Introduction
Few liberal arts colleges combine the
excitement and vitality of a metropolitan
center with the smallness and intimacy of
the rural setting. Augsburg is one of the
few, very special Christian colleges which
can offer you both.
The small college atmosphere enables
you to be a participant or a spectator at a
variety of events and activities. Exhibitions, concerts, films, and lectures are
regularly available to you on campus,
as are intercollegiate or intramural athletic
programs.
Religious activities are a vital part of the
campus. The Religious Life Commission
has been established by the Student
Government to oversee, stimulate and
perpetuate religious life on the Augsburg
campus. Its primary purpose and goal i s
neither self-serving nor self-sustaining,
but rather furthering the ministry of
Christ on the Augsburg campus.
You, the student, are an individual at
Augsburg. You design your own learning
experience. While distributional and
major requirements act as guidelines,
there is latitude to design a portion o f
your own education.
At Augsburg, the innovative and experimental as well as the individual are
central. The college follows the calendar
known as the "4-1-4."
I n the study of the liberal arts, you will
encounter ideas and experiences from
the whole range of human knowledge.
The liberal arts education, however, is
more than an education of knowledge
from a number of fields. Augsburg recognizes that concentration is necessary in
your chosen field. You may choose from a
variety of majors for hundreds of career
possibilities.
Augsburg is i n the center of the Twin
Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. In this
metropolitan setting, a rich kaleidoscope
of resources and activities i s available t o
enrich your education, if you choose. You
may select an evening at the Guthrie
Theater, the Brave New Workshop, or at
any of the many galleries or coffee
houses. You might spend an afternoon
touring the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
You may choose a concert by the Minnesota Orchestra or one by the many professional touring groups that appear i n
the Twin Cities. There are numerous
opportunities for individual and team
sports. Professional sports are also available - the Twins, the Vikings, the North
Stars, and the Kicks.
Thus, we feel Augsburg i s a distinctive
combination: a strong academic program, a capable and dedicated staff, an
eager student body and a remarkable
location.

The Physical Plant
Instruction facilities and student housing
at Augsburg are conveniently located in
relation t o each other.
Remodelling and construction work to
eliminate architectural barriers is expected t o be completed during 1980. This will
include street level access from 21st
Avenue South t o a tunnel/ramp/skyway
system that connects the tower dormitories and the five buildings on theQuadrangle.
Remodelling of academic and administrative space will result in relocations of
some departments and offices by 1980-81.
Following are descriptions of buildings.
The Admissions House, located at 628-21st
Avenue South, provides offices for the
admissions staff and a reception area for
prospective students and their parents.
The George Sverdrup Library, named in
honor of Augsburg's fourth president,
was erected and dedicated in 1955. Adjacent t o Science Hall and of similar
contemporary architectural design, it
provides excellent resources for research
and study. It contains reading rooms,
seminars, work rooms, a visual-education
center, the Augsburg Archives, classrooms, and a number of faculty offices.
Science Hall, erected in 1948-49, includes
general administration offices; the Computer Center; well-equipped laboratories
for chemistry, physics, and biology; a
medium-sized auditorium; and several
classrooms and faculty offices. The Lisa
Odland Observatory on the roof of
Science Hall was completed in the summer of 1960.
O l d Main, erected i n 1900, contains a
large number of classrooms and offices.
West Hall is an apartment building purchased in 1966 shortly after it was constructed. It provides excellent housing for
married students.
Mortensen Tower, erected i n 1973,
named in honor of Miss Gerda Mortensen, dean of women at Augsburg from
1923 to 1964, contains 104 one and twobedroom apartments providing housing
for 312 upperclass students. A spacious
lounge area as well as conference rooms
are located i n this building.
Urness Tower, completed in 1967, i s an
eleven-story building providing living
quarters for 324 students. The building
was named i n honor of Mr. and Mrs.
Andrew Urness who have given several
generous gifts to the college. A unique
feature of the building i s that each floor i s
considered a "house unit" providing the
36 residents, housed two to a room, with
their own lounge, study and utility areas.
The Augsburg College Center, completed
i n 1967, i s a center of non-academic
activity on campus. The building houses
the Commons, which i s the main dining
area, plus private dining rooms and a
coffee shop. Student government and
student publications have quarters in this
building. The bookstore i s also located
here. Spacious lounges and recreational
areas are provided in this three-story
building containing 55,000 square feet of
space.
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall, erected
in 1938, was named in honor of Augsburg's second and third presidents. The
building provides space for administrative
and faculty offices and houses about 40
students.
The Music Hall, erected i n 1978, i s the
newest building on the campus. It con-
tains classroom facilities, two rehearsal
halls, a music library, practice studios,
offices for the music faculty and a 217-seat
recital hall.
The Art Studio Building, dedicated i n
1964, houses the Department of Art on i t s
two floors.
Melby Hall, the auditorium-gymnasium,
was completed i n 1961. This building,
named in honor of Professor J.S. Melby,
dean of men from 1920 t o 1942, basketball
coach and head of the Christianity department, provides excellent facilities for
the health and physical education program, intercollegiate athletics, chapel
services, and general auditorium purposes.
The Ice Arena, built i n 1974, provides two
large skating areas for Augsburg and the
metropolitan community. It is used for
hockey, recreational skating, and figure
skating.
The Speech and Drama Building was acq u i r e d i n 1959 and remodeled f o r
dramatic and other speech activities. A
theater wing addition t o Melby Hall, replacing the old music hall, is proposed for
completion late i n 1980.
Annex Houses, located i n the campus
area, provide accommodations for students, faculty, a n d staff members.
Academic Life
Augsburg i s a modern well-equipped
college which aims to provide i t s students
with a broad liberal arts education as well
as prepare them for a career. A strong
academic program in the arts and sciences
and in theology i s available. Pre-professional preparation for such fields as
engineering, medicine, law and t h e
Christian ministry is offered. The College
prepares students for graduate study in
several disciplines. Preparation f o r
careers in business, communications,
medical technology, music, nursing,
occupational therapy, social work, and
teaching i s available.
Augsburg seeks to assist i t s students
through their academic experience to
better understand themselves and the
world and to equip them to serve according t o their individual interests and
abilities.
The Student as Learner
A great deal has been written during the
last few years describing the responsibilities of a college to its students. Augsburg
recognizes its task to provide consistently
high quality opportunities for learning
along with support systems which enhance the teaching-learning process.
Learning i s not, however, a commodity
which can be purchased. It i s not equal t o
simply buying so many courses and being
exposed to the activities of professors.
Learning involves t h e solitary inner
struggle of the student who investigates,
analyzes and synthesizes the materials
and insights offered. When these have
become one's own and when the learner
moves on to new personal insights, then
learning has taken place.
Both the school and the student have
responsibilities in this process. Neither
party can elude its basic task.
Faculty
Augsburg has an able faculty who try to
take a personal interest in their students.
The student-faculty ratio i s approximately
15.5 to 1, with class size averaging 25 or
less.
Augsburg faculty members serve as
academic advisers and are available for
help on individual problems. They often
join students in discussing the political
climate, comparing notes on a visiting
speaker, or talking over the latest sports
victory while having coffee.
Library Services
Augsburg has a well-equipped library.
A relaxed atmosphere, a helpful staff and
friendly student library assistants make
the library a favorite place t o study. The
main library, centrally located next to the
Science Hall, houses over 160,000volumes
including books, periodicals, records and
various other media. The Music and
Chemistry libraries are located within the
departmental areas.
Access t o over a million volumes i s available via daily interloan and courier service
among the seven private liberal arts colleges and the Hill Reference Library.
Through Minitex, the statewide network,
the additional resources of Minnesota
and Wisconsin libraries are accessible to
the Augsburg faculty and students.
A s e r v i c e - d e d i c a t e d staff p r o v i d e s
students with assistance to meet diverse
information needs including instruction
i n the use of the library, standard reference service, guidance in pursuing term
paper topics, and directions to other local
sources of information.
The AV Center of the Library provides
facilities for classes in broadcasting and
audio-visual materials. Assistance with the
production of slides, transparencies, filmstrips and audiohide0 tape recordings
are available f o r b o t h faculty and
students. Equipment such as movie and
slide projectors and tape recorders may
be borrowed for limited periods; film
bibliographies and other advice o n
materials selection are also available.
The 4-1-4 Calendar
Augsburg follows the 4-1-4 calendar. Two
15-week semesters are separated by a 4week interim in January. During each
semester the student generally enrolls in
four courses; during the interim concentration is on one subject.
The interim period i s an especially exciting time. The whole world becomes an
arena of learning. Creative energies and
individual interests determine the course
of study. Innovation and experimentation
are encouraged i n this change from the
general academic schedule. Interest in
music may take form i n the study and
presentation of a concert program. Interest in people may find form in the study
and participation in activities of a social
agency. Newspapers and advertising
agencies provide opportunities for those
interested in communications. Whether
your interests are sedate or spectacular
the interim will afford the opportunity t o
experience and experiment while learning.
General Education
Requirements
Distribution requirements for graduation
are minimal, affording the student considerable f r e e d o m i n t h e choice o f
courses. A student seeking a liberal arts
education would probably choose many
of them even if they were not required.
In selecting courses t o meet the general
distribution requirements, students may
select an approved course in the areas of
mathematics or physics, chemistry or biology, psychology or sociology, economics o r p o l i t i c a l science, history o r
philosophy, and English or speech, communication and theater arts. The study of
a foreign language is required. Proficiency in English writing must be demonstrated. One course from an approved list
of courses containing an emphasis on
urban concerns i s required as is prof i c i e n c y i n t w o l i f e t i m e sports.
For details on general education requirements, see the Academic Administration
section.

