They had better comprehend the values of our common culture, past and present, know how our political and economic systems work, and understand how and why science has changed the world ... Leaders need specialists as advisers and staff members. But leaders themselves are generalists ... At higher levels of leadership they cannot achieve their full potential without considerable breadth of knowledge. Only this way can they shape the contexts for decisions where expert knowledge is used. - John Gardner Augsburg College 731 21st Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55454 612/330-1786 • nformation Sessions Individuals interested in the Master of Arts in Leadership program at Augsburg College are encouraged to attend an information session.

While different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the following qualities: • a vision which is ethically and morally responsible, extending beyond immediate concerns; • an understanding of how change occurs and affects the immediate environment; • a sensitivity to the complex problems organizations face, and an ability to achieve solutions consistent with an organization's mission; "' the ability to motivate and inspire individuals and groups to work toward a common goal; and • the ability to effectively represent the organization both internally and externally. The Master of Arts in Leadership provides a means by which individuals aspiring to enhance their leadership skills may discover and refine these and other abilities and awarenesses fundamental to effective leadership. Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule The Master of Arts in Leadership program is designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults. The program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll are employed, self-disciplined and well-motivated individuals who seek a balance of classroom experience, group interaction and individual study. Each course is, therefore, divided into periods of study, group efforts and class preparation. To accommodate this format for learning, each class meets on alternate Saturdays for three-and-one-half hours and alternate Thursday evenings for one-and-one-half hours. Leadership Development Model The Master of Arts in Leadership program promotes leadership as a process which 1) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes productivity within and beyond the organization, and 3) works toward progress. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to persuade and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes is a broad range of abilities and awarenesses. These abilities and awarenesses, outlined in the diagram on page 7, serve as specific outcomes for the Master of Arts in Leadership. Augsburg's model of leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance and refine these capabilities within the individual.

Learning can be. enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement for active participation both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of men and women who bring to the program a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages graduate students to make use of college facilities such as the library, meeting rooms and the Christensen Center; to take the opportunity to share meals and coffee breaks; to participate in optional lunchtime seminars; and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Leadership Practicum . ., .· .·.· Master of Arts in Leadership students enroll in a half course called "Leadership Practicum." Students are required to enroll in this professional assessment and development course for six terms during their graduate work at Augsburg. Upon completion of the entire practicum, students receive a half course credit. In each term, specific activities related to the practicum are scheduled. Early in the program a major component of this practicum is a full-day professional assessment to determine students' abilities and potential relative to each of the outcomes of the Leadership Development Model (see page 7). Assessment instruments include paper and pencil exercises and simulation and group experiences. Following the assessment students meet individually with a trained assessor who provides guidance in personal goal-setting and in the creation of a professional development plan or "blueprint." In subsequent terms "Leadership Practicum" includes workshops designed to meet the needs of the students in the following areas: communication skills, self-assessment measures, group processes, and other professional development topics identified by graduate students and staff. .Liurriculum Design Master of Arts in Leadership students are required to complete 12 courses and a thesis. Each course unites two or more liberal arts disciplines, encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes, and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners. Instructional techniques are varied, such as case study, debate, written and oral presentation and group activity. The e techniques, which have had demon trat d succes in advan d courses, develop targeted leadership abilities and understandings. Continual reinforcement occurs as students employ these capacities in multiple courses. Students are encouraged to see abilities and understandings as cross-disciplinary and to see content areas as integrated. The very form of the program reflects the view that the world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative ability.

Published 2012 www.augsburg.edu A Greeting from the President I am pleased to know of your interest in Augsburg College’s exciting and innovative graduate programs. You are part of a select and discerning group of professionals who seek to find a graduate program that combines an excellent curriculum, a values-based approach to work, a talented and experienced faculty, and program formats that meet the needs of busy and successful people. Augsburg College’s graduate-level programs in Business Administration, Education, Leadership, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, and Social Work are distinguished by the opportunities they provide students to expand decision-making and strategic skills. Augsburg College is characterized by a strong mission: Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran church, and shaped by its urban and global settings. For our graduate programs, this mission helps to shape an innovative educational experience that features an expansive perspective on social responsibility, economic realities, business initiative, and environmental sustainability. At Augsburg College, we believe that our distinctive educational purpose is to help you find your calling at work and in the world. Augsburg graduate programs are designed to offer you quality educational experiences, personal attention, and opportunities to expand your personal and professional talents and skills. We are confident that our graduates are prepared for leadership in our ever-changing global society, the hallmark of an Augsburg degree. Sincerely, Paul C. Pribbenow President, Augsburg College Greetings from the Academic Affairs Office Welcome to our graduate programs. We are committed to education that prepares people for leadership in their communities and places of work. We believe that the liberal and professional arts and sciences form the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Our locations in the vital metropolitan areas of Minneapolis/St. Paul and Rochester offer exciting and challenging field experiences for courses that include real-life learning through academic internships, experiential education, and cultural enrichment. The Twin Cities and Rochester become extended campuses for Augsburg students. Also, the diversity in our campus community ensures that our graduates are prepared for the range of experiences and perspectives that characterize today’s global environment. When you join Augsburg you become part of a community that offers lifelong learning opportunities in state-of-the-art classrooms, with accessible libraries and dedicated faculty and staff. You join a body of experienced people who quickly form your network of employer connections and career opportunities. We encourage our alumni to become your mentors and build on our city connections through public events, including our convocations and Advent Vespers. All our programs share distinctive qualities, including our commitment and mission to be of service, with one another and to our neighbors. We expect our graduates to have their eyes on the world as they develop their identity as global citizens, with a sense of responsibility to participate in socially- and economically-sustainable development. We hope that at some time during your degree, you’ll explore the opportunities to participate in an international learning experience—for example, travel seminars to our global campuses in Central America, Mexico, and Namibia, and opportunities to meet visiting students and faculty members from our partner institutions in Norway, Germany, Finland, and Slovenia. Inspired by the faith of our Lutheran founders to be inclusive to the early immigrants who came to Augsburg’s doors, we welcome a diversity of cultures and faiths. Although each graduate program has its own “neighborhood” and unique features, we encourage interdisciplinary courses and opportunities for you to study with colleagues across disciplines. We encourage both “horizontal” initiatives—i.e., cross-program collaboration—as well as “vertical” initiatives—engaging our undergraduate students to consider graduate work. This means that sometimes you may be encouraging classmates who are just beginning to imagine a graduate degree. We are companions on your journey in fulfilling your dream of a graduate degree and we cannot wait to meet you. Sincerely, Barbara A.

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, act ethically and communicate effectively in a global world. The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg mission, informed by the liberal and professional arts and sciences, to serve our neighbors in the heart of the city with faith-based, ethical values. We welcome students from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Also, our programs look to the world through international courses and cultural exchanges. Mission Statement Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community, committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by our urban and global settings. Augsburg Today Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wis., and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. A short history of Augsburg College can be found at www.augsburg.edu/about/history.html Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of its founders who believed: • Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically and broadly about the world and the work we do in it; • An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and centers of faith; • The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment. The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.” Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society. Degrees Offered Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences is offered on both a traditional weekday schedule and a non-traditional weekend and evening schedule. Augsburg offers the following graduate programs: Master of Arts in Education (MAE) Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN) Master of Business Administration (MBA) Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies Master of Social Work Doctor of Nursing Practice Dual degrees: BA in accounting/MA in leadership Master of Social Work/Master of Business Administration Master of Social Work/MA in theology, with Luther Seminary Augsburg is enhanced by its global centers in Namibia, Mexico, and Central America. Students can perform research, take courses, or consult with faculty in those locations to gain new perspectives on their discipline. A Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s graduate programs is participation in a community of adult learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages students to make use of all College facilities such as Lindell Library, the Kennedy Center, and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Graduate Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching and service to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories. Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.

You must request to review your education records in writing, with your signature. The College will respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request.

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 as you requested. 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. “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. Academic Programs and Policies Academic Calendars Most of our graduate programs meet on a trimester calendar. Physician Assistant Studies classes meet on a semester day schedule. The official academic calendars for individual programs can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change. Academic Policies The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges. Academic Honesty A college is a community of learners whose relationship relies on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity and credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg College community. Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a College requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student pledging to abide by the College’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. (See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/) Academic Evaluation Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0 achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for details of field study and special projects. Students must achieve a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. The numeric grade point definition for Graduate Studies is: 4.0 grade points Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 grade points Achieves above acceptable standards 3.0 grade points Meets acceptable standards 2.5 grade points Meets minimum standards 2.0–0.0 grade points Unacceptable performance P N V W I X Represents work at 3.0 or higher (not counted in grade point average) No credit (not counted in grade point average) Audit Withdrawn Incomplete In progress, extended beyond term of registration Withdrawn Status W—Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record Incomplete (I) Grades An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the 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; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Academic Probation Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistant must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Attendance Policy Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements to address the needs of particular courses, individual students, or various learning styles. Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible, students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible. Continuation Policy for Thesis or Final Project (effective in fall 2010) Following the initial registration term for the final (or summative or capstone) project, students will be automatically registered for continuation course 999 each trimester for up to 15 trimesters or until a grade for the completion course is submitted by the project adviser. Continuation course 999 maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, including library, AugNet, and parking privileges. This registration will result in a Campus Access Fee of $35 (subject to change as costs increase) per trimester. Automatic registration will occur for up to five years or 15 terms. At the end of this time, the course grade will change from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project after receiving a failing grade must meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional course work and will need to pay full tuition for all additional courses and to repeat the final project course. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would supersede the previous grade. Students may withdraw from the College, and thus from continuation course 999 and the final project course, at any point during the continuation period and receive a W notation on the transcript for the final project course. Following a withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students may be subject to additional coursework. An accounts receivable hold will be placed on the student’s account if a collegewide $250 unpaid threshold is reached. The threshold will adjust with the practices of the Student Accounts Office. If a student owes more than the threshold amount, the registrar’s office will not continue to automatically enroll the student in continuation 999. The registrar’s office and the Student Accounts Office will inform the student, the program director, and coordinator that the student must pay the account (including the late fee). At this point coordinators and/or program directors will communicate with the student and the faculty adviser and, if necessary, request that the faculty adviser submit a grade change of N. The student also may elect to withdraw from the College. If the grade change has not been submitted within one term, the program director will submit the grade change of N. This policy is effective as of September 2010. Students will sign a contract outlining the terms of the continuation policy, which will be kept on file with the program and in the Office of the Registrar. Accumulated charges stand for current students, but beginning in fall 2010 students will be charged $35 per term. The Enrollment Center will work with students, as needed, who are currently in the continuation phase and who have accumulated a debt higher than the $250 threshold. Course credit and contact hours A full credit course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course on the trimester schedule meets for approximately 28 contact hours (MSW trimesters meet for 32 hours, and the PA weekday semester schedule is approximately 45 hours) with the expectation of substantial independent and group study offered through the web-based electronic course management system. Doctor of Nursing Practice—For information about course credits and contact hours for the Doctor of Nursing program, see p. 49. Degree Requirements To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following: • Successful completion of all required courses • A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. • Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed continuation agreement with Augsburg College. Dismissal from the College A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out with the program director. Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the College. Dismissal Appeals Process A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the College’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate negatively affected the outcome. The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard copy of the statement of appeal to the Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate Studies (AVP-Graduate Studies); email is not acceptable. The statement must identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The statement of appeal will be the only basis of the student’s appeal. The AVP-Graduate Studies must receive the student’s statement of appeal within 14 calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the statement of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within 15 business days of the date that the statement was received by the AVP-Graduate Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVP-Graduate Studies. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the program’s response to the student. The AVP-Graduate Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the AVP-Graduate Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty members (one from programs not named in the appeal: Social Work, Education, Physician Assistant Studies, Nursing, Business, Leadership). The Program Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s statement of response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures and ask questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each bring a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg College faculty member, staff member, or student). The role of the third party representative is to provide support to the student or the program representative, not to serve as an advocate during the meeting. Dropping Courses or Withdrawing Students who enroll in courses but later decide not to attend must formally drop their courses through the registrar’s office prior to the start of classes to avoid being charged for those courses. Students who do not properly drop courses will be responsible for the tuition, regardless of non-attendance. Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or in person at the Enrollment Center during hours of operation. If you need assistance with this, contact your program faculty at least two days in advance of the start of classes. Independent Study Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special independent study registration form is required and is available at the Enrollment Center. Terms of Non-attendance Students who interrupt their program enrollment for longer than one semester or three trimesters must readmit to the College and program to resume their degree program. For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their adviser and obtain the advice of their director. Evaluation of Transfer Credit Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide appropriate documentation regarding previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university and graded 3.0/B or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program requirements at Augsburg. The maximum number of course credits that can be transferred to these program is as follows: Master of Arts in Education (2.0) Master of Arts in Leadership (2.0) Master of Arts in Nursing (3.0) Master of Business Administration (6.0) Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator) Master of Social Work (8.0) Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter hours. Therefore, transfer credits that are reported to Augsburg as semester or quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by dividing by four or six respectively. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded on the student’s transcript. Grades and gradepoints from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Student Rights The College has adopted a statement of student rights and responsibilities and has provided for due process in the matter of disciplinary action, grievances, and grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg Student Guide, at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide. Students have a right to experience education without discrimination. Grievance Procedures Involving Augsburg College Faculty Members and Students Part I—Introduction/Preface Augsburg College is committed to a policy of treating fairly all members of the college community in regard to their personal and professional concerns. However, times do occur in which students think they have been mistreated. This procedure is provided in order to ensure that students are aware of the way in which their problems with faculty members can be resolved informally and to provide a more formal conciliation process when needed. Each student must be given adequate opportunity to bring problems to the attention of the faculty with the assurance that each will be given fair treatment. The faculty member must be fully informed of the allegations and given an opportunity to respond to them in a fair and reasonable manner. Definition of Grievance A grievance is defined as dissatisfaction occurring when a student believes that any conduct or condition affecting her/him is unjust or inequitable, or creates unnecessary hardship. Such grievances include, but are not limited to a violation, misinterpretation, or inequitable application of an academic rule, regulation, or policy of the College or prejudicial, capricious, or manifestly unjust academic evaluation. College policies and procedures that do not come within the scope of the Grievance Procedures are the sexual harassment policy, the sexual violence policy, the Committee on Financial Petitions, Discipline Process, and Academic Standing. Time Limits Time limits will include only business days (M–F) for the program in which the student was enrolled. (Weekends, and vacation days are not included; summer may not be included depending on the student’s program.) Part II—Informal Process It is always the student’s responsibility to know these procedures and timelines and to follow them. A. Any time a student feels that she/he has been mistreated by a faculty member, the student should contact the faculty member to discuss the problem and attempt to resolve it. B. If no mutually satisfactory solution can be reached with the faculty member or if, in unusual circumstances, the student prefers not to confer with the faculty member, the student should discuss the problem with the department chairperson of the faculty member and attempt resolution of the problem. C. If the problem cannot be resolved in discussions with the faculty member or department chairperson, or if the faculty member and the department chairperson are the same individual, the student may contact the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. D. The student must begin the Informal Grievance process within 15 days of the conduct giving rise to the grievance, by submitting an Informal Grievance Form to the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. • The time limit to begin the Informal Grievance process for a grade appeal will be 30 days from the last published finals date for the relevant term. It is the responsibility of the student to maintain a correct and current address on file with the registrar. • If the student could not reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct when it occurred, the student will have 15 days to file the grievance from the date on which the student could reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct or condition that is the basis for the grievance. It is the responsibility of the student to establish the reasonableness of such non–awareness. The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College will determine if this paragraph applies to a grievant. • The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College and the student must ensure the informal process is completed in 20 days. (See Part I for definition of time limits.) • In unusual circumstances, the time limit may be extended by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. A grievant or respondent must submit a written request for such extension before the end of the time limit. If the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College thinks the extension is warranted, the Dean will notify all concerned persons in writing. E. If the grievance has been resolved, either by agreement or by expiration of the time limits, a copy of the informal grievance and statements of the resolution will be kept by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College for one year. Neither a copy of nor any reference to the grievance will be placed in the personnel file of the respondent. If these informal discussions do not resolve the problem to the satisfaction of the student, a more formal conciliation procedure is available in Part III of this document. Note: A student must file a written grievance, per below, within five days after completion of the informal process Part III—Formal Process Preface If a student has a grievance with a faculty member that has not been resolved through the Informal Grievance Process described in Part II of this document, the student may then seek resolution through formal procedures. For a complete copy of the procedures, contact the dean’s office, Academic Affairs. Graduate Admissions Admission to Augsburg College All graduate programs require students to have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited fouryear institution. All graduate students must submit completed application forms that can be downloaded from each individual program’s web page, as listed below. Each graduate program also has additional program requirements, which may include coursework, professional experience, testing, etc. See the program sections for these additional requirements. MA, Education www.augsburg.edu/mae MA, Leadership www.augsburg.edu/mal MA, Nursing www.augsburg.edu/ma_nursing DNP www.augsburg/edu/dnp MBA www.augsburg.edu/mba MS, PA Studies www.augsburg.edu/pa MSW www.augsburg.edu/msw English Proficiency Requirements for International Graduate Applicants To meet Augsburg College admission requirements, you must provide evidence of a sufficient command of both written and spoken English to study college courses conducted entirely in English. Below is a list of the tests and programs Augsburg College accepts as evidence for English proficiency. • • • • TOEFL (http://www.toefl.org/) (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score report of 80 on the Internet-based TOEFL (iBT) with a subscore of 20 on the written and 20 on the speaking sections. (The Augsburg College TOEFL code is 6014.) IELTS (http://www.ielts.org/) (International English Language Testing System) score report of 6.5.

