A Greeting
from the President
Stephen Geffre
A college catalog is a wonderful text,
full of detail and data that offer all of us a
map to our lives together as a college
community.
What has prompted you to study this
map of Augsburg College? If you’re already
enrolled at Augsburg, I trust that you will
continue to find here the awe and wonder
of an educational experience that is meaningful and challenging. I hope that you will
be reminded of the relationships and commitments you have formed at Augsburg —
they will last a lifetime. I also hope that you
find in this map signposts of the progress
you have made in your vocational journey and that you will 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 that they not only tell you about
the character and essence of our institution, but also about our mission of service, particularly about those whom we serve in a modern, vibrant city. Augsburg is located in
the heart of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and it is in the city that our
College both serves and thrives. As you study here, you will find a setting that not
only provides remarkable learning opportunities, but one in which you will be able to
share you own talents and skills. Augsburg’s challenging academic environment is
enhanced by both education and service experiences that transform theory into action
and unite the liberal arts with the practical in preparing students as faithful citizens in
a global society.
The experience you are undertaking at Augsburg — or thinking of undertaking —
will occur on a small campus in the core of a great city; it will be led by faculty preoccupied with your welfare and the emergence and refinement of your vocational plans.
As you join Augsburg College, or consider doing so, please know that those of us
who await you here find the College an exciting place, full of diversity and yet possessed of a community dedicated to higher learning and good living. Here you can
find your way in the world.
May this map be your faithful guide!
Sincerely yours,
Paul C. Pribbenow
President

ABOUT AUGSBURG
A
t Augsburg College, we believe that
the college experience should be a time of
exploration, of discovery, of new experiences, and new possibilities. We also
believe that a liberal arts education is the
best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of
today and tomorrow. Augsburg graduates
will be able to demonstrate not only the
mastery of a major field of study, but also
the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively.
Discovering your Gifts and Talents
The heart of an Augsburg education is
the Augsburg Core Curriculum — designed
to prepare students to become effective,
informed, and ethical citizens. Through
“Search for Meaning” courses, students
explore their own unique gifts and interests and find where their own talents intersect with the needs of our global society.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve for a
lifetime—writing, speaking, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a
few.
Thanks to Augsburg’s prime location in
the heart of a thriving metropolitan area,
many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense,
the resources of the Twin Cities are an
extended campus for Augsburg students.
Selection from over 50 Majors
Augsburg offers more than 50 majors—
or you can create your own major, either
on campus or through the Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See
page 58 for a complete list of majors and
minors.) This five-college consortium
allows day program students to take courses on other campuses without charge while
a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC
includes Augsburg College, the College of
St. Catherine, Hamline University,
Macalester College, and the University of
St. Thomas.
The Weekend College Program offers
19 majors and five certificate programs.
MISSION STATEMENT .
Students who graduate from Augsburg
are well prepared to make a difference in
the world. They stand as testaments to the
College motto, “Education for Service,”
and to the mission of the College:
“To nurture future leaders in service to
the world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in
the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and
values of the Christian church, by the
context of a vital metropolitan setting, and
by an intentionally diverse campus community.”
HISTORY .
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America,
named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in
1530. Augsburg opened in September
1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved
to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first
graduation was in 1879.
About Augsburg 11
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
The Focus Changed
August Weenaas was Augsburg’s first
president (1869-1876).
This attitude began to change after
World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup, Jr.,
became president. He worked to develop
college departments with an appeal to a
broader range of students than just those
intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of
Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She
spent the next 42 years at the College as a
teacher and administrator.
Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway—Sven Oftedal and Georg
Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate
Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such “college” studies that would prepare students for theological study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part
plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students;
and third, educate the farmer, worker, and
businessman. The statement stressed that a
good education is also practical.
Augsburg’s next two presidents also
emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts
of education. This commitment to church
and community has been Augsburg’s theme
for over 130 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the democratic
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second
president (1876-1907), required students
to get pre-ministerial experience in city
congregations. Student involvement in the
community gave early expression to the
concept of Augsburg’s motto, “Education
for Service.”
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed
the Friends of Augsburg, later called the
Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and
personal Christianity. This change made
Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important
primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The College’s mission assumed a double character—ministerial preparation
together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected
Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and
scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and
civic circles made Augsburg a more visible
part of church and city life.
After World War II, Augsburg leaders
made vigorous efforts to expand and improve
academic offerings. Now the College was a
larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential
to a liberal arts college, offering a modern
college program based on general education requirements and elective majors.
With curriculum change came a concerted
effort to become accredited. Full accreditation was achieved in 1954.
A study in 1962 defined the College’s
mission as serving the good of society first
and the interests of the Lutheran Free
Church second. The seminary moved to
Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther
Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the
Lutheran Free Church merged with the
American Lutheran Church. Subsequently,
the American Lutheran Church merged
with two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to
form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America.
12 About Augsburg
A College in the City
AUGSBURG TODAY .
President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg’s emphasis on
involvement with the city. He wanted to
reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for
all people. During his years of leadership
the College became a vital and integral part
of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg
added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall,
Urness Hall, Christensen Center, Ice Arena,
and Murphy Place.
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders
who believed:
Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College
from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg’s
commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in
enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the city
as extensions of campus and classroom.
Some of the accomplishments during his
tenure include instituting two graduate
degree programs, hosting national and
international figures at College-sponsored
forums and events, increasing accessibility,
and the addition of the Foss Center for
Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the
James G. Lindell Family Library.
• The city—with all its excitement,
challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Dr. William V. Frame became president
in August 1997 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.
Augsburg also offers graduate and
undergraduate level nursing courses as
well as supporting degree courses through
its Rochester Program based in Rochester,
Minnesota.
Dr. Paul C. Pribbenow became the 11th
president of Augsburg College in July
2006. Under his leadership, the College
aims to educate students of all ages — in
the midst of a great city — to be faithful citizens of the world.
• An Augsburg education should be
preparation for service in community and
church;
• Education should have a solid liberal
arts core with a practical dimension in
order to send out productive, creative, and
successful citizens;
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution
set in the heart of a great metropolitan center.
There are now over 18,000 Augsburg
alumni. In a world that has changed much
since those first days of the College,
Augsburg still sends out graduates who
make a difference where they live and work.
In addition to undergraduate liberal
arts and sciences, Augsburg offers master’s
degree programs in business, education,
leadership, nursing, physician assistant
studies, and social work.
■ WEEKEND COLLEGE
Augsburg’s Weekend College program
provides an educational alternative to
adults who want to complete a baccalaureate degree but who 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.
About Augsburg 13
Weekend College began in 1982 with
69 students taking courses in three majors.
Eight courses were offered in the first term.
Today with approximately 1,000 students
enrolled each term and 19 majors,
Augsburg’s Weekend College is one of the
largest programs of its type among
Minnesota private colleges. Faculty in
Weekend College are full-time Augsburg
professors as well as adjunct faculty who
bring professional experience to their
teaching. The Weekend College student
body is involved in student government,
and students participate in academic and
extracurricular activities such as the student newspaper, travel seminars, and student organizations.
Augsburg Weekend College continues
its tradition of innovation to meet the
needs of the adult and nontraditional student.
The Adult as Learner
Augsburg Weekend College is based on
the assumption that working adult students are mature, self-disciplined, and
motivated learners who seek a combination of classroom experience and individual study. Each course includes periods of
concentrated, on-campus study as well as
time for independent study and class
preparation. Most courses include a Webbased course management site.
Alternate Weekends
To accommodate this learning format,
classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three and a half to four hours on
either Friday evening, Saturday morning,
Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon.
Laboratory sections or additional class
hours may be scheduled during the week.
Weekend College students may take from
one to four courses each term. Selected
courses are also available on weekday
evenings and are open to both day and
Weekend College students. The academic
year for Weekend College is divided into
three trimesters.
A Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s
Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. This community
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
Weekend College students to make use of
College facilities such as Lindell Library
and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and
dramatic presentations and athletic events.
Weekend College Faculty
The heart of any educational institution
is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty
hold the doctorate or other terminal degree
and all consider teaching to be the focus of
their activity at the College. Faculty are
involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support
and are secondary to their teaching.
Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic
faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching
and learning techniques and theories.
Augsburg’s small classes encourage its
tradition of close involvement between
professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in
campus activities.
■ ROCHESTER PROGRAM
Augsburg has established a branch
campus in Rochester, Minnesota. Classes
in Rochester meet on an evening schedule,
making them accessible to working adults.
14 About Augsburg
There are three trimesters in each academic
year. Several complete degree programs are
available through the Rochester campus. In
addition, students may work on a variety
of other majors through a combination of
Rochester-based courses and courses taken
in the day or Weekend College program on
the Minneapolis campus. Students who
enroll in Rochester courses are required to
use technology in the learning and communication process through the online
course management system. Further information may be obtained from the
Rochester program website at
www.augsbur g.edu/rochester> or by call<w
ing the Weekend College Admissions
Office at 612-330-1101.
■ CAMPUS LOCATION
Augsburg’s campus is located in the
heart of the Twin Cities, surrounding
Murphy Square, the first of 170 parks in
Minneapolis, the “City of Lakes.” The
University of Minnesota West Bank campus and one of the city’s largest medical
complexes—Fairview-University Medical
Center—are adjacent to Augsburg, with
the Mississippi River and the Seven
Corners theatre district just a few blocks

Convenient bus routes run throughout
the city and connect with the suburbs.
Augsburg is located just blocks away from

FINANCING YOUR EDUCATION
A
ll students receive financial help
indirectly, since a quality liberal arts education costs more than tuition and fees cover.

from alumni, faculty, staff, parents,
churches, friends, foundations, and endowment income.
However, the primary responsibility for
paying for a college education rests on students and their families. Financial aid is
intended to supplement those resources.

finance charges until paid, is due 60 days

course(s) and receive financial assistance.
Students who wish to withdraw from
Augsburg should complete the Withdrawal
from College form available in the
Enrollment Center. 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

cover administrative costs) in accordance
with the terms of their housing contract
Financial Information 27
and/or the appropriate tuition refund
schedule.
Students are responsible for canceling
courses through the Enrollment Center in
order to be eligible for any refund.
Students who unofficially withdraw (stop
attending) but do not complete the
drop/add form are responsible for all
charges. Financial aid may be adjusted
based on the student’s last recorded date of
attendance. Refund calculations are based
on the date that the drop/add form is
processed.
• The Augsburg College Refund Policy
for Day, Weekend, Rochester, United, and
Graduate Programs:
The refund schedule is based on the
percentage of class time remaining on the
date of the student’s official withdrawal
from class. This applies to all students who
drop one or more courses during each
term.
Percentage of class time remaining
after official drop or withdrawal:
Amount of refund:
100% to 90% remaining
Full refund
(minus $100
administrative
fee)
89% to 50% remaining
Refund equals
the percentage
of term
remaining
49% or less remaining
No refund
This refund schedule is effective
whether or not a student has attended
classes. Please allow two weeks for tuition
and possible financial aid adjustments to
be finalized. If a credit balance remains on
the student’s account, a credit refund check
will be issued at that time.
The refund of charges calculation used
is the Augsburg College Refund Policy stated above.
Students may appeal refund decisions
through the Financial Petition Committee.
Petition forms are available in the
Enrollment Center.
■ MEDICAL REFUND
If a student is forced to withdraw from
one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, the refund will include
the normal refund percentage (based on
the regular refund schedule), plus one-half
of the remaining tuition and fees. This
extra medical refund will be considered
upon submission of documentation from
the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances. Requests
for medical refunds should be made
through the Financial Petition Committee.
■ UNOFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL
Federal regulations require that records
of financial aid recipients who earn failing
grades in all their classes be reviewed. If
courses are not completed (e.g. unofficial
withdrawal, stopped attending), the
College is required to refund financial aid
to the appropriate sources according to
federal or Augsburg refund policies based
on the last recorded date of attendance.
Students are responsible for the entire cost of
the term including the portion previously
covered by financial aid should they stop
attending. Students are strongly urged to
follow guidelines for complete withdrawal
from college. If there are extenuating
circumstances, a petition to have the cost
of tuition refunded can be made. Petition
forms are available in the Enrollment
Center.
28 Financial Information
A student who registers, does not
attend any classes, and does not withdraw
may petition to withdraw retroactively. The
student must petition within six months of
the end of term and provide proof of nonattendance. 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 meeting the academic progress standards outlined in the
brochure “Academic Progress Standards for
Financial Aid.” This brochure is available
from the Enrollment Center and is distributed to students on an annual basis.
Financing higher education could be
the most significant investment a person
or family makes in a lifetime. Proper planning and wise choices are important, not
only in choosing a college, but also in the
methods used to pay for it. Augsburg
College, through its Enrollment Center,
will help students and their families protect access to a quality Augsburg education
in a time of increasing financial challenge.
Financial assistance awarded through
Augsburg may be a combination of
scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time
work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private
agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 2005-2006 academic
year, more than eight out of ten students at
Augsburg received financial assistance.
The primary responsibility for financing
a college education rests upon the student
and family. Financial aid supplements
student and family resources.
The Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA), current tax documents, and Augsburg Verification Worksheet help determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This
analysis takes into account such family

year
■ KINDS 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

addition to these sources, some students
are eligible for aid through Rehabilitation
Services, Educational Assistance for
Veterans, Educational Assistance for
Veterans’ Children, and other sources.

Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford
Loan funds are obtained directly from a

are need-based loans that the federal

and during the grace period.
For the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan,
interest begins accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower is responsible
for all interest. The borrower may choose
to make payments while in school or may
defer payments and allow interest to
accrue and be capitalized (added to the
balance of the loan).
The interest rate for new borrowers
through the Subsidized and Unsubsidized
Stafford Loan will be transitioning to a
fixed rate of 6.8% in July 2006.

STUDENT LIFE
A
ugsburg’s mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense.
Experiences in the classroom are an important part of college life, but learning and
development also occur in formal and
informal activities of the College and the
metropolitan area. Whether students are
residents or commuters, the climate for
learning and living at Augsburg will add
dimension to their education.
CAMPUS MINISTRY .
As a college of the church, we are
concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern
for spiritual growth is evident in the
opportunities we encourage and provide
for students to explore their own faith.
Because our campus is comprised of
individuals from many different religious
and cultural backgrounds, our worship life
is characterized by a similar diversity and
richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth
groups, outreach teams and community
outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and
justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are
examples of the wide variety of activities
on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible
expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to
give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and
musicians. Each Wednesday night students
gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays,
Trinity Lutheran worship services are held
on campus, with many other churches
within walking distance.
We seek to develop a free and open
environment where people are encouraged
to use and discover the gifts and sense of
call and vocation that God has given them.
As a college of the church, we encourage
students to form values guided by our
Christian heritage, which will be the basis
for the kind and quality of life that reaches
beyond their years at Augsburg.
The college pastor, associate college
pastor, and campus ministry staff have
offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center
for Worship, Drama, and Communication
and are available for spiritual guidance,
counseling, support, or information.
VOCATION .
Augsburg College created a program
entitled Exploring Our Gifts through the
generous support of the Lilly Endowment.
Established in Spring 2002, the Exploring
Our Gifts program is designed to help students in their college journey to make connections between faith, vocation, and
work. The program assists students in this
journey by intentionally introducing vocational themes into the curriculum, co-curricular activities, service-learning experiences, and mentoring relationships at the
College. Exploring Our Gifts also provides
resources to encourage students to consider Christian ministry. Contact the director
of Exploring Our Gifts for further information about the program.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT .
Through Student Government, students
secure a closer relationship with and better
understanding of the administration and
faculty and provide input into the decision-making process at Augsburg. Student
Government also sponsors and directs student organizations, protects student rights,
and provides the means for debate and
activism on all issues pertaining to student
life at Augsburg.
Student Life 41
Student Government is organized into
several committees. Elections are held in
the spring for the next year. Freshmen
elect their representatives in the fall of
their first year. Many kinds of involvement
are possible—program planning, writing,
editing, or service opportunities. If you
want to get involved, contact the president
or vice president of the student body in
their offices in the lower level of the
Christensen Center.
CAMPUS ACTIVITIES AND .
ORIENTATION .
The Office of Campus Activities and
Orientation creates opportunities for students to enhance their leadership skills
through active co-curricular involvement.
These events, activities and organizations
serve the campus community by helping
students become connected and invested
in their Augsburg experience.
Orientation programs on campus help
new students to Augsburg College become
familiar with their new surroundings and
the various resources that Augsburg offers
students. Summer Orientation and
Registration (SOAR) is a summer orientation program for entering first-year students where they will receive their class
schedule, meet their orientation leader and
meet new Auggies. Auggie Days is a fourday, fall transition program prior to the
beginning of classes. It is a comprehensive,
educational orientation program dedicated
to helping new first year students become
acclimated to the campus and feel comfortable in their new home. TRANSFERmation
and Spring Begin are transfer and new
beginner orientation programs that take
place in the fall and spring respectively.
SOCIAL, CULTURAL, RECREATIONAL .
Throughout the year, a variety of social
and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These
activities include dances, films, theme
events, speakers, and visiting personalities
in various fields.
The Christensen Center is the hub of
student life on Augsburg’s campus. It houses various offices and services provided for
Augsburg students, staff, and faculty. The
Office of Undergraduate Admissions, Office
of Campus Activities and Orientation,
Event and Classroom Services, the Copy
Center, Shipping and Receiving, Murphy’s
Grill, Information Desk, Barnes and Noble
Bookstore, Sodexho food service, mail services, and Starbucks coffee/lounge are
offices and services that are currently in
the Christensen Center.
The Student Activities Center (known
as the Auggie’s Nest) is located on the garden level of the Christensen Center.
Student organizations have workstations
and lockers to help promote their events,
hold meetings and plan campus-wide programming endeavors. Commuter students
have the opportunity to utilize daily-use
lockers for storage.
■ FINE ARTS
Students have many opportunities to
participate in music and drama. In addition to appearing on campus and in the
city, the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band,
and Orchestra perform on national and
international tours. Many other ensembles
are available to cover the entire range of
musical styles and previous musical experience. Students stage several plays on campus each year under the direction of the
Theatre Arts Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of on-campus
workshops with visiting arts professionals.

GAGE CENTER FOR ACADEMIC.
ACHIEVEMENT.
The Gage Center assists all Augsburg
students in setting and achieving optimal
academic goals here at the College and
beyond. The Center consists of five collaborating units:
Academic Advising
Center for Learning and Adaptive
Student Services (CLASS)
Academic Skills Coaching
TRIO/Student Support Services
Undergraduate Research and Graduate
Opportunity (URGO)
■ ACADEMIC ADVISING
Academic Advising orients new Day
and Weekend College undergraduate students to the academic policies and procedures of the college and assists students on
initial course selection. This office also
provides interpretation of core curriculum
requirements, administers entry-level skill
assessments, interprets graduation requirements, provides degree-planning materials,
and answers questions on student academic progress. Academic Advising functions
as a supplement to the faculty advising system at Augsburg College, and is located in
the Enrollment Center.
Student Life 43
All current students are assigned to a
faculty adviser. Prior to the end of their
sophomore year, when they have completed 12 or more credits, students are
required to declare their major and select a
faculty adviser by filling out a Major
Declaration Form and returning it to the
Enrollment Center. All day students are
required to meet with their assigned faculty adviser prior to registration. Both day
and weekend college students are encouraged to meet with their faculty adviser as
often as is necessary.
■ CENTER FOR LEARNING AND
ADAPTIVE STUDENT SERVICES
(CLASS)
The Center for Learning and Adaptive
Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and academic
support for students with documented
learning, attentional, psychiatric and other
cognitive disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping
these students gain full access to the college curriculum. Its mission is a reflection
of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a
rigorous and challenging, yet supportive,
liberal arts education to students with
diverse backgrounds, preparations, and
experiences.
Students who qualify for assistance
from CLASS work directly with one of our
disability specialists to develop an appropriate educational plan. These plans may
include:
• Accommodations for testing and
classroom (e.g., extended time, notetaking)
• Referrals to other campus resources
(e.g., tutoring, general techn

augsburg in the summer
summer session info
Augsburg College offers a varied summer curriculum that includes courses in 20
academic disciplines as well as internships and independent studies.
Course loads in Summer Session:
Internships: In addition to those listed,
Students may take up to 2.0 credits in
each summer session (sessions I & 11).
However, course loads for terms that
overlap may be increased based on a
student's cumulative GPA (Cum GPA).
Specifically, the combined credit load for
Day/WEC/Rochester/United students
between Spring WEC, Summer Session I
and Summer Online, normally limited to
2.0 credits, may be increased to 3.0 credits
if the Cum GPA is 3.00 or better.
Additionally, the combined load between
Summer Sessions I and I1 and Summer
Online is normally limited to 2.0 credits at
any one time, but may be increased to 3.0
credits if the Cum GPA is 3.00 or better.
Students desiring to exceed these limits
must petition the Student Standing
Committee prior to registration. Unless
otherwise indicated, all courses carry a
value of 1.0 course credit. One Augsburg
course credit is the equivalent of four
semester credits or six quarter credits.
internship opportunities may be arranged
individually during the summer.
Academic internships are carefully
planned workbased learning experiences,
supervised and evaluated by a faculty
member. Consult the Center for Service,
Work, and Learning 612330.1148 for
more information.

WELCOME TO THE AUGSBURG COLLEGE
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
We are pleased that you are interested in the Master of Arts in Education (MAE)
program, which offers teaching licensure within a master's degree. 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.

At Augsburg College you can pursue your dreams of becoming a teacher
while continuing to work. 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.

LICENSURE COMPONENT
The K-6 elementary with a middle school specialty license
allows you to teach in grades K-6 and in your specialty
area of math, science, social studies, or language arts in
middle school. 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.

*Field experience hours are required in these courses. 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.

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.

*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.

be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale and as defined below.
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.

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. No more than two courses will be
accepted for transfer credit.
CREDIT AND CONTACT HOURS
Each full-credit graduate course is the equivalent of four
semester credits or six quarter credits. Students meet in
class a total of 28 hours and are responsible for a
significant amount of individual study and preparation.

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.

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.

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. (72 hours of practice
experience)

costs. Financial aid may also be adjusted for those
students who withdraw from the College or drop one or
more courses and receive financial assistance.

are not necessarily made on a one-to-one basis. For
example, you could receive a 60% tuition refund but

understand the financial consequences of making
adjustments to your registration.]

applied to the student account and all adjustments for
aid, loans, fines, deposits, etc. will be made before
eligibility for a cash refund of any resulting credit balance
is determined. Please allow two weeks for a refund.

