continue to believe that you have rightly chosen Augsburg as the community in which you will spend time for the next
several years.
If you are studying this map to find out more about Augsburg College and an Augsburg education, welcome. I believe
you will find it not only tells you about the character and essence of our institution, but also about our mission of

About Augsburg
At Augsburg College, we believe that the college experience should be a time of exploration, of discovery, of new
experiences, and new possibilities. We also believe that a liberal arts education is the best preparation for living in the
fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not
only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate
effectively.
Discovering Your Gifts and Talents
The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg Core Curriculum—designed to prepare students to become
effective, informed, and ethical citizens. Through “Search for Meaning” courses, students explore their own unique gifts
and interests and find where their own talents intersect with the needs of our global society.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve for a lifetime: writing, speaking, critical
thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a few.
Thanks to Augsburg’s prime location in the heart of a thriving metropolitan area, many courses are able to offer rich and
varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer
community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense, the resources of the Twin Cities are an extended campus for
Augsburg students.
Selection from over 50 Majors
Augsburg’s Day program offers more than 50 majors—or you can create your own major, either on campus or through
the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). This five-college consortium allows Day Program students to take
courses on other campuses without additional charge while a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC consortium
includes Augsburg College, St. Catherine University, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the University of St.
Thomas.
The Weekend and Evening College (WEC) program offers 18 majors and a number of certificate programs.
Mission Statement
Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to
the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission:
Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible
leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its
life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the
faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by its urban and global settings.

History
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith
presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, WI, and
moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians 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 clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian
Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such “college” studies that would prepare students for theological
study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students;
and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is also practical.
Augsburg’s next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to
church and community has been Augsburg’s theme for more than 140 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the democratic college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second president (1876-1907), required
students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early
expression to the concept of Augsburg’s motto, “Education for Service.”
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change
made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was
still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The Focus Changed
Traditional attitudes began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup, Jr. became president. He worked to
develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers.
Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of longtime dean of women, Gerda Mortensen.
The College’s mission assumed a double character: ministerial preparation together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (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
had become a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college program based on general
education requirements and elective majors. Full accreditation of the College was achieved in 1954.
A study in 1962 defined the College’s mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free
Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the
Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. Subsequently, the American Lutheran Church
merged with two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
A College in the City
Under the leadership of President Oscar A. Anderson (1963-1980), Augsburg became a vital and integral part of the city.
The College began to reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all students.
4
Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall, Urness Hall, Christensen Center, Ice Arena, and
Murphy Place.
Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg’s commitment to liberal arts education,
spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the
city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two
graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events,
increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell Family Library.
Dr. William V. Frame became president in August 1997 and retired in 2006. Under his leadership, the College sharpened
its identity as a college of the city, providing an education grounded in vocational calling that provides students both the
theoretical learning and the practical experience to succeed in a global, diverse world.
Dr. Paul C. Pribbenow became president in July 2006. Under his leadership, the College aims to educate students of all
ages—in the midst of a great city—to be faithful citizens of the world.

Augsburg Today
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed:
•
•
•
An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church.
Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative,
and successful citizens.
The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg
students.
The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.
Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg
prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society.
In addition to Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences, Augsburg offers numerous master’s
degree programs as well as a doctoral program in nursing practice. For information about graduate programs, go to
www.augsburg.edu/grad.
Undergraduate and graduate education is offered in a variety formats. In addition to its Minneapolis campus, Augsburg
has a branch campus in Rochester, MN.
Day Program
Augsburg’s Day Program (DAY) provides an educational opportunity for students who want to earn a bachelor’s degree
in a traditional weekday format.
Weekend and Evening College
Augsburg’s Weekend and Evening College (WEC) provides an educational opportunity for adults who want to earn a
bachelor’s degree and work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women can
gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas
of the liberal arts and professional studies.
Weekend and Evening 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 semester and 18 majors in the liberal
arts and professional studies, WEC is one of the largest programs of its type among Minnesota private colleges.
The Non-Traditional Student
Augsburg’s Weekend and Evening College is based on the assumption that non-traditional students are mature, selfdisciplined, and motivated learners who seek a combination of classroom experience and individual study. Each course
includes periods of concentrated, on-campus study as well as time for independent study and class preparation.
Alternate Weekends
To meet the needs of non-traditional students, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three-and-a-half to
four hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning or Saturday afternoon. Laboratory sections or additional class
hours may be scheduled during the week. WEC students may take from one to four courses each semester. The WEC
academic year is divided into three semesters (fall, spring, and summer).
A Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s Weekend and Evening College is participation in a community of non-traditional
learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To
facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages WEC students to make use of College facilities, such
as Lindell Library, and to participate in academic and co-curricular activities, such as the student newspaper, travel
seminars, student organizations, fine arts events, networking events, workshops, and convocations. The WEC student
body elects its own leaders through the WEC Student Senate.
6
Augsburg continues its tradition of innovation to meet the needs of non-traditional students by creating new programs,
and providing faculty and staff development in teaching and serving non-traditional students.
Weekend and Evening College Faculty
The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and the WEC faculty are full-time Augsburg professors as well as
adjunct faculty who bring professional experience to their teaching. Most faculty hold a doctorate or other terminal
degree, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activities at the College. Professors are involved in social,
professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are
actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and
learning techniques and theories.
Weekend and Evening College’s small classes facilitate the College’s tradition of close involvement between professors
and students. Faculty act as academic advisors 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. A variety of undergraduate majors are offered.
The Rochester campus classrooms and offices are located at Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA), a few blocks south of the
heart of the city, which is home to about 100,000 residents. It is a city that enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior
technological resources.
Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a semester schedule with classes taking place on weekday evenings and on
occasional Saturdays, making them accessible to working adults. In addition to the half-dozen degree programs that can
be completed entirely in this location, students may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of
Rochester-based courses and courses taken in the Day or WEC program in Minneapolis.
Students at the Rochester campus are Augsburg College students. They are supported through an array of e-learning
resources ranging from access to Lindell Library databases to the use of online course management software.
Information about the Rochester campus is available at www.augsburg.edu/rochester or by calling the Rochester office
at 507-288-2886.
College of the Third Age
Augsburg demonstrates its commitment to lifelong learning in part through its College of the Third Age. College of the
Third Age is a teaching-learning service founded more than 30 years ago to serve older adults by encouraging lifelong
learning, fostering interactive discussion, and introducing new topics and subjects related to an ever-changing world. A
roster of more than 25 retired, semi-retired, and working professors teach non-credit seminars for the program, based
upon their areas of expertise.
College of the Third Age partners with organizations and facilities that serve older adults in the Twin Cities metropolitan
area, including churches, synagogues, community centers, and senior residences. The current catalog lists more than
200 classes available for group study at partner organizations and facilities. To obtain further information about the
program or to request a catalog, call 612-330-1139 or visit www.augsburg.edu/thirdage.
Campus Location
Augsburg College is located in the heart of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. The campus is
bordered by Riverside Avenue and Interstate 94, near the University of Minnesota West Bank campus and the University
of Minnesota Medical Center.
Downtown Minneapolis is just minutes away, providing access to internships and careers with some of the country’s
leading companies as well as entertainment, arts, sports venues, shopping, dining, and transportation. The campus is

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
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. The student must request to review their education records in writing with their signature. The College will
respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request.
Right to request amendment of education records
You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate,
misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that
the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records according to your request.
Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information
You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information
contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize

agent); a person serving on the board of regents, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or
grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate
educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional
responsibility.
Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information”
FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may
be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without notification of the request or disclosure to the
student.
Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider

www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts/.
Financial Policies
Registration is permitted only if the student’s account for a previous term is paid in full or if the student is making
scheduled payments in accordance with an approved online payment plan.
Augsburg College will not release student academic transcripts or graduation diplomas/certificates until all student
accounts are paid in full or, in the case of student loan funds administered by the College (Federal Perkins Student Loan),
are current according to established repayment schedules and the loan entrance and exit interviews have been
completed.
Refund Schedule
Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based on the
appropriate refund schedule. Financial aid may also be adjusted for those students who withdraw from the College or
drop one or more courses and receive financial assistance.
For further information view our refund policy online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/tuition-and-credit-refund/.
Students may appeal refund decisions through the Financial Petition Committee. Petition forms are available online
through the Registrar’s Office website.
Students who wish to withdraw from Augsburg should complete the Withdrawal from College form available online
through the Registrar’s Office website. It must be filled out completely, signed and turned in to the Enrollment Center.
Students who properly withdraw or change to part-time, who are dismissed, or who are released from a housing
contract will have their accounts adjusted for tuition and/or room in accordance with the terms of their housing contract
and/or the appropriate tuition refund schedule.
Students are responsible for cancelling courses through the Registrar’s Office (or online) in order to be eligible for any
refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for
all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations
are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed.
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). Requests for medical refunds should be
made through the Financial Petition Committee. Petition forms are available through the Registrar’s Office website. This
extra medical refund will be considered upon submission of documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead,
verifying the medical circumstances.
18
Unofficial Withdrawal
Federal regulations require that records of financial aid recipients who earn failing grades in all their classes be
reviewed. If courses are not completed (e.g., unofficial withdrawal, stopped attending), the College is required to refund
financial aid to the appropriate sources according to federal or Augsburg refund policies based on the last recorded date
of attendance. Students are responsible for the entire cost of the term including the portion previously covered by
financial aid should they stop attending. Students are strongly urged to follow guidelines for complete withdrawal from
college. If there are extenuating circumstances, a petition to have the cost of tuition refunded can be made. Petition
forms are available online through the Registrar’s Office website.
A student who registers, does not attend any classes, and does not withdraw may petition to withdraw retroactively.
The student must petition within six months of the end of term and provide proof of non-attendance. Proof can include,
but is not limited to, statements from each instructor that the student never attended, or documentation of attendance
for the term at another college or university. If approved, grades of W will be recorded and charges for the term
dropped. The administrative cancellation fee is $300.
Financial Aid
All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must establish financial aid eligibility on an annual basis.
This includes completing the application process as outlined below and making satisfactory academic progress. In order
to maintain eligibility in financial aid programs, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the
attainment of their degree or certificate as stipulated in the College catalog and as published on the Academic Progress
Standards for Financial Aid Recipients webpage, www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/sap-policy/.
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 2012-2013 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) helps 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, retirement needs, and special considerations.
How to Apply
To be considered for the maximum amount of aid, students and families must apply for financial aid by May 1st. Steps to
apply can be found online www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/undergraduate-day-financial-aid/ and are updated
annually as federal and state processes change.
What Happens Next?
Once all documents are received, we review the financial aid application to determine financial aid eligibility for all
available programs. A financial aid award letter will be sent to the student. This letter details the financial aid award and
includes information regarding:
•
•
Institutional financial aid programs and requirements for continued eligibility
Federal and private loan programs (students must complete a loan application to receive loan funds)
Types of Aid
A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a specific scholarship or grant
(except as noted). The various forms of aid available are listed here for information only.
In addition to aid administered by Augsburg College, students are urged to investigate the possibility of scholarships and
grants that might be available in their own communities. It is worthwhile to check with churches, the company or
business employing parents or spouses, high schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid
available to students who meet their requirements. In addition to these sources, some students are eligible for aid
19
through Rehabilitation Services, Educational Assistance for Veterans, Educational Assistance for Veterans’ Children, and
other sources.
Augsburg may offer both merit-based and need-based financial aid to undergraduate students at the time of admission.
First year students can find specific information at www.augsburg.edu/firstyear/scholarships/ and transfer students can
find information at www.augsburg.edu/transfer/financial-aid-and-scholarships/.
Augsburg will also determine students’ eligibility to receive financial aid grants from both federal and state entities. This
grants include Minnesota State Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Pell Grant,
Federal TEACH grant, and Bureau of Indian Affairs/Tribal and State Indian Scholarship. Contact Student Financial Services
if you need any additional information about any of these programs.
Loan Assistance
Students must be enrolled at least half-time (6 or more credits) to be eligible for any federal loans
•
•
•
Federal Perkins Student Loan
o A federally-funded program administered through Augsburg College for students who demonstrate financial
eligibility. No interest accrues nor do payments have to be made on the principal at any time you are enrolled at
least half-time in school. Simple interest of 5 percent and repayment of principal (at the minimum of $40 a
month) begin nine months after you leave school. Repayment may extend up to 10 years. The loan offers a
teacher cancellation clause. The maximum that may be borrowed for undergraduate study is $16,000.
Federal Stafford Student Loan
o Subsidized Stafford Loans are need-based loans that the federal government subsidizes by paying the interest
while the student is in school and during the grace period.
o For the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, interest begins accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower is
responsible for all interest. The borrower may choose to make payments while in school or may defer payments
and allow interest to accrue and be capitalized (added to the balance of the loan).
Federal Parent Loan Program (PLUS)
o PLUS is a loan program to help parents meet college costs of their dependent children. Parents may borrow up
to the cost of attendance (minus all other student financial aid). Repayment begins within 60 days of final
disbursement.
Further information about all student and parent loan programs can be found online at the Financial Aid website,
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial.
Student Employment
Students are able to apply for work study positions through Augsburg’s Human Resources Office. Part-time work
provided by the College is considered financial aid, just like scholarships, loans, and grants. Students are limited to a
maximum of 20 hours of on-campus employment per week. The number of hours a student can work is dependent on
the position and the needs of the department. However, work is not guaranteed.
All on-campus work is governed by policies stipulated in the work contract issued to the student employee for each
placement. Payment is made bi-weekly by check to the student employee.
•
Federal College Work Study Program and Minnesota State Work Study Program
o Under these programs the federal or state government supplies funds on a matching basis with the College to
provide part-time work opportunities.
20
Residence Life Program
Students who choose to make Augsburg their home find a friendly, 23-acre village in the midst of a major metropolitan
area. They make many new friends among roommates and classmates. They are just steps away from Lindell Library,
classrooms, Hoversten Chapel, the ice arena, fitness center, and Christensen Center. With just over 1,000 students living
on campus, most students and faculty greet each other by name.
Augsburg recognizes the importance of the residential experience during the college years. Studies show that students
who live on campus are more likely to persist academically, to be involved on campus, and tend to have a slightly higher
grade point average. Residence Life staff are professional and student team members available to support students in
their academic and co-curricular experiences. Through their efforts residential community members become acquainted
with life at Augsburg through educational and social opportunities.
Living on campus offers many opportunities for learning, leadership, and fun. Numerous events are planned to welcome
students to the community, including dances, movie nights, open mic nights, and weeks devoted to special themes or
issues.
Resident students have access to a 24-hour computer lounge, wireless internet, study lounges, 24-hour security, laundry
facilities, and vending. All rooms and apartments are equipped with hook-ups for telephone, cable television,
computers, and internet access. A skyway connecting the lobby of Urness Hall and Mortensen Hall to Christensen Center
and Oren Gateway Center to the Lindell Library keeps students out of the weather on the way to class.
To secure housing on campus, students need to submit the following items by May 1:

Student Activities and Organizations
Augsburg’s mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense. Experiences in the classroom are an important
part of college life, yet learning and development also occur in formal and informal activities of the College and the
surrounding area. Whether students take classes in the day, evening, or weekend, 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 and Evening 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.
Student Government
The Augsburg Day Student Government and the Weekend and Evening College Student Government organizations
support and advocate for student concerns, needs, and activities. These student government groups serve as the official
student governments, and the primary voice and liaison between students and the administration, faculty, and staff of
Augsburg College.
Campus Activities and Orientation
Campus Activities and Orientation (CAO) creates and implements innovative programming that fosters individual and
community development and creates an environment where students can connect, engage, and invest in the Augsburg
community. CAO programming works to enhance and supplement the liberal arts and professional studies at Augsburg
College through quality transitional programs for new students as well as through leadership education.
CAO is made up of five program areas:
1. Campus Activities
CAO offers several programs and activities throughout the academic year designed to connect and engage students with
the Augsburg and surrounding community.
2. Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex and Asexual (LBGTQIA) Services
LBGTQIA Services works to improve the campus environment for all students, staff, faculty, and visitors at Augsburg
College by developing and supporting inclusive understandings of gender and sexuality, as well as by fostering a
community that honors and affirms the wholeness of all identities.
23
3. Student and Group Leadership Development
Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is an initiative designed to develop new leadership at Augsburg College by empowering
first-year students to cultivate and apply their inherent leadership skills through a semester-long skill-building training
program.
Student Group Development-CAO provides student groups with workshops focusing on social justice, privilege, antioppression, and other pertinent areas of development.
4. Orientation Programs
SOAR is a required two-day, overnight orientation experience for incoming first-year day students designed to help with
the transition to Augsburg College. Students will meet fellow classmates, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources
and services; and get a taste of life on campus.
Parent SOAR is an optional orientation experience for the parents and guardians of first-year students that runs
concurrently with the students’ SOAR session. Parents obtain important information about the campus; meet fellow
parents, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources and services; and get a taste of what life will be like for their
students on campus.
Transfer SOAR is a required day-long orientation experience for transfer students designed to help with the transition to
Augsburg College. Students will learn about College resources and services, hear about academic programs, and discover
why being a part of the Augsburg community is so rewarding.
Auggie Days is a required on-campus orientation experience for incoming first-year day students, which is designed to
complement SOAR, provide opportunities to enhance academic and personal success, and offer a helpful advantage in
starting at Augsburg College.
5. Student Groups
CAO manages student groups on campus and provides them access to many benefits, including but not limited to:
organization voicemail, email, and/or website, organization mailbox, Auggie's Nest workstation/work area, Auggie's Nest
locker, Auggie Room supplies, skill-building workshops and conferences, advising, funding and grants, and much more.
Student Center
Christensen Center, the Augsburg student union, serves students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests. Traditionally
considered the “living room” of the campus, the student union provides a central gathering place for the diverse
populations of residential, commuter, Weekend and Evening College, and graduate students at Augsburg through the
merging of curricular and co-curricular programs and activities.
Christensen Center also houses several student services, such as the Admissions Office, Campus Activities and
Orientation, the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work, Ethnic Student Services, Event and Conference Planning, the
Copy Center, Shipping and Receiving, the Information Desk, A’viands Food Services, and Mail Services.
The Auggies Nest, located on the ground floor of Christensen Center, serves as the student group office area and houses
the Augsburg Day and Weekend Student Government, the Augsburg ECHO (campus newspaper) office and the KAUG
(campus radio) office. Cubicles, lockers, and additional workspaces are also available in this area for student group use.
Fine Arts
Students have many opportunities to participate in music and drama. In addition to appearing on campus and in the city,
the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and Orchestra perform on national and international tours. Many other ensembles
are available to cover the entire range of musical styles and previous musical experience. Students stage several plays on
campus each year under the direction of the Theater Arts Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of oncampus workshops with visiting arts professionals.
24
Athletics and Sports
Intercollegiate Athletics
Augsburg is affiliated with the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) and is a member of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III. Men annually compete in football, soccer, cross country, basketball,
ice hockey, wrestling, baseball, track and field, and golf. Women annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer,
basketball, ice hockey, softball, swimming, track and field, and golf.
Intramurals
Every student is urged to participate in some activity for recreation and relaxation. An intramural program provides
competition in a variety of team sports as well as individual performance activities. Broomball has been an especially
popular coed sport. Check schedules for times when there is open use of the gymnasium and ice arena.
Sports and recreation
At Augsburg, sports are for all students as well as the intercollegiate athlete. The campus offers, on a space-available
basis, a double-rink ice arena, gymnasium, tennis courts, a fitness center with workout machines and weight room, and
an air-supported dome over the athletic field for winter fitness use by walkers and runners. (See additional information
under Health and Fitness, Fitness Centers.)
Sabo Center for Citizenship and Learning
Service-Learning and Community Engagement/Community Service-Learning
Augsburg’s Community Service-Learning Program provides students with opportunities to understand and respond to
needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences and civic engagement activities. A key component of
community service-learning is reflection on and analysis of community issues in order to promote personal and
educational growth and civic responsibility. By connecting classroom content with service-learning experiences in the
city, Augsburg students deepen their understanding of abstract course concepts while learning about pertinent and
related community issues. This dynamic and interactive educational approach employs reciprocal learning between
students and their community. Service-learning components are embedded in most academic disciplines.
Examples of community service-learning sites include homeless shelters, cultural and environmental organizations,
tutoring programs, and literacy centers.
Campus Kitchen Project and Community Garden
The Campus Kitchen Project connects the campus community with the larger neighborhood by using food as a tool to
nourish bodies, develop leadership, and educate students through service learning. To accomplish these goals, four
programs focus on this engagement:
•
•
•
•
Food to Share
o Surplus food from the Augsburg Dining Service is donated, reheated, and served by student volunteers to
neighborhood partners, including homeless shelters, youth and senior programs, and others. Augsburg students
in need can also find free food at our food shelf on campus, the Campus Cupboard.
Food to Grow
o On the corner of campus, Augsburg staff and students manage a community garden composed of nearly 100
garden plots where community and campus members can grow their own food. The garden staff also hosts

Bonner Leader Program
In November 2008 Augsburg College launched its first year of the Bonner Leaders Program. Through the Bonner
program at Augsburg, students develop deep community relationships and engage in long-term policy advocacy
throughout their four years at Augsburg. Those selected to be a part of the Augsburg College Bonner Leaders are
students with diverse ethnic and geographical backgrounds and experience in community and leadership work. Through
service placements with partner nonprofit community organizations, students work an average of 200 hours over the
course of the academic year supporting ELL classrooms, running an employment education computer lab, coordinating a
low-income housing program, community health outreach, and working with a financial literacy program and more.
Beyond their work-study service, students participate in other community initiatives and civic engagement projects on
campus.
Through their participation with the Bonner Leader program, students engage in monthly guided reflections and
leadership development training. The Augsburg Bonner Leaders Program is a successful model to build on the College’s
culture of community and civic engagement and to take the College community to the next level of deepening
knowledge, reflection, and authenticity of civic engagement in the community.
Augsburg Reads
The Augsburg Reads program is a literacy and tutoring program focused on elementary student achievement. Augsburg
Reads pairs college students with community organizations in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood that are focused on
student achievement through after-school programs.

