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>.

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.

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.

The Philosophy of Socrates
PHI 231-J

We shall examine the historical and intellectual background
of Socrates and what our sources allow us to say about his
person and teachings. We shall clarify and critically examine
Socrates' key teachings: that virtue is a form of knowledge
and that all virtues are somehow one; that evil is ignorance;
whether or not virtue can be taught; that it is impossible for
wrong doer to be happy; and that being a citizen requires
obedience to the state's laws, even if that means accepting
one's own death. There will be take-home written
assignments and weekly quizzes.

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.

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.

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

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:

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
required.
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 $1258 per
course credit and a $25 technology fee. If they do so, they may
take only 1.0 additional course credit in Weekend College for
winter trimester.
Augsburg College, as affirmed 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 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 its students.
Any questions concerning Augsburg's compliance with federal
or state regulations implementing equal access and opportunity can be directed to Betty Wade, affirmative action coordinator, Office of Human Resources, CB 79, Augsburg College,
221 1 Riverside Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55454. She can be
reached by telephone, (612) 330-1023; or by e-mail,
<wadeb@augsburg.edu>.
Introduction
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 47. Some courses have early registration deadlines.
Internships deadline-Friday, December 8. 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.
Introduction
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 $1,726 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.

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.

CSC 373-J
Instructor: Charles Sheaffer
This course is especially intended for students with no prior
exposure to programming in particular or computer science
in general. It will be a laboratory intensive, self-paced course
using the Scheme programming language. We will introduce
an alternative approach to some of the most important concepts of computer science including problem solving, simulation, object-oriented programming, functional programming,
procedural and data abstraction, and program interpretation.
Students with knowledge of programming will benefit from
exposure to the alternative paradigm represented by the
Scheme language and will acquire a concrete understanding
of how these important concepts are actually implemented in
real languages and machines. Students will be evaluated based
on a series of programming projects. CSC 373 is a continuation of CSC 273.

learned in the course, students will also apply the concepts
with the statistical software package MINITAB. Course evaluation will include homework, computer assignments, exams
and a forecasting project. The forecasting project will apply
the course concepts to a student selected data series.

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
day Interimlwinter WEC course with enrollment limits.]

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
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.
We will explore the river through the eyes and experiences of
those who have worked and lived their lives along it, and
through site visits to locations along the river, speakers in
class, and on the Internet. Students will have an opportunity
to explore their own interests in the river through individual
projects, ranging from boat building, to lobbying at the State
Capital, to the various Mississippi floods, to river ecology and
"green consumerism." There will be opportunities to work
with local river-related groups on those projects. Throughout
the course students will be encouraged to dream, and to work
on taking that vision and making it a reality, in building support for a project, in networking, in having patience, in following through, in working hard, and at the end, having
something concrete to show for their efforts. These projects
can be a prototype for the future pursuit of a vocation to contribute to their world in whatever way one is called to do so.

practice in social work and to help students explore a possible major in social work or future career in the human services.
The three-hour weekly seminar is devoted to discussions that
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 personal value system in relation to special concerns, such as
poverty and the "isms." Detailed information will be sent to

Intructor: Tony Bibus and Ragnhild Collin-Hansen
This course will introduce students to social work practice in
the area of child welfare with special focus on the relationship
of child welfare laws, policies, and court to the lives of families and children. Students will study Minnesota statutes,
meet with key policy makers, observe court procedures and
discuss practice and legal issues with child welfare social
workers and possibly with families and children as well. There
will also be opportunities to compare child welfare laws and
practice in the US with those in Europe, especially Norway.
The principles of permanency planning, family-centered
practice, prevention and protection, and the twin goals in
child welfare of securing safety and nurturing children while
preserving their ties to their family will be examined. We will
also explore controversies and emerging issues in child welfare law such as concurrent planning, "dual-track" service
strategies, encouragement of the adoption of children of color
by white families, and research related to the effects of poverty and oppression on the neglect of children's need. Students
will analyze the dynamic interplay of societal values, power,
politics, facts and myths as they manifest themselves in child
welfare laws; they will begin to form their own positions
regarding an ideal approach to supporting the welfare of children from a global perspective. Evaluation of learning will be
in the form of assessments by instructors and students of the
major paper or project completed for the course.

The Language of Desire: Theory and Practice of
the Love Poem For Advanced Creative Writers
Course will carry upper division English credit
Instructor: Leslie Adrienne Miller
What makes a poem hot? What gives language that extra
charge and sparkle? Why are bad poems about sex really bad?
What is the role of the erotic in a poem? In a love poem?
How do poems seduce us, engage our sense of physical desire
via our imagination? How can we be sure we've written a sexy
poem rather than a mere sex poem? How have poets
answered these and other questions across a variety of times
and cultural contexts? This course will explore these and
other related questions with the assumption that poetic language can and often should be sensual, erotic, sparky, a flirtation with the reader, and the understanding that the sexiest of
poems are seldom actually about the sex act itself. In this
course we will take a look at erotic elements in poems and
explore how poets handle physical desires of all kinds to
engage and seduce their readers. Students will explore a variety of ways to work with erotic language and subjects. We will
examine what makes particular images and metaphors sensual and how poets transform potentially dull and lor unsexy
subjects into vibrant and appealing answers to human desire.
The class will include in-class discussions of text, writers to
the course, on the recommendation of the creative writing
faculty. To be considered for enrollment in this course, con-

A
t Augsburg College, we believe that
the college experience should be a time of
exploration, of discovery, of new experiences, and new possibilities. We also
believe that a liberal arts education is your
best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of
today and tomorrow. Upon graduation, you
will be able to demonstrate not only the
mastery of a major field of study, but also
the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively
Emphasis on values, perspectives,
experience, and skills
The heart of an Augsburg education is
the Augsburg cuniculum-the College's
general education program, which structures your liberal arts studies through challenging and thought-provoking courses
requiring students to consider important
issues and examine values questions. These
Liberal Arts Perspectives include Western
Heritage, Intercultural Awareness, Human
Identity the Social World, Christian Faith,
The City, Aesthetics, and the Natural World.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve you
for a lifetime-writing, speaking, critical
thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to
name a few.
Thanks to Augsburg's prime location in
the heart of a thriving metropolitan area,
many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense,
the resources of the Twin Cities are an
extended campus for Augsburg students.
Selection from over 50 majors
Augsburg offers more than 50 majorsor you can create your own major either
on campus or through the Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See
page 55 for a complete list of majors and
minors.) This five-college consortium
allows students to take courses on other
campuses without charge while a full-time
student at Augsburg. The ACTC includes
Augsburg College, College of St. Catherine,
Hamline University, Macalester College,
and the University of St. Thomas.
Through the Weekend College
Program, 14 majors are offered.
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
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 1
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
The Focus Changed
August Weenaas was Augsburg's first
president (1869-1876).
This attitude began to change after
World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup,Jr.
became president. He worked to develop
college departments with an appeal to a
broader range of students than just those
intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of
Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She
spent the next 42 years at the College as a
teacher and administrator.
Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway-Sven Oftedal and Georg
Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate
Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students for theological study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part
plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students;
and third, educate the farmer, worker, and
businessman. The statement stressed that a
good education is also practical.
Augsburg's next two presidents also
emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts
of education. This commitment to church
and community has been Augsburg's theme
for over 125 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist"
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second
president (1876-1907), required students
to get pre-ministerial experience in city
congregations. Student involvement in the
community gave early expression to the
concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education
for Service."
In the 18905, 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.

2 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 cuniculum 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. He has initiated a strategic
planning process intended to idennfy the
distinguishing marks of the Augsburg education-in both pedagogy and substance-and
a restructuring effort intended to improve
operating efficiencies and open access for the
College to new sources of capital.
Augsburg also offers graduate and
undergraduate level nursing courses as
well as supporting degree courses through
its Rochester Program based in Rochester,
Minnesota.
In 1999, a new apartment-style student
residence opened. Major renovation of
Sverdrup Hall created space for the
Enrollment and Financial Services Center,
the Women's Resource Center, and the
Honors Program Suite; a skyway link to
Lindell Library was constructed.
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 memopolitan center.
There are now almost 16,000 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, and physician assistant training
(after May 2001).
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 1
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 14 majors,
Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest
program of its kind in the state. Faculty in
Weekend College are full-time Augsburg
professors as well as adjunct professionals.
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.

term, and receive federal Title IV financial
assistance (including Pel1 Grant, SEO

accident, the refund will include the normal percentage plus one-half of the percentage adjustment, upon submission of
documentation from the attending doctor
stating the inability or inadvisability of
continued enrollment.
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 Office of Student
Life in Christensen Center.
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 and Financial Services
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 EFSC, 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 1999-2000 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
-
Financial Information 3'
current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational
expenses, debts, retirement needs, and special considerations.

your financial aid application:

programs and requirements for continued eligibility
Subsidized~UnsubsidizedFederal

H KINDS OF AID

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,
grants and loans that might be available in
their own communities. It is worthwhile to
check with churches, the company or business employing parents or spouses, high
schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid available to
students who meet their requirements. In
addition to these sources, some students
are eligible for aid through Vocational
Rehabilitation, Educational Assistance for

