Foreign Language Department The Foreign Language Department at Augsburg College contributes in many ways to realizing the College's mission of providing liberal arts education for service in today's world. The Department is committed to the view that education should go beyond career preparation. So viewed, foreign language study goes beyond the development of new cornmunications 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 believe that familiarity with the language and culture of another people is an essential step in the development of global perspective and hence is indispensable in the education of Augsburg students. The Foreign Language Department offers language, literature, and culture courses in French, German, Norwegian, Russian, and Spanish. Courses in Chinese, Japanese, Latin, and Greek are available to Augsburg Students through the College's affiliation with ACTC, a consortium of Twin Cities colleges. A special perspective on language is also available to Augsburg students in the linguistics courses offered by the Foreign Language Department. Linguistics goes beyond the study of individual languages to investigate the general principles which operate in and shape all languages and in this way the study of linguistics affords the student a unique view of one of the most intriguing and central facetsof the human mind. Foreign language skills, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, are essential in preparing for a number of careers and represent a valuable special qualification in many others. Anticipated careers in a number of fields such as foreign language teaching translation, the diplomatic corps, or international business may require a foreign language major, perhaps combined with a major in some other field. In addition, students pursuing careers in 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 assignments in their chosen field. Foreign languages Faculty: Mary Kingsley(Chairperson),Nancy Aarsvold, Ruth Aaskov, Nancy Giguere, Mary Johnson, Angelika Rauch, Gunta Rozentals, Steve Sakai, Donald Steinmetz Placement Levels: Studentswith previous foreign language study must register in coursessuited to their levelof preparation.Placement is accordingto thenumber of high school semesters one has studied that language: 0-2 = 111;3-4 = 112; 5 6 = 211; 7 = 212; 8 = 311.

V History Department (HIS) History is to society what memory is to an individual; it brings to a civilization an understanding of its identity. The distinguished Medievalist J.R. Strayer expresses 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 enables 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 heid a major role in the liberal arts. This is true at Augsburg. The Department has smngth in and requires of its majors work in four main areas: ancient and medieval, modern Europe, United States, and the non-Western world. The Department's graduates are well represented among professional historians; at present, six are in graduate schools preparing for such careers. More have distinguished themselves as social studies teachers in elementary and secondary schools and current projections indicate that there will be growing opportunity in that field for history 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),James Brothen, Gregory Bruess, Orloue Gisselquist, Donald Gustafson, Khin Khin Jensen, John R Jenswold Major: 8 courses plus 1 seminar.

V Mathematics and Computer Science Department At 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 modern needs of quantitative thinking, these skills are still essential for any liberallyeducated person. Mathematics and computer science courses at Augsburg are intended to help develop these skills. Mathematical ideas in and of themselves have had a formative impact on the development of civilization, and the development of computers has already begun to influence 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 increasing number 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 axe prepared for graduate school, work in industry,or semice professions, with opportunities to focus on either the itheoretical or the appIied areas of their vocations. Internship and Coop erative Education options help students takeadvantage of Augsbwg's proximity to the many technically-oriented 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 careers.

V Occupational Therapy Adapting to disabilities and reshaping lives so that they are productive and meaningful are some of the goals of the occupational therapist. Occupational therapy is an applied science that teaches people skills to enable them to perform the tasks of everyday living when a physical or emotional disability has affected them. The ultimate goal of the occupational therapist is to provide people with the necessary skills to develop a sense of wholeness and independence. Given the orientation of this applied science to development of the abilities of the whole person, it is appropriate that such a career preparation be founded in the liberal arts. Augsburg College has a cooperative 32 arrangement with Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, to allow students to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Bachelor of Science or Master of Science degree in Occupational Therapy from Washington University. The Bachlelor of Science requires four semesters at Washington University, and the Master of Science requires five. Students spend their first three years at Augsburg College pursuing the academic major of their choice and meeting general education requirements in the liberal arts. A student may choose any major at Augsburg College while gaining the minimum prerequisite courses for the Occupational Therapy degree. Students are encouraged to consult the program adviser and plan their programs carefully since fulfilling necessary requirements in three years may be difficult in certain majors. Majors in Biology, Psychology, and Sociology offer the least complicated alternatives. Students accepted into the 3-2 program are guaranteed admission to the Bachelor of Science program at Washington University provided they have met course requirements, have at least a 3.0 average, and are recommended by the Augsburg College adviser. They will be given preference for admission to the Master of Science program at Washington University if they fulfill the above requirements and receive two additional recommendations from health care professionals, faculty or work supervisors. Prerequisite courses for the Washington University Occupational Therapy Program: ENG111,BIO111,112,and473or353;CHM105or115;PHY103;PSY105, 351,362; SOC 121,241; SOC 362 or MAT 373. V Philosophy Department (PHI) The Philosophy Department assists students in understanding 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 significance and meaning, and to develop the skills of critical analysis and creative synthesis. The liberal arts curriculum provides an opportunity for students to explore different:aspectsof the world from a variety of perspectives or disciplines. Philosophy plays a central role in the liberal arb by helping students to explore questions about themselves, human experience, right and wrong the world, and God. Beginning with hva Somatic principles: 'The unexamined I i k 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. At Augsburg the philosophy major i s founded upon the princi p1e that philosophy is best learned at the feet of the masters. Therefore, the care of the major consists of four courses in the history of philosophy leading from the ancient Greeks and Romans, through the Medieval and the Renaissance periods to the present. In these courses students are taught how to read, understand, and criticize the great texts of the finest minds in Western civilization.In addition, majors are expected to prepare themselves in the discipline of philosophy by taking the various seminars which the Department offers, as well as exploring the opportunities to study tutorially with the individual members of the Philosophy faculty. This major has been carefully planned so that students can easily supplement the study of philosophy with other studies. Though some majors g o on to graduate school in philosophy, most use the major to prepare for other professional studies such a s law, medicine, or Christian ministry. Many enter the market place, feeling that the study of philosophy has given them the ability to think critically. Philosophy Faculty: Mark Fuehrer (Chairperson), Kenneth Bailey, Bruce Reichenbach, Paul Holmer Major. 9 courses, including 130,141,242,343,344, and a course in the 400's (other than 499). Five of the courses must be Upper Division. Honors Major: Admission to the Philosophy Honors program is by recommendation of the philosophy faculty. Such recommendations will be made at the end will consist of an honors thesis on an approved of the junior year. The topic of the student's choice, involving research above the course level, and a defense of this thesis before the faculty of the Department. Minor. 5 courses, including 2 from 141,242,343, and 344. Note: 110,120,130, and 141 are recommended for fulfilling the general education requirement. 110 120 130 141 Introduction to Philosophy: Ideas and Method Though each person has his or her own set of ideas and beliefs, m l y have theybeen critically analyzed or evaluated for rheir consistency, adequacy or truth. One reason for this is that individuals lack the needed skills. Another is that they may have had little opportunity to examine critically some of the ideas basic to w e e m culture.The purpose of this course is to provide the student with someexperienceinexamining ideas, and therebyto sharpen the &ti& and analytical skills required to evaluate and construct a system of ideas arid beliefs. Ethics This course studies moral judgments about personal and social issues, and evaluates possible grounds for making moral decisions. It also investigates the nature of happiness and its relation to the moral life. Logic Suppose someone gives you reasons, and then says you must accept a particular conclusion. Must you? When does a conclusion validly follow from premises? Here we examine the rules which govern valid arguments and work to develop your ability to recognize and construct sound arguments. Introduction to Philosophy Readings in Classical Texts 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 keyworks 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 familiarize the student with the other elements that constitute classical philosophy. An advanced introductory course in philosophy for honor students, those contemplating a philosophy major or minor and those students wishing a more in-depth approach to philosophy at the introductory level. Excludes students enrolled for 110. (Spring) - Internship Internship for Lower Division credit. History of Philosophy: M e d i d and Renaissance PhiIosophy The Middle A g e was a period of great synthesis of elements of m s t i a n metation, classical phiIosbphy and Islamic culture. In this course students will read writings by St. hselm, St. Banaventme, Occam, St. Thomas Aquinas and Nicholas of Cusa In order to understand the process of philosophicalassimihtioninvolved incanstrvcting a Christian philosophy. S i the Remissanm intensified the medieval synthesis, students will.be exposed to the thought of Pico, Ficino and Bruno. (Fall) Directed Study Independent Study for Lower Division credit.

Department (PHY) Physicists are not only curious about the world, but ambitious as well. Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles which describe and govern all physical aspects of the universe. Called "natural philosophers" in previous centuries, physicists investigate natural systems by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical analysis. Physics includes the study of systems ranging in size from sub-atomic particles to the largest of galaxies, and from the relative stillness of near absolute zero temperature to the fiery activity of the stars. As a fascinating and expanding area of study and as a basic science, physics plays an important role in many of the liberal arts disciplines and contributes to society's understanding of such areas as energy, weather, medical science and space exploration. Recognizing the importance of physics in contemporary life and realizing that keeping abreast of the rapid advances is an ever increasing challenge, the Department intends to bring to the students not only basic concepts but also insights into recent developments. In this process, the faculty expects challenges to arise, be met, and stimulate sound thinking, perceptive judgment, and an interest in experimental techniques. To this end a rigorous major provides students with the in-depth preparation required for graduate study. More than two-thirds of the graduates in Physics have completed or are currently working toward graduate degrees at a number of fine universities across the nation. A major in physics provides flexibility. It also 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 for many physics graduates. In addition, the Physics Program at Augsburg functions in a supportive role for students majoring in mathematics, chemistry, biology and computer science. The Department also supervises the Pre-Engineering program with degree programs available at cooperating universities at both the bachelofs and the advanced degree levels. Cooperative Education, Internship, and Undergmduate Research programs provide opportunities for students to apply fheir physicaI science knowledge and problem solving skills in practical situations in industrial, governmental, and academic settings. Students may participate in alternating term Co-op 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 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 comprehension.

I I V Political Science Department (POL) Firmly grounded in the liberal arts tradition, political science has roots in the humanities, including philosophy and history. Through its use of statistical analysis, it relates not only to other behavioral sciences, but also to mathematics and the sciences generally. The role and significance of authority in human affairs establish the focus of political science; because politics is a central and enduring reality in the world, it affects and is affected by many other human concerns. As an academic discipline, political science uses systematic inquiry and analysis to examine political reality and to suggest and test alternatives. The student who majors in political science will explore political ideas and values, investigate political cooperation and conflict, analyze and compare political systems, and develop perspectives on international relations. In the process, the student will 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.If also serves as a foundation on which to deveIop careers in public service, business, communications, and other fields. Legislative and ofher Internships, as well as significant independent research projects, are within easy reach of Augsburg political science students in the Twin Cities area; combined with broad, balanced and flexible course offerings, these special opportunities enhance the student's potential for graduate study and a successful career. Augsburg political science students have the benefit 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 learnings.

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 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 experience and develop professional contacts. This program mutually benefits the students and the community.

The biblical faith and tradition of the Christian church have influenced the Western world to a degree much greater than is sometimes recognized. 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 than is 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. 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. It is the hope and expectation of the Department that students will become better acquainted with the content and character of the Christian faith and enable them to reflect theologically on their own religious commitment. 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. Religion Faculty: Philip Quanbeck (Chairperson), John Benson, Bradley Holt, Curtis Peter, Stephen Pinsky, Eugene Skibbe Major: 8 courses, including 111,221,356,481 and 495, the seminar especially for majors, taken in the junior or senior year. Before taking the seminar, each major must have written 1 formal research paper and placed it on file with the Department Chairperson. Only 1 Interim course may be applied to the major. One Upper Division New Testament Greek course may be applied to the major. Major in Church Staff Work: 9 courses, including 111,221,356,358,360 or 483,362, 399,471 or 473,481. These together with specified courses in other departments can lead to Augsburg certification. Program for Christian Day School Teachers: Students pursue one of the regular teacher education programs in the Department of Education to prepare for licensure by the State of Minnesota. In addition to the licensure program, 5 courses in religion are required: 111,221,362, The Christian Day School (Interim) and The Lutheran Heritage (Interim). Student Teaching experience is required in both a public school setting and in a Christian Day School. This program prepares students who are interested in teaching in Christian Day Schools, particularly those of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, although participation is not limited to such schools. Honors Major: GPA of 3.3 in the major and 3.0 overall; research project approved by the Department and colloquium with the Department. Minor: 5 courses. Not more than 1 Interim course may be counted for the minor. Certificate in Church Staff Work: 9 Religion courses (111,221,356,358,360 or 483, 362,399,471 or 473,481); HPE 232; PSY 105,351,352 or 371,485; SOC 211 or PSY 373, SOC 231; SPC 354. This program meets or exceeds the educational requirements of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, but certification by the church is a separate function. By adding 2 or 3 courses from appropriate departments, the student can develop special emphases in parish education, business management or diaconal work. Notes: Religion 111 or 221 is prerequisite to all other courses. Department approval is necessary before courses taken in other colleges can be accepted for Religion Department and/or general education course credit. All majors are urged to consult with the Department Chairperson. 111 199 221 Introduction to Theology An introduction to the academic discipline of theology and to the dialogue between the church and the world which concerns Christian doctrine.

