AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
Augsburg College is a Christian liberal arts college of The
American Lutheran Church. The
faculty and the Board of Regents of the College affirm the
following as their understanding of the aims, philosophy, objectives and character of this
institution.
ULTIMATE AlMS
TO contribute to the true good
of human life and society.
To contribute to the building
of free and living congregations
in the community of the Christian Church.
BASIC PHILOSOPHY
The Christian message concerning the redemptive act of
God in Christ constitutes the
greatest potential for good in
human life and society; but this
potential is realized only insofar
as it is actualized in the minds
and hearts of individuals.
The redemption of the mind
constitutes the unique educational task laid upon the Christian
Church; in seeking to relate all
learning to the truth of the
Christian faith, the Christian college performs its greatest service both to the Church and to
society.
Where there is an atmosphere
of free and honest inquiry, truth
has the overwhelming advantage;
the Christian college, therefore,
pursues its purposes not by indoctrination or coercion, but by
inviting teachers and students
to join in a common search for
truth and in a common attempt
to see all truth in relation to
ultimate Truth.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
To attract to the college students of high ability and genuine religious concern who can
reap the maximum benefit from
a program of Christian higher
education.
To provide a campus setting
that is conducive to the spiritual,
mental, moral and physical wellbeing of its students.
To stimulate its students' intellectual interest, and to assist
them to develop the habits and
skills necessary for sound academic work.
To acquaint its students with
the spiritual, cultural and intellectual riches of mankind, both
for the sake of the enrichment
of their own lives and, through
them, for the enrichment of their
homes and communities.
To confront its students with
the problems and benefits of
living and serving in an increasingly urban culture.
To lead its students to a deeper understanding and experience
of the Christian Gospel in its
relati,on to every area of life
and learning.
To assist its students in discovering and clarifying their
peculiar aptitudes and interests,
and to provide training and
counsel that will assist them
in preparing for a life work appropriate thereto.
To aid its students in the development of Christian attitudes
and Christian qualities of character; and to encourage each
GENERAL
INFORMATION
student to look upon his life
as a Christian vocatio,n, and an
opportunity for service t o God
and man.
DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER
Augsburg College is a Christian community of life and learning.
As a Christian academic community, Augsburg seeks that
high level of excellence which
is appropriate to such a community.
Augsburg treasures its religious and cultural heritage as an
institution founded by Lutheran
immigrants from Norway who
sought t o play a creative role
in American life and society,
and seeks to preserve the enduring values of this heritage
in the life of the college community today.
As a metropolitan college,
Augsburg attempts to relate its
faculty and students t o an urban
culture by utilizing the educational, social, cultural and religious resources of the growing
metropolitan
community
in
which it is located.

MPUS
There are many influences which mould life and character in c01lege. While the exercises d 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
climate of an institution. At Augsburg definite emphasis is placed
upon the maintenance of a wholesome spirit of Christian community living.
THE CHAPEL SERVICE
At the center of Augsburg's program 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 and faculty.
COMMISSION OF
RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
The Commission of Religious Activities, composed of students and
faculty, is responsible to the Augsburg community for the implementation of the religious program. Chairman of this Commission is a student, who is also a member of the Student Council.
Although Augsburg College does not believe that religious life
can be separated from the rest of life, this Commission does see
its major responsibility in relation to worship, devotional life, and
the stimulation of faith through discussion and service.
RECREATION STANDARDS
AND DISCIPLINE
At Augsburg all of the work of the college rests on certain Biblical affirmatives about human nature and man's relation to God.
As a Christian liberal arts college, Augsburg takes these relationships seriously and therefore seeks to educate the whole man.
It follows that one of its important responsibilities is to establish
programs and policies that contribute to this end.
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, and students who do not feel drawn to this
quality of life should not seek to be enrolled at Augsburg.
Without attempting to dictate to the individual conscience, the
college reserves the right to ask its students to adapt themselves
to the social and recreational program approved by the college.
It reserves the right to dismiss any student whose continuation
in college is deemed undesirable for social as well as for academic
reasons.
It is the policy of the college that such action shall be taken only
after the available campus resources of counseling and judicial
processes have been utilized. Thus, disciplinary problems are first
dealt with through counseling. Those not solved this way are
channeled to a student-faculty Judicial Council through the Office of the Dean of Students. In all cases, careful investigation and
the privilege of a hearing precede any disciplinary action.
In seeking to develop a constructive recreational program, some
limitations have been placed on certain activities. The college is
opposed to all forms of gambling. The college does not allow
the possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages in residence
halls, in any college-approved place of residence or at any collegesponsored event. Minnesota state law forbids the possession or
consumption of alcoholic beverages by people who are not 21
years of age.

activities include parties, teas, picnics, films, banquets, dances,
talent shows and special dinners and big-name entertainment.
Traditional highlights of the year are Homecoming, the Christmas
Buffet, Sno-Days, the Carnival, and the spring formal dance.
Many students take part in the social society system at Augsburg
by joining either a men's or women's society. These societies are
small groups which provide a natural contact between upperclass
students and freshmen, and commuter and residence students,
as they plan activities. The society system is governed by the InterSociety Council which, in turn, is responsible to the Student Council.
The recreation program has activities for both participants and spectators. The intramural program under the direction of the Physical
Education Department features touch football and basketball. On

INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Augsburg is a member of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference. The college is represented annually by teams in football, cross country, basketball, hockey, wrestling, 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
college recognizes 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 contribute to the development of
student interests, skills, insights, and loyalties.
More specifically, the following outcomes are sought: (1) 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 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 athletic program should contribute to the development of a unified and healthy "school spirit." Enthusiasm for intercollegiate athletics or other co-curricular 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.
ELIGIBILITY
REQUIREMENTS
In order to participate in certain extra-curricular activities, students must meet established eligibility requirements. Organizations
check eligibility of candidates by submitting a list to the Director

awareness of resources available to them as they meet the problems of daily life.

The first five courses listed above should be taken in the freshman
year, except that students with majors in biology, chemistry, music,
or medical technology may postpone history or sociology until the
sophomore year. Religion 21 is required in the sophomore year. It is
recommended that the general education requirements be completed
in the first two years of college, except item 13 above. One upper
division religion course should be taken in each of the junior and
senior years.
Students who enter college with a high proficiency in English will
enroll in English 15 instead of English 11 and will substitute a literature course for English 12.
The number of credits required in a foreign language is determined
by proficiency examinations. The student is required to have the
equivalent of four terms of a foreign language for graduation, that
is, two terms of the beginning course and two terms of the intermediate level course. He is exempt from this requirement if he
has had four years or more of one foreign language.
In the natural sciences, two courses in biology, chemistry, mathematics, or physics satisfy the requirement. It is recommended
that the two courses be taken in the same department. Students
ACADEMIC
ADMINISTRATION
who obtain a grade of A or B in the first course of science have
the option of taking Philosophy of Science for the second course.
Philosophy 21 and 22 are designed to meet the philosophy requirement. Philosophy 23 may be used also.
Students may choose from Political Science 20, 21, 22 or Economics 22 for the requirement in political science or economics.
The general education requirement in speech or literature will be

W . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Course withdrawn during first four weeks;
or student withdrew from college.
S (satisfactory), P (pass), N (no credit) indicate level of achievement; they do not affect grade point average.
CONDITIONS AND INCOMPLETES
A condition or an incomplete received at the end of a term must
be removed within the first five weeks of classes of the following
term. If conditions and incompletes are not removed within five
weeks of the following term, the condition automatically becomes
a failure and the incomplete becomes the grade submitted by the
teacher along with the Incomplete. The final grade after the con,dition examination is taken may not be higher than D. A fee of
$5 is charged for an examination making up an incomplete or a
condition received a t the end of a term.
REPEATING COURSES
A course which has been failed or in which a D has been earned
may be repeated for credit. Only the credits and grade earned the
second time are counted toward graduation. Courses in which
higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit;
they may, however, be audited.
-
REGISTRATION
Students who have been accepted for admission should register
on the days designated in the Calendar for this purpose. Those who
register late are charged a late registration fee of $1 per day after
classes begin. The last date on which a student may register for
or enter a course is one week after the beginning of classes. Registration for audit requires the same procedure as registration for
credit. Audit registration is considered equal to one-half the credit
registration in determining load and fees.
Registration means that the student accepts all the rules and regulations established by the school.
No credit will be given a student for any subject for which he has
not registered.
The college reserves the right to cancel any course for whichthere
is not sufficient registration.
The normal registration is 15 credit hours. A credit hour is nonnally defined as one recitation period a week throughout a term. The
privilege of registering for more than 17 credit hours is granted to
students who have gained an average record of B, or three grade
points per credit, in the preceding term. No student is permitted to carry work for more than 19 credits per term. Students
working part-time are urged to arrange the amount omf their registration accordingly.
CHANGE OF REGISTRATION AND CANCELLATION
A student who desires to make a change in his registration should
obtain a form from the Registrar's Office. The approval of the
teachers concerned, the student's adviser, and the Registrar are
needed. A fee of $2 is charged for each change of registration after
the first three days of classes. No course may be added after the
first week of classes.
A course which is cancelled during the first four weeks of classes
is followed by W. After the first four weeks and before the last
three weeks of the term, a course which is cancelled is given a grade
of WP if the student is passing and WF if he is failing the course.
No course may be cancelled during the last three weeks of the
term.
A student who finds it necessary to leave school before the end
of a term must cancel his registration at the Registrar's Office in
order to remain in good standing.
CLASSIFICATION IJ
In order to be classified in one of the regular college classes, a
student must be carrying a minimum of 12 hours of work in which
college credit is given. Classification is based on the attainment of
the following number of credit hours with a t least twice that number of grade points:
Credits
Grade Points
36
72
Sophomore
84
168
Junior
130
260
Senior
Students are classified by this regulation a t the time of their registration each school year.
Students registered for less than 12 credits are classified as special
students.
PROBATION AND DISMISSAL
A student is placed on scholastic probation a t the end of any term
in which his achievement is unsatisfactory. The following guidelines are used in placing a student on probation with the overall
average entering in as an additional factor.
First-year students with a grade point average o,f 1.5 or below
Second-year students with a grade point average of 1.6 or below
Third-year students with a grade point average of 1.8 or below
Fourth-year students with a grade point average of 1.8 or below
All students with 7 or more credits of F.
In order to be removed from probation, a student must achieve a
grade point average of 2.1 or better for at least one term.
A student will usually be allowed to continue on probation for two
terms. If his academic achievement has continued to be unsatisfactory, he will be dropped for low scholarship.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
Regular class attendance is required of all students in lo'wer division courses. Attendance in upper division courses is voluntary
for juniors and seniors unless required by the teacher of the class.
In classes for which attendance is required, a record of attendance
is kept and periodic reports on absences are submitted to the Registrar.
Students wh'o find it necessary to be absent because of illness or
for other reasons should report the reasons for the absence to their
teachers. For prolonged absence of over one week due to illness,
the student may obtain an excuse signed by the Health Service if
this is requested by the teacher.
Students with an excessive number of absences not excused by the
teacher may be dropped from the course with a grade of F.
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 periods absent, are issued by
the Dean to all instructors involved, but the student is still responsible for any work missed.
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 each term. In the middle
of the fall term, reports of the grades attained by freshmen are
made to the Registrar who forwards them to the counselors, parents, and students. Final reports are sent at the end of each term
to the parents and students.
Written examinations are regularly scheduled a t the close of each
term. No student or class may arrange to take a final examination
in any course before the examination week.
Absence from a final examination will result in a grade of failure
unless the student presents a reasonable excuse immediately to the
teacher concerned.
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 charged a fee of $5 for such an examination. Before the student takes the examination, he must obtain a statement from the
Registrar's office and bring it to the teacher concerned.
COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATIONS
Comprehensive examinations may be permitted in courses in which
the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing believes the
student has adequate preparation or background. Students who wish
to take a comprehensive examination must apply in writing to this
committee. When permission is granted, the necessary approval
forms may be secured at the Office of the Registrar. A fee of $5
($10 for students not currently enrolled) is charged for each credit
hour and must be paid in advance. Examination questions and the
answers will be filed in the Registrar's Office.
UNIVERSITY COURSES
By arrangement with the University of Minnesota, students may
register for courses at the University. But such registrations will
not be allowed unless the student has a C average in his courses
at Augsburg. Also, the combined number of credits in any term
must not exceed 17. The credits thus gained a t the University may
be transferred to Augsburg College and counted towards graduation.
COURSES
OF
STUDY
Descriptions of the courses offered in 1968-70 are given on the
following pages. Unforeseen circumstances may necessitate making
changes. Courses with inadequate registration may be cancelled.
Students should consult the schedule o,f classes t o determine definitely the current course offerings.

AMERICAN STUDIES
Mr. Nicholl, Director of Program
The aim of the program in American Studies is to develop the
student's understanding of American culture, past and present,
in breadth as well as some depth. The major is interdepartmental,
built primarily upon American area courses now offered in various
departments.
The program should offer the student a good foundation for graduate studies in law and the ministry, for the M.A. in library science
and the M.A.T. in secondary school teaching. The major would
also provide a good background for careers in the U.S. Government, particularly civil service positions and the foreign service.
Major: 56 credits, minimum
Requirements for the major include a core of foundation courses
(29 crs.); a program of elective courses for integrated study (minimum, 18 crs.) and American Studies 99 (5 crs.); and American
Studies 95 (4 crs.), a seminar of concentrated study.
The core of courses, to be taken in the departments of English,
History, Political Science, and Religion aim to give the student a
broad foundation of subject matter in major areas of American
culture, past and present, and introduce him to the methodologies
of various disciplines.
The following are required core courses:
English 45: Major American Writers (5 crs.) Prereq. Eng. 11-12
History 21-22: United States History (10 crs.) Prereq. Hist. 1
or 2 or 3
Political Science 20: American Government I, Foundations of

Political Science 21: Am. Gov't 11, Amer. National Gov't (5 crs.)
Religion 63: American Protestantism (4 crs.) Prereq. Rel. 11
and 21
In his program of elective courses the student would attempt to
achieve a measure of integrated study of major themes in American civilization. Papers written in Independent Study, Am. S. 99,
would attempt to accomplish this.
From the following elective courses the student must choose a
minimum of 18 credits from a t least 3 departments:
Education 87: School and Society (4 crs.)
English 82: The American Novel (4 crs.) Prereq. Eng. 45

DEPARTMENT
The Department of Art endeavors to further the student's technical
and conceptual understanding of art. Besides experience in the disciplines
of drawing, print making, painting, sculpture, and ceramics, emphasis
is given to the function of art in history and religion. Because of the
place art has in contemporary life, students are encouraged to consider the areas of teaching, graduate study, commercial designing,
and avocational art.

DEPARTMENT
OF
BIOLOGY
MR. SULERUD, chairman, MR. HERFORTH, MR. MICKELBERG,
MR. THORPE, MR. URDAHL
It is intended that the offerings of the Department of Eiology should be
extensive enough to meet the needs and interests of a tvide variety
of students. For the nan-science major the aim is to pmvidc a reliable
basic understanding nf biological science and, more generally, of the
character of scieniifie Colmvlcclgc. The more ad\-anced courses are designed to provide a good preparation for students who elect to pursue
the study of biological science for a career in the profession of biology
or in a related area such as the medical profession.
All students who intend to complete a major or minor in biology should
plan their program carefully with specific reference to their intended
career. It is important that a prospective binlogy major consult with
the biology staff concerning this planning as soon es possible. In
general, a broad background in the supportihg sciences and in mathematics is essential. Students who plan to enter graduate or medical
school or to teach secondary school upon graduation must be certain
to meet the appropriate preparatory requirements. Recommended fouryear programs for such students are given under Curriculums in the
catalog as are the programs for pre-dental, pre-nursing and medical
technology students.
Major: Two programs leading to a biology major are available. Option
I i s recommended, with few exceptions, for students who intend to
obtain an advanced degree in biology, medicine or related fields. Option
II may be preferable for potential secondary school teachers and others
whose intended careers require relatively more work in biology and
somewhat less in the related sciences.
Option I: 38 credits in biology, including 11, 12, 72, and two terms of
seminar; introductory chemistry (Chem. 15, 16; or 5, 6) and two terms
or organic chemistry (Chem. 51, 52); one year of physics (Physics 21,
22, 23); two terms of calculus (Math. 41, 42) in addition to introductory
math. Note: Medical schools also normally require quantitative analysis
(Chem. 53).
Option 11: 46 credits in biology, including 11,12, 72, one additional course
in the 70 series, and two terms of seminar; four terms of chemistry,
normally introductory chemistry (Chem. 15, 16; or 5, 6) and either two
terms of organic Chemistry (Chem. 51, 52) or one term of organic
chemistry (Chem. 23) and one term of analytical chemistry (Chem.
53); introductory mathematics (Math. 13, 14; or Math. 40; or equivalent).
Minor: 30 credits in biology including 11 and 12; introductory chemistry
(Chem. 15, 16; or 5, 6).
Biology 1, 3, 4, 6 and 8 do not count toward a major or minor in biology.
Biology 1and 6 satisfy the general education requirement in science; for
this purpose Biology 1must precede Biology 6.
H I PRINCIPLES OF BIOLOGY
5 crs.

Majors in this department supplement the liberal arts program with
general and specialized knowledge in business and economic affairs.
The business administration major offers a basic core of courses, and
then allows the student to choose a limited specialization in accounting
or finance, and hence to prepare for careers in these fields. The
economics major concentrates on fundamental theoretical and policy
matters so that the student learns to analyze economic issues. He
is prepared thereby for graduate study in economics. Either of these
majors also can provide the background needed for general administrative careers in business, government, or various public and private
institutions. In particular, either major could be the basis for graduate
study in such fields as hospital and public administration, industrial
relations, or law.

PHYSICS Recognizing the importance of physics in contemporary life and realizing
that keeping abreast of the rapid advances in some areas is almost
impossible, although necessary, it is the desire of the department to
bring to the students not only the basic concepts, but also insights
into recent developments. By so doing it is hoped that challenges will
arise, be met, and so stimulate sound thinking, perceptive judgment,
and an interest in experimental techniques. To this end the department
prepares some students for graduate studies and some for the teaching
profession. The liberal arts tradition is served by offering courses that
will enable a student to follow developments with some degree of comprehension.

student on a Pass/No Credit basis. Students will be informed by the Registrar's Office a t each registration day
of the courses which may not be taken under the system.

July 21 through August 8, during which additional five credits may
be earned.
Most courses will meet mornings, Monday through Friday. Others
will meet for longer periods two evenings a week, in order to accommodate part-time students employed during the day.
Eligible to attend Augsburg summer school are present students
and graduates of Augsburg and other accredited colleges and universities, as well as recent high school graduates whose class
standing and scores in college aptitude examinations indicate a
high probability of success in college work.
Courses to be offered during the summer sessions will be determined, in part, by demand. Most will not require prerequisites. In
addition to formal classes, provisions are being made for independent study in several areas, and for individual instruction in
voice and instrumental music.
For 1968, summer tuition for 8-10 credits is $220.00, plus a registration fee of $5.00. The latter fee will, however, be waived for
those completing registration not later than June 14. Private lessons will be charged separately.

LAW
College preparation for law school is flexible, and does not require
a specific course of study or a particular major. Students considering law as a profession are urged to study the requirements and
suggested curricula for the following majors:
American Studies, pages 50 and 108.
English, pages 68 and 114.
History, pages 34 and 116.
Political Science, pages 92 and 121.
While any of the above majors is appropriate as a pre-law curriculum, other majors are also highly acceptable. For most law
schools a broad background in the liberal arts constitutes a better
preparation than specialization and expertise in narrower fields.
While not all law schools require a baccalaureate degree as a
condition for admission, it is normally to the advantage of the
student to have completed his undergraduate degree program.
Nearly all law schools in the United States require applicants
to take a standardized Law School Admission Test, administered
several times each year a t prescribed times.
Students interested in law as a possible vocation should contact
the pre-law adivsor, chairman of the Department of Political Science.
MATHEMATICS MAJOR
The following course of study is designed for students who have a
strong background in mathematics from high school. Students who
lack this background may need to complete Mathematics 13, 14
before registering for Mathematical Analysis.

MEDICINE
Since mo'st pre-medical students at Augsburg have gone to the
Medical School of the University of Minnesota, the following is
based on its requirements for admission. Information for other
medical schools may be obtained from "Medical School Admissions Requirements," published by the Association of American
Medical Colleges, and available in the Augsburg library. It is the
responsibility of the individual student to see that he has completed
the requirements for admission to the medical schools to which he
intends to make application.
The "Minimum Requirements" for the Medical School, University
of Minnesota, as translated into courses a t Augsburg College, are
as follows:
Credits

Medical schools emphasize the word "minimum" in listing their
minimum requirements. In addition to the required and recommended courses listed, pre-medical students are encouraged to
take a t least two additional courses in biology and one course in
psychology. Some medical schools require or strongly recommend
this work. Broad studies in the liberal arts are highly desirable.
Pre-medical students normally complete a major in either biology
or chemistry. The minimum requirements for a biology major are
shown under Department of Biology; for a chemistry major under
Department of Chemistry. Students are strongly urged to consult
these departments early for advice on scheduling these majors.

more advanced training. A student who has had similar courses
in high school may be admitted to advanced classes on the basis
of his proficiency in the subject. An outline of the requirements for
teaching business subjects in high school appears under Business
Education.
A secretarial-work certificate is awarded on completion of the twoyear program.
A student in the two-year program must select three courses from
the general education requirement making a total of 90 credits.

Completion of the pre-seminary curriculum is intended to prepare
the student for admission into a theological seminary course. The
following program gives the approximate pre-seminary course. It
does not specify a major or a minor. The student should seek the

Greetings from the Academic Affairs Office
Welcome to graduate studies at Augsburg College. We are committed to education that prepares people for leadership
in their communities and places of work. We believe that learning based upon intentional integration of the liberal and
professional arts and sciences provides the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of
today and tomorrow.
We expect our graduate students to achieve tangible and measurable outcomes from their studies at Augsburg:
specialized knowledge in a field of study, applied and collaborative learning, advanced intellectual skills (especially in
engaging diverse perspectives and communication fluency), and demonstrated civic and global learning.
When you join Augsburg, you become part of a community that offers lifelong learning opportunities in state-of-the-art
physical and online classrooms with accessible libraries and dedicated faculty and staff. Our locations in vital
metropolitan areas and the opportunities we provide for international travel offer exciting and challenging real-life
learning. Cities and countries become extended campuses for Augsburg students. Additionally, the diversity in our own
campus community ensures that our graduates are prepared for the range of experiences and perspectives that
characterize today’s global environment.
All of our graduate programs share distinctive qualities, including our commitment and mission to be of service, with
one another and to our neighbors. Inspired by the faith of our Lutheran founders to be inclusive to the early immigrants
who came to Augsburg’s doors, we welcome a diversity of cultures and faiths. And, we encourage interdisciplinary
courses and opportunities for you to study with colleagues across disciplines.
At the same time, each graduate program also has its own “neighborhood” and unique features. You join a body of
experienced people that expands your network of employer connections and career opportunities. We encourage our
alumni to become your mentors and build on our city and global connections through public events, including our
convocations and our annual, internationally-recognized Nobel Peace Prize Forum.
We are companions on your journey in fulfilling your dream of a graduate degree and we cannot wait to meet you.
Sincerely,
Lori A. Peterson
Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate and Professional Studies

About Augsburg
At Augsburg College, we believe that graduate education should prepare gifted people for positions of leadership in
their communities and places of work. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major
field of study, but also the ability to apply critical thinking, problem solving, and advanced communication skills in a
collaborative approach within that discipline, thereby engaging others with diverse perspectives in the work of
advancing civic and global initiatives critical for a sustainable future.
The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg mission, informed by the liberal and professional arts and sciences,
to serve our neighbors in the heart of the city and out into the world with faith-based, ethical values. We welcome
students from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Also, our programs look to the world through international
courses and cultural exchanges.
Mission Statement
Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to
the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission:
Augsburg College 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.
Augsburg Today
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, Minnesota in 1872. A Rochester, Minnesota campus was added in 2002. A short history of
Augsburg College can be found at www.augsburg.edu/about/history.
Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of its founders who believed:
•
•
•
Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically
and broadly about the world and the work we do in it.
An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and centers of faith.
The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment.
The vision of the College’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.

A Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s graduate programs is participation in a community of adult learners. This community
is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of
community interaction, Augsburg encourages students to make use of all College facilities, whether a student in
Minneapolis or Rochester, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and
lecture/speaker events.
Graduate Faculty
The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and
commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching and
service to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of
research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic
faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories.
Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as
academic advisors and participate regularly in campus activities.

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 College 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
College. The student must request to review their education records in writing with their signature. The College 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.
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 College in an
10
administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel
and health staff); person or company with whom the College 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 College 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 College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or
organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused.

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.

an equivalent degree from outside the US.
All graduate students must submit completed applications. Each graduate program also has additional program

director approval, and the student must be in good standing at all previously attended institutions.
To be considered for admission as a special student (non-degree), the items listed below must be submitted to the
Admissions Office. Some programs may have additional requirements.
•
•
Completed special-status application for admission
An official transcript of undergraduate and/or last degree earned. A bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited
institution is the minimum requirement for admission. Students who have earned a degree outside the US must
have their transcript evaluated to confirm it is equivalent to a US bachelor’s degree or greater.
If a non-degree seeking student is pursuing regular admission status into the program; he or she should submit an
application requesting regular admission to that program and submit the additional materials needed for regular
admission to that program. Special student status is conferred for only one term of enrollment. Additional terms require
reapplication as a special student (non-degree). Students may count up to 6-8 semester credits earned as a special
student (non-degree) toward an Augsburg College degree with approval of the program director.
International Students Admission
Augsburg College graduate programs encourage qualified applicants from other countries to apply.
An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a “full course of study” to achieve a specific educational or
professional objective at an academic institution in the United States that has been designated by the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of study to such students, and has been enrolled in SEVIS (Student and
Exchange Visitor Information System).
A student acquires F-1 status using form I-20, issued by a DHS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in one
of two ways:
•
•
If the student is abroad, by entering the United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a US consulate.
If the student is already in the United States and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the I-20 to USCIS (United
States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an application for change of nonimmigrant status.
13
A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer from another DHS-approved school to Augsburg by following
the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations.
In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students
must also comply with the following:

Financial Aid
All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must establish financial aid eligibility on an annual basis.
This includes completing the application process as outlined below and making satisfactory academic progress. In order
to maintain eligibility in financial aid programs, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the

Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of grants and loans. The College cooperates with
federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs.
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.
16
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).
Institutional Grants/Discounts
Augsburg offers grants/discounts for a variety of different students. Specific information about the different grants and
scholarships, along with eligibility requirements, can be found online at
http://www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts/
Loan Assistance
Graduate students must be enrolled at least half-time in order to receive federal loans. Three semester credits per term
is considered half-time. Six semester credits per term is considered full-time.
•
Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Student Loan
o
•

and be capitalized (added to the balance of the loan).
Federal Graduate Loan Program (PLUS)
o
Graduate PLUS is a loan program to help graduate students meet college costs. Students may borrow up to the
cost of attendance (minus all other student financial aid).
Further information about loan programs can be found online at http://www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
Federal regulations require that all higher education institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether
students [1] receiving financial aid [2] 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.
Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress
1) Minimum GPA requirements
Undergraduate Students
Students must maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA based on the entire academic record.
Graduate Students
Students must maintain a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA based on the entire academic record.
2) Minimum Credits Completed
Undergraduate Students
Students must earn a cumulative 67% of the credits attempted based on the entire academic record. A completed credit
has a grade of 4.0 – 0.5 or P. Credits earned and completed will include accepted cumulative transfer credits as defined
by the Registrar’s Office. Unsatisfactory grades “W (Withdrawn),” “I (Incomplete),” “F (Zero),” and “N (Not Passing)” are
counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. Repeat Courses and remedial courses are not counted towards the
cumulative attempted credits.
Graduate Students
Students must earn a cumulative 67% of the credits attempted based on the entire academic record. A completed credit
has a grade of 4.0 – 2.5 or P. Credits earned and completed will include accepted cumulative transfer credits as defined
by the Registrar’s Office. Unsatisfactory grades “W (withdrawn),” “I (Incomplete),” “F (Zero),” and “N (Not Passing)” are
counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. Repeat Courses and remedial courses are not counted towards the
cumulative attempted credits.
17
3) Maximum Time Frame
Undergraduate Students
To demonstrate academic progress, undergraduate students must complete their degree objective within 150% of the
length of the program. In the CORE Curriculum, a student needs a minimum of 32 credits to graduate with a bachelor’s
degree. For those under the CORE Curriculum, they may not exceed attempting 49 credits. For students under the
Perspectives and Skills Curriculum, a student cannot exceed attempting 52 credits.
A student who reaches the 150% maximum time frame to complete their degree due to a change in major will need to
notify the Student Financial Services Office in order to continue to receive financial aid.
Graduate Students
To demonstrate academic progress, graduate students must complete their degree objective within 150% of the length
of the program.
Requirements to Meet Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards
1) Cumulative GPA
Undergraduate Students
Students who are not meeting the GPA SAP standard will need to follow the Academic Probation standards set forth by
Augsburg College Registrar’s Office. The student must maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA or higher.
Graduate Students
Students who are not meeting the GPA SAP standard must maintain a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA or higher.
2) Minimum Credits Attempted
Undergraduate and Graduate students earning less than 67% credits attempted must be enrolled at least half-time,
must earn all attempted credits, cannot withdraw from any of the courses, and must achieve a minimum grade of 2.0 or
better in each course.
3) Maximum Time Frame
Undergraduate and Graduate students must complete and attain their degree within the 150% of the length of the
program.
Monitoring and Evaluating Progress
In order to ensure SAP standards are being met, the office of Student Financial Services will evaluate and monitor the
students’ academic achievement at the end of each term. After the student’s record is evaluated and the Student
Financial Services Office determined the student to be unsatisfactory, the student will be placed on Financial Aid
Warning or Financial Aid Probation. Students will be notified through their Augsburg email if they fail to meet SAP
standards.
Financial Aid Warning
A student who fails to meet SAP standards will be placed on Financial Aid Warning for the following term of enrollment.
Students placed on Financial Aid Warning will still be eligible to receive financial aid. A student on Financial Aid Warning
must work with the designated Financial Aid Counselor to submit an academic plan. Financial Aid Warning will conclude
when the student meets SAP standards, or guidelines set forth in the academic plan. Students currently on Financial Aid
Warning who do not meet the standards at the end of the term will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. Students can
continue to be placed on Financial Aid Warning for periods longer than one term on a case by case basis and/or as
determined by the Student Financial Services Office.
Financial Aid Probation
A student who fails to meet either the minimum GPA requirement or minimum credits attempted while on Financial Aid
Warning will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. A student on Financial Aid Probation is ineligible to receive any form
of financial aid. A student on Financial Aid Probation may submit an appeal to reinstate their financial aid, and if the
18
appeal is approved, the student must work with the designated Financial Aid Counselor to submit an academic plan.
Financial Aid Probation will conclude when the student meets SAP standards, or guidelines set forth in the academic
plan. Students can continue to be placed on Financial Aid Probation for periods longer than one term on a case by case
basis and/or determined by the Student Financial Services Office.
Financial Aid will be suspended when a student placed on Financial Aid Probation does not meet SAP standards. Because
grades may not be available before the beginning of the next scheduled term, it is possible that financial aid may be
disbursed to a student before the review can be conducted. In the event that a student is found to be ineligible for the
financial aid that has been disbursed due to a failure to meet one of the Standards, the aid that was disbursed will be
canceled, and returned to the appropriate program(s).
Right to Appeal
Students who have had their financial aid suspended may submit the SAP Appeal Form to the Student Financial Services
Office. The appeal must be submitted within 7 days of notification of unsatisfactory status or by the due date given on
the appeal letter. The SAP Appeal Form must be completely filled out, along with any additional documents required by
the Committee. The appeal should state reasons why the student failed to meet SAP standards, and what changed for
the student that will allow the student to demonstrate progress towards meeting SAP standards. The appeal will be
decided by the SAP Committee. All decisions made by the Committee are final.
[1] Include all degree seeking students in both the Undergraduate Day and Augsburg for Adults, and all Graduate
programs.
[2] Financial Aid is defined as: Augsburg Institutional Aid, Federal Title IV funding, and Minnesota State Financial Aid
programs.
Financial Policies
Registration is permitted only if the student’s account for a previous term is paid in full or if the student is making
scheduled payments in accordance with an approved payment plan.
Augsburg College will not release student academic transcripts or graduation diplomas/certificates until all student
account charges are paid in full or, in the case of student loan funds administered by the College (Federal Perkins
Student Loan), are current according to established repayment schedules and the loan entrance and exit interviews have
been completed.
Tuition Refund Policy
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 Financial Petition Committee. 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.
19
Unofficial Withdrawal
Federal regulations require that records of financial aid recipients who earn failing grades in all their classes be
reviewed. If courses are not completed (e.g., unofficial withdrawal, stopped attending), the College is required to refund
financial aid to the appropriate sources according to federal or Augsburg refund policies based on the last recorded date
of attendance. Students are responsible for the entire cost of the term including the portion previously covered by
financial aid should they stop attending. Students are strongly urged to follow guidelines for complete withdrawal from
college. If there are extenuating circumstances, a petition to have the cost of tuition refunded can be made. Petition
forms are available online through the Registrar’s Office website.
A student who registers, does not attend any classes, and does not withdraw may petition to withdraw retroactively.
The student must petition within six months of the end of term and provide proof of non-attendance. Proof can include,
but is not limited to, statements from each instructor that the student never attended, or documentation of attendance
for the term at another college or university. If approved, grades of W will be recorded and tuition charges for the term
will be replaced with an administrative cancellation fee of $300.
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 Aid Policy
Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester. A student can earn their aid by attending classes,
or in the event of hybrid/online courses, be an active participant in the course.
Federal/State Aid Adjustments
Augsburg is required to return unearned federal/state aid for students who fully withdraw from their courses. Student
are eligible to keep more aid the longer they attend their courses. After 60% of the term has passed, students are
eligible to keep all of their federal/state aid. See the dates below. 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.
Institutional Aid Adjustments
Augsburg will return institutional aid for students who partially withdrawal or fully withdraw from courses if the student
received. 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.
Credit Refund Policy
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 (You can verify your financial aid status online through Track Your Financial Aid and applied to a
student’s account (Check your Transaction History online to verify all of your financial aid has been applied to your
account and nothing is left pending) before the Credit Refund can be issued.
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 credit 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 30-45 days to be processed.
20

LOSS OF FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY DUE TO A DRUG OFFENSE
A student, who is 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:

Student Resources/Academic and Support Services
Library and Information Technology Services
The James G. Lindell Family Library opened in 1997. The four-level, 73,000-square-foot facility houses the library and
information technology functions of the College as well as the Gage Center for Student Success. In addition to its large
collection of print volumes, e-books, and e-journals, Lindell Library includes special collections and archives, a curriculum
library, a computer lab and student computing help desk, a library instruction classroom, and facilities for media viewing
and listening. Skyways link the library to Oren Gateway Center and Sverdrup Hall.
Learning Commons
Within Lindell Library, a Learning Commons provides assistance in research and the use of technology as well as spaces
for collaborative learning. In the Learning Commons multimedia lab, students can create digital audio and visual
projects.
Library Resources
Students can search a wide variety of local, regional, national, and international databases. They have access to 27,000
e-journals, 18,000 e-books, and 190,000 print volumes within Lindell Library and, through a daily courier service, access
to the library holdings of six other private liberal arts colleges in the Twin Cities. In addition, Lindell Library has a large
collection of media resources. A service-oriented staff provides students and faculty with research assistance and
instruction in the use of information resources. Arrangements are made for access by students with physical limitation
and special needs.
Information Technology Resources
Augsburg College has built a reputation as a leader in its commitment to provide students with relevant and timely
access to information technology and training. Visit the Student Technology website, inside.augsburg.edu/techdesk, for
more on Information Technology at Augsburg.
Computing
Students have access to more than 250 on-campus computers. Both PC and Macintosh desktop computers are available
in the Lindell Library Learning Commons and computer lab, and in the 24-hour Urness computer lab. The College has five
computer classrooms, 41 technology-enhanced classrooms and one video conferencing-enabled classroom. The

Several computer clusters are available for more specific student use within academic departments. A high-speed fiber
optic campus network provides access to AugNet online services, printing, and to the internet. Network-ready student
machines can connect to the campus network from residence hall rooms or any building on campus using WiFi. All of the
AugNet online services are available securely on- and off-campus.
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, and other cognitive disabilities, and for students
with physical disabilities which may include TBI, chronic illness, mobility impairments, and vision, hearing or speech
impairments, and temporary disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain
access to the college curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and
challenging, yet supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds, preparations, and experiences.
Each term, Disability Specialists work directly with students to discuss their disabilities and determine a plan for
academic access. Typically, meetings are held weekly 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
23
•
•
Assistance with academic, organizational, and time management skills
Campus living accommodations
The Disability Specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisors, and other members of the College faculty,
staff, or administration to support each student as they work toward success. Taking advantage of these opportunities
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 appropriate documentation. 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 curricular components of an institution’s courses or programs.
CLASS services are made possible in part through endowment support provided by the Gage family and the Groves
Foundation.

Academic Programs and Policies
Academic Calendars
All of our graduate programs meet on a semester calendar. Academic Calendars can be found at
www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change without notice.
Academic Policies
The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the
American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges.
Academic Honesty
A college is a community of learners whose relationship relies on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity
and credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg College community. Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a
College requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student
pledging to abide by the College’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity.
(See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide)
Evaluation and Grading
Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0
achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for details of field study and special projects. Students must
achieve a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards
Policy. Grading option cannot be changed from traditional (0.0 - 4.0) to Pass/No Credit.

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. Graduate students will be charged an audit fee of $1,000. The written permission 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 towards graduation.
Withdrawal 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.
25
Incomplete (I) Grades
An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student
emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of
passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a
student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Registrar’s Office that states the reasons for the
request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The
instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; 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 the filing of a grade
before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the
specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0.
Extension (X) Grades
Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case,
they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A
grade of X (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 instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being
maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not
longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not
demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned.
Repeated Courses
A course in which a grade of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which
higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken each
term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades
earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point
average. Courses completed at Augsburg College must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat policy.
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade
points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not
computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is:
GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted, i.e., courses with 0.0 to 4.0 grade assigned.
Attendance
Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation
may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students
to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements
to address the needs of particular courses, individual students, or various learning styles.
Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the
professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible,
students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible.
Non-Attendance/Non-Participation
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. 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 and Academic/Financial Petition.
Graduate Continuation Policy
Students registering for the final project course must complete the Final Project Registration/Graduate Continuation
Contract by the last day to add with faculty signature for a Full Semester class as noted on the Academic Calendar. Upon
26
receipt of the contract, the Registrar’s Office will enroll the student in the Continuation Program for 13 semesters. Entry
into the Continuation Program maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, including library and AugNet
Services.
Students can request an extension of up to 3 semesters beyond the initial 13 semesters to the program director by
completing the Graduate Continuation Extension Contract. Approval of the extension is at the discretion of the program
director. If a grade is not received and an extension has not been granted by the grading deadline of the 13th semester,
the grade will change from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project after receiving a failing grade must
meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students who are readmitted may
need to complete additional coursework and will need to pay tuition and fees for any additional courses. If/when the
final project course is completed, the new grade would replace the previous N grade.
Students may withdraw from the College, and thus from the Continuation Program and the final project course, at any
point during the continuation period and receive a W notation on the transcript for the final project course. Following a
withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and
program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional coursework and will need to pay full tuition
and fees for any additional courses. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would replace the
previous W grade.
Credit and Contact Hours
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.
All Augsburg programs follow the semester calendar with semester lengths from 14-16 weeks. Augsburg offers a
summer semester which follows the same format as both fall and spring semester. Students must take at least 3 credits
to be considered half-time, and 6 or more credits to be considered full-time. Students may take up to 22 credits.
Degree Requirements
To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following:
•
•
•
Successful completion of all required courses
A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy.
Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed
continuation agreement with Augsburg College.
Probation and Dismissal
Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the
student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be
restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistant must consult
the PA Program Progression Standards Policy.
A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more
terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out
with the program director.
Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the
College.
Dismissal Appeals Process
A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the College’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are
limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate negatively affected the outcome.
The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard copy of the statement of appeal to the Assistant Vice
President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate Studies (AVP-Graduate Studies); email is not acceptable. The
statement must identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The
27
statement of appeal will be the only basis of the student’s appeal. The AVP-Graduate Studies must receive the student’s
statement of appeal within 14 calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal.
The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the statement of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must
submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within 15 business days of the date that the statement was
received by the AVP-Graduate Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVPGraduate Studies. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the program’s response to the student.
The AVP-Graduate Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the AVP-Graduate
Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty members (one from programs not named in the appeal:
Business, Creative Writing, Education, Leadership, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, Social Work). The Program
Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s statement of
response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures and ask
questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each bring
a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg College faculty member, staff member, or student). The role
of the third party representative is to provide support to the student or the program representative, not to serve as an
advocate during the meeting.
Dropping or Withdrawing
Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or with a Registration Form. To
see the drop and withdrawal deadlines, see the Academic Calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar.
Independent Study
Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty
sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director
in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered
in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special independent study registration form
is required and is available on the Registrar’s Office website.
Term Off
Students may take a term off for up to two semesters and have continued access to Augsburg e-mail and AugNet
Services. If a student is not registered after 10th day of the third semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the
student will need to submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll.
For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of
program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their advisor and obtain the
advice of their director.
Evaluation of Transfer Credit
Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit
will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide appropriate documentation regarding
previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be
considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university institution and graded 3.0/B
or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program
requirements at Augsburg.
The maximum number of semester credits that can be transferred is:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Master of Arts in Education (6)
Master of Arts in Leadership (6)
Master of Arts in Nursing (9)
Master of Business Administration (18)
Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (12)
Master of Music Therapy (Contact program director)
28
•
•
•
Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator)
Master of Social Work (22)
Doctor of Nursing Practice (Contact program director)
Augsburg credits are calculated in semester hours. If you completed courses at other institutions that are quarter hours,
they will be converted to semester hours. One quarter hour equates to two-thirds of a semester hour.
Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded 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.

Master of Arts in Education
Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and
elsewhere. The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program combines our excellent undergraduate licensure program
with a master’s level focus on teacher leadership, preparing teachers to serve K-12 students effectively and to nurture
healthy change within schools and school systems.
Our Philosophy
The Education Department program themes include relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and
leadership. One of these themes is lived out within the MAE program —leadership. As this program theme suggests, we
expect our students to leave our programs as responsive, knowledgeable teachers prepared to exercise leadership in the
classroom and, eventually, the school and community.
Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through a combination of course content, field
experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students will leave our programs as collaborative and capable
teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world.
Our Faculty
Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors, all of whom
have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all full-time faculty
members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision, volunteer
work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do. We value
good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers.
Our Accessibility
We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and personal
responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of
licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings to allow you to manage these responsibilities while
pursuing your goals. You will need to be available during the weekday for the challenge and responsibility of field
experiences, but education coursework is accessible through the evening schedules*.
As a student in Augsburg’s Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among
interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly-qualified teacher—
the teacher you can become.
*As of Fall 2014 our programs are transitioning from a weekend to an evening schedule. New students will be in the
evening program. For the time being, end of program MAE degree completion options will remain on the weekend
schedule.
Education Department Mission
The mission of the Augsburg Education Department is to develop responsive, knowledgeable teachers committed to
educating all learners in a diverse and changing world.
Program Themes
Responsive, knowledgeable teachers understand the dynamic interaction among relationships, reflection and inquiry,
diversity and equity, and leadership. These four interrelated program themes provide lenses through which we filter our
practice.
Relationships
Learning is relational and communal. Responsive teachers create significant relationships with their students,
colleagues, and community partners by developing learning communities. These nurturing learning communities provide
safe, trustworthy places where challenging and engaging questions can be considered. We model the kinds of learning
communities that we expect our graduates to create. We share with our students a learning model that connects
30
content, theory, and practice in an ongoing cycle. Students and their learning are the focus for responsive teachers.
Therefore we embrace and foster a progressive and constructivist orientation.
Reflection and Inquiry
Responsive teachers are reflective practitioners who are students of teaching and learning. Providing numerous
frameworks through which to filter our experience encourages intentional and thoughtful inquiry. Through field
placements, service learning, generative questions, and classroom experiences, students and faculty develop their
perspectives about teaching and learning. Critical reflection allows us to examine content, theory, and practice in ways
that transform our practice. We think it is important to understand and learn how to manage the many polarities
inherent in the teaching and learning process.
Diversity and Equity
Responsive teachers embrace diversity and intentionally work to ensure that all learners, especially those who for some
reason have been marginalized, learn and develop in powerful ways. We continually reflect on what it means to be a
“school in the city.” We recognize that each student is unique, shaped by culture and experience; therefore,
differentiating instruction is essential. The perspective of multiple intelligences, learning style theory and teaching for
understanding help us differentiate and enable us to provide choice, variety, and flexibility. Responsive teachers believe
that all students can learn. They also have a sense of efficacy and believe that they can help all students learn.
Leadership
Responsive teachers recognize that becoming a learning leader is a developmental process, which begins in pre-service
education and continues throughout one’s career. Teachers serve as leaders within the classroom, and with experience,
increased confidence, and professional development become leaders within the school, the district, and the community.
Teacher leaders view themselves as lifelong learners. They become role models committed to their profession as a
vocation rather than a job. Emerging teacher leaders keep student learning at the center of their work while advocating
for instructional innovation, constructivist curricular development, and systemic change.
Master of Arts in Education Conceptual Framework
Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion program. The
Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their
institutions and communities.
The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the
combined undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as
well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students
are required to include coursework focused on leadership and study aspects of leadership as part of their degree
program. Third, the final project—be it an action research, a leadership application project, or performance assessment
—gives students the opportunity to study an issue of concern and, supported by research, define a means for addressing
it.
Three Teacher Leadership Aspirations inform our program. They are as follows:
Aspiration 1: Teacher leaders value learning for personal and professional growth. Teacher leaders share knowledge
effectively with colleagues. We believe that teacher leaders are comfortable with their knowledge and expertise,
neither flaunting it nor hiding it, but sharing it with others generously. They work to build bridges with a full range of
colleagues, but they don’t let recalcitrant colleagues stop their own development. They see learning as a continuous
endeavor and seek it throughout their careers.
Aspiration 2: Teachers leaders think big—beyond the classroom to the broader context of education and community.
We believe that teacher leaders see systems and the “big picture” and are able to put their classrooms, schools, and
communities into a broader context. They understand the link between policies, politics, and education and participate
in change efforts at the macro and micro levels. They seek to work with administrators to establish school and district
policy that improves life for everyone. If this involves political action, they are prepared to engage in it. Teacher leaders
also understand that teaching and learning are dynamic and that change within school systems is an ever-present
31
phenomenon. They are informed decision-makers predisposed to take on the challenge of change when they think it
benefits students, teachers, and/or community.
Aspiration 3: Teacher leaders possess courage and an orientation to action. We believe that teacher leaders help
others not be afraid. They are able to help people to take warranted risks and step outside their comfort zones. They
have the courage to bring people together to see the bigger picture and then help people get there. Teacher leaders
accept both power and accountability. They understand that responsibility without power diminishes potential for
effectiveness. They believe that accountability is a fair trade for the power to take effective action. They operate from a
foundation of self-efficacy.
Program Overview
The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) is designed to provide a teaching license as part of a master’s degree program. K12 initial teaching licenses offered at Augsburg include:
•
•
•
•
Elementary education (K-6), with or without a middle school content area endorsement in math, communication
arts, social studies, or science. Also available is the pre-primary endorsement to the elementary license. Subject
matter courses for these endorsements may need to be taken in the weekday schedule or at a community college
when unavailable through evening course work.
Secondary education (5-12 and K-12) in social studies, communication arts/literature, visual arts, health,
mathematics, music, and physical education; and 9-12 in biology, chemistry, and physics. Subject matter courses for
these licenses may need to be taken in the weekday schedule or at a community college when unavailable through
evening course work.
K-12 English as a Second Language
K-12 Special Education: Academic Behavior Strategist
Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE degree through the following four licensure endorsement
options:
•
•
•
•
K-12 English as a Second Language
K-12 Special Education: Academic Behavior Strategist
K-12 Reading
Pre-Primary (This is an endorsement only to K-6 elementary licenses)
All teachers seeking licensure through Augsburg must take and pass all tests required by the state of Minnesota for
licensure.
Accreditations and Approvals
Augsburg College Teacher Education programs are accredited and approved by:
•
•
National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE)
Minnesota Board of Teaching. (MN BOT)
Augsburg College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and
Schools. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the listing in the
Accreditation, Approvals, and Memberships section of this catalog.
Program Structure
The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program is made up of a core of education licensure courses at the graduate level
coupled with a degree completion option. Courses in the degree completion phase are drawn from the Master of Arts in
Leadership (MAL) and graduate courses in education. Most students in the MAE program pursue a K-12 teaching license
as part of their program plan.
The MAE degree is also open to students who do not want a teaching license but do want a background in education
and leadership. See the MAE program director for details.
32
The MAE degree requires ten or eleven Augsburg graduate level courses, depending on the degree completion option. In
addition, several courses at the undergraduate level are required for licensure. Only courses taken at the graduate level
apply towards the MAE degree.
Credit
MAE graduate level courses are offered for 3 semester credits. Each course is comprised of 37.5 instructional hours with
the expectation of about 75 hours of independent study outside of class.
Schedule
The majority of the education courses in the MAE licensure and degree programs are offered through the evening
schedule. Courses during the evening meet face to face every other week with online instruction during the alternate
weeks. A few education courses and many undergraduate content area courses are offered in a face to face, classroom
based format, meeting weekly in the evenings. The MAL and education degree completion courses are offered primarily
in a weekend schedule through a mix of face-to-face and online instruction. Summer session courses are offered
primarily weekday evenings. Summer courses are offered in a mix of formats from all online to all face-to-face.
The following teaching licenses are available entirely through the evening and summer schedule: elementary education,
pre-primary endorsement, 5-12 social studies, 5-12 communication arts, K-12 art, K-12 special education, and K-12
English as a second language. For the time being, the K-12 Reading Teacher endorsement and degree completion
courses are offered in hybrid form through a weekend framework.
Additional licenses in the following areas are available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, summer
schedules, and, occasional off-campus courses: biology, chemistry, health, mathematics, music, physical education, and
physics. For these licenses, the education and degree completion courses are taken weekday evenings and summer
while some, if not all, of the content area courses are taken during the weekday and/or off-campus.
The weekday evening schedule is comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. In
general, classes are held every other week, face to face with online instruction in the intervening week. The weekday
schedule is also comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. Classes offered during the
weekday meet one to three times per week. Classes offered jointly between weekday and weekend meet on a weekly
basis in the evening. The official academic calendars can be found at http://www.augsburg.edu/registrar/.
Curriculum—Teaching Licenses
K-6 Elementary Education
This program is designed to prepare teachers for grades K-6. Optional endorsements in middle school specialty areas of
math, science, social studies, and communication arts and in pre-primary can be pursued along with or separately from
the K-6 license. The teaching license and some endorsements are offered at both undergraduate and graduate levels
through a mix of undergraduate courses and combined graduate and undergraduate courses. Graduate-level licensure
coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and have been admitted to
the MAE program.

*Field experience hours are required in these courses. Students spend 20 or more hours per term in field experiences.
These experiences occur in K-6 classrooms during the weekday. If more than one course with field experience is taken in
a given term, field experience requirements expand accordingly (i.e., two courses with 20 hours of field experience each
require a total of 40 hours).
Undergraduate Liberal Arts Requirements
The number of supporting content area courses required for licensure depends upon the courses completed as part of
the bachelor’s degree and/or other coursework. Requirements are determined by Minnesota licensure standards for
specific college-level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary
licensure. Specific requirements are on file in the Education Department.
Minnesota licensure standards allow for optional subject area endorsements in communication arts/literature, social
studies, math, and science. Subject matter courses for these endorsements will be available through a combination of
weekday, evening and off-campus courses. The optional pre-primary endorsement is also available. Specific
requirements for these endorsements are on file in the Education Department.
Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or
better was achieved. The Education Department and the content area departments determine the courses that are
accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. Courses that are
older than five years are judged on a case-by-case basis. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is
not automatically accepted into the MAE degree. The program has limits on the amount and type of courses that are
accepted. Grades of B or better are required for transfer consideration. See the MAE program director for approval of
graduate coursework accepted in transfer.
Preprimary Endorsement for Elementary Licensure
This endorsement can be added to a K-6 elementary license. Required courses include the following:
PSY 250 - Child Development (PSY 105 is a prerequisite for this course)
SOC 231 - Family Systems: Cross Cultural Perspectives
or SPE 490/540 - Parent and Professional Planning (Graduate students take SPE 540.)
ECE 345/545 - Foundations of Preprimary Education
ECE 346/546 - Learning Environments for Preprimary-Aged Children
ECE 347/547 - Immersion and Teaching Competence
ECE 488, 489 - Student Teaching: Preprimary
K-12 and 5-12 Secondary Education
K-12 and 5-12 licenses in several content areas are offered through a combination of graduate and undergraduate
coursework. K-12 licenses prepare teachers to teach a content area across elementary, middle school, and high school.
Licenses for grades 5- 12 prepare teachers to teach at the middle and high school levels. Graduate-level licensure
coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet MAE admissions
criteria.
34
Subject matter courses in the following majors are offered on weekday evenings and summer: English, communications
(for communication arts), history or economics or psychology (for social studies), art. Students seeking 5–12 licensure in
social studies must complete a broad-based core of courses in the social studies in addition to a social science major.
Education courses for these licenses are also taken during weekday evenings and summer.
The following content area majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry,
physics, health, physical education, music, and mathematics. Students seeking licensure in any of these areas typically
will need to take additional content courses in the weekday schedule and off-campus. Students can obtain a 9-12 license
in physics, chemistry, or biology and have the option of adding the 5–8 general science to the 9-12 license. Students also
can obtain the 5–8 general science license without the 9–12 license. Education courses for these licenses are taken
during weekday evenings.
Licensure Requirements
The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for
licensure; four to seven of them also may be taken at the graduate level and applied toward the master’s degree in
education.
EDC 200/522 - Orientation to Education in an Urban Setting*
EDC 206/566 - Diversity/Minnesota American Indians
EDC 310/533 - Learning and Development in an Educational Setting*
EDC 410/544 - Learners with Special Needs*
EDC 490/580 - School and Society

To complete the license, students also will need to complete the following requirements at the undergraduate level:
HPE 115 - Chemical Dependency Education
EDC 220 - Educational Technology
ESE 3XX - K-12 or 5-12 Methods (in the content area)*
ESE 481, 483, 485 - Student Teaching: Secondary
ESE 488 - TPA and Student Teaching Seminar
*Field experience hours are required in these courses. A minimum of 100 hours in classrooms and education-related
settings is required prior to student teaching. Students spend approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences.
Undergraduate Content Area Requirements
The equivalent of a major in the licensure content area is required for K-12 and 5-12 licenses. Students who have
majored in a field in which we offer licensure must have their previous coursework evaluated by the major department
at Augsburg. Two or more content area courses tied to Minnesota licensure standards are generally required, even with
a completed academic major.
Previous coursework is evaluated by the content area department and accepted if it meets Minnesota licensure
standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. Coursework older than five years is judged on a case-by-case basis.
Specific course requirements for each content area are on file in the Education Department.
Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree program.
See the MAE program director for approval to use graduate level transfer courses in the degree program.
Special Education
Augsburg College offers licensure in K–12 Special Education: Academic Behavioral Strategist (ABS). This program
qualifies students to teach in special education programs and positions working with students with mild to moderate
disabilities in the areas of emotional/behavioral disabilities, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disabilities,
developmental and cognitive disabilities and other health disabilities. This program is built on an inclusive education
model. Under this model, students learn how to work closely with both special and general educators to facilitate
35
inclusion of special education students into the regular education classroom. Five years after being licensed, teachers
must extend their license in one of the above categories through additional coursework.
Also available is the Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort—this graduate licensure program in Special
Education: EBD/LD is designed and taught from an American Indian perspective. It is offered in collaboration with the
University of Minnesota-Duluth as a hybrid (partly face-to-face and partly online) cohort program. The licensure courses
can be applied towards the MAE degree. See the Education Department and http://www.augsburg.edu/mae/tribalspecial-education for more information.
The ABS licensure program is offered through weeknight and summer schedules. The Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special
Education Cohort program is offered primarily online with weekend sessions at the beginning and end of each semester.
Licensure Requirements
Licensure requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Classes will include both
undergraduate and graduate students, with graduate students having additional course responsibilities. Graduate
courses are taken at the 500 level. All courses must be taken for licensure, and up to seven courses may also be applied
toward the master’s degree in education. The following courses for the ABS license are offered at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels:

K-12 English as a Second Language (ESL) License
The K-12 English as a Second Language license is available as an initial license as well as an endorsement to an existing
license. This license qualifies teachers to work with K-12 students for whom English is a second language across a range
of subject areas. The K-12 ESL licensure program is comprised of both undergraduate and graduate courses; up to seven
of the graduate courses can apply to the completion of the MAE degree. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and
above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and have been admitted to the MAE program. A
pre-requisite to program admissions is two years of high school level or one year of college level language instruction.
The K-12 ESL program is offered in a hybrid format which means that courses are a mix of face to face and online
instruction. Classes are offered during the academic year in the evening semester framework and during summer
session to make them accessible to working adults. This license is also offered as an undergraduate major to Augsburg
Undergraduate (AU) students seeking a baccalaureate degree.
The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for
licensure, and up to seven also may be taken at the graduate level and applied toward the master’s degree in education.