WELCOME TO THE AUGSBURG COLLEGE
MASTER OF ARTS IN
LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
Dear Friend:
Welcome to the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program's catalog. Launched
in 1987, the program has been a vital part of the Augsburg College curriculum
ever since.
The MAL program offers students an excellent opportunity to explore leadership
within the context of the liberal arts. The program design broadens the skills and
mindset you need to improve your leadership capabilities in your current and
future positions, as well as in your life.
The MAL program is taught by senior Augsburg faculty from a variety of
disciplines. The faculty are committed to an interdisciplinary approach to leadership studies. Our students
represent a wide array of occupations including business, health care, and the non-profit sector. This diverse
learning community provides a rich environment for you to explore leadership beyond your own realm of
expertise.
Our program will help you develop skills you need to be an effective leader in an ever-changing world. I am
frequently told by students that the program has changed their lives, has sharpened their understanding of
themselves and others, and has opened doors that would otherwise have remained closed. To learn even more
about the program, please visit our Web site at <www.augsburg.edu/mal>.
I would be happy to help you determine how Augsburg's Master of Arts in Leadership program may benefit
you. You may contact me via e-mail at <noonan@augsburg.edu> or by telephone at 612-330-1198. I look
forward to seeing you on campus soon!
Cordially,
Norma C. Noonan, Ph.D.
Director, M.A. in Leadership Program
-
The Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) is the core program of Augsburg's Center for Leadership Studies (CLS).
The MAL program, which was launched in 1987, responds Lo the leadership development needs of both for-profit
and not-for-profit organizations. While different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the
following qualities: a vision that is ethically and morally responsible, extending beyond immediate concerns; an
understanding of how change occurs and affects the immediate environment; a sensitivity to the complex problems
organizations face and an ability to achieve solutions consistent with an organization's mission; the ability to
motivate and inspire individuals and groups to work toward a common goal; and the ability to effectively represent
the organization both internally and externally. The MAL program provides a means by which individuals may
discover and refine these and other abilities fundamental to effective leadership.
Leadership studies is a growing field in American higher education, and the MAL program has significantly
developed and modified its curriculum in response to new trends in the field . The program has a deep theoretical
base in leadership studies yet attempts also to offer its students practical approaches to leadership that can be
applied in the workplace and society.
ACCOMMODATING THE FULL-TIME WORK SCHEDULE
Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL program is based on the assumption that
the students who enroll are career-oriented, self-disciplined, and well-motivated individuals seeking a balance of
classroom experience, group interaction, and individual study. Most courses are organized as seminars with the
opportunity for discussion and dialogue. During the academic year, classes meet on alternate Saturdays for four
hours. A few courses are taught by the immersion model, which has fewer sessions but longer meeting times. Most
courses incorporate some online work into their agenda. MAL students may take up to seven courses during the
calendar year; with that schedule it is possible to complete the degree within two years.
COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS
Essential to the goals of the MAL program is participation in a community of learners gathered on the Augsburg
campus. This community is enriched by the students, who have a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate
community interaction, students are encouraged to make use of the Augsburg library, computer labs, and
Christensen Center. The Center for Leadership Studies also offers special colloquia and seminars each year to
supplement and complement the course work of the master's program.
A SAMPLE CLASS SCHEDULE IN THE MAL PROGRAM
PERIOD I
Saturday
8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon
PERIOD II
Saturday
1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Note: Each class taken commits a student to either Period I or Period II, an average of two meetings a month. A
Jew courses are taught on an immersion model which features fewer but longer sessions.
Augsburg College has two summer sessions. The MAL program usually offers at least two classes during the
summer; the courses are five weeks in duration, meeting normally two nights a week, except for special immersion
courses.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL-AUGSBURG COLLEGE
The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that
1) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources , 2) promotes productivity within and
beyond the organization, and 3) works toward progress for the individual and the organization. To accomplish this ,
individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to
persuade, and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are abilities and awareness, outlined in the
Leadership Development Model, that serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg's model of
leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the individual.

Augsburg uses a course system rather than a credit system in its curriculum. An Augsburg course is equivalent to
four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each course normally includes two or more liberal arts disciplines,
encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes, and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult
learners. Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity.
These techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and
understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the
world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative
abilities.
FINAL PROJECT OPTIONS
There are three ways to complete the MAL degree. In the Thesis/Leadership Application Project (Thesis/LAP) Option
(Plan A), students complete a thesis or a major leadership application project and 10.5 credits. In the Non-Thesis
Option (Plan B), students must complete 11 credits, two papers, but no thesis. For the third option, the
Comprehensive Exam Seminar (Plan C), students complete 11 credits, including the comprehensive exam seminar.
PLAN A: THESIS/LAP OPTION
Students who select the Thesis/LAP Option are required to develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of
leadership or of a leadership-related topic. This research-based study gives the student the opportunity to "tie
together" what has been learned from the study of leadership and course-related activities.
The principal distinction between the thesis and the leadership application project lies in their underlying
orientation. A thesis has a more theoretical orientation, while a leadership application project is based on practical
application. Both require similar rigor and preparation. For either alternative, the student must register for ML 592
and 593 .
For more information regarding the Thesis/LAP Option, refer to the Thesis/LAP and Non-Thesis Project Guidelines
booklet. Students who do not complete their thesis or leadership application project within two years are required to
pay a continuation fee each trimester.
PLAN B: NON-THESIS OPTION
One alternative to the thesis is the successful completion of two major papers. The first of these papers will be written
in conjunction with ML 580. The second paper will be written while enrolled in ML 597 Non-Thesis Independent
Project. The independent research projects approved each year will be presented in an annual colloquium.
For more information regarding the Non-Thesis Option, refer to the Thesis/LAP Project&: Non-Thesis Project
Guidelines booklet. Students who do not complete their independent project within a year of registering for ML 597 are
required to pay a continuation fee each trimester.
PLAN C: COMPREHENSIVE EXAM SEMINAR
The third completion option involves one paper written in conjunction with ML 580 (as in Plan B) and a
Comprehensive Exam Seminar (ML 589). This course must be taken as the last course in the program or in
conjunction with another course during the last term. This course is taken on a pass/fail basis, and when the course
and the oral, written, and take-home examinations are successfully completed, the program requirements will be
satisfied.

The Augsburg College MAL Program Office encourages qualified applicants from other countries. The term
"international student" as used here refers exclusively to those students seeking to study at Augsburg in F-1
nonimmigrant status. Questions pertaining to program eligibility for other immigration categories will be directed to
the appropriate college personnel for a response.
International applicants should keep in mind that classes meet on alternate Saturdays and that students may take only
two classes per trimester plus one in the summer for a yearly total of seven classes. With this schedule, students can
complete the required course work in less than two years.
See Admission Requirements for a description of the admission process and selection criteria. Application materials
required for international students are:
• Completed application form
• $35.00 application fee (non-refundable) payable in U.S. dollars
• A 1-3 page statement relating the applicant's career and life goals to leadership aspirations
• Completed Certification of Finances and supporting documentation which reliably demonstrate that the student has
financial resources adequate to meet expenses while studying at Augsburg
• Letter of recommendation in English from an immediate supervisor assessing leadership potential
• Letter of recommendation in English from a work colleague (at the same level) describing the applicant's work style
and potential as a leader
• Official mark-sheets with certified translations from all undergraduate and graduate institutions attended listing all
courses taken, marks earned, dates attended, and degree(s) or diploma(s) conferred, if any
• Official results on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 600 (paper) or 250
(computer). TOEFL iBT (Internet-based test) minimum scores were not yet available at the time of this catalog's
publication. Please contact the MAL admissions counselor for updated information.
Participants may be asked to participate in a phone or
in-person interview with graduate faculty or staff.
Note: All F-1 international students and their
dependents are required to have adequate health
insurance coverage for the duration of their program.
Students will be enrolled in the College-recommended
plan unless they fill out a waiver verifying proof of
coverage through an alternative provider for the same
period.
EVALUATION STANDARDS
Evaluation of academic performance in the MAL program will be
based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale and as defined below.
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
Achieves the minimum passing standard
1.5
1.0
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 not computed in grade point average)
W
Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record
Performance below basic course standards
Incomplete grade given when student is unable to complete course requirements for reasons beyond the
student's control. (To receive an incomplete, a student must file a petition with the Office of the Registrar
stating reasons for the request and the plan and date for removing the incomplete grade. The signature of the
instructor and any other necessary
documentation must be included.)
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Because leadership issues are presented, discussed,
and analyzed in the classroom, regular attendance is
highly important and should be considered a
responsibility, not only to one's self, but to one's
classmates and 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
MAL Advisory Committee 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 MAL Advisory
Committee. Students may also be dismissed by the
MAL Advisory Committee for behavior detrimental to
the program, such as a gross violation of College policy
(as published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would
occur only after established procedures were followed.
CREDIT FOR PRIOR EDUCATION
Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the courses in the
MAL program, it is unlikely that courses taken
elsewhere may be substituted for a particular course in
the curriculum. Students may petition the MAL program
director for approval of any variation in the curriculum
including the transfer of credit. Transfer credits will be
evaluated on an individual basis. Approved transfer
courses will appear on the student's Augsburg transcript
but will not be counted in the cumulative grade point
average. Semester and quarter credits will be
appropriately converted to Augsburg course credits.
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 MAL program. No more than two courses
will be accepted for transfer credit.
CREDIT AND CONTACT HOURS
Augsburg operates on a course credit system rather
than semester or quarter hours. Each full-credit
graduate course in the MAL program is the equivalent
of four semester credits or six quarter credits. Students
meet a total of 28 hours per course and are responsible
for a significant amount of individual study and
preparation.
MAL PROGRAM ENROLLMENT POLICY
Students may take either one or two courses per
trimester. Enrolling in two courses per trimester
enables a student to complete the coursework in the
program within two years. All students are required to
complete all components of the program within five
years. Extensions beyond five years will be considered
on the basis of petition to the MAL Advisory
Committee. Students who leave the program for more
than one trimester must request a leave of absence in
writing from the MAL program. A leave of absence may
be granted for one calendar year. Students who return
to the program after a leave of one year or more must
fill out an Application for Readmission form and turn
it into the Office of the Registrar. Time spent on an
official MAL-approved leave of absence will not count
toward the five-year deadline for degree completion.
LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW FROM CLASS
MAL follows the Weekend College schedule for the last
date each term on which students may withdraw from
a class and receive a "W" on their records. Please refer
to <www.augsburg.edu/enroll/calendars/weekend!> for
up-to-date information.
STUDENT RIGHTS
The College has adopted a statement of student rights
and responsibilities and has provided for due process
in the matter of disciplinary action , grievances, and
grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg College
Catalog and the Student Guide. Students have a right to experience
education without discrimination.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as
amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education
records . Augsburg's policy is published in the Augsburg College Catalog
and in the Student Guide.
Augsburg College understands that no information other than
"directory information" can be released without the written
permission of the student. Students must give permission in writing
for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the
official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. This
means that faculty or others cannot write letters of
support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless
explicit written permission is given by the student to release non"directory information." It is not sufficient to ask for letters of
recommendation.
ACCREDITATION AND AFFILIATIONS
Students who successfully complete Augsburg's leadership program will receive a Master of Arts degree. Augsburg is
accredited by The Higher Leaming Commission, North Central Association* and is a member of the Associated Colleges of
the Twin Cities (ACTC), Lutheran Education Council in North America, and the Minnesota Private College Council.
Augsburg College is registered with the Minnesota Higher Education Services Office. Registration is not an endorsement of
the institution. Registration does not mean that credits earned at the institution can be transfened to other institutions or
that the quality of the educational programs would meet the standards of every student, educational institution, or
employer.
*The Higher Learning Commission, North Central Association, <www.ncahigherlearningcommi.ssion.org>.
-
A schedule of fees is published separately in the MAL
Catalog Supplement. Tuition is determined annually.
ML 593 is a half-credit course for which half of the
current full credit tuition is charged.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
Various payment plans are available:
1) Payment in Full:
Payment is due after registration and before the
beginning of the trimester. No finance or
administrative fee is charged for payments made
during this period. The late payment fee is $25. A
finance charge of 8% APR will apply toward any
unpaid balance after the start of the term.
2) Payment Plan:
A three-payment plan is available each trimester
upon application and after College approval.
Payment plans will be approved only if previous
plans have been satisfactorily completed. Payments
for each trimester are due in three equal
installments. There is an administrative fee of $50
per trimester. There is no finance charge if
payment is made in full by end of the payment
plan. The late payment fee is $25. A finance charge
of 8% APR will apply if not paid in full by the end
of the payment plan period.
3)
Company Reimbursement:
Full courses, or equivalent, that are company
reimbursed require a deposit of $100 per course
reimbursed, with full payment due within 50 days
after the end of the term. An application for the
Employer Reimbursement Payment Plan must be
filed once each academic year. The student is
responsible for payment if the employer does not
pay for any reason. A finance charge of 8% APR
will accrue on the deferred balance once the term
has begun.
Registration is permitted only if the student's
account for a previous term is paid in full as
agreed. Augsburg College will not release diplomas
1r academic transcripts until a student's account is
,>aid in full. This also applies to student loans
administered by the College (e.g., Perkins Student
; Jan). They must be current according to
established repayment schedules.
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 (except for the
minimum charge of $100 to cover administrative
costs). Financial aid may also be adjusted for those
students who withdraw from the College or drop one
or more courses and receive financial assistance.
[NOTE: Tuition refunds and financial aid
adjustments are not necessarily made on a one-to-one
basis. For example, you could receive a 60% tuition
refund but have 80% of your financial aid returned.
Be sure you understand the financial consequences of
making adjustments to your registration.]
Students are responsible for canceling courses through
the Enrollment Center in order to be eligible for any
refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop
attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are
responsible for all charges. Financial aid may be
adjusted based on the student's last recorded date of
attendance. Refund calculations are based on the date
that the drop/add form is processed.
The refund schedule is effective whether or not a
student has attended classes. All refunds of charges will
be applied to the student account and all adjustments
for aid, loans, fines, deposits, etc. will be made before
eligibility for a cash refund of any resulting credit
balance is determined. Please allow two weeks for a
refund.
The refund is a percentage of the full tuition charged,
not a percentage of any deposit paid toward tuition,
e.g. deposits made under the employer reimbursement
payment plan.
For information about refunds and the refund
schedule, visit <www.augsburg.edu/enrolb.
Financial assistance is available to degree-seeking
students enrolled in the MAL program. Non-degreeseeking students are not eligible for any type of
financial aid through Augsburg College. Two full-credit
courses per trimester are considered full time. One
course is considered half-time enrollment. The
Enrollment Center (612-330-1046, or 1-800-458-1721,
or <www.augsburg.edu/enrolb) assists students in
assessing financial aid eligibility and offers financial aid
from available alternatives, including the following:
SPONSORED SCHOLARSHIPS
Augsburg actively pursues non-Augsburg funding for
special scholarships. The availability of such
scholarships may enable the participation of
individuals of limited financial means as well as
individuals working for volunteer agencies and other
organizations not likely to provide tuition
reimbursement
COMPANY TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
Many companies, agencies, and corporations offer full
or partial tuition assistance to employees who
participate in work-related or degree-related college
programs. Augsburg College offers a payment plan by
which employees may handle tuition reimbursement.
Students should contact the Enrollment Center to
make payment arrangements using the company
reimbursement payment plan.
TRIBAL AND STATE INDIAN SCHOLARSHIPS
American Indian students who meet federal, state, or
tribal requirements may apply for these scholarships.
Indian grants generally supplement other sources of
financial aid. For assistance in application, contact
Augsburg's American Indian Student Services Program
director at 612-330-1144 or your tribal agency.

