Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota. We know that Augsburg College is an excellent choice for you to pursue your teaching dreams and goals-and here's why. OUR PHILOSOPHY. The Education Department program theme-Teacher as developing professional from classroom decision-maker to educational leadersuggests the expectations we have that our students will leave our programs prepared to exercise leadership in the classroom and, eventually, the institution. Our department mission statement goes beyond leadership to also lay out our expectations for fostering "student learning and well-being by being knowledgeable in content, being competent in pedagogy, being ethical in practice, building relationships, embracing diversity, reflecting critically, and collaborating effectively. " Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through course content, field experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students leave our programs prepared to be knowledgeable, collaborative, capable beginning teachers who imbue their practice with ethics, tolerance, and compassion. OUR FACULTY. Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors, all of whom have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all full-time faculty members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision, volunteer work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do . We value good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers. OUR ACCESSIBILITY. We realize that though teaching is your dream, your reality likely includes work, family, and personal responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face , we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings and weekends to allow you to manage these responsibilities while pursuing your goals. As a student in Augsburg's Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly qualified teacher-the teacher you can become. Vicki Olson, Ph.D. Program Director The Augsburg College Education Department commits itself to developing future educational leaders who foster student learning and well-being by being knowledgeable in content, being competent in pedagogy, being ethical in practice, building relationships, embracing diversity, reflecting critically, and collaborating effectively.

We offer you an opportunity to earn your education licensure as a component of a Master of Arts in Education (MAE) degree through classes that primarily meet every other weekend and limited weekday evenings. Augsburg's MAE degree is flexible, for people who: I have a baccalaureate degree already and are seeking teaching licensure with an option to complete a master's degree; I are licensed teachers seeking a master's degree; I are seeking a master's degree in education without teaching licensure. Through weekend and weekday evening classes, students can earn licensure in: I Elementary education with a middle school specialty. Specialty areas in communication arts, math, and social studies are available through this program. The science specialty is available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, and weekend courses. All education courses are available through weekend and weekday evening courses. I Secondary and K-12 education. Undergraduate majors in licensable content areas serve as the foundation for secondary and K-12 education licensure. These majors are evaluated by Augsburg's content area departments to determine remaining content area courses necessary for licensure. In general, a minimum of two courses within the licensure major must be completed at Augsburg. Social studies, art, and communication arts/literature are available entirely through weekend and weekday evening classes. Other licensure majors are offered primarily through weekday courses, including biology, chemistry, health education, mathematics, music education, physical education, physics, and theatre arts. All education courses are available through weekend and weekday evening courses. I Special education. Licensure areas in special education include emotional/behavioral disabilities and learning disabilities. These programs, designed primarily for people who have already earned a baccalaureate degree and now want a teaching license, are comprised of two distinct parts. First is the licensure component. If you are seeking licensure and qualify for admission into the MAE program, you can take a portion of the licensure courses at the graduate level. While these courses do not fulfill all MAE degree requirements, they form the core of the master's degree. Second is the graduate degree completion component. Between four to six licensure courses completed at the graduate level with a 3.0 or better cumulative GPA can be applied towards the MAE degree. Once licensure is achieved, you can continue to take graduate classes in education and leadership to complete the MAE degree. - Already licensed teachers can work towards the MAE degree through the following options: I Special education E/BD and LD I Reading licensure People seeking an education-related master's degree who do not want licensure can pursue an MAE degree, as well. These programs are made up of a core of graduate level education courses plus additional courses in leadership. Whether seeking licensure and/or a master's degree, this program allows you to change or enhance your career while fulfilling your family and professional commitments in the company of adults with similar goals. PROGRAM CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion program. The Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their institutions and communities. ,. The leadership focus plays out in two ways. First, the additional work required in focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well a: requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students are required courses from our Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program. This provides the : aspects of leadership as part of their degree program.

Augsburg Weekend College offers this license to people who already hold a bachelor's degree and meet admissions requirements, as well as to people seeking a bachelor's degree. Licensure requirements are offered at undergraduate/ graduate level. That means classes will consist of both undergraduate and graduate students, with graduate students having additional course responsibilities. The graduate course numbers are taken at the 500 level. The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure, and between four and six may also be applied toward the master's degree in education. EDC 200/522 EDC 206/566 EDC 310/533 EDC 410/544 EDC 480/580 EED 320/520 Orientation to Education (1.0) * Diversity/Minnesota American Indians (1.0) Learning and Development (l.O) * Special Needs Learner (I.O) * School and Society (1.0) K-6 Methods: Reading (l.O) * To complete the license, you will also need to complete certain requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE ll5 Chemical Dependency (.5) EDC 220 Educational Technology (.5) EED 310 K-6 Methods: Health/PE (.5) EED 330 K-6 Methods: Children's Lit./Lit.