Studentsconsideringa career in social studies education should consult, as soon as possible, the Augsburg Department of Education and the Social Studies Coordir~ator. V Social Work Devartment The Social Work major program 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. 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 social work education. As Sir Richard Livingston has said, "A technician is a person who knows everything there is to know about his/her job except its ultimate purpose and social consequence." Effective social workers should not be technicians. Augsburg social work graduates are entry level 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 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 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 a Big Brother/Big Sister 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.

V Sociology Department (SOC) Sociology is 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 are "social animals." Sociology emphasizes the extent to which the human inclination to interact socially comes to exhibit regularized patterns over time. These patterns together form a society or a social structure. Sociology seeks to understand these societal patterns. Sociology also seeks to understand patterns within the great variety of institutions that exist in a society. The Sociology Department at Augsburg is designed to help students think sociologically in terms of obtaining an understanding of society and developing skills in evaluating social institutions and programs. Students are encouraged to select as electives some of the non-traditional learning models available, such a s Internships, Independent Study, Interim courses, and the co-learning courses offered through the Conservation of Human Resources (CHR) program. The Department urges students to use Augsburg's urban setting as a "laboratory" for learning. A major in sociology can prepare one for a variety of careers or for advanced professional studies. Cooperative Education a n d Internships enable majors t o apply the theo.ries and research skills of sociology while they explore career alternatives. Augsburg alumni w h o have majored in sociology a r e currently employed in the personnel departments of both government and private corporations, i n 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. Sociology Faculty: Diane Pike (Chairperson), Jerry Gerasimo, Gordon Nelson, Garry Hesser, Barbara Johnson Major: 10 courses including 121,349,362,363,375,485. Highly recommended: a Conservation of Human Resources (CHR) course, Internship, Cooperative Education, Independent Study or Upper Division Interim course in sociology. This recommendation is made in the hope that the student will take advantage of the variety of learning models offered through the Department. Consult Department Chairperson concerning areas of concentration. Honors Major: The student must have a minimum GPA of 3.5 in the major and 3.0 overall. Application for honors in sociology candidacy shall consist of submission of thesis proposal to Department Chairperson before April 1of the junior year. Candidacyis contingent upon Departmentalapproval of proposal by April 30 of junior year. After acceptanceas a candidate, the student will register for 499 to complete work on thesis. Honors in sociology will be granted to a candidate who successfully defends the thesis before March 31 of the senior year and maintains the GPA through graduation. Minor: 5 courses including 121 and 2 Upper Division courses (i.e., 300 and above). Certificate in Program Evaluation: 5 courses including 362 (or PSY 2641,363,399, CSC 145, and approved elective.

Systematicand periodic assessmentsof programs for social improvement are increasingly expected by government and funding agencies. For further information contact Department Chairperson. Principles of Sociology Sociology is a unique way of understanding the world. As an academic discipline and a profession, sociology provides insights into culture, roles, groups, interaction, inequality, and social structure. An essential tool for discovering the world and one's place in it. 199 Internship Lower DivisionInternship.Consult Internship Supervisorin the Department to determine project.

Fall, Interim, Spring) and Theatre Arts Department (SPC) + Communication Speech, communication, and theatre arts at Augsburg are humane studies designed to promote sensitivity and wisdom in the use of communication, since true communication aims to foster informed, responsible choice and shared understanding. The primary aim of the Department is to help students to communicate effectivelythrough both speaking and writing. The courses are designed (1) to promote the intellectual disciplines required for research, exposition, and argument; (2) to develop writing and speaking skills; (3) to build confidence, creativity, and ethical sensitivity; and (4) to provide a wide variety of realistic communication experiences. Communication careers call for a broad liberal arts education, so the communication major at Augsburg begins with a foundation of logic, psychology, sociology, literature, writing, and public speaking. In addition to these preparatory courses, the communication major requires five core courses: advanced writing, interpersonal communication, persuasive communication, mass media, and a communication Internship. With the help of a faculty adviser, the student selects five elective courses pertaining to one of the following communication emphases: journalism, public relations, supervisory management, human relations, broadcast media, speech or theatre arts education. For breadth we rec- ommend double majors, and for practical experience we recommend participation in co-curricular communication activities throughout the college years, climaxing in Internships under professional supervision. This major is also used as preparation for other fields, such as religion, politics, and law. The speech major is designed to prepare students for teaching in the secondary schools. Students should meet with a Departmental adviser as early as possible to plan the major and obtain a copy of the Departmental Handbook. + Theatre Arts Theatre is not primarily an extracurricular activity nor is it merely entertainment. As a laboratory that uses all of the liberal arts, theatre enhances a liberal arts education. By reliving how other people throughout history were thinking, feeling and struggling, actors have a greater understanding of their own humanity. Theatre enables students to experience the beauty, mystery, and ambiguity of life. Minneapolis-St. Paul is an ideal place to study theatre, because it is one of the major theatre centers in the United States. Augsburg students expand their knowledge of theatre not only by attending, but also by working in the professional and community theatres of the Twin Cities. Our theatre faculty has professional experience which enables them to provide realistic guidance to students. The Augsburg program encourages students to participate in all aspects of theatre production while providing each student the opportunity of emphasizing one specific area, such as acting, directing, or design. While the program is primarily designed to prepare students for educational theatre, graduates go into many other fields, such as professional theatre, television, film, advertising, business, and religion. Speech, Communication and Theatre Arts Faculty: Julie Bolton (Chairperson), Raymond Anderson, Deborah Bart, David Lapakko, Martha Johnson Honors Major: GPA of 3.5 in the major, 3.0 overall, 2 Independent Study projects of honors quality, distinguished performance in at least one of the communication arts, comprehensive examination in field of concentration. Application to be made early in the senior year.

Secondclass postage paid at Minneapolis, Minnesota. Augs,burgCollege lnterim The interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. It is particularly intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. Since one course equals a full time load, students should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as they would for a four course load during Fall and Spring semesters. 0 OCT NOV DEC Calendar for Full Credit Courses ....................................

There i s no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an interim course. Most interim courses are graded traditionally on a scale of 4.0 to 0. Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/No credit basis. A few interim courses are graded only on the P/N system; this i s indicated in the course description. Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division standing. Such interim courses have two numbers listed and the student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard. To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35 courses of which at least three must be interim courses (or one interim less than the number of years of full time enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a transfer enrolled full time for two years is required to complete one interim for graduation.) This Catalog This catalog lists courses by departments with departments listed in alphabetical order. At the end of the book are listings of other courses not offered by Augsburg but recognized by the College for interim credit. Further descriptions and information about these courses are available in the lnterim Office, Memorial 230. Students may also register for one of the Lifetime Sports listed on the last page.

Room: O M 11 8/l nterim Chemistry for Changing Times C H M 100 - 4009 Instructor: Arlin Gyberg This is a non-laboratory chemistry course based on the very popular book by John H. Hill of the same title. It is not a traditional chemistry course and does not assume a science background. Basic science and math are introduced early and are taught as needed for understanding the various topics and implications. The course does assume the student is interested in and concerned about the relationship of chemistry to life and living. Chemistry has been intimately a part of liberal education for centuries. The early scientists were considered to be philosophers and their societies were philosophical societies. In recent decades the human seeking of personal independence has led to chemistry becoming a part of everyday life to the point of actual dependence on chemistry. We live in a world of pesticides, fertilizers, plastics, "the pill," food additives and processed foods, vitamin supplements, the energy crisis, chemical dependency, biocides, pollutants, drugs, searching for life on other planets, genetic manipulation, and it goes on and on. Emotions and mental disorders can often be traced to chemical imbalance. The common dragged out, grumpy feeling after an afternoon nap is a result of a chemical imbalance. The nature of a hangover is the result of a complex system of altered body chemistry. Even learning appears to be the result of chemical reaction to form a "memory molecule." Most of the problems we face are molecular in nature. What then but chemistry can better help us to understand ourselves, our society, our world, and our universe? Come join us as we take a molecular look at the human condition. This course will be offered in a lecture/discussion format. Films will supplement the lecture/discussion periods. Quizzes and tests will be used for evaluation. This course does not satisfy prerequisites for Chemistry 106,116 or 223. Distribution: Chemistry-Biology Time: I . . ......

Room: L 4 Emily Dickinson: The Poems and the Person ENG 140 - 4018, 340 - 4019 Instructor: Ronald Palosaari Unknown in her lifetime, Emily Dickinson now is regarded as one of America's finest poets. Her poetry was so unknown that the sister who shared with her the family home did not know of it until, following Emily's deathbed instructions, she began to burn Emily's papers. What was spared the fire is now ours to devour. Emily Dickinson spent most of her life within the family home confining her relationships to a very few, being regarded as mysterious or eccentric by very many. Some biographers have suggested she retreated from the world to give herself to poetry since her time and place made no provision for a female professional poet. Others trace her seclusion to various family relationships or personal problems or frustrated dreams of love. Whatever the cause, out of the mystery of her life comes the glory of her poetry. During the interim we will study both her poetry and some of the major studies of her life. Each student will read one of her biographies as well as her poetry. Students who desire may pursue independent research in her biography or her poetry or in general historical topics that mav illumine either the Doems or the Derson. Studenk opting for upper d i i s i o n credit will be graded on a more rigorous level than those opting for lower division credit. Prerequisites: A course in literature or permission of instructor Distribution: English-Speech, Communication & Theater Arts Time: I.. Room: O M 16 . . . . .. 10/l nterim People Under Pressure ENG 211 - 4020 Instructor: Barbara Andersen The child, the youth, the middle-aged, the old, all live under pressure-political, social, religious and personal. What these pressures are and how people cope with them provide the focus for the course. This i s not, however, a course in depression, for pressure and stress often have positive results. And many people respond to pressure with courage, grace and even wit. We will read several genres, mostly of the 20th century, and works that are not usually covered in literature courses. Among the works being considered are Waters, The Man Who Killed the Deer; Potok, M y Name is Asher Lev; Brautigan, Trout Fishing i n America; Wright, Native Son; Pym, Excellent Women; Hassler, Simon's Night; Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea; Turgenev, Fathers and Sons; Albee, The American Dream and The Zoo Story; Anderson, I Never Sang for M y Father; Gordon, Final Payments. Students will have some choice of works to read. Evaluation will be based on discussions, some in-class writing, reading quizzes, oral reports (optional) and two examinations.

Six Guns and Samurai Swords: A Comparative Studyof American Western and Japanesesamurai Films ENG 233 - 4021 SOC 233 - 4058 Instructors: Jerry Gerasimo and John Mitchell The purpose of the course is to clarify the thematic form of the Western and the Samurai film by comparing their respective myths, their social premises, and their conventions: for example, the ritualized duel and the use of proxemic patterns (treatments of space) i n ways that are implicitly cultural. Although both genres are highly popular, they are vividly useful for esthetic, cultural, and anthropological comparison. Students will be required to attend all film presentations (approximately 10 feature films), to read selected texts, and to make a final written report. Laboratory Fee: $35 Distribution: English-Speech, Communication & Theater Arts Time: 1 1 . . . . . . . . Room: M 24 French Civilization Today FRE 332 - 4022 Instructor: Ruth Aaskov The study of 20th Century French civilization will extend and deepen our understanding of the French and the role of their country in the world today. We will investigate the concerns and the situation of the people vis-a-vis their family, friends, institutions, economy, government. The study of "documents authentiques" as well as articles, essays, Guide France, slides, music, art, and technology will help ascertain the major French contributions to our civilization since 1900. We will participate i n a variety of group and individualized activities: common readings with discussion, illustrated presentations, projects and reports, field trips and media experiences - all in order to broaden and deepen our French experience. Evaluation will include the completion of assigned tasks and reports, participation and contribution to the group, several brief quizzes, and individual progress in the ability to initiate, develop, and present a topic or study within the course. Materials will be largely i n French to assure an authentic French experience. Prerequisites: FRE 311 or consent of instructor Time: I........

Paris in the Nineteenth Century - HIS 114 4032 Instructor: Orloue Gisselquist The French are sometimes accused of thinking of Paris as the "navel of the universe." There's a bit of "sour grapes" caricature i n that clever statement. For if one could pick out a city which i n the last thousand years has been more important to Western Civilization than any other, one could make a good case for Paris. I n this course we will study the history of that city in one period of its greatness, the nineteenth century. We will use some readings about France, Paris, and Modern urbanism, but the main emphasis in our reading and approach to the subject will be the use of some nineteenth century French novels as historical sources for the study of Paris. We will thus have the opportunity to study the city of Paris in this century in some fullness, read some great literature, and develop our talents i n the use of historical material. As a bonus we will double (maybe quadruple!) our enjoyment of a future trip to Paris. The course will be conducted i n part as a lecture course and in part as a seminar (discussion of readings, short papers, and shared reports-all part of the evaluation). There will be a final exam.