Successful completion of a previous undergraduate or graduate degree at an accredited college or university in the US, the United Kingdom, Ireland, English-speaking Canada, New Zealand, or Australia. Score reports must be sent to Augsburg directly from the testing center. Score reports must not be more than two years old. Readmission to the College The last day to receive approval for readmission to the College and register for classes is one business day prior to the start of the term. Pending approval by the graduate program, students who left on probation or who were dismissed from the College must have their readmission application and file reviewed by the program director. (Please consult with individual programs for information regarding readmission process). Admission of International Students Augsburg College graduate programs encourage qualified applicants from other countries to apply. An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a “full course of study” to achieve a specific educational or professional objective at an academic institution in the United States that has been designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of study to such students, and has been enrolled in SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System). A student acquires F-1 status using form I-20, issued by a DHS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in one of two ways: 1) if the student is abroad, by entering the United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a U.S. consulate, or 2) if the student is already in the United States and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the I-20 to USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an application for change of nonimmigrant status. A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer from another DHS-approved school to Augsburg by following the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations. In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students must also comply with the following: A. Foreign Credential Evaluation Augsburg requires foreign credential evaluation for any transcript(s) from an institution outside of the United States. This evaluation should include the following: • Analysis of credentials—to determine if your degree is equivalent to an accredited US bachelor’s degree. • Course-by-course evaluation—to show your complete course listing with credit values and grades received for each course. • Calculation of grade point average—to demonstrate your cumulative grade point average using the standard US grading system, i.e., A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0. • Translation to English (if applicable) The evaluation report must be sent directly to Augsburg’s Office of Admissions. Refer to World Education Services at http://wes.org for direction on transcript evaluation. B. Proof of Financial Support International applicants must provide reliable documentation that they have financial resources adequate to meet expenses for the duration of their academic program, which include tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, health insurance, personal expenses, and living expenses for dependents (if applicable). Funds may come from any dependable source, including scholarships, fellowships, sponsoring agencies, personal funds, or funds from the student’s family. Documentation of scholarships and fellowships may be in the form of an official award letter from the school or sponsoring agency; documentation of personal or family funds should be on bank letterhead stationery, or in the form of a legally binding affidavit. Government Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, or Augsburg’s Financial Sponsorship form can be used to document support being provided by a U.S. citizen or U.S. legal permanent resident. All financial documents such as bank statements must be dated within three months prior to the date of application. Health Insurance All F-1 international students and their dependents (if applicable) are required to have adequate health insurance coverage for the duration of their program. International students will be enrolled in the Augsburg international student plan unless they fill out a waiver verifying proof of coverage through an alternative provider for the same period. Financing Your Education Costs for Graduate Studies Each academic year the Augsburg Board of Regents reviews costs and makes changes as required. The College reserves the right to adjust charges should economic conditions necessitate. For current academic year costs for graduate study, go to the Enrollment Center webpage at www.augsburg.edu/enroll. Financing Your Education Financial assistance is available to graduate students who are enrolled in a total of at least 1.0 course credit per term in any of Augsburg’s graduate programs. Two full-credit courses per term is considered full time. You may be eligible to finance your education through loan programs from the State of Minnesota or the federal government. You may also select from a variety of payment plans available each semester or trimester, including a plan for those who receive company tuition assistance. Financial aid may be used for international programs where credit is offered. Payment Options Various payment plans are available: • Payment in full: Due after registration and before the beginning of the semester/trimester. No finance charge or administrative fee. Finance charge of 8% APR will apply toward any unpaid balance after the start of the term. • Loans, grants, and/or scholarships: If you plan to use the loans that you have been awarded, you must request the funding. These loans include Stafford, PLUS, Alternative/Private, etc. All loan requests (either paper or online) must be received and approved by the lender and certified by Augsburg’s financial aid office, on or before the first day of the term. Company Reimbursement An application for the Employer Reimbursement Payment Plan must be filed once each academic year. Students enrolled in the payment plan will be charged a $20 fee each term unless the account is paid in full by the start of the term or if financial aid will cover all costs for the term. This fee is nonrefundable after the 100% drop date. Final payment on any remaining balance is due 60 days after the end of the course. Accounts not paid in full by the due date will receive a monthly $50 late payment fee and are subject to further collection efforts. The student is responsible for payment if the employer does not pay for any reason. Sources of Financial Aid The Enrollment Center assists students in assessing financial aid eligibility and identifying various sources of aid. Sponsored Scholarships Augsburg actively pursues non-Augsburg funding for special scholarships. The availability of such scholarships may enable the participation of individuals with limited financial means as well as individuals working for volunteer agencies and other organizations not likely to provide tuition reimbursement. Refer to the program sections or contact the programs for more information. Military Discount At Augsburg College, we value the varied professional and academic experiences that our adult students bring to our campus community and are grateful to those who volunteer to serve in the military. Augsburg offers a 10% military tuition discount for the following: • • a member of the military currently serving full or part time (any branch) veteran of any branch of the United States Armed Forces. The military discount is available only to students in the Weekend and Evening College undergraduate program and graduate programs. Contact the Office of Admissions or go to www.augsburg.edu/military for more details. AmeriCorps Scholarships AmeriCorps scholarships are available to full-time graduate students. Contact the Enrollment Center for more details. Tribal and State Indian Scholarships American Indian students who meet federal, state, or tribal requirements may apply for these scholarships. Indian grants generally supplement other sources of financial aid. For assistance in application, contact Augsburg’s American Indian Student Services Program director at 612-330-1144 or your tribal agency. Federal and State Aid Programs The Enrollment Center uses standard, nationally accepted methodology to determine eligibility for federal and state financial aid programs. Federal Stafford Loan Program Common Loan Provisions Borrowing Limits: Graduate students may borrow up to $20,500 per year with an aggregate of $138,500 (undergraduate and graduate). A student may borrow from either the unsubsidized or subsidized programs or a combination of both but cannot exceed the annual loan limits. Repayment Terms: Repayment begins six months after you cease to be enrolled at least half time in an eligible program leading to a degree or certificate. Repayment may extend up to 10 years. Deferments: No interest accrues nor do payments need to be made at any time you are enrolled at least half time or for serving three years in the military, Peace Corps, or VISTA. Contact the Enrollment Center if you think you are eligible for a deferment. Supplemental Loans: If additional financing is needed, the Enrollment Center can offer guidance in selecting the appropriate loan. To Apply for Financial Aid Financial aid information is available at www.augsburg.edu/enroll Applicants must be admitted to Augsburg as regular students or be returning students in good academic standing to be eligible for financial aid. Applicants for graduate study must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To complete and submit the FAFSA electronically, go to www.augsburg.edu/enroll If a student is selected for verification, additional documents will be needed. Students in this situation will be contacted by the Enrollment Center. Financial Policies Refund Schedule Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based on the appropriate refund schedule (except for the minimum charge of $100 to cover administrative costs). Financial aid may also be adjusted for those students who withdraw from the College or drop one or more courses and receive financial assistance. [NOTE: Tuition refunds and financial aid adjustments are not necessarily made on a one-to-one basis. For example, you could receive a 60% tuition refund but have 80% of your financial aid returned. Be sure you understand the financial consequences of making adjustments to your registration.] Students are responsible for canceling courses through the Enrollment Center in order to be eligible for any refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed. The refund schedule is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. All refunds of charges will be applied to the student account and all adjustments for aid, loans, fines, deposits, etc. will be made before eligibility for a cash refund of any resulting credit balance is determined. Allow two weeks for a refund. The refund is a percentage of the full tuition charged, not a percentage of any deposit paid toward tuition, e.g. deposits made under the employer reimbursement payment plan. For further information, contact the Enrollment Center, 612-330-1046, 1-800-458-1721, enroll@augsburg.edu, or www.augsburg.edu/enroll. Master of Arts in Education We are pleased with your interest in the Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program. Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and elsewhere. We know that Augsburg College is an excellent choice for you to pursue your teaching dreams and goals—and here’s why. OUR PHILOSOPHY The Education Department program themes include relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. You can read about each theme on the following page, but for the MAE program, I want to highlight one of the program themes—leadership. As this program theme suggests, we expect our students to leave our programs as responsive, knowledgeable teachers prepared to exercise leadership in the classroom and, eventually, the school and community. Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through a combination of course content, field experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students will leave our programs as collaborative and capable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. OUR FACULTY Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors, all of whom have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all full-time faculty members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision, volunteer work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do. We value good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers. OUR ACCESSIBILITY We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and personal responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings and weekends to allow you to manage these responsibilities while pursuing your goals. You will need to be available during the weekday for the challenge and responsibility of field experiences, but education coursework is accessible through the weekend and evening schedules. As a student in Augsburg’s Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly qualified teacher—the teacher you can become. Vicki L. Olson, PhD Director, Master of Arts in Education Education Department Mission The mission of the Augsburg Education Department is to develop responsive, knowledgeable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. Program Themes Responsive, knowledgeable teachers understand the dynamic interaction among relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. These four interrelated program themes provide lenses through which we filter our practice. Relationships Learning is relational and communal. Responsive teachers create significant relationships with their students, colleagues, and community partners by developing learning communities. These nurturing learning communities provide a safe, trustworthy place where challenging and engaging questions can be considered. We model the kinds of learning communities that we expect our graduates to create. We share with our students a learning model that connects content, theory, and practice in an ongoing cycle. Students and their learning are the focus for responsive teachers. Therefore we embrace and foster a progressive and constructivist orientation. Reflection and Inquiry Responsive teachers are reflective practitioners who are students of teaching and learning. Providing numerous frameworks through which to filter our experience encourages intentional and thoughtful inquiry. Through field placements, service learning, generative questions, and classroom experiences, students and faculty develop their perspectives about teaching and learning. Critical reflection allows us to examine content, theory, and practice in ways that transform our practice. We think it is important to understand and learn how to manage the many polarities inherent in the teaching and learning process. Diversity and Equity Responsive teachers embrace diversity and intentionally work to ensure that all learners, especially those who for some reason have been marginalized, learn and develop in powerful ways. We continually reflect on what it means to be a “school in the city.” We recognize that each student is unique, shaped by culture and experience; therefore, differentiating instruction is essential. The perspective of multiple intelligences, learning style theory and teaching for understanding help us differentiate and enable us to provide choice, variety, and flexibility. Responsive teachers believe that all students can learn. They also have a sense of efficacy and believe that they can help all students learn. Leadership Responsive teachers recognize that becoming a learning leader is a developmental process, which begins in pre-service education and continues throughout one’s career. Teachers serve as leaders within the classroom, and with experience, increased confidence, and professional development become leaders within the school, the district, and the community. Teacher leaders view themselves as lifelong learners. They become role models committed to their profession as a vocation rather than a job. Emerging teacher leaders keep student learning at the center of their work while advocating for instructional innovation, constructivist curricular development, and systemic change. Master of Arts in Education Conceptual Framework Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion program. The Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their institutions and communities. The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the combined undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students are required to include coursework focused on leadership and study aspects of leadership as part of their degree program. Third, the final project—be it an action research, a leadership application project, or the performance assessment option—gives students the opportunity to study an issue of concern and, supported by research, define a means for addressing it. Three Teacher Leadership Aspirations inform our program. They are as follows. Aspiration 1: Teacher leaders value learning for personal and professional growth. Teacher leaders share knowledge effectively with colleagues. We believe that teacher leaders are comfortable with their knowledge and expertise, neither flaunting it nor hiding it, but sharing it with other generously. They work to build bridges with a full range of colleagues, but they don’t let recalcitrant colleagues stop their own development. They see learning as a continuous endeavor and seek it throughout their careers. Aspiration 2: Teachers leaders think big—beyond the classroom to the broader context of education and community. We believe that teacher leaders see systems and the “big picture” and are able to put their classrooms, schools, and communities into a broader context. They understand the link between policies, politics, and education and participate in change efforts at the macro and micro levels. They seek to work with administrators to establish school and district policy that improves life for everyone. If this involves political action, they are prepared to engage in it. Teacher leaders also understand that teaching and learning are dynamic and that change within school systems is an ever-present phenomenon. They are informed decision-makers predisposed to take on the challenge of change when they think it benefits students, teachers, and/or community. Aspiration 3: Teacher leaders possess courage and an orientation to action. We believe that teacher leaders help others not be afraid. They are able to help people to take warranted risks and step outside their comfort zones. They have the courage to bring people together to see the bigger picture and then help people get there. Teacher leaders accept both power and accountability. They understand that responsibility without power diminishes potential for effectiveness. They believe that accountability is a fair trade for the power to take effective action. They operate from a foundation of self-efficacy. Program Overview The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) is designed to provide a teaching license as part of a master’s degree program. K-12 initial teaching licenses offered at Augsburg include: • Elementary education (K-6), with or without a middle school content area endorsement in math, communication arts, social studies, or science. Also available is the pre-primary endorsement to the elementary license. • Secondary education (5-12 and K-12) in social studies, communication arts/literature, visual arts, health, mathematics, music, and physical education; and 9-12 in biology, chemistry, and physics. * K-12 English as a Second Language • K-12 Special Education: Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities • K-12 Special Education: Learning Disabilities Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE degree through the following four licensure endorsement options: * K-12 English as a Second Language • K-12 Special Education: Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities • K-12 Special Education: Learning Disabilities • K-12 Reading • Pre-Primary All teachers seeking licensure through Augsburg must take and pass all tests required by the state of Minnesota for licensure. The MAE degree is also available without a license but with an education core. See the MAE program director for details. Accreditations and Approvals Augsburg College is accredited by: • The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools • National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education Augsburg College is approved by the Minnesota Board of Teaching. Program Structure The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program is made up of a core of education licensure courses coupled with a degree completion option. Courses in the degree completion phase are drawn from the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) and graduate courses in education. Most students in the MAE program pursue a K-12 teaching license as part of their program plan. The MAE degree is also open to students who do not want a teaching license but do want a background in education and leadership. The MAE degree requires 9.0 or 10.0 Augsburg graduate level courses, depending on the degree completion option. In addition, several courses at the undergraduate level are required for licensure. Only courses taken at the graduate level apply towards the MAE degree. Course Credit A full-credit graduate or undergraduate course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course offered within the weekend schedule meets for 28 hours with the expectation of substantial independent study outside of class. Schedule The majority of the education courses in the MAE licensure and degree programs are offered through the weekend schedule. Some education courses and many undergraduate content area courses are offered on a weekday evening schedule. The MAL degree completion courses are offered primarily through the weekend schedule. Summer session courses are offered weekdays and weekday evenings. The following teaching licenses are available entirely through the weekday evening and weekend schedule: elementary education, middle school and pre-primary specialty area endorsements, 5-12 social studies, 5-12 communication arts, and K-12 art. Additional licenses in the following areas are available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, and weekend schedules: biology, chemistry, health, mathematics, music, physical education, and physics. For these licenses, the education and degree completion courses are taken during the weekend and weekday evenings while some if not all of the content area courses are taken during the weekday. The weekend schedule is comprised of three trimesters spread from early September through late June. In general, classes are held every other weekend. The weekday schedule is comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. Classes offered during the weekday meet one to three times per week. Classes offered jointly between weekday and weekend meet on a weekly basis in the evening. The official academic calendars can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Curriculum— Teaching Licenses K-6 Elementary Education This program is designed to prepare teachers for grades K-6. Optional endorsements in middle school specialty areas of math, science, social studies, and communication arts and in pre-primary can be pursued along with or separately from the K-6 license. The teaching license and some endorsements are offered at both undergraduate and graduate levels through a mix of undergraduate courses and combined graduate and undergraduate courses. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and have been admitted to the MAE program. All of the following courses must be taken for K-6 elementary licensure. Up to six courses may be taken at the graduate (500) level and applied toward the MAE degree.

Students spend 20 or more hours per term in field experiences. These experiences occur in K-6 classrooms during the weekday. If more than one course with field experience is taken in a given term, field experience requirements expand accordingly (i.e., two courses with 20 hours of field experience each require a total of 40 hours). Undergraduate Liberal Arts Requirements The number of supporting content area courses required for licensure depends upon the courses completed as part of the bachelor’s degree and/or other coursework. Requirements are determined by Minnesota licensure standards for specific college-level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary licensure. Specific requirements are on file in the Education Department. Minnesota licensure standards allow for optional subject area endorsements in communication arts/literature, social studies, math, and science. The optional pre-primary endorsement is also available. Specific requirements for these endorsements are on file in the Education Department. Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. The Education Department and the content area departments determine the courses that are accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. Courses that are older than five years are judged on a case-bycase basis. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree. The program has limits on the amount and type of courses that are accepted. Grades of B or better are required for transfer consideration. See the MAE program director for approval of graduate coursework accepted in transfer.

Both programs qualify students to teach in special education programs and positions; many students get licensure in both. The MAE program with licensure in special education is based on an innovative internship model that allows students employed in EBD and/or LD classrooms to fulfill a portion of their special education field experience requirements while they work. Students not employed in these settings are expected to complete a significant number of volunteer hours in special education settings. All must complete field placements or student teaching in EBD and/or LD classrooms across elementary, middle school, and high school. Specific information on field experience requirements is available from the Education Department. Also available is the Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort—This graduate licensure program in Special Education: EBD/LD is designed and taught from an American Indian perspective. It is offered in collaboration with the University of Minnesota-Duluth as a hybrid (partly face-to-face and partly online) cohort program. The licensure courses can be applied towards the MAE degree. See the Education Department and www.augsburg/edu/mae/academics/ais_focus.html for more information. The course descriptions are included below. The EBD/LD licensure programs are offered through the weekend trimester schedule. The Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort program is offered through the semester schedule. Special Education Licensure Requirements (These requirements are changing during 2012-13. The new requirements will be in place by Winter 2013, pending approvals.

(Pre-req.: EDC 500 and department admission) Student Teaching Students are required to complete student teaching for initial and additional licenses (unless otherwise indicated). In the MAE program, student teaching is generally completed before finishing the degree. Students can apply for licensure at this point and finish the degree later. Student teaching for elementary and secondary initial licenses lasts 12–14 weeks, depending on licensure scope. During that time, students work full time as student teachers and are supervised by an Augsburg faculty member. Students register for two to three credits of student teaching and a .5 credit TPA and student teaching seminar. They meet at Augsburg College for student teaching seminars several times during the term. Most student teaching placements are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area and Rochester. However, students do have the opportunity to student teach abroad, where students complete a 10-week student teaching experience in the metro area and then complete another student teaching experience abroad. Opportunities to teach abroad are available around the world, and it is a wonderful way to build a global perspective in education. Additional information is available through the Education Department. Student teaching for special education is 12 weeks in length for initial licenses and 7 weeks for those who already hold a license. For students who are working in an EBD or LD setting, a student teaching placement at that site may be possible, pending district approval. Additional information is available through the Education Department. Student teaching for ESL is 14 weeks in length and requires two placements, elementary and secondary. A single seven week placement is required for those who already hold a license. See the Education Department for more information. Student teaching is required for the preprimary endorsement. See the Education Department for more information. Curriculum—Graduate Degree Completion Options Students take graduate coursework as part of the licensure program. This coursework forms the Master of Arts in Education licensure core, with between four to six Augsburg graduate level licensure courses fulfilling master’s requirements. Students bringing fewer than six graduate-level licensure courses into the degree program must complete additional Master of Arts in Leadership (ML) or education graduate courses to reach the total number of required courses. To complete the master’s degree, students will need to complete one of the following options. Action Research Degree Completion Option This degree completion option requires a minimum of 3.0 courses: a Master of Arts in Leadership (ML) elective, EDC 592 Action Research 1, and EDC 593 Action Research 2. The action research courses guide the student through completion of a long-term action research project, typically conducted in the student’s classroom and focused on a question or concern identified by the student. The research is presented at an action research symposium and a formal written report of the research is placed in Lindell Library. The action research project is designed to be completed within three trimesters. Additional terms are available through continuing registration. Leadership Application Project (LAP) Degree Completion Option This degree completion option requires a minimum of 3.0 courses: an ML elective, EDC/ML 514 Research Methods–Education focus or ML 514 Research Methods and EDC 585 Leadership Application Project. Students electing this degree completion option do so because they are interested in developing an educational product that meets an identified need or because they are interested in conducting an independent research project with the assistance of a faculty adviser. To be successful in this option, students must be self-directed and able to maintain momentum without the structure of an actual course. The goal for the project varies, depending on the type of LAP. There are two options within the LAP. • The goal for those developing an educational product is to identify an issue or problem related to their practice, and after researching available literature, develop a solution to the problem or issue. The solution might be developed in the form of a curriculum, a workshop, a set of informational materials, a website, an article for publication or other appropriate educational product. • The goal for those conducting independent research is also to identify an issue or problem to investigate; but in this case, the investigation is through an independent research project. For those conducting independent research, it is especially important to have a clear vision in mind for the research and have an adviser who is willing to provide support throughout the project. Students need a research background beyond what is provided within the MAE program to be successful with this option. Both options are completed through a final oral presentation and placement of the final paper in the Lindell Library. Performance Assessment/Teacher Leadership Degree Completion Option This degree completion option requires a minimum of the following 4.0 courses: • Choose one ML leadership-focused course: ML 510 Visions of Leadership when taught with an emphasis on leadership rather than literature, ML 531 Dynamics of Change, ML 535 Organizational Theory and Leadership, ML 540 Political Leadership: Theory and Practice, ML 545 Decision Making and Leadership, or ML 565 Women and Leadership Additional courses, as developed, may also be used. • EDC 570 Teacher Leadership EDC/ML 514 Research Methods–Education focus. (ML 514 can be substituted if necessary) • EDC 594 Performance Assessment/Teacher Leadership Students electing this degree completion option do so because they are especially interested in considering leadership within the context of education and themselves as potential change agents. Alternate Settings—MAE in Rochester In step with Augsburg College’s excellent reputation in the field of education, the Master of Arts in Education program is also offered in Rochester. Licenses are available in elementary education and special education: EBD and LD. Classes primarily meet weekday evenings at Bethel Lutheran Church in Rochester. Beginning Summer 2012, the Performance Assessment degree completion option is offered at the Rochester campus. Elementary education The K-6 elementary education license allows students to teach in grade K–6. Augsburg College offers this license at the graduate level to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet admissions requirements. Courses for this license are available in Rochester. Special education The K–12 Emotional Behavioral Disorder/Learning Disability program is designed for students currently working with or planning to work with EBD and LD students. The program leads to Minnesota teaching licensure in special education with a specialty in emotional/behavioral disabilities and/or learning disabilities. All courses for these licenses are available in Rochester. Graduate Degree Completion Course Descriptions EDC 570 Teacher Leadership This course will explore generative questions about leadership, change, and our own paradigms, visions, and values. Questions like the following are at the heart of this course: What does it mean to you to be a teacher leader? What do teacher leaders do? How does one become a teacher leader? What are the ways in which teachers can take leadership? What are the skills and tools of teacher leadership? How do we bring about change? Who am I as a leader? EDC 585 Leadership Application Project (LAP) The leadership application project is either a research-based study or a curriculum-based project that links issues of leadership and education with the degree candidate’s personal interests. The character of the project will vary with the nature of the investigation, but will always be application oriented. The central component of the LAP is the demonstration of leadership ability through a concrete project appropriate to the candidate’s workplace or place of service. P/N grading. EDC 592 Action Research 1 This course will introduce students to action research, a form of research that simultaneously contributes to the practical concerns of people while furthering the goals of social science. It requires active self-reflective inquiry and collaboration. Action research is used in real situations, and is aimed at solving real problems. The goal of action research is to gain better knowledge of one’s practice while improving the situation in which the practice is conducted. This is the first of a two-trimester course. EDC 593 Action Research 2 The second term of this course involves intensive data analysis, writing, and sharing of the degree candidate’s research. It requires active self-reflective inquiry and collaboration. The trimester will culminate with a symposium in which student work will be presented in a public forum. P/N grading. EDC 594 Performance Assessment/Teacher Leadership This performance assessment course will require the students to integrate their knowledge about leadership, their sense of themselves as education leaders, and their understanding of a specific teaching/learning problem into a solution to the problem and a process for change. P/N grading. ML 514 Research Methods Evaluation and documentation of programs, projects, and ideas as they relate to leadership theories and practice. Qualitative and quantitative tools will be discussed. EDC 514/ML 514 Research Methods–Education focus will place more emphasis on reviewing existing literature and less emphasis on designing an independent research proposal. MAL Elective Courses At least one elective must be taken from the Master of Arts in Leadership courses. The following are recommended, but others may also be used. Course descriptions can be found in the MAL portion of the graduate catalog.

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

Master of Arts in Leadership MAL Mission The primary purpose of the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program is to develop leaders for organizations, the community, and society. Most organizations seek leaders who possess the following qualities: an ethically and morally responsible vision, an understanding of how change occurs and how it can be managed, sensitivity to the complex problems of organizations, and an ability to find solutions consistent with their mission, cultural competence and sensitivity to the needs of a diverse population, and the ability to inspire and motivate people to work toward a common goal. The Augsburg leadership development model provides a framework through which the program recruits its students and develops their skills. Program Overview The study of leadership is central to Augsburg College. The College mission statement says, “Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.” The Master of Arts in Leadership is quintessentially Augsburg. The integrated liberal arts perspective on leadership education is what we think of as the “Augsburg difference.” MAL is the core program of Augsburg’s Center for Leadership Studies (CLS). Developed and launched in 1987, MAL is celebrating its 25th year in 2012-2013. It is Augsburg’s oldest graduate degree and one of the oldest leadership graduate degrees in the United States. The program responds to the leadership development needs of both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. MAL has a deep theoretical base in leadership studies, yet also offers its students practical approaches to leadership that can be applied in the workplace and society. Plan of Study Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL program is based on the assumption that the students who enroll are career-oriented, self-disciplined, and well-motivated individuals seeking a balance of classroom experience, group interaction, and individual study. Most courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for discussion and dialogue. The program features classes taught by faculty from multiple disciplines and offers a choice of two formats to allow students to choose the option that works best for them. Both formats offer a combination of classroom and online learning styles in different proportions. The classic classroom format emphasizes face-to-face instruction augmented by online work. The integrated hybrid format combines online and intensive learning experiences with occasional sessions in a traditional classroom setting. Community of Learners Essential to the goals of the MAL program is participation in a community of learners. This community is enriched by the students, who have a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate community interaction, students are encouraged to make use of the Augsburg library, computer labs, and Christensen Center. The Center for Leadership Studies also offers special colloquia and seminars each year to supplement and complement the coursework of the master’s program. Leadership Development Model—Augsburg College The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that • inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources, • promotes productivity within and beyond the organization, and • works toward progress for the individual and the organization. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to persuade, and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are abilities and awareness, outlined in the Leadership Development Model, which serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg’s model of leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the individual. Two Convenient Formats: Classic Classroom and Integrated Hybrid Cohort Classic Classroom Format An emphasis on face-to-face learning Overview For more than 25 years, our classic classroom format has featured a flexible choice model that allows students to select courses and a completion option that focus on individual goals, interests, and learning style. Students can also determine the pace at which they move through the program. This format offers numerous electives and allows for individualized studies. Courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for discussion and dialogue. Some online work is incorporated into this format. Schedule During the academic year, classes usually meet every other Saturday morning or afternoon for four hours. Seven Saturday sessions are included in one trimester. Some select classes meet on Monday evenings. Students can take a combination of Saturday and Monday courses. Following this model, students can complete six courses during the academic year and a seventh during a summer session. A sample class schedule in the classic classroom format: Period I Saturday 8 a.m. to noon Period II Saturday 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Period III Monday 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Note: Each class taken commits a student to either Period I, Period II, or Period III, an average of two meetings a month. A few courses are taught on an immersion model, which features fewer but longer sessions. Augsburg College has a summer session. The MAL program usually offers several classes during the summer; the courses are five weeks in duration, meeting normally two nights a week, except for special immersion courses. Curriculum Four core courses: Visions of Leadership Research Methods Two courses related to the final project Seven electives, selected from more than 20 offerings Final Project Options for the Classic Classroom Format For non-cohort students there are three ways to complete the final project option in the MAL degree (Plans A, B, and C). All final projects are taken on a Pass/No Pass basis. In the Thesis/Leadership Application Project (Thesis/LAP) Option (Plan A), students complete 11 courses, including a thesis or a major leadership application project. In the Non-Thesis Option (Plan B), students must complete 11 courses, two major papers, but no thesis. For the third option, the Comprehensive Exam Seminar (Plan C), students complete 11 courses, including the comprehensive exam seminar. Plan A: Thesis/LAP Option Students who select the thesis/LAP option are required to develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of leadership or of a leadership-related topic. This research-based study gives the student an opportunity to “tie together” what has been learned from the study of leadership and course-related activities. The principal distinction between the thesis and the leadership application project lies in their underlying orientation. A thesis has a more theoretical orientation, while a leadership application project is based on a practical issue. Both require similar rigor and preparation. For either alternative, the student must register for ML 592 and 593. For more information regarding the thesis/LAP option, refer to the Thesis/LAP and Non-Thesis Project Guidelines booklet. Students are given a continuation period of up to 15 terms to complete the project. During the continuation period, a campus access fee of $35 per term is charged. Refer to Augsburg’s continuation policy in the Academic Programs and Policies section. Plan B: Non-Thesis Option One alternative to the thesis is the successful completion of two major papers. The first of these papers will be written in conjunction with ML 580. The second paper will be written while enrolled in ML 597 Non-Thesis Independent Project. The independent research projects approved each year will be presented in an annual colloquium. For more information regarding the non-thesis option, refer to the Thesis/LAP and Non-Thesis Project Guidelines booklet. Students are given a continuation period of up to 15 terms to complete the project. During the continuation period, a campus access fee of $35 per term is charged. Refer to Augsburg’s continuation policy in the Academic Programs and Policies section. Plan C: Comprehensive Exam Seminar The third completion option involves one paper written in conjunction with ML 580 (as in Plan B) and a comprehensive exam seminar (ML 589). This course must be taken as the last course in the program. This course is taken on a pass/fail basis, and when the course and the oral, written, and take-home examinations are successfully completed, the program requirements are satisfied. Core courses for the thesis/LAP option (Plan A): (4.0 course credits) ML 510 Visions of Leadership ML 514 Research Methods ML 592 Thesis/LAP Consultation I ML 593 Thesis/LAP Consultation II Core courses for non-thesis option (Plan B): (4.0 course credits) ML 510 Visions of Leadership ML 514 ML 580 ML 597 Research Methods Colloquium on Contemporary Theories of Leadership Non-Thesis Independent Project Core courses for the comprehensive exam seminar (Plan C): (4.0 course credits) ML 510 Visions of Leadership ML 514 Research Methods ML 580 Colloquium on Contemporary Theories of Leadership ML 589 Comprehensive Exam Seminar Core courses for the cohort final project program Elective courses for ALL Classic Classroom options (at least 7.0 course credits) The MAL program requires that seven elective courses be selected from the following course list.