A minimum of 100 hours in classrooms and education-related settings are required prior to student teaching. Students spend approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences. UNDERGRADUATE LIBERAL ARTS REQUIREMENTS The number of supporting liberal arts courses required for licensure depends upon the courses taken previously as part of the bachelor's degree. Requirements are determined by: I Minnesota licensure standards for specific college level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary licensure. I Minnesota licensure standards in a specialty area for middle school. Subject area specialties are offered in language arts, social studies, math, and science. Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. The Education Department determines the courses that are accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. In limited cases, life experience can be considered as a substitute for specific program requirements. In such cases students must provide significant evidence of competency in the affected standards. The College's Applicat~on of Prior Learning (APL) process is used as a framework. The Education Department determines what is accepted. - K-12 and 5-12 licensures in several content areas are offered in Weekend College through a combination of graduate and undergraduate coursework. Education requirements are offered primarily on a weekend schedule (along with a limited number of weekday evening courses) . Graduate-level licensure coursework is available to people who already hold a bachelor's degree and meet admissions criteria. The following majors are offered almost entirely through Weekend College: communication arts/literature, history or economics or psychology or sociology (all for social studies), studio art. The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure, and four to six may also be applied toward the master's degree in education. People seeking 5-12 licensure in social studies and biology, chemistry, or physics must complete a broad-based core of courses in their selected field in addition to the major. Previous coursework is accepted when appropriate. This is part of the evaluation of major coursework.

UNDERGRADUATE LIBERAL ARTS REQUIREMENTS The equivalent of a major in a content area is required for K-12 and 5-12 licensure. Students who have majored in a field in which we offer licensure must have their previous coursework evaluated by the major department at Augsburg. Additional coursework tied to licensure standards is generally required. - The following majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry, physics, health and physical education, theatre/dance, mathematics. LICENSURE COMPONENT Learning Disabilities Core There are two licensure options in the K-12 Special Education program: emotional/behavioral disabilities, and learning disabilities. Both of these programs qualify you to teach in special education programs and positions. Many students get licensure in both emotional/behavioral and learning disabilities. Students wishing to earn a Learning Disabilities licensure in addition to a Emotional/Behavioral licensure will take the above courses in the Emotional/Behavioral core, and two additional specialty courses. Emotional/Behavioral Disabilities Core SPE 434/534 The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure, and up to six may also be applied toward the master's degree in education. EDC 200/522 EDC 206/566 EDC 310/533 EDC 410/544 EED 320/520 SPE 400/500 SPE 410/510 Orientation to Education (1.0) * Diversity/Minnesota American Indians (1.0) Learning and Development (1.0) * Special Needs Learner (1.0) * K-6 Methods: Reading (l.O)* Teaching Students with Emot./Behavioral Disabilities (1.0)** Implementing Assessment Strategies SPE 420/520 SPE 430/530 Planning, Design, and Delivery (1.0) ** Instructional and Behavioral Practices SPE 440/540 Parent and Professional Planning (1.0)** SPE 424/524 Etiology and Origins of Learning Disabilities (l.O)** Teaching Content Areas to Students with Learning Disabilities (1.0)** A student wishing to earn only a Learning Disabilities licensure would take all of the Emotional/Behaviorial Disabilities core class as well, with the exception of SPE 4 30/530 Instructional and Behavioral Practices. (1.0)** (1.0)** - To complete the license, students will also need to complete certain requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE 115 EDC 220 EED 330 EED 350 EED 360 Chemical Dependency (.5) Educational Technology (.5) K-6 Methods: Children's Lit.IL.Arts (1.0) K-6 Methods: Math (1.0)* K-6 Methods: Science (1.0)* Student Teaching (1.0-2.0) *10-20 hours of field experience are required as part of this course. Students currently working in schools can often use their school employment for their field experience. **These courses are taken during the internship year. A significant amount of contact with students labeled EBD or LD is required. The ideal situation for the internship year is to be working in a K-12 setting with these students. Students not currently employed in schools must be available for extensive volunteer field placements during the internship year. Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. The Education Department determines the courses that are accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. Eligibility To be eligible to apply to the Special Education program, students must: I have college credits, an associate degree, or degree and/or licensure in another field; and I be currently employed in a K-12 setting as a paraprofessional or licensed teacher; and/or I have experience working with students who are labeled with emotional, behavioral, or learning disabilities, as well as considerable time available for volunteer field placements. - Innovative Model This program is based on an internship model that allows coursework and experience to occur simultaneously In addition to student teaching, students must complete two 40-hour field placements where they will gain experience working with students from age groups different from their internship site. This program is built on an inclusive education model. Under this model, students learn how to work closely with both special and regular educators to facilitate inclusion of special education students into the regular education classroom. Augsburg College also offers a K-12 Reading Endorsement program. This endorsement has been established to provide teachers with existing teaching licenses an opportunity to expand their knowledge and practices in the area of reading instruction. Candidates for this license will complete 4.5 credits of coursework that have been designed to meet the requirements established for this license by the Minnesota Board of Teaching. Students may use these courses to fulfill requirements for the Master of Arts in Education degree. These courses include: EED 520 K-6 Methods: Reading (LO)* ESE 500 Reading/Writing in the Content Areas (LO)* EDC 505 K-12 Literature in the Classroom (.5) EDC 508 K-12 Reading Assessment and Evaluation (LO) EDC 510 Clinical and Reading Program Leadership (LO) EED 320/520 and ESE 300/500 are offered to both undergraduate and graduate students. EED 320/520 is part of the elementary and special education initial licensure programs, and ESE 300/500 is part of the secondary initial licensure program. The rigor of the course is increased for those taking it at the graduate level. The following policies apply for licensed teachers seeking the reading endorsement: I Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching license and who are graduates of Augsburg College or completers of Augsburg licensure programs within the past seven years will not be required to retake the entire version of EED 520 or ESE 500. However, they will be