K-12 Reading Teacher Endorsement
The K-12 Reading Endorsement provides teachers with existing teaching licenses an opportunity to expand their
knowledge and practice in the area of reading instruction and potentially provide leadership within schools and districts
in reading instruction. Candidates for this license will complete five classes that have been designed to meet the
requirements established for this license by the Minnesota Board of Teaching. Students may use these courses to fulfill
requirements for the Master of Arts in Education degree.
The K-12 Reading Teacher Endorsement program is offered in a hybrid format which means that courses are a mix of
face-to-face and online instruction. Classes are offered during summer sessions and within the weekend format during
the academic year. The endorsement program is designed to be completed within 12 months in a cohort model. Field
experiences at elementary, middle school and high school levels are required; student teaching is not required.
Required courses include:
EDC 500 - Reading Leadership in the K-12 Schools
EDC 506 - Readership, Literature, and New Literacies
EDC 515 - Reading Leadership: Reading Theory and Research*
EDC 535 - Reading Leadership: Assessment and Instruction with Elementary Readers*
EDC 545 - Reading Leadership: Assessment and Instruction with Middle and High School Readers*
*Field experience required
Student Teaching
Students are required to complete student teaching for initial and additional licenses (unless otherwise indicated). In the
MAE program, student teaching is generally completed before finishing the degree. Students can apply for licensure at
this point and finish the degree later. Student teaching for elementary, secondary, and K-12 initial licenses lasts 12-14
weeks, depending on licensure scope. During that time, students work full-time as student teachers and are supervised
by an Augsburg faculty member. Students register for eight to twelve semester credits of student teaching and a two
semester credit edTPA and student teaching seminar. They meet at Augsburg College for student teaching seminars
several times during the term. Most student teaching placements are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area and
Rochester. However, students do have the opportunity to student teach abroad, where students complete a 10-week
student teaching experience in the metro area and then complete another student teaching experience abroad.
Opportunities to teach abroad are available around the world, and it is a wonderful way to build a global perspective in
education. Additional information is available through the Education Department.
Student teaching for special education is 12 weeks in length for initial licenses and 7 weeks for those who already hold a
license. For students who are working in a special education setting appropriate to the ABS license, a student teaching
placement at that site may be possible, pending district approval. Additional information is available through the
Education Department.
Student teaching for ESL is 14 weeks in length and requires two placements, elementary and secondary. A single seven
week placement is required for those who already hold a license. See the Education Department for more information.
Student teaching is required for the preprimary endorsement and middle school endorsements. See the Education
Department for more information.
Curriculum—Graduate Degree Completion Options
Students take graduate coursework as part of the licensure program. This coursework forms the Master of Arts in
Education licensure core, with between four to seven Augsburg graduate-level licensure courses fulfilling master’s
requirements. Students bringing fewer than seven graduate-level licensure courses or 21 semester credits into the
degree program must complete additional Master of Arts in Leadership (ML) or education graduate courses to reach the
required 30-33 semester credits for the MAE degree.
To finish out the master’s degree, students will need to complete one of the following options.
38
Action Research Degree Completion Option (Minimum 30 credits)
This degree completion option requires a minimum of three classes totaling at least nine semester credits: a Master of
Arts in Leadership (ML) elective, EDC 592 Action Research 1, and EDC 593 Action Research 2. The action research courses
guide the student through completion of a long-term action research project, typically conducted in the student’s
classroom and focused on a question or concern identified by the student. The research is presented at an action
research symposium and a formal written report of the research is placed in Lindell Library. The coursework for action
research is designed to be completed in two semesters; the project itself is done once the research is presented at an
action research symposium and the paper is accepted for placement in Lindell Library. Additional terms beyond those in
which the courses are completed are available through continuing registration for up to 13 semesters at no further
charge.
Leadership Application Project (LAP) Degree Completion Option (Minimum 30 credits)
This option is currently suspended until further notice.
This degree completion option requires a minimum of three classes totaling at least nine semester credits: an ML
elective, EDC/ML 514 Research Methods - Education focus or ML 514 - Research Methods and EDC 585 - Leadership
Application Project. Students electing this degree completion option do so because they are interested in developing an
educational product that meets an identified need or because they are interested in conducting an independent
research project with the assistance of a faculty advisor. To be successful in this option, students must be self-directed
and able to maintain momentum without the structure of an actual course. The goal for the project varies, depending on
the type of LAP. There are two options within the LAP.
•
•
The goal for those developing an educational product is to identify an issue or problem related to their practice, and
after researching available literature, develop a solution to the problem or issue. The solution might be developed in
the form of a curriculum, a workshop, a set of informational materials, a website, an article for publication or other
appropriate educational product.
The goal for those conducting independent research is also to identify an issue or problem to investigate; but in this
case, the investigation is through an independent research project. For those conducting independent research, it is
especially important to have a clear vision in mind for the research and have an advisor who is willing to provide
support throughout the project. Students need a research background beyond what is provided within the MAE
program to be successful with this option.
Both options are completed through a final oral presentation and placement of the final paper in the Lindell Library.
Additional terms beyond those in which the courses are completed are available through continuing registration for up
to 13 semesters at no further charge.
Performance Assessment/Teacher Leadership Degree Completion Option (Minimum 33 credits)
This degree completion option focuses on the theme of the MAE degree program - teacher leadership - and requires a
minimum of the following four classes:
EDC 570 - Teacher Leadership
EDC/ML 514 - Research Methods (ML 514 can be substituted if necessary)
EDC 594 - Performance Assessment Project
One ML leadership-focused course, preferably from this list:
ML 510 - Visions of Leadership (when taught with an emphasis on leadership rather than literature)
ML 531 - Dynamics of Change
ML 535 - Organizational Theory and Leadership
ML 540 - Political Leadership: Theory and Practice
ML 545 - Decision Making and Leadership
ML 565 - Women and Leadership
Additional courses may also be used with approval of the MAE Director.
39
Students electing this degree completion option do so because they are especially interested in considering leadership
within the context of education and themselves as potential change agents. EDC 594 must be taken as the last course in
this sequence. Students finish their degree through this option with the successful completion of these four classes.
Alternate Settings—MAE in Rochester
In step with Augsburg College’s excellent reputation in the field of education, the Master of Arts in Education program is
also offered in Rochester, MN. Licenses are available in elementary education and special education: ABS. Classes
primarily meet weekday evenings and summer at Bethel Lutheran Church in Rochester.
Elementary education
The K-6 elementary education license allows students to teach in grade K-6. Augsburg College offers this license at the
graduate level to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet admissions requirements. Courses for this
license are available in Rochester.
Special education
The K-12 Academic Behavior Specialist (ABS) program is designed for students currently working with or planning to
work with students with mild to moderate special needs. The program leads to Minnesota teaching licensure in special
education and the ability to work with students whose special needs are categorized as EBD, LD, DCD, ASD, and/or OHI.
All courses for these licenses are available in Rochester.
The Performance Assessment degree completion option is offered in Rochester as needed, typically every other year.

Admission to MAE
Admission Requirements
Students admitted into the MAE licensure and degree programs must have:
•
•
Bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited four-year institution
Cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher (required for full admission for the graduate licensure option and
degree program). Students with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5-2.99 may be admitted conditionally into the
graduate licensure program. To be admitted to the MAE degree completion program, all students must have a 3.0 or
better Augsburg GPA.
Application Checklist
The following items must be sent to the Augsburg Office of Admissions:
•
•
•
Completed application form - www.augsburg.edu/admissions/mae/admissions
$35 non-refundable application fee
Personal summary outlining your tentative educational objectives and reasons for wanting to attend Augsburg
40
•
Official academic transcripts from all previously attended post-secondary institutions (including colleges,
universities, vocational/technical schools, and PSEO institutions) sent directly to the Admissions Office.
Admission as an International Student
International applicants must submit the required application materials listed above. Refer to the additional
requirements outlined in Admission of International Students.
Transfer Policy
Acceptance of previous education coursework completed at institutions other than Augsburg College is limited. Most
courses that have not been completed in the last seven years are considered to be too old to transfer and need to be
completed as part of one’s program at Augsburg. EDC 310/533 - Learning and Development, EDC 220 - Education
Technology, and ESE 3XX - K-12/5-12 Special Methods in Content Area are courses which may have a shorter acceptance
time frame. Additional information on the transfer policy is available through the Education Department.
Credit Evaluation: An official transfer credit evaluation of previous academic work will be completed as part of the
admissions process. Education coursework is evaluated by the Education Department. For secondary licenses, content
area coursework is evaluated by the content area department. This process is initiated as part of the admissions process.
Generally, the requirement is that two or more classes in the content area must be taken at Augsburg, even with an
undergraduate major in the field. In all cases, previous undergraduate courses must have received a grade of C or better
to be eligible for transfer. Previous graduate coursework must have received a grade of B or better to be considered.
Content area departments determine when courses are too old to be counted towards licensure.
Acceptance into the MAE Program
Application files are reviewed by the MAE director. Applicants are notified of the admission decision by the Office of
Admissions, usually within one to two weeks after the application file is complete. Applicants whose cumulative
undergraduate GPA is below 2.5 will not be admitted into the MAE program; however, these applicants can be
reconsidered when additional undergraduate coursework raises the cumulative undergraduate GPA to 2.5 or above. An
exception to this occurs when the applicant has completed an advanced degree with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better.
Under these circumstances, the applicant can be considered for full admission into the MAE degree and licensure
programs.
Advising and Registration
Admitted students are able to participate in academic advising and the registration process. Typically, first-term
registration occurs with intake advising. After the first term, students generally are able to register online through
Records and Registration. All students are assigned an Education Department advisor early in the first semester of
courses.
Academic Policies
Application to the Education Department
Once accepted to the College and the MAE program, students may take designated courses in education and content
areas. Prior to beginning the methods courses within a program, students must be admitted to the Education
Department. This admissions process is outlined in the EDC 200/522 - Orientation to Education and in admissions
handbooks, which are available through the Education Department.
Academic Achievement
All MAE students are expected to achieve and maintain 3.0 or better GPA in their Augsburg course work. Students
whose cumulative GPA falls between 2.5 and 2.99 at the end of their licensure program are able to complete the license
but are not eligible for the degree. Students with cumulative GPA’s below 2.5 may not student teach and are subject to
academic probation and possible dismissal.
In all cases, a cumulative GPA on the Augsburg graduate transcript must be at 3.0 or better to be admitted to the degree
completion component of the MAE degree. Students who are ready to begin the degree completion component must
file an Intent to Complete form (available through the MAE coordinator) at which point a transcript review is completed
41
to confirm the 3.0 or better GPA and to determine the completed courses that apply to the degree and the courses that
remain.
Minimum Grade Policy
Students who fail to maintain a cumulative 2.5 GPA in a given term are notified that they must raise their GPA to the
required level. Students who receive below a 2.0 in any undergraduate course or 2.5 in any graduate course required for
licensure are expected to repeat the course as soon as possible and raise the grade to the appropriate level.
Dismissal from Licensure and Degree Program
Students may be dismissed from the licensure program prior to and during student teaching for failure to maintain
appropriate academic and teaching-based performance standards, for gross violation of College policy, and/or for
conduct in violation of professional ethics. Dismissal occurs within the context of established department procedures
described in the Education Department Handbook available through the Education Department. Students have the right
to appeal dismissal from the licensure program on the grounds of procedural error, using the College’s program
dismissal appeals process. Information about the program dismissal appeals process is available in the Augsburg Student
Guide. Students who fail to complete the license may have the option to finish the degree.
Fieldwork Requirements
Fieldwork experiences are tied to several licensure courses. In most cases, these experiences are conducted within a
service-learning framework, providing service to the school and classroom while also providing students’ opportunities
for focused reflection linked back to course objectives. In general, students should plan for a minimum of 20 hours field
experience per term. When multiple courses with field experience are taken in the same term, the requirements expand
accordingly. Students in field experiences are evaluated by their host K-12 teachers on the basis of criteria drawn from
the Minnesota Standards of Effective Practice. Evaluations are kept in the students’ Education Department files and
used in decisions regarding progress through the program and student teaching. A full description of field experience
requirements is available in the Education Department Handbook.
Readmission and Withdrawal
Students in good standing who fail to register for courses for two terms (not including summer) are withdrawn from the
MAE program. To be readmitted to the College and the MAE program, students file a Readmission form through the
Registrar’s Office.
Program Costs
In addition to tuition, students in this program can expect to pay a data maintenance fee upon admission to the
department, as well as liability insurance at the student rate during student teaching and the cost of a background check
for licensure and, possibly, field experience. In addition, optional international travel courses have associated costs
above and beyond the charge for tuition.

Master of Arts in Leadership
MAL Mission
The purpose of the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program is to develop leaders for organizations, the community,
and society. Organizations seek leaders who possess:
•
•
•
•
•
An ethically and morally responsible vision
An understanding of how change occurs and how it can be managed
A sensitivity to the complex problems of organizations and an ability to find solutions consistent with their mission
Cultural competence and sensitivity to the needs of a diverse population
The ability to inspire and motivate people to work toward a common goal
The Augsburg leadership development model provides a framework through which the program recruits its students and
develops their skills.
Program Overview
The study of leadership is central to Augsburg College. The College mission statement says, “Augsburg College educates
students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.” The Master of Arts in
Leadership is quintessentially Augsburg. The integrated liberal arts perspective on leadership education is what we think
of as the “Augsburg difference.”
The Master of Arts in Leadership is the core program of Augsburg’s Center for Leadership Studies (CLS). Developed and
launched in 1987, it is Augsburg’s oldest graduate degree and one of the oldest leadership graduate degrees in the
United States. The program responds to the leadership development needs of both for-profit and not-for-profit
organizations. MAL has a deep theoretical base in leadership studies, yet also offers its students practical approaches to
leadership that can be applied in the workplace and society.
Leadership Development Model
The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that:
•
•
•
Inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources
Promotes productivity within and beyond the organization
Works toward progress for the individual and the organization
To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision,
the ability to persuade, and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are abilities and awareness, outlined
in the Leadership Development Model, which serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg’s model of
leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the individual.
Learning Goals and Outcomes
The MAL program is designed to support students in developing the knowledge and skills to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Explore the nature and practice of leadership in a wide variety of dynamic organizational and community settings
Develop a personal understanding and philosophy of leadership
Aspire to be responsible leaders who are informed citizens, critical thinkers, and thoughtful stewards
Enhance knowledge of self and the capacity to be reflective learners
Analyze and navigate increasingly complex changing environments
Formulate and articulate a shared vision in order to inspire others to achieve desired goals
MAL Courses
Each course encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to
adult learners. Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity.
These techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and
44
understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the
world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative abilities.
Plan of Study
Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule
Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL program is based on the assumption that the
students who enroll are career-oriented, self-disciplined, and well-motivated individuals seeking a balance of classroom
experience, group interaction, and individual study. Courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for
discussion and dialogue.
The program features classes taught by faculty from multiple disciplines and offers two formats to allow students to
choose the option that works best for them. Both formats offer a combination of classroom and online learning styles in
different proportions. The classic classroom format emphasizes face-to-face instruction augmented by online work. The
integrated hybrid format combines online and intensive learning experiences with occasional sessions in a traditional
classroom setting.
Two Convenient Formats: Classic Classroom and Integrated Hybrid Cohort
Overview Classic Classroom Format
For more than 25 years, our classic classroom format has featured a flexible choice model that allows students to select
courses that focus on individual goals, interests, and learning style. Students can also determine the pace at which they
move through the program. This format offers numerous electives and allows for individualized studies. Some online
work is incorporated into this format.
Schedule
During fall and spring semesters, classes usually meet every other Saturday morning or afternoon for four hours.
Additional instruction time is provided online. Seven Saturday sessions are included in one semester. Some select classes
meet on Monday evenings. Students can take a combination of Saturday and Monday courses.
A sample class schedule in the classic classroom format:
Period I
Saturday
8:00 am to 12:00 pm
Period II
Saturday
1:00 pm to 5:00 pm
Period III
Weeknights
6:00 pm to 10:00 pm
Note: Each class taken commits a student to Period I, Period II, or Period III, an average of two meetings a month. A few
courses are taught on an immersion model, which features fewer but longer sessions.
The MAL program also offers summer semester courses in seven-week, fourteen-week, or special immersion formats.
Curriculum
Four core courses:
ML 505 - Foundations of Leadership
ML 514 - Research Methods
ML 580 - Colloquium on Contemporary Theories of Leadership
ML 585 - Integrating the Theory and Practice of Responsible Leadership (Capstone Course)
Seven electives, selected from more than 20 offerings*
*Students may petition the program to do a thesis in place of two of the elective courses. Students who do the thesis
are required to develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of leadership or of a leadership-related topic
and register for ML 592 Thesis Consultation I and ML 593 Thesis Consultation II. Students electing to write a thesis are
still required to take ML 585 to complete the program.

Overview of Integrated Hybrid Cohort Format
A combination of online, classroom, and experiential learning
The integrated hybrid model is completed in two years with a combination of intensive face-to-face sessions and online
coursework. Students complete the program with a cohort of peers representing many different perspectives. Students
learn from each other and build relationships that will provide support throughout the program and a valuable network
for the future.
Schedule
After starting with a five-day summer experience, classes meet on a semester schedule September through mid-April
(fall and spring semesters) and mid-May through mid-August summer semester). Coursework will be online and
supported by three on-campus class sessions per term.

including a capstone course (ML 585).
MBA/MAL Dual Degree
The dual degree program takes advantage of the intellectual benefits of studying business administration and leadership
in a coordinated program. It leverages Augsburg’s long tradition of graduate leadership training via the MA in Leadership
with the robust demand for business education through our MBA program. The dual degree provides students with the
leadership skills needed to run a business and, at the same time, helps them develop the comprehensive outlook they
need to thrive in today’s interconnected world.
A minimum of 18 Augsburg courses completes the MBA/MA in Leadership dual degree, including at least 7 MBA
courses and 7 MA in Leadership courses.
The following dual degree program requirements must be met.
7 courses are required from MBA courses:
•
•

One Additional Elective Course
Elective course may be taken in either MBA or MA in Leadership Program
Admission to the Dual Degree Program
Admission for the dual degree program is handled on a “rolling” basis and requires applicants to hold a bachelor’s
degree from a regionally accredited four-year college or university. Official transcripts from all post-secondary
institutions are required as well as a current résumé and two recommendations. An interview with the program director
is also part of the admissions process.
Although we do accept the GMAT and GRE, we also offer candidates an alternative math and writing profile assessment
entitled the Individual Learning Profile (ILP) which provides a picture of candidate’s math and writing (verbal)
competency detailing strengths and areas of improvement. The profile is not an admissions screening instrument and
will be used as a platform to develop a skills improvement plan for students should they need it.
Earning the dual degree during or after the MBA or MA in Leadership program
Students who are currently enrolled in the MBA or MA in Leadership program or alumni who wish to return to
Augsburg may add the dual degree to their existing degree by completing most of the same requirements listed on the
front of this page. Students may use previously completed application pieces and coursework to help meet these
requirements.
Returning students may complete an abbreviated application form after consultation with the MBA or ML program
director. Upon entering the MBA program, a quantitative online profile assessment must also be taken. This is used as a
platform to enhance skills, if needed.
Students with an MA in Leadership who wish to add the dual degree will take a minimum of 7 required MBA courses.
Students will complete one course in each of the 3 focus areas if they did not complete these courses during their MAL
program. Each student’s program will be slightly different based on their prior course selections.
Students with an MBA will complete 4 required and 3 elective MA in Leadership courses. Students will need to complete
one course in each of the 3 focus areas if they did not complete these courses during their MBA program. Each student’s
program will be slightly different based on their prior course selections.
Students in both programs will meet individually with the program directors to determine whether their completed final
project meets the criteria aligned with the dual degree final project. Directors may ask that the project be modified or
added to or ask the student to complete another project. These decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis.
Certificate in Leadership Studies
The certificate program is an attractive option for people who want to develop their leadership skills without
undertaking a full degree program. A certificate is awarded after completion of five Augsburg MAL courses in leadership.
Students pursuing this option take ML 505 - Foundations of Leadership and four additional electives. The normal
application process is used for students who wish to pursue the certificate.
Joint BA in Accounting and Master of Arts in Leadership
A BA in Accounting and an MA in Leadership (MAL) can be earned in this five-year program designed for students who
wish to qualify for CPA certification and obtain a master’s degree. By the end of the fifth year and successful completion
of all requirements, the student receives both a BA in Accounting and an MA in Leadership and will have fulfilled the
150-hour requirement to qualify for the CPA certification. The MAL program offers a large number of courses on a
weekend schedule or Monday evening. Refer to the MAL program schedule for the list of courses each year and to the
accounting program coordinator for a detailed academic plan. Students should meet with both the MAL director and an
accounting advisor to create an effective plan for successful completion of the five-year program.

Master of Arts in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice
Welcome to graduate nursing education at Augsburg College. Our classes are made up of students representing a
dynamic mix of cultures, spiritual traditions, and life-ways. It is exciting for us to offer experienced nurses transforming
educational opportunities and engaging transcultural encounters that expand their career choices and advance their
nursing practice.
The increasing diversity of our population today challenges all of us to respond to individual health care needs with
creativity and competence in a variety of emerging care settings. The Master of Arts in Nursing program is designed to
prepare nurses for those evolving contexts of care. Students can choose between two tracks of study: Transcultural
Nursing and Transformational Nursing Leadership. Each track of study emphasizes leadership skills, inter-professional
collaboration and ways to serve persons in a variety of care settings.
The post-master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program builds on the MAN and prepares nurses for innovative
health leadership and advanced nursing practice at local and system-wide levels. Drawing on a transcultural nursing
foundation, the DNP curriculum embraces integrative health care and holistic nursing practice to maximize health for
individuals and communities. Students design their own scholarly paths defined by their unique gifts, interests, and
practice goals. Throughout the DNP program there are a range of opportunities for collaboration across cultures, socioeconomic strata and care systems.
The post-BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) to DNP/Family Nurse Practitioner track of study prepares nurses for
advanced nursing leadership and integrative primary care of families across cultures and care settings. Drawing on a
transcultural nursing foundation, the DNP/FNP curriculum embraces integrative healthcare and holistic nursing practice.
Emphasis is on eliminating health inequities through peaceful, just, and collaborative actions that uphold and improve
human potential. The curriculum emphasizes knowledge, skills and values that foster one’s ability to lead change, while
addressing health needs and concerns of families and communities. Nursing scholarship and advanced autonomous
practice frame the critical exploration of knowledge in transcultural nursing, integrative healthcare practices,
transformational leadership, and health assessment.
Classes in both the DNP and MAN programs are offered on the Augsburg campus and at Bethel Lutheran Church in
Rochester, MN, where our branch campus is located. Video conferencing and online assignments are used for some of
the classes, however, our students and faculty are committed to driving from one site to the other at least once during
each semester to be physically present and together.
Building relationships is important to us. Program faculty and staff are available at both sites and eager to assist
students.

Master of Arts in Nursing
Mission
The Master of Arts in Nursing program is designed to prepare nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural
nursing practice across care settings with particular emphasis on addressing health inequities. Students select from two
tracks of study—Transformational Nursing Leadership or Transcultural Nursing. Both tracks prepare nurse leaders to
assume a wide variety of roles and responsibilities throughout the healthcare system and in emerging care settings in
communities.
Curriculum
The MAN curriculum is organized into 33 semester credits –15 semester credits in a Nursing Core, in which all students
enroll, and 18 semester credits in one of the two Tracks of Study. Practica are taken concurrently with most courses and
are integrated throughout the program. Each semester credit of practicum is equal to 45 clock hours of practice.
Students select a track of study when applying to the program, however, this is not essential until after one’s first
semester. Students may study full-time (6-8 semester credits per term) or part-time (4 semester credits per term). Time
to degree completion takes an average 22 months when studying full-time, and 32 months when studying part-time.
Nursing Core Courses (15 semester credits)
The core nursing courses integrate a strong foundation of social justice incorporating multiple ways of knowing with
curricular emphasis on nursing science, art, and theory to guide practice.
NUR 500 - Transcultural Health Care (3 semester credits)
NUR 500P - Practicum: Transcultural Health Care (1 semester credit)
NUR 541 - Politics of Health (3 semester credits)
NUR 541P - Practicum: Politics of Health Care (1 semester credit)
NUR 505 - Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Nursing Practice (3 semester credits)
NUR 505P - Practicum: Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Practice Nursing (1 semester credit)
NUR 520 - Research Methods in Nursing (3 semester credits)
Transformational Nursing Leadership Track (18 semester credits)
The Transformational Nursing Leadership track is designed to develop nurse leaders’ ability to critically analyze,
articulate, and develop effective strategies to cope with high level health care disparities. Curricular emphasis is on interprofessional collaboration across care settings. Participation in nursing leadership practica in traditional and emerging
care settings adds depth and meaning to classroom dialogue. Practica also provide opportunities for students to apply
knowledge and gain experience partnering with diverse care providers, populations, and communities to address health
inequities in creative and relevant ways. Transformational Nursing Leadership track courses include:
NUR 501 - Nursing Leadership in Complex Adaptive Systems (3 semester credits)
NUR 501P - Practicum: Nursing Leadership in Complex Adaptive Systems (1 semester credit)
NUR 521 - Transformational Nursing Leadership (3 semester credits)
NUR 521P - Practicum: Transformational Nursing Leadership (2 semester credits)
NUR 523 - Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (3 semester credits)
NUR 523P - Practicum: Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (2 semester credits)
NUR 525 - Graduate Field Project (3 semester credits)
NUR 525P - Practicum: Graduate Field Project (2 semester credits)
Students graduating from the Transformational Leadership Track of the master’s program are eligible to apply to the
American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for certification as a Nurse Executive, Advanced and to the Transcultural
Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing.
Graduate Field Project in Transformational Nursing Leadership
Students will fulfill their Master of Arts in Nursing through a final practice-focused project, which serves as the capstone
of the master’s program. The last two classes in the curriculum–NUR 523 and NUR 525—emphasize the development
53
and articulation of a final field project focused on transformational leadership. Students present their final projects in
NUR 525.
Transcultural Nursing Across Care Settings Track (18 semester credits)
The Transcultural Nursing track in the Master of Arts in Nursing program was designed to prepare nurses for advanced
practice across care settings in culturally diverse communities. The curriculum is grounded in nursing science, theoryguided practice, and transcultural principles. Emphasis is on reaching out to persons and populations that are
underserved by traditional care systems and who exist outside of the social mainstream. As such, the track provides rich
alternative learning opportunities for graduate students locally and internationally. Transcultural Nursing Across Care
Settings track courses include:
NUR 532 - Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (3 semester credits)
NUR 532P – Practicum: Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (1 semester credits)
NUR 530 - The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Healing (3 semester credits)
NUR 530P – Practicum: The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Healing (1 semester credits)
NUR 523 - Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (3 semester credits)
NUR 523P – Practicum: Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (2 semester credits)
NUR 525 - Graduate Field Project (3 semester credits)
NUR 525P - Graduate Field Project (2 semester credits)
Students graduating from the Transcultural Nursing track of the master’s program are eligible to apply to the
Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing and
certification in Holistic Nursing through the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation (AHNCC)
(www.ahncc.org).
Graduate Field Project in Transcultural Nursing
Students will fulfill their Master of Arts in Nursing through a final practice-focused project, which serves as the capstone
of the master’s program. The last two classes in the curriculum—NUR 523 and NUR 525—emphasize the development
and articulation of a final field project focused on transcultural nursing. Students present their final projects in NUR 525.
Practica
Practice experience is emphasized in both tracks in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. Students earn 9 semester
credits of practicum work that is equal to 405 clock hours of practice—45 clock hours per semester credit hour. Practica
are generally semi-structured, experiential, and led by faculty and cultural guides familiar with the communities in which
the practica occur. Some practica are student directed. In all practica, students are encouraged to immerse themselves
in practice settings that serve persons underserved or excluded from mainstream health care, as emphasis in the
program is on cultural diversity and health inequities across health care settings. Practica focusing on experiential
learning with a transformational nurse leader provides students with the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of
organizational dynamics and change through a complexity science paradigm.
Augsburg Central Health Commons & the Inner City
A unique opportunity for students to explore advanced nursing roles and new models and forms of practice is provided
by the Augsburg Central Health Commons, and the Health Commons in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. Both Health
Commons are nursing-led drop-in centers dedicated to serving those in need and focused on healthy individuals and
communities. People from diverse backgrounds, who have health experiences grounded in wide ranging cultural
contexts frequent the Health Commons for health support and reassurance. Service and care are based on respect,
relationship, and collaboration that connects health and hope for all participants. Health Commons partners include
Central Lutheran Church in downtown Minneapolis, Fairview Health Services, U-Care, and the East Africa Health Project.
Study Abroad and Away
The Department of Nursing works closely with cultural guides and nurse mentors in various contexts of care in emerging
care settings at home and abroad. The Center for Global Education is a partner with the Department of Nursing in
developing and facilitating study abroad opportunities in Guatemala and Mexico.
54
Additional collaborative partners include the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS) in Namibia, the Pine Ridge
Retreat Center, in Pine Ridge, SD, and a variety of cultural guides and local practitioners throughout England. A detailed
listing of practica and immersion experiences abroad and away can be found at the nursing website
(www.augsburg.edu/nursing).

