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

Financing higher education could be the most significant investment a person or family makes in a lifetime. Proper planning and wise choices are important, not only in choosing a college, but also in the methods used to pay for it. Augsburg College, through its Enrollment Center, will help students and their families protect access to a quality Augsburg education in a time of increasing financial challenge. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 2005-2006 academic year, more than eight out of ten students at Augsburg received financial assistance. The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid supplements student and family resources. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), current tax documents, and Augsburg Verification Worksheet help determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational expenses, debts, retirement needs, and special considerations. ■ HOW TO APPLY The following are required to process your financial aid application: 1. Be admitted to Augsburg as a regular student or be a returning student in good academic standing with the College. 2.

Experiences in the classroom are an important part of college life, but learning and development also occur in formal and informal activities of the College and the metropolitan area. Whether students are residents or commuters, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to their education. CAMPUS MINISTRY . As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth is evident in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their own faith. Because our campus is comprised of individuals from many different religious and cultural backgrounds, our worship life is characterized by a similar diversity and richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth groups, outreach teams and community outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are examples of the wide variety of activities on campus. This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays, Trinity Lutheran worship services are held on campus, with many other churches within walking distance. We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to use and discover the gifts and sense of call and vocation that God has given them. As a college of the church, we encourage students to form values guided by our Christian heritage, which will be the basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond their years at Augsburg. The college pastor, associate college pastor, and campus ministry staff have offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or information. VOCATION . Augsburg College created a program entitled Exploring Our Gifts through the generous support of the Lilly Endowment. Established in Spring 2002, the Exploring Our Gifts program is designed to help students in their college journey to make connections between faith, vocation, and work. The program assists students in this journey by intentionally introducing vocational themes into the curriculum, co-curricular activities, service-learning experiences, and mentoring relationships at the College. Exploring Our Gifts also provides resources to encourage students to consider Christian ministry. Contact the director of Exploring Our Gifts for further information about the program. STUDENT GOVERNMENT . Through Student Government, students secure a closer relationship with and better understanding of the administration and faculty and provide input into the decision-making process at Augsburg. Student Government also sponsors and directs student organizations, protects student rights, and provides the means for debate and activism on all issues pertaining to student life at Augsburg. Student Life 41 Student Government is organized into several committees. Elections are held in the spring for the next year. Freshmen elect their representatives in the fall of their first year. Many kinds of involvement are possible—program planning, writing, editing, or service opportunities. If you want to get involved, contact the president or vice president of the student body in their offices in the lower level of the Christensen Center. CAMPUS ACTIVITIES AND . ORIENTATION . The Office of Campus Activities and Orientation creates opportunities for students to enhance their leadership skills through active co-curricular involvement. These events, activities and organizations serve the campus community by helping students become connected and invested in their Augsburg experience. Orientation programs on campus help new students to Augsburg College become familiar with their new surroundings and the various resources that Augsburg offers students. Summer Orientation and Registration (SOAR) is a summer orientation program for entering first-year students where they will receive their class schedule, meet their orientation leader and meet new Auggies. Auggie Days is a fourday, fall transition program prior to the beginning of classes. It is a comprehensive, educational orientation program dedicated to helping new first year students become acclimated to the campus and feel comfortable in their new home. TRANSFERmation and Spring Begin are transfer and new beginner orientation programs that take place in the fall and spring respectively. SOCIAL, CULTURAL, RECREATIONAL . Throughout the year, a variety of social and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities.

Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and challenging, yet supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds, preparations, and experiences. Students who qualify for assistance from CLASS work directly with one of our disability specialists to develop an appropriate educational plan. These plans may include: • Accommodations for testing and classroom (e.g., extended time, notetaking) • Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, general technology assistance, academic advising, counseling, financial aid) • Use of assistive technology through the Groves Computer Laboratory • Individual meetings (weekly or occasional) with a specialist for assistance with academic, organizational, and time management skills CLASS specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisers, and other members of the college faculty, staff, or administration to ensure that students have every opportunity for success. Taking advantage of those opportunities, however, remains the student’s responsibility. These services are available to any Augsburg student who establishes eligibility by submitting appropriate documentation to the CLASS office. A copy of the Guidelines for Documentation of a Disability can be obtained by contacting the CLASS Office. 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. These services are made possible in part through endowment support provided by the Gage family and the Groves Foundation. ■ ACADEMIC SKILLS COACHING The Academic Skills Coaches, located in Science 116, offer students study-skills assistance so they may achieve academic success.

To act effectively, human beings must have a broad grasp of the world from which they have come as well as the world in which they live. By providing courses in the humanities, fine arts, natural sciences, and social sciences, the general education curriculum introduces students to the breadth and complexity of knowledge and culture. Required Search for Meaning courses are designed to acquaint students with the Christian tradition, introduce them to other faith traditions, and encourage them to reflect upon the importance and meaning of spirituality in their lives. Recreation courses offer students opportunities to develop skills for participation in exercise and sporting activities. Students choose from over 50 major areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a career or further study. Thus, through a balance of curricular activities supported by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg College education strives to educate its students in a real world for the real world. ■ DEGREES OFFERED Augsburg offers the bachelor of arts, the bachelor of music, and the bachelor of science degrees. Augsburg also offers the master of arts (in leadership, nursing, and education), the master of business administration, the master of science (in physician assistant studies), and the master of social work degrees. ■ ACADEMIC CALENDAR The Augsburg day program follows the semester calendar, with fall and spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks. Fulltime students normally take four course credits each semester. The day program calendar is coordinated with those of the four other colleges of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities, so students can take a course on another campus during the regular term.** Weekend College classes meet on alternate weekends and the program follows a trimester calendar. Some classes may meet on weekday evenings. The fall trimester is held from early September through midDecember. Winter trimester meets from January through early April. Spring classes are held from mid-April through the end of June. There are 7-8 class sessions each trimester, and classes meet on weekends for 3-1/2 to 4 hours. (Refer to the program schedule for weekday evening meeting times.) Students may take from one to four classes each term.** The Rochester Program operates on a trimester calendar. Classes are held on weekday evenings and meet an alternate weeks.

Students may take one to four classes each term.** **(See Registration on page 70 and Calendars on pages 4-7) Courses and majors offered through Weekend College and the Rochester Program are the same as their day program counterparts. However, the curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts courses and majors. Academic Information 55 Augsburg offers three summer school sessions, including a summer online option. The Summer Session Catalog is published in the winter of each year. Augsburg graduate programs follow a trimester calendar, except for Physician Assistant Studies. (See Graduate Programs on page 68.) ■ FACULTY The heart of any educational institution is its faculty. Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a doctorate or the highest degree in their field, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are also involved in a variety of professional and research activities that support their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that introduces them to current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching techniques and theories. Augsburg’s size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. Every freshman is assigned an Augsburg Seminar adviser and, later, chooses a major adviser. In this close interaction, faculty act as both mentors and models for students. ■ LIBRARY AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES The James G. Lindell Family Library opened in 1997. The four-level, 73,000square-foot facility houses all library and information technology functions of the College. In addition to the 180,000 volume main collection, the Lindell Library includes special collections and archives, curriculum library, a computer lab and stu- dent computing help desk, library instruction classroom, and facilities for media viewing and listening. Skyways link the library to the new Gateway Building as well as to Sverdrup Hall, which houses the Enrollment Center, additional computer labs and multimedia classrooms, a lounge, and a vending area. Library Resources A service-oriented staff provides students and faculty alike with assistance to meet diverse information needs including instruction in the use of the library, reference service, and guidance in pursuing research. Arrangements are made for access by students with physical limitation and special needs. Students can search a wide variety of local, regional, national, and international databases. Electronic access to the world of scholarship is also available through the Internet, and a computerized on-line catalog and daily courier service provide access to the library holdings of the seven private liberal arts colleges in the Twin Cities.

ACADEMIC ORGANIZATION AND. PROGRAMS . ■ DIVISIONS AND DEPARTMENTS The College curriculum is offered by 26 departments that are grouped into three divisions for administrative and instructional purposes. Fine Arts and Humanities— American Indian studies, art, communication studies, English, history, modern languages, music, philosophy, religion, theatre arts, College librarians. Natural and Social Sciences— Biology, chemistry, computer science, economics, mathematics, physics, political science, psychology, sociology. Professional Studies—Business administration, education, health and physical education, nursing, physician assistant studies, social work. ■ MAJORS AND MINORS Majors, or concentrations of study, may be within one department, within one division, or may cross academic disciplines. Some students decide on a major or majors before they enter college. Others explore a variety of disciplines before deciding. The college requires students to declare a major by the end of the sophomore year, and earlier in some disciplines. Details of majors and minors are in the course description section. Unless otherwise indicated, majors are part of the bachelor of arts degree. Student-Designed Major Students may design their own major with the assistance and approval of three advisers from relevant fields and subsequent final approval by the Augsburg College Academic Affairs Committee (AAC). A student-designed major allows Academic Information 57 flexibility in selecting major courses. Any student wishing to design a major must complete a proposal, submit it with approval and supporting letters from three faculty advisers, and obtain AAC approval of the program. Students should seek AAC approval as early as possible so that any changes suggested by AAC may be incorporated into the design without affecting the student’s proposed completion date. The deadline for initial submission of the program design to AAC is the first term in which the student has achieved junior status; the final version must be approved the term before the student achieves senior status. Students wishing to design majors must: 1. Develop the student-designed major in concert with three faculty advisers from relevant fields, who together constitute the Review Team. All advisers must sign the proposal cover sheet and submit supporting letters of approval to AAC. Supporting letters should assess BOTH the student’s ability to complete the proposed major and the validity and value of the proposed major, including (in at least one of the letters) the proposed capstone course. The advisers’ signatures and supporting letters represent their approval of the program, including the capstone course, and their commitment to oversee the student’s progress. 2. Develop a student-designed major program proposal that includes: a. A statement of learning goals and objectives. b. A list of proposed courses (minimum of nine, no more than one of which is a lower-level language course and at least five of which are upper division) and a discussion of how the courses are related to the program goals. Indicate how the pro- posed courses collectively support a specialized and cohesive plan usually associated with a college major. Proposals must include research describing comparable programs of study at a minimum of three other academic institutions. In addition, students should consult with the Center for Service, Work, and Learning for additional information regarding career objectives. The proposal should provide information showing how the Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements (including graduation skills) are to be fulfilled. c. A description of the student-designed major capstone to be taken sometime during the senior year. The student should devise the capstone in consultation with advisers. It should require an integrative project/paper that draws together the course work up to that point and/or prepares one for further study. In addition, at least one of the advisers must specifically address the rationale for the proposed capstone in his or her supporting letter, though approval of the student-designed major program by all advisers presumes their approval of the capstone course. 3. Submit the completed proposal and supporting documentation to the Dean’s Office. If AAC approves the proposed major program, the student will be expected to complete the program designed and still meet all of the other Augsburg degree requirements as stated in the college catalog. Students who design their own majors will meet with their advisers regularly throughout the design and subsequent evaluation of their program. Changes in the approved student-designed major may be made through the normal petition process to the Student Standing Committee with adviser approval. 58 Academic Information Listings that are shaded are offered through both the day program and Weekend College. Weekend College students may choose a major offered in the day program if they wish. They may take as many courses as possible through Weekend College, then finish the major as a day program student. A change of program is allowed once each academic year. MAJORS AND AREAS OF EMPHASIS.