expected to complete the requirement for the graduate portion of the course that they may have taken at the undergraduate level (EED 320 or ESE 300) within the context of a half-credit graduate level independent study. If the graduate level of the course was taken as part of the initial license (EED 520 or ESE 500) within the past seven years, students do not need to repeat it or do the independent study. I Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching license and who are graduate/completers of Augsburg College, but not within the past seven years, will be required to take EED 520 and/or ESE 500 at the graduate level. I Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching license and who are not graduates of Augsburg College will be expected to take EED 520 and ESE 500 at the graduate level as part of the endorsement program. STUDENT TEACHING All education students are required to complete student teaching in their content area. In the MAE program, student teaching is completed after the core education classes are completed, but before the master's completion electives and final project. Student teaching generally lasts for 12 weeks; however, it may vary slightly for some specific content areas. During that time, students work full time as student teachers and are supervised by an Augsburg faculty member. Students register for two credits of student teaching, and meet at Augsburg College for a student teaching seminar three times during the term. Most placements are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. However, students do have the opportunity to teach abroad, where students do half of the student teaching experience in the metro area, and the remaining portion in another country. Opportunities to teach abroad are available around the world, and it is a wonderful opportunity to build a global perspective in education. - Students progress in graduate coursework during the licensure program. The licensure coursework forms the Master of Arts in Education core, with up to six Augsburg graduate-level licensure courses fulfilling the master's requirements. Declaration of Intent to Complete Students who have been admitted into the MAE program must formally declare their intent to complete the master's degree beyond licensure. This can be done any time during coursework, and up to one year after completing student teaching. Students have seven years to complete the degree after filing the intent to complete form The declaration of intent is made to the MAE program coordinator. Graduate-level courses in which a 3.0 or better is achieved will be accepted into the degree program. If a graduate course is graded 2.5 it can be accepted into the MAE degree completion program as long as the cumulative GPA remains at 3.0 or higher. A maximum of two courses at 2.5 can be used to complete the MAE degree. Students need nine graduate-level courses to complete the MAE. Between four and six courses can be drawn from the appropriate core; the remaining courses will be education or leadership requirements and electives. Once graduate-level students have declared their intent to complete the master's degree, they are eligible to take Master of Arts in Leadership and other education graduate courses. If education graduate courses are used as electives in the degree completion component, they must be drawn from a pool of education non-licensure courses offered at the graduate level. In most cases students will complete the licensure component prior to the graduate degree. The MAE program is also open to students seeking a master's degree without licensure. Students taking this path file Intent to Complete forms with the MAE program director prior to taking their first graduate-level course. The same GPA standards apply (3.0 or better on coursework) and the core of the graduate program is made up of four to six graduate-level licensure courses, plus the degree completion options outlined for those seeking licensure. The difference is that these students are not required to complete the undergraduate courses in education and liberal arts that are required for licensure. Graduate Degree Completion To earn a master's degree beyond the core of education classes, students will need to successfully complete a minimum of three additional graduate-level courses. They are: I A research methods course, typically ML 514 I An elective course, chosen from leadership-focused courses in the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program (see page 11) I A research- or leadership-based final project Students bringing fewer than six graduate-level licensure courses into the degree program must complete additional leadership or education graduate courses to reach the total of nine required courses. - The research methods course will help prepare students to evaluate and document research for use in their final project or paper. In this course, both qualitative and quantitative research methods will be examined. The leadership elective courses allow students to examine issues of leadership at a personal or institutional level. The goal for the graduate degree completion component is to foster the development of teachers as leaders within the institution and community as is in line with our program theme and department mission statement. FINAL PROJECT OPTIONS Students have two options for fulfilling their Master of Arts in Education final project, which serves as the capstone of the master's program: a Leadership Application Project or action research. LEADERSHIP ELECTIVE OPTIONS The Leadership Application Project is a research-based study that links issues of leadership and education with the degree candidate's personal interests. The character of the project will vary with the nature of the investigation and the materials involved, but will always be application oriented. The central component of the Leadership Application Project is the demonstration of leadership ability through a concrete research-based project appropriate to the candidate's workplace or place of service. Students taking this option will register for EDC 585 Independent Study and work closely with a project adviser from Augsburg College. ML510 Visions of Leadership ML 511 Creativity and Problem-Solving ML 520 Self Identity, Values, and Personal The second option is action research in education. Action research is a collaborative, self-reflective research method designed to be used in real situations, and is aimed at solving real problems. The goal of action research is to gain better knowledge of one's practice while improving the situation in which the practice is conducted. This option is composed of two half-credit courses taken in sequential terms. The first course, EDC 586, introduces students to action research, a form of research that simultaneously contributes to the practical concerns of people while furthering the goals of social science. The second course, EDC 587, is focused on collecting and analyzing data. It culminates in a symposium where students present their research in a public forum. Growth ML525 Personality and Systems Theories ML 530 Ethics in Communication ML 531 The Dynamics of Change ML 545 Decision Making and Leadership ML 550 Communication, Decision Making, and Technology ML 560 Developing a Multicultural Perspective ML 565 Women and Leadership - Many education courses in the Master of Arts in Education program are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Both undergraduate and graduate students take courses together, with graduate students having additional responsibilities and expectations. Graduate courses are offered at the 500 level. All courses are 1.0 credit unless noted otherwise. EDC 410/544 The Special Needs Learner The study of students with disability, special needs, and giftedness.