Student Resources/Academic and Support Services
Library and Information Technology Services
The James G. Lindell Family Library opened in 1997. The four-level, 73,000-square-foot facility houses the library and
information technology functions of the College as well as the Gage Center for Student Success. In addition to its large
collection of print volumes, e-books, and e-journals, Lindell Library includes special collections and archives, a curriculum
library, a computer lab and student computing help desk, a library instruction classroom, and facilities for media viewing
and listening. Skyways link the library to Oren Gateway Center and Sverdrup Hall.
Learning Commons
Within Lindell Library, a Learning Commons provides assistance in research and the use of technology as well as spaces
for collaborative learning. In the Learning Commons multimedia lab, students can create digital audio and visual
projects.
Library Resources
Students can search a wide variety of local, regional, national, and international databases. They have access to 23,000
e-journals, 17,000 e-books, and 190,000 print volumes within Lindell Library and, through a daily courier service, access
to the library holdings of the seven private liberal arts colleges in the Twin Cities. In addition, 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 relevant and timely
access to information technology and training. Visit the Student Technology website,
www.inside.augsburg.edu/techdesk, for more on Information Technology at Augsburg.

computer classrooms and 41 technology-enhanced classrooms. The circulation desk in Lindell Library has 40 wireless
laptops available for use in the library.
Several computer clusters are available for more specific student use within academic departments. A high-speed fiber
optic campus network provides access to AugNet online services, printing, and to the internet. Network-ready student
machines can connect to the campus network from residence hall rooms or any building on campus using WiFi. All of the
AugNet online services are available securely on- and off-campus.
Clair and Gladys Strommen Center for Meaningful Work
Career & Internship Services
Career and Internship services at Augsburg includes a comprehensive resource center emphasizing the importance and
value for all students to engage in internships, career development, and the exploration of vocation throughout their
college years. The integration of “knowing and doing” adds breadth and depth to the curriculum and assists students in
making more informed academic and career decisions. The underlying assumption is that a liberal arts education is an
effective preparation for life, meaningful work, and active citizenship.
Career and Internship Services provides opportunities, programs, and career counseling to help students discover their
unique gifts, talents, skills, and interests; explore career paths; and grapple with questions of vocation and purpose in a
changing world. This process is viewed as an important part of a student’s development while attending college. To aid
in this process, professional career staff provide career assessments, individualized career planning and coaching. Staff
also assist students with choosing majors, planning for internships, preparing for internship and job searches, and
making connections to community, business, and alumni resources.

Internships
•
•
Academic Credit
o An internship for credit is a carefully planned, work- or service-based learning experience where a student
focuses on specific learning objectives that connect concepts of the major to the experience. An academic
internship is approved, supervised, and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the student
wishes to earn the internship credit. A learning agreement plan, negotiated with the faculty supervisor and work
supervisor, outlines the academic objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods for receiving credit. Students
do internships in nonprofits, small and large businesses, government agencies, museums, arts organizations, and
schools and churches.
o Internships for credit are available in all majors and can be taken during any semester. Interdisciplinary (INS)
internships are also available. Internships can be registered for 2 or 4 semester credits. A two credit internship
involves a minimum time commitment of, on average, 6 hours per week or 80 total hours for the semester.
Internships for four credits require a minimum time commitment of, on average, 12 hours per week or 160 total
hours for the semester. A maximum of 16 semester credits of internship may count toward the total credits
required for the degree. Internships completed off campus for credit will automatically fulfill the Augsburg
Experience graduation requirement.
Non-Credit and Transcript Notation
o Not-for-credit internships related to a student’s major or career interests can be registered for a zero-credit
transcript notation (GST009). The goal is for students to apply theory to practice in a work setting and reflect on
the experience. Work opportunities typically are part-time during the academic year and/or full-time during
summer, and can begin and end anytime. Students set learning goals and evaluate their experience. The
Director or Internship Coordinator of Career and Internship Services supervises non-credit internships and
transcript notation work experiences. Internships not for credit and transcript notations may be used to fulfill
the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement by completing a Work-Connections reflection process.
Gage Center for Student Success
The Gage Center assists all Augsburg students in setting and achieving optimal academic goals here at the College and
beyond. The Gage Center is located on the Link Level of Lindell Library. The center consists of five collaborating units:
The Deidre Middleton Office of Academic Advising
Academic Advising orients new Day and Weekend & Evening College undergraduate students to the academic policies
and procedures of the College and assists students with initial course selection. This office continues to serve students
throughout their tenure at Augsburg by interpreting core curriculum requirements, administering entry-level skills
assessments, interpreting graduation requirements, providing degree-planning materials, and answering questions on
student academic progress. Academic Advising functions as a supplement to Augsburg’s faculty advising system and
supports the work of professional staff advisors across campus.
All current students are assigned to a faculty advisor. Prior to the end of their sophomore year, when they have
completed 48 or more semester credits, students are required to declare a major and select a faculty advisor. Majors
and minors are declared online through AugNet Records and Registration. Students select a faculty advisor from their
major area of study using the Change of Major/New Advisor Form. All Day students are required to meet with their
assigned faculty advisor(s) each term prior to registration. Both day and weekend students are encouraged to meet with
their faculty advisor(s) as often as is necessary.
Academic Skills Office (ASO)
The Academic Skills Office helps students to achieve their academic goals and become self-directed learners.
Comprehensive academic support (e.g., time management, note-taking, reading, testing, motivation/procrastination,
problem solving, troubleshooting) is available for all Augsburg students through individual and group appointments. In
addition, the Academic Skills coaches address affective needs and aid in the transition to college. Coaches also refer
students to campus resources.
The Academic Skills Office coordinates several programs to support students:

Tutoring/Supplemental Instruction Services
o ASO coordinates free tutoring (contract and drop-in) for most classes and supplemental instruction in specific
courses. Tutors and SI leaders are recommended by course professors and trained by ASO to provide tutoring
support.
Conditional Admit Program (CAP)
o A limited number of students are admitted conditionally through the CAP program. If CAP students do not meet
the program requirements, they will be continued in the CAP program, placed on probation, or dismissed. Get
more information at the Academic Skills Office website, www.augsburg.edu/acskills. See the Academic Progress,
Probation, and Dismissal section of the catalog for a description of probation and dismissal procedures.
Probation Advising
o Students placed, continued, or returned to academic probation are required to meet with an approved
academic advocate. A registration hold is placed on the student's record, which will prevent registration, until
the student completes the probation requirements. Students who do not fulfill the necessary requirements of
their probationary status will be continued on probation and/or dismissed. For more information on probation
requirements, go to the Academic Skills Office website at www.augsburg.edu/acskills. See the Academic
Progress, Probation, and Dismissal section of the catalog for a description of probation and dismissal
procedures.
Augsburg Advantage at St. Kate’s (AASK)
o Based on their application for admission to Augsburg, the Augsburg College Admissions Committee selects
students for the AASK program. The AASK program is a collaborative effort between St. Catherine University (St.
Kate’s) and Augsburg. The program assists students with the transition from high school to college with specific
courses and supportive programming. The program provides participants with the opportunity to complete
similar coursework that first-year students complete at Augsburg. Students attend courses on the Minneapolis
campus of St. Catherine University and have access to both campuses for support, resources, and activities.
o Upon successful completion, students are guaranteed sophomore status (minimum of 28 semester credits) and
will have fulfilled many of the first-year Augsburg requirements.
o To complete the program, students are required to:
Complete all required courses (30 semester credits) including Foundations of Fitness (at Augsburg) with a
minimum 3.0 GPA and no course grade below 2.0 or P.
Satisfactory completion of all Critical Competencies at St. Kates

Complete transition application and recommendation process with advisor at St. Kate’s by March 15.
Complete the Summer Transition Program (one course and all programming) in summer semester at
Augsburg after year at St. Kate’s.
o A second year program, which would allow students to earn an Associate of Arts degree from St. Catherine’s
University, may be an option for students who are unable to transition after their first year in the AASK program.
Students should contact SCU and Augsburg advisors if interested in this option.
Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS)
The Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and academic
support for students with documented learning, attention, psychiatric, and other cognitive disabilities, and for students
with physical disabilities which may include TBI, chronic illness, mobility impairments, and vision, hearing, or speech
impairments, and temporary disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain
access to the college curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and
challenging, yet supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds, preparations, and experiences.
Each term, Disability Specialists work directly with students to discuss their disabilities and determine a plan for
academic access. Typically, meetings are held weekly and discussions may include:
•
•
•
Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g., extended time, note-taking)
Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, student technology assistance, academic advising, counseling,
financial aid)
Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Accommodations Laboratory
29
•
•
Assistance with academic, organizational, and time management skills
Campus living accommodations
The Disability Specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisors, and other members of the College faculty,
staff, or administration to support each student as they work toward success. Taking advantage of these opportunities
and services, however, remains the student’s responsibility.
Any Augsburg student who wants to establish eligibility for accommodations and services should schedule a meeting
with a Specialist to discuss appropriate documentation. CLASS also provides informal screenings for students who
suspect they may have a learning-related disability. These screenings are meant only to help students determine
whether they should seek a thorough evaluation by a qualified professional.
Academic accommodations are intended to ensure access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities and
may not fundamentally alter the basic nature or essential curricular components of an institution’s courses or programs.
CLASS services are made possible in part through endowment support provided by the Gage family and the Groves
Foundation.
TRiO/Student Support Services
Students with disabilities may be eligible to apply for TRiO/SSS.
TRiO Programs
TRiO programs are funded by the US Department of Education, and hosted with additional funding by Augsburg College.
TRiO Programs seek to help students overcome class, social, academic, and cultural barriers to higher education. They
help students prepare for college, adjust to college life, persist in college, and maintain good academic standing to
graduate with a bachelor’s degree, as well as assist with preparation for graduate school.
TRiO/Student Support Services
Student Support Services (SSS) is a TRiO program designed to help students persist in college and graduate in a timely
manner. The program serves students who are low-income, first-generation college students (neither parent has a fouryear degree) and/or students with disabilities to develop the skills and motivation necessary to successfully pursue and
earn a bachelor’s degree. Participants in TRiO/SSS must also be US citizens or permanent residents or refugees, must
demonstrate academic need for program services, and must be committed to succeed in college.

TRiO-McNair Scholars Program
The Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement Program, a federal TRiO program funded by the US Department
of Education, is designed to prepare participants for doctoral studies through involvement in research and other
scholarly activities. The goal of McNair is to increase graduate degree attainment for students from underrepresented
segments of society and to encourage these students to consider becoming college professors.
McNair Scholars enroll in the program during their sophomore or junior year. Students must be enrolled full-time at
Augsburg College, demonstrate strong academic potential, and have an interest in pursuing doctoral studies. To qualify
as eligible for the program, the student must be low-income AND first generation OR a member of a group
underrepresented in graduate study—African American, American Indian, Alaskan Native, or Hispanic/Latino. The
Augsburg McNair program serves 26 students per year.
A major component of the Augsburg McNair Scholars Program is a summer research experience in collaboration with a
faculty mentor. Scholars receive a $4,000 research stipend, plus a room and board stipend, and funding for research

Bernhard Christensen Center for Vocation
Augsburg College has a deep and long-standing commitment to the theological concept of vocation—the idea that all
people can use their individual gifts to serve God’s purposes in the world and that each person’s contribution is uniquely
valuable.
In the spring of 2002, with the generous support of the Lilly Endowment, Augsburg created a program called Exploring
Our Gifts that was designed to help students, staff, and faculty explore the connections between faith, learning, service,
and work. Over the years, the program has helped embed vocational themes into the curriculum and has sponsored a
wide variety of short-term projects that offer rich opportunities for reflection on how to live with purpose and meaning.
These ongoing projects include internships at nonprofit organizations, off-campus service projects, international
seminars, vocation-themed chapel presentations, interfaith forums, vocation retreats, and scholarships for students
interested in exploring service to the community, ministry, or church leadership.
When Exploring Our Gifts ended in summer 2010, the College created a permanent center—the Bernhard Christensen
Center for Vocation—that keeps vocation at the core of Augsburg’s vision. This center continues many of the earlier
initiatives and carries on the work of promoting discovery of gifts and discernment of calling among the students,
faculty, and staff at Augsburg as well as members of the larger community.
For further information on how to participate in Augsburg’s vocation programming, visit www.augsburg.edu/acfl/.
StepUP® Program
The StepUP program at Augsburg College strives to help students champion lives of recovery, achieve academic success,
and thrive in a residential community of accountability and support. The culture of StepUP is shaped by its values:
recovery based on spirituality and the 12-step model; personal responsibility, integrity, and living a balanced life;
educational success; giving back through servant leadership; thriving in a community that is an alcohol- and drug-free
environment; and developing healthy minds, bodies, spirits, and emotions.
32
Students live in on-campus recovery housing, have individual support meetings with licensed alcohol and drug
counseling staff, and participate in team and community-building activities. Students have access to academic skills
specialists and other support services on campus. Participation in Step-UP offers students leadership opportunities
within the program, on campus, and in the greater Twin Cities community. In StepUP, students join together to form a
community in which recovery is celebrated as a normal part of personal growth. Many of the friendships and bonds
students form while participating in the StepUP program last a lifetime.
In order to qualify for the program students must be committed to a 12-step abstinence-based recovery program, have
a minimum of six months of continuous sobriety, agree to abide by the StepUP contract, and live in StepUP housing.

The Pan-Afrikan Center (PAC) traces its roots to the 1968 event, “One Day in May” when Augsburg students compelled
faculty and staff to respond to Civil Rights era challenges pro-actively through sit-ins and teach-ins held on and off
campus. As a result, Black Student Affairs was born. It has evolved over the years into the PAC. Today, the PAC is
primarily a resource center, providing culturally-conscious personal, academic, financial, pre-professional and
transitional support for students of African descent. This serves to enhance the recruitment, retention, and graduation
of our students and facilitates a more meaningful learning experience. The PAC brings the knowledge and experience of
Afrikan people in the Diaspora to the community through a variety of programming as well through advising the PanAfrikan Student Union. The Pan-Afrikan Student Union (PASU) is a commissioned organization whose purpose is to
enable students of African descent to share their diversity and collectively express their fellowship with the Augsburg
community. PASU sponsors a variety of social, intellectual, and cultural activities.

Health and Fitness
Center for Counseling and Health Promotion (CCHP)
CCHP provides personal counseling in a confidential and supportive place for students to discuss personal life challenges
with professional mental health counselors. Through counseling, students can name personal strengths and challenges,
identify self-care and support resources, learn new relationship and coping skills, and increase awareness of values and
choices. Counseling services to students include individual counseling, group counseling, assessment and referral to
campus and mental health resources, educational workshops, and consultations in the case of concern for another
student.
Students bring many concerns to counseling, including stress, anxiety, depression, mood swings, relationship concerns,
grief and loss, roommate issues, intimacy and sexuality, alcohol and other drug concerns, family issues, eating concerns,
coming out and other sexual identity concerns, cultural identity, self-esteem, sleep difficulties, and other concerns.
Professional counseling can help increase student academic success both by increasing the opportunity for increased
self-understanding and personal growth, and by directly addressing potential barriers to academic success.
CCHP also offers health promotion activities and events that increase awareness of health issues and assists students in
adapting new behaviors for a healthier lifestyle, such as weekly yoga classes, mindfulness events and an annual health
fair. Health promotion also includes an active group of peer health educators, Engaging Peers on Issues and Choices
(EP!C) who are available to present an interactive alcohol education program to groups requesting the program. Health
promotion also works with various campus organizations and student groups to foster positive change within the
campus environment.
Health Insurance
Augsburg College does not require that students have health insurance, with the exception of international students and
student athletes. If a student is not covered by a health insurance plan, they may contact the Center for Counseling and
Health Promotion for more information on student health insurance plans.
Health Clinic Services
The College offers basic health care services to students through a contract with University Fairview Physicians –
Smiley’s Clinic. These services are limited. For students without health insurance, Smiley’s Clinic provides certain clinic
health services with a minimal co-pay at the time of the visit. Emergency services of any kind are not covered through
the contract between Augsburg and Smiley’s Clinic. Students with health insurance can also access Smiley’s Clinic for a
variety of clinic or other health services. A student’s health insurance provider will be billed for medical services and the
student will be responsible for any co-pays or deductibles associated with their insurance.

Special Academic Programs
Honors Program
The Augsburg Honors Program offers an adventurous education where students with a passion for ideas can be their
best. We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education.
Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike any other honors program in the nation because it gives students the resources
and freedom to build their own ideal higher education. Students have the opportunity to create their own courses, edit
and write for the Honors Review of Undergraduate Scholarship, participate in an intramural debate league, belong to an
Honors House, and learn through small reading groups, research projects, and travel around the world.
Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students, and includes a challenging “signature experience”
such as writing a play, putting great books on trial, or attending music, theater, and art performances. Honors courses
bring in professors from several different departments so students can learn from talented professors teaching their
specialties.
For information, contact Robert C. Groven, Honors Program director, at honors@augsburg.edu. Also see the Honors
Program in the departmental pages of this catalog.
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 college’s library consortium, the Augsburg community has direct access to more
than 2.5 million volumes and media resources of the 14 libraries.
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC)
Full-time Day students at Augsburg College, Hamline University, Macalester College, St. Catherine University, and the
University of St. Thomas may elect to take one course each semester (fall and spring) at one of the other campuses. No
additional fee is required for such an exchange, except for private instruction in music or approved independent studies.
Exchange courses are not transfer courses, and thus courses taken through ACTC are considered Augsburg College
courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses for which an Augsburg student
has cross-registered is kept in the Registrar’s Office at Augsburg College, not at the host ACTC institution. Students may
elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain new perspectives, to get better acquainted with the other
schools, or to undertake a specific course or major not offered on the home campus. A regularly scheduled bus shuttles
students between the campuses.
Weekend and Evening 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 Ecuador, New
Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, and the Twin Cities. (See HECUA programs in the International Programs and MetroUrban Studies sections of the departmental pages of this catalog.)
McNally Smith College of Music
Augsburg College full-time students may elect to take one course each semester at McNally Smith College of Music
(MSCM) providing that they meet all MCSM requirements. This program is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
There is no additional fee for this program. Students should consult with their advisors to confirm if the classes will
count toward graduation requirements. In no instance may a McNally Smith course be used as a substitute for any
Augsburg course specifically listed within a degree program.
37
Exchange courses are not transfer courses. Courses taken through the Augsburg-McNally Smith exchange are considered
Augsburg College courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses which a
student has completed through the exchange is kept in the Registrar’s Office at Augsburg College, not McNally Smith.
Air Force ROTC
Augsburg Day students may participate in the Air Force ROTC program at the University of St. Thomas under the ACTC
consortium agreement. Students are eligible to compete for two- and three-year AFROTC scholarships. ROTC credits
serve as electives at Augsburg. For more information contact the Registrar’s Office, or the University of St. Thomas at
651-962-6320 or 1-800-328-6819, x6320.
Army ROTC
Augsburg Day students may participate in the Army ROTC program at the University of Minnesota under an agreement
between Augsburg, the University of Minnesota, and the program. ROTC credits serve as electives at Augsburg. For more
information, contact the Registrar’s Office.
Augsburg Abroad
Augsburg Abroad is the front door for students and faculty interested in education abroad, which includes study,
internships, service-learning, research, student teaching, and field study abroad.
Services provided through the Augsburg Abroad office:
•
•
•
•
•
Study abroad program selection advising
Financial and academic advising for study abroad
Registration and billing for study abroad
Pre-departure and re-entry support (application, orientation, etc.)
Faculty-led, short-term program coordination
About half of Augsburg undergraduate students study abroad at least once before graduating. Students can study a
variety of disciplines in a wide variety of countries. For example, students have the opportunity to study gender issues in
Mexico, study social change in Central America, carry out business simulations in Norway and Germany, do student
teaching in Italy, intern with community organizations in Northern Ireland, do an internship in Namibia, do ecological
field study in Tanzania, take organic chemistry in England, and gain fluency in a foreign language where it is widely
spoken.
Students can choose from more than 300 programs in 90+ countries. Programs vary in length from one week to a year
abroad. In addition to the Augsburg Study Abroad programs (Augsburg faculty-led short-term, Center for Global
Education, International Partners and Exchange, and HECUA programs), students can choose from affiliated program
providers.
Academic Requirements and Credit
Students automatically fulfill the Augsburg Experience requirement on Augsburg Abroad-approved study abroad
programs. Courses taken abroad can also fulfill graduation requirements including major, minor, language, Liberal Arts
Foundation, Lifetime Activity, Honors, and internship requirements. This is determined prior to departure when students
fill out the required Course Approval Form that is signed by faculty advisor(s), and appropriate staff and faculty
approving courses.
Semester and Summer Programs
•
•
•
•
•
Courses taken on off-campus programs during the senior year meet the Augsburg residency requirement as students
remain enrolled at Augsburg while abroad.
Students must take a full load of credits while abroad on semester programs.
Students must take courses graded A-F while abroad.
Grades received on affiliated and non-Augsburg programs are reported as transfer credit on the transcript, and thus
are not figured into the GPA.
A grade of “C” equivalent or higher must be received for the credit to transfer to Augsburg.
38
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 permission prior to the start of the program will be re-added to the student’s schedule. If no work was
completed in these reinstated courses, a grade of zero will be awarded.
Eligibility
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. First-year students on a case-by-case basis may
be allowed to study at Augsburg’s Center for Global Education-Mexico site during their second term. Short-term,
faculty-led programs will allow participation as a first-year if the student receives approval from the faculty-leader
and if space allows.
Transfer students must complete one semester at Augsburg before they may study off campus.
Students must be in good academic and social standing. Students placed on academic or disciplinary probation after
admittance to study abroad may be withdrawn from the program. The student is responsible for all non-recoverable
program costs incurred.
No outstanding balances on student account
Note: Students applying to faculty-led programs who meet the above criteria are accepted to these programs on a first
applied, first accepted basis. Space is limited, so early application is important.
Application Process
In order to study abroad students should follow the P-A-C-K steps:
Profile: Create an online profile by clicking “Get Started” on the Augsburg Abroad website at
www.augsburg.edu/augsburgabroad.
Advising: Attend an advising meeting—check Augsburg Abroad website for times and location
Choose: Choose from more than 300 Augsburg and affiliate programs in more than 90 countries. An advanced online
search tool helps students find programs based on location, academic needs, and personal interests. Applying online is
easy—click "Apply Now" and follow the simple steps.
Key Dates: Keep track of application deadlines.