Pre-Professional Training
Students who plan to enter the fields of

planned accordingly. Augsburg offers a
wide scope of courses in the natural and
social sciences, i n the humanities, and in
religion and philosophy which will provide the necessary preparation for future

learning and development also occur in
formal and informal activities and opportunities of the college and metropolitan
area. Whether you are a resident or commuter student, you'll find that the climate
for learning and living at Augsburg can
add dimension to your education.
Religious Life
An important part of daily life at Augsburg
is religious activity. The Religious Life
Commission, chaired by students and
composed of students and faculty, sees its
major responsibility in relation t o worship, devotional life and the stimulation of
faith. Chapel services are held three times
a week and are both experimental and
traditional in character. The Wednesday
evening Eucharist service in the College
Center is a valued worship experience for
many students. Students, faculty and staff
participate voluntarily. Special events are
sponsored throughout the year and a
number of groups having a religious
emphasis meet regularly. The College
Pastor has an office in the College Center
to be readily available for counseling,
consultation or ways to get more involved
in religious activity and groups.
Social and Cultural
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, special dinners,
name entertainment, and visiting personalities in various fields.
The College Center is the focus of leisuretime activity on campus. Offices for the
College newspaper, the Augsburg Echo,
and the yearbook, the Augsburgian, are
on the lower level. Many of the clubs that
unite classroom or non-classroom related
interests meet in the Center.
There are several opportunities for participation in music and drama. In addition
to performing on campus and in the city,
the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and
Orchestra tour. The String Ensemble, the
Chorale, the Jazz Ensemble and several
student-organized groups such as the
Cabaret Singers also perform on and off
campus. Several plays are given o n
campus each year under the direction of
the theater arts department.
Recreation
Every student is urged t o participate in
some activity for recreation and relaxation. An intramural program provides

Student Services
Augsburg College i s concerned with educating the whole person and recognizes
that the context in which learning takes
place i s a critical factor in achieving optimal growth. Knowledge grows from more
than intellectual endeavors. Expanding
relationships, exploring values, identifying life styles, developing autonomy and
interdependence, finding purpose and
commitment - all combine with intellectual content and skills to produce the
desired educational impact of the college
on its students.
The Division of Student Affairs has been
created to support this task. During the
summer before your freshman year, or at
the time of transfer, you will receive a
copy of SEMAPHORE: Student Guide to a
College Education. This book will help
you assess the possibilities in your education, choices to make, directions to
consider and different destinations for
which t o plan. SEMAPHOREwas designed
to act as a sort of road map for you.
The Center for Student Development
provides a variety of services to help make
your journey as rich and meaningful as
possible. Some of the opportunities you
may wish to participate i n are listed
below.
Summer Orientation. You can plan your
first academic year and register for classes.

classmates, faculty, and staff as well as with
the campus. You stay in the dormitory,

housing alternatives is provided. The residence hall program is designed to promote student growth through relationships with other students and being an
active participant in group decisionmaking. Each residence unit has one or
more Resident Staff who are able to

Women's Awareness, International Living,
Simplified Life Styles, and Scandinavian
Studies.