The center encourages students to take advantage of Augsburg’s metropolitan location through the highly successful service-learning, internship, and career plan- Academic Information 67 ning programs that link the College’s academic programs to community organizations and businesses. Service- and work-based experiential education opportunities are closely related to students’ coursework, majors, and/or career interests. Learning opportunities may be in non-profit organizations, churches, schools, government agencies, community-based organizations, small and mid-size companies, and large corporations. The underlying assumption is that a liberal arts education is an effective preparation for careers and citizenship. The integration of “knowing and doing” adds breadth and depth to the liberal arts curriculum and assists students in making more informed academic, personal, and career decisions. The Center for Service, Work, and Learning includes the following programs: Community Service-Learning Augsburg’s Community ServiceLearning Program provides students with opportunities to understand and respond to needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences and civic engagement. A key component of community service-learning includes reflection on and analysis of community issues in order to promote personal and educational growth and civic responsibility. Through connecting classroom content with service, Augsburg students learn from and about the organizations where they serve and deepen their understanding of course knowledge. This dynamic and interactive educational approach employs reciprocal learning between the students and the community. Community service-learning examples include tutoring at schools and literacy centers, volunteering at homeless shelters, Habitat for Humanity, and com- munity centers, or working with cultural and environmental groups. The service-learning program also works closely with the student-directed Augsburg LINK and campus ministry. Academic Internships An academic internship is a carefully planned, service- or work-based learning experience where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning objectives. Academic credit is received for the learning derived from the experience. A learning agreement plan, negotiated with a faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlines the internship objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods. An academic internship is approved, supervised, and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the student wishes to earn the internship credit. Internships can be registered for 1 course credit or .5 course credit. Internships are available in all majors and can be taken during a semester (or Weekend College trimester), or summer sessions. Inter-disciplinary internships are also available. For extension of an internship beyond one term see Evaluation and Grading on page 85. A maximum of four courses of internship may count toward the total courses required for the degree. Cooperative Education Cooperative Education is a non-credit transcript notation for paid work experiences related to a student’s major or career objective. The goal is for students to apply theory to practice in a work setting. Job opportunities typically are part-time during the academic year and/or full-time in the summer and can begin and end anytime. Students must register for the non-credit 68 Academic Information transcript notation, set learning goals and evaluate their experience. The director of the Center for Service, Work, and Learning supervises co-op transcript notation work experiences. Academic internships and cooperative education may be used to fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement. Career Services Career Services is committed to providing opportunities and programs to help students discover their unique gifts, talents, skills, and interests, explore career paths, and grapple with questions of vocation and purpose in a changing world. This process is viewed as an important part of a student’s development while attending college. To aid in this process, career staff provide career related assessments, one-onone career planning and coaching, and assistance with choosing majors, locating internships, preparing for job searches and graduate school applications, and making connections to community, business, and alumni resources. ■ GRADUATE PROGRAMS Augsburg College offers six graduate degree programs: Master of Arts in Education, Master of Arts in Leadership, Master of Arts in Nursing, Master of Business Administration, Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, and Master of Social Work. Catalogs for each degree program should be consulted for complete information. The Master of Arts in Education offers initial licensure coursework at the graduate level in elementary education, secondary education, and special education: E/BD and LD. Students are able to take up to six licensure courses at the graduate level and complete their licensure programs with a combination of graduate and undergradu- ate coursework. Students can then apply their graduate level licensure courses to complete a master’s degree program. Students will complete their master’s degrees through a combination of MAL coursework and graduate level education coursework (total of nine courses). Licensed teachers also can pursue special education: E/BD and/or LD, as well as the K-12 Reading Licensure Endorsement licensure at the graduate level. The program is available through the Weekend College schedule, and the admissions process begins with the Weekend College Admissions office. For further information about the programs, contact the Education Department or the Weekend College Admissions office. The Master of Arts in Leadership is based on a liberal arts approach to leadership studies. This cross-disciplinary program directs its academic content and pedagogical approaches to situations, issues, and problems relevant to organizational leaders. Augsburg’s program recognizes that today’s leaders need a broad spectrum of abilities to provide them with a more comprehensive understanding of their world. Designed for working adults, the program operates on alternate Saturdays. The Master of Arts in Nursing prepares nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural community health nursing practice across care settings, with emphasis on addressing health inequities among diverse populations. The program is offered within the context of a Christian liberal arts education. Graduates are eligible to apply for national certification in Advanced Community Health Nursing, or Advanced Nursing Administration through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), and/or Transcultural Nursing through the Transcultural Nursing Society (TCNS). Classes meet on a flexible immer- Academic Information 69 sion schedule (every other week or once per month) that may include weekdays, weekday evenings, and Saturdays. Webenhanced pedagogies are used for all classes. Practicums include optional short-term study abroad experiences. Students may choose to study in Mexico, Guatemala, Namibia, Pine Ridge, SD, and/or Europe. The Master of Arts in Nursing Program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education in accordance with its accreditation standards and procedures. The Master of Business Administration is designed to give students mastery of the skills and knowledge necessary to advance in their careers and accept roles of greater responsibility in an organization. Meeting primarily on one evening per week, this challenging program is designed to be completed in 20 months. Organized in cohort format, the program encourages learning in a collaborative small-group environment and features a high level of interaction and attention from the faculty. The program focuses on giving students the ability to think critically and effectively manage in complex environments. An intensive Field Study course allows students to apply classroom learning to an actual business or organizational environment. Local businesses and organizations provide a learning laboratory for students as they complete projects in various disciplines and functions. The core program can be enhanced through participation in a number of certificate options including Finance, Financial Planning, International Business, Marketing Management, Music Business, and Human Resource Management. The Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies is designed for students interested in careers as health care providers. The mission of the program is based on a foundation of respect and sensitivity for the cultures and backgrounds of, and is oriented toward providing care to, underserved populations. Students are well educated in current medical theory and practice in primary care medicine. All physician assistants must have a supervising physician to practice. The program is three years long with classes held Monday through Friday during the day. The Master of Social Work, accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, prepares students for entering advanced social work practice. The program builds on the liberal arts base of the College and supports the College’s mission to nurture future leaders in service to the world. There are two concentrations: family practice or program development, policy, and administration. Students choose one of the two concentrations for their program focus. The curriculum emphasizes work with diverse and oppressed groups, social justice, leadership for social change and a holistic, strengths-based, problem-solving framework. Graduate social work classes meet in four-hour blocks on Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, and Saturday afternoons. The family practice concentration prepares students to work with families and individuals within families, across the full range of contemporary social work practice settings. The program development, policy, and administration concentration prepares students to actively seek equality and justice for clients within agencies, institutions, and society, while directing energy toward changing policies that obscure and oppress people. A dual degree (Master of Social Work and Master of Arts in Theology) is also 70 Academic Information available and is offered in collaboration with Luther Seminary. The dual degree is designed to meet the educational interests of people planning to serve the spiritual and social needs of families, individuals, and communities. ■ OTHER PROGRAMS Continuing Education Program The mission of Augsburg College continuing education program is to provide working adults with lifelong learning opportunities that will enable them to continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually in their homes, workplaces, and communities. The program strives to meet the needs of the community by offering credit and non-credit programs consistent with the mission of Augsburg College. Programs are developed through collaborations between academic and administrative departments of the College and community organizations. These collaborations have included the Departments of Business, Biology, the Center for Leadership Studies, Education, Nursing, Religion, Social Work, Institutional Advancement, and organizations including Minneapolis and St. Paul public school districts, Minnesota Department of Education, and the Midwest Regional Office of the College Board. Augsburg College is a Lifelong Learning Partner with the ELCA. Canadian Program The Canadian program was inaugurated in 1985 with endowment from the Mildred Joel bequest for Canadian studies. The program supports special events and conferences as well as student internships and faculty activity in Canadian studies. The goals of the program include community involvement, increased awareness of the importance of Canadian/U.S. relations, and provision of opportunities to learn directly from Canadians through visits and exchanges. College of the Third Age Augsburg College demonstrates its commitment to lifelong learning through its College of the Third Age. For more than 25 years this program has brought classes in the liberal arts and the humanities to mature learners in the Twin Cities metropolitan community. Approximately fifty retired professors are available to teach one class or a series of classes at churches, synagogues, community centers, or senior residences. The current catalog lists over 200 classes available for group study only.

PROCEDURES. ■ REGISTRATION A student must be registered for a course to receive credit for it. Full-time day students normally register for four course credits per semester. Students registered for three or more course credits in a semester are classified as full-time students. Students registered for two course credits are classified as halftime students. To register for more than 4.5 course credits, students must contact the Enrollment Center to petition the Academic Information 71 Committee on Student Standing unless the following apply: cumulative GPA at Augsburg of 3.00 to 3.49 may take a total of 5.0 course credits; cumulative GPA at Augsburg of 3.50 or greater may take a total of 5.5 course credits without petitioning. All overload registrations must be done in person at the Enrollment Center. (Please note: There is an additional tuition charge for course loads over 4.5 course credits. This includes combining the credit load from both the day and WEC programs. Spring day term will include Winter WEC and Spring WEC.) Auditing classes over the 4.5 overload limit will also incur a tuition charge. Weekend College and Rochester Program students typically register for one or two course credits each trimester. Students registered for at least two course credits in one term are considered full time for that term. Students registered for one course credit are considered half-time for the term. Although new day students may register up to five days after the semester begins, registration is encouraged at the regularly scheduled time. Official academic calendars for all programs are available through the registrar’s Web page. Day students may add individual classes to their current schedule or withdraw without notation through day 10 of the term. The signature of the instructor is required to add a class after the fifth day. From day 11 through day 20, students may still petition the Committee on Student Standing for permission to add a class. There is a fee for this petition. Day 20 is the last day to petition for adding a class. Students registered for day program Time 1/Time 2 (T1/T2) courses that meet only part of the term may add or withdraw without notation through the fifth school day after the start of the course. Changing grade option or withdrawing with a W is allowed through the fourth week of T1/T2 classes. Specific dates for each term are listed under “Combined Academic Calendars” at <www.augsburg.edu/enroll/ registrar>. Weekend College students may add individual classes to their current schedule or withdraw without notation through Friday after the first class weekend. The signature of the instructor is required to add a class after the class meets.