Students complete the program with a cohort of peers representing many different perspectives. Students learn from each other and build relationships that will provide support throughout the program and a valuable network for the future. Schedule After starting with a five-day summer experience, classes meet on a trimester schedule September through mid-June (fall, winter, and spring trimesters). Coursework will be online and supported by three on-campus class sessions per term. Curriculum ML 510 ML 512 ML 514 ML 520 ML 523 ML 553 ML 563 ML 574 ML 580 ML 588 ML 599 Visions of Leadership Responsible Leadership for the 21st Century (Intensive) Research Methods Self-Identity, Values, and Personal Growth Leading Authentically Design and Leadership Leadership in a Global Society Strategic Leadership Colloquium of Contemporary Theories of Leadership Final Action Research Project Mid-point Augsburg Signature Experience (Intensive) Core courses for the Integrated Hybrid Cohort format (4.0 course credits) ML 510 Visions of Leadership ML 514 Research Methods ML 580 Colloquium on Contemporary Theories of Leadership ML 588 Final Project Seminar: Action Research In addition, a sequenced list of electives is prepared for each cohort. In the cohort program, students complete 11 courses, including an action research final project seminar (Plan D). Final Project for the Integrated Hybrid Cohort Format: Plan D The Integrated Hybrid Cohort format includes a final seminar in which each student prepares an action research project during the course of one trimester (Plan D). For Classic Classroom students there are three ways to complete the final project option in the MAL degree: Plan A, B, or C ( See section above, Final Project Options for the Classic Classroom Format.) Plan D is comparable to Plan B and requires both ML 514 Research Methods and ML 580 Colloquium on Contemporary Theories of Leadership as prerequisites to ML 588 Final Project Seminar: Action Research. ML 588 is taken on a Pass/No Pass basis. Course Descriptions for Both MAL Formats Each course normally includes two or more liberal arts disciplines, encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes, and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners. Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity. These techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the world in which we operate is complex, and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative abilities.

Special Programs Post-Master’s Certificate in Leadership Studies Graduate students who already possess a master’s degree in any area (including leadership) may wish to pursue the certificate program. A certificate is awarded after completion of five Augsburg MAL courses in leadership (which were not previously applied to any other degree). The student may choose any five MAL courses or may wish to focus on a specific area, such as ethics and leadership, global leadership, organizational leadership, communications, leadership development, or the liberal arts. This option is attractive for people who want to continue their professional studies but not necessarily undertake a full degree program. The normal application process is used for students who wish to pursue the post-master’s certificate. Joint BA in Accounting and Master of Arts in Leadership A BA in accounting and an MA in leadership (MAL) can be earned in this five-year program designed for students who wish to qualify for CPA certification and obtain a master’s degree. By the end of the fifth year and successful completion of all requirements, the student receives both a BA in accounting and an MA in leadership and will have fulfilled the 150-hour requirement to qualify for the CPA certification. The MAL program offers a large number of courses on a weekend schedule or Monday evening. Refer to the MAL program catalog supplement for the list of courses each year and to the accounting program coordinator for a detailed academic plan. It is recommended that students meet with an accounting adviser to create an effective plan for successful completion of the five-year program. General Requirements for the Accounting/MAL Program Accounting students planning to pursue the five-year degree must apply for admission to the MAL program at the end of their junior year. The application process includes submission of: • completed application form • three letters of recommendation (two from professors and one from an employer) • personal statement • example of their writing in an academic paper • GPA of at least 3.30 • Interview with a three-person panel from the MAL program Students must also have faculty endorsement from the accounting program.

Academic Policies Equivalencies Augsburg uses a course system rather than a credit system in its curriculum. An Augsburg course is equivalent to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Academic Evaluation Courses not offered on the numbered grading system are noted in the course descriptions in this catalog as being graded on P/N basis. In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 3.0. No more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will count toward the degree. No more than two courses with a grade of or below 2.5 can be repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are counted in the grade point average. Any course with a grade of 2.0 or lower will be transcribed as 0.0 academic credit. In order to graduate a student must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above. All required courses and the final projects must be successfully completed. A student registered for the final projects (ML 588, ML 589, ML 592, ML 593, or ML 597) may be permitted to participate in Commencement but will not receive a diploma until all courses and projects are successfully completed. Academic Probation and Dismissal Policies Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If a student receives a grade of N or 0.0 in a course, the student must petition successfully with the MAL Advisory Committee before being allowed to continue in the program. A plan for the student to follow would be outlined at that time. If a second grade of N or 0.0 is received, the student may be dismissed from the program by the MAL Advisory Committee. Students may also be dismissed by the MAL Advisory Committee for behavior detrimental to the program, such as a gross violation of College policy (as published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would occur only after established procedures were followed. MAL Program Enrollment Policy Students normally take either one or two courses per trimester. Enrolling in two courses per trimester enables a student to complete the coursework in the program within two years. Students who are away from classes for one year or longer must complete an Application for Readmission and submit it to the Office of the Registrar. Students who have been out of the program for three to five years must take one additional course to refresh their understanding of the field. Students who have been out of the program for five years or longer must take two additional courses to refresh their understanding of the field of leadership studies.

Staff Patty Park, MA, Program Coordinator Master of Arts in Nursing Doctor of Nursing Practice Welcome to graduate nursing education at Augsburg. We are eager to offer discerning nurse professionals rich educational opportunities, engaging practicum experiences, and a wealth of transcultural nursing knowledge that will enhance your practice and advance your careers. The increasing diversity of our population challenges nurses to respond with creativity and competence in a variety of contexts. The Master of Arts in Nursing program prepares nurses for leadership across care systems, population groups, cultures, and care settings, with particular emphasis on addressing global and local health inequities. Students choose between transcultural nursing in community or transformational nursing leadership tracks of study. The new post-master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program prepares nurses for innovative practice that builds upon a transcultural foundation and embraces community health and holistic nursing. The advanced practice focus is on health and collective life lived in relationship. Thus our curriculum emphasizes advanced nursing roles that maximize health of communities and change the paradigm from one that focuses on disease and illness to one that focuses on prevention and wellness. In all our programs, our students are our greatest asset. They come from all parts of the world to continue their education in transcultural nursing. Classes are therefore a dynamic mix of cultures, spiritual traditions, and lifeways. The Augsburg College mission focuses our curriculum and unites us in ongoing efforts to become better informed citizens, more thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. Classes are offered on the Augsburg campus in Minneapolis and at Bethel Lutheran Church in downtown Rochester, Minn. Video conferencing is used for most classes and allows for real-time connections between students at the two sites. Program faculty and staff are available at both sites and eager to assist students in whatever ways we can. Cheryl J. Leuning Chair, Department of Nursing Director, Master of Arts in Nursing Program and Doctor of Nursing Practice Program Master of Arts in Nursing Master of Arts in Nursing Mission Within the framework of a Christian liberal arts education, the Master of Arts in Nursing program is designed to prepare nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural practice across care settings, with particular emphasis on addressing health inequities. Curriculum Transcultural Nursing in Community The Transcultural Nursing in Community track in the Master of Arts in Nursing program was designed to prepare nurses for advanced population-focused practice in culturally diverse communities. The curriculum is grounded in nursing science, public health principles, theory-guided practice, and transcultural care. The program of study focuses on reaching populations that are underserved by traditional care systems and who exist outside of the social mainstream. As such, the program provides rich alternative teaching and learning opportunities for graduate students locally and internationally. Upon graduation from the program, nurses completing this track are eligible to apply for certification in Advanced Transcultural Nursing through the International Transcultural Nursing Society. Also, graduates completing this track will be eligible to apply to the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for certification as an Advanced Public Health Nurse (APHN-BC). Ten courses plus a transcultural field project course are required. Three courses in the advanced nursing core, which all master’s students must take; five courses from the Transcultural Nursing in Community track; and two electives make up the coursework for the program. Advanced Nursing Core (three courses) NUR 505 Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Nursing Practice (36 practice hours) NUR 520 Research Methods in Nursing (36 practice hours) NUR 523 Theory, Research, and Practice Seminar (36 practice hours) Transcultural Nursing in Community track (five courses) NUR 500 Transcultural Health Care (36 practice hours) NUR 503 Transcultural Health, Families, and the Life Cycle (36 practice hours) NUR 541 The Politics of Health Care (72 practice hours) Plus, two of the following courses: * NUR 510 Advanced Community Health Nursing I: Health As Membership; Living in Community (36 practice hours) NUR 511 Advanced Community Health Nursing II: Emerging Models of Care in Diverse Communities (72 practice hours) or NUR 530 The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Transformation** NUR 532 Transcultural Healing Practices** Electives—two graduate elective courses from Nursing, MAL, or another graduate program. *Students seeking certification as an Advanced Public Health Nurse from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) must complete 500 hours of clinical practicum work and select NUR 510 and NUR 511; students seeking certification from the International Transcultural Nursing Society may select NUR 530 and NUR 532. Clinical practicum hours are integrated into several courses in the curriculum. **Course has 0 practice hours. Graduate Project—students are required to complete a graduate project, which is equivalent to one course. NUR 525 Graduate Field Project (144 practice hours) Transformational Leadership and Management The Transformational Leadership and Management track unites the liberal arts with nursing science and practice. This track is designed to develop nurse leaders who are analytical, articulate, and constructively critical and who will be able to cope with high-level health care delivery issues. Curricular emphasis is on interdisciplinary collaboration across care settings. Participation in nursing leadership practica and classroom dialogue provides opportunities for students to apply knowledge and gain experience partnering with diverse care providers, populations, and communities to address health inequities in creative and relevant ways. Specialty electives build on students’ competencies and goals. Courses are offered by the Department of Nursing faculty as well as faculty teaching in the Master of Arts in Leadership and Master of Business Administration programs. Students take a total of 10 courses, plus a transformational leadership project course. Three courses in the advanced nursing core, which all Master of Arts in Nursing students must take, four courses in the Transformational Leadership and Management track, and three elective courses make up the coursework for the program. Advanced Nursing Core (three courses) NUR 505 Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Nursing Practice (36 practice hours) NUR 520 Research Methods in Nursing (36 practice hours) NUR 523 Theory, Research, and Practice Seminar (36 practice hours) Transformational Nursing Leadership Track (four courses)* NUR 501 Transcultural Care Systems (36 practice hours) NUR 521 Transformational Nursing Leadership (72 practice hours) BUS 520 Management of the Health Care Organization ML 541 The Politics of Health Care (72 practice hours) Electives—three graduate elective courses from Nursing, MAL, or another graduate program. *Upon graduation from the program and completion of the Transformational Leadership and Management track, students have the educational preparation to be eligible to apply for certification in Advanced Nursing Administration from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Graduate Project Students will fulfill their Master of Arts in Nursing through a final project, which serves as the capstone of the master’s program: a graduate field project or course. In the three core courses students will develop a plan for their final field project, which will be completed in NUR 525. Practica Practice experience is emphasized in both tracks in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. Students who complete the Transcultural Nursing in Community track will have enough practice hours to be eligible to apply to take the certification exam in Advanced Community Health Nursing through the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Nursing practice with diverse populations will also provide students with the experiences needed to apply to take the certification exam in Transcultural Nursing. In the practica, all students practice primarily in nontraditional settings with persons underserved or excluded from mainstream health care. Emphasis is on cultural diversity and health inequities across health care settings. Students in the Transformational Leadership and Management track have practice experience in several courses with preceptors in leadership positions in a variety of care settings. A unique opportunity offered for practica at Augsburg is provided by the Augsburg Central Nursing Center. The Nursing Center provides services for persons struggling with poverty and homelessness in the city of Minneapolis. People from diverse backgrounds, who have health experiences grounded in wide-ranging cultural contexts, provide many opportunities for students to explore advanced nursing roles and new models and forms of practice. Study Abroad and Off-Campus Opportunities The Nursing Department works closely with cultural guides, nurse mentors, and Augsburg’s Center for Global Education in developing study abroad opportunities. The following study abroad and away opportunities offer four examples of existing practicum experiences. Students may travel to Namibia in southwest Africa to spend two weeks exploring health and health care challenges within a rapidly developing country. Practical experience with nurses in a variety of care settings, meaningful dialogue with key resource persons, and critical reflection foster personal and professional growth in this practicum. Week-long immersion courses and practica are taught on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in western South Dakota. These courses and experiences offer students the opportunity to live on the reservation and participate with public health nurses providing health services. They also interact with tribal leaders and experience cultural events relevant to the Lakota people of Pine Ridge. Ten-day courses and practica are available in Mexico and Guatemala as well. Students explore the relationships of indigenous and Western health care, the connection between social justice and health, and interact with local indigenous healers. Students may apply all these study abroad options to requirements in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. These practice experiences include fees for travel and education costs on-site in addition to course tuition. Fees vary by practice site. Course Descriptions NUR 500 Transcultural Health Care This course explores meanings and expressions of health, illness, caring, and healing transculturally. Focus is on understanding and developing professional competence in caring for individuals, families, groups, and communities with diverse cultural backgrounds. Culture is examined as a pervasive, determining “blueprint” for thought and action throughout the human health experience. Patterns of human interaction that foster health and quality of life are analyzed, and health destroying patterns of interaction, e.g., stereotyping, discrimination, and marginalization, are examined and submitted to moral and ethical reflection. (36 hours of practice experience) NUR 501 Transcultural Care Systems In this course, organizations are viewed as cultural systems that are complex and adaptive, where continuous change and unpredictability rule the development and course of evolution. The importance of relationships, the role of self-organization, the processes of emergence and co-evolution are explored via readings and discussions. Attendance at a local, national, and/or international nursing leadership conference is mandatory. Dialogue and networking with a variety of nursing leaders to understand the context of transcultural health care organizations are expected. NUR 503 Transcultural Health, Families, and the Life Cycle The major curriculum concepts of individuals, health, nursing, and society are developed further in this course as the function of individuals living in families and in communities is explored. Content about systems, communication, small group, and nursing theories is applied to family constellation. The influence of the multigenerational family is examined in terms of culture, belief system, roles, health care patterns, values, and goals. Specific concepts related to values and culture are expanded and applied to the more complex social structures of traditional and nontraditional families as they interact in and with society. (36 hours of practice experience) NUR 505 Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Nursing Practice This course focuses on nursing science and nursing theory as foundational to advanced transcultural nursing practice. Philosophical underpinnings of different theoretical and research traditions in nursing are compared and related to the provision of culturally competent care in diverse communities. Nursing science is emphasized as a process of theory advancement and as an accumulating body of nursing knowledge. (36 hours of practice experience) NUR 510 Advanced Community Health Nursing I: Health As Membership; Living in Community This course focuses on persons, families, and groups living in relationship. Emphasis is on applying the core functions of community/public health—assessment, policy development, and assurance. Principles of epidemiology, population demographics, and culture care are integrated into communityfocused health care delivery models. Power structures within dominant social systems are analyzed and critiqued with regard to resource access and distribution among underserved populations. (36 hours of practice experience) NUR 511 Advanced Community Health Nursing II: Emerging Models of Care in Diverse Communities Emphasis is on the application of public/community health theory and research in providing health care to populations and communities. Essential public health services are assessed for adequacy in meeting community health needs and addressing transcultural health goals. The impact of diversity, privilege, resource limits, and globalization add depth and reality to local and global community health concerns, patterns of health, suffering, and health care provisioning. (Prereq.: NUR 510) (72 hours of practice experience) NUR 520 Research Methods in Nursing Through a combination of literature review, field experience, and class discussion, research methods relevant to the exploration of culture and health will be examined. Class topics will include formulating study questions to explore collective foundations of meaning and explanation in health and illness, practice in data collection procedures of field research, and issues of interpretation and analysis in qualitative research. (Prereq.: college-level statistics course) (36 hours of practice experience) NUR 521 Transformational Nursing Leadership This course emphasizes transformational nursing leadership and management in partnership with diverse groups. Transcultural competence is lifted up as significant to the evolving leadership and planning skills needed in emerging care systems. Opportunities for students to engage in designing relevant models of care delivery are woven into clinical practica. (36 hours of practice experience) NUR 523 Theory, Research, and Practice Seminar The conceptualization, investigation, and application of nursing knowledge will be critiqued with particular focus on its contribution to developing practice in transcultural community health care. Through reflection and dialogue, which includes professional experience of practice contexts, as well as theoretical and research literature, students will formulate a transcultural nursing model of care. (36 hours of practice experience) NUR 525 Graduate Field Project This course focuses on the application and integration of knowledge to a student-selected issue or topic of concern relevant to transcultural nursing, community health nursing, and/or transformational nursing leadership. This course focuses on a written report of the student’s project that has been developed in the nursing core. Relevant coursework is integrated into the project and the final written report. Plans for disseminating the report for public and professional use are encouraged. Students will defend the project to their graduate committee (major faculty adviser and two readers) and invited guests at the time of completion. (144 hours of practice experience) NUR 530 The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Transformation In this course, the student will explore ritual and ceremony from a transcultural perspective. Attention will be focused on rituals and ceremonies in specific cultures and religions, and in the modern American medical system that sustains its own rituals. In some cultures, formal or informal religious practices may be integral to the ritual of ceremony and healing. In modern American culture, the perceived division between the mind, body, and spirit has led to ritual and ceremony being considered adjunctive to the scientific approach ritual and ceremony into their lives and health care practices. Students will also discuss the meaning of ritual and ceremony to their own lives and professional practice. NUR 532 Transcultural Healing Practices This course will introduce students to complementary healing practices including the historical and cultural contexts in which they developed. Students will discuss the philosophical underpinnings of therapeutic systems and paradigms of healing in selected complementary therapies: music therapy, traditional Chinese medicine, mind-body healing, spiritual and faith practices, energy healing practices, movement therapies, homeopathy, manual therapies, and nutrition and nutritional supplements. NUR 541 The Politics of Health Care This course will explore how health and illness are related to inequities in society and dynamics of power in systems of health care. The following issues will be examined in the course: How widening gaps in the distribution of wealth diminish the health of all members of society; how social inequities become medicalized as health disparities, how an emphasis on profit in health care affects the distribution of healing resources in the population, and what strategies the poor and powerless employ to gain access to health care resources. This course will include an optional study abroad experience in Guatemala. (72 hours of practice experience) NUR 562 Walking the Truth: Culture, Gender, and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Sub-Saharan Africa This course explores the influence of cultural values and gender roles on the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in sub-Saharan Africa. The social determinants of health and illness—economic realities, education levels, governmental policies, access to technology, and the competence of health care providers—are examined in relation to the unequal burdens of suffering and disease evident in Africa. Leadership skills that promote MDG achievement in local, regional, and national contexts are identified and applied through experiential practical learning activities. NUR 599 Topics Study of selected topics that are not treated extensively through current course offerings. Specific topics will be published prior to registration. BUS 520 Management of the Health Care Organization This course provides an overview of the key organizational and behavioral concepts that underlie effective management practices in health care organizations. It addresses both the theory and practice of effective management. The course will emphasize the importance of addressing the expectations, needs, and performances of people in organizations, and recognizes the role of the internal, external, and global cultures that impact organizational structure, behavior, and change. ECO 520 Economics of Health Care in a Global Community At the end of the class, students will be better able to apply economic concepts to the health systems of both the United States and other parts of the world. The focus will be on the public policy aspects of the health care system, e.g., issues of access and cost.

