Introducing Augsburg College
Education
in a Real World
(C tt~dentscommonly speak of graduating from college
as a
L*'way of getting i n t ~"the real world!' In fact, Auphurg
College provides students with an education in a real world. The
diversity of the faculty, staff, and student body, the structure of
the curriculum, and the academic environment minor the camplexity of Life in contemporary society.
The College's location in and involvement with a metropolitan
setting offer continuous access to cultural opportunities, career
experiences, and social realities that enrich shtdents' educations.
Augsburg's commitment to the liberal arts recognizes that the
reality in which contemporary persons live and the persons
themselves have been shaped by the tradition and history horn
which they come. The real world was not made this morning, and
it is not simple. Only a broad education can present our world as
it is and give persons the ability to deal with it. Similar1y,
Augsburg College's continuing dedication to its heritage as a
college of the church affirms a belief that the world is the creation
of a loving God and that human persons are inescapably spiritual
beings.
The College Mission Statement
These qualities of an Augshrg education flow from its mission state
ment which declares that the College exists to provide high quality
educational opportunities which are based in the liberal arts and shaped
by the faith arid vaIues of the Christian church and by the context of a
great metropolitan center.
Augsburgs location in the heart d the city represents the loom on which
the multialored fabric of its idmtity has been woven. WhiIe students
are pmpafed to take a place in and make a contibution to the worId in
which they Iive, they are educated to be critical of the quality of life in
their society and to be reflective of their own d u e s as they respond to it.
"... based in the liberal arts"
The academic program emphasizes the continuing vaZiditg of the liberal
arts as a foundation for developing the Iife of the mind. Augsbmg
CoIIege's faculty are dedicaid to chatlengvlg their students to achiwe
the highest academic standards while supporting &em in that endeavor
with excenent teaching and individual attention
Students are expected to develop their abilities in critical thinking and
communicationand to gain sensitivity to and appreciation for their own
and other cultures. Each student is encouraged to contemplate the
eternal philosophical and spiritual questions of human life and of
personal values and ethics. At Augsburg the great scholars, thinkers,
writers, and artists of the past and present are studied and valued.
Augsbtrrg College considers art understandingof the content and
method of sdcnce, a arecognition of the place of technology,and an
understanding of ways to maintain a sound body as important elements
of a complete education.
This insistence on the breadth of a traditional liberal arts education
reflects a firm belief that human beings are more than their ability to
perfom a job. It reftwrs further a concerted attempt to direct students
toward a full development of the many facets and capacities of the
educated person.
"...within the context of a
great metropolitan center"
Yet, bounded as it is by an interslate freeway and the center of a vital city,
Augsburg CoLlege is no ivory tower escape from the real world. The
College community continually interacts with the city by attending
culhrral events and civic activities and by inviting dty residents and
visitors to the campus as lecturers, performers, and mmfms.The city
M ~ maslaboratory for experiential leaning through Internships,
professional field experiences, and Cooperative Education.
"...and shaped b y faith and values"
This involvement with the real world is a reflection of Augsburg's
spiritual heritage which values all that God has created. While its
tradition supports intellectual freedom in the search for truth, the
ColIege affirmsits belief that all students should reflect upon their
ethical and spiritual values as part of becoming educated. Students are
encouraged though religion courses and through opportunities on
campus for the practice and examination of spirituality to consider their
relationship to God, to others?to society, and to the world,
Traditionally Augsburg College has insisted that an aspect of these
relationships is contained in the motto: "Education for Service." In these
words the College expresses a belief that, whatever career they pursue,
graduates should consider the duty of citizens to contribute to the
common good through service to others.
w
ithin the larger community of the city and the world,
Augsburg College is its own community. It is a community of
support and collegiality composed of persons of diverse talents; of
varied ethnic, national, cultural, and religious backgrounds; and of
complementary interests and orientations. Through a competent, committed faculty and a dedicated staff, Augsburg College builds with its
students a real world in which the whole person can be educated and
developed.
About
Augsburg
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by N o r w e a n Lutherans in
America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in
Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in
MarshalI, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first college
students were enrolled in 1874 and the first graduation was in 1879.
Early Leaders
Establish a Direction
August Weenaas was Augsburg's first president (1869-1876).
Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway - Sven Oftedal
and Georg Sverdrup. These three men dearly articulated the direction of
Augsburg: toeducateNorwegianLutherans to minister lo immigrants;and
to provide such "coI1eg-e" studies tha t would prepare studentsfor theoIogical study.
In 1874they proposed a three part pram first -train ministerial candidates,
second - prepare future theological students and third - educate the
farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good
education is also practical.
Augsburg's next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower
concepts of education. This commitment to church and community has
been Augsburg's theme for over one hundred years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist" college, GeorgSverdrup, Augsburg's
second president (1876-1907), required students to get pre-ministerial
experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community
gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education for
Service."
In the 1890s,Augsburg leadersformed the Friendsof Augsburg, later called
the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregationalautonomy and personal Christianity.
This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the
small Lutheran body. But the collegedivision was still important primarily
as an attachment to the seminary.
The Focus Changes
This attitude began to change after World War I. In 1911Georg SverdrupJr.
became President. He worked to develop college departments with an
appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be
ministers. Augsburg' admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of
Gerda Mortensen, Dean of Women. She spent the next 52 years at the
College as a teacher and administrator.
The College's mission assumed a double character -ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937,
Augsburg elected Bemhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher,
to be president (1938-1962).His involvementin ecumenical and civic circles
made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life.
After World War 11,Augsburg leadersmade vigorous efforts to expand and
improve academic offerings. Now the College was a larger part of the
institution than the seminary, and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offeringa
modem college program based on general education requirements and
elective majors. With cursimlum change came a long effort to become
accredited.
The College reached full accreditation in 1954, although many alumni had
entered graduate schools and teaching positions long before that time.
A study in 1962 defined the College's mission now as serving the good
society as a whole first, and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church
second. The Seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther
Northwestern Seminary)in St. Paul in 1963.
A College in the City
President Oscar A. Anderson (1963-1980)continued Augsburg's emphasis
on involvement with the city. He wanted to reach out to non-traditional
student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all p p l e .
During his years of leadership the College became a vita1 and integral part
of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen
Tower, Umess Tower, the C o Z l e ~Center, Ice Arena and PsychoIogy
Building.
Since 1980 Augsbwg has been Ied by Charles S.Anderson We has continued Augsburg's commitment to the value of a libera1 arts education,
emphasizingdiversityin enrollment efforts, spiritual growth and freedom
and an academic program that draws on the Esources of the city as
extensions of the campus and classroom.
Serving the Non-traditional Student
Aupburg's American M i a n Program is recognized as mc~essful.The
program has had the highest retention rate of W a n studentsin Minnesota
-=me 85 percent.The Black Student Support Program, initiated in 1969,
has had a growing number ofstudents and supports a Black Student Union
and a newspaper distributed by the office.
The campus is accessible to the physimlly handicapped with a skywaytunnel-elevator system connecting ten major buildings. In only its second
year, Augsburg's program for the learning disabled had 30 students enrolled. The program received a state award for excellence.
Weekend College, started in 1982 with 69 students, had an enrollment of
over SO0 in fa11 1988. Through Weekend College, adult students can work
M l i m e and pursuea bachelor's degree that has a practicalfocus on a liberal
arts base.
In January of 1987 Augsburg initiated a Master of Arts in Leadership
program. As in Weekend College, students can work full-time and take
graduate courses leading to a master's degree.
These programs bring working add& to the campus. They are comple
mented by the College's Cooperative Education Progsam Cbegun in 19%)
that places Augsburg students into paid work experiences. Tfte Co-op
Education Program helps s tadents get career experience in additiun to their
classroom studies.
Augsburg Today
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the
founders who believed:
Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community
and church;
education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative and successful citizens;
the city with all its excitement, challengesanddiversity,is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution set in the heart of a great
metropolitan center.There arenow more than 11,000 Augsburg alumni. In