Some late course registrations may be subject to additional late fees. ACTC school course listings are also available online and should be checked to verify the correct meeting times and room assignment. As some courses are offered only in alternate years, students should also consult with departmental advisers when planning their academic program. Summer session and graduate program courses are published in separate schedules. Specific information on registration and help with registration on other campuses are available from these offices: Enrollment Center—612-330-1046 Academic Advising—612-330-1025 Weekend College—612-330-1782 Crossover Registration Policy Every Augsburg undergraduate student is admitted to a “home program,” either day, Weekend College, or the Rochester Program. It is expected that students will complete most of their degree requirements through their home program. However, full-time students may register for up to 1.0 credits per term outside their home program. Enrollment will be based on class availability. Students will be charged the rate of their home program for courses in which they enroll outside their home program. The rate will be based on the maximum credit load they are carrying on any calendar date over the span of the two terms. For example, a day program student taking 2.0 credits in the day program, and 1.0 credits in the WEC program, will be considered full-time and will be charged the full-time day program tuition rate. A WEC student taking 2.0 credits in the WEC program, and 1.0 credits in the day program, will pay the WEC tuition rate x 3.0 credits. Day students taking over 4.5 credits will pay the day part time rate for any credits over 4.5 in their combined day/WEC load (Spring day term will include both Winter WEC and Spring WEC). The maximum number of credits that may be included in the day full-time tuition rate for students who cross-register is 4.5 . Students have registration priority in their home program. Crossover registration begins only after the open Web registration period closes for both programs. A schedule is published on the registrar’s office Web page. There is a special crossover registration form that must be processed at the Enrollment Center. This registration option is not available by Web. The WEC and Rochester programs are not part of the ACTC (Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities) tuition exchange program. WEC/Rochester students may NOT crossover to attend A C T C c o u r se s . Students must have completed their undergraduate degree and be admitted to a graduate program before taking graduate level courses from that program. (An exception is made for approved courses in the Department of Nursing and the joint B.A. Accounting/MAL.) Undergraduate students enrolled in graduate courses will pay the graduate rate for those courses. Any student enrolled in an Augsburg graduate level program wishing to take an undergraduate course will pay the rate of the program in which the course is offered (Day, WEC, or Rochester). Academic Information 73 Change of Program Withdrawal from College Students may apply to change their “home program” by filling out a Change of Program form available at the Enrollment Center. The change will take effect the following term. Changes are limited to one each academic year. Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this will result in a failing grade on their official academic record. Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from the College must be completed in the Enrollment Center. A Withdrawal from the College form may be obtained at the Enrollment Center or downloaded from the registrar’s Web page. The last day to file for a Withdrawal from College is the last day of classes prior to finals week. Withdrawal from college and any consequential adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the Withdrawal from College form is returned to the registrar’s office. Registration All day students are required to meet with their academic adviser prior to registration. Incoming freshmen and transfer students may register during summer for courses in the fall. All currently enrolled day students may register during the fall for the spring term and during the spring for the fall term. Weekend College and Rochester Program students may register during the designated time prior to the start of each term. The primary method of registration will be via the Web through AugNet during the open registration period. Please reference the academic calendar for specific dates. Day students will be able to register only after meeting with their faculty adviser. The Enrollment Center is also available to process registration forms. Note: Web registration may not recognize prerequisites fulfilled by transfer work. In these cases, please process your registration at the Enrollment Center. Once the open registration period ends, returning students registering for the first time for the coming term will be assessed a late registration fee. The Enrollment Center will process all registration forms after the Web closes. Students are responsible for keeping the registrar’s office informed of their current mailing address. Military Called to Active Duty Augsburg College will allow students to withdraw from courses without penalty if they are called to active duty as military reservists, National Guard, or for other military service. This shall include a 100% refund of tuition and fees upon verification of call to active duty. The student must provide a copy of orders. If the student is called to duty after the deadline to drop a course, the registrar will place a W for the course(s) along with a notation on the transcript that the student was called to active duty. This is to assist the student with any financial aid complications that may arise from a failure to note attendance on the transcript, and also indicate that the withdrawal was outside of the student’s control. Alternatively, the college supports faculty in enabling students who are called to active duty and have substantially complet- 74 Academic Information ed a course, to assign a grade based upon the coursework completed, or work out an “incomplete” agreement. Students who are able to complete some of their courses would have their refund adjusted to reflect this. Students who are being placed on active duty should contact the registrar and/or the Dean’s Office as soon as possible so the College can notify all parties and aid in this process. Student Standing Committee The Student Standing Committee deals with requests for minor exceptions to academic policies. Typically, the Committee reviews requests for: • Minor exceptions to academic requirements and/or approval of transfer course substitutions • Extending time for an incomplete • Permission to take a course overload • Student schedule changes after registration deadlines (adding, withdrawing, or grade option changes) Note: Petitions for an exception to published registration deadlines will require a $50 petition fee attached to the petition. This fee is non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the petition. Petitions involving adding or dropping courses/withdrawing from college after the deadline must be submitted within six months of the published registration deadlines for the term involved. In addition, the Committee reviews students’ transcripts in determining academic probation or dismissal from the College on academic grounds. The Committee also hears appeals from students who have been dismissed for academic reasons. The Committee reviews student requests for readmission to the College after dismissal or returning after leaving while on probation. The Committee typically meets every other week throughout the school year (September-April), and once a month during summer. Petition Process Step 1: Pick up a petition form at the Enrollment Center or download from the registrar’s Web page: <www.augsburg.edu/ enroll/registrar/index.html>. Step 2: Fill out the petition form completely. Include documentation for illness or family emergency. Have your adviser, instructor, or department chairs sign and add comments concerning your request. Petitions without comments from faculty will be returned for completion. Step 3: Return the completed petition form to the Office of the Registrar/ Enrollment Center, include signed drop/add form and $50 check if applicable. Step 4: After the committee meets, a copy of the petition with the committee’s decision is returned to the student. Day students will receive this notice in their campus box. WEC and Rochester student petitions will be mailed to their home address. Re-Admitted Students Former Augsburg students, re-admitted to complete a degree after being away from the College for at least one calendar year, have a choice between using the catalog in effect when they first enrolled, if possible, or using the catalog in effect at the point of re-admission. The election to complete a degree under a new catalog must be submitted in writing to the registrar’s office. Some departments will not accept course- Academic Information 75 work taken more than seven to ten years ago. Students must meet all of the requirements in effect under the catalog they choose. Choosing to complete graduation requirements under the current catalog will require re-evaluation of prior coursework, including transfer credit, to determine its applicability to the current catalog requirements. Students who graduated from Augsburg who are returning to complete a second major will not be awarded a second degree unless it is different from the original degree awarded. (B.A., B.M., B.S.) Minors are not noted on the transcript if they are completed after a baccalaureate degree has been awarded. Evaluation of Transfer Credit The evaluation of transfer credits is completed by the Office of the Registrar and is based on a student’s official transcripts. College credit is granted for liberal arts courses completed at regionally accredited institutions with a grade of 2.0/C or better. Augsburg does not grant credit for developmental courses, vocational-technical courses, or courses with grades below 2.0/C. The registrar’s office evaluates coursework for credit and for applicability toward Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements. Academic departments are responsible for evaluating the applicability of coursework toward a student’s major or minor. The College reserves the right to require that certain courses and a minimum number of courses be taken at Augsburg. (Refer to the Residence section on page 77) Additionally, major and minor departments may require certain courses or a minimum number of courses be taken at Augsburg. Augsburg operates on a course credit system rather than semester or quarter hours. Augsburg course credits are equiva- lent to four semester hours or six quarter hours. Transfer credits that have been reported to Augsburg as semester or quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by dividing by four or six respectively. Augsburg College limits transfer credit from two-year colleges. Students may transfer a maximum of 64 semester credits (96 quarter credits) from two-year colleges. Once a student reaches this credit limit, no additional credits will transfer from twoyear institutions toward the minimum number of course credits required for a baccalaureate degree. However, courses taken beyond the credit limit can be used to meet liberal arts and major requirements. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are reported on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Students should consult with their faculty adviser and the Office of the Registrar before taking courses at other institutions to ensure compliance with transfer credit policy and residency requirements. MnSCU Transfer Students Students transferring from the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system who have completed the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum, have earned the Associate of Arts degree from MnSCU, and have a 2.50 cumulative GPA (on a 4.0 scale) from the degree-granting institution will be given transfer status as outlined below: • Students will be granted 16 Augsburg course credits in transfer from two-year institutions. This will assure admission with junior standing. No additional credits will be accepted from two-year institutions. 76 Academic Information • The Augsburg Core Curriculum will be adjusted so students need only to complete the following: • REL 300 Bible, Christian Theology, and Vocation • One Augsburg Experience • Senior Keystone Course • Modern Language requirement (0-2 courses, depending on initial assessment) • Math Placement Group 3 (or MAT 105) • One course that fulfills the Graduation-level Quantitative Reasoning Skills requirement • One course that fulfills a Graduationlevel Writing Skills requirement • HPE 001 Foundations of Fitness or one HPE lifetime activity course (This requirement is waived for students who have transferred two equivalent courses.) *The A.A. degree and Minnesota Transfer Curriculum must be completed prior to enrolling at Augsburg in order to qualify for this transfer status. Note: Additional prerequisite coursework beyond the A.A. degree may be required in some Augsburg majors. Students are advised to consult an academic adviser in the major department to discuss major requirements. Courses with C – grades or below will not be accepted as prerequisites or for application to majors. Admission to a major — a separate process from admission to the College — is sometimes required. Please check with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and consult the departmental section of this catalog. Advanced Transfer Students Students who enter Augsburg with 13 or more course credits accepted in transfer are considered Advanced Transfer Students. The Augsburg Core Curriculum will be adjusted for advanced transfer students as outlined below: • Complete REL 300 Bible, Christian Theology, and Vocation instead of REL 100 & REL 200 • Waiver of Augsburg Seminar requirement • Waiver of Engaging Minneapolis • Waiver of the Entry-level Critical Thinking Assessment • Waiver of one Lifetime Fitness requirement (depending on transfer evaluation) • Waiver of one Graduation-level Writing Skills requirement All Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements not mentioned above remain unchanged for Advanced Transfer Students. A full description of these requirements is found on pages 78-84. *Waivers for Advanced Transfer are determined at the time of initial entry into Augsburg and will not be granted for courses completed after initial enrollment. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS. The responsibility for ensuring that all degree requirements are satisfied rests with the student. All students are required to file a graduation application with the registrar’s office one year prior to graduation. Faculty advisers, the Academic Advising staff, department chairs, and the registrar staff are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. Students who enter an academic program with a baccalaureate or higher degree should contact the Office of the Registrar about specific requirements for a second baccalaureate degree or for the equivalent Academic Information 77 of a major. See page 22 in the printed catalog in Undergraduate Admissions — Special Students (Second Degree). Each student is required to apply for graduation at the end of his or her junior year to confir m remaining graduation requirements. Application forms are available at the Enrollment Center or on the registrar’s Web page. All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the Office of the Registrar prior to the anticipated date of graduation.

Completion of the Augsburg Core Curriculum — Requirements for the Augsburg Core Curriculum are listed in the next section. 4. Grade Point Average — Students must earn a minimum overall grade point average of 2.00. Additionally, all majors and minors require at least a 2.00 grade point average in course work for the major or minor. Some majors, licensure, and certification programs require a higher grade point average or a minimum grade in each course. See the departmental section for details about the grade and grade point average for individual majors and minors. 5. Residence — The last year of fulltime study or equivalent (no fewer than seven of the last nine credits/requirements) must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved ACTC exchange program.

Consult the catalog description of the major/minor or the chairperson of the department. 78 Academic Information ■ THE AUGSBURG CORE CURRICULUM The Augsburg Core Curriculum is designed to prepare students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens through their engagement in a curriculum that: • Provides a liberal arts foundation and promotes the acquisition of intellectual and professional skills; • Calls for common inquiry into questions of Christian faith and the search for meaning; and • Cultivates the transformative discovery of, and appreciation for, the student’s place of leadership and service in a diverse world — vocatio and caritas. The curriculum has three major components: • The Augsburg Signature Curriculum • The Liberal Arts Foundation • Skills Requirements THE AUGSBURG SIGNATURE CURRICULUM Search for Meaning Augsburg’s Signature Curriculum is centered on its identity as a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. As a college of the Church, Augsburg accepts as a basis for its educational program the doctrines of the Christian faith as revealed in scripture and the creeds affirmed by the Lutheran Church. It consciously affirms that all students should reflect upon the Christian scriptures, theological concepts, ethical values, their own faith and values, and religious concepts outside of the Christian faith as part of becoming educated. In these courses students articulate and critically reflect upon Augsburg’s concept of vocation and its meaning; Christian theological concepts as well as concepts from other religious traditions; and the meaning of the Bible in Judeo-Christian thought, its cultural contexts, and concepts of human identity and vocation. Two Search for Meaning courses—REL 100 and REL 200—are required. The Augsburg First Year In order to help them make the transition to college and their new community, first-year weekday program students are required to take courses containing the following components: • Augsburg Seminar All students who enter the college as first-year students in the weekday schedule program must satisfactorily complete fall orientation and Augsburg Seminar, a firstyear learning community in their major or related area of academic interest. Each week Augburg Seminars devote an hour to topics relevant to an Augsburg education: becoming an intentional learner; making connections to the larger Augsburg learning community; and exploring strategies for success in the AugSem course(s) and future college work. • Engaging Minneapolis The Engaging Minneapolis requirement builds on Augsburg’s national leadership in experiential education as well as its commitment to its urban location. Students take one course that introduces them to the city as a resource for intentional learning, typically through civic engagement, cultural engagement, or service learning. Most Engaging Minneapolis courses also fulfill an Augsburg Core Curriculum or major requirement. They should be taken Academic Information 79 during the first year, but may be taken in the second year. • Many Voices Project Embedded in ENL 111, 112, and HON 111 (see core skills requirements), the Many Voices Project engages first-year students in discussion of a common text addressing themes of cultural diversity and global awareness. Emphasizing ways in which written communication can promote understanding and productive engagement among different cultures and points of view, The Many Voices Project is intended to teach skills and methods that promote successful communication between diverse writers and readers. Augsburg Experience All students must complete at least one approved Augsburg Experience as a requirement for graduation. Augsburg Experiences highlight the College’s commitment to experiential education and active participation in the broader community, both locally and globally. Five categories of approved experiential learning opportunities are recognized as Augsburg Experiences: internships, faculty-student research, community service, study abroad, and off-campus immersion experiences. An Augsburg Experience integrates experiential learning with academic learning. It demonstrates enhanced learning and reflects research and best practices in experiential education. Approved Augsburg Experiences meet two criteria: (1) Integrate experiential learning with academic learning and (2) Link on-campus learning to the goals, mission, needs, or ideas of off-campus people, organizations and/or communities, either through community partners, professional activities, and/or travel. Augsburg Experiences may be embedded in designated courses that are part of the regular class schedule or may be completed for zero credit outside of the regular class schedule. The length of time required, credit/no-credit status, and grading options for approved Augsburg Experiences will vary. Senior Keystone The Senior Keystone course provides a final opportunity for exploring the central themes of an Augsburg education — vocation and the search for meaning in a diverse and challenging world. Students will reflect upon the meaning of their educational experiences and consider issues of transition as they prepare for their lives after Augsburg. Most Keystone courses also meet major requirements. The Senior Keystone course in each department connects the broad liberal arts foundation with the professional skills and in-depth study of the major. It thus asks graduating students to think critically, reflectively, and ethically about their place in the world as leaders and servants. THE LIBERAL ARTS FOUNDATION The Liberal Arts Foundation courses introduce students to knowledge and modes of inquiry across a wide range of disciplines and subjects. The course offerings in the traditional liberal arts provide the opportunity for students to acquire a broad and solid foundation for their specialized study and professional preparation. Students choose two courses from two different departments in each domain. (Exceptions may be made for specially designed interdisciplinary Connections courses.) The list of courses meeting the Liberal Arts Foundation requirement is available online and from the registrar’s office. 80 Academic Information Natural Sciences and Mathematics Two courses from two different departments: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics. One must be a lab science course. Social and Behavioral Sciences Two courses from two different departments: Economics, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology Humanities Two courses from two different departments/programs: American Indian Studies, Communication Studies, English, History, Philosophy, Religion, Modern Languages (literature and culture courses), Women’s Studies Note: The signature Search for Meaning courses do not count as Humanities Liberal Arts Foundation requirements. Fine Arts Two courses or approved activities from two different departments: Art, Music, Theatre Arts. Participation in a music ensemble may be applied to this requirement. Four semesters of participation in the same ensemble — orchestra, concert band, or choir — fulfills one course requirement in the Fine Arts domain. SKILLS REQUIREMENTS Entry Level Skills Assessments There are entry level skills assessments in: • Critical Thinking • Mathematics • Writing Placement in writing, math, and critical thinking courses is determined by the assessments. These tests are a prerequisite for (not completion of) core and graduation skills course requirements. • Critical Thinking Assessment and Requirement Students who have college credit for a critical thinking or logic course are exempt from the critical thinking assessment. Students who do not achieve the minimum entry score on the placement exam are required to take GST 100 Critical Thinking. • Mathematics Assessment and Requirement All students are required to have their math placement group (MPG) determined. In some cases, students who have transferred a mathematics course taken at another college may have their MPG determined by the registrar’s office. All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Exam, which is administered by Academic Advising. The exam is given during college registration sessions and at other announced times during the year. Practice questions and other information are available from Academic Advising. Based on the math assessment result, students will be enrolled in the appropriate courses or advised on preparation for retaking the math placement exam. Students may retake the Math Placement Exam once during their first term of enrollment. Students are required to take the Math Placement Exam before registering for the first term and should achieve MPG 3 by the end of their first year at Augsburg. Academic Information 81 Students in MPG 1 must take MAT 103 to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 must take MAT 105 to advance to MPG 3. Students in MPG 3 must take MAT 114 to advance to MPG 4. No other MAT course changes a student’s MPG. A grade of Pass or 2.0 or higher is required to advance to the next math level. Students are encouraged to advance their MPG as soon as possible. Students must achieve Math Placement Group (MPG) 3 or higher to graduate. In addition, many courses require MPG 2, 3, or 4 as a prerequisite. • Writing Assessment and Requirement This entry level assessment determines readiness for ENL 111 or 112. Students who do not place highly enough on the entry level assessment will be required to take ENL 101 Developmental Writing before ENL 111. Students who have transferred in a course equivalent to ENL 111 are excused from the entry level exam. Students entering Weekend College or the Rochester Program do not take the Writing Assessment. Core Skills Requirements • Effective Writing ENL 111 Effective Writing or the equivalent with a grade of 2.0, P, or higher, is required. Attendance the first day of class is required. Students should complete Effective Writing by the middle of their sophomore year since it is a prerequisite for Writing Graduation Skill courses. • Modern Language For students who have not previously studied a modern language, completion of a two-course sequence in the same language with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P in both courses is required. The BYU-CAPE language assessment is offered to students who have had at least one year of study of French, German, or Spanish language in high school. For a language previously studied, successful completion (minimum grade of 2.0 or P) of one language course at your placement level (112 or higher) satisfies the requirement. Students whose placement test is at 311 or higher will be exempted from further language study. Modern language courses accepted in transfer may be applicable to this skills area for partial or full completion of the requirement. Students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by passing an approved course sequence will have fulfilled the Modern Language Core Skill. Students whose first language is not English and whose score is below the minimum on the ELL placement test must fulfill the English Language Learners (ELL) requirement. The requirement is satisfied by successfully completing the ELL course(s) and achieving a score above the minimum on the ELL placement exam. Students who complete the ELL requirement fulfill the Modern Language Core Skill requirement. Contact Academic Advising or the English Department for additional information. More information about English Language Learners is found on page 88. 82 Academic Information CHECKLIST AND SUMMARY OF GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS. FOR GRADUATION. This quick reference checklist is an abbreviated version of the requirements for graduation. As a summary, it is not comprehensive and cannot substitute fully for the complete degree requirements that begin on page 76.