PREPARING A BUDGET
Writing down realistic estimates of all
expenses and of all potential financial
resources i s the best way to do your
financial planning. Both your own financial ability and that of your family are
considered in evaluating your need for
financial aid. Your budget should include
amounts for tuition and fees and for
books and supplies. Tuition and fees for
1980-81 are $3660 per year. Books and
supplies may be estimated at $225 per
year. Room and board i s $1760 per year.
Other college-related expenses are those
for transportation to and from the campus. Estimates should be based on nine
months.
Personal maintenance costs vary, but
amounts should be budgeted for:
Clothing, cleaning
Recreation, entertainment
Personal spending, cosmetics,
incidentals
Medical (doctors, dentists, eyeglasses,
etc.)
After you have written down estimates of
your expenses, make a list of all possible
sources of income, such as: contributions
from parents' earnings; personal and
family savings; personal earnings during
vacation periods; earnings from part-time
jobs during academic year; benefits from
Social Security and/or Veteran's Administration; aids or loans from sources other
than family, friends or Augsburg (i.e.,
scholarships from state, church, civic and
school).
Students should check with their employers, their parents' employers and any
union t o which a family member belongs
for possible scholarship programs. High
school guidance counselors may have
information about student aid offered by
church, civic, professional, or fraternal
organizations i n a given locality. Following
you will find a summary of financial aid
programs.
Information on a deferred payment plan
i s available from the Augsburg College

subject to dismissal at the end of the
following spring term. A student who has
a poor academic record may be strongly
advised t o withdraw before the end of the
spring term.
Dismissal from the College will not be
automatic. Each case will be reviewed by
t h e Committee o n Admissions and
Student Standing.
A student who has been o n probation for
two terms and withdraws from the Cod
lege voluntarily must havespecial permission to re-enroll.
Evaluation and Grading
Student achievement in courses i s measured primarily by means of final examinations. Shorter examinations or tests,
written papers, oral reports, and other
types of evaluation are also used.
Most courses are graded on a scale of 4.0
to 0 with definitions as follows:
4.0 Achieves highest standards o f
excellence.
3.5
3.0 Achieves above basic course
standards.
2.5
2.0 Meets basic standards for the
course.
1.5
1.0 Performance below basic course
standards.
.5
0. Unacceptable performance ( n o
credit for the course).
Most courses are also offered on a Pass/
N o Credit system, with P meaning a grade
of 2.0 or better and N meaning no credit
and a grade of less than 2.0. O n the P/N
grading system the grade is recorded but
not computed in the grade point average.
A student may count a maximum of eight
courses of P toward graduation. For transfer students the maximum is an averageof
two courses per year. Two courses in the
major (except Elementary Education) and
one in the minor may be on P/N grading
system if approved by the department
chairperson.
Sociology 383 and several interim courses
are graded only on the P/N grading system. Some education courses are graded
only on the P/N system or only o n the
traditional system. English 111 is graded P
or N, or 2.0-4.O/N. Some other courses are
graded only P, 1.0, N. Students may select
the traditional grading system i n most
other courses. Students are cautioned t o
use the P/N grade option with care since
some graduate and professional schools
do not look favorably on a large number
of P-graded courses.
Students must indicate on their registration form those courses which they wish
to take on the P/N grading system. Any
changes in choice of grading system must
be made according t o dates published
each term. A fee i s charged after the first
five days of classes.
Music organizations and performance
studies, Chemistry Seminar and Lifetime
Sports are graded P/O.O.
An incomplete grade (I) may be given
only in the caseof extreme emergency. To
receive an I grade, a student must file a
petition with the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing stating the
reasons for requesting it, the plan and
date for removing it, and comments from
the instructor of the course. If permission
to receive an I grade is granted, it must be
removed during the following semester.
If the incomplete is not removed during
the following semester, it becomes the
grade submitted by the teacher along
with the incomplete.
A grade of X may be given for an Independent Study or Directed Study course
that i s t o be spread over more than one
semester. Such a course must be completed during the second semester or the
grade of X will remain on the record.
A course in which a grade of 0,1.0,1.5, N,
1, or X has been received may be repeated
for credit. All courses taken remain on the
academic record. Only the credits and
grades earned the second time arecounted toward graduation and i n the grade
point average. Courses in which higher
grades have been earned may not be
repeated for credit; they may, however,
be audited.
Students who wish t o fake courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Such students should
confer with the professor within t w o
weeks of the beginning of the term to
determine expectations, attendance requirement, etc. If expectations have been
met, the course will be listed on the
student's transcript as having been
audited. If expectations have not been
met, the course will be listed witti a grade
of W (withdrawn).
Full-time students may audit a course
without charge. The charge for part-time
students i s listed under Expenses.
Dean's List
The Dean's List i s composed of students
whose grade point average for a semester
is 3.5 or better based on a minimum of
three full courses (or equivalent) graded
on the traditional grading system, with no
incompletes i n courses offered for credit.
The Dean's List i s published in the Augsburg College Now, and students receive a
letter of commendation from the Dean of
the College.
Graduation with Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined
as follows:
Summacumlaude
Magnacumlaude
Cum laude
3.8 - 4.0 g r a d e
average
3.6 - 3.79 grade
average
3.3 - 3.59 grade
average
To qualify for graduation with distinction,
transfer students must have completed
two years (14traditionally graded courses)
of work at Augsburg.
Independent Study
An opportunity for independent study i s
offered through many departments. This
i s available to conscientious students who
demonstrate sufficient background and
preparation in a given field to carry out
work on an independent basis.
Most departments also offer an opportunity for directed study. As the term
suggests, this requires considerably more
faculty direction than for independent
study, and a student i s not expected t o
have as much background as for independent study. Directed study is offered
on a lower division level.
Students interested in registering for
either independent study or directed
study must first secure permission from
the faculty who will direct the study.
A student who registers for independent
study should normally expect to complete
it i n one semester but may extend it into
the next term by permission of the instructor. I n such cases, a grade of X i s
given at the end of the first term, and the
student will register again for the course
i n order t o receive the final grade.
A maximum of two courses in Independent Study and/or Directed Study may
count toward the 35 courses required for
the degree.
In the Five College Cooperative Program,
students may cross-register for independent studies only when the major field i n
which the independent study is proposed
is not available on their home campus.
Requests for exceptions t o this policy
should be made directly to their own
academic dean. The student will be
charged for any special costs attached t o
independent study by the host campus.
Veterans
Augsburg College is approved by the
State Approving Agency for Veterans
Training.
Veterans should consult with the Office of
the Registrar regarding completion of the
enrollment certificate and the forwarding
of other information t o the Veterans
Administration.
Students registered for three or more
courses are classified as full-time students.
It i s the responsibility of each veteran t o
report any change i n registration and/or
academic load to the Office of the
Registrar.
Veterans will be referred to the State
Approving Agency after any period of two
consecutive terms in which they did not
earn a minimum of three courses per
term. An incomplete grade (I) may be
given only i n t h e case of extreme
emergency. See section o n Grading.
Grade reports are issued t o students following each term.
A non-punitive grade which brings a
veteran'; academic load for the term
below three courses will be reported t o
the Veterans Administration. Veterans
will need to meet the requirements of the
Veterans Administration regarding repayment of educational assistance funds
received.
General Information

