General Information
PURPOSE
Augsburg College is a four-year liberal arts college sponsored
by the Lutheran Free Church for the purpose of giving young
people an opportunity to obtain a broad education in a Christian
environment. In addition to a general education, students may prepare themselves for such vocations as high school teaching, business administration, medical technology, secretarial work, parish
work, missions, and social work. They may prepare for further
study in the fields of dentistry, engineering, law, medicine, nursing, and theology, as well as for graduate study in various fields.
The Skminary, with its facilities on the same campus, offers a
three-year rheological course leading to a Bachelor of Theology
degree. Its purpose is to prepare pastors and missionaries for the
Lutheran Free Ohurch.
LOCATION
Augsburg College and Theological Seminary is located in the
Riverside Park area of South Minneapolis, across the Mississippi
River from the University of Minnesota and within walking distance of the main business section of the city. Science Hall, containing the administration offices, is located at the corner of Seventh Street and Twenty-first Avenue South. Augsburg students
have the advantage of getting their college education in a metropolitan center pulsating with industrial, social, and cultural activities. They have access to libraries, museums, and art collections.
They may hear the best in music and lectures. Minneapolis is
recognized throughout the nation as a vital center of religious
life and activity. Outstanding leaders in many fields both from
other parts of America and from foreign countries are frequent
visitors. College students in the Twin Cities have abundant opportunity to contact present day life at one of its focal points.
HISTORICAL SKETCH
Augsburg was begun as a seminary in I 869, at Marshall, W'~sconsin. It was the first theological seminary started by Norwegian
Lutherans in America. Through an arrangement with a private
institution known as Marshall Academy the Seminary was housed
in the academy building. Students who needed further preparation in academic subjects were to obtain this in the academy. This
arrangement failed to work out satisfactorily; so the theological
group moved to a private dwelling, where classes continued until
1872. In the autumn of that year the Seminary was removed to
Minneapolis, Minnesota, where a building had been erected for its
use. In the same year the school was incorporated under the laws
of Minnesota. The aim of the institution was to train ministers
for the Lutheran congregations which were being organized in
growing numbers in the pioneer settlements that were spreading
rapidly over the Northwest.
The college was established when it became evident that in order
to get students who were adequately prepared for theological
study a college department was needed. So in 1874 a college curriculum was planned which provided for one year of preparatory
studies and four years of college work along two lines, a classical
course to prepare students for theology, and a scientific course to
prepare for the professions. The latter course, however, had to be
discontinued, partly for lack of funds and partly because too
few students selected the course. The first college students were
enrolled in 1874 and the first class was graduated in 1879.
In 1900 a high school course covering three years was established
which in 1910 was expanded to a standard four-year course. This
was discontinued in 1933. In the years 1916-1919 the college
course was thoroughly revised. As a result of this and of subsequent growth, the earlier classical course was greatly modified and
supplemented by social and scientific studies and a more general
emphasis upon the study of the humanities. In recent years there
has ,been continuous study and modification of the curriculum including the introduction of a number of new majors to meet the
developing needs of the students. The Divisional organization was
adopted in 1945. At the present time majors are offered in 17 fields.
Coeducation was introduced in the College in 1921.
In the Theological Seminary there has likewise been a continuing revision of the curriculum and the addition of new courses.
The requirement of a six-month period of internship was added
in 1939. Standards of admission have ,been raised so that a bachelor's degree or equivalent is now the required scholastic preparation. While the Theological Seminary has its own organization, the
Seminary and the College function in close cooperation. Long
experience has proved this arrangement to be mutually wholesome
and stimulating.
Five presidents have served Augsburg during the course of its
history. The terms of o6ce of two of these cover a span of over
half a century. The first president was August Weenaas, who
served from 1869 to 1876. He was succeeded by Georg Sverdrup,
1876 to 1907. Sven Oftedal served from 1907 to 1911 and was
followed by George Sverdru~,whose term extended from 191I to
1937. H. N. Hendrickson served as acting president from 1937
until 1938. Bernhard Christensen, the present president, has served
since that time.
FUNDAMENTAL AIMS
The educational purposes of Augsburg College and Theological
Seminary spring from the conviction that Christianity is the fundamental force for good in human life. All the aims of the College,
as well as those of the Seminary, are bound together by this principle. To express more distinctly the meaning of this, the following statement of aims has been formulated by the College faculty:
T o lead the student to cr deeper understanding and personal
realization of the truth and pvwer of the Chistian Gospel, to
the end that he may become an eeective participant in the
evangelical and missionary task of the Church and an earnest
advocate of the Christian way of life both for the individual and
for society.
To familiarize the student with the clcltare of our own and
other civilizatiolts, not only for the enjoyment this knowledge
affords but also for the development of a more sympathetic
understanding of our fellow men throughout the world.
T o develop the student's ittterest in the attahment of the
comnum pwposes of our counhy, so that he may work for the
welfare of our institutions and for the preservation of our
liberties in community and nation, and also develop an enlightened interest and participation in human affairs throughout the rest of the world.
T o cdtivate in the student a Christian social spirit, in order
that he may realize in his life a right balance between what he
expects of others and the service he will render his fellow men.
To teach t h e student t o discipline his own urges, interests,
amhtiuns, and demands in a way that will effectively contribute toward the development of good character.
To train t h e student in scientific methods of study and also
develop his understanding of the relations of science to the
welfare of humanity.
To stimulate intellectual interest and develop s c h o l l y insight, so that the student may learn to think with accuracy
and comprehension a t the same time as he experiences an understanding of truth which will help him to integrate the findings of science with the deepest spiritual reality.
To awaken and foster in the student a n intelligent appreciation and enjoyment of t h e best in t h e fields of t h e fine arts.
T o guide the student in the understanding of social relationships in order that he may take his place in groups and gatherings with propriety and grace, motivated in his conversation
and conduct by the principles of Christian courtesy and sincerity.
T o provide guidance fw the student in the discovery and
clarification of his aptitudes and his life Purposes so that as
early as possible he may plan his educational program wisely.
T o train students in vocational and professicmaZ lines, giving full preparation for high school teaching, business administration, home economics, and parish work; furnishing partial
training towards the study of medicine, dentistry, nursing, engineering, law, and social service, and offering a four-year
college course preparing for the study of theology.
T o help the student develop certain skills, as in language,
music, physical activities, use of the library, laboratory work,
and typewriting, together with other skills, which will increase
his eaciency in the various relationships of life.
T o agord t h e student wholesome recreational experience which
will contribute toward an effective use of leisure time and develop such qualities as leadership, sportsmanship, and self-control, with good recreational habits, thus providing a constant
source of social and personal satisfaction.
T o instruct t h e student in principles, attitudes, and ideas
pertaining to health, and also to train him in practices and
skills which will promote his physical and mental well-being
and make him better fit to meet the responsibilities of life.
The work of the whole institution, both the Seminary and the
College, is done on the basis of Christianity. The students who
come are invited to take up their college work with the distinct
understanding that the Christian spirit is determining in all things.
They are asked to cooperate willingly in the program of the school
towards that end. The entire program of the school, curricular and
extra-curricular, and the discipline thought wise in order to make
possible the carrying out of this program, spring from the aim "to
see all things through the eyes of Christ."
Enrollment in Augsburg College and Theological Seminary presupposes on the part of the student full cooperation in the ways
prescribed for the attainment of these aims.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND CONTROL
From I 870 to I 890, Augsburg was supported by the NorwegianDanish Lutheran Conference. The merger of that church body
with two others, in 1890, resulted in the afdiation of Augsburg
with the newly created United Norwegian Lutheran Church. Due
to cMerences concerning the control of Augsburg a division arose,
and in x 897 congregations whose sympathia were deeply rooted in
Augsburg formed the Lutheran Free Church. The resulting close
association, in educational and spiritual activity, of Augsburg and
the Lutheran Free Church has been marked by complete harmony
of purpose and ideals for more than half a century.
The control exercised by the Lutheran Free Church is indirect.
The Annual Conference of the Church nominates the members
of the Augsburg Corporation and the Board of Trustees. The Corporation through the Board of Trustees exercises direct control
over property, finance, and personnel. Academic control is vested
in the President and the Faculty.
In addition to the income from student tuition and fees, which
has materially increased with the growth and development of the
College, rhe chief financial support of the institution comes from
the congregations of the Lutheran Free Church. In recent years a
growing circle of friends also outside the Lutheran Free Church,
both alumni and others, have contributed financially to the sup-
port of the school. Augsburg welcomes and invites such support on
the part of all who believe in her program of vital Christian education.
MEMBERSHIP IN EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS.
Augsburg College is fully accredited by rhe North Central Association of Colleges and Secondmy Schools as a degree-granting
institution. It is a member of the Association of American Colleges, the National Lurheran Educational Conference, the Association of Minnesota colleges, and the State Council of Minnesota Colleges.
THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The Augsburg Alumni Association has as its goal to enable the
graduates of the College and Seminary to maintain effective contact and cooperation with one another and with their A h a Mater.
The annual meeting is held at Commencement time each year.
Regional meetings also are held from time to time.
The present ogcers are: Henry J. Bertness, President; Esther
Aune, Vice-president; Marian Lowrie, Recording Secretary; Gloria
Nelson, Harvey Peterson, and Kennet,h Sorenson, Advisers.
THE AUGSBURG FOUNDATION
The Augsburg Foundation, formerly the Augsburg Foundation
Fellowship, is an association of alumni, former students, and other
friends of Augsburg, having as its purpose to give united and
systematic support, ,both spiritual and financial, to the school. The
Foundation was estgblished in 1941 by joint action of the Board
of Trustees and the Alumni Association. Its work is directed by a
General Committee of nine members. A Foundation Day is held
each year.
EDUCATIONAL PLANT
BUILDINGS
The Main, erected in 1900, contains the Chapel, the Library,
the Seminary classrooms and oflices, and a number of college classrooms and oflices.
Science Hall, erected in 1948-49, is a large and completely modern college building. It includes, besides the administration of-
fices, well-equipped laboratories for Chemistry, Physics, Biology,
and Home Economics, as well as the student organization &ces,
the Student Center, a small auditorium, classrooms, and faculty
osces. On the fourth floor is the Tower Prayer Chapel.
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall, erected in 1938, is a modem,
fireproof dormitory affording living quarters for about 150 men.
On the ground floor of this building is the college cafeteria and
dining hall.
Sivertsen Hall, acquired in 1939, is a comfortable dormitory
accommodating about 50 women.
Morton Hall, erected in 1888, Edda House, purchased and
remodeled in 1948, and Miriam House, acquired in 195 I, are
smaller dormitories for women, each accommodating about 20
students.
During 1947 two new buildings were added, both located on
~ 3 r Avenue
d
across the Square from the older part of the Campus.
The Gymnasium, an adequate temporary structure, was erected for
the College by the Federal Works Agency as a part of a program
providing educational facilities for veterans. The Music Hall was
acquired by purchase and remodeled to serve the needs of the
Music Department.
Quite a number of dwellings have been acquired in recent years
in the expanded campus area, which are used for faculty and
student housing until this need can be met through more permanent structures. Also three temporary housing units have been
erected by the Federal Works Agency on the campus ground.
The President's Home, a residence of modern architectural
design, located at the south of the Square, was erected in 1949.
Some years ago the beginning was made of a Museum for the
school. Members of the Alumni Association have presented many
t
s
. There are several collections: a Madagascar Cdvaluable d
lection, a Santal Collection, and a considerable collection of rare
minerals, curios, etc. Contributions to the Museum are invited.
In the spring of 1929 the Augsburg Archive Society was organized. The purpose of this organization is to gather and preseme
documents, books, and other articles of historical value. To house
the Archives a fire-proof room which was provided in the Main
has been replaced recently by a large room on the ground floor of
Science Hall. Here are now found a fine collection of periodicals,
old and rare books, manuscripts, letters, and pictures, and also
about I ,000 volumes of Norwegian-American literature, affording rich resources for scholarly research. Further contributions
to the Archives should be sent to Prof. Iver Olson, Archivist.
The collections in the Library aggregate about 27,700 volumes
exclusive of pamphlets.
About three hundred of the best periodicals, and pamphlets dealing with various subjects, and a number of serials devoted to the
interests of special fields are received currently.
Students have access to the Library daily from 7:45 A. M. to
1o:oo P. M. On Saturday the Library closes at 4:30 P. M.
In the Twin City area other libraries are located-which make
their holdings available to Augsburg students, notably, the St.
Paul and Minneapolis public libraries, the latter of which issues
library cards to out-of-town students for each school year; the
James Hill Reference Library in St. Paul, which has one of the
finest reference collections in the Northwest; and the University
of Minnesota Library, which is within walking distance of the
Augsburg campus and is a splendid source of materials for research
papers. Each year Augsburg students make extensive use of all
these libraries.
NATURALSCIENCELABORATORIES
The laboratories of the Natural Sciences are located in the
Science Hall.
Three laboratories and two storerooms for Biology are located
on the second floor; three laboratories and a large storeroom for
Chemistry, and a laboratory and the .two storerooms for Physics
are located on the third floor.
To facilitate instruction the college provides many excellent
visual and auditory aids. Available for classroom use, and for the
use of other college activities, are the following: Two 16mm.
sound movie projectors, two 3 I/4x4 inch slide projectors, three
2x2 slide projectors, a Balopticon, a sound amplification system,
two film strip projectors, and a magnetic tape recording machine.
There is also a well equipped photography department.
The Auditorium in Science Hall is fully equipped for visual
education classes and lectures. Several classrooms are dso provided
with facilities for projection.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS OF STUDY
Evening classes are held as a community sexvice for adults not
enrolled in the day school. Announcement of course to be offered
are made in the fall. Information about the evening school may
be obtained from the o6ce of the Dean.
OF NURSING
AFFILIATIONWITH SCHOOLS
Student nurses in the Schools of Nooursing
at the Lutheran Deaconess and Swedish Hospitals in Minneapolis receive much of their
first semester of instruction at Augsburg College. Application for
admission to the Schools of Nursing should be made to the hospitals directly.
In cooperation with the Minneapolis General Hospital, Augsburg offers work which enables the student to receive a college
degree with a major in Medical Technology. The first three years
of this work are taken at Augsburg and a final twelve-month program is completed at the hospital.-
Financial Information
STUDENT EXPENSES
A considerable part of the income on whiah Augsburg operates
is derived from endowment and from gifts, a major part of the
latter coming from the supporting church. Therefore, the fees
charged the student do not constitute h e whole cost of his education, for he enjoys the benefits of the gifts of those who 'believe
in and support rhe work of the school. Fm theological students,
the church assumes the full cost of tuition; a statement of other
expenses in attending the seminary is given in the Seminary section of the catalog.

Student Community Life

CHRISTIAN ENVIRONMENT
The influences which mould life and character on a college campus are of many kinds. While the exercises of classroom, laboratory,
and library form the organizing basis of college activity, they need
to be supplemented by other than academic forces. These intangible
but very real supplementary iQuences have much t o do with
creating the spirit of an institution. At Augsburg d e h i t e emphasis is placed upon the maintenance of a wholesome spirit of
Christian community living. Students are urged to give conscious
attention to this personal and spiritual side of their development
and thus contribute toward the prevalence of a vital and happy
Christian atmosphere on the campus.
It is the earnest desire of those who direct the policies of Augsburg that the institution may constantly be permeated by an atmosphere in which the quest for Truth as it is in Christ is prayerf d y fostered in each life.
All students are required to register for two class hours per week
in one of the courses offered in Religion. There are numerous voluntary religious activities in which students are encouraged to
participate. Spiritual Emphasis Week is held twice each year. It is
assumed that every Augsburg student will h d a church home
in Minneapolis and attend its services regularly.
I t is expected of each student that his life, conduct, and influence, both on and 06 campus, shall be worthy of a member of a
Christian College. Those who do not feel drawn to this quality
of life and to the fellowship in which it is nourished should not
seek to be enrolled at Augsburg. A truly Christian spirit and
environment must be the product of the united effort and prayer
of faculty, students, and administration.
THE CHAPEL SERVICE
The heart of Augsburg's program of Christian education is the
daily Chapel Service, where the faculty and students gatfier for
united worship, prayer, and a brief meditation upon the Word of
God. Regular attendance is expected of all students.
DISCIPLINE
The Christian ideals of Augsburg give no room for such demoralizing practices as gambling, drinking, frequenting of public
dances, indiscriminate attendance at movies, and objectionable
card playing. Students enrolled at Augsburg are expected, therefore, not to participate in such practices.
Augsburg reserves the right to dismiss or to discipline any student who is not amenable to advice and direction. The school likewise reserves the right to dismiss any student whose general conduct or influence is unwholesome. Such a student may be removed
although no formal charge is made against him.
CULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES
Augsburg's location in Minneapolis gives its students unique
opportunities to make use of some of the finest educational and
cultural advantages offered in the Upper Midwest. Excellent
art collections are to be found in The Minneapolis Institute of
Arts and the Walker Art Gallery. The Twin City libraries are
large and extensive in their services. The Historical Museum in
St. Paul gives access to large collections of historical material. The
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra programs and other concerts
afford rich opportunity for music appreciation.
In the Twin Cities are located both the University of Minnesota
and several colleges, affording contacts which are conducive to intellectual and cultural stimulus and development.
CONVOCATION
Regular convocation programs are held at Augsburg throughout
the year. These programs aim to acquaint the campus community
with outstanding personalities and problems in various fields. A
wide range of interests is covered, including the scientiiic, political,
social, religious, and artistic.
RECREATION AND SOCIAL LIFE
"No man is a hypocrite in his pleasures." To learn to enjoy the
right form of recreational activities is an important aspect of preparation for life. At Augsburg there is a definite attempt to encourage the formation of helpful recreational habit-patterns, not
only as regards the definitely planned play-program supervised and
directed by the Department of Physical Education, but as regards
the use of leisure time in general. Wholesale social activities of of
many kinds are fostered and encouraged.
STUDENT AREAS
The Student Center, the Student Council Room, the Augsburgian and Augsburg Echo Offices in Science Hall are headquarters
for many student events and provide opportunity for students,
both campus and city, to meet informally and to promote student
activities. The recreation room at Sivertsen Hall, the gymnasium,
the Dining Hall, and the reception rooms in the various residences
provide opportunities for informal social gattherings and for study
and discussion groups.
The Tower Prayer Chapel in Science Hall is open during the day
for times of quiet and meditation. Smaller groups may request the
use of the chapel for devotional meetings.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES

student activities.

Imtercollegiate Athletics. Augsburg is a member of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The college is represented annually by teams in football, basketball, baseball, track,
tennis, and golf.
It is the purpose of Augsburg to provide an intercollegiate
athletic program which is in harmony with its Christian philosophy. This philosophy is to 'be reflected in the conduct and outlook of lboth the players and =he spectators. The educational program of the college recognizes that recreation and play are a
fundamental part of human life, and that t'&s phase of life needs
to be cultivated if physical, mental, and emotional health are to
be maintained. Intercollegiate athletics, as a phase of that program, gives recognition to the fact that competitive play can contribute to the development of student interests, skills, insights, and
loyalties.
More specifically, the following outcomes are sought: ( I ) The
student participating in athletics should acquire and exhibit, 'both
in and out of athletics, such ,basic qualities of character as self-
discipline, honesty, sense of fair play, and cmperation. ( 2 ) The
participant should develop the knowledge, interests, and skills
which will be of special use to him in such vocations as teaching
and coaching or recreational leadership, or in his own recreational
activities. Far from being set apart from his educational goal or in
any way competing with it, the student's participation in intercollegiate athletics must either contribute directly to this goal or
be complementary to his other educational activities. ( 3 ) The student spectator should acquire and exhibit some of the finer qualities of Christian character, such as self-restraint, sense of fair play,
appreciation of high grade performance on the part of both opponents and fellow-students, and respect for individual personality.
(4) The intercollegiate a~hleticprogram should contribute to the
development of a unified and healthy "schml spirit". Enthusiasm
for intercollegiate athletics or other cocurricular activities should
not overshadow pride in high scholastic achievement, nor can it
take the place of a well-rounded and effective intramural and general recreational program.
CITIZENSHIP

developing Christian concepts of brotherhood, with speakers for

Student Personnel Services
ADMINISTRATION
College students face many new opportunities and not a few
problems. Some problems disappear soon after the student has
enrolled .but in many cases others appear during the four years
of college. In order to help students to make the most of the
opportunities and to provide help in the solution of problems,
Augsburg College has developed a number of services for students.
These include Freshman orientation, vocational and aptitude testing, counseling, housing and food service, health service, recreation
and leisure time activities, hancial aids, student employment service, and extra-curriculdr activities. Graduating seniors and alumni
benefit from the services of the Placement Oflice. The administrative phase of these services is centered in the of6ce of the Dean
of Students. Plans and policy are formulated by the Student Personnel Committee.
FRESHh4A.N ORIENTATION
Freshmen and other new students participate in "Freshman
Days" before the beginning of classes in the fall semester. The
students take tests, inspect the college facilities, and become acquainted with heir fellow students, with the faculty, and especially with their own faculty counselors. Several conferences with
the faculty counselors are scheduled for the students, during
which they plan their program of study.
All freshmen enroll-in a class in Orientation. In this course,
the students learn about standards and requirements of various
areas of college life. Methods and habits of study and related
techniques are explored. Personal health, social adjustment, personal
finances and vocational aims are discussed.
TESTING
A battery of aptitude, ability and interest tests are administered free to all new students during Freshman Days. College aptitude scores, English and reading ability scores are obtained far
later use by counselors in helping students plan their programs.
Personal adjustment scores and vocational interest scores help the
students select occupational goals and future careers.
COUNSELING
The purpose of counseling is to give the student individual
help in all areas of adjustment to college life. The insight and
techniques of adjustment learned will also serve him later in life.
Each new student is assigned a faculty counselor who may serve
for two years. Counselors for juniors and seniors are their major
advisers. The deans and other administrative oi3icers are general
counselors to all students.
The Faculty counselor helps the student plan his educational
program in accordance with 'his life aims and interests. The student {becomesaware of his own abilities and aptitudes through the
analysis and interpretation of test data by his counselor.
Through a system of referral, students may obtain counsel from
any member of the faculty, or from qualiiied persons within the
college community.
VOCATIONAL COUNSELING
Vocational counseling is introduced to freshmen through the
use of a vocational interest test. An Occupational Information
iile in the college library provides study materials for vocational
planning. Career conferences annually bring many professional
people to the campus for group sessions and individual counseling
on job opportunities. By means of such informational material
and *he help of his counselor, the student is able to make a vocational choice appropriate to his ability and vocational interests.
PERSONAL COUNSELING
Students who have difticult personal problems may iind help
through discussing the prdblem with their counselor. Finances,
social adjustments, and church activities are common topics of
discussions. Students v h o have spiritual prablems may confer with
their counselors, or other faculty members, particularly the College Pastor and members of the Department of Religion.