Doctor of Nursing Practice The Doctor of Nursing Practice program prepares nurses to envision new models of advanced practice in transcultural nursing, community/public health, and advanced holistic nursing. Emphasis is placed on maximizing health within populations and communities through peaceful, collaborative actions across care settings and cultures, focusing on eliminating health inequities locally and globally. As a post-master’s program, the DNP builds upon the strengths of the Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN) program and prepares nurses for advanced practice roles in Transcultural Nursing (APTCN), Public Health Nursing (APPHN), and Holistic Nursing (AHN). Program Goals Graduates of the Doctor of Nursing Practice program will have advanced preparation to: • Negotiate the complexity of multicultural care settings and care systems to eliminate health inequities among populations and communities • Challenge conventional knowledge about illness through an ecological approach to social determinants of health • Lead change through building coalitions with marginalized people that are based on mutuality and common cause Program Structure The curriculum is structured as a full cohort model. One cohort a year will be admitted to begin in the fall term. It is expected that most students will take courses on a part-time basis as one didactic offering, one practicum, and one seminar each term. As a part-time student, completion of the program is expected to be 32 months, including completion of the capstone project. The curriculum for the DNP combines didactic, practicum, and seminar courses, with a capstone project to complete the degree. As a practice doctorate, the emphasis is on building skill in knowledge application among diverse cultural groups. The goal is to improve health and decrease inequities that lead to unnecessary morbidity and mortality in communities. Didactic A total of seven didactic courses constitute the DNP core, with one additional elective course credit required for completion of the didactic coursework. The didactic offerings carry 0.5 course credits each (1.0 course credit equals 4.0 semester credit hours) and are taught as an immersion one day a month with a half-day for seminar on the subsequent day. Practica Practica are organized to give flexibility and individual choice to students to support their increasing independence and depth of practice experience at the doctoral level. Students select practicum experiences that are either structured immersions in a variety of cultural contexts led by nursing faculty or that are student initiated and individually directed experiences mentored by nursing faculty. Practica course credits range from 0.25 (36 hours per 12-week term) to 1.0 (144 hours per 12-week term). To achieve the DNP, students must complete a total of 1,000 practicum hours in their MA and DNP programs. Students will be allowed to transfer up to 600 practicum hours from their master’s in nursing into the Augsburg DNP. Assuming a 12-week semester, practicum hours are computed as follows: • (.25 course credits) 1 semester credit hour = 3 “clock” hours of practicum time per week x 12 weeks = 3 “clock” hours per week or 36 “clock” hours of practicum time per semester • • • (.50 course credits) 2 semester credit hours = 6 “clock” hours of practicum time per week x 12 weeks = 72 “clock” hours of practicum time per semester (.75 course credits) 3 semester credit hours = 9 “clock” hours of practicum time per week x 12 weeks = 108 “clock” hours of practicum time per semester (1.00 course credits) 4 semester credit hours = 12 “clock” hours of practicum time per week x 12 weeks = 144 “clock” hours of practicum time per semester Seminars Seminars focus on integration of conceptual learning with field practice developing the student’s particular practice interest. Students are required to participate in a doctoral seminar (.25 course credits) every term—fall, winter, and spring—until completion of the DNP degree. Cohorts of students who enter the DNP program together progress as a group in the seminars in which they enroll each term. The final seminar culminates in the project presentation and completion of the requirements for the DNP degree. Students will participate in a seminar (.25 course credits) every term until completion. Final DNP Capstone Project Final DNP capstone projects must make a significant impact on nursing practice and health outcomes of populations and communities, demonstrate an evidence-based contribution to existing nursing knowledge, and be suitable for presentation or publication in a peer-reviewed venue. Through this scholarly project students demonstrate synthesis and application of scientific knowledge in advanced transcultural public/community health nursing practice. Students should begin working on their DNP capstone projects in the early stages of the DNP program and continue throughout. This scholarly project is planned in collaboration with a major faculty adviser. Curriculum Didactic Courses NUR 800 Practice Wisdom (Me¯tis) and Formal Evidence: The Dialectic between Knowledge and Engagement This course provides a foundation for building the scholarship of advanced practice in transcultural nursing and community health. Sources of knowledge and procedures for acquiring knowledge, both formal and informal, will be studied for the power to positively influence health outcomes. Evidence will be evaluated for relevance to practical experience based on context-specific (emic) positions and for rigor in empirical procedures based in context-free (etic) perspectives. Utilizing selected evidence suited to particular transcultural issues, practice modes building on both local expertise and professional research will be analyzed through systematic reflection. Students will begin developing original practice models suited to their transcultural interests and relevant to concerns of people marginalized by dominant health systems. NUR 802 Making Room at the Table: Applying Ethics to Ending Hunger and Sharing Abundance This course in applied ethics focuses on health as a human right with emphasis on the development of skills in community building as citizen professionals. From the perspective that hoarding abundance compromises the health of everyone, the course facilitates human connections that go beyond charity to acting from a basis of shared risk and solidarity. NUR 803 Transcultural Cosmologies and a Global Perspective This course explores the intersection of Western scientific principles and cultural cosmologies. Cycles, rhythms, and patterns of nature are correlated to a Western understanding of natural science. These interrelationships are then viewed through the lens of nursing theory, research, and practice. A wider horizon of meaning derived from a broad understanding of diverse methods and healing practices allows for conceptual models of nursing care to emerge that are responsive to diverse cultural expressions of health and illness. NUR 804 Mobilizing Sustainable Models of Human Betterment: Participatory Action in Community Building and Health Care This course focuses on communities as the foundation of health by recognizing strength in community residents and models that utilize the qualitative methods of participatory action that minimize the expert role in planning. Globalization as a model of neoliberalism will be critiqued, and a perspective of building solidarity among local communities will be emphasized. Skill building in participatory action processes will occur. NUR 805 Ways of Knowing: Synthesizing Qualitative and Quantitative Evidence Drawing on insights from complexity science, this course examines the diverse ways of knowing that guide professional practice. It focuses on the comparative analysis of quantitative and qualitative data. Students will critically reflect on the data, unpacking it and uncovering the meaning behind the data that supports their practice. Comparing the positivistic and interpretive stance, the students will examine relevant knowledge and ways of knowing that provide scholarly grounding for their professional expertise. NUR 806 Ecology of Human Suffering in a World of Extremes This course examines the cumulative illness-producing effects of inequities that are embedded in structures of social privilege and disadvantage. Human suffering is viewed as neither coincidental nor inevitable, but related to exploitation and organized cruelty within social systems. Epidemiological approaches are used to trace patterns of disease and illness that strike population groups and communities unequally around the world. Health status appraisal, risk analysis, and the levels of structural violence in society will be examined using culturally responsive data collection methods, resource accessibility, and the application of appropriate technology. NUR 807 Magic, Medicine, and Healing Spirits: Transcultural Perspectives on Health Care This course explores transcultural healing and caring modalities including the integration of traditional and scientific healing ceremonies and beliefs. Healing traditions among indigenous peoples will be examined, including spiritual forces that promote health and cause illness. The use of medicinal plants for healing in indigenous traditions will be compared to contemporary views of health and healing in bio-scientific models of curing. Practica Practica in the DNP include structured immersion experiences led and facilitated by faculty, and student initiated, self-directed practice experiences mentored by faculty. All practica are designed to develop students’ individual practice interests and skills. Practica are taken concurrently when students enroll in a didactic course. Guidelines for the integration of DNP practica into a plan of study include the following: • Practica will be completed incrementally throughout the DNP program. • Students may register for varying practica and credits each term, including summer • Practicum hours may be completed at the student’s job site, if approved by a supervisor and the nursing faculty adviser, but the practicum work must go beyond the student’s current job responsibilities and be consistent with the DNP program expected student outcomes. • Practica must be led or mentored by either a nursing faculty member or another approved mentor who is an “expert” within a community, population group, or has expert knowledge related to a particular phenomenon of interest to the student. • Students will develop objectives for practicum experiences in collaboration with faculty advisers and keep a record of practicum work in a professional portfolio. • Students must register for enough post-baccalaureate practicum credits to reach a total of 1,000 practicum hours to earn the DNP degree. This will be evaluated when students are admitted to the DNP program. The following are examples of directed study practica and immersion practicum experiences developed and led by faculty in the DNP program: NUR 701 - NUR 704 Directed Study Practicum (0.25-1.00 credits, 36-144 practicum hours) Directed study practica build upon advanced nursing competencies developed at the master’s level to expand and deepen knowledge supporting expert nursing practice. In the practica students will integrate and synthesize knowledge from emic wisdom with the biophysical, psychosocial, analytical, and organizational sciences as the basis for the highest level of transcultural nursing practice. Students are expected to enhance practice and/or systems management skills, including clinical reasoning, and advance to a higher level of expertise in transcultural nursing and community health. As such, directed study practica are individualized to students’ specific areas of interest and are planned by students in consultation with a major faculty adviser, cultural guides, and other mentors in the communities in which they wish to carry out the practicum. NUR 712 Culture Care on the Pine Ridge Reservation (0.5 course credits, 72 practicum hours) In this practicum students live on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in western South Dakota, where they have opportunities to gain knowledge about health inequities and structural violence from the viewpoint of persons living with poverty and cultural devastation. The strengths of the traditional Lakota culture emerge as Lakota elders and tribal leaders guide students into life on the reservation. Healing care systems and beliefs about health and illness are compared and contrasted with Western biomedical care and the politics of health care provided through the federal government’s Indian Health Service (IHS) are examined. NUR 742 Dia de los Muertos—Location: Mexico (0.5 course credits, 72 practicum hours) In this practicum students are immersed in the ancient tradition of honoring the children and ancestors during the celebration of the Day of the Dead in Mexico. Living in Cuernavaca or Oaxaca, Mexico, students are guided by indigenous participants in rituals and ceremonies that invite the return of ancestors who have died. Globalization of the holiday and its modifications through culture contact are revealed. NUR 723 Ancient Healing Practices—Location: England (0.75 course credits, 108 practicum hours) This practicum immerses students in ancient settings of healing in England—the healing waters of the Roman baths and the healing energy of and the sacred sites of ancient Celts. The importance of a connection to the land and cosmos is embodied in the origins of modern-day nursing. A visit to Homerton Hospital in Hackney, London, exemplifies transcultural care with a diverse population of immigrants and asylum seekers. NUR 752 Health Care on the Mexican–US Border (0.5 course credits 72 practicum hours) This study abroad opportunity explores issues of poverty, public health, environment, immigration, and globalization in the context of displaced communities. Participants meet face to face with immigrants, refugees, border patrol agents, factory workers, and community leaders on both sides of the US–Mexican border to listen and learn about their health concerns, economic development, human rights struggles, and efforts to achieve social justice. NUR 734 Health and Community Building—Location: Guatemala (1.0 course credits, 144 practicum hours) This practicum explores health as a human right. Analysis will focus on how widening gaps in the distribution of wealth diminishes the health of all members of society. Learning is based on immersion experiences in Guatemala City and highland Mayan communities. Observation, presentations by cultural guides, and classroom discussions will reflect on health and social justice for marginalized people. Participation in traditional back-strap weaving will guide reflection on the relationship of health and cultural continuity. Spanish language school is an option in this practicum. NUR 762 A Practicum Exploring Millennium Development Goal (MDG) Achievement in SubSaharan Africa (.5 course credit, 72 practicum hours) Students focus on the development of leadership skills that promote Millennium Development Goal (MDG) achievement in sub-Saharan Africa. Practicum activities are designed to engage health care professionals and members of local communities in best practices for achieving MDG targets by 2015. Structured lectures and discussions supplement practice and encourage students to explore sociocultural determinants of health and illness—economic realities, cultural values and gender roles, education levels, governmental policies, access to technology, and the competence of health care providers—in relation to the unequal burdens of suffering and disease evident in Africa. NUR 794 Culture Care in a World of Extreme—Location: Republic of Namibia (1.0 course credits, 144 practicum hours) Emphasis is on transcultural nursing leadership in partnership with persons and communities. Participants experience the challenges care systems face in providing health care within geographically and economically extreme contexts where isolation, poverty, and virulent disease are epidemic. Participant-observation among Ju/’hoansi communities in the Nyae Nyae Conservancy provide opportunities to collaborate and practice with nurses and other health care professionals striving to provide culturally safe and effective health care to one of the world’s “first peoples.” NUR 782 Poverty and Community Building in the Inner City—Location: Minneapolis, Minn. (0.5 course credits, 72 practicum hours) An immersion in the inner city of Minneapolis provides experience with the rich diversity in the inner city. Concepts of advanced practice in public health nursing are applied among the community of people who visit the Augsburg Central Nursing Center, a community-based nursing service. In addition to participation at the Nursing Center, students explore issues of health and social reality with cultural guides from the inner city populations and with nurses who work effectively with them. Seminars NUR 811 First-Year Seminar, NUR 821 Second-Year Seminar, NUR 831 Third-Year Seminar, and NUR 841 Final Seminar (0.25 credits per term while enrolled in the DNP) Students are required to register for a seminar each term they are in the DNP program. The purpose of DNP seminars is to integrate diverse practicum experiences with students’ individual practice interests. As such, the seminars provide a venue for students to test ideas for their practice with faculty and peers and receive relevant feedback and support. Through dialogue in the seminars, students work on their DNP capstone projects and professional portfolios. The last seminar (NUR 841) culminates in the successful completion of a scholarly capstone project that advances nursing practice. Students register for NUR 841 during the term in which they will be completing and presenting their final doctoral project, along with their professional portfolios. The professional portfolio documents the process of theory and research integration and the emerging practice innovations the student is implementing. Elective courses Elective courses are selected in collaboration with faculty advisers. Students may choose relevant elective graduate courses (at the 500 level or above) to add depth and breadth to their nursing specialty focus. These credits may be chosen from within the Department of Nursing or from a number of interdisciplinary programs and courses, including those offered by Master of Arts in Leadership, Master of Social Work, Master of Business Administration, Economics, and the Master of Arts in Education. This allows students to take optimal advantage of the richness and diversity of opportunities afforded through Augsburg College graduate programs. Admission to the DNP Admission Requirements Applicants to the Doctor of Nursing Practice program must have: • Earned master’s degree in nursing from a nationally-accredited institution • GPA of 3.2 on a 4.0 grading scale in master’s in nursing program • A current unencumbered RN license to practice in the US. • Evidence of a completed graduate research course • Evidence of up-to-date immunizations • Satisfactory results of a certified federal criminal background check Decisions about admission to the program will be made on an individual basis. Selection of candidates will be made on the basis of an evaluation of the following items for each applicant: • A three-page typed, double-spaced essay demonstrating ability to write in a thoughtful, coherent manner • Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended (Applicants with a college or university degree completed outside of the United States must submit an official evaluation from World Educational Services.) • Three professional references • An interview with program faculty The number of applicants admitted to the DNP program will be limited and based on availability of faculty members who share a student’s practice interests and goals. Meeting the minimum admission criteria does not ensure that an applicant will be admitted to the program. Applicants who have graduated from a foreign nursing program, should submit their coursework for validation to the World Education Service (WES) and have the reports sent directly to Augsburg College. Additionally, internationally-educated applicants may request the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) (http://www.cgfns.org/ ) to forward their educational credentials report to the Minnesota State Board of Nursing. Once their credentials are verified, applicants must apply for licensure and demonstrate successful passing of the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). Nurses who have previously submitted CGFNS credential verification in a state other than Minnesota, who have passed the NCLEX, will be considered for admission and must meet the same residency requirements expected of all students. Applicants whose first language is not English must submit evidence of earning a minimum score of 95 out of a possible 120 (or 250 if previous version was taken) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Transfer of credits Transcripts of students who have completed a master's degree in nursing or other graduate work are required for admission to the DNP. Doctoral credits may be transferred into the DNP program if assessed as equivalent to courses offered at Augsburg College. DNP students may potentially transfer up to 2.0 course credits or 8 semester credit hours into the DNP program. Elective courses acceptable for transfer are determined by the Department of Nursing faculty and the registrar. The process of obtaining transfer credit must be initiated by the student before the end of the first academic year of study. Submission of course syllabi and/or a detailed description of course content will be needed to initiate transfer of courses into the DNP program. To qualify for credit the practicum hours must be officially documented from the master’s degree program. Students may transfer up to 600 practicum hours that were earned and documented in their master’s degree program. These 600 hours will be counted toward the 1,000 hours required for the DNP degree. Accreditation Augsburg is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission, North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The Doctor of Nursing Practice program is a candidate for accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), which has accredited the Master of Arts in Nursing and the Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs at Augsburg. An accreditation site visit by CCNE is scheduled for March 2011. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the listing in the About Augsburg College section.

Augsburg MBA students are chosen because they exhibit purpose and direction in their careers and lives, and positive engagement with their community and associates. We invite you to become part of a growing community of Augsburg MBA alumni. Steven M. Zitnick Director, Master of Business Administration Program MBA Mission To prepare students for professional careers in business by developing their decision-making skills, critical thinking and by transforming them into effective managers and leaders in service to others. The program aspires to provide an outstanding student-centered education that produces graduates who are critically astute, technically proficient, and who understand the moral and ethical consequences of their decisions on their organization and on the world. MBA Program Overview Today’s business leader must be able to quickly analyze situations and information and critically analyze alternatives and courses of action. The purpose of the Augsburg MBA is to prepare students to accept greater responsibility in organizations facing this dynamic and fast-evolving business culture. The curriculum of the MBA gives students the ability to think critically and ethically as they face the increased challenges of a global business environment. Quality, individual initiative, ethics, and teamwork are hallmarks of the Augsburg MBA. We have a commitment to continually improve students’ experiences and learning in the program. Our faculty is uniquely qualified to bridge theory and real-world application, giving MBA students opportunities to acquire skills and knowledge in a variety of disciplines. The Augsburg MBA offers students the flexibility of completing a general MBA or a specialized MBA with a concentration that matches their interests and career goals. Accreditation The Augsburg MBA is a candidate for accreditation with the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). Augsburg is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission, North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the listing in the About Augsburg College section. Plan of Study The Augsburg MBA is an accelerated, part-time program that allows working professionals to complete an MBA degree in approximately 24 months. This is accomplished by using a cohort model in which students follow a predetermined schedule with classes meeting one night a week. Students in a cohort program model stay together as a group through the sequence of classes for the duration of the program. This provides a continuous, collaborative learning process. The cohort environment fosters a cohesive learning community where students learn from each another, mentor each other, and peer coach. You’ll share diverse professional expertise and experience as you work in teams on projects, case studies, presentations, and simulations, both inside and outside of class. Working both individually and in small groups enables you to enhance your strengths, build your skills, expand your business acumen, and improve your decision-making. Together as a community you’ll build personal, social, and academic abilities. Adult learners bring a wealth of work and personal life experiences with them into the classroom, multiplying the opportunities for learning. The personal connections and relationships you build with fellow students and faculty will extend into an important and valuable network as you take your career to new levels. Course Credit Augsburg College uses a course-credit system. A full course credit (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course on the semester schedule meets for approximately 28 contact hours with the expectation of substantial independent and group study offered through our web-based electronic course management system. Learning is supplemented by the use of our class management software; allowing students and faculty to share ideas, information and learning. Specialized Plan of Study The Augsburg MBA offers students the flexibility of completing a general MBA or a specialized MBA with a specialization that matches their interests and career goals. The general Augsburg MBA consists of 13 courses that can be completed in approximately 24 months. An Augsburg MBA with a concentration consists of nine core MBA courses and 3 additional courses that focus on their chosen area of interest. An MBA with a concentration can be completed in 28 months. Full-credit MBA courses consist of seven four-hour sessions. Classes are scheduled to meet one night each week. It is sometimes necessary to include an occasional Saturday session due to national holidays. Academic Calendar Currently, the Augsburg MBA uses the semester schedule as well as a summer session. Courses are offered consecutively during each term so students are able to concentrate on one subject at a time. The program is designed to have students take at least two full-credit courses per term. Official academic calendars and the MBA registration policies can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. The unique cohort model of the Augsburg MBA requires individual calendars for each cohort, which are provided by the MBA department. The Faculty-Led International Experience Each year, all current MBA students will be offered the opportunity to participate in a faculty-led international experience. This trip is taken in conjunction with either of these courses: MBA 565 Managing in a Global Environment or MBA 595 Strategic Management. Students will travel as a group to an international location, visit businesses, participate in faculty lectures, and learn about the culture and traditions of the countries visited. Each MBA student should have two opportunities during their matriculation in the program to participate. Costs can vary; but as a minimum, trips normally include tuition (for the course selected), airfare, lodging, and travel in-country, as well as some meals.

MBA 565 Managing in a Global Environment Explores the reasons, conditions, processes, and challenges of internationalization from an enterprise perspective. The foci of the course will be international trade theory and institutional governance of international trade/monetary policy, and the differences in political-economic/socio-cultural systems and their implications for international business.(This course may be taken in conjunction with the faculty-led international experience.) MBA 570 Quantitative Decision-Making for Managers Extracting actionable information from data, interpreting data in tables and graphs, interpreting statistical significance, evaluating survey data, using data mining with large databases, and using simulation and modeling in business decisions. MBA 575 Strategic Technology Making strategic technology decisions most favorable to organization and culture, interaction with customers and suppliers, and future growth of the organization. Students will come to understand the impact of the internet and electronic commerce on the traditional business model, the effect on employees, and the ethical and societal results of given technology choices. MBA 581-582 Management Consulting Project Working in teams with a local organization, students develop expertise in an area related to their vocation, using communication, leadership, and collaboration skills, and academic knowledge to research, analyze, and make recommendations. The management consulting project culminates in a presentation to the client and the faculty adviser. (The Management Consulting Project course is divided into two required .5 credit courses.) MBA 592 Leadership: Ethics, Service, and Transformation Provides learners with well-rounded, comprehensive leadership skills that will enhance personal and organizational effectiveness. Leadership skills and abilities have long been viewed as important contributors to success in personal and professional spheres. Topics include leadership strategy, critical and distinctive functions and skills of management and leadership, relationship building, servant leadership, leadership communication, and self-awareness and discovery of leadership styles, traits, and abilities. MBA 595 Strategic Management Organizations that survive over time generally meet customer needs more effectively than the customer’s alternatives. These organizations adapt to a constantly changing environment, usually coordinating change in a variety of different functional areas. Strategy matches the organization’s capabilities to its market position, facilitates resource allocation, and provides guidance for decisionmaking. This course is integrative of all subject matter in the MBA program, and adopts the perspective of senior management. (This course may be taken in conjunction with the faculty-led international experience.) Graduate Concentrations and Certificates MBA with a concentration The Augsburg MBA with a concentration requires the successful completion of 15 MBA courses, including nine foundational courses and six required concentration courses. Students may choose one of five concentrations: finance, marketing, international business, human resources management, or health care.

Contact the MBA office at 612-330-1778 or the Office of Admissions at 612-330-1390 for more information. MSW/MBA Dual Degree Many social service agencies today require that agency managers combine financial and business expertise with social work practice and policy formation. The MSW/MBA degree enables graduates to function in a workplace that demands the delivery of quality services with increasingly limited resources. The MSW/MBA dual degree option is available to MSW students who elect the Program Development, Policy, and Administration (PDPA) concentration. MSW/MBA students will spend their first two years taking Master of Social Work courses followed by approximately 15 months of MBA courses. For more information regarding the Program Development, Policy, and Administration (PDPA) coursework required for the MSW/MBA dual degree, refer to the Master of Social Work section in this catalog. MSW students who graduated after June 2002 are required to complete the following eight MBA courses: MBA 510 Managerial Economics MBA 520 Accounting for Managers MBA 530 Managerial Finance MBA 545 Organizational Development MBA 550 Marketing Management MBA 560 Communication Issues for Managers MBA 575 Strategic Technology MBA 595 Strategic Management MSW students who graduated prior to 2002 are required to complete nine MBA courses. This includes the eight MBA courses listed above as well as MBA 592 Leadership: Ethics, Service, and Transformation. MSW students may also be required to adjust their summative evaluation project to meet the requirements of the MSW and MBA programs. Students interested in the MSW/MBA program must apply to both programs. See the application guidelines listed under each individual program. NOTE: Admission to one program does not guarantee admission to the other. Locations and Schedules MBA classes are offered at three locations: Augsburg’s Minneapolis campus, Thrivent Financial in downtown Minneapolis and Augsburg’s Rochester campus. Cohorts begin three times per academic year: fall term (September), winter term (January), and spring (May). Orientation for new cohorts is generally scheduled for one-to-two weeks in advance of the beginning of classes. For more information on class schedules, go to www.augsburg.edu/mba or call the Office of Admissions at 612-330-1390. MBA Advisory Board The MBA Advisory Board is comprised of both active and retired senior business leaders from global, regional, and entrepreneurial organizations. The board meets several times yearly to review the program’s progress, offer advice, and provide insight into contemporary business issues that influence curriculum development or modification. Additionally, the board is invited to participate in student and alumni events throughout the year.