We also believe that a liberal arts education is the best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively. Discovering your Gifts and Talents The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg Core Curriculum — designed to prepare students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens. Through “Search for Meaning” courses, students explore their own unique gifts and interests and find where their own talents intersect with the needs of our global society. At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve for a lifetime: writing, speaking, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a few. Thanks to Augsburg’s prime location in the heart of a thriving metropolitan area, many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense, the resources of the Twin Cities are an extended campus for Augsburg students. Selection from over 50 Majors Augsburg offers more than 50 majors— or you can create your own major, either on campus or through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See page 58 for a complete list of majors and minors.) This five-college consortium allows day program students to take courses on other campuses without charge while a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC includes Augsburg College, the College of St. Catherine, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas. Weekend College offers 17 majors and five certificate programs. MISSION STATEMENT . Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, “Education for Service,” and 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.” HISTORY . A College of the Church Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879. About Augsburg 11 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 130 years. Education for Service Keeping the vision of the democratic college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second president (1876-1907), required students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg’s motto, “Education for Service.” In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary. The 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 II, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College was a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention. Accreditation for the College Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college program based on general education requirements and elective majors. With curriculum change came a concerted effort to become accredited. Full accreditation was achieved in 1954. A study in 1962 defined the College’s mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. Subsequently, the American Lutheran Church merged 12 About Augsburg with two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. 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 Hall, Urness Hall, Christensen Center, Ice Arena, and Murphy Place. Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg’s commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events, increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication; the Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell Family Library. Dr. William V. Frame became president in August 1997 and retired in 2006. Under his leadership, the College sharpened its identity as a college of the city, providing an education, grounded in vocational calling, that provides students both the theoretical learning and the practical experience to succeed in a global, diverse world. Dr. Paul C. Pribbenow became the 11th president of Augsburg College in July 2006. Under his leadership, the College aims to educate students of all ages — in the midst of a great city — to be faithful citizens of the world. AUGSBURG TODAY . Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed: • An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church; • Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative, and successful citizens; • The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg students. Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution set in the heart of a great metropolitan center. There are now over 20,000 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 Augsburg’s traditional undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences, Augsburg offers master’s degree programs in business, education, leadership, nursing, physician assistant studies, and social work. For information on graduate programs, go to www.augsburg.edu. Undergraduate education is offered both on weekday semester programs, and alternate weekend trimester programs. The graduate programs generally follow the trimester schedule. About Augsburg 13 In addition to its Minneapolis campus, Augsburg has a branch campus in Rochester, Minn., and offers a bachelor’s completion degree in nursing in the Twin Cities at United, Mercy, and Unity hospitals. AUGSBURG FOR ADULTS . Augsburg for Adults is focused on all adult-centered educational programs, from community seminars to graduate degrees. Adult students, who are recognized as learners from age 25 to 60-plus, have different educational needs and goals than traditional-aged students, and Augsburg for Adults assists adult learners in their educational journey, whether they take classes in the traditional weekday undergraduate program or one of the Augsburg for Adults programs listed below. For information on Augsburg’s master’s degree programs, see the Augsburg College Graduate Studies Catalog. Augsburg for Adults aims to evaluate how each program fulfills students’ needs and to bridge any gaps in providing quality education and student services. ■ WEEKEND COLLEGE Augsburg’s Weekend College (WEC) offers the same undergraduate degree as in the traditional weekday program on alternate weekends as an opportunity for adults who want to complete a baccalaureate degree, but who work or have other commitments during the week. Some classes may meet on weekday evenings. It is a means by which men and women can gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts. Weekend College began in 1982 with 69 students taking courses in three majors. Eight courses were offered in the first term. Today, with approximately 1,000 students enrolled each term and 17 majors, WEC is one of the largest programs of its type among Minnesota private colleges. Augsburg’s Weekend College understands that adult students are resourceful and motivated learners who seek a combination of classroom experience and individual study. Each course includes periods of concentrated, on-campus study as well as time for independent study and class preparation. Most courses include a Webbased course management site. Alternate Weekend Schedule To meet the needs of nontraditional students, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three-and-a-half to four hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. Laboratory sections or additional class hours may be scheduled during the week. WEC students may take from one to four courses each term. Selected courses are also available on weekday evenings and are open to both Day and Weekend College students. The WEC academic year is divided into three trimesters. A Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. This community in enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages WEC students to make use of College facilities, such as Lindell Library and the Christensen Center, and to participate in academic and co-curricular activities, such as the student newspaper, travel seminars, student organizations, and fine arts. The WEC student body elects its own leaders and a WEC Student Senate. 14 About Augsburg Weekend College Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and the WEC faculty are fulltime Augsburg professors as well as adjunct faculty who bring professional experience to their teaching. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activities at the College. Professors are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories. Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. ■ ROCHESTER CAMPUS Augsburg’s branch campus in Rochester was established in 1998 as a natural extension of the College’s mission and its expertise in teaching working adults. In Rochester, six undergraduate majors, plus a certificate program in business management are offered. The Rochester campus classrooms and offices are located at Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA), a few blocks south of the heart of the city. Rochester contains approximately 100,000 residents and enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior technological resources. Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a trimester schedule, on weekday evenings and on occasional Saturdays, making them accessible to working adults. Several complete degree programs are available through the Rochester campus. In addi- tion, students may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of Rochester-based courses and courses taken in the Day or WEC program in Minneapolis. Students at the Rochester campus are Augsburg College students. They are supported through an array of e-learning resources ranging from access to Lindell Library databases to the use of online course management software. Information about the Rochester campus is available at www.augsburg.edu/rochester or by calling the Rochester office at 507-288-2886. ■ PARTNER HOSPITALS PROGRAM Also within Weekend College, Augsburg offers a bachelor’s completion degree in nursing for registered nurses at three area hospitals, making their education convenient to their workplace. Classes are taught at United Hospital in St. Paul, with videoconferencing of these classes to classrooms in Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids and Unity Hospital in Fridley. ■ COLLEGE OF THE THIRD AGE In 1976, Augsburg initiated one of the first programs in the country that offers classes for older adults, taught in their neighborhoods at churches and senior residences. A variety of classes is offered, and many of the instructors are retired Augsburg faculty. The College of the Third Age is located at 620 21st. Ave. ■ CAMPUS LOCATION Augsburg’s campus is located in the heart of the Twin Cities, surrounding Murphy Square, the first of 170 parks in Minneapolis, the “City of Lakes.” The University of Minnesota West Bank campus and one of the city’s largest medical complexes—University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview—are adjacent to About Augsburg 15 Augsburg, with the Mississippi River and the Seven Corners theatre district just a few blocks away.

Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed. • The Augsburg College Refund Policy for Day, Weekend, Rochester, Partner Hospitals, and Graduate Studies. The refund schedule is based on the percentage of class time remaining on the date of the student’s official withdrawal from class. This applies to all students who drop one or more courses during each term. Percentage of class time remaining after official drop or withdrawal: Amount of refund: 100% to 90% remaining Full refund (minus $100 administrative fee) 89% to 50% remaining Refund equals the percentage of term remaining 49% or less remaining No refund This refund schedule is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. Please allow two weeks for tuition and possible financial aid adjustments to be finalized. If a credit balance remains on the student’s account, a credit refund check will be issued at that time. The refund of charges calculation used is the Augsburg College Refund Policy stated above. Students may appeal refund decisions through the Financial Petition Committee. Petition forms are available in the Enrollment Center. ■ MEDICAL REFUND If a student is forced to withdraw from one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, the refund will include the normal refund percentage (based on the regular refund schedule), plus one-half of the remaining tuition and fees. This extra medical refund will be considered upon submission of documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances. Requests for medical refunds should be made through the Financial Petition Committee. ■ UNOFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL Federal regulations require that records of financial aid recipients who earn failing grades in all their classes be reviewed. If courses are not completed (e.g. unofficial withdrawal, stopped attending), the College is required to refund financial aid to the appropriate sources according to federal or Augsburg refund policies based on the last recorded date of attendance. Students are responsible for the entire cost of the term including the portion previously covered by financial aid should they stop attending. Students are strongly urged to follow guidelines for complete withdrawal from college. If there are extenuating circumstances, a petition to have the cost of tuition refunded can be made. Petition forms are available in the Enrollment Center. 32 Financial Information A student who registers, does not attend any classes, and does not withdraw may petition to withdraw retroactively. The student must petition within six months of the end of term and provide proof of nonattendance.

All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must establish financial aid eligibility on an annual basis. This includes completing the application process as outlined below and making satisfactory academic progress. In order to maintain eligibility in financial aid programs, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the attainment of their degree or certificate as stipulated in the College catalog and as published on the Academic Progress Standards for Financial Aid Recipients webpage <www.augsburg.edu/enroll/finaid/standards.html>. Financing higher education could be the most significant investment a person or family makes in a lifetime. Proper planning and wise choices are important, not only in choosing a college, but also in the methods used to pay for it. Augsburg College, through its Enrollment Center, will help students and their families protect access to a quality Augsburg education in a time of increasing financial challenge. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 2007-2008 academic year, more than eight out of ten students at Augsburg received financial assistance. The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid supplements student and family resources. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), current tax documents, and Augsburg Verification Worksheet help determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational expenses, debts, retirement needs, and special considerations. ■ HOW TO APPLY The following are required to process your financial aid application: 1.

Whether students are residents or commuters, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to their education. CAMPUS MINISTRY . As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth is evident in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their own faith. Because our campus is comprised of individuals from many different religious and cultural backgrounds, our worship life is characterized by a similar diversity and richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth groups, outreach teams and community outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are examples of the wide variety of activities on campus. This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students gather for Holy Communion. Weekend College Chapel is held each Saturday morning when classes meet. On Sundays, Trinity Lutheran worship services are held on campus, with many other churches within walking distance. We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to use and discover the gifts and sense of call and vocation that God has given them. As a college of the church, we encourage students to form values guided by our Christian heritage, which will be the basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond their years at Augsburg. The college pastor, associate college pastor, and campus ministry staff have offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or information. VOCATION . Augsburg College created a program entitled Exploring Our Gifts through the generous support of the Lilly Endowment. Established in Spring 2002, the Exploring Our Gifts program is designed to help students in their college journey to make connections between faith, vocation, and work. The program assists students in this journey by intentionally introducing vocational themes into the curriculum, co-curricular activities, service-learning experiences, and mentoring relationships at the College. Exploring Our Gifts also provides resources to encourage students to consider Christian ministry. Contact the director of Exploring Our Gifts for further information about the program. STUDENT GOVERNMENT . The members of the Augsburg student body, in order to further the educational goals and general welfare of the college community, developed their own governing system. Their purpose is to establish and provide guidelines for two studentelected organizations to represent the Day Student Body and the Weekend College (WEC) Student Body. These organizations are to support and advocate for student concerns, needs, and activities. They serve Student Life 39 as the primary voice and liaison between students and the administration, faculty, and staff of Augsburg. These groups collectively oversee the use and administration of the student activities fee. To aid in this work they have established an executive board and several student leadership committees. Additionally, in collaboration with the campus activities and orientation department, they oversee the management of all campus student organizations. ORIENTATION AND. CAMPUS ACTIVITIES . ■ ORIENTATION PROGRAMS The campus activities and orientation department staff understand what important transitions our students are making, whether transitioning from high school to college or from another college to Augsburg. Both experiences introduce their own challenges and excitement. A specialized orientation program for new and transfer day program students has been developed with this in mind. The goal is to create a seamless and successful academic and social transition into the Augsburg community, while encouraging our community members to become engaged, connected, and reflective learners. SOAR, our first year orientation program, is built on a peer mentoring philosophy which helps students establish connections with a returning student. SOAR is a fun experience that helps students learn more about Augsburg’s beautiful urban campus and community, its excellent academic programs, and the outstanding resources that make being an Auggie so rewarding and Augsburg such a great place to study. The orientation program for transfer students is offered at the beginning of each semester. TRANSFER-mation is designed to address different areas students will experience in their transition to Augsburg. Many transfer students are concerned about connecting and establishing their social base, so activities have been designed to assist with developing social relationships. ■ AUGGIE DAYS The focus of Auggie Days is to help students develop an awareness of self, self in the community, and self in the world, in addition to the more tangible needs of acclimating to life at Augsburg. Starting with move-in day and lasting for nine full days, this fall transition program is designed to help one get to know Augsburg, the city, the neighborhood, classmates, the faculty, the staff ... and for campus activities staff to get to know the students! Activities include speakers and discussion, concerts, small group meetings with faculty, art exhibitions, festivals and fairs by on-campus organizations, chances to get to know other Auggies, athletic events, games, food and fun, and other events through the whole week. It is a time when the whole community celebrates the arrival of new students as well as the return of all students. ■ CAMPUS ACTIVITIES The mission for campus activities programming is to support individual identity and enhance social and communal development. We strive to create an environment that allows students to connect, engage, and invest in the Augsburg experience and to recognize the benefits associated with student engagement outside of the classroom. The department works to sup- 40 Student Life plement the liberal arts instruction of the College through transitional programs for new students as well as through leadership education and student involvement. The campus activities department empowers students to learn and experience leadership and become investors in the institution, while acknowledging the value of faith, urban life, relationships, and citizenship as fundamental components. This understanding recognizes that we are a community of leaders and global citizens in a world that is constantly changing. STUDENT CENTER . Christensen Center, our student center, represents the community center of the campus environment, serving students, faculty, staff, alumni and guests.