Courses not offered on the numbered grading system are noted in the course descriptions in this catalog as being graded on PIN basis. In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. No more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will count toward the degree. No more than two courses with a grade of or below 2.5 can be repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are counted in the grade point average. 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 Achieves the minimum passing standard Performance below basic course standards 0.5 0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) P Achieves at or above the 2.0 level (not computed in grade point average) N Does not meet minimum course standards (no credit and nonpunitive-not computed in grade point average) W Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Office of the Registrar that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor's signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0. ATTENDANCE POLICY Attendance is highly important and should be considered a responsibility, not only to one's self, but to one's classmates and course instructor. - ACADEMIC PROBATION AND DISMISSAL POLICIES Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If a student receives a grade of N or 0.0 in a course, the student must petition successfully with the MAE program director before being allowed to continue in the program. A plan for the student to follow would be outlined at that time. If a second grade of N or 0.0 is received, the student may be dismissed from the program by the MAE program director. Students may also be dismissed by the MAE program director for behavior detrimental to the program, such as a gross violation of college policy (as published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would occur only after established procedures were followed. CREDIT FOR PRIOR EDUCATION Students may petition the MAE program director for approval of any variation in the curriculum including the transfer of credit. Transfer credits will be evaluated on an individual basis. The only courses that will be considered for transfer credit are those earned from accredited colleges and universities, whose course content is comparable to those in the MAE program.

You will find faculty and staff available and eager to assist you in expanding your nursing practice and advancing your career while we explore together our understanding of what it means to live and practice nursing in a global society. Students entering the Master of Arts in Nursing come from diverse cultural, educational, and experiential backgrounds. While some master's degree candidates enter directly from college, others are making mid-life career changes, and some are returning to college after raising a family. The career options in nursing are more variable and more rewarding than ever before. As our population ages and becomes increasingly diverse, nurses are challenged to respond with creativity and competence. The master's program prepares nurses for leadership across care settings, population groups, cultures, and care systems, with particular emphasis on addressing global and local health inequities. Graduates of our master's program are practicing in acute care, community and public health, nursing education, nursing administration, and in emerging care settings that are responsive to the needs of culturally diverse and underserved populations. Many of our graduates have created innovative practice and educational models that demonstrate interdisciplinary leadership and economically feasible solutions to health inequities within communities. Our curriculum invites persons into one of two tracks of study: Transcultural Nursing in Community or Transformational Nursing Leadership and Management. Both tracks encourage students to apply for advanced nursing certification through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) or the Transcultural Nursing Society (TCNS). Students certified in Advanced Community Health Nursing are eligible to apply for Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) status through the Minnesota Board of Nursing. Courses are offered at the Augsburg campuses in Minneapolis and Rochester, Minnesota, and the program is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). With its emphasis on nursing science and the liberal arts, the Master of Arts in Nursing fosters the development of values and skills essential for transcultural nursing leadership in contemporary society. Faculty and staff at Augsburg are receptive and committed to our students and to an educational process that equips you to transform your unique gifts and interests into personal and professional service in the world. Sincerely, Cheryl Leuning, Ph.D. Professor and Chair Department of Nursing The Transcultural Nursing in Community track in the Master of Arts in Nursing program was designed to prepare nurses for advanced population-focused practice in culturally diverse communities. The curriculum is grounded in nursing science, public health principles, themy-guided practice, and transcultural care. The program of study focuses on reaching populations that are underserved by traditional care systems and who exist outside of the social mainstream. As such, the program provides rich alternative teaching and learning opportunities for graduate students locally and internationally This program prepares nurses to apply for certification in Transcultural Nursing through the International Transcultural Nursing Society Also, graduates of this track of the masters program will be eligible to apply to take the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) certification exam in Advanced Community Health Nursing. Students will take a total of 10 courses, plus a thesis or graduate project. Three courses form the Advanced Nursing Core, which all Master of Arts in Nursing students must take, and five additional courses make up the Transcultural Nursing in Community Track.