Doctor of Nursing Practice – Transcultural Nursing Leadership (DNPTCN)
The post-master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice program prepares nurses for innovative health leadership and advanced
nursing practice at local and system-wide levels. Drawing on a transcultural nursing foundation, the DNP-TCN curriculum
embraces integrative healthcare and holistic nursing practice. Emphasis is placed on maximizing health within
populations and communities through peaceful, just and collaborative actions across care settings and cultures, focusing
on eliminating health inequities locally and globally. As a post-master’s program, the DNP-TCN track of study builds upon
the strengths of the Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN) program and prepares nurses for advanced leadership and practice
roles in Transcultural Nursing (TCN) and Holistic Nursing.
Program Goals
Graduates of the Doctor of Nursing Practice program are prepared to:
•
•
•
Negotiate the complexity of multicultural care settings and care systems to eliminate health inequities among
populations and communities
Challenge conventional knowledge about illness through an ecological approach to social determinants of health
Lead change through building coalitions with marginalized people that are based on mutuality and common cause
Program Structure
The program is structured in a modified cohort model. One cohort a year will be admitted to begin in the fall term.
Students can choose to take full or part-time study. Students taking full-time study take two didactic offerings, two
seminars, and a practicum each semester. Students in full-time study can complete the post-master’s DNP-TCN
curriculum in 20 months, including completion of the capstone project. Students selecting part-time study take one
didactic offering, one seminar and a practicum each semester. As a part-time student, completion of the program is
expected to take 32 months, including completion of the capstone project.
The DNP curriculum is organized into 33 semester credits comprised of didactic classes, experiential practica, and
seminars, with a capstone project completing the degree. As a practice doctorate, the emphasis is on building leadership
and practice skills in knowledge application among diverse population groups. The goal is to improve health and
decrease health inequities that lead to unnecessary morbidity and mortality in communities.
Students graduating from the DNP-TCN track are eligible to apply to the Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission
(TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing and certification in Holistic Nursing through the American
Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation (AHNCC) (www.ahncc.org/).
Didactic
A total of six didactic courses (18 semester credits) constitute the DNP program. One course equals three semester
credits. Courses are taught in an immersion model two days a month—eight hours of class time the first day and four
hours the subsequent morning, followed by an afternoon seminar.
Class attendance is expected and should be considered a key responsibility, not only to one’s self, but to one’s
classmates and the course instructor. Classes are held on Augsburg’s campus in Minneapolis and in Rochester, MN, at
Bethel Lutheran Church (810 3rd Ave SE) the location of Augsburg’s branch campus. Video conferencing is used for some
of the classes, however, students must be prepared to drive to Rochester and/or Minneapolis for class at least once per
semester. If weather is inclement, video conferencing is used.
Practica
Practica are organized to give flexibility and individual choice to students to support their increasing independence and
depth of practice experience at the doctoral level. Students select practicum experiences that are either structured
immersions in a variety of cultural contexts led by nursing faculty or that are student initiated and individually directed
experiences mentored by nursing faculty.
In a 15-week semester, practicum hours are computed as follows:
58
•
•
•
1 semester credit hour =
2 semester credit hours =
3 semester credit hours =
45 clock hours of practicum time per semester
90 clock hours of practicum time per semester
135 clock hours of practicum time per semester
To earn the DNP, students must complete a total of 1,000 practicum hours in their Master’s and DNP programs.
Students will be allowed to transfer up to 600 practicum hours from their master’s in nursing into the Augsburg DNP. As
such, all students will register for at least nine semester credits of practica in the post-master’s DNP-TCN.
Seminars
Seminars focus on integration of conceptual learning with field practice, developing the student’s particular practice
interests. Students are required to participate in a doctoral seminar every semester —fall and spring—until completion
of the DNP degree. Cohorts of students who enter the DNP program together usually progress as a group in the
seminars in which they enroll each term, depending on whether they are studying full-time or part-time. The final
seminar (NUR 841) culminates in the capstone project presentation and completion of the requirements for the DNP
degree.
Final DNP Capstone Project
Final DNP capstone projects must make a significant impact on nursing practice and health outcomes of populations and
communities, demonstrate an evidence-based contribution to existing nursing knowledge, and be suitable for
presentation or publication in a peer-reviewed venue. Through this scholarly project students demonstrate leadership in
synthesizing and applying scientific knowledge to practice challenges in local and/or system wide contexts of care.
Students should begin working on their DNP capstone projects in the early stages of the DNP program and continue
throughout. This scholarly project is planned in collaboration with a major faculty advisor.

Doctor of Nursing Practice/Family Nurse Practitioner
The post-BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) to DNP/FNP track of study prepares nurses for advanced nursing
leadership and integrative primary care of families across cultures and care settings. Drawing on a transcultural nursing
foundation, the DNP curriculum embraces integrative healthcare and holistic nursing practice. Emphasis is on
eliminating health inequities through peaceful, just, and collaborative actions that uphold and improve human potential.
The curriculum emphasizes knowledge, skills and values that foster one’s ability to lead change, while addressing health
needs and concerns of families and communities. Nursing scholarship and advanced autonomous practice frame the
critical exploration of knowledge in transcultural nursing, integrative healthcare practices, transformational leadership,
and health assessment.
Program Goals
Graduates of the Doctor of Nursing Practice/Family Nurse Practitioner program are prepared to:
•
•
•
•
Negotiate the complexity of multicultural care settings and care systems to eliminate health inequities among
populations and communities.
Challenge conventional knowledge about illness through an ecological approach to social determinants of health.
Lead change through building coalitions with marginalized people that are based on mutuality and common cause.
Provide primary care to persons, families and communities with particular consideration for those who are
underserved and/or marginalized by dominant societal structures.
Program Structure
The program is structured to admit students beginning each fall semester. Students may take courses on a part-time or
full-time basis during the completion of their Masters of Nursing or Doctor of Nursing Practice courses. Full-time study is
required during the didactic and clinical courses in the FNP course sequence during the last two years of the program.
Length of program: The Post-BSN to DNP/FNP track of study leads to eligibility for certification as a Family Nurse
Practitioner (FNP) through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and requires a minimum of 84 semester
credit hours, including 57 didactic credit hours and 23 practicum credit hours.
Didactic
A total of 19 didactic courses (57 semester credits) constitute the DNP/FNP program. Didactic classes, structured
practica, and clinical experiences are taught in a variety of flexible schedules that are responsive to student needs.
Master level classes (NUR 500 level courses) consist of six classes a semester - five hours of class time, in addition to
taking a one credit practicum course associated with the didactic course. The DNP courses (NUR 800 level), are taught in
an immersion model two days a month - eight hours of class time for the first day and four hours the subsequent
morning, followed by an afternoon seminar. The FNP courses (final two years of study) are offered on Mondays
approximately five times a semester, class time hours will vary from 8 to 12 hours. Web-based assignments are
integrated into all classes through Moodle.
Summer meeting schedules will be more condensed. Community practicum experiences may be scheduled during the
class meeting days as well. Additionally, some courses may be taught in an immersion format, where students and
faculty are “immersed” in a unique socio-cultural context and course content and a set number of practicum hours are
condensed into seven to fourteen days.
Class attendance is expected and should be considered a key responsibility, not only to one’s self, but to one’s
classmates and the course instructor. Classes are held on Augsburg’s campus in Minneapolis and in Rochester, MN, at
Bethel Lutheran Church (810 3rd Ave SE) the location of Augsburg’s branch campus or at Hermitage Farm Center for
Healing, 6415 West River Road NW, Rochester, MN. Video conferencing is used for some of the classes, however,
students must be prepared to drive to Rochester and/or Minneapolis for class at least once per semester. If weather is
inclement, video conferencing is used.
61
Practica
Practica are organized to give flexibility and individual choice to students to support their increasing independence and
depth of practice experience at the doctoral level. Students select practicum experiences that are either structured
immersions in a variety of cultural contexts led by nursing faculty or that are student initiated and individually directed
experiences mentored by nursing faculty. FNP clinical sites will be arranged by clinical faculty.
In a 15-week semester, practicum hours are computed as follows:
•
•
•
1 semester credit hour =
2 semester credit hours =
3 semester credit hours =
45 clock hours of practicum time per semester
90 clock hours of practicum time per semester
135 clock hours of practicum time per semester
To earn the DNP/FNP, students must complete a total of 1,035 practicum hours. Students will be allowed to transfer up
to 400 practicum hours from their master’s in nursing. To complete the DNP/FNP, students must complete 630 practica
hours (530 hours of primary care of the adult and 100 hours of primary care of children and women’s health). As such,
all students will register for at least 23 semester credits of practica.
Seminars
Seminars focus on integration of conceptual learning with field practice developing the student’s particular practice
interest. Students are required to participate in a total of four one-semester-credit doctoral seminars during the
DNP/FNP program. The final seminar culminates in the project presentation and completion of the requirements for the
DNP degree.
Final DNP/FNP Capstone Project
Final DNP/FNP capstone projects must make a significant impact on nursing practice and health outcomes of
populations and communities, demonstrate an evidence-based contribution to existing nursing knowledge, and be
suitable for presentation or publication in a peer-reviewed venue. Through this scholarly project students demonstrate
leadership in synthesizing and applying scientific knowledge to practice challenges in local and/or system wide contexts
of care. Students should begin working on their DNP/FNP capstone projects in the early stages of the program and
continue throughout. This scholarly project is planned in collaboration with a major faculty advisor.

MBA Mission
To prepare students for professional careers in business by developing their decision-making skills, critical thinking and
by transforming them into effective managers and leaders in service to others. The program aspires to provide an
outstanding student-centered education that produces graduates who are critically astute, technically proficient, and
who understand the moral and ethical consequences of their decisions on their organization and on the world.
Accreditation
The Augsburg MBA is a candidate for accreditation with the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs
(ACBSP).
Augsburg is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission, North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. For a
complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the listing in the Accreditation, Approvals,
and Memberships section.
MBA Program Overview
Today’s business leader must be able to quickly analyze situations and information and critically analyze alternatives and
courses of action. The purpose of the Augsburg MBA is to prepare students to accept greater responsibility in
organizations facing this dynamic and fast-evolving business culture. The curriculum of the MBA gives students the
ability to think critically and ethically as they face the increased challenges of a global business environment. Quality,
individual initiative, ethics, and teamwork are hallmarks of the Augsburg MBA. We have a commitment to continually
improve students’ experiences and learning in the program. Our faculty is uniquely qualified to bridge theory and realworld application, giving MBA students opportunities to acquire skills and knowledge in a variety of disciplines. The
Augsburg MBA offers students the flexibility of completing a general MBA or a specialized MBA with a concentration
that matches their interests and career goals.
Plan of Study
The Augsburg MBA is an accelerated, evening program that allows working professionals to complete an MBA degree in
approximately 24 months. This is accomplished by using a cohort model in which students follow a predetermined
schedule with classes meeting one night a week.
Students in a cohort program model stay together as a group through the sequence of classes for the duration of the
program. This provides a continuous, collaborative learning process. The cohort environment fosters a cohesive learning
community where students learn from each another, mentor each other, and peer coach. You’ll share diverse
professional expertise and experience as you work in teams on projects, case studies, presentations, and simulations,
65
both inside and outside of class. Working both individually and in small groups enables you to enhance your strengths,
build your skills, expand your business acumen, and improve your decision-making. Together as a community you’ll build
personal, social, and academic abilities.
Adult learners bring a wealth of work and personal life experiences with them into the classroom, multiplying the
opportunities for learning. The personal connections and relationships you build with fellow students and faculty will
extend into an important and valuable network as you take your career to new levels.
Program Requirements
The Augsburg MBA requires 39 semester credits for degree completion, consisting of 11 required courses and two
elective courses. All Augsburg MBA courses are three semester credits. Each course consists of 28-32 hours of in-class
instruction and 5 ½ - 9 ½ hours of online instruction through our web-based electronic course management system.

MSW/MBA Dual Degree
Many social service agencies today require that agency managers combine financial and business expertise with social
work practice and policy formation. The MSW/MBA degree enables graduates to function in a workplace that demands
the delivery of quality services with increasingly limited resources. The MSW/MBA dual degree option is available to
MSW students who elect the Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) concentration.
MSW/MBA students will spend their first two years taking Master of Social Work courses followed by approximately 15
months of MBA courses. For more information regarding the Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) coursework required
for the MSW/MBA dual degree, refer to the Master of Social Work section in this catalog. MSW students who graduated
after June 2002 are required to complete the following eight MBA courses:
MBA 510 - Applied Managerial Economics
MBA 520 - Accounting for Business Managers
MBA 530 - Managerial Finance
MBA 545 - Organizational Behavior
MBA 550 - Marketing Management
MBA 560 - Communication Issues in Management
MBA 575 - Strategic Technology
MBA 595 - Strategic Management
68
MSW students who graduated prior to 2002 are required to complete nine MBA courses. This includes the eight MBA
courses listed above as well as MBA 592 - Leadership: Ethics, Service, and Transformation.
MSW students may also be required to adjust their summative evaluation project to meet the requirements of the MSW
and MBA programs.
Students interested in the MSW/MBA program must apply to both programs. See the application guidelines listed under
each individual program.

Academic Policies
MBA Program Enrollment Policy
Students are strongly encouraged to remain in their cohort and complete their MBA program as scheduled. Adjustments
or modifications to the MBA schedule require the approval of the MBA program director.
All students are required to complete all components of the program within five years of matriculation. Extensions
beyond five years will be considered on the basis of petition to the MBA director. Students who leave the program for
more than one semester must request a leave of absence in writing from the MBA program. A leave of absence may be
granted for one calendar year. Students who return to the program after a leave of one year or more must fill out an
Application for Readmission form and submit it to the MBA office. Time spent on an official MBA-approved leave of
absence will not count toward the five-year deadline for degree completion.
Academic Evaluation
Evaluation of academic performance in the MBA program will be based on number grades using a 4.0-scale. For
complete information, see Academic Programs and Policies.
Withdrawal from Class
For information regarding the last date on which students may withdraw from a class and receive a “W” on their
records, refer to the academic calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar/.
Attendance Policies
Student attendance at scheduled class meetings is a priority and required. However, MBA faculty understand that MBA
students are working adults with significant responsibilities who, on occasion, face unforeseen situations that may
interfere with attendance. Students should notify the faculty member teaching the course as soon as possible when the
problem is immediate. When the student knows in advance of a class date where a potential conflict exists, they must
discuss the proposed missed class with the faculty member prior to the date of the class. Students are responsible for
the work covered during that class session and for making appropriate arrangements for obtaining handouts, lecture
content, or other materials. Faculty members may assign appropriate independent work to insure that the student
understands the material covered during the class session.
If appropriate and acceptable coordination is carried out by the student, there need not be any grade reduction for a
single missed class session. This may be dependent on assignments due on the date of the missed class; e.g., final
project presentations or team presentations. Point/grade reductions for unexcused absences are the prerogative of the
faculty. Two missed class sessions, unexcused or excused, may be grounds for directing the student to withdraw from
the course. More than two absences, excused or unexcused, require that a student withdraw from the class.
Degree Requirements
To be conferred the MBA degree, students must achieve the following:
•
•
•
•
Successful completion of all admission conditions
Successful completion of MBA courses (2.5 or above)
No more than two courses with a grade of 2.5 or below, and with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher at the
completion of the program
Successful completion and submission of the management consulting project (capstone)
Students who successfully complete Augsburg’s MBA program will receive a Master of Business Administration degree.

Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing
MFA Mission
The Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing is a two-year, low-residency program designed as a vibrant literary
community for writers who wish to deepen and broaden their artistic sensibilities, discover a close-knit cadre of fellow
writers, enjoy individual attention from an accomplished and forward-thinking faculty, and prepare themselves for the
future of creative writing.
Program Overview
Summer Residencies
The Augsburg Low-Residency MFA includes 10-day summer residencies on the Augsburg campus in Minneapolis,
offering daily workshops, readings, and mini-courses that focus on literary craft as well as career skills in teaching,
editing, publishing, book arts, marketing, translation, and adaptation. The full degree program includes three summer
residencies, featuring visits by distinguished writers in each genre as well as editors, agents, publishers, and literary
entrepreneurs.
Fall and Spring Semesters
The first two residencies are followed each year by fall and spring off-campus semesters. During those terms, students
work with faculty mentors in virtual classrooms that make use of online and other technologies. Each semester, MFA
candidates enroll in one Mentorship section and one section of Critical and Creative Reading. Although MFA learning
objectives call for demonstrated expertise in at least one genre by graduation, twenty-first century writers compose
their work in an environment in which genre has permeable boundaries and lines between genres are often erased.
With this in mind, cross-genre work will be encouraged, with students working in a genre other than the declared
specialty, usually during the second off-campus semester.
Semester Mentorships
The Mentorship is a one-on-one experience with a faculty mentor who guides the student’s production of work and
study of craft. This one-on-one creative studio experience is focused on the MFA candidate’s own writing and growth as
a writer.
Critical and Creative Reading in an Online Classroom
This is a reading-as-writers course that provides an opportunity to work with your professor and a community of peers,
considering craft, criticism and aesthetics. Meetings are online in the electronic classroom. The format may include
online discussion boards, Skype or video chats, and teleconferences with mentors and fellow learners. The online
classroom offers an opportunity to continue conversations begun during the residency with members of the MFA
community.
Students may repeat mentorship courses (ENL 511, 513, 521, and 523) and critical and creative readings courses (ENL
512, 514, 522, and 524), subject to the permission of the program director.
Genres and Concentrations
Genres include Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, Poetry, Screenwriting and Playwriting.
The program also includes concentrations in teaching, translation, and publishing. Concentrations require additional
coursework. With the program director’s consent, students may enroll in concentration courses simultaneously with
MFA studies. Candidates enrolled in the publishing concentration will be the staff of a new publishing house, Howling
Bird Press, that will select and publish one book each year. The book prize is open to submissions nationally.
Plan of Study
Students may select a completion plan for the MFA:
The Traditional MFA in Creative Writing, in which the student chooses one genre as the designated field of study but is
encouraged to work outside the designated field of study for one term.
73
The Mixed Genre Option, in which the student selects a primary genre and works in that genre for at least three
mentored and reading terms. The student also competes two mentored and reading terms outside the designated field
of study.
The Career Concentration Option, in which the student also enrolls in electives in teaching, translation and/or
publishing. This plan may be added to both the Traditional and Mixed
Genre options.
Accommodating Writers Who Work Full-Time and Those Who Live Outside of Minnesota
Augsburg’s Traditional MFA in Creative Writing can be completed in eleven courses (three summer residencies and four
off-campus electronic semesters of two courses each). A typical plan of study in the Traditional Low-Residency MFA will
work like this:
First Year
Summer Residency I, including genre workshops, writing seminars, readings and lectures, ten days on the Minneapolis
campus, with assignments before and after residency.
Fall Semester I, electronic classroom including one Mentorship studio and one Creative and Critical Reading course.
Spring Semester I, electronic classroom including one Mentorship studio and one Creative and Critical Reading course
(generally “out-of-genre” term).
Second Year
Summer Residency II, including genre workshops, writing seminars, readings and lectures, ten days on the Minneapolis
campus, with assignments before and after residency.
Fall Semester II, electronic classroom including one Mentorship studio and one Creative and Critical Reading (craftbased academic paper term).
Spring Semester II, electronic classroom including one Mentorship studio (thesis completion term) and one Creative and
Critical Reading (lecture/presentation preparation term).
Third Year – Residency Only
Summer Residency III, including genre workshop, writing seminars, readings and lectures. Final term for graduating MFA
candidates. Graduates give a public lecture/presentation and a reading from thesis work. Ten days on the Minneapolis
campus, with assignments before and after residency.

Academic Policies
Credit
All Augsburg MFA courses carry four semester credits. To earn the MFA, candidates must complete 44 semester credits,
write a critical/creative paper, deliver a public lecture/presentation, give a public reading/staging, and complete a book
length manuscript of publishable quality (fiction, nonfiction and poetry), a screenplay/calling card script (screenwriting),
or a full-length play of producible quality (playwriting).
To include a concentration in Teaching or in Translation/Adaptation in the MFA, students must complete 12 courses or
48 credits. For the MFA with a concentration in Publishing, students must complete 13 courses or 52 credits.
Transfer
Augsburg’s low-residency MFA includes in-person and online elements that help us maintain a strong community and
create a culture in which our writers thrive.
This studio degree is the terminal degree in writing and because of the unique features of a terminal, low-residency,
studio degree, the final decision on transfer credit will depend on review by the Augsburg College MFA Program. A
maximum of eight semester credits from traditional residency MFA programs and from MA programs in creative writing
or English literature may be accepted. The MFA Program Director will review and may offer up to four additional credits
in transfer for equivalent residency or workshop experience completed in another program. The maximum transfer
credits allowed is 12 credits.
Academic Evaluation
Grading
The MFA Program uses fine arts studio grading practices, formative in nature and designed to be an element of the
teaching curriculum. A narrative transcript composed of comments on those elements that the particular student writer
is working on during a particular term will be used to assess progress in the mentorship courses. These are formative
and qualitative assessment elements and professors’ responses will vary as professor/artists and student/artists
approach student work with the student’s individual artistic aims in mind. In addition to the fine arts formative and
qualitative assessment, students will be assessed in light of their success in meeting learning objectives of the course
while completing work assigned.
75
MFA in Creative Writing Courses are graded on a Pass/No Credit basis, using the Augsburg graduate grading model scale
as described below:
P – Represents work at 3.0 or higher and meets acceptable standards.
N – No credit, not counted in grade point average.
Alignment of Course Outcomes
MFA courses are aligned with the Program Hallmarks of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP), the
national professional organization for writing programs and the writers who teach in those programs.
Participation
Students are expected to fully participate in Summer Residencies, attending workshop sessions and scheduled meetings
with mentors as well as a majority of readings, lectures and other scheduled sessions. Participation in off-campus
coursework is expected to occur during the designated time for each Mentorship studio critique session and “time
away” for creative work. Students are also expected to take part in synchronous and asynchronous sessions with
mentors and demonstrate “presence” in the Creative and Critical Reading courses through regularly scheduled
exchanges with faculty and peers.
Academic Honesty
Augsburg’s high expectations for academic honesty will be applied to this class. Please refer to the Student Guide at
www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/academic-honest-policies/ if you have any questions.
Affiliation
The Augsburg College MFA Program is a member of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP) and

Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies
Mission
The mission of the Augsburg College Department of Physician Assistant Studies is based on a foundation of respect and
sensitivity to persons of all cultures and backgrounds and oriented toward providing care to underserved populations.
Students are well educated in current medical theory and practice, and graduates are encouraged to work in primary
care settings. The program promotes dedication to excellence in performance, with the highest standards of ethics and
integrity, and commitment to lifelong personal and professional development.
Accreditation
The Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) has granted Continued
Accreditation to the Physician Assistant Program sponsored by Augsburg College. Continued accreditation is an
accreditation status granted when a currently accredited program is in compliance with the ARC-PA Standards.
Continued Accreditation remains in effect until the program closes or withdraws from the accreditation process or until
accreditation is withdrawn for failure to comply with the Standards. The approximate date for the next comprehensive
review of the program by ARC-PA will be September 2018.
About PA
A physician assistant (PA) is a dependent practitioner of medicine who practices under the supervision of a licensed
physician. The PA can practice in a multitude of settings and specialties of medicine. Common job responsibilities
including taking patient histories, performing physical exams, ordering and interpreting laboratory tests and radiological
studies, formulating diagnoses, and administering treatment.
In the state of Minnesota, a PA is licensed with the Board of Medical Practice. In Minnesota, and most other states, the
PA must be NCCPA (National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants) certified and hold a supervisory
agreement with a licensed physician. Minnesota registered PAs have prescriptive privileges under delegatory supervision
with their physician for prescriptive medications.
Curriculum
The Physician Assistant program at Augsburg is 31 months long with studies beginning each year in the summer
semester (early June). The program accepts up to 30 students for each new class. Graduates will receive a Master of
Science in Physician Assistant Studies and a PA certificate.
The Augsburg PA program includes traditional college “breaks” such as winter holiday break, spring breaks, and summer
breaks. Length of breaks varies depending upon the student’s year in the program; these breaks contribute to the
overall 31 month length of the program.
Studies begin in early June of each year. The first 18 months of study is didactic, or classroom work, including courses in
human gross anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical medicine, pharmacotherapy, history and physical exam skills, research,
and professional issues.
The clinical phase is 13 months in length. The clinical phase of the program is designed to effectively train students for
practice by providing them with rotation experiences in different specialties and different practice settings. To that end,
each student will be required to complete rotations outside the metropolitan area. Each student is required to
successfully complete clinical rotations in family medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, psychiatry, emergency medicine,
internal medicine, surgery, and two elective rotations by choosing from various specialties. The clinical phase will
culminate with a preceptorship in primary care, medical subspecialty or surgical subspecialty. This preceptorship is
designed to solidify the student’s primary care skills, and potentially place them in a setting that might be interested in
recruiting a graduate PA. The majority of established clinical rotation sites are in Minnesota in both rural and urban
locations.
81
The clinical curriculum is taught by physicians, and supplemented by physician assistants and other health care
providers. Each student is evaluated by the clinical instructor for the designated rotation. Students will return to
Augsburg College five times during the clinical phase for evaluation and education.

completed or will complete your prerequisite courses within the timeline specified for your degree status.
Additional Application Details:
•
•
•
The Augsburg PA Program requires three letters of recommendation submitted through the CASPA process. One
letter must be from an employer/colleague (a professional reference), one letter must be from a professor or
advisor (an academic reference), and one can be from a person of your choice. Be sure that your letter writers are
able to tell the committee about you as well as his/her experiences with you and observations about you.
Your Supplemental Application must be received in the PA Program office on or before the deadline in order to be
considered.
We use the CASPA “Complete Date” to determine if you have met the application deadline. The “Complete Date” on
your application must be the deadline or prior in order to be considered meeting the deadline. CASPA assigns a
“Complete Date’ when they have received your electronic application, transcripts from all schools attended, 2 of
your 3 letters of reference, and payment. Until those criteria are met, your application will not be given a “Complete
Date.”
Augsburg’s PA Program Supplemental Application can be downloaded from our website at www.augsburg.edu/pa. It is
important for the applicant to determine whether he or she is in fact eligible to apply to the PA Studies Program, as the
supplemental application fee is non-refundable. You will be required to print and sign the supplemental application and
mail it to the program by the application deadline.
Selection Process
All complete files (CASPA and Supplemental Applications that meet requirements) will be reviewed by the admissions
committee. The admissions committee procedures utilize a blinded review, so applicant demographic data is unknown
(e.g., race, age, gender). Each file is reviewed by members of the committee.
The selection committee looks for a balanced application by reviewing many criteria including key criteria of cumulative
GPA, science GPA, and direct patient care experience, along with overall academic record, service to underserved
(meaning disadvantaged, minority, or under-represented populations), knowledge of the profession, fit with the
program goals and mission, and recommendation letters.
Once the committee has completed the file review, a group of candidates is selected for a telephone interview. The
telephone interviews are generally conducted between November and January. Those selected for a telephone
interview are invited to a Candidate Information Session in the program to meet faculty, staff, current students, and to
view the facilities. As telephone interviews are completed, seats in the incoming class are offered. The class of 30
students will be filled between the months of October and January. A list of alternates will be selected in January to fill
seats that accepted candidates may not claim. All applicants are notified of their final status by mid-February.
Accepted applicants must complete and pass a background check prior to matriculation and annually throughout the
program. Failure of the background check could result in dismissal from the program.
Academic Policies
Please see the PA program website at www.augsburg.edu/pa for further details about policies outlined here.
Technical Standards
The Augsburg College Department of Physician Assistant Studies is pledged to the admission and matriculation of
qualified students and wishes to acknowledge awareness of laws which prohibit discrimination against anyone on the
basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age or disability.
84
Regarding disabled individuals, the PA department will not discriminate against such individuals who are otherwise
qualified but will expect all applicants and students to meet certain minimal technical standards.
The physician assistant must have the knowledge and skills to function in a broad variety of clinical situation and to
render a wide spectrum of patient care. They must be able to integrate all information received by whatever sense(s)
employed, consistently, quickly, and accurately, and they must have the intellectual ability to learn, integrate, analyze,
and synthesize data.
Candidates for physician assistant certification offered by this department must have, with or without reasonable
accommodation, multiple abilities and skills including: visual, oral-auditory, motor, cognitive, and behavioral/social.
Candidates for admission and progression must be able to perform these abilities and skills in a reasonably independent
manner.
•
•
•
•
•
Visual
o Candidates must be able to observe and participate in experiments in the basic sciences. In order to make
proper clinical decisions, candidates must be able to observe a patient accurately. Candidates must be able to
acquire information from written documents, films, slides or videos. Candidates must also be able to interpret Xray and other graphic images, and digital or analog representations of physiologic phenomena, such as EKG’s
with or without the use of assistive devices. Thus, functional use of vision is necessary.
Oral-Auditory
o Candidates must be able to communicate effectively and sensitively with patients. Candidates must also be able
to communicate effectively and efficiently with other members of the health care team. In emergency
situations, candidates must be able to understand and convey information essential for the safe and effective
care of patients in a clear, unambiguous and rapid fashion. In addition, candidates must have the ability to relate
information to and receive information from patients in a caring and confidential manner. Thus, functional use
of hearing and speech is necessary.
Motor
o Candidates must possess the motor skills necessary to perform palpation, percussion, auscultation, and other
diagnostic maneuvers. Candidates must be able to execute motor movements reasonably required to provide
general and emergency medical care such as airway management, placement of intravenous catheters,
cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and application of pressure to control bleeding. These skills require coordination
of both gross and fine muscular movements, equilibrium and integrated use of the senses.
Cognitive
o In order to effectively solve clinical problems, candidates must be able to measure, evaluate, reason, analyze,
integrate and synthesize in a timely fashion. In addition, they must be able to comprehend three dimensional
relationships and to understand the special relationships of structures.
Social
o Candidates must possess the emotional health required for the full utilization of their intellectual abilities, for
the exercise of good judgment, for the prompt completion of all responsibilities attendant to the diagnosis and
care of patients, and for the development of effective relationships with patients. Candidates must be able to
tolerate physically taxing workloads and function effectively under stress. They must be able to adapt to
changing environments, display flexibility and learn to function in the face of uncertainties inherent in the
clinical problems of patients.
Experiential Learning Policy
The Augsburg Physician Assistant Program does not award academic credit to an individual for experiential learning.
Applicants desiring admission to Augsburg’s PA Program must satisfactorily complete all prerequisite courses.
Experiential learning will be considered separately from prerequisite courses. Experiential learning prior to and during
admittance to the Augsburg PA Program will not substitute for any part of the clinical year or preceptorship.
Employment while in the Program
Program faculty discourage outside employment while in the Physician Assistant Program. Faculty recognize that
employment may be an issue that some students will face. Given this recognition, realize that program obligations will
85
not be altered due to a student’s work obligations. It is further expected that work obligations will not interfere with the
physician assistant students’ learning progress or responsibilities while in the program.
Withdrawal and Readmission Policies
Voluntary withdrawal from the Physician Assistant Program may be initiated by a student after submission of a
letter to the program director requesting withdrawal. In the letter, the student should outline the circumstances
and reasons for withdrawal. Students will be requested to conduct an exit interview with the program director
prior to leaving the program. For information on withdrawal, see the Academic Policies section.
Readmission
Students may request readmission after voluntary withdrawal by submitting a letter to the program director stating the
reasons the student wishes readmission and the anticipated date for readmission. The submission of a letter and
previous enrollment does not constitute automatic acceptance and/or reentry into the program. Reapplication to the PA
Program after dismissal from the program will be considered only under extremely unusual circumstances.
For the full readmission policy and reapplication process, please contact the program.
Advanced Placement
The Department of PA Studies does not offer advanced placement to admitted students. All students admitted to the PA
Program must complete the entire curriculum.
Transfer
The Department of PA studies does not accept student transfers from other PA programs.