Students should check their campus mailbox and their student e-mail account regularly. The A-Mail is a daily online publication on AugNet. 52 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 95 and in the Student Guide distributed annually to students. Augsburg College understands that no information other than “directory information” can be released without the written permission of the student, except in limited circumstances. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. This means that faculty or others cannot write letters of support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written permission is given by the student to release non-“directory information.” It is not sufficient to ask for letters of recommendation. Complete information about Augsburg’s procedures with regard to FERPA are available from the Office of the Registrar. ■ DISCRIMINATION COMPLAINTS For inquiries or grievances in any of the following areas, contact the director of human resources, ground floor, Memorial Hall 19, 612-330-1023.

To act effectively, human beings must have a broad grasp of the world from which they have come as well as the world in which they live. By providing courses in the humanities, fine arts, natural sciences, and social sciences, the general education curriculum introduces students to the breadth and complexity of knowledge and culture. Required Search for Meaning courses are designed to acquaint students with the Christian tradition, introduce them to other faith traditions, and encourage them to reflect upon the importance and meaning of spirituality in their lives. Recreation courses offer students opportunities to develop skills for participation in exercise and sporting activities. Students choose from 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. ■ DEGREES OFFERED Augsburg offers the bachelor of arts, the bachelor of music, and the bachelor of science degrees. Augsburg also offers the master of arts (in leadership, nursing, and education), the master of business administration, the master of science (in physician assistant studies), and the master of social work degrees. ■ ACADEMIC CALENDAR The Augsburg day program follows the semester calendar, with fall and spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks. Fulltime students normally take four course credits each semester. The day program calendar is coordinated with those of the four other colleges of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities, so students can take a course on another campus during the regular term.** Weekend College classes meet on alternate weekends and the program follows a trimester calendar. Some classes may meet on weekday evenings. The fall trimester is held from early September through midDecember. Winter trimester meets from January through early April. Spring classes are held from mid-April through the end of June. There are 7-8 class sessions each trimester, and classes meet on weekends for 3-1/2 to 4 hours. (Refer to the program schedule for weekday evening meeting times.) Students may take from one to four classes each term.** The Rochester campus operates on a trimester calendar. Classes are held on weekday evenings and meet alternate weeks. Similar to Weekend College, Rochester’s fall trimester begins in September, winter trimester begins in January, and spring trimester begins in April. There are 7-8 class sessions each trimester with each class meeting for 3-1/2 to 4 hours. Students may take one to four classes each term.** **(See Registration on pages 73-75 and Calendars on pages 4-7) Courses and majors offered through Weekend College and the Rochester campus are the same as their Day College counterparts. However, the curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts courses and majors. Academic Information 55 Augsburg offers three summer school sessions, including a summer online option. The summer session schedule is available in the winter of each year. Augsburg graduate programs follow a trimester calendar, except for physician assistant studies. (See Graduate Programs on page 70.) ■ FACULTY The heart of any educational institution is its faculty. Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a doctorate or the highest degree in their field, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are also involved in a variety of professional and research activities that support their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that introduces them to current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching techniques and theories. Augsburg’s size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. Every first-year is assigned an Augsburg Seminar adviser and, later, chooses a major adviser. In this close interaction, faculty act as both mentors and models for students. ■ LIBRARY AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES The James G. Lindell Family Library opened in 1997. The four-level, 73,000square-foot facility houses all library and information technology functions of the College. In addition to the 190,000 volume main collection, the Lindell Library includes special collections and archives, curriculum library, a computer lab and stu- dent computing help desk, library instruction classroom, and facilities for media viewing and listening. Skyways link the library to the new Oren Gateway Building as well as to Sverdrup Hall, which houses the Enrollment Center, additional computer labs and multimedia classrooms, a lounge, and a vending area. Learning Commons Within Lindell Library, a Learning Commons provides assistance in research and the use of technology as well as spaces for collaborative learning. In the Learning Commons multimedia lab, students can create digital audio and visual projects. Library Resources Students can search a wide variety of local, regional, national, and international databases. They have access to 190,000 volumes within Lindell Library and, through a daily courier service, to the library holdings of the seven private liberal arts colleges in the Twin Cities. Lindell Library has a large collection of media resources. A service-oriented staff provides students and faculty with research assistance and instruction in the use of information resources. Arrangements are made for access by students with physical limitation and special needs. Information Technology Resources Augsburg College has built a reputation as a leader in its commitment to provide students with the best access to information technology and training. Visit the Student Technology website <www.augsburg.edu/techdesk> for more on IT at Augsburg. 56 Academic Information Computing Students have access to over 250 oncampus computers. There are both PC and Macintosh desktop computers available in the Lindell Library Learning Commons and computer lab and in the 24-hour Urness computer lab. The College has six computer classrooms and 41 technologyenhanced classrooms. The circulation desk in the Lindell Library has 40 wireless laptops available for use in the Library. Several computer clusters are available for more specific student use within academic departments. A high-speed fiber optic campus network provides access to AugNet online services, printing, and connections to the Internet and Internet2. Network-ready student machines can connect to the campus network from dormitory rooms or on 80% of the campus using WiFi. All of the AugNet online services and several of the Registrar’s student services are available securely on the Web to students on and off-campus. ACADEMIC ORGANIZATION AND. PROGRAMS . ■ DIVISIONS AND DEPARTMENTS The College curriculum is offered by 26 departments that are grouped into three divisions for administrative and instructional purposes. Fine Arts and Humanities— American Indian studies, art, communication studies, English, history, modern languages, music, philosophy, religion, theatre arts, College librarians. Natural and Social Sciences— Biology, chemistry, computer science, economics, mathematics, physics, political science, psychology, sociology. Professional Studies—Business administration, education, health and physical education, nursing, social work. ■ MAJORS AND MINORS Majors, or concentrations of study, may be within one department, within one division, or may cross academic disciplines. Some students decide on a major or majors before they enter college. Others explore a variety of disciplines before deciding. The College requires students to declare a major by the end of the sophomore year, and earlier in some disciplines. Details of majors and minors are in the course description section. Unless otherwise indicated, majors are part of the bachelor of arts degree. Minors are not noted on the transcript if they are completed after a baccalaureate degree has been awarded. Student-Designed Major Students may design their own major with the assistance and approval of three advisers from relevant fields and subsequent final approval by the Augsburg College Academic Affairs Committee (AAC). A student-designed major allows flexibility in selecting major courses. Any student wishing to design a major must complete a proposal, submit it with approval and supporting letters from three faculty advisers, and obtain AAC approval of the program. Students should seek AAC approval as early as possible so that any changes suggested by AAC may be incorporated into the design without affecting the student’s proposed completion date. The deadline for initial submission of the program design to AAC is the first term in which the student has achieved junior status; the final version must be approved the Academic Information 57 term before the student achieves senior status. Students wishing to design majors must: 1. Develop the student-designed major in concert with three faculty advisers from relevant fields, who together constitute the Review Team. All advisers must sign the proposal cover sheet and submit supporting letters of approval to AAC. Supporting letters should assess BOTH the student’s ability to complete the proposed major and the validity and value of the proposed major, including (in at least one of the letters) the proposed capstone course. The advisers’ signatures and supporting letters represent their approval of the program, including the capstone course, and their commitment to oversee the student’s progress. 2. Develop a student-designed major program proposal that includes: a. A statement of learning goals and objectives. b. A list of proposed courses (minimum of nine, no more than one of which is a lower-level language course and at least five of which are upper division) and a discussion of how the courses are related to the program goals. Indicate how the proposed courses collectively support a specialized and cohesive plan usually associated with a college major. Proposals must include research describing comparable programs of study at a minimum of three other academic institutions. In addition, students should consult with the Center for Service, Work, and Learning for additional information regarding career objectives. The proposal should provide information showing how the Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements (including graduation skills) are to be fulfilled. c. A description of the student-designed major capstone to be taken sometime during the senior year. The student should devise the capstone in consultation with advisers. It should require an integrative project/paper that draws together the course work up to that point and/or prepares one for further study. In addition, at least one of the advisers must specifically address the rationale for the proposed capstone in his or her supporting letter, though approval of the student-designed major program by all advisers presumes their approval of the capstone course. 3. Submit the completed proposal and supporting documentation to the Dean’s Office. If AAC approves the proposed major program, the student will be expected to complete the program designed and still meet all of the other Augsburg degree requirements as stated in the college catalog. Students who design their own majors will meet with their advisers regularly throughout the design and subsequent evaluation of their program. Changes in the approved student-designed major may be made through the normal petition process to the Student Standing Committee with adviser approval. 58 Academic Information Listings that are shaded are offered through both the day program and Weekend College. Weekend/Rochester/ Partner Hospitals students may choose a major offered in the day program if they wish, but must adhere to crossover registration policies and limitations. They may also take as many courses as possible through Weekend College, then finish the major as a day program student. A change of program is allowed once each academic year, and will take effect the following term. MAJORS AND AREAS OF EMPHASIS.

We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education. Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike any other honors program in the nation because it gives students the resources and freedom to build their own ideal higher education. Students have the opportunity to create their own courses, edit and write for the Augsburg Review of Undergraduate Scholarship, participate in an intramural debate league, belong to an Honors House, and learn through small reading groups, research projects, and travel around the world. Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students, and includes a challenging “signature experience” such as writing a play, putting great books on trial, or building an interactive museum exhibit. Honors courses bring in professors from several different departments so you can learn from talented professors teaching their specialties. For information, please contact Robert C. Groven, Honors Program director, e-mail address honors@augsburg.edu. ■ INTER-INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities area on several programs. Cooperating Libraries in Consortium (CLIC)—Through CLIC, the Twin Cities private colleges library consortium, the Augsburg community has direct access to over 2,500,000 volumes and media resources. Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC)—Full-time day students at Augsburg and the St. Paul colleges and universities of Hamline, Macalester, St. Catherine, and St. Thomas may elect to take one course each semester (fall and spring) at one of the other campuses. No additional fee is required for such an exchange, except for private instruction in music or approved independent studies. Students may elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain new perspectives, to get better acquainted with the other schools, or to undertake a specific course or major not offered on the home campus. A regularly scheduled bus shuttles students between the campuses. Weekend College is not part of the ACTC consortium, and weekend students may not register for ACTC courses or complete ACTC majors under the terms of the ACTC consortium agreements. Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA)—Augsburg, in cooperation with 17 other colleges and universities, offers off-campus study semesters in Scandinavia, Europe, Bangladesh, South and Central America, and the Twin Cities.