GMAT Alternative Option; The Individual Learning Profile (ILP) Applicants to the MBA program who have not taken the GMAT may instead elect to complete the Individual Learning Profile (ILP) assessment. This option consists of two parts; an analysis of the applicants quantitative skills and a writing assessment. Both portions of the assessment are taken online, and the quantitative skills evaluation also offers the student interactive remedial instruction. The ILP is normally completed as part of the application process, prior to admittance. GMAT Waiver Policy As a general policy, the Augsburg MBA program requires the GMAT of all applicants, due to both the analytical and critical evaluation components of our accelerated program. The GMAT is used both to evaluate the candidate’s opportunity for success as well as to indicate areas where remedial work may be necessary. However, the Admissions Committee will consider, on a case-by-case basis, GMAT waiver requests for the MBA program. Waivers are not automatic for any candidate, and a brief written request must be submitted outlining the reasons why the Admissions Committee should grant a GMAT waiver. Current occupation or undergraduate disciplines are not specific grounds for a GMAT waiver. Eligibility for GMAT Waivers GMAT waivers may be offered to: • Candidates with an appropriate and current GRE score. • Candidates who have been enrolled in a graduate degree program in a technical or quantitatively rigorous discipline (such as actuarial science, engineering, mathematics, physics, economics, or chemistry) from an accredited institution and who were in good academic standing with an overall grade point average of 3.0 or better (or the equivalent of a B average under the system used by that institution). Students should have completed at least four academic courses within this curriculum to qualify. It is important to note that employment history and current assignment will be reviewed in addition to the degree requirement. • Candidates who hold the following graduate degrees from an accredited college or university with an overall grade point average of 3.0 or better (or the equivalent of a B average under the system used by that institution.) • Medical or dental degree (MD, DDS) • Master’s or doctoral degree in an academic discipline that included a significant quantitative, engineering, mathematics, or statistics component or involved research requiring significant quantitative skills. • Any other quantitatively-based graduate degree from an accredited college or university that the Admissions Committee believes has highly prepared the candidate for rigorous graduate-level work • Master’s, PhD, EdD, or advanced degrees in disciplines other than those identified, including those granted by academic institutions outside the US These will be evaluated by the Admissions Committee. (See grade requirement above) • Candidates who have completed a graduate program at Augsburg College in the MAL, MAN, MSW, MAE, or PA programs. • Candidates with current and active CPA designation. If the CPA designation has been inactive and not current for a period greater than five years, the waiver may not be granted. GMAT Waiver Checklist Submit the following documentation to the associate director of the MBA program: • • • • One-page written request outlining reasons why the Admissions Committee should grant a GMAT waiver Copies of transcripts for all work completed at any college or university, whether or not a degree was granted (unless previously submitted to the Office of Admissions) Current résumé (unless previously submitted to the Office of Admissions) Any other information that you wish to submit to support your request. Typically, GMAT waiver decisions are made within one week of receipt of materials. For questions about this checklist or the waiver policy, contact either the Office of Admissions or the MBA program office. Academic Policies MBA Program Enrollment Policy Students are strongly encouraged to remain in their cohort and complete their MBA program as scheduled. Adjustments or modifications to the MBA schedule require the approval of the MBA program director. All students are required to complete all components of the program within five years of matriculation. Extensions beyond five years will be considered on the basis of petition to the MBA director. Students who leave the program for more than one trimester must request a leave of absence in writing from the MBA program. A leave of absence may be granted for one calendar year. Students who return to the program after a leave of one year or more must fill out an Application for Readmission form and submit it to the MBA office. Time spent on an official MBA-approved leave of absence will not count toward the five-year deadline for degree completion. Academic Evaluation Evaluation of academic performance in the MBA program will be based on number grades using a 4.0-scale. For complete information, see Academic Programs and Policies. Withdrawal from Class For information regarding the last date on which students may withdraw from a class and receive a “W” on their records, refer to the course information on Records and Registration. Attendance Policies Student attendance at scheduled class meetings is a priority and required. However, MBA faculty understand that MBA students are working adults with significant responsibilities who, on occasion, face unforeseen situations that may interfere with attendance. Students should notify the faculty member teaching the course as soon as possible when the problem is immediate. When the student knows in advance of a class date where a potential conflict exists, they must discuss the proposed missed class with the faculty member prior to the date of the class. Students are responsible for the work covered during that class session and for making appropriate arrangements for obtaining handouts, lecture content, or other materials. Faculty members may assign appropriate independent work to insure that the student understands the material covered during the class session. If appropriate and acceptable coordination is carried out by the student, there need not be any grade reduction for a single missed class session. This may be dependent on assignments due on the date of the missed class; e.g., final project presentations or team presentations. Point/grade reductions for unexcused absences are the prerogative of the faculty. Two missed class sessions, unexcused or excused, may be grounds for directing the student to withdraw from the course. More than two absences, excused or unexcused, require that a student withdraw from the class. Degree Requirements To be conferred the MBA degree, students must achieve the following: • Successful completion of all admission conditions • Successful completion of MBA courses (2.5 or above) • No more than two courses with a grade of 2.5 or below, and with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher at the completion of the program • Successful completion and submission of the management consulting project (capstone) Students who successfully complete Augsburg’s MBA program will receive a Master of Business Administration degree.

Continued accreditation is an accreditation status granted when a currently accredited program is in compliance with the ARC-PA Standards. Continued Accreditation remains in effect until the program closes or withdraws from the accreditation process or until accreditation is withdrawn for failure to comply with the Standards. The approximate date for the next comprehensive review of the program by ARC-PA will be September 2018. About PA A physician assistant (PA) is a dependent practitioner of medicine who practices under the supervision of a licensed physician. The PA can practice in a multitude of settings and specialties of medicine. Common job responsibilities including taking patient histories, performing physical exams, ordering and interpreting laboratory tests and radiological studies, formulating diagnoses, and administering treatment. In the state of Minnesota, a PA is registered with the Board of Medical Practice. In Minnesota, and most other states, the PA must be NCCPA (National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants) certified and hold a supervisory agreement with a licensed physician. Minnesota registered PAs have prescriptive privileges under delegatory supervision with their physician for prescriptive medications. Curriculum The Physician Assistant program at Augsburg is 36 months long with studies beginning each year in the summer semester (late May). The program accepts 30 students for each new class. The Augsburg PA program includes traditional college “breaks” such as winter holiday break, spring breaks, and summer breaks. Length of breaks varies depending upon the student’s year in the program; these breaks contribute to the overall three academic year length of the program. Studies begin in late May of each year. The first 19 months of study is didactic, or classroom work, including courses in human gross anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical medicine, pharmacotherapy, history and physical exam skills, research, and ethics and legal issues in medicine. The clinical phase is 17 months in length. Each student is required to successfully complete clinical rotations in family medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, psychiatry, emergency medicine, internal medicine, surgery, and an elective rotation by choosing from various specialties. The clinical phase will culminate with a 12-week preceptorship. The majority of established clinical rotation sites are in Minnesota in both rural and urban locations. Graduates will receive a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies and a PA certificate.

Prerequisite: PA 552 Clinical Phase (17 months) The clinical phase of the physician assistant graduate program is 17 months in length. The initial 12 months is designed much like a physician’s internship. Each student is required to progress through seven required rotations in the following disciplines: family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, general surgery, women’s health, emergency medicine, and psychiatry. Each of these rotations is six weeks long. Additionally, within that first 12 months, each student will complete six weeks total of selected electives from disciplines such as orthopedics, ENT, dermatology, etc. The clinical phase of the program is designed to effectively train students for practice by providing them with rotation experiences in different specialties and different practice settings. To that end, each student will be required to complete several rotations outside the metropolitan area. The clinical phase culminates with a 12-week preceptorship. This preceptorship is designed to solidify the student’s primary care skills, and potentially place them in a setting that might be interested in recruiting a graduate PA. The preceptorship may be completed within the community that the student has been in for the required rotations, or may be elsewhere in the state. The clinical curriculum is taught by physicians, and supplemented by physician assistants and other health care providers. Each student is evaluated by the clinical instructor for the designated rotation. Students will return to Augsburg College five times during the clinical phase for evaluation and education.

All applications to the PA Program for the entering class must be processed through CASPA, following all guidelines and regulations set forth by CASPA. Application forms with detailed instructions can be obtained online at www.caspaonline.org. You will be considered an eligible applicant if you have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 at the time of application (as calculated by CASPA), if you have a minimum science GPA of 3.0 at the time of application (as calculated by CASPA), if you have completed or will complete your undergraduate degree prior to the start date of the program, and if you have completed or will complete your prerequisite courses within the timeline specified for your degree status. Augsburg’s PA Program Supplemental Application can be downloaded from our website at www.augsburg.edu/pa. It is important for the applicant to determine whether he or she is in fact eligible to apply to the PA Studies Program, as the supplemental application fee is non-refundable. You will be required to print and sign the supplemental application and mail it to the program by the application deadline. Selection Process All complete files (CASPA and Supplemental Applications that meet requirements) will be reviewed by the admissions committee. The admissions committee procedures utilize a blinded review, so applicant demographic data is unknown (e.g., race, age, gender). Each file is reviewed by members of the committee. The selection committee looks for a balanced application by reviewing many criteria including key criteria of cumulative GPA, science GPA, and direct patient care experience, along with overall academic record, service to underserved (meaning disadvantaged, minority, or under-represented populations), knowledge of the profession, fit with the program goals and mission, and recommendation letters. Once the committee has completed the file review, a group of candidates is selected for a telephone interview. The telephone interviews are generally conducted between November and January. Those selected for a telephone interview are invited to a Candidate Information Session in the program to meet faculty, staff, current students, and to view the facilities. After telephone interviews are conducted, the class of 30 students, as well as a list of alternates will be selected. All applicants are notified of their status no later than mid-February. Accepted applicants must complete and pass a background check prior to matriculation and annually throughout the program. Failure of the background check could result in dismissal from the program. Academic Policies Technical Standards The Augsburg College Department of Physician Assistant Studies is pledged to the admission and matriculation of all qualified students and prohibits unlawful discrimination against anyone on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, marital status, sexual orientation, status without regard to public assistance or disability. Regarding disabled individuals, the PA department is committed to provide reasonable accommodations and will not discriminate against individuals who are qualified, but will expect all applicants and students to meet certain minimal technical standards, with or without reasonable accommodations. Physician assistants must have the knowledge and skills to function in a broad variety of clinical situations and to render a wide spectrum of patient care. They must be able to integrate all information received by whatever sense(s) employed, consistently, quickly, and accurately, and they must have the intellectual ability to learn, integrate, analyze, and synthesize data. Candidates for physician assistant certification offered by this department must have, with or without reasonable accommodation, multiple abilities and skills including visual, oral-auditory, motor, cognitive, and behavioral/social. Candidates for admission and progression must be able to perform these abilities and skills in a reasonably independent manner. • Visual: Candidates must be able to observe and participate in experiments in the basic sciences. In order to make proper clinical decisions, candidates must be able to observe a patient accurately. Candidates must be able to acquire information from written documents, films, slides, or videos. Candidates must also be able to interpret X-ray and other graphic images, and digital or analog representations of physiologic phenomena, such as EKGs with or without the use of assistive devices. Thus, functional use of vision is necessary. • • • • • • Oral-Auditory: Candidates must be able to communicate effectively and sensitively with patients. Candidates must also be able to communicate effectively and efficiently with other members of the health care team. In emergency situations, candidates must be able to understand and convey information essential for the safe and effective care of patients in a clear, unambiguous, and rapid fashion. In addition, candidates must have the ability to relate information to and receive information from patients in a caring and confidential manner. Motor: Candidates must possess the motor skills necessary to perform palpation, percussion, auscultation, and other diagnostic maneuvers. Candidates must be able to execute motor movements reasonably required to provide general and emergency medical care such as airway management, placement of intravenous catheters, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and application of pressure to control bleeding. These skills require coordination of both gross and fine muscular movements, equilibrium, and integrated use of the senses of touch and vision. Cognitive: In order to effectively solve clinical problems, candidates must be able to measure, evaluate, reason, analyze, integrate, and synthesize in a timely fashion. In addition, they must be able to comprehend three dimensional relationships and to understand the special relationships of structures. Social: Candidates must possess the emotional health required for the full utilization of their intellectual abilities, for the exercise of good judgment, for the prompt completion of all responsibilities attendant to the diagnosis and care of patients, and for the development of effective relationships with patients. Candidates must be able to tolerate physically taxing workloads and function effectively under stress. They must be able to adapt to changing environments, display flexibility, and learn to function in the face of uncertainties inherent in the clinical problems of patients. Tests and Evaluations: In order to evaluate the competence and quality of candidates, the Augsburg Physician Assistant Program employs periodic examinations as an essential component of the physician assistant curriculum. Successful completion of these examinations is required of all candidates as a condition for continued progress through the curriculum. Reasonable accommodation will be made in the form or manner of administration of these evaluations where necessary and possible. Clinical Assessments: Demonstration of clinical competence is also of fundamental importance to the career and curriculum progression of the candidates. Therefore, the process of faculty evaluation of the clinical performance of candidates is an integral and essential part of the curriculum. Although reasonable accommodation will be made, participation in clinical experiences and the evaluation of that participation is required. Experiential Learning Policy The Augsburg Physician Assistant Program does not award academic credit to an individual for experiential learning. Applicants desiring admission to Augsburg’s PA Program must satisfactorily complete all prerequisite courses. Experiential learning will be considered separately from prerequisite courses. Experiential learning prior to and during admittance to the Augsburg PA Program will not substitute for any part of the clinical year or preceptorship. Employment while in the Program Program faculty discourage outside employment while in the Physician Assistant Program. Faculty recognize that employment may be an issue that some students will face. Given this recognition, realize that program obligations will not be altered due to a student’s work obligations. It is further expected that work obligations will not interfere with the physician assistant students’ learning progress or responsibilities while in the program. Withdrawal and Readmission Policies Voluntary withdrawal from the Physician Assistant Program may be initiated by a student after submission of a letter to the program director requesting withdrawal. In the letter, the student should outline the circumstances and reasons for withdrawal. Students will be requested to conduct an exit interview with the program director prior to leaving the program. For information on withdrawal, see the Academic Programs and Policies section. Readmission Students may request readmission after voluntary withdrawal by submitting a letter to the program director stating the reasons the student wishes readmission and the anticipated date for readmission. The submission of a letter and previous enrollment does not constitute automatic acceptance and/or reentry into the program. Reapplication to the PA Program after dismissal from the program will be considered only under extremely unusual circumstances. Students who submit letters will be reviewed by the program faculty. Any student requesting readmission will be considered a new applicant to the program and will be required to complete the program application process as a new applicant, and may be required to repeat coursework. Reapplication does not guarantee readmission to the Physician Assistant Program. After careful review of the student’s previous academic record and the request for readmission, a decision will be made. Students may be required to repeat selected coursework or meet new requirements of the Physician Assistant Program that became effective after the student’s withdrawal. A decision will also be rendered as to what program coursework will be considered for credit as completed. Costs of the PA Program For tuition information, go to www.augsburg.edu/pa.

Master of Social Work You have chosen an exciting way to serve others. The social work profession offers you the rewarding prospect of joining with others to respond to problems and develop opportunities that benefit individuals, families, groups, and communities. The MSW degree prepares you for advanced professional practice in the field of social work. Augsburg’s MSW program prepares you for agency-based practice with individuals, families, groups, and communities, and with a dedication to system change that reduces oppression and discrimination. Graduates of our program share how they appreciated the opportunity to learn new ideas as well as learn more about themselves. These graduates valued our small class size, our cohort structure, and the opportunity to have a mentoring relationship with our faculty and staff. As a small program, we have high expectations for our students and at the same time offer the flexibility to help them meet their individual goals. Attending Augsburg College will transform and develop your professional life in unexpected ways. We have two concentrations. The first, Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP), will prepare you for direct clinical practice with individuals, families, and groups. The second, Program Development, Policy, and Administration (PDPA), will prepare you for macro social work practice with organizations, communities, and other large systems. We are delighted in your interest in our MSW program and invite you to join us in a lifelong adventure in learning. The personal and professional growth necessary to become an advanced professional social worker is challenging. We encourage you to take the challenge with us. Lois A. Bosch, PhD, LISW Director, Master of Social Work MSW Mission Our mission is to develop social work professionals for practice that promotes social justice and empowerment towards the well-being of people in a diverse and global society. Program Overview The MSW program prepares social work students for agency-based practice in public and nonprofit settings. By working in the agency setting, social workers collaborate with others to provide holistic, affordable, and accessible services to individuals, families, groups, and communities. Our challenging MSW curriculum integrates social work theory with micro- and macro-practice methods. Students develop skills, knowledge, and values necessary for ethical social work practice. As you progress through our MSW program, you will: • learn how an individual lives in and is affected by his or her social environment; • understand how social policies and programs affect individuals, families, communities, and society; • apply theories and methods of practice through the field practicum experience; • use a range of client-centered approaches to practice with client groups of all types and sizes; • engage in practice informed by sound, scholarly research; • evaluate the effectiveness of your social work practice or social work programs; • advocate for the eradication of oppression and discrimination; and • be a responsible and contributing citizen in the local and global community. Accreditation Augsburg’s MSW program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). Your MSW degree must be accredited by CSWE if you wish to seek licensure with the social work board of your state. For more information on CSWE accreditation go to www.cswe.org. Plan of Study Students entering Augsburg’s MSW program with a bachelor’s degree from a discipline other than social work are foundation students. Foundation students complete 18 full courses. Full-time foundation students are enrolled in a two-year program. Part-time foundation students are enrolled in a four-year program. Students entering Augsburg’s MSW program with a bachelor’s degree in social work from a CSWE (Council on Social Work Education) accredited institution have advanced standing. Advanced standing students complete 13 full courses and are enrolled in a one-and-a-half-year program. The part-time option is not generally available for students with advanced standing. All students must complete the MSW degree in no more than four years following matriculation. Academic Calendar The MSW program meets on a trimester academic calendar, offering classes September through June. Classes typically meet every other weekend with an occasional back-to-back weekend. Field practicum hours are generally completed during weekday hours. If a student lives outside the Twin Cities metro, the field practicum hours can be completed at a placement near the student’s place of residence. Hours per week vary depending on the agency placement and the student’s availability. For academic calendars and schedules, go to www.augsburg.edu/enroll/registrar. Class Periods Classes meet in four-hour blocks on Friday evenings, 6 to 10 p.m.; Saturday mornings, 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.; and Saturday afternoons, 1 to 5 p.m. Each class meets for eight sessions in a given trimester. Time Commitment Although classes meet on weekends, students spend time on their studies during non-class weekends and weekdays. On a class weekend, the typical student will spend 12 hours in class within a 23-hour period. For every hour spent in class, a student may expect to spend 3 to 4 hours outside of class working on assignments or group projects. A student may also spend 15 to 20 hours per week in the field practicum during the fall, winter, and spring trimesters (a span of 7 to 9 months for each practicum). In the final year of study, students complete a summative evaluation or a portfolio, which requires significant independent research, analysis, and writing. Some MSW students work full time while enrolled in the program; however, full-time employment is not recommended. Most students arrange to reduce their work hours or request time away during their graduate studies. Each student’s situation is unique and must be decided individually. All students must develop strategies for balancing family, work, and academic responsibilities. Course Credit and Contact Hours A full credit MSW course (1.0) is equal to 4 semester credits or 6 quarter credits. Each full course meets for 32 contact hours, with the expectation of substantial independent study outside of class. Cohort Structure MSW students are admitted to a particular cohort. Cohorts are distinguished by level of admission (foundation or advanced standing), rate of attendance (full-time or part-time), and chosen concentration (Multicultural Clinical Practice [MCCP] or Program Development, Policy, and Administration [PDPA]). Any changes to a student’s cohort selection must be approved by the MSW director. Field Practicum Foundation students complete 920 hours in two field practica; advanced standing students complete 500 hours in one field practicum. Successful completion of the first field practicum, applicable for foundation students, is a minimum of 420 hours. Successful completion of the second field practicum, required for both foundation and advanced standing students, is a minimum of 500 hours. Each practicum experience is spread over at least two trimesters (fall and winter). These hours are completed concurrent with enrollment in the fieldwork seminars as well as other MSW courses. MSW Curriculum Components Foundation Curriculum The foundation curriculum is made up of nine full courses and a generalist field practicum. In the foundation courses, you are introduced to social work as a profession. You will learn both historical and contemporary theories and practice methods relating to both the individual and the environment. During the foundation year, you will study human behavior and the social environment, history of social welfare policy, research methods, assessment frameworks, family and community diversity, and social work values and ethics. In the foundation curriculum, you will apply this generalist knowledge of theories and practice methods in the generalist field practicum. The field practicum is completed concurrently with your enrollment in two fieldwork seminar courses. The full foundation curriculum is required of all students, with the exception of those admitted with advanced standing. Before beginning the concentration curriculum, all foundation coursework and field hours must be successfully completed. Concentration Curriculum The concentration curriculum is made up of nine full courses and an advanced field practicum. After completing the foundation requirements, you will enroll in the concentration curriculum, which you selected at the time of application. Augsburg offers two concentrations: Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) or Program Development, Policy, and Administration (PDPA). In either concentration, you will deepen your knowledge of the primary issues affecting families and communities, develop a range of client-centered approaches to practice, gain a broader understanding of human diversity, develop competencies in practice-based research, and learn practice or program evaluation techniques. In the concentration curriculum, you will apply this advanced knowledge of theories and practice methods in the concentration field practicum. The field practicum is relevant to your chosen concentration and is completed concurrently with your enrollment in two or three field seminar courses. As a capstone to your MSW program, you will complete a portfolio project or a summative evaluation project. Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) Concentration Multiculturalism is a process requiring practitioners to have a deep awareness of their social and cultural identities, as well as the ability to use multiple lenses when working with diverse populations. With person-in-environment as an organizing perspective, multicultural clinical social work practice addresses the biopsychosocial and spiritual functioning of individuals, families, and groups. To this end, graduates of the MCCP concentration develop competence in using relationship-based, culturally informed, and theoretically grounded interventions with persons facing challenges, disabilities, or impairments, including emotional, behavioral, and mental disorders. Program Development, Policy, and Administration (PDPA) Concentration In the tradition of Jane Addams, the heart of macro social work practice directs energy toward changing agency, government, and institutional policies that obscure or oppress people. While many social workers view their role as focused on individuals and families, social work must also actively seek equality and justice for clients within agencies, institutions, and society. Social work leaders must advocate for social change to ensure social justice. The Program Development, Policy, and Administration (PDPA) concentration responds to this demand for leadership. The macro (PDPA) social work practitioner recognizes the strengths and abilities of individuals and communities to implement change. The social work macro practitioner works in partnership with these individuals and communities to do so. In this concentration you will learn the knowledge and skills necessary to work with others to achieve needed social change. You also will learn to develop, lead, guide, and administer programs that serve diverse people in a variety of settings. If you are interested in social work leadership, program planning, or community and policy advocacy, this concentration helps you achieve that goal. Portfolio or Summative Evaluation Project Portfolio Project (MCCP students) The goal of the MCCP Portfolio is to enhance the integration of theory and practice, as well as to offer more vivid portrayals of a student’s academic and professional experience than traditional assessments. By definition, portfolios are formative, i.e., designed for guided reflection and selfevaluation. However they are also summative documents in that they illustrate students’ competencies. All MCCP students are required to create such a portfolio during their final year of study. Items in a portfolio might include videotapes, process recordings, reflective statements, writing samples, case analyses, term papers, electronic submissions, policy activities, feedback from service users, self-evaluations of personal progress, and links to references. Summative Evaluation Project (PDPA students) All social workers must evaluate their practice to determine whether they are helping or harming clients. While in the concentration practicum, PDPA students will design and implement a program evaluation for their summative project, which requires integration and application of knowledge and skills from both the foundation and concentration curricula. Students develop their research while in their field internship and are advised by their field seminar professor. Students conduct and present this evaluation/research project during their final year of study. Master’s Thesis Students in both concentrations have the option of completing a thesis in addition to either the portfolio or summative evaluation project. Course credit for the general elective is given for this option. Students work with a thesis adviser to develop more in-depth research skills contributing to social work knowledge. To pursue the thesis option, students should notify the MSW program director by the end of spring trimester of the foundation year. Degree requirements To be conferred the MSW degree, students must achieve the following: • Successful completion of any admission conditions (e.g., statistics, bachelor’s degree) • Successful completion of MSW courses: 18 full courses for foundation students 13 full courses for advanced standing students • No more than two courses with a grade of 2.5, and with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher • Successful completion of 920 hours of approved field practica for foundation students, 500 hours of approved field practicum for advanced standing students • Successful completion and submission of the portfolio project (MCCP) or the summative evaluation project (PDPA) • Successful completion of all degree requirements within four years of matriculation State of Minnesota Social Work Licensure Six months prior to completion of the MSW degree at Augsburg, students may apply to take the Licensed Graduate Social Worker (LGSW) license exam from the Minnesota Board of Social Work. To achieve LGSW licensure students must pass the state board exam and complete the MSW degree. To seek the Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) license or the Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) license, one must work two years full time (or 4,000 hours part-time) as an LGSW under the supervision of an LISW or LICSW. Upon completion of the supervision requirement, one may take the LISW or LICSW state board exam. For more information, go to the Minnesota Board of Social Work web page, www.socialwork.state.mn.us.