University (Houghton, Michigan), i n a
Three-Two Plan of studies which will
enable a student to earn the Bachelor of
Arts degree from Augsburg College and
an engineering baccalaureate degree
from Washington University or Michigan
Technological University in a five-year
period. The first three years are spent at
Augsburg followed by two years at the
affiliated university. Students accepted
into the program are guaranteed admission t o the engineering school, provided
they have met course requirements, have
a B average, and are recommended by a
designated representative of Augsburg
College. Students receiving financial aid
who are participants in the Three-Two
Plan will be encouraged to apply to the
engineering school of their choice for
continuing support. Their applications
will be evaluated using need and academic performance as criteria. Minimum
course requirements for admission t o the
Three-Two Plan are: Math 124, 125, 224,
226; Physics 121,122; Chemistry 115, 116;
Computer Science 245; English 111; additional courses to meet general education
requirements and a total of 27 courses at
Augsburg. Normally Math 124, 125 and
Physics 121,122 are taken i n the freshman
year. Students are encouraged t o apply
for admission t o the program during their
sophomore year. Early consultation with
the adviser, Ken Erickson, i s encouraged.
English
Chairpersons: Catherine Nicholl, Richard
Sargent
MAJOR: 9 courses (above I l l ) , including
one course i n American literature, one
course i n the Western literary tradition
(271 or 272) and three courses in British
literature. Of the British literature courses,

one must survey a number of writers (for
example, 336,337, or 423). All majors must
take 225, Advanced Expository Writing.
Majors are encouraged to take, early in
their college work, course 245, Introduction t o Literature. Majors are strongly
urged t o consult their departmental
adviser regularly. A student with a double
major or special program that involves
considerable work in the English department should also work closely with an
adviser in the English department:

for the major and a course in the English
language. Courses i n early American litera t u r e , Shakespeare, a n d f i l m a r e

consider developing an area of emphasis
broader than the major as listed above.
The most likely areas would be a British
concentration, an American concentration, a world literature concentration, and
a writing concentration. A student arranges a concentration by careful selec-
tion of electives in the major, by the
design of an independent study course
that applies t o the concentration, and by
the selection of some related courses
outside the English department.

Philosophy
Chairperson: Kenneth Bailey
Courses 110, 120, and 130 are recommended for fulfilling the general education requirement.
MAJOR: 9 courses, including 130, 241,
242, 343, and 344.
110 I N T R O D U C T I O N T O PHILOSOPHY:
IDEAS A N D M E T H O D
M I N O R : 5 courses, including two courses
from 241,242, 343, and 344.
H O N O R S MAJOR: Admission t o the
Philosophy Honors program i s by recommendation of the philosophy faculty. Such
recommendations will be made at the end
of the junior year. The program will consist of an honors thesis on an approved
topic of the student's choice, involving
research above the course level, and a
defense of this thesis before the faculty of
the department.
Though each person has his own set of
ideas and beliefs, rarely have they been
critically analyzed or evaluated for their
consistency, adequacy or truth. One reason for this i s that individuals lack the
needed skills. Another is that they may
have had little opportunity to examine
critically some of the ideas basic to western culture. The purposes of this course
are to provide the student with some
experience i n examining ideas, and
thereby to sharpen the critical and analytical skills required t o evaluate and construct a system of ideas and beliefs. (Fall,
Spring)
120 ETHICS
Sometimes you say that a certain action i s
right or condemn it as wrong. Why do you
think it i s right? Because you like it? Are
there better reasons for thinking something right or wrong? This course takes a
long, hard look at possible grounds for
making moral decisions, and at the moral
judgments about personal and social
issues resulting from them. (Fall, Spring)
130 L O G I C
Suppose someone gives you reasons, and
then says you must accept a particular
conclusion. Must you? When does a conclusion follow from premises? Here we
examine the rules which govern valid
arguments and work to develop your
ability to recognize and construct sound
arguments. (Fall, Spring).
241 HISTORY O F PHILOSOPHY I: P L A T 0
A N D ARISTOTLE
How, when and why did philosophy begin? Who were Socrates, Plato, Aristotle
and the Stoics; what did they believe?
Why did Plato think that the physical
world was not overly important, and what
did he value? How did Aristotle, the
scientist, respond to this? The answers to
these and other questions will be considered as to reveal what these great
philosophers can contribute to our contemporary problems and ideas. (Fall)
242 HISTORY O F PHILOSOPHY 11:
MEDIEVAL A N D RENAISSANCE
PHILOSOPHY
The Middle Ages are often regarded as a
period of darkness, whereas the Renaissance was a time of rediscovery and
enlightenment. H o w dark were t h e
Middle Ages; how enlightened the Renaissance?We shall attempt t o discover the
grandeur of the Medieval philosophers,
learn how the Christian tradition was
carried forward i n the Age of Faith, explore the worship of the world and the
individual i n the Renaissanceand the new
methodology of the 17th Century rationalists. (Spring. Suggested prior course,
247.)
343 HISTORY O F PHILOSOPHY Ill:
ENLIGHTENMENT A N D 19TH
CENTURY PHILOSOPHY
Where does knowledge begin? I n innate
ideas or with experience? What can we
really know about the world? What impact did Romanticism have on philosophy? This course studies the major
empiricists of the 18th century (Locke,
Berkeley, Hume). Kant's synthesis of philosophy, 19th century idealism, and the
reaction to idealism in men such as Marx,
Kierkegaard and Nietzsche. (Fall. Suggested prior course, 247 or 242.)
344 HISTORY O F PHILOSOPHY IV:
C O N T E M P O R A R Y PHILOSOPHY
What lies behind 20th century philosophy's love affair with language? I s truth
that which works? Can we remake philosophy as a rigorous science? These and
other issues are dealt with in astudy of the
m a j o r representatives o f l i n g u i s t i c
analysis, pragmatism, existentialism, and
phenomenology. (Spring. Suggested
prior course, 247, 242, or 343.)
350 PHILOSOPHY O F RELIGION
What is the relation between faith and
reason? Does God exist, and what can be
said about him if he does? Can we reconcile the goodness of God with human and
animal suffering? I s man really immortal?
Are miracles possible?We intend to conduct a systematic inquiry into these questions which form the basis of religious
beliefs. (Suggested: one prior course in
philosophy.)
355 ORIENTAL PHILOSOPHY
A study of the basic concepts and philosophies which underlie Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. (Suggested: one prior course in philosophy.)
360 PHILOSOPHY O F LANGUAGE
Every day we use language to buy and sell,
praise and berate, communicate with
friends. What i s language? Could an individual be fully human without it? How
does language relate to the world - can
we really learn about the nature of things
from words? Do the mathematician and
the scientist have a language?I s it possible
to have a language which only one individual can understand?We shall explore
how philosophers have responded to
these and other important questions
about language. (Suggested prior course,
730 or 344.)
365
PHILOSOPHY O F SCIENCE
The scientist's knowledge of the world i s
purported to be profoundly different and
better than that of the non-scientist. I s this
true? What constitutes scientific knowledge? Are there certain real questions
which science cannot answer? How certain are the methods used by the scientist
to recover knowledge? In addition to
dealing with these questions,students will
work in researching and developing philosophical problems i n the special
sciences. (Suggested prior course, 730 or
one course in natural science.)
370 EXISTENTIALISM
Studies in the writings - both philosophical and literary - of prominent
Existentialist authors. We will examine
what it means to be a being-in-the-world,
and explore such themes as absurdity,
freedom, guilt, despair and paradox.