A
Selection from over 50 majors
t Augsburg College, we believe that
the college experience should be a time of
exploration, of discovery, of new experiences, and new possibilities. We also
believe that a liberal arts education is the
best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of
today and tomorrow. Augsburg graduates
will be able to demonstrate not only the
mastery of a major field of study, but also
the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively.
Augsburg offers more than 50 major*
or you can create your own major, either
on campus or through the Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See
page 58 for a complete list of majors and
minors.) This five-college consortium
allows day program students to take courses on other campuses without charge while
a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC
includes Augsburg College, the College of
St. Catherine, Hamline University,
Macalester College, and the University of
St. Thomas.
Discovering your gifts and talents
The Weekend College Program offers
18 majors.
The heart of an Augsburg education is
the Augsburg Core Cumculum- 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.
Students who graduate from Augsburg
are well prepared to make a difference in
the world. They stand as testaments to the
College motto, "Education for Service,"
and to the mission of the College:
"To nurture future leaders in service to
the world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in
the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and
values of the Christian church, by the
context of a vital metropolitan setting, and
by an intentionally diverse campus community."
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America,
named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in
1530. Augsburg opened in September
1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved
to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first
graduation was in 1879.

About Augsburg 11
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
The Focus Changed
August Weenaas was Augsburg's first
president (1869-1876).
This attitude began to change after
World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup,Jr.
became president. He worked to develop
college departments with an appeal to a
broader range of students than just those
intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of
Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She
spent the next 42 years at the College as a
teacher and administrator.
Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway-Sven Oftedal and Georg
Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate
Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students for theological study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part
plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students;
and third, educate the farmer, worker, and
businessman. The statement stressed that a
good education is also practical.
Augsburg's next two presidents also
emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts
of education. This commitment to church
and community has been Augsburg's theme
for over 130 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the democratic
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second
president (1876-19071, required students
to get pre-ministerial experience in city
congregations. Student involvement in the
community gave early expression to the
concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education
for Service."
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed
the Friends of Augsburg, later called the
Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and
personal Christianity This change made
Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body The college division, however, was still important
primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The College's mission assumed a double character-ministerial preparation
together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected
Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and
scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and
civic circles made Augsburg a more visible
part of church and city life.
After World War 11, Augsburg leaders
made vigorous efforts to expand and improve
academic offerings. Now the College was a
larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential
to a liberal arts college, offering a modem
college program based on general education requirements and elective majors.
With curriculum change came a long effort
to become accredited.
The College reached accreditation in
1954, although many alumni had entered
graduate schools and teaching positions
long before that time.
A study in 1962 defined the College's
mission as serving the good of society first
and the interests of the Lutheran Free
Church second. The seminary moved to
Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther
Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the
Lutheran Free Church merged with the
American Lutheran Church.
12 About Augsburg
A College in the City
President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on
involvement with the city. He wanted to
reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for
all people. During his years of leadership
the College became a vital and integral part
of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg
added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall,
Urness Hall, the Christensen Center, Ice
Arena, and Murphy Place.
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders
who believed:
Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College
from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg's
commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in
enrollment and programs, and a cumculum that draws on the resources of the city
as extensions of campus and classroom.
Some of the accomplishments during his
tenure include instituting two graduate
degree programs, hosting national and
international figures at College-sponsored
forums and events, increasing accessibility,
and the addition of the Foss Center for
Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the
James G. Lindell Family Library.
The city-with all its excitement,
challenges, and diversity-is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Dr. William \! Frame became president
in August 1997. Under his leadership, the
College has 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.
Augsburg also offers graduate and
undergraduate level nursing courses as
well as supporting degree courses through
its Rochester Program based in Rochester,
Minnesota.
An Augsburg education should be
preparation for service in community and
church;
Education should have a solid liberal
arts core with a practical dimension in
order to send out productive, creative, and
successful citizens;
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution
set in the heart of a great metropolitan center.
There are now almost 18,000 Augsburg
alumni. In a world that has changed much
since those first days of the College,
Augsburg still sends out graduates who
make a difference where they live and work.
In addition to undergraduate liberal
arts and sciences Augsburg offers master's
degree programs in business, education,
leadership, nursing, physician assistant
studies, and social work.
WEEKEND COLLEGE
Augsburg's Weekend College program
provides an educational alternative to
adults who desire college experience but
who work or have other commitments
during the week. It is a means by which
men and women may earn a baccalaureate
degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change or pursue a personal interest in one or more
areas of the liberal arts.
--
About Augsburg 13
Weekend College began in 1982 with
69 students taking courses in three majors.
Eight courses were offered in the first term.
Today with approximately 1,000 students
enrolled each term and 18 majors,
Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest
program of this type among Minnesota private colleges. Faculty in Weekend College
are full-time Augsburg professors as well as
adjunct professionals. The Weekend
College student body is involved in student government, and students participate
in academic and extracurricular activities
such as the student newspaper, travel seminar, and student organizations.
A Community of Learners
Augsburg Weekend College continues
to develop to meet the needs of the adult
and nontraditional student.
The heart'of any educational institution
is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty
hold the doctorate or other terminal degree
and all consider teaching to be the focus of
their activity at the College. Faculty are
involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support
and are secondary to their teaching. They
are actively involved in a dynamic faculty
development program that introduces
them to current thought in many fields,
but especially in teaching and learning
techniques and theories.
The Adult as Learner
Augsburg Weekend College is based on
the assumption that students who enroll in
the program will be mature, self-disciplined and motivated learners who seek a
combination of classroom experience and
individual study. Each course is divided
into periods of concentrated on-campus
study separated by time for independent
study and class preparation.
Alternate Weekends
To accommodate this learning format,
classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three and one-half hours on either
Friday evening, Saturday morning,
Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon.
Laboratory sections or additional class
hours may be scheduled during the week.
Weekend College students may take from
one to four courses each term. Selected
courses are also available on weekday
evenings and are open to both day and
Weekend College students. The academic
year for Weekend College is divided into
three trimesters.
Essential to the goals of Augsburg's
Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. This community
is enriched by the presence of men and
women with a variety of work and life
experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages
Weekend College students to make use of
College facilities such as Lindell Library
and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and
dramatic presentations and athletic events.
Weekend College Faculty
Augsburg's size and small classes
encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students.
Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.
ROCHESTER PROGRAM
Augsburg has established a branch
campus in Rochester, Minnesota. Classes
in Rochester meet on an evening or weekend schedule, making them accessible to
working adults. There are three trimesters
in each academic year, following the same
schedule as the Weekend College program.

Notification of Admissions Decision
-Augsburg College uses a "rolling"
admissions plan. Students are notified of
the admission decision, usually within two
weeks after the application file is complete
and has been evaluated by the Admissions
Committee.
Admission to a major, as well as admission to the College, is sometimes necessary.

admission to the major is required.
W TRANSFER STUDENTS
Augsburg College welcomes students
who wish to transfer from other colleges or
universities. College credit is granted for
liberal arts courses completed at regionally
accredited institutions with a grade of
2.O/C or better. Augsburg does not grant
credit for developmental courses, technical
courses, or courses with grades below
Z.O/C. The College reserves the right to
require that certain courses be taken at
Augsburg.
Augsburg operates on a course credit
system rather than semester or quarter
hours. Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter
hours. Transfer credits from semester or
quarter hour institutions are converted to
Augsburg credits by dividing by four or
six, respectively.
Augsburg College limits transfer credits
from two-year colleges. Students may
transfer a maximum of 64 semester credits
(96 quarter credits) from two-year colleges.
Once a student reaches these credit limits,
no additional credits will transfer from
two-year institutions toward the 32
Augsburg credits required for a baccalaureate degree. Courses taken beyond the credit limit can, however, be used to meet liberal arts and major requirements. Augsburg
students should consult with their faculty
adviser and the Office of the Registrar
before taking courses at other institutions.
A cumulative grade point average
(GPA) of at least 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) in
previous college work is recommended for
admission to the College.
The evaluation of transfer credits is
completed by the Office of the Registrar
and is based on a student's official transcripts. The registrar's office evaluates
coursework for credit and for applicability
toward Augsburg Core Curriculum
requirements. Academic departments are
responsible for evaluating the applicability
of coursework toward a student's major or
minor. The major or minor department
may require certain courses or a minimum
number of courses be taken at Augsburg.
Students transferring from the
Minnesota State College and University
System who have completed the Minnesota
Transfer Curriculum, have earned the
Associate of Arts degree from MNSCU, and
have a 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) cumulative GPA
or higher will be given transfer status as
outlined below.
The following applies only to the
MNSCU A.A. graduate:
1. Admission will be with junior standing following the Minnesota Transfer
Curriculum. A maximum of 16 Augsburg
equivalent credits (64 semester credits or
96 quarter credits from a community college) will be accepted. No additional credits may be transferred from a community
college.
2. All Augsburg Core Curriculum
requirements will be waived except:
REL 300 Bible, Christian Theology,
and Vocation Course
Senior Keystone Course

Writing Graduation Skill requirement
HPE 001 Foundations of Fitness or
one HPE lifetime activity course
(depending on transcript assessment).
This requirement is waived for students who have transferred two
equivalent courses
3. Courses with D grades will not be
accepted as prerequisites or for application
to majors. Some Augsburg majors require
additional prerequisite coursework beyond
the A.A. degree. Students are advised to
consult major departments for major
requirements upon transfer.
Admission to a major, as well as admission to the College, is sometimes necessary.
Please check with the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions and consult the
departmental section of this catalog.
Note: No student who falls below the
standards for automatic admission to the
College will be considered for admission
by the Admissions Committee after August
15 for entry in fall semester or December
15 for entry in spring semester.
FORMER STUDENTS
Students who have interrupted attendance at Augsburg College for one semester or more without requesting a leave of
absence and who wish to return must
apply for re-admission through the registrar's office. Students who have attended
other institution(s) during their absence
from Augsburg must have an official tran-
script sent from each institution to the
Office of the Registrar. Returning students
do not pay the application fee.
SPECIAL STUDENTS
(NON-DECREE)
In some circumstances, people may be
admitted as special students (non-degree)
and granted the privilege of enrolling in
courses for credit. Students may request a
change in their degree status by submitting
a.petition to the registrar's office.
Students regularly enrolled at another
college may take coursework at Augsburg
College as a special student (non-degree).
An application form for special-student
status is available from the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions. To apply for
admission as a special student, submit the
completed admission application and academic transcripts to the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions.
Students who have graduated from
Augsburg who are returning to complete a
second major will not be awarded a second
degree unless it is a different degree from
the first awarded. Minors are not noted on
the transcript if they are completed after a
baccalaureate degree has been awarded.
SPECIAL STUDENTS
(SECOND DECREE)
Students who have completed a
four-year degree at an accredited college
or university may complete a second
degree at Augsburg College. Second degree
requirements include: a minimum of eight
course credits taken at Augsburg, completion of a major, and completion of any
liberal arts requirements not covered by
a previous degree.
Depending on the student's previous
degree, completion of a second major
(non-degree) may also be an option.

churches, friends, foundations, and endowment income.