Spring-break faculty-led programs
Summer Session faculty-led programs
Fall semester and non-faculty-led summer study abroad programs
Program provider deadlines vary; students need to meet all deadlines and eligibility requirements set by program
providers. Students should start planning in their first year for study abroad to be sure to do appropriate research and
meet all deadlines.
Study Abroad and Disabilities
Students should be prepared for the fact that disability may be culturally defined. Attitudes toward disability and levels
of accessibility can vary greatly from country to country. The Americans with Disabilities Act mandates equal access to
university-sponsored programs and services to students with disabilities. However, providing access by US standards can
present unique challenges in international settings. The expectation on the part of US students and institutions is that
reasonable accommodations will be made. Depending on the country and culture, there may be different ways to define
accessibility and different expectations in terms of accommodations that can or should be made. Students are
encouraged to work closely with Augsburg Abroad and CLASS.
39
Students are responsible for requesting accommodations abroad within a reasonable time frame prior to departure,
ideally as early as program selection. Augsburg Abroad will work closely with the student and CLASS office to determine
needs and make appropriate and reasonable accommodations abroad.
Costs and Financial Aid
The cost of semester study abroad is comprised of program fees that generally include tuition, housing, international
health insurance, some meals, excursions, and study abroad fees. Airfare, personal expenses, books, and other expenses
are not included in the price of semester programs. Program costs vary; Augsburg College pays the program provider on
the student’s behalf and then bills the Augsburg student account. This allows students to access their financial aid for
study abroad. Students will always pay a minimum of Augsburg tuition when studying abroad.
Students who receive financial aid, loans, scholarships, and/or grants to study at Augsburg can use that entire package
to cover their study abroad program costs. Students receiving Augsburg institutionally-funded aid (e.g., President’s,
Regents’, Legacy, Promise, and other Augsburg gift aid/scholarships, and tuition benefit) may use their scholarships to
study abroad multiple times on Augsburg programs (see below in Study Abroad Program section). However,
institutionally-funded aid may be used only once toward study abroad costs on an affiliate program. Cost estimates for
the time abroad are drawn up to assist the student in planning and the financial aid office in awarding aid to students
studying abroad. Additional scholarships are available for semester and academic year programs.
The cost of short-term faculty-led programs is typically comprised of tuition (for summer programs), meals, airfare,
ground transportation, and interpretation/translation services. These costs are on top of any semester/year tuition
charges. Some scholarships are available, but are limited for short-term programs. Students often apply loans to fund
the additional cost of education travel.
Students are required to notify Augsburg Abroad immediately if they choose not to continue with their study abroad
experience. At the moment of notification, non-recoverable costs and a cancellation fee will be assessed and charged to
the student account. Depending on the time of notification of withdrawal, students may owe nothing; or they may owe
the study abroad fee, the deposit, or some or all of the program fee. Students are also subject to the cancellation and
refund policies of Augsburg Abroad and their program provider.
Augsburg Study Abroad Programs
Augsburg Faculty-led Short-term Programs
Faculty-led winter break, spring break, and summer programs offer opportunities to intensively study on a course
abroad with an Augsburg professor and other Augsburg students. Program travel length ranges from eight days to five
weeks. Program offerings change annually. Scholarships are available for some programs.
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, Cuba, 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 living several weeks 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. Scholarships are available for
Augsburg students.
History, Culture and Politics of Cuba—Fall or Spring
Learn about decision making processes and citizenship rights by exploring the impact of paternalism, centralism,
bureaucracy, autonomy, the role of mass organizations, collective rights, and the meaning of community. Students will
also explore social justice as it relates to wealth production, including discussion of market mechanisms, socialization,
and material versus moral incentives. The program will also delve into race, class, gender, and sexual orientation in the
Cuban context and students will be challenged to examine issues of equity, the impact of a classless society, and the
40
historical context of today's social relations. Course offerings include History of Cuba, Cuban Politics, Special Topics in
Sociology: Cuba Today, and Intermediate Spanish. Prerequisite: at least one year of Spanish or the equivalent.
Crossing Borders: Gender and Social Change in Mesoamerica (Mexico)—Fall
This program is an experientially-based intensive semester of study and travel designed to introduce students to the
important issues facing Mexico, US-Mexico relations, and the context in which many Mexicans are immigrating to the
United States. Students will improve Spanish language skills, as well as develop intercultural communication skills.
Students will learn about key social, economic, political, and cultural issues in Mexico, as well as explore the
interconnectedness of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, and religion. Students will learn firsthand from diverse
women and men involved in struggles for social change, as well as business leaders, religious leaders, feminist activists
and scholars, government representatives, politicians, and political activists. Spanish courses range from beginning to
advanced, including courses for bilingual students. The program includes rural travel within Mexico and four-to-five-day
seminar in Mexico City. Students stay in the Augsburg study center for part of the semester and with Mexican host
families for four to six weeks, although semester-long homestays are available for Spanish majors and others upon
request. Students may meet several Core Curriculum requirements while in Mexico and/or take courses in the following
four concentrations: Business, Religion, Spanish, and Women’s Studies.
Nation-Building, Globalization, and Decolonizing the Mind: Southern African Perspectives (Namibia)—Fall or Spring
This program examines the crucial issues of nation-building, globalization, and decolonizing the mind, from the
perspectives of the new democracies in southern Africa. Namibia won its independence in 1990 after decades of
apartheid under South African colonization. South Africa had its first democratic election in 1994. As these nations
struggle to build nationhood and deal with the legacies of apartheid and colonialism, they are faced with the challenges
posed by today’s world—rapid globalization as well as 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 in several disciplines.
Social Change in Central America: Exploring Peace, Justice, and Community Engagement (Guatemala, Costa Rica,
Nicaragua)—Fall or Spring

Women’s studies, and Political Science. Students spend the first five weeks in Guatemala, the next four weeks in Costa
Rica, and the final six weeks in Nicaragua. Students live with local host families for nine weeks. Prerequisites: one course
in college-level Spanish or its equivalent.
Migration and Globalization: Engaging Our Communities (Mexico)—Spring
This is an intensive program that explores issues of migration, immigration, and globalization. It is ideal for students who
are interested in working with Spanish-speaking populations in the United States, as it includes intensive Spanish
language classes, an internship or independent research opportunity, and courses that help students understand the
connections between globalization and migration while learning from diverse communities that are organizing for
positive social change around issues of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic class, gender, sexuality, economics, and the
environment. Credit is available in Spanish, History, Women’s Studies, Political Science, and Religion. Students spend
most of the semester living in Augsburg housing and approximately six weeks living with Mexican host families.
Social Work in a Latin American Context (Mexico)—Spring
This program was created to satisfy the curricular requirements for the Social Work degree program. Its goal is to
develop cross-culturally competent, ethical social work professionals with a global perspective by providing a semester
of transformative, experiential learning focused on social and economic justice. It includes Spanish language study and
social work courses. Social work field experience is also available for qualified students. Students live with Mexican host
families for six weeks.
41
International Exchange Partner Programs
The Office of International Programs offers a broad range of semester and academic year exchange programs in China,
Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Norway, and Slovenia. Students can choose from several options in diverse disciplines. All
coursework is in English. Travel scholarships are available for these programs. For further information on these programs
and scholarships contact Augsburg Abroad.
Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA)

Northern Ireland, Norway, and the Twin Cities. All HECUA programs explore civic engagement, community, and social
change, and emphasize internships and field study.
For more information on international HECUA programs, see the International Programs and Metro-Urban Studies
sections of the departmental pages of this catalog.
Community Internships in Latin America (Ecuador)—Fall and Spring
This interdisciplinary program, based in Quito, Ecuador, enables the student to combine intense involvement in a
community-based organization with study of the community development process. A home-stay and a hands-on
internship develop Spanish and other skills. The program addresses globalization, the environment, oil politics, and
other local and international issues.
New Zealand Culture and the Environment: A Shared Future—Fall
Based in Auckland, this new program examines how social and environmental factors shape political and ecological
dimensions of identity and culture, and how New Zealanders from many different backgrounds are envisioning and
creating a shared future. A number of topics explored during the semester include the history of colonization, the treaty
and the truth and reconciliation process that shape contemporary life, Maori protest and social movements, key
strategies used to address sustainability, and many more economic and environmental issues.
Northern Ireland: Democracy and Social Change—Fall and Spring
The Northern Ireland: Democracy and Social Change program examines the historical, political, and religious roots of
conflict in Northern Ireland, the prospects for peace, and the progress being made. Through a seven-week internship,
students get hands-on experience with organizations working for social change. Field seminars focus on human rights,
conflict transformation, and education for democracy. The program is located at the UNESCO Centre at the University of
Ulster in Coleraine.
The New Norway: Globalization, National Identity and the Politics of Belonging (formerly Scandinavian Urban Studies
Term/SUST)—Fall
A quarter of Oslo’s residents are not ethnic Norwegians. Students investigate changing Northern Europe using Norway’s
welfare state and Scandinavian national identity as case studies. Coursework and an internship provide unique
perspectives on how the Norwegian social democracy and Scandinavian welfare states are working to address the
challenges posed by immigration and cultural and ethnic diversity. Students choose an independent study project or
Norwegian language courses.

An interdisciplinary study of the role of art and the artist in working for social justice, and an exploration of the
relationship between art, culture, and identity. Students meet Twin Cities artists, activists, private and public arts
funders, and politicians, and engage in a thorough examination of the role of art in advocating for social change.
42
Environmental Sustainability: Science, Public Policy, and Community Action—Fall
This semester program addresses key processes of ecosystem degradation and rehabilitation, the social and economic
underpinnings of conflict over environmental change, and public policy and community-based strategies to achieve
sustainability. It uses social, economic, and environmental sustainability to address themes like the links between rural
and urban concerns and the way local decisions relate to regional and global trends. Students gain first-hand experience
learning from community organizers, government planners, and business leaders who are rising to the challenges of
creating a more sustainable world.
Writing for Social Change: The Personal, the political and the Power of the Written Word—Fall
Writing for Social Change prepares students to be better readers, writers, and actors in our society by looking at the role
of literature and literary production in creating social transformation. As one theme of the program, students focus on
“voice” and the idea of claiming voice as a means of empowerment, while they simultaneously develop writing craft and
critical reading skills. The program offers a balance of creative writing workshops (in fiction, poetry, and creative
nonfiction) and critical reading/reflection sessions.
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. The program strives to meet the needs of the community by offering credit and noncredit

Academic Policies and Procedures
Registration
A student must be registered for a course in order to earn credit, and all registered courses will be reflected on a
student’s AugNet Records and Registration page. Web registration through AugNet is the primary method of
registration, although registration can be processed through the Registrar’s Office with a Registration Form in instances
where online registration is not possible. Students are responsible for verifying the accuracy of their registrations.
Day students are required to meet with their faculty advisor prior to registration for the fall and spring terms. WEC
students are not required to meet with a faculty advisor, but it is strongly encouraged. . As some courses are offered
only in alternate years, students should also consult with departmental advisors when planning their academic program.
Specific registration dates and deadlines for each semester are listed under Academic Calendars at
www.augsburg.edu/registrar.
Students who believe they have sufficient preparation but not the required prerequisite for a course may contact the
instructor to inquire whether the prerequisite can be waived. ENL 111 and Math Placement Group 3 prerequisites cannot
be waived by the instructor. Students who believe they have already completed the prerequisite in question should contact
the Registrar’s Office at 612-330-1036 or registrar@augsburg.edu to resolve the issue.
The following registrations cannot be completed online and must be processed with a Registration Form:

Coordinator of Internship Services signatures required)
ACTC school course listings are also available online and should be checked to verify the correct meeting times and room
assignment.
Credit Loads
Full-time day students normally register for 16 credits per semester. Students in the WEC/Rochester programs typically
register for 4-8 credits each semester. Students registered for 12 or more credits in a semester are classified as full-time
students. Students registered for at least 6 credits are classified as half-time students.
To register for more than 18 semester credits, students must petition the Committee on Student Standing unless the
following apply: Students with a cumulative GPA at Augsburg of 3.00 to 3.49 may take a total of 20 semester credits
without petitioning; students with a cumulative GPA at Augsburg of 3.50 or greater may take a total of 22 semester
credits without petitioning. All overload registrations must be done through a Registration Form. (Note: There is an
additional tuition charge for course loads over 18 semester credits. This includes combining the credit load from both
the DAY and WEC programs. Auditing classes over the 18 semester credit limit will also incur a tuition charge.)
Internship Registration
Registration for internships consists of the following steps:
•
•
•
Complete and submit the Internship Registration form with signatures of the faculty supervisor and Director of the
Strommen Center for Meaningful Work.
You must register the internship for the academic term that coincides with the internship experience.

Crossover Registration Policy
Updated May 2013 – This policy is approved for the 2013-2014 academic year and is subject to review for the 2014-2015
academic year.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Every Augsburg undergraduate student is admitted to a “home program-Day/WEC.” Students may submit a Change
of Program request no more than once each academic year.
Students may register online for one or more courses per semester outside of 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 fall or spring semester. For example, a Day program student taking 8 semester credits in the Day program, and 4
semester 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 8 semester credits in the WEC program, and 4 semester credits in the Day
program, will pay the WEC tuition rate x 12 semester credits.
Day students who take more than 18 semester credits will pay the overload fee for any semester credits over 18 in
their combined Day/WEC load*. The maximum number of credits that may be included in the Day full-time tuition
rate for students who cross-register is 18. *Combined Day/WEC load includes all courses in Fall and Spring
Semesters.
Students have registration priority in their home program.
The WEC and Rochester programs are not part of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) consortium. WEC
students are not eligible to take ACTC courses on a crossover basis. Day students are allowed to register for
crossover and ACTC courses.
International students (F-1) are required to be enrolled in the DAY program and may not enroll as WEC students.
The only exception is the BSN completion program in WEC, as this major is not offered in the Day program.
International students are allowed to participate in crossover registration for specific courses as long as they
continue to be full-time students within the DAY program.
Crossover registration dates are published on the Registrar’s Office webpage.
Registration in Graduate Courses
Students must have completed an undergraduate degree and be admitted to a graduate program before taking
graduate level courses from that program. (An exception is made for approved courses in the Department of Nursing
and the joint BA Accounting/MAL.) Undergraduate students enrolled in graduate courses will pay the graduate rate for
those courses. Any student enrolled in an Augsburg graduate level program wishing to take an undergraduate course
will pay the rate of the program in which the course is offered (Day, WEC, or Rochester).
Evaluation and Grading
Explanation of Grades
The official delivery of end-of-term grades to students is online via AugNet Records and Registration.
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 grading
system.

Pass/No Credit Grades
Students who choose the P/N option are cautioned:
•
•
•
•
•
In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0.
Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of
P-graded courses, or rank each as a C.
Maximum number of semester credits taken P/N that may be applied to graduation is 24 semester credits with a
grade of Pass (P).
P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 56 traditionally-graded semester 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 P/N grading for no more than eight semester
credits.
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 they wish
to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading option must be made according to deadlines published
each semester.
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 submit a completed Application for Incomplete Grade form by the end of the semester with the Registrar’s
Office. This form states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the
course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion;
however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an
incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by
the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic semester. If the work is not completed
by the specified date of the following academic semester, the grade for the course becomes 0.0.
Extension (X) Grades
Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one semester. When this is the
case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first semester of
registration. A grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that
46
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 semester 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.
Withdrawal (W) Grade
A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a W grade
and before the last day to withdraw.
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 for the most recent attempt, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade
point average. Courses completed at Augsburg College must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat
policy.
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time Day students
will be charged an audit fee if their total credit load is over 18 credits. The charge for to audit a course is $1,000 for parttime Day and WEC students. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course
should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance,
and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been
audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Audited courses do not count
toward graduation and do not fulfill general education requirements.
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade
points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are not computed in the GPA.
The formula for computing the GPA is:
GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted with 0.0 to 4.0 grades assigned.
Classification
Students are classified when grades are posted at the end of each term. Classification is based on the number of
semester credits completed.