Master of Social Work
You have chosen an exciting way to serve others. The social work profession offers you the rewarding prospect of joining
with others to respond to problems and develop opportunities that benefit individuals, families, groups, and
communities. The MSW degree prepares you for advanced professional practice in the field of social work.
Augsburg’s MSW program prepares you for agency-based practice with individuals, families, groups, and communities,
and with a dedication to system change that reduces oppression and discrimination. Graduates of our program share
how they appreciated the opportunity to learn new ideas as well as learn more about themselves. These graduates
valued our small class size, our cohort structure, and the opportunity to have a mentoring relationship with our faculty
and staff. As a small program, we have high expectations for our students and at the same time offer the flexibility to
help them meet their individual goals.
Attending Augsburg College will transform and develop your professional life in unexpected ways. We have two
concentrations. The first, Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP), will prepare you for direct clinical practice with
individuals, families, and groups. The second, Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP), will prepare you for macro social
work practice with organizations, communities, and other large systems.
We are delighted in your interest in our MSW program and invite you to join us in a lifelong adventure in learning. The
personal and professional growth necessary to become an advanced professional social worker is challenging. We
encourage you to take the challenge with us.
Lois A. Bosch, PhD, LISW
Director, Master of Social Work
MSW Mission
Our mission is to develop social work professionals for advanced practice that promotes social justice and
empowerment towards the well-being of people in a diverse and global society.
Program Overview
The MSW program prepares social work students for agency-based practice in public and nonprofit settings. By working
in the agency setting, social workers collaborate with others to provide holistic, affordable, and accessible services to
individuals, families, groups, and communities. Our challenging MSW curriculum integrates social work theory with
micro and macro practice methods. Students develop skills, knowledge, and values necessary for ethical social work
practice. As you progress through our MSW program, you will:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Learn how individuals live in and are affected by their social environment
Understand how social policies and programs affect individuals, families, communities, and society
Apply theories and methods of practice through the field practicum experience
Use a range of client-centered approaches to practice with client groups of all types and sizes
Engage in practice informed by sound, scholarly research
Evaluate the effectiveness of your social work practice or social work programs
Advocate for the eradication of oppression and discrimination
Be a responsible and contributing citizen in the local and global community
Accreditation
Augsburg’s MSW program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). Your MSW degree must be
accredited by CSWE if you seek licensure with the social work board of your state. For more information on CSWE
accreditation go to www.cswe.org.
Augsburg College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and
Schools. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the About Augsburg College
section of this catalog.
87
Plan of Study
Students entering Augsburg’s MSW program with a bachelor’s degree from a discipline other than social work are
classified as foundation students. Full-time foundation students are enrolled in a two year program. Part-time
foundation students are enrolled in a four year program.
Students entering Augsburg’s MSW program with a bachelor’s degree in social work from a CSWE (Council on Social
Work Education) accredited institution are classified as advanced standing students. Advanced standing students are
enrolled in a 16 month program. The part-time option is not generally available for advanced standing students.
All students must complete the MSW degree in no more than 4 years following matriculation.
Academic Calendar
The MSW program meets on a semester calendar, with classes offered September through June. Classes typically meet
every other weekend with an occasional back-to-back weekend. Field practicum hours are generally completed during
weekday hours. If a student lives outside the Twin Cities metro, the field practicum hours can be completed at a
placement near the student’s place of residence. Hours per week vary depending on the agency placement and the
student’s availability. For academic calendars and schedules, go to www.augsburg.edu/registrar.
Class Periods
Classes meet in 3.5 hour blocks on Friday evenings, 6 to 9:30 pm; Saturday mornings, 8:30 am to 12 pm; and Saturday
afternoons, 1:15 to 4:45 pm. Each class meets for 8 sessions in a given semester and for 4 sessions in a summer term
(May-June), with the expectation that students engage in hybrid learning activities between on-campus class weekends.
Time Commitment
Although classes meet on weekends, students spend time on their studies during non-class weekends and weekdays in
accordance with our hybrid learning format. Hybrid learning is a combination of face-to-face class sessions and
online/experiential learning. On a class weekend, the typical student will spend 12 hours in class within a 23-hour
period. For every hour spent in class, a student may expect to spend 3 to 4 hours outside of class working on online
activities, assignments, readings, or group projects. A student may also spend 15 to 20 hours per week in the field
practicum during the fall and spring semesters (a span of 8 to 9 months for each practicum). In the final year of study,
students complete a summative evaluation or a portfolio, which requires significant independent research, analysis, and
writing.
Some MSW students work full-time while enrolled in the program. However, full-time employment is not
recommended. Most students arrange to reduce their work hours or request time away during their graduate studies.
Each student’s situation is unique and must be decided individually. All students must develop strategies for balancing
family, work, and academic responsibilities.
Credit and Contact Hours
MSW courses range from 2 to 4 semester credits. Depending on the number of credits, students will spend 16 to 32
hours in the classroom per course. Students will also be expected to engage in activities and independent study outside
of class.
Cohort Structure
MSW students are admitted to a particular cohort. Cohorts are distinguished by level of admission (foundation or
advanced standing), rate of attendance (full-time or part-time), and chosen concentration (Multicultural Clinical Practice
[MCCP] or Multicultural Macro Practice [MCMP]). Any changes to a student’s cohort selection must be approved by the
MSW director.
Field Practicum
Foundation students complete 920 hours in two field practica; advanced standing students complete 500 hours in one
field practicum. Successful completion of the first field practicum, required for foundation students, is a minimum of 420
hours. Successful completion of the second field practicum, required for both foundation and advanced standing
88
students, is a minimum of 500 hours. Each practicum experience is spread over two semesters (fall and spring). These
hours are completed concurrent with enrollment in the fieldwork seminars as well as other MSW courses.
MSW Curriculum Components
Foundation Curriculum
In the foundation courses and field practicum, you are introduced to social work as a profession. You will learn both
historical and contemporary theories and practice methods relating to both the individual and the environment. During
the foundation year, you will study human behavior and the social environment, history of social welfare policy,
research methods, assessment frameworks, family and community diversity, and social work values and ethics.
In the foundation curriculum you will apply this generalist knowledge of theories and practice methods in the generalist
field practicum. The field practicum is completed concurrently with your enrollment in two field seminar courses. The
full foundation curriculum is required of all students, with the exception of those admitted with advanced standing.
Before beginning the concentration curriculum, all foundation coursework and field hours must be successfully
completed.
Concentration Curriculum
After completing the foundation requirements, you will enroll in the concentration curriculum that you selected at the
time of application. You will also complete an advanced field practicum. Augsburg offers two concentrations:
Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) or Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP). In either concentration, you will deepen
your knowledge of the primary issues affecting families and communities, develop a range of client-centered approaches
to practice, gain a broader understanding of human diversity, develop competencies in practice-based research, and
learn practice or program evaluation techniques.
In the concentration curriculum, you will apply this advanced knowledge of theories and practice methods in the
concentration field practicum. The field practicum is relevant to your chosen concentration and is completed
concurrently with your enrollment in two field seminar courses. As a capstone to your MSW program, you will complete
a portfolio project or a summative evaluation project.
Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) Concentration
Multiculturalism is a process requiring practitioners to have a deep awareness of their social and cultural identities, as
well as the ability to use multiple lenses when working with diverse populations. With person-in-environment as an
organizing perspective, multicultural clinical social work practice addresses the biopsychosocial and spiritual functioning
of individuals, families, and groups. To this end, graduates of the MCCP concentration develop competence in using
relationship-based, culturally informed, and theoretically grounded interventions with persons facing challenges,
disabilities, or impairments, including emotional, behavioral, and mental disorders.
Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) Concentration
In the tradition of Jane Addams, the heart of macro social work practice is directing energy toward changing agency,
government, and institutional policies that obscure or oppress people. While many social workers view their role as
focused on individuals and families, social workers must actively seek equality and justice for clients within agencies,
institutions and society. Social work leaders must advocate for social change where necessary to ensure social justice.
Similar to the MCCP concentration, it is important to address macro level social work practice within the context of
cultural understanding and awareness. The Multicultural Macro Practice concentration (formerly Program Development,
Policy and Administration) responds to this demand for leadership.
The macro social work practitioner recognizes the strengths and abilities of individuals and communities to implement
change. The social work macro practitioner works with these individuals to do so. In the MCMP concentration, you will
learn the knowledge and skills necessary to work with others to achieve needed social change. You will also learn to
develop, lead, guide, and administer programs that serve diverse people in a variety of settings.
Portfolio or Summative Evaluation Project
•
Portfolio Project (MCCP students)
89
The goal of the MCCP Portfolio is to enhance the integration of theory and practice, as well as to offer more
vivid portrayals of a student’s academic and professional experience than traditional assessments. By definition,
portfolios are formative (i.e. designed for guided reflection and self-evaluation). However they are also
summative documents in that they illustrate students’ competencies. All MCCP students are required to create a
portfolio during their final year of study. Items in a portfolio might include videos, process recordings, reflective
statements, writing samples, case analyses, term papers, electronic submissions, policy activities, feedback from
service users, self-evaluations of personal progress, and links to references.
Summative Evaluation Project (MCMP students)
o All social workers must evaluate their practice to determine whether they are helping or harming clients. While
in the concentration practicum, MCMP students will design and implement a program evaluation for their
summative project. This project requires integration and application of knowledge and skills from both the
foundation and concentration curricula. Students develop their research while in their field internship and are
advised by their field seminar professor. Students conduct and present this evaluation/research project during
their final year of study.
o
•
Master’s Thesis
Students in both concentrations have the option of completing a thesis in addition to either the portfolio or summative
evaluation project. Credit for the SWK 699 general elective is given for this option. Students work with a thesis advisor to
develop more in-depth research skills contributing to social work knowledge. To pursue the thesis option, students
should notify the MSW program director by the end of spring semester of the foundation year.
Degree requirements
To be conferred the MSW degree, students must achieve the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Successful completion of any admission conditions (see Admission to MSW)
Successful completion of all required MSW courses
No more than two courses with a grade of 2.5 and with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher
Successful completion of 920 hours of approved field practica for foundation students or 500 hours of approved
field practicum for advanced standing students
Successful completion and submission of the portfolio project (MCCP) or the summative evaluation project (MCMP)
Successful completion of all degree requirements within 4 years of matriculation.
State of Minnesota Social Work Licensure
Six months prior to completion of the MSW degree at Augsburg, students may apply to take the Licensed Graduate
Social Worker (LGSW) license exam from the Minnesota Board of Social Work. To achieve LGSW licensure students must
pass the state board exam and complete the MSW degree.
To seek the Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) license or the Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
(LICSW) license, one must work two years full-time (or 4,000 hours part-time) as an LGSW under the supervision of an
LISW or LICSW. Upon completion of the supervision requirement, one may take the LISW or LICSW state board exam.
For more information, go to the Minnesota Board of Social Work web page, www.socialwork.state.mn.us.

offerings that rotate each year:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Parent and Professional Planning
Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Aging

Empowerment of Services Users in Mental Health
Children’s Mental Health
We also offer short-term electives abroad, typically two weeks in length: Exploring Human Services in International
Settings (examples include Mexico, Slovenia, Namibia, South Africa, India, Bolivia, China, and Hong Kong)
Fieldwork and Field Placement
Social work education goes beyond the classroom. Through the field experience, we expect that students will
demonstrate skills to bridge theory and practice. Collaborative efforts between the student, the field agency, and the
MSW program are essential to successful learning. The foundation of the practice includes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Ethical, competent professional practice
Problem solving within a systems framework and strengths perspective
Use of advanced practice theories in Multicultural Clinical Practice or Multicultural Macro Practice settings
Evaluation of the effectiveness of program or practice activities
An understanding of and respect for diverse peoples and cultures
Responsibility and service to the local and global community in the interest of social justice
A commitment to oppose oppression of all forms
Field Education Format
Under the instruction and supervision of professionally-trained, MSW-level, and program-approved field instructors,
foundation students will spend a minimum of 920 hours in two field practica. Advanced standing students will spend a
minimum of 500 hours in one field practicum. Both the foundation and concentration practica are spread over 2
semesters (fall and spring). Both practica are concurrent with enrollment in integrative field seminars, as well as other
MSW coursework.
The fieldwork education of the MSW program is divided into two components:
•
•
Foundation Practicum
o The foundation practicum, or generalist practicum, puts emphasis on developing competence as a professional
generalist social worker. It requires a minimum of 420 hours and is completed by students admitted at the
foundation level. Students spend an average of 15 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters in this
practicum.
Concentration Practicum
o The concentration practicum places emphasis on advanced practice skills and leadership qualities related to the
chosen concentration. It requires a minimum of 500 hours and is completed by all students, including those
admitted with advanced standing. Students spend an average of 18 hours per week during the fall and spring
semesters in this practicum.
Process for Field Practicum Selection
Field practica begin in the fall, but the selection process begins the previous spring in collaboration with two other Twin
Cities MSW programs. Students attend a field orientation before beginning their search. Augsburg College and the
University of Minnesota - School of Social Work jointly host a field fair where students meet a large number of agencies
and potential field instructors. Practicum selection involves interviews at approved sites, arranged by the student, and a
matching process conducted collaboratively by the field coordinators at the three MSW programs in the Twin Cities.
92
In some instances, students can petition to complete a field practicum at an agency not on the approved list or at their
place of employment. Students who wish to do so work with the MSW field coordinator for such proposals.
Field Practicum Settings
The Augsburg field faculty are committed to the success of each student in a stimulating and challenging field practicum.
Our current list of approved clinical and community practice field sites includes agencies in the following areas of
practice:

Dual Degree in Social Work and Theology (MSW/MA, Theology)
Augsburg College’s Department of Social Work (Minneapolis) and Luther Seminary (St. Paul) offer a dual degree: Master
of Social Work and Master of Arts in Theology (MSW/MA). The dual degree has been approved by both institutions and
by the Council on Social Work Education. If you are interested in combining a Master of Social Work with a Master of
Arts in Theology, we recommend you begin the Luther Seminary program first and identify yourself as seeking the dual
degree. For application information to Luther Seminary, visit their website at www.luthersem.edu/admissions/.
Purpose
The dual degree focuses on meeting the educational interests of people planning to serve the spiritual and social needs
of families, individuals, and communities in both rural and urban settings. Both institutions have a commitment to social
and economic justice and to teamwork in the pastoral and human service settings. This joint program is ecumenical in its
admission policies as well as its academic outlook.
Objectives
Three primary objectives have been established:
•
To educate practitioners in social work and ministry who can combine the values, skills, and knowledge of both
theology and social work to serve people in more holistic ways
93
•
•
To generate the partnerships necessary to serve the complex needs of communities and people experiencing
transition in their lives, including the change of government support for those in poverty
To prepare practitioners to seek the strengths of interdisciplinary teams in the human service and pastoral settings.
Enrollment
We recommend that dual degree students enroll in Luther Seminary courses first. Upon completion of this first year of
courses, students then enroll in Augsburg courses for a second and third year (full-time). In the dual degree, Luther
Seminary offers nine courses which can be completed in one year if pursued full-time. The remaining Luther Seminary
course requirements are waived and replaced by the Augsburg MSW curriculum. At Augsburg, dual degree students
complete the entire MSW curriculum with the exception of the SWK 699 general elective.
Course Format and Field Practicum
Luther Seminary courses are offered on a weekday schedule and Augsburg College courses are offered on a weekend
schedule. The field practicum is incorporated into the Augsburg curriculum and will be in a setting reflective of the dual
degree program, such as congregational multidisciplinary teams, nursing home chaplaincy, and social work teams. The
Luther Seminary program and the Augsburg College program are both full-time; it is not feasible for students to do both
programs simultaneously.

Admission to the Dual Degree
It is the responsibility of dual degree students to be aware of application deadlines for both institutions. Applicants must
apply to each program separately. Please note: admission to one institution does not guarantee admission to the other.
To request the catalog and application materials, you must contact each program separately. Financial aid is also a
separate process.
Dual Degree in Social Work and Business Administration (MSW/MBA)
Augsburg College offers a dual MSW/MBA degree in social work and business administration. Students enrolled in the
dual degree program learn to create better managed and financially sound service organizations to serve diverse
communities, both locally and globally.
Purpose
Many social service agencies today require that agency managers combine financial and business expertise with social
work practice and policy formation. The MSW/MBA dual degree prepares graduates to function in a workplace that
demands the delivery of quality services with increasingly limited resources.
Concentration
The MSW/MBA dual degree includes an accelerated third year of study for MSW students who elect the Multicultural
Macro Practice (MCMP) concentration. In this concentration, students learn to effect positive change in social service
systems through their work with communities, organizations, and social policy makers. Prior Augsburg MSW graduates
who have completed the necessary Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) coursework are eligible to return to complete
the MBA portion of the dual degree.
Schedule
Years 1 and 2 (September through June)
MSW classes meet on alternating weekends—Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, and Saturday afternoons—and
students engage in hybrid learning activities between class weekends.
94
Year 3 (12–16 months)
MBA classes meet one night per week. The MBA program includes a summer term. See the MBA section for required
courses for the dual degree.

Academic Policies
Academic Achievement
Students must maintain at least a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the MSW program. If a student falls below a 3.0
average, the student will be placed on academic probation. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in
order for a student to be removed from probation. If the cumulative grade point average again falls below 3.0, the
student may be dismissed from the program. Students are retained in the program who can:
•

Abide by the department’s Standards for Social Work Education and the NASW Code of Ethics
No more than two courses with a grade of 2.5 will count toward the degree. Courses with a grade below 2.5 must be
repeated. No more than two courses can be repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are counted
in the grade point average. If a student receives a grade below 2.5 in a field course, the MSW director will initiate a Level
3 review, as outlined in section 3.2 of the Standards for Social Work Education.
Evaluation of Student Field Performance
The criteria for evaluating field performance can be found in the MSW Field Manual, which is distributed to newlyadmitted students at our field orientation prior to seeking the field placement.

Leave of Absence
Students who interrupt their program enrollment must request a leave of absence through the MSW program in order
to maintain their admitted status. The request must be made in writing or via the student’s Augsburg email account. A
leave of absence typically requires a full year away from the program in order to return to classes in sequence.

courses until successfully completing all foundation courses. In addition there are individual courses that are
prerequisite to other individual courses in the MSW curriculum. These are listed in the MSW Handbook.
Program Costs
In addition to tuition fees, MSW students can expect to a pay a facilities fee and a field program fee. Students can also
expect to purchase textbooks and student liability insurance when in a field placement. There may also be additional
fees associated with short-term electives abroad.
Graduate Scholarship Search Tips
As you may know, graduate students do not have access to many of the financial aid opportunities open to
undergraduates. Because of this, we strongly encourage you to spend time doing your own independent research into
graduate funding available locally, nationally, and internationally.
The simplest way to begin a search for graduate funding is to look online. There are many scholarship search engines
online. The following websites may provide a good starting point for your search:

Greetings from the Academic Affairs Office
Welcome to graduate studies at Augsburg College. We are committed to education that prepares people for leadership
in their communities and places of work. We believe that learning based upon intentional integration of the liberal and
professional arts and sciences provides the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of
today and tomorrow.
We expect our graduate students to achieve tangible and measurable outcomes from their studies at Augsburg:
specialized knowledge in a field of study, applied and collaborative learning, advanced intellectual skills (especially in
engaging diverse perspectives and communication fluency), and demonstrated civic and global learning.
When you join Augsburg, you become part of a community that offers lifelong learning opportunities in state-of-the-art
physical and online classrooms with accessible libraries and dedicated faculty and staff. Our locations in vital
metropolitan areas and the opportunities we provide for international travel offer exciting and challenging real-life
learning. Cities and countries become extended campuses for Augsburg students. Additionally, the diversity in our own
campus community ensures that our graduates are prepared for the range of experiences and perspectives that
characterize today’s global environment.
All of our graduate programs share distinctive qualities, including our commitment and mission to be of service, with
one another and to our neighbors. Inspired by the faith of our Lutheran founders to be inclusive to the early immigrants
who came to Augsburg’s doors, we welcome a diversity of cultures and faiths. And, we encourage interdisciplinary
courses and opportunities for you to study with colleagues across disciplines.
At the same time, each graduate program also has its own “neighborhood” and unique features. You join a body of
experienced people that expands your network of employer connections and career opportunities. We encourage our
alumni to become your mentors and build on our city and global connections through public events, including our
convocations and our annual, internationally-recognized Nobel Peace Prize Forum.
We are companions on your journey in fulfilling your dream of a graduate degree and we cannot wait to meet you.
Sincerely,
Lori A. Peterson
Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate and Professional Studies

About Augsburg
At Augsburg College, we believe that graduate education should prepare gifted people for positions of leadership in
their communities and places of work. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major
field of study, but also the ability to apply critical thinking, problem solving, and advanced communication skills in a
collaborative approach within that discipline, thereby engaging others with diverse perspectives in the work of
advancing civic and global initiatives critical for a sustainable future.
The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg mission, informed by the liberal and professional arts and sciences,
to serve our neighbors in the heart of the city and out into the world with faith-based, ethical values. We welcome
students from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Also, our programs look to the world through international
courses and cultural exchanges.
Mission Statement
Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to
the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission:
Augsburg College 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.
Augsburg Today
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, Minnesota in 1872. A Rochester, Minnesota campus was added in 2002. A short history of
Augsburg College can be found at www.augsburg.edu/about/history.
Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of its founders who believed:
Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically
and broadly about the world and the work we do in it.
An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and centers of faith.
The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment.
The vision of the College’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.

A Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s graduate programs is participation in a community of adult learners. This community
is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of
community interaction, Augsburg encourages students to make use of all College facilities, whether a student in
Minneapolis or Rochester, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and
lecture/speaker events.
Graduate Faculty
The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and
commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching and
service to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of
research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic
faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories.
Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as
academic advisors and participate regularly in campus activities.

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 College 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
College. The student must request to review their education records in writing with their signature. The College 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.
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 College 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 College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection
10
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 College 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 College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or
organizations outside of Augsburg College 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 College 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.
Annual Security Report
The Annual Security Report (ASR) for Augsburg College 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 www.augsburg.edu/dps/reports. For a printed copy, contact
Augsburg’s Department of Public Safety at 612-330-1717.

Graduate Admissions
All graduate programs require students to have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited four-year institution or
an equivalent degree from outside the US.
All graduate students must submit completed applications. Each graduate program also has additional program
requirements, which may include coursework, professional experience, testing, etc. See the program sections for these
additional requirements.
Please refer to each individual program’s catalog section (below) for additional instructions and for detailed information
on applying to graduate programs, refer to the Graduate Admissions website at www.augsburg.edu/grad.
Readmission
Graduate students who have not registered for courses at Augsburg College for two or more semesters, must apply for
readmission through the Registrar’s Office to resume attendance. Students who have attended other institutions during
their absence from Augsburg must have an official transcript sent from each institution to the Registrar’s Office.
Returning students do not pay the application fee.
The last day to receive approval for readmission to the College and register for classes is the Friday prior to the start of
the term. Pending approval by the graduate program, students who left on probation or who were dismissed from the
College must have their readmission application and file reviewed by the program director. (Please consult with
individual programs for information regarding readmission process).
Non-degree Student Admission
Individuals may take coursework at Augsburg College as a non-degree-seeking student. Non-degree students can enroll
on a space-available basis. Registration dates are included in the College’s Academic Calendar. Admission requires
program director approval, and the student must be in good standing at all previously attended institutions.
To apply for admission as a non-degree seeking student, submit the completed application, academic intent, and
unofficial transcript from the bachelor’s degree granting institution to the Admissions Office. Some programs may have
additional application requirements.
A bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution is the minimum requirement for admission. Students who
have earned a bachelor’s degree outside of the United States must submit a copy of a foreign credential evaluation from
World Education Services (WES) to confirm it is equivalent to a United States bachelor’s degree or greater.
Non-degree status is conferred for only one term of enrollment. Additional terms require reapplication as a non-degree
seeking student. Students may count up to 6-8 semester credits earned as a non-degree seeking student toward an
Augsburg College degree with approval from the program director.
Non-degree seeking students who wish to pursue a degree must reapply for admission by submitting the completed
application, academic intent, official transcript from the bachelor’s degree granting institution, and any additional
materials required by the program.
International Students Admission
Augsburg College graduate programs encourage qualified applicants from other countries to apply.
An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a “full course of study” to achieve a specific educational or
professional objective at an academic institution in the United States that has been designated by the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of study to such students, and has been enrolled in SEVIS (Student and
Exchange Visitor Information System).
A student acquires F-1 status using form I-20, issued by a DHS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in one
of two ways:
If the student is abroad, by entering the United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a US consulate.
13
If the student is already in the United States and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the I-20 to USCIS (United
States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an application for change of nonimmigrant status.
A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer from another DHS-approved school to Augsburg by following
the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations.
In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students
must also comply with the following:
English Proficiency Requirements for International Graduate Applicants

Foreign Credential Evaluation
Augsburg requires foreign credential evaluation for any transcript(s) from an institution outside of the United States.
This evaluation should include the following:
Analysis of credentials to determine if your degree is equivalent to an accredited US bachelor’s degree
Verification the degree is equivalent, at a minimum, to a four-year US bachelor’s degree is required.
Course-by-course evaluation to show your complete course listing with credit values and grades received for each
course, may also be required for specific programs.
Calculation of grade point average to demonstrate your cumulative grade point average using the standard US
grading system, i.e., A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0.
Translation to English (if applicable)
The evaluation report must be sent directly to Augsburg’s Office of Admissions. Refer to World Education Services at
www.wes.org for information on how to obtain a foreign credential evaluation.
Proof of Financial Support
International applicants must provide reliable documentation that they have financial resources adequate to meet
expenses for the duration of their academic program, which include tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and
board, health insurance, personal expenses, and living expenses for dependents (if applicable).
Funds may come from any dependable source, including scholarships, fellowships, sponsoring agencies, personal funds,
or funds from the student’s family. Documentation of scholarships and fellowships may be in the form of an official
award letter from the school or sponsoring agency; documentation of personal or family funds should be on bank
letterhead stationery, or in the form of a legally binding affidavit. Government Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, or
Augsburg’s Financial Sponsorship form can be used to document support being provided by a US citizen or US legal
14
permanent resident. All financial documents such as bank statements must be dated within three months prior to the
date of application.
Health Insurance
All F-1 international students and their dependents (if applicable) are required to have adequate health insurance
coverage for the duration of their program. International students will be enrolled in the Augsburg international student
plan unless they fill out a waiver verifying proof of coverage through an alternative provider for the same period.