GENERAL INFORMATION
PURPOSE
Augsburg College is a four-year liberal arts college sponsored by
the Lutheran Free Church for the purpose of giving young people
an opportunity to obtain a broad education in a Christian environment. In addition to securing a general education, students may prepare themselves for such vocations as high school teaching, business
administration, social work, medical technology, secretarial work,
parish work, and missions. They may prepare for further study in the
fields of dentistry, engineering, law, medicine, nursing, and theology,
as well as for graduate study in various fields.
Augsburg Theological Seminary, with its facilities on the same campus, offers a three-year course of study leading to a Bachelor of
Theology degree. Its chief purpose is to prepare pastors and missionaries for the Lutheran Free Church.
LOCATION
Augsburg College and Theological Seminary is located in the Riverside Park area of Minneapolis, across the Mississippi River from the
University of Minnesota and within walking distance of the main
business section of the city. Science Hall, containing the administration offices, is located at the corner of Seventh Street and Twenty-first
Avenue South. Augsburg students have the advantage of getting their
college education in a metropolitan center pulsating with industrial,
social, and cultural activities. They have access to libraries, museums,
and art collections. They may hear the best in music and lectures.
Minneapolis is recognized throughout the nation as a vital center of
religious life and activity. Outstanding leaders in many fields both
from other parts of America and from foreign countries are frequent
visitors. College students in the Twin Cities have abundant opportunity to contact contemporary American life at one of its focal points.
ACCREDITATION
Augsburg College is accredited by the North Central Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the regional accrediting agency.
It is approved by the Minnesota Department of Education for the
training of secondary school teachers.
HISTORICAL SKETCH
Augsburg was begun as a seminary in 1869, at Marshall, Wisconsin.
It was the first theological seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans
in America. Through an arrangement with a private institution known
as Marshall Academy, the Seminary was at first housed in the academy
building. Students who needed further preparation in academic subjects were to obtain this in the academy. This arrangement failed to
work out satisfactorily; so the theological group moved to a private
dwelling, where classes continued until 1872. In the autumn of that
year Augsburg Seminary was removed to Minneapolis, Minnesota,
where a building had been erected for its use. In the same year the
school was incorporated under the laws of Minnesota. The aim of the
institution was to train ministers for the Lutheran congregations which
were being organized in growing numbers in the pioneer settlements
that were spreading rapidly over the Northwest.
The college was established when it became evident that in order
to get students who were adequately prepared for theological study
a college department was needed. So in 1874 a college curriculum
was planned which provided for one year of preparatory studies and
four years of college work along two lines, a classical course to prepare students for theology, and a scientific course to prepare for the
professions. The latter course, however, had to be discontinued, partly
for lack of funds and partly because too few students selected the
course. The first college students were enrolled in 1874 and the first
class was graduated in 1879.
In 1900 a high school course covering three years was established
which in 1910 was expanded to a standard four-year course. This
was discontinued in 1933. In the years 1916-1919 the college course
was thoroughly revised. As a result of this and of subsequent growth,
the earlier classical course was greatly modified and supplemented by
social and scientific studies and a more general emphasis upon the
study of the humanities. In recent years there has been continuous
study and modification of the curriculum including the introduction
of a number of new majors to meet the developing needs of the students. The Divisional organization was adopted in 1945. At the present
time majors are offered in 17 fields.
Coeducation was introduced in the College in 1921.
In the Theological, Seminary there has likewise been a continuing
revision of the curriculum and the addition of new courses. The requirement of a six-month period of internship was added in 1939.
Standards of admission have been raised so that a bachelor's degree
or equivalent is now the required scholastic preparation. While the
Theological Seminary has its own organization, the Seminary and the
College function in close cooperation. Long experience has proved
this arrangement to be mutually wholesome and stimulating.
Five presidents have served Augsburg during the course of its history. The terms of office of two of these cover a span of over half a
century. The first president was August Weenaas, who served from
1869 to 1876. He was succeeded by Georg Sverdrup, 1876 to 1907.
Sven Oftedal served from 1907 to 1911 and was followed by George
Sverdrup, whose term extended from 1911 to 1937. H. N. Hendrickson
served as acting president from 1937 until 1938. Bernhard Christensen,
the present president, has served since that time.
FUNDAMENTAL AIMS
The educational purposes of Augsburg College and Theological
Seminary spring from the conviction that in the Christian religion
there are revealed the most basic truths concerning both man and
God, and that Christianity is the fundamental force for good in human
life and society. All the aims of the College, as well as those of the
Seminary, are integrated with this principle. To express more distinctly
some major aspects of its program of Christian higher education, the
following statement of aims has been formulated by the college faculty:
T o 2ead the student to a deeper understanding and personal experience of the truth and power of the Christian Gospel, to the end
that he may become both an effective participant in the work of
the Christian Church and an earnest adirocate of the Christian way
of life.
To familiarize the student with the culture of our own and other
civilizations, not only for the enjoyment this knowledge affords
but also for the development of a more sympathetic understanding
of our fellow men throughout the world.
To develop the student's interest in the attainment of the common
purposes of our country, so that he may work for the welfare of
our institutions and for the preservation of our liberties in community and nation, and also develop an enlightened interest and
participation in human affairs throughout the rest of the world.
T o cultivate i n the student a Christian social spirit, in order that
he may realize in his life a right balance between what he expects

FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND CONTROL
From 1870 to 1890, Augsburg was supported by the NorwegianDanish Lutheran Conference. The merger of that church body with
two others, in 1890, resulted in the a5liation of Augsburg with the
newly created United Norwegian Lutheran Church. Due to differences
concerning the control of Augsburg, a division arose, and in 1897 congregations whose sympathies were deeply rooted in Augsburg formed
the Lutheran Free Church. The resulting close association, in educational and spiritual activity, of Aug'sburg and the Lutheran Free
Church has been marked by complete harmony of purpose and ideals
for more than half a century.
The control exercised by the Lutheran Free Church is indirect. The
Annual Conference of the Church nominates the members of the
Augsbu~gCorporation and the Board of Trustees. The Corporation
through the Board of Trustees exercises direct control over property,
finance, and personnel. Academic control is vested in the President
and the Faculty.
In addition to the income from student tuition and fees, which has
materially increased with the growth and develop~nentof the Callege,
the chief financial support of the i n s t i t ~ i o ncomes from the congcgstions of the Lutheran Free Church. In recent years a praning circle
of friends also outside the Lutheran Free Chu~ch.both alumni and
others, have contributed financially to the support of the school. Augsburg welcomes and invites such support on the part of all who believe
in her program of vital Christian education.
MEMBERSHIP IN EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS
Augsburg College is fully accredited by the North Central Associa-
tion of Colleges and Secondary School as a degree-granting institution.
It is a member of the American Council on Education, the Associatioll

THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The Augsburg Alumni Association has as its goal to enable the
graduates of the College and Seminary to maintain effective contact
and cooperation with one another and with their Alma Mater. The
annual meeting is held at Commencement time each year. Local Augsburg clubs are promoted, and a bi-monthly bulletin is published. The
affairs of the Association are under the leadership of the Board of
Directors. Mr. Kenneth Lower is the Executive Secretary and editor of
the Bulletin. The Alumni Ofice is located in Science Hall.
THE AUGSBURG FOUNDATION
The Augsburg Foundation, formerly the Augsburg Foundation
Fellowship, is an association of alumni, former students, and other
friends of Augsburg, having as its purpose to give united and systematic support, both spiritual and financial, to the school. The Foundation was established in 1941 by joint action of the Board of Trustees
and the Alumni Association. Its work is directed by a General Committee of nine members. A Foundation Day is held each year.
EDUCATIONAL PLANT
BUILDINGS
The Main, erected in 1900, ,contains a large number of classrooms

building. It includes the general administration offices, well-equipped
laboratories for Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Home Economics; the
student organization offices and the student center; a small auditorium,
and several classrooms and faculty offices. On the fourth floor is the
Tower Prayer Chapel.
The George Sverdrup Library, named in honor of Augsburg's fourth

The Museum is located on the ground floor of the Main. Members
of the Alumni Association have presented many valuable gifts. There
are several collections: a Madagascar Collection, a Santal Collection,
and a considerable collection of rare minerals, curios, etc. Contributions
to the Museum are invited. Professor Kleven is the curator.
THE A R C H I ~ S
The Augsburg Archive Society was organized in 1929, for the purpose of gathering documents, books, and other articles of historical
value. For a number of years a fire-proof room in the Main housed
the archives collections. With the erection of the George Sverdrup
Library in 1955, adequate, fire-proof quarters for the archives were
provided. Here are now found a fine collection of periodicals, old and
rare books, manuscripts, letters, and pictures, and also about 1,000
volumes of Norwegian-American literature, affording extensive resources for scholarly research. Contributions to the Archives should
he sent to Prof. Iver Olson, Archivist.
The beautiful and spacious new George Sverdrup Library provides
a central study-workshop for both faculty and students. It contains
about 30,000 volumes, exclusive of pamphlets, all available on open
stacks. The two large reading rooms have book stacks and reading
tables arranged in such a way that a place for study is always close
.to the books one may need. Additional conveniences include conference rooms, where from 2 to 6 students may study together, and
seminar rooms for larger groups or small classes. A typing corner is
provided in the ground floor reading room.
The library subscribes to about 300 of the best periodicals and
pamphlets dealing with a large variety of subjects as well as a number of serials devoted to the interests of special fields.
In the Twin City area other libraries are located which make their
holdings available to Augsburg students, notably, the St. Paul and
Minneapolis public libraries, the latter of which issues library cards
to out-of-town students for each school year; the James Hill Reference
Library in St. Paul, which has one of the finest reference collections
in the Northwest; and the University of Minnesota Library, which is
within walking distance of the Augsburg campus. Each year Augsburg
students make extensive use of all these libraries.
The laboratories of the Natural Sciences are located in the Science
IIall. Three laboratories and two storerooms for Biology are located on
the second floor; three laboratories and a large storeroom for Chemistry, and a laboratory and two storerooms for Physics are located
on the third floor.
To facilitate instruction the college provides many excellent visual
and auditory aids. The audio-visual center is l~catedon the ground
floor of the Library. Available for classroom use, and for the use of
other college activities, are the following: Two 16 mm. sound movie
projectors, one combination 2x2 inch slide projector and 16 mm. film
strip projector, one 3x5 slide projector, a Balopticon, a sound amplification system, and magnetic tape recording machines. There is also a
well equipped photography department.
The auditorium in Science Hall is fully equipped for visual education classes and lectures. Several classrooms are also provided with
facilities for projection.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS OF STUDY
Evening classes are held as a community service for adults not enrolled in the day school. Announcement of courses to be offered are
made in the fall. Information about the evening school may be obtained from the office of the Dean.
Student nurses in the Schools of Nursing at the Lutheran Deaconess
and Swedish Hospitals in Minneapolis receive much of their first
semester of instruction at Augsburg College. Application for admission
to the Schools of Nursing should be made to the hospitals directly.
In cooperation with the Minneapolis General Hospital, Augsburg
offers work which enables the student to receive a college degree with
a major in Medical Technology. The first .three years of this work are
taken at Augsburg and a final twelve-month program is completed at
the hospital.
SPAN
Augsburg participates in the SPAN (Student Project for Amity
among Nations) program. This is a joint venture of the University of
Minnesota and several colleges in the state. Qualified students are
selected to spend a summer in informal study abroad. Applications are
made in the spring of the Sophomore year.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
A considerable part of the income on which Augsburg operates is
derived from endowment and from gifts, a major part of the latter
coming from the supporting church. Therefore, the fees charged the
student do not constitute the whole cost of his education, for he enjoys
the benefits of the gifts of those who believe in and support the work
of the school. For theological students, the church assumes the full
cost of tuition; a statement of other expenses in attending the seminary
is given in the Seminary section of the catalog.

PAYMENT OF ACCOUNTS
Student accounts are due in full at the time of registration in September and February. Parents may deposit money in advance at the
school or the student may make the payment when he registers. Recognizing that payment of fees in full at registration poses a financial
problem in some cases, the college has instituted a "deferred payment
plan". In this plan the college will accept, at the time of registration
in September and again in February, a
of $150.00 in the
case of resident. students and $75.00 for off-campus students. The
balance may be paid in monthly installments during the semester. To
defray the cost of the plan a charge of $1.00 is made for each payment on the student's account after registration.
1 Subjea to change.
REFUNDS
Students who cancel their registration before the middle of any
semester pay tuition at the rate of $14.00 per week for the t'ime during
which they have been in attendance. Students who cancel out after
the middle of the semester receive no refund of tuition. No refunds
are made of the Matriculation and Student Activity fees. Course fees
are paid at the rate of 10% per week by students who cancel out before the middle of the semester.
Payments for board and room are refunded in proportion to the
time students have been in residence. Students who move out ,of dormitories but do not cancel out of school are charged the full semester
room rent.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Financial aids in the form of loan funds, scholarships, grants-in-aid,
and employment assistance are available at Augsburg. Students must
meet certain requirements to qualify for loans or scholarships. The
college gives assistance to students in securing work both on and off
the campus.
LOAN FUNDS
Several loan funds have been established to assist students in working out their financial problems. Loans may be arranged at a reasonable rate of interest for various periods of time.
The General Student Loan Fund, established through the gifts of
many individual donors, is chiefly maintained by contributions from
the Augsburg College Women's Club.
The Olaf Rogne Fund, established in 1954, extends assistance to
students in the Seminary.
The Charles and Nora Crouch Student Loan Fund, established in
1954, extends assistance to members of all classes.
The Senior Loan Fund, established by the class of 1955, is available
to selected graduating seniors.
The John and Anna Jorgine Gregory Theo2ogical Student Loan Fund
is available to students who are preparing for the ministry.
The Student Aid Fund of the Zion Lutheran Hour, established by the
Zion Lutheran Church of Minot, North Dakota, likewise extends loans
to students preparing for the ministry.
Arrangements for the loans are made through a conference with the
Dean of Students, chairman of the faculty committee on student loans.
In addition to arranging loans, the committee counsels students on
financial matters with the objective in mind of helping the student work
out a satisfactory plan for his finances.

Forty Freshman Scholarships, amounting to tuition for the second
half of the Freshman year, are offered to outstanding high school

special need of financial assistance. To qualify for a grant, a student
r.11ust make application, providing information about his own and his
family's resources and anticipated expenses.
EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
The employment service, located in the Placement Office, has been
successful in placing hundreds of men and women students in parttime positions. The types of work secured are of many kinds, including recreational leadership, restaurant work, domestic service, sales
work, and secretarial and clerical work.
Students are employed by the college in many activities. For these
positions preference is given to upper-class students who have maintained a good scholastic average.
Assistance in securing summer employment is also provided each
spring by the Employment Service.
Application forms for part-time employment on or off campus may
be secured from the Admissions or Placement Offices.
STUDENT -COMMUNITY LIFE
The influences which mould life and character on a college campus
are of many kinds. While the exercises of classroom, laboratory, and
Library form the organizing basis of college activity, they need to
be supplemented by other than academic forces. These intangible but
very real supplementary influences have much to do with creating the
spirit of an institution. At Augsburg definite emphasis is placed upon
the maintenance of a wholesome spirit of Christian community living.
Students are urged to give conscious attention to this personal and
spiritual side of their development and thus contribute toward the
prevalence of a vital and happy Christian atmosphere on the campus.
It is the earnest desire of those who direct the policies of Augsburg
that the institution may constantly be permeated by an atmosphere in
which the quest for Truth as it is in Christ is prayerfully fostered in
each life.
All students are required to register for two class hours per week
in one of the courses offered in Religion.
There are numerous voluntary religious activities in which students are encouraged to participate. Spiritual Emphasis Week is held twice each year. It is assumed
that every Augsburg student will find a church home in Minneapolis
and attend its services regularly.
It is expected of each student that his life, conduct, and influence,
both on and off campus, shall be worthy of a member of a Christian
College. Those who do not feel drawn to this quality of life and to the
fellowship in which it is nourished should not seek to be enrolled at
Augsburg. A truly Christian spirit and environment must be the
product of the united effort and prayer of faculty, students, and
administration.
THE CHAPELSERVICE
The heart of Augsburg's program of Christian education is the daily
Chapel Service, where the faculty and students gather for united worship, prayer, and a brief meditation upon the Word of God. Regular
attendance is expected of all students.
REI;IG~OUS
PROGRAM
The Religious Life Committee, composed of students and faculty,
endeavors to promote a religious program that will stimulate growth
of Christian life in the Augsburg community. Co-chairmen of this
council are the student Director of Religious Activities and the College
Pastor. Areas for which this committee carries primary responsibility
are the Mid-Week services, Spiritual Emphasis Weeks, prayer meetings, and informal group meetings.
This committee also serves as a coordinating agency for all volunteer
Christian organizations on campus. The two principal organizations
are the Lutheran Student Association and the Mission Society.
The Mission Society promotes interest in missions through a program of study, fellowship, worship, and seriice. A highlight of the
year is the Mission Festival, a week-end conference devoted to the
study of missionary activity, and recruitment of workers. The Lutheran
Student Association seeks to serve as a stimulus and outlet for Christian faith and life. Students participate in regional and national LSA
Conferences, and conduct a schedule of meetings on campus.
The Concordia Society is an organization for all the students in the
Theological Seminary.
Regular convocation programs are held at Augsburg throughout
the year. These programs acquaint the campus community with outstanding personalities in various fields. A wide range of interests is
covered, including the scientific, political, social, religious, and artistic.
Students at Augsburg are given many opportunities for social training and recreation. The Student Council through the Chairman of
Social Activities, assisted by a Committee on Social Education, sponsors each month an all-school social activity which all students may
attend. Most of these are informal. The Sophomore and Junior classes
sponsor semi-formal banquets. The Associated Women Students and
a number of other organizations sponsor teas, dinners, and social
affairs on and off campus.
"No man is a hypocrite in his pleasures." To learn to enjoy the
right form of recreational activities is an important aspect of preparation for life. At Augsburg there is a definite attempt to encourage the
formation of helpful recreational habit-patterns, not only with regard
to the planned play program supervised by the Director of Recreation
and the Department of Physical Education, but also with regard to
the use of leisure time in general.
Augsburg's location in Minneapolis gives its students unique oppqrtunities to make use of some of the finest educational and cultural
advantages which the Northwest has to offer. Excellent art collections
are to be found in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Walker
Art Center. The Twin City libraries are .extensive in their services.
The Historical Museum in St. Paul gives access to large collections of
historical material. The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra programs
and other concerts afford rich opportunity for music appreciation.
Many students and faculty attend Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra
concerts by virtue of a special college season ticket arrangement.
Season tickets are available also for other University concerts and
the University Theater drama programs. Symphony Forums are held
.on campus each year, with speakers from the Orchestral Association
or the Orchestra.
A bi-weekly bulletin, Events of Interest in Minneapolis, listing pro.
grams, concerts, art displays and exhibitions is compiled and issued
from the Student Personnel Office.
STUDENT PERSONNEL SERVICES
Institutional services to students are organized and administered
in accordance with plans and policies established by the Student Personnel Committee. Included are such services as Counseling, Testing,
Freshman Orientation, Student Records, The Student Health Service,
Housing and Food Service, Placement, S t u d a t Employment, and Coordination of Student Activities. The administration of these services
is centered in the Office of the Dean of Students.
Under the counseling program at Augsburg each student is assigned
a faculty counselor to assist him in the planning of his total college
program. All faculty members participate in counseling. The broad
intellectual interests of the faculty member are combined with the
professional skill and techniques of trained counselors to provide
counseling at various levels, and in many areas of student needs. Personal, social, and spiritual problems as well as vocational choice and
financial needs are given consideration.
As far as possible, the work of obtaining the necessary data about
the individual student and organizing the total program of counseling
is carried out by the Office of the Dean of Students in accordance with
the plans and policies established by the Student Personnel Committee.
These plans include testing, assignment of counselors, scheduling of
group conferences and counseling periods. Each new student is assigned a faculty member who is his counselor for two years. When
a student enters the Upper Division, he chooses a major field of study.
The major adviser then becomes his counselor. Faculty counselors
confer with their counselees at regular intervals throughout the year
and at other times as the needs of the individual student appear. If a
serious problem develops which demands professional skill and more
time than the professor has to spend in counseling, the student is referred by way of the Office of the Dean of Students to professionally
qualified counselors. The Dean of Women and the Dean of Students
are special counselors to the women and the men, respectively.
Students receive vocational counseling in conference with their
counselors, and have frequent opportunities to confer with persons who
are eminently successful in the particular professions selected by
students as their tentative occupational choices. An Occupational Information file in the college library provides materials for a study of
vocations. The Orientation course, required of all freshmen, includes a
unit on vocational planning. The results of a vocational interest test
are available for all students.
Students who have various personal problems are encouraged to seek
help through counseling conferences. Often students have been able
to solve problems of finances, social adjustment, and personality
through counseling sessions.
Those who have spiritual problems may confer with the College
Pastor, or with members of the Department of Religion as well as
with their faculty counselor. By a system of referral, students may
receive counsel from any member of the faculty, or from qualified
persons beyond the college community. The Personnel deans are available at all times for special counseling conferences.
The college physician is consulted in regard to all problems pertaining to physical and mental health.
Counselors and major advisers strive to help students develop their
latent abilitjr. Students who distinguish themselves acad&nically are
named on the Dean's List, and are thereby qualified to participate
in a study program designed to develop their special talents to the
highest degree. Honor societies such as the Augsburg Guild of Honor
and Lambda Iota Tau recognize students who have excelled in several
areas.
All new students are given a battery of tests during Freshman Days.
College aptitude scores, English, and reading ability scores are used
by counselors to help students plan their initial programs. Personal
adjustment scores and the vocational interest test profile help the
students learn to know more about themselves, in order to make the
best choice of subjects and occupational goals. Sophomores participate in a nation-wide testing program. Seniors also take a nationally
standardized test.
Freshmen and other new students participate in Freshman Days
before the beginning of classes each semester. The students take tests,
inspect the college facilities, and become acquainted with their fellow
students, with the faculty, and especially with their own faculty counselors. The faculty counselors and students have several conferences
during which they plan the student's program of study.
All freshmen enroll in a class in Orientation. In this course, the
students learn about standards and requirements of various areas of
college life. Methods and habits of study and related techniques are
explored. Personal health, social adjustment, personal finances, and
vocational aims are discussed.
RECORDS
Individual student records are kept in the Records Office under the
supervision of the Registrar. These records include admissions data,
academic achievement, student participation and achievement in nonacademic activities, test scores, reports of counseling and other information.
The Student Personnel Office maintains a file of clubs and societies,
including the constitutions, activities, schedules, and membership roster.
THE STUDENT
HEALTHSERVICE
The Student Health Service provides campus dispensary service
with a registered nurse in charge. The college physician has daily office
l~ours on campus for consultation and for emergency treatment.
Physical examinations are given all entering students and seniors.
Corrective treatment is prescribed where needed. Infirmary rooms are
adjacent to the dispensary. The Health Service is housed in a ground
floor section of Memorial Hall, the men's residence hall.
Students, faculty, and staff have chest X-rays taken semi-annually
through the cooperation of the Hennepin County Tuberculosis Association Mobile Unit. The Department of Physical Education conducts a
program of recreation for all students. All freshmen are required to
take a course in personal and community health.
Students not living at home must live in college operated housing
and take their meals in the college dining hall. Under certain conditions, students may make other arrangements after consultation with
the Dean of Women or Dean of Students.
Residence halls are open to students a day before regular schedules
become effective, and close a day after the term closes. Students who
wish to stay in residence during vacations must apply for the privilege.
Rooms are furnished except for bed linen, towels and blankets.
Laundry facilities are available in each residence. Bed linens and towels
may be rented at a reasonable cost. This service includes laundering,

The Placement Bureau assists seniors and alumni in securing positions. Continuous contact is maintained with business, governmental,
welfare, and educational institutions and organizations at the local
as well as the state and national levels. Interviews are arranged both
on and off the campus. A registration fee and a small placement
fee are charged.
An employment service, located in the Placement Office, assists students in obtaining part time remunerative work. Many students find
it possible to pay part of their college expenses by this income. Employment can be obtained more satisfactorily after students have been
at the college for a time, and consequently, it is .desirable that a new
student should have sufficient funds to pay his entire expenses for at
least one semester.
Students are employed by the college in many phases of its opera-
tion. For these positions preference is given to upper-class students
who have maintained a good scholastic average and have a good employment record.
Assistance in securing summer employment is also provided for students each spring.
The Christian ideals of Augsburg give no room for such demoralizing practices as gambling, drinking, frequenting of public dances,
indiscriminate attendance at movies, and objectionable car'd playing.
Students enrolled at Augsburg are expected, therefore, not to participate in such practices.
Augsburg reserves the right to dismiss or to discipline any student
who is not amenable to advice and direction. The school likewise
reserves the right to dismiss any student whose general conduct or
influence is unwholesome. Such a student may be removed although
no formal charge is made against him.
Disciplinary problems, other than academic failure, are handled
through the Office of the Dean of Students. In all cases, careful investigation and counseling precedes any action.

of intramural schedules in various colleges.
Augsburg is a member of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference. The college is represented annually by teams in football,
basketball, hockey, baseball, track, tennis, and golf.
PURPOSE AND PHILOSOPHY OF INTERCOLLEGIATE
ATHLETICS
It is the purpose of Augsburg College to provide an intercollegiate
athletic program which is in harmony with its Christian philosophy.
This philosophy is to be reflected in the conduct and outlook of both
the players and the spectators. The educational program of the collegerecognizes that recreation and play are a fundamental part of human
life, and that this phase of life needs to be cultivated if physical,
mental, and emotional health are to be maintained. Intercollegiate
athletics, as a phase of that program, gives recognition to the fact that
competitive play can cnntribute to the development of student interests,
skills, insights, and loyalties.
More specifically, the following outcomes are sought: (1j The student participating in athletics should acquire and exhibit, both in and
out of athletics, such basic qualities of character as self-discipline,
honesty, sense of fair play, and cooperation. (2) The participant
should develop the knowledge, interests, and skills which will be of
special use to him in such vocations as teaching and coaching or re-,
creational leadership, or in his own recreational activities: Far from
being set apart from his educational goal or in any way competing
with it, the student's participation in intercollegiate athletics must
either contribute directly to this goal or be complementary to his
other educational activities. (3) The student spectator should acquire
and exhibit some of the finer qualities of Christian character, such
as self-restraint, sense of fair play, appreciation of high grade ,performance on the part of both opponents and fellow-students, and respect for individual personality. (4) The intercollegiate athletic program should contribute to the development of a unified and healthy
"school spirit." Enthusiasm for intercollegiate
athletics or other cocurricular activities should not overshadow pride in high scholastic
achievement, nor can it take the place of a well-rounded and effective
intramural and general recreational program.
HONORS AND AWARDS
The 1925 Class Cup in Atfitics is awarded to the athlete who has
made outstanding records both in athletics and in scholarship.
The Harold A. Johnson Trophy, presented by Gerald L. Johnson
in 1943, is awarded annually to the student who is judged to be the