Academic Status Changes
Change of Program
Students may apply to change their “home program” completing a Change of Program form. Applications are reviewed
by the Registrar and Director of Student Financial Services. If approved, 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.
Readmission
To apply for readmission after withdrawing from the College, students must submit an Application for Readmission.
47
•
•
•
•
•
The last day to be approved for readmission is the Friday prior to the start of the term. Please note that processing
may take up to 10 business days.
If the student has attended other institutions since leaving Augsburg, official transcripts must be submitted to the
Registrar’s Office.
All financial holds must be cleared before a student can be approved for readmission.
If the student was academically dismissed, withdrew while on academic probation, or has a GPA below 2.0, they will
need to submit a personal statement explaining their circumstances for review by the Student Standing Committee.
If the student withdrew for medical reasons, a doctor’s note indicating the student is well enough to resume studies
must be submitted with the application.
Withdrawal from College
Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this will result in failing grades on
their official academic records. If necessary, students should instead submit a Withdrawal from College form. A
Withdrawal from College form may be obtained on the Registrar’s Office webpage. The deadline to file a Withdrawal
from College is the last Friday 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 submitted to the Registrar’s Office. Students
must be re-admitted to the College when they are ready to resume their studies. The Application for Readmission form
is also available on the Registrar’s Office webpage.
Students are responsible for keeping the Registrar’s Office informed of their current mailing address while away.
Leave of Absence
Students in the Day Program may apply to for a Leave of Absence for one semester. The Leave of Absence allows
continued access to Augsburg e-mail and AugNet Records and Registration. If a student on a Leave of Absence does not
register for the subsequent semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the student will need to submit an
Application for Readmission form in order to re-enroll. The Leave of Absence program is not available to Day students
who withdraw from all courses while their courses are in progress.
Military Called to Active Duty
Augsburg College will allow students to withdraw from courses without penalty if they are called to active duty as
military reservists, National Guard, or for other military service. This shall include a 100 percent refund of tuition and
fees upon verification of call to active duty. Students must provide a copy of their orders to the Registrar’s Office.
If the student is called to duty after the deadline to drop a course, the Registrar’s Office 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 to work out an incomplete agreement.
Students who are able to complete some of their courses would have their refunds adjusted to reflect this.
Students who are being placed on active duty should contact the Registrar’s 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)
For petitions requesting a late registration, any student account holds must be cleared before submitting the petition.
48
In addition, the Committee reviews students’ transcripts in determining academic probation or dismissal from the
College on academic grounds. The Committee also hears appeals from students who have been dismissed for academic
reasons.
The Committee reviews student requests for readmission to the College after dismissal or returning after leaving while
on probation, or students readmitting to the College immediately after a term in which they withdrew from College.
During fall and spring semesters, the Committee meets on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month. During summer
semester, the Committee meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month.
Petition Process
Petitions must include all information requested on this form and be submitted by 12 pm the day prior to the
Committee’s meeting. Petitions to change registration after a published deadline must be submitted within six months
of the deadline for the relevant term. These petitions may affect your financial aid or student account. Contact Student
Financial Services to learn any financial implications. Support of instructor, advisor, or department chair is required for
all petitions. Decisions are based on the policies and dates published in the College Catalogs, Student Guide, and
Academic Calendars. Decisions will be communicated to you by email within 3 - 5 business days of the committee’s
meeting.
1. Complete and sign the Academic/Student Standing Petition (found on the Registrar’s Office website), clearly stating
your request and rationale.
2. Obtain support from an instructor, advisor, or department chair.
• Requests to add/drop/withdraw a course must have a statement from the instructor.
3. Complete any forms that relate to the petition (i.e. Registration Form)
4. Attach any supporting documents.
• For medical issues, include medical documentation.
• For death of an immediate family member, include an obituary that states your relationship.
5. Submit completed petition (both pages) and attachments to the Registrar’s Office.
6. Check your Augsburg email account for the committee’s decision. Read the decision carefully, as you may be
required to submit further paperwork.
Catalog Applicability
Students must fulfill the general education requirements that were in effect when they matriculated at Augsburg.
Students may elect to satisfy the departmental major requirements of any of the catalogs in effect during their years of
enrollment. However, students who are readmitted after more than six years away from the College must complete the
departmental major requirements of the most current catalog at the time of readmission or any one of the catalogs in
effect during their subsequent years of continuous enrollment at Augsburg.
Second Majors and Degrees
Students with an existing baccalaureate degree from Augsburg or another institution may enroll to complete an
additional major(s) or minor(s). Students will not be awarded a second degree unless it is different from the original
degree awarded (BA, BM, BS). Students cannot earn multiple degrees for the same major, though it is possible to earn
multiple degrees from the same academic department if the majors are distinct. For example, a student cannot earn
both a BA in Computer Science and a BS in Computer Science, but may earn a BS in Computer Science and a BA in
Computational Philosophy.
Evaluation of Transfer Credit
The evaluation of transfer credits is completed by the Registrar’s Office and is based on a student’s official transcript(s).
College credit is granted for liberal arts courses completed at regionally accredited institutions with a grade of 2.0/C or
better. Liberal arts courses are defined as courses similar in nature, content, and level to those offered at Augsburg.
Augsburg does not grant transfer credit for developmental-remedial courses, vocational-technical courses, or continuing
education units (CEUs). Courses with grades of C-, CD, or below do not transfer to Augsburg College. Competency credits
and exam credits issued by another institution may and will be evaluated on an individual basis. The Registrar’s Office
49
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 College limits transfer credit from two-year colleges. Students may transfer a maximum of 64 semester credits
(96 quarter credits) from two-year colleges. Once a student reaches this credit limit, no additional credits will transfer
from two-year institutions toward the minimum number of semester credits required for a bachelor’s degree. However,
courses taken beyond the credit limit can be used to meet liberal arts and major requirements.
Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are reported on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from
other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average.
Students should consult with their faculty advisors and the Registrar’s Office before taking courses at other institutions
to ensure compliance with transfer credit policy and residency requirements.
MnSCU Transfer Students
Completion of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher will
satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements and will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one
course (REL 300). Students will be granted credit for transferable courses graded C or better. To qualify for this transfer
program, the MnTC must be completed prior to enrollment at Augsburg.
Completion of the Associate of Arts degree with the MnTC and a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher will
satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements, will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course
(REL 300), and will waive one of two Lifetime Fitness requirements. Students will be granted credit for transferable
courses graded C– or better. Transfer courses that equate to Augsburg’s requirements of Effective Writing, entry level
math, and modern language must have a grade of C or better in order for credit to be granted. To qualify for this
transfer program, the AA degree and MnTC must be completed prior to enrollment at Augsburg.
Note: Additional prerequisite coursework beyond the AA degree may be required in some Augsburg majors. Students
are advised to consult an academic advisor 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.
Advanced Transfer Students
Students who enter Augsburg with 52 or more semester credits accepted in transfer are considered Advanced Transfer
Students. The Augsburg Core Curriculum will be adjusted for advanced transfer students as outlined below:
•
•
•
•
•
Complete REL 300 Bible, Christian Theology, and Vocation instead of REL 100 and Search for Meaning II
Waiver of Augsburg Seminar requirement
Waiver of Engaging Minneapolis
Waiver of the Entry-level Critical Thinking Assessment
Waiver of one Lifetime Fitness requirement (depending on transfer evaluation)
All Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements not mentioned above remain unchanged for Advanced Transfer Students.
Waivers for Advanced Transfer are determined at the time of initial entry into Augsburg and will not be granted for
courses completed after initial enrollment.
Transfer Credit for Military Experience
Students are welcome to submit their military transcripts to the Registrar’s Office for transfer credit evaluation. A
military transcript will contain credit recommendations from the American Council on Education (ACE) for training and
courses completed in the US Armed Services. Augsburg will review a military transcript to determine if any of the credit
recommendations contained within it meet transfer credit guidelines.
Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy records maintained by JST: jst.doded.mil/
Air Force records: Air University and Community College of the Air Force are regionally accredited institutions. Students
should submit official transcripts from these schools during the admission process.
50
Graduation Requirements
The responsibility for ensuring that all degree requirements are satisfied rests with the student. 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 Office webpage. Faculty advisors, the Academic
Advising staff, department chairs, and the Registrar’s Office staff are available for counsel and assistance in program
planning.
Students who enter an academic program with a bachelor’s or higher degree should contact the Registrar’s Office about
specific requirements for a second bachelor’s degree or for the equivalent of a major.
All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the Registrar’s Office in order for the degree to
be conferred. There may be no incompletes or open courses on the academic record.
Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program
Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be
appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that comprise the academic program of a liberal arts college.
The Assessment of Previous Learning program (APL) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student’s previous
learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for
possible credit toward the completion of a bachelor’s degree.
Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning
must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts
curriculum, and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation.
The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have 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 appropriate credit.
IB exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available on the
Registrar’s Office webpage.
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. Credit granting
guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage.
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
This is a series of standardized tests developed by the College Board that 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. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office
webpage.
The American Council on Foreign Languages
These tests assess written and/or spoken proficiency in world languages. For a small fee, students can assess their level
of knowledge in world languages to earn college credit and/or waive the modern language requirement. More
information about eligibility and qualifying languages is available from Academic Advising.
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.
51
•
Credit for departmental exams is not computed in the GPA, and there is a charge per exam of $100 per semester
credit.
Portfolio Assessment Program
This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio
submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to
the student’s previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment
should consult the Registrar’s Office. In completing the evaluation of a student’s previous learning, the faculty team
applies the following criteria:
•
•
•
•
•
There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved
prescribed or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts coursework.
The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student.
The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
The learning relates well to the student’s educational goals.
The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time.
Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least one term of academic work at Augsburg
College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.50. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when
four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is a nonrefundable application deposit of $200 to initiate the credit
assessment process for each course presented in a portfolio. An additional $200 is charged upon approval of each
course. Credit granted by portfolio review is not computed in the GPA.
Transcript credit will be recorded with the equivalent Augsburg course numbers as determined by faculty reviewers.
Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning
While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this
learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg allows
a maximum of 32 credits (one-fourth of a bachelor’s degree) to be obtained through previous experiential learning. In
compiling the 32 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.
Graduation Information
Requirements for Undergraduate Graduation
Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a major, the Augsburg Core Curriculum, a
minimum GPA in major(s)/minor(s) and in total coursework, and residence.
Completion of 128 semester credits—No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 128 total semester
credits required:
o Eight semester credits by independent/directed study
o 16 semester credits of internship
o 24 semester credits with a grade of Pass (P)
o To graduate with Latin honors, students may take no more than eight elective P/N graded semester credits.
o 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 eight semester credits with P grades
toward a major and no more than four semester credits with a P grade toward a minor.
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 under the
Augsburg Curriculum section.
4. Grade Point Average —Students must earn a minimum overall grade point average of 2.00. Additionally, all majors
and minors require at least a 2.00 grade point average in coursework for the major or minor. Some majors,
licensure, and certificate 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.
1.
52
5.
Residence —A minimum of 32 semester credits must be completed through Augsburg College. Additionally, no
fewer than 24 of the last 32 semester credits must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved exchange
program (ACTC, McNally Smith, or Augsburg Abroad). Transfer courses and Assessment of Previous Learning (APL)
credits are counted against the residency requirement. Therefore, students are encouraged to complete transfer
work and APL credits prior to reaching senior standing. Some departments have a minimum number of credits that
are required in residence within the major or minor. Consult the departmental pages of this catalog for further
information.
Latin Honors
Augsburg recognizes those students who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement by conferring Latin
honors upon completion of a bachelor’s degree.
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
Magna Cum Laude
Cum Laude
3.90-4.00 GPA (plus successful completion of the Summa Oral Examination)
3.80-3.89 GPA
3.60-3.79 GPA
To be eligible, a student must complete a minimum of 56 traditionally-graded credits at Augsburg and have no more
than eight elective pass/no credit graded credits at Augsburg (classes offered only with P/N grading will not be counted).
For additional information, including the guidelines for the summa cum laude oral examination visit the Registrar’s
Office webpage.
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 achievement. 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. One commencement ceremony is for students in the Day undergraduate program. The second ceremony is for
graduate program students and undergraduate students in the Weekend and Evening College and Rochester programs.
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 semester; and (2) the remaining
requirements will be completed in the summer or fall semesters immediately following commencement.
Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal
The College requires that all students maintain a 2.00 cumulative grade point average (GPA). A minimum GPA of 2.00 is
required for graduation; however, certain majors require a higher minimum GPA.
A student will be placed on probation and considered for continuation or dismissal if:
•
•
•
•
His/her cumulative GPA is below 2.00
He/she is a first-year student who receives two 0.0 or No Pass grades
He/she is a sophomore, junior, or senior who receives three 0.0 or No Pass grades
At the end of the first term, he/she has not fulfilled the requirements established through the Conditional Admit
Program (see the Academic Skills Office Conditional Admit Program CAP section).
53
For more information on probation requirements, go to the Academic Skills Office website.
Dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Student Standing Committee. Evidence of a
student’s commitment to academic progress is the primary consideration used when deciding whether to dismiss.
Students on probation who voluntarily Withdraw from College must receive permission from the Student Standing
Committee to re-enroll.
Students who have been dismissed may apply for readmission after one year. At that time, the Student Standing
Committee will review the application for readmission accompanied by any statements and evidence attesting to the
student’s commitment to academic success.
A student will be removed from probation if:
•
•
His/her cumulative GPA reaches 2.00; or
He/ she was placed on probation because of unfulfilled Conditional Admit Requirements and he/she subsequently
satisfies those requirements.
The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is
dismissed, he/she may appeal the decision to the Student Standing Committee within 10 calendar days of notification.
Specific appeal instructions are included in the letter of dismissal.
Students may also be dismissed from professional programs, such as social work, education, and nursing. A student
dismissed from a program may appeal the decision through the Program Dismissal Appeal Process. The process is
available at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide.
Dean’s List
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 (12 semester credits), graded on the traditional grading system, with no
incompletes in courses offered for credit. The Dean’s List is published on Inside Augsburg and students can choose to
submit an announcement to their hometown newspaper.
Enrollment/Degree Verification
Augsburg College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as its agent for verification of student
enrollment and degree status.
Contact information is as follows:
National Student Clearinghouse
2300 Dulles Station Blvd, Suite 300
Herndon, VA 20171
Web: www.studentclearinghouse.org
Phone: 703-742-4200
Veterans of Military Service
Augsburg is approved by the state approving agency for VA education benefits. Veterans and eligible spouse and
dependents should consult with the VA School Certifying Officials in the Registrar’s Office and Student Financial Services
about completion of enrollment verification and the forwarding of other information to the Department of Veterans
Affairs. Veterans will need to meet the requirements of the Veterans Administration regarding repayment of
educational assistance funds received.
Additional information about veterans education benefits can be found at www.gibill.va.gov.

The Augsburg Curriculum
Augsburg College constructs its curriculum upon the premise that students must be educated intellectually, spiritually,
and physically. To act effectively, human beings must have a broad grasp of the world from which they have come as
well as the world in which they live. By providing courses in the humanities, fine arts, natural sciences, and social
sciences, the general education curriculum introduces students to the breadth and complexity of knowledge and
culture.
Required Search for Meaning courses are designed to acquaint students with the Christian tradition, introduce them to
other faith traditions, and encourage them to reflect upon the importance and meaning of spirituality in their lives.
Fitness courses offer students opportunities to develop skills for participation in exercise and sporting activities.
Students choose from more than 50 major areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for
a career or further study. Thus, through a balance of curricular activities supported by full programs in student life and
religious life, an Augsburg College education strives to educate its students in a real world for the real world.
Overview
The Augsburg Curriculum is comprised of three main components: core curriculum (or general education requirements),
major requirements, and electives. Some students may need to complete entry-level skill courses before enrolling in
college-level classes. The general education requirements, known as the Augsburg Core Curriculum, include signature
courses and experiences, a liberal arts foundation, and skills development.

•
•
•
•
•
Critical Thinking
Mathematics
Writing
Foreign Language Placement (French, German, or Spanish)
and, if applicable, English Language Learning
First-year students who begin at Augsburg in the fall of 2013 or later, who require developmental/entry-level courses,
must complete these courses by the end of their fourth term. Transfer students who begin at Augsburg in the fall of
2013 or later must complete all required developmental/entry-level courses by the end of their third term. The
developmental courses subject to this policy are:
•
•
•
•
•
GST 100
ENL 101
ENL 111 / HON 111 / ENL 112
ENL 217 / 218
MAT 103 / 105
Entry-Level Critical Thinking
Students identified as needing the entry-level critical thinking skill component, based on review of their past academic
work, are required to complete GST 100 with a minimum grade of 2.0 or better.
Entry-Level Mathematics
All students will 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. Students are
required to take the Math Placement Exam before registering for the first term. Practice questions and other
information are available from Academic Advising. Students may retake the Math Placement Exam once during their
first term of enrollment.
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 in Math Placement Group (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.
Entry-Level Writing
A writing sample is required of students to determine placement in an appropriate writing class. In some cases, students
who have transferred an equivalent English composition course from another college or Advanced Placement English
Language and Composition with a score of 4 or 5 may have placement determined by the Registrar’s Office. All other
students must take the Writing Placement Test, which is administered by Academic Advising.
Based on the writing sample, students are placed into the appropriate writing course. Students are required to complete
Effective Writing (or Advanced Effective Writing or Honors Effective Writing). Students who need to develop
competence in composition skills are required to enroll in Developmental Writing (ENL 101) before taking Effective
56
Writing. These students must pass Developmental Writing (ENL 101) with a grade of P, 2.0, or higher before enrolling in
Effective Writing (ENL 111/112/HON 111).
Modern Language Assessment
Students with proficiency or experience in French, German, or Spanish will complete an assessment to determine
placement in Augsburg’s modern language courses. This assessment, administered by Academic Advising, determines
the appropriate starting point for satisfying the modern language requirement. Assessment to determine placement in
other languages taught at Augsburg is administered by faculty representing the specific language.
English Language Learners (ELL) Assessment
Students whose primary language is not English must take the ELL placement test. The placement test assesses
preparedness for classes taught in English. Students with 6 or more year of formal primary and/or secondary education
in an English speaking education system meet Augsburg’s definition of English as their primary language and therefore
are not required to take the ELL placement test. Students’ placement in ELL will be determined by their score on the
placement test. Students placing below the 85th percentile are required to enroll in ENL 217/218 - English for Language
Learners.
Near the end of each term of English for Language Learners, an objective test will be administered to all students in the
class. The score on this test will determine whether additional ELL coursework is required. A score of 85 to 100 fulfills
the student’s ELL requirement. All students who do not meet the definition of English as primary language must stay
enrolled in ENL 217/218 until such time that they pass the ELL placement test at 85 percent or higher. The ELL course
can be counted only twice in the total number of courses required for graduation. Students who fulfill the ELL
requirement have completed the Modern Language Core Skill requirement for graduation.
Core Skills Requirements
Effective Writing
Students must pass ENL 111 - Effective Writing, ENL 112 - Advanced Effective Writing, or HON 111 - Honors Effective
Writing with a grade of 2.0, P, or higher, or transfer in an equivalent course. Attendance at the first day of class is
required.
Modern Language
For students who have not previously studied a modern language, completion of a two-course sequence in the same
language with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P in both courses is required. For a language previously studied, placement
into the 211 level or successful completion (minimum grade of 2.0 or P) of 112 satisfies the graduation requirement.
Placement into French, German, and Spanish courses is based on assessment results from an online Brigham Young
University evaluation tool. Students proficient in other modern languages may seek a placement evaluation through
faculty fluent in the specified language at Augsburg or other ACTC schools. Availability of assessment in all languages is
not guaranteed.
Assessment is used for placement only and does not result in credit. Students may audit, but will not receive credit for
any course taken below their placement level. The Department of Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies may override
assessment results as deemed appropriate.
Modern language courses accepted in transfer may be applicable to this skills area for partial or full completion of the
requirement.
Students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by passing an approved course sequence will
have fulfilled the Modern Language Core Skill.
Students whose first language is not English and whose score is below the minimum on the English Language Learners
(ELL) placement test must fulfill the ELL requirement. The requirement is satisfied by successfully completing the ELL
course(s) and achieving a score above the minimum on the ELL placement exam. Students who complete the ELL
requirement will receive credit for the Modern Language Core Skill requirement. Contact Academic Advising or the
English Department for additional information.
57
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 HPE 002 - Lifetime Activity courses. 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 noncredit courses and are not included in the 128 credit
graduation requirement.
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
Cultivates the transformative discovery of, and appreciation for, the student’s place of leadership and service in a
diverse world
The curriculum has three major components:
•
•
•
The Augsburg Signature Curriculum
The Liberal Arts Foundation
The Graduation Skills Requirements
The Augsburg First Year
In order to help them make the transition to college and their new community, first-year weekday program students are
required to take courses containing the following components:
Augsburg Seminar
All students who enter the College as first-year students in the weekday schedule program must satisfactorily complete
fall orientation and Augsburg Seminar (AugSem), a first-year learning community in their major or related area of
academic interest. AugSem’s purpose is to help first-year students embrace the expectations and benefits of being a
member of a learning community at Augsburg College by:
•
•
•
Encountering the community
Engaging the learning process
Exploring the self as scholar
AugSem equips students to become intentional learners, connects them to the larger Augsburg community, and helps
them succeed in future college work.
Engaging Minneapolis
The Engaging Minneapolis requirement builds on Augsburg’s national leadership in experiential education as well as its
commitment to its urban location. Embedded in the AugSem experience, Engaging Minneapolis introduces students to
the city as a resource for intentional learning, typically through civic engagement, cultural engagement, or servicelearning.
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
among diverse writers and readers.
58
The Augsburg Signature Curriculum
Christian Vocation and the Search for Meaning
Augsburg’s Signature Curriculum takes seriously the College’s identity as a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America. Two required courses (REL 100 plus a Search for Meaning II course) highlight Augsburg’s commitment to this
identity and the College’s commitment to developing religious literacy and nurturing students to think critically about
the concept of vocation.
Students from all faith traditions will find a generous spirit of hospitality in these courses. Whether you are Jewish or
atheist, Buddhist or seeker, Catholic or Muslim, Baptist, Lutheran, uncertain, disinterested, or someone who is “spiritual
but not religious,” these courses promote respect and understanding across faith traditions. All religion courses engage
with the concept of vocation and an understanding that we are called to live and serve as neighbors. REL 100 explores
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 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 liberal arts provide the opportunity for students to acquire a broad
and solid foundation for their specialized study and professional preparation.
Students choose two approved LAF courses from two different departments in each domain: Natural Sciences and
Mathematics, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Humanities, and Fine Arts.
The official list of approved LAF courses is found on the Registrar’s Office webpage.
Natural Sciences and Mathematics
Two approved courses from two different departments: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics. One must be a lab
science course.
Social and Behavioral Sciences
Two approved courses from two different departments: Anthropology, Economics, Environmental Studies, Political
Science, Psychology, Sociology.
Humanities
Two approved courses from two different departments/programs: American Indian Studies, Communication Studies,
English, History, Philosophy, Religion, Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies (literature and culture courses), Women’s
Studies.
Note: The signature Search for Meaning (REL 100, 200, or 300) courses do not count as humanities Liberal Arts
Foundation requirements. If a student opts to take another upper-division REL course to fulfill the Search for Meaning II
requirement, it may not count toward a Humanities LAF.
Fine Arts
Two approved courses or approved activities from two different departments: Art, Film, Music, Theater Arts.
One fine arts LAF requirement can be met by participating in one of the following:
•
•
•
Four semesters in any combination of the major choral ensembles listed (MUE 111, 112, 114, 115)
Four semesters of orchestra (MUE 121)
Four semesters of concert band (MUE 141)
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 and applied work experiences (including fieldwork, practicums, and student
59
teaching), faculty-student research, service-learning/community service, study abroad, and off-campus immersion
experiences.
An Augsburg Experience integrates experiential and academic learning and 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 the regular class schedule. The length of time
required, credit/no-credit status, and grading options for approved Augsburg Experiences vary.
Senior Keystone
The Senior Keystone course provides a final opportunity for exploring the central themes of an Augsburg education—
vocation and the search for meaning in a diverse and challenging world. Students reflect on the meaning of their
educational experiences and consider issues of transition as they prepare for their lives after Augsburg. Most Keystone
courses also meet major requirements.
The Senior Keystone course in each department connects the broad liberal arts foundation with the professional skills
and in-depth study of the major. It asks graduating students to think critically, reflectively, and ethically about their place
in the world as leaders and servants.
ůĞĐƚŝǀĞƐ
A student must complete a minimum of 128 semester credits in order to graduate. If the Core Curriculum and Major
requirements do not reach 128 semester credits, the student may take electives for credit in any subject area to reach
the minimum credit requirement.
Majors
For major requirements, see the appropriate departmental page(s) of this catalog or consult the department chair.
Graduation Skills
An Augsburg education aims to develop certain key skills during the years in college. Critical thinking, quantitative
reasoning, speaking, and writing skills are deliberate components of certain courses. Graduation skill requirements
typically are embedded in required courses in the major. Some departments, however, designate courses outside the
major or elective courses in the major that fulfill these requirements.
The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) skill incorporates both foundational mathematical skills and the application of those
skills. Courses in which foundational quantitative reasoning skills are taught have a QF designation. Courses that contain
an embedded project in which students apply and practice those foundational skills have a QA designation. Courses that
provide both foundational skills and an application project have a QFA designation. MPG 3 (Math Placement Group 3) is
a prerequisite for all quantitative reasoning QF and QFA courses. Departments may designate one required course with
a QF designation and one required course with a QA designation (departments may also designate a list of QF or QA
courses from which students can choose); OR, departments may designate a QFA course that fulfills the Quantitative
Reasoning skill (departments may also designate a list of QFA courses from which students can choose); OR,
departments may list this skill as embedded.
See the appropriate departmental page(s) in this catalog or consult the department chair for more information.
Core Curriculum Modifications
Some majors that result in a Bachelor of Science degree give students the ability to modify their Core Curriculum
requirements in one of the following ways.
Bachelor of Science/Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) Waiver
Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver must complete at least six of the eight LAF requirements,
provided at least one course is taken in each of the four domains. (e.g., two Natural Science and Mathematics courses,
two Social and Behavioral Science courses, one Fine Arts course, and one Humanities course) The following majors are

Majors and Minors
Majors, or concentrations of study, may be within one department, within one division, or may cross academic
disciplines.
Students are required to declare a major upon completion of 48 semester credits, and earlier in some disciplines. Details
of majors and minors are in the departmental pages of this catalog. Unless otherwise indicated, majors are part of the
Bachelor of Arts degree. Students are not required to complete a minor for graduation. Minors completed after a
bachelor’s degree is awarded are noted on the transcript.
Below is a complete list of majors, minors, and emphases. Listings that are in bold type are offered through both the Day
Program and WEC. Listings indicated by asterisks are also offered through both the Day Program and WEC, and may
include completion of weekday evening courses for some requirements. Students are encouraged to discuss scheduling
rotation of major courses with their faculty advisor.
Weekend/Rochester students may choose a major offered in the Day program if they wish, but must adhere to
crossover registration policies and limitations. Students may also take as many courses as possible through the WEC,
then finish the major as a Day Program student. A change of program request is allowed once each academic year, and,
if approved, will take effect the following semester.