Tuition
Students are charged per credit. All associated costs must be paid by the beginning of each semester to avoid accruing
finance charges, unless you have enrolled in an official payment plan through Student Financial Services.
Fees
Specific courses or programs may have additional fees associated with them, such as lab or supply fees.
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/make-a-payment. 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 College offers payment plan options for all students. Information about payment plans is available online at
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts.
Financial Aid
All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must establish financial aid eligibility on an annual basis.
This includes completing the application process as outlined below and making satisfactory academic progress. In order
to maintain eligibility in financial aid programs, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the
attainment of their degree or certificate as stipulated in the College catalog.
16
Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of grants and loans. The College cooperates with
federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs.
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).
Institutional Grants/Discounts
Augsburg offers grants/discounts for a variety of different students. Specific information about the different grants and
scholarships, along with eligibility requirements, can be found online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/paymentplans-and-discounts.
Loan Assistance
Graduate students must be enrolled at least half-time in order to receive federal loans. Three semester credits per term
is considered half-time. Six semester credits per term is considered full-time.
Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Student 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 Graduate Loan Program (PLUS)
Graduate PLUS is a loan program to help graduate students meet college costs. Students may borrow up to the cost
of attendance (minus all other student financial aid).
Further information about loan programs can be found online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
Federal regulations require that all higher education institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether
students [1] receiving financial aid [2] 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.
Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress
1) Minimum GPA requirements: Graduate Students must maintain a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA based on the entire
academic record.
2) Minimum Credits Completed: Graduate Students must earn a cumulative 67% of the credits attempted based on
the entire academic record. A completed credit has a grade of 4.0 – 2.5 or P. Credits earned and completed will
include accepted cumulative transfer credits as defined by the Registrar’s Office. Unsatisfactory grades “W
17
(withdrawn),” “I (Incomplete),” “F (Zero),” and “N (Not Passing)” are counted towards the cumulative attempted
credits. Repeat Courses and remedial courses are not counted towards the cumulative attempted credits.
3) Maximum Time Frame: To demonstrate academic progress, graduate students must complete their degree
objective within 150% of the length of the program.
Monitoring and Evaluating Progress
In order to ensure SAP standards are being met, the office of Student Financial Services will evaluate and monitor the
students’ academic achievement at the end of each term. After the student’s record is evaluated and the Student
Financial Services Office determined the student to be unsatisfactory, the student will be placed on Financial Aid
Warning or Financial Aid Probation. Students will be notified through their Augsburg email if they fail to meet SAP
standards.
Financial Aid Warning
In order to ensure SAP standards are being met, the Office of Student Financial Services will evaluate and monitor the
students’ academic achievement at the end of each term. After the student’s record is evaluated and the Student
Financial Services Office determined the student to be unsatisfactory, the student will be placed on Financial Aid
Warning or Financial Aid Suspension. Students will be notified through their Augsburg email if they fail to meet SAP
standards.
Financial Aid Suspension
A student who fails to meet either the minimum GPA requirement and/or minimum credits attempted while on
Financial Aid Warning will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. A student on Financial Aid Suspension is ineligible to
receive any form of financial aid. A student on Financial Aid Suspension may submit an appeal to reinstate their financial
aid. Financial Aid Suspension will conclude when the student meets SAP standards, or successfully appeals.
Financial Aid will be suspended when a student placed on Financial Aid Suspension does not meet SAP standards.
Because grades may not be available before the beginning of the next scheduled term, it is possible that financial aid
may be disbursed to a student before the review can be conducted. In the event that a student is found to be ineligible
for the financial aid that has been disbursed due to a failure to meet one of the Standards, the aid that was disbursed
will be canceled, and returned to the appropriate program(s).
Right to Appeal
Students who have had their financial aid suspended may submit the SAP Appeal Form to the Student Financial Services
Office. The appeal must be submitted within 7 days of notification of unsatisfactory status or by the due date given on
the appeal letter. The SAP Appeal Form must be completely filled out, along with any additional documents required by
the Committee. The appeal should state reasons why the student failed to meet SAP standards, and what changed for
the student that will allow the student to demonstrate progress towards meeting SAP standards. The appeal will be
decided by the SAP Committee. All decisions made by the Committee are final.
If a student’s appeal is approved they will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. If a student’s appeal is denied they will
remain on Financial Aid Suspension and will remain ineligible for financial aid.
Financial Aid Probation
A student who has been placed on Financial Aid Suspension and successfully appeals SAP will be place on Financial Aid
Probation. A student on Financial Aid Probation will be eligible to receive financial aid. Financial Aid Probation will last
for one term. If at the end of the term, the students meets SAP standards, the Financial Aid Probation will conclude.
Students currently on Financial Aid Probation who do not meet the standards at the end of the term will be placed on
Financial Aid Suspension.
18
Student Account Financial Disclosure
Students at Augsburg College 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 College Tuition Refund Policy. Statements and account history are available online through AugNet Records
and Registration.
Augsburg College may require someone to co-sign on the students’ 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 College, 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.
Financial Policies
Registration is permitted only if the student’s account for a previous term is paid in full or if the student is making
scheduled payments in accordance with an approved payment plan.
Augsburg College will not release student academic transcripts or graduation diplomas/certificates until all student
account charges are paid in full or, in the case of student loan funds administered by the College (Federal Perkins
Student Loan), are current according to established repayment schedules and the loan entrance and exit interviews have
been completed.
Tuition Refund Policy
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,
19
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 College is required to refund
financial aid to the appropriate sources according to federal or Augsburg refund policies based on the last recorded date
of attendance. Students are responsible for the entire cost of the term including the portion previously covered by
financial aid should they stop attending. Students are strongly urged to follow guidelines for complete withdrawal from
college. If there are extenuating circumstances, a petition to have the cost of tuition refunded can be made. Petition
forms are available online through the Registrar’s Office website.
A student who registers, does not attend any classes, and does not withdraw may petition to withdraw retroactively.
The student must petition within six months of the end of term and provide proof of non-attendance. Proof can include,
but is not limited to, statements from each instructor that the student never attended, or documentation of attendance
for the term at another college or university. If approved, grades of W will be recorded and tuition charges for the term
will be replaced with an administrative cancellation fee of $300.
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 Aid Policy
Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester. A student can earn their aid by attending classes,
or in the event of hybrid/online courses, be an active participant in the course.
Federal/State Aid Adjustments
Augsburg is required to return unearned federal/state aid for students who fully withdraw from their courses. Student
are eligible to keep more aid the longer they attend their courses. 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.
20
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.
Credit Refund Policy
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 (You can verify your financial aid status online through Track Your Financial Aid) and applied to
a student’s account (Check your Transaction History online to verify all of your financial aid has been applied to your
account and nothing is left pending) before the credit refund can be issued.
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 credit 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 30-45 days to be processed.
Bookstore Policy
Students who are registered for the upcoming term will be allowed to charge up to $600 to their student account.
Students DO NOT need to request a bookstore account this year.
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.
Students’ accounts will be billed for only what was spent on their bookstore accounts before credit refunds are 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 $600 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, who is 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.
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:

Student Resources/Academic and Support Services
Library and Information Technology Services
The James G. Lindell Family Library opened in 1997. The four-level, 73,000-square-foot facility houses the library and
information technology functions of the College as well as the Gage Center for Student Success. In addition to its large
collection of print volumes, e-books, and e-journals, Lindell Library includes special collections and archives, a curriculum
library, a computer lab and student computing help desk, a library instruction classroom, and facilities for media viewing
and listening. Skyways link the library to Oren Gateway Center and Sverdrup Hall.
Learning Commons
Within Lindell Library, a Learning Commons provides assistance in research and the use of technology as well as spaces
for collaborative learning.
Library Resources
Students can search a wide variety of local, regional, national, and international databases. They have access to 120
databases, 27,000 e-journals, 52,445 e-books, and 177,000 print volumes within Lindell Library and, through a daily
courier service, access to the library holdings of six other private liberal arts colleges in the Twin Cities. In addition,
Lindell Library has a large collection of media resources. A service-oriented staff provides students and faculty with
research assistance and instruction in the use of information resources. Arrangements are made for access by students
with physical limitation and special needs.
Information Technology Resources
Augsburg College has built a reputation as a leader in its commitment to provide students with relevant and timely
access to information technology and training. Visit the Student Technology website, inside.augsburg.edu/techdesk, for
more on Information Technology at Augsburg.
Computing
Students have access to more than 250 on-campus computers. Both PC and Macintosh desktop computers are available
in the Lindell Library Learning Commons and computer lab, and in the 24-hour Urness computer lab. The College has five
computer classrooms, 41 technology-enhanced classrooms and one video conferencing-enabled classroom. The
circulation desk in Lindell Library has 45 wireless laptops available for use in the library.
Several computer clusters are available for more specific student use within academic departments. A high-speed fiber
optic campus network provides access to AugNet online services, printing, and to the internet. Network-ready student
machines can connect to the campus network from residence hall rooms or any building on campus using WiFi. All of the
AugNet online services are available securely on- and off-campus.
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, and other cognitive disabilities, and for students
with physical disabilities such as TBI, chronic illness, mobility impairments, and vision, hearing, or speech impairments,
and temporary disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain access to the
college curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and challenging, yet
supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds, preparations, and experiences.
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. Typically, meetings are held weekly 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
23
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 college faculty,
staff, or administration to support each student as they work toward success. 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.
CLASS services are made possible in part through endowment support provided by the Gage family and the Groves
Foundation. For further information, call 612-330-1053.

Academic Programs and Policies
Academic Calendars
All of our graduate programs meet on a semester calendar. Academic Calendars can be found at
www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change without notice.
Academic Policies
The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the
American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges.
Academic Honesty
A college is a community of learners whose relationship relies on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity
and credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg College community. Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a
College requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student
pledging to abide by the College’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity.
(See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide).
Evaluation and Grading
Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0
achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for details of field study and special projects. Students must
achieve a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards
Policy. Grading option cannot be changed from traditional (0.0 - 4.0) to Pass/No Credit.

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. Graduate students will be charged an audit fee of $1,000. The written permission 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 towards graduation.
Withdrawal 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.
25
Incomplete (I) Grades
An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student
emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of
passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a
student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Registrar’s Office that states the reasons for the
request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The
instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; 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 the filing of a grade
before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the
specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0.
Extension (X) Grades
Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case,
they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A
grade of X (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 instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being
maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not
longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not
demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned.
Repeated Courses
A course in which a grade of FN, 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in
which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses
taken each term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and
grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point
average. Courses completed at Augsburg College must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat policy.
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade
points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not
computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is:
GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted, i.e., courses with 0.0 to 4.0 grade assigned.
Attendance
Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation
may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students
to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements
to address the needs of particular courses, individual students, or various learning styles.
Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the
professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible,
students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible.
Non-Attendance/Non-Participation
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. 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 and Academic/Financial Petition.
26
Graduate Continuation Policy
Students registering for the final project course must complete the Final Project Registration/Graduate Continuation
Contract by the last day to add with faculty signature for a Full Semester class as noted on the Academic Calendar. Upon
receipt of the contract, the Registrar’s Office will enroll the student in the Continuation Program for 13 semesters. Entry
into the Continuation Program maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, including library and AugNet
Services.
Students can request an extension of up to 3 semesters beyond the initial 13 semesters to the program director by
completing the Graduate Continuation Extension Contract. Approval of the extension is at the discretion of the program
director. If a grade is not received and an extension has not been granted by the grading deadline of the 13th semester,
the grade will change from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project after receiving a failing grade must
meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students who are readmitted may
need to complete additional coursework and will need to pay tuition and fees for any additional courses. If/when the
final project course is completed, the new grade would replace the previous N grade.
Students may withdraw from the College, and thus from the Continuation Program and the final project course, at any
point during the continuation period and receive a W notation on the transcript for the final project course. Following a
withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and
program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional coursework and will need to pay full tuition
and fees for any additional courses. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would replace the
previous W grade.
Credit and Contact Hours
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.
All Augsburg programs follow the semester calendar with semester lengths from 14-16 weeks. Augsburg offers a
summer semester which follows the same format as both fall and spring semester. Students must take at least 3 credits
to be considered half-time, and 6 or more credits to be considered full-time. Students may take up to 22 credits.
Degree Requirements
To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following:
Successful completion of all required courses
A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy.
Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed
continuation agreement with Augsburg College.
Probation and Dismissal
Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the
student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be
restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistant must consult
the PA Program Progression Standards Policy.
A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more
terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out
with the program director.
Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the
College.
27
Dismissal Appeals Process
A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the College’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are
limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate negatively affected the outcome.
The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard copy of the statement of appeal to the Assistant Vice
President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate Studies (AVP-Graduate Studies); email is not acceptable. The
statement must identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The
statement of appeal will be the only basis of the student’s appeal. The AVP-Graduate Studies must receive the student’s
statement of appeal within 14 calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal.
The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the statement of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must
submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within 15 business days of the date that the statement was
received by the AVP-Graduate Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVPGraduate Studies. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the program’s response to the student.
The AVP-Graduate Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the AVP-Graduate
Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty members (one from programs not named in the appeal:
Business, Creative Writing, Education, Leadership, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, Social Work). The Program
Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s statement of
response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures and ask
questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each bring
a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg College faculty member, staff member, or student). The role
of the third party representative is to provide support to the student or the program representative, not to serve as an
advocate during the meeting.
Dropping or Withdrawing
Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or with a Registration Form. To
see the drop and withdrawal deadlines, see the Academic Calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar.
Independent Study
Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty
sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director
in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered
in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special independent study registration form
is required and is available on the Registrar’s Office website.
Term Off
Students may take a term off for up to two semesters and have continued access to Augsburg e-mail and AugNet
Services. If a student is not registered after 10th day of the third semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the
student will need to submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll.
For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of
program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their advisor and obtain the
advice of their director.
Evaluation of Transfer Credit
Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit
will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide appropriate documentation regarding
previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be
considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university institution and graded 3.0/B
or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program
requirements at Augsburg.
28
The maximum number of semester credits that can be transferred is:
Master of Arts in Education (6)
Master of Arts in Leadership (6)
Master of Arts in Nursing (9)
Master of Business Administration (18)
Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (12)
Master of Music Therapy (Contact program director)
Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator)
Master of Social Work (22)
Doctor of Nursing Practice (Contact program director)
Augsburg credits are calculated in semester hours. If you completed courses at other institutions that are quarter hours,
they will be converted to semester hours. One quarter hour equates to two-thirds of a semester hour.
Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded 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.
29
Master of Arts in Education
Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and
elsewhere. The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program combines our excellent undergraduate licensure coursework
with a master’s level coursework focused on teacher leadership, preparing teachers to serve K-12 students effectively
and to nurture healthy change within schools and school systems.
Our Philosophy
The Education Department program themes include relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and
leadership. One of these themes - leadership - is lived out within the MAE program. As this program theme suggests, we
expect our students to leave our programs as responsive, knowledgeable teachers prepared to exercise leadership in the
classroom and, eventually, the school and community.
Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through a combination of course content, field
experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students will leave our programs as collaborative and capable
teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world.
Our Faculty
Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors, all of whom
have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all full-time faculty
members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision, volunteer
work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do. We value
good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers.
Our Accessibility
We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and personal
responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of
licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings to allow you to manage these responsibilities while
pursuing your goals. You will need to be available during the weekday for the challenge and responsibility of field
experiences, but education coursework is accessible through the evening schedules*.
As a student in Augsburg’s Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among
interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly-qualified teacher—
the teacher you can become.
*By the end of Spring 2015 our licensure programs will have been fully transitioned from a weekend to an evening
schedule. New students will be in the evening program. For the time being, end of program MAE degree completion
options will remain on the weekend schedule.
Education Department Mission
The mission of the Augsburg Education Department is to develop responsive, knowledgeable teachers committed to
educating all learners in a diverse and changing world.
Program Themes
Responsive, knowledgeable teachers understand the dynamic interaction among relationships, reflection and inquiry,
diversity and equity, and leadership. These four interrelated program themes provide lenses through which we filter our
practice.
Relationships
Learning is relational and communal. Responsive teachers create significant relationships with their students,
colleagues, and community partners by developing learning communities. These nurturing learning communities provide
safe, trustworthy places where challenging and engaging questions can be considered. We model the kinds of learning
communities that we expect our graduates to create. We share with our students a learning model that connects
30
content, theory, and practice in an ongoing cycle. Students and their learning are the focus for responsive teachers.
Therefore we embrace and foster a progressive and constructivist orientation.
Reflection and Inquiry
Responsive teachers are reflective practitioners who are students of teaching and learning. Providing numerous
frameworks through which to filter our experience encourages intentional and thoughtful inquiry. Through field
placements, service learning, generative questions, and classroom experiences, students and faculty develop their
perspectives about teaching and learning. Critical reflection allows us to examine content, theory, and practice in ways
that transform our practice. We think it is important to understand and learn how to manage the many polarities
inherent in the teaching and learning process.
Diversity and Equity
Responsive teachers embrace diversity and intentionally work to ensure that all learners, especially those who for some
reason have been marginalized, learn and develop in powerful ways. We continually reflect on what it means to be a
“school in the city.” We recognize that each student is unique, shaped by culture and experience; therefore,
differentiating instruction is essential. The perspective of multiple intelligences, learning style theory and teaching for
understanding help us differentiate and enable us to provide choice, variety, and flexibility. Responsive teachers believe
that all students can learn. They also have a sense of efficacy and believe that they can help all students learn.
Leadership
Responsive teachers recognize that becoming a learning leader is a developmental process, which begins in pre-service
education and continues throughout one’s career. Teachers serve as leaders within the classroom, and with experience,
increased confidence, and professional development become leaders within the school, the district, and the community.
Teacher leaders view themselves as lifelong learners. They become role models committed to their profession as a
vocation rather than a job. Emerging teacher leaders keep student learning at the center of their work while advocating
for instructional innovation, constructivist curricular development, and systemic change.
Master of Arts in Education Conceptual Framework
Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion program. The
Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their
institutions and communities.
The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the
combined undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as
well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students
are required to include coursework focused on leadership and study aspects of leadership as part of their degree
program. Third, the final project—be it an action research, a leadership application project, or performance assessment
—gives students the opportunity to study an issue of concern and, supported by research, define a means for addressing
it.
Three Teacher Leadership Aspirations inform our program. They are as follows:
Aspiration 1: Teacher leaders value learning for personal and professional growth. Teacher leaders share knowledge
effectively with colleagues. We believe that teacher leaders are comfortable with their knowledge and expertise,
neither flaunting it nor hiding it, but sharing it with others generously. They work to build bridges with a full range of
colleagues, but they don’t let recalcitrant colleagues stop their own development. They see learning as a continuous
endeavor and seek it throughout their careers.
Aspiration 2: Teachers leaders think big—beyond the classroom to the broader context of education and community.
We believe that teacher leaders see systems and the “big picture” and are able to put their classrooms, schools, and
communities into a broader context. They understand the link between policies, politics, and education and participate
in change efforts at the macro and micro levels. They seek to work with administrators to establish school and district
policy that improves life for everyone. If this involves political action, they are prepared to engage in it. Teacher leaders
31
also understand that teaching and learning are dynamic and that change within school systems is an ever-present
phenomenon. They are informed decision-makers predisposed to take on the challenge of change when they think it
benefits students, teachers, and/or community.
Aspiration 3: Teacher leaders possess courage and an orientation to action. We believe that teacher leaders help
others not be afraid. They are able to help people to take warranted risks and step outside their comfort zones. They
have the courage to bring people together to see the bigger picture and then help people get there. Teacher leaders
accept both power and accountability. They understand that responsibility without power diminishes potential for
effectiveness. They believe that accountability is a fair trade for the power to take effective action. They operate from a
foundation of self-efficacy.
Program Overview
The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) is designed to provide a teaching license as part of a master’s degree program. K12 initial teaching licenses offered at Augsburg include:
Elementary education (K-6), with or without a middle school content area endorsement in math, communication
arts, social studies, or science. Subject matter courses for these endorsements may need to be taken in the weekday
schedule or at a community college when unavailable through evening course work.
Secondary education (5-12 and K-12) in social studies, communication arts/literature, visual arts, health,
mathematics, music, and physical education, 9-12 in biology, chemistry, and physics, and 5-8 general science .
Subject matter courses for these licenses may need to be taken in the weekday schedule or at a community college
when unavailable through evening course work. Augsburg requires that at least two content area courses are taken
at Augsburg.
Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE degree through the following four licensure endorsement
options:
K-12 English as a Second Language
K-12 Special Education: Academic Behavior Strategist
All teachers seeking licensure through Augsburg must take and pass all tests required by the state of Minnesota for
licensure. These include tests in basic skills, pedagogy and content area knowledge.
Accreditations and Approvals
Augsburg College Teacher Education programs are accredited and approved by:
National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE)
Minnesota Board of Teaching. (MN BOT)
Augsburg College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and
Schools. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the listing in the
Accreditation, Approvals, and Memberships section of this catalog.
Program Structure
The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program is made up of a core of education licensure courses at the graduate level
coupled with a degree completion option. Courses in the degree completion phase are drawn from the Master of Arts in
Leadership (MAL) and graduate courses in education. Most students in the MAE program pursue a teaching license as
part of their program plan.
The MAE degree is also open to students who do not want a teaching license but do want a background in education
and leadership. See the MAE program director for details.
The MAE degree requires ten or eleven Augsburg graduate level courses, depending on the degree completion option. In
addition, several courses at the undergraduate level are required for licensure. Only courses taken at the graduate level
apply towards the MAE degree.
32
Credit
MAE graduate level courses are offered for 3 semester credits. Each course is comprised of 37.5 instructional hours with
the expectation of about 75 hours of independent study outside of class.
Schedule
The majority of the education courses in the MAE licensure and degree programs are offered through the AU evening
schedule. Courses in this schedule meet face to face every other week with online instruction during the alternate
weeks. A few education courses and many undergraduate content area courses are offered in a face to face, classroom
based format, meeting weekly in the evenings. The MAL and education degree completion courses are offered primarily
in a weekend schedule through a mix of face-to-face and online instruction. Summer session courses are offered
primarily weekday evenings. Summer courses are offered in a mix of formats from all online to all face-to-face.
The following teaching licenses are available almost entirely through the evening and summer schedule: elementary
education, 5-12 social studies, 5-12 communication arts, K-12 art, K-12 special education, and K-12 English as a second
language.
Additional licenses in the following areas are available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, summer
schedules, and, occasional off-campus courses: biology, chemistry, health, mathematics, music, physical education, and
physics. For these licenses, the education and degree completion courses are taken weekday evenings and summer
while some, if not all, of the content area courses are taken during the weekday and/or off-campus.
The weekday evening schedule is comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. In
general, classes are held every other week, face to face with online instruction in the intervening week. The weekday
schedule is also comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. Classes offered during the
weekday meet one to three times per week. Classes offered jointly between weekday and weekend meet on a weekly
basis in the evening. The official academic calendars can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar.
Curriculum—Teaching Licenses
K-6 Elementary Education
This program is designed to prepare teachers for grades K-6. Optional endorsements in middle school specialty areas of
math, science, social studies, and communication arts can be pursued along with or separately from the K-6 license. The
teaching license and some endorsements are offered at both undergraduate and graduate levels through a mix of
undergraduate courses and combined graduate and undergraduate courses. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500
and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and have been admitted to the MAE program.
All of the following courses must be taken for K-6 elementary licensure. Up to seven courses may be taken at the
graduate (500) level and applied toward the MAE degree.

*Field experience hours are required in these courses. Students spend 20 or more hours per term in field experiences.
These experiences occur in K-6 classrooms during the weekday. If more than one course with field experience is taken in
a given term, field experience requirements expand accordingly (i.e., two courses with 20 hours of field experience each
require a total of 40 hours).
Undergraduate Liberal Arts Requirements
The number of supporting content area courses required for licensure depends upon the courses completed as part of
the bachelor’s degree and/or other coursework. Requirements are determined by Minnesota licensure standards for
specific college-level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary
licensure. Specific requirements are on file in the Education Department.
Minnesota licensure standards allow for optional subject area endorsements in communication arts/literature, social
studies, math, and science. Subject matter courses for these endorsements will be available through a combination of
weekday, evening and off-campus courses. Specific requirements for these endorsements are on file in the Education
Department.
Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or
better was achieved. The Education Department and the content area departments determine the courses that are
accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. Courses that are
older than five years are judged on a case-by-case basis. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is
not automatically accepted into the MAE degree. The program has limits on the amount and type of courses that are
accepted. Grades of B or better are required for transfer consideration. See the MAE program director for approval of
graduate coursework accepted in transfer.
Preprimary Endorsement for Elementary Licensure (Suspended for 2015-16)
This endorsement can be added to a K-6 elementary license. Required courses include the following:
PSY 250 - Child Development (PSY 105 is a prerequisite for this course)
SOC 231 - Family Systems: Cross Cultural Perspectives
or SPE 490/540 - Parent and Professional Planning (Graduate students take SPE 540.)
ECE 345/545 - Foundations of Preprimary Education
ECE 346/546 - Learning Environments for Preprimary-Aged Children
ECE 347/547 - Immersion and Teaching Competence
ECE 488, 489 - Student Teaching: Preprimary
K-12 and 5-12 Secondary Education
K-12 and 5-12 licenses in several content areas are offered through a combination of graduate and undergraduate
coursework. K-12 licenses prepare teachers to teach a content area across elementary, middle school, and high school.
Licenses for grades 5- 12 prepare teachers to teach at the middle and high school levels. Graduate-level licensure
coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet MAE admissions
criteria.
Subject matter courses in the following majors are offered on weekday evenings and summer: English, communications
(for communication arts), art and selected social science courses. Students seeking 5–12 licensure in social studies must
34
complete a broad-based core of courses in the social studies in addition to a social science major. Education courses for
these licenses are also taken during weekday evenings and summer.
The following content area majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry,
physics, health, physical education, music, and mathematics. Students seeking licensure in any of these areas typically
will need to take additional content courses in the weekday schedule and off-campus. Students can obtain a 9-12 license
in physics, chemistry, or biology and have the option of adding the 5–8 general science to the 9-12 license. Students also
can obtain the 5–8 general science license without the 9–12 license. Education courses for these licenses are taken
during weekday evenings.
Licensure Requirements
The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for
licensure; four to seven of them also may be taken at the graduate level and applied toward the master’s degree in
education.

*Field experience hours are required in these courses. A minimum of 100 hours in classrooms and education-related
settings is required prior to student teaching. Students spend approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences.
Undergraduate Content Area Requirements
The equivalent of a major in the licensure content area is required for K-12 and 5-12 licenses. Students who have
majored in a field in which we offer licensure must have their previous coursework evaluated by the major department
at Augsburg. Two or more content area courses tied to Minnesota licensure standards are generally required, even with
a completed academic major.
Previous coursework is evaluated by the content area department and accepted if it meets Minnesota licensure
standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. Coursework older than five years is judged on a case-by-case basis.
Specific course requirements for each content area are on file in the Education Department.
Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree program.
See the MAE program director for approval to use graduate level transfer courses in the degree program.
Special Education
Augsburg College offers licensure in K–12 Special Education: Academic Behavioral Strategist (ABS). This program
qualifies students to teach in special education programs and positions working with students with mild to moderate
disabilities in the areas of emotional/behavioral disabilities, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disabilities,
developmental and cognitive disabilities and other health disabilities. This program is built on an inclusive education
model. Under this model, students learn how to work closely with both special and general educators to facilitate
inclusion of special education students into the regular education classroom. Five years after being licensed, teachers
must extend their license in one of the above categories through additional coursework.
35
Also available is the Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort (temporarily suspended for 2015)—this graduate
licensure program in Special Education: EBD/LD is designed and taught from an American Indian perspective. It is offered
in collaboration with the University of Minnesota-Duluth as a hybrid (partly face-to-face and partly online) cohort
program. The licensure courses can be applied towards the MAE degree. See the Education Department and for more
information. The ABS licensure program is offered through weeknight and summer schedules. The Naadamaadiwin
Tribal Special Education Cohort program is offered primarily online with weekend sessions at the beginning and end of
each semester.

K-12 English as a Second Language (ESL) License
The K-12 English as a Second Language license is available as an initial license as well as an endorsement to an existing
license. This license qualifies teachers to work with K-12 students for whom English is a second language across a range
of subject areas. The K-12 ESL licensure program is comprised of both undergraduate and graduate courses; up to seven
of the graduate courses can apply to the completion of the MAE degree. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and
above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and have been admitted to the MAE program. A
pre-requisite to program admissions is two years of high school level or one year of college level language instruction.
The K-12 ESL program is offered in a hybrid format which means that courses are a mix of face to face and online
instruction. Classes are offered during the academic year in the evening semester framework and during summer
session to make them accessible to working adults. This license is also offered as an undergraduate major to Augsburg
Undergraduate (AU) students seeking a baccalaureate degree.
The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for
licensure, and up to seven also may be taken at the graduate level and applied toward the master’s degree in education.