Hall.

which involve canceling a course cannot be made after the middle of
the semester.
A fee of $1.00 is charged for each change of registration after the

a semester must cancel his registration at the Registrar's office in

register for courses at the University. But such registration will not
be allowed unless the student has a grading of C average, or 1 honor
point per credit, in his courses at Augsburg. Also, the combined number of credits in any semester must not exceed 17. The credits thus
gained at the University may be transferred to Augsburg College and
counted towards graduation.
CLASSIFICATION
In order to be classified in one of the college classes, a student
must be carrying a minimum of twelve hours of work in which college
credit is given. Classification is based on the attainment of the following number of credit hours together with an equal number of
honor points: Sophomore, 24; Junior, 58; Senior, 92. Students are
classified by this regulation at the time of their registration each
school year.
PROBATION AND ELIMINATION

semester to consider the status of students who are doing unsatisfactory work. Freshmen who obtain honor point ratios of .5 or below,
Sophomores .6 or below, and Senior College students .8 or below, as
well as students with 6 or more credits of F, at the end of a semester
are placed on probation during the semester that follows. They remain
on probation until an honor point ratio of 1 is attained for a semester.
A student is not allowed to remain in college on probation for more
than two semesters consecutively, except by special permission. He is
dropped for low scholarship if he fails to maintain a satisfactory
scholastic record.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
Regular attendance in class is required. Students who find it necessary to be absent because of illness b r for other reasons should confer
with their teachers.
Students are expected to arrange the hours of part-time employment so that work does not conflict with classes. Any exception to this
rule must be agreed to by the teacher of the class affected and must
be approved by the Dean of the College.
A record of attendance is kept by each teacher, and periodic reports
are submitted to the Registrar. At the end of the semseter, a record
is made of the total absences of each student for the semester.
Absences for tours, field trips and other instructor-arranged activities are cleared with the Dean of the College. Lists of participants,
with information as to exact p i o d s absent, are issued by the Dean
to all instructors involved.
Teachers deal with tardiness as they see fit. Students arriving' in
class late must assume responsibility for reporting their presence to
the teacher.
EXAMINATIONS
Tests are given periodically throughout the semester. In the course
of each semester, reports of the grades attained are made to the
Registrar who forwards them to the counselors and students. Final
reports are sent at the close of each semester to the parents and
students.
Written examinations are regularly scheduled at the close of each
semester. No student or class may arrange to take a final examination
in any course before the examination week.
Absence from a final examination without a sufficient reason will
result in a grade of failure in the course concerned.
A student who has to be absent from a final examination because
of a conflict with outside work from which he cannot obtain an excuse
may arrange to take such an examination during some period after
the time on which the subject is scheduled.
If a student has obtained permission from the Dean of the College
to take a final examination at another hour than that scheduled, he is
a fee of two dollars for such an examination. Before the stues the examination, he must obtain a statement from the Registrar's office and bring it to the teacher concerned. The teacher will
give no examination before he has this statement.
CONDITIONS AND INCOMPLETES
A condition or an incomplete received at the end of the semester
must be removed within the first five weeks of classes of the following
semester of attendance or within a year if the student has not re-enrolled. Extension of this time may be made by the Registrar's O5ce
in cases of illness. If incompletes and conditions are not removed
within the time allowed, the condition automatically becomes a failure
and the incomplete may be changed to a passing grade only when
the average of the previous work is sufficiently high. The final grade
after the condition examination is taken may not be higher than D.
A fee of $2.00 is charged for an examination making up an incomplete or a condition reecived at the end of a semester.
COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATIONS
Compre)lensive examinations may be permitted in courses in which
the Admissions and Scholarship Committee feels the student has adequate preparation or background. Students who wish to take a comprehensive examination must apply in writing to this committee.

SOCIAL
WORK
A rapid expansion of the field of social work during the past twenty
years has created an acute lieed for trained social workers. Positions
are available in public agencies on federal, state, county, and municipal
levels; in private agencies sponsored by churches or other community
organizations; in group work, case work, or community organization.
In response to this need, Augsburg College has developed a cumculum designed to do two things: (a) equip graduates for immediate
employment in social work positions that do not ,require post-graduate
training and (b) prepare students for further study in graduate schools
of social work.
Augsburg College is an active member of the Minnesota Conference
on Social Work Education. During recent years graduates of Augsburg
have secured positions in both public and private welfare, in probation work, child welfare, group work, and case work.
The following courses are recommended for students interested in
Social Work. The courses which are italicized should be taken by all
such students.

DIVISION OF RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY
Through the study of religion and philosophy, the individual is apprised of
the central realities of life and encouraged to build on the certainties of the
Christian faith. The work proceeds on the assumption that Christianity alone
can furnish a unifying principle which gives meaning to human existence. The
student is challenged to accept this point of view--to relate himself to Christ
as the center, to evaluate all his studies and experiences in the light of revealed
truth, and to make consistent use of all his talents and training. The goal to
be desired is the development of an informed and integrated Christian personality dedicated to the realization of God's kingdom on earth.
Department of Religion
The courses in Religion are designed to give the student a working knowledge of the Bible, to acquaint him with the history, doctrines, and ethics of the
Church, and to prepare him for effective service in the congregation. The fundamental aim in instruction is to lead as many as possible to personal faith in
Christ, and to nurture the Christian life.
All full time students are required to register for two class hours ,per week
in one of the courses offered in religion during each semester of their studies.
Registration in New Testament Greek satisfiies this requirement.

Movement and in the Association of Lutheran Seminaries in America. On a
more local level, the student body participates in a fellowship of five Protestant

A Greeting from the President

several years.
If you are studying this map to find out more about Augsburg University and an Augsburg education, welcome. I believe

About Augsburg
At Augsburg University, we believe that the university experience should be a time of exploration, of discovery, of new
experiences, and of new possibilities. We also believe that a liberal arts education is the best preparation for living in the
fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not
only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, creatively solve problems, and
communicate effectively.
Discovering Your Gifts and Talents
The heart of an Augsburg undergraduate education is the Augsburg Core Curriculum—designed to prepare students to
become informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders—and thus achieve the
educational goals of our mission. Through “Search for Meaning” courses, students explore their own unique gifts and
interests and find where their own talents intersect with the needs of our global society, their vocation.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve for a lifetime: writing, speaking, critical
thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a few.
Thanks to Augsburg’s prime locations in the heart of thriving metropolitan areas, 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 and Rochester are extended
campuses for Augsburg students.
Mission Statement
Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as
testaments to the university motto, “Education for Service,” and mission:
Augsburg University educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and
responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to
intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and
professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran church, and shaped by its urban and global
settings.
Campus Location
Augsburg University is located in the heart of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. The campus is
bordered by Riverside Avenue and Interstate 94, near the University of Minnesota West Bank campus and the University
of Minnesota Medical Center.
Downtown Minneapolis is just minutes away, providing access to internships and careers with some of the country’s
leading companies, as well as entertainment, arts, sports venues, shopping, dining, and transportation. The campus is
blocks from the METRO Green and Blue light rail lines, which provide easy access to destinations in Minneapolis and St.
Paul, as well as the Minneapolis International Airport.
History
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith
presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin,
and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879.
Early Leaders Established a Direction
3
August Weenaas was Augsburg’s first president (1869-76). 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 businessperson. The statement stressed that a good education is also
practical.
Augsburg’s next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to
church and community has been Augsburg’s theme for more than 140 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the democratic college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second president (1876-1907), required
students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early
expression to the concept of Augsburg’s motto, “Education for Service.”
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change
made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was
still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The Focus Changed
Traditional attitudes began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup, Jr. became president. He worked to
develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers.
Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of longtime dean of women, Gerda Mortensen.
The college’s mission assumed a double character: ministerial preparation together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (193862). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life.
After World War II, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the college
had become a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college program based on general
education requirements and elective majors. Full accreditation of the college was achieved in 1954.
A study in 1962 defined the college’s mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free
Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the
Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. Subsequently, the American Lutheran Church
merged with two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
A College in the City
Under the leadership of President Oscar A. Anderson (1963-80), Augsburg became a vital and integral part of the city of
Minneapolis. The College began to reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity
for all students. Also in these years, Augsburg added Anderson Music Hall, Mortensen Residence Hall, Urness Tower,
Christensen Center, Ice Arena, and Murphy Place.
Charles S. Anderson led the college from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg’s commitment to liberal arts education,
spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the
city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two
graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at college-sponsored forums and events,
increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss Lobeck Miles Center; the Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the
James G. Lindell Library.
4
William V. Frame became president in August 1997 and retired in 2006. Under his leadership, the college sharpened its
identity as a college of the city, providing an education grounded in vocational calling that provides students both the
theoretical learning and the practical experience to succeed in a global, diverse world. Augsburg’s Rochester learning
site was added in 2002, further expanding Augsburg’s presence in key cities in the state of Minnesota.
Paul C. Pribbenow became president in July 2006. Under his leadership, Augsburg aims to educate students of all ages—
in the midst of a great city—to be faithful citizens of the world. Augsburg became Augsburg University on September 1,
2017.

Augsburg Today
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed:
An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church.
Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative,
and successful citizens.
The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg
students.
The vision of the university’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.”
Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg
prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society.
In addition to Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences, Augsburg offers numerous master’s
degree programs as well as a doctoral program in nursing practice. For information about graduate programs, go to
augsburg.edu/grad.
Undergraduate and graduate education is offered in a variety of formats. In addition to its Minneapolis campus,
Augsburg has a learning site in Rochester, MN.
Centers of Commitment
The four centers of commitment articulate core values that inform the institutional mission of Augsburg University both
internally and externally. These centers are:
Center for Global Education and Experience
Sabo Center for Democracy and Citizenship
Christensen Center for Vocation
Strommen Center for Meaningful Work
Each center provides a bridge between curriculum and community; each works to realize the university’s strategic
intention to "educate for lives of meaning and purpose" as well as to ensure the university is "at the table" with
community partners in relationships of mutual benefit that enhance the university’s distinctive identity and deepen the
educational experiences of our students. Their themes are reflected in Augsburg's mission: informed citizens, thoughtful
stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.
Minneapolis-Based Day Program
Augsburg’s Minneapolis-based day program offers more than 50 majors—or students can create their own major, either
on campus or through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities. The day program provides an educational opportunity
for students who want to earn a bachelor’s degree through courses that meet during the day or in the evening. Students
in the day program pay comprehensive tuition that allows them to register for 12-19 semester credits per term. ACTC is
a five-college consortium that allows day program students to take courses on other campuses without additional
charge while a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC consortium includes Augsburg University, St. Catherine
University, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas. (See Associated Colleges of the
Twin Cities section).
Adult Undergraduate Program
Augsburg’s adult undergraduate program provides an educational opportunity for adults who want to earn a bachelor’s
degree with a flexible schedule and with a learning environment that acknowledges the real life experience adult
students bring to the classroom. It is a means by which students can gain skills for professional advancement, prepare
for a career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts and professional studies.
6
Minneapolis - Adult Undergraduate Program
Augsburg’s adult undergraduate program is designed to help students finish a bachelor’s degree quickly and efficiently,
in as little as two years. Delivered in a hybrid-learning format, it combines the benefits of face-to-face classroom
instruction with the convenience of online learning.
Augsburg also offers courses from several day program majors during the evening in a traditional classroom setting. Not
all of the required courses for the day program majors are offered in the evening. For a complete list of degree
completion programs offered in the adult undergraduate program, visit augsburg.edu/pro/majors.
Rochester - Adult Undergraduate Program
Augsburg’s instructional site in Rochester was established in 1998 as a natural extension of the institution’s mission and
its expertise in teaching working adults. A variety of undergraduate majors are offered.
Rochester is a city that enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior technological resources. The Rochester site
classrooms and offices are located at Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA), a few blocks south of the heart of the city, which is
home to more than 100,000 residents. Bethel Lutheran Church is located at 810 3rd Ave SE, Rochester, MN 55904.
In Rochester, Minnesota, students complete the same degree requirements as students in the Minneapolis
undergraduate program. Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a semester schedule with classes taking place on
weekday evenings, making them accessible to working adults. As with the adult undergraduate program in Minneapolis,
Rochester classes are delivered in a hybrid-learning format, combining the benefits of face-to-face classroom instruction
with the convenience of online learning. There are eight majors offered in Rochester, some of which must be completed
by taking courses at the Minneapolis campus. In addition to the degree programs that can be completed entirely in this
location, students may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of Rochester and Minneapolis-based
evening courses.
Students at the Rochester site are Augsburg University students. They are supported through an array of e-learning
resources ranging from Lindell Library databases to the use of online course management software. Information about
the Rochester site is available at augsburg.edu/rochester or by calling the Rochester office at 507-288-2886.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, provides certain rights to students
regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg University is required to give notice of the various rights accorded
to students pursuant to FERPA. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following:
Right to inspect and review education records
You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg
University. The student must request to review their education records in writing with their signature. The university will
respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request.
Right to request amendment of education records
You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate,
misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that
the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records according to your request.
11
Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information
You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information
contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize
disclosure without your permission. One such exception which permits disclosure without consent is for disclosure to
school officials who have legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the university in an
administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel
and health staff); person or company with whom the university has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or
collection agent); a person serving on the board of regents, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a
disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has
a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her
professional responsibility.
Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information”
FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may
be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg University without notification of the request or disclosure to
the student.
Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider
very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform
Augsburg University not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or
organizations outside of Augsburg University will be refused.
“Directory information” includes the following:
The student’s name
The student’s address
The student’s telephone number
The student’s e-mail address
The student’s date and place of birth
The student’s major and minor field of study
The student’s academic class level
The student’s enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT)
The student’s participation in officially-recognized activities and sports
The student’s degrees and awards received (including dates)
The weight and height of members of athletic teams
The student’s dates of attendance
Previous educational agencies or institutions attended by the student
The student’s photograph
Augsburg University will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to
contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that
such information be withheld. The Registrar’s Office must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory
Information.
Right to complain to FERPA Office
You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Policy Compliance Office, US Department of Education, 400
Maryland Ave. SW, Washington, DC, 20202, concerning Augsburg’s failure to comply with FERPA.
Reporting Educational Information
Letters of reference must be requested in writing and explicitly indicate what information may be reported in the letter.
12
Annual Security Report
The Annual Security Report (ASR) for Augsburg University contains statistics on reported crimes on and near Augsburg
property and campus, as well as institutional policies concerning campus security and crime. The Department of Public
Safety prepares this annual Crime Report to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and
Crime Statistics Act. The report is available online at http://www.augsburg.edu/dps/crime-alerts-and-logs/. For a
printed copy, contact Augsburg’s Department of Public Safety at 612-330-1717.
Student Rights
The university has adopted a statement of student rights and responsibilities and has procedures for disciplinary action,
grievances, and grade appeals, as outlined in the Augsburg Student Guide at
inside.augsburg.edu/studentaffairs/studentguide.
Official Notices
A university-provided e-mail account is the official means of communication with students, faculty, and staff of Augsburg
University. Students, faculty, and staff are responsible for all information sent to them via the university-provided e-mail
account. Students should regularly check their e-mail account. If a student, faculty or staff member chooses to forward
their Augsburg e-mail, they are responsible for all information and attachments sent to the forwarded e-mail account.
Students will also receive official notices via the A-Mail online publication and should routinely review the A-Mail.
Resident day program students will be assigned a campus mailbox; commuter day program students may request a
campus mail box. Students should check their campus mailbox regularly.
13
Admission
Augsburg University strives to create a strong, rich, and vibrant campus community with students representing a large
number of backgrounds, viewpoints, experiences, talents, and cultures. Selection of students for Augsburg University is
based upon careful consideration of each candidate’s academic achievement, personal qualities and interests,
participation in activities and employment, and potential for development as a student and as a graduate of Augsburg
University.
Augsburg University asks all applicants for admission and readmission whether they have been convicted of a felony. A
felony conviction does not automatically preclude an applicant from being accepted to Augsburg University. The full
process and policy can be found in the Augsburg Student Guide.
Visit Campus
Firsthand appraisal of programs, facilities, and academic atmosphere is valuable. First-year and transfer applicants are
encouraged to visit the campus and meet with an admission counselor. Arrangements can be made to meet with a
member of the faculty and to attend classes when school is in session. Augsburg’s undergraduate admission staff is
ready to help students and families with planning. Visit our website or call any weekday between 8:30 am and 5:30
pm—612-330-1001 or toll-free 1-800-788-5678—and we’ll assist with your questions and arrange a tour for you.
Admission visits and tours are available Monday through Friday and selected Saturdays. The Office of Admission is
located on the lower level of the Christensen Center and serves traditional undergraduates, post-traditional
undergraduates, and graduate students.

will be evaluated for possible transfer credit. Failure to submit the replacement official transcript in a timely manner
will result in a registration hold.

Students with an existing baccalaureate degree from Augsburg or another institution may enroll to complete an
additional major(s) or minor(s). Students will not be awarded a second degree unless it is different from the original
degree awarded (BA, BM, BS). Students cannot earn multiple degrees for the same major, though it is possible to earn
multiple degrees from the same academic department if the majors are distinct.
Second degree requirements include a minimum of 32 semester credits earned at Augsburg, completion of a major, and
completion of any liberal arts requirements not covered by a previous degree. Depending on the student’s previous
degree, completion of a second major (non-degree) may also be an option.
International Students
International students are a vital part of the Augsburg community. We welcome students from all over the world
wishing to start or complete their degrees at Augsburg. Any student requiring a student (F-1) visa to study in the United
States will be considered an international applicant.
For admission and/or financial aid questions, please contact us by emailing beintl@augsburg.edu or calling 612-3301359.

17
Financing Your Education
The Board of Regents approves the costs for the academic year. The board reviews costs annually and makes changes as
required. Augsburg reserves the right to adjust charges should economic conditions necessitate.
Full-Time vs. Half-Time
Students will need to be enrolled in 6 credits to be considered half-time and 12-19 credits to be considered full-time.
This is an important distinction for charges and for accessing financial aid.