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 are cautioned to use the P/N

Philosophy
Bruce Reichenbach (Chairperson), Kenneth Bailey, Mark Fuehrer
Major: 9 courses, including 130,241,242,343,344, and one course in the400's (other
than 499). Five of the courses must be upper division.
Minor: 5 courses, including t w o courses from 241,242,343,

student's choice, involvin research above the cour5e level, and a defense of this
thesis before the faculty ofthe department.
Note: Courses 110, 120, and 130 are recommended for fulfilling the general
education requirement.
110 Introduction to Philosophy: Ideas and Method
Though each person has his own set of ideas and beliefs, rarely have they been critically
analyzed or evaluated for their consistency, adequacy or truth. One reason for this is that
individuals lack the needed skills. Another i s that they may have had little opportunity to
examine critically some of the ideas basic to western culture. The purposes of this course
are to provide the student with some experience i n examining ideas, and thereby to
sharpen the critical and analytical skills required to evaluate and construct a system of ideas
and beliefs.
120 Ethics
Sometimes you say that a certain action i s right or condemn it as wrong. Why do you think it
i s right? Because you like it? Are there better reasons for thinking something right or
wrong? This course takes a long, hard look at possible grounds for making moral decisions,
and at the moral judgments about personal and social issues resulting from them.
130 Logic
Suppose someone gives you reasons, and then says you must accept a particular
conclusion. Must you? When does a conclusion validly follow from premises? Here we
examine the rules which govern valid arguments and work to develop your ability to
recognize and construct sound arguments.
241 History of Philosophy I: Plato and Aristotle
How, when and why did philosophy begin? Who were Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and the
Stoics; what did they believe? Why did Plato think that the physical world was not overly
important, and what did he value? How did Aristotle, the scientist, respond to this? The
answers to these and other questions will be considered so as to reveal what these great
philosophers can contribute to our contemporary problems and ideas. (Fall)
242 History of Philosophy 11: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy
The Middle Ages are often regarded as a period of darkness, whereas the Renaissancewasa
timeof rediscovery and enlightenment. How dark were the Middle Ages; how enlightened
the Renaissance?We shall attempt to discoverthe grandeur of the Medieval philosophers,
learn how the Christian tradition was carried forward in the Age of Faith, explore the
worship of the world and the individual in the Renaissance, and the new methodology of
the 17th Century rationalists. (Spring. Suggested prior course, 241.)
343 History of Philosophy Ill: Enlightenment and 19th Century Philosophy
Where does knowledge begin? In innate ideas or with experience? What can we really
know about the world? What impact did Romanticism have on philosophy? This course
studies the major empiricists of thelBth century (Locke, Berkeley, Hume). Kant's synthesis
of philosophy, 19th century idealism, and the reaction to idealism by men such as Marx,
Kierkegaard and Nietzsche. (Fall. Suggested prior course, 241 or 242.)
344 History of Philosophy IV: Contemporary Philosophy
What lies behind 20th century philosophy's love affair with language? Is truth that which
works? Can we remake philosophy as a rigorous science? These and other issues are dealt
with in a study of the major representatives of linguisticanalysis, pragmatism, existentialism,
and phenomenology. (Spring. Suggested prior course, 241,242, or 343.)
350 Philosophy of Religion
What i s the relation between faith and reason? Does God exist, and what can besaid about
him if he does? Can we reconcile the goodness of God with human and animal suffering? I s
man really immortal? Are miracles possible? We will conduct a systematic inquiry into
these questions which form the basis of religious beliefs. (Suggested: one prior course in
philosophy.)
355 Oriental Philosophy
A study of the basic concepts and philosophies which underlie Hinduism, Buddhism,
Confucianism and Taoism. (Suggested: one prior course in philosophy.)
362 Political Philosophy
As residents of an urban college we are citizens of the city. What i s the relation between the
citizen and the city? In a larger context, what i s the origin of the State and the basis for its
laws?What relation holds between law and morality, and between God, the Church and
the State?This course studies the key concepts of politics found in the tradition of western
political thought.
365 Philosophy of Science
The scientist's knowledge of the world i s purported to be profoundly different and better
than that of the non-scientist. Is this true?What constitutes scientific knowledge?Are there
certain real questions which science cannot answer? How certain are the methods used by
the scientist to recover knowledge? In addition to dealing with these questions, students
will work in researching and developing philosophical problems in the special sciences.
(Suggested prior course, 130 or one course i n natural science.)
370 Existentialism
Studies i n the writings - both philosophical and literary - of prominent Existentialist
authors. We will examine what i t means to be a being-in-the-world, and explore such
themes as absurdity,freedom, guilt, despair and paradox. (Suggested: One prior course in