Services include: Academic Requirements and Credit Students fulfill the Augsburg Experience requirement on approved programs. Courses taken abroad can also fulfill graduation requirements including major, minor, language, liberal arts foundation, and internship requirements. This is determined prior to departure when students fill out the required Credit Agreement form that is signed by academic advisers and appropriate staff and faculty approving courses. Students should be aware of the following policies related to study abroad: • Students can study abroad more than once. • Study abroad program selection advising • Students can study abroad at any point in their academic career. • Financial and academic advising for study abroad Semester and Summer Programs • Registration and billing for study abroad • Courses taken on off-campus programs during the senior year will meet the Augsburg residency requirement. • Pre-departure and re-entry support (application, orientation, etc.) • You must take a full load of credits while abroad on semester programs. • Faculty-led, short-term program coordination • You must take courses A-F while abroad. About half of Augsburg undergraduate students are studying abroad. Graduate students also find short-term programs as part of their curriculum. Students abroad will find themselves in a variety of locales and studying a variety of disciplines: studying gender issues in Central America; acting with masks in Norway; interning with community organizations in Northern Ireland; studying political science in Namibia; learning about ecology in Tanzania; taking organic chemistry in New Zealand; and learning a language where it is spoken. • Grades received on affiliated and nonAugsburg programs will be reported on your transcript, but not figured into your GPA. • A “C” equivalent or higher must be received for the credit to transfer to Augsburg. Faculty-led Short-term Programs • Students must register for all courses required by the short-term program. Credit values may vary, so confirm the specific program credit load with the Augsburg Abroad Office. Any courses removed by the student without Augsburg Abroad permis- 64 Academic Information sion prior to the start of the program will be re-added to the student’s schedule. If no work was completed in these reinstated courses, a grade of zero will be awarded. program. The student is responsible for all non-recoverable program costs incurred. • Overload Fee Exemption for Facultyled January programs: January faculty-led programs are placed within the spring semester. However, you will not be billed an overload fee if you take 4.0 or 4.5 credits in the spring. The overload fee is the only policy affected; a student taking minimal credits in the spring can use it as a spring course in order to be considered part-time or full-time. Augsburg Abroad manages the advising and administrative processes so students will also need to meet the eligibility requirements of, and apply to, a program provider (as outlined in the Study Abroad Programs section). Additionally, students who have applied to the Augsburg Abroad office, for any program, must email their intent to withdraw if they choose not to continue with study abroad. Failure to e-mail may result in fees owed by the student. • Crossover Policy Exemption: The crossover policy does not apply to study abroad students. WEC students who do a study abroad program placed in the Day program do not count that as their crossover course and similarly for day students doing a study abroad program placed in a WEC term. Eligibility and Application The following are Augsburg College’s requirements for study abroad: • Minimum 2.5 GPA at the time of application. Individual programs may require a higher average. Students with lower averages should consult with Augsburg Abroad. • Sophomore, junior or senior standing by the time you study abroad. Short-term, faculty-led programs will allow participation as a first-year if the student receives approval from the faculty-leader. • Transfer students must complete one semester at Augsburg before they may study off campus. • Not be on academic or disciplinary probation. Students placed on academic or disciplinary probation after admittance to study abroad may be withdrawn from the • Not have an outstanding balance on your student account. Application deadlines for semester programs are October 1 for spring semester study abroad and March 1 for fall semester study abroad. Program provider deadlines will vary; students need to meet all deadlines set by program providers. Students should start planning in first year for study abroad to be sure to do appropriate research and meet all deadlines. Students are responsible for disclosing their disability and requesting accommodations abroad within a reasonable time frame prior to departure, ideally as early as program selection. Augsburg Abroad will work closely with CLASS and ACCESS offices to determine needs and make appropriate and possible accommodations abroad. Costs and Financial Aid Study abroad is based on program fees which is a package of costs that generally includes tuition, housing, international health insurance, some meals, excursions, and study abroad fees however this varies from program to program. Augsburg College pays the program provider on the students’ behalf and then bills the Academic Information 65 Augsburg student account. This allows students to access their financial aid for study abroad. Students will always pay a minimum of Augsburg tuition when studying abroad. Students who receive financial aid, scholarships, and/or grants to study at Augsburg can use that entire package to cover their study abroad program costs. Cost estimates for the time abroad are drawn up to assist the financial aid office in awarding aid to students studying abroad. Students are required to notify Augsburg Abroad immediately once they choose not to continue with their study abroad experience. At the moment of notification non-recoverable costs will be assessed and charged to the student account. Depending on the time of notification of withdrawal students may owe nothing, the deposit, or some, or all, of the program fee. Students are also subject to the cancellation and refund policies of their program provider. Study Abroad Programs Students have over 200 programs in over 60 countries from which to choose. In addition to the below Augsburg College programs, students can choose from affiliated program providers. These programs have been reviewed to meet the Augsburg experience requirement, diverse needs of students, and provide quality student service. The programs are reviewed each year. If students cannot find a program that meets their needs from the Augsburg College or Augsburg-affiliated options then they can apply to do a non-Augsburg program. Students with a strong academic or financial reason, faculty support (as shown on the Credit Agreement form), and who choose a good quality program, may be approved. The Center for Global Education The mission of the Center for Global Education at Augsburg College is to provide cross-cultural educational opportunities in order to foster critical analysis of local and global conditions so that personal and systemic change takes place leading to a more just and sustainable world. The center’s study programs are conducted in Central America, Mexico, and Namibia. Students experience three distinct types of living situations: living with other students in a community house, spending several days in a rural setting, and several weeks living with host families. In the Mexico and Namibia programs, students travel together on two-week seminars — from Mexico to Central America, and from Namibia to South Africa. The cost of these programs is equivalent to full tuition, room, and board for one semester on campus, plus airfare. (Some travel scholarships are available for Augsburg students.) Crossing Borders: Gender and Social Change in Mesoamerica (Mexico) — Fall Learn about the central issues facing Mesoamerica, with emphasis on the experience and empowerment of women. Students will engage in gender analysis of key social, economic, political, and cultural issues in Mexico and El Salvador; explore the interconnectedness of race, class, and gender; and learn first hand from both women and men who are involved in struggles for sustainable development and social change. The program offers credit in religion, political science, women’s studies, and Spanish. Internships and independent studies are also available. The program begins with a one-week seminar/orientation in the U.S-Mexico border region and ends with a two-week seminar 66 Academic Information in El Salvador. Students stay in guest houses while traveling, spend approximately six weeks in Augsburg housing, and four to six weeks living with Mexican host families. Prerequisite: one college-level Spanish course or its equivalent. International Business and Global Citizenship (Mexico) — Fall apartheid and colonialism, they are faced with the challenges posed by today’s world: rapid globalization and under and unequal development. Decolonizing the mind is a long-term project. Credit is available in history, religion, political science, and interdisciplinary studies. Internships are also available. The largest immigrant group in the United States is composed of people born in Mexico, and Mexico is front and center in debates about globalization and U.S. immigration policy.

The center encourages students to take advantage of Augsburg’s metropolitan location through the highly successful service-learning, Campus Kitchen, internship, and career planning programs that link the College’s academic programs to community organizations and businesses. Service- and work-based experiential education opportunities are closely related to students’ coursework, majors, and/or career interests. Learning opportunities may be in non-profit organizations, churches, schools, government agencies, community-based organizations, small and mid-size companies, and large corporations. 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. The Center for Service, Work, and Learning includes the following programs: Community Service-Learning Augsburg’s Community ServiceLearning Program provides students with opportunities to understand and respond to needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences and civic engagement. A key component of community service-learning includes reflection on and analysis of community issues in order to promote personal and educational growth and civic responsibility. Through connecting classroom content with service, Augsburg students learn from and about the organizations where they serve and deepen their understanding of course knowledge. This dynamic and interactive educational approach employs reciprocal learning between the students and the community. Community service-learning examples include tutoring at schools and literacy centers; volunteering at homeless shelters, Habitat for Humanity, and community centers; or working with cultural and environmental groups. Academic Information 69 The service-learning program also works closely with the student-directed Augsburg LINK and campus ministry. Campus Kitchen at Augsburg The Campus Kitchen at Augsburg College (CKAC) is a unique student led program that brings together Augsburg student, faculty and staff volunteers, the campus food service, local food banks, and neighborhood community organizations to utilize surplus food to meet hunger and nutritional needs in our neighborhood. CKAC volunteers coordinate food donations, prepare and deliver free meals to area community partners, and teach nutrition education to local youth. Key program goals are to provide leadership development and service learning opportunities for Augsburg students, encourage deeper understanding of hunger issues, and foster a long-lasting commitment to service and active citizenship. Affiliated with the Campus Kitchens Project, a non-profit organization in Washington, D.C., this program is one of only 12 in the nation. ■ INTERNSHIPS Academic Credit An academic internship is a carefully planned, service- or work-based learning experience where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning objectives. Academic credit is received for the learning derived from the experience. A learning agreement plan, negotiated with a faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlines the internship objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods. 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. Internships can be registered for 1 course credit or .5 course credit. Internships are available in all majors and can be taken during a semester (or Weekend College trimester), or summer sessions. Inter-disciplinary internships are also available. For extension of an internship beyond one term see Evaluation and Grading on page 88. A maximum of four courses of internship may count toward the total courses required for the degree. Transcript Notation Non-credit internships related to a student’s major or career objective can be registered for a zero-credit transcript notation. The goal is for students to apply theory to practice in a work setting and reflect on the experience. Work opportunities typically are part-time during the academic year and/or full-time in the summer and can begin and end anytime. Students must register for the non-credit transcript notation, set learning goals and evaluate their experience. The director of the Center for Service, Work, and Learning supervises transcript notation work experiences. Academic internships and internships for zero-credit may be used to fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement. Career Services Career Services is committed to providing opportunities and programs to help students discover their unique gifts, talents, skills, and interests, explore career paths, and grapple with questions of vocation and purpose in a changing world. This process is viewed as an important part of a student’s development while attending college. To aid in this process, career staff provide career related assessments, one-onone career planning, and coaching. Staff 70 Academic Information also assist with choosing majors, locating internships, preparing for job searches, graduate school applications, and making connections to community, business, and alumni resources. ■ GRADUATE PROGRAMS Augsburg College offers six graduate degree programs: Master of Arts in Education, Master of Arts in Leadership, Master of Arts in Nursing, Master of Business Administration, Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, and Master of Social Work. Consult the Augsburg Graduate Studies catalog for complete information. The Master of Arts in Education offers initial licensure coursework at the graduate level in elementary education, secondary education, and special education: E/BD and LD. Students are able to take up to six licensure courses at the graduate level and complete their licensure programs with a combination of graduate and undergraduate coursework. Students can then apply their graduate level licensure courses to complete a master’s degree program. Students will complete their master’s degrees through a combination of MAL coursework and graduate level education coursework (total of nine courses). Licensed teachers also can pursue special education: E/BD and/or LD, as well as the K-12 Reading Licensure Endorsement licensure at the graduate level. The program is available through the Weekend College schedule, and the admissions process begins with the Adult and Graduate Admissions office. For further information about the programs, contact the Education Department or the admissions office. The Master of Arts in Leadership is based on a liberal arts approach to leadership studies. This cross-disciplinary pro- gram directs its academic content and pedagogical approaches to situations, issues, and problems relevant to organizational leaders. Augsburg’s program recognizes that today’s leaders need a broad spectrum of abilities to provide them with a more comprehensive understanding of their world. Designed for working adults, the program offers courses primarily on alternate Saturdays. (Note: A five-year program is available to Augsburg undergraduate accounting majors that would qualify them for CPA certification and fulfill requirements for a B.A. in Accounting and an M.A. in Leadership. See the Accounting major section of the catalog for further information.) The Master of Arts in Nursing prepares nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural community health nursing practice across care settings, with emphasis on addressing health inequities among diverse populations. The program is offered within the context of a Christian liberal arts education. Graduates are eligible to apply for national certification in Advanced Community Health Nursing, or Advanced Nursing Administration through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), and/or Advanced Certification in Transcultural Nursing through the Transcultural Nursing Society (TCNS). Classes meet on a flexible schedule (every other week or once per month) that includes weekdays, weekday evenings, and Saturdays. Web-enhanced pedagogies are used for all classes. Practicums include optional short-term study abroad experiences. Students may choose to study in Mexico, Guatemala, Namibia, Pine Ridge, S.Dak., and/or Europe. The Master of Arts in Nursing Program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education in accordance with its accreditation standards and procedures. Academic Information 71 The Master of Business Administration is designed to give students mastery of the skills and knowledge necessary to advance in their careers and accept roles of greater responsibility in an organization. Meeting primarily on one evening per week, this challenging program is designed to be completed in 23 months. Organized in cohort format, the program encourages learning in a collaborative small-group environment and features a high level of interaction and attention from the faculty. The program focuses on giving students the ability to think critically and effectively manage in complex environments. An intensive Management Consulting course allows students to apply theory and classroom learning to an actual business or organizational environment. Local businesses and organizations provide a laboratory for students as they complete comprehensive projects in various disciplines and functions. The core program can be enhanced through participation in a number of concentrations including finance, healthcare management, human resource management, international business, and marketing management. The Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies is designed for students interested in careers as health care providers. The mission of the program is based on a foundation of respect and sensitivity for the cultures and backgrounds of, and is oriented toward providing care to, underserved populations. Students are well educated in current medical theory and practice in primary care medicine. All physician assistants must have a supervising physician to practice. The program is three years long with classes held Monday through Friday during the day. The Master of Social Work, accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, prepares students for entering advanced social work practice. The program builds on the liberal arts base of the College and supports the College’s mission to nurture future leaders in service to the world. There are two concentrations: 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 family practice concentration prepares students to work with families and individuals within families, across the full range of contemporary social work practice settings. The program development, policy, and administration concentration prepares students to actively seek equality and justice for clients within agencies, institutions, and society, while directing energy toward changing policies that obscure and oppress people. A dual degree (Master of Social Work and Master of Arts in Theology) is also available and is offered in collaboration with Luther Seminary. The dual degree is designed to meet the educational interests of people planning to serve the spiritual and social needs of families, individuals, and communities. 72 Academic Information ■ OTHER PROGRAMS Continuing Education Program The mission of Augsburg College continuing education program is to provide working adults with lifelong learning opportunities that will enable them to continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually in their homes, workplaces, and communities.