5 3TUDENT LIFE
E
xperiences in the classroom are an
important part of college life, but learning
and development also occur in formal and
informal activities of the College and the
metropolitan area. Whether students are
residents or commuters, the climate for
learning and living at Augsburg will add
dimension to their education.
As a college of the church, we are
concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern
for spiritual growth is evident in the
opportunities we encourage and provide
for students to explore their own faith.
Because our campus is comprised of
individuals from many different religious
and cultural backgrounds, our worship life
is characterized by a similar diversity and
richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth
groups, outreach teams and community
outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and
justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are
examples of the wide variety of activities
on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible
expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to
give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and
musicians. Each Wednesday night students
gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays,
Trinity Lutheran worship services are held
on campus, with many other churches
within walking distance.
We seek to develop a free and open
environment where people are encouraged
to use and discover the gifts and sense of
call and vocation that God has given them.
As a college of the church, we encourage
students to form values guided by our
Christian heritage, which will be the basis
for the kind and quality of life that reaches
beyond their years at Augsburg.
The college pastor, 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.
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
the executive branch, the legislative
branch, and the judicial branch. Elections
are held in the spring for the next year.
Freshmen elect their representatives in the
fall of their first year. Many kinds of
involvement are possible-program planning, writing, editing, or service opportunities. If you want to get involved, contact
the president or vice president of the student body in their offices in the lower level
of the Christensen Center.
The Student Activities Program creates
opportunities for students to enhance their
leadership skills through active involvement in developing events, activities, and
organizations that serve the student community Hundreds of major programming
efforts and targeted activities for specific
student interests are generated through
these efforts and make Augsburg a dynamic and enjoyable interactive environment.
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, name entertainment, and visiting
personalities in various fields.
The Christensen Center is the focus of
leisure-time activity on campus. Cooper's
Attic (the gameroom and student lounge)
is a popular hangout located in the lower
level. Many of the clubs that unite classroom and non-classroom related interests
meet here. Student offices in this area
include the College newspaper, the Echo;
the yearbook, The Augsburgian; Student
Government; and the Augsburg Student
Activities Council. KCMR, a student-operated nonprofit radio station serving the
needs of Augsburg and the surrounding
Cedar-Riverside community, is located in
Urness Tower.
FINE ARTS
Students have many opportunities to
participate in music and drama. In addition to appearing on campus and in the
city, the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band,
and Orchestra perform on national and
international tours. Many other ensembles
are available to cover the entire range of
musical styles and previous musical experience. Students stage several plays on campus each year under the direction of the
Theatre Arts Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of on-campus
workshops with visiting arts professionals.
H INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Augsburg is affiliated with the
Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference (MLAC) and is a member of
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) Division 111. Men
annually compete in football, soccer, cross
country, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling,
baseball, track and field, and golf. Women
annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, softball,
track and field, and golf.
During 1999-2000, Augsburg men's and
women's athletics marked the 75th
anniversary of intercollegiate competition.
Every student is urged to participate in
some activity for recreation and relaxation.
An intramural program provides competition in a variety of team sports as well as
individual performance activities.
Broomball has been an especially popular
coed sport. Check schedules for times
when there is open use of the gymnasium
and ice arena.
SPORTS AND RECREATION
At Augsburg, sports are for the average
student as well as the intercollegiate
athlete. The campus offers on a spaceavailable basis a double-rink ice arena,
gymnasium, tennis courts, a fitness center
with workout machines and weight room,
and an air supported dome over the athletic
field for winter fitness use by walkers and
runners. (See Fitness Center on page 47.)
-
14 Student Life
Augsburg's mission focuses on student
learning in the broadest sense. As an indication of the emphasis placed on student
learning, the student and academic affairs
offices work to bring together the student
learning found in the classroom with the
activities of experiential education and
work, residence life, and the learning
resources of the library and information
technology. The following sections elaborate on facets of student life. The formal
academic programs and requirements are
described on page 55.
ACADEMIC SKILLS CENTER
The Academic Skills Center, located in
Room 171 of Foss Center, is designed to
offer students study-skills assistance so
that they may achieve academic success.
The center assists students in improving
their skills in such areas as time management, notetaking, textbook reading and
comprehension, test-taking, and concentration and memory improvement. Diagnostic
testing is also available to assess skills in
reading, vocabulary, spelling, study strategies, and learning styles. The staff will
assist students in developing effective and
efficient study skills.
The Karen M. Housh Tutor Center,
located in Foss Center, Room 18, arranges
for students to meet with tutors for content tutoring in most freshman- and
sophomore-level courses. The center also
notifies students of tutoring labs available
and coordinates supplementary instruction
sessions, in which tutors attend the classes
and lead discussions after class on major
concepts of the course.
The John Evans Learning Laboratory,
located in Foss Center, Room 18, offers
students the opportunity to improve skills
in reading, writing, and mathematics
through the use of computer software, as
well as to review and prepare software for
tests such as PPST, MCAT, L

Interim Courses
Contents
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
required.
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 but will be charged day school tuition $1630
per course credit. If they do so, they may take only 1.0 additional course credit in Weekend College for winter trimester.
Augsburg College, as affirmed 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 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 its students.
Any questions concerning Augsburg's compliance with federal
or state regulations implementing equal access and opportunity can be directed to Lora Steil, affirmative action coordinator, Office of Human Resources, CB 79, Augsburg College,
221 1 Riverside Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55454. She can be
reached by telephone, (612) 330-1023; or by e-mail,
<steil@augsburg.edu>.

.
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 45. Some courses have early registration deadlines.
Internships deadline-Friday, December 10. 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 study/research 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 $1,630 for the Interim course.
Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim
should write to the Ofice 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
marked with an airplane.

Chemistry for Changing Timer
CHM 100-J
Instructor: Arlin Gyberg
This course is developed from the perspective of a person
living in a 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 and non-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.

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 every day 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 found 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, 6 quizzes, 6 reflection papers, 6 lab periods, and
an individual project and presentation.

This course is especially intended for students with no prior
exposure to programming in particular or computer science
in general. It will be a laboratory intensive, self-paced course
using the Scheme programming language. We will introduce
an alternative approach to some of the most important concepts of computer science including problem solving, simulation, object-oriented programming, functional programming,
procedural and data abstraction, and program interpretation.
Students with knowledge of programming will benefit from
exposure to the alternative paradigm represented by the
Scheme language and will acquire a concrete understanding
of how these important concepts are actually implemented in
real languages and machines. Students will be evaluated based
on a series of programming projects. CSC is a continuation of

American Dialects: Differences and

ENG 219-J
Instructor: John Schmit
Because language plays an important role in our socialization,
the way we speak tells others who we are and with whom we
identify. Our speech is a reflection of our social and economic
standing and our cultural background. In this course we will
explore the ways in which both personal and group identities
are reflected by the ways in which we speak. We will examine a
number of American varieties of English and will attempt to
describe the rules by which these varieties operate. Class sessions will include brief lectures, student presentations, and
student-led discussions. In addition to presenting a topic, students will write a paper on the presentation topic and take a
final exam.

Topics: Introduction to Asian American
Literature
ENG 282-L
ENG 482-L
Instructor: Joan Thompson
In an essay about multicultural American literature, Walter J.
Ong writes that "literature is organized experience and consciousness. Since cultures organize experience and consciousness variously, the study of the literature of another culture
opens new vistas both into the exterior world and into the
human heart." This course will explore some of these vistas
through readings and discussions of nonfiction works, poetry,
short stories, a play, and a novel by Asian American authors.
Some ideas the writers take as subjects through their art
include definitions of an Asian American voice, explorations
of cultural and individual identity, visions of community, and
coming of age. Class sessions will include discussion of the
historical and social contexts that influence the writers studied. In addition to the reading, students will view at least one
Asian American film and possibly attend a relevant performance or reading. Course grades will be based on reading
journal, a short paper, a final exam, class attendance, and participation. Upper division students will read an additional
novel and write a research-based paper on it.

Topics: Investigating the Victorian
Thriller
ENG 282-0
ENG 482-0
Instructor: Dallas Liddle
This course will study the phenomenon in 19th-century
Britain of the popular novel of suspense, mystery, and terror.
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 1860s, however, popular novelists including
Charles Dickens, Mary Braddon, and others were producing a
stunningly successful series of works in which the action was
set in the everyday world of the Victorian middle classes.
These novels drew intense public scrutiny by raising issues
that the more polite 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. 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: Cinema and Sexual Identity
ENG 2824
Instructor: Doug Green
What does cinema reveal about how the 20th century has
thought about sexuality?How do cinematic images affect our
sense of our own sexual identity? This topics course in
English examines films from the early years of cinema to the
present in order to explore depictions of and cultural
assumptions about sexual identity. We will, moreover, consider the impact of these images on audience perceptions and
expectations, including those of the self. We will pay special
attention to the various images and constructions of homosexual as well as heterosexual identity in English-language
cinema, especially Hollywood movies, and in some silent and
foreign films. Taking Celluloid Closet as a point of departure,
we will consider how film affects sexual minorities in the
audience as well as in film production.
There will be short readings on sexuality and film. At each
class there will be a full or partial film screening, followed by
small-group and whole-class discussions. We may go to one
or two films offcampus as well, so students should be prepared to buy tickets; these out-of-class screenings may not be
at the regular class time. There will be at least one typed
journal entry due at each class period. The class will meet
from 1-5 p.m., Monday through Thursday of the first two
weeks of Interim; 1-5 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday of the
third week; and 1-5 p.m., Monday through Thursday of the
last week.
Grading will be based on the completion and quality of all
journal entries and on class/film attendance, preparation,
and participation. Students missing more than two
classes/films and/or two journal entries may not pass the
course. All grades
are PIN option only (i.e., 2.0 is required

will be given to the vision and sensibility of each poet and to
the themes of their poems, especially those images and statements that concern philosophical, historical, psychological
and cultural values. Through comparison and contrast, students will be expected to formulate reasonable interpretations
of selected poets and poems and to express their discoveries
in class discussion and short papers. A final examination will
be given and two interpretive papers about three to five pages
in length will be assigned. For upper division credit, the student will also read and give a written class report on a book