Introducing Augsburg
Few liberal arts colleges combine t h e excitement and vitality of a
metropolitan center with t h e smallness and intimacy of the rural
setting. Augsburg is o n e of t h e few, very special Christian colleges
which can offer you both, as indicated in t h e Mission Statement
adopted by t h e Faculty and t h e Board of Regents in 1977.
Mission Statement
Augsburg is an accredited four-year liberal arts college of The American Lutheran
Church located in Minneapolis, at the center of the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
The coeducational student body of approximately 1500, while largely of Lutheran
orientation, includes students of diverse ages from a wide variety of religious,
cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
For over 100 years the college has emphasized intellectual freedom in the search
for knowledge in its disciplines, responsiveness t o the needs of society and the
world, and preparation of students for service and leadership in church and
society.
The mission of Augsburg College i s to educate students through a distinctive combination of commitment to the Christian faith, the liberal arts and excellence in
academic program.
Augsburg College is known for its people, who strive t o be a supportive, informal
and free community of learners involved with the metropolitan environment.
The academic program is primarily committed to providing students with a broad
background in a variety of subject areas as well as encouraging personal development. Excellence in the academic programs has characterized and is a continued goal of the college.
Augsburg College:
Challenges students with a portion of the knowledge and thought which has
been formative within human history and culture through a wide variety of ideas,
disciplines and selected professional and pre-professional programs;
Assists students in developing intellectual skills as well as in selecting a career;
Encourages within students the attitudes and skills necessary t o prepare them
to be learners throughout their lives.
Education at Augsburg is based on the belief that the world i s Cod's, entrusted to
us for care, exploration and understanding.
As a Christian community the college embraces a wide range of religious expression and participation. As part of its academic program Augsburg seeks t o give
all its students an informed understanding of the Christian faith and heritage as
well as an opportunity to encounter other segments of the world's religious heritage. In addition t o this intellectual task the aim of the college is t o help students
understand the Christian faith as relevant for their own experience and for participation in the commitment to the role of the Christian community in the modern
world.
Augsburg College seeks to act responsibly within the metropolitan community.
The quality of Augsburg's education is enriched by the people, culture and educational resources provided by its location. The college i s also aware that it has
a responsibility t o contribute t o the larger community. In doing this, the college
directs several of its programs specifically at the metropolitan setting, provides
areas of study not available elsewhere in the area, and offers itself as an educational resource for a variety of new student populations.
History - Fjord to Freeway
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
t o Minneapolis in 1872. The first college students were enrolled in 1874 and the
first college graduation was in 1879.
The school was officially named Augsburg College in 1963 when its former sponsor, the Lutheran Free Church, merged with The American Lutheran Church.
Augsburg Seminary joined with Luther Theological Seminary in St. Paul that same
year. Continuing ties with this heritage are reflected in the College Center's Augsburg Room and in replication of the original sign for Old Main. From Fjord to
Freeway, a candid history of the College and its people during the first 100 years,
by Augsburg's Carl E. Chrislock, is available in the College Bookstore.
Location and Campus
Augsburg's campus is located in the heart of the Twin Cities, surrounding Murphy
Square, the first of 155 parks in the "City of Lakes." The University of Minnesota
West Bank campus and t w o of the city's largest hospitals, Fairview and St. Mary's,
are adjacent t o the campus. Downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul are minutes

Financial Aid
The financing of post-secondary education may well be one of the more significant
investments that an individual or a family will make in an entire lifetime. Because
this is the case, proper planning and wise choices are important, not only in the
selection of an institution, but also in the methods utilized in paying the related
expenses. Augsburg College, through its Office of Student Financial Services, is
committed to help provide students and their families with the needed assistance,
both monetary and advisory, that will protect access t o a quality education in
spite of increasing costs.
Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg is 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.
For the academic year 1983-84 approximately 85% of all students at Augsburg
received scholarships, grants, loans and part-time employment totalling over
$5,800,000 from all aid sources.
The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student
and family. Financial aid is intended to supplement student and family resources.

college life, but learning and development also occur in formal and
informal activities of the College and the metropolitan area. Whether
you are a resident or commuter student, you will find the climate
for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to your
education.
Campus Ministry
As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual, as well as academic
and social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth i s evident in the opportunities
we encourage and provide for students t o explore their own faith.
Since our campus i s 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, fellowship groups, Gospel teams, planning
committees, retreats, Peace and Justice forums, Hunger conferences, concerts,
plays and movies are examples of the wide variety of activities on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where students,
faculty and staff gather each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday t o give thanks and
hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers. Each Wednesday night
students gather for Holy Communion.
We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged
t o gradually change and discover the gifts that God has given them. As a college
of the church, we encourage students to form their own values which will be the
basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond one's years at Augsburg.
The College Pastor has an office in the College Center to be readily available for
counseling, consulation or information on ways to get more involved in the campus ministry.
Student Government
Student government is the vehicle through which students can secure a closer
relationship and better understanding with the administration and faculty, and
provide input into the decision-making 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 t o 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, except for freshmen who
elect their representatives in the fall of their first year. Many kinds of involvement