Financing higher education could be
the most significant investment a person
or family makes in a lifetime. Proper planning and wise choices are important, not
only in choosing a college, but also in the
methods used to pay for it. Augsburg
College, through its Enrollment Center,
will help students and their families protect access to a quality Augsburg education
in a time of increasing financial challenge.
Financial assistance awarded through
Augsburg may be a combination of
scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time
work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private
agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 2003-2004 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

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

xperiences in the classroom are an
important part of college life, but learning
and develo~ment"'0 occur in formal and
informal activities of the Colleg'e and the
metropolitan area. Whether students are
residents or commuters, the climate for
learning and living at Augsburg will add
dimension to their education.
As a college of the church, we are
concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern
for spiritual growth is evident in the
opportunities we encourage and provide
for students to explore their own faith.
Because our campus is comprised of
individuals from many different religious
and cultural backgrounds, our worship life
is characterized by a similar diversity and
richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth
groups, outreach teams and community
outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and
justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are
examples of the wide variety of activities
on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible
expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to
give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and
musicians. Each Wednesday night students
gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays,
Trinity Lutheran worship services are held
on campus, with many other churches
within walking distance.
We seek to develop a free and open
environment where people are encouraged
to use and discover the gifts and sense of
call and vocation that God has given them.
As a college of the church, we encourage
students to form values guided by our
Christian heritage, which will be the basis
for the kind and quality of life that reaches
beyond their years at Augsburg.
The college pastor, associate college
pastor, and campus ministry staffhave
officesin the F ~~ ~~ b
~~ ~, i Center
~ kl , ~
for Worship, Drama, and Communication
and are available for spiritual guidance,
counseling, support, or information.
Augsburg College created a program
entitled Exploring Our Gifts through the
generous support of the Lilly Endowment.
in Spring 2002, the Exploring
Our Gifts program is designed to help students in their college journey to make connections between faith, vocation, and
work. The program assists students in this
journey by intentionally introducing vocational themes into the curriculum, co-curricular activities, service-learning experiences, and mentoring relationships at the
College. Exploring Our Gifts also provides
resources to encourage students to explore
Christian ministry Contact the director of
Exploring Our Gifts for further information about the program.
Through Student Government, students
secure a closer relationship with and better
understanding of the administration and
faculty and provide input into the decision-making process at Augsburg. Student
Government also sponsors and directs student organizations, protects student rights,
and provides the means for discussions
and action on all issues pertaining to student life at Augsburg.
Student Government is organized into
several committees. Elections are held in
the spring for the next year. Freshmen
elect their representatives in the fall of
their first year. Many kinds of involvement
are possible-program planning, writing,
editing, or service opportunities. If you
want to get involved, contact the president
or vice president of the student body in
their offices in the lower level of the
Christensen Center.
The Student Activities Program creates
opportunities for students to enhance their
leadership skills through active involvement in developing events, activities, and
organizations that serve the student community. Hundreds of major programming
efforts and targeted activities for specific
student interests are generated through
these efforts and make Augsburg a dynamic and enjoyable interactive environment.
Throughout the year, a variety of social
and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These
activities include dances, films, theme
events, speakers, and visiting personalities
in various fields.
The Christensen Center is the focus of
leisure-time activity on campus. Cooper's
Attic (student lounge) is a popular hangout located in the lower level. Many of the
clubs that unite classroom and non-classroom related interests meet here. Student
offices in this area include the College
newspaper, the Echo; the yearbook, The
Augsburgian; Student Government; the
community senrice organization, the LINK;
and the Augsburg Student Activities
Council (ASAC).

IN LEADERSHIP
INTRODUCTION
The primary mission of the Center for Leadership Studies (CLS) at Augsburg
College is to develop leaders for organizations and the community. The core
program of the center is the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL). The
program, which was launched in 1987, responds to the leadership
development needs of both profit and not-for-profit organizations. While
different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the
following qualities: a vision that is ethically and morally responsible,
extending beyond immediate concerns; an understanding of how change
occurs and affects the immediate environment; a sensitivity to the complex
problems organizations face and an ability to achieve solutions consistent
with an organization's mission; the ability to motivate and inspire individuals
and groups to work toward a common goal; and the ability to effectively
represent the organization both internally and externally. The MAL program
provides a means by which individuals may discover and refine these and
other abilities fundamental to effective leadership.
ACCOMMODATING THE FULL-TIME WORK SCHEDULE
Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL
program is based on the assumption that the students who enroll are careeroriented, self-disciplined, and well-motivated individuals, seeking a balance
of classroom experience, group interaction, and individual study. Most
courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for discussion and
dialogue. Classes meet on alternate Saturdays for four hours.
COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS
Essential to the goals of the MAL program is participation in a community of
learners gathered together on the Augsburg campus. This community is
enriched by the students, who have a variety of work and life experiences. To
facilitate community interaction, students are encouraged to make use of the
Augsburg library, computer labs , and Christensen Center. The Center for
Leadership Studies also offers some special colloquia and seminars each year
to supplement and complement the course work of the master's program.
A SAMPLE CLASS SCHEDULE IN THE MAL PROGRAM
PERIOD I
Saturday
8:00 a.m . to 12:00 noon
PERIOD II
Saturday
1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Note: Each class taken commits a student to either Period I or Period II;
on average two meetings a month.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL-AUGSBURG COLLEGE
The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that
1) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes productivity within and
beyond the organization, and 3) works toward progress for the individual and the organization. To accomplish this,
individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to
persuade, and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are a broad range of abilities and awareness,
outlined in the Leadership Development Model, that serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg's
model of leadership development is designed to assess , promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the
individual.

There are two ways to complete the MAL degree. In the Thesis/Leadership Application Project (Thesis/ LAP) Option,
students complete a thesis or a major leadership application project and 10.5 credits. In the Non-Thesis Option,
students must complete 11 credits, two papers, but no thesis.
Augsburg uses a course system rather than a credit system in its curriculum. An Augsburg course is equivalent to
four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each course includes two or more liberal arts disciplines, encourages
pursuit of the designated outcomes and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners.
Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity. These
techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and
understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the
world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative
abilities.
THESIS/LAP OPTION
Students who select the Thesis/LAP Option are required to develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of
leadership or of a leadership-related topic. This research-based study gives the student the opportunity to "tie
together" what has been learned from the study of leadership and course-related activities.
The principal distinction between the thesis and the Leadership Application Project lies in their underlying
orientation. A thesis has a more theoretical orientation, while the Leadership Application Project is based on practical
application. Both require similar rigor and preparation. For either alternative, the student must register for ML 592,
593, and 594. Differences between these two options will be explored in ML 514 Research Methods and in ML 593
Leadership Research Seminar I.
For more information regarding the Thesis/LAP option, refer to the Information and Guidelines for the Thesis and
Leadership Application Project booklet.
Students who do not complete their thesis or Leadership Application Project while enrolled in ML 594 Leadership
Research Seminar II are required to pay a continuation fee.
-
NON-THESIS OPTION
An alternative to the thesis is the successful completion of two major papers, as described below. The first of these
papers will be written in conjunction with ML 580. The second paper will be written while enrolled in ML 597 NonThesis Independent Project. The independent research projects approved each year will be presented in an annual
colloquium. Students who do not complete their independent project while enrolled in ML 597 are required to pay a
continuation fee.
For more information regarding the Non-Thesis option, refer

EVALUATION STANDARDS
Evaluation of academic performance in the MAL program will
be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale and as defined
below.
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
Achieves the minimum passing standard
1.0
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 non-punitive-not computed in grade point average)
W
Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record
Incomplete grade given when student is unable to complete course requirements for reasons beyond the
student's control. (To receive an incomplete, a student must file a petition with the MAL Program Office
stating reasons for the request, the plan
and date for removing the incomplete
grade, the signature of the instructor, and
any other necessary documentation.)
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Because leadership issues are presented, discussed
and analyzed in the classroom, regular attendance is
highly important and should be considered a
responsibility, not only to one's self, but to one's
classmates and 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
MAL Advisory Committee 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 MAL Advisory
Committee. Students may also be dismissed by the
MAL Advisory Committee for behavior detrimental to
the program, such as a gross violation of college policy
(as published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would
occur only after established procedures were followed.
CREDIT FOR PRIOR EDUCATION
Due to the interdisciplinaiy nature of the courses in the
MAL program, it is unlikely that courses taken
elsewhere may be substituted for a particular course in
the curriculum. Students may petition the MAL 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 MAL program. No more than two courses
will be accepted for transfer credit.
CREDIT AND CONTACT HOURS
Each full-credit graduate course in the MAL program is
the equivalent of four semester credits or six quarter
credits. Students meet in class a total of 28 hours and
are responsible for a significant amount of individual
study and preparation.
ENROLLMENT POLICY/ LEAVES OF ABSENCE
Students may take either one or two courses per
trimester. Enrolling in two courses per trimester
enables a student to complete the coursework in the
program within two years. All students are required to
complete all components of the program within five
years. Extensions beyond five years will be considered
on the basis of petition to the MAL Advisory
Committee. Students who leave the program for more
than one trimester must request a leave of absence in
writing from the MAL program. A leave of absence may
be granted for one calendar year. Time spent on an
official leave of absence will not count toward the fiveyear deadline for degree completion.
LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW FROM CLASS
The last date on which students may withdraw from a
class and receive a "W" on their records is published
annually in the MAL Supplement.
STUDENT RIGTHS
The College has adopted a statement of student rights
and responsibilities and has provided for due process
in the matter of disciplinary action, grievances, and
grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg College
-
Catalog and the Student Guide. Students have a right to experience
education without discrimination.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as
amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education
records. Each year Augsburg is required to give notice on the various
rights accorded to students pursuant to FERPA. A copy of Augsburg's
policy is published in the Augsburg College Catalog and in the
Studertt Guide distributed to students.
Augsburg College understands that no information other than
"directory information" can be released without the written
permission of the student. Students must give permission in writing
for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the
official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. This
means that faculty or others cannot write letters of
support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless
explicit written permission is given by the student to release non"directory information." It is not sufficient to ask for letters of
recommendation.
Complete information about Augsburg's procedures with regard to
FERPA are available from the registrar's office.
ACCREDITATION AND AFFILIATIONS
Students who successfully complete Augsburg's leadership program will receive a Master of Arts degree. Augsburg is
accredited by The Higher Leaming Commission, North Central Association* and is a member of the Associated Colleges of
the Twin Cities (ACTC), Lutheran Education Council in North America, and the Minnesota Private College Council.
Augsburg College is registered with the
Minnesota Higher Education Services
Office. Registration is not an endorsement
of the institution. Registration does not
mean that credits earned at the institution
can be transferred to other institutions or
that the quality of the educational
programs would meet the standards of
every student, educational institution or
employer.

a refund.
-
The refund is a percentage of the full tuition charged,
not a percentage of any deposit paid toward tuition,
e.g. deposits made under the employer reimbursement
payment plan.

presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530.
Augsburg opened in September 1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin,
and moved to Minneapolis in 1872.
CAMPUS LOCATION
Augsburg's campus is located in the heart of the Twin Cities,
surrounding Murphy Square, the first of 155 parks in the "City
of Lakes." The University of Minnesota West Bank campus and
one of the city's largest medical complexes-Fairview
University Medical Center-are adjacent to Augsburg, with the
Mississippi River and the Seven Corners theatre district just a
few blocks away.

most accessible campuses in the region. Skyways, tunnels, and
elevators provide accessible connections among major
buildings-student housing towers, the Christensen Center,
main academic and administrative halls, the library, and the
music building. In addition, there are programs for students
with learning, physical, and psychiatric disabilities.
CHURCH AFFILIATION
Augsburg is a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church
in America. It has a diverse community with many strong
religious traditions represented among the students, faculty,
and staff, including Lutheran, Protestant, Roman Catholic,
Jewish, American Indian spirituality and thought, Buddhist,
and Islamic faiths.

discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national
or ethnic origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status,
status with regard to public assistance, or disability in its
education policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan
programs, athletic and/or school administered programs, except
in those instances where religion is a bona fide occupational
qualification. Augsburg College is committed to providing
reasonable accommodations to its employees and students.

from the President
I hope you are looking at this catalog
because you've enrolled at Augsburg College.
If so, welcome! All of us hope you find, in the
course of your study, a rising enthusiasm for the
work, a clariifylng definition of the vocation to
which you feel called, and a confident satisfaction
that you have rightly chosen Augsburg as the
community in which you will spend time for the
next several years.
If you're dipping into this volume to
find out about Augsburg College and the
education it offers, welcome to these pages! May
E
they convey the fundamental character of our
6
mission: to provide an education especially
serviceable in the contemporary world because it has been designed in the midst of and in full
contact with the critical social, economic, religious, and political phenomena of the modern city.
This education, however practical and professional, will be serviceable over the long haul only to
the degree that it respects and pursues certain of what Martin Luther called "the fine liberal
arts," and it will be exciting to the degree it is offered for the sake of improving both its
students and the world itself.

t Augsburg
- - College, we believe that
the college
experience
should be a time of
- exploration, of discovery, of new experiences, and new possibilities. We also
believe that a liberal arts education is your
best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of
today and tomorrow. Upon graduation, you
will be able to demonstrate not only the
mastery of a major field of study, but also
the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively.
Selection from over 50 majors
Augsburg offers more than 50 major*
or you can create your own major either
on campus or through the Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See
page 58 for a complete list of majors and
minors.) This five-college consortium
allows day program students to take courses on other campuses without charge while
a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC
includes Augsburg College, College of St.
Catherine, Hamline University, Macalester
College, and the University of St. Thomas.
Through the Weekend College
Program, 17 majors are offered.
Emphasis on values, perspectives,
experience, and skills
The heart of an Augsburg education is
the Augsburg curriculum-the College's
general education program, which structures your liberal arts studies through challenging and thought-provoking courses
requiring students to consider important
issues and examine values questions. These
Liberal Arts Perspectives include Western
Heritage, Intercultural Awareness, Human
Identity, the Social World, Christian Faith,
The City Aesthetics, and the Natural World.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve you
for a lifetime-writing, speaking, critical
thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to
name a few.
Thanks to Augsburg's prime location in
the heart of a thriving metropolitan area,
many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense,
the resources of the Twin Cities are an
extended campus for Augsburg students.
Students who graduate from Augsburg
are well prepared to make a difference in
the world. They stand as testaments to the
College motto, "Education for Service,"
and to the mission of the College:
"To nurture future leaders in service to
the world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in
the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and
values of the Christian church, by the
context of a vital metropolitan setting, and
by an intentionally diverse campus community"
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America,
named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in
1530. Augsburg opened in September
1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved
to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first
graduation was in 1879.

About Augsburg 11
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
The Focus Changed
August Weenaas was Augsburg's first
president (1869-1876).
This attitude began to change after
World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup,Jr.
became president. He worked to develop
college depaments with an appeal to a
broader range of students than just those
intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of
Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She
spent the next 42 years at the College as a
teacher and administrator.
Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway-Sven Oftedal and Georg
Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate
Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students for theological study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part
plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students;
and third, educate the farmer, worker, and
businessman. The statement stressed that a
good education is also practical.
Augsburg's next two presidents also
emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts
of education. This commitment to church
and community has been Augsburg's theme
for over 130 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist"
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second
president (1876- 1907), required students
to get pre-ministerial experience in city
congregations. Student involvement in the
community gave early expression to the
concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education
for Service."
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed
the Friends of Augsburg, later called the
Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and
personal Christianity This change made
Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body The college division, however, was still important
primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The College's mission assumed a double character-ministerial preparation
together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected
Bemhard Christensen, an erudite and
scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and
civic circles made Augsburg a more visible
part of church and city life.
After World War 11, Augsburg leaders
made vigorous efforts to expand and improve
academic offerings. Now the College was a
larger part of the institution than the serninary and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential
to a liberal arts college, offering a modem
college program based on general education requirements and elective majors.
With curriculum change came a long effort
to become accredited.
The College reached accreditation in
1954, although many alumni had entered
graduate schools and teaching positions
long before that time.
A study in 1962 defined the College's
mission as serving the good of society first
and the interests of the Lutheran Free
Church second. The seminary moved to
Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther
Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the
Lutheran Free Church merged with the
American Lutheran Church.
12 About Augsburg
A College in the City
President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on
involvement with the city. He wanted to
reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for
all people. During his years of leadership
the College became a vital and integral part
of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg
added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall,
Urness Hall, the Christensen Center, Ice
Arena, and Murphy Place.
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders
who believed:
Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College
from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg's
commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in
enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the city
as extensions of campus and classroom.
Some of the accomplishments during his
tenure include instituting two graduate
degree programs, hosting national and
international figures at College-sponsored
forums and events, increasing accessibility,
and the addition of the Foss Center for
Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the
James G. Lindell Family Library.
The city-with all its excitement,
challenges, and diversity-is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Dr. William V Frame became president
in August 1997. Under his leadership, the
college has 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.
In 1999, a new apament-style student
residence opened. Major renovation of
Sverdrup Hall created space for the
Enrollment Center, h e Women's Resource
Center, and the Honors Program Suite. A
skyway link connects Sverdrup Hall to
Lindell Library.
An Augsburg education should be
preparation for service in community and
church;
Education should have a solid liberal
arts core with a practical dimension in
order to send out productive, creative, and
successful citizens;
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution
set in the heart of a great metropolitan center.
There are now almost 18,000 Augsburg
alumni. In a world that has changed much
since those first days of the College,
Augsburg still sends out graduates who
make a difference where they live and work.
In addition to undergraduate liberal
arts and sciences Augsburg offers master's
degree programs in social work, leadership,
nursing, physician assistant studies, and
education.
Augsburg also offers graduate and
undergraduate level nursing courses as
well as supporting degree courses through
its Rochester Program based in Rochester,
Minnesota.
WEEKEND COLLEGE
Augsburg's Weekend College program
provides an educational alternative to
adults who desire college experience but
who work or have other commitments
during the week. It is a means by which
men and women may earn a baccalaureate
degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change or pursue a personal interest in one or more
areas of the liberal arts.

About Augsburg 13
Weekend College began in 1982 with
69 students taking courses in three majors.
Eight courses were offered in the first term.
Today with more than 1,000 students
enrolled each term and 17 majors,
Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest
program of this type among Minnesota private colleges. Faculty in Weekend College
are full-time Augsburg professors as well as
adjunct professionals. The Weekend
College student body is involved in student government, and students participate
in academic and extracurricular activities
such as the student newspaper, travel seminar, and student organizations.
Augsburg Weekend College continues
to develop to meet the needs of the adult
and nontraditional student.
The Adult as Learner
Augsburg Weekend College is based on
the assumption that students who enroll in
the program will be mature, self-disciplined and motivated learners who seek a
combination of classroom experience and
individual study. Each course is divided
into periods of concentrated on-campus
study separated by time for independent
study and class preparation.
Alternate Weekends
To accommodate this learning format,
classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three and one-half hours on either
Friday evening, Saturday morning,
Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon.
Laboratoly sections or additional class
hours may be scheduled during the week.
Weekend College students may take from
one to four courses each term. Selected
courses are also available on weekday
evenings and are open to both day and
Weekend College students. The academic
year for Weekend College is divided into
three trimesters.
A Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg's
Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. This community
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
Weekend College students to make use of
College facilities such as Lindell Library
and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and
dramatic presentations and athletic events.
Weekend College Faculty
The heart of any educational institution
is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty
hold the doctorate or other terminal degree
and all consider teaching to be the focus of
their activity at the College. Faculty are
involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support
and are secondary to their teaching. They
are actively involved in a dynamic faculty
development program that introduces
them to current thought in many fields,
but especially in teaching and learning
techniques and theories.
Augsburg's size and small classes
encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students.
Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.
ROCHESTER PROGRAM
Augsburg has established a branch
campus in Rochester, Minnesota. Classes
in Rochester meet on an evening or weekend schedule, making them accessible to
working adults. There are three trimesters
in each academic year, following the same
schedule as the Weekend College program.
14 About Augsburg
Several complete degree programs are
available through the Rochester campus. In
addition, students may work on a variety
of other majors through a combination of
Rochester-based courses and courses taken
in the day or Weekend College program on
the Minneapolis campus. Students who
enroll in Rochester courses are required to
have an individual e-mail address and have
access to the Intemet to facilitate the use
of technology in the learning and communication process. Further information may
be obtained from the Rochester program
website at <www.augsburg.edu/rochester>

Notification of Admissions Decision
-Augsburg College uses a "rolling"
admissions plan. Students are notified of
the admission decision, usually within two
weeks after the application file is complete
and has been evaluated by the Admissions
Committee.

and major sections of this catalog to see if
admission to the major is required.
ALL TRANSFER STUDENTS
Augsburg College welcomes students
who wish to transfer from other accredited
colleges or universities. College credit is
granted for liberal arts courses satisfactorily
completed at accredited institutions. The
College reserves the right not to grant
credit for courses where it considers the
work unsatisfactory, to grant provisional
credit for work taken at unaccredited institutions, and to require that certain courses
be taken at Augsburg.
Augsburg College limits transfer
coursework from two-year colleges once a
student has reached junior status. Students
may transfer a maximum of 64 semester
credits (96 quarter credits) from two-year
colleges. Once a student reaches junior
status, no additional credits will transfer
from two-year institutions toward the
minimum of 32 credits required for a
baccalaureate degree. These courses can,
however, be used to meet liberal arts and
major requirements.
A cumulative grade point average
(GPA) of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) or better is
required on previous college work for
admission to the College.
Acceptance of courses submitted for
transfer is done by the registrar's office
based upon the official student
transcript(s). Acceptance of courses presented for a major or minor also requires
approval of the department. The major or
minor department may require certain
courses or a minimum number of courses
be taken at Augsburg.
Students transferring from the
Minnesota State University and College
System who have completed the Minnesota
Transfer Curriculum, have earned the
Associate of Arts degree from MNSCU, and
have a 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) cumulative GPA
or higher will be given transfer status as
outlined below.
The following applies only to the
MNSCU A.A. graduate:
1. Admission will be with junior standing
following the Minnesota Transfer
Curriculum. A maximum of 17 Augsburg
equivalent courses (64 semester credits or
96 quarter credits from a community college) will be accepted once junior status is
reached. No additional courses may be
transferred from a community college.
2. All Augsburg general education requirements will be waived except:
The City Perspective
Two courses in Christian Faith (any
two areas)
The language requirement as stated
One course that meets the Quantitative
Reasoning Graduation Skill requirement
-
Undergraduate Admissions 23
One graduation skill writing course in
the major
College algebra or Math Placement
Group 3
One lifetime sport
3. Courses with D grades will not be
accepted as prerequisites or for application
to majors. Some Augsburg majors require
additional prerequisite coursework beyond
the A.A. degree. Students are advised to
consult major departments for major
requirements upon transfer.
Admission to a major, as well as admission to the College, is sometimes necessary.
Please check with the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions and consult the
departmental section of this catalog.
Note: No student who falls below the
standards for automatic admission to the
College will be considered for admission
by the Admissions Committee after August
15 for entry in fall semester or December
15 for entry in spring semester.
FORMER STUDENTS
Students who have interrupted attendance at Augsburg College for one semester or more without requesting a leave of
absence and who wish to return must
apply for re-admission through the registrar's office. Students who have attended
other institution(s) during their absence
from Augsburg must have an official transcript sent from each institution to the
Office of the Registrar. Returning students
do not pay the application fee.
SPECIAL STUDENTS
(NON-DECREE)
In some circumstances, people may be
admitted as special students (non-degree)
and granted the privilege of enrolling in
courses for credit. Students may request a
change in their degree status by submitting
a petition to the registrar's office.
Students regularly enrolled at another
college may take coursework at Augsburg
College as a special student (non-degree).
An application form for special-student
status is available from the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions. To apply for
admission as a special student, submit the
completed admission application and academic transcripts to the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions.
SPECIAL STUDENTS
(SECOND DECREE)
Students who have completed a
four-year degree at an accredited college
or university may complete a second
degree at Augsburg College. Second degree
requirements include: a minimum of eight
course credits taken at Augsburg, completion of a major, and completion of any
liberal arts requirements not covered by
a previous degree.
Depending on the student's previous
degree, completion of a second major
(non-degree) may also be an option.