Instructor: Don Gustafson
This Interim experience is designed to look at the area of
South Asia (primarily India) that is home to one-fifth of the
people of our world. We'll use novels, films, some standard
historical writings, and current South Asia periodicals to consider the impact that colonialism, nationalism, and various
phases of modernization have had on this old, honored, and
traditional culture. We'll read the marriage ads and talk
about social structure, consider the spot at Ayodhya that has
prompted Hindus to massacre Muslims, think on the Christlikeness of a Gandhi, and perhaps have time to note one or
two of the contemporary religious phenomena. Looking at
South Asians helps us to see ourselves in a fuller perspective.
The course will include the usual pedagogical devices of lectures, discussions, some short reaction papers, and tests
(including a final). Students enrolling for upper division credit will be expected to have at least one prior college history
class, to complete a paper or project beyond the regular

Remembering the 20th Century
HIS 440-J
Instructor: Jacqueline de Vries
As the millennium approaches, everyone-artists, politicians,
gossip columnists, historians-seems to have some opinion
about the waning 20th century. What has this century
wrought? The last hundred years have left a great many contradictions: two global wars that destroyed millions of lives
and swept away governments, but brought economic development; the decline (and recovery) of established religion; the
rise (and collapse) of a messianic faith in communism; great
increases in standards of living while famine and child labor
persist; technological breakthroughs that put teachers in space
and AK-47 rifles in the hands of children; new freedoms and
new forms of exploitation. In this course, we will together
attempt to make sense of the 20th century. Please note that
while the course will examine major events and developments
of the century, it will not offer a narrative history, nor will it
be exhaustive. Instead, it will explore a variety of possible
interpretive frameworks to help us better understand where
our grandparents have been and where we are today. Rather
than relying exclusively on (sometimes dry) textbooks, we will
explore the century through a variety of personal narratives,
both written and oral, and reflect on the shaping of both individual and collective memory.
Course materials will include several monographs and novels,
films, photographs, and guest lectures. Students will complete
three five-page papers, one of which will be an interview with
their oldest living relative.

bus for an intense, study-travel journey to Little Rock,
Memphis, Birmingham, Montgomery, Atlanta, Nashville, and
Chicago, the places where history was made and the museums
that chronicle those times. We will meet with and interview
participants in these critical events, as well as actively engage
one another in dialogue and collaborative learning. The course
objectives include learning about the history and sociology of
race and ethnic relations in the U.S. gaining insights from persons and places that mark the "turning points" of the 1950s
and 1960s, documenting our personal and group experiences
so that our insights and understanding can be shared with the
Augsburg community and others, and increasing our skills for
cross-cultural collaboration and dialogue. Upper and lower
division: students obtaining upper division credit will complete a research paper on a specific topic related to the course,
including an annotated bibliography with a minimum of 20

Science, Technology, and Values
PHY 117-J
Instructors: Mark Engebretson and Bruce Reichenbach
This course will focus on contemporary problems that arise
from our developing technological capacities. We will consider problems such as the causes and effects of global warming;
depletion of the ozone layer; social, economic, and ethical
concerns in pollution cleanup; agriculture, pesticides, and
genetic effects; the prospects and problems of genetically
engineering both our foodstuffs and humans, and the urban
implications of developing a light rail system. To get a satisfactory grasp on how to approach these problems, we will first
explore what science and the scientific methods are, how science (knowing) relates to technology (doing), the structures
used for ethical evaluation, and the resulting interactions
among the three. Grading will be based on two tests and a
major project.

Topics: Physics in Science
and Fantasy Fiction
PH Y 220-J
Instructor: J. Ambrose Wolf
This course deals with physics aspects in movies as well as in
science fiction and fantasy fiction literature on a conceptual
level. We will explore scenes and settings in which physics plays
an important role and also learn to discern if they are physically correct or not. This will also expand the awareness of physics
in everyday life, where it is encountered and how it works. The
math component of this course will be minimized in favor of a
better grasp of the concepts and thought processes involved.
Various scenes from movies and excerpts from literature will be
presented, after which the physics connection and understanding will be explored in discussions. The weekly papers will
cover one of the topics discussed in class during that week; the
long-term paper will cover a general topic from physics in
everyday life and bibliographic research. Students' papers and
reviews will also be discussed class. This course is designed for
those students who do not plan to major or minor in physics.
Grading will be based on active participation in class discussions, three (approx. weekly) short papers involving draft and
peer review (final paper and review graded) and one long
paper including a draft version corrected by the instructor.

required. The course has two goals: developing student thinking about social justice, including greater awareness of conflicts between justice and other values; and increasing student
ability to understand urban problems as issues of justice and
other central values. Evaluation will be based on participation
in discussion and other class activities, on two short (4-6
page) papers and on a final exam. Because of the compressed
time frame of the Interim schedule and the importance of
material covered on the first day of class, no one will be

staff. The course is designed to help students learn about
themselves in relation to a possible major or future career in
the human services.
The three-hour weekly seminar is devoted to discussions that
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 personal
value system in relation to special concerns, such as poverty

the Law
S WK 295-J
Intructor: Tony Bibus
This course will introduce students to social work practice in
the area of child welfare with special focus on the relationship
of child welfare laws, policies, and court to the lives of families and children. Students will study Minnesota statutes, meet
with key policy makers, observe court procedures, and discuss
practice and legal issues with child welfare social workers and
possibly with families and children as well. There will also be
opportunities to compare child welfare laws and practice in
the U.S. with those in Europe, especially Norway. The principles of permanency planning, family-centered practice, prevention and protection, and the twin goals in child welfare of
securing safety and nurturing children while preserving their
ties to their family will be examined. We will also explore
controversies and emerging issues in child welfare law such as
concurrent planning, "dual-track" service strategies, encouragement of the adoption of children of color by white families, and research related to the effects of poverty and oppression on the neglect of children's need. Students will analyze
the dynamic interplay of societal values, power, politics, facts
and myths as they manifest themselves in child welfare laws;
they will begin to form their own positions regarding an ideal
approach to supporting the welfare of children from a global
perspective. Evaluation of learning will be in the form of
assessments by instructors and students of the major paper or
project completed for the course.

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

Topics: Discrimination, Harassment,
and Communication
SPC 295-J
Instructor: Robert Groven
If you keep sending poems to an old flame at work, are you
harassing them? If your boss tells racist jokes at a bar after
work, are they guilty of discrimination? Why are neo-Nazis
allowed to march through Jewish neighborhoods, but they
aren't allowed to hurl racial insults at co-workers?
Discrimination and harassment are in the headlines regularly,
but most people don't know what they really mean. What
kinds of communication constitute discrimination or harassment and why? This course covers all forms of illegal discrimination including gender, race, disability, religion, and sexual
orientation. It focuses on the legal approach to discriminatory
communication, but also examines the reactions of employers, employees, and organizations generally. This course uses
the "case method" teaching approach, where many specific
examples are studied to produce general conclusions. The
course involves role-playing, game-playing, debate, and writing. Course work includes a few short papers, one project, and
one test.