The credit can be applied to the Master of Arts in Nursing degree. - Students have two options for fulfilling their Master of Arts in Nursing final project, which serves as the capstone of the master's program: a graduate field project, or an integrative master's thesis. The Graduate Field Project, NUR 525, is based on a selfselected issue relevant to transcultural community health nursing, or nursing leadership. The student will focus primarily on the application and integration of knowledge. Working with an adviser, the student will design and/or implement and evaluate a model of advanced practice nursing applied to solving a transcultural problem related to health inequities in a selected community, or a nursing leadership issue. The integrative thesis option, NUR 535, expands upon and/or extends theoretical foundations or concepts identified in transcultural nursing, community health nursing, and/or nursing leadership literature. The thesis project demonstrates the student's ability to do independent research involving the exposition of primary and secondary literature appropriate to the topic, the collection and analysis of empirical data, and the articulation of implications for advanced practice nursing. Students register for their final project, with their adviser's permission, near the end of the program. Students must complete all coursework and defend the project within one year after registration. After one year, students must pay a continuation fee of $350 per term in order to retain student status in the graduate program, including library privileges, AugNet access, and parking privileges. Please refer to the "Graduate Field Project or Integrative Thesis Procedures and Policies" booklet available in the Nursing Department for additional information. - Practice experience is emphasized in both tracks in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. Students who complete the Transcultural Nursing in Community track will have enough practice hours to be eligible to apply to take the certification exam in Advanced Community Health Nursing through the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Practice experience with diverse populations will also provide students with the options to apply to take the certification exam in Transcultural Nursing. In this track students practice in nontraditional settings with persons underserved or excluded from mainstream health care. This practice emphasizes cultural diversity and health inequities across health care settings. Students in the Transformational Leadership and Management track will have practice experience in several courses with preceptors in leadership positions in a variety of care settings. A unique opportunity offered for practica at Augsburg is provided by the Augsburg Central Nursing Center. The Nursing Center provides services for persons struggling with poverty and homelessness in the city of Minneapolis. People from diverse backgrounds, who have health experiences grounded in wide-ranging cultural contexts, provide many opportunities for students to explore advanced nursing roles and new models and forms of practice. STUDY ABROAD OPPORTUNITIES The Nursing Department works closely with Augsburg's Center for Global Education in developing study abroad opportunities. Currently, four study abroad opportunities exist for student practicum experience. Annually, students may travel to Namibia in southwest Africa to spend three weeks exploring health and health care challenges within a rapidly developing country: Practical experience with nurses in a variety of care settings, meaningful dialogue with key resource persons, and critical reflection foster personal and professional growth. There are also week-long practica experiences on the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in South Dakota. In this experience, students live on the reservation and participate with public health nurses providing health services. Students also interact with tribal leaders and experience cultural events relevant to the Lakota people of Pine Ridge. Week-long experiences are available in Mexico and Guatemala on alternating years. Students explore the relationships of indigenous and Western health care, the connection between social justice and health, and interact with local indigenous healers. Students may apply these study abroad experiences to the practicum requirements for a variety of courses, including the thesis and graduate field project. - NUR 500 Transcultural Health Care NUR 510 Advanced Community Health Nursing I This course explores meanings and expressions of health, illness, caring, and healing transculturally. Focus is on understanding and developing professional competence in caring for individuals, families, groups, and communities with diverse cultural backgrounds. Culture is examined as a pervasive, determining "blueprint" for thought and action throughout the human health experience. Patterns of human interaction that foster health and quality of life are analyzed, and health destroying patterns of interaction, e.g., stereotyping, discrimination, and marginalization, are examined and submitted to moral and ethical reflection. (36 hours of practice experience) This course focuses on persons, families and groups living in relationship. Emphasis is on applying the core functions of community/public health - assessment, policy development and assurance. Principles of epidemiology, population demographics, and culture care are integrated into community-focused health care delivery models. Power structures within dominant social systems are analyzed and critiqued with regard to resource access and distribution among underserved populations. (72 hours of practice experience) NUR 503 Transcultural Health, Families, and the Life Cycle The major curriculum concepts of individuals, health, nursing, and society are developed further in this course as the function of individuals living in families and in communities is explored. Content about systems, communication, small group, and nursing theories, introduced earlier, is applied to family constellation. The influence of the multigenerational family is examined in terms of culture, belief system, roles, and healthcare patterns, values, and goals. Specific concepts related to values and culture are expanded and applied to the more complex social structures of traditional and nontraditional families as they interact in and with society. NUR 505 Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Nursing Practice This course focuses on nursing science and nursing theory as foundational to advanced transcultural nursing practice. Philosophical underpinnings of different theoretical and research traditions in nursing are compared and related to the provision of culturally competent care in diverse communities. Nursing science is emphasized as a process of theory advancement and as an accumulating body of nursing knowledge. (36 hours of practice experience) - NUR 511 Advanced Community Health Nursing II Emphasis is on the application of publidcommunity health theory and research in providing health care to populations and communities. Essential public health services are assessed for adequacy in meeting community health needs and addressing health goals. The impact of diversity, privilege, resource limits, and globalization add depth and reality to local and global community health concerns, patterns of health, suffering, and health care provisioning. Prerequisite: NUR 510. (72 hours of practice experience) NUR 515 Managing Nursing Effectiveness within Care Systems In planning and implementing nursing activities, healthcare organizations are considered subcultures of society, which entail particular issues of access and utilization for marginalized people. Strategies for negotiating structures of privilege and professional control will be explored. Working with marginalized populations, students will identify and support the agency or persons who are seeking help from these systems. Nursing action will focus on mediating subcultures of clients with the subculture of healthcare systems. Major emphasis will be placed on mutuality with clients in planning actions and evaluating outcomes. (72 hours of practice experience) NUR 520 Research Methods in Nursing Through a combination of literature review, field experience, and class discussion, research methods relevant to the exploration of culture and health will be examined. Class topics will include formulating study questions to explore collective foundations of meaning and explanation in health and illness, practice in data collection procedures of field research, and issues of interpretation and analysis in qualitative research. (pre-requisite: a college-level statistics course) and dialogue, which includes professional experience of practice