Financing higher education could be
the most significant investment a person
or family makes in a lifetime. Proper planning and wise choices are important, not
only in choosing a college, but also in the
methods used to pay for it. Augsburg
College, through its Enrollment Center,
will help students and their families protect access to a quality Augsburg education
in a time of increasing financial challenge.
Financial assistance awarded through
Augsburg may be a combination of
scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time
work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private
agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 2001-2002 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) and the Augsburg
Financial Aid Application help determine
the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into
account such family financial factors as
current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational
expenses, debts, retirement needs, and special considerations.

are enrolled at least half time. Simple interest of 5 percent and repayment of principal
(at the minimum of $40 a month) begin
nine months after you leave school.

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

such programs. Subsidized Stafford Loans
are need-based loans that the federal
government subsidizes by paying the
interest while the student is in school
and during the grace period.
For the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan,
interest begins accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower is responsible
for all interest. The borrower may choose
to make payments while in school or may
defer payments and allow interest to
accrue and be capitalized (added to the
balance of the loan).
The interest rate for new borrowers
through the Subsidized and Unsubsidized
Stafford Loan is variable and changes
annually on July 1. Interest is capped at
8.25%.

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
This ministry finds its most visible
expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to
give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and
musicians. Each Wednesday night students
gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays,
Trinity Lutheran worship services are held
on campus, with many other churches
within walking distance.
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.
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.
xperiences in the classroom are an
important part of college life, but learning
and development also occur in formal and
informal activities of the College and the
metropolitan area. Whether students are
residents or commuters, the climate for

secure a closer relationship with and better
understanding of the administration and
faculty and provide input into the decision-making process at Augsburg. Student
Government also sponsors and directs student organizations, protects student rights,

and action on all issues pertaining to student life at Augsburg.
Augsburg College created a program
entitled Exploring Our Gifts through the
generous support of the Lilly Endowment.
Established in Spring 2002, the Exploring
Our Gifts program is designed to help students in their college journey to make connections between faith, vocation, and
work. The program will assist students in
this journey by intentionally introducing
vocational themes into the cumculum, cocumcular activities, service-learning experiences, and mentoring relationships at the
college. Exploring Our Gifts also provides
resources to encourage students to explore
Christian ministry. Contact the director of
Exploring Our Gifts for further information about the program.

offices in this area include the College
newspaper, the Echo; the yearbook, The
Augsburgian; Student Government; and the
Augsburg Student Activities Council.
Throughout the year, a variety of social
and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These
activities include dances, films, theme
events, name entertainment, and visiting
personalities in various fields.

Introduction
Introduction to Interim
The College follows a 4- 1-4 calendar, with fall and spring
semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week
January Interim. Interim is 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. The College is changing its
calendar next year to a 4-4 calendar so January Interim 2002
will be the last opportunity to take an Interim course.
Freshmen are required to take an Interim course their first
year. All other current students are expected to complete the
two interims required for graduation.
Interim is an opportunity for intense concentration on a
single course of study. Since one Interim course equals a fulltime load, students should plan to spend the same amount of
time in class and preparing for class as they would for a fourcourse load during fall or spring semesters. Students should
be prepared for at least 40 class hours during the Interim and
should anticipate the equivalent of the normal two hours of
study for each class hour. Since the course length is only 3 112
weeks, attendance at every class is imperative. While it is
expected that students will attend every class period,
instructors will establish the precise attendance policy for
their courses. Students can register for only one course credit
during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who
chooses not to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0
scale. Students generally have the option to register on a
PassINo credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on
the PIN system; this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered for either upper or lower division
credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and
students must select which is most appropriate for their
needs. Students registering for upper division credit should
anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous
grading standard. Some courses, especially courses with travel
requirements, have additional fees associated with them.
These fees, although intended to be accurate, may change and
students should check with the instructor to verify the final
costs.
Day school students (3.0 credits or more for fall) can take a
total of 1.0 course credit. They may take two half-credit
classes. They may also take a lifetime sport (zero credit). The
lifetime sport is at no additional charge if they are full-time
students (fall term). If less than full time, they will be charged.
Weekend students can take 1.0 course credits in Interim as a
cross registration and will be charged WEC tuition $1321 per
course credit and a $25 technology fee. If they do so, they may
petition to take an additional 1.0 course credit in Weekend
College for winter trimester.
Augsburg College, as afirmed in its mission, does not
discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national
or ethnic origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status,
status with regard to public assistance, or disability in its
education policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan
programs, athletic andlor school administered programs, except
in those instances where religion is a bona fide occupational
qualification. Augsburg College is committed to providing
reasonable accommodations to its employees and its students.
Any questions concerning Augsburg's compliance with federal or
state regulations implementing equal access and opportunity can
be directed to Betty Wade, afirmative action coordinator, Ofice
of Human Resources, CB 79,Augsburg College, 221 1 Riverside
Ave., Minneapolis, M N 55454. She can be reached by telephone,
(612) 330-1023; or by e-mail, <wadeb@augsburg.edu>.
Options
International Interim-Students are invited to participate in
the international Interim courses offered by the Upper
Midwest Association for Intercultural Education (UMAIE)
and other consortia. These course opportunities are listed on
page 38. Some courses have early registration deadlines.
Internships deadline-Friday, December 7. January Interim
internships must be planned in advance. Students electing an
internship must meet departmental requirements and present
a signed internship-learning agreement plan to the Center for
Service, Work, and Learning (1st floor Memorial) by the first
day of Interim classes. The learning-agreement forms are
available in the same office. Internships during Interim must
involve full-time work placements for approximately four
weeks. Assistance for planning internships is available in the
Center for Service, Work, and Learning.
Independent studylresearch or directed study-Students
may elect a program of independent study (upper division
499) or directed study (lower division 299) for Interim.
Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting
responsibility for more than one independent study per
Interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or directed
study must:
1. Meet departmental requirements
2. Present to the registrar a copy of the proposed study
plan approved by the supervising faculty member and
the directedlindependent study registration form.
These forms must be submitted by December 1.
Appropriate study proposal and registration forms can
be obtained in the Office of the Registrar.
Interims at other schools-Augsburg students may enroll at
any other 4-1-4 institution that offers a reciprocal Interim
arrangement. Catalogs of these Interim programs are available
in the registrar's office. Registration for Interims at the other
ACTC colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular
registration period. Most courses taught during the Interim at
other 4-1-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but
may not necessarily be accepted as meeting Augsburg's
general education requirements or major requirements.
Visiting Students
Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4- 1-4 schools
for the January Interim without tuition charges, provided the
student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition to
Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition
does not include special fees, housing, or board costs. Other
students will be charged $1,844 for the Interim course plus a
$25 technology fee. Students interested in registering for an
Augsburg Interim should write to the Office of the Registrar
for application forms or use the forms provided by the Interim
office at their own school. There is an application processing
fee of $25. Students are welcome to stay on campus but are
not required to do so. Requests for Interim housing should be
made to the Office of Residence Life.
It should be noted that neither ACTC exchange students nor
visiting students may register for 199,299,399, or 499 courses.
About This Catalog
The catalog lists courses by departments in alphabetical order.
At the end of the book are listings of other courses not
offered by Augsburg but recognized by the College for Interim
credit. Students may also register for one of the lifetime sports
listed at the end of the catalog. Courses that include travel are

Introduction to Polymer Chemistry and
American Plastic
CHM 104-J
Instructor: Ron Fedie
Previously there was the Stone Age, Iron Age, and Bronze Age.
Now we live in the Age of Polymers (and Plastics). Without
this innovative technology, life as we know it would be much
different. The variety of polymer molecules and their
properties make up many, diverse plastics and the variations
are endless. Many items and materials in the areas of
coatings, adhesives, leisure/sports equipment,
building/construction, automobiles, furniture, clothes,
medical supplies, cosmetics, and others that are used everyday
come from different polymeric materials made from polymer
molecules. In this course we will explore and discuss the
world of polymer chemistry. Polyethylene is one of the most
commonly used synthetic polymers in "plastic" wrap and
trash bags. A common natural polymer, polyisoprene, is
collected from the sap of rubber trees and tires, golf balls, and
latex gloves are just some of the many uses. The class will
focus on two books. One, American Plastic: A Cultural
History, by Jeffrey Meikle, for the historical perspective of our
world of polymers. Themes from the book, the different
types of polymers used, and recent themes such as the
recycling of plastics will be discussed. A second book, Giant
Molecules, by Grosberg and Khokhlov, will help with the
previously mentioned themes and give more depth to the
broad world of polymers not covered in Meikle's book. There
will be six lab periods in which some polymer molecules will
be made and several of their interesting properties will be
explored. Students will be graded on 25 group worksheets,
six quizzes, six reflection papers, six lab periods, and an
individual project and presentation.

Topics: Investigating the Victorian
Thriller
ENG 282-D
ENG 482-D
Instructor: Dallas Liddle
This course will study the phenomenon in 19-century Britain
of the popular novel of suspense, mystery, and terror. From
Frankenstein early in the century to Dracula at its end, the
nightmares imagined by novelists of Great Britain have
continued to interest and horrify readers throughout the 20th
century. Early in the century these tales were generally either
"Gothic" (stories of horror and the supernatural set in Italy
or Spain) or "Newgate" novels (true-crime stories about the
lower classes). By the 1860's however, popular novelists
including Charles Dickens, Mary Braddon, Eliza Wood, and
Wilkie Collins were producing a stunningly successful series
of works in which the action was set in the everyday world of
the Victorian middle classes, and the villains (as one reviewer
remarked) seemed like people the reader might meet at
dinner. Often challenging and sometimes subversive, these
novels drew intense public scrutiny by raising issues that the
politer genre of domestic fiction could hardly hint at
including gender roles and sexual transgression, class and
race oppression, obsession and madness, and the dark sides
of urban life, industrial poverty, and empire. We will read
several of the best of these thrillers, at the same time actively
investigating the culture that produced them. We will read
original reviews and responses, including parodies, and learn
about the context of newspaper and magazine journalism in
which several of the novels appeared. While we investigate
the power of the Gothic and Sensation genres for their
original audiences, however, we will also work to determine
why these novels have continued to appeal to successive
generations of readers. Course grades will be based on class
attendance and participation, two short papers, a group
presentation, and a final exam. Upper-level students will read
one additional novel, write a research-based paper on it, and
share the results of their research with the class.