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

A
t Augsburg College, we believe that
the college experience should be a time of
exploration, of discovery, of new experiences, and new possibilities. We also
believe that a liberal arts education is your
best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of
today and tomorrow. Upon graduation, you
will be able to demonstrate not only the
mastery of a major field of study, but also
the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively
Emphasis on values, perspectives,
experience, and skills
The heart of an Augsburg education is
the Augsburg curriculum-the College's
general education program, which structures your liberal arts studies through challenging and thought-provoking courses
requiring students to consider important
issues and examine values questions. These
Liberal Arts Perspectives include Western
Heritage, Intercultural Awareness, Human
Identity, the Social World, Christian Faith,
The City, Aesthetics, and the Natural World.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve you
for a lifetime-writing, speaking, critical
thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to
name a few.
Thanks to Augsburg's prime location in
the heart of a thriving metropolitan area,
many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense,
the resources of the Twin Cities are an
extended campus for Augsburg students.
Selection from over 50 majors
Augsburg offers more than 50 majorsor you can create your own major either
on campus or through the Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See
page 53 for a complete list of majors and
minors.) This five-college consortium
allows students to take courses on other
campuses without charge while a full-time
student at Augsburg. The ACTC includes
Augsburg College, College of St. Catherine,
Hamline University, Macalester College,
and the University of St. Thomas.
Students who graduate from Augsburg
are well prepared to make a difference in
the world. They stand as testaments to the
College motto, "Education for Service,"
and to the mission of the College:
To nurture future leaders in service to
the world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in
the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and
values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by
an intentionally diverse campus community.
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America,
named after the confessibn of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Gennany, in
1530. Augsburg opened in September
1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved
to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first
graduation was in 1879.
10 About Augsburg
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
The Focus Changed
August Weenaas was Augsburg's first
president (1869-1876).
This attitude began to change after
World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup,Jr.
became president. He worked to develop
college departments with an appeal to a
broader range of students than just those
intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of
Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She
spent the next 42 years at the College as a
teacher and administrator.
Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway-Sven Oftedal and Georg
Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate
Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students for theological study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part
plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students;
and third, educate the farmer, worker, and
businessman. The statement stressed that a
good education is also practical.
Augsburg's next two presidents also
emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts
of education. This commitment to church
and community has been Augsburg's theme
for over 125 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist"
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second
president (1876-1907), required students
to get pre-ministerial experience in city
congregations. Student involvement in the
community gave early expression to the
concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education
for Service."
In the 1890s, Apgsburg leaders formed
the Friends of Augsburg, later called the
Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and
personal Christianity. This change made
Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important
primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The College's mission assumed a double character-ministerial preparation
together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected
Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and
scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and
civic circles made Augsburg a more visible
part of church and city life.
After World War 11, Augsburg leaders
made vigorous efforts to expand and improve
academic offerings. Now the College was a
larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential
to a liberal arts college, offering a modem
college program based on general education requirements and elective majors.
With cumculum change came a long effort
to become accredited.
The College reached accreditation in
1954, although many alumni had entered
graduate schools and teaching positions
long before that time.
A study in 1962 defined the College's
mission as serving the good of society first
and the interests of the Lutheran Free
Church second. The seminary moved to
Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther
Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the
Lutheran Free Church merged with the
American Lutheran Church.
About Augsburg
A College in the City
President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on
involvement with the city. He wanted to
reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for
all people. During his years of leadership
the College became a vital and integral part
of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg
added the Music Hall, Mortensen Tower,
Urness Tower, the Christensen Center, Ice
Arena, and Murphy Place.
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders
who believed:
Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College
from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg's
commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in
enrollment and programs, and a cumculum that draws on the resources of the city
as extensions of campus and classroom.
Some of the accomplishments during his
tenure include instituting two graduate
degree programs, hosting national and
international figures at College-sponsored
forums and events, increasing accessibility,
and the addition of the Foss Center for
Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the
James G. Lindell Family Library.
The city-with all its excitement,
challenges, and diversity-is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Dr. William V Frame became president
in August 1997. He has initiated a strategic
planning process intended to iden* the
distinguishing marks of the Augsburg education-in both pedagogy and substance-and
a restructuring effort intended to improve
operating efficiencies and open access for the
College to new sources of capital.
An Augsburg education should be
preparation for service in community and
church;
Education should have a solid liberal
arts core with a practical dimension in
order to send out productive, creative, and
successful citizens;
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution
set in the heart of a great metropolitan center.
There are now almost 14,000 Augsburg
alumni. In a world that has changed much
since those first days of the College,
Augsburg still sends out graduates who
make a difference where they live and work.
In addition to a traditional undergraduate liberal arts and sciences "day"
program, Augsburg offers a Weekend
College program for nontraditional
students and master's degree programs
in social work and leadership.

1 students receive financial help
indirectly, since a quality liberal arts education costs more than tuition and fees cover.
The College raises that difference in giftsfrom 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.
The Board of Regents has approved the
costs listed below for the 1998-99 academic
year. The Board reviews costs annually and
makes changes as required. The College
reserves the right to adjust charges should
economic conditions necessitate.
TUITION, FEES, ROOM, AND BOARD

The amount is payable in two equal installments at the beginning of each semester.
Tuition
(part-time enrollment)

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 Office of Student
Financial Services, will help students and
their families protect access to a quality
Augsburg education in a time of increasing
financial challenge.
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 1998-99 academic year,
nearly 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.

xperiences in the classroom are an
important part of college life, but learning
and development also occur in formal and
informal activities of the College and the
metropolitan area. Whether students are
residents or commuters, the climate for
learning and living at Augsburg will add
dimension to their education.
As a college of the church, we are
concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern
for spiritual growth is evident in the
opportunities we encourage and provide
for students to explore their own faith.
Because our campus is comprised of
individuals from many different religious
and cultural backgrounds, our worship life
is characterized by a similar diversity and
richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth
groups, outreach teams and community
outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and
justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are
examples of the wide variety of activities
on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible
expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to
give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and
musicians. Each Wednesday night students
gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays,
Trinity Lutheran worship services are held
on campus, with many other churches
within walking distance.
We seek to develop a free and open
environment where people are encouraged
to use and discover the gifts and sense of
call and vocation that God has given them.
As a college of the church, we encourage
students to form values guided by our
Christian heritage, which will be the basis
for the kind and quality of life that reaches
beyond their years at Augsburg.
The college pastor and campus ministry
staff have offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles
Center for Worship, Drama, and
Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or
information.
Through Student Government, students
secure a closer relationship with and better
understanding of the administration and
faculty and provide input into the decisionmaking process at Augsburg. Student
Government also sponsors and directs student activities, protects student rights, and
provides the means for discussions and
action on all issues pertaining to student
life at Augsburg.
Student Government is organized into
the executive branch, the legislative
branch, and the judicial branch. Elections
are held in the spring for the next year.
Freshmen elect their representatives in the
fall of their first year. Many kinds of
involvement are possible-program planning, writing, editing, or service opportunities. If you want to get involved, contact
the president or vice president of the student body in their offices in the lower level
of the Christensen Center.
The Student Activities Program creates
opportunities for students to enhance their
leadership skills through active involvement in developing events, activities, and
organizations that serve the student community. Hundreds of major programming
efforts and targeted activities for specific
student interests are generated through
these efforts and make Augsburg a dynamic
and enjoyable interactive environment.
-
Student Life 41
Throughout the year, a variety of social
and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These
activities include dances, films, theme
events, name entertainment, and visiting
personalities in various fields.
The Christensen Center is the focus of
leisure-time activity on campus. Cooper's
Attic (the gameroom and student lounge)
is a popular hangout located in the lower
level. Many of the clubs that unite classroom and non-classroom related interests
meet here. Student offices in this area
include the College newspaper, the Echo;
the yearbook, The Augsburgian; Student
Government; and the Augsburg Student
Activities Council. KCMR, a student-operated nonprofit radio station serving the
needs of Augsburg and the surrounding
Cedar-Riverside community, is located in
Umess Tower.
Students have many opportunities to
participate in music and drama. In addition
to appearing on campus and in the city, the
Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and
Orchestra perform on national and international tours. Many other ensembles are
available to cover the entire range of musical styles and previous musical experience.
Students stage several plays on campus
each year under the direction of the
Theatre Arts Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of on-campus
workshops with visiting arts professionals.
INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Augsburg is affiliated with the
Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference (MIAC) and is a member of
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) Division 111. Men
annually compete in football, soccer, cross
country, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling,
baseball, track and field, and golf. Women
annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, softball,
track and field, and golf.
When Augsburg announced in
February 1995 that it was adding women's
ice hockey as a varsity sport, it became the
first college or university in Minnesota to
do so.
H INTRAMURALS
Every student is urged to participate in
some activity for recreation and relaxation.
An intramural program provides competition in a variety of team sports as well as
individual performance activities.
Broomball has been an especially popular
coed sport. Check schedules for times
when there is open use of the gymnasium
and ice arena.
SPORTS AND RECREATION
At Augsburg, sports are for the average
student as well as the intercollegiate
athlete. The campus offers on a spaceavailable basis a double-rink ice arena,
gymnasium, tennis courts, a fitness center
with workout machines and weight room,
and an air supported dome over the athletic
field for winter fitness use by walkers and
runners. (See Fitness Center on page 45.)
42 Student Life
-
Augsburg's mission focuses on student
learning in the broadest sense. As an indication of the emphasis placed on student
learning, the student and academic affairs
offices work to bring together the student
learning found in the classroom with the

Introduction.
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 '12
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 required.
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 but will be charged day school tuition ($1,564)
per course credit. If they do so they may take only 1.0 additional
course credits in Weekend College for winter trimester.
Augsburg College, as affirmed 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
and/or school administered programs, except in those instances where religion is
a bonafide occupational qualification. Augsburg College is conimitted to providing reasonable accommodations to its employees and its students.
Any questions concerningAugsburgs compliance with fideral or state regulations implementing equal access and opportunity can be directed to Lora Steil,
affirmative action coordinator, Ofice of Human Resources, CB 79,Augsburg
College, 2211 Riverside Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55454. She can be reached by
telephone, (612) 330-1023; or by e-mail, ateil@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 45. Some courses have early registration deadlines.
Internships deadline-Friday, December 11. 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.
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 $1,564 for the Interim
course. 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
$10. 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.

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 Plastics. Without this innovative
technology, life as we know it would be much different. The
variety of polymer molecules and their properties make up
various plastics. Through chemistry the variations are endless.
Many items and materials such as coatings, adhesives,
leisure/sports equipment, construction supplies, automobile
parts, clothes, medical supplies, cosmetics, and others used
every day come from different polymer molecules. In this
course we will explore and discuss the world of polymer
chemistry with a special focus on plastic. There are both synthetic and natural polymers. Most plastics come from synthesized polymers found in "plastic" wrap and trash bags. A
common natural polymer, polyisoprene, is collected from the
sap of rubber tree-golf balls and latex gloves are just two of
its popular uses. The class will also focus on the book
American Plastic: A Cultural History by Jeffrey Meikle.
Themes from the book, the different types of polymers used,
and recent themes such as the recycling of plastics will be
discussed. There will be supplemental handouts on some of
the important natural polymers not covered in the book.
There will be labs in which some polymer molecules will be
made and the various properties will be explored. This will
help to give a hands-on experience with the seemingly unlimited possibilities of properties in these long chain molecules.