Payments
Semester Charges
Prior to the start of each semester, a statement of estimated charges showing charges and financial aid credits
designated by the Student Financial Services Office is sent to the student via e-mail. All statements are available online
through AugNet’s Records and Registration site. Payments can be made online at
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/header-make-paymentaccount-activity/payments. Augsburg may charge late fees
and interest on delinquent accounts. Review the full policy regarding past due balances online at
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/disclosure.
Payment Options
Augsburg University offers payment plan options for all students. Information about payment plans is available online at
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts.
Payment Policy
Students at Augsburg University are obligated to pay Term Fees and additional charges when they register for each
academic term. “Term Fees” include tuition, room and board charges and other fees initiated during your time as a
student. Students are responsible to pay for all of these charges regardless of whether financial aid is received or
employers or other third parties pay as agreed. “Term Fees” are subject to refund only to the extent allowed under the
Augsburg University Tuition Refund Policy.
Augsburg accepts the following forms of payment:
Cash
Students and guest payers may make cash payments in-person at the Enrollment Center. Cash should never be
mailed. Students will receive a receipt of their cash payment.
Check
Students and guest payers may pay their term fees via check either in-person at the Enrollment Center, through mail, or
online using e-check/ACH. A $30 NSF Fee will be added for any payment returned by the bank for Non-Sufficient
Funds. A receipt will automatically be sent electronically for any online payments. Students who pay in-person or
through mail may request a receipt of the check payment.
Credit Card/Debit Card
Students and guest payers may make student account payments online with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American
Express credit card. As of June 10th, 2016, Augsburg will no longer accept credit card or debit card payments in-person,
over the phone, or through the mail. Credit cards will only be accepted online via Cashnet, a vendor contracted by
Augsburg.
Because Cashnet charges Augsburg for their services, a credit card service fee of 2.75 percent will be associated with any
credit card payment made to the university. This is to offset the approximately $250,000 in costs that Augsburg accrues
annually for providing credit card payment options to our students. Augsburg will not receive any part of the service fee
and will not be profiting from it.
Financial Aid
All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must reapply each year. In addition to reapplying for aid,
students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the attainment of their degree or certificate as stipulated in
the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) section of this catalog.
19
Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work
opportunities. The university cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid
programs.
The primary responsibility for financing a university education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid
supplements student and family resources.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student is
eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent
family members, other educational expenses, retirement needs, and special considerations.
Types of Aid
A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a specific scholarship or grant
(except as noted).
Augsburg may offer both merit-based and need-based financial aid to undergraduate students at the time of admission.
First year students can find specific information at www.augsburg.edu/firstyear/scholarships. Transfer students can find
information at www.augsburg.edu/transfer/financial-aid-and-scholarships.
Augsburg will also determine students’ eligibility to receive financial aid grants from both federal and state entities.
These grants include Minnesota State Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Pell
Grant, Federal TEACH Grant, and Bureau of Indian Affairs/Tribal and State Indian Scholarship. Contact Student Financial
Services if you need additional information about any of these programs.
In addition to aid administered by Augsburg University, students are urged to investigate the possibility of scholarships
and grants that might be available in their own communities. It is worthwhile to check with churches, the company or
business employing parents or spouses, high schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid
available to students who meet their requirements. In addition to these sources, some students are eligible for aid
through Rehabilitation Services, Educational Assistance for Veterans, and Educational Assistance for Veterans’ Children,
and other sources.
Loan Assistance
Students must be enrolled at least half-time (6 or more credits) to be eligible for any federal loans.
Federal Direct Student Loan
o Subsidized Direct Loans are need-based loans that the federal government subsidizes by paying the interest
while the student is in school and during the grace period.
o For the Unsubsidized Direct Loan, interest begins accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower is
responsible for all interest. The borrower may choose to make payments while in school or may defer
payments and allow interest to accrue and be capitalized (added to the balance of the loan).
Federal Parent Loan Program (PLUS)
o PLUS is a loan program to help parents meet university costs of their dependent children. Parents may
borrow up to the cost of attendance (minus all other student financial aid). Repayment begins within 60
days of final disbursement.
Further information about all student and parent loan programs can be found at
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/loans.
Student Employment
Students are able to apply for work study positions through Augsburg’s Human Resources Office. Part-time work
provided by the university is considered financial aid, just like scholarships, loans, and grants. Students are limited to a
maximum of 20 hours of on-campus employment per week. The number of hours a student can work is dependent on
the position and the needs of the department. However, work is not guaranteed.
All on-campus work is governed by policies stipulated in the work contract issued to the student employee for each
placement. Payment is made bi-weekly by check to the student employee.
20
Federal College Work Study Program and Minnesota State Work Study Program
o Under these programs, the federal or state government supplies funds on a matching basis with the
university to provide part-time work opportunities.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
Federal regulations require that all higher education institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether
students receiving financial aid are making satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of a degree. The
purpose of this policy is to make sure that students who receive financial aid are using this money wisely. It is meant to
curtail the use of financial aid by students who fail to successfully complete their course work. Failure to meet the
following standards makes a student ineligible for all institutional, federal, and state financial aid.
Augsburg’s Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy follows the Satisfactory Academic Policy.
Student Account Financial Disclosure
Students at Augsburg University are obligated to pay Term Fees and additional charges when they register for each
academic term. “Term Fees” include tuition, room and board charges and other fees initiated during their time as a
student. Students are responsible to pay for all of these charges regardless of whether financial aid is received or
employers or other third parties pay as agreed. “Term Fees” are subject to refund only to the extent allowed under the
Augsburg University Tuition Refund Policy. Statements and account history are available online through AugNet Records
and Registration.
Augsburg University may require someone to co-sign on the student’s obligations in special cases, such as when a
student has a history of late or missed payments. When a co-signer’s signature is required, both students and co-signers
are responsible for payment of all costs incurred (including collection costs and fees of any collection agency and/or
attorney, if applicable) and all other conditions outlined on the Student Account Financial Disclosure.
Results of Balances Not Paid in Full
Augsburg may charge late fees and interest on delinquent accounts. Missed or late payments will be subject to a late
payment charge and/or a finance charge on the overdue balance from the date the balance was due until payment in
full is received. If your account is not paid in full on the first day of the term, finance charges at the rate of 8% per year
(.67% per month) will be added onto your student account balance. For example, this means that for every $1,000
owed you will receive $6.70 a month in finance charges. A $30 NSF Fee will be added for any payment returned by the
bank for Non-Sufficient Funds.
Past Due Accounts
If the student does not set up a formal payment plan with Augsburg’s Student Financial Services department, Augsburg
reserves the right to demand payment of the entire balance owed by that student and to take steps to collect it.
Augsburg may cancel the student’s registration, prevent the student from registering for future terms, withhold
transcripts or diplomas, remove the student from on-campus housing, turn the student’s account over to a collection
agency, or take legal action to collect any past due balance. Each student authorizes Augsburg to release financial
information about her or his account and other pertinent information such as address and phone number to third
parties who are dealing with the collection of the account balance. By providing us with a telephone number for a
cellular phone or other wireless device, you are expressly consenting to receive communications – including but not
limited to prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an automatic telephone dialing
system – from us and our affiliates and agents at that number. This express consent applies to each such telephone
number that you provide to us now or in the future and permits such calls regardless of their purpose. Calls and
messages may incur access fees from your cellular provider. Each student also agrees to reimburse Augsburg University,
or its agents, the fees of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 40% of the debt,
and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, we incur in such collection efforts. Please note that,
due to the Bankruptcy Reform Act, educational benefits are generally exempt from discharge under bankruptcy. The
terms of this agreement remain in effect until all Term Fees and other charges are paid in full.
21
Tuition Refund
Students are eligible for a 100% tuition refund for any courses they drop without notation through the date labeled “Last
day to drop without a ‘W’ grade & 100% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. After this date,
students are no longer eligible for any refund of tuition unless they withdraw from all of their courses. This policy is
effective whether or not a student has attended classes.
Students withdrawing from all of a term’s courses may receive a 50% tuition refund when they withdraw by the date
labeled “Last day to withdraw with 50% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar.
Students are responsible for cancelling courses through the Registrar’s Office (or online) in order to be eligible for any
refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for
all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations
are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed.
Medical Refund
If a student is forced to withdraw from one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, a request for a
medical refund should be made through the Academic/Financial Petition. Petition forms are available through the
Registrar’s Office website. An extra medical refund may be granted by the Committee upon submission of
documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances.
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 university 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 the university. If there are extenuating circumstances, a petition to have the cost of tuition refunded
can be made. Petition forms are available online through the Registrar’s Office website.
Financial Aid Policy
Financial aid such as federal, state, and institutional grants and scholarships are awarded based upon the total number
of registered credits on the “Last day to add with faculty signature – Full Semester class” as noted on the Academic
Calendar. Students must register for internships, Time 2 classes, and ACTC classes before the “Last day to add with
faculty signature-Full Semester class.” Financial aid will not be adjusted for classes added after this date.
Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester by actively attending and participating in classes
throughout the semester. Financial aid is recalculated when students do any of the following: drop classes without a
“W” grade, fail to begin classes, cease to attend classes, fail all classes, or fully withdraw from all classes.
Financial Aid – Return of Title IV Funds Policy
Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester. A student can earn their aid by attending classes.
Augsburg must always return any unearned Title IV funds it is responsible for returning within 45 days of the date the
school determined the student withdrew.
The withdrawal date used in the return to title IV calculation of a student’s federal financial aid is the actual date
indicated on the official withdraw record. If a student stops attending classes without notifying the university, the
withdrawal date will be the last date of academic activity determined by the university.
Federal/State Aid Adjustments
Augsburg is required to return unearned federal/state aid for students who fully withdraw from their courses. The
Return to Title IV calculation is based on the total number of days in the semester compared to the total number of days
22
that a student attended classes before the last date of attendance. If the student receives more aid than they ‘earned’,
then the ‘unearned portion’ of the student’s aid must be returned to the U.S. Department of Education. After 60% of the
term has passed, students are eligible to keep all of their federal/state aid. If you are planning to completely withdraw
from your courses, please see a Student Financial Services counselor to determine what aid may need to be returned.
Financial aid will be returned to the aid program from which it came. If returned to a loan program, your outstanding
balance will be reduced by the amount of the return. Aid will be returned in the following order:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Unsubsidized Direct Loan
Subsidized Direct Loan
Federal Perkins Loan
Direct PLUS Loans
Federal Pell Grants
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
TEACH Grant
Institutional Aid Adjustments
Augsburg will return institutional aid for students who partially withdraw or fully withdraw from courses. If students
withdraw from their courses, they will receive a 50% tuition refund and 50% of their institutional aid will be removed. If
a student withdraws after the last day to receive a tuition refund, there will be no adjustment to their institutional aid.
Post-Withdrawal Disbursement
If a student earned more aid than was disbursed to him/her, the student may be eligible for a post-withdrawal
disbursement. Augsburg’s financial aid office will notify the student in writing if he/she is eligible for a post-withdrawal
disbursement of Title IV loan funds.
A student or parent borrower must first confirm in writing whether he/she accepts/declines all or some of the loan
funds offered as a post-withdrawal disbursement. A post-withdrawal disbursement of Federal grant funds does not
require student acceptance or approval. The university will seek the student’s authorization to use a post-withdrawal
disbursement for all other educationally related charges in addition to tuition and fees.
Credit Refund
Augsburg students may be eligible to receive a credit refund if their financial aid exceeds tuition and fee charges for a
term. Credit refunds are issued within two weeks after the last day to drop courses without recorded notation. Financial
aid needs to be finalized and applied to a student’s account before the credit refund can be issued. (You can verify your
financial aid status online through Track Your Financial Aid. You can check your transaction history online to verify that
all of your financial aid has been applied to your account and nothing is left pending.)
Changes in enrollment status, housing status, and program status may affect financial aid eligibility and credit refunds.
Students who are enrolled less than half-time (less than 6.0 credits for undergraduates; less than 3.0 credits for
graduates) may not be eligible for financial aid; however, students may apply for private alternative loans. Registration
changes made from the first week of the term through midterm may require a return of financial aid funds. Students
who drop courses may receive a tuition refund, but some forms of financial aid may have to be adjusted before a refund
will be available. Financial aid return of funds may take up to 45 days to be processed.
Bookstore
Students who are registered for the upcoming term will be allowed to charge up to $750 to their student account.
Students do not need to request a bookstore account.
Please plan ahead and purchase books and supplies before the scheduled cut-off dates. Plan ahead for courses that start
midterm as you will be unable to charge anything to your student account after the cut-off date.
23
Students’ accounts will be billed for only what was spent on their bookstore accounts before credit refunds were issued.
If your bookstore charges create a balance on your account, you need to make payments in accordance with your
statement. Bookstore purchases charged to a student account are intended for students who have excess financial aid
funds to cover their tuition, fees, AND their books or supplies. Please contact Student Financial Services before you
purchase books if you need to discuss payment options.
Due to the financial aid cycle, you can only charge expenses to your bookstore account during specific times.
Third Party
If you are expecting a third party to cover the cost of your books, you will need to turn in an itemized receipt of your
purchases to the Student Financial Services Office, along with your invoice request.
Additional Funds
If the cost of your textbooks and supplies are above $750 in one term, you have enough financial aid to cover the
additional costs, and you would like to charge the additional amount to your student account, please send the following
information to Student Financial Services (studentfinances@augsburg.edu). All requests need to be in writing.
Subject: Request for Additional Funds
Full Name:
Student ID number:
Additional request:
Students will receive an e-mail when the additional request has been processed. Accounts are opened as quickly as
possible, but it could take up to two business days for activation.
Consumer Information
Loss of Financial Aid Eligibility Due to a Drug Offense
A student convicted of a state or federal offense involving the possession or sale of an illegal drug that occurred while
the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid is not eligible for Title IV funds. [An illegal drug is a
controlled substance as defined by the Controlled Substance Act and does not include alcohol and tobacco.]
A borrower’s eligibility is based on the student’s self-certification on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA). Convictions that are reversed, set aside or removed from the student’s record, or a determination arising from
a juvenile court proceeding do not affect eligibility and do not need to be reported by the student.
A student who is convicted of a drug-related offense that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and
receiving Title IV aid loses Title IV eligibility as follows:
For the possession of illegal drugs
First offense: one year from the date of conviction
Second offense: two years from the date of the second conviction
Third offense: indefinitely from the date of the third conviction
For the sale of illegal drugs
First offense: two years from the date of conviction
Second offense: indefinitely from the date of the second conviction
A school must provide a student who loses Title IV eligibility due to a drug-related conviction with a timely, separate,
clear, and conspicuous written notice. The notice must advise the student of his or her loss of Title IV eligibility and the
ways in which the student may regain that eligibility.
24
Regaining Eligibility after a Drug Conviction
A student may regain eligibility at any time by completing an approved drug rehabilitation program and by informing the
school that he or she has done so. A student regains Title IV eligibility on the date he or she successfully completes the
program. A drug rehabilitation program is considered approved for these purposes if it includes at least two
unannounced drug tests and meets one of the following criteria:
The program received or is qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly under a federal, state, or local government
program.
The program is administered or recognized by a federal, state, or local government agency or court.
The program received or is qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a federally or state licensed
insurance company.
The program administered or recognized by a federally or state-licensed hospital, health clinic, or medical doctor.
Policies may change throughout an academic year if necessary to comply with federal, state, or institutional changes or
regulations.
25
Residence Life
Students who choose to make Augsburg their home find a friendly, 23-acre village in the midst of a major metropolitan
area. They make many new friends among roommates and classmates. They are just steps away from Lindell Library,
classrooms, Hoversten Chapel, the ice arena, fitness center, and Christensen Center. With just over 1,000 students living
on campus, most students and faculty greet each other by name.
Augsburg recognizes the importance of the residential experience during the college years. Studies show that students
who live on campus are more likely to persist academically, to be involved on campus, and tend to have a higher grade
point average. Residence Life staff are professional and student team members available to support students in their
academic and co-curricular experiences. Through their efforts residential community members become acquainted with
life at Augsburg through educational and social opportunities.
Living on campus offers many opportunities for learning, leadership, and fun. Numerous events are planned to welcome
students to the community, including dances, movie nights, open mic nights, and weeks devoted to special themes or
issues.
Resident students have access to a 24-hour computer lounge, wireless internet, study lounges, 24-hour security, laundry
facilities, and vending. All rooms and apartments are equipped with cable and internet access. A skyway connecting the
lobby of Urness Hall and Mortensen Hall to Christensen Center and Oren Gateway Center to the Lindell Library keeps
students out of the weather on the way to class.
To secure housing on campus, students need to submit the following items:

Student Activities and Organizations
Augsburg’s mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense. Experiences in the classroom are an important
part of college life, yet learning and development also occur in formal and informal activities of the university and the
surrounding area. Whether students take classes in the day or evening, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg
will add dimension to their education. There are over 50 student organizations that students can join, and students may
also create their own with three additional peers. For more information, visit Augsburg.edu/campuslife.

Campus Life
About Campus Life
Mission Statement
Campus Life aims to create an environment where students can connect, engage, and invest in the Augsburg
community.
Philosophy
Campus Life recognizes the benefits associated with student engagement outside of the classroom. We work to enhance
and supplement the liberal arts instruction at Augsburg University through quality transitional programs for new
students as well as through leadership and developmental education.
Program Areas
Campus Involvement
Augsburg Day Student Government is the official governing body of the Day Student population at Augsburg University.
It advocates for ideas, concerns, needs, and activities of the Day Student Body.
Augsburg Student Activities Council (ASAC) seeks to build community and provide opportunities for students to grow
holistically through intentional and diverse programming. ASAC plans and orchestrates some of the largest student
programming on campus, including Homecoming, concerts, comedy shows, late night programming activities, movies,
and much more.
28
Student recognition includes honoring student leaders and student organizations at the Augsburg Leadership Awards,
including Act Six Scholar graduates, Augsburg Senior Leadership Society inductees, and other award recipients.
Student organizations provide students the opportunity to become involved in various interests, passions, and activities
at Augsburg University. Participation allows students to meet fellow classmates, have fun, and lead and develop an
organization around a common purpose while making an impact on both the Augsburg and greater community.
Commuter Student Life
The Student Lounge, located on the Main Level of the Christensen Center, is a community space available for students to
gather, study, watch television, play games, and just relax.
Lockers are available for free for commuter students to reserve for the academic year on the ground floor of Anderson
Residence Hall and the ground floor of Science Hall.
Leadership Development
Act Six Scholars is a scholarship program that provides full tuition and room/board at Augsburg University for up to
seven incoming undergraduate students each year. It aims to provide extensive leadership development and mentorship
opportunities in order for this select group of students to engage and to invest fully in the Augsburg and greater
communities.
Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is an initiative designed to develop new leadership at Augsburg University by
empowering first-year students to cultivate and apply their inherent leadership skills through a semester-long skillbuilding training program.
Orientation Leader Training is designed to grow the existing awareness, knowledge, and skills of student leaders so that
they may successfully create welcoming and inclusive environments for incoming first-year and transfer students by
learning to work across social identities and backgrounds while implementing orientation programming.
Student Leadership Institute focuses on developing students’ knowledge, awareness, and skills on various topics of
leadership.
Orientation Programs
SOAR is a required two-day, overnight orientation experience for incoming first-year students designed to help with the
transition to Augsburg University. Students will meet fellow classmates, faculty, and staff; learn about University
resources and services; and get a taste of life on campus.
Transfer SOAR / Spring SOAR is a required day-long orientation experience for transfer students designed to help with
the transition to Augsburg University. Students will learn about University resources and services, hear about academic
programs, and discover why being a part of the Augsburg community is so rewarding.
Auggie Days is a required week-long orientation experience for incoming first-year students designed to complement
SOAR, provide opportunities to enhance academic and personal success, and offer a helpful advantage in starting at
Augsburg University.
Campus Ministry
At Augsburg University, we are “guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church.” Because of this tradition, we
seek to support individuals who are exploring, questioning, and deepening their faith. Augsburg advocates for and
develops an environment where people are encouraged to discover and share their gifts for the sake of the world. As a
university of the church, we emphasize the development of this through attending to the sacred, living into radical
hospitality, and shaping community. The university pastors, Muslim Student Advisor, and campus ministry staff have
offices in Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available for spiritual guidance,
counseling, support, or information.
Our concern for spiritual care is evident in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their
own faith. Daily worship, Wednesday Night Holy Communion, Bible studies, community outreach, retreats, peace and
29
justice events, concerts and gatherings, Friday prayer, and interfaith initiatives are examples of the wide variety of
activities on campus.
Community Engagement
The Sabo Center for Democracy and Citizenship, rooted in Augsburg’s mission to educate students to be informed
citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders, aims to:
Create a culture of civic agency and engagement among students, faculty, staff, and our broader community so that
graduates are architects of change and pioneers in work of public significance.
Foster connections with local community based organizations and position Augsburg as an anchor institution in the
Twin Cities.
Revitalize the democratic and public purposes of higher education in a time when strengthening colleges’ visible
contributions to the common good, not simply to private benefit.
Bonner Leaders Program
In Fall of 2008 Augsburg University launched its first year of the Bonner Leaders Program. Through the Bonner program,
students develop deep community relationships and engage in long-term policy advocacy throughout their time at
Augsburg. Those selected to be Bonner Leaders are students with diverse ethnic and geographical backgrounds and
experience in community and public work. Through placements with partner nonprofit organizations and community
programs, students work an average of 220 hours each academic year supporting ELL classrooms, running an
employment education computer lab, coordinating a low-income housing program, community health outreach,
tutoring in afterschool programs, and more. Beyond their work-study placements, students participate in civic
engagement efforts on campus.
Through their participation with the Bonner Leaders Program, students engage in monthly guided reflections and
leadership development workshops. The Augsburg Bonner Leaders Program is a successful model that builds on the
university’s culture of community and civic engagement.
Campus Kitchen
The Campus Kitchen Project connects the campus community with the larger neighborhood by using food as a tool to
nourish bodies, develop leadership, and educate students through service learning. To accomplish these goals, four
programs focus on this engagement:
Food to Share
o Surplus food from the Augsburg Dining Service is donated, reheated, and served by student volunteers to
neighborhood partners, including homeless shelters, youth and senior programs, and others. Augsburg
students in need can also find free food at our food shelf on campus, the Campus Cupboard.
Food to Grow
o On the corner of campus, Augsburg staff and students manage a community garden composed of nearly 100
garden plots where community and campus members can grow their own food. The garden staff also hosts
classes on healthy living in which neighborhood youth learn to grow and cook healthy food.
Food to Buy
o Find fresh produce grown by local farmers at the weekly farmer’s markets Tuesdays through the summer:
11-1 pm at Foss Chapel on campus, and 2-5 pm at the Brian Coyle Center down the street. The market
doubles any purchase made with food stamps. Augsburg is also the host of an organic CSA farm that people
can become members of and get a large box of produce each week.
Food to Know
o Understanding our food system and community health through programs that educate on issues of hunger
and poverty, and cooking and gardening classes in the community and weekly on campus.
30
Common Table
The Common Table, located at 2001 Riverside in the Trinity Congregation Building, is devoted to building community
capacity to make change by connecting and equipping leaders.
Connecting campus community with neighborhood community.
Connecting students to local communities, professionals, and movements.
Connecting community members across boundaries at an intersection.
Equipping young people with the mentorship and connections to pursue their goals.
Equipping community members with the tools and experience of public work and organizing.
Equipping leaders with an equity analysis for equitable leadership.
We continue to welcome new ideas for utilizing this multi-purpose space to deepen the relationships between Augsburg
University, Trinity Lutheran, the Cedar Riverside neighborhood, and the Twin Cities.
Jane Addams School for Democracy
The Jane Addams School for Democracy brings immigrant families, college students and other community members
together to do public work and learning. It is a community-based initiative inspired by the vision of democracy,
productive citizenship, and popular education held by settlement house pioneers like Jane Addams, who created Hull
House in Chicago in 1889.
Participants in the school include long-time community residents, Hmong, Latino, and East African refugee and
immigrant adults and children, as well as students, faculty, and staff from nine Twin Cities colleges and universities. The
non-bureaucratic and non-hierarchical structure of Jane Addams School breaks down barriers so that people can work
together across language, culture, gender and age differences to address issues that impact their daily lives.
Public Achievement
The Public Achievement organizing model recognizes that people of every age have skills, talents and ideas, and that by
learning to work strategically with others they can solve problems and build sustainable democratic societies. In a school
setting, young people form teams to take action on a public problem that is important to them (for example, driving out
gang activity or improving classroom space). The team works with a coach—typically a teacher or college student—to
develop an action plan. Through practice and reflection, the team members develop public skills and confidence.
Service-Learning and Community Engagement/Community Service-Learning
Augsburg’s Community Service-Learning Program provides students with opportunities to understand and respond to
needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences and civic engagement activities. A key component of
community service-learning is reflection on and analysis of community issues in order to promote personal and
educational growth and civic responsibility. By connecting classroom content with service-learning experiences in the
city, Augsburg students deepen their understanding of abstract course concepts while learning about pertinent and
related community issues. This dynamic and interactive educational approach employs reciprocal learning between
students and their community. Service-learning components are embedded in most academic disciplines. Examples of
community service-learning sites include homeless shelters, cultural and environmental organizations, tutoring
programs, and literacy centers.
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 may perform on regional, national, and international tours. Many
other ensembles are available to cover the entire range of musical styles and previous musical experience. Students
stage several plays on campus each year under the direction of the Theater Program and have the opportunity to attend
a series of on-campus workshops with visiting arts professionals.
31
Student Center
Christensen Center, the Augsburg student union, serves students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests. Traditionally
considered the “living room” of the campus, the student union provides a central gathering place for the diverse
populations of residential, commuter, Adult Undergraduate, and graduate students at Augsburg through the merging of
curricular and co-curricular programs and activities. Christensen Center also houses several student services, such as the
Admission Office, Campus Life, the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work, Multicultural Student Services, LGBTQIA+
Student Services, University Events, Center for Global Education and Experience, International Student and Scholar
Services, the Copy Center, Shipping and Receiving, the Welcome Desk, A’viands Food Services, and Mail Services.
The Auggie’s Nest, located on the ground floor of Christensen Center, serves as the student organization office area and
houses offices of the Augsburg Echo (campus newspaper) and KAUG (campus radio). Lockers are also available in this
area for student organization use.
Day Student Government
The Augsburg Day Student Government supports and advocates for student concerns, needs, and activities. Day Student
Government serves as the primary voice and liaison between Day students and the administration, faculty, and staff of
Augsburg University.

Student Resources/Academic and Support Services
Lindell Library Resources
The James G. Lindell Family Library is home to a collection of almost 400,000 books, more than half of which are ebooks
that can be read online or downloaded at your convenience. Students also have access to millions of journal articles,
over 60,000 streaming videos, nearly 200 databases, and a wide assortment of movies on DVD or VHS. Lindell also
houses significant collections of juvenile literature and K-12 curriculum materials, as well as the university’s archives and
special collections. Our digital collections include full runs of campus publications such as The Augsburgian, The Echo,

consultations with a librarian at Lindell’s Learning Commons desk, by phone at 612-330-1604, by email at
refdesk@augsburg.edu, or chat with an expert 24/7 through our Ask-A-Librarian service at library.augsburg.edu.
Other Cool Stuff
Libraries are more than just books and databases, they are places to gather for collaborative research or quiet study and
reflection. At Lindell Library, you can do both. Ten group study rooms are available on the top floor of Lindell Library,
and can be reserved up to two weeks in advance. The lower level is a designated quiet study space for those who prefer
to work alone. Whether working on individual research or a large group project, Augsburg students can check out all
sorts of equipment from the Library’s Circulation Desk, including laptops, cameras, microphones, and other AV
equipment.
If your research takes you off campus or you just want to explore the Twin Cities, you can check out a bike or a
MetroTransit Go-To Card for use on buses and the light rail. Both are available at no cost.
The staff at Lindell Library are eager to help you with all your research needs. Stop by anytime that the library is open
(hours are always posted on the library’s website), or contact us at:

Prepare for the job search and/or graduate school
Build lifelong career management skills to successfully navigate the changing job market
Make a difference in our communities by contributing their unique gifts to the world
Augsburg offers several opportunities for students to gain on-the-job and internship experience. Our faculty and staff
have developed partnerships with community organizations and employers that provide learning opportunities to
students, many of which fulfill the Augsburg Experience requirement for graduation.
Internships
Internships for Academic Credit
o An internship for credit is a carefully planned, work- or service-based learning experience where a student
focuses on specific learning objectives that connect concepts of the major to the experience. An academic
internship is approved, supervised, and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the
student wishes to earn the internship credit. Interdisciplinary (INS) internships are also available. A learning
agreement plan, negotiated with the faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlines the academic
objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods for receiving credit. Students complete internships in
nonprofits, small and large businesses, government agencies, museums, arts organizations, schools and
churches.
o Internships for credit are available in all majors and can be taken during any semester. Students must be
registered for their internship during the term in which they are completing the majority of their experience.
Credit will not be awarded for past experiences. Internships can be registered for 2 or 4 semester credits. A
two credit internship involves a minimum time commitment of, on average, 6 hours per week or 80 total
hours for the semester. Internships for four credits require a minimum time commitment of, on average, 12
hours per week or 160 total hours for the semester. A maximum of 16 semester credits of internship may
count toward the total credits required for the degree. Upper division internships completed off-campus for
credit will automatically fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement.
Non-credit internships
o Internships related to a student’s major or career interests can be registered for a zero-credit internship
(AUG EX3) to fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement. The goal is for students to apply
34
theory to practice in a real world setting and reflect on the experience. Internship opportunities are typically
part-time during the academic year and/or full-time during the summer, but may have flexible start dates
and schedules. Students choosing to complete this option will register the internship during the term in
which they will be completing the experience, set learning goals, complete a minimum of 80 hours, and
reflect on their experience. Staff of Career and Internship Services supervise non-credit internships and
evaluate the reflection process.
Work Connections (Available to AU students only)
o Work Connections is a non-credit option available to AU students who are currently working full or parttime. The Work Connections option allows AU students to utilize their rich and often extensive work history
to meet the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement in lieu of a traditional internship. AU students
choosing to complete this option will register for the Work Connections course (AUG EX4) during the term in
which they intend to complete their project and reflection work. This option requires students to write
learning outcome goals that integrate their on-the-job experience with classroom learning and complete
reflection assignments describing an academic and work connection. Staff of Career and Internship Services
supervises and evaluates the Work Connections reflection process.
Gage Center for Student Success
The Gage Center assists all Augsburg students in setting and achieving optimal academic goals here at the university and
beyond. The Gage Center is located on the Link Level of Lindell Library. The center consists of five collaborating units:
Academic Advising
The professional academic advisors in the Deidre Middleton Office of Academic Advising work directly with students in
identifying academic interests and satisfying the curricular requirements. The office advises all new Day and Adult
Undergraduate (AU) students with course selection and registration, and provides orientation to academic policies,
procedures, and resources. In addition, Academic Advising administers placement tests, interprets graduation
requirements, provides degree planning resources, assists students in filing their graduation paperwork, and answers
academic progress questions.
All incoming students are assigned a faculty and academic advisor. Academic advisors work closely with students
transitioning to Augsburg to ensure their understanding of available resources and support. As students become more
familiar with the university, they spend more time meeting with their faculty advisor and developing the faculty-student
mentoring relationship.
Once a major is declared, each student will select a faculty advisor from their chosen discipline by completing the
Change of Major/New Advisor Form. While all students are required to meet with their faculty advisor(s) each term

Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS)
The Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and academic
support for students with documented learning, attention, psychiatric, sensory, and physical disabilities, as well as those
with temporary disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain access to the
university curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and challenging, yet
supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds, preparations, and experiences.
Each term, Disability Specialists work directly with students to develop a plan for ensuring they have equal access to
Augsburg courses, programs, activities, and facilities. Students are encouraged to meet regularly with their specialist,
and discussions may include:
Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g., extended time, note-taking)
Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, student technology assistance, academic advising, counseling,
financial aid)
Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Accommodations Laboratory
Coaching on academic, organizational, and time management skills
Campus living accommodations
The Disability Specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisors, and other members of the university
faculty, staff, or administration as they work to facilitate equal access for each student. Taking advantage of these
accommodations and services, however, remains the student’s responsibility.
Any Augsburg student who wants to establish eligibility for accommodations and services should schedule a meeting
with a Specialist to discuss their needs, as well as appropriate documentation of their disability. CLASS also provides
informal screenings for students who suspect they may have a learning-related disability. These screenings are meant
only to help students determine whether they should seek a thorough evaluation by a qualified professional.
Academic accommodations are intended to ensure access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities and
may not fundamentally alter the basic nature or essential components of an institution’s courses or programs.
The services and technology provided by CLASS are enhanced by generous support of the Gage family and Groves
Foundation. For further information, call 612-330-1053.

success, and thrive in a residential community of accountability and support. The culture of StepUP is shaped by its core
elements: abstinence-based recovery models, mutual support groups, peer-to-peer recovery support, and other proven
pathways to healthy recovery - along with the residential component of the program. Our holistic approach to recovery
focuses around students developing healthy minds, bodies, spirits, and emotions.
Students live in on-campus recovery housing, have individual support meetings with licensed alcohol and drug
counseling staff as well as mental health staff, and participate in community-building activities. Students have access to
academic skills specialists and other support services on campus in order to ensure their educational success.
Participation in StepUP offers students leadership opportunities within the program, on campus, and in the greater Twin
Cities community. Our students give back through leadership and service and thrive in an alcohol- and drug-free
environment. In StepUP, students join together to form a community in which recovery is celebrated as a normal part of
personal growth. Many of the friendships and bonds that students form while participating in the program last a
lifetime.
In order to qualify for the program, students must be committed to a 12-step or other proven, abstinence-based
recovery program, have a minimum of six months of continuous sobriety, agree to abide by the StepUP student
agreement, and live in StepUP housing.

available and all coursework is in English, with the opportunity to study the host country language. Travel scholarships
are available for these programs. For further information on these programs and scholarships visit the CGEE website.
Short-term Faculty-led Programs
Faculty-led programs in winter break, spring break, and summer offer opportunities to take a course abroad or around
the US with an Augsburg professor and other Augsburg students. Program travel length ranges from eight days to five
weeks and offerings change annually. Scholarships are available for some programs.
Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA)
Augsburg, in consortium with other colleges and universities, offers full semester and summer programs in Ecuador,
Italy, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, and the USA (Twin Cities and Jackson, Mississippi). All HECUA programs
explore civic engagement, community, and social change, and emphasize internships and field study.
Art for Social Change: Intersections of Art, Identity, and Advocacy—Spring
What is art for? How do our identities influence the art we make? How do we create work that examines systems of
power, oppression, and liberation? Art for Social Change students seek answers to these questions in galleries,
museums, street corners, and artist studios. They meet artists whose work creates spaces for healing and reconciliation,
and join a growing movement of artists pushing the boundaries of what creative expression does, where it unfolds, and
whose voices it amplifies. Guided by practicing artists, students create new work informed by the study of systemic
oppression in the Twin Cities. Art for Social Change meets in innovative centers for creativity and community throughout
the Twin Cities. Time spent with leaders, arts organizations, and funders equip students with grant-writing techniques,
professional pathways, and inspiration for building a more equitable future. All students complete an individual
internship with a local arts nonprofit. Past internship sites have included Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center, Two Rivers
Gallery, Pangea World Theatre, Mia, The Loft, and GoodSpace Murals.

Community Internships in Latin America (Ecuador)—Fall or Spring
In 2008, Ecuadorians voted in a referendum to adopt a new constitution. Progressives were thrilled by the document,
and the accompanying promises of then-President Correa. This enthusiasm has waned, and HECUA’s Community
Internships in Latin America (CILA) program examines why. CILA students analyze the ideals embodied in the
Constitution of 2008 and the challenges the country has faced applying those ambitious goals. A year after an election
that saw a change in leader but not party, students will pay particular attention to the changes proposed by current
President Lenin Moreno. Based in Quito, the CILA program weaves together a project-based internship, coursework
focused on the promise and perils of development, and field visits ranging from the Pacific coast to the Amazon river
basin. When not in the field, students live with a host family in Quito, Ecuador’s historic capital city. During the third
week of class students begin internships at a diverse range of community organizations. Past sites include: an organic
farm (Granja Integral Pachamama), a media hub (El Churo Comunicación), and a women’s safe house (Casa Matilde).
Students end the semester with significantly improved Spanish, a deep understanding of models of community
participation with a focus on indigenous perspectives, and a firsthand view of the political landscape in Ecuador and the
region.
Environmental Sustainability: Ecology, Policy, and Social Transformation—Fall
Environmental Sustainability students learn how and why environmental burdens are inequitably distributed and
explore the work of communities organizing for radical, lasting change. At the heart of the program lies a fundamental
question: “How can we restore ecosystems, environmental health, and good quality of life for all?” Throughout the
semester students consider the concepts of “earth care,” “people care,” and care of the future. Coursework is
interdisciplinary and includes field research, a project-based internship, conversations with innovators in the field of
sustainability, and a substantial partnership with a permaculture farm in Wisconsin. Students may choose to receive a
permaculture design certificate by completing an additional project. The program explores structural inequalities in the
Minneapolis/St. Paul area and beyond, examining patterns of privilege, power, and oppression. Students take part in
environmental justice organizing, ecosystems restoration, urban and rural sustainability initiatives, and complete an
intensive internship. Past internship sites include Breaking Bread Cafe, MN350, the Center for Earth, Energy and
Democracy, and Lily Springs Farm. Students leave prepared for leadership at the intersection of environmental and
climate justice.
Inequality in America: Policy, Community, and the Politics of Empowerment—Fall or Spring
In America today, the top 1% earn nearly 25% of the nation’s income. Wealth and income gaps have reached levels not
seen since the Great Depression, and are amplified by race. The median household wealth for a white family is
$144,000; for Latinxs it is $13,700, and for African Americans, $11,200. Inequality in America delves into the complex
causes and impacts of the gap between the rich and poor in the United States. Students examine the social systems that
feed increases in poverty and inequality and study the roles racism, classism, trans- and homophobia, and sexism play in
the creation of short-sighted and damaging public policy. In a concurrent internship with a local nonprofit, students test
and expand their change-making skills. Past internship sites have included African Career Education Resource Inc.
(ACER), Minnesota Coalition for the Homeless, Centro de Trabajadores Unidos en la Lucha (CTUL), and Take Action MN,
among many others. Students meet local organizers, build professional networks, and spend 150 hours on site, working
for organizations dedicated to social transformation. Everyone leaves the classroom with increased confidence in their
own abilities to effect change, as well as deep understanding of the local nonprofit landscape.
Sustainable Agriculture, Food, and Justice in Italy––Fall
In much of the world, industrial food systems provide plentiful and relatively cheap food, a convenience that comes with
steep environmental and social costs. HECUA’s exploration of culinary culture and food production in Italy offers an
alternative, taking students behind the scenes at Castello Sonnino, a family-owned historic estate with a sustainable
farm and vineyard. Students see how Italian and European agricultural policy, business practices, and financial structures
affect workers and their communities. Students live and study at Castello Sonnino, roughly 45 minutes outside of
Florence, in Tuscany. They observe how Tuscans define sustainability and are working toward it. Students gain direct
experience of food systems, rural Italian culture, and policy through an internship on the Castello Sonnino estate, at a
nearby farm, in the adjacent town of Montespertoli, or in Florence. Students receive a food stipend and prepare their
own meals in apartments on the Sonnino grounds, surrounded by more than 300 acres of olive groves, vineyards, and
47
working farmland. In addition to the immersive coursework and concurrent internship, students complete a guided
individual study project. Italian language instruction each week can accommodate all levels of proficiency.
New Zealand Culture and the Environment: A Shared Future—Fall or Spring
New Zealand has long been at the forefront of innovative social, cultural, and environmental practices. In this program,
students get to know the people, places, and ideas that have driven environmental reforms as well as truth and
reconciliation processes between the government and indigenous Māori peoples. Although challenges abound, students
learn—across disciplines—about positive responses. Students spend their first month traveling by van to key biodiversity
and cultural sites on New Zealand’s North Island, hearing from local leaders, observing, learning, and discussing as a
group. The depth and relevance of the Māori worldview is a core focus. The following two months in Wellington are
devoted to independent study, class meetings, coursework, and internships. Students live with homestay hosts, work on
an independent study project, attend classes, and complete a significant internship. Internship placements in past years
have ranged from the city council’s acclaimed ‘straw-free waterfront’ campaign to Zealandia Urban Ecosanctuary. Links
between environment, culture, policy, and community are at the heart of all field study and internship opportunities.
Northern Ireland: Democracy and Social Change—Fall or Spring
Northern Ireland has grappled for centuries with an ongoing identity-based conflict that divides neighbors, communities,
and the country itself. This history is physically present in the form of imposing walls (some 400 years old, others much
more recent), and a border that has divided the island of Ireland for 100 years. Deeply segregated communities are
byproducts of the trauma caused by years of violence. The conflict and its legacy ripples out into the language,
governance, and everyday life of Northern Irish citizens. Throughout this International Conflict Research Instituteaffiliated semester-long program students wrestle with challenging questions: What does it mean to be a
victim/survivor? A perpetrator? How can we heal after hurt? How do we reckon with the full weight of the past?
Students critically examine the work of justice, reconciliation, and repair. Students live, work, and learn in the city of
Derry-Londonderry. There and in Belfast, Dublin, and border areas, students meet with community members directly
impacted by violence, who now work to share stories and foster healing dialogue. Individual internships allow students
to be actively involved in the ongoing work of peacebuilding and community development. Past internship sites include
Children in Crossfire, The Rainbow Project, and The Playhouse Theatre.
Race in America: Then and Now —Summer
How are ordinary people moved to extraordinary action? The Black Freedom Movement (also known as the Civil Rights
Movement) of the 1950s and 60s, and more recent movements such as Black Lives Matter offer fertile ground for
exploration of this question. Students examine multiple movements for racial and economic justice as they journey into
the painful history of white supremacy in the United States. A significant portion of the program focuses on the history
of the Black Freedom Movement. Students hear first-person accounts from movement leaders integral to organizing
campaigns in Mississippi and other parts of the South. Field visits to sites such as Mississippi’s new Civil Rights Museum,
the Equal Justice Initiative in Alabama, Whitney Plantation in Louisiana and the National Civil Rights Museum in
Tennessee deepen historical knowledge and offer models for activism and engagement. Students are introduced to a
new generation of leaders building upon this legacy, and their work around education, criminal justice reform, voting
rights, environmental justice, and grassroots cooperative economics. Students leave the program with a profound
understanding of past and current movements for justice, new lenses with which to examine issues of power and
privilege, and a deepened understanding of their own capacity to make change.
Norway: Globalization, National Identity and the Politics of Belonging—Fall
Prosperous and egalitarian, Norway is known for its highly developed welfare state, oil and gas wealth, and global
leadership on human rights. Like its European neighbors, however, the Norwegian state is struggling to adapt to a
changing population. This program focuses on the myriad effects of mass immigration, and examines outreach to new
Norwegians who have come to the country as work migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees. Students meet with local
researchers, community organizers, and government officials shaping policy and effecting change with regard to
integration and inclusion. Coursework focuses on national and religious identity, gender equality, and political culture in
the context of the increasingly diverse Norwegian welfare state. Students observe these issues at play in their volunteer
work at service organizations, NGOs, and political groups. In the vibrant capital city of Oslo, students explore issues of
48
immigration, identity, and belonging. There are numerous field excursions in and around the city center, and students
travel to another Scandinavian capital on a multi-day comparative field visit.
Making Media, Making Change: Digital Technologies, Storytelling, and Action––Fall and Spring
Narrative is the lens through which we see the world and a tool we can use to shape it. Students spend the semester
exploring the ways in which media and film can either reinforce dominant stories or disrupt them, amplifying different
perspectives and possibilities. As an active learning community, they ask: What stories are we seeing, and why? How can
film play a role in organizing for change? By the end of the semester, all students will have the skills needed to produce
films that inform, inspire, and activate. Making Media, Making Change is taught in collaboration with the St. Paul
Neighborhood Network (SPNN), a community media center that puts cameras into the hands of historically marginalized
producers. Students of all experience levels have the opportunity to hone their artistic and creative voice by producing
three original films, including a final work created in collaboration with a local nonprofit. In addition to hands-on
training, students meet artists, community leaders, and activists committed to creating media that matters. Student
work is situated in the context of a growing movement to make media accessible, relevant, and reflective of diverse
voices.
Augsburg Affiliate Programs
The Center for Global Education & Experience maintains a robust portfolio of affiliated programs to enhance the offcampus offerings available to Augsburg students. These programs allow Augsburg students to study disciplines and
locations that lie beyond CGEE’s signature, exchange and short-term faculty-led programs. A limited number of spaces
are available on these programs. Therefore, we ask students to also choose an alternate program from the Augsburg
CGEE and Exchange program portfolio.
Application Process
In order to Study Abroad or Away in the USA students should follow these easy steps:
Attend an information session (in person or online)
Research programs online
Discuss with others - talk to faculty and staff advisors about how courses fit into your major or general
requirements. Talk with family members and other staff on campus you work with (such as CLASS or TRiO advisors)
Apply by the deadline
Application Deadlines
October 1 - Spring semester and winter-break faculty-led programs
November 1 - Spring-break faculty-led programs
February 1 - Summer Session faculty-led programs
March 1 - Fall semester and other summer programs
Affiliate program deadlines vary; students need to meet all deadlines and eligibility requirements set by their programs.
Academic Requirements and Credit
Students automatically fulfill the Augsburg Experience requirement when they participate in approved study abroad and
study away in the USA. Courses taken off-campus can also fulfill graduation requirements including major, minor,
language, Liberal Arts Foundation, Recreational Wellness, Honors, and internship requirements. The application process
includes a required Course Equivalency Form, where students list the courses they want to take on their program and
obtain approvals by faculty advisor(s), a Registrar’s Office representative, department chairs or other assigned faculty to
meet the course equivalencies.
Credits, Grades and Residency
Students must take a full load of credits during an off-campus program.
Students must take courses with traditional A-F grading (P/NP is not permitted).
49
Grades received on affiliate and most exchange programs are reported as transfer credit on the transcript, and thus
are not factored into the GPA.
A grade of “C-” equivalent or higher must be received for the credit to transfer to Augsburg.
Courses taken on off-campus programs during the senior year meet the Augsburg residency requirement since
students remain enrolled at Augsburg while on their programs.
Eligibility
Following are Augsburg University’s requirements for Study Abroad and Away in the USA:
Minimum 2.00 GPA at the time of application. Individual programs/courses may require a higher GPA.
Sophomore, junior, or senior standing by the time of the program. Short-term, faculty-led programs will allow
participation as a first-year if the student receives approval from the faculty-leader and if space allows.
Transfer students must complete one semester at Augsburg before they may study off campus.
Students must be in good academic and social standing. Students placed on academic or disciplinary probation after
admittance to an off-campus study program may be withdrawn from the program. The student is responsible for all
non-recoverable program costs incurred.
Any outstanding balances on student accounts must be resolved before students will be allowed to study off
campus.
Note: Students applying to short-term faculty-led programs who meet the above criteria are accepted to these programs
on a first come, first served basis. Space is limited, so early application is recommended.
Costs and Financial Aid
The cost of semester off-campus study includes program fees that generally cover tuition, housing, international health
insurance, some meals, excursions, and off campus study fees. Airfare, personal expenses, books, and other expenses
are not included in the price of semester programs. Program costs vary; Augsburg University pays the program on the
student’s behalf and then bills the Augsburg student account. This allows students to apply their financial aid to their
off-campus study program. Students on semester programs will always pay a minimum of Augsburg tuition plus living
and travel expenses when studying abroad.
Students who receive financial aid, loans, scholarships, and/or grants to study at Augsburg can use that entire package
to cover their off-campus study program costs. Students receiving Augsburg institutionally-funded aid (e.g., President’s,
Regents’, Legacy, Promise, and other Augsburg gift aid/scholarships, and tuition benefit) may use their scholarships to
study off campus multiple times on Augsburg programs. However, institutionally-funded aid may be used only once
toward off-campus costs on an affiliate program. Cost estimates for the time abroad are provided to assist the students
in planning and the financial aid office in awarding aid to students studying abroad. Additional scholarships are available
for semester and academic year programs.
The cost of short-term faculty-led programs is typically comprised of tuition (no additional tuition is charged for full-time
undergraduate day students on winter and spring-break programs), meals, airfare, ground transportation, and
interpretation/translation services. These costs are on top of any semester/year tuition charges. Some scholarships are
available, but are limited for short-term programs. Students may use loans to fund the additional cost of these
programs.
Students should attend the required information session and read the advising handbook for any updates to
scholarships and financial aid policies.
Students are required to notify CGEE immediately if they choose not to continue with their off-campus study experience.
When we receive notification, non-recoverable costs and a cancellation fee will be assessed and charged to the student
account. Depending on the time of notification of withdrawal, students may owe only the cancellation fee; or they may
owe the off-campus study fee, the deposit, or a percentage or all of the program fee. Students are also subject to the
cancellation and refund policies of CGEE and their program provider.