contexts, as well as theoretical and research literature, students will formulate a transcultural nursing model of care. (72 hours of practice experience) NUR 525 Graduate Field Project This course focuses on the application and integration of knowledge to a student-selected issue or topic of concern relevant to transcultural nursing, community health nursing, and/or transformational nursing leadership. Working with a nursing faculty adviser, students design and/or implement and evaluate a theory-based model of advanced practice nursing. Relevant coursework is integrated into the project and the final written report. Plans for disseminating the report for public and professional use are encouraged . Students will defend the project to their graduate committee (major faculty adviser and two readers) and invited guests at the time of completion. NUR 521 Transformative Nursing Leadership This course emphasizes transformational nursing leadership and management in partnership with diverse groups. Transcultural competence is lifted up as significant to the evolving leadership and planning skills needed in emerging care systems. Opportunities for students to engage in designing relevant models of care delivery are woven into clinical practica. (72 hours of practice experience) NUR 523 Theory, Research, and Practice Seminar Through a combination of literature review and class discussion, conceptual models of nursing will be critiqued for their effectiveness, their relevance, and their substantiation. The conceptualization, investigation, and application of nursing knowledge will be critiqued with particular focus on the contribution to developing practice in transcultural community health care. Through reflection - NUR 530 The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Transformation In this course, the student will explore ritual and ceremony from a transcultural perspective. Attention will be focused on rituals and ceremonies in specific cultures and religions, and in the modern American medical system that sustains its own rituals. In some cultures, formal or informal religious practices may be integral to the ritual of ceremony and healing. In modern American culture, the perceived division between the mind, body, and spirit has led to ritual and ceremony being considered adjunctive to the scientific approach to healing. Students will have an opportunity to interact with persons who integrate ritual and ceremony into their lives and healthcare practices. Students will also discuss the meaning of ritual and ceremony to their own lives and professional practice. NUR 532 Transcultural Healing Practices This course will introduce students to complementary healing practices including the historical and cultural contexts in which they developed. Students will discuss the philosophical underpinnings of therapeutic systems and paradigms of healing in selected complementary therapies. Selected complementary therapies are: music therapy, traditional Chinese medicine, mind-body healing, spiritual and faith practices, energy healing practices, movement therapies, homeopathy, manual therapies, and nutrition and nutritional supplements. NUR 535 Integrative Master's Thesis The integrative thesis expands upon or extends the theoretical foundations in the literature of Transcultural Nursing in Community or Transformational Leadership and Management. It demonstrates the student's ability to do independent research that integrates past and current literature appropriate to the topic, the collection and analysis of empirical data, and the articulation of implications for advanced nursing practice or leadership in nursing organizations. Students will defend the project to their selected graduate committee (comprised of the student's faculty adviser and two readers) and invited - guests. Plans for disseminating the report for public and professional use are encouraged. NUR 541 The Politics of Health Care This course will explore how health and illness are related to inequities in society and dynamics of power in systems of health care. The following issues will be examined in the course: How widening gaps in the distribution of wealth diminish the health of all members of society; how social inequities become medicalized as health disparities, how an emphasis on profit in health care affects the distribution of healing resources in the population, and what strategies the poor and powerless employ to gain access to healthcare resources. This course will include an optional study abroad experience in Guatemala.

MN 55454 This bulletin is a supplement to the Augsburg College Catalog and is published for the convenience of Augsburg Weekend College students . Weekend College is a program of Augsburg College and is subject to the policies and provisions as stated in the Augsburg College Catalog. INTRODUCTION TO AUGSBURG WEEKEND COLLEGE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM PURPOSE Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative to adults who desire college experience but who work or have other commitments during the week. I t is a means by which men and women may earn a bachelor's degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts. EDUCATIONAL MISSION For over a century Augsburg College has emphasized intellectual freedom in the search for knowledge. Our academic program builds on a liberal arts foundation to help students understand the past, interpret the present, and plan for the future. THE ADULT AS STUDENT The Augsburg Weekend College program is designed to meet the needs and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll in Weekend College will be mature, self-disciplined and well-motivated adult learners who seek a balance of classroom experience and individualized study. Each course is therefore divided into periods of concentrated on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation. ALTERNATE WEEKENDS To accommodate this format for learning, classes meet on alternate weekends for three and a half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. Each class selected by the student involves commitment to one of these four class periods. Weekend College students may take from one to four different courses by attending class every other weekend. COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS Essential to the goals of Augsburg Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement to become involved in interaction both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of both men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages Weekend College students to make use of college facilities such as the library and college center, to take the opportunity of having shared meals and coffee breaks, to participate in optional chapel services and lunchtime seminars, and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. As in the weekday program, Augsburg Weekend College offers students a unique combination of the liberal arts disciplines and professional education. Our goals are to help students develop the intellectual skills and attitudes to be life-long learners, increase their competence in selected areas of professional work, and accomplish a higher level of personal growth. ACCREDITATION AND AFFILIATIONS Augsburg College is fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and The National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (Secondary and Elementary). Our programs are approved by The American Chemical Society, The Council on Social Work Education and the National League for Nursing. We are a member of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC), Lutheran Education Council in North America, Minnesota Private College Council, National Association for Music Therapy, Inc., and are registered with the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board (HECB). FACULTY Augsburg College prides itself on its highly qualified faculty. Members of the faculty serve as academic advisers to students who are in the pre-major stage of planning as well as to students in declared major fields. LIBRARY Students and faculty use a carefully selected library of some 138,000 volumes plus audio-visual materials, with access to over 5,000,000 volumes through the Twin Cities private college consortium and Minitex. INTERNSHIPS Internships on and off campus are an established part of most academic programs, helping students make career choices and develop experience in their chosen fields. DEGREES AND MAJORS Augsburg Weekend College allows adults to begin a bachelor's degree program or to continue their education after beginning at another time or institution. I t also enables adults to add a second major to an already completed college degree. The following information outlines what is involved in completing a degree or major in Augsburg Weekend College.