MSW Course Descriptions Foundation Courses SWK 500 Human Behavior and the Social Environment This course provides the knowledge basic to an understanding of human growth through the life cycle. It explores the interplay of sociocultural, biological, spiritual, and psychological factors that influence the growth of individuals and families in contemporary world society. Basic knowledge of biological systems is required. SWK 501 History of Social Welfare Policy This course analyzes the history of social welfare policy in the United States and its impact on current social systems and social policy. It examines the major assumptions, values, ideas, and events that contribute to the rise of the welfare state and the profession of social work. Social welfare policies of other countries are also explored. SWK 504 Research Methods 1 This course provides an introduction to social science research methods and ethics, including practice and program evaluation. The course presents research designs, both quantitative and qualitative approaches, and various ways to organize, compare, and interpret findings. Students will be introduced to the use of computers in data analysis. Basic knowledge of statistics is required. SWK 505 Practice Methods and Skills 1: Individuals This course introduces students to social work practice. In sequence with SWK 506, it prepares students to apply the generalist perspective for practice with systems of all sizes. Students begin by learning about social work with individuals, with a dual focus on the person in the environment. In this context, they learn about direct services as well as social change. SWK 506 Practice Methods and Skills 2: Groups This course prepares students for generalist social work practice with larger client systems. The strengths perspective is emphasized, and students learn to complete assessments and formulate intervention strategies in partnership with groups, organizations, and communities. SWK 509 Assessment and Diagnosis in Mental Health Practice This is a foundation Human Behavior and the Social Environment course which explores psychopathology and mental disorders from a developmental and strengths perspective. Emphasis is placed on understanding biopsychosocial influences on the incidence, course, and treatment of the most commonly presented mental disorders and the differential effect of these factors on diverse populations at risk. SWK 510 Advanced Practice Methods This course is for advanced standing students only and is designed to provide a transition from their BSW program to advanced placement in the MSW program. It provides knowledge and skill building in the latest approaches to social work practice, contemporary theories, and current research on effectiveness. The program’s approach to graduate level social work practice with individuals, groups, families, organizations, and communities will be covered, with opportunities to build on students’ BSW background and post-graduate experience. SWK 516 Community Development for Social Change This course applies the ecological premise that what is personal is also political. The course focuses on knowledge and skills necessary to practice at the community level of social work practice. Students will analyze social organizations, policies, and community development. SWK 530 AND SWK 535 Integrative Field Seminar 1 and 2 (.5 credit each) The integrative field seminars are courses where field practice and classroom theory meet. The goal is to strengthen the connections between social work theory and practice. Students are expected to spend 420 hours in a fieldwork practicum during enrollment in these two courses and to be enrolled in the corresponding practice methods courses. SWK 531 Methods Skills Lab (.5 credit) This half-credit course places an emphasis on active learning and the application of content presented in SWK 505. The skills lab is an integral part of the required graduate school core curriculum. All students in field placements must participate in the skills lab and Integrative Field Seminar 1. SWK 536 Human Behavior and the Macro Social Environment (.5 credit) This course builds on HBSE, moving from the individual life span focus to emphasizing the impact of the environment in all relationships, stressing the link between social issues and individual problems plus defining the common human condition. Multicultural Clinical Practice Concentration Courses SWK 610, 611, and 612 Integrative Field Seminar 3, 4, and 5: MCCP (.5 credit each) The field seminars are designed to address issues and experiences from the student’s field practicum through rigorous application of different theoretical concepts and social work principles using a culturally sensitive approach grounded in a clear ethical foundation. The goal is to strengthen the students’ sophistication in understanding the interconnections between culturally appropriate theory and practice skills related to a specific client system, and the students’ inherent and inescapable contribution based on the students’ use of self. Secondly, the field seminars are the courses where students reflect on the evolution of their practice and document their progress. All students in field placements must participate in the appropriate concurrent field seminar. SWK 615 and 616 Diversity and Inequality 1 and 2: MCCP (.5 credit each) These courses are based on a dual focus of valuing diversity and understanding social justice. This two-course sequence studies the history, demographics, and cultures of various disenfranchised groups as well as the dominant culture. It examines the impact of inequality on people of all backgrounds. In the second trimester, students will participate in dialogue group: a stage-based, cofacilitated, face-to-face group that focuses on dialogue skills within the context of one’s race, ethnicity, age, religion, disability, country of origin, gender identity and sexual orientation. The two-sequence course is based on several assumptions: social inequality is an overarching phenomenon related to diversity, with individual manifestations within different social identity categories; social injustice occurs and is present at individual, institutional, and societal/structural levels; and, professional social work ethics and values demand cultural competence and culturally sensitive practice at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels. SWK 628 MCCP with Individuals MCCP with Individuals is a required methods course in the MCCP concentration. The course prepares social work clinicians who are competent to assess, intervene and monitor clinical interventions that are culturally sensitive and consistent with social work values and ethics. Although focused on individual intervention, clients are viewed within the context of their families and social context. The therapeutic process and treatment strategies are examined, incorporating content from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and post-modern models. These content area are compared from a multicultural perspective in terms of their theoretical assumptions, intervention methods, and empirical evidence regarding treatment outcomes. Application of the models is placed within the problem-solving model and guided by an ecosystems, strengths, and empowerment perspective. Particular attention is given to the development of self-reflective practitioners. SWK 629 MCCP with Families MCCP with Families is a required methods course that focuses on the family as a unit of assessment and intervention in clinical social work practice. This course examines theory, knowledge and skills for clinical practice with families within a multicultural context. Students apply major family therapy models to assessing and intervening with families experiencing problems. The models are compared from a multicultural perspective in terms of their theoretical assumptions, intervention methods, and empirical evidence regarding treatment outcomes. Application of the models is placed within the problem-solving model and guided by ecosystems, strengths and empowerment perspectives. The course emphasizes family work that is appropriate to individual and family developmental stages and to diverse family types. Attention is given to family-centered practice in different social work fields of practice and settings and to the development of self-awareness of the practitioner. SWK 630 MCCP Policy Practice In this course, MCCP students learn how organizational and social policies affect the delivery of clinical social work services in multicultural contexts. Students build upon the core policy practice competencies gained in their MSW foundation courses. Clinical social work practice is distinguished from other professional clinical practice by this use of the person-in-environment perspective. The multicultural lens sharpens focus on both the strengths that come with diversity and the discrimination and oppression, such as racism, that policies can uphold or undo. SWK 631 MCCP with Groups (.5 credit) This course prepares students for advanced multicultural group work within a clinical practice. It builds on the foundational curriculum with particular attention to clinical practice skills. Students will focus on the process of individual empowerment and change in the context of clinical group processes. Applied theories of human development, change, and resilience are integrated with theories of group processes, group leadership, and group communication as a critical knowledge base for planning, intervention, and leadership. Students will develop an understanding of phases of group practice, intervention skills, and ethical practices applied in a groupwork environment. In this course, the reflexive use of self and the cautious use of evidence based practice serve as the foundation for culturally responsive group work. Students will consider how their social identity and position influences similar and mixed social identity groups and their processes. SWK 634 MCCP Supervision (.5 credit) Building upon the research to date on social work supervision, this course presents the functions of supervision (administrative, educational, supportive) as they interrelate in achieving the primary purpose of clinical supervision: assuring that client services prevent difficulties in client functioning and restore or enhance the biopsycohosocial and spiritual functioning of individuals, families and groups served by supervisees. Students hone skills necessary for each of the stages of the supervisory process (planning, beginning, work, and ending), and they build a repertoire of supervisory questions that have been associated in research with fostering success in meeting clients’ goals. Students learn to differentiate supervision with its dimensions of hierarchical power, responsibility, liability, and authority from peer consultation. They gain competencies in both individual and group supervision, as well as competencies related to consultation with a multicultural lens to advance the application of theories and models of clinical social work practice. SWK 635 and 636 MCCP Evaluation 1 and 2 (.5 credit each) The values and skills of advanced clinical practice combined with research methods guide the creation of culturally appropriate approaches to monitoring and evaluating clinical practice. Multicultural evaluation is built on the values of social work, “dignity, self-determination, equity, empowerment, and social justice” (Gutierrez, 2004, p. 127). Monitoring and evaluating clinical practice requires the integration of evidence-based practice knowledge, multicultural clinical skills and multiepistemological research skills. This approach to evaluation critically applies the fundamental tenants of social science research, including both modern and post-modern methods. SWK 639 MCCP Elective (.5 credit) Courses in MCCP electives are opportunities for students to practice with a focus on a particular field or aspect of social work practice. Examples include Ethics, Substance Abuse and Social Work, and Trauma Therapy and Treatment. Program Development, Policy, and Administration Concentration Courses SWK 651 AND 652 Integrative Field Seminar 3 and 4: PDPA (.5 credit each) The goal of these two courses is to strengthen the connections between theory and practice. All students in field placements must participate in the appropriate concurrent field seminar. As part of this integrative function, the seminar also serves as a means for making connections among course components and the expansion of classroom content—particularly as relating to dynamics of groups, communities, and organizations; human behavior; policy analysis; and research. SWK 657 AND 658 Diversity and Inequality 1 and 2: PDPA (.5 credit each) These courses explore diversity and social inequality related to race, ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual orientation, age, and disability with application to the social service setting. Students focus on the structural and institutional processes through which social inequality is created and perpetuated. Institutional remedies for inequality are studied, such as affirmative action and equal opportunity policy, culturally competent supervision, administration, program development, and advocacy. SWK 660 Research 2: Program Evaluation Building on the basic research skills developed in Research 1, this course offers a program-oriented exploration of the range of research methods used in social work. There will be a particular focus on evaluative research, a critique of the role of research in assessing efficiency and effectiveness in social service delivery, and identification with the responsibility of social workers “to expand the knowledge base” of social work. The course emphasizes research as a tool at all levels of social work and will be concerned with strengthening the linkages between research, theory, and program evaluation. SWK 667 Organizations/Social Administrative Practice 1 This course examines organizational theory and structure; processes of development, research, and evaluation; and social work values and ethics in the workplace. The need to work effectively within an organizational context means that social work practitioners must acquire a level of expertise in organization theory, dynamics, structure, and behavior, as well as an understanding of how organizations provide practice opportunities and constraints. This course provides opportunities for students to build the necessary skills to become effective service providers or change agents in the context of their work in social service organizations. SWK 668 Organizations/Social Administrative Practice 2 This course builds on the theoretical knowledge base of SWK 667 and is intended to provide students with opportunities to apply those critical skills used in supervision and management. These skills are intended as a base for the beginning administrator. This course expects the student to develop specific skills in budgeting and personnel/human resource functions (e.g., recruitment, selection, hiring, training, and evaluation). Prerequisite: SWK 667 SWK 669 Organizations/Social Administrative Practice 3 This course explores strategies and methods for working effectively with other service agencies, legislative and policy-making bodies, regulatory agencies, and advocacy groups. Prerequisite: SWK 668 SWK 675 Planning and Policy Practice 1 This course examines theoretical and conceptual ideas concerning human services, their rationale in a market economy, and their relationship to public policy. Students will gain knowledge and build skills in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of services at various levels of system design, taking into account organizational, financial, and technological dimensions within an analytical framework of defined need and demand for service. SWK 676 Planning and Policy Practice 2 This course examines theories, concepts, and analytical frameworks for analyzing policy. It addresses the role of economics, demographics, politics, values, and other relevant factors on policy design and implementation. The course emphasizes the analysis of selected existing or proposed policies in such areas as social insurance (e.g., Social Security), welfare reform, health care, long-term care, and tax policy including tax expenditures. Prerequisite: SWK 675 Both Concentrations SWK 699 General Elective Students in both concentrations complete at least one general elective course for graduation. The following are examples of elective offerings that are rotated each year: • Parent and Professional Planning • Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Aging • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Social Work Clinical Practice • Spirituality and Social Work Practice • Empowerment of Services Users in Mental Health We also offer short-term electives abroad: Exploring Human Services in International Settings (examples include Mexico, Slovenia, Namibia, South Africa, India, China, and Hong Kong) SWK 698 Independent Study Students may propose to complete an independent study project. Such directed study projects provide the opportunity for a student to explore a particular area of social work. A faculty sponsor must be secured and a proposal submitted to the Social Work Department. On rare occasions, an independent study may be used to satisfy the general elective requirement. Prior approval is required. Courses that are part of the required curriculum may not be taken as independent study. Fieldwork and Field Placement Social work education goes beyond the classroom. Through the field experience, we expect that students will demonstrate skills to bridge theory and practice. Collaborative efforts between the student, the field agency, and the MSW program are essential to successful learning. The foundation of the practice includes: • ethical, competent professional practice; • problem solving within a systems framework and strengths perspective; • use of advanced practice theories in Multicultural Clinical Practice or Program Development, Policy, and Administration settings; • evaluation of the effectiveness of program or practice activities; • an understanding of, and respect for, diverse peoples and cultures; • responsibility and service to the local and global community in the interest of social justice; and • a commitment to oppose oppression of all forms. Field Education Format Under the instruction and supervision of professionally-trained, MSW-level, and program-approved field instructors, foundation students will spend a minimum of 920 hours in two field practica. Advanced standing students will spend a minimum of 500 hours in one field practicum. The foundation practicum is spread over at least two trimesters (fall and winter) and the concentration practicum is spread over the entire academic year. Both practica are concurrent with enrollment in integrative field seminars, as well as other MSW coursework. The fieldwork education of the MSW program is divided into two components: Foundation Practicum The foundation practicum, or generalist practicum, puts emphasis on developing competence as a professional generalist social worker. It requires a minimum of 420 hours and is completed by students admitted at the foundation level. Students spend an average of 15 hours per week during the fall and winter trimesters in this practicum. Concentration Practicum The concentration practicum places emphasis on advanced practice skills and leadership qualities related to the chosen concentration. It requires a minimum of 500 hours and is completed by all students, including those admitted with advanced standing. Students spend an average of 18 hours per week during the fall, winter, and spring trimesters in this practicum. Process for Field Practicum Selection Field practica begin in the fall. Selection begins the previous spring in collaboration with two other Twin Cities MSW programs. Students attend the student field orientation before beginning their search. Students also have the opportunity to attend a Field Fair held jointly by Augsburg College and the University of Minnesota School of Social Work. At this Field Fair, students are able to meet a large number of agencies and potential field instructors. Practicum selection involves interviews at approved sites, arranged by the student, and a matching process conducted collaboratively by the field coordinators at the three MSW programs in the Twin Cities. In some instances, students can petition to complete a field practicum at an agency not on the approved list or at their place of employment. Students who wish to do so work with the MSW field coordinator for such proposals. Field Practicum Settings The Augsburg field faculty are committed to the success of each student in a stimulating and challenging field practicum. Our current list of approved field sites includes agencies in the following areas of practice: • family and children • child welfare • mental health • crisis intervention • senior resources • family social policy • health and human services • corrections and probation • public and independent schools • youth services • hospitals • • • • • • • • • • • • • • developmental disabilities American Indian family services chronic and persistent mental illness chemical dependency court services immigrant, migrant, refugee services victims of torture faith-based social services neighborhood services legislation advocacy housing services-employment services community organizing research centers Dual Degree in Social Work and Theology (MSW/MA, Theology) Augsburg College’s Department of Social Work (Minneapolis) and Luther Seminary (St. Paul) offer a dual degree: Master of Social Work and Master of Arts in theology (MSW/MA). The dual degree has been approved by both institutions and by the Council on Social Work Education. If you are interested in combining a Master of Social Work with a Master of Arts in theology, we recommend you begin with the Luther Seminary program first and identify yourself as seeking the dual degree. For application information visit the Luther Seminary website at http://www.luthersem.edu/admissions/. Purpose The dual degree focuses on meeting the educational interests of people planning to serve the spiritual and social needs of families, individuals, and communities in both rural and urban settings. Both institutions have a commitment to social and economic justice and to teamwork in the pastoral and human service settings. This joint program is ecumenical in its admission policies as well as its academic outlook. Objectives Three primary objectives have been established: • To educate practitioners in social work and ministry who can combine the values, skills, and knowledge of both theology and social work to serve people in more holistic ways. • To generate the partnerships necessary to serve the complex needs of communities and people experiencing transition in their lives, including the change of government support for those in poverty. • To prepare practitioners to seek the strengths of interdisciplinary teams in the human service and pastoral settings. Enrollment We recommend that dual degree students enroll in Luther Seminary courses first. Upon completion of this first year of courses, students then enroll in Augsburg courses for a second and third year (fulltime). In the dual degree, Luther Seminary offers nine courses which can be completed in one year if pursued full-time. The remaining Luther Seminary course requirements are waived and replaced by the Augsburg MSW curriculum. At Augsburg, dual degree students complete the entire MSW curriculum with the exception of the general elective. Course Format and Field Practicum Luther Seminary courses are offered on a weekday schedule and Augsburg College courses are offered on a weekend schedule. The field practicum is incorporated into the Augsburg curriculum and will be in a setting reflective of the dual degree program, such as congregational multidisciplinary teams, nursing home chaplaincy, and social work teams. The Luther Seminary program and the Augsburg College program are both full-time; it is not feasible for students to do both programs simultaneously. Summary of MSW/MA Theology Dual Degree Requirements • Luther Seminary full courses: 9 • Augsburg College full courses: 12—advanced standing, 17—foundation (elective is met at Luther) • MSW field practicum course credit hours: See guidelines under field practicum. • MSW portfolio or summative evaluation project Admission to the Dual Degree It is the responsibility of dual degree students to be aware of application deadlines for both institutions. Applicants must apply to each program separately. Please note: admission to one institution does not guarantee admission to the other. To request the catalog and application materials, you must contact each program separately. Financial aid is also a separate process. Dual Degree in Social Work and Business Administration (MSW/MBA) Augsburg College offers a dual MSW/MBA degree in social work and business administration. Students enrolled in the dual degree program learn to create better managed and financially sound service organizations to serve diverse communities, both locally and globally. Purpose Many social service agencies today require that agency managers combine financial and business expertise with social work practice and policy formation. The MSW/MBA dual degree prepares graduates to function in a workplace that demands the delivery of quality services with increasingly limited resources. Concentration The MSW/MBA dual degree includes an accelerated third year of study for MSW students who elect the Program Development, Policy, and Administration (PDPA) concentration. In this macro practice concentration, students learn to affect positive change in social service systems through their work with communities, organizations, and social policy makers. Prior Augsburg MSW graduates who have completed the necessary PDPA coursework are eligible to return to complete the MBA portion of the dual degree. Schedule Years 1 and 2 (September through June) MSW classes meet on alternating weekends—Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, and Saturday afternoons. Year 3 (12–16 months) MBA classes meet primarily one night per week. The MBA program includes a summer term. Curriculum • • • 18 full MSW courses for foundation students or 13 full MSW courses for advanced standing students Either 920 hours (foundation) or 500 hours (advanced standing) MSW field practicum experience The MSW summative evaluation project may be accepted by the MBA program as partial fulfillment of the MBA project. • Complete a minimum of 8 MBA courses for students who completed the MSW degree 2002 and beyond; complete a minimum of 9 MBA courses for students who completed the MSW degree prior to 2002 For more information regarding the MBA coursework required for the MSW/MBA dual degree, see the Master of Business Administration section. MBA Admission MSW/MBA dual degree applicants may apply to both programs at the same time or admitted MSW students may wait to apply to the MBA program until their concentration year. The GMAT is waived for MSW/MBA dual degree applicants. MBA application materials include: completed application, two short essays, an updated resume, two letters of recommendation, and a personal interview with the MBA program director. Admission to one program does not guarantee admission to the other. Admission to MSW The Augsburg College MSW program promotes the widest possible diversity within its student population.

Advanced standing applicants may seek waivers for the following eligible MSW courses: Human Behavior and the Social Environment, History of Social Welfare Policy, Practice Methods 1 and 2, and Integrative Field Seminars 1 and 2 (which include 420 field practicum hours). Advanced standing applicants must offer an equivalent BSW course for each with a grade of B (3.0) or higher in order to receive a waiver. Academic Policies Academic Achievement Students must maintain at least a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the MSW program. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If the cumulative grade point average again falls below 3.0, the student may be dismissed from the program. Students are retained in the program who can: • maintain expected grade point average (3.0 or higher); • complete course requirements of the program and field placement in a timely manner; • complete the program within four years; and • abide by the department’s Standards for Social Work Education and the NASW Code of Ethics. No more than two courses with a grade of 2.5 will count toward the degree. Courses with a grade below 2.5 must be repeated. No more than two courses can be repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are counted in the grade point average. If a student receives a grade below 2.5 in a field course, the MSW director will initiate a Level III review, as outlined in section 3.2 of the Standards for Social Work Education. Evaluation of Student Field Performance The criteria for evaluating field performance can be found in the MSW Field Manual, which is distributed to newly-admitted students at our field orientation prior to seeking the field placement. Four-Year Limit All students are required to finish the degree within four years of matriculation. See the Academic Programs and Policies section of this catalog for policy on continuation of coursework or final thesis. Leave of Absence Students who interrupt their program enrollment must request a leave of absence through the MSW program in order to maintain their admitted status. The request must be made in writing. A leave of absence typically requires a full year away from the program in order to return to classes in sequence. Prerequisite Courses All foundation courses are prerequisite to the concentration courses. Students may not enroll in the concentration courses until successfully completing all foundation courses. In addition there are individual courses that are prerequisite to other individual courses in the MSW curriculum. These are listed in the MSW Handbook, which is distributed to newly-admitted students. Program Costs In addition to tuition fees, MSW students can expect to purchase textbooks, a facilities fee, and student liability insurance when in a field placement. There may also be additional fees associated with short-term electives abroad. Graduate Scholarship Search Tips As you may know, graduate students do not have access to many of the financial aid opportunities open to undergraduates. Because of this, we strongly encourage you to spend time doing your own independent research into graduate funding available locally, nationally, and internationally. The simplest way to begin a search for graduate funding is to look online. There are many scholarship search engines online.