American Dialects: Differences and
Attitudes
ENG 219-J
Instructor: John Schmit
Language plays an important role in our socialization and
acculturation. The way we speak tells others who we are and
tells us who others are. Our speech is a reflection of our social
and economical standing and our cultural background. For
this reason we should expect women to speak differently from
men. And yet somehow we do not. We should expect anyone
from a different background to have differences of language.
Even more importantly, we must understand these differences
in order to make sure that we understand speakers from different language communitites. This course will examine the
dialects of various English-speaking communities and attempt
to describe and understand their rules of speech: their grammatical rules, phonological rules, and their rules on discourse.
It will include lectures, student presentations, and student-led
discussions. Besides presenting a topic, students will write a
paper on the presentation topic and take a final exam.

Topics: Introduction to Asian
American Literature
ENG 282/382-1
Instructor: Joan Thompson
In an essay about multicultural American literature, Walter J.
Ong writes that "literature is organized experience and consciousness. Since cultures organize experience and consciousness variously, the study of the literature of another culture
opens new vistas both into the exterior world and into the
human heart." This course will explore some of these vistas
through readings and discussions of nonfiction works, poetry,
short stories, a play, and a novel by Asian American authors.
Some ideas the writers take as subjects through their art
include definitions of an Asian American voice, explorations of
cultural and individual identity, visions of community, and
coming of age. Class sessions will include discussion of the
historical and social contexts that influence the writers studied.
In addition to the reading, students will view at least one Asian
American film and possibly attend a relevant performance or
reading. Course grades will be based on reading journal, a
short paper, a final exam, class attendance, and participation.
Upper division students will read an additional novel and
write a research-based paper on it.

Topics: The Heroic Journey
ENG 282-J
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 traditionthe 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 romances, but will also pay particular
attention to its appearance in contemporary American popular narratives. We will consider the implications of the enduring popularity of this rendition of the heroic journey. The
heroic journey, however, is a human journey, and thus the
course will also emphasize the heroic journeys of women as
well as of men who may be neither aristocratic nor warriors.
As a lower division literature course, ENG 282 does not
assume that the student is proficient in literary analysis.
Rather the course will help students develop analytic and critical reading, thinking, and writing abilities. Course requirements: There will be 15 class meetings, each lasting three to
four hours. Course grades are based on class attendance and
participation as well as on daily writing and formal papers. If
you must miss more than one or two classes or frequently
leave class early, you should not take this course.

Can there be history without bias? Should history have entertainment as a goal? These questions, and others, form the basis
for an inquiry into the writing of history and the portrayal of
historical characters, events, and themes depicted in the cinema. Filmmakers have presented history in ways ranging from
the mundane to the sublime. In this course we will view
selected films and through readings, lectures, and discussions
examine some of the successes and failures of "History by
Hollywood." This course is intended for first-year students.

Instructor Jose Bourget
This course offers an open, fun, and adventurous environment for exploring how culture shapes human reality.
Intercultural principles are studied in the context of personal,
national, and global differences. Students identify the factors
that shape their ways of seeing the world and, through experiential activities, discover how similar factors help shape distinctive ways of seeing the world among those who are culturally different. Specific cross-cultural competencies are then
presented to help students embrace a diverse and complex
world. In addition to required readings, students will be evaluated on the basis of a journal (15 percent), completion and
analysis of a self-assessment questionnaire (15 percent),
writing of critical incidents (20 percent) and culture-specific
reports (20 percent), and daily quizzes (30 percent).

So where else in this booklet are you going to find a course
that spends a third of Interim on the alphabet? It's got four
more letters than ours, but some of the letters are the same.
There is just one new sound-the same "r" that's in Spanish.
The alphabet that features a backwards "R" and an "H"that
morphs into an "0"gets a lot of use in international business,
in science, and in the arts. More Europeans speak Russian
natively than any other language: 170 million native speakers.

Miami and Jamaica are considered the centers of Caribbean
music, where composition, recording, and world distribution
take place. The goal of this 19-day seminar is to examine and
reflect on historical, socio-political, and religious aspects of
Caribbean music. Caribbean musical forms, such as reggae
and salsa, have long been popular and effective means of
expressing cultural difference and social discontent, particularly for those with African heritage. This course will explore
the world of Caribbean music through visits to recording studios, clubs where Caribbean music is performed, and neighborhoods that brought about this music. Also studied in
depth will be social issues that have influenced music like reggae. Cities to be visited are Miami; and Montego Bay, Negrel,
and Kingston in Jamaica.
Cost is $2,460, which includes all travel, accommodations,
breakfast, and tuition. Evaluation will be done on attendance
at all sessions, keeping a journal, and a final project with
an explanation paper. This is open to all students, not just

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

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.

Group discussions and assigned readings increase student
sensitivity to architecture and other visual arts seen in the

masterpieces heard at each site. Relationships between the
various art mediums come to life through these experiences.
There is also ample time for independent exploration.
Evaluation is based on full participation in all course-related
group activities, a daily professional journal, art-music
sheets, and exams over material covered.

HISTORY
OF
WEEKEND
COLLEGE
In fall of 1982 Augsburg
began Weekend College under
the directorship of
Dr. Richard Thoni. At that
time Weekend College had
three majors, 69 students, and
offered eight courses in the
first term.
;
Today with more than 1,000
students and 14 majors,
Augsburg's Weekend College
is the largest program of its
kind in the state. Faculty in
Weekend College are full-time
Augsburg professors as well
as adjunct professionals from
the work world. The Weekend
College student body is
involved in student government, and Weekend College
students participate in academic and extracurricular
activities such as the student
newspaper, travel seminars,
and the Weekend College
Commission.
Augsburg Weekend College
continues to develop to meet
the changing needs of the adult
and nontraditional student of
today.
PURPOSE
Augsburg Weekend College
provides an educational alternative to adults who desire
college experience but who
work or have other commitments during the week. It is a
means by which men and
women may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for
professional advancement,
prepare for career change, or
pursue a personal interest in
one or more areas of the
liberal arts.
MISSION
OF THE
COLLEGE
Students who graduate from
Augsburg are well prepared to
make a difference in the
world. They stand as testaments to the College motto,
"Education for Service," and
to the mission of the College:
To nurture future leaders in
service to the world by
providing high quality educational opportunities, which are
based in the liberal arts and
shaped by the faith and values
of the Christian Church,
by the context of a vital
metropolitan setting, and by
an intentionally diverse
campus community.
THEADULTAS LEARNER A COMMUNITYOF
LEARNERS
Augsburg Weekend College is
designed to meet the needs
and preferences of adult
learners. The program is based
on the assumption that the
men and women who enroll in
Weekend College will be
mature, self-disciplined, and
well-motivated adult learners
who seek a balance of classroom experience and
individualized study. Each
course is therefore divided
into periods of concentrated
on-campus study separated by
time for independent study
and class preparation.
ALTERNATE
WEEKENDS
To accommodate this format
for learning, classes generally
meet on alternate weekends
for three and one-half hours
on either Friday evening,
Saturday morning, Saturday
afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. Each course selected by
the student involves commitment to one of these four class
periods. Laboratory sections or
additional class hours may be
scheduled during the week.
Weekend College students
may take from one to four
courses each term. Selected
courses are also available on
weekday evenings.
Essential to the goals of
Augsburg's Weekend College is
participation in a community of
adult learners. Learning can be
enhanced when the student is
active in a stable community
that provides opportunity and
encouragement for involvement
both in and out of the classroom. This community will be
enriched by the presence of
both men and women with a
variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of
community interaction,
Augsburg encourages Weekend
College students to make use of
College facilities such as the
Lindell Library and the
Christensen Center, to take the
opportunity of having shared
meals and coffee breaks, to
participate in optional lunchtime seminars, and to attend
other College activities such as
music and dramatic presentations and athletic events.
FACULTV
The heart of any educational
institution is its faculty, and
Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence
and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the
doctorate or other terminal
degree and all consider their
teaching to be the focus of their
activity. Faculty are involved in
social, professional, and a
variety of research activities,
but see these activities as
supporting their teaching. They
are actively involved in an
exciting faculty development
program that introduces them
to current thought in many
fields, but especially in teaching
techniques and theories.
Augsburg's size and small
classes encourage its tradition
of close involvement between
professors and students.
Faculty act as academic
advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.
History
Augsburg College and
Seminary was founded in 1869
in Marshall, Wisconsin, and
moved to Minneapolis in 1872.
In 1963 the name officially
became Augsburg College
when the Seminary left
campus as part of the Lutheran
Free Church merger with the
American Lutheran Church.
Location
Augsburg's 23-acre campus is
in the heart of the Twin Cities
metropolitan area, only blocks
from downtown Minneapolis
and the intersection of Interstate
Highways 94 and 35W. Adjacent
to the campus are the FairviewUniversity Medical Center, the
West Bank campus of the
University of Minnesota, and
the Mississippi River parkways.
Campus
Augsburg's campus consists
of 16 major buildings, which
include student housing
towers, Christensen Center,
main academic and administrative halls, Lindell Library,
Music Hall, and the Foss
Center for Worship, Drama,
and Communication.
Accessibility
We have made a major effort
to become one of the most
accessible campuses in the
region. Our skyway-tunnel
system lets you reach any of 10
major buildings without going
outside. In addition to building
changes, we have a dedicated
program to provide support for
students with disabilities.
Church Affiliation
Augsburg is a college of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America. Although a strong
plurality of students are Lutheran,
20 percent represent other
Protestant denominations and
21 percent represent the Roman
Catholic Church. Several other
affiliations are represented
among students and faculty.
POLICIES
It is the policy of Augsburg
College not to discriminate on
the basis of race, color, creed,
religion, sexual or affectional
preference, national or ethnic
origin, age, marital status,
gender, or status with regard
to public assistance or
disability, as required by Title
IX of the 1972 Educational
Amendments or Section 504
of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, as amended, in its
admissions policies, education
programs, activities and
employment practices.