Scholarships
The Center for Global Education & Experience offers a range of scholarships and financial aid to students with
demonstrated financial need and whose participation in a semester or summer academic program contributes to a
community of co-learners that values a variety of cultures and backgrounds.
CGEE Global Education Scholarship. Augsburg students automatically receive a $1500 CGEE Travel Grant on our
Semester programs at our sites in Central America, Mexico and Namibia/Southern Africa. This scholarship is also
available to students who participate on our semester exchange programs in designated countries (China, Finland.
Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Lebanon, and Norway)
The Diversity Scholarship is for students who have not traditionally been represented in study abroad, specifically
students of color, students with disabilities, and LGBT students. Awards cover up to $6,000 off the cost of a
semester program abroad.
The Need-Based Scholarship is available for students with demonstrated financial need. Awards cover up to $2,000
of the cost of a semester program abroad.
Augsburg students receive a $1,500 CGEE Travel Grant on their first semester program (the Returnee Scholarship
will apply for the second program).
Returnee Scholarship: Automatic discount of 10% off a second semester program for students who combine two
semester programs during their college career. There are no forms to submit for this discount.
Summer Discount: Students who participate in a full semester program in Mexico will receive a 10% discount off a
summer session (before or after the semester program).
Global Affiliate Scholarships are also available. These scholarships generally ranging from $500-$5000 are provided
directly through our affiliate partner programs.
Accessibility
CGEE and the Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) work closely with students with disabilities to
assist them in ensuring that reasonable accommodations are made while studying off-campus. Nevertheless, students
are responsible for requesting accommodations within a reasonable time frame prior to departure, ideally as early as
program selection.
In addition, students should be prepared for the fact that disability may be culturally defined. Attitudes toward disability
and levels of accessibility can vary greatly from country to country. The Americans with Disabilities Act mandates equal
access to university-sponsored programs and services to students with disabilities. However, providing access by US
standards can present unique challenges in international settings. The expectation on the part of US students and
institutions is that reasonable accommodations will be made. Depending on the country and culture, there may be
different ways to define accessibility and different expectations in terms of accommodations that can or should be
made.
Continuing Education Program
The mission of Augsburg University continuing education program is to provide working adults with lifelong learning
opportunities that will enable them to continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually in their homes,
workplaces, and communities. The program strives to meet the needs of the community by offering credit and noncredit
programs consistent with the mission of Augsburg University.
Programs are developed through collaborations between academic and administrative departments of the university
and community organizations. These collaborations have included the Departments of Business, Biology, Education,
Nursing, Religion, Social Work, the Center for Leadership Studies, Institutional Advancement, and organizations including
Minneapolis and St. Paul public school districts, Minnesota Department of Education, and the Midwest Regional Office
of the College Board. Augsburg University is a Lifelong Learning Partner with the ELCA.
51
Honors Program
The Augsburg Honors Program offers an adventurous education where students with a passion for ideas can be their
best. We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education.
Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike any other honors program in the nation because it gives students the resources
and freedom to build their own ideal higher education. Students have the opportunity to create their own courses, edit
and write for the Honors Review of Undergraduate Scholarship, belong to an Honors House, and learn through small
reading groups, research projects, and travel around the world.
Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students, and includes a challenging “signature experience”
such as writing a play, putting great books on trial, or attending music, theater, and art performances. Honors courses
bring in professors from several different departments so students can learn from talented professors teaching their
specialties.
For information, contact the Honors Desk at honors@augsburg.edu (612-330-1560) or Stacy Freiheit, Honors Program
interim director, at freiheit@augsburg.edu.
Also see the Honors Program in the departmental pages of this catalog.
Inter-Institutional Programs
Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities area on several programs.
Cooperating Libraries in Consortium (CLIC)
Through CLIC, the Twin Cities private college’s library consortium, the Augsburg community has direct access to more
than 2.5 million volumes and media resources of the 14 libraries.
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC)
Full-time Day students at Augsburg University, Hamline University, Macalester College, St. Catherine University, and the
University of St. Thomas may elect to take one course each semester (fall and spring) at one of the other campuses. No
additional fee is required for such an exchange, except for private instruction in music or approved independent studies.
Exchange courses are not transfer courses, and thus courses taken through ACTC are considered Augsburg University
courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses for which an Augsburg student
has cross-registered is kept in the Registrar’s Office at Augsburg University, not at the host ACTC institution. Students
may elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain new perspectives, to get better acquainted with the other
schools, or to undertake a specific course or major not offered on the home campus.
AU/Rochester programs are not part of the ACTC consortium, and students in those programs may not register for ACTC
courses or complete ACTC majors under the terms of the ACTC consortium agreements.
Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA)
Augsburg, in cooperation with 17 other colleges and universities, offers off-campus study semesters in Ecuador, New
Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, and the Twin Cities. (See HECUA programs in the International Programs and Urban
Studies sections of the departmental pages of this catalog.)
Air Force ROTC
AFROTC is a nationwide program that allows students to pursue commissions (become officers) in the United States Air
Force (USAF) while simultaneously attending college. AFROTC classes are held on college campuses throughout the
United States and Puerto Rico; students can register through normal course registration processes. AFROTC consists of
four years of Aerospace Studies classes (Foundations of the USAF, Evolution of USAF and Space Power, Air Force
Leadership Studies, and National Security Affairs/Preparation for Active Duty), and a corresponding Leadership
Laboratory for each year (where students apply leadership skills, demonstrate command and effective communication,
52
develop physical fitness, and practice military customs and courtesies). College students enrolled in the
AFROTC program (known as “cadets”) who successfully complete both AFROTC training and college degree
requirements will graduate and simultaneously commission as Second Lieutenants in the Active Duty Air Force.
The AFROTC program is currently offered at University of St. Thomas, which has a crosstown agreement that allows
Augsburg students to enroll in AFROTC and become full-fledged cadet participants. For more information
on AFROTC course descriptions, please review http://www.stthomas.edu/catalog/current/aero/ . For more information
on the AFROTC program, please review http://www.stthomas.edu/afrotc/ or contact the Department of Aerospace
Studies at the University of St. Thomas at (651) 962-6320.
Army ROTC
Augsburg Day students may participate in the Army ROTC program at the University of Minnesota under an agreement
between Augsburg, the University of Minnesota, and the program. ROTC credits serve as electives at Augsburg. For more
information, contact the University of Minnesota: Twin Cities at www.goarmy.com/rotc/schools/university-ofminnesota.
53
Academic Policies and Procedures
Registration
Students must be officially registered for all courses for which they are participating. All registered courses will be
reflected on a student’s AugNet Records and Registration page. Web registration through AugNet is the primary method
of registration, although registration can be processed through the Registrar’s Office with a Registration Form in
instances where online registration is not possible. Students are responsible for verifying the accuracy of their
registrations.
Students are required to meet with their faculty advisor prior to registration for the fall, spring, and summer terms. As
some courses are offered only in alternate years, students should also consult with departmental advisors when
planning their academic program.
Students with registration holds will be ineligible to register until the hold is cleared. The registration hold will appear as
an alert on the student’s Records & Registration Welcome page. It will also be listed in an email that the student will
receive several weeks before registration opens. Registration holds can be placed for a variety of reasons by a number of
offices. Some examples of reasons are unsatisfied academic requirements, unpaid student balances, missing
immunization forms, unmet financial aid requirements, and overdue library books.
Another possible reason for a registration hold is an overdue missing official transcript from another institution.
Typically, the "Transcript Not Received" hold is a result of an official transcript on file showing in-progress coursework.
Such transcripts need to be replaced with an official, final transcript in order to verify that the in-progress courses were
dropped, withdrawn from, and/or graded. Upon receipt, the updated, official transcript will be evaluated for possible
credit.
Specific registration dates and deadlines for each semester are listed in the Academic Calendar.
Students who are missing prerequisites for a course may be eligible for a prerequisite waiver if, after discussion with the
course instructor, the instructor determines that the prerequisite learning objectives have been met. Students who
believe they have already completed the prerequisite in question should contact the Registrar’s Office at 612-330-1036
or registrar@augsburg.edu.
The following registrations cannot be completed online and must be processed with a Registration Form:
THP courses (Theater practicum courses)
100-level MUP courses (Variable-credit music lessons)
Independent Study and Directed Study (Independent Study form available on the Registrar’s Office webpage)
Internships (Internship Registration form available on the Registrar’s Office webpage)
ACTC courses (Course listings are available online through each ACTC institution and should be checked to verify the
correct meeting times and room assignment.)
Credit Loads
Full-time day students normally register for 16 credits each semester. Students in the AU/Rochester programs typically
register for 4-8 credits each semester. Students registered for 12 or more credits in a semester are classified as full-time
students. Students registered for at least 6 credits are classified as half-time students.
To register for more than 19 semester credits, students must petition the Student Standing Committee unless the
following apply: Students with a cumulative GPA at Augsburg of 3.00 or greater may take a total of 20 semester credits
without petitioning; students with a cumulative GPA at Augsburg of 3.50 or greater may take a total of 22 semester
credits without petitioning. All overload registrations must be done through a Registration Form. (Note: For students in
the Day program there is an additional tuition charge for course loads over 19 semester credits. This includes combining
the credit load from both the DAY and AU programs. Auditing classes over the 19 semester credit limit will also incur a
tuition charge.)
54
Non-Attendance/Non-Participation Policy
Attendance/participation in class is important for academic success and financial aid. Therefore, students are dropped
for non-attendance/non-participation after the 10th business day of the term if reported by the instructor and billed a
Failure to Withdraw Fee of up to $300. Students are ultimately responsible for dropping classes if they no longer plan to
attend/participate. Students who have been dropped and wish to re-enroll must submit an Academic/Financial Petition.
Internship Registration
A complete step-by-step guide is available on the Strommen Center website under the Internships & Augsburg
Experience section. International students completing an internship will follow steps outlined on the Strommen Center
website under the International Student Internship Registration section.
Registration of internships for credit consists of the following steps:
Students must register the internship for the academic term that coincides with the internship experience.
Students fill out the online Site Agreement Form on the Strommen Center website under the Internships &
Augsburg Experience section.
Obtain the Internship Registration form (paper form) from the Strommen Center website under the Internships
& Augsburg Experience section and obtain the required signatures.
o Faculty Signature: Requires finding a faculty member willing to supervise and approve the internship
based on major discipline requirements.
o Department Chair Signature: Requires approval that the proposed internship experience meets the
major discipline requirements.
o Strommen Center Signature: Requires staff to review important university-wide internship information
and ensure all required documents have been submitted.
Once the completed internship registration form is submitted to the Enrollment Center, additional requirements to
receive credit for an internship include:
Watch a short video about successful internships on the Strommen Center website under the Internship
Registration Guide section.
Complete the Learning Goals Form on the Strommen Center website under the Internships & Augsburg
Experience Requirements section. Copies of the completed form are emailed to the student, their faculty
supervisor, and the Strommen Center.
Academic assignments (journals, reflection papers, projects, etc.) as determined by the faculty supervisor and/or
department guidelines.
Final evaluations are sent at the end of the semester. The student and the site supervisor will each complete an
evaluation of the student’s internship experience. Results are emailed to the student and the faculty supervisor.
Dropping or Withdrawing
Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or with a Registration Form. For
drop and withdrawal deadlines see the Academic Calendar.
Crossover Registration
Undergraduate students are enrolled in a home program (DAY, AU, ROCH) and may register online for fall and spring
semester courses outside of their home program based on course availability and subject to the restrictions listed
below. Students have registration priority in their home program. Students are charged the tuition rate of their home
program for crossover courses.
DAY Program Students
- Juniors and Seniors (based on earned credits) are permitted to crossover into AU courses without special permission.
- Pay the overload fee for any credits over 19 in their combined DAY/AU load each semester.
55
AU Program Students
- Are permitted to crossover into DAY courses.
ROCH Program Students
- Are permitted to register for AU courses as soon as their registration windows open and do not have to wait until
Crossover Registration begins.
Graduate Courses
Students must have completed an undergraduate degree and be admitted to a graduate program before taking
graduate level courses from that program. Exceptions are made for approved courses in the Department of Nursing, the
joint BA Accounting/MAL program, the Master of Business Administration, and the Master of Fine Arts in Creative
Writing. Undergraduate students enrolled in graduate courses will pay their standard undergraduate rate for those
courses. Any student enrolled in an Augsburg graduate level program wishing to take an undergraduate course will pay
their program's graduate rate for those courses.
Evaluation and Grading
Evaluation of academic performance is based on letter grades using an A ‐ F scale.
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 an A - F scale or the Pass/No Pass grading system.

Students may apply no more than eight semester credits with P grades toward a major and no more than four
semester credits with a P grade toward a minor unless otherwise specified by an academic department.
Departments with major or minor programs that allow a different number of P-graded credits have defined those
limitations along with their major and minor requirements in the catalog.
Certain courses have restrictions and are offered on one grading system only (e.g., lifetime wellness courses are graded
only P/N). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate they
wish to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading option must be made according to deadlines
published in the Academic Calendar each semester.
Incomplete (I) Grades
Incomplete grades (I) are to be given only in the case of extreme emergency (e.g. illness, family emergency, death in the
family, military commitment). If you have any questions regarding the qualifying emergency, please contact the
Registrar’s Office for verification.
An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student
emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of
passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements.
To receive an incomplete grade, a student must submit a completed Application for Incomplete Grade form to the
Registrar's Office by the grading deadline for the semester. This form states the reasons for the request, outlines the
work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the
terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion
of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in
enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade by the grading deadline of the
following academic semester. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic semester, the
grade for the course becomes F.
Extension (X) Grades
Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one semester. When this is the
case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the semester of
registration. A grade of X (extension) 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 instructor and demonstrate that satisfactory
progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the semester in which the work is completed and
evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory
progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of F will be assigned.
Withdrawal (W) Grade
A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a W grade
and before the last day to withdraw. Withdrawals negatively impact credit completion rate but do not negatively impact
the grade point average.
Repeated Courses
A course in which a grade of F, FN, D-, D, D+, C-, 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 (exceptions are made
for academic programs with minimum grade requirements of a C+ or higher or other catalog policies that require a
course to be retaken). All courses taken each semester and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the
academic record. Only the credits and grades earned for the most recent attempt, for legitimately repeated courses, are
counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. Courses completed at Augsburg University must be repeated
at Augsburg to be included in the repeat policy.
57
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V) on a space-available
basis. Full-time Day students will be charged an audit fee if their total credit load is over 19 credits. The charge to audit a
course is $1,000 for part-time DAY/AU/ROCH students. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit.
Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to
determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be
listed on the transcript with a V grade. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W.
Audited courses do not count toward graduation and do not fulfill general education requirements.
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade
points for work transferred from other institutions.
The formula for calculating the GPA is as follows:
GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted with A to F grades assigned.
The following grading symbols are not included in the GPA calculation:
Symbol Explanation
Fall 2017 to Present: Pass, C- or higher undergraduate or B or higher graduate work;

Assessment of Student Learning
The faculty at Augsburg University is actively engaged in research about student learning and the efficacy of the
curriculum. To support such assessment of student learning activities, faculty may collect student work for evaluation
beyond grading. Any information or student work collected will be treated confidentially; the student's identity will not
be public information. Students who do not want their work collected for assessment purposes can opt out by
contacting Office of Academic Affairs.
Classification
Students are classified when grades are posted at the end of each semester. Classification is based on the number of
semester credits completed/earned.
Classification
First Year

Academic Status Changes
Change of Program
Students may apply to change their “home program” by completing a Change of Program form. Applications are
reviewed by a committee. If approved, the change will take effect for the following semester. Changes are limited to
once each academic year. A Change of Program form must be submitted before the semester begins.
Withdrawal from University
Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this will result in failing grades on
their official academic record. If necessary, students should instead submit a Withdrawal from University form. The
deadline to file a Withdrawal from University is the last Friday prior to finals week. Withdrawal from University and any
consequential adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the Withdrawal from University form is submitted to
the Registrar’s Office. Students must be submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll.
Students are responsible for keeping the Registrar’s Office informed of their current mailing address while away.
Leave of Absence (DAY Program Students)
Students in the Day Program may apply for a Leave of Absence for one semester. The Leave of Absence allows continued
access to Augsburg email and AugNet Services. If a student on a Leave of Absence does not register for the subsequent
semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the student must submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll.
The deadline to file a Leave of Absence form is the Friday prior to the start of each semester.
Term Off (AU/ROCH Program Students)
Students in the AU/ROCH Programs may take up to two semesters off and have continued access to Augsburg email and
AugNet Services. If a student is not registered after the 10th business day of the third semester, the student’s file will be
deactivated and the student must submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll.
Military Called to Active Duty
Augsburg University will allow students to withdraw from courses without penalty if they are called to active duty. This
shall include a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees for dropped/withdrawn courses upon verification of call to active
duty. Students must submit an Academic/Financial Petition and provide a copy of their orders to the Registrar’s Office.
If the student is called to active duty after the deadline to drop a course, the Registrar’s Office will place a W for the
course(s) along with a notation on the transcript that the student was called to active duty. This is to assist the student
with any financial aid complications that may arise and also indicate that the withdrawal was outside of the student’s
control.
Alternatively, the university supports faculty in enabling students who are called to active duty and have substantially
completed a course, to assign a grade based upon the coursework completed, or to work out an incomplete agreement.
Students who are able to complete some of their courses would have their refunds adjusted to reflect this.
Students who are being placed on active duty should contact the Registrar’s Office so the university can notify all parties
and aid in this process.
Student Standing Committee
The Student Standing Committee is a standing committee of the university that reviews requests for exceptions to
academic and financial policy. Representatives from the faculty, Academic Advising, Registrar’s Office, Student Financial
Services, and Student Affairs serve on the committee.
59
Academic / Financial Petitions
Students who wish to request exceptions to academic and financial policies should carefully review and complete the
Academic/Financial Petition. Petitions must be submitted within 6 months from the end of the semester being
petitioned. The Committee typically meets to review petitions and Applications for Readmission every other week
during fall and spring semesters and once each month during the summer semester.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Suspension Appeals
Students who have been academically suspended have the right to appeal their suspension to the Student Standing
Committee.
Applications for Readmission
Students seeking to re-apply to the university after being placed on academic probation or academic suspension must
submit an Application for Readmission for review by the Student Standing Committee.
Catalog Applicability
Active Students (Registered, Leave of Absence, Term Off)
May elect to satisfy the general education and departmental requirements outlined in the catalog in effect during
their first semester of enrollment or any of the subsequent catalogs in effect while an active student.
Inactive Students (Withdrawn)
Three or Fewer Years Away
o Inactive students who are readmitted after three or fewer years away (nine semesters, including summers)
may elect to satisfy the general education and departmental requirements outlined in the catalog in effect
during their first semester of initial enrollment or any of the subsequent catalogs in effect while an active
student.
More than Three Years Away
o Inactive students who are readmitted after more than three years away (10 or more semesters, including
summers) must complete the general education and departmental requirements of the catalog in effect at
the time of re-enrollment or any of the subsequent catalogs in effect while an active student.
Second Majors and Degrees
Students with an existing baccalaureate degree from Augsburg or another institution may enroll to complete an
additional major(s) or minor(s). Students will not be awarded a second degree unless it is different from the original
degree awarded (BA, BM, BS). Students cannot earn multiple degrees for the same major, though it is possible to earn
multiple degrees from the same academic department if the majors are distinct. For example, a student cannot earn
both a BA in Computer Science and a BS in Computer Science, but may earn a BS in Computer Science and a BA in
Computational Philosophy.
Evaluation of Transfer Credit
The evaluation of transfer credits is completed by the Registrar’s Office and is based on a student’s official transcript(s).
Credit is granted for college-level coursework completed at regionally accredited institutions with a grade of C- or
better. Credit from non-regionally accredited institutions may be approved if there is a transfer agreement in place or by
petition.
Courses that may be developmental, professional, or occupational in nature are evaluated on a course-by-course basis in
collaboration with faculty from corresponding or similar departments. Augsburg does not grant transfer credit for
continuing education units (CEUs). Competency credits and exam credits issued by another institution will be evaluated
on an individual basis.
60
The Registrar’s Office evaluates coursework for credit and for applicability toward Augsburg's Core Curriculum
requirements. Academic departments are responsible for evaluating the applicability of coursework toward a student’s
major or minor. The university requires that certain courses and a minimum number of credits be taken at Augsburg.
(Refer to the Graduation section of the catalog.)
Transferred coursework with the Augsburg equivalents and evaluator comments are captured on the Transfer Credit
Evaluation found in Records and Registration. Credits accepted in transfer are reported on the student’s transcript.
Grades and grade points from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s
cumulative grade point average.
Students should consult with their academic and faculty advisors and the Registrar’s Office before taking courses at
other institutions to ensure compliance with transfer credit policy and residency requirements. Additional resources
about transferring credit are available on the Registrar’s Office website.
Definition of Official Transcript
Official transcripts are marked with institutional security features, date, and appropriate signature. Augsburg University
accepts official transcripts directly from another institution’s Office of the Registrar or a secure authenticated
designated party. The transcript must arrive at Augsburg University in an envelope sealed by the issuing institution or via
an encrypted electronic method (adapted from AACRAO, 2018).
Minnesota Transfer Curriculum
Completion of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements
and will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (RLN 100).
Associate of Arts Degree / Bachelor’s Degree
Completion of an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree or a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution will
satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements, reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course
(RLN 100), and will waive one of two Health and Wellness requirements.
Note: Additional prerequisite coursework beyond the AA degree or bachelor’s degree may be required in some
Augsburg majors. Students are advised to consult an academic advisor in the major department to discuss major
requirements.
Advanced Transfer Students
Students who enter Augsburg with 52 or more semester credits accepted in transfer are considered Advanced Transfer
Students. The Augsburg Core Curriculum will be adjusted for advanced transfer students as outlined below:
Waiver of Search for Meaning II
Waiver of Augsburg Seminar / Engaging Minneapolis
Waiver of one Health and Wellness requirement (depending on transfer evaluation)
All Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements not mentioned above remain unchanged for Advanced Transfer Students.
Waivers for Advanced Transfer are determined at the time of initial entry into Augsburg and will not be granted for
courses completed after initial enrollment.
Transfer Credit for Military Experience
Students are welcome to submit their military transcripts to the Registrar’s Office for transfer credit evaluation. A
military transcript will contain credit recommendations from the American Council on Education (ACE) for training and
courses completed in the US Armed Services. Augsburg will review a military transcript to determine if any of the credit
recommendations contained within it meet transfer credit guidelines.
Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy records are maintained on a Joint Services Transcript (JST).
61
Air Force records: Air University and Community College of the Air Force are regionally accredited institutions. Students
should submit official transcripts from these schools during the admission process.
Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program
Augsburg University recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may
be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that comprise the academic program of a liberal arts college.
The Assessment of Previous Learning program (APL) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student’s previous
learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for
possible credit toward the completion of a bachelor’s degree.
Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning
must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts
curriculum, and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation.
The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have previous learning assessed for credit
recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment:
International Baccalaureate Program (IB)
Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate program will be considered by the university for appropriate
credit. IB exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available on the
Registrar’s Office webpage.
Advanced Placement Program (AP)
Augsburg allows students to earn credit for scores of 3, 4, or 5 on selected Advanced Placement tests. For some exams, a
minimum score of 4 is required. AP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting
guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage.
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
This is a series of standardized tests developed by the College Board that are offered to students for a small fee at
regional testing centers. Students who score at or above the American Council on Education’s recommended score on
an approved examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg University. CLEP exams may fulfill
general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office
webpage.
DSST Exams
DSST Exams are a series of standardized tests in college subjects that are comparable to the final examinations in
undergraduate courses. Exams are offered at testing centers worldwide for a small fee. Students who score at or above
the American Council on Education’s recommended score on an approved examination may receive academic credit for
that subject at Augsburg University. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage.
Minnesota Bilingual and Multilingual Seals and World Languages Proficiency Certificates
Augsburg will award college credit to students with the Minnesota bilingual and multilingual language proficiency
certificates. These certificates are awarded to graduating Minnesota high school students who demonstrate the
required level of language proficiency on a language other than English. Steps to submit the seal to Augsburg are
outlined on the Registrar’s website.
The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages
These tests assess written and/or spoken proficiency in world languages. For a small fee, students can assess their level
of knowledge in world languages to earn college credit and/or waive the modern language requirement. More
information about eligibility and qualifying languages is available from Academic Advising.
62
Departmental Comprehensive Exams
These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met:
There is a departmental exam available for the subject area in question.
There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam.
The Registrar approves the student’s request to take the exam.
Credit for departmental exams is not computed in the GPA, and there is a charge per exam of $100 per semester
credit.
Portfolio Assessment Program
This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio
submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to
the student’s previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment
should consult the Registrar’s Office. In completing the evaluation of a student’s previous learning, the faculty team
applies the following criteria:
There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved
prescribed or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts coursework.
The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student.
The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
The learning relates well to the student’s educational goals.
The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time.
Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least one term of academic work at Augsburg
University with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.50. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used
when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is a non-refundable application deposit of $200 to initiate the
credit assessment process for each course presented in a portfolio. An additional $200 is charged upon approval of each
course. Credit granted by portfolio review is not computed in the GPA.
Transcript credit will be recorded with the equivalent Augsburg course numbers as determined by faculty reviewers.
Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning
While Augsburg University recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this
learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg allows
a maximum of 32 credits (one-fourth of a bachelor’s degree) to be obtained through previous experiential learning. In
compiling the 32 credits for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the assessment
processes available in the APL Program: AP, CLEP, IB, DSST, ACTFL, departmental comprehensive exams, and credit
granted through portfolio assessment.
Graduation
Requirements
Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a major, the Augsburg Core Curriculum, a
minimum GPA in major(s)/minor(s) and in total coursework, and residence.
1. Completion of 128 semester credits—No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 128 total semester
credits required:
o Eight semester credits by independent/directed study
o 16 semester credits of internship
o 24 semester credits with a grade of Pass (P)
o Students may apply no more than eight semester credits with P grades toward a major and no more than four
semester credits with a P grade toward a minor unless otherwise specified by an academic department.
63