Some of these services are: Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic programs of a liberal arts college. The APL program (Assessment of Previous Learning) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a bachelor's degree. ACADEMIC PLANNING All Augsburg Weekend College students will have access to expert academic advising services on an on-going basis to provide for efficient, effective planning. Students enrolling in Weekend College who have had college experience will have their previous work evaluated early in the admissions process. CAREER PLANNING SERVICES Staff from the Career Planning and Placement Office will assist adults in assessing their career goals and personal abilities. This service, in combination with sound academic advising from faculty in a chosen major field, can result in an appropriate and manageable educational and career plan for the individual involved. ACADEMIC SKILLS CENTER This center exists to help students enhance their skills in the areas of writing, reading, math, time management, and study skills. Academic tutors in specialized course areas are also available through the center. COUNSELING/SUPPORT GROUPS Individual and group activities are available to students who wish to work on a personal growth interest or concern or who simply want to have the experience of being in a support group of people who share some similar characteristics and/or interests. VETERANS OF MILITARY SERVICE Augsburg is approved by the State Approving Agency for Veterans Training. Veterans should consult with the Office of the Registrar about completion of the enrollment certificate and the forwarding of other information to the Veterans Administration. (Please refer to the Augsburg College Catalog for more detailed information.) 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) i t can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition: CLEP (COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM) Students who achieve acceptable scores in CLEP exams may receive academic credit in Augsburg College. CLEP exams are available in a variety of general and specific subject areas. For more information, contact the Admissions Office (330-1 002) DEPARTMENTAL ASSESSMENT Students who wish to receive credit for a specific academic course and do not have transcript evidence of completed work may request a departmental assessment of previous learning. This will most often include an examination that covers the essential components of the course involved. For more information, contact the Registrar's Office (330-1036). CAP (CREDIT ASSESSMENT PROCESS) This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty committee completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. Informal meetings and consultation are provided for students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment. Students may apply for CAP after completing at least four courses of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5. For more information, contact the Registrar's Office (330-1036). FEES AND PAYMENT SCHEDULE Application Fee (payable once, non-refundable) Tuition (per trimester course) (one course = 6 quarter credits or 4 semester credits) Tuition (per summer course) (tuition charge for 1986 summer terms) Lifetime Sports: Fee for course Fee for assessment of previous learning REFUND SCHEDULE A per course tuition refund will be made on the following basis: (Students are responsible for cancelling courses with the Registrar's Office in order to be eligible for the tuition refund.) Prior to the first scheduled class meeting - 100Â°/~ Prior to the second scheduled class meeting - 80% Prior to the third scheduled class meeting - 60% No refund after the third scheduled class meeting. The refund schedule is efleclive whether or no1 a student has allended classes. There are a number of ways in which students may receive assistance in meeting the costs of Augsburg Weekend College. The Financial Aid Office will assist adults in assessing financial need and constructing an aidlpayment program from the following alternatives: COMPANY TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS Many companies, agencies, and corporations offer full or partial tuition assistance to employees who participate in work-related or degree-oriented college programs. Augsburg provides several payment plans by which employees may handle tuition reimbursement. PELL GRANT This is a federal aid program, based on need, that is available to students who take at least one course in Weekend College. MINNESOTA PART-TIME STUDENT GRANT PROGRAM The State of Minnesota provides an aid program, based on need,,for state residents who take a part-time load in an eligible Minnesota institution such as Augsburg College. AUGSBURG TUITION GRANT Augsburg College will provide grants and scholarships to Weekend College students who show academic potential and have financial need. SPECIAL GRADING PROCEDURES Most courses are offered with grading options - traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the PassINo Credit system, in which "P" means a grade of 2.0 or better and "Nu means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. A student may not take more than 8 courses on a PIN grading system, with only 2 courses in the major. Students are cautioned to use the PIN grade option with care since some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses. An incomplete grade may be given only in the case of extreme emergency. To receive it, a student must file a petition with the Committee on Student Standing stating the reasons for the request, the plan and date for removing it, and comments from the instructor. If permission is granted, the incomplete must be removed during the following trimester, or it becomes the grade submitted by the teacher along with the incomplete. WITHDRAWAL FROM COLLEGE Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered, since this results in a failing grade on the official record. Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from College must be done in the Registrar's Office. Withdrawal from college cannot occur during final examination week unless a petition is approved by the Student Standing Committee. Withdrawal from college and resulting adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the completed Withdrawal from College form is returned to the Registrar's Office. GUARANTEED STUDENT LOAN/MINNESOTA STATE STUDENT LOAN PROGRAM Students must carry at least one-half the normal full-time load. Eligibility for the loan is determined by the Office of Student Financial Services. When repayment begins, the student pays the full interest at 8%. The maximum loan is $2,500 per year or the cost of education, whichever is less, and the aggregate undergraduate maximum is $12,500.