All students are required to file a graduation application with the Office of the Registrar one year prior to graduation. 84 Academic Information • Lifetime Fitness Two lifetime fitness courses are required. HPE 001 Foundations of Fitness is required of all students. The second course may be chosen from a variety of different lifetime activities (HPE 002, 003 Lifetime Activity courses). Students may test out of the second activity course by demonstrating proficiency from a selected lifetime activity. Proficiency exams are offered through the Health and Physical Education department each semester. There is a fee to take the lifetime activity proficiency test. Intercollegiate athletes and Health and Physical Education majors may not test out of this requirement. Foundations of Fitness and Lifetime Activity courses are non-credit courses and are not included in the 32-course graduation requirement. Graduation Skills Requirements An Augsburg education includes enhancement of certain skills during the years in college. Critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, speaking, and writing skills are deliberate components of certain courses. Students are required to have one course each with Critical Thinking, Quantitative Reasoning, and Speaking skill components, and two courses with a Writing Skill component. These requirements are modified for advanced transfer students (see pages 76, 82-83). A minimum grade of 2.0 or P is required to satisfy a graduation skill requirement. Graduation skill requirements typically are embedded in required courses in the major. Some departments, however, designate courses outside the major or elective courses in the major that fulfill this requirement. Academic advisers will provide a list of these courses. All Writing Skill courses have the prerequisite of ENL 111 or its equivalent. All Quantitative Reasoning Skill courses have the prerequisite of Math Placement Group 3, and all Critical Thinking Skill courses have the prerequisite of passing the entry level Critical Thinking Assessment or GST 100. Core Curriculum Modifications Some majors that result in a Bachelor of Science degree give students the ability to modify their Core Curriculum requirements in one of the following ways. 1. Bachelor of Science/Liberal Ar ts Foundation (LAF) Waiver. Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver must complete at least six of the eight LAF requirements, provided at least one course is taken in each of the four domains. (e.g., two Natural Science and Mathematics courses, two Social and Behavioral Science courses, one Fine Arts course, and one Humanities course) The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver: • Biology • Chemistry • Clinical Laboratory Science • Elementary Education • Health Education (teaching licensure only) • Mathematics • Music Therapy • Nursing • Physical Education (teaching licensure only) • Physics 2. Bachelor of Science/Moder n Language Waiver. Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver are not required to complete modern language courses as part of their degree. The following majors are approved Academic Information 85 for the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver: • Biology • Chemistry • Clinical Laboratory Science • Mathematics • Music Therapy • Nursing • Physics EVALUATION AND GRADING ■ EXPLANATION OF GRADES The official delivery of end-of-term grades to students is online via the AugNet Records and Registration website. Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation. Most courses are offered with grading options—traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for Latin Honors. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. • To be eligible for graduation with Latin Honors, students may elect only 2 P/N credits. • See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements, page 77. Certain courses have restrictions and are offered on one grading system only (e.g., lifetime activities are graded only P/N). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made according to dates published each term. Numeric Grades Numeric grades are used with these definitions: 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 Pass/No Credit 3.0 Students who choose the P/N option are cautioned: 2.5 • In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. 2.0 • Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a C. 1.5 • Maximum number of course credits taken P/N that may be applied to graduation is six course credits with a grade of Pass (P). 0.5 • P-graded courses do not count 1.0 0.0 Achieves above basic course standards Meets basic standards for the course Performance below basic course standards Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are 86 Academic Information not computed in the grade point average. completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned. An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade Form with the Office of the Registrar that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term 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. A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a notation on the record. 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 Repeated Courses A course in which a grade of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken 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. Auditing Courses Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time day students will be charged an audit fee if their total credit load is over 4.5 credits. The charge for part-time and Weekend College students is listed under Weekend College Costs in the Financing Your Education section on page 24. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Audited courses do not count toward graduation and do not fulfill general education requirements. Grade Point Average Academic Information 87 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.* *Courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned Classification Students are classified when grades are posted at the end of each term. Classification is based on the number of course credits completed. • Sophomores—7 completed course credits. • Juniors—16 completed course credits. • Seniors—24 completed course credits. ■ ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that comprise the academic program of a liberal arts college. The Assessment of Previous Learning program (APL) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student’s previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a baccalaureate degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum, and (2) it can be objectively demon- strated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: International Baccalaureate Program (IB)—Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate program will be considered by the College for advanced placement and appropriate credit. Credit granting guidelines are available in the registrar’s office. Advanced Placement Program (AP)—Augsburg allows students to earn credit for scores of 3, 4, or 5 on selected Advanced Placement tests. For some exams, a minimum score of 4 is required. Inquiries should be addressed to the Office of the Registrar. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)—This is a series of standardized tests that have been developed by the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. Students who score at or above the American Council on Education’s recommended score on an approved examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Information about CLEP tests is available from the Office of the Registrar. Departmental Comprehensive Exams—These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: • There is a departmental exam available for the subject area in question. 88 Academic Information • There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. • The registrar approves the student’s request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a P/N basis only, and there is a charge per exam of $400 for a full course credit. The Portfolio Assessment Program—This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student’s previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the Office of the Registrar. In completing the evaluation of a student’s previous learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria: • There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts coursework. • The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. • The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. • The learning relates well to the student’s educational goals. • The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least four credits of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.50. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is a non-refundable application deposit of $200 to initiate the credit assessment process for each course presented in a portfolio. An additional $200 is charged upon approval of each course. Credit is available on a P/N credit basis only. Transcript credit will be recorded with the equivalent Augsburg course numbers as determined by faculty reviewers. Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning—While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campusbased liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg allows a maximum of eight credits (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) to be obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the eight credits for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the five assessment processes available in the APL Program: AP exams, CLEP exams, IB exams, departmental comprehensive exams, and credit granted through portfolio assessment. English Language Learners (ELL) Students whose primary language spoken at home is not English must take the ELL placement test in conjunction with the English writing placement test prior to registering for their first term at Augsburg. Students’ placement in ELL, ENL 101 Developmental Writing, or ENL 111, HON 111, or ENL 112 Effective Writing will be determined by their scores on the Michigan test (85-100 range for exemption from ELL courses) and by a writing sample. Near the end of each term of the English Language Learner’s course, an objective test will be administered to all Academic Information 89 students in the class. The score on this test and the grade earned in the class will determine whether additional ELL coursework is required. Usually a score of 85 to 100 and a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will fulfill the student’s ELL requirement. All students whose native language is not English must stay enrolled in ENL 217/218 until such time that they pass the ELL placement test at 85 percent or higher. The ELL course can be counted only twice in the total number of courses required for graduation. Students who fulfill the ELL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the Modern Language Core Skill requirement for graduation. ■ ACADEMIC PROGRESS, PROBATION, AND DISMISSAL The College requires that all students maintain a 2.00 cumulative grade point average (GPA). It should be noted that a minimum GPA of 2.00 is required for graduation, with certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA. Students whose overall academic achievement falls below a 2.00 GPA will either be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term or will be continued on probation or will be dismissed from the College. In addition, a freshman who receives two zero grades or a sophomore, junior, or senior who receives three zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Student Standing Committee. Evidence of the student’s commitment to academic progress is the primary consideration in deciding whether or not to dismiss a student. Students who have a poor academic record may be strongly advised to withdraw before the end of a term. Those on probation who voluntarily withdraw from the College, as well as those who are dismissed, must have special permission from the Student Standing Committee to re-enroll. Students who have been dismissed may apply for readmission after one year, at which time the Student Standing Committee will review the application for readmission accompanied by any statements and evidence attesting to his or her commitment to academic success. Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches 2.00. Students placed on probation as freshmen for having earned two zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earned additional zero grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 2.00. Students placed on probation as sophomores for having earned three zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative GPA reaches 2.00. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he or she may appeal the decision within 10 days to the Committee on Student Standing. Dean’s List The Dean’s List, compiled after each semester, lists undergraduate students whose grade point average for a semester is 3.50 or better. Students must be full-time students (a minimum equivalent of three full course credits for a weekday schedule student or two equivalent full course credits for a Weekend College student), graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. Courses taken outside of a program’s calen- 90 Academic Information dar (e.g., crossover courses taken in a Weekend College trimester term by a day student or in a semester term by a weekend student) are not calculated when determining the Dean’s List. If permission is given by the student, an announcement is sent to the hometown newspaper of each student on the Dean’s List. Latin Honors Augsburg recognizes those students who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement by conferring Latin honors upon completion of a baccalaureate degree. This designation and the standards set are in effect for all students who complete degree requirements in May 2004 or later. Latin honors replaces the previous honors designation of “With Distinction.” Students may also receive honors recognition for departmental honors and for participation in the honors program. (See individual department and program descriptions for details.) Qualification for Latin honors is determined as follows: Summa cum laude: 3.90-4.00 GPA plus successful completion of the summa oral examination Magna cum laude: 3.80-3.89 GPA Cum laude: 3.60-3.79 GPA To be eligible, a student must complete a minimum of fourteen traditionally graded credits at Augsburg and have no more than two elective pass/no pass graded credits at Augsburg (classes offered only as P/N by the department will not be counted, nor will “N” grades). For additional information, including the guidelines for the Summa Cum Laude oral examination, go to the Latin Honors section at <www.augsburg.edu/enroll/ registrar>. Qualification for Commencement Augsburg College has one commencement ceremony per academic year in the month of May. Undergraduate students who will not have met degree requirements by the end of the spring term may qualify to participate in commencement if: (1) no more than three course credits/requirements will remain in their program at the end of the spring term, and (2) the remaining requirements will be completed in the summer or fall terms following participation in commencement. A student will not graduate nor will a degree be conferred until all graduation requirements are met, regardless of participation in commencement. Enrollment/Degree Verification Augsburg College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as its agent for verification of student enrollment and degree status. Contact information is as follows: National Student Clearinghouse 13454 Sunrise Valley Road, Suite 300 Herndon, VA 20171 Web: www.degreeverify.org Phone: 703-742-4200 Fax: 703-742-4239 E-mail: degreeverify@studentclearing house.org Academic Information 91 Veterans of Military Service Augsburg is approved by the state approving agency for Veterans Education. Veterans should consult with the Enrollment Center about completion of enrollment verification and the forwarding of other information to the Veterans Administration.