5.
Departments with major or minor programs that allow a different number of P-graded credits have defined
those limitations along with their major and minor requirements in the catalog.
Completion of a Major—Requirements for each major are listed under the departmental headings.
Completion of the Augsburg Core Curriculum—Requirements for the Augsburg Core Curriculum are listed under the
Augsburg Curriculum section.
Grade Point Average —Students must earn a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00. Additionally, all
majors and minors require at least a 2.00 grade point average in coursework for the major or minor. Some academic
programs require a higher grade point average or a specific minimum grade in each course. See the departmental
section for details about the grade and grade point average for individual majors and minors.
Residence Requirement — A minimum of 32 semester credits must be completed at Augsburg or within the ACTC
exchange program or study abroad/away through the Augsburg Center for Global Education and Experience.
Senior Residence Requirement
No fewer than 24 of the last 32 semester credits must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved
exchange program.
Transfer courses count against the senior residence requirement. Therefore, students are encouraged to
complete transfer work prior to the final 32 credits for the degree.
Assessment of Prior Learning (APL) credits -- including AP, CLEP, IB, DSST, ACTFL, departmental
comprehensive exams, and credit granted through portfolio assessment -- are not counted against the
senior residence requirement.
Some departments have a minimum number of credits that are required in residence within the major or minor.
Consult the departmental pages of this catalog for further information.
The responsibility for ensuring that all degree requirements are satisfied rests with the student. Each student is required
to file an Intent to Graduate application within the last 12 months of their program to confirm remaining graduation
requirements. Application forms are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. Faculty advisors, the Academic
Advising staff, department chairs, and the Registrar’s Office are available for counsel and assistance in program
planning.
Students who enter an academic program with a bachelor’s or higher degree should contact the Registrar’s Office about
specific requirements for a second bachelor’s degree or for the equivalent of a major.
All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the Registrar’s Office in order for the degree to
be conferred. There may be no incompletes or open courses on the academic record.
Latin Honors
Augsburg recognizes those students who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement by conferring Latin
honors upon completion of a bachelor’s degree.
Students may also receive honors recognition for departmental honors and for participation in the Honors Program. (See
individual department and program descriptions for details.)
Qualification for Latin honors is determined as follows:
Summa Cum Laude
Magna Cum Laude
Cum Laude
3.90-4.00 GPA
3.80-3.89 GPA
3.60-3.79 GPA
To be eligible, a student must complete a minimum of 56 traditionally-graded credits at Augsburg.
Visit the Registrar’s Office webpage for additional information.
Commencement
Though the terms are often confused, the words “graduation” and “commencement” carry different meanings.
Graduation refers to the completion of all degree requirements. Students graduate when all requirements for the
64
degree have been fulfilled, meaning that one can graduate at any point during the academic year provided that all
requirements are complete.
Commencement is a ceremony. It is an opportunity for students, family, friends, and the Augsburg University community
to celebrate academic achievement. Participation in commencement, however, does not mean that a student has
graduated. A student will not graduate and a degree will not be conferred until all requirements are met, regardless of
participation in commencement.
Augsburg University holds one commencement ceremony in the spring for all students – undergraduate and graduate.
Undergraduate students who have not completed all degree requirements may participate in commencement if: (1) no
more than three requirements will remain in their program at the conclusion of spring semester; and (2) the remaining
requirements will be completed in the summer or fall semesters immediately following commencement.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
Federal regulations require that all higher education institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether
students are making satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of a degree. Failure to meet the following
standards could result in suspension from the university.
Requirements
At the end of each fall, spring, and summer semester, the university will review the academic progress of all
undergraduate students registered for that semester.
In order to remain in good academic and financial aid standing, you are (1) required to maintain an overall Augsburg
GPA of 2.00 and complete at least 66.67% of the credits you have attempted (i.e. registered for) or (2) required to
complete and follow a SAP plan (if you are on probation). SAP assistance, plan requirements, and deadlines can be found
here: https://www.augsburg.edu/advising/majors/probation-advising/.
GPA Calculation
Refer to the Evaluation and Grading section of this catalog.
Minimum Credits Completed
Students must earn a cumulative 66.67% of the credits attempted based on the entire academic record. A completed
credit is any credit with a grade of A-D- or P. Credits earned and completed will include accepted transfer credits as
defined by the Registrar’s Office.
Grades of “W (Withdrawn)”, “I (Incomplete)”, “X (Extension)”, “F”, “FN (Failed for Non-Attendance)”, and “N (Not
Passing)” are counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. The credits associated with grades that have not been
submitted when SAP is run will count against completion rate.
Repeat Courses and remedial courses are not counted towards the cumulative attempted credits.
Credit Completion Rate Calculation
Attempted credits: Includes transferred credits and unsatisfactory grades (W, X, I, F, FN, N, IP).
o Remedial and repeated courses do not count as attempted credits, so should be subtracted from the total
number of attempted credits.
Earned credits: Transferred credits and satisfactory Augsburg grades (A - D-, P).
Divide earned credits by attempted credits (do not round numbers up or down)
o Example: 19 earned credits / 27 attempted credits = .7037 or 70.37%
o Example: 17 earned credits / 27 attempted credits = .6296 or 62.96%
65
Monitoring and Evaluating Progress
In order to ensure SAP standards are being met, the Registrar’s Office will evaluate and monitor students' academic
achievement at the end of each term. If a student’s record is evaluated and determined to be unsatisfactory, the student
will be placed on Probation or Suspension. Students will be notified through their Augsburg email if they fail to meet SAP
standards and appropriate notation will be placed on the permanent transcript.
Probation
Students who do not meet cumulative standards (cumulative GPA or cumulative credit completion rate) will be placed
on Probation. Notation of “Academic Probation” for the semester will be placed on the permanent transcript. Students
are required to complete and follow a SAP plan of assistance (www.augsburg.edu/acskills).
Students on Probation will have their registration limited to 16 credits. Students may appeal this restriction through a
petition to the Student Standing Committee.
At the end of the next semester attempted, students meeting cumulative standards (both cumulative GPA and
cumulative completion rate) will be removed from Probation.
If cumulative standards are not met, the student’s semester term GPA and semester term completion rate will be
evaluated. Students earning a minimum of a 2.00 term GPA and 66.67% term completion rate and completing all other
Probation requirement (www.augsburg.edu/advising/majors/probation-advising/) will continue to be on Probation.
Notation of “Academic Probation” for the semester will be placed on the permanent transcript. Students are required to
complete and follow a SAP plan of assistance (www.augsburg.edu/advising/majors/probation-advising/). Students’
eligibility for financial aid may be impacted if they do not follow through with SAP requirements.
Students on Probation who voluntarily withdraw from Augsburg may apply for readmission. At that time, the Student
Standing Committee will review their application for readmission.
If cumulative and term standards are not met, students will be Suspended.
For more information about Probation requirements, visit www.augsburg.edu/advising/majors/probation-advising/.
Suspension
Students on Probation who do not meet cumulative and term standards will be suspended from the university. Notation
of “Academic Suspension” will be placed on the permanent transcript. Students may appeal their Suspension to the
Student Standing Committee or designee. The Committee’s decision is final. Instructions for appeal are included in the
Letter of Suspension. Students who have been suspended may apply for readmission after one full academic year
(including fall, spring, and summer semesters). At that time, the Student Standing Committee will review the application
for readmission. Recommendations on how to be successful in the readmission process may be outlined in the
suspension letter.
Augsburg University reserves the right to intervene with students who earn less than a 2.00 term GPA and/or less than
66.67% term completion rate in a semester but are otherwise meeting cumulative standards. Students who earn less
than a 1.00 GPA during their first term at Augsburg will be suspended.
Professional Program Dismissal
Students may also be dismissed from professional programs, such as social work, education, and nursing. A student
dismissed from a program may appeal the decision through the Program Dismissal Appeal Process. The process is
available at inside.augsburg.edu/studentaffairs/studentguide.
Dean’s List
The Dean’s List, compiled after each semester, recognizes undergraduate students for outstanding achievement during
the term. Students can qualify for the Dean’s List in two ways:
Earning a semester GPA of 3.50 or higher based on 12 or more traditionally-graded credits
66
Earning a semester GPA of 3.75 or higher based on 6-11 traditionally-graded credits
Incomplete courses and other classes without final grades at the time the Dean’s List is compiled will not be considered.
The Dean’s List is published on Inside Augsburg and students can choose to submit announcements to their hometown
newspapers.
Enrollment/Degree Verification
Augsburg University has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as its agent for verification of student
enrollment and degree status. Contact information is as follows:
National Student Clearinghouse
2300 Dulles Station Blvd, Suite 300
Herndon, VA 20171
Web: www.studentclearinghouse.org
Phone: 703-742-4200
Veterans of Military Service
Augsburg is approved by the state approving agency for VA education benefits. Veterans and eligible spouse and
dependents should consult with the VA School Certifying Officials in the Registrar’s Office and Student Financial Services
about completion of enrollment verification and the forwarding of other information to the Department of Veterans
Affairs. Veterans will need to meet the requirements of the Veterans Administration regarding repayment of
educational assistance funds received. Additional information about veterans’ education benefits can be found at
www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.

Augsburg Core Curriculum
Augsburg University is dedicated to educating students intellectually, physically, and spiritually. To live fully and act
effectively, humans must have a broad grasp of the world from which they have come, as well as the world in which they
live. Through providing courses in the humanities, fine arts, natural sciences, and social sciences, the core curriculum
introduces students to the breadth and complexity of human knowledge and our world.
“Search for Meaning” courses invite students to explore vocation, diversity, and pluralism through the study of Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam, and encourages students to consider their own religious, philosophical, and ethical commitments
in dialogue with other perspective. The Language courses introduce students to the skills and sensibilities necessary to
cross cultures and work across difference. Wellness courses offer students opportunities to develop skills and habits of
healthful living.
Students choose from more than 50 major areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for
a career or further study. Thus, through a balance of curricular activities supported by full programs in student life and
religious life, an Augsburg University education strives to educate its students in a real world for the real world.
Undergraduate Student Learning Outcomes
The university’s mission statement offers a series of educational values:
Augsburg University educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible
leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its
life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the
faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by its urban and global settings.
As part of this mission, Augsburg’s faculty have identified a set of outcomes for student learning
These areas reflect our shared commitment to offering a vibrant liberal arts education in tandem with career
preparation and vocational discovery. We expect students to achieve these outcomes cumulatively, through the
completion of the core curriculum, majors / minors, electives and co-curricular experiences.

Entry Level Placement Tests
Prior to their first registration, students will complete placement tests in:
Mathematics
Writing
69
Language Placement
and, if applicable, English Language Learning
First-year students entering Augsburg in the fall of 2013 or later must complete developmental and writing courses by
the end of their fourth term. Transfer students entering Augsburg in the fall of 2013 or later must complete all required
developmental and writing courses by the end of their third term. The developmental courses subject to this policy are:
ENL 101
ENL 111 / HON 111 / ENL 112
ENL 217 / 218
MAT 103 / 105
Mathematics
For a strong start at Augsburg, students will take an entry-level exam to determine their math placement group (MPG.)
In some cases, students who have transferred a mathematics course taken at another college may have their MPG
determined by the Registrar’s Office. All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Test, administered by
Academic Advising. Students are required to take the Math Placement Test before registering for the first term. Practice
questions and other information are available on the Academic Advising website -- students are encouraged to study for
the exam. Students may retake the Math Placement Test once during their first term of enrollment.
Based on the math placement test result, students will be enrolled in the appropriate courses or advised on preparation
for retaking the Math Placement Test. Students in Math Placement Group (MPG) 1 must take MAT 103: Prealgebra to
advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 must take MAT 105 or MAT 106 to advance to MPG 3. Students in MPG 3 must
take MAT 114: Precalculus to advance to MPG 4, if planning to take calculus. No other MAT course changes a student’s
MPG. A grade of Pass or C- or higher is required to advance to the next math level.
Students are encouraged to advance their MPG as soon as possible. Students must achieve Math Placement Group
(MPG) 3 or higher to graduate. In addition, many courses require MPG 2, 3, or 4 as a prerequisite.
Writing
A writing sample is required of students to determine placement in an appropriate writing class. Students who transfer
an equivalent English composition course from another institution or Advanced Placement English Language and
Composition will be waived from the placement test. If we have official access to an ACT writing sample, we can use that
sample in place of the writing placement test. All other students must take the Writing Placement Test, administered by
Academic Advising.
Based on the writing sample, students are placed into the appropriate writing course. Students placed at Effective take
Effective Writing (or Advanced Effective Writing or Honors Effective Writing). Students placed at Developmental take
Developmental Writing (ENL 101) before taking Effective Writing. These students must pass Developmental Writing (ENL
101) with a grade of P, C-, or higher before enrolling in Effective Writing (ENL 111/112/HON 111).
Modern Language Placement Test
Students with proficiency or experience in French, German, or Spanish complete a placement test. Students begin their
exploration of modern language at the level identified by the placement test. This online placement is administered by
Academic Advising. Placement for American Sign Language and Ojibwe is administered by faculty representing those
specific languages. Students speaking other languages can take a test through Language Testing International and
receive credit for the test by ordering a transcript of a score to be sent to Augsburg.
English Language Learners Assessment
Students whose primary language is other than English will complete a placement to determine preparedness for classes
taught in English and may need to complete an English Language Learning course(s). This placement is administered by
Academic Advising.
70
Core Skills Requirements
Effective Writing
Students must pass ENL 111 - Effective Writing, ENL 112 - Advanced Effective Writing, or HON 111 - Honors Effective
Writing with a grade of C-, P, or higher, or transfer in an equivalent course. Attendance at the first day of class is
required.
Language
For students who have not previously studied a second language, completion of a two-course sequence in the same
language with a minimum grade of C- or P in both courses is required. For a language previously studied, placement into
the 211 level or successful completion (minimum grade of C- or P) of 112 satisfies the graduation requirement.
Placement into French, German, and Spanish courses is based on assessment results from an online Brigham Young
University evaluation tool. Students proficient in other languages may seek a placement evaluation through faculty
fluent in the specified language at Augsburg or other ACTC schools. Details are available from Academic Advising.
Availability of assessment in all languages is not guaranteed.
Assessment is used for placement only and does not result in credit. Students may audit, but will not receive credit for
any course taken below their placement level. The Department of Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies may review and
sometimes override assessment results as deemed appropriate.
Language courses accepted in transfer may be applicable to this skills area for partial or full completion of the
requirement.
Students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by passing an approved course sequence will
have fulfilled the Language Core Skill.
Students whose first language is not English and whose score is below the minimum on the English Language Learners
(ELL) placement test must fulfill the ELL requirement. The requirement is satisfied by successfully completing the ELL
course(s) and achieving a score above the minimum on the ELL placement exam. Students who complete the ELL
requirement will receive credit for the Language Core Skill requirement. Contact Academic Advising or the English
Department for additional information.
Health and Wellness
Two health and wellness courses are required for students admitted into the Day Program. WEL100 - Foundations of
Wellness is required of all Day students. The second course may be chosen from a variety of different Recreational
Wellness courses. Both courses must be completed with a minimum grade of P or C-. Students may test out of the
Recreational Wellness course by demonstrating proficiency from a selected Recreational Wellness activity. Proficiency
exams are offered through the Health and Physical Education Department each semester. There is a fee to take the
Recreational Wellness Activity Proficiency Test. Intercollegiate athletes and Health and Physical Education majors may
not test out of this requirement.
The Augsburg Core Curriculum
The Augsburg Core Curriculum is designed to prepare students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens
through their engagement in a curriculum that:
Provides a liberal arts foundation and promotes the acquisition of intellectual and professional skills
Calls for common inquiry into questions of faith and the search for meaning
Cultivates the transformative discovery of, and appreciation for, the student’s place of leadership and service in a
diverse world
The curriculum has three major components:
Liberal Arts Foundation
Signature Curriculum
71
Skills Development
The Augsburg First Year
To smooth the transition to higher education and their new community, first-year weekday program students are
required to take courses containing the following components:
Augsburg Seminar and Engaging Minneapolis
The Engaging Minneapolis requirement builds on Augsburg’s national leadership in experiential education as well as its
commitment to its urban location. Embedded in the first-year Augsburg Seminar experience, Engaging Minneapolis
introduces students to the city as a resource for intentional learning, typically through civic engagement, cultural
engagement, and/or service-learning.
Many Voices Project
Embedded in ENL 111, 112, and HON 111 (see Core Skills requirements), the Many Voices Project engages first-year
students in discussion of a common text addressing themes of cultural diversity and global awareness. Emphasizing ways
in which written communication can promote understanding and productive engagement among different cultures and
points of view, the Many Voices Project is intended to teach skills and methods that promote successful communication
among diverse writers and readers.
The Augsburg Signature Curriculum
Religion, Vocation, and the Search for Meaning
Guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, the Search for Meaning courses encourage inquiry, welcome
diversity, wrestle with life’s complexities, and engage the world. Two required courses (RLN 100 plus a Search for
Meaning II course) highlight Augsburg’s commitment to developing religious literacy and nurturing students to think
critically about the concept of vocation.
Students from all faith traditions will find a generous spirit of hospitality in these courses. Whether you are Jewish or
atheist, Buddhist or seeker, Catholic or Muslim, Baptist, Lutheran, uncertain, disinterested, or someone who is “spiritual
but not religious,” these courses promote respect and understanding across faith traditions. All religion courses engage
with the concept of vocation and an understanding that we are called to live and serve as neighbors. RLN 100 explores
the idea that vocation is a model and lens for viewing the connections between our basic beliefs and the commitments
and actions we make in life.
The Liberal Arts Foundation
The Liberal Arts Foundation courses introduce students to knowledge and modes of inquiry across a wide range of
disciplines and subjects. The course offerings in the liberal arts provide the opportunity for students to acquire a broad
and solid foundation for their specialized study and professional preparation.
Students choose two approved LAF courses from two different departments in each domain: Natural Sciences and
Mathematics, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Humanities, and Fine Arts.
The official list of approved LAF courses is found on the Registrar’s Office webpage.
Natural Sciences and Mathematics
Two approved courses from two different departments: Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Mathematics,
Physics. One must be a lab science course.
Social and Behavioral Sciences
Two approved courses from two different departments: Anthropology, Economics, Environmental Studies, Political
Science, Psychology, Sociology.
72
Humanities
Two approved courses from two different departments/programs: American Indian Studies, Communication Studies,
English, History, Philosophy, Religion, Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies (literature and culture courses), and Gender,
Sexuality, and Women’s Studies.
Note: The signature Search for Meaning (RLN 100 and 200) courses do not count as humanities Liberal Arts Foundation
requirements. If a student opts to take another approved RLN course to fulfill the Search for Meaning II requirement,
that course may not count toward a Humanities LAF.
Fine Arts
Two approved courses or approved activities from two different departments: Art, Film, Music, Theater.
One fine arts LAF requirement can be met by participating in one of the following:
Four semesters in any combination of the major choral ensembles listed (MUE 111, 112, 114, 115)
Four semesters of orchestra (MUE 121)
Four semesters of concert band (MUE 141)
Senior Keystone
The Senior Keystone course provides a final opportunity for exploring the central themes of an Augsburg education—
vocation and the search for meaning in a diverse and challenging world. In this course, students reflect on the meaning
of their educational experiences and consider issues of transition as they prepare for their lives after Augsburg. Many
Keystone courses also meet major requirements.
The Senior Keystone course in each department connects the broad liberal arts foundation with the professional skills
and in-depth study of the major. It asks graduating students to think critically, reflectively, and ethically about their place
in the world as leaders and servants.
Electives
A student must complete a minimum of 128 semester credits in order to graduate. If the Core Curriculum and Major
requirements do not reach 128 semester credits, the student may take electives for credit in any subject area to reach
the minimum credit requirement.
Majors
For major requirements, see the appropriate departmental page(s) of this catalog or consult the department chair.
Graduation Skills
An Augsburg education aims to develop certain key skills during the years in college. Critical thinking, quantitative
reasoning, speaking, writing and information literacy are deliberate components of certain courses. Graduation skill
requirements typically are embedded in required courses in the major. Some departments, however, designate courses
outside the major or elective courses in the major that fulfill these requirements.
The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) skill incorporates both foundational mathematical skills and the application of those
skills. MPG 3 (Math Placement Group 3) is a prerequisite for all quantitative reasoning courses. See the appropriate
departmental page(s) in this catalog or consult the department chair for more information.
Core Curriculum Modifications
Some majors that result in a Bachelor of Science degree give students the ability to modify their Core Curriculum
requirements. For majors that allow both options, please note that students must choose either the Liberal Arts
Foundation waiver or the Language waiver. The two waiver options cannot be combined for a student.
73
Bachelor of Science/Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) Waiver
Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver must complete at least six of the eight LAF requirements,
provided at least one course is taken in each of the four domains. (e.g., two Natural Science and Mathematics courses,
two Social and Behavioral Science courses, one Fine Arts course, and one Humanities course) The following majors are
approved for the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver:

Student-Designed Major
Students may design their own major with the assistance and approval of three advisors from relevant fields and
subsequent final approval by the Augsburg University Academic Affairs Committee (AAC). A student-designed major
allows flexibility in selecting major courses. Any student wishing to design a major must complete a proposal, submit it
with approval and supporting letters from three faculty advisors, and obtain AAC approval of the program. Students
should seek AAC approval as early as possible so that any changes suggested by AAC may be incorporated into the
design without affecting the student’s proposed completion date. The deadline for initial submission of the program
design to AAC is the first term in which the student has achieved junior status; the final version must be approved the
term before the student achieves senior status.
Students wishing to design majors must:
1. Develop the student-designed major in concert with three faculty advisors from relevant fields, who together
constitute the Review Team. All advisors must sign the proposal cover sheet and submit supporting letters of
approval to AAC. Supporting letters should assess both the student’s ability to complete the proposed major and the
validity and value of the proposed major, including (in at least one of the letters) the proposed capstone course. The
advisors’ signatures and supporting letters represent their approval of the program, including the capstone course,
and their commitment to oversee the student’s progress.
2. Develop a student-designed major program proposal that includes:
A statement of learning goals and objectives
A list of proposed courses (minimum of 36 semester credits, no more than one of which is a lower-level
language course, and at least five of which are upper division) and a discussion of how the courses are related to
the program goals. Indicate how the proposed courses collectively support a specialized and cohesive plan
usually associated with an academic major. Proposals must include research describing comparable programs of
study at a minimum of three other academic institutions. In addition, students should consult with the Clair &
Gladys Strommen Center for Meaningful Work for additional information regarding career objectives. The
proposal should provide information showing how the Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements (including
graduation skills) are to be fulfilled.
A description of the student-designed major capstone to be taken some time during the senior year. The student
should devise the capstone in consultation with advisors. It should require an integrative project/paper that
draws together the coursework up to that point and/or prepares one for further study. In addition, at least one
of the advisors must specifically address the rationale for the proposed capstone in his or her supporting letter,
though approval of the student-designed major program by all advisors presumes their approval of the capstone
course.
Submit the completed proposal and supporting documentation to the Office of Academic Affairs.
If AAC approves the proposed major program, the student will be expected to complete the program designed and still
meet all of the other Augsburg degree requirements as stated in the university catalog.
Students who design their own majors will meet with their advisors regularly throughout the design and subsequent
evaluation of their program. Changes in the approved student-designed major may be made through the normal
petition process to the Student Standing Committee with advisor approval.
ACTC Majors
Full-time Day students may complete other majors through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). Students
who wish to complete a major or minor offered at one of the other ACTC colleges must submit a completed ACTC Major
or Minor Declaration Form to the Registrar’s Office. This form must list all ACTC courses required and be signed by the
ACTC school advisor. Some majors may not be available or may have a competitive application process with acceptance
determined by the major department.
77
Students choosing an ACTC major will need to work with an advisor at the other campus to plan course schedules so
that the student is making progress towards the degree. Students should know that registration for ACTC courses can
be limited and are advised to submit registration materials at the earliest possible time.
78
Pre-Professional Programs
Students who plan to enter the fields of law, medicine, dentistry, ministry, veterinary science, or pharmacy can profit
from a liberal arts education at Augsburg.
It is recommended that requirements for admission to graduate schools or seminaries be reviewed and the course of
study at Augsburg planned accordingly. A faculty advisor is available in each field to assist students in their planning. In
addition, the Undergraduate Research and Graduate Opportunities (URGO) office includes a Health Science Advisor who
works directly with students pursuing health care fields. Students who want to plan a pre-professional program should
contact Academic Advising prior to or early in their first year to arrange for faculty advising.
List of Pre-Professional Programs
Pre-Health Science
o See Biology Departmental page
Pre-Law
o Students considering a career in law should examine the handbook published by the Association of
American Law Schools. Pre-law students major in disciplines of their own choosing; most law school
entrance requirements will be satisfied with a record of solid achievement coupled with an acceptable Law
School Admission Test (LSAT) score.
Pre-Pharmacy
o Augsburg has a program designed to fulfill minimum requirements of the College of Pharmacy at the
University of Minnesota: BIO 151, 353, 476; CHM 115, 116, 351, 352; COM 111 or 115; ECO 112 or 113; ENL
111, 220; MAT 145; PHY 121, 122; and two courses in behavioral sciences such as PSY 105 and SOC 121.
Requirements at other universities may vary.
Pre-Seminary
o A student may enter a theological seminary with any of several different majors, such as history, philosophy,
English, psychology, sociology, or religion. Recommended preparation includes RLN 100, 200; at least two
semesters of history (Western civilization); one or more courses in the history of philosophy; and Greek in
the junior and/or senior year. The Bernhard Christensen Center for Vocation provides resources and
support, including scholarship opportunities, for students considering seminary.
79
Academic Organization and Departments
As a liberal arts institution, Augsburg University believes that knowledge and truth are interrelated and are integrated
into a whole. The tradition of the academic world, however, divides this unified truth into more manageable parts: the
academic disciplines. The knowledge of individual disciplines is subdivided into courses that make it more accessible to
students. These courses can be arranged in various ways to construct majors, to create the substance of a broad general
education, and to give students the opportunity to study areas of particular individual interest.
Degrees Offered
Augsburg offers the following undergraduate degrees:
Bachelor of Arts
Bachelor of Music
Bachelor of Science
Faculty
The heart of any educational institution is its faculty. Augsburg University is particularly proud of the excellence and
commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a doctorate or the highest degree in their field, and all consider
teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are also involved in a variety of professional and research activities that
support their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that introduces them to
current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching techniques and theories.
Augsburg’s size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty
act as academic advisors and participate regularly in campus activities. Every incoming student is assigned both a faculty
and staff academic advisor. In this close interaction, faculty act as mentors for students, and the staff advisor primarily
guides course planning.
Course Descriptions
Course descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter to aid students in planning a program. Course
descriptions can be found at our Course Description Search. A syllabus containing a more detailed explanation of
content, approach, requirements, and evaluations for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor.
Internships and Independent Studies
Every department offers opportunities for internships and independent study. The course description and process for
registering for credit is normally the same for each department. Some departments have additional requirements that
are noted in the course description. Interdisciplinary internships are also available.
Internships
198 – Internship/On-campus
199 - Internship/Off-campus (4 credits)
A work or service-based learning experience typically at the sophomore level in which a student, faculty member, and
site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities
inherent in the placement. Prior to the beginning of the term/registration, interested students must consult with the
departmental internship coordinator or a faculty member and the Strommen Center regarding requirements and
permission to register.
396 - Internship/On-campus (4 credits)
397 - Internship/Off-campus (2 credits)
398 - Internship/On-campus (2 credits)
80
399 - Internship/Off-campus (4 credits)
A work or service-based learning experience at the junior/senior level in which a student, faculty member, and site
supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities
inherent in the placement. For some majors, participation in a concurrent seminar may be expected. Prior to the
beginning of the term/registration, interested students must consult with the departmental internship coordinator or a
faculty member and the Strommen Center regarding requirements and permission to register. (Off-campus 397/399
internships are one option for the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement.)
Directed and Independent Studies
299 - Directed Study
An opportunity to study topics not covered in the scheduled offerings under the direction of an instructor. Approval
must be secured in writing from the instructor and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is
undertaken.
499 - Independent Study/Research
An opportunity for advanced and specialized research projects. Approval must be secured in writing from the instructor
and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is undertaken.
Academic Year
All Augsburg programs follow the semester calendar with fall, spring, and summer semester lengths ranging from 14-16
weeks.
In Augsburg’s Day Program full-time students normally take 16 credits per semester. Day Program students are able to
take courses from the other four Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities during fall or spring semester.
Adult Undergraduate (AU) classes typically meet on the same night of the week, Monday through Thursday for threeand-a-half hours, on an alternating bi-weekly schedule. The alternating weeks of the semester are labeled “Maroon,”
and “Silver.” Online and out-of-class work occurs during the non-class meeting week. Students may take up to 19 credits
per semester.
Rochester (ROCH) campus classes are held on weekday evenings and meet alternate weeks. There are seven to eight
class sessions supplemented by online instruction each semester with each class meeting for 3.5 to 4 hours. Students
may take up to 19 credits per semester.
Courses and majors offered through AU/ROCH are equivalent to their Day Program counterparts. However, the
curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts courses and majors.
Course Offerings
In general, most courses are offered at least once per year unless otherwise indicated. Since some courses are offered
alternate years, it is important that the student review major requirements and course offerings with an advisor to
ensure that all requirements can be met.
Note: Not all courses are offered in all programs. Refer to AugNet Records and Registration for information on when
specific courses are offered.
Credit Hour Definition
Augsburg’s credit hour policy follows the federal guidelines in defining a semester credit hour as one fifty-minute period
of instruction and 100 minutes of out-of-class work per week for fifteen weeks, or the equivalent amount of student
work completed over a different time frame or via a different delivery method.
81
Numbering
Courses numbered 100 -299 are classified as lower division. Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as upper
division. In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for first-years, 200s for sophomores, 300s for juniors, and 400s for
seniors.
Prerequisites
Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are listed in the online Course Description Search as
prerequisites. While it is not recommended, a student may enroll in a course when a prerequisite has not been fulfilled if
there is prior approval by the professor teaching the course. Effective Writing (ENL111) and math placement
prerequisites cannot be waived by the instructor. Students may be dropped from a course they have registered for if
they do not earn a satisfactory grade in the prerequisite for that course in the preceding semester.
Divisions and Departments
The university curriculum is offered by 26 departments that are grouped into three divisions for administrative and
instructional purposes:
Fine Arts and Humanities
American Indian Studies, Art, Communication Studies, Film, and New Media, English, History, Languages and CrossCultural Studies, Music, Philosophy, Religion, Theater, Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies, university librarians.