Specific information on registration and help with registration on other campuses are available from these offices: Enrollment Center—612-330-1046 Academic Advising—612-330-1025 Augsburg for Adults—612-330-1782 Crossover Registration Policy Every Augsburg undergraduate student is admitted to a “home program,” either day, Weekend College, or the Rochester Program. It is expected that students will complete most of their degree requirements through their home program. However, full-time students may register for up to 1.0 credits per term outside their home program. Enrollment will be based on class availability. Students will be charged the rate of their home program for courses in which they enroll outside their home program. The rate will be based on the maximum credit load they are carrying on any calendar date over the span of the two terms. For example, a day program student taking 2.0 credits in the day program, and 1.0 credits in the WEC program, will be considered full-time and will be charged the full-time day program tuition rate. A WEC student taking 2.0 credits in the WEC program, and 1.0 credits in the day program, will pay the WEC tuition rate x 3.0 credits. Day students taking over 4.5 credits will pay the day part time rate for any credits over 4.5 in their combined day/WEC load (Spring day term will include both winter WEC and spring WEC). The maximum number of credits that may be included in the day full-time tuition rate for students who cross-register is 4.5. Students have registration priority in their home program. Crossover registration Academic Information 75 begins only after the open Web registration period closes for both programs. A schedule is published on the registrar’s office Web page. There is a special crossover registration form that must be processed at the Enrollment Center. This registration option is not available by Web. The WEC, Rochester, and Partner Hospitals programs are not part of the ACTC (Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities) tuition exchange program. WEC/Rochester/hospital students may NOT crossover to attend ACTC courses. Students must have completed their undergraduate degree and be admitted to a graduate program before taking graduate level courses from that program. (An exception is made for approved courses in the Department of Nursing and the joint B.A. Accounting/MAL.) Undergraduate students enrolled in graduate courses will pay the graduate rate for those courses. Any student enrolled in an Augsburg graduate level program wishing to take an undergraduate course will pay the rate of the program in which the course is offered (Day, WEC, or Rochester). Change of Program Students may apply to change their “home program” by filling out a Change of Program form available at the Enrollment Center. The change will take effect the following term. Changes are limited to one each academic year. A Change of Program form must be submitted before the term begins. Registration All day students are required to meet with their academic adviser prior to registration. Incoming first-years and transfer students may register during summer for courses in the fall. All currently enrolled day students may register during the fall for the spring term and during the spring for the fall term. Weekend College and Rochester campus students may register during the designated time prior to the start of each term. The primary method of registration will be via the Web through AugNet during the open registration period. Please reference the academic calendar on AugNet for specific dates. Day students will be able to register only after meeting with their faculty adviser. The Enrollment Center is also available to process registration forms. Note: Web registration may not recognize prerequisites fulfilled by transfer work. In these cases, please process your registration at the Enrollment Center. When the open registration period ends, returning students registering for the first time for the coming term will be assessed a late registration fee. The Enrollment Center will process all registration forms after the Web closes. Withdrawal from College Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this will result in a failing grade on their official academic record. Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from College must be completed in the Enrollment Center. A Withdrawal from the College form may be obtained at the Enrollment Center or downloaded from the registrar’s Web page. The last day to file for a Withdrawal from College is the last day of classes prior to finals week. Withdrawal from college and any consequential adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the Withdrawal from College form is returned to the registrar’s office. Students must re-admit to the College when they are ready to resume their studies. The Application for Readmission form is available from the 76 Academic Information Enrollment Center or can be downloaded from the registrar’s Web page. Students are responsible for keeping the registrar’s office informed of their current mailing address. Military Called to Active Duty Augsburg College will allow students to withdraw from courses without penalty if they are called to active duty as military reservists, National Guard, or for other military service. This shall include a 100% refund of tuition and fees upon verification of call to active duty. The student must provide a copy of their orders to the registrar. If the student is called to duty after the deadline to drop a course, the registrar will place a W for the course(s) along with a notation on the transcript that the student was called to active duty. This is to assist the student with any financial aid complications that may arise and also indicate that the withdrawal was outside of the student’s control. Alternatively, the College supports faculty in enabling students who are called to active duty and have substantially completed a course, to assign a grade based upon the coursework completed, or work out an “incomplete” agreement. Students who are able to complete some of their courses would have their refund adjusted to reflect this. Students who are being placed on active duty should contact the registrar and/or the Dean’s Office as soon as possible so the College can notify all parties and aid in this process. Student Standing Committee The Student Standing Committee reviews requests for exceptions to academic policies. Typically, the committee considers requests for: • Minor exceptions to academic requirements and/or approval of transfer course substitutions • Extending time for an incomplete • Permission to take a course overload • Student schedule changes after registration deadlines (adding, withdrawing, or grade option changes) Note: Petitions for an exception to published registration deadlines will require a $50 petition fee attached to the petition. This fee is non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the petition. Petitions involving adding or dropping courses/withdrawing from college after the deadline must be submitted within six months of the published registration deadlines for the term involved. For petitions requesting a late registration, any student account holds must be cleared before submitting the petition. Students who are allowed to add a course by petition after the published petition deadline will incur a $150 late registration fee per course. In addition, the committee reviews students’ transcripts in determining academic probation or dismissal from the College on academic grounds. The committee also hears appeals from students who have been dismissed for academic reasons. The committee reviews student requests for readmission to the College after dismissal or returning after leaving while on probation. The committee typically meets every other week throughout the school year Academic Information 77 (September-April), and once a month during summer.

Note: If petitioning for a change in registration, please submit a drop/add form signed by both the instructor and student. Step 3: Return the completed petition form to the Office of the Registrar/ Enrollment Center, include signed drop/add form and $50 check if applicable. Step 4: After the committee meets, a copy of the petition with the committee’s decision is returned to the student. Day students will receive this notice in their campus box. WEC and Rochester student petitions will be mailed to their home address. Catalog Applicability Students must fulfill the general education requirements in effect when they matriculated at Augsburg. Students may elect to satisfy the departmental major requirements of any of the catalogs in effect during their years of enrollment. However, students who are readmitted after more than six years away from the College must complete the departmental major requirements of the most current catalog at the time of readmission or any one of the catalogs in effect during their subsequent years of continuous enrollment at Augsburg. Second Majors and Degrees Students who graduated from Augsburg and are returning to complete a second major will not be awarded a second degree unless it is different from the original degree awarded. (B.A., B.M., B.S.) Students cannot earn multiple degrees for the same major, though it is possible to earn multiple degrees from the same academic department if the majors are distinct. For example, a student cannot earn both a B.A. in computer science and a B.S. in computer science, but may earn a B.S. in computer science and a B.A. in computational philosophy. Evaluation of Transfer Credit The evaluation of transfer credits is completed by the Office of the Registrar and is based on a student’s official transcripts. College credit is granted for liberal arts courses completed at regionally accredited institutions with a grade of 2.0/C or better. Augsburg does not grant credit for developmental courses, vocational-technical courses, or continuing education units (CEUs). Courses with grades of C-, CD, or below do not transfer to Augsburg College. The registrar’s office evaluates coursework for credit and for applicability toward Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements. Academic departments are responsible for evaluating the applicability of coursework toward a student’s major or minor. The College requires that certain courses and a minimum number of courses be taken at Augsburg. (Refer to the Residence Requirements section of the catalog.) Augsburg operates on a course credit system rather than semester or quarter hours. Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter hours. Transfer credits that have been reported to Augsburg as semester or quar- 78 Academic Information ter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by dividing by four or six respectively. • The Augsburg Core Curriculum will be adjusted so students need only to complete the following: Augsburg College limits transfer credit from two-year colleges. Students may transfer a maximum of 64 semester credits (96 quarter credits) from two-year colleges. Once a student reaches this credit limit, no additional credits will transfer from twoyear institutions toward the minimum number of course credits required for a baccalaureate degree. However, courses taken beyond the credit limit can be used to meet liberal arts and major requirements. • REL 300 Bible, Christian Theology, and Vocation Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are reported on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Students should consult with their faculty adviser and the Office of the Registrar before taking courses at other institutions to ensure compliance with transfer credit policy and residency requirements. (Refer to the Residence Requirements section of the catalog.) MnSCU Transfer Students Students transferring from the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system who have completed the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum, have earned the Associate of Arts degree from MnSCU, and have a 2.50 cumulative GPA (on a 4.0 scale) from the degree-granting institution will be given transfer status as outlined below: • Students will be granted 16 Augsburg course credits in transfer from two-year institutions. This will assure admission with junior standing. No additional credits will be accepted from two-year institutions. • One Augsburg Experience • Senior Keystone Course • Modern Language requirement (0-2 courses, depending on initial assessment) • Math Placement Group 3 (or MAT 105) • HPE 001 Foundations of Fitness or one HPE lifetime activity course (This requirement is waived for students who have transferred two equivalent courses.) *The A.A. degree and Minnesota Transfer Curriculum must be completed prior to enrolling at Augsburg in order to qualify for this transfer status. Note: Additional prerequisite coursework beyond the A.A. degree may be required in some Augsburg majors. Students are advised to consult an academic adviser in the major department to discuss major requirements. Courses with C – grades or below will not be accepted as prerequisites or for application to majors. Admission to a major — a separate process from admission to the College — is sometimes required. Please check with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and consult the departmental section of this catalog. Academic Information 79 Advanced Transfer Students Students who enter Augsburg with 13 or more course credits accepted in transfer are considered Advanced Transfer Students. The Augsburg Core Curriculum will be adjusted for advanced transfer students as outlined below: • Complete REL 300 Bible, Christian Theology, and Vocation instead of REL 100 & REL 200 • Waiver of Augsburg Seminar requirement • Waiver of Engaging Minneapolis • Waiver of the Entry-level Critical Thinking Assessment • Waiver of one Lifetime Fitness requirement (depending on transfer evaluation) All Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements not mentioned above remain unchanged for Advanced Transfer Students. A full description of these requirements is found on pages 78-84. *Waivers for Advanced Transfer are determined at the time of initial entry into Augsburg and will not be granted for courses completed after initial enrollment. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS. The responsibility for ensuring that all degree requirements are satisfied rests with the student. All students are required to file a graduation application with the registrar’s office one year prior to graduation. Faculty advisers, the Academic Advising staff, department chairs, and the registrar staff are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. Students who enter an academic program with a baccalaureate or higher degree should contact the Office of the Registrar about specific requirements for a second baccalaureate degree or for the equivalent of a major. See page 23 — Special Students (Second Degree). Each student is required to apply for graduation at the end of his or her junior year to confirm remaining graduation requirements. Application forms are available at the Enrollment Center or on the registrar’s Web page. All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the Office of the Registrar in order for the degree to be conferred. (There may be no incompletes or open courses on the academic record.) Requirements For Undergraduate Graduation: Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a major, the Augsburg Core Curriculum, a minimum GPA in major(s)/minor(s) and in total course work, and residence. 80 Academic Information 1. Completion of 32 course credits — No 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.) – 14.5; music therapy (B.S.) – 17; and social work (B.S.) – 15; youth and family ministry (B.A.) – 15. No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 32 total course credits required: two courses by independent/ directed study; four courses of internship; and six course credits with a grade of Pass (P). To graduate with Latin honors, students may take no more than two elective P/N graded courses. Each department sets its own limitations on the number of P/N graded courses that may be applied toward the major and minor programs, but normally students may apply no more than two course credits with P grades toward a major and no more than one course credit with a P grade toward a minor. The Departments of Education and Social Work are examples of departments that allow students to apply more than two course credits with P grades within the major program (two in major field courses plus student teaching or field work practicums). 2. Completion of a Major — Requirements for each major are listed under the departmental headings. 3. Completion of the Augsburg Core Curriculum — Requirements for the Augsburg Core Curriculum are listed in the next section. 4. Grade Point Average — Students must earn a minimum overall grade point average of 2.00. Additionally, all majors and minors require at least a 2.00 grade point average in course work for the major or minor. Some majors, licensure, and certification programs require a higher grade point average or a minimum grade in each course. See the departmental section for details about the grade and grade point average for individual majors and minors. 5. Residence — The last year of fulltime study or equivalent (no fewer than seven of the last nine credits/requirements) must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved ACTC exchange program. No fewer than a total of nine credits are to be taken at Augsburg College. Contact the registrar’s office if an official interpretation is needed. Some departments have a minimum number of courses that are required to be taken in residence within the major and minor. Consult the catalog description of the major/minor or the chairperson of the department. Academic Information 81 ■ THE AUGSBURG CORE CURRICULUM The Augsburg Core Curriculum is designed to prepare students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens through their engagement in a curriculum that: • Provides a liberal arts foundation and promotes the acquisition of intellectual and professional skills; • Calls for common inquiry into questions of Christian faith and the search for meaning; and • Cultivates the transformative discovery of, and appreciation for, the student’s place of leadership and service in a diverse world — vocatio and caritas. The curriculum has three major components: • The Augsburg Signature Curriculum • The Liberal Arts Foundation • Skills Requirements THE AUGSBURG SIGNATURE CURRICULUM Christian Vocation and the Search for Meaning Augsburg’s Signature Curriculum takes seriously the College’s identity as a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. Two required courses (REL 100 and REL 200) highlight Augsburg’s commitment to this identity and the college’s related interest in asking students to think critically about the concept of vocation. Faculty who teach these courses make the following commitments to their students: • You are welcome — whether you are Jewish or atheist, Buddhist or seeker, Catholic or Muslim, Baptist, Lutheran, uncertain, disinterested, or someone who is ‘spiritual but not religious.’ Our Christian understanding is rooted in a generous spirit of hospitality. • We will treat each other with respect as we learn how to engage in conversation (Continues on p. 84) 82 Academic Information CHECKLIST AND SUMMARY OF GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS.