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. Your request should be submitted in writing at least one week prior to the date you wish to review your records. 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 exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with 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 agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees, 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. 92 Academic Information “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; • The weight and height of members of athletic teams; • The student’s dates of attendance; • The most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student; and • 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 Office of the Registrar must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory Information. If the notice is not received by the registrar prior to Sept. 15 (or within 10 school days of the start of a subsequent term for a new student), it will be assumed that all Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder of the current academic year. A new notice for withholding disclosure must be completed each academic year. Right to complain to FERPA Office—You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. S.W., Washington, D.C., 20202-4605, 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. Departments and Programs Course Descriptions with Major and Minor Requirements – 94 Department majors and programs are listed alphabetically. Also see index. 94 DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS A s a liberal arts institution, Augsburg College believes that knowledge and truth are interrelated and are integrated into a whole. The tradition of the academic world, however, divides this unified truth into more manageable parts: the academic disciplines. The knowledge of individual disciplines is subdivided into courses that make it more accessible to students. These courses can be arranged in various ways to construct majors, to create the substance of a broad general education, and to give students the opportunity to study areas of particular individual interest. COURSE DESCRIPTIONS. Descriptions of courses are arranged by departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus containing a more detailed explanation of content, approach, requirements, and evaluations for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor. Department entries also contain a narrative discussion of the educational philosophy of each department, its goals, and its place in the College’s program. A listing of requirements for individual majors and minors follows the narrative. Weekend College classes are published each spring in a separate booklet and online. Since some courses are offered alternate years, it is important that the student review major requirements and course offerings with an adviser to ensure that all requirements can be met. Descriptions and schedules for Summer Session, the Master of Arts in Education, Master of Arts in Leadership, Master of Arts in Nursing, Master of Business Administration, Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, and Master of Social Work courses are published in separate catalogs. Credits A full course is offered for one course credit. A few fractional courses, for onehalf or one-quarter course credit, are offered. Unless noted, all courses are one course credit. A full course is valued as four semester credits or six quarter hours. Most day program courses meet for three 60-minute periods or two 90-minute periods per week with additional time required for laboratory work. All full credit Weekend College courses meet for eight three-and-one-half-hour sessions during fall and for seven four-hour sessions during winter and spring term. Numbering Class Schedule Courses listed are subject to change. In general, classes are offered fall and/or spring terms unless otherwise indicated. The schedule of classes offered through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) for fall and spring terms is only available online. Courses numbered below 300 are lower division courses. Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as upper division. In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for freshmen, 200s for sophomores, 300s for juniors, and 400s for seniors. Departments and Programs 95 Prerequisites ■ INTERNSHIPS Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are listed in the course description as prerequisites. A student may enroll in a course when a prerequisite has not been fulfilled if there is prior approval by the professor teaching the course. Some prerequisites (such as ENL 111, math placement, and critical thinking) cannot be waived by the instructor. Registration for internships consists of the following steps: NOTE: Not all courses are offered in all schedules.

It teaches us to see, claim beauty, make sense of pain, explore the world, and express ourselves. At Augsburg College, inspiration and creativity grow from the diversity of ideas experienced on a small campus in the heart of a major metropolitan area. We balance a solid foundation of drawing, design, and history with technical skills, critical thinking, and creative exploration in a range of media. On-campus galleries showcase the work of students as well as established artists. An innovative faculty pairs creative curriculum for traditional disciplines in drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, and photography with emerging disciplines in hand papermaking, book arts, architecture, and digital media. Class sizes are small; we will get to know each other. Galleries and museums surround us; art club, studio visits, and guest artists provide art in real time; service learning, internships, and study abroad are integral to our program. We reach an average of 700 students a year from all disciplines, graduating 25-30 majors annually with B.A. degrees in art history, studio art, art education; and certificates in studio art and graphic design. For 40 years, students have been earning degrees in art and art history at Augsburg College. We’re excited to be here in the center of the city. We think you will be too.

BIOLOGY—BIO B iology is the study of life, and it is natural that we, as contemplative living creatures, seek a deeper understanding of the living world that envelops us. This search has led to the realization that the Earth is filled with an enormous variety of living organisms. Since humans are a part of the biological world, an understanding of the basic biological processes common to all organisms is essential to attain selfunderstanding and to provide a basis for wise decisions. In recent decades great strides have been made in understanding important biological processes, particularly those at the cellular, molecular, and ecosystem levels. Biological research has also provided some extremely important benefits to humans, including advances in medicine, agriculture, and food science. An understanding of biological systems depends, in part, on the principles of physics and chemistry; thus a firm background in the physical sciences is also important in the study of biology. For many, an undergraduate major in biology serves as a basis for further study. Augsburg graduates have gone on to graduate studies in the life sciences, leading to careers in college or university teaching, basic and applied research, and public health. Many have entered professional programs in medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. Other graduates have gone directly into secondary education, biomedical industries, laboratory research, natural resources, and environmental education.

Chemistry has been described as the central science because matter includes the entire physical world, such as the things we use, the food we eat, and even ourselves. Correlating the insights of chemistry with physics, mathematics, and molecular biology opens vistas that excite and offer opportunities to better the entire world. Chemists as scientists must be knowledgeable in fact and theory for solving scientific problems and also capable of providing a public understanding of their work, including potential problems as well as benefits. Chemists as people must be broadly educated in order to understand themselves and their society. The liberal arts as offered in the general education curriculum is imperative if a chemist is to be both truly human and truly scientific. The department is on the list of approved schools of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and offers a chemistry major that meets the chemistry background required by many fields. Consonant with these ideas, the Department of Chemistry has established the following objectives to help its students develop into mature scientists: •To provide a course of study of sufficient rigor and depth to enable our graduates who complete our ACS chemistry major to compete successfully with their peers of similar ability in graduate school or research positions. •To provide programs of study for professional goals in addition to the traditional positions as chemists. 129 •To provide an atmosphere of learning so that students will want to remain lifelong learners, thereby remaining competent in their field, however that may change after graduation, and be able to move into new areas as opportunities arise. •To encourage students to take a broad view of their education and to integrate outside study areas with the sciences. •To present the excitement of chemistry to non-science majors as an example of the methodology of the natural sciences in examining the world around us. The presentation of major concepts underlying the changes in matter, the opportunity to examine change in the physical world, and the reflection of the implications and limitations of science in our society will enhance the ability of non-science persons to make better value judgments concerning science questions in their own endeavors.

(Prereq.: junior or senior standing) CLINICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE—CLS C linical laboratory scientists perform complex biological, microbiological, and chemical tests on patient samples. They also use, maintain, and troubleshoot sophisticated laboratory equipment in the performance of diagnostic tests. The clinical laboratory scientist analyzes these test results and discusses them with the medical staff. He/she also possesses the skills required for molecular diagnostic tests based on DNA and RNA technologies. In addition, the clinical laboratory scientist will find opportunities in test development, experimental design, administration, and education. The curriculum requires a minimum of six semesters on campus to complete the pre-requisite curriculum. Students spend an additional 12 months of clinical education in a hospital-sponsored, accredited program during their senior year. A bachelor of science degree is awarded at the satisfactory completion of all required course work. Admission to the clinical laboratory science major is on a competitive basis. Students apply for admission to the clinical laboratory science program early in the fall semester of the academic year just prior to the beginning of their professional studies, typically in the junior year. Formal acceptance into the hospital-sponsored program is based on the submission of an application for admission to the major, personal recommendations, review of academic performance, and interview with the Program Admission Committee. A minimum grade point average of 2.75 overall as well as in science and mathematics courses is strongly recommended. Acceptance into the hospital program is not guaranteed by the College. The hospital program affiliated with Augsburg is the Fairview Health Services. The program is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS), 8410 W.

Students who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to continue their education in a variety of fields or to work successfully in business and government because of the strong liberal arts emphasis within the major. The department offers five majors. The economics major and the applied economics majors lead to careers in the business world or government. Computational economics provides a liberal arts entry into the field of computer science. The combined economics/business administration major allows students great flexibility in order to explore both fields. Finally, the teaching major in political science/economics allows secondary education licensure students to obtain a solid background for teaching economics. The study of economics provides a firm foundation for confronting change because it presents a disciplined way to analyze and make choices. An economics major prepares students for community leadership and leads to a great diversity of career opportunities including law, teaching, journalism, private and public international service. Pre-law and potential Master of Business Administration students are especially encouraged to consider economics as a major or a minor. Students are able to combine an economics major with other disciplines such as business administration, international relations, mathematics, management information systems, political science, history, and area study programs. Students who are interested in any type of quantitatively oriented graduate program in economics or in business are encouraged to either major or minor in mathematics. These students should also take courses in computer science. Consult an adviser for specific course suggestions. Internships are recommended. Students must consult with the department chair and the internship office before registering for academic credit. Note: Transfer students must complete at least three upper division economics courses for a major and two for a minor. Transfer classes must have been completed in the last 10 years with at least a 2.0 grade. Economics Faculty Jeanne Boeh (Chair), Keith Gilsdorf, Stella Hofrenning DEGREE AND MAJOR REQUIREMENTS.

ENGINEERING A ugsburg College has cooperative arrangements with two universities to allow students to earn a bachelor of arts degree from Augsburg College and an engineering degree from either the University of Minnesota Institute of Technology, Minneapolis; or Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan. Because of the special requirements and opportunities of these programs, early consultation with the Augsburg engineering adviser is necessary. Applications for these programs require the recommendation of the Augsburg engineering adviser. Contact Jeff Johnson, Physics Department, 612-330-1070. University of Minnesota The Institute of Technology and Augsburg cooperative arrangement provides for two dual degree engineering programs: Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Engineering (B.A./B.E.) enables students to receive a bachelor of arts degree from Augsburg College and a bachelor of engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. The program typically involves three years at Augsburg and two years at the Institute of Technology. Students may apply for the program after completing the sophomore year. At that time, they will be informed of their status in the program and any further conditions necessary for final acceptance into the program. Formal application to the Institute of Technology may be completed during the second semester of the junior 169 year at Augsburg. Bachelor of Arts/Master of Engineering (B.A./M.E.) enables students to receive a bachelor of arts degree from Augsburg College and a master of engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. This program involves four years at Augsburg and, typically, two years at the Institute of Technology. The curriculum is the same as the B.A./B.E. curriculum with the addition of several extra courses that are completed at Augsburg during the senior year to minimize the number of undergraduate courses, if any, that students must take at the university before proceeding through the graduate curriculum. The number of such courses varies by IT department and area of emphasis within a department. Application for admission into the B.A./M.E. program should be initiated during the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Formal application for the program may be completed during the senior year. Those admitted will receive special counseling from the Institute of Technology staff regarding courses that should be taken during the senior year at Augsburg. Participants in the B.A./M.E. program are not guaranteed admission to the Institute of Technology. 170 Engineering Michigan Technological University This program enables students to receive a bachelor of arts degree from Augsburg and a bachelor of engineering degree from Michigan Technological University in a five-year period. The first three years are spent at Augsburg followed by two years at the affiliated university. Students accepted into the program will be considered for admission to the engineering school if they complete course requirements, have the requisite cumulative grade point average, and are recommended by the engineering adviser of Augsburg College. Students are also encouraged to explore opportunities for graduate work at Michigan Technological University. Further information on these and other graduate programs is available from the Augsburg engineering adviser.

ENGLISH—ENL T hose who study English believe that an intense concern for words, ideas, and images helps people understand who they are and who they can become. Writing helps all of us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through the study of English we see life’s complexity, experience life as others do, and better understand the world in which we live and work. English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the contemplation of works of art. With psychology and sociology, English is concerned with individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering order and determining structures. With speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and in various cultures. The Augsburg Department of English integrates its program with the cultural opportunities of this vital urban area. Augsburg students can walk to assigned or recommended plays, films, and readings available near the campus. English majors have the opportunity to use and refine their skills through working in internships on and off campus, tutoring English Language Learners (ELL) students, or tutoring in the writing lab. Students with an Augsburg English major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism, government, law, the ministry, library sci- 171 ence, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions and businesses.

Choosing a Concentration The English Literature, Language, and Theor y concentration provides students various approaches to the life-enhancing study of the written word and visual text. Spotlight courses focus on specific authors, genres, or themes, and provoke discovery of new literary experiences. Courses in African American, Native American, Asian American, and post colonial literatures reconfigure the nature of traditional literary studies. Survey courses in English, American, and World literatures are organized by historical periods and provide a classically structured framework of study. Courses in literary theory demand the intense and intellectually challenging engagement of text, culture, and self. While some of our courses foreground theoretical approaches to literature and deeply examine race, class, and gender in the consideration of their subject matter, all of our courses infuse these concerns into their engagement with primary works of fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, film, and drama. All literature classes involve students in dynamic and enjoyable literary examina- 172 English tion, and are taught by professors who love teaching and who love literature. Our classes develop and demand the skills of aesthetic receptivity, perceptive and critical reading, open and clear speaking, and analytical and engaging writing — skills of the educated and employable citizen. The literature, language, and theory concentration offers courses of study crosslisted with American Indian Studies, Art, Communication Studies, Film, Theatre Arts, and Women’s Studies. The English Writing concentration is for students who intend to develop professional skills in either Creative or Media Writing. Over the course of their study, students will master terminology; understand historical, legal, and ethical issues relevant to the field; and study the works of established writers and professionals. The writing major emphasizes expanding competencies in observation, research, and analysis that enable writers to gather material from a variety of sources and perspectives for their work. Writing majors will understand the interdisciplinary demands inherent in creative and media writing (including issues of design) and will enhance their appreciation of the aesthetic possibilities inherent in the writing life. Writing courses are taught by dedicated professors who are practicing writers themselves. The writing concentration offers courses of study cross-listed with Art, Communication Studies, and Theater Arts. The Communication Ar ts/Literature Teacher Licensure Major is for students who seek to be licensed to teach in Minnesota in Communication Arts/Literature. Students are encouraged to take courses toward their major during the freshman and sophomore years, and to apply for the education licensure program no later than the spring of their junior year. Students in both programs must work with advisers in the English department and the education department in order to meet the professional requirements within the education department as well as the requirements for the major. Should licensure not be possible, graduation can be achieved through an English major, which requires at least two additional, specific courses, or through a Communication Studies major.