Student Teaching
Students are required to complete student teaching for initial and additional licenses (unless otherwise indicated). In the
MAE program, student teaching is generally completed before finishing the degree. Students can apply for licensure at
this point and finish the degree later. Student teaching for elementary, secondary, and K-12 initial licenses lasts 12-14
weeks, depending on licensure scope. During that time, students work full-time as student teachers and are supervised
by an Augsburg faculty member. Students register for eight to twelve semester credits of student teaching and a two
semester credit edTPA and student teaching seminar. They meet at Augsburg College for student teaching seminars
several times during the term. Most student teaching placements are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area and
Rochester. However, students do have the opportunity to student teach abroad, where students complete a 10-week
student teaching experience in the metro area and then complete another student teaching experience abroad.
Opportunities to teach abroad are available around the world, and it is a wonderful way to build a global perspective in
education. Additional information is available through the Education Department.
Curriculum—Graduate Degree Completion Options
Students take graduate coursework as part of the licensure program. This coursework forms the Master of Arts in
Education licensure core, with between four to seven Augsburg graduate-level licensure courses fulfilling master’s
requirements. Students bringing fewer than seven graduate-level licensure courses or 21 semester credits into the
degree program must complete additional Master of Arts in Leadership (ML) or education graduate courses to reach the
required 30-33 semester credits for the MAE degree.
To finish out the master’s degree, students will need to complete one of the following options.
Action Research Degree Completion Option (Minimum 30 credits)
This degree completion option requires a minimum of three classes totaling at least nine semester credits: a Master of
Arts in Leadership (ML) elective, EDC 592 Action Research 1, and EDC 593 Action Research 2. The action research courses
guide the student through completion of a long-term action research project, typically conducted in the student’s
classroom and focused on a question or concern identified by the student. The research is presented at an action
research symposium and a formal written report of the research is placed in Lindell Library. The coursework for action
research is designed to be completed in two semesters; the project itself is done once the research is presented at an
action research symposium and the paper is accepted for placement in Lindell Library. Additional terms beyond those in
which the courses are completed are available through continuing registration for up to 12 semesters at no further
charge.
Leadership Application Project (LAP) Degree Completion Option (Minimum 30 credits)
This degree completion option requires a minimum of three classes totaling at least nine semester credits: an ML
elective, EDC 514 – Research Methods - Education focus or ML 514 - Evaluating Empirical Research and EDC 585 Leadership Application Project. Students electing this degree completion option do so because they are interested in
developing an educational product that meets an identified need.
The goal for those developing an educational product is to identify an issue or problem related to their practice, and
after researching available literature, develop a solution to the problem or issue. The solution might be developed in
the form of a curriculum, a workshop, a set of informational materials, a website, an article for publication or other
appropriate educational product.
This option is completed with a final oral presentation and placement of the final paper in the Lindell Library.
Additional terms beyond those in which the courses are completed are available through continuing registration for
up to 12 semesters at no further charge.
Performance Assessment/Teacher Leadership Degree Completion Option (Minimum 33 credits)
This degree completion option focuses on the theme of the MAE degree program - teacher leadership - and requires a
minimum of the following four classes:
One ML leadership-focused course
38
EDC 570 - Teacher Leadership
EDC 514 - Research Methods (ML 514 can be substituted if necessary)
EDC 594 - Performance Assessment Project
Students electing this degree completion option do so because they are especially interested in considering leadership
within the context of education and themselves as potential change agents. EDC 594 must be taken as the last course in
this sequence. Students finish their degree through this option with the successful completion of these four classes.
Alternate Settings—MAE in Rochester
In step with Augsburg College’s excellent reputation in the field of education, the Master of Arts in Education program is
also offered in Rochester, MN. Licenses are available in elementary education and special education: ABS. Classes
primarily meet weekday evenings and summer at Bethel Lutheran Church in Rochester.
Elementary education
The K-6 elementary education license allows students to teach in grade K-6. Augsburg College offers this license at the
graduate level to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet admissions requirements. Courses for this
license are available in Rochester.
Special education
The K-12 Academic Behavior Specialist (ABS) program is designed for students currently working with or planning to
work with students with mild to moderate special needs. The program leads to Minnesota teaching licensure in special
education and the ability to work with students whose special needs are categorized as EBD, LD, DCD, ASD, and/or OHI.
All courses for these licenses are available in Rochester.
The Performance Assessment degree completion option is offered in Rochester as needed, typically every other year.
MAL Elective Courses

Admission to MAE
Admission Requirements
Students admitted into the MAE licensure and degree programs must have:
Bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited four-year institution
Cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher (required for full admission for the graduate licensure option and
degree program). Students with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5-2.99 may be admitted conditionally into the
graduate licensure program. To be admitted to the MAE degree completion program, all students must have a 3.0 or
better Augsburg GPA.
39
Application Checklist
The following items must be sent to the Augsburg Office of Admissions:
Completed application form - www.augsburg.edu/mae
$35 non-refundable application fee
Personal summary outlining your tentative educational objectives and reasons for wanting to attend Augsburg
Official academic transcripts from all previously attended post-secondary institutions (including colleges,
universities, vocational/technical schools, and PSEO institutions) sent directly to the Admissions Office.
Admission as an International Student
International applicants must submit the required application materials listed above. Refer to the additional
requirements outlined in Admission of International Students.
Transfer Policy
Acceptance of previous education coursework completed at institutions other than Augsburg College is limited. Most
courses that have not been completed in the last seven years are considered to be too old to transfer and need to be
completed as part of one’s program at Augsburg. EDC 310/533 - Learning and Development, EDC 220 - Education
Technology, and ESE 3XX - K-12/5-12 Special Methods in Content Area are courses which may have a shorter acceptance
time frame. Additional information on the transfer policy is available through the Education Department.
Credit Evaluation: An official transfer credit evaluation of previous academic work will be completed as part of the
admissions process. Education coursework is evaluated by the Education Department. For secondary licenses, content
area coursework is evaluated by the content area department. This process is initiated as part of the admissions process.
Generally, the requirement for secondary licensure is that two or more classes in the content area must be taken at
Augsburg, even with an undergraduate major in the field. In all cases, previous undergraduate courses must have
received a grade of C or better to be eligible for transfer. Previous graduate coursework must have received a grade of B
or better to be considered.
Acceptance into the MAE Program
Application files are reviewed by the MAE director. Applicants are notified of the admission decision by the Office of
Admissions, usually within one to two weeks after the application file is complete. Applicants whose cumulative
undergraduate GPA is below 2.5 will not be admitted into the MAE program; however, these applicants can be
reconsidered when additional undergraduate coursework raises the cumulative undergraduate GPA to 2.5 or above. An
exception to this occurs when the applicant has completed an advanced degree with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better.
Under these circumstances, the applicant can be considered for full admission into the MAE degree and licensure
programs.
Advising and Registration
Admitted students are able to participate in academic advising and the registration process. Typically, first-term
registration occurs with intake advising. After the first term, students generally are able to register online through
Records and Registration. All students are assigned an Education Department advisor early in the first semester of
courses.
Academic Policies
Application to the Education Department
Once accepted to the College and the MAE program, students may take designated courses in education and content
areas. Prior to beginning the methods courses within a program, students must be admitted to the Education
Department. This admissions process is outlined in the EDC 200/522 - Orientation to Education and in admissions
handbooks, which are available through the Education Department.
40
Academic Achievement
All MAE students are expected to achieve and maintain 3.0 or better GPA in their Augsburg course work. Students
whose cumulative GPA falls between 2.5 and 2.99 at the end of their licensure program are able to complete the license
but are not eligible for the degree. Students with cumulative GPA’s below 2.5 may not student teach and are subject to
academic probation and possible dismissal.
In all cases, a cumulative GPA on the Augsburg graduate transcript must be at 3.0 or better to be admitted to the degree
completion component of the MAE degree. Students who are ready to begin the degree completion component must
file an Intent to Complete form (available through the MAE coordinator) at which point a transcript review is completed
to confirm the 3.0 or better GPA and to determine the completed courses that apply to the degree and the courses that
remain.
Minimum Grade Policy
Students who fail to maintain a cumulative 2.5 GPA in a given term are notified that they must raise their GPA to the
required level. Students who receive below a 2.0 in any undergraduate course or 2.5 in any graduate course required for
licensure are expected to repeat the course as soon as possible and raise the grade to the appropriate level.
Dismissal from Licensure and Degree Program
Students may be dismissed from the licensure program prior to and during student teaching for failure to maintain
appropriate academic and teaching-based performance standards, for gross violation of College policy, and/or for
conduct in violation of professional ethics. Dismissal occurs within the context of established department procedures
described in the Education Department Handbook available through the Education Department. Students have the right
to appeal dismissal from the licensure program on the grounds of procedural error, using the College’s program
dismissal appeals process. Information about the program dismissal appeals process is available in the Augsburg Student
Guide. Students who fail to complete the license may have the option to finish the degree.
Fieldwork Requirements
Fieldwork experiences are tied to several licensure courses. In most cases, these experiences are conducted within a
service-learning framework, providing service to the school and classroom while also providing students’ opportunities
for focused reflection linked back to course objectives. In general, students should plan for a minimum of 20 hours field
experience per term. When multiple courses with field experience are taken in the same term, the requirements expand
accordingly. Students in field experiences are evaluated by their host K-12 teachers on the basis of criteria drawn from
the Minnesota Standards of Effective Practice. Evaluations are kept in the students’ Education Department files and
used in decisions regarding progress through the program and student teaching. A full description of field experience
requirements is available in the Education Department Handbook.
Readmission and Withdrawal
Students in good standing who fail to register for courses for two terms (not including summer) are withdrawn from the
MAE program. To be readmitted to the College and the MAE program, students file a Readmission form through the
Registrar’s Office.
Program Costs
In addition to tuition, students in this program can expect to pay a data maintenance fee upon admission to the
department, as well as liability insurance at the student rate during student teaching and the cost of a background check
for licensure and, possibly, field experience. In addition, optional international travel courses have associated costs
above and beyond the charge for tuition.

Master of Arts in Leadership
MAL Mission
The purpose of the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program is to develop leaders for organizations, the community,
and society. Organizations seek leaders who possess:
An ethically and morally responsible vision
An understanding of how change occurs and how it can be managed
A sensitivity to the complex problems of organizations and an ability to find solutions consistent with their mission
Cultural competence and sensitivity to the needs of a diverse population
The ability to inspire and motivate people to work toward a common goal
The Augsburg leadership development model provides a framework through which the program recruits its students and
develops their skills.
Program Overview
The study of leadership is central to Augsburg College. The College mission statement says, “Augsburg College educates
students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.” The Master of Arts in
Leadership is quintessentially Augsburg. The integrated liberal arts perspective on leadership education is what we think
of as the “Augsburg difference.”
The Master of Arts in Leadership is the core program of Augsburg’s Center for Leadership Studies (CLS). Developed and
launched in 1987, it is Augsburg’s oldest graduate degree and one of the oldest leadership graduate degrees in the
United States. The program responds to the leadership development needs of both for-profit and not-for-profit
organizations. MAL has a deep theoretical base in leadership studies, yet also offers its students practical approaches to
leadership that can be applied in the workplace and society.
Leadership Development Model
The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that:
Inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources
Promotes productivity within and beyond the organization
Works toward progress for the individual and the organization
To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision,
the ability to persuade, and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are abilities and awareness, outlined
in the Leadership Development Model, which serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg’s model of
leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the individual.
Learning Goals and Outcomes
The MAL program is designed to support students in developing the knowledge and skills to:
Explore the nature and practice of leadership in a wide variety of dynamic organizational and community settings
Develop a personal understanding and philosophy of leadership
Aspire to be responsible leaders who are informed citizens, critical thinkers, and thoughtful stewards
Enhance knowledge of self and the capacity to be reflective learners
Analyze and navigate increasingly complex changing environments
Formulate and articulate a shared vision in order to inspire others to achieve desired goals
MAL Courses
Each course encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to
adult learners. Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity.
These techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and
43
understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the
world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative abilities.
Plan of Study
Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule
Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL program is based on the assumption that the
students who enroll are career-oriented, self-disciplined, and well-motivated individuals seeking a balance of classroom
experience, group interaction, and individual study. Courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for
discussion and dialogue.
The program features classes taught by faculty from multiple disciplines and offers two formats to allow students to
choose the option that works best for them. Both formats offer a combination of classroom and online learning styles in
different proportions. The classic classroom format emphasizes face-to-face instruction augmented by online work. The
integrated hybrid format combines online and intensive learning experiences with occasional sessions in a traditional
classroom setting.
Two Convenient Formats: Classic Classroom and Integrated Hybrid Cohort
Overview of Classic Classroom Format
For nearly 30 years, our classic classroom format has featured a flexible choice model that allows students to select
courses that focus on individual goals, interests, and learning style. Students can also determine the pace at which they
move through the program. This format offers numerous electives and allows for individualized studies. Some online
work is incorporated into this format.
Schedule
During fall and spring semesters, classes usually meet every other Saturday morning or afternoon for four hours.
Additional instruction time is provided online. Seven Saturday sessions are included in one semester. Some select classes
meet on Monday evenings. Students can take a combination of Saturday and Monday courses.
A sample class schedule in the classic classroom format:
Period I
Saturday
8:00 am to 12:00 pm
Period II
Saturday
1:00 pm to 5:00 pm
Period III
Weeknights
6:00 pm to 9:45 pm
Note: Each class taken commits a student to Period I, Period II, or Period III, an average of two meetings a month. A few
courses are taught on an immersion model, which features fewer but longer sessions.
The MAL program also offers summer semester courses in seven-week, fourteen-week, or special immersion formats.
Most summer semester courses meet on weeknights from 6:00 pm to 9:45 pm rather than on Saturdays.
Curriculum
Four core courses:
ML 505 - Foundations of Leadership
ML 514 - Evaluating Empirical Research
ML 580 - Colloquium on Contemporary Theories of Leadership
ML 585 - Integrating the Theory and Practice of Responsible Leadership (Capstone Course)
Seven electives, selected from more than 20 offerings*
*Students may petition the program to do a thesis in place of two of the elective courses. Students who do the thesis
are required to develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of leadership or of a leadership-related topic
and register for ML 592 Thesis Consultation I and ML 593 Thesis Consultation II. Students electing to write a thesis are
still required to take ML 585 to complete the program.
44
Elective courses for the Classic Classroom format
The MAL program requires that seven elective courses be selected from the following course list. All courses are 3

MBA/MAL Dual Degree
The dual degree program takes advantage of the intellectual benefits of studying business administration and leadership
in a coordinated program. It leverages Augsburg’s long tradition of graduate leadership training via the MA in Leadership
with the robust demand for business education through our MBA program. The dual degree provides students with the
leadership skills needed to run a business and, at the same time, helps them develop the comprehensive outlook they
need to thrive in today’s interconnected world.
A minimum of 18 Augsburg courses completes the MBA/MA in Leadership dual degree, including at least 7 MBA
courses and 7 MA in Leadership courses.
The following dual degree program requirements must be met.
7 courses are required from MBA courses:
MBA 510 – Applied Managerial Economics
MBA 520 – Accounting for Business Managers
MBA 530 – Managerial Finance
MBA 540 – Business and Professional Ethics
MBA 550 – Marketing Management
MBA 570 – Quantitative Decision Making for Managers
MBA 580 – Management Consulting Project
4 core courses are required from MA in Leadership courses with 3 MAL elective courses:
ML 505 – Foundations of Leadership
ML 514 – Evaluating Empirical Research
ML 580 – Colloquium on Contemporary Theories of Leadership
ML 585 -- Integrating the Theory and Practice of Responsible Leadership

One Additional Elective Course
Elective course may be taken in either MBA or MA in Leadership Program
Admission to the Dual Degree Program
Admission for the dual degree program is handled on a “rolling” basis and requires applicants to hold a bachelor’s
degree from a regionally accredited four-year college or university. Official transcripts from all post-secondary
institutions are required as well as a current résumé and two recommendations. An interview with the program director
is also part of the admissions process.
Although we do accept the GMAT and GRE, we also offer candidates an alternative math and writing profile assessment
entitled the Individual Learning Profile (ILP) which provides a picture of candidate’s math and writing (verbal)
competency detailing strengths and areas of improvement. The profile is not an admissions screening instrument and
will be used as a platform to develop a skills improvement plan for students should they need it.
Earning the dual degree during or after the MBA or MA in Leadership program
Students who are currently enrolled in the MBA or MA in Leadership program or alumni who wish to return to
Augsburg may add the dual degree to their existing degree by completing most of the same requirements listed on the
front of this page. Students may use previously completed application pieces and coursework to help meet these
requirements.
Returning students may complete an abbreviated application form after consultation with the MBA or ML program
director. Upon entering the MBA program, a quantitative online profile assessment must also be taken. This is used as a
platform to enhance skills, if needed.
Students with an MA in Leadership who wish to add the dual degree will take a minimum of 7 required MBA courses.
Students will complete one course in each of the 3 focus areas if they did not complete these courses during their MAL
program. Each student’s program will be slightly different based on their prior course selections.
Students with an MBA will complete 4 required and 3 elective MA in Leadership courses. Students will need to complete
one course in each of the 3 focus areas if they did not complete these courses during their MBA program. Each student’s
program will be slightly different based on their prior course selections.
Students in both programs will meet individually with the program directors to determine whether their completed final
project meets the criteria aligned with the dual degree final project. Directors may ask that the project be modified or
added to or ask the student to complete another project. These decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis.
Certificate in Leadership Studies
The certificate program is an attractive option for people who want to develop their leadership skills without
undertaking a full degree program. A certificate is awarded after completion of three Augsburg MAL courses in
leadership. Students pursuing this option take ML 505 - Foundations of Leadership and two additional electives.
Students should meet with the program director to develop a plan for selecting the appropriate leadership elective
courses.
The normal application process is used for students who wish to pursue the certificate. Certificate programs are not
eligible for federal student aid.

Master of Arts in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice
Welcome to graduate nursing education at Augsburg College. Our classes are made up of students representing a
dynamic mix of cultures, spiritual traditions, and life-ways. It is exciting for us to offer experienced nurses transforming
educational opportunities and engaging transcultural encounters that expand career choices and advance nursing
practice.
The increasing diversity of our population today challenges all of us to respond to individual health care needs with
creativity and competence in a variety of emerging care settings. The Master of Arts in Nursing program is designed to
prepare nurses for those evolving contexts of care. Students can choose between two tracks of study: Transcultural
Nursing and Transformational Nursing Leadership. Each track of study emphasizes leadership skills, inter-professional
collaboration and ways to serve persons in a variety of care settings.
The post-master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program builds on the MAN and prepares nurses for innovative
health leadership and advanced nursing practice at local and system-wide levels. Drawing on a transcultural nursing
(TCN) foundation, the DNP-TCN curriculum embraces integrative health care and holistic nursing practice to maximize
health for individuals and communities. Emphasis is on eliminating health inequities through peaceful, just, and
collaborative actions that uphold and improve human potential. Students design their own scholarly paths defined by
their unique gifts, interests, and practice goals. Throughout the DNP-TCN program, there are a range of opportunities for
collaboration across cultures, socio-economic strata and care systems.
The post-BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) to DNP/Family Nurse Practitioner (DNP/FNP) track of study prepares
nurses for advanced nursing leadership and integrative primary care of families across cultures and care settings. Using
transcultural nursing as a foundation, the DNP/FNP curriculum embraces integrative healthcare and holistic nursing
practice. The curriculum emphasizes knowledge, skills and values that foster one’s ability to lead change, while
addressing health needs and concerns of families and communities. Nursing scholarship and advanced autonomous
practice frame the critical exploration of knowledge in transcultural nursing, integrative healthcare practices,
transformational leadership, and health assessment.
Classes in both the DNP and MAN programs are offered on the Augsburg campus and at Bethel Lutheran Church in
Rochester, MN, where our branch campus is located. Some of the DNP-FNP classes are held at Hermitage Farm Center
For Healing, Rochester, MN. Class formats vary: face-to-face, video conferencing or immersions with on-line
components. However, students and faculty are committed to driving from one site to the other at least once during
each semester to be physically present and together. Building relationships is important to us. Program faculty and staff
are available at both sites and eager to assist students.

Master of Arts in Nursing
Mission
Within the context of liberal arts education and guided by the values of the Lutheran Church, the Master of Arts in
Nursing program prepares nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural nursing practice across care settings
with particular emphasis on promoting health equity locally and globally.
Students select from two tracks of study—Transformational Nursing Leadership or Transcultural Nursing. Both tracks
prepare nurse leaders to assume a wide variety of roles and responsibilities throughout the healthcare system and in
emerging care settings in communities.
Curriculum
The MAN curriculum is organized into 33 semester credits –15 semester credits in a Nursing Core, in which all students
enroll, and 18 semester credits in one of the two Tracks of Study. Practica are taken concurrently with most courses and
are integrated throughout the program. Each semester credit of practicum is equal to 45 clock hours of practice.
Students select a track of study when applying to the program, however, this is not essential until after one’s first
semester. Students may study full-time (6-8 semester credits per term) or part-time (4 semester credits per term). Time
to degree completion takes an average 22 months when studying full-time, and 32 months when studying part-time.
Nursing Core Courses (15 semester credits)
The core nursing courses integrate a strong foundation of social justice incorporating multiple ways of knowing with
curricular emphasis on nursing science, art, and theory to guide practice.

NUR 541 - Politics of Health (3 semester credits)
NUR 541P - Practicum: Politics of Health Care (1 semester credit)
NUR 505 - Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Nursing Practice (3 semester credits)
NUR 505P - Practicum: Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Practice Nursing (1 semester credit)
NUR 520 - Research Methods in Nursing (3 semester credits)
Transformational Nursing Leadership Track (18 semester credits)
The Transformational Nursing Leadership track is designed to develop nurse leaders’ ability to critically analyze,
articulate, and develop effective strategies to cope with high level health care disparities. Curricular emphasis is on interprofessional collaboration across care settings. Participation in nursing leadership practica in traditional and emerging
care settings adds depth and meaning to classroom dialogue. Practica also provide opportunities for students to apply
knowledge and gain experience partnering with diverse care providers, populations, and communities to address health
inequities in creative and relevant ways. Transformational Nursing Leadership track courses include:
NUR 501 - Nursing Leadership in Complex Adaptive Systems (3 semester credits)
NUR 501P - Practicum: Nursing Leadership in Complex Adaptive Systems (1 semester credit)
NUR 521 - Transformational Nursing Leadership (3 semester credits)
NUR 521P - Practicum: Transformational Nursing Leadership (1 semester credit)
NUR 523 - Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (3 semester credits)
NUR 523P - Practicum: Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (2 semester credits)
NUR 525 - Graduate Field Project (3 semester credits)
NUR 525P - Practicum: Graduate Field Project (2 semester credits)
Students graduating from the Transformational Leadership Track of the master’s program are eligible to apply to the
American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for certification as a Nurse Executive, Advanced and to the Transcultural
Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing.
52
Graduate Field Project in Transformational Nursing Leadership
Students will fulfill their Master of Arts in Nursing through a final practice-focused project, which serves as the capstone
of the master’s program. The last two classes in the curriculum–NUR 523 and NUR 525—emphasize the development
and articulation of a final field project focused on transformational leadership. Students present their final projects in
NUR 525.
Transcultural Nursing Across Care Settings Track (18 semester credits)
The Transcultural Nursing track in the Master of Arts in Nursing program is designed to prepare nurses for advanced
practice across care settings in culturally diverse communities. The curriculum is grounded in nursing science, theoryguided practice, and transcultural principles. Emphasis is on reaching out to persons and populations that are
underserved by traditional care systems and who exist outside of the social mainstream. As such, the track provides rich
alternative learning opportunities for graduate students locally and internationally. Transcultural Nursing Across Care
Settings track courses include:
NUR 532 - Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (3 semester credits)
NUR 532P – Practicum: Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (1 semester credits)
NUR 530 - The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Healing (3 semester credits)
NUR 530P – Practicum: The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Healing (1 semester credits)
NUR 523 - Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (3 semester credits)
NUR 523P – Practicum: Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (2 semester credits)
NUR 525 - Graduate Field Project (3 semester credits)
NUR 525P - Graduate Field Project (2 semester credits)
Students graduating from the Transcultural Nursing track of the master’s program are eligible to apply to the
Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing and
certification in Holistic Nursing through the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation (AHNCC)
(www.ahncc.org).
Graduate Field Project in Transcultural Nursing
Students will fulfill their Master of Arts in Nursing through a final practice-focused project, which serves as the capstone
of the master’s program. The last two classes in the curriculum—NUR 523 and NUR 525—emphasize the development
and articulation of a final field project focused on transcultural nursing. Students present their final projects in NUR 525.
Practica
Practice experience is emphasized in both tracks in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. Students earn 9 semester
credits of practicum work that is equal to 405 clock hours of practice—45 clock hours per semester credit hour. Some
practica are semi-structured, experiential, and led by faculty and cultural guides familiar with the communities in which
the practica occur. Other practica options are student directed. Students are encouraged to immerse themselves in
practice settings that serve persons underserved or excluded from mainstream health care, as emphasis in the
transcultural track is on cultural diversity and health inequities across healthcare settings. Practica focusing on
experiential learning with a transformational nurse leader provides students with the opportunity to gain a greater
understanding of organizational dynamics and change through a complexity science paradigm.
Augsburg Central Health Commons & the Inner City
A unique opportunity for students to explore advanced nursing roles and new models and forms of practice is provided
by the Augsburg Central Health Commons, and the Health Commons in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. Both Health
Commons are nursing-led drop-in centers dedicated to serving those in need and focused on healthy individuals and
communities. People from diverse backgrounds, who have health experiences grounded in wide ranging cultural
contexts frequent the Health Commons for health support and reassurance. Service and care are based on respect,
relationship, and collaboration that connects health and hope for all participants. Health Commons partners include
Central Lutheran Church in downtown Minneapolis, Fairview Health Services, and the East Africa Health Project.
53
Study Abroad and Away
The Department of Nursing works closely with cultural guides and nurse mentors in various contexts of care in emerging
care settings at home and abroad. The Center for Global Education is a partner with the Department of Nursing in
developing and facilitating study abroad opportunities in Guatemala, Mexico, Namibia, Pine Ridge, SD, and England..
Additional collaborative partners include the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS) in Namibia. A detailed
listing of practica and immersion experiences abroad and away can be found at the nursing website
(www.augsburg.edu/nursing).

Program Goals
Graduates of the Doctor of Nursing Practice program are prepared to:
Negotiate the complexity of multicultural care settings and care systems to eliminate health inequities among
populations and communities
Challenge conventional knowledge about illness through an ecological approach to social determinants of health
Lead change through building coalitions with marginalized people that are based on mutuality and common cause
Program Structure
The program is structured in a modified cohort model. One cohort a year will be admitted to begin in the fall term.
Students can choose to take full or part-time study. Students taking full-time study take two didactic offerings, two
seminars, and a practicum each semester. Students in full-time study can complete the post-master’s DNP-TCN
curriculum in 20 months, including completion of the capstone project. Students selecting part-time study take one
didactic offering, one seminar and a practicum each semester. As a part-time student, completion of the program is
expected to take 32 months, including completion of the capstone project.
The DNP curriculum is organized into 33 semester credits comprised of didactic classes, experiential practica, and
seminars, with a capstone project completing the degree. As a practice doctorate, the emphasis is on building leadership
and practice skills in knowledge application among diverse population groups. The goal is to improve health and
decrease health inequities that lead to unnecessary morbidity and mortality in communities.
Students graduating from the DNP-TCN track are eligible to apply to the Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission
(TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing and certification in Holistic Nursing through the American
Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation (AHNCC) (www.ahncc.org).
Didactic
A total of six didactic courses (18 semester credits) constitute the DNP program. One course equals three semester
credits. The DNP courses (NUR 800 level), are taught in a variety of immersion models: one format is two days a month eight hours of class time for the first day and four hours the subsequent morning, followed by an afternoon seminar.
Other courses are offered in an immersion format of 3-4 days of class per semester with 3 half-day seminars.
Class attendance is expected and should be considered a key responsibility, not only to one’s self, but to one’s
classmates and the course instructor. Classes are held on Augsburg’s campus in Minneapolis and in Rochester, MN, at
Bethel Lutheran Church (810 3rd Ave SE) the location of Augsburg’s branch campus. Video conferencing is used for some
of the classes and for distant students. However, students must be prepared to drive to Rochester and/or Minneapolis
for class at least once per semester. If weather is inclement, video conferencing is used.
57
Practica
Practica are organized to give flexibility and individual choice to students to support their increasing independence and
depth of practice experience at the doctoral level. Students select practicum experiences that are either structured
immersions in a variety of cultural contexts led by nursing faculty or are student initiated and individually directed
experiences mentored by nursing faculty.
In a 15-week semester, practicum hours are computed as follows:
1 semester credit hour =
2 semester credit hours =
3 semester credit hours =
45 clock hours of practicum time per semester
90 clock hours of practicum time per semester
135 clock hours of practicum time per semester
To earn the DNP, students must complete a total of 1,000 practicum hours in their Master’s and DNP programs.
Students will be allowed to transfer up to 600 practicum hours from their master’s in nursing into the Augsburg DNP. As
such, all students will register for at least nine semester credits of practica in the post-master’s DNP-TCN.
Seminars
Seminars focus on integration of conceptual learning with field practice, developing the student’s particular practice
interests. Students are required to participate in a doctoral seminar every semester —fall and spring—until completion
of the DNP degree. Cohorts of students who enter the DNP program together usually progress as a group in the
seminars in which they enroll each term, depending on whether they are studying full-time or part-time. The final
seminar (NUR 841) culminates in the capstone project presentation and completion of the requirements for the DNP
degree.
Final DNP Capstone Project
Final DNP capstone projects must make a significant impact on nursing practice and health outcomes of populations and
communities, demonstrate an evidence-based contribution to existing nursing knowledge, and be suitable for
presentation or publication in a peer-reviewed venue. Through this scholarly project students demonstrate leadership in
synthesizing and applying scientific knowledge to practice challenges in local and/or system wide contexts of care.
Students should begin working on their DNP capstone projects in the early stages of the DNP program and continue
throughout the program. The student’s scholarly project is planned in collaboration with a major faculty advisor.

Doctor of Nursing Practice – Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) Track
Mission
Within the framework of liberal arts education and guided by the values of the Lutheran Church, the post-BSN (Bachelor
of Science in Nursing) to DNP/FNP track of study prepares nurses for advanced nursing leadership and integrative
primary care of families across cultures and care settings. Emphasis is on eliminating health inequities through peaceful,
just, and collaborative actions that uphold and improve human potential.
The curriculum emphasizes knowledge, skills and values that foster one’s ability to lead change, while addressing health
needs and concerns of families and communities. Nursing scholarship and advanced autonomous practice as a primary
care Nurse Practitioner, frames the critical exploration of knowledge in transcultural nursing, integrative healthcare
practices, transformational leadership, and health assessment.
Program Goals
Graduates of the Doctor of Nursing Practice/Family Nurse Practitioner program are prepared to:
Negotiate the complexity of multicultural care settings and care systems to eliminate health inequities among
populations and communities.
Challenge conventional knowledge about illness through an ecological approach to social determinants of health.
Lead change through building coalitions with marginalized people that are based on mutuality and common cause.
Provide primary care to persons, families and communities with particular consideration for those who are
underserved and/or marginalized by dominant societal structures.
Integrate scientific evidence based guidelines into clinical practice.
Program Structure
The program is structured to admit students beginning each fall semester. Students may take courses on a part-time or
full-time basis during the completion of their 500 level courses and the pre-FNP 800 level courses. Full-time study is
required during the didactic and clinical courses in the FNP course sequence during the last two years of the program.
Length of program: The Post-BSN to DNP/FNP track of study leads to eligibility for certification as a Family Nurse
Practitioner (FNP) through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and requires a minimum of 84 semester
credit hours, including 57 didactic credit hours and 23 clinical credit hours.
Didactic
A total of 19 didactic courses (57 semester credits) constitute the DNP/FNP program. Didactic classes, structured
practica, and clinical experiences are taught in a variety of flexible schedules that are responsive to student needs. 500
level courses consist of six classes a semester - five hours of class time, in addition to taking a one credit practicum
course associated with the didactic course. The DNP courses (NUR 800 level), are taught in a variety of immersion
models: one format is two days a month - eight hours of class time for the first day and four hours the subsequent
morning, followed by an afternoon seminar. Other courses are offered in an immersion format of 3-4 days of class per
semester with 3 half-day seminars. The FNP courses (final two years of study) are offered on Mondays approximately
five times a semester, class time hours will vary from 8 to 12 hours. Web-based assignments are integrated into all
classes through Moodle.
Community practicum experiences may be scheduled during the class meeting days as well. Additionally, some courses
may be taught in an immersion format, where students and faculty are “immersed” in a unique socio-cultural context
and course content and a set number of practicum hours are condensed into seven to fourteen days.
Class attendance is expected and should be considered a key responsibility, not only to one’s self, but to one’s
classmates and the course instructor. Classes are held on Augsburg’s campus in Minneapolis and in Rochester, MN, at
Bethel Lutheran Church (810 3rd Ave SE) the location of Augsburg’s branch campus or at Hermitage Farm Center for
Healing, 6415 West River Road NW, Rochester, MN. Video conferencing is used for some of the classes. However,
students must be prepared to drive to Rochester and/or Minneapolis for class at least once per semester. If weather is
inclement, video conferencing is used.