We will explore the idea that vocation is a model and lens for viewing the connections between our basic beliefs and the commitments and actions we make in life. The Augsburg First Year In order to help them make the transition to college and their new community, first-year weekday program students are required to take courses containing the following components: • Augsburg Seminar All students who enter the College as first-year students in the weekday schedule program must satisfactorily complete fall orientation and Augsburg Seminar, a firstyear learning community in their major or related area of academic interest. Each week Augburg Seminars devote an hour to topics relevant to an Augsburg education: becoming an intentional learner; making connections to the larger Augsburg learning community; and exploring strategies for success in the AugSem course(s) and future college work. • Engaging Minneapolis The Engaging Minneapolis requirement builds on Augsburg’s national leadership in experiential education as well as its commitment to its urban location. Students take one course that introduces them to the city as a resource for intentional learning, typically through civic engagement, cultural engagement, or service learning. Most Engaging Minneapolis courses also fulfill an Augsburg Core Curriculum or major requirement. They should be taken during the first year, but may be taken in the second year. • Many Voices Project Embedded in ENL 111, 112, and HON 111 (see core skills requirements), the Many Voices Project engages first-year students in discussion of a common text addressing themes of cultural diversity and global awareness. Emphasizing ways in which written communication can promote understanding and productive engagement among different cultures and points of view, the Many Voices Project is intended to teach skills and methods that promote successful communication between diverse writers and readers. Augsburg Experience All students must complete at least one approved Augsburg Experience as a requirement for graduation. Augsburg Experiences highlight the College’s commitment to experiential education and active participation in the broader community, both locally and globally. Five categories of approved experiential learning opportunities are recognized as Augsburg Experiences: internships (including field- Academic Information 85 work, practicums, and student teaching), faculty-student research, service learning/ community service, study abroad, and offcampus immersion experiences. An Augsburg Experience integrates experiential learning with academic learning. It demonstrates enhanced learning and reflects research and best practices in experiential education. Approved Augsburg Experiences meet two criteria: (1) Integrate experiential learning with academic learning and (2) Link on-campus learning to the goals, mission, needs, or ideas of off-campus people, organizations and/or communities, either through community partners, professional activities, and/or travel. Augsburg Experiences may be embedded in designated courses that are part of the regular class schedule or may be completed for zero credit outside of the regular class schedule. The length of time required, credit/no-credit status, and grading options for approved Augsburg Experiences will vary. Senior Keystone The official list of approved keystone courses is found on the registrar’s web page — under the heading ‘General Education’, click on ‘Senior Keystone’. THE LIBERAL ARTS FOUNDATION The Liberal Arts Foundation courses introduce students to knowledge and modes of inquiry across a wide range of disciplines and subjects. The course offerings in the traditional liberal arts provide the opportunity for students to acquire a broad and solid foundation for their specialized study and professional preparation. Students choose two courses from two different departments in each domain. The list of courses meeting the Liberal Arts Foundation requirement is available online at the registrar’s web page and from the registrar’s office. The official list of approved LAF courses is found on the registrar’s web page — under the heading ‘General Education’, click on ‘Approved LAF Courses and Skills Listing’. The Senior Keystone course provides a final opportunity for exploring the central themes of an Augsburg education — vocation and the search for meaning in a diverse and challenging world. Students will reflect upon the meaning of their educational experiences and consider issues of transition as they prepare for their lives after Augsburg. Most Keystone courses also meet major requirements. Natural Sciences and Mathematics The Senior Keystone course in each department connects the broad liberal arts foundation with the professional skills and in-depth study of the major. It asks graduating students to think critically, reflectively, and ethically about their place in the world as leaders and servants. Economics, Environmental Studies, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology Two courses from two different departments: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics. One must be a lab science course. Social and Behavioral Sciences Two courses from two different departments: Humanities Two courses from two different departments/programs: American Indian Studies, Communication Studies, English, History, Philosophy, 86 Academic Information Religion, Modern Language and Cultural Studies (literature and culture courses), Women’s Studies Note: The signature Search for Meaning courses do not count as Humanities Liberal Arts Foundation requirements. Fine Arts Two courses or approved activities from two different departments: Art, Music, Theatre Arts. One Fine Arts LAF requirement can be met with four semesters of participation in the following major choral ensembles (any combination of four): MUE 111, MUE 112, MUE 114, MUE 115. SKILLS REQUIREMENTS Entry Level Skills Assessments There are entry level skills assessments in: • Critical Thinking • Mathematics • Writing Placement in writing, math, and critical thinking courses is determined by the assessments. These tests are a prerequisite for (not completion of) core and graduation skills course requirements. • Critical Thinking Assessment and Requirement Students who have college credit for a critical thinking or logic course are exempt from the critical thinking assessment. Students who do not achieve the minimum entry score on the placement exam are required to take GST 100 Critical Thinking. • Mathematics Assessment and Requirement All students are required to have their math placement group (MPG) determined. In some cases, students who have transferred a mathematics course taken at another college may have their MPG determined by the registrar’s office. All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Exam, which is administered by Academic Advising. The exam is given during College registration sessions and at other announced times during the year. Practice questions and other information are available from Academic Advising. Based on the math assessment result, students will be enrolled in the appropriate courses or advised on preparation for retaking the math placement exam. Students may retake the Math Placement Exam once during their first term of enrollment. Students are required to take the Math Placement Exam before registering for the first term and should achieve MPG 3 by the end of their first year at Augsburg. Students in MPG 1 must take MAT 103 to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 must take MAT 105 to advance to MPG 3. Students in MPG 3 must take MAT 114 to advance to MPG 4. No other MAT course changes a student’s MPG. A grade of Pass or 2.0 or higher is required to advance to the next math level. Students are encouraged to advance their MPG as soon as possible. Students must achieve Math Placement Group (MPG) 3 or higher to graduate. In addition, many courses require MPG 2, 3, or 4 as a prerequisite. Academic Information 87 • Writing Assessment and Requirement This entry level assessment determines readiness for ENL 111 or 112. Students who do not place highly enough on the entry level assessment will be required to take ENL 101 Developmental Writing before ENL 111. Students who have transferred in a course equivalent to ENL 111 are excused from the entry level exam. Students entering Weekend College or the Rochester program do not take the Writing Assessment. Core Skills Requirements • Effective Writing ENL 111 Effective Writing or the equivalent with a grade of 2.0, P, or higher, is required. Attendance the first day of class is required. Students should complete Effective Writing by the middle of their sophomore year because it is a prerequisite for Writing Graduation Skill courses. • Modern Language For students who have not previously studied a modern language, completion of a two-course sequence in the same language with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P in both courses is required. The BYU-CAPE language assessment is offered to students who have had at least one year of study of French, German, or Spanish language in high school. For a language previously studied, successful completion (minimum grade of 2.0 or P) of the 112 level satisfies the requirement. Students placing into 112 must enter at the 112 level. No college credit will be given for repeat of 111. Students whose placement test is at 211 or higher will be exempted from further language study. Modern language courses accepted in transfer may be applicable to this skills area for partial or full completion of the requirement. Students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by passing an approved course sequence will have fulfilled the Modern Language Core Skill. Students whose first language is not English and whose score is below the minimum on the English Language Learners (ELL) placement test must fulfill the ELL requirement. The requirement is satisfied by successfully completing the ELL course(s) and achieving a score above the minimum on the ELL placement exam. Students who complete the ELL requirement fulfill the Modern Language Core Skill requirement. Contact Academic Advising or the English Department for additional information. More information about English Language Learners is found on page 92. • Lifetime Fitness Two lifetime fitness courses are required. HPE 001 Foundations of Fitness is required of all students. The second course may be chosen from a variety of different Lifetime Activity courses (HPE 002, 003). Students may test out of the activity course by demonstrating proficiency from a selected lifetime activity. Proficiency exams are offered through the Health and Physical Education department each semester. There is a fee to take the lifetime activity proficiency test. Intercollegiate athletes and Health and Physical Education majors may not test out of this requirement. Foundations of Fitness and Lifetime Activity courses are non-credit courses and are not included in the 32-course credit graduation requirement. 88 Academic Information Graduation Skills Requirements An Augsburg education includes enhancement of certain skills during the years in college. Critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, speaking, and writing skills are deliberate components of certain courses. Graduation skill requirements typically are embedded in required courses in the major. Some departments, however, designate courses outside the major or elective courses in the major that fulfill these requirements. See department and program pages in this catalog or consult the department chair for more information. • Physical Education (teaching licensure only) • Physics 2. Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver. Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver are not required to complete modern language courses as part of their degree. The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver: • Biology • Chemistry Core Curriculum Modifications • Clinical Laboratory Science Some majors that result in a Bachelor of Science degree give students the ability to modify their Core Curriculum requirements in one of the following ways. • Mathematics 1. Bachelor of Science/Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) Waiver. Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver must complete at least six of the eight LAF requirements, provided at least one course is taken in each of the four domains. (e.g., two Natural Science and Mathematics courses, two Social and Behavioral Science courses, one Fine Arts course, and one Humanities course) The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver: • Biology • Chemistry • Clinical Laboratory Science • Elementary Education • Health Education (teaching licensure only) • Mathematics • Music Therapy • Nursing • Music Therapy • Nursing • Physics EVALUATION AND GRADING. ■ EXPLANATION OF GRADES The official delivery of end-of-term grades to students is online via the AugNet Records and Registration website. Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation. Most courses are offered with grading options—traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Academic Information 89 Pass/No Credit 3.0 Students who choose the P/N option are cautioned: 2.5 • In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. 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. 1.5 • Maximum number of course credits taken P/N that may be applied to graduation is six course credits with a grade of Pass (P). • P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for Latin Honors. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. • To be eligible for graduation with Latin Honors, students may elect only two P/N credits. • See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements, page 80. Certain courses have restrictions and are offered on one grading system only (e.g., lifetime activities are graded only P/N). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made according to dates published each term. Numeric Grades Numeric grades are used with these definitions: 4.0 3.5 Achieves highest standards of excellence 1.0 Achieves above basic course standards Meets basic standards for the course 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. Incomplete (I) Grades An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade Form with the Office of the Registrar that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. 90 Academic Information Extension (X) Grades Auditing Courses 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 has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned. Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time day students will be charged an audit fee if their total credit load is over 4.5 credits. The charge for part-time and Weekend College students is listed under Weekend College Costs in the Financing Your Education section on page 28. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Audited courses do not count toward graduation and do not fulfill general education requirements. 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. Repeated Courses A course in which a grade of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken each term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. Courses completed at Augsburg College must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat policy. Grade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted.* *Courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned Classification Students are classified when grades are posted at the end of each term. Classification is based on the number of course credits completed. • Sophomores—7 completed course credits. • Juniors—16 completed course credits. • Seniors—24 completed course credits. Academic Information 91 ■ ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that comprise the academic program of a liberal arts college. The Assessment of Previous Learning program (APL) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student’s previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a 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: International Baccalaureate Program (IB)—Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate program will be considered by the College for advanced placement and appropriate credit. IB exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements, but cannot satisfy graduation-level skill requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available in the registrar’s office and on the Academic Advising web site. Advanced Placement Program (AP)—Augsburg allows students to earn credit for scores of 3, 4, or 5 on selected Advanced Placement tests. For some exams, a minimum score of 4 is required. AP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements, but cannot satisfy graduation-level skill requirements. Additional information is available on the Academic Advising web page and from the Office of the Registrar. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)—This is a series of standardized tests that have been developed by the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. Students who score at or above the American Council on Education’s recommended score on an approved examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. CLEP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements, but cannot satisfy graduation-level skill requirements. Information about CLEP tests is available from the Office of the Registrar and the Academic Advising web page. Departmental Comprehensive Exams—These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: • There is a departmental exam available for the subject area in question. • There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. • The registrar approves the student’s request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a P/N basis only, and there is a charge per exam of $400 for a full course credit. 92 Academic Information The Portfolio Assessment Program—This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student’s previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the Office of the Registrar. In completing the evaluation of a student’s previous learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria: • There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts coursework. • The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. • The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. • The learning relates well to the student’s educational goals. • The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least four credits of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.50. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is a 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 P/N credit basis only. Transcript credit will be recorded with the equivalent Augsburg course numbers as determined by faculty reviewers. Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning—While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campusbased liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg allows a maximum of eight credits (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) to be obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the eight credits for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the five assessment processes available in the APL Program: AP exams, CLEP exams, IB exams, departmental comprehensive exams, and credit granted through portfolio assessment. ■ ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS (ELL) Students whose primary language spoken at home is not English must take the ELL placement test in conjunction with the English writing placement test prior to registering for their first term at Augsburg. Students’ placement in ELL, ENL 101 Developmental Writing, or ENL 111, HON 111, or ENL 112 Effective Writing will be determined by their scores on the Michigan test (85-100 range for exemption from ELL courses) and by a writing sample. Near the end of each term of the English Language Learner’s course, an objective test will be administered to all students in the class. The score on this test and the grade earned in the class will determine whether additional ELL coursework is required. Usually a score of 85 to 100 and a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will fulfill the student’s ELL requirement. Academic Information 93 All students whose native language is not English must stay enrolled in ENL 217/218 until such time that they pass the ELL placement test at 85 percent or higher. The ELL course can be counted only twice in the total number of courses required for graduation. Committee to re-enroll. Students who have been dismissed may apply for readmission after one year, at which time the Student Standing Committee will review the application for readmission accompanied by any statements and evidence attesting to his or her commitment to academic success. Students who fulfill the ELL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the Modern Language Core Skill requirement for graduation. Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches 2.00. Students placed on probation as firstyears 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 2.00. 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 2.00. ■ ACADEMIC PROGRESS, PROBATION, AND DISMISSAL The College requires that all students maintain a 2.00 cumulative grade point average (GPA). It should be noted that a minimum GPA of 2.00 is required for graduation, with certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA. Students whose overall academic achievement falls below a 2.00 GPA 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 first-year 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 Student Standing Committee. Evidence of the student’s commitment to academic progress is the primary 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 from the Student Standing 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 undergraduate students whose grade point average for a semester is 3.50 or better. Students must be full-time students (a minimum equivalent of three full course credits for a weekday schedule student or two equivalent full course credits for a Weekend College student), graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. Courses taken outside of a program’s calendar (e.g., crossover courses taken in a Weekend College trimester term by a day student or in a semester term by a weekend student) are not calculated when determining the Dean’s List. If permission is given by the student, an announcement 94 Academic Information is sent to the hometown newspaper for those students on the Dean’s List. Latin Honors Augsburg recognizes those students who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement by conferring Latin honors upon completion of a baccalaureate degree. This designation and the standards set are in effect for all students who complete degree requirements in May 2004 or later. Latin honors replaces the previous honors designation of “With Distinction.” Students may also receive honors recognition for departmental honors and for participation in the honors program. (See individual department and program descriptions for details.) Qualification for Latin honors is determined as follows: Summa cum laude: 3.90-4.00 GPA plus successful completion of the summa oral examination Magna cum laude: 3.80-3.89 GPA Cum laude: 3.60-3.79 GPA To be eligible, a student must complete a minimum of fourteen traditionally graded credits at Augsburg and have no more than two elective pass/no pass graded credits at Augsburg (classes offered only as P/N by the department will not be counted). For additional information, including the guidelines for the Summa Cum Laude oral examination, go to the Latin Honors section at <www.augsburg.edu/enroll/ registrar>. Graduation and Commencement Though the terms are often confused, the words “graduation” and “commencement” carry different meanings. Graduation refers to the completion of all degree requirements. Students graduate when all requirements for the degree have been fulfilled, meaning that one can graduate at any point during the academic year provided that all requirements are complete. Commencement is a ceremony. It is an opportunity for students, family, friends, and the Augsburg College community to celebrate academic accomplishment. Participation in commencement, however, does not mean that a student has graduated. A student will not graduate and a degree will not be conferred until all requirements are met, regardless of participation in commencement. Augsburg College holds two commencement ceremonies in the spring to accommodate the College’s different student populations. The May commencement ceremony is for students in the Day undergraduate program and for students in the Physician Assistant Studies graduate program. The June commencement ceremony is for students in the other five graduate programs as well as undergraduate students in Weekend College, Rochester campus, and the Partner Hospitals program. Undergraduate students who have not completed all degree requirements may participate in commencement if: (1) no more than three requirements will remain in their program at the conclusion of spring term; and (2) the remaining requirements will be completed in the summer or fall terms immediately following commencement. Academic Information 95 Enrollment/Degree Verification Augsburg College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as its agent for verification of student enrollment and degree status.