Dual-degree programs with the University of Minnesota Institute of Technology and Michigan Technological University.
63
Student-Designed Major
Students may design their own major with the assistance and approval of three advisors 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 advisors, and obtain AAC approval of the program. Students should
seek AAC approval as early as possible so that any changes suggested by AAC may be incorporated into the design
without affecting the student’s proposed completion date. The deadline for initial submission of the program design to
AAC is the first term in which the student has achieved junior status; the final version must be approved the term before
the student achieves senior status.
Students wishing to design majors must:
1. Develop the student-designed major in concert with three faculty advisors from relevant fields, who together
constitute the Review Team. All advisors 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
advisors’ 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 statement of learning goals and objectives
A list of proposed courses (minimum of 36 semester credits, no more than one of which is a lower-level
language course, and at least five of which are upper division) and a discussion of how the courses are related to
the program goals. Indicate how the proposed courses collectively support a specialized and cohesive plan
usually associated with a college major. Proposals must include research describing comparable programs of
study at a minimum of three other academic institutions. In addition, students should consult with the
Strommen Career and Internship Center for additional information regarding career objectives. The proposal
should provide information showing how the Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements (including graduation
skills) are to be fulfilled.
A description of the student-designed major capstone to be taken some time during the senior year. The student
should devise the capstone in consultation with advisors. It should require an integrative project/paper that
draws together the coursework up to that point and/or prepares one for further study. In addition, at least one
of the advisors 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 advisors presumes their approval of the capstone
course.
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 advisors 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 advisor approval.
ACTC Majors
Full-time Day students may complete other majors through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). Students
who wish to complete a major or minor offered at one of the other ACTC colleges must submit a completed ACTC Major
or Minor Declaration Form to the Registrar’s Office. This form must list all ACTC courses required and be signed by the
ACTC school advisor. Some majors may not be available or may have a competitive application process with acceptance
determined by the major department.
Weekend and Evening College is not part of the ACTC consortium, and WEC students may not register for ACTC courses
or complete ACTC majors under the terms of the ACTC consortium agreements.
64
Other Study Programs
Teaching Licensure
Several teaching licensure programs are offered at Augsburg. Licensure is available in kindergarten-elementary or K-6
license. A middle school endorsement is available in one of the following: mathematics, science, communication
arts/literature, social studies. A preprimary endorsement (3- to 5-year-olds) is also available.
Licensure is also available in the following middle school/high school fields: 5-8 general science, life sciences, chemistry,
communication arts/literature, health, mathematics, physics, and social studies. This license prepares people to teach in
grades 5-12. Students seeking licensure in one of these areas obtain an appropriate subject area major and complete
secondary licensure coursework.
Specialist licenses are available in art (K-12), vocal music and instrumental music (K-12), and physical education (K-12).
The licenses prepare people to teach in grades K-12. Students seeking licensure in one of these areas also obtain the
appropriate subject-area major and complete the secondary licensure coursework. (See Department of Education and
subject area departments for more information.)
A K-12 special education major or license in Special Education: Academic Behavioral Strategist (ABS) is available. A K-12
major and license in English as a Second Language (ESL) is also available. These two majors and licenses are offered only
through Weekend and Evening College. Students seeking elementary licensure, special education licensure, and ESL
licensure have Education Department advisors.
Students seeking 5-12 and K-12 licensure have advisors in their subject area major and in the Education Department. It is
important that students work closely with their advisors throughout their programs.
Certificate Programs
Augsburg offers undergraduate certificates through the Departments of Art and Business Administration (see
departmental pages for requirements). Certificates are available to non-degree-seeking students or students who are
completing a degree from a different academic department. A student may declare degree-seeking status after earning
a certificate.
Pre-Professional Programs
Students who plan to enter the fields of law, medicine, dentistry, ministry, veterinary science, pharmacy, or engineering
can profit from a liberal arts education at Augsburg.
It is recommended that requirements for admission to graduate schools or seminaries be reviewed and the course of
study at Augsburg planned accordingly. A faculty advisor is available in each field to assist students in their planning.
Students who want to plan a pre-professional program should contact Academic Advising prior to or early in their first
year to arrange for faculty advising.
List of Pre-Professional Programs:
•
•
•
•
Pre-Dentistry
o These courses are recommended to fulfill the minimum requirements of the School of Dentistry at the
University of Minnesota: ENL 111, 220; BIO 151, 152, 253, 369; CHM 115, 116, 351, 352; MAT 114 or 163 or 248;
PHY 121, 122; PSY 105. Requirements at other universities may vary.
Pre-Engineering
o See Engineering departmental page.
Pre-Law
o Students considering a career in law should examine the handbook published by the Association of American
Law Schools. Pre-law students major in disciplines of their own choosing; most law school entrance
requirements will be satisfied with a record of solid achievement coupled with an acceptable Law School
Admission Test (LSAT) score.
Pre-Medicine
o Majors in chemistry and biology are not required in order to apply to medical schools, but many students with
an interest in the health sciences choose to major in these fields. The competitive candidate typically has
65
•

•
•
substantially more training than the minimal course requirements. At this time, most medical schools list
prerequisite courses which are the equivalent of CHM 115, 116, 351, 352; BIO 151, 152, 253; MAT 145, 146 and
PHY 121, 122. Many also require the equivalent of BIO 369 and MAT 163 or 248. Students should take care to
examine closely the requirements of each program to which they intend to apply.
o The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is scheduled to be substantially altered in 2015. A new section in
social and behavioral sciences will be added and greater emphasis placed on advanced topics in biology.
Students planning to enter medical school in the fall of 2016 or later should work closely with health profession
advisors to learn how the exam will differ from the current format and what prerequisite coursework will be
required by medical schools at that time.
Pre-Occupational Therapy, Pre-Physician Assistant, and Pre-Physical Therapy
o Coursework in preparation for these programs should be discussed with a faculty member in the Department of
Biology.
Pre-Pharmacy
o Augsburg has a program designed to fulfill minimum requirements of the College of Pharmacy at the University
of Minnesota: BIO 151, 353, 476; CHM 115, 116, 351, 352; COM 111 or 115; ECO 112 or 113; ENL 111, 220; MAT
145; PHY 121, 122; and two courses in behavioral sciences such as PSY 105 and SOC 121. Requirements at other
universities may vary.
Pre-Seminary
o A student may enter a theological seminary with any of several different majors, such as history, philosophy,
English, psychology, sociology, or religion. Recommended preparation includes REL 100, 200; at least two
semesters of history (Western civilization); one or more courses in the history of philosophy; and Greek in the
junior and/or senior year. The Bernhard Christensen Center for Vocation provides resources and support,
including scholarship opportunities, for students considering seminary.
Pre-Veterinary Medicine
o To meet minimum requirements of the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Minnesota, the
following courses are required: ENL 111, 220; MAT 114 or 145; BIO 151, 152, 253, 355, 369, 476; CHM 115, 116,
351, 352; PHY 121, 122. Additional liberal arts courses are required. Requirements at other universities may
vary.
66
Academic Organization and Departments
As a liberal arts institution, Augsburg College believes that knowledge and truth are interrelated and are integrated into
a whole. The tradition of the academic world, however, divides this unified truth into more manageable parts: the
academic disciplines. The knowledge of individual disciplines is subdivided into courses that make it more accessible to
students. These courses can be arranged in various ways to construct majors, to create the substance of a broad general
education, and to give students the opportunity to study areas of particular individual interest.
Degrees Offered
Augsburg offers the following undergraduate degrees:
• Bachelor of Arts
• Bachelor of Music
• Bachelor of Science
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 advisors and participate regularly in campus activities. Every incoming student receives an advisor. In
this close interaction, faculty act as both mentors and models for students.
Course Descriptions
Course descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter to aid students in planning a program. Course
descriptions can be found at our Course Description Search. A syllabus containing a more detailed explanation of
content, approach, requirements, and evaluations for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor.
Internships and Independent Studies
Every department offers opportunities for internships and independent study. The course description and process for
registering for credit is normally the same for each department. Some departments have additional requirements that
are noted in the course description. Interdisciplinary internships are also available.
Internships
199 - Internship/Off-campus (4 credits)
A work or service-based learning experience typically at the sophomore level in which a student, faculty member, and
site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities
inherent in the placement. Prior to the beginning of the term/registration, interested students must consult with the
departmental internship coordinator or a faculty member and the Strommen Center regarding requirements and
permission to register.
396 - Internship/On-campus (4 credits)
397 - Internship/Off-campus (2 credits)
398 - Internship/On-campus (2 credits)
399 - Internship/Off-campus (4 credits)
A work or service-based learning experience at the junior/senior level in which a student, faculty member, and site
supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities
inherent in the placement. For some majors, participation in a concurrent seminar may be expected. Prior to the
beginning of the term/registration, interested students must consult with the departmental internship coordinator or a
67
faculty member and the Strommen Center regarding requirements and permission to register. (Off-campus 397/399
internships are one option for the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement.)
Directed and Independent Studies
299 - Directed Study (4 credits)
An opportunity to study topics not covered in the scheduled offerings under the direction of an instructor. Approval
must be secured in writing from the instructor and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is
undertaken.
498 - Independent Study/Research (2 credits)
499 - Independent Study/Research (4 credits)
An opportunity for advanced and specialized research projects. Approval must be secured in writing from the instructor
and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is undertaken.
Academic Calendar
All Augsburg programs follow the semester calendar with semester lengths from 14-16 weeks. Augsburg offers a
summer semester which follows the same format as both fall and spring semester.
In Augsburg’s Day Program full-time students normally take 16 credits per semester. The Day Program calendar is
coordinated with those of the four other colleges of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC), so that students
can take a course on another campus during fall or spring semester.
Weekend and Evening College (WEC) classes typically meet on alternate weekends. Some classes may meet weekly on
weekday evenings. There are seven to eight face to face class sessions supplemented by online instruction each
semester, and classes meet on weekends for 3.5 to 4 hours. Students may take up to 18 credits per semester.
Rochester campus classes are held on weekday evenings and meet alternate weeks. There are seven to eight class
sessions supplemented by online instruction each semester with each class meeting for 3.5 to 4 hours. Students may
take up to 18 credits per semester.
Courses and majors offered through Weekend and Evening College and on the Rochester campus are equivalent to their
Day Program counterparts. However, the curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts courses and majors.
Class Schedule
In general, courses are offered in both fall and spring semesters unless otherwise indicated.
Since some courses are offered alternate years, it is important that the student review major requirements and course
offerings with an advisor to ensure that all requirements can be met.
Note: Not all courses are offered in all schedules. Refer to AugNet Records and Registration for information on when
specific courses are offered.
Credits
Augsburg’s credit hour policy follows the federal guidelines in defining a semester credit hour as one fifty-minute period
of instruction and 100 minutes of out-of-class work per week for fifteen weeks, or the equivalent amount of student
work completed over a different time frame or via a different delivery method.
Numbering
Courses numbered 100 -299 are classified as lower division. 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.
68
Prerequisites
Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are listed in the online course description search 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. Effective Writing (ENL111) and math placement prerequisites cannot be waived by the
instructor. Students may be dropped from a course if they do not earn a satisfactory grade in the prerequisite for that
course.
Divisions and Departments
The College curriculum is offered by 26 departments that are grouped into three divisions for administrative and

Art
Art is essential. It teaches us to see, claim beauty, make sense of pain, explore the world, and express ourselves.
At Augsburg College, inspiration and creativity grow from the diversity of ideas of a small campus in the heart of a major
metropolitan area. A solid foundation of drawing, design, and history is balanced with the development of technical
skills, critical thinking, and creative exploration in a range of media. On-campus galleries showcase the work of students
and professional artists. Small class sizes and an innovative faculty support creative curriculum in disciplines like
drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, photography, hand papermaking, book arts, architecture, and
digital media. 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 nearly 1,000 students a year from
all disciplines, and we graduate 25-30 majors annually with Bachelor of Arts degrees in art history, studio art, and art
education; we also offer an architecture minor and certificates in studio art and digital design.
For nearly half a century, students have been earning degrees in art and art history at Augsburg College. We’re excited
to be here in the center of the city. We think you will be, too.

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

Accounting
Accountants perform an important function in society by providing high-quality financial information. Augsburg
Accounting majors learn the requisite skills to do this through the study of theories and practices associated with the
areas of financial accounting, managerial accounting, tax accounting, and auditing. In addition, Accounting majors take
courses in other business areas necessary so that they have a broad understanding of how accounting serves the needs
of business managers and others who rely on accounting information.
Students completing the Accounting major will be prepared for entry-level positions as auditors and public accountants,
management accountants, tax accountants, and internal auditors. Their education will give them knowledge and skills to
work as accountants in business, government, and nonprofit organizations and to work in other positions requiring
engagement with financial information.
The Augsburg Accounting major also provides students with the accounting and business coursework required to take
the Uniform Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam. Students can sit for the CPA exam after they have completed their
Bachelor of Arts in Accounting. Students should note, however, that in order to be licensed as a CPA they must have
completed a total of 150 credit hours in either undergraduate or graduate coursework and have one year of relevant
work experience in auditing or taxation. Students will also have met the coursework requirements to take the Certified

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

Economics
The Department of Economics offers a program that stresses a strong theoretical background, quantitative analysis, and
an emphasis on national and international issues. Students who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to
continue their education in a variety of fields or to work successfully in business and government because of the strong
liberal arts emphasis within the major.
The department offers six majors: Economics, Applied Economics, Mathematical Economics, Business and Economics,
Computational Economics, and Economics and Political Science (Education majors only).
The Economics major and the Applied Economics majors lead to careers in the business world or government. The
Mathematical Economics major is designed for students who intend to attend graduate school in economics or another
quantitative field such as finance or operations research. It is also designed to serve students to work in quantitative
fields immediately upon graduation, e.g., research analysts or actuaries. Computational Economics provides a liberal arts
entry into the field of computer science. The combined Economics/Business Administration major allows students great
flexibility in order to explore both fields. Finally, the teaching major in Political Science/Economics allows secondary
education licensure students to obtain a solid background for teaching economics.
The study of economics provides a firm foundation for confronting change because it presents a disciplined way to
analyze and make choices. An Economics major prepares students for community leadership and leads to a great
diversity of career opportunities including law, teaching, journalism, and private and public international service. Pre-law
and potential Master of Business Administration students are especially encouraged to consider Economics as a major or
a minor.
Students are able to combine an Economics major with other disciplines such as Business Administration, International
Relations, Mathematics, Management Information Systems, Political Science, History, and area study programs.
Students who are interested in any type of quantitatively-oriented graduate program in economics or in business are
encouraged to either major or minor in Mathematics. These students should also take courses in Computer Science.
Consult an advisor for specific course suggestions.
For the Economics and Applied Economics majors, the capstone experience is ECO 490 - Research Methods in
Econometrics. Students in other majors should consult their advisor for alternatives. Internships are recommended.
Students must consult with the department chair and the Strommen Center before registering for an internship for
academic credit.
Note: Transfer students must complete at least three upper division economics courses for a major and two for a minor.
Transfer classes must have been completed in the last 10 years with at least a 2.0 grade.

Education
The Department of Education maintains liberal arts-based teacher education programs that are accredited by the
Minnesota Board of Teaching and National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). These programs lead
to recommendation for licensure to the State of Minnesota for:
•
•
•
•
Elementary (grades K-6);
Secondary—grades 5-12 in communication arts/literature, health, mathematics, and social studies; grades 9-12 in
life science, chemistry, and physics;
K-12 licenses in visual arts, physical education, music, English as a Second Language (ESL) and the NEW special
education: Academic Behavioral Strategist (ABS) license. (Note the ESL and ABS programs are available in WEC
program only)
Optional endorsements for a K-6 elementary license include preprimary (ages 3-5), mathematics (grades 5-8),
general science (grades 5-8), social studies (grades 5-8), or communication arts/literature (grades 5-8).
Program availability
Degree and/or licensure programs are available in both the Day and WEC programs. WEC degree and licensure programs
are limited to elementary, secondary communication arts/literature and social studies, and K-12 visual arts, ESL and ABS.
Additional licensure programs are available through the Day program and open to WEC students who can take courses
on a weekday schedule. All prerequisite courses, elementary core courses, and professional education courses are
available on a weekend or weekday late afternoon/evening schedule. P-12 field service requirements associated with
courses and student teaching must be completed during regular P-12 school hours. All students must have some time
available each term for field service in P-12 educational settings.
Graduate Master of Arts in Education
A graduate level licensure option is available in the WEC program to those already holding a BA/BS degree. Graduate
courses taken for licensure can be applied to a Master of Arts degree in Education (MAE).
Licensure only
Students who have completed a BA/BS degree may complete a licensure only program within the day or WEC
undergraduate program. Contact the Education Department or the Office of Admissions for information.
Program Overview
Students in all degree and/or licensure programs must apply for acceptance into the Education Department prior to
beginning most 300-400 level courses. (EDC 310 may be taken prior to admission). All students are required to take the
Minnesota Teacher License Exam (MTLE) in basic skills—reading, writing, and mathematics—prior to admission to the
department and must pass the MTLE basics skills tests before student teaching. Additional criteria for acceptance into
the Education Department are available through the department website. Students complete a semester of full-time
student teaching at the conclusion of their degree and/or licensure. State law requires passing appropriate exams
(MTLE, pedagogy, and content exams) prior to recommendation for licensure. Students who entered Augsburg College
under earlier catalogs must comply with the requirements of the new licensure programs.
The Education Department offers non-licensure majors in Elementary Education and Education Studies. Contact the
department for details. The department also offers a Special Education minor which is described at the end of this
section.
Students are assigned an Education Department program advisor upon request or at the outset of EDU coursework. All
students are expected to become knowledgeable about programs and follow through with department policies.
Handbooks outlining programs and policies are available through the Education Department and website.
Student Teaching Abroad
Selected Education Department students may participate in an international student teaching program. Those interested
in further information should contact the Education Department at least one year prior to student teaching. Students
113
who teach abroad will do part of their student teaching in the Twin Cities area under direct Augsburg faculty
supervision.

Engineering
Augsburg College has cooperative arrangements with two universities to allow students to earn a Bachelor of Arts
degree from Augsburg College and an Engineering degree from either the University of Minnesota College of Science
and Engineering, Minneapolis, or Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan. Because of the special
requirements and opportunities of these programs, early consultation with the Augsburg Engineering advisor is
necessary. Applications for these programs require the recommendation of the Augsburg Engineering advisor.
Contact Jeff Johnson, Physics Department, johnson9@augsburg.edu or 612-330-1070.
University of Minnesota
The College of Science and Engineering and Augsburg cooperative arrangement provides for two dual degree
engineering programs:
Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Engineering (BA/BE)
This program enables students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Bachelor of Engineering
degree from the University of Minnesota. The program typically involves three years at Augsburg and two years at the
College of Science and Engineering.
Students may apply for the program after completing the sophomore year. At that time, they will be informed of their
status in the program and any further conditions necessary for final acceptance into the program. Formal application to
the College of Science and Engineering may be completed during the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg.
Bachelor of Arts/Master of Engineering (BA/ME)
This program enables students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Master of Engineering
degree from the University of Minnesota. This program involves four years at Augsburg and, typically, two years at the
College of Science and Engineering.
The curriculum is the same as the BA/BE curriculum with the addition of several extra courses that are completed at
Augsburg during the senior year to minimize the number of undergraduate courses, if any, that students must take at
the university before proceeding through the graduate curriculum. The number of such courses varies by IT department
and area of emphasis within a department.
Application for admission into the BA/ME program should be initiated during the second semester of the junior year at
Augsburg. Formal application for the program may be completed during the senior year. Those admitted will receive
special counseling from the College of Science and Engineering staff regarding courses that should be taken during the
senior year at Augsburg. Participants in the BA/ME program are not guaranteed admission to the College of Science and
Engineering.
Michigan Technological University
This program enables students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg and a Bachelor of Engineering degree
from Michigan Technological University in a five-year period.
The first three years are spent at Augsburg followed by two years at the affiliated university. Students accepted into the
program will be considered for admission to the engineering school if they complete course requirements, have the
requisite cumulative grade point average, and are recommended by the Engineering advisor of Augsburg College.
Students are also encouraged to explore opportunities for graduate work at Michigan Technological University. Further
information on these and other graduate programs is available from the Augsburg Engineering advisor.
Financial Aid
Students receiving financial aid who are participants in these dual degree programs will be encouraged to apply to the
engineering school of their choice for continuing support. Their applications will be evaluated using need and academic
performance as criteria.
124
Degree and Major Requirements
Minimum course requirements for admission to the dual degree or three-two programs:
CHM 115 - General Chemistry I
CHM 116 - General Chemistry II
CSC 170 - Introduction to Programming
ENL 111 - Effective Writing
PHY 121 - General Physics I
PHY 122 - General Physics II
Four mathematics courses are required:
MAT 145 - Calculus I
MAT 146 - Calculus II
MAT 245 - Calculus III
MAT 369 - Modeling and Differential Equations
or PHY 327 - Special Functions of Mathematical Physics
Additional courses to meet general education requirements and a total of 24 courses at Augsburg.

English
Through the study of English we witness life’s complexity, experience life as others do, and thus better understand the
world in which we live and work. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence and allows us to
frame human events within diverse world views. Those who study English typically believe that an intense concern for
words, ideas, and images helps people understand who they are and who they can become. At the same time, the
English Department’s emphasis on writing helps our students to clarify and share their thoughts.
English relates closely to other majors. Like the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from
artistic creation and with the contemplation of works of art. Like psychology and sociology, English is concerned with
individual and group behavior. Like philosophy, English is interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning and
language. Like science, English is interested in discovering order and determining structures. Like speech and
communication, English studies the effective use of language. Like history and the other social sciences and humanities,
English studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and in various cultures.
Augsburg’s English Department integrates its programs with cultural opportunities available in this vital urban area.
Plays, films, and readings are available near the campus, often within walking distance. English majors also have
opportunities to use and refine their skills by working in internships on and off campus, tutoring English Language
Learner (ELL) students, or tutoring in the writing lab.
Students who complete an Augsburg English major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education,
journalism, government, law, the ministry, library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing,
and other professions and businesses.