to require that certain courses
be taken at Augsburg.
Augsburg College limits
transfer of credit from twoyear colleges once a student
has reached junior status. If all
transfer work has been taken
at a two-year college, a
maximum of 17 Augsburg
courses, or 96 quarter credits,
will be accepted toward the
minimum of 33 Augsburg
course credits required for the
baccalaureate degree.
Transfer Credit Evaluation
An evaluation of transfer
credit is completed by the
registrar upon admission for
each degree-seeking student
who is transferring previous
college work. This evaluation
indicates which of the
student's courses have been
accepted for transfer credit at
Augsburg College and how
many course credits the
student has earned in transfer.
The registrar also determines
which transfer courses may be
used to fulfill general education requirements and may
request that the student
provide course descriptions,
syllabi or other information to
assist in this determination.
For an evaluation of transfer
courses toward major, minor,
or licensure requirements, the
student should consult the
appropriate department chair.

borrower is not responsible for
interest accrued while in
school or during the six-month
grace period.
Interest begins accruing on the
date of disbursement for the
Unsubsidized Stafford Loan,
A i d
and the borrower is responsible
for all interest. The borrower

while in school or may defer
payments and allow interest to
be capitalized (added to the
balance of the loan).

through the Subsidized and
Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is
variable with a cap of 8.25
percent and changes annually
based on the 91-Day Treasury
Bill. The following borrowing
limits apply to the Stafford
Loan program:

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

Each student must apply for
graduation. Students should
apply at the start of their last
academic year to confirm
remaining graduation requirements. Application forms are
available in the Registrar's
Office.
All degree and course requirements must be completed and
verified in the Registrar's
Office prior to the anticipated
date of graduation (there may
be no incomplete courses or
open courses on the academic
record).
A c a d e m i c
(or 2.5 if receiving a
Minnesota State Student
Grant).
Registration consists of two
parts:
Scheduling (choosing
classes)-A student reserves
a space in classes for each
trimester by completing a
schedule form. Scheduling
can be done in advance of
payment.
Payment (confirmation of
schedule)-A student who
has scheduled courses must
then confirm that schedule
by paying. Dates and deadlines for scheduling and
payment are listed in the
Weekend College Catalog
Supplement.
SOMEIMPORTANT
POINTSON
REGISTRATION:
A student must be registered
for a course in order to
receive course credit for it.
A student in Weekend
College is considered fulltime if he or she registers
for two courses per trimester
Students are responsible for
obtaining registration materials from the Weekend
College Office.
A student who has not paid
or made partial payment
prior to the first day of
classes is not registered for
their course(s). The student
may register and confirm the
first class weekend, but late
fees will apply and their
space in the course(s) will
not be held.
CROSSOVER
POLICY
It is expected that Weekend
College students complete
their degree requirements in
the Weekend College
schedule; however, students
may take a course in the day
schedule as a crossover. A
Weekend College student
wishing to attend a day
schedule course, or a day
student wishing to attend a
course in Weekend College,
must schedule at the Office of
the Registrar. Students taking
courses in both the day
program and Weekend
College program schedules
that total three or more
courses on any given date will
be charged comprehensive day
program tuition. A Weekend
College student taking one day
schedule course and who has
fewer than three total courses
will be charged the current
part-time tuition for day
school.
Students will also follow these
guidelines:
Students may cross over for
one full course credit per
term.
The course selected must
have space available.
Weekend College students
may not cross over to attend
ACTC (Associated Colleges
of the Twin Cities) courses,
except when required by the
major to do so.
Courses cross-listed in the
Weekend College schedule
and the day schedule are not
subject to cross over policy.
Contact the Office of the
Registrar for more information
on the crossover policy.
WITHDRAWING
FROM
COURSES
Students may drop (also
referred to as canceling or
withdrawing) a particular
course by completing a
CancelIAddChange of
Registration form at the Office
of the Registrar before the
deadline (published in the
Weekend College Catalog
Supplement). Dropping a class
will result in a W for withdrawal on an official academic
record. Students are urged not
to abandon courses for which
they are registered because this
may result in a failing grade on
their official academic record.
The refund schedule is listed
on page 14. Note: A student
may withdraw after the refund
schedule has expired.
WITHDRAWAL
FROM
COLLEGE
Students who do not intend to
continue at Augsburg must file
a Withdrawal from College
form at the Office of the
Registrar. This is not necessary
if the student is taking a term
off; however, Weekend
College students who do not
attend courses for three
consecutive trimesters
(excluding summer) are
considered inactive and must
file an Application for
Re-admission form with the
Office of the Registrar in order
to resume their academic
program. Students are responsible for keeping the Office of
the Registrar informed of their
mailing address.
SYLLABUS
A syllabus is a course outline
written by the instructor that
may include a course description
and objectives, required text@),
course schedule, grading criteria,
and assignments. A syllabus is
especially important in Weekend
College because it advises the
student of any assignment due
the first class weekend. Students
are responsible for picking up
the course syllabus at the times
published in The Weekender,
the Weekend College informational publication.
EVALUATION AND
C RADING
Student achievement in
courses is measured by final
examinations, shorter tests,
written papers, oral reports,
and other types of evaluation.
Most courses are offered with
grading options-traditional
grading on a 4.0 scale or the
Pass/No Credit system, in
which P means a grade of 2.0
or better and N means no
credit and a grade of less than
2.0. Students who choose the
P/N option are cautioned:
In order to receive a grade
of P a student must achieve
at least a grade of 2.0.
Some graduate and professional schools do not look
favorably on a large number
of P-graded courses, or rank
each as a C.
P-graded courses do not
count toward the requirement that 14 traditionally
graded course credits be
earned at Augsburg in order
to be considered for graduation with distinction.
Transfer students should be
especially aware of this
requirement.
See P/N limitations under
Graduation Requirements on
page 29.
Note: Certain courses are
offered on one grading system
only (e.g., Lifetime Sports are
graded P/N only).
In courses where there is a
choice, students will be graded
on the traditional system
unless they indicate on their
registration that they wish to
use the P/N grading option.
Any changes in choice of
grading system must be made
according to dates published
each term. A fee is charged for
any changes made after the
published deadline for dropping without record notation.
I n f o r m a t i o n .
NUMERIC
GRADES
Numeric grades are used with
these definitions:
4.0 Achieves highest
standards of excellence
3.0 Achieves above basic
course standards
2.5
2.0 Meets basic standards
for the course
1.0 Performance below basic
course standards
0.5
0.0 Unacceptable performance
(no credit for the course)
Grades of P (Pass) or N (No
credit) are not computed in the
grade point average.
An incomplete grade (I) may
be given only in the case of
extreme emergency. To
receive an incomplete grade, a
student must receive permission of the instructor and must
file a form with the Registrar's
Office stating the reasons for
the request, the work required
to complete the course, the
plan and date for completing
the work, and comments from
the instructor. The necessary
work must be completed in
enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the
instructor and filing of a grade
before the final day of the
following trimester. If the
work is not completed by that
date, the grade for the course
becomes a 0.0.
Internships, independent
studies and directed studies
may sometimes last longer
than one term. When this is
the case, they must be
completed by the grading
deadlines within one year
from the beginning of the first
term of registration. A grade
of X is given by the instructor
to indicate that the study is
extended. It is expected that
students given X extensions
will continue to communicate
with their instructors and
demonstrate that satisfactory
progress is being maintained.
A final grade will be issued at
the end of the term in which
the work is completed and
evaluated (but not longer than
one year). An instructor has
the option of not giving an X
where satisfactory progress is
not demonstrated.
REPEATING
COURSES
A course in which a grade of
0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N has been
received may be repeated for
credit. Courses in which
higher grades have been
earned may not be repeated
for credit and a grade but may
be audited. All courses taken
and grades earned each term
remain on the academic
record. Only the credits and
grades earned the second time,
for legitimately repeated
courses, are counted toward
graduation and in the grade
point average.
AUDITINGCOURSES
Students who wish to take
courses without credit or grade
may do so by registering for
Audit (V). The charge for
auditing is listed in the current
year's Weekend College
Catalog Supplement. The
signature of the instructor is
required to register an audit.
Students who audit a course
should confer with the
instructor two weeks prior to
the beginning of the term to
determine expectations, attendance, and any other
requirements. If expectations
have been met, the course will
be listed on the transcript as
having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the
course will be listed with a
grade of W (Withdrawn).
Courses for which transfer
credit has been awarded may
not be repeated for credit at
Augsburg. This includes
courses that are substantially
similar despite different titles
or emphases.
GRADEPOINTAVERAGE
The grade point average
(GPA) is based on final grades
for all work at Augsburg. It
does not include credit and
grade points for work transferred from other colleges.
Courses taken on the P/N
grading option are recorded,
but not computed in the GPA.
The formula for computing the
GPA is:
GPA = Total grade points
divided by number of course
credits attempted.*
* Using traditionally graded
course credits only.
CLASSIFICATION
Student classifications are
updated in August and at the
end of the fall trimester.
Sophomores-Seven
credits completed.
course
Juniors - 16 course credits
completed.
Seniors-24 course credits
completed.
ACADEMIC
PROGRESS,
~ROBAT~O
AND
N
DISMISSAL
The College requires that
students maintain the
following cumulative grade
point averages (GPA):
Freshman-A student who has
taken fewer than seven credits
with a cumulative GPA of 1.6
or higher
Sophomore-A student who
has taken fewer than 16
credits with a cumulative GPA
of 1.7 or higher
Junior-A student who has
taken fewer than 24 credits
with a cumulative GPA of 1.9
or higher
Senior-A student who has
taken 24 or more credits with
a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or
higher.
It should be noted that a
minimum GPA of 2.0 is
required for graduation with
certain majors requiring a
higher minimum GPA.
Students whose academic
achievement falls below these
guidelines will either be placed
on scholastic probation at the
end of the term, will be
continued on probation, or will
be dismissed from the College.
In addition, a freshman who
receives two zero grades or a
sophomore who receives three
zero grades will be considered
for probation or dismissal.
However, dismissal from the
College is not automatic. Each
case is reviewed by the
Committee on Student
Standing. Evidence of the
student's commitment to academic progress is the major
consideration in deciding
whether or not to dismiss a
student. Those on probation
who voluntarily withdraw from
the College, as well as those
who are dismissed, must have
special permission to re-enroll.
Students may be removed
from probation when the
cumulative GPA reaches the
minimum level stated above.
Students placed on probation
as freshmen for having earned
two zero grades may be
removed from probation if
their classification changes to
sophomore, if they have not
earned additional zero grades,
and if their cumulative GPA
reaches 1.7. Students placed
on probation as sophomores,
juniors, and seniors for having
earned three zero grades may
be removed from probation if
their classification changes to
junior and their cumulative
GPA reaches 1.9.
The College reserves the right
to dismiss any student who
does not meet the guidelines
stated above. Once a student is
dismissed, he or she may
appeal the decision within 10
days to the Committee on
Student Standing.
A c a d e m i c
I
DEAN'S
LIST
The Dean's List is compiled
after each trimester, listing
students whose grade point
average for a trimester is 3.5
or better. Students must be
full-time (a minimum two full
course credits for a Weekend
College student), graded on
the traditional grading system,
with no incompletes in courses
offered for credit. If permission is given by the student, an
announcement is sent to the
hometown newspaper of each
student on the Dean's List.
ASSESSMENT
OF
PREVIOUS
LEARNING
(APL) PROGRAM
Augsburg College recognizes
that learning can and does take
place in many life situations.
Some of this learning may be
appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that
compose the academic
program of a liberal arts
college. The Assessment of
Previous Learning (APL)
program at Augsburg provides
a means by which a student's
previous learning, other than
that which is transferred from
another accredited institution,
may be presented for examination for possible credit toward
the completion of a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life
experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at
a liberal arts college. Such
learning must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to
course work in a field of study
within the Augsburg liberal
arts curriculum and (2) it can
be objectively demonstrated
either by comprehensive
examination or committee
evaluation.
The APL program at
Augsburg provides several
means by which students may
have their previous learning
assessed for credit recognition.
The following is a brief
description of each of these
means of assessment:
The College Level
Examination Program
(CLEP)
This is a series of standardized
tests which have been developed by the College Board
and are offered to students for
a small fee at regional testing
centers. (The regional testing
center for this area is the
University of Minnesota.)
Students who score at or
above the 65th percentile on a
subject examination may
.
.
receive academic credit for
that subject at Augsburg
College. Additional information about CLEP tests is
available from the Office of
the Registrar.
Departmental
Comprehensive Exams
These are available for students
to use in obtaining credit for
previous learning if the
following conditions are met:
There is a departmental
instrument available for the
subject area in question.
There is a faculty member
designated by the department to administer the
exam.
The registrar approves the
student's request to take the
exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on
a passlno credit basis only,
and there is a charge per
exam of one-half of tuition
for a full course credit.
The Portfolio Assessment
Program
This is a credit assessment
alternative in which a faculty
team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio
submitted by the student. The
faculty team is composed of
two faculty members from
.
fields of study directly related
to the student's previous
learning. Students who wish to
prepare a portfolio of previous
learning for credit assessment
should consult the Office of
the Registrar. In completing
the evaluation of a student's
previous learning, the faculty
team applies the following
criteria:
There is documentable
evidence of a cognitive
component in the previous
learning experience that
involved prescribed and/or
systematic study of content
material found within liberal
arts course work.
The learning has been objectively verified by individuals
in addition to the presenting
student.
The learning lends itself to
both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
The learning relates well to
the student's educational
goals.
The learning and skills
involved are current and
could be used at the present
time.
Students may apply for the
credit assessment process after
completing at least four course
credits of academic work at
Augsburg College with a
cumulative Augsburg GPA of
at least 2.5. It is strongly
recommended that the process
not be used when four or
fewer courses remain for graduation. There is an application
deposit to initiate the credit
assessment process and a
charge for each semester
credit applied to the student's
transcript if credit is approved.
Transcript credit will be
granted on the basis of
semester credits, and the total
number of credits granted will
be divided by four to determine the number of course
credits applied to graduation.
These credits will be recorded
with the course number of
APL 2xx. Application of this
credit toward the Liberal Arts
Perspective requirements,
upper division requirements,
and academic majors and
minors may be subsequently
addressed by the associate
academic dean in response to
a formal request by the
student.
Maximum Credit Accepted
for Previous Learning
While Augsburg College
recognizes the validity of
learning that takes place
outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be
I
.
.
placed in the context of formal
study in campus-based liberal
arts courses. Therefore,
Augsburg places a maximum
of eight course credits (about
one-fourth of a baccalaureate
degree) on transcript credit
that is obtained through
previous experiential learning.
In compiling the eight courses
of credit for previous experiential learning, the student
may use any combination of
assessment processes available
in the APL program: CLEP
exams, departmental exams,
and credit granted through
portfolio assessment.
Lifetime SportsAssessment of Previous
Learning (APL) Program
Students in the Weekend
College may complete one of
the two required graduation
skills of Lifetime Sports
through the APL process. The
Lifetime Sports graduation
skills are non-academic
courses and no credit is earned
by their completion; however,
fulfillment of two Lifetime
Sports is necessary to graduate. There is a fee for each
Lifetime Sport completed by
APL. Additional information
about Lifetime Sports APL is
available from the Weekend
College Office.