Veterans should consult with the V. A. Certifying Official in the Office of the Registrar about completion of enrollment verification and the forwarding of other information to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans will need to meet the requirements of the Veterans Administration regarding repayment of educational assistance funds received. ■ FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT NOTICE The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg College is required to give notice of the various rights accorded to students pursuant to FERPA. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following: Right to inspect and review education records—You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg College. Your request should be submitted in writing at least one week prior to the date you wish to review your records. Right to request amendment of education records—You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy.

A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. 96 Academic Information Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information”—FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without notification of the request or disclosure to the student. Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform Augsburg College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused. “Directory information” includes the following: • The student’s name; • The student’s address; • The student’s telephone number; • The student’s e-mail address; • The student’s date and place of birth; • The student’s major and minor field of study; • The student’s academic class level; • The student’s enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT); • The student’s participation in officially recognized activities and sports; • The student’s degrees and awards received (including dates); • The weight and height of members of athletic teams; • The student’s dates of attendance; • Previous educational agencies or institutions attended by the student; and • The student’s photograph. Augsburg College will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such information be withheld. The Office of the Registrar must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory Information. If the notice is not received by the registrar prior to Sept. 15 (or within 10 school days of the start of a subsequent term for a new student), it will be assumed that all Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder of the current academic year. A new notice for withholding disclosure must be completed each academic year.

Reporting Educational Information Letters of reference must be requested in writing and explicitly indicate what information may be reported in the letter. Departments and Programs Course Descriptions with Major and Minor Requirements – 98 Department majors and programs are listed alphabetically. Also see index. 98 DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS 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 that make it more accessible to students. These courses can be arranged in various ways to construct majors, to create the substance of a broad general education, and to give students the opportunity to study areas of particular individual interest. COURSE DESCRIPTIONS. Descriptions of courses are arranged by departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus containing a more detailed explanation of content, approach, requirements, and evaluations for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor. Department entries also contain a narrative discussion of the educational philosophy of each department, its goals, and its place in the College’s program. A listing of requirements for individual majors and minors follows the narrative. Class Schedule Courses listed are subject to change. In general, classes are offered fall and/or spring terms unless otherwise indicated. The schedule of classes offered through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) for fall and spring terms is only available online. Weekend College classes are available online. Since some courses are offered alternate years, it is important that the student review major requirements and course offerings with an adviser to ensure that all requirements can be met. Descriptions and schedules for Summer Session, the Master of Arts in Education, Master of Arts in Leadership, Master of Arts in Nursing, Master of Business Administration, Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, and Master of Social Work courses are published in a separate Graduate Studies catalog. Credits A full course is offered for one course credit. A few fractional courses, for onehalf or one-quarter course credit, are offered. Unless noted, all courses are one course credit. A full course is valued as four semester credits or six quarter hours. Most day program courses meet for three 60-minute periods or two 90-minute periods per week with additional time required for laboratory work. All full credit Weekend College courses meet for eight three-and-one-half-hour sessions during fall and for seven four-hour sessions during winter and spring term. Numbering Courses numbered below 300 are lower division courses. Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as upper division. In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for first-years, 200s for sophomores, 300s for juniors, and 400s for seniors. Departments and Programs 99 Prerequisites Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are listed in the course description as prerequisites. A student may enroll in a course when a prerequisite has not been fulfilled if there is prior approval by the professor teaching the course. Some prerequisites (such as ENL 111, math placement, and critical thinking) cannot be waived by the instructor. NOTE: Not all courses are offered in all schedules. Refer to Augnet Records and Registration for information on when specific courses are offered. INTERNSHIPS AND . INDEPENDENT STUDIES.

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

From the unraveling of information locked within the human and other genomes to the complexities of interactions between organisms in diverse ecosystems in changing environments, biologists and members of the public are grappling with an almost overwhelming flood of new information. By focusing on the core principles of biology, students are given the tools with which to interpret results coming out of the revolution, and by early exposure to original independent research projects, given the opportunity to themselves contribute to our understanding of the natural world. Integration across biological sub-disciplines is emphasized, paralleling the integration taking place in the maturing field of systems biology. As biological phenomena become amenable to the analytical tools of chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer science, biology is increasingly a multidisciplinary venture, Thus, a firm background in these sciences is also important for the successful study of biology. Biological forces have many profound effects on society and in turn humanity has strongly affected our biosphere. Thus, service-learning opportunities are tightly integrated within the curricula. For many, an undergraduate major in biology serves as a springboard for further study. Augsburg graduates have gone on to graduate studies in the life sciences, leading to careers in college or university teaching, basic and applied research, and public health. Many have entered professional programs in medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. Other graduates Biology 115 have gone directly into secondary education, biomedical and biotechnology industries, laboratory research, natural resources, and environmental education.

Transfer students must consult an adviser about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these skills. Transfer course policy for majors and minors All transfer courses, including ACTC courses, must be approved in writing by the department, subject to review by the chair. Only those biology courses successfully completed (2.0 or above) within the last 10 years will be considered. No more than two upper division courses from other institutions may be applied toward the major. OTHER REQUIREMENTS. In planning their courses of study, students are encouraged to work closely with members of the biology faculty. Biology majors must have an adviser in the biology department. BIO 151 and 152 and Principles of Chemistry (or General Chemistry) should be taken in the first year, and BIO 253 and Organic Chemistry (when appropriate) in the second year. Students should complete their math requirements early in their college careers. A GPA of 2.00 for BIO 151, 152, and 253 is a prerequisite for enrollment in upper division biology courses. A grade of 2.00 or above is required for all upper division courses applied toward the major. Biology for Health Sciences GPA of 3.50 in biology and 3.00 overall, one course of approved independent study (BIO 499) or a research internship combined with BIO 498, public presentation of results along with a written report. Project proposals should be made to the department by Sept. 30 of the senior year or Feb. 28 in the case of students planning to graduate in the following December. Prerequisite requirements for health sciences vary with the program and the institution. Care should be taken to study the requirements for every program well in advance of making application. In general, medical schools require a two semester sequences in calculus, physics and organic chemistry. Biochemistry is also commonly required and in some instances statistics and literature. Programs in physician assistant training, veterinary medicine, physical therapy and such typically have a more extensive list of prerequisites. Students considering a post-baccalaureate program in these areas should consult early and often with health science advisers — Dixie Shafer and Dale Pederson. Minor Graduate Training in Biology A course in general chemistry and five biology courses including BIO 151, 152, 253, and two upper division courses. The majority of courses in biology must be taken at Augsburg College. Graduate programs in biological fields typically require two semesters of general chemistry, organic chemistry, calculus and physics. Also required is extensive involvement in research through Aug Experience, internships and/or independent study. Careful consultation with the Biology Departmental Honors Biology 117 adviser is recommended to select among course work and research options. Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for biology teachers, the science portions of which are satisfied by the Augsburg life sciences major. The state requirements may 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. All upper division biology requirements for secondary licensure must be completed before beginning student teaching. Beta Beta Beta Membership in the Augsburg Chapter of this national biology honor society is open to those students who have completed at least one upper division biology course and have a GPA of 3.00 in biology. Cooperative Education and Service Learning The department works with the Center for Service, Work and Learning in identifying and defining cooperative education experiences in laboratories and other settings in the Twin Cities. Augsburg Student Association for Health Sciences The Augsburg Student Association for Health Sciences exists to serve all students preparing for post-baccalaureate study and/or careers in medicine and allied health professions. It facilitates volunteer and work opportunities, provides contact with admissions representatives from several professional schools, and arranges visits with alumni in several health fields.

ACCOUNTING—ACC T he 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 certified public accountant (CPA) focuses on external reporting; a certified management accountant (CMA) focuses on internal reporting. The public accounting specialization includes the materials emphasized on the CPA exam; the managerial specialization includes the materials emphasized on the CMA exam. Both the CPA and CMA designation have an experience requirement in addition to passing the national exam. Under the rules of the Minnesota State Board of Accountancy, accounting majors in the public accounting specialization are qualified to sit for the CPA examination after graduation. 128 Business Administration Effective May 2006, students will need to complete the equivalent of 150 semester hours of education to be licensed as Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). This can be completed in four years through accelerated undergraduate work. Another option is to complete a four-year bachelor’s degree plus a master’s degree. DEGREE AND MAJOR REQUIREMENTS.