Degree and Major Requirements
Choosing a Concentration
Students majoring in English have the opportunity to choose one of four concentrations: literature, language, and
theory; media writing; creative writing; and secondary licensure in communication arts/literature.
While some of our courses explicitly address theoretical approaches to literature, especially those that examine race,
class, and gender, all of our courses infuse these concerns in their engagement with primary works of fiction, poetry,
creative nonfiction, film, and drama. All literature classes involve students in multiple forms of literary examination and
are taught by professors who love teaching and who love literature. Our classes develop and demand the skills of
aesthetic receptivity, perceptive and critical reading, open and clear speaking, and analytical and engaging writing—skills
of the educated and employable citizen.
English Major with a Literature, Language, and Theory Concentration
The Literature, Language, and Theory concentration provides students various approaches to the study of the written
word and visual text. Spotlight courses focus on specific authors, genres, or themes, and enable the discovery of new
literary experiences. Courses in African American, Native American, Asian American, and postcolonial literatures
reconfigure the nature of traditional literary studies. Survey courses in English, American, and world literatures are
organized by historical periods and provide a classically structured framework of study. Courses in literary theory
demand the intense and intellectually challenging engagement of text, culture, and self. The Literature, Language, and
Theory concentration offers courses of study cross-listed with American Indian Studies, Art, Communication Studies,
Film, Theater Arts, and Women’s Studies.
This concentration requires nine courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 including:
ENL 220 - Intermediate Expository Writing
or ENL 221 - Intermediate Expository Writing About the Arts
126
At least two 200-level literature courses as prerequisites for upper division courses in English. No more than two 200level literature courses may count for the major.
At least five 300-level courses, with one each in British literature, American literature, and world literature.
At least one 400-level course. Any 300-level course serves as a prerequisite for the 400-level.

Five courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 are required, including:
ENL 220 - Intermediate Expository Writing
or ENL 221 - Intermediate Expository Writing About the Arts
Four literature, language, and theory courses, three of which must be upper division courses.
English Major with a Creative Writing Concentration
The English Creative Writing concentration helps students develop professional writing skills by focusing their efforts in
the creative modes: poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, playwriting, and screenwriting. Over the course of the major,
students master terminology; engage the field’s aesthetic and ethical issues; and read and study the works of
established writers. The creative writing concentration expands competencies in observation, research, and analysis that
enable writers to gather and interpret material from a variety of sources and perspectives for their work; it attends
particularly to the artistic aspects of the writer’s craft, such as form, affect, and revision. English majors in Creative
Writing engage the interdisciplinary demands inherent in literary endeavors, including issues of design, and enhance
their appreciation of the aesthetic possibilities inherent in the writing life.
Creative Writing courses are taught by dedicated professors, who are themselves practicing writers. The writing
concentration offers courses of study cross-listed with Art, Communication Studies, and Theater Arts.
To complete this concentration students must take 10 courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112, including three
literature, language, and theory courses. At least one of these must be at the 300-level or higher.

Transfer Students
Note: Transfer undergraduate English majors must take at least three of their English courses at Augsburg. Transfer
students who minor in English must take at least two of their English courses at Augsburg.
Transfer English education students with a BA in English from another college must take at least three of their English
courses at Augsburg (preferably upper division courses). These courses must be taken before the department can
recommend a student for student teaching.
The English Placement Test
A writing sample is required of students to determine their placement in an appropriate writing class. Students having
completed AP (Advanced Placement) courses in composition must have a score of 4 or 5. Students who need to develop
competence in composition skills—such as stating and supporting a thesis, organizing clearly, and constructing
paragraphs and sentences—are required to enroll in Developmental Writing (ENL 101) where they receive more
individual instruction than is possible in Effective Writing (ENL 111). These students must pass Developmental Writing
(ENL 101) with a grade of P, 2.0, or higher before enrolling in Effective Writing (ENL 111).
Note: Students should register for ENL 101 during the first semester of attendance if possible. ENL 111, 112, or HON 111
should be completed, if possible, during the first year.
Students in Developmental Writing (ENL 101), Effective Writing (ENL 111), HON 111, or ENL 112 can elect the traditional
grading system or P/N grading in consultation with their instructor up through the last week of class (without special
permission/petition). Students who choose to receive a traditional grade in either course will receive a grade of N (one
time only) if their work is below a 2.0. A student who repeats ENL 101 or 111 and does not receive a grade of 2.0 or
higher will receive a grade of 0.0.
Service ŽƵƌƐĞƐ
The department offers these service courses for students as required by a placement test.
Note: First day attendance in all writing courses is mandatory for a student to hold his/her place in the course.
Literature, Language, and Theory Courses
The 200-level courses in the literature, language, and theory track of the English major develop foundational
competencies in reading and interpreting literary texts, and provide opportunities for diverse literary discovery. These
courses require ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 as a prerequisite or co-requisite.
Spotlight Courses
Offered alternating terms. Content for each will vary by term—check online course descriptions.
Upper Level Courses
The 300-level courses in the literature track in English concentrate on primary texts in historical and cultural contexts.
These courses ask students to practice interpreting literary texts by employing techniques, terminology, and research
methods of the discipline, resulting in effective and substantive expository writing about the subject. Unless otherwise
indicated, students must take ENL 220 or 221 (see writing courses), or one 200-level literature, language, or theory
course, or gain consent of the instructor as a prerequisite.
The 400-level literature, language, and theory courses emphasize scholarship, criticism, and theory, and ask students to
write and speak professionally about literary texts. Any 300-level literature course or consent of the instructor serve as a
prerequisite for the 400-level. One 400-level course must fulfill the keystone requirement.
Writing Courses
Note: First day attendance in all writing courses is mandatory for a student to hold his/her place in the course.

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

History
History is to society what memory is to an individual; it brings to a civilization an understanding of its identity. The
distinguished medievalist J.R. Strayer expressed it this way: “No community can survive and no institution can function
without constant reference to past experience. We are ruled by precedents fully as much as by laws, which is to say that
we are ruled by the collective memory of the past. It is the memory of common experiences that makes scattered
individuals into a community.”
The study of history enables us to deal more knowledgeably with continuity and change in society. The construction of
an informed sense of our past is a fundamental ingredient in appreciating and understanding the present as well as
anticipating the future. History majors are prepared to be active and contributing members of their society. The study of
history, which has long held a major role in the liberal arts, is an entry to elementary and secondary education, graduate
study in many fields, and a wide range of employment opportunities that require abilities in communication,
conceptualization, and processing of information.
History Faculty
Michael Lansing (Chair), Phillip C. Adamo, Jacqueline deVries, Bill Green, Don Gustafson

Honors Program
The Augsburg Honors Program offers an adventurous education where students with a passion for ideas can be their
best. We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education.
Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike any other honors program in the nation because it gives students the resources
and freedom to build their own ideal higher education. Students have the opportunity to create their own courses, edit
and write for the Honors Review of Undergraduate Scholarship, participate in an intramural debate league, belong to an
Honors House, and learn through small reading groups, research projects, and travel around the world.
Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students and includes a challenging “signature experience”
such as writing a play, putting great books on trial, or attending music, theater, and art performances. Honors courses
bring in professors from several different departments so students can learn from talented professors teaching their
specialties.
For information, contact Robert C. Groven, Honors Program director, at honors@augsburg.edu.
Honors Program Recognition
Students who complete the Honors Program requirements satisfy all general education requirements, except those for
physical education and modern language.
Honors students also receive special transcript notation, special graduation recognition, résumé-building positions, and
special access to academic advising and career options.
Honors Admission Requirements and Academic Scholarships
Students with a demonstrated record of achievement are eligible to enter the Augsburg Honors Program. Prospective
students may demonstrate achievement in a variety of ways. Most students who are admitted have a composite ACT
score of 27 or higher (or a combined SAT score of 1250 or higher), and a high school GPA of 3.50 or higher. However,
students without these numeric requirements may be eligible if they have exceptional records of extracurricular activity
or other exceptional experiences. All students are encouraged to apply. To apply, students should fill out the online
application at www.augsburg/honors.edu.
Students applying for the Honors Program also automatically apply for the College’s highest academic scholarships: the
President’s, Honors Regents’, International President’s, and Hanwick/Agre Scholarships.
Qualifying Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, College in the Schools, and Postsecondary Option courses
may satisfy Honors Program requirements, and/or be granted College credit. Contact Academic Advising or the Honors
program director for further information.
Students may enter the Honors Program at three points: first semester of first year, second semester of first year, or
first semester of sophomore year. Students who enter during the second semester of the first year must fulfill all
remaining Honors requirements, may substitute REL 100 for HON 100, and may be excused from taking HON 120.
Students who enter the first semester of the sophomore year must fulfill remaining Honors requirements, and may
substitute REL 100 for HON 100, may substitute two non-Honors humanities liberal arts foundation courses for HON
130, may substitute ENL 111 for HON 111, and may be excused from taking HON 120.
Scholars Program for Advanced Transfer Students
Students with more than 64 credits in transfer work may enter the Scholars Program but may not enter the Honors
Program. The Scholars Program allows students to enroll in Honors courses, join an Honors House, and participate in all
Honors Program activities. In order to graduate with the Scholars Program transcript designation, students must join an
Honors House and participate in required meetings, maintain an overall GPA of 3.50 or higher, and take HON 340, HON
490, and two other full-credit Honors courses.
140
Honors Co-Curricular Activities
Honors Houses
All Honors students must belong to an Honors House for the purpose of receiving academic advising and program
information. All Honors students are required to attend mandatory meetings of the Honors Program or of their houses.
These meetings are necessary for advising, information, and governance. When students enter the Honors Program they
choose to join one of the four Honors Houses:
•
•
•
•
The Crockett Scholars House coordinates scholarship, research, fellowship, major award or prize opportunities, and
graduate school placement for all Honors students. Crockett House also organizes events related to scholarship,
such as College scholarship events.
The Pike Stewards House coordinates public relations, job placement, and fundraising opportunities for all Honors
students. Pike House also organizes events for alumni and fundraising.
The Griffin Citizens House coordinates recruiting, social activities, admission and scholarship applications, and the
Honors website opportunities for all Honors students. Griffin House also organizes events for recruiting and
socializing, such as banquets, parties, and high school recruiting trips.
The Hesser Servants House coordinates service-learning, social justice, experiential learning, and political activity
opportunities for all Honors students. Hesser House also organizes related events, such as Honors service days and
Augsburg experiences.
Augsburg Honors Review
Students manage, edit, write, and publish an interdisciplinary journal of undergraduate scholarship. The Review accepts
submissions from students at Augsburg and other colleges and universities around the nation.
Student Leadership Opportunities
Students elected to leadership within their Honors House may serve as house presidents or serve in other program
leadership positions. The house presidents sit on the Honors Student Presidents Council and make critical decisions
about program courses and resources.
Student-Created Learning Experiences (SCLE)
Honors students may learn through established courses or through student-created learning experiences. These
student-created experiences may substitute for Honors curricular requirements, or may simply enrich a student’s
education. Such student-created experiences may count toward requirements in majors and satisfy Honors
requirements, or simply be an elective course.
Student-created learning experiences may take almost any form. Some possible forms include:
•
•
•
•
•
Student-created courses (created in collaboration with faculty)
Full course (10-20 students)
Reading Groups (2-9 students)
Individual Reading and Examination (individual study)
Student/Faculty Research (may be one or many students)
Process: A student-created learning experience may be proposed by any Honors student or by any Augsburg faculty or
staff person. The interested student should speak with either an Honors Council member or the Honors Program
director. Next, a proposal should be drafted in accord with the Honors student-created learning experience form. Finally,
the proposal should be submitted by the student to the Honors Program director who will carry the proposal to the
Honors Council for review.

International Relations
International Relations is an interdisciplinary major which provides students with the basis for informed global
citizenship, preparing them for graduate study or careers in foreign service, nonprofit organizations, or international
business. The student may focus on a discipline or geographic area of the world. The program consists of a core of seven
courses and six electives chosen from a wide list of offerings at Augsburg and other colleges. Students are encouraged to
consider foreign study opportunities; most of our majors do study abroad at some point during their time at Augsburg.
Competency in one foreign language is required, and some students study two languages. All majors complete a
significant senior research project and thesis on a topic of their own choosing, such as immigration, conflict resolution,
economic development, or climate change.
The goal of the program is to give students a broad exposure to international studies with considerable freedom to
choose options for specialization. Students often combine this major with a second major in History, Political Science,
International Business, or a foreign language. Numerous combinations of majors and minors are possible with the
international relations major.

Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies
The Department of Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies at Augsburg College contributes in many ways to realizing the
College’s mission of providing liberal arts education for service in today’s world. The department is committed to the
view that education should go beyond career preparation and that familiarity with the language and culture of another
people is an essential step in the development of a truly global perspective.
The department offers language, literature, and culture courses leading to majors in French, German, Norwegian, and
Spanish, as well as an interdisciplinary major in Cross-Cultural Studies. Introductory courses in Ojibwe, Farsi, and
American Sign Language are offered at Augsburg, and courses in Chinese, Japanese, Latin, and Greek are available to
Augsburg students through the five-college Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) consortium.
Knowledge of several languages, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, is essential in preparing for careers in
second-language education and translation, but also represents a valuable special qualification in many other
professions. Students anticipating careers in international business, law, social work, the diplomatic corps, the health
professions, or the ministry may wish to take a second major or minor in languages. In addition, a minor in languages is a
valuable research tool for those intending to pursue graduate study in most academic disciplines.

152
Mathematics
Mathematics is the study of structure and relationships and provides tools for solving a wide variety of problems.
Mathematical language describes our world from the perspectives of the natural, physical, and social sciences. Engaging
in mathematical thinking helps strengthen the problem solving and quantitative reasoning skills that are increasingly
expected of every member of contemporary society. Moreover, as mathematics has had a formative impact on the
development of civilization, it is an important part of a liberal arts education.
Students majoring in Mathematics acquire the skills necessary to serve society through a variety of careers. In addition
to acquiring computational and problem solving skills, Mathematics majors at Augsburg develop their abilities to reason
abstractly; to conjecture, critique, and justify their assertions; to formulate questions; to investigate open-ended
problems; to read and comprehend precise mathematical writing; to speak and write about mathematical ideas; and to
experience working in teams on mathematical projects. Students can prepare for graduate school, for work in business,
industry, or nonprofit organizations, or for teaching mathematics in grades K-12. Students majoring in many disciplines
find it helpful to acquire a minor or a second major in Mathematics.
Students may choose coursework supporting the study of Mathematics as a liberal art (through the BA degree) or
choose a more focused program of courses (through the BS degree). BS focus areas include theoretical mathematics,
statistics, teaching mathematics, and the application of mathematics to science and engineering, actuarial science,
computing, business, or economics. Augsburg’s urban location allows students to gain experience working with
mathematics through internships, service learning, and the colloquium course.

Medieval Studies
The objective of Medieval Studies is to introduce students to the culture of the Middle Ages—its diverse history and
beliefs, its arts and literature—and to the disciplinary and interdisciplinary skills necessary for its serious study.
The major in Medieval Studies fulfills the original (medieval) ideal of a liberal arts education. Since the study of the
liberal arts was developed in the Middle Ages, students majoring in Medieval Studies find a model context for the
pursuit of a liberal arts degree in the modern world.
As was the case in medieval universities, Augsburg’s major in Medieval Studies prepares students for life beyond college.
Because of its emphasis on precise reading and analysis of texts, careful writing, and spirited discussion, the major in
Medieval Studies offers a solid foundation for graduate or professional study, as well as employment opportunities that
require abilities in communication, critical and abstract thinking, and processing information.

158
Metro‐Urban Studies
Metro‐Urban Studies is the study of cities as social, political, economic, and cultural entities. Metro‐Urban Studies brings
many different perspectives to the study of urban life. It is an interdisciplinary major where students use the tools of
sociology, political science, history, environmental studies, and architecture to understand metropolitan areas in terms
of complex relationships that contribute to both opportunities and challenges. The major is designed to utilize the city as
our classroom, demonstrating the interplay of theory, policy, and lived experience. Coursework often includes walking
tours, field trips, and field research. Augsburg College’s Metro‐Urban Studies program emphasizes the theme of
planning metro areas to be more environmentally sustainable and promotes the health and civic engagement of citizens.
The Metro‐Urban Studies major helps prepare students for careers and graduate work in urban planning, public
administration, environmental studies, government, community organizing, social welfare and non‐profit work, and
architecture. All students participate in internships that reflect their career interests as part of the keystone experience.

Music
The Music Department at Augsburg College offers professional music training in the context of a liberal arts curriculum
through three degrees and five music majors. It also offers a variety of music courses and ensemble experiences that are
available to non-music majors, and meet Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements.
Augsburg’s location in the heart of a major artistic center makes it an ideal place to study music, and the Music faculty
seek and encourage opportunities that connect the campus and the greater arts communities. These opportunities allow
students to explore the links between theory and applied knowledge and may take many forms, including internships;
community performances; music therapy practica; community-based learning projects; required off-campus
performance and concert attendance assignments; or travel and study within and outside the United States.
The Music Department is an institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) and the
American Music Therapy Association (AMTA).

Degree and Major Requirements
Students intending to pursue a Music major in any of the three Music degree programs must declare their major,
perform a sophomore/transfer Music major jury qualifying jury, and complete the Music Department degree application
by the end of their fourth semester of study. More detail is included in the Music Department Student Handbook posted
on the Music Students site on Moodle.
Because of the heavy curricular demands inherent in any single Music Department degree program, students are
strongly encouraged to avoid declaring double majors entirely within the department, i.e. attempting two music degree
programs simultaneously. In those rare cases where such a scenario seems both warranted and feasible, students are
required to petition the department for acceptance of their proposed degree plan prior to formally declaring their
double majors.

Piano Proficiency
All Augsburg Music majors are required to have basic piano skills that meet the standard required by the Piano
Proficiency Test offered at the end of each semester. Students come to Augsburg with a wide variety of prior training
and experience in piano, and therefore can elect to develop their piano skills and prepare for the proficiency test in
several ways. Students with extensive training may be able to simply pass the test; those with some training may
register for private piano lessons; the majority of students are advised to take a piano placement test that determines
their appropriate placement within a sequence of four class piano courses (MUS 135/136/237/238) designed to teach
the skills of the piano proficiency test. To maximize student learning, it is strongly recommended that piano training is
started during the first year, when piano study will complement and strengthen the student’s experience in the music
theory and aural skills curriculum. Consult the Music Student Handbook for piano major and non-piano major
requirements and test dates.
Music Repertoire Tests
These four tests are intended to encourage students to become lifelong listeners by requiring students to familiarize
themselves with many of the masterpieces of the classical music repertory from the Middle Ages to today. Consult the
Music Student Handbook for the lists of pieces required by all four repertoire tests and the call numbers for the
repertoire test CDs at Lindell Library. Each academic year a specific repertoire test is offered twice: once at the end of
the fall semester, and again at the end of the spring semester. Music majors are required to pass three music repertoire
tests, transfer students must pass two, and Music minors must pass one.

Nursing
The Augsburg Department of Nursing is designed exclusively for registered nurses who want to advance their education
and increase their career opportunities, and to address changing health needs in a variety of rapidly changing care
settings. No longer do nurses practice only in hospitals. They are moving into communities, corporations, parishes, and
schools, as well as into their own private practices. Wherever they work, nurses are making a difference in community
health and well-being by providing comprehensive health care for diverse groups of persons across the life span.
The BSN program at Augsburg prepares nurses to synthesize knowledge from the liberal arts with the art and science of
nursing. Educational opportunities are provided that challenge students’ interests and engage their creativity as they
increase skills in critical thinking, community assessment, leadership, and decision-making. Classes that combine shortterm immersion models of study both at home and abroad are woven into the BSN curriculum, and students are invited
to participate in these exciting endeavors as they are able.
Augsburg’s BSN program is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Graduates of the
program are eligible to apply for a public health nurse registration certificate through the Minnesota State Board of
Nursing.