Art and Design
Art is essential. It teaches us to see, claim beauty, make sense of pain, explore the world, and express ourselves.
At Augsburg University, inspiration and creativity flourish with diversity. A solid foundation of drawing, design, and
history is balanced with the development of technical skills, critical thinking, and creative exploration in a range of
media, including graphic design, drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, photography, hand papermaking,
book arts, art history, architecture, and digital media. Through experiential learning and critical engagement, we foster
understanding of and respect for the crucial contributions of art to society. We are a small campus in the heart of a
major metropolitan area with an innovative faculty. Our classrooms extend into the city creating opportunities for
community engagement and real-life experiences.
On-campus galleries showcase student and professional artwork. Nearby museums, galleries, studio visits, and guest
artists provide art in real time. Service learning, internships, and study abroad are integral to our program.
We reach nearly 1,000 students a year from all disciplines, and graduate 15-20 majors annually with Bachelor of Arts
degrees in art history, graphic design, studio art, and art education. Minors in studio art, art history, graphic design, and
architecture provide additional opportunities for specialization.
For more than half a century, students have been earning degrees in art and art history at Augsburg University. We’re
excited to be here in the center of the city. You will be, too.

Biochemistry
Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living systems. This includes information flow
through biochemical signaling, and energy flow through metabolism. Biochemical processes give rise to the rich
complexity and variety of life.
Biochemistry serves as a vital bridge between macroscopic and molecular worlds, encompassing the broad study of
chemical processes within and relating to living systems. The mechanisms that sustain life are rich and complex, and
biochemists are trained to appreciate those mechanisms on a uniquely fundamental level.
Augsburg’s core curriculum in biochemistry encourages students to build their understanding of key fields within the
biological sciences—including anatomy, physiology, cell biology, genetics, and medicinal chemistry—using the
underlying molecular interactions as a solid foundation for their mastery. The breadth and depth of this approach serves
as a robust platform for a vast array of careers for aspiring health professionals, researchers, and industry technicians.
The Biochemistry major is a joint major between the Biology and Chemistry Departments. As such, students have the
support of a large pool of faculty mentors while completing their studies, as well as dedicated members of both
departments who focus specifically on biochemistry for their academic vocation.

these skills.
General Education Accommodation
BS biochemistry majors may reduce their general education program by one or two courses. See Bachelor of
Science/Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) Waiver in the Academic Information section of the catalog.
Transfer Course Policy for Majors and Minors
Chemistry and Biology have articulation agreements with many of the local CCs as well as ACTC schools. Any transfer
courses not part of existing articulation agreements must be approved in writing by the departments, subject to review
by the chairs. Only those biology and chemistry courses successfully completed (C- or above) within the last 10 years will
be considered. Both biochemistry courses and four credits of upper division (300 level and higher) electives must be
completed in residence (at Augsburg University).
Departmental Honors in Biochemistry
The awarding of Departmental Honors recognizes a student’s outstanding achievement(s) in the Biochemistry Major.
Only students who have a major GPA of 3.5 or higher may earn Departmental Honors by successfully completing the
following:
Continuation of a summer or academic year biology, chemistry, or biophysics research or internship via successful
completion of BIO 297, BIO/CHM 399, CHM 498, BIO/CHM 499 or HON 499 (minimum of 400 hours total research).
Before registering for one of these options, students must submit a formal letter of intent to an Honors Committee of
three biology or chemistry or physics faculty (to be determined by the mentor and student). This formal letter of intent
will be composed of no more than one page of text providing the following: (1) Title of project; (2) abstract describing
the project with special focus given to the questions that will be addressed, the methods to be used and the expected
90
outcomes; (3) name and signature (with date) of your faculty advisor; and (4) list of the three Biology, Chemistry and/or
Physics Department faculty who have agreed to serve as your Honors Committee. A decision whether or not to approve
registration will be made by the Honors Committee within one week of submission. Successful completion of the Honors
process requires a public presentation of your research and a oral discussion of your project with the Honors Faculty
committee, typically no later than March 15, so that successful recipients of departmental honors can be recognized
during graduation ceremonies.
The formal letter of intent for Honors in Biochemistry is typically submitted early in the fall semester of the senior year.
Other Requirements
In planning their courses of study, students are encouraged to work closely with members of the biology and chemistry
faculty. Biochemistry majors must have an advisor in either the biology or chemistry departments. In order to complete
all major requirements in four years, BIO 151 and CHM 115 and 116 should be taken in the first year; and BIO 253 and
CHM 251 and 252 and 280 are recommended in the second year. Students should complete their math requirements
early in their academic careers. Students must earn a minimum grade of grade of C- in all courses that are prerequisite
for higher level courses. Supporting course requirements in mathematics, physics, and communication must be satisfied
with a grade of C- or higher to satisfy major requirements. A C- or higher average must be maintained in all upper
division biology and chemistry courses applied toward meeting the requirements of a major. All biology and chemistry
courses applied toward the major must be traditionally graded.
Students completing majors in biochemistry will be required to take the ETS Major Field Test in either biology or
chemistry during their final year of the program. The exam will appear on the graduation checklist.
Biochemistry for Health Sciences
Prerequisite requirements for health sciences vary with the program and the institution. Care should be taken to study
the requirements for every program well in advance of making application. In general, the pre-medical curriculum
includes a year each of biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, calculus and physics. Courses in biochemistry,
statistics, advanced biology, and social and behavioral sciences are also important preparation for the MR5 Medical
College Admissions Exam. Programs in physician assistant training, veterinary medicine, physical therapy, and such
typically have a more extensive list of prerequisites. Students considering a post-baccalaureate program in these areas
should consult early and often with health science advisors Catherina Kipper, Dale Pederson, and Kelsey RichardsonBlackwell.
Graduate Training in Biochemistry
Graduate programs in biochemistry typically require two semesters of general chemistry, organic chemistry, calculus,
and physics. A course in statistics is highly recommended. Also required is extensive involvement in faculty-student
research through URGO, McNair and other research opportunities which satisfy the Augsburg Experience.
Students also participate in research off campus through internships and summer research experiences. Careful
consultation with a biology or chemistry faculty advisor is recommended to select among coursework and research
options.

Biology
From transgenic crops to emerging diseases to being a member of the human species, biology affects – literally – every
part of your life. Because biology is such a broad field, the biology program at Augsburg emphasizes integration across
many sub-disciplines, including molecular, cellular, organismal, evolutionary, and ecological biology. Additionally, the
biology program at Augsburg coordinates with the mathematics, chemistry, and physics programs to ensure that our
students acquire the necessary knowledge to fully understand biological phenomena.
Augsburg’s Biology program is designed to provide students with the opportunities to (1) understand the fundamental
knowledge of the discipline, (2) know how scientific knowledge is generated and disseminated, (3) effectively
communicate scientific information in written and oral forms, (4) be proficient in common biological lab techniques, and
(5) demonstrate professionalism in the sciences. Additionally, Augsburg has a strong commitment to undergraduate
research, both on and off campus. There are a variety of opportunities to work on research projects with Biology faculty
and subsequently present your research at regional, national, and international meetings.
Graduates of our Biology program follow many different paths. Most of our graduates use their undergraduate major in
Biology as a springboard for further study. Augsburg graduates have gone on to graduate studies leading to careers in
post-secondary teaching, basic and applied research, and public health or have entered professional programs in
medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. In addition, many of our students go directly into the workforce as
laboratory technologists and teachers.

Specialization), Accounting, Finance, International Business, Management, Management Information Systems, and
Marketing. There is also a combined Business and Economics major, which incorporates courses from both the

addition to their major. The Department of Business Administration offers eight minors: Business Administration (for
non-business majors only), Business Analytics, Business Minor for Science Majors, Entrepreneurial Studies, International
Business, Music Business, Accounting, Management Information Systems, and Marketing.

MIS, MKT) taken at Augsburg more than 10 years ago will not be applied toward a major unless approved by a faculty
member in the student's designated major area or the chair. Suitable intervening work experience will also be

Advising
Students who plan to pursue any of our business majors are strongly encouraged to select a departmental advisor who
teaches in their major. This should be done by the end of sophomore year at the latest. In addition to advising,
departmental faculty can counsel students on their careers, assist in obtaining internships or jobs, and provide letters of
recommendation for prospective employers or graduate programs. The Business Administrator is also available for
advising questions relating to degree progress, course selection, and international courses abroad.

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

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

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

Degree and Major Requirements
Choosing a Concentration
Students majoring in English have the opportunity to choose one of three concentrations: literature, language, and
theory; creative writing; and secondary licensure in communication arts/literature.
While some of our courses explicitly address theoretical approaches to literature, especially those that examine race,
class, and gender, all of our courses infuse these concerns in their engagement with primary works of fiction, poetry,
creative nonfiction, film, and drama. All literature classes involve students in multiple forms of literary examination and
are taught by professors who love teaching and who love literature. Our classes develop and demand the skills of
aesthetic receptivity, perceptive and critical reading, open and clear speaking, and analytical and engaging writing—skills
of the educated and employable citizen.
English Major with a Literature, Language, and Theory Concentration
The Literature, Language, and Theory concentration provides students various approaches to the study of the written
word and visual text. Spotlight courses focus on specific authors, genres, or themes, and enable the discovery of new
literary experiences. Courses in African American, Native American, Asian American, and postcolonial literatures
reconfigure the nature of traditional literary studies. Survey courses in English, American, and world literatures are
organized by historical periods and provide a classically structured framework of study. Courses in literary theory
demand the intense and intellectually challenging engagement of text, culture, and self. The Literature, Language, and
141
Theory concentration offers courses of study cross-listed with American Indian Studies, Art, Communication Studies,
Film, Theater, and Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies.
This concentration requires nine courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 including:
One of ENL 220 or ENL 221
o ENL 220 - Intermediate Expository Writing
o ENL 221 - Intermediate Expository Writing About the Arts
At least two 200-level literature courses as prerequisites for upper division courses in English. No more than two
200-level literature courses may count for the major.
At least five 300-level courses, with one each in British literature, American literature, and world literature.
At least one 400-level course. Any 300-level course serves as a prerequisite for the 400-level.

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

communication arts/literature in Minnesota. Students are encouraged to take courses toward their major during the
first and sophomore years and to apply for the education licensure program no later than the spring of their junior year.
Students in both programs must work with advisors in the English Department and the Education Department in order
to meet the professional requirements within the Education Department as well as the requirements for the major.
Should licensure not be possible, graduation can be achieved through an English major, which requires at least two
additional, specific courses, or through a communication studies major.

secondary education licensure requirements. In addition to consulting your designated ENL advisor, contact an
Education Department advisor for information about education courses.
Graduation Skills
Graduation Skills in Critical Thinking (CT), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) are embedded throughout the offered courses
and are met by completing the major.
Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of
these skills.
The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation skill is met with one of the following courses: GST 200, HIS 369, MAT 111,
MAT 145, MAT 146, MAT 163, MAT 164, NUR 410, PHI 230, PHY 119, POL 483, or the QR from a second major.
Departmental Honors
GPA of 3.5 in the major and 3.0 overall; submit proposal to department chair by early October in senior year for
department approval. Submit and defend paper before faculty committee. Honors project may receive independent
study credit (refer to departmental guidelines).
MFA Master Class Option
Advanced standing undergraduate junior or senior writers with a GPA of 3.50 in English courses, with the
recommendation of undergraduate creative writing faculty, with a portfolio of work specific to the genre in which the
student applies, and with approval of the MFA director, may join a MFA summer residency course in their genre. Upon
successful completion of the same residency requirements as graduate students, master class students will earn the
same number of credits towards their Augsburg undergraduate degree (maximum 6 credits). Additionally, if they enroll
in the Augsburg MFA program in the future, they will have satisfied the first of their three summer residency course
requirements.
The MFA Master Class Option is not repeatable.
The MFA Master Class Option is open to undergrad students from other institutions as well as Augsburg University.
Transfer Students
Note: Transfer undergraduate English majors must take at least three of their English courses at Augsburg. Transfer
students who minor in English must take at least two of their English courses at Augsburg.
Transfer English education students with a BA in English from another college must take at least three of their English
courses at Augsburg (preferably upper division courses). These courses must be taken before the department can
recommend a student for student teaching.
The English Placement Test
A writing sample is required of students to determine their placement in an appropriate writing class. Students having
completed AP (Advanced Placement) courses in composition must have a score of 4 or 5. Students who need to develop
competence in composition skills—such as stating and supporting a thesis, organizing clearly, and constructing
paragraphs and sentences—are required to enroll in Developmental Writing (ENL 101) where they receive more
individual instruction than is possible in Effective Writing (ENL 111). These students must pass Developmental Writing
(ENL 101) with a grade of P, C-, or higher before enrolling in Effective Writing (ENL 111).
Note: Students should register for ENL 101 during the first semester of attendance if possible. ENL 111, 112, or HON 111
should be completed, if possible, during the first year.
Students in Developmental Writing (ENL 101), Effective Writing (ENL 111), HON 111, or ENL 112 can elect the traditional
grading system or P/N grading in consultation with their instructor up through the last week of class (without special
permission/petition).
144
Service Courses
The department offers these service courses for students as required by a placement test.
Literature, Language, and Theory Courses
The 200-level courses in the literature, language, and theory track of the English major develop foundational
competencies in reading and interpreting literary texts, and provide opportunities for diverse literary discovery. These
courses require ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 as a prerequisite or co-requisite.
Upper Level Courses
The 300-level courses in the literature track in English concentrate on primary texts in historical and cultural contexts.
These courses ask students to practice interpreting literary texts by employing techniques, terminology, and research
methods of the discipline, resulting in effective and substantive expository writing about the subject. Unless otherwise
indicated, students must take ENL 220 or 221 (see writing courses), or one 200-level literature, language, or theory
course, or gain consent of the instructor as a prerequisite.
The 400-level literature, language, and theory courses emphasize scholarship, criticism, and theory, and ask students to
write and speak professionally about literary texts. Any 300-level literature course or permission of the instructor serve
as a prerequisite for the 400-level. One 400-level course must fulfill the keystone requirement.
Writing Courses
Note: First day attendance in all writing courses is mandatory for a student to hold their place in the course.

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

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

Honors Program – HON
Introduction
The Augsburg Honors Program offers an adventurous education where students with a passion for ideas can be their
best. We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education.
Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike any other honors program in the nation because it gives students the resources
and freedom to build their own ideal higher education. Students have the opportunity to create their own courses, edit
and write for the Honors Review of Undergraduate Scholarship, belong to an Honors House, and learn through small
reading groups, research projects, and travel around the world.
Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students, and includes a challenging “signature experience”
such as writing a play, putting great books on trial, or attending music, theater, and art performances. Honors courses
bring in professors from several different departments so students can learn from talented professors teaching their
specialties.
For information, contact the Honors Desk at honors@augsburg.edu, (612-330-1560) or Stacy Freiheit, Honors Program
interim director, at freiheit@augsburg.edu.
Honors Program Recognition
Students who complete the Honors Program requirements receive special transcript notation, special graduation
recognition, résumé-building positions, and special access to academic advising and career options.
Honors Admission Requirements and Academic Scholarships
Students with a demonstrated record of achievement are eligible to enter the Augsburg Honors Program. Prospective
students may demonstrate achievement in a variety of ways. Most students who are admitted have a composite ACT
score of 27 or higher (or a combined SAT score of 1250 or higher), and a high school GPA of 3.50 or higher. However,
students without these numeric requirements may be eligible if they have exceptional records of extracurricular activity
or other exceptional experiences. All students are encouraged to apply. To apply, students should fill out the online
application at www.augsburg.edu/honors.
Students applying for the Honors Program also automatically apply for the university’s highest academic scholarships:
the President’s, Honors Regents’, International President’s, and Hanwick/Agre Scholarships.
Qualifying Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, College in the Schools, and Postsecondary Option courses
may satisfy Honors Program requirements, and/or be granted credit. Contact Academic Advising or the Honors Program
director for further information.
Students may enter the Honors Program at any point in their academic career, so long as they have the time left to
complete the 28 credits needed to satisfy the Honors requirements. This usually means by the start of their junior year.
All Honors students must complete the three required, 4-credit courses (HON 120, HON 130, and HON 490), and the
junior colloquium (HON 340).
Honors Program Requirements
All Honors students must complete the university’s General Education core requirements, including RLN 100, RLN
200, ENL 111, and two Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) courses in each of the four disciplinary areas (Humanities, Fine
Arts, Social and Behavioral Science, Natural Science and Mathematics). Unless exempt, Honors students must also
fulfill the foreign language and physical education requirements.
Some Honors courses, both required and elective, may also satisfy Gen Ed requirements. Students should use this
circumstance to their advantage where it helps them toward degree completion. For example, students may take
159
HON 100, HON 200, or HON 111 to fulfill the Gen Ed requirements met by RLN 100, RLN 200, or ENL 111,
respectively.
At the same time, exemption from certain Gen Ed requirements does not mean exemption from Honors
requirements. For example, students may be exempt from the Humanities LAF, but this does not make them exempt
from taking HON 130-Liberating Letters, which all Honors students must take, usually in their first year.
In order to graduate with the Honors Program distinction, all Honors students must participate in a substantial
research process. This may be accomplished in a variety of ways, including HON 260 Honors Review, HON 470
Independent Research Collaboration, and URGO summer research.
All Honors students must complete 28 credits in Honors to meet the Honors requirements for graduation.
Students may transfer up to 8 credits from another institution toward their total of 28 Augsburg Honors credits.
Transfer credits may come from AP, IB, PSEO, or other courses, through pre-established reciprocity agreements,
participation in a chapter of the PTK community college honors society, or a portfolio of leadership activities. All
transfer credits are subject to the approval of the Honors director. (This effectively means that some students may
only take 20 Honors credits at Augsburg.)
Honors Co-Curricular Activities
Honors Houses
All Honors students must belong to an Honors House for the purpose of receiving academic advising and program
information. All Honors students are required to attend mandatory meetings of the Honors Program or of their houses.
These meetings are necessary for advising, information, and governance. When students enter the Honors Program they
choose to join one of the four Honors Houses:
The Crockett Scholars House coordinates scholarship, research, fellowship, major award or prize opportunities, and
graduate school placement for all Honors students. Crockett House also organizes scholarship events.
The Pike Stewards House coordinates public relations, job placement, and fundraising opportunities for all Honors
students. Pike House also organizes events for alumni and fundraising.
The Griffin Citizens House coordinates recruiting, social activities, admission and scholarship applications, and the
Honors website opportunities for all Honors students. Griffin House also organizes events for recruiting and
socializing, such as banquets, parties, and high school recruiting trips.
The Hesser Servants House coordinates service-learning, social justice, experiential learning, and political activity
opportunities for all Honors students. Hesser House also organizes related events, such as Honors service days and
Augsburg experiences.
Augsburg Honors Review
Students manage, edit, write, and publish an interdisciplinary journal of undergraduate scholarship. The Review accepts
submissions from students at Augsburg and other colleges and universities around the nation.
Student Leadership Opportunities
Students elected to leadership within their Honors House may serve as house presidents or serve in other program
leadership positions. The house presidents sit on the Honors Student Presidents Council and make critical decisions
about program courses and resources.
Student-Created Learning Experiences (SCLE)
Honors students may learn through established courses or through student-created learning experiences. These
student-created experiences may substitute for Honors curricular requirements, or may simply enrich a student’s
education. Such student created experiences may count toward requirements in majors and satisfy Honors
requirements, or simply be an elective course.
Student-created learning experiences may take almost any form. Some possible forms include:
Student-created courses (created in collaboration with faculty)
160
Full course (10-20 students)
Reading Groups (29 students)
Individual Reading and Examination (individual study)
Student/Faculty Research (may be one or many students)
Process: A student-created learning experience may be proposed by any Honors student or by any Augsburg faculty or
staff person. The interested student should speak with either an Honors Council member or the Honors Program
director. Next, a proposal should be drafted in accord with the Honors student-created learning experience form. Finally,
the proposal should be submitted by the student to the Honors Program director who will carry the proposal to the
Honors Council for review.

Interdisciplinary Studies
Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies
The B. A. in Interdisciplinary Studies degree includes the following requirements:
A student must complete at least 40 credits for the major.
Within the 40 credit minimum, a student must complete 24 credits of 300- or 400-level courses and can only include
4 credits of 200-level language courses.
A student must select at least one concentration field of study and take at least 20 credits (including 12 credits at a
300- or 400-level) from that field of study (those from a single course prefix, for example AIS, or courses that are
typically part of a major in that field). If a student elects to have two concentration fields of study, the student will
take 20 credits (including 12 credits at a 300- or 400-level) from each of two fields of study (will have 20 credits from
each of two different course prefixes).
A student must also complete all core and signature curriculum requirements.
A student must complete a capstone and/or keystone as a culminating experience. (Credits for KEY 490 are not
included in the 40 credit total.) Options include:
o A capstone/keystone course in one of their concentration disciplines;
o An internship or faculty mentored research and KEY 490; or
o An independent study capstone experience and KEY 490.
A student must compile a portfolio of learning experiences that demonstrate the achievement of each of the
selected learning outcomes. A template for the portfolios will be developed by the faculty committee proposing this
major in consultation with the Director of Assessment and the Director of General Education.
The name of the major noted on the transcript will be Interdisciplinary Studies, and the concentration(s) will be
noted on the transcript.
The faculty advisor will assist the student in determining which of the institutional learning outcomes align with the
proposed major. Each major will include at least 3 institutional student learning outcomes.
a. use appropriate methods to gather and analyze evidence, identify underlying assumptions, and evaluate
competing claims
b. construct coherent, polished and persuasive arguments, narratives and explications in written, oral and other
formats
c. critically engage their own beliefs and articulate their gifts and goals for meaningful life and work in a pluralistic
context
d. identify the broad foundations for sustainable living and apply them in demonstrable ways
e. employ the fundamental principles of quantitative literacy to arrive at thoughtful judgments articulate and solve
problems in creative, analytical, and integrative ways
f. engage their communities and demonstrate a sense of agency to create change in ethical and informed ways
g. explain diverse positions and collaborate effectively across social, cultural and geographic differences in local
and global contexts
All Interdisciplinary Studies majors will include the following learning outcome.
h. demonstrate the ability to apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate theories and/or concepts from one or more
fields studied in depth
The student will work with one faculty member as their advisor and get input from other faculty as needed to develop a
major plan. Specialized training will be developed for faculty advisors who are working with students in this major
developed with input from Academic Advising, the Director of General Education, and the Director of Assessment.
Having one faculty advisor will ensure the consistency of the information for the student and can be accommodated by
our current academic management software. The major plan will be approved by the advisor, the department chair of
each concentration, and the Dean of Arts and Sciences or the Dean of Professional Studies before submission to the
Registrar.

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