grading option. Any changes in choice or grading system must be made accarding
to dares published each term. A fee i s charged for any changes after the first five
days of classes.
Explanation of Grades
Number grades are used with these definitions:
4.0
3.5
3.0
2.5
2.0
1.5
1.0
0.5
0.0
Achieves highest standards of excellence
Achieves above basic course standards
Meets basic standards for the course
Performance below basic course standards
Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course)
Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average.
A grade of P represents work at or above the 2.0 level; N represents work at the
1.5 or below level.
An incomplete grade may be given only in the caw of extreme emergency. 60
receive it, a studerrt must file a petition with the Carnrnittee on Student Standing
stating the reasons for the request, the plan and date for removing it, and comments from the instructor. If permission i s granted, the incomplete must be removed during the following semester, or it becomes the grade submitted by the
teacher along with the incomplete.
A grade of X may be given for an independent or directed study course or internship that is to be spread over more than one semester. Such a course must
be completed during the second semester or the grade of X will remain on the
record. If X is given, the course must be registered for as 1X in the following term
in order that credit and a grade may be assigned.
A course in which a grade of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, N, I, or X has been received may be
repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not
be repeated for credit, but may be audited. All courses taken remain on the
academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are counted
toward graduation and in the grade point average.
A course is given a grade of W when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping
classes without a notation on the record.
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering
for Audit 0.Full-time students may audit a course without charge. The charge
for part-time students is listed under College Costs. Students who audit a course
should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term
t o determine expectations, attendance and any other requirement. 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).
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg.
It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the PIN grading option are recorded, but not computed
in the GPA.
Classification
Sophomores - 7 courses completed with at least 14 grade points.
Juniors - 16 courses completed with at least 32 grade points.
Seniors - 25 courses completed with at least 50 grade points.
Advanced Placement
Advanced placement in courses beyond the beginning level is granted to students
with scores of 3, 4, and 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement Program Test. Additional credit or placement is at the discretion of the department. Inquiries should
be addressed t o the Office of the Registrar.
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
APL program (Assessment of Previous Learning) at Augsburg provides a means by
which a student's previous learning, other than that which is transferred from
another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible
credit toward the completion of a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life experience, however, i s appropriate for credit recognition
at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: 1) it is
relevant t o coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and 2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation.
The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may
have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a
brief description of each of these means of assessment:
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) 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 are available for students t o use in obtaining
credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met:
A. There is a departmental instrument available for subject area in question.
B. There is a faculty member designated by the department t o administer the
exam.
C. The Student Standing Committee approves the student's request t o take the
exam.
Credit for departmental exams is available on a pass/no credit basis only, and
there is a charge per exam.
The Credit Assessment Program (CAP) is a credit assessment alternative in which
a faculty committee completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted
by the student. The faculty committee is composed of the Registrar and two faculty
members from fields of study directly related t o the student's previous learning.
Informational meetings and consultation are provided for students who wish t o
prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment. This may include
a personal meeting with the CAP Committee. In completing the evaluation of a
student's prev?ouslearning, the CAP Committee applies the following criteria:
A. There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous
learning experience that involved prescribed and/or systematic study of content
material found within liberal arts coursework.
B. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition t o the
presenting student.
C. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
D. The learning relates well to the student's educational goals.
E. The learning and 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 courses of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg
GPA of at least 2.5. There is an application deposit (applicable to transcript charge)
to initiate the credit assessment process, and a charge for each semester credit
applied t o the student's transcript.
Transcript credit will be granted on the basis of semester credits, and the total
number of credits granted will be divided by four to determine the number of
courses applied t o graduation. These credits will be recorded with the course
number of CAP 2xx. Application of this credit toward distribution requirements
and academic majors and minors may be subsequently addressed by the departments involved in response t o 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 placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal
arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of nine courses (one-fourth
of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is obtained through previous
experiential learning. In compiling the nine courses of credit for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the three assessment
processes available in the APL program: CLEP exams, departmental exams, and
credit granted through CAP Committee assessment.
Probation and Dismissal
A student will be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term if his or
her achievement is unsatisfactory. A student who has been on probation two or
more consecutive semesters is subject to dismissal at the end of the term. Dismissal
from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee on
Student Standing. A student who has a poor academic record may be strongly
advised t o withdraw before the end of the term. A student who has been on
probation for two terms and withdraws from the College voluntarily must have
special permission to re-enroll.
A student will be placed on probation under these conditions:
Freshman - below 1.6 cumulative GPA or 2 zero grades, having taken fewer
than 7 courses.
Sophomore - below 1.7 cumulative GPA or 3 zero courses, having taken 7 but
fewer than 16 courses.
Junior - below 1.9 cumulative GPA having taken 16 but fewer than 25 courses.
Senior - below 2.0 cumulative GPA having taken 25 or more courses.
A student will be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches the
minimum levels above. Students placed on probation as freshmen for earning 2
zero grades will be removed from probation if their classification changes t o
sophomore, they have not earned additional zero grades, and their cumulative
GPA reaches 1.7. Students placed on probation as sophomores for earning 3 zero
grades will be removed from probation if their classification changes to junior
and their cumulative GPA reaches 1.9.
Dean's List
The Dean's List is compiled after each semester, listing students whose grade
point average for a semester is 3.5 or better, based on a minimum of three full
courses, or equivalent, graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. Each student on the Dean's List receives a
certificate and, if permission is given, an announcement is sent t o the hometown
newspaper.
Graduation with Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined as follows:
Summa cum laude 3.8 t o 4.0 cumulative GPA
Magna cum laude 3.6 up t o but not including 3.8 cumulative GPA
Cum laude 3.3 up to but not including 3.6 cumulative GPA
To qualify for graduation with distinction, transfer students must have completed
two years (14 traditionally graded courses) of work at Augsburg.
Independent/Directed Study
Many departments offer opportunities for conscientious students who demonstrate sufficient background and preparation in a given field to carry out upper
division level work on an independent basis. Some departments also offer an
opportunity for directed study on a lower division level. A student who registers
for directed or independent study should normally expect to complete it in one
semester but may extend it into the next term by permission of the instructor. In
such cases, a grade of X is given at the end of the first term, and the student will
register again for the course t o receive the final grade.
bruaenrs lnreresrea In reglsrerlng ror alrectea or rnaepenaent stuay must rlrst
secure permission from the faculty who will direct the study. A maximum of two
courses in Independent Study and/or Directed Study may count toward the 35
courses required for the degree.
Students may cross-register for independent studies at another ACTC school only
when the major field in which the independent study is proposed is not available
on th.eir home campus, and will be charged by the host campus for any special
costs attached. Requests for exception to this policy should be made directly to
their own academic dean.
Veterans of Military Service
Augsburg is approved by the State Approving Agency for Veterans Training. Veterans should consult with the Office of the Registrar about completion of the
enrollment certificate and the forwarding of other information to the Veterans
Administration.
Veterans will be referred to the State Approving Agency after any period of two
consecutive terms in which they did not earn at least three courses per term, the
minimum for classification as full-time students. It is the responsibility of each
veteran to report any change in registration and/or academic load to the Office
of the Registrar, as it is for all students.
If less than full-time, veterans will be referred to the State Approving Agency after
any period of two consecutive terms if they did not earn the equivalent of what
they had been certified for.
A non-punitive grade which brings a veteran's academic load for the term below
three courses will be reported to the Veteran's Administration. Veterans will need
to meet the requirements of the Veterans Administration regarding repayment of
educational assistance funds received.