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

Mathematical language describes our world from the perspectives of the natural, physical, and social sciences. Engaging in mathematical thinking helps strengthen the problem solving and quantitative reasoning skills that are increasingly expected of every member of contemporary society. Moreover, as mathematics has had a formative impact on the development of civilization, it is an important part of a liberal arts education. Students majoring in mathematics acquire the skills necessary to serve society through a variety of careers. In addition to acquiring computational and problem solving skills, mathematics majors at Augsburg develop their abilities to reason abstractly; to conjecture, critique, and justify their assertions; to formulate questions; to investigate open-ended problems; to read and comprehend precise mathematical writing; to speak and write about mathematical ideas; and to experience working in teams on mathematical projects. Students can prepare for graduate school, for work in business, industry, or non-profit organizations, or for teaching mathematics in grades K-12. Students majoring in many disciplines find it helpful to acquire a minor or a second major in mathematics. Students may choose coursework supporting the study of mathematics as a liberal art, its applications to science and engineering, its applications to actuarial science, computing, or economics, or in preparation to teach. Augsburg’s urban location allows students to gain experience working with mathematics through internships, cooperative education, and the practicum and colloquium courses. 219 Mathematics Faculty Matthew Haines (Chair), Tracy Bibelnieks, Suzanne Dorée, Rebekah Dupont, Kenneth Kaminsky, Jody Sorensen DEGREE AND MAJOR REQUIREMENTS.

MEDIEVAL STUDIES T he objective of Medieval Studies is to introduce students to the culture of the Middle Ages — its diverse history and beliefs, its arts and literature — and to the disciplinary and interdisciplinary skills necessary for its serious study. The major in Medieval Studies fulfills the original (medieval) ideal of a liberal arts education. Since the study of the liberal arts was developed in the Middle Ages, students majoring in Medieval Studies find a model context for the pursuit of a liberal arts degree in the modern world. As was the case in medieval universities, Augsburg’s major in Medieval Studies prepares students for life beyond college. Because of its emphasis on precise reading and analysis of texts, careful writing, and spirited discussion, the major in Medieval Studies offers a solid foundation for graduate or professional study, as well as employment opportunities that require abilities in communication, critical and abstract thinking, and processing information. Medieval Studies Faculty Phillip C. Adamo (History, Program Coordinator), Kristin M. Anderson (Art), Mark L. Fuehrer (Philosophy), Douglas E. Green (English), Joan L. Griffin (English), Martha B. Johnson (Theatre Arts), Merilee I. Klemp (Music), Philip A. Quanbeck II (Religion), Bruce R. Reichenbach (Philosophy), Mark D. Tranvik (Religion) DEGREE AND MAJOR REQUIREMENTS.

Prior approval of advisor is required for all Augsburg Experiences related to Medieval Studies. COURSES. HUM 120 Medieval Life in 12th-century Europe (Medieval Connections) This is the introductory course for Medieval Studies. It uses an interdisciplinary approach to study European culture during a period known as the High Middle Ages, roughly AD 1100 to 1300. It attempts to examine medieval culture as a complex system of thought and feeling, which includes history, religion, philosophy, literature, art, theatre, music, and food. It also takes an experiential approach to this material, for example, by having students and faculty attend class in academic regalia, just as they did in medieval universities.

SEE HECUA UNDER INTERNATIONAL STUDIES 230 MODERN LANGUAGES T he Department of Modern Languages at Augsburg College contributes in many ways to realizing the College’s mission of providing liberal arts education for service in today’s world. The department is committed to the view that education should go beyond career preparation and that familiarity with the language and culture of another people is an essential step in the development of a truly global perspective. The modern languages department offers language, literature, and culture courses leading to majors in French, German, Norwegian, and Spanish. Introductory courses in Ojibwe and American Sign Language are offered at Augsburg, and courses in Chinese, Japanese, Latin, and Greek are available to Augsburg students through the College’s affiliation with ACTC, a consortium of Twin Cities colleges. Knowledge of several languages, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, is essential in preparing for careers in second-language education and translation, but also represents a valuable special qualification in many other professions. Students anticipating careers in international business, social work, the diplomatic corps, the health professions, or the ministry may wish to take a second major or minor in modern languages. In addition, a minor in languages or linguistics is a valuable research tool for those intending to pursue graduate study in most academic disciplines. Modern Languages Faculty Mary Kingsley (Chair), Molly Enz, Pary Pezechkian-Weinberg, Susana Sandmann, Frankie Shackelford, Donald Steinmetz DEGREE AND MAJOR REQUIREMENTS. Major The major consists of nine courses above 211 (Norwegian only: 211 and above), including two courses in culture, two courses in language, two courses in literature, and three electives (from any of the three areas above). At least seven of these courses must be taught in the target language of the major and at least four of them must be taken on the Augsburg campus. Minor The minor consists of four courses above 211 (Norwegian only: 211 and above), including one in language and one in literature or culture. At least three of these courses must be taught in the target language, and at least two of them must be taken on the Augsburg campus. OTHER REQUIREMENTS. Departmental Honors Majors seeking graduation with departmental honors must apply in the junior year. Requirements: 3.50 GPA in the major, 3.50 GPA overall, and honors thesis. Prerequisite A prerequiste must be completed with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P. Transfer Students Transfer students intending to major or minor in languages must take a minimum of one upper division course per year at Augsburg. See major/minor above for limits on non-Augsburg courses. Courses accepted for transfer must have been taken within the past seven years. Modern Languages 231 Study Abroad Teaching Licensure A semester of study abroad is required for majors and some study abroad is strongly recommended for minors. An advanced-level internship in the major language (399) or an interdisciplinary internship (INS 199), linking language skills with community service and career exploration, is strongly encouraged. Since spring term 2001, Augsburg College no longer offers a licensure program in modern languages.

The scope of nursing practice is changing and expanding; nurses practice in hospitals, clinics, corporations, parishes, government agencies, schools, and community organizations, or in their own private practices. Wherever they work, nurses provide comprehensive health care for persons, groups, and communities of diverse cultures and socioeconomic levels throughout the life span. The bachelor’s degree equips nurses to synthesize knowledge from the liberal arts with the art and science of nursing. The nursing program at Augsburg also provides educational opportunities to increase skills in critical thinking, clinical investigation, and decision-making in preparation for challenging new nursing positions in emerging care systems. Augsburg’s nursing program, which leads to a bachelor of science degree with a major in nursing, is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for a public health nurse registration certificate through the Minnesota State Board of Nursing.

This may include graduation from a school of nursing, work experience, completion of a nursing refresher course, or an acceptable equivalent. 5. Applicants must have their own malpractice insurance and an updated immunization record. Options for Completing the Degree Augsburg recognizes that nurses have a variety of time schedules, personal responsibilities, and work demands that must be taken into account in any decision to work toward a college degree. For this reason, Augsburg offers full- and part-time sequential alternatives for pursuing a BSN. Nursing courses at Augsburg are available evenings and weekends through Weekend College. Nursing classes usually meet on alternate weekday evenings for one three-and-one-half-hour time block. Clinical practicum requirements usually occur on weekdays. It is recommended that most liberal arts courses be taken before starting the nursing major. Nursing majors can complete courses toward the baccalaureate at the Minneapolis campus; at United, Mercy, Unity and Children’s Hospitals in St. Paul, Coon Rapids, and Fridley, MN; and in Rochester, MN.

There is a fee to audit courses. * This course involves an additional clinical tuition and clinical practicum hours. PHILOSOPHY—PHI P hilosophy is in an important sense the most fundamental of the disciplines. All of the sciences and most other disciplines arose out of it. Moreover, it is concerned with asking and answering the “big” questions that are the most basic. For example, Is there a God? Is there life after death? Are there absolute moral standards? What kind of life is the best? What is knowledge and what are its sources? Students learn to ask and answer these and other similar questions for themselves through the development and use of critical reasoning, assisted by the study of philosophers from the past and present. The philosophy major has been carefully planned so that students can easily graduate with two majors. Some majors continue on to graduate school in philosophy, while others use the major to prepare for other professional studies such as law, medicine, the Christian ministry, or journalism. Philosophy Faculty Markus Fuehrer (Chair), David Apolloni, Bruce Reichenbach DEGREE AND MAJOR REQUIREMENTS. Philosophy Major Eight courses including: PHI 230 Logic or PHI 385 Intro. to Formal Logic and Computation Theory PHI 241 History of Philosophy I: Ancient Greek Philosophy PHI 242 History of Philosophy II: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy PHI 343 History of Philosophy III: Early Modern and 19th Century Philosophy PHI 344 20th Century Philosophy 261 A 400-level course (other than PHI 499) Two elective courses in philosophy Four courses must be upper division. Major in Computational Philosophy In addition to a major and minor in philosophy, the philosophy department also offers a cross-disciplinary major in conjunction with the computer science department emphasizing areas of interest in which philosophy and computer science overlap: logic, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language. The purpose of the major is to augment the technical skills of a computer scientist with the creativity and liberal arts perspective of a philosopher. The result is a degree that is very marketable in industry and that provides an excellent logical and philosophical background for those wishing to pursue graduate study in philosophy. See course listing on page 149. Departmental Honors Admission to the philosophy honors program is by recommendation of the philosophy faculty. Such recommendations will be made at the end of the junior year. The program will consist of an honors thesis on an approved topic of the student’s choice that involves research above the course level, and a defense of this thesis before the faculty of the department. Philosophy Minor Five courses, including two from PHI 241, 242, 343, and 344. 262 Philosophy PHILOSOPHY COURSES. PHI 110 Introduction to Philosophy This course introduces students to typical philosophical questions (how we know, if we can have certain knowledge, if there are universal moral principles, whether God exists, the nature of the mind, etc.), to philosophical vocabulary, and to critical thinking and what it means to view the world philosophically. PHI 120 Ethics By studying our moral beliefs, ethics helps students consider the bases they use to make moral judgments. The course explores major philosophical approaches to evaluating moral actions and then applies them to contemporary issues. The Christian tradition will inform the considerations. Students who receive credit for PHI 120 may not receive credit for PHI 125. PHI 125 Ethics and Human Identity A philosophical study of the role of human understanding, emotions, and action with respect to the pursuit of happiness. Beginning by asking what the end or purpose of human life is, students decide on the moral and intellectual virtues required to reach the end. Topics of friendship and human love are followed by an analysis of human happiness. Students who receive credit for PHI 125 may not receive credit for PHI 120. PHI 175 Philosophy of Love and Sex The nature and history of romantic love. The ethics of sex in relation to love, marriage, the institution of monogamy, and homosexuality are considered. PHI 230 Logic Students learn to distinguish arguments from exposition. Then they learn the rules that govern valid arguments and develop their ability to recognize and construct sound arguments. The last part of the course focuses on informal logic and inductive reasoning. PHI 241 History of Philosophy I: Ancient Greek Philosophy Central philosophical questions that concerned the Greek philosophers from Thales to Plotinus and still concern us today: the nature of reality and its relationship to language and reason, the immortality of the soul, the nature of truth and human knowledge, and the nature of the good life. PHI 242 History of Philosophy II: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy Students will read writings by various medieval and Renaissance philosophers in order to understand the process of philosophical assimilation involved in constructing a Christian philosophy. Topics include: the nature of being, human understanding in relation to faith, and the place of the image of God in the human condition. (Suggested prior course: PHI 241. Spring) Philosophy 263 PHI 260 Philosophy and the Arts Philosophical issues raised and illustrated by painting, sculpture, literature, music, architecture, and film: the truth and falsehood of aesthetic judgment, the definition of art; the nature of aesthetic experience, the evaluation of art, creativity, the relation between the artist’s intention, the work of art, and its relation to the rest of the artistic tradition. For arts majors and students with a strong background in the arts. PHI 343 History of Philosophy III: Early Modern and 19th-Century Philosophy The major rationalists of the 17th century (Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz), the major empiricists of the 18th century (Locke, Berkeley, Hume), Kant’s synthesis of rationalism and empiricism, and 19th-century Idealism and the reaction to it (Marx, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Mill). PHI 344 History of Philosophy IV: 20th-Century Philosophy A survey of major philosophical schools in the 20th-century: analytic philosophy, phenomenology, existentialism, pragmatism, and post-modern philosophy. Focus of study is on major texts of these movements. PHI 350 Philosophy of Religion We systematically investigate a series of philosophical questions about religion. What is the relation between faith and reason? Does God exist, and if so, what can be said about God? Can God’s goodness be reconciled with human suffering? Are miracles and life after death possible? PHI 355 Asian Philosophy A study of the basic concepts and philosophies that underlie Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. We focus on analyzing diverse views of reality, the self, and recommendations on how to live. PHI 365 Philosophy of Science The course explores what scientific knowledge is, whether the scientist’s knowledge of the world is profoundly different and better than that of the non-scientist, and what degrees of certainty are yielded by scientific methods. (Suggested prior course: one course in natural science) PHI 370 Existentialism Studies in the writings—both philosophical and literary—of prominent existentialist authors. The course examines what it means to be a being-in-theworld and explores such themes as absurdity, freedom, guilt, despair, and paradox. (Suggested: one prior course in philosophy. Alternate years) 264 Philosophy PHI 380 Ethics of Medicine and Health Care The course discusses some fundamental ethical theories, which it then carefully applies to problems that arise in the areas of health care and delivery, allocation of scarce resources, human experimentation, genetic engineering, abortion, care for the dying, and euthanasia.

Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles that describe and govern all physical aspects of the universe. Historically called “natural philosophers,” physicists investigate by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical analysis. Physics includes the study of systems ranging from sub-atomic particles to the largest galaxies and from the relative stillness of near absolute zero to the fiery activity of stars. Physics plays an important role in many of the liberal arts disciplines and contributes to society’s understanding of such areas as energy, weather, medical science, and space exploration. Recognizing the importance of physics in contemporary life and the need to keep abreast of rapid technological advances, the department strives to give students not only an understanding of basic concepts, but also insights into recent developments. A rigorous major provides students with the preparation required for graduate study in physics. It also provides flexibility, serving as a stepping stone to advanced work in related areas such as astronomy, engineering, materials science, atmospheric science and meteorology, oceanography, biophysics, environmental science, and the medical and health-related fields. The department serves the liberal arts by offering courses for non-science students that enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science. These courses provide the basis for further study and enable students to follow new developments in science with heightened awareness and comprehension. 265 The department supervises the preengineering program, with degree programs available at cooperating universities at both the bachelor’s and advanced degree levels, and administers Augsburg College’s portion of funds designated for the Minnesota Space Grant College Consortium, funded by NASA. It also maintains active research programs through its Center for Atmospheric and Space Sciences and the Sverdrup Laboratory for Biophysics, with support from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and other private and public sources. Several students work as research assistants in these efforts during the academic year and in the summer. Cooperative education, internship, and undergraduate research programs provide opportunities for students to apply their knowledge and problem-solving skills in practical situations in industrial, governmental, and academic settings.

POLITICAL SCIENCE—POL F irmly grounded in the liberal arts tradition, political science shares concerns with the humanities, other behavioral sciences, and mathematics and the sciences. The role and significance of authority in human affairs establish the focus of political science. Augsburg political science students have the benefit of an experienced faculty that offers courses in all major areas of political science, and also possesses special expertise in the areas of campaigns and elections, comparative and international politics, mass communications and other information technolgoy, racial and ethnic politics, and American public law. Political scientists use systematic inquiry and analysis to examine political reality. The student who majors in political science will explore political ideas and values, investigate political cooperation and conflict, analyze and compare political systems, and develop perspectives on international relations. In the process, the student will be encouraged to relate insights from other liberal arts disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, economics, history, and sociology to the study of politics. Providing work in several subfields of political sciene, the major supplies the breadth appropriate for graduate work in political science, public administration, public policy analysis, law, and other professions. It also serves as a foundation on which to develop careers in public service, business, communications, and other fields. Legislative and other internships, as well as significant independent research projects, are within easy reach of Augsburg political science students in the Twin Cities area. Combined with broad, balanced, and flexible course offerings, these special opportunities enhance the student’s potential for graduate study and a successful career.

As an integral part of a liberal arts education, psychology contributes to the understanding of individual and group behavior. The study of psychology equips students to understand and use the scientific method to think creatively and critically beyond the classroom. To prepare students for graduate study and work in psychology, the major emphasizes the complementary components of a strong foundation in research and theoretical work with the application of knowledge and skills in coursework, research experiences, and internships within the community. The curriculum’s emphasis on the experiential dimensions of learning and the integration of liberal arts and professional domains prepares students for careers in many settings including business, education, social services, research, law, government, church, and medicine. Faculty members in the Department of Psychology have varied professional specializations including clinical, counseling, physiological, developmental, social, cognitive, and industrial/organizational psychology as well as expertise in psychological applications to health, law, and public policy. Students may tap this expertise through a variety of learning experiences including group and individual projects, association with Augsburg’s active Psychology Club, Psi Chi Honor Society, and faculty-student research teams.

(Prereq.: PSY 315) RELIGION, YOUTH MINISTRY—REL, YFM R eligion asks questions and seeks answers fundamental to humanity’s search for meaning: Who are we as human beings? (Who am I?) What is our relationship with each other, with the natural world, and with God? (What is my place in the world? What am I called to do?) What do good and evil mean in this time and this place? (Do I — or how do I — understand these concepts differently than those from different times and ages?) The study of religion, including inquiry into the history and traditions of Christianity, exploration of other major world religious traditions, study and interpretation of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, and reflection on vocation, is central to the mission and vision of Augsburg College. At the center of the AugCore, Augsburg’s general education program, are courses in the Religion Department. In these courses, students are challenged and equipped to articulate what they believe and to see that what they believe matters. These courses also ground students who wish to major or minor in Religion or Youth and Family Ministry, where they may more explore more deeply the interpretation of the Bible, church history, theology, world religions, spirituality and spiritual practices, as well as the practical aspects of the life and work of the church. Augsburg is a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), and this means that we are eager to engage in dialogue with Christians of all denominations and with people who practice other spiritual traditions or claim no religious beliefs. We challenge all our students to respect and learn from one another and to AND FAMILY think critically about matters of faith and reason. Religion Faculty Philip Quanbeck II (Chair), Lori Brandt Hale, Bradley Holt, Russell Kleckley, Lynne Lorenzen, Mary Lowe, Beverly Stratton, Mark Tranvik, Hans Wiersma GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. Majors The Religion Department offers two majors: Religion (REL) and Youth and Family Ministry (YFM).

It prepares students for professional work and/or graduate studies in a wide array of fields. Certainly, students interested in seminary and ministry are well-served by an undergraduate religion degree. Students who wish to pursue graduate studies in theology, religious studies, sacred scripture, or church history are also good candidates for a religion major. Students interested in graduate studies in most any field in the humanities and social sciences could choose a religion major. Law schools and other professional schools, including medical schools, are attracted to students with a religion degree and the skills of analytic reading, critical thinking, writing, and speaking acquired in pursuit of that degree.

Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. Students should consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements. SOCIAL WORK—SWK T he social work major prepares graduates to work with individuals, groups, families, communities, and organizations. Graduates are social work professionals prepared for practice that promotes social and economic justice and encourages individual and group empowerment. The social work undergraduate receives a bachelor of science in social work (BSW) degree and is eligible to apply for licensure as a generalist social worker. We also offer a graduate masters degree in social work (MSW). Both the baccalaureate and graduate social work programs are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. Social work graduates embody the Augsburg College motto, “Education for Service.” Service learning and practica assignments are integral to the curriculum. The Twin Cities region offers a variety of innovative and professional community agencies. Bringing the local social welfare resources into the classroom through presentations and internships allows students to train with and learn from local, regional and national social work leaders. Students also work within social, cultural, ethnic, and economically diverse communities, becoming better able to practice in a global society. The social work major at Augsburg College provides each student with a strong foundation for graduate studies in social work and other human service fields. The social welfare minor and social work electives offer students from other disciplines the opportunity to gain knowledge about human needs, growth and development, experience with urban human services, and an introduction to global issues of peace and justice. 293 Social Work Faculty Anthony Bibus (Chair), Laura Boisen (MSW Field Coordinator), Lois Bosch (MSW Program Director), Francine Chakolis, Christina Erickson, Annette Gerten, Barbara Lehmann, Rosemary Link, Sharon Patten, Curt Paulsen, Nancy Rodenborg (BSW Field Coordinator), Glenda Dewberry Rooney, Michael Schock (BSW Program Director), Maryann Syers (Field Education Coordinator), Tan Ngoh Tiong DEGREE AND MAJOR REQUIREMENTS.

The sociological perspective provides a way to better understand the social world and how human beings come to think and act as they do. The goal of the department is to guide students in gaining knowledge of the social order, how it affects them in their daily lives, and how it can be applied to their vocation. Sociology majors develop an understanding of the theories of society and social groups, learn to create and use scientific tools of analysis, and practice the application of sociological concepts to the solution of social problems. Students are encouraged to select as electives some of the non-traditional learning models available, such as internships, independent study, and field studies. The department urges students to use Augsburg’s metropolitan setting as a laboratory for learning. Internships, service learning, and cooperative education enable majors to apply the theories and research skills of sociology while they explore career alternatives. Augsburg alumni who have majored in sociology are currently employed in research, management, and human resources departments of both government and private corporations, in the criminal justice field, and as professors of sociology. Others have used the major as preparation for advanced study in areas such as law, the ministry, social work, urban planning, and human services. Sociology Faculty James Vela-McConnell (Chair), Lars Christiansen, Nancy Fischer, Garry Hesser, Diane Pike, Tim Pippert DEGREE AND MAJOR REQUIREMENTS. Students may choose to pursue the core sociology major or they may opt for a specialized, interdisciplinary concentration within the major. Core Major Sociology has a long-standing tradition as an excellent undergraduate major that applies to a number of fields from human services to criminal justice to business to public service. The foundation of the major at Augsburg is that it provides a clearly organized curriculum that is challenging, develops over the course of the major, and integrates and reinforces an excellent set of important skills; those skills include abstract thinking, writing, critical analysis, basic research, integration of theory and data, and the connection of the individual and collective perspectives in the unique way of the sociological imagination. The five core courses intentionally develop those skills in our students and serve them well. Thus, these required and sequenced courses are also the core of the concentrations that allow students to pursue their electives in a direction that adds other skills related to areas of interest. Those concentrations include: Community Studies, Crime and Deviance, Cultural Anthropology, Organizational Studies, and Social Psychology. The major includes a total of ten courses: five required core courses and five electives, at least two of which are upper division courses from the specified list below: Core major: SOC 121 Introduction to Human Society SOC 362 Statistical Analysis SOC 363 Research Methods SOC 485 Sociological Theory SOC 490 Senior Seminar Sociology 299 At least two of the following upper-division courses (Prereq: SOC 121): SOC 349 Organizational Theory SOC 375 Social Psychology SOC 381 City & Metro-Urban Planning SOC 390 Social Problems Analysis SOC 410 Field Studies of Organizations SOC 300 Special Topics: Organizational Deviance SOC 300 Special Topics: Juvenile Delinquency SOC 300 Special Topics: Sociology of Law Three additional sociology electives. SOC 399 (Internship) is highly recommended. Note: Majors must have a 2.0 or better in each required course to receive credit in the major.

To complete the concentration, the sociology major must complete five additional courses beyond the core sociology courses. Two of those courses must be SOC 141 and SOC 499. The remaining three courses must be selected one each from three course groupings: World Cultures, Anthropological Research, and Theoretical Perspectives. See Eric Buffalohead for advising and visit the department website for details. Concentration in Organizational Studies This concentration is designed for students who plan to work in organizational settings including corporate, government, and non-profit sectors. Students will learn how organizations are structured, function, and change, how people relate in organizational settings, and how organizations succeed and why they sometimes fail. This concentration seeks to equip students with skills to effectively lead and manage organizations, and to succeed within organizations while achieving their personal career and professional goals. Courses required beyond the core major requirements are: Work and Society (SOC 222), Organizational Theory (SOC 349), Field Studies in Organizations (SOC 410), and three courses in related fields — BUS 340, one from BUS 242 or ECO 113, and one from INS 325, COM 345, or COM 410. Organizational Deviance (SOC 300) may be a substitute for either BUS course. See Lars Christiansen for advising and visit the depart website for details. 300 Sociology Concentration in Social Psychology The intent of the social psychology concentration is to provide sociology and/or psychology students with a solid disciplinary foundation along with specific coursework to strengthen a cross-disciplinary social psychological perspective. Coursework will emphasize research skills, theoretical analysis, and applied work in areas intended to prepare students for careers in public relations, law, consulting, research, social policy, and more. Courses required beyond the core major requirements are: SOC 375, SOC 390, SOC 499, PSY 105, PSY 325, and PSY 491. See James Vela-McConnell for advising and visit the department website for details. Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog. Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements.

Both the curriculum and dramatic productions by the Theatre Arts Department offer valuable cross-disciplinary connections for the campus while also providing a solid base in classical, modern, contemporary, and multicultural theatre. Augsburg’s location in the heart of a major theatre center makes it an ideal place to study theatre. At Augsburg we seek to create every opportunity for students to grow both as theatre artists and scholars, by encouraging connections between our campus and the greater arts community while also exploring connections between theory and application. Student opportunity to make these connections includes course study, theatrical production work, participation in the Artist Series (an annual series of events featuring visiting theatre professionals from the Twin Cities community who work closely with students), and attendance at numerous professional productions in the Twin Cities. Augsburg theatre productions are treated as unique learning laboratories where students can enter into creative collaboration with faculty and professional artists-in-residence. In addition to learning skills specific to theatre, students in theatre arts learn valuable skills applicable to other professions: collaboration, verbal and non-verbal communication, organization, critical thinking, leadership, creativity, and self-expression. Involvement in theatre arts can help prepare students for such careers as law, edu- cation, business, communication, and journalism, as well as prepare theatre students for careers in professional or academic theatre, television, and film. In order to prepare the student for graduate school or the workplace, the department encourages a second major or minor in such fields as art, English, education, film, music, history, sociology, or religion.