Practica (for DNP courses) / Clinicals (for FNP courses)
Practica are organized to give flexibility and individual choice to students to support their increasing independence and
depth of practice experience at the doctoral level. Students select practicum experiences that are either structured
immersions in a variety of cultural contexts led by nursing faculty or that are student initiated and individually directed
experiences mentored by nursing faculty. FNP clinical sites will be arranged by clinical faculty.
In a 15-week semester, practicum hours are computed as follows:
1 semester credit hour = 45 clock hours of practicum time per semester
2 semester credit hours = 90 clock hours of practicum time per semester
3 semester credit hours = 135 clock hours of practicum time per semester
To earn the DNP/FNP, students must complete a total of 1,035 practicum hours. Students will be allowed to transfer up

clinical for integrative health). As such, all students will register for at least 23 semester credits of practica.
Seminars
Seminars focus on integration of conceptual learning with field practice developing the student’s particular practice
interest. Students are required to participate in a total of four one-semester-credit doctoral seminars during the
DNP/FNP program. The final seminar culminates in the project presentation and completion of the requirements for the
DNP degree.
Final DNP/FNP Capstone Project
Final DNP/FNP capstone projects must make a significant impact on nursing practice and health outcomes of
populations and communities, demonstrate an evidence-based contribution to existing nursing knowledge, and be
suitable for presentation or publication in a peer-reviewed venue. Through this scholarly project students demonstrate
leadership in synthesizing and applying scientific knowledge to practice challenges in local and/or system wide contexts

problem. The Augsburg MBA also provides students a unique opportunity to investigate business cultures and practices
through a faculty-led international experience. Our curriculum integrates the global experience of our faculty and
reflects Augsburg’s mission of developing leaders grounded in values, purpose, and vocation.
The Augsburg MBA is a proven accelerated cohort-based program focused on three learning modules; Personal and
Professional Development, Quantitative Decision Making and Value Creation, all built on a foundation of ethical
decision-making. We encourage our students to challenge themselves, their classmates and professors to bring a new
and expanded focus of the world through guided reflection and examination.
Augsburg MBA students are chosen because they exhibit purpose and direction in their careers and lives, and positive
engagement with their community and associates. Our MBA graduates make a difference. We invite you to become
part of a growing community of Augsburg MBA alumni.
Bruce E. Batten, Ph.D.
Director, Master of Business Administration Program
MBA Mission - “Prepare Students for Meaningful Work”
Our mission is to prepare students for meaningful work by developing their decision-making skills, critical thinking and
by transforming them into effective managers and leaders in service to others. The program aspires to provide an
outstanding student-centered education that produces graduates who are critically astute, technically proficient, and
who understand the moral and ethical consequences of their decisions on their organization and on the world.
Accreditation
The Augsburg MBA is a candidate for accreditation with the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs
(ACBSP).
Augsburg is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission, North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. For a
complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the listing in the Accreditation, Approvals,
and Memberships section.
MBA Program Overview
Today’s business leader must be able to quickly analyze situations and information and critically analyze alternatives and
courses of action. The purpose of the Augsburg MBA is to prepare students to accept greater responsibility in
organizations facing this dynamic and fast-evolving business culture. The curriculum of the MBA gives students the
ability to think critically and ethically as they face the increased challenges of a global business environment. Quality,
individual initiative, ethics, and teamwork are hallmarks of the Augsburg MBA. We have a commitment to continually
improve students’ experiences and learning in the program. Our faculty is uniquely qualified to bridge theory and realworld application, giving MBA students opportunities to acquire skills and knowledge in a variety of disciplines. The
Augsburg MBA offers students the flexibility of completing a general MBA or a specialized MBA with a concentration
that matches their interests and career goals.
Plan of Study
The Augsburg MBA is an accelerated, evening program that allows working professionals to complete an MBA degree in
approximately 24 months. This is accomplished by using a cohort model in which students follow a predetermined
schedule with classes meeting one night a week.
Students in a cohort program model stay together as a group through the sequence of classes for the duration of the
program. This provides a continuous, collaborative learning process. The cohort environment fosters a cohesive learning
64
community where students learn from each another, mentor each other, and peer coach. You’ll share diverse
professional expertise and experience as you work in teams on projects, case studies, presentations, and simulations,
both inside and outside of class. Working both individually and in small groups enables you to enhance your strengths,
build your skills, expand your business acumen, and improve your decision-making. Together as a community you’ll build
personal, social, and academic abilities.
Adult learners bring a wealth of work and personal life experiences with them into the classroom, multiplying the
opportunities for learning. The personal connections and relationships you build with fellow students and faculty will
extend into an important and valuable network as you take your career to new levels.
Program Requirements
The Augsburg MBA requires 42 semester credits for degree completion. Augsburg MBA courses are either one and a
half or three semester credits. Each three semester credit course consists of 28-32 hours of in-class instruction and 5 ½ 9 ½ hours of online instruction through our web-based electronic course management system.
Up to nine credits may be waived through prior business coursework (with director/faculty approval) or certain

and understanding of the core course material, and is properly prepared for any future core or elective course for
which the waived course was a prerequisite. Academic credit is not awarded for any waived course, nor will the
course appear on academic transcripts.
Academic Calendar
The Augsburg MBA is designed as a year-round program. Courses are offered during fall, spring, and summer semesters.
Courses are offered consecutively during each term so students are able to concentrate on one subject at a time. The
program is designed to have students take at least two courses per term.

Academic Policies
MBA Program Enrollment Policy
Students are strongly encouraged to remain in their cohort and complete their MBA program as scheduled. Adjustments
or modifications to the MBA schedule require the approval of the MBA program director.
All students are required to complete all components of the program within five years of matriculation. Extensions
beyond five years will be considered on the basis of petition to the MBA director. Students who leave the program for
more than one semester must request a leave of absence in writing from the MBA program. A leave of absence may be
granted for one calendar year. Students who return to the program after a leave of one year or more must fill out an
Application for Readmission form and submit it to the MBA office. Time spent on an official MBA-approved leave of
absence will not count toward the five-year deadline for degree completion.
Academic Evaluation
Evaluation of academic performance in the MBA program will be based on number grades using a 4.0-scale. For
complete information, see Academic Programs and Policies.
Withdrawal from Class
For information regarding the last date on which students may withdraw from a class and receive a “W” on their
records, refer to the academic calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar.
Attendance Policies
Student attendance at scheduled class meetings is a priority and required. However, MBA faculty understand that MBA
students are working adults with significant responsibilities who, on occasion, face unforeseen situations that may
interfere with attendance. Students should notify the faculty member teaching the course as soon as possible when the
problem is immediate. When the student knows in advance of a class date where a potential conflict exists, they must
discuss the proposed missed class with the faculty member prior to the date of the class. Students are responsible for
the work covered during that class session and for making appropriate arrangements for obtaining handouts, lecture
content, or other materials. Faculty members may assign appropriate independent work to insure that the student
understands the material covered during the class session.
If appropriate and acceptable coordination is carried out by the student, there need not be any grade reduction for a
single missed class session. This may be dependent on assignments due on the date of the missed class; e.g., final
67
project presentations or team presentations. Point/grade reductions for unexcused absences are the prerogative of the
faculty. Two missed class sessions, excused or unexcused, may be grounds for directing the student to withdraw from
the course. More than two absences, excused or unexcused, require that a student withdraw from the class.
Degree Requirements
To be conferred the MBA degree, students must achieve the following:
Successful completion of all admission conditions
Successful completion of MBA courses (2.5 or above)
No more than two courses with a grade of 2.5 or below, and with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher at the
completion of the program
Successful completion and submission of the management consulting project (capstone)
Students who successfully complete Augsburg’s MBA program will receive a Master of Business Administration
degree.

Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing
MFA Mission
The Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing is a two-year, low-residency program designed as a vibrant literary
community for writers who wish to deepen and broaden their artistic sensibilities, discover a close-knit cadre of fellow
writers, enjoy individual attention from an accomplished and forward-thinking faculty, and prepare themselves for the
future of creative writing.
Program Overview
Summer Residencies
The Augsburg Low-Residency MFA includes 10-day summer residencies on the Augsburg campus in Minneapolis,
offering daily workshops, readings, and mini-courses that focus on literary craft as well as career skills in teaching,
editing, publishing, book arts, marketing, translation, and adaptation. The full degree program includes three summer
residencies, featuring visits by distinguished writers in each genre as well as editors, agents, publishers, and literary
entrepreneurs.
Fall and Spring Semesters
The first two residencies are followed each year by fall and spring off-campus semesters. During those terms, students
work with faculty mentors in virtual classrooms that make use of online and other technologies. Each semester, MFA
candidates enroll in one Mentorship section and one section of Critical and Creative Reading. Although MFA learning
objectives call for demonstrated expertise in at least one genre by graduation, twenty-first century writers compose
their work in an environment in which genre has permeable boundaries and lines between genres are often erased.
With this in mind, cross-genre work will be encouraged, with students working in a genre other than the declared
specialty, usually during the second off-campus semester.
Semester Mentorships
The Mentorship is a one-on-one experience with a faculty mentor who guides the student’s production of work and
study of craft. This one-on-one creative studio experience is focused on the MFA candidate’s own writing and growth as
a writer.
Critical and Creative Reading in an Online Classroom
This is a reading-as-writers course that provides an opportunity to work with your professor and a community of peers,
considering craft, criticism and aesthetics. Meetings are online in the electronic classroom. The format may include
online discussion boards, Skype or video chats, and teleconferences with mentors and fellow learners. The online
classroom offers an opportunity to continue conversations begun during the residency with members of the MFA
community.
Students may repeat mentorship courses (ENL 511, 513, 521, and 523) and critical and creative readings courses
(ENL 512, 514, 522, and 524), subject to the permission of the program director.
Genres and Concentrations
Genres include Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, Poetry, Screenwriting and Playwriting.
The program also includes concentrations in teaching, translation, and publishing. Concentrations require additional
coursework. With the program director’s consent, students may enroll in concentration courses simultaneously with
MFA studies. Candidates enrolled in the publishing concentration will be the staff of a new publishing house, Howling
Bird Press, that will select and publish one book each year. The book prize is open to submissions nationally.
Plan of Study
Students may select a completion plan for the MFA:
69
The Traditional MFA in Creative Writing, in which the student chooses one genre as the designated field of study but
is encouraged to work outside the designated field of study for one term.
The Extended Study/Mixed Genre Option in which the student selects a primary genre and works in that genre for at
least three of four mentored and reading terms. Students completing the Extended Study Option complete five
mentored and reading terms, with at least four in the designated field. Students selecting the Mixed Genre option
complete five mentored and reading terms, with two outside the designated field.
The Career Concentration Option, in which the student also enrolls in electives in teaching, translation and/or
publishing. This plan may be added to both the Traditional and Extended Study/Mixed Genre options.
Accommodating Writers Who Work Full-Time and Those Who Live Outside of Minnesota
Augsburg’s Traditional MFA in Creative Writing can be completed in eleven courses (three summer residencies and four
off-campus electronic semesters of two courses each). A typical plan of study in the Traditional Low-Residency MFA will
work like this:
First Year
Summer Residency I, including genre workshops, writing seminars, readings and lectures, ten days on the Minneapolis
campus, with assignments before and after residency.
Fall Semester I, electronic classroom including one Mentorship studio and one Creative and Critical Reading course.
Spring Semester I, electronic classroom including one Mentorship studio and one Creative and Critical Reading
course (generally “out-of-genre” term).
Second Year
Summer Residency II, including genre workshops, writing seminars, readings and lectures, ten days on the
Minneapolis campus, with assignments before and after residency.
Fall Semester II, electronic classroom including one Mentorship studio and one Creative and Critical Reading This is
the craft-based academic paper term and students complete a craft paper at this point.
Spring Semester II, electronic classroom including one Mentorship studio (thesis completion term) and one
Creative and Critical Reading (lecture/presentation preparation term). Students complete the creative thesis in the
mentorship and in the reading course they plan a craft talk to be delivered in the third residency.
Third Year – Residency Only
Summer Residency III, including genre workshop, writing seminars, readings and lectures. Final term for graduating
MFA candidates. Graduates give a public lecture/presentation and a reading from thesis work. Ten days on the
Minneapolis campus, with assignments before and after residency.

Transfer
Augsburg’s low-residency MFA includes in-person and online elements that help us maintain a strong community and
create a culture in which our writers thrive.
This studio degree is the terminal degree in writing and because of the unique features of a terminal, low-residency,
studio degree, the final decision on transfer credit will depend on review by the Augsburg College MFA Program. A
maximum of eight semester credits from traditional residency MFA programs and from MA programs in creative writing
or English literature may be accepted. The MFA Program Director will review and may offer up to four additional credits
in transfer for equivalent residency or workshop experience completed in another program. The maximum transfer
credits allowed is 12 credits.
71
Academic Evaluation
Grading
The MFA Program uses fine arts studio grading practices, formative in nature and designed to be an element of the
teaching curriculum. A narrative transcript composed of comments on those elements that the particular student writer
is working on during a particular term will be used to assess progress in the mentorship courses. These are formative
and qualitative assessment elements and professors’ responses will vary as professor/artists and student/artists
approach student work with the student’s individual artistic aims in mind. In addition to the fine arts formative and
qualitative assessment, students will be assessed in light of their success in meeting learning objectives of the course
while completing work assigned.
MFA in Creative Writing Courses are graded on a Pass/No Credit basis, using the Augsburg graduate grading model scale
as described below:
P – Represents work at 3.0 or higher and meets acceptable standards.
N – No credit, not counted in grade point average.
Alignment of Course Outcomes
MFA courses are aligned with the Program Hallmarks of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP), the
national professional organization for writing programs and the writers who teach in those programs.
Participation
Students are expected to fully participate in Summer Residencies, attending workshop sessions and scheduled meetings
with mentors as well as a majority of readings, lectures and other scheduled sessions. Participation in off-campus
coursework is expected to occur during the designated time for each Mentorship studio critique session and “time
away” for creative work. Students are also expected to take part in synchronous and asynchronous sessions with
mentors and demonstrate “presence” in the Creative and Critical Reading courses through regularly scheduled
exchanges with faculty and peers.
Academic Honesty
Augsburg’s high expectations for academic honesty will be applied to this class. Please refer to the Student Guide at
inside.augsburg.edu/studentaffairs/studentguide/academic-honest-policies if you have any questions.
Affiliation
The Augsburg College MFA Program is a member of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP) and

Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies
Mission
The mission of the Augsburg College Department of Physician Assistant Studies is based on a foundation of respect and
sensitivity to persons of all cultures and backgrounds and oriented toward providing care to underserved populations.
Students are well educated in current medical theory and practice, and graduates are encouraged to work in primary
care settings. The program promotes dedication to excellence in performance, with the highest standards of ethics and
integrity, and commitment to lifelong personal and professional development.
Accreditation
The Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) has granted Continued
Accreditation to the Physician Assistant Program sponsored by Augsburg College. Continued accreditation is an
accreditation status granted when a currently accredited program is in compliance with the ARC-PA Standards.
Continued Accreditation remains in effect until the program closes or withdraws from the accreditation process or until
accreditation is withdrawn for failure to comply with the Standards. The approximate date for the next comprehensive
review of the program by ARC-PA will be September 2018.
About PA
As defined by the American Academy of Physician Assistants:
“PAs are health professionals licensed or, in the case of those employed by the federal government, credentialed to
practice medicine in association with designated collaborating physicians. PAs are qualified by graduation from an
accredited PA educational program and/or certification by the National Commission on Certification of Physician
Assistants ... Within the physician-PA relationship, PAs provide patient-centered medical care services as a member of a
healthcare team. PAs practice with defined levels of autonomy and exercise independent medical decision making within
their scope of practice.”
In the state of Minnesota, a PA is licensed with the Board of Medical Practice. In Minnesota, and most other states,
the PA must be NCCPA (National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants) certified and hold a
supervisory agreement with a licensed physician. Minnesota registered PAs have prescriptive privileges under
delegatory supervision with their physician for prescriptive medications.
Curriculum
The Physician Assistant program at Augsburg is 31 months long with studies beginning each year in the summer
semester (early June). The program accepts up to 30 students for each new class. Graduates will receive a Master of
Science in Physician Assistant Studies and a PA certificate.
The Augsburg PA program includes traditional college “breaks” such as winter holiday break, spring breaks, and summer
breaks. Length of breaks varies depending upon the student’s year in the program; these breaks contribute to the
overall 31 month length of the program.
Studies begin in early June of each year. The first 18 months of study is didactic, or classroom work, including courses in
human gross anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical medicine, pharmacotherapy, history and physical exam skills, research,
and professional issues.
The clinical phase is 13 months in length. The clinical phase of the program is designed to effectively train students for
practice by providing them with rotation experiences in different specialties and different practice settings. To that end,
each student will be required to complete rotations outside the metropolitan area. Each student is required to
successfully complete clinical rotations in family medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, psychiatry, emergency medicine,
internal medicine, surgery, and two elective rotations by choosing from various specialties. The clinical phase will
culminate with a preceptorship in primary care, medical subspecialty or surgical subspecialty. This preceptorship is
designed to solidify the student’s primary care skills, and potentially place them in a setting that might be interested in
77
recruiting a graduate PA. The majority of established clinical rotation sites are in Minnesota in both rural and urban
locations.
The clinical curriculum is taught by physicians, and supplemented by physician assistants and other healthcare providers.
Each student is evaluated by the clinical instructor for the designated rotation. Students will return to Augsburg College
five times during the clinical phase for evaluation and education.

PA Studies Application Process
The Augsburg Physician Assistant Studies program has a two-step application process—applying through CASPA and to
Augsburg’s PA Studies Program.
The Augsburg PA Program participates in the Centralized Application Service for Physician Assistants (CASPA) which is
sponsored by the Physician Assistant Education Association (PAEA). All applications to the PA Program for the entering
class must be processed through CASPA, following all guidelines and regulations set forth by CASPA. Application forms
with detailed instructions can be obtained online at portal.caspaonline.org.
You will be considered an eligible applicant if you have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 at the time of application (as
calculated by CASPA), if you have a minimum science GPA of 3.0 at the time of application (as calculated by CASPA), if
you have completed or will complete your undergraduate degree prior to the start date of the program, and if you have
completed or will complete your prerequisite courses within the timeline specified for your degree status.
Additional Application Details:
The Augsburg PA Program requires three letters of recommendation submitted through the CASPA process. . We
recommend that one letter be from an employer/colleague (a professional reference), one letter be from a
professor or advisor (an academic reference), and one from a person of your choice. Be sure that your letter writers
are able to tell the committee about you as well as his/her experiences with you and observations about you.
Your Supplemental Application must be received in the PA Program office postmarked on or before the deadline in
order to be considered.
We use the CASPA “Complete Date” to determine if you have met the application deadline. The “Complete Date” on
your application must be the deadline or prior in order to be considered meeting the deadline. CASPA assigns a
“Complete Date’ when they have received your electronic application, transcripts from all schools attended, 2 of
your 3 letters of reference, and payment. Until those criteria are met, your application will not be given a “Complete
Date.”
Augsburg’s PA Program Supplemental Application can be downloaded from our website at www.augsburg.edu/pa. It is
important for the applicant to determine whether he or she is in fact eligible to apply to the PA Studies Program, as the
supplemental application fee is non-refundable. You will be required to print and sign the supplemental application and
mail it to the program with your supplemental application fee by the application deadline.
Selection Process
All complete files (CASPA and Supplemental Applications that meet requirements) will be reviewed by the admissions
committee. The admissions committee procedures utilize a blinded review, so applicant demographic data is unknown
(e.g., race, age, gender). Each file is reviewed by members of the committee.
The selection committee looks for a balanced application by reviewing many criteria including key criteria of cumulative
GPA, science GPA, and direct patient care experience, along with overall academic record, service to underserved
(meaning disadvantaged, minority, or under-represented populations), knowledge of the profession, fit with the
program goals and mission, and recommendation letters.
Once the committee has completed the file review, a group of candidates is selected for a telephone interview. The
telephone interviews are generally conducted between November and January. Those selected for a telephone
interview are invited to a Candidate Information Session in the program to meet faculty, staff, current students, and to
view the facilities. As telephone interviews are completed, seats in the incoming class are offered. The class of 30
students will be filled between the months of October and January. A list of alternates will be selected in January to fill
seats that accepted candidates may not claim. All applicants are notified of their final status by mid-February.
Accepted applicants must complete and pass a background check prior to matriculation and annually throughout the
program. Failure of the background check could result in dismissal from the program.

Motor
Candidates must possess the motor skills necessary to perform palpation, percussion, auscultation, and other
diagnostic maneuvers. Candidates must be able to execute motor movements reasonably required to provide
general and emergency medical care such as airway management, placement of intravenous catheters,
cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and application of pressure to control bleeding. These skills require coordination of
both gross and fine muscular movements, equilibrium and integrated use of the senses.
Cognitive
In order to effectively solve clinical problems, candidates must be able to measure, evaluate, reason, analyze,
integrate and synthesize in a timely fashion. In addition, they must be able to comprehend three dimensional
relationships and to understand the special relationships of structures.
Social
Candidates must possess the emotional health required for the full utilization of their intellectual abilities, for the
exercise of good judgment, for the prompt completion of all responsibilities attendant to the diagnosis and care of
patients, and for the development of effective relationships with patients. Candidates must be able to tolerate
physically taxing workloads and function effectively under stress. They must be able to adapt to changing

Experiential Learning Policy
The Augsburg Physician Assistant Program does not award academic credit to an individual for experiential learning.
Applicants desiring admission to Augsburg’s PA Program must satisfactorily complete all prerequisite courses.
81
Experiential learning will be considered separately from prerequisite courses. Experiential learning prior to and during
admittance to the Augsburg PA Program will not substitute for any part of the clinical year or preceptorship.
Employment while in the Program
Program faculty discourage outside employment while in the Physician Assistant Program. Faculty recognize that
employment may be an issue that some students will face. Given this recognition, realize that program obligations will
not be altered due to a student’s work obligations. It is further expected that work obligations will not interfere with the
physician assistant students’ learning progress or responsibilities while in the program.
Withdrawal and Readmission Policies
Voluntary withdrawal from the Physician Assistant Program may be initiated by a student after submission of a letter to
the program director requesting withdrawal. In the letter, the student should outline the circumstances and reasons for
withdrawal. Students will be requested to conduct an exit interview with the program director prior to leaving the
program. For information on withdrawal, see the Academic Policies section.
Readmission
Students may request readmission after voluntary withdrawal by submitting a letter to the program director stating the
reasons the student wishes readmission and the anticipated date for readmission. The submission of a letter and
previous enrollment does not constitute automatic acceptance and/or reentry into the program. Reapplication to the PA
Program after dismissal from the program will be considered only under extremely unusual circumstances.
For the full readmission policy and reapplication process, please contact the program.
Advanced Placement
The Department of PA Studies does not offer advanced placement to admitted students. All students admitted to the PA
Program must complete the entire curriculum.
Transfer
The Department of PA studies does not accept student transfers from other PA programs.

Master of Social Work
You have chosen an exciting way to serve others. The social work profession offers you the rewarding prospect of joining
with others to respond to problems and develop opportunities that benefit individuals, families, groups, and
communities. The MSW degree prepares you for advanced professional practice in the field of social work.
Augsburg’s MSW program prepares you for agency-based practice with individuals, families, groups, and communities,
and with a dedication to system change that reduces oppression and discrimination. Graduates of our program share
how they appreciated the opportunity to learn new ideas as well as learn more about themselves. These graduates
valued our small class size, our cohort structure, and the opportunity to have a mentoring relationship with our faculty
and staff. As a small program, we have high expectations for our students and at the same time offer the flexibility to
help them meet their individual goals.
Attending Augsburg College will transform and develop your professional life in unexpected ways. We have two
concentrations. The first, Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP), will prepare you for direct clinical practice with
individuals, families, and groups. The second, Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP), will prepare you for macro social
work practice with organizations, communities, and other large systems.
We are delighted in your interest in our MSW program and invite you to join us in a lifelong adventure in learning. The
personal and professional growth necessary to become an advanced professional social worker is challenging. We
encourage you to take the challenge with us.

MSW Mission
Our mission is to develop social work professionals for advanced practice that promotes social justice and
empowerment towards the well-being of people in a diverse and global society.
Program Overview
The MSW program prepares social work students for agency-based practice in public and nonprofit settings. By working
in the agency setting, social workers collaborate with others to provide holistic, affordable, and accessible services to
individuals, families, groups, and communities. Our challenging MSW curriculum integrates social work theory with
micro and macro practice methods. Students develop skills, knowledge, and values necessary for ethical social work
practice. As you progress through our MSW program, you will:
Learn how individuals live in and are affected by their social environment
Understand how social policies and programs affect individuals, families, communities, and society
Apply theories and methods of practice through the field practicum experience
Use a range of client-centered approaches to practice with client groups of all types and sizes
Engage in practice informed by sound, scholarly research
Evaluate the effectiveness of your social work practice or social work programs
Advocate for the eradication of oppression and discrimination
Be a responsible and contributing citizen in the local and global community
Accreditation
Augsburg’s MSW program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). Your MSW degree must be
accredited by CSWE if you seek licensure with the social work board of your state. For more information on CSWE
accreditation go to www.cswe.org.
Augsburg College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and
Schools. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the About Augsburg College
section of this catalog.

Plan of Study
Students entering Augsburg’s MSW program with a bachelor’s degree from a discipline other than social work are
classified as foundation students. Full-time foundation students are enrolled in a two year program. Part-time
foundation students are enrolled in a four year program.
Students entering Augsburg’s MSW program with a bachelor’s degree in social work from a CSWE (Council on Social
Work Education) accredited institution are classified as advanced standing students. Advanced standing students are
enrolled in a 16 month program. The part-time option is not generally available for advanced standing students.
All students must complete the MSW degree in no more than 4 years following matriculation.
Academic Calendar
The MSW program meets on a semester calendar, with classes offered September through June. Classes typically meet
every other weekend with an occasional back-to-back weekend. Field practicum hours are generally completed during
weekday hours. If a student lives outside the Twin Cities metro, the field practicum hours can be completed at a
placement near the student’s place of residence. Hours per week vary depending on the agency placement and the
student’s availability. For academic calendars and schedules, go to www.augsburg.edu/registrar.
Class Periods
Classes meet in 4 hour blocks on Friday evenings, 6 to 10:00 pm; Saturday mornings, 8:00 am to 12 pm; and Saturday
afternoons, 1:00 to 5:00 pm. Each class meets on campus for 8 sessions in a given semester and for 4 sessions on
campus in a summer term (May-June), with the expectation that students engage in hybrid learning activities between
on-campus class weekends.
Time Commitment
Although classes meet on weekends, students spend time on their studies during non-class weekends and weekdays in
accordance with our hybrid learning format. Hybrid learning is a combination of face-to-face class sessions and
online/experiential learning. On a class weekend, the typical student will spend 12 hours in class within a 23-hour
period. For every hour spent in class, a student may expect to spend 3 to 4 hours outside of class working on online
activities, assignments, readings, or group projects. A student may also spend 15 to 20 hours per week in the field
practicum during the fall and spring semesters (a span of 8 to 9 months for each practicum). In the final year of study,
students complete a summative evaluation or a portfolio, which requires significant independent research, analysis, and
writing.
Some MSW students work full-time while enrolled in the program. However, full-time employment is not
recommended. Most students arrange to reduce their work hours or request time away during their graduate studies.
Each student’s situation is unique and must be decided individually. All students must develop strategies for balancing
family, work, and academic responsibilities.
Credit and Contact Hours
MSW courses range from 2 to 4 semester credits. Depending on the number of credits, students will spend 16 to 32
hours in the classroom per course. Students will also be expected to engage in activities and independent study outside
of class.
Cohort Structure
MSW students are admitted to a particular cohort. Cohorts are distinguished by level of admission (foundation or
advanced standing), rate of attendance (full-time or part-time), and chosen concentration (Multicultural Clinical Practice
[MCCP] or Multicultural Macro Practice [MCMP]). Any changes to a student’s cohort selection must be approved by the
MSW director.
84
Field Practicum
Foundation students complete 920 hours in two field practica; advanced standing students complete 500 hours in one
field practicum. Successful completion of the first field practicum, required for foundation students, is a minimum of 420
hours. Successful completion of the second field practicum, required for both foundation and advanced standing
students, is a minimum of 500 hours. Each practicum experience is spread over two semesters (fall and spring). These
hours are completed concurrent with enrollment in the fieldwork seminars as well as other MSW courses.
MSW Curriculum Components
Foundation Curriculum
In the foundation courses and field practicum, you are introduced to social work as a profession. You will learn both
historical and contemporary theories and practice methods relating to both the individual and the environment. During
the foundation year, you will study human behavior and the social environment, history of social welfare policy,
research methods, assessment frameworks, family and community diversity, and social work values and ethics.
In the foundation curriculum you will apply this generalist knowledge of theories and practice methods in the generalist
field practicum. The field practicum is completed concurrently with your enrollment in two field seminar courses. The
full foundation curriculum is required of all students, with the exception of those admitted with advanced standing.
Before beginning the concentration curriculum, all foundation coursework and field hours must be successfully
completed.
Concentration Curriculum
After completing the foundation requirements, you will enroll in the concentration curriculum that you selected at the
time of application. You will also complete an advanced field practicum. Augsburg offers two concentrations:
Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) or Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP). In either concentration, you will deepen
your knowledge of the primary issues affecting families and communities, develop a range of client-centered approaches
to practice, gain a broader understanding of human diversity, develop competencies in practice-based research, and
learn practice or program evaluation techniques.
In the concentration curriculum, you will apply this advanced knowledge of theories and practice methods in the
concentration field practicum. The field practicum is relevant to your chosen concentration and is completed
concurrently with your enrollment in two field seminar courses. As a capstone to your MSW program, you will complete
a portfolio project or a summative evaluation project.
Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) Concentration
Multiculturalism is a process requiring practitioners to have a deep awareness of their social and cultural identities, as
well as the ability to use multiple lenses when working with diverse populations. With person-in-environmen