A minimum grade of 2.0 in each nursing course and a cumulative major GPA of 2.5 are required. Students also must
complete Augsburg’s residence and general education requirements.
Graduation Skills
The Critical Thinking (CT), Quantitative Reasoning (QR), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) graduation skills are embedded
throughout the required courses in the Nursing major and are met by completing the major.
Students petitioning to transfer in upper division nursing courses from another institution to meet requirements in the
nursing major at Augsburg must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill
each of these graduation skills.
Other Information
The program has been planned so that courses in the Nursing major can be completed over 16 months (full-time study,
two courses per semester); however, students may pursue their studies at a slower and more flexible pace.
Courses in the Nursing major are generally offered on weekday evenings with practicum courses (NUR 410 and 411)
requiring additional weekday time. More time may be required to complete the total course of study depending on the
number of liberal arts (general education) courses individual students need to complete the BSN degree and the number
of credits each student transfers to Augsburg College from other colleges or universities. Students in Nursing may take
172
non-nursing courses in both the Day and WEC program. Students interested in pursuing the Nursing major should
consult with BSN admissions staff in the Admissions Office for assistance applying.
Admission to the Nursing Major
In addition to meeting admission requirements for Augsburg College, admission to the Nursing major requires the
following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Completed application
Cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher in the basic nursing program
Unencumbered RN license–applicant must be a registered nurse who is licensed and currently registered to practice
in Minnesota prior to beginning the Nursing major
Evidence of HIPAA training
Up-to-date immunization records
Criminal background check (details provided in application process)
Special conditions:
•
•
Students may be provisionally admitted to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Augsburg due to a
cumulative GPA of less than 2.5 in their basic nursing program. Full admission to the program requires students to
achieve a GPA of 3.00 or better in two liberal arts courses at Augsburg.
Students may apply to Augsburg College prior to completion of their degree program provided all admission
requirements are met prior to enrolling at Augsburg.
Credit for Previous Nursing Courses
Registered nurses (RNs) transferring into Augsburg College’s BSN completion program will be granted 28 semester
credits in recognition of their previous lower division nursing coursework if the following standards are met:
•
•
Prior nursing education in the United States is taken in an associate degree in nursing (ADN) program or a diploma in
nursing program. Both must be state board-approved programs.
Nursing coursework taken outside of the United States is submitted for evaluation to the World Education Services
(WES), an agency approved by Augsburg College to evaluate foreign transcripts. Reports should be sent directly to
Augsburg College. In addition, nursing coursework must be verified for authenticity by the Commission on Graduates
of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS). Applicants must request CGFNS (www.cgfns.org) to forward the educational
credentials report to the Minnesota State Board of Nursing. Once their credentials are verified, applicants must
apply for licensure and demonstrate successful passing of the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX).
Nurses who have previously submitted CGFNS credential verification in a state other than Minnesota, and who have
passed the NCLEX, will be considered for admission and must meet the same residency requirements expected of all
students.
Students who change their major and transfer out of the BS in Nursing completion program will lose the 28 semester
credit block grant and their transfer credit evaluation will be reassessed. The 28 semester credit block grant will be
applied toward a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing only.
Options for Completing the Degree
Augsburg recognizes that nurses have a variety of time schedules, personal responsibilities, and work demands that
must be taken into account in any decision to work toward a college degree. For this reason, Augsburg offers full- and
part-time sequential alternatives for pursuing a Nursing degree.
Courses at Augsburg are available evenings and weekends. Generally, Nursing classes meet on alternate weekday
evenings for four-hour time blocks. Online activities will occur between face-to-face class time. Clinical practicum
requirements usually occur on weekdays. Optional immersion courses and practicums at home and abroad are
scheduled throughout the year. Check with the Department of Nursing for details.
It is recommended that most liberal arts courses be taken before starting the Nursing major. Nursing majors can
complete courses toward the bachelor’s degree at the Minneapolis and at the Rochester campuses.
173
Transfer of Upper Division Nursing Courses
BSN students who are provisionally accepted into the Master of Arts in Nursing program at Augsburg may enroll in up to
three designated MAN courses, which can be used to fulfill elective credits in the BSN program as well as fulfill credits in
the MAN program. Note that these graduate courses may not transfer into another college or university as graduate
courses if they have been used to complete the BSN; Augsburg College, however, accepts the courses as also fulfilling
requirements in the MAN. The three graduate Nursing courses plus a one-credit practicum include the following:
NUR 500 - Transcultural Health Care
NUR 500 - Practicum: Transcultural Health Care in the City or in Oaxaca, Mexico
NUR 532 - Transcultural Healing and Self Care
NUR 532 - Practicum: Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care
NUR 541 - The Politics of Health Care
NUR 541 - Practicum: Politics of Health Care in the City
(see current class schedule for practicum offerings)
Note: If NUR 411 is not taken immediately following NUR 410 or concurrently with NUR 411, students are required to
consult with faculty prior to registration regarding review of the theoretical content. Students who decelerate for more
than five years may be asked to audit courses already taken. There is a fee to audit courses.
Departmental Honors
Admission to the honors major requires a GPA of at least 3.60 in the major and 3.30 overall, application to the
department chair by November 1 of the senior year, recommendation by nursing faculty, and an honors thesis to be
presented before a faculty committee by April 15. Candidates register for NUR 499 to complete the honors requirement.
Latin Honors
To be eligible for Latin honors, a student must meet minimum GPA standards as well as complete a minimum of 14
traditionally-graded credits at Augsburg and have no more than two elective pass/no credit graded credits at Augsburg
(classes offered only as P/N by the department will not be counted, nor will N grades). For further information, see the
Latin Honors section in Academic Information.

Philosophy
Philosophy, in an important sense, is the most fundamental of the disciplines. All sciences and most other disciplines
arose out of it. Moreover, philosophy is concerned with asking and answering the “big” questions that are the most
basic. For example: Is there a God? Is there life after death? Are there absolute moral standards? What kind of life is the
best? What is knowledge and what are its sources?
Students learn to ask and answer these and other similar questions for themselves through the development and use of
critical reasoning, assisted by the study of philosophers from the past and present.
The Philosophy major has been carefully planned so that students can easily graduate with two majors. Some Philosophy
majors continue on to graduate school in philosophy, while others use the major to prepare for other professional
studies such as law, medicine, religious ministry, or journalism.

Major in Computational Philosophy
In addition to a major and minor in Philosophy, the Philosophy department also offers a cross-disciplinary major in
conjunction with the Computer Science department emphasizing areas of interest in which philosophy and computer
science overlap: logic, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language. The
purpose of the major is to augment the technical skills of a computer scientist with the creativity and liberal arts
perspective of a philosopher. The result is a degree that is very marketable in industry and that provides an excellent
logical and philosophical background for those wishing to pursue graduate study in philosophy. See Computer Science
for more information.
Departmental Honors
Admission to the Philosophy honors program is by recommendation of the Philosophy faculty. Such recommendations
will be made at the end of the junior year. The program will consist of an honors thesis on an approved topic of the
175
student’s choice that involves research above the course level, and a defense of this thesis before the faculty of the
department.

Physics
Physicists are a curious and ambitious lot. Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles that describe and
govern all physical aspects of the universe. Historically called “natural philosophers,” physicists investigate by means of
controlled experimentation and mathematical analysis. Physics includes the study of systems ranging from sub-atomic
particles to the largest galaxies and from the relative stillness of near absolute zero to the fiery activity of stars. Physics
plays an important role in many of the liberal arts disciplines and contributes to society’s understanding of such areas as
energy, weather, medical science, and space exploration. A good background in physics (and the associated problem
solving skills obtained therein) will prepare you well for a multitude of careers.
Recognizing the importance of physics in contemporary life and the need to keep abreast of rapid technological
advances, the department strives to give students not only an understanding of basic concepts, but also insights into
recent developments. A rigorous major provides students with the preparation required for graduate study in physics. It
also provides flexibility, serving as a stepping stone to advanced work in related areas such as astronomy, engineering,
materials science, atmospheric science and meteorology, oceanography, biophysics, environmental science, and the
medical and health-related fields. The department serves the liberal arts by offering courses for non-science students
that enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science. These courses provide the basis for
further study and enable students to follow new fdevelopments in science with heightened awareness and
comprehension.
The department supervises the pre-engineering program, with degree programs available at cooperating universities at
both the bachelor’s and advanced degree levels, and administers Augsburg College’s portion of funds designated for the
Minnesota Space Grant College Consortium, funded by NASA. It also maintains active research programs through its
Center for Atmospheric and Space Sciences and the Sverdrup Laboratory for Biophysics, with support from the National
Science Foundation, NASA, and other private and public sources. Several students work as research assistants in these
efforts during the academic year and in the summer. Cooperative education, internship, and undergraduate research
programs provide opportunities for students to apply their knowledge and problem-solving skills in practical situations in
industrial, governmental, and academic settings.

Political Science
Students studying Political Science at Augsburg College are provided with the intellectual tools for understanding and
taking effective action in regard to the pressing political issues of the day. The role and significance of authority and
power in human affairs establish the focus of political science. Augsburg Political Science students have the benefit of
experienced faculty who teach courses in all major areas of political science, and also possess special expertise in
campaigns and elections, immigration and ethnic politics, urban and environmental politics, economic development,
comparative and international politics, mass communications and other information technology, and American public
law. Grounded in the diverse and international community around our college, the department directly engages the
world and issues around us.
Political scientists use systematic inquiry and analysis to shed light on the dynamics of a whole range of phenomena,
including elections, wars, poverty, human rights, regime change, and migration. Our majors explore political ideas and
values, investigate political cooperation and conflict, analyze and compare political systems, and develop perspectives
on international relations. In the process, our students are 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 subfields of political science, the major supplies the breadth appropriate for graduate work in
political science, public administration, public policy analysis, law, and other professions. It also serves as a foundation
on which to develop careers in public service, business, communications, and other fields. Legislative and other
internships, as well as significant independent research projects, are within easy reach of 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.

Psychology
Psychology is an exploration of behavior and mental processes. As an integral part of a liberal arts education, psychology
contributes to the understanding of individual and group behavior. The study of psychology equips students to
understand and use the scientific method to think creatively and critically beyond the classroom. To prepare students
for graduate study and work in psychology, the major emphasizes the complementary components of a strong
foundation in research and theoretical work with the application of knowledge and skills in coursework, research
experiences, and internships within the community. The curriculum’s emphasis on the experiential dimensions of
learning and the integration of liberal arts and professional domains prepares students for careers in many settings
including business, education, social services, research, law, government, church, and medicine.
Faculty members in the Department of Psychology have varied professional specializations including clinical, counseling,
physiological, developmental, social, cognitive, and industrial/organizational psychology as well as expertise in
psychological applications to health, law, and public policy. Students may tap this expertise through a variety of learning
experiences including group and individual projects, Psi Chi Honor Society, and faculty-student research teams.

within the field of psychology, such as developmental, social, cognitive, neuropsychology, and clinical. Students in this
concentration will participate in at least three experiential learning venues: laboratory research, a community-based
internship, and study tours to Hennepin County courts. See the department chair for specific requirements.
Concentration in Social Psychology
Both the Sociology and Psychology Departments offer courses relevant to students with interests in social psychology.
The intent of the Social Psychology concentration is to provide students with a solid disciplinary foundation along with
specific coursework to strengthen a cross-disciplinary social psychological perspective. Coursework will emphasize
research skills, theoretical analysis, and applied work in areas intended to prepare students for careers in law,
consulting, research, and social policy, as well as many other areas. In addition, the Social Psychology concentration is
ideal for graduate school preparation. See the department chair for specific requirements.
Departmental Honors
GPA of 3.50 in the major and overall, and completion of a high-quality research project. Formal application must be
made during the junior year. Consult the department chair for more detailed requirements.

Religion, Youth and Family Ministry
In today’s complex world, issues and conflicts are increasingly influenced by deeply-held religious beliefs and values. The
study of religion at Augsburg College invites students on a search for meaning, challenging them to explore their own
religious beliefs and those of their neighbors, to gain a broader view of the role of faith in public life, and to better
understand our global context.
As an academic discipline, religion probes many of life’s critical questions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Who are we as human beings and where did we come from?
Why do bad things happen?
How can we live meaningful lives?
What happens after we die?
How do our values shape our choices?
What is our responsibility to others?
What texts are sacred and how should we read them?
How can we encourage cooperation and respect among people of different faiths?
Students begin their search for meaning in the Core Curriculum courses, REL 100, 200, or 300. Here they learn to
articulate their own beliefs and to understand that what they believe really matters. Students engage in a close reading
of the Bible and other sacred texts, study their historical contexts, and apply these insights to contemporary social
issues. They also explore their own gifts and how these might be used in service of the broader community as they
pursue a life of vocation. Students are invited to deepen their pursuit of these questions by choosing a major or minor in
Religion, which offers a wide range of courses in theology, biblical studies, and world religions.
As a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Augsburg faculty and staff are eager to engage in
dialogue with Christians from all denominations, with people who practice other faith traditions, and with those who
claim no particular beliefs. Faculty in the Religion Department represent several Christian denominations and model
respectful dialogue with students from a variety of faith perspectives. We challenge all of our students to respect and
learn from one another and to think critically about matters of faith and reason in our lives together.

Religion
A Religion major provides a strong foundation in the liberal arts and prepares students for professional work and
graduate studies in a wide range of fields. Since the major requires only eight courses, students are encouraged to
double-major in a related field. Students considering seminary should take two Bible courses and one course in theology
or church history. Students planning on graduate studies in religion ought to complete one Bible course, a world
religions course, and the Philosophy of Religion course. A Religion major also provides strong preparation for graduate
studies in theology, religious studies, sacred scripture, church history, and related fields. The major prepares students to
think critically, read analytically, write clearly, and speak confidently—skills that make our graduates attractive to
graduate schools.

ministry prepares persons for faithful work as youth and family ministers in Christian congregations and other ministry
settings. This major is interdisciplinary, combining a core study of theology, Bible, and ministry with supporting
coursework in the social sciences. A distinctive element of the major is the combination of practical and theological

Social Work
Professional social work is for students who have the desire to better the lives of people. Social work is for students who
want to learn the skills necessary for a successful and satisfying career for themselves and the lifelong benefit of working
with colleagues who also love their work. Our accredited program will immerse you in the skills and theories of social
work and interweave that body of knowledge with the liberal arts, psychology, sociology, economics, and political
science. The curriculum will prepare you for internships in human service agencies, schools, hospitals, community
centers, food shelves, women’s centers and a number of other settings in your junior and senior year. The BSW program
believes in social justice and teaches students how to engage the system to achieve it. The program addresses
multicultural awareness through a required course and also a special elective course on Intergroup Dialogue.
The generalist practice degree awarded will allow you to be successful in your chosen areas of social work practice and
prepared to work multicultural settings. Students graduating with a Social Work major receive a Bachelor of Science
degree in social work and are eligible to apply for licensure as a generalist social worker. Over ninety-five percent pass
the exam on the first try.
Students interested in a graduate degree in social work (MSW) are encouraged to apply to our Master of Social Work
program. The undergraduate degree provides transferable credits toward the foundation year of an MSW program,
reducing the number of credits needed. Both the undergraduate and graduate Social Work programs are accredited by
the Council on Social Work Education. For more information about the MSW program, consult the Graduate Catalog.

Social Work Study Abroad Opportunities
The Augsburg BSW program is a leader in international education for its students. All majors are encouraged to study
abroad at some point in their college career. Through The Center for Global Education the BSW program offers an
award-winning semester study abroad program in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Students in the spring semester of their junior
year go to Mexico to study social work and finish their degree on time. A similar option is offered for study in Norway.
The Social Work department also offers a rotating selection of faculty-led, short courses to foreign countries such as
China, Slovenian, South Africa and India.
Social Work Course Sequence
Social Work Entry Level Courses, SWK 280, and SWK 240
The Social Work major offers three ways to begin the BS degree: SWK 100 is for those students interested in the breath
of the profession; SWK 210 is for students whose focus is policy and advocacy; and SWK 230 is for students interested in
international social work and global issues. All three courses are equal as introductions to the major.
All three courses feature an experiential learning component. Students volunteer 40 hours in a human service agency,
program, or institution. The placement is selected by the student, approved by the course instructor, and supervised by
agency staff. These courses are also open to non-majors. The department also offers a course in human diversity, SWK
280, that is to be taken after the entry level courses.
A special elective course SWK 240: Intergroup Dialogue is offered for students who want a more direct interaction in
issues of diversity.
Social Work upper level courses (300s and 400s) are taught in a two-year sequence. Courses are taught once a year. The
senior keystone is SWK 417: Field Work 4: Integrative Seminar. Consult the BSW Program Manual for the degree courseschedule flowchart.
For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.
195
Sociology
Sociology is the scientific study of society and social interaction in groups. Our examination of human social organization
provides the opportunity to improve the world we have created and in which we live. The sociological perspective
provides an important way to critically understand how human beings come to think and act as they do in a variety of
social contexts.
The goal of the department is to guide students in gaining knowledge of social processes and the social order, how it
affects them in their daily lives, and how it can be applied to their lives and vocations. Sociology majors develop an
understanding of the theories of society and social groups, learn to create and use scientific tools of analysis, and
practice the application of sociological concepts to the solution of social problems.
The department urges students to use Augsburg’s metropolitan and international settings as a laboratory for learning.
Internships enable majors to apply the theories and research skills of sociology while they explore career alternatives.
Students also may take an independent study, special topics course, or field study toward that end.
The major in Sociology has equipped our alumni to understand and function more effectively in the social world as
professionals, citizens, and persons, providing the necessary knowledge base and analytical, writing, and critical thinking
skills. Augsburg alumni who have majored in Sociology are currently employed in the nonprofit sector, research
positions, human resources positions in both government and private corporations, criminal justice field, and as
professors of sociology. Others have used the major as preparation for advanced study in areas such as law, human
services, social work, urban planning, and the ministry.

Degree and Major Requirements
Sociology Major
Sociology has a long-standing tradition as an excellent undergraduate major that applies to a number of fields from
human services to criminal justice to business to public service. The foundation of the major at Augsburg is that it
provides a clearly organized curriculum that is challenging, develops over the course of the major, and integrates and
reinforces a challenging set of important skills; those skills include abstract thinking, writing, critical analysis, basic
research, integration of theory and data, and the connection of the individual and collective perspectives in the unique
way of the sociological imagination. The five core courses intentionally develop those skills in our students. The electives
allow students to choose courses that add other skills related to areas of career interest.
The major includes a total of 10 courses: five required core courses and five electives, at least three of which are upper
division courses from the specified list below:
Core courses:
SOC 121 - Introduction to Human Society
SOC 362 - Statistical Analysis
SOC 363 - Research Methods
SOC 485 - Sociological Theory
SOC 490 - Senior Seminar and Keystone
At least three of the following upper division courses (Prerequisite: SOC 121):
SOC 320 - Sociology of Law
SOC 349 - Sociology of Organizations
SOC 375 - Social Psychology
SOC 377 - Organizational Crime and Deviance
SOC 380 - Disaster and Resilience
SOC 381 - City and Regional Planning
SOC 387 - Juvenile Delinquency
196
SOC 390 - Social Problems Analysis
SOC 399 - Internship
Two additional sociology electives
Note: Majors must have a 2.0 or higher in each required course (SOC 121, 362, 363, 485, and 490) to receive credit in
the major.
Graduation Skills
The Critical Thinking (CT), Quantitative Reasoning (QR), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) graduation skills are embedded
throughout the offered courses and are met by completing the major.
Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements.
Interest Tracks
In order to focus preparation for careers and further study, the Department offers interest tracks within the major.
These interest tracks are: City and Community; Crime and Deviance; Law; Organizations; and Social Psychology. The
Interest Tracks guide majors in selecting elective courses in a way that tailors their sociological training, experiences and
skills. Working with an advisor and following the guidelines and recommendations provided at the links below, Sociology
majors can design a pathway through the major that directs them toward careers or graduate work in criminal justice,
law, organizational development, public relations, social services, and urban studies.
Students who are interested in pursuing an interest track should discuss this with their advisor or the Sociology
Department chair. A full description of each interest track may be found at the Sociology Department website,
www.augsburg.edu/sociology.
Teaching Licensure Major
The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the
Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog.
Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher
licensure requirements.
Departmental Honors
To complete departmental honors in Sociology, the student must have a minimum GPA of 3.50 in the major and overall.
See department chair and website for specific requirements. An application for departmental honors/graduation with
distinction must be completed by spring of the junior year.
Minor
Five courses including SOC 121 and at least two upper division courses taken at Augsburg College. Students are required
to have a 2.0 or higher in SOC 121 and at least a cumulative 2.00 GPA in courses counting toward the minor.
For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.
197
Theater Arts
Theater is an ever-changing field that is important to understand in cultural and societal context. In our courses,
productions, recitals, and artist series, the study of theater embraces both classical and new forms, examines global and
local perspectives, and encourages in-depth creative exploration. Students are challenged to deepen their critical
thinking abilities and to master professional skills while also exploring new approaches to theater through their studies
in design, directing, performing, and playwriting. Students thoughtfully interrogate issues of cultural representation and
diversity as they find and express their own creative visions. The program prepares them well to continue with their
education and/or become leaders in the field of theater and performance studies.
The study of theater is firmly grounded in the liberal arts, integrating knowledge and principles from many academic and
artistic disciplines, including literature, history, philosophy, religion, speech, art, music, and dance. Both the high quality
curriculum and dramatic productions of our department offer valuable cross-disciplinary connections for students and
the campus, while providing a solid base in classical, modern, contemporary, and multicultural theater. In order to
encourage non-majors to become involved in our department, we offer six theater arts minors and welcome all
Augsburg students to become involved in our productions.
Augsburg’s location in the heart of a nationally recognized theater community makes it an ideal place to study theater.
At Augsburg we seek to create every opportunity for students to grow both as theater artists and scholars by
encouraging connections between our campus and the greater arts community, while also exploring connections
between theory and application. Students have the opportunity to make these connections through course study,
theatrical production work, participation in the Artist Series (an annual series of events featuring visiting theater
professionals from the local community who work closely with students), and attendance at numerous professional
productions throughout the Twin Cities. Augsburg productions are a valuable opportunity for students to enter into
creative collaboration with faculty and professional artists-in-residence. We value and regard theater productions as a
critical and vital laboratory for student learning and training, and we hold our productions to the highest standards of
the profession.
Many of the skills acquired by Theater majors or minors are highly valuable and transferable to other professions:
collaboration, verbal and nonverbal communication, organization, critical thinking, leadership, creativity, and selfexpression. Involvement in theater arts can help prepare students for successful careers in law, education, business,
communication, journalism, and many other fields, as well as in professional or academic theater, television, or film.

experiences in various historical and cultural contexts. This is an inter-college program with course offerings at Augsburg
College, Hamline University, St. Catherine University, and the University of St. Thomas. Courses are drawn from many
disciplines and combine theoretical, practical, and research components that focus not only on gender, but also

program offers both a major and a minor, and provides students with academic preparation for careers in human
services, education, and social work as well as graduate study.