Show more AUGSBURG COLLEGE INTERIM 1987 Page ........ 2 ........... 3 Introduction Calendar ............ 4 H Courses ............ 5 H Options Introduction to Interim Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. The college follows a 4-1-4calendar, with Fall and Spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week January Interim. Interim is particularly intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. There will be no summer Interim in 1987. Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class a s they would for a four-course load during Fall and Spring semesters. Students can register for only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course. Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale. Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/ No credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the PIN system; this is indicated in the course description. Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division standing. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and the student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard. To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35 courses of which at least three must be Interim courses (or one Interim less than the number of years of full-time enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a transfer enrolled full time for two years is required to complete one Interim for graduation). Augsburg Policy It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the basis of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or handicap a s required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, a s amended, in its admissions policies, educational programs, activities and employment practices.

BIO 112 for 313 level Distribution:Chemistry-Biology H u m a n Developmental Biology BIO 174-47007 Instructor:Robert Herforth In its broadest sense developmental biology includes the study of the entire life cycle of the individual, from production of the eggs and sperm through fertilization, embryonic and fetal development, birth, growth and maturation, reproduction, aging and death. This course will touch on all these aspects of human development, but will concentrate on gamete production, fertilization and development up to birth. Comparisons with development in other animals will be made. Some related topics which will be considered include the hormonal control of reproduction and childbirth, in vitro fertilization, methods of contraception and developmental defects. Grades will be based on several quizzes and exams given during the course. Distribution:Chemistry-Biology Time: I Room: S 212 H Biological Evolution BIO 307-47008 Instructor: Ralph Sulerud That organisms have evolved and, accordingly, all creatures are biologically related are probably the most sigmficant conclusions which biology has contributed to human knowledge. The antievolutionist arguments of the "scientific creationists" will be investigated in this course. However, to the vast majority of biologists evolution is accepted a s a fact, and the evidence in its support will be examined. Biologists do not agree concerning the mechanisms and pace of evolution. Indeed, theories as to these matters have evolved and continue to do so. Much of the course will involve historical study of evolutionary thought from pre-Darwinian times to the present. Finally, we will address the course of evolution from the origin of life itself to the origin of human life. There will be a variety of readings, and classes will consist of lectures and discussions. Grading will be based primarily on quizzes and tests. Prerequisites:BIO 111 and 112 or permission of the instructor Time: I Room: S 329 BUSINESS Micro-ComputerAccounting BUS 294-47070 Instructor: Richard Herzog This course will provide an introduction to the micro-computeras it relates to financial and managerial accounting applications.

Prerequisites: Principles of Managerial Accounting (BUS 102) Time: 11 Room: S 213 Entrepreneurship BUS 295-47011 Instructor:John Cerrito The object of this class is to provide students who are not majoring in business with entrepreneurial skills necessary for starting and running a small business. The student will be exposed to various aspects of small business management and will be required to prepare a business plan for a "model" business. The student will be evaluated on the basis of the "model" plan, on tests and performances on small business case studies. Time: I Ruom: M 23 Augsburg Goes to Business BUS 321-47012 Instructor:Thomas Morgan, Tina Wagner, Lois Olson "Augsburg Goes to Business" is a one-month senior seminar for business and economics majors. The goal of the seminar is to provide a better understanding of the diversity in organizations and the varied environments in which and the many constraints with which they must operate. Three objectives emerge: 1. to develop a clearer understanding of how the different functional areas of an organization operate on a day to day basis and how these "parts" are integrated into the overall operation of the firm. 2. to examine the extent to which "textbook approaches" correspond to "real world" situations and are able to accommodate practical application. 3. to explore potential conflicts between individual (personal and career) goals and the goals of the organization; addressing how these conflicts may be resolved. Class time will be divided between on-campus lecture and discussion and off-campus visits. Students will visit eight different types of organizations in the metropolitan area. Class discussions will focus on assigned readings, interpretation of the results of different vocational oriented tests, and the issues relevant to the selection of career paths. Students will keep a journal of experiences and observations. Grades will be determined on the basis of the journal and on a research paper the topic of which has been negotiated with the instructors. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor Time:I Room: P 2 Management Simulation Games BUS 378-47013 Instructor:Arnin Kader In this course the students will be grouped into teams. Each team controls a company which manufactures and sells a line of multiple products. The company competes against other companies; each manufactures and sells similar products. Each team attempts to outperform other teams by selecting what could be perceived by the team as the optimum operating strategy. This strategy includes s e t t i n g selling prices, production volumes, marketing expenditures, plant and securities investments, as well a s stockholders' dividends. Grading will be PIN only with evaluation on the basis of the work done and its results. Prerequisites: BUS 135 and 261, ECO 122 and 123 or permission of instructor Time: 11 Room: OM 21 CHEMISTRY The Science of Very Large Molecules CHM 104-47014 Instructor: Sandy Olmsted This is a survey of the kinds of chemicals which are vitally important to our lifestyle: plastics, synthetic fibers, proteins. These have unusual chemical and physical properties that make them especially useful. We will learn about their chemistry as we make rubber, adhesives, nylon, and plastics in class, and investigate their importance to business, the economy, and to us personally in health and medical applications, and genetic engineering. The course is aimed at creating a better informed consumer who is science-literate. Grade is determined by three exams and a short paper which is due the last day of class. Prerequisite: High School Chemistry Distribution:Chemistry-Biology Time: I1 Room: S 315 The Molecular Basis of Cancer CHM 310-47015 Instructor:David T. Brand Cancer has in some form or another touched virtually every family in America. A great deal of effort has been expended by the scientific community to find the cause(s)of cancer and to establish a cure. The question at hand is, "Are we winning the battle against cancer?" This course will focus on the causes of cancer, how it can be treated, and how it might be prevented. Topics which will be discussed in this course include: The cellular basis of cancer, the environment and cancer, the molecular basis of cancer, chemoprevention of cancer, and the psychological impact of cancer on the patientslfamilies. Principles of structural organic chemistry and molecular biology will be used throughout the course. There will be a variety of readings, and classes will consist of lectures and discussions.

January in Medieval England: An Imaginary Travel Trip ENG 213-47027 Instructor:Joan Griffin What was it like to be alive in late medieval England? Using literature, drama, music, and art of 12th to 14th century England and Europe, this course is an imaginary trip into the past, touring the medieval castle, cloister, and college. The course has two emphases. Lecture/discussion sessions will explore a variety of literary documents as well as art and music in order to understand the daily lives of medieval people. Focusing on Chaucer's Canterbury pilgrims, topics will include: "A Knight Ther Was.. . :The Chivalric Ideal"; "The Doctour of Physik: Medicine in the Age of the Black Plagues"; "Madame Eglantine: Medieval Manners" etc. The course will also explore medieval literature as a performing art. Students will be asked to participate in workshops on medieval drama, music, etc. The course will culminate in a medieval banquet or other performance. Evaluation will be based on lecture and workshop attendance and participation, a journal, and a paper. Prerequisites: ENG 111 (EffectiveWriting) Distribution: English-Speech Time: I1 Room: M 23 The Short Story - Elements of Fiction ENG 240-4702.. Instructor: Kathryn Swanson What is fiction? What is good fiction? What elements of fiction should I consider in making an evaluation? In this course, students will find answers to these questions by reading a variety of fictional works and by writing their own fiction. Although the course will not involve a systematic analysis of the history of the form of the short story, we will begin with tales and fables and we will read a sufficient number of classics for the student to appreciate the historical development from Poe to Beattie. The course will involve practice in ways of approaching literature and will include study of the basic critical terminology, so it would be an appropriate course for students who have not yet studied literature at the college level. Students are expected to read the stories and novel, participate in class discussions, write an analysis paper on a topic selected with the advice of the teacher, write a short story, and take several quizzes and a final exam. Effective Writing is not a prerequisite but students will be expected to write with clarity Distribution:~ n ~ i s h - s p e e c h Time: I Room: M 24 Emily Dickinson: The Person and The Poems ENG 340-47029 Instructor:Ron Palosaari Unknown in her lifetime, Emily Dickinson has gained a reputation as one of America's finest poets. She spent most of her life within the family home, confining her relationships to a selected few while the town regarded her as eccentric. Some writers believe she retreated from the world to give herself to her poetry because her time and place made no provision for a female professional poet, especially a boldly innovative one. Others trace her seclusion to various family relationships, personal problems, or frustrated dreams of love. Whatever the situation, out of the mystery of her life comes the glory of her poetry. We will study her poetry and a standard biography. Evaluation will be based on a few short papers, an oral or group report, a journal, and a test. We may also have some quizzes. Students will also read one of the important books on Dickinson and give a class report on the paper they prepare on their book.

Distribution:Urban, Women's and Minority Studies Time: I Room: P-2 HISTORY Modern Paris: History and Literature HIS 114-47036 Instructor:Orloue Gisselquist We will do two things in this course. First, we are going to study a significant period-the 19th and 20th centuries-in the history of one of the world's great cities. Secondly, we are going to focus much of our work on three major pieces of literature that deal with Paris. We will enjoy them as literature but study them as historical sources for what they tell us about Paris. The three pieces of literature we probably will read are Honore de Balzac, Old Goriot (1834),one of several novels he wrote picturing life in Paris; Alexis de Tocqueville, Recollections (1893),a memoir written in the early 1850's by one of the great political thinkers of the 19th century that recounts his firsthand experience in the '48 revolution in Paris; and Edrnond and Jules de Goncourt, Pages from the Goncourt Journal (1922),a very realistic day-to-daydiary kept by two brothers who professionally and socially associated with the literary elite of Paris during much of the second half of the 19th century. Whereas today history is being pressed toward the social sciences, this represents a more humanities orientation of historical study. There will be two short papers (4-5 pages each) and two written examinations. Distribution:History-Philosophy Time: I1 Room: OM 25 Myth and Myth Making HIS 219-47037 419-47038 HUM 275-47039 Instructor:Richard Nelson A myth is not something patently false or absurd, although popular usage has emphasized its fictional quality. Myth is the means by which people and cultures explain themselves to others and to themselves. In this course we will examine mythopoeic thought and the myths which that process evolved in the ancient Near East, Greece and Rome. We will read mythological literature in translation and modern commentaries on the nature of myth making. These mythologies will be studied within their historical and cultural context, resulting in a final paper on a topic to be decided upon between student and instructor. In addition to the final paper, there will be a final exam and weekly quizzes or writing assignments. Depending upon production timing, the class will attend an area dramatic presentation. Students enrolling for upper division credit will be required to write an expanded final paper based on deeper source material (18-20pages in length compared to lower division papers of 10-12 pages) and, in addition, a critical review of a pertinent study Prerequisites: ~ffectivewriting for lower division Permission of instructor for upper division registration Distribution:History-Philosophy Time: I Room: OM 13 20th Century South Asia HIS 262-47040 Instructor: Don Gustafson India (or South Asia)has produced the largest working democracy in the world today; from this people have come one of our century's greatest saints and also one of the most renowned statesmen; it is a foremost example of 20th Century colonialism and nationalism; it has experienced one of this century's greatest upheavals of people; it is a standard example for population crisis and world poverty illustrations. South Asia is all this-and much more. This course is designed for the student who has interest but little or no background in non-western subjects. We will begin with an anthropological study (BEHIND MUD WALLS) of traditional village India; then consider colonialism by reading the literary classic, PASSAGE TO INDIA (and also see the movie); observe the process of nationalism and independence using various historical readings and the movie, GANDHI; and finally conclude with some thoughts on modernization. There will be general discussions, weekly examinations and a final exam.

If so, this course is for you. We will have fun with math and convince you that you can do math. As a starting point, we will use the writings of Martin Gardner, an individualwho for many years wrote a column on mathematics for Scientific American. Then we will help you use your common sense to explore such mathematical concepts as logic, paradoxes, number theory, patterns, symmetry and other topics of interest to the class. Evaluation will be based on class participation and short reaction papers to Gardner's columns. This course should be particularly helpful for elementary education majors. Prerequisite:Group I11 on math placement test Distribution:Mathematics-Physics Time: I1 Room: OM 27 The Logical Game of Mathematics MAT 241-47041 Instructor:Larry Copes Lower-divisionmathematics students generally play only games of calculation and concepts. But DOING mathematics as professionals requires an ability to prove and disprove conjectures and to write up proofs. The objectives of this course are to help prospective mathematics majors gain or improve those skills, and to get a taste of REAL mathematics before cornrniting themselves to a major. Toward that end there will be daily assignments and weekly exams, including a cumulative final exam.

No theater experience is necessary Time: 9:30-12:OO.1:OO-3:OO Room: Stage Two Ethics in Communication SPC 340-47064 Instructor:Ray Anderson We all encounter deception and exploitation in politics, advertising, selling, and personal relations. How can one decide whether to conceal information from a customer, to use subliminal persuasion, to "blow the whistle" on one's employer, to use photographs or body language to give a misleading impression? How can one sort out and weigh the various ethical considerations? In this course we will use case studies and a variety of ethical perspectives to analyze ethical problems in such fields as advertising, public relations, sales, and politics. We will also consider issues in subliminal persuasion, nonverbal communication, and interpersonal communication. The main objective is to improve our ability to make ethical decisions. Activities will include lectures, readings, case studies, interviews, oral reports, papers, debates, and two examinations. The emphasis will be on case studies involving situations encountered in everyday life. ~rereqdsites: A course in philosophy or consent of instructor Time: I1 Room: OM 16 OTHER COURSES These courses are offered by institutions or groups not connected with Augsburg College but have been approved for credit by the college.