The goal of the department is to have our students develop into better scientists.
Therefore, significant changes must occur in what they understand and know in
the field of chemistry, how they think and approach scientific problems, and how
they act in experimental work, in communicating their results, and in interacting
with others.
The department is on the list of approved schools of the American Chemical
Society, which has approved its total program. Students who complete the ACS
major are competitive with their peers of the same ability in graduate school,
chemical positions, or medical school. The approved program also meets the
requirements for the chemistry background required by many related fields.

Augsburg College has cooperative arrangements with three universities t o allow
the student to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and an
engineering degree from either the University of Minnesota lnstitute of Technology, Minneapolis; Washington University School of Engineering and Applied
Science, St. Louis, Missouri; or Michigan Technological University, Houghton,
Michigan. Because of the special requirements and opportunities of these programs, early consultation with the Augsburg Engineering Adviser is necessary.
Applications for these programs require the recommendation of the Augsburg
Engineering Adviser.
University of Minnesota - The lnstitute of Technology and Augsburg cooperative
arrangement provides for two dual degree engineering programs:
1. Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Engineering (B.A.1B.E.) which enables students t o
receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Bachelor of
Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. The program typically
involves three years at Augsburg and two years at the lnstitute of Technology.
Students may apply for the program after completing the sophomore year. At
that time, they will be informed of their status in the program and any further
conditions necessary for final acceptance into the program. Formal application
to the lnstitute of Technology may be completed during the second semester
of the junior year at Augsburg.
2. Bachelor of ArtsIMaster of Engineering (B.A.1M.E.) which enables students to
receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Master of
Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. This program involves
four years at Augsburg and, typically, two years at the lnstitute of Technology.
The curriculum is the same as the B.A.1B.E. curriculum with the addition of
several extra courses that are completed at Augsburg during the senior year
to minimize the number of undergraduate courses, if any, that students must
take at the University before proceeding through the graduate curriculum. The
number of such courses varies by IT department and area of emphasis within
a department.
Application for admission into the B.A.1M.E. program should be initiated during
the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Formal application for the
program may be completed during the senior year. Those admitted will receive
special counseling from the lnstitute of Technology staff regarding courses that
should be taken during the senior year at Augsburg. Participants in the B.A.1
M.E. program are not guaranteed admission t o the lnstitute of Technology.
Washington University - Three-Two Plan
Michigan Technological University - Dual Degree Plan
These programs enable students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg and a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Washington University School
of Engineering and Applied Science or Michigan Technological University in a
five-year period.
The first three years are spent at Augsburg followed by two years at the affiliated
university. Students accepted into the program are guaranteed admission to the
engineering school, provided they have met course requirements, have a B average, and are recommended by the ~ n ~ i n e e rAdviser
in~
of Augsburg College.
Students are also encouraged to explore opportunities for graduate work at Washington University and Michigan Technological University. Further information on
these and other graduate programs is available from the Augsburg Engineering
Adviser.
Financial Aid: Students receiving financial aid who are participants in these dual
degree programs will be encouraged t o apply t o the engineering school of their
choice for continuing support. Their applications will be evaluated using need
and academic performance as criteria.
Minimum Course Requirements for Admission to the Dual Degree or Three-Two
Programs: CHM 115,116; CSC 170; ENG 111; MAT 124,125,224,226; PHY 121,
122; additional courses to meet general education requirements and a total of 27
courses at Augsburg. Normally MAT 124, 125 and PHY 121, 122 are taken in the
freshman year. Students interested in Chemical Engineering also should take CHM
351, 352.

The English department offers courses in literature, writing, and film. Regular
offerings are supplemented by topics courses and interim courses. The department
sponsors the literary magazine, Murphy Square, and holds a weekly program,
Words'worth on Wednesday, devoted to language and literature. Many students
gain practical experience in writing and teaching through internships.
Major: 9 courses above 111, including 225; one course in American literature;
one course in Western literary tradition (271 or 272); and three courses in British
literature, one on literature before 1660 (for example, 331 or 438) and one that
surveys a number of writers (336, 337,423). Majors are encouraged t o take ENG
245 early in their college work and to consult their departmental adviser regularly.
A student with a double major or special program that involves considerable work
in the English department should also work closely with an adviser in the
department.
Major for Secondary Teaching Licensure in English-Language Arts: 10 courses, including those listed for the major and a course in the English language; 2 Speech
courses, one from 111, 351, 352, 354 or 355 and either 360 or 366. Courses in
early American literature, Shakespeare and film are recommended. In addition to
field experience and student teaching required by the Department of Education,
majors will be required t o gain practical experience in teaching writing, t o be
arranged through the department chairperson. Students are encouraged to take
courses toward their major during the freshman and sophomore years, enroll in
Orientation t o Education in the fall term of the sophomore year and apply for
teacher education not later than the fall of their junior year. In addition to planning
their courses with the English department chairperson, students should consult
an adviser in the Department of Education.

committee in senior year. Honors thesis may be an independent study program.
Minor: 5 courses above 111, including one in British literature and one writing
course.
Note on Concentration: In addition to meeting requirements for the major, English
majors may, if they wish, develop an area of emphasis, such as British concentration, American concentration, world literature concentration, or writing concentration. A student arranges a concentration by careful selection of electives
in the major, by the design of an independent study course that applies to the
concentration, and by the selection of some related courses outside the department. English majors should work closely with their advisers in developing a
concentration. Interim courses, special courses, and courses at other ACTC
schools will often fit well into a concentration.

The study of foreign languages breaks down barriers of space and time. It permits
i us to reach beyond the boundaries of the English-speakingworld t o communicate
with other peoples, t o share their experience of being human. In short, our world
becomes larger, richer, and less provincial.
:
b
: The study of linguistics seeks to penetrate the secrets of language, to reveal the
:
operation of the communicating mind. It is in these ways that the study of foreign
languages and linguistics is central to a humanistic education.