The Augsburg Master of Social Work program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). MSW Forum All MSW students are invited to participate in the student-run organization, the MSW Forum. The purpose of the forum is to facilitate communication between social work students and the social work department, as well as to provide the opportunity for student participation in department governance, curriculum development, and program improvements. As such, forum members are invited to attend Social Work Department meetings via representatives. The forum has historically been volunteer based. Any student may serve on the forum, provided the student can make a commitment to attend the meetings and share in the efforts. The MSW director and MSW program coordinator also serve on the forum. Other faculty may be invited as permanent members or as guests. Past forum members established these guidelines: • provide an avenue for students to share and discuss ideas and/or concerns related to the MSW educational experience with the Social Work Department • encourage constructive dialogue among students, faculty, and department and College administrators • make recommendations to the department regarding program improvements • receive and give feedback on expectations of faculty, students, and the College • plan and coordinate MSW student events, lectures, discussions • organize social action projects.

Show more rationally and intuitively the people who might be their followers, and the society in which they are embedded. They had better comprehend the values of our common culture, past and present, know how our political and economic systems work, and understand how and why science has changed the world. ... Leaders need specialists as advisers and staff members. But leaders themselves are generalists . ... At higher levels of leadership they cannot achieve their fall potential without considerable breadth of knowledge. Only this way can they shape the contexts for decisions where expert knowledge is used. - John Gardner A-UGSBURG C•O•L•L•E•G•E Graduate Programs Office Box 144 2211 Riverside Avenue Minneapolis, MN 55454 (612) 330-1786 malinfo@augsburg.edu % LE OF CONTENTS Introduction .............................. ...... ...... ....... ........ ... ...................... 3 Leadership Development Model ................................... .............. .4 Curriculum Design ....................................................................... 5 Thesis/Leadership Application Project Option ...................... 5 Non-Thesis Option .............. .................. ........ ....... .................. 5 Course Descriptions ............... .......... ......................................... .... 7 Admission Requirements and Procedures .................................. 10 International Applicants ................................ .... ............... ........... 11 Evaluation Standards ........................... ...... ....... .... ... .... ............... 12 Student Rights ............................. ....................... ... ...................... 12 Attendance Policy .................... .. ........................ ...... ................... 13 Academic Policies .................................... .................. .............. .. 13 Student Support Services .................. .................. ....... ....... .. ........ 14 Library ............................... ......................................................... 14 Accreditation and Affiliations ....................... ............................. 14 Fee and Payment Information ..................................................... 15 Financial Aid .............................................................................. 16 About Augsburg .............................................................. ............ 18 Campus Location .............. ......................................................... 19 Campus Map ........................ ..................... .. ................................ 19 MAL Faculty ............................... .............................. .. ........... .... 20 This catalog was current at the time of publication. It is subject to change without notice. Augsburg does nor discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sexual or affectional preference, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex, status with regard to public assissrance, or disability as required by Tirle IX of the 1972 Education Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, in its admission policies, educational programs, activities and employment practices. ~TRODUCTION Developing Leaders for Organizations and the Community The Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program responds to the leadership development needs of both profit and not-for-profit organizations. While different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the following qualities: a vision that is ethically and morally responsible, extending beyond immediate concerns; an understanding of how change occurs and affects the immediate environment; a sensitivity to the complex problems organizations face and an ability to achieve solutions consistent with an organization's mission; the ability to motivate and inspire individuals and groups to work toward a common goal; and the ability to effectively represent the organization both internally and externally. The MAL program provides a means by which individuals may discover and refine these and other abilities fundamental to effective leadership. Accommodating the FullTime Work Schedule Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL program is based on the assumption that the students who enroll are career-oriented, self-disciplined and well- motivated individuals, seeking a balance of classroom experience, group interaction and individual study. Most courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for discussion and dialogue. Classes meet on alternate Saturdays for threeand-one-half hours and alternate Thursday evenings for one-andone-half hours. Community of Learners Essential to the goals of the MAL program is participation in a community of learners gathered together on the Augsburg campus. This community is enriched by the students with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate community interaction, students are encouraged to make use of the Augsburg library, computer labs and Christensen Center. Individual Professional Development An important component of the MAL program is the professional assessment. The assessment can help students to identify leadership skills and preferred work and learning styles. Nationally recognized test instruments are used; based on the results, students are encouraged to create personalized goals and plans to strengthen areas that may require further development. MAL Practica are designed to meet student needs in areas such as interpersonal communication, approaches to career change, coping with workplace problems, time management and other issues related to leadership and professional development. ~ADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that 1) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes productivity within and beyond the organization, and 3) works toward progress for the individual and the organization. AUGSBURG Leadership Development Model, that serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg's model of leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance and refine these capabilities within the individual. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to persuade and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes is a broad range of abilities and awareness, outlined in the Leadership Sense of Vision / Ethical • Social awareness • Environmental awareness • Tolerance of religious and philosophical differences • Appreciation of situational complexity Orientation Toward Action ~ ~ Creative Facility for Persuasion / Communicative •Long-term perspective • Flexibility • Adaptability • Innovativeness • Effective listener • Effective speaker • Effective writer • Diplomatic ability • Effective team member • Interpersonal sensitivity "" Culturally Aware • Appreciation for cultural differences • World-view perspective • Tolerance of individual differences ' Risk Assumptive •Curiosity • Achievement motivation • Self-esteem Decisive • Self-confidence • Analytical ability • Ability to think critically • Understanding of research • Ability to manage conflict (This model was developed by Augsburg Faculty Graduate Advisory Committee, 1985-87.) ~RICULUM DESIGN There are two ways to complete the MAL degree. In the Thesis/Leadership Application Project (Thesis/LAP) Option, students complete a thesis or a major leadership application project and 10.5 credits. In the Non-Thesis Option, students must complete 11 credits, two papers, but no thesis. Augsburg uses a course system rather than a credit system in its curriculum. An Augsburg course is equivalent to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each course includes two or more liberal arts disciplines, encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners. Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity. These techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires welldeveloped integrative abilities. Thesis/LAP Option Students who select the Thesis/LAP Option are required to develop and carry out an indepth study of some aspect of leadership or of a leadershiprelated topic. This researchbased study gives the student the opportunity to "tie together" what has been learned from the study of leadership and courserelated activities. The principal distinction between the Thesis and the Leadership Application Project lies in their underlying orientation. A Thesis has a more theoretical orientation, while the Leadership Application Project is based on practical application. Both require similar rigor and preparation. For either alternative, the student must register for ML 592, 593 and 594. Differences between these two options will be explored in ML 514 Research Methods and in ML 593 Leadership Research Seminar I. Students who do not complete their Thesis or Leadership Application Project while enrolled in ML 594 Leadership Research Seminar II are required to pay a continuation fee. Non-Thesis Option An alternative to the thesis is the successful completion of two major papers, as described below. The first of these papers will be written in conjunction with ML 580. A student must get a grade of 3.5 or higher on this major paper to complete the Non-Thesis requirement. If the grade for the paper is below 3.5, the student will revise the paper WuRRICULUM DESIGN Elective Courses for Both Options: (at least 7.0 course credits) and submit it to the MAL faculty panel for review and approval. The second paper will be written while enrolled in ML 597 NonThesis Independent Project. A student must get a grade of 3.5 or higher on this paper; it will then be submitted to the MAL faculty panel for review and approval. The judgment of the MAL faculty panel is the final one. The independent research projects approved each year will be presented in a special annual colloquium. All courses are valued at 1.0 credit, unless otherwise designated. ML 592 Thesis/LAP Consultation (0.5 course) ML 521 Methods of Critical Thought (Note: If students wish to (ML 592 is taken in conjunction with ML 594.) ML 530 Ethics in ML 593 Leadership Research Seminar I (0.5 course) ML 531 The Dynamics of ML 594 Leadership Research Seminar II (0.5 course) ML 535 Organizational Theory and Leadership (ML 592, 593 and 594 are to be taken in a student's last two consecutive terms or after the student has completed at least five electives and ML 510.)

NOTE: Additional information may be required, as requested by Augsburg College, to accurately evaluate educational credentials. Furthermore, supplemental information may be needed to issue an 1-20 or J-1 for students admitted to the MAL program. Information requested for the 1-20 or J-1 will not be used to make an admission decision. ~ALUATION STANDARDS Evaluation of academic performance in the MAL program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale with these definitions: 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence. 3.5 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards. 2.5 2;0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 Achieves the minimum passing standard. Performance below basic course standards. Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course). p Achieves at or above the 2.0 level (not computed in grade point average). N Does not meet minimum course standards (no credit and non-punitive - not computed in grade point average). w Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline for dropping without notation on the record I Incomplete grade given when student is unable to complete course requirements for reasons beyond the student's control. (To receive an incomplete, a student must file a petition with the Graduate Programs Office stating reasons for the request, the plan and date for removing the incomplete grade, the signature of the instructor and any other necessary documentation.) Courses not offered on the numbered grading system are noted in the course descriptions in this catalog as being graded on PIN basis. In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. No more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will count toward the degree. No more than two courses with a grade of or below 2.5 can be repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are counted in the grade point average. ~DENT RIGHTS The College has adopted a statement of student rights and responsibilities and provides due process in matters of disciplinary action, grievances and grade appeal. Students who wish to identify appropriate procedures for complaints should contact the Vice President for Student Affairs (330-1160). The College operates in compliance with the Family Rights and Privacy Act and Title IX. Students have the right to inspect all official records that pertain to them and that are maintained in the Registrar's Office and the Placement Office (except where a waiver of access has been signed) and to challenge inaccurate or misleading information. Students have a right to experience education free from discrimination. A Because leadership issues are presented, discussed and analyzed in the classroom, regular attendance is highly important and should be considered a responsibility, not only to one's self, but to one's classmates and course instructor. TTENDANCE POLICY Irregular attendance may, at the discretion of the instructor, adversely affect one's grade. A cADEMIC POLICIES Academic Probation and Dismissal Policies Credit for Prior Education Enrollment Policy/ Leaves of Absence Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If a student receives a grade of N or 0.0 in a course, the student must petition successfully with the MAL Advisory Committee before being allowed to continue in the program. A plan for the student to follow would be outlined at that time. If a second grade of Nor 0.0 is received, the student may be dismissed from the program by the MAL Advisory Committee. Students may also be dismissed by the MAL Advisory Committee for behavior detrimental to the program, such as a gross violation of college policy (as published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would occur only after established procedures were followed. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the courses in the MAL program, it is unlikely that courses taken elsewhere may be substituted for a particular course in the curriculum. Students may petition the MAL program director for approval of any variation in the curriculum including the transfer of credit. Transfer credits will be evaluated on an individual basis. The only courses that will be considered for transfer credit are those earned from accredited colleges and universities, whose course content is comparable to those in the MAL program. No more than two courses will be accepted for transfer credit. Students may take either one or two courses per trimester. Enrolling in two courses per trimester enables a student to complete the course work in the program within two years. All students are required to complete all components of the program within five years. Extensions beyond five years will be considered on the basis of petition to the MAL Advisory Committee. Students who leave the program for more than one trimester must request a leave of absence in writing from the MAL program director. A leave of absence may be granted for one calendar year. Time spent on an official leave of absence will not count toward the five year deadline for degree completion. Credit and Contact Hours Each full-credit graduate course in the MAL program is the equivalent of four semester credits or six quarter credits. Students meet in class a total of 31.5 hours and are responsible for a significant amount of individual study and preparation. Last Day to Withdraw from Class The last date on which students may withdraw from a class and receive a "W" on their records is published annually in the MAL Calendar. ~DENT SUPPORT SERVICES Academic advising from the MAL director for program planning is available. As students approach the capstone experience, they select thesis or project advisers to guide them throughout the completion of their program. Graduate program staff are also available to help students with nonacademic advising issues. and a career-search plan are available through the Career Services Office, (612) 330-1162. Professional assessment is administered through the Graduate Programs Office. Work experience related to a student's field of specialization is possible through the Cooperative Education Office, (612) 330-1148.

I . Developing Leaders for Organizations and the Community The Master of Arts in Leadership responds to the leadership development needs of profit and not-for-profit organizations. While different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the following qualities: • a vision which is ethically and morally responsible, extending beyond immediate concerns; • an understanding of how change occurs and affects the immediate environment; • a sensitivity to the complex problems organizations face, and an ability to achieve solutions consistent with an organization's mission; • the ability to motivate and inspire individuals and groups to work toward a common goal; and • the ability to effectively represent the organization both internally and externally. The Master of Arts in Leadership provides a means by which individuals may discover and refine these and other abilities and awareness fundamental to effective leadership. Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule The Master of Arts in Leadership program is designed .. . .. .... to meet the needs and preferences of working adults. The program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll are employed, self-disciplined and well-motivated individuals who seek a balance of classroom experience, group interaction and individual study. Each course is, therefore, divided into periods of study, group efforts and class preparation. To accommodate this format for learning, each class meets on alternate Saturdays for three-and-one-half hours and alternate Thursday evenings for one-and-one-half hours. Leadership Development Model . • t . The Master of Arts in Leadership program promotes leadership as a process which I) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes productivity within and beyond the organization, and 3) works toward progress for the individual and the organization. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to persuade, and the ability to direct action. ... ..

' •I ~TRODUCTION Underlying these attributes is a broad range of abilities and awareness. These abilities and awarenesses, outlined in the diagram on page 5, serve as specific outcomes for the Master of Arts in Leadership. Augsburg's model of leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance and refine these capabilities within the individual. Community of Learners . .. ~ ' ; ..,..•'•· , - .. ', I. ·• .. ·.. ~. .•. • .. . ' ·• ·'·" . , Essential to the goals of the Master of Arts in Leadership is participation in a community of learners gathered together on the Augsburg campus. Learning is enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement for active participation both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of men and women who bring to the program a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages graduate students to make use of college facilitates such as the library, computer labs and the Christensen Center; to take the opportunity to share meals and coffee breaks; to participate in optional lunch time seminars; and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations, and athletic events. Individual Professional Development Master of Arts in Leadership students enroll in a half course called Leadership Practicum. Students are required to enroll in this professional assessment and development course for six tenns during their graduate work at Augsburg. Upon completion of the entire practicum, students receive a half course credit. In each tenn, specific activities related to the practicum are scheduled. Early in the program a major component of this practicum is a full-day professional assessment to determine students' abilities and potential relative to each of the outcomes of the Leadership Development Model (see page 5). Assessment instruments include paper and pencil exercises, and simulation and group experiences. Following the assessment, students meet individually with a trained assessor who provides guidance in personal goal-setting and in the creation of a professional development plan or "blueprint". Augsburg has contracted with Personnel Decisions, Inc. (PDI) to organize and facilitate the practicums. PDI is a professional consulting firm providing the full range of psychological and human resource services to enhance individual and organizational effectiveness. The practicums work on a rotating series of six, one per trimester. The practicums are designed to meet the needs of the students in the following areas: effective persuasion, communication techniques, identifying and defining problems, decision making, interpersonal skills required for leadership and other professional development topics. Each practicum will focus on a specific topic and use mini-lectures, small group exercises and experiential learning. Students are required to participate in the practicum workshop with PDI during the same term they participate in the professional assessment. • r • ;·, .._.,.

Thesis/Leadership Application Project Requirement At, or near, the completion of the course work for the Master of Arts in Leadership program, students are required to develop and carry out a study of some aspect of leadership or leadership related topic. This research based study affords the student the opportunity to "tie together" what has been learned from the study of leadership in the course work, course related activities and the practicum sessions. Students in the Master of Arts in Leadership program have the option to do either a Thesis or a Leadership Application Project for completion of the Master of Arts in Leadership degree. The decision as to which of these capstone alternatives is selected depends on the interests and orientation of the student. Some students express a theoretical interest in the study of leadership and identify topics which lend themselves to a more traditional thesis project. Other students express interest in a more applied approach to leadership and wish to pursue investigations which are not appropriate for more traditional thesis topics. Students with more practical topics in mind are likely to select the Leadership Application Project. Both the Thesis and the Leadership Application Project should be seen as the culmination of the Master of Arts in Leadership program, offering participants the opportunity to either investigate some aspect of leadership in depth or explore the application of what has been studied. The principal distinction between these two options lies in their underlying orientation. The Thesis will have a more theoretical orientation, while the Leadership Application Project will be based on a more practical applied orientation. The difference between these two options will be explored in more detail in the ML 514 Research Methods course, taken during the first year of the student's program. ·~ .

Leaders need specialists as advisers and staff members. But leaders themselves are generalists ...

While different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the following qualities: .& a vision which is ethically and morally responsible, extending beyond immediate concerns; ... an understanding of how change occurs and affects the immediate environment; .& a sensitivity to the complex problems organizations face, and an ability to achieve solutions consistent with an organization's mission; ... the ability to motivate and inspire individuals and groups to work toward a common goal; and .& the ability to effectively represent the organization both internally and externally. The Master of Arts in Leadership provides a means by which individuals aspiring to enhance their leadership skills may discover and refine these and other abilities and awarenesses fundamental to effective leadership. Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule The Master of Arts in Leadership program is designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults. The program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll are employed, self-disciplined and well-motivated individuals who seek a balance of classroom experience, group interaction and individual study. Each course is, therefore, divided into periods of study, group efforts and class preparation. To accommodate this format for learning, each class meets on alternate Saturdays for three-and-one-half hours and alternate Thursday evenings for one-and-one-half hours. Leadership Development Model The Master of Arts in Leadership program promotes leadership as a process which 1) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes productivity within and beyond the organization, and 3) works toward progress. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to persuade and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes is a broad range of abilities and awarenesses. These abilities and awarenesses, outlined in the diagram on page 7, serve as specific outcomes for the Master of Arts in Leadership. Augsburg's model of leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance and refine these capabilities within the individual. Community of Learners Essential to the goals of the Master of Arts in Leadership is participation in a community of learners. Learning can be enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement for active participation both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of men and women who bring to the program a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages graduate students to make use of college facilities such as the library, meeting rooms and the Christensen Center; to take the opportunity to share meals and coffee breaks; to participate in optional lunch time seminars; and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Leadership Practicum Master of Arts in Leadership students enroll in a half course called "Leadership Practicum." Students are required to enroll in this professional assessment and development course for six terms during their graduate work at Augsburg. Upon completion of the entire practicum, students receive a half course credit. In each term, specific activities related to the practicum are scheduled. Early in the program a major component of this practicum is a full-day professional assessment to determine students' abilities and potential relative to each of the outcomes of the Leadership Development Model (see page 5). Assessment instruments include paper and pencil exercises and simulation and group experiences. Following the assessment students meet individually with a trained assessor who provides guidance in personal goal-setting and in the creation of a professional development plan or "blueprint." In subsequent terms "Leadership Practicum" includes workshops designed to meet the needs of the students in the following areas: communication skills, self-assessment measures, group processes, and other professional development topics identified by graduate students and staff.

Leaders need specialists as advisers and staff members. But leaders themselves are generalists ...

Learning can be enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement for active participation both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of men and women who bring to the program a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages graduate students to make use of college facilities such as the library, meeting rooms and college center; to take the opportunity of having shared meals and coffee breaks; to participate in optional lunchtime seminars; and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. leadership Practicum . I· Master of Arts in Leadership students enroll in a half course called "Leadership Practicum." Students are required to enroll in this professional assessment and development course for six terms during their graduate work at Augsburg.

Early in the program a major component of this practicum is a fullday professional assessment to determine students' abilities and potential relative to each of the outcomes of the Leadership Development Model (see page 7) . Assessment instruments include paper and pencil exercises and simulation and group experiences. Following the assessment students meet individually with a trained assessor who provides guidance in personal goal setting and in the creation of a professional development plan or "blueprint:' In subsequent terms "Leadership Practicum" includes workshops designed to meet the needs of the students in the following areas: communication skills, self-assessment measures, group processes, and other professional development topics identified by graduate students and staff. "Leadership Practicum'' concludes with a final assessment followed by an individual meeting with a trained assessor. The Master of Arts in Leadership program is composed of 12 courses. Each course unites two or more liberal arts disciplines, ncournge pursuit of the designated outcomes, and uses a variety of learning t clrniqu app ropriate to adult learners.

Not more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will count toward the degree. Not more than two courses with a grade below 2.0 can be repeated . Only the credits and grades earned the second time are counted in the grade point average. Alcademic Policies Academic Probation and Dismissal Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If a student receives a grade of Nin a course, the student must petition successfully with the Graduate Program Committee before being permitted to continue in the program.

Before registering for Independent Study a student should obtain the approvalof the responsible department and faculty member; approval forms are available from the Summer School Office. COURSES MARKED with a n asterisk (*) are offered subject to adequate demand. When registering f o r such a course, a student should, if possible, list other courses as alternate choices.