Environmental and River Politics
POL 241-J
Instructor: Joe Underhill-Cady
We live and work on the shores of the largest river in North
America. It is the reason the Twin Cities are located where
they are, and it continues to define the city, as human
settlement here in turn has profoundly shaped the river
ecosystem. Of late in cities across America there has been "a
return to the river," and in this class we will be doing the
same. The river stands as a remarkable symbol for the
community, of continuity and change, of cycles and
transformation, of the power and beauty of the natural
world, and there is much to be learned from studying it.
Using the Mississippi as the focus, this course looks at the
changes in thinking about the relationship between humanity
and the natural world, as the relationship has been expressed
in literature, law, science, religion, political philosophy, and
popular culture. Particular attention will be paid to legal and
cultural conceptions of the natural world, including the ideas
of property and ownership. We will explore the distinction
between wilderness and civilization and the political function
of the line dividing those two realms.

Cultures of Violence
SOC 290-J
Instructor: James Vela-McConnell
Street gangs and warfare. Police brutality and genocide.
Domestic abuse and terrorism. What are the dynamics
underlying these and other forms of violence? What do they
have in common? How do they differ? This course takes
violence in its many forms as a topic for sociological analysis
and concludes with an examination of non-violent
alternatives. With this in mind, we will compare different
theoretical perspectives on violence, such as psychological,
social psychological, and socio-cultural perspectives. The
course will involve a combination of lecture and discussion
based on readings and videos, debate of current issues in the
field, and guest speakers from and field trips to local
organizations dealing with problems of violence. Students
will be expected to research, write about, and present on the
sociological dimensions of a particular form of violence. In
addition, there will be short reaction papers based on the
readings, and classroom participation will be an important
part of grading. This course has a lab fee of $25 payable the
first day of class to the instructor.
Prerequisite: None
Maximum Enrollment: 25

Room: Old Main 13
Topics: The Sociology of Social
Movements
SOC 295-J
Instructor: Lars Christiansen
Scores of social movements have shaped and challenged the
social, political, and economic institutions of the United
States. Many of these protest movements seek to change the
established social order; some seek its defense and
preservation. This course offers the sociological study of
social movements in the United States within the last two
centuries. We will explore important question such as: Why
do people engage in protests at certain times, while at other
times reamin silent? Why are people willing to risk their lives
to create social change? How do social movements form, and
what causes their decline? Is the use of violence an effective
means of establishing social change? We will address these
and other crucial questions through a systematic study of
several social movements including labor, civil rights,
feminist, environmentalist, and anti-global capital
movements.

assist students in integrating agency experiences and readings
that explore the historical development of social welfare as an
institution and the nature and value system of social work as a
profession. Students will also examine and critique the
manner in which social, economic, and political structures
impact diverse groups in society. Students will focus on their
own responsibilities in society, as well as examine their

Inside Washington 2002:
Academic seminars
Politics and the Media
Politics, Power, and the Presidency
January 6-1 8, 2001
Pol 398-A(l.O Credit)
January 2002 marks the end of President Bush's first year in office
and the beginning of the race for the congressional midterm
elections that may mean a party switch in the House or Senate.
Much is also at stake at the state level as numerous gubernatorial
races may determine who will run for president in 2004. Many
retirements and new seats as a result of reapportionment and
redistricting means that the political deck is being reshuffled.
Who will be advantaged? What are the likely outcomes? What
main forces will be at play? How will President Bush's policy
agenda affect the political landscape and what role does the
media play in the political and policy games of Washington, D.C.?
Inside Washington 2002 is an exceptional opportunity for
students to step into the fire of politics and gain a unique insight
into these and many other issues. Through site visits, tours,
briefings, and lectures, politicians, media personalities, policy
makers, and scholars will take students on a behind-the-scenes
journey through the halls of power. Don't miss this special
opportunity to go inside Washington!
The first week, "Politics and the Media:' will examine how the
relationship between politicians and the media shapes political
news.
The second week, "Politics, Power, and the Presidency:' will
explore the first year of the Bush Administration, and the
influences that affect the public policy agenda of any new
presidential administration.
For further information about the program see Professor
Hedblom in Memorial Hall 117A, call her at 330-1197, or email:
hedblom@augsburg.edu.There are four scholarships available to
cover registration and tuition costs based on priority in
registration through the political science department.

Introduction to Interim
Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg
College. The College follows a 4-1-4 calendar, with fall and
spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a
four-week January Interim. Interim is 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.
Interim is an opportunity for intense concentration on a
single course of study. Since one Interim course equals a fulltime load, students should plan to spend the same amount of
time in class and preparing for class as they would for a fourcourse load during fall or spring semesters. Students should
be prepared for at least 40 class hours during the Interim and
should anticipate the equivalent of the normal two hours of
study for each class hour. Since the course length is only 3 112
weeks, attendance at every class is imperative. While it is
expected that students will attend every class period, instructors will establish the precise attendance policy for their
courses. Students can register for only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who
chooses not to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0
scale. Students generally have the option to register on a
PassINo credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on
the PIN system; this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered for either upper or lower division
credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and students must select which is most appropriate for their needs.
Students registering for upper division credit should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading
standard. Some courses, especially courses with travel requirements, have additional fees associated with them. These fees,
although intended to be accurate, may change; and students
should check with the instructor to verify the final costs.
Students are required to complete at least 33 course credits for
graduation. This course total must include two Interims for
students who enter with fewer than 14 courses. Freshmen are
required to take an Interim course their first year. A maximum of four Interim course credits may be counted toward
the 33 course credits required for graduation. Transfer students should refer to their transfer credit evaluation form or
consult the registrar for the number of Interim courses

ART 107-J
Instructors: Pary Pezechkian-Weinberg and Tara
Christopherson
The legendary light and geography of Provence has shaped art
history for centuries. In the last hundred years alone, it has
inspired countless works of art. Using French language and
personal art, students will immerse themselves in place, documenting their own inspiration with text and images of
Provence through journal, discussion, sketching and assemblage. The language, culture and art of Provence will come
alive for students, resulting in a very personal memoir
grounded in site-specific content. Students will spend the
majority of their time in Provence, winding up the program
with four days in Paris. For more information, contact Prof.
Pary Pezechkian-Weinberg, (612) 330-1090 or Prof. Tara

Chemistry for Changing Times
CHM 100-J
Instructor: Arlin Gyberg
This course is developed from the perspective of a person living in modern, high-technology society such as the United
States. It assumes that before one can evaluate a moral or
societal issue of a scientific nature one at least must be able to
understand the science involved. Anything less is an impression rather than an informed decision. As we develop scientific concepts we will at the same time relate them to an abundance of current issues. We live in a world of pesticides, fertilizers, plastics, birth control, food abundance and food shortage, food additives and processing and synthesis, organically
grown food, chemical dependency, licit and illicit drugs, the
energy crisis, and the debates about sources of energy, the
green house effect, and nuclear waste storage, pollution,
genetic engineering and much more. Many of these problems
are chemical in nature. Thus, in learning about chemistry, via
lecture and in-class discussion, we can begin to understand
ourselves, our society, our world, and even some of the universe. The grade for the course is based on a percentage of the
score of total points on the daily quizzes.

The Cuban Story: Quantitative
Journalism in Cuba
ENG 347-A
Instructor: Cass Dalglish
Students will research and write stories with a statistical issue
at the core, doing their work where few U.S. citizens have
been able to travel or study-Cuba. They will study how to
evaluate and analyze information both numerically and verbally and how to communicate quantitative data. They will
study the Cuban economy and both the gains and challenges
politics have brought to Cuba. During the 10-day seminar,
students will interview economists, meet government officials,
travel to the country to consider food and farming, study
health care and education, and meet students and journalists.
Finally, students will write lucid investigative stories which
demonstrate that they have gained an ability to gather, handles, and present quantitative information in a precise and
readable style - in oral and written formats. The class will
have several meetings at Augsburg before the Cuba travel and
several following the group's return to the U.S. [This is a joint

Topics: Which West? The American
West in Film and Literature
ENG 282-A
ENG 382-A
Instructor: Joan Thompson
In this class you will read literature and view films in order to
learn about ways in which ideas about the American West
have helped to shape American identity and cohstructions of
the West. Although over 100 years have passed since Frederick
Jackson Turner announced the closing of the American frontier at the 1893 meeting of the American Historical Society,
the West has not lost its associations with the frontier and its
attendant mythology. You will learn that even as formulaic
fiction and film popularized this vision of the West, serious
writers and, more recently, filmmakers have been exploring
other possible versions of the West. Through focusing on
these explorations of the West as place, you will gain an
understanding of the role of myths, such as the romantic gunfighter's conquest of both Native peoples and land, in
American views of the West. You will also explore ideas such
as Manifest Destiny, individual freedom, and appropriate land
use. Because the West has always been filled with a plurality of
voices, you will look'at ways writers and filmmakers who have
visited, imagined, or lived in the West have both affirmed and
countered these myths and ideas in their work.
Course grades will be based on readinghiewing journals, a
three to four page paper, a final exam, and class participation.
Additionally, if you are enrolled in 382, you will read several
critical articles on reserve at Lindell Library, as well as an
additional novel. You will then write an additional short
paper on the novel using the critical ideas you have studied.
You will also give a brief presentation on your additional
reading.

Topics: Investigating the Victorian
Thriller
ENG 282-D
ENG 482-D
Instructor: Dallas Liddle
This course will study the phenomenon in nineteenth-century Britain of the popular novel of suspense, mystery and terror. From Frankenstein early in the century to Dracula at its
end, the nightmares imagined by novelists of Great Britain
have continued to interest and horrify readers throughout
the 20th century. Early in the century these tales were generally either "Gothic" (stories of horror and the supernatural
set in Italy or Spain) or "Newgate" novels (true-crime stories
about the lower classes). By the 1860's however, popular novelists including Charles Dickens, Mary Braddon, Eliza Wood
and Wilkie Collins were producing a stunningly successful
series of works in which the action was set in the everyday
world of the Victorian middle classes, and the villains (as one
reviewer remarked) seemed like people the reader might
meet at dinner. Often challenging and sometimes subversive,
these novels drew intense public scrutiny by raising issues
that the politer genre of domestic fiction could hardly hint at
including gender roles and sexual transgression, class and
race oppression, obsession and madness, and the dark sides
of urban life, industrial poverty, and empire. We will read
several of the best of these thrillers, at the same time actively
investigating the culture that produced them. We will read
original reviews and responses, including parodies, and learn
about the context of newspaper and magazine journalism in
which several of the novels appeared. While we investigate
the power of the Gothic and Sensation genres for their original audiences, however, we will also work to determine why
these novels have continued to appeal to successive generations of readers. Course grades will be based on class attendance and participation, two short papers, a group presentation, and a final exam. Upper-level students will read one
additional novel, write a research-based paper on it, and
share the results of their research with the class.

Topics: The Heroic Journey
ENG 282-M
ENG 382-M
Instructor: Joan Griffin
"The hero," says Joseph Campbell, "Is the man or woman who
has been able to battle past his personal and local historical
limitations to the generally valid, normally human forms."
This struggle, the heroic journey, is a quest for wholeness, for
harmony with oneself, one's society, and even the universe.
The journey may be physical, moral, psychological, or spiritual, but it always concludes with the regeneration of the hero
and/or the redemption of the hero's society.
This course will study archetypal patterns of the heroic journey as well as specific examples of such journeys, emphasizing the work of Joseph Campbell, but also citing studies of
the hero by Lord Ragland, Carol Pearson, and Richard
Slotkin, among others. We will note that major heroic genres
in western tradition-the epic and romance-almost always
assume that the hero is usually a warrior and aristocrat. Thus
we will analyze typical elements of the heroic warrior myth as
depicted in ancient and medieval epics and romance, but will
also pay particular attention to works that challenge or
enlarge the tradition. We will consider the implications of the
enduring popularity of warrior-hero renditions of the heroic
journey.
Evaluation is based primarily on papers. Class attendance is
mandatory. Do not take this course if you know that you will
need to miss more than two classes.

Environmental and River Politics

they are, and it continues to define the city, as human settlement here in turn has profoundly shaped the river ecosystem.
Of late in cities across America there has been "a return to the

Using the Mississippi as the focus, this course looks at the
changes in thinking about the relationship between humanity
and the natural world, as the relationship has been expressed
in literature, law, science, religion, political philosophy, and
popular culture. Particular attention will be paid to legal and
cultural conceptions of the natural world, including the ideas

between wilderness and civilization and the political function
of the line dividing those two realms.
We will explore the ri