ACCOUNTING-ACC
The major in accounting
prepares students for professional careers in a wide
variety of accounting-related
positions. This major has two
tracks: General Accounting
and Professional Accounting.
The General Accounting
specialization is adequate for a
wide variety of positions. The
Professional Accounting track
includes two specializations:
public accounting and
managerial accounting. The
public accounting specialization is recommended for
positions with CPA firms. The
managerial accounting specialization is recommended for
positions with large or rapidlygrowing companies.
The two professional specializations relate to two
professional designations: the
CPA and the CMA. A CPA
(Certified Public Accountant)
focuses on external reporting;
a CMA (Certified Management
Accountant) focuses on
internal reporting. The public
accounting specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the CPA exam; the
managerial specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the CMA exam.
Designations have an experience requirement in addition
to passing the national exam.
Under the rules of the
Minnesota State Board of
Accountancy, accounting
majors in the public accounting
specialization are qualified to
sit for the CPA examination
during their last semester.
Accounting Core:
14 courses are required for
this major (an exception to
the 13-course limitation):

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

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

must complete a core group of
seven required courses, supplemented by five electives in one

Students preparing to teach
English-Language Arts on the
high school level must complete,
in addition to the professional

competency program designed to
provide a foundation in English.
Specific requirements for the
English-language arts licensure
program are outlined under the
English major in this catalog
and are subject to change per
the Department of Education.
Those who study English
believe that an intense concern
for words, ideas, and images
helps people understand who
they are and who they can
become. Writing helps us
clarify and share our thoughts.
Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of
human existence. Through the
study of English we see life's
complexity, experience life as
some others do, and understand better the world in
which we live and work.
English relates closely to other
majors. With the other arts,
English is concerned with the
pleasure that comes from
artistic creation and with the
contemplation of works of art.
With psychology and sociology, English is concerned
with individual and group
behavior. With philosophy,
English is interested in ideas
and the relation between
meaning and language. With
science, English is interested
in discovering order and determining structures. With speech
and communication, English
studies the effective use of
language. With history and the
other social sciences and
humanities, English studies the
way people have acted and
thought at different times and
indifferent cultures.