On behalf of the entire college community, I welcome you to Augsburg College. It is a pleasure to introduce the College to prospective students and to use this opportunity to welcome new and returning students. L%.- B - - Augsburg has earned a reputation as an affordable, quality liberal arts college of the church. The mission of the College, its academic programs and its metropolitan location attract a wide variety of students, a diversity which is actively encouraged. Whetherfrom a small town, a large city or another country, all students enjoy the sense of community here at Augsburg. The College continues to grow, building on a tradition of excellence in its programs, faculty, students and facilities. We offer quality educational opportunities in the "real world" and have the resources and location to make this possible. I invite you to become part of this tradition of excellence Augsburg is an exciting and challenging place to prepare for your future. I look forward to meeting you on campus. Sincerely, Charles S. Anderson HISTORY OF WEEKEND COLLEGE In fall of 1982 Augsburg began Weekend College under the directorship of Dr. Rick Thoni. At that time Weekend College had three majors, 69 students, and offered eight courses in the first term. Today with more than 1,000 students and 13 majors, Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest program of its kind in the state. Faculty in Weekend College are full-time Augsburg professors as well as adjunct professionals from the work world. The Weekend College student body is involved in student government, and Weekend College students participate in academic and extracurricular activities such as the student newspaper, travel seminars, and the Weekend College Commission. Augsburg Weekend College continues to develop to meet the changing needs of the adult and nontraditional student of today. PURPOSE Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative to adults who desire college experience but who work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts. MISSION OF THE COLLEGE Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, "Education for Service," and to the Mission of the College: To nurture future leaders of sewice in the world by providing high quality educational opportunities which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community. THEADULTAS LEARNER A COMMUNITYOF LEARNERS Augsburg Weekend College is designed to meet the needs and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll in Weekend College will be mature, self-disciplined and well-motivated adult learners who seek a balance of classroom experience and individualized study. Each course is therefore divided into periods of concentrated on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation. To accommodate this format for learning, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three and one-half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon. Each course selected by the student involves commitment to one of these four class periods. Laboratory sections or additional class hours may be scheduled during the week. Weekend College students may take from one to four courses each term. Essential to the goals of Augsburg's Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the student is active in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement for involvement both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of both men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages Weekend College students to make use of college facilities such as the library and the Christensen Center, to take the opportunity of having shared meals and coffee breaks, to participate in optional lunch-time seminars, and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. 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 their teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are involved in social, professional and a variety of research activities, but see these activities as supporting their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program which introduces them to current thought in many fields but especially in teaching techniques and theories. Augsburg's size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. History Augsburg College and Seminary was founded in 1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. In 1963, the name officially became Augsburg College when the Seminary left campus as part of the Lutheran Free Church merger with the American Lutheran Church. Location Augsburg's 23-acre campus is in the heart of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, only blocks from downtown Minneapolis and the intersection of Interstate Highways 94 and 35W. Adjacent to the campus are the Riverside E d u c a t i o n a l P r o g r a m L 4 Medical Center, the West Bank campus of the University of Minnesota and the Mississippi River parkways. Campus Augsburg's campus consists of 15 major buildings which include student housing towers, the College Center, main academic and administrative halls, the Library, Music Hall and the Foss Center for Worship, Drama and Communication. Accessibility We have made a major effort to become one of the most accessible campuses in the region. Our skyway-tunnel system lets you reach any of 10 major buildings without going outside. In addition to building changes, we have a student-run program to increase awareness and provide extra help for students with disabilities. Church Affiliation Augsburg is a college of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Although a strong plurality of students are Lutheran, 20 percent represent other Protestant denominations and 21 percent represent the Roman Catholic Church. Several other affiliations are represented among students and faculty. POLICIES It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sexual or affectional preference, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or status with regard to public assistance or disability, as required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, in its admissions policies, education programs, activities and employment practices. Inquiries regarding compliance may be directed to the coordinators listed on pages 249 of the 1994-1996 Augsburg catalog, or to the Director of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, Bremer Tower, Seventh Place at Minnesota Street, St. Paul, MN 55101. The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges. ACCREDITATION AND MEMBERSHIPS Augsburg College is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (Secondary and Elementary).

We are a member of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC), Lutheran Education Council in North America and Minnesota Private College Council. Augsburg College is registered with the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board. Registration is not an endorsement of the institution. Registration does not mean that credits earned at the institution can be transferred to other institutions or that the quality of the educational programs would meet the standards of every student, educational institution or employer. A d m i s s i o n s I n f o r m a t i o n â¢ i p : ; 21 ,,, , d m i s s i o n s Application for Admission Complete the application form and return it along'with the $20.00 nonrefundable application fee to the Augsburg Weekend College Admissions Office. Transcripts Have official transcripts from all previously attended postsecondary institutions sent directly to the Augsburg Weekend College Office. Applicants with less than one year of previous transferable college work should also have their official high school transcript sent. The G.E.D. test certificate may be presented instead of the high school transcript. Additional Information If there is personal information that may have affected the applicant's previous academic performance, it may be included with the application or discussed personally with the Admissions Coordinator. Academic recommendations may be required by the Admissions Committee before an admissions decision is made. On occasion, the Admissions Committee may also defer on a candidate's admission until other information has been received. For example, test scores, results of current course work, additional letters of recommendation or writing samples may be requested by the Committee. If any additional credentials are needed, the Admissions Office will inform the candidate. Notification of Admissions Decision Augsburg College uses a "rolling" admissions plan. Students are notified of the admissions decision, usually within two weeks after the application file is complete and has been evaluated by' the Admissions Committee. Admission to a major, as well as admission to the College, is sometimes necessary. Please check with the Admissions Coordinator and major sections in this catalog to see if admission to the major is necessary. .I' I - . - Transfer Credit Augsburg College welcomes students who wish to transfer after completing work at other accredited colleges or universities. College credit is granted for liberal arts courses satisfactorily completed at accredited institutions. The College reserves the right not to grant credit for courses where it considers the work unsatisfactory, to grant provisional credit for work taken at unaccredited institutions and to require that certain courses be taken at Augsburg. Augsburg College limits transfer of credit from twoyear colleges once a student has reached junior status. If all transfer work has been taken at a two-year college, a maximum of 17 Augsburg courses, or 96 quarter credits, will be accepted toward the minimum of 33 Augsburg course credits required for the baccalaureate degree. Transfer Credit Evaluations An evaluation of transfer credit is completed by the Registrar upon admission for each degree-seeking student who is transferring previous college work. This evaluation indicates which of the student's courses have been accepted for transfer credit at Augsburg College, and how many course credits the student has earned in transfer. The Registrar also determines which transfer courses may be used to fulfill general education requirements, and may request that the student provide course descriptions, syllabi or other information to assist in this determination. For an evaluation of transfer courses toward major, minor or licensure requirements, the student should consult the appropriate department chair. Augsburg graduates and students who have not attended Weekend College for more than one academic year (three trimesters) must apply for readmission through the Registrar's Office. Students who have attended any other institution(s) during their absence from Augsburg must have an official transcript sent from each institution to the Registrar's Office.

The student account will be credited for that portion of tuition and room for which he or she was not enrolled. This calculation will use federal government guidelines. Federal Refund Policy Applies to returning Augsburg students who withdraw from all courses for the current term and receive Federal Title IV financial aid. (Federal Title IV financial aid includes the Pel Grant, SEO Grant, Perkins Loan, Stafford Loan and PLUS Loan.) Augsburg College is required by federal regulations to complete two refund calculations for students who have completed at least one full term at Augsburg and receive Title IV funds. Refunds will be based on the calculation which provides for the greatest refund of tuition, fees and room charges to the student's account and the greatest refund of financial aid dollars to the fund from which they were awarded.

Requests for this additional refund must be made to the Petition Committee and must be accompanied by a written report from the attending health professional stating the inability for, or inadvisability of, continued study. COMPANYTUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Students charged on a singlecourse fee basis who have completed payment of assessed tuition may choose between this partial tuition refund and a tuition-free course retake credit. A retake credit may be used only to repeat the same course from which the student withdrew. This choice between refund and tuition-free retake credit must be made at the time of the request to the Petition Committee, and the choice of monetary refund or retake credit may not be changed subsequently. Students should contact the Business Office to make payment arrangements using the company reimbursement payment plan Students should be aware that their choice of refund or retake credit may adversely affect their financial aid eligibility and that they bear full responsibility for the effects of their choices. Retake credits must be used within one academic year or the next time the course is offered if that is longer than one year. Many companies, agencies and corporations offer full or partial tuition assistance to employees who participate in work-related or degreeoriented college programs. Augsburg provides a payment plan by which employees may handle tuition reimbursement.

LOANASSISTANCE Federal Stafford Student Loans Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loan funds are obtained directly from a local lender or state i~gcacyin states which provide such programs. Subsidized Stafford loans are need-based loans which the federal government subsidizes by paying accrued interest while in school and during the grace period.

The borrower may choose to make payments while in school or may defer payments and allow interest to be capitalized (added to the balance of the loan). The interest rate for borrowers through the Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is variable with a cap of 8.25 percent and changes annually based on the 91-Day Treasury Bill. The following borrowing limits apply to the Stafford Loan program: Freshmen: $2,625 annually ($6,625 combined Subsidized & Unsubsidized Stafford) Sophomores: $3,500 annually ($7,500 combined Subsidized & Unsubsidized Stafford) Juniordseniors: $5,500 annually ($10,500 combined Subsidized & Unsubsidized Stafford) Aggregate maximum: $46,000 Note: Unsubsidized Stafford loans arc available c)nIy 10 independent students and dependent students who do not meet the criteria for the Subsidized Stafford loan.

Cooperative Education jobs are flexible and can begin and end anytime. Cooperative Education is not credited in and of itself, but a non-credit Cooperative Education transcript entry is available during the academic terms the student is employed. Cooperative Education students are encouraged to complete at least one Internship for credit in conjunction with their Cooperative Education participation. Cooperative Education is available to Augsburg students who have completed their freshman year and are in good academic standing. where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning objectives. A learning agreement plan negotiated with a faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlining the internship objectives, strategies and evaluation methods -is required.

Upper Division internships are numbered 399 and Lower Division internships are numbered 199. Information on registering for internships may be obtained from the Internship and Cooperative Education Office. Internships are available in all majors and can be taken during a Weekend College trimester or summer session. For extension of an internship beyond one term see the section of the catalog under grading.

(or 2.5 if receiving a Minnesota State Student Grant). REGISTRATION Registration consists of two parts: Scheduling (choosing classes) - A student reserves a space in classes for each trimester by completing a schedule form. Scheduling can be done in advance of payment. Payment (confirmation 01 schedule) - A student who has scheduled courses must then confirm that schedule by paying. Dates and deadlines for scheduling and payment are listed in the Weekend College Catalog Supplement. SOME IMPORTANT POINTS ON REGISTRATION: A student must be registered for a course in order to receive course credit for it. A student in Weekend College is considered fulltime if he or she registers for two courses per trimester Students are responsible for obtaining registration materials from the Weekend College Office. A student who has not paid or made partial payment prior to the first day of classes is not registered for their course(s). The student may register and confirm the first class weekend, but late fees will apply and their space in the course(s) will not be held. CROSSOVERPOLICY It is expected that Weekend College students complete their degree requirements in the Weekend College schedule; however, students may take a course in the day schedule as a crossover. A Weekend College student wishing to attend a day schedule course, or a day student wishing to attend a course in Weekend College, must schedule at the Office of the Registrar. Students taking courses in both the day program and Weekend College program schedules which total three or more courses on any given date will be charged comprehensive day program tuition. A Weekend College student taking one day schedule course and who has fewer than three total courses will be charged the current part-time tuition for day school. Students will also follow these guidelines: Students may cross over for one full course credit per term. The course selected must have space available. Weekend College students may not cross over to attend ACTC (Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities) courses, except when required by the major to do so. Courses cross-listed in the Weekend College schedule and the day schedule are not subject to cross over policy. Contact the Office of the Registrar for more information on the crossover policy. WITHDRAWING FROM COURSES Students may drop (also referred to as canceling or withdrawing) a particular course by completing a Cancel/Add/Change of Registration form at the Office of the Registrar before the deadline (published in the Weekend College Catalog Supplement). Dropping a class will result in a " W for withdrawal on an official academic record. Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this may result in a failing grade on their official academic record. The refund schedule is listed on page 14. Note: A student may withdraw after the refund schedule has expired. WITHDRAWAL FROM COLLEGE Students who do not intend to continue at Augsburg must file a Withdrawal from College form at the Office of the Registrar. This is not necessary if the student is taking a term off; however, Weekend College students who do not attend courses for three consecutive trimesters (excluding summer) are considered inactive and must file an Application for Re-admission form with the Office of the Registrar in order to resume their academic program. Students are responsible for keeping the Office of the Registrar informed of their mailing address. SYLLABUS A syllabus is a course outline written by the instructor which may include a course description and objectives, required text(s), course schedule, grading criteria and assignments. A syllabus is especially important in Weekend College because it advises the student of any assignment due the first class weekend. Students are responsible for picking up the course syllabus at the times published in The Weekender, the Weekend College informational publication. EVALUATIONAND GRADING Student achievement in courses is measured primarily by final examinations. Shorter tests, written papers, oral reports and other types of evaluation also are used. Most courses are offered with grading options - traditional grading on a 4.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Students who choose the P/N option are cautioned: In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a "C". P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation with distinction. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements on page 28. Note: Certain courses are offered on one grading system only (e.g., Lifetime Sports are graded P/N only). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made according to dates published each term. A fee is charged for any changes made after the published deadline for dropping without record notation. I n f o r m a t i o n . NUMERIC GRADES Numeric grades are used with these definitions: 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards 2.5 2.0 Meets basic standards for the course 1.0 Performance below basic course standards 0.5 0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. An incomplete grade (I) may be given only in the case of extreme emergency. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must receive permission of the instructor, and must file a form with the Registrar's Office stating the reasons for the request, the work required to complete the course, the plan and date for completing the work, and comments from the instructor. The necessary work must be completed in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following trimester. If the work is not completed by that date, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0. Internships, Indepzndent Studies and Directed Studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the option of not giving an X where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. A course in which a grade of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken and grades earned each term remain on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. AUDITINGCOURSES Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). The charge for auditing is listed in the current year's Weekend College Catalog Supplement. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor two weeks prior to the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W (Withdrawn). Courses for which transfer credit has been awarded may not be repeated for credit at Augsburg. This includes courses which are substantially similar despite different titles or emphases. GRADEPOINTAVERAGE The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: GPA = Total grade points divided by number of course credits attempted." * Using traditionally graded course credits only. CLASSIFICATION Student classifications are updated in August and at the end of the Fall Trimester. Sophomores - Seven course credits completed. Juniors - 16 course credits completed. Seniors -24 course credits completed. ACADEMIC PROGRESS, ~ROBAT~O AND N DISMISSAL The College requires that students maintain the following cumulative grade point averages (GPA): Freshman - A student who has taken fewer than seven credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.6 or higher Sophomore - A student who has taken fewer than 16 credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.7 or higher Junior - A student who has taken fewer than 24 credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.9 or higher Senior - A student who has taken 24 or more credits with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. It should be noted that a minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation with certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA. Students whose academic achievement falls below these guidelines will either be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term, will be continued on probation, or will be dismissed from the College. In addition, a freshman who receives two zero grades or a sophomore who receives three zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee on Student Standing. Evidence of the student's commitment to academic progress is the major consideration in deciding whether or not to dismiss a student. Those on probation who voluntarily withdraw from 'the College, as well as those who are dismissed, must have special permission to re-enroll. Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches the minimum level stated above. Students placed on probation as freshmen for having earned two zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earned additional zero grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Students placed on probation as sophomores for having earned three zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative GPA reaches 1.9. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he or she may appeal the decision within 10 days to the Committee on Student Standing. DEAN'S LIST The Dean's List is compiled after each trimester, listing students whose grade point average for a trimester is 3.5 or better. Students must be full-time (a minimum two full course credits for a Weekend College student), graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. If permission is given by the student, an announcement is sent to the hometown newspaper of each student on the Dean's List. ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic program of a liberal arts college. The Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) program at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a baccalaureate degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: 1) it is relevant to course work in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and 2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) This is a series of standardized tests which have been developed by the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. (The regional testing center for this area is the University of Minnesota.) Students who score at or above the 65th percentile on a subject examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Additional information about CLEP tests is available from the Office of the Registrar. Departmental Comprehensive Exams These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: There is a departmental instrument available for the subject area in question. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. The Registrar approves the student's request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a passlno credit basis only, and there is a charge per exam of one-half of tuition for a full course credit. The Portfolio Assessment Program This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student's previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the Office of the Registrar. In completing the evaluation of a student's previous learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria: There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed and/or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts course work. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. The learning relates well to the student's educational goals. The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least four course credits of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is an application deposit to initiate the credit assessment process, and a charge for each semester credit applied to the student's transcript if credit is approved. Transcript credit will be granted on the basis of semester credits, and the total number of credits granted will be divided by four to determine the number of course credits applied to graduation. These credits will be recorded with the course number of APL 2xx. Application of this credit toward the Liberal Arts Perspective requirements, Upper Division requirements, and academic majors and minors may be subsequently addressed by the Associate Academic Dean in response to a formal request by the student. Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of eight course credits (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the eight courses of credit for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of assessment processes available in the APL program: CLEP exams, departmental exams and credit granted through portfolio assessment. Lifetime Sports Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program Students in the Weekend College may complete one or both of the two required graduation skills of Lifetime Sports through the APL process. The Lifetime Sports graduation skills are non-academic courses and no credit is earned by their completion; however, fulfillment of two Lifetime Sports is necessary to graduate. There is a fee for each Lifetime Sport completed by APL. Additional information about Lifetime Sports APL is available from the Weekend College Office. ACCOUNTING - ACC The major in accounting prepares students for professional careers in a wide variety of accounting-related positions. This major has two tracks: General Accounting and Professional Accounting. The General Accounting specialization is adequate for a wide variety of positions. The Professional Accounting track includes two specializations: public accounting and managerial accounting. The public accounting specialization is recommended for positions with CPA firms. The managerial accounting specialization is recommended for positions with large or rapidlygrowing companies. The two professional specializations relate to two professional designations: the CPA and the CMA. A CPA (Certified Public Accountant) focuses on external reporting; a CMA (Certified Management Accountant) focuses on internal reporting. The public accounting specialization includes the materials emphasized on the CPA exam; the managerial specialization includes the materials emphasized on the CMA exam. Designations have an experience requirement in addition to passing the national exam. Under the rules of the Minnesota State Board of Accountancy, Accounting majors in the public accounting specialization are qualified to sit for the CPA examination during their last semester. Accounting Core: 14 courses are required for this major (an exception to the 13-course limitation), including: ECO 112 Principles of Macroeconomics ECO 113 Principles of Microeconomics MIS 175 Principles of Computing for Business or MIS 370 Advanced Computing for Business BUS 242 Principles of Management BUS 252 Principles of Marketing ACC 221 Principles of Accounting I ACC 222 Principles of Accounting I1 MIS 379 Quantitative Methods for Business and Economics BUS 301 Business Law BUS 331 Financial Management A c a d e m i c I ACC 322 Accounting Theory and Practice I ACC 323 Accounting Theory and Practice I1 ACC 324 Managerial Cost Accounting ACC 425 Advanced Accounting (It is recommended that students take the courses in the sequence given above.) Specialization in General Accounting: No additional courses required. Specialization in Public Accounting: Accounting core plus: ART, STUDIO - ART A liberal arts college like Augsburg is an ideal setting for the study of art because it provides a constant possibility for the interaction of ideas, disciplines and attitudes. At Augsburg, art study is further enhanced by associations with a significant number of art galleries and museums in the Twin Cities area. Hundreds of specific careers exist in the general area of art, such as teaching in the public schools and colleges, ceramics, interior design, photography, film and video work, painting, gallery and museum work and design.

COMMUNICATION SPC Our quality of life, both personally and professionally, depends in large part upon the quality of our communication. A Communication major at Augsburg is designed to enhance understanding of communication in a variety of contexts and to improve communication skills.

The Augsburg Communication major focuses on competency in both speech and writing, as well as effective use of media. Since the study and practice of communication is grounded in both the humanities and the social sciences, majors are encouraged to include such related subjects as aesthetics, ethics, philosophy, logic, literature, statistics and research methods in their programs. All Communication majors must complete a core group of seven required courses, supplemented by five electives in one of the following concentrations: public relations and advertising, marketing communication, human relations, or supervisory management. Prospective majors should meet with a departmental adviser as early as possible to design an approved major program, preferably by the end of the sophomore year.

ENGLISH - ENC Those who study English believe that an intense concern for words, ideas and images helps people understand who they are and who they can become. Writing helps us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through the study of English we see life's complexity, experience life as some others do, and understand better the world in which we live and work. English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the contemplation of works of art. With psychology and sociology, English is concerned with individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is interested in ideas and the relation between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering order and determinjng 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 diffe~nt times and in different d m .

NURSING - NUR The Augsburg Nursing Program is designed exclusively for registered nurses who want to increase their opportunities in the health care field. The scope of nursing practice is changing and expanding. Nurses are being called on to function in a variety of settings that differ from those in the past. Today nurses work in hospitals, clinics, corporations, government agencies, schools and community organizations; some are selfemployed, running their own businesses. All of these nurses provide comprehensive health assessment for individuals from all cultures and socioeconomic levels. From helping parents have safe deliveries of healthy infants to coordinating home care for the dying, nurses assist people through their entire life span. The Baccalaureate degree equips the nurse with a working knowledge of the biological, physical, social, behavioral and nursing sciences. The nursing program at Augsburg College also provides the educational opportunities to increase skills in critical thinking, clinical investigation and decisionmaking that prepare nurses to handle challenging new positions in today's health care field. Augsburg's nursing program, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Nursing, is accredited by the National League for Nursing. Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for Public Health Nurse registration in Minnesota. With one additional course, they are eligible to apply for School Nurse certification.

This may include: graduation from a school of nursing (a minimum overall GPA of 2.5 is required), work experience, or completion of a nursing refresher course or an acceptable equivalent. PSYCHOLOGY - PSY Psychology, with its emphasis on behavioral observation and data, provides a perspective on human activities which is an integral part of liberal education. The goal of the Psychology program is the improved understanding of human behavior by studying how people cope with their environment and interact with each other. Psychologists use a variety of methods to study behavior, including experimentation, observation and clinical case analysis. Faculty members have varied professional specializations such as counseling, physiological psychology, human development, personality, social and organizational psychology, and analysis of public policy. The Psychology program's emphasis on the use of a problem solving approach, the acquisition of information about human development and interaction, and the development of human relations skills can be beneficial in careers in business, education and other social services, the church, government, as well as in careers such as research, law and medicine. Some courses may need to be taken on an evening schedule. Psychology Major 10 courses including: PSY 102 Individual in a Social World or PSY 105 Principles of Psychology PSY 230 Research Methods: Design, Procedure and Analysis I PSY 330 Research Methods: Design, Procedure and Analysis I1 PSY 399 Internship PSY 381 Psychology in Historical Perspective or PSY 493 Seminar: Contemporary Issues PSY 354 Perception and Cognition or PSY 355 Brain and Behavior PSY 325 Social Behavior or PSY 359 Psychological Assessment Three additional Upper Division psychology courses.

Not more than two courses from PSY 299,399 and 499 may be counted toward the minor. RELIGION- REL Augsburg College understands itself as a college of the church and it is persuaded that the Christian faith provides an appropriate perspective from which to undertake its educational task. The biblical faith and tradition of the Christian Church have influenced the whole world and they have affected and continue to influence language, literature, history, values and political structures. The student encounters this religious tradition in studying these and other areas. The study of religion and theology is intended to make such encounters more meaningful through a better knowledge of biblical history and that of the Christian Church, and by a broader acquaintance with theological thought. While it is true that the fundamental orientation of this College is to the Christian faith, it is also true that the field of religion obviously includes more than is represented by the Christian faith. Large segments of the earth's population live by religious concepts and ideas which are different from Christianity. The Department of Religion seeks to introduce students to some of these major religious traditions. Religion Major Eight courses including: REL 111 Introduction to Theology REL 221 Biblical Studies REL 356 History of Religions REL 481 Contemporary Theology REL 495 Seminar Three additional Religion courses. Note: Seminar, especially for majors, should be taken in the junior or senior year. Before taking the seminar, each major must have written one formal research paper and placed it on file with the Department Chair. Religion Minor Five courses. Other Requirements Religion 111 or 221 is prerequisite to all other courses and is to be taken in either the freshman or sophomore year at Augsburg. Exceptions may be made for junior or senior transfer students, but the basic courses are still highly recommended as preparation for Upper Division courses. Department approval is necessary before courses taken at other colleges can be accepted for Religion Department and/or general education course credit. All majors must consult with the Department Chair. Completion of this major may require enrollment in one or more courses offered in an evening weekday schedule. A c a d e m i c M a j o r s . SOCIAL WORK - SWK The Social Work major prepares graduates for entrylevel generalist professional practice in the field of human services.