Show more About Augsburg College History Augsburg College was founded in 1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The name Augsburg College and Seminary changed in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with The American Lutheran Church. Location Augsburg's 23 acre campus is in the heart of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, only blocks from downtown Minneapolis and the intersection of Interstate Highways 94 and 35W. Adjacent to the campus are Fairview and St. Mary's hospitals, the West Bank campus of the University of Minnesota and the Mississippi River parkways. Campus Skyways, tunnels and elevators provide accessible connection between 9 of the 14 major buildings - student housing towers, College Center, main academic and administrative halls, the Library and Music building. Accessibility We have made a major effort to become one of the most accessible campuses in the region. Our skyway-tunnel system lets you reach any of the nine major buildings without going outside. In addition to building changes, we have a student-run program to increase awareness and provide extra help for students with disabilities. Church Affiliation Augsburg is a college of The American Lutheran Church. About 51% of the students are Lutheran, 15%other Protestant and 15%Roman Catholic. Several other affiliations are represented among students and faculty. Non-Discrimination Policy Augsburg College does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or handicap as required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended in its admission policies, educational programs, activities, and employment practices. Introduction to Augsburg Weekend College Purpose Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative to adults who desire college experience but who work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women may earn a bachelor's degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts. The Adult as Student The Augsburg Weekend College program is designed to meet the needs and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll in Weekend College will be mature, selfdisciplined and well-motivated adult learners who seek a balance of classroom experience and individualized study. Each course is therefore divided into periods of concentrated on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation. Alternate Weekends To accommodate this format for learning, classes meet on alternate weekends for three and a half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. Each class selected by the student involves commitment to one of these four class periods. Weekend College students may take from one to four different courses by attending class every other weekend. Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement to become involved in interaction both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of both men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages Weekend College students to make use of college facilities such as the library and college center, to take the opportunity of having shared meals and coffee breaks, to participate in optional chapel services and lunchtime seminars, and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events.

Writing helps us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through English study we see life's complexity, experience life as some others do, and understand better the world in which-we live and work. English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the contemplation oE works of art. With psychology and sociology, English is concerned with individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is interested in ideas and the relation between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering order and determining structures. With speech and communications, English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and in different cultures. Major: 9 courses above 111, including 225; one course in American literature; one course in Western literary tradition (271 or 272); and three courses in British literature, one on literature before 1660 (for example, 331 or 438) and one that surveys a number of writers (336, 337,423).

Special Grading Procedures Most courses are offered with grading options - traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system, in which "P" means a grade of 2.0 or better and "N" means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. A student may not take more than 8 courses on a PIN grading system, with only 2 courses in the major. Students are cautioned to use the P/N grade option with care since some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses. An incomplete grade may be given only in the case of extreme emergency. To receive it, a student must file a petition with the Committee on Student Standing stating the reasons for the request, the plan and date for removing it, and comments from the instructor. If permission is granted, the incomplete must be removed during the following trimester, or it becomes the grade submitted by the teacher along with the incomplete. Withdrawal From College Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered, since this results in a failing grade on the official record. Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from College must be done in the Registrar's Office. Withdrawal from college cannot occur during final examination week unless a petition is approved by the Student Standing Committee. Withdrawal from college and resulting adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the completed Withdrawal from College form is returned to the Registrar's Office. Dean's List The Dean's List is compiled after each semester, listing students whose grade point average for a semester is 3.5 or better, based on a minimum of two full courses, or equivalent, graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. Probation and Dismissal A student will be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term if his or her achievement is unsatisfactory. A student who has been on probation two or more consecutive semesters is subject to dismissal at the end of the term. Dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee on Student Standing. A student who has a poor academic record may be strongly advised to withdraw before the end of the term. A student who has been on probation for two terms and withdraws from the College voluntarily must have special permission to re-enroll. Student Support Services Augsburg Weekend College provides a number of student services to assist adults in making educational and career plans, accomplishing the academic tasks of a college education, working on their own personal development, and participating in activities beyond the classroom. Some of these services are: Academic Planning All Augsburg Weekend College students will have access to expert academic advising services on an on-going basis to provide for efficient, effective planning. Students enrolling in Weekend College who have had college experience will have their previous work evaluated early in the admissions process. Career Planning Services Staff from the Career Planning and Placement Office will assist adults in assessing their career goals and personal abilities. This service, in combination with sound academic advising from faculty in a chosen major field, can result in an appropriate and manageable educational and career plan for the individual involved. Academic Skills Center This center exists to help students enhance their skills in the areas of writing, reading, math, time management, and study skills. Academic tutors in specialized course areas are also available through the center. Counseling/Support Groups Individual and group activities are available to students who wish to work on a personal growth interest or concern or who simply want to have the experience of being in a support group of people who share some similar characteristics and/or interests. Veterans of Military Service Augsburg is approved by the State Approving Agency for Veterans Training. Veterans should consult with the Office of the Registrar about completion of the enrollment certificate and the forwarding of other information to the Veterans Administration. (Please refer to the Augsburg College Catalog for more detailed information.) Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic programs of a liberal arts college. The APL program (Assessment of Previous Learning) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a bachelor's degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition: CLEP (College Level Examination Program) Students who achieve acceptable scores in CLEP exams may receive academic credit in Augsburg College. CLEP exams are available in a variety of general and specific subject areas. For more information, contact the Admissions Oftice (330-1001). Departmental Assessment Students who wish to receive credit for a specific academic course and do not have transcript evidence of completed work may request a departmental assessment of previous learning. This will most often include an examination that covers the essential components of the course involved. For more information, contact the Registrar's Ofice (330-1036). CAP (Credit Assessment Process) This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty committee completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. Informal meetings and consultation are provided for students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment.