Accommodating the
Needs of Adult Learners
Augsburg College takes pride in
its focus on adult learners
throughout its programs and is
committed to education for experienced working people.
Graduate social work classes
meet during weekends in fourhour blocks on Friday evenings,
Saturday mornings and Saturday
afternoons. Students meet during
these times in small classes of
fewer than 22 students.
The Master of Social Work
program is designed to meet the
needs of a wide range of students
who have family, community or
employment obligations and/or
must travel distances to obtain
Master of Social Work
Program
The Master of Social Work
program prepares students for
entering advanced social work
practice. The program builds on
the liberal arts base of the
College and supports the
College's mission statement: to
nurture future leaders in service
to the world by providing highquality educational
Program Philosophy
The Master of Social Work
program is based on the
following:
• Preparation for ethical, competent, professional practice
• A framework for practice of
problem solving within a
systems framework and
strengths perspective
• Understanding of and respect
for diverse peoples and cultures
opportunities that are based in
the liberal arts and shaped by
the faith and values of the
• Commitment to educate the
Christian Church, by the context
of a vital metropolitan setting,
and by an intentionally diverse
campus community.
• Responsibility and service to
the broader community in the
interests of social justice
whole person
• Commitment to oppose
oppression
• Focus on client empowerment
graduate social work education.
The library, student center,
computer center, counseling,
parking, food service and many
other support services are open to
accommodate graduate students.
Faculty arrange office hours to
meet non-traditional student
need . Inexpensive accommodations may be available for students
who travel to attend the program
and wish to stay overnight.
The Master of Social Work
program is highlighted by:
• Tradition of excellence in
curriculum, faculty and students
• Intentional recruitment of
students from diverse backgrounds
• Metropolitan location
• Access to challenging and
rewarding field placements
Professional preparation at the
Master of Social Work level at
Augsburg is founded on the
following assumptions:
• Analysis and presentation of
complex social issues and solutions are based on solid
research. MSW students will
develop competencies to
conduct, analyze and present
practice-based research in oral
and written form.
• The world is interdependent in
all areas; students will become
knowledgeable of social welfare
policies and programs that
address changing needs of the
world community.
• In the interests of constructive
social change that promotes
social justice, students are
educated to address institutional
oppression created by issues of
age, gender, race/ethnicity,
class, disability, sexual orientation or religion. Social justice is
a focus throughout the program.
MSW Program
Concentrations
The Master of Social Work
program has two program
concentrations: Family Practice,
or Program Development, Policy
and Administration. Students
choose one of the two concentrations for their program focus.
Family Practice
Family, in its diverse forms, is
central to society. "Family,"
in this context, is interpreted
broadly as the nurturing system
surrounding people. It is inclusive of many areas of need.
As a growing number of familyrelated challenges face society,
there is an ever-increasing need
for professionals who base
their practice on in-depth study
of the broad spectrum of issues
that confront the family . In the
Family Practice concentration,
students will concentrate on
promoting empowerment of the
family-nurturing systems from a
developmental and holistic
perspective.
Program Development, Policy
and Administration
Social change is necessary to
foster policies and services that
respond to human need. The
Program Development, Policy
and Administration concentration
was developed in response to the
growing demand for leadership
and administration. Effective
services require participatory
development, competent practitioners, strong leadership and
effective administration. Students
in this concentration will learn
the knowledge base and develop
the skills necessary to promote
and achieve needed change, and
to develop, lead, guide and
administer programs that will
serve diverse people in a variety
of settings.

for any federal or state financial aid programs available to
graduate students.
Determination of eligibility is
based on a standard nationallyapproved methodology.
The Federal Family Education
Loan Program
• Federal Stafford Loan
Program
Available to students based on a
financial eligibility determination. Annual loan limits are up
to $18,500 per year for graduate
students, of which up to $8,500
may be subsidized, if eligible.
The aggregate loan limit is
$128,500 for graduate students
(including undergraduate
borrowing). Interest rates for
new borrowers with loan
periods beginning October 1,
1992, or later are determined
annually by the 91-day T-Bill
+3.1 %, with a cap of 8.25%.
Students with outstanding
balances on Federal Stafford
Student Loans will continue
with the interest rate on the
previous loan. No interest
accrues to the student borrower
while enrolled at least half-time
in an eligible program. The
federal government subsidizes
the interest during this time.
• Federal Stafford Loan Unsubsidized
Program characteristics (loan
limits, interest rates, etc.) are the
same as the above subsidized
Stafford Loan, except that the
interest accrues to the student
borrower while enrolled. This
loan is available to those who do
not qualify for the subsidized
Stafford Loan. A normal financial aid application is required.
• Federal Perkins Student Loan
A joint Augsburg College-federally funded program
administered through the
College for students who
demonstrate financial eligibility.
No interest accrues nor do
payments have to be made on
the principal at any time
students are enrolled at least
half-time. A student may
borrow a maximum of $3,000
per year as a graduate student
with a $30,000 maximum
(including undergraduate and
graduate amounts). Simple
interest of 5 percent and repayment of the principal (at the
minimum of $40 a month)
begins nine months after the
student graduates or leaves
school. Repayment may extend
up to 10 years.
• SELF (Student Educational
Loan Fund)
A Minnesota State loan
program.
Students may borrow up to
$9,000 per year for graduate
students with a $40,000 aggregate maximum when graduate
study is included ($500
minimum). The interest rate is
variable, paid by the borrower
quarterly while in school.
Principal payments begin 13
months after leaving school.
Students must apply for financial aid and be enrolled at least
half-time.
Veterans Educational

Veterans may be eligible for
educational benefits from the
U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs. The Office of Student

History
Augsburg College 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
College opened September
1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin
and moved to Minneapolis in
1872. Augsburg College and
Seminary changed its name to
Augsburg College in 1963
when the Lutheran Free Church
merged with The American
Lutheran Church.
Augsburg College has made a
major effort to become one of
the most accessible campuses in
the region. Without going

and elevators provide accessible
connections between nine of 15
major buildings-student
housing towers, the Christensen

~TRODUCTION
Developing Leaders for
Organizations and the
Community
The Master of Arts in
Leadership (MAL) program
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 FullTime 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. Classes meet on
alternate Saturdays for threeand-one-half hours and alternate
Thursday evenings for one-andone-half 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
with 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.
Individual Professional
Development
An important component of
the MAL program is the
professional assessment.
The assessment can help
students to identify leadership
skills and preferred work and
learning styles. Nationally
recognized test instruments are
used; based on the results,
students are encouraged to
create personalized goals
and plans to strengthen areas
that may require further
development. MAL Practica
are designed to meet student
needs in areas such as interpersonal communication,
approaches to career change,
coping with workplace
problems, time management
and other issues related to
leadership and professional
development.
~ADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL
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.
AUGSBURG
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.
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 is a
broad range of abilities and
awareness, outlined in the
Leadership

(This model was developed by Augsburg Faculty Graduate Advisory Committee, 1985-87.)
~RICULUM DESIGN
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 welldeveloped integrative abilities.
Thesis/LAP Option
Students who select the
Thesis/LAP Option are required
to develop and carry out an indepth study of some aspect of
leadership or of a leadershiprelated topic. This researchbased study gives the student
the opportunity to "tie together"
what has been learned from the
study of leadership and courserelated 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.
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. A student must
get a grade of 3.5 or higher on
this major paper to complete the
Non-Thesis requirement. If the
grade for the paper is below 3.5,
the student will revise the paper
WuRRICULUM DESIGN
Elective Courses for
Both Options: (at least
7.0 course credits)
and submit it to the MAL faculty
panel for review and approval.
The second paper will be written
while enrolled in ML 597 NonThesis Independent Project. A
student must get a grade of 3.5
or higher on this paper; it will
then be submitted to the MAL
faculty panel for review and
approval. The judgment
of the MAL faculty panel is
the final one. The independent
research projects approved
each year will be presented in
a special annual colloquium.
All courses are valued at
1.0 credit, unless otherwise
designated.

~ALUATION STANDARDS
Evaluation of academic performance in the MAL program will be
based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale with these definitions:
4.0
Achieves highest standards of excellence.
3.5
3.0
Achieves above basic course standards.
2.5
2;0
1.5
1.0
0.5
0.0
Achieves the minimum passing standard.
Performance below basic course standards.
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 for dropping without notation on the record
I
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 Graduate Programs 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.)
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.
~DENT RIGHTS
The College has adopted a
statement of student rights and
responsibilities and provides due
process in matters of disciplinary
action, grievances and grade
appeal. Students who wish to
identify appropriate procedures
for complaints should contact
the Vice President for Student
Affairs (330-1160).
The College operates in
compliance with the Family
Rights and Privacy Act and
Title IX. Students have the right
to inspect all official records
that pertain to them and that are
maintained in the Registrar's
Office and the Placement Office
(except where a waiver of
access has been signed) and
to challenge inaccurate or
misleading information.
Students have a right to
experience education free
from discrimination.
A
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.
TTENDANCE POLICY
Irregular attendance may, at the
discretion of the instructor,
adversely affect one's grade.
A
cADEMIC POLICIES
Academic Probation and
Dismissal Policies
Credit for Prior
Education
Enrollment Policy/
Leaves of Absence
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 Nor 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.
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.
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.
Students may take either one or
two courses per trimester.
Enrolling in two courses per
trimester enables a student to
complete the course work 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 director. A leave
of absence may be granted for
one calendar year. Time spent
on an official leave of absence
will not count toward the five
year deadline for degree
completion.
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
31.5 hours and are responsible
for a significant amount of individual study and preparation.
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
Calendar.
~DENT SUPPORT SERVICES
Academic advising from the
MAL director for program
planning is available. As
students approach the capstone
experience, they select thesis or
project advisers to guide them
throughout the completion of
their program. Graduate