Requirements and Course Load
The interim is an integral part of the fall semester at Augsburg College.
The number of interims required for graduation is equal to one interim less
than the number of years of full-time enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a student
enrolled full-time for four years is required three interims; a student enrolled full-time for two years is required one interim. While a student is
not required to enroll in an interim, helshe pays tuition for an interim
during each year helshe is enrolled full-time at Augsburg. Tuition for the
interim is paid as a part of the fall tuition payment. A student may take
an interim in the major or outside the major. Each discipline may require
one interim of its majors, and each student may elect one additional interim
in the major. Beyond the two interims in the major each student will elect
interims outside the major.
One interim course is the limit of the student's academic load during the
one-month term.
June Interims
Each year an interim course will be offered for the following June term of
summer school. A student may enroll in a June interim course in lieu of
the January term. If helshe elects June rather than January, there will be
no additional tuition charge. Students planning the June interim in lieu
of January, however, must register for the June interim at the time of interim
registration in the fall. Students wishing to take the June interim in
addition to the January one will be required to pay regular one summer course
tuition.
Distribution Requirements and Grading
Each department at Augsburg offers at least one interim course that will
fulfill the distribution requirements for graduation. Each instructor determines the manner in which the interim will be graded. The grading is listed with each interim description: Traditional; PIN; Optional.
-.
-
#
n interim course should make the same time-demands upon the student as a
standard semester course. The'number and length of class meetings is not
rigidly fixed. Students, however, should plan for in-class participation
of about ten hours per week. In addition, there will be labs, field study,
travel, reading, reports, and papers.
On-Campus Classes and Off-Campus Classes
The following catalogue lists the interim courses available at Augsburg.
In addition to these courses, Augsburg students may enroll for their interim
at Hamline, Macalester, or St. Catherines in St. Paul, and at St. Olaf iq
Northfield, as well as any other 4-1-4 institution that offers a reciprocal
interim arrangement. Students planning an interim, other than the Take-Five
Colleges, need to clear their plans with the Interim Director. Should
students have questions about other campus interims and major requirements,
they should consult with the department chairman of their major. Should they
have questions about other campus interims and distribution requirements,
they should consult with the Registrar.
The ALC Joint Interim
The 1975 interim will bring together, for the third year, students from a
number of American Lutheran Church colleges for a joint learning and living
experience. The 1975 joint interim will focus on a common theme: "Community
Awareness: The Future is Now." Courses will be offered in Minneapolis, in
St. Paul, and in Omaha, Nebraska.
While arrangements have been made for joint housing, Augsburg College students
may enroll in a joint interim course without participating in the housing
arrangements.
Independent Study
Students may elect an independent study program for the interim. If they
plan such, they must meet the department's requirements for independent

Energy, Man, and the Environment
As you and those in your generation take over the running of the
world, what will it run on? Just food and air? Certainly those,
but what else? What are the world's sources of energy for your
generation and your children's generation? We'll study them in
this interim--fusion power; hydrogen; fission power; geothermal
energy; solar energy; petroleum fuels; coal; hydroelectric systems;
the tides; wind. And food, too. Food not only gives us energy
for living, it requires energy for growing--fuels for machines,
for making fertilizer, for pumping water. We'll look closely
at both the prospects of each fuel and the problems--strip mining;
air pollution; radioactive wastes; salination of soil; harm to
wildlife and people; oil blackmail.
The intent is that you become informed to the point where you know
something about these matters and can inform others; where you can
participate intelligently in making the moral choices that surely
will face you; where you know how to stay informed, how to find
information, how to keep up to date.
The level will be semi-technical. We may use one of the several
environmental science books now available as a basic text and then
exploit other books, articles and government publications. We'll
study many films--high quality color films. If the opportunity
arises--there's no way to know this early--we'll visit a nuclear
power plant. We'll meet about four times a week, about two hours
or so at a time, (depending on the film for the day.) W s course
assumes a knowledge of high school chemistry or the equivalent.

living and worshiping community as well. While at the monastery,
students will be expected to participate as fully as possible in
the discipline of the monastic community and will spend a part of
each day in class and part of the day working in agricultural and
social projects in the village. Also, conscious attention will be

World Order and Religion
The world appears to be in a state of crisis. What is necessary
to provide order? What kind of order would be best? Usually we
turn to political science or ecological sciences to find the answers
and principles of order. However, religions have also been ways in
which people have ordered their world. We will take that approach.
What are leading religious and theological concepts of order? What
does the religious map of the world look like today? What can religion
contribute to world order? What might the future be and how can we
work toward a desirable future with regard to religion and world
community? Reading, discussion, lecture, simulation games. Opportunity
for community life with students of other colleges, nations and
religions connected with the Joint Interim Program, "An International
Landscaping of the Future."

The Church and Social Change in Capitol City
In the constant flux of urban life with its population shifts,
housing blights, and new freeways, certain Twin City churches
(35 - 40 ALC churches among them) find themselves in a changing
situation. Such churches find it difficult to cope with the change
and to find meaningful ways of organizing to deal constructively with
the circumstances. The student class will explore by experience
and involvement on behalf of three churches in the inner stratum of
St. Paul. Such a class can help provide information for formulating
an approach. The three are in sight of the legislature, which
helps determine much life in the area. Some students will act as
legislative aides for the January session -- providing light and
shadow for what is being encountered in the area. (ALC Joint Interim)

HI!5TORICAL SKETCH
Augsburg was (begunas a seminary in I 869, at Marshall, Wisconsin. It was the first theological seminary started by Norwegian
Lutherans in America. Through an arrangement with a private
institution known as Marshall Academy the Seminary was housed
in the academy building. Students who needed further preparation in academic subjects were to obtain this in the academy. This.
arrangement failed t o work out satisfactorily; so the theological
group moved to a private dwelling, where classes continued until
1872. In the autumn of that year the Seminary was removed to
Minneapolis, Minnesota, where a building had been erected for its
use. In the same year the school was incorporated under the laws
of Minnesota. The aim of the institution was to train ministers
for the Lutheran congregations which were being organized in
growing numbers in the pioneer settlements that were spreading
rapidly over the Northwest.
The college was estabfished when it k a m e evident that in order
to get students who were adequately prepared for theologicar
study a college department was needed. So in 1874 a college curriculum was planned which provided for one year of preparatory
studies and four years of college work along two lines, a classical
course to prepare students for theology, and a scientific course to
prepare for the professions. The latter course, however, had to be
discontinued, partly for lack of funds and partly because too
few students selected the course. The first college students were
enrolled in 1874 and the first class was graduated in 1879;
In 1900 a high school course covering three years was established
which in 1910 was expanded to a standard four-year course. This
was discontinued in 193 3. In the years 1916-1919 the college
course was thoroughly revised. As a result of this and of subsequent growth, the earlier classical course was greatly modified and
supplemented by social and scientific studies and a more general
emphasis upon the- study of the humanities. In recent years there
has been continuous study and modification of the curriculum including the introduction of a number of new majors to meet the
developing needs of the students. The Divisional organization was
adopted in 1945. A t the present time majors are offered in 17 fields.
Coeducation was introduced in the College in 1921.
In the Theological Seminary there has likewise been a continuing-revision of the curriculum and the addition of new courses.
The requirement of a six-month period of internship was added
in 1939. Standards of admission have been raised so that a bachelor's degree or equivalent is now the required scholastic preparation. While the Theological Seminary has its own organization, the
Seminary and the College function in close cooperation Long
experience has proved this arrangement to be mutually wholesome
and stimulating.
Five presidents have served Augsburg during the course of its
history. The terms of o0ice of two of these cover a span of over
half a century. The first president was August Weenaas, who
served from 1869 to 1876. He was succeeded by Georg Sverdrup,
1876 to 1907. Sven Oftedal served from 1907 to 1911 and was
followed by George Sverdrup, whose term extended from 191I to
1937. H. N. Hendrickson served as Acting President from 1937
until I 9 3 8. Bernhard Christensen, the present president, has served
since that time.
FUNDAMENTAL AIMS
The educational purposes of Augsburg College and Theological
Seminary spring from the conviction that Christianity is the fundamental force for good in human life. All the aims of the College,
as well as those of the Seminary, are bound together by this principle. To express more distinctly the meaning of this, the following statement of aims has been formulated by the College faculty:
T o lead the student to a deeper understanding and personut
realization of the truth and power of the Christian Gospel, to
the end that he may become an effective participant in the
evangelical and missionary task of the Church and an earnest
advocate of the Christian way of life both for the individual and
for society.
T o familiarize the student with the culture of our own and
other ctvilizations, not only for the enjoyment this knowledge
affords but also for the development of a more sympathetic
understanding of our fellow men throughout the world.
T o develop the studenfs interest in the attainmmt of tbe
common purposes of our country, so that he may work for the
welfare of our institutions and for the preservation of our
liberties in community and nation, and also develop m enlightened interest and participation in human affairs throughout the rest of the world.
T o cultivate in the student a Christian social spirit, in order
that he may realize in his life a right balance between what he
expects of others and the service he will render his fellow men.
T o teach the student to discipline his o m urges, interests,
ambitions, and demands in a way that will effectively contribute toward the development of good character.
To train the student in scientijic methods of study and also
develop his understanding of the relations of science to the
welfare of humanity.
T o stimulate intellectual interest and develop scholarly insight, so that the student may learn to think with accuracy
and comprehension at the same time as he experiences an understanding of truth which will help him to integrate the iindings of science with the deepest spiritual reality.
T o awaken and foster k the student an iatelligent a m e ciation and enjoyment of the best in the fields of the fins arts.
T o guide the studmt in the understamding of social relatianshps in order that he may take his place in groups and gatherings with propriety and grace, motivated in his conversation
and conduct by the principles of Christian courtesy and sinceriay.
T o provide guidance for the studmt in the discovery and
clarification of his aptitudes and his life purposes so that as
early as possible he may plan his educational program wisely.
T o train studmts in v o c a t ~ Zand professjOno1 lines, giving full preparation for high school teaching, business administration, home economics, and parish work; furnishing partial
training towards the study of medicine, dentistry, nursing, engineering, law, and social service, and offering a four-year
college course preparing for the study of theology.
T o help the student develop certain skills, as in language,
music, physical activities, use of the library, laboratory work,
and typewriting, together with other skills, which will increase
his ef6ciency in the various relationships of life.
T o afford the student w h o l e s m recreational expenerrme
which
will contribute toward an effective use of leisure time and develop such qualities as leadership, sportsmanship, and self-control, with good recreational habits, thus providing a constant
source of social and personal satisfaction.
T o instruct the student in principles, ~ t t h d e s ,and ideas
pertaining t o health, and also to train him in practices and
skills which will promote his physical and mental well-being
and make him better fit to meet the responsibilities of life.
The work of the whole institution, both the Seminary and the
College, is done on the basis of Christianity. The students who
come are invited to take up their college work with the distinct
understanding that the Christian spirit is determining in all things.
They are asked to cooperate willingly in the program of the school
towards that end. The entire program of the school, curricular and
extra-curricular, and the discipline thought wise in order to make
possible the carrying out of this program, spring from the aim "to
see all.things through the eyes of Christ."
Enrollment in Augsburg College and Theological Seminary presupposes on the part of the student full cooperation in the ways
prescribed for the attainment of these aims.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND CONTROL
From I 870 to I 890, Augsbwg was supported by the NorwegianDanish Lutheran Conference. The merger of that church body
with two others, in r 890, r d t e d in the f i a t i o n of Augsburg
with the newly created United Nomegian Lutheran Church. Due
to Merences concerning the control of Augsburg a division arose,
and in 1897 congregations whose sympathies were deeply rooted in
Augsburg formed the Lutheran Free Church. The resulting close
association, in educational and spiritual activity, of Augsburg and
the Lutheran Free Church has been marked by complete harmony
of purpose and ideals for more than half a century.
The control exercised by the Lutheran Free Church is indirect.
The Annual Conference of the Church nominates the members
of the Augsburg Corporation and the Board of Trustees. The Corporation through the Board of Trustees exercises direct control
over property, hance, and personnel. Academic control is vested
in the President and the Faculty.
In addition to the income from student tuition and fees, which
has materially increased with the growth and development of the
College, the chief iinancial support of the institution comes from
the congregations of the Lutheran Free Church. In recent years a
growing circle of friends also outside the Lutheran Free Church,
both alumni and others, have contributed financially to the support of the school. Augsburg welcomes and invites such support on
the part of all who believe in her program of vital Christian education.

Student Personnel Services
ADMINISTRATION
Students entering college face many new situations and prablerns. Some problems disappear soon after enrollment but others
grow during the four years. In order to give the greatest help to
students in these circumstances, Augsburg College has developed
a number of student aids combined under the general title
of Student Personnel Services. Included are Freshman Days and
orientation, testing, counseling, housing and food service, health
and recreation, iinancial aid including student employment and
loans, and student activities. Graduating seniors and alumni benefit
from the services of the Placement Oflice. Coordination of these
services is centered in the oflice of the Dean of Students. The
planning and policy are formulated by the Personnel Committee.
FRESHMAN ORIENTATION
Freshmen and other new students participate in "Freshman
Days" before the beginning of classes in the fall semester. The
students take tests, inspect the college facilities, and become acquainted with their fellow students, with the faculty, and especially with their own faculty counselors. Several conferences with
the faculty- counselors are scheduled for the students, during
which they plan their program of study.
All freshmen enroll in a class in Orientation. In this course,
the students learn about standards and requirements of various
areas of college life. Methods and habits of study and related
techniques are explored. Personal health, social adjustment, personal
finances and vocational aims are discussed.
TESTING
A battery of aptitude, ability and interest tests are adrninistered free to all new students during Freshman Days. College aptitude scores, English and reading ability scores are obtained for
later use by counselors in helping students plan their programs.
Personal adjustment scores and vocational interest scores help the
students select occupational goals and future careers.
COUNSELING
The purpose of counseling is to give the student individual
help in all areas of adjustment to college life. The insight and
techniques of adjustment will also serve him later in life. Each
freshman and new student is assigned a faculty member who may
serve as his counselor for m o years. Counselors for juniors and
seniors are their major advisers. The Deans and other administrative
o0icers are general counselors to all students.
The Faculty counselor helps the student plan his educational
program and choose appropriate subjects. The student learns to
understand his own abilities and aptitudes through the analysis and
interpretation of test data by his counselor.
Through a system of referral, students 'may obtain counsel from
any member of the faculty, or from quaEed persons within the
college community.
VOCATIONAL COUNSELING
Vocational counseling is introduced to freshmen through the
use of a vocational interest test. An Occupational Information
file in the college library provides study materials for vocational
planning. Career conferences annually bring many professional
people to the campus for group sessions and individual counseling
on job opportunities.
PERSONAL COUNSELING
Students who have personal problems may find help through
discussing the problem with their counselor. Personal iinances,
housing, and similar problems are common topics of discussions.
Students who have spiritual problems may confer with their counselors, or other faculty members, such as members of the Department of Christianity and the College Pastor.
HOUSING
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall provides housing for about
150 men. Fifty women are accommodated at Sivertsen Hall, with
Morton Hall housing twenty, Miriam House and Edda House
each housing eighteen, and Morton Annex, twelve.

pattern of subjects is required, but it is recommended that the last
four years of high school include four units of English, or three
units of English and two of a foreign language, two units of social
studies, and one unit of mathematics. A unit is defined as a course

vance if they have been taken in the state-wide testing program.
The General Educational Development tests are available to service
men through the Armed Forces Institute. All tests may, however,
be taken at Augsburg by arrangement with the Registrar.

Introduction to Interim
Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. The college follows a 4-1-4calendar, with Fall and Spring
semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week
January Interim. Interim is particularly intended to be a time
for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and
learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and
ways not possible during the regular term. There will be no
summer Interim in 1987.
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 a s they would for a four-course load during Fall
and Spring semesters. Students can register for only one
course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a
student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0
scale. Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/
No credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the
PIN system; this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division
standing. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and
the student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a
more rigorous grading standard.
To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35
courses of which at least three must be Interim courses (or one
Interim less than the number of years of full-time enrollment at
Augsburg; e.g., a transfer enrolled full time for two years is required to complete one Interim for graduation).
Augsburg Policy
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the
basis of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or handicap a s required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, a s amended, in its admissions policies, educational programs, activities and employment practices.

BIO 174-47007
Instructor:Robert Herforth
In its broadest sense developmental biology includes the study of
the entire life cycle of the individual, from production of the eggs
and sperm through fertilization, embryonic and fetal development, birth, growth and maturation, reproduction, aging and
death. This course will touch on all these aspects of human development, but will concentrate on gamete production, fertilization
and development up to birth. Comparisons with development in
other animals will be made. Some related topics which will be considered include the hormonal control of reproduction and childbirth, in vitro fertilization, methods of contraception and developmental defects. Grades will be based on several quizzes and exams
given during the course.

H Biological Evolution
BIO 307-47008
Instructor: Ralph Sulerud
That organisms have evolved and, accordingly, all creatures are
biologically related are probably the most sigmficant conclusions
which biology has contributed to human knowledge. The antievolutionist arguments of the "scientific creationists" will be
investigated in this course. However, to the vast majority of biologists evolution is accepted a s a fact, and the evidence in its support will be examined.
Biologists do not agree concerning the mechanisms and pace of
evolution. Indeed, theories as to these matters have evolved and
continue to do so. Much of the course will involve historical study
of evolutionary thought from pre-Darwinian times to the present.
Finally, we will address the course of evolution from the origin of
life itself to the origin of human life.
There will be a variety of readings, and classes will consist of lectures and discussions. Grading will be based primarily on quizzes
and tests.

Augsburg Goes to Business
BUS 321-47012
Instructor:Thomas Morgan, Tina Wagner, Lois Olson
"Augsburg Goes to Business" is a one-month senior seminar for
business and economics majors. The goal of the seminar is to provide a better understanding of the diversity in organizations and
the varied environments in which and the many constraints with
which they must operate. Three objectives emerge:
1. to develop a clearer understanding of how the different functional areas of an organization operate on a day to day basis
and how these "parts" are integrated into the overall operation of the firm.
2. to examine the extent to which "textbook approaches" correspond to "real world" situations and are able to accommodate practical application.
3. to explore potential conflicts between individual (personal
and career) goals and the goals of the organization; addressing how these conflicts may be resolved.
Class time will be divided between on-campus lecture and discussion and off-campus visits. Students will visit eight different
types of organizations in the metropolitan area. Class discussions
will focus on assigned readings, interpretation of the results of
different vocational oriented tests, and the issues relevant to the
selection of career paths.
Students will keep a journal of experiences and observations.
Grades will be determined on the basis of the journal and on a
research paper the topic of which has been negotiated with the

The Short Story - Elements of Fiction
ENG 240-4702..
Instructor: Kathryn Swanson
What is fiction? What is good fiction? What elements of fiction
should I consider in making an evaluation? In this course, students will find answers to these questions by reading a variety of
fictional works and by writing their own fiction.
Although the course will not involve a systematic analysis of the
history of the form of the short story, we will begin with tales and
fables and we will read a sufficient number of classics for the student to appreciate the historical development from Poe to Beattie.
The course will involve practice in ways of approaching literature
and will include study of the basic critical terminology, so it would
be an appropriate course for students who have not yet studied
literature at the college level.
Students are expected to read the stories and novel, participate in
class discussions, write an analysis paper on a topic selected with
the advice of the teacher, write a short story, and take several quizzes and a final exam. Effective Writing is not a prerequisite but

Emily Dickinson: The Person and The Poems
ENG 340-47029
Instructor:Ron Palosaari
Unknown in her lifetime, Emily Dickinson has gained a reputation as one of America's finest poets.
She spent most of her life within the family home, confining her
relationships to a selected few while the town regarded her as eccentric. Some writers believe she retreated from the world to give
herself to her poetry because her time and place made no provision for a female professional poet, especially a boldly innovative
one. Others trace her seclusion to various family relationships,
personal problems, or frustrated dreams of love. Whatever the situation, out of the mystery of her life comes the glory of her poetry.
We will study her poetry and a standard biography. Evaluation will
be based on a few short papers, an oral or group report, a journal,
and a test. We may also have some quizzes.
Students will also read one of the important books on Dickinson
and give a class report on the paper they prepare on their book.

HISTORY
Modern Paris: History and Literature
HIS 114-47036
Instructor:Orloue Gisselquist
We will do two things in this course. First, we are going to study a
significant period-the 19th and 20th centuries-in the history of
one of the world's great cities. Secondly, we are going to focus
much of our work on three major pieces of literature that deal
with Paris. We will enjoy them as literature but study them as
historical sources for what they tell us about Paris. The three
pieces of literature we probably will read are Honore de Balzac,
Old Goriot (1834),one of several novels he wrote picturing life in
Paris; Alexis de Tocqueville, Recollections (1893),a memoir written in the early 1850's by one of the great political thinkers of the
19th century that recounts his firsthand experience in the '48 revolution in Paris; and Edrnond and Jules de Goncourt, Pages from
the Goncourt Journal (1922),a very realistic day-to-daydiary kept
by two brothers who professionally and socially associated with
the literary elite of Paris during much of the second half of the
19th century. Whereas today history is being pressed toward the
social sciences, this represents a more humanities orientation of
historical study.

A myth is not something patently false or absurd, although popular usage has emphasized its fictional quality. Myth is the means
by which people and cultures explain themselves to others and to
themselves. In this course we will examine mythopoeic thought
and the myths which that process evolved in the ancient Near
East, Greece and Rome. We will read mythological literature in
translation and modern commentaries on the nature of myth
making. These mythologies will be studied within their historical
and cultural context, resulting in a final paper on a topic to be
decided upon between student and instructor. In addition to the
final paper, there will be a final exam and weekly quizzes or writing assignments. Depending upon production timing, the class
will attend an area dramatic presentation. Students enrolling for
upper division credit will be required to write an expanded final
paper based on deeper source material (18-20pages in length compared to lower division papers of 10-12 pages) and, in addition, a

Issues in Science and Religion
REL 374-47055
Instructors: John Benson and Mark Engebretson
For some in our society science is the driving engine of a better,
more secure life. For others, including some Christians, science
and its associated technologies constitute a grave threat.
This course will begin with a historical overview of the relations
between science and the Christian faith, emphasizing three periods; the origins of the Christian faith, the development of "modern" science and mechanistic philosophy; and the reevaluation of
science and nature in the 20th century
The following are some of the questions to be dealt with: Has science made the Bible obsolete? Are scientists really that smart?
Has modern physics made it easier to be a Christian? Can computers save us? Why do science and religion always seem to be
fighting one another?
Grades will be based on class discussion of assigned readings, two

Ethics in Communication
SPC 340-47064
Instructor:Ray Anderson
We all encounter deception and exploitation in politics, advertising, selling, and personal relations. How can one decide whether
to conceal information from a customer, to use subliminal persuasion, to "blow the whistle" on one's employer, to use photographs
or body language to give a misleading impression? How can one
sort out and weigh the various ethical considerations?
In this course we will use case studies and a variety of ethical perspectives to analyze ethical problems in such fields as advertising,
public relations, sales, and politics. We will also consider issues in
subliminal persuasion, nonverbal communication, and interpersonal communication. The main objective is to improve our ability
to make ethical decisions.
Activities will include lectures, readings, case studies, interviews,
oral reports, papers, debates, and two examinations. The emphasis will be on case studies involving situations encountered in
everyday life.