Augsburg still sendsout graduates who make a difference where they live

Your Education
A
11 students receive financial help indirectly, since a quality
liberal arts education costs more than tuition and fees
cover. The College raises that difference in gifts - from alumni,
faculty, staff, parents, church, friends, foundations, a n d endowment income.
However, the primary responsibility for paying for a college
education rests on students and their families. Financial aid is
intended to supplement those resources.

Financial Aid
Financing higher education could be the most significant investment a
person or family makes in a lifetime. So, proper planning and wise choices
are important, not only in choosing a college, but also in the methods used
to pay for it. Augsburg College, through its Office of Student Financial
Services, will help students and their families with both monetary and
advisory assistance to protect access to a quality education in spite of increasing costs.
Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg is a combinationof scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work opportunities. The College
cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing
various aid programs. For the academicyear 1986-87approximately 85%of
all students at Augsburg received scholarships, grants, loans and part-time
employment totalling over $7,200,000 from all aid sources.
The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the
student and family. Financial aid is intended to supplement student and
family resources.
The Family Financial Statement (FFS) of the American College Testing
Program (ACT)or the Financial Aid Form (FAF)of the College Scholarship
Service (CSS)helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student
is eligible. This analysis estimates the amount a student and family can be
expected to provide for college expenses, taking into account such family
financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependents, other
educational expenses, debts, retirement needs, and special considerations.
V How and When to Apply
New Students - Regular Admission
1. Apply for admission to Augsburg College. No financial aid notification is made until the student has applied and been accepted for

V Kinds of Aid

rather than for a specific scholarshipor grant (exceptas noted).The various
forms of aid available are listed here for information only.

college life, but learning and development also occur in
formal and informal activities of the College and the metropolitan
area. Whether students are residents or commuters, the climate
for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to their
education.
Campus Ministry
As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual as well as
academic and social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth is evident in
the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their
own faith.
Sinceour campusis comprised of individualsfrom many different religious
and cultural backgrounds, our worship life is characterized by a similar
diversity and richness of tradition. Bible studies, fellowship groups, outreach teams, planning committees, retreats, peace and justice forums,
hunger conferences, concerts, plays and movies are examples of the wide
variety of activities on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where
students, faculty and staff gather each day to give thanks and hear the
Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students gather for Holy Communion.
We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to use and discover the gifts that God has given them. As a college of
the church, we encourage students to form their own values which will be
the basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond their years at
Augsburg.

counseling, consultation, support or information.

Academic
Information
A
ugsburg College constructs its curriculum upon the premise
that students must be educated as full human persons: intellectually, spiritually, and physically. To act effectively, human beings must
have a broad grasp of the world from which they have come as well as
the world in which they live. By providing courses in the humanities,
natural sciences, and social sciences, the general education cumculum
introduces students to the breadth and complexity of knowledge and
culture.
Required courses in religion are designed to acquaint students with the
Christian tradition and encourage them to reflect upon the importance
and meaning of spirituality in their lives. Recreation courses offer
students the opportunity to develop skills for participation in exercise
and sporting activities.
Students choose from over forty major areas of study to gain a depth of
knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a career or further study.
Thus, through a balance of curricular activities supported by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg College education
strives to educate its students in a real world for the real world.

supportingtheir 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.

library consortium, and MINITEX, the statewide library network, the Augsburg
community has access to over 5,000,000 volumes.
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) -Full-time students at Augsburg
and the St. Paul colleges of Hamline, Macalester, St. Catherine and St. Thomas
may elect a course each semester at one of the other campuses.No additional fee
is required for such an exchange, except for private instruction in music and
some independent studies. See Independent Study for further details. Students
may elect to participate in the cooperativeprogram to gain new perspectives, to
get better acquainted with the other schools, or to undertake a specific course or
major not offered on the home campus.The colleges have coordinated calendars.
The Interim term may also be taken on another campus. A regularly scheduled
bus shuttles students between the campuses.
Augsburg College also cooperateswith other colleges in planning study opportunities for the January Interim
Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA) - Augsburg, in
cooperation with fifteen other colleges and universities in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and South Dakota, develops and offers off-campus study semesters in
Scandinavia, South and Central America, San Francisco, and the Twin Cities. All

V Cooperative Education and Internships
Through Cooperative Education and Academic Internships, Augsburg
College students integrate their liberal arts education with the world of
work. Each placement is closely related to a student's major or career
interest. An underlying assumption is that a liberal arts education is an
effective form of career preparation.
Augsburg's Cooperative Education and Academic Internship Programs
link employers and faculty in a way that enriches and expands a student's
educational experience. This on-the-jobexperience adds breadth and depth
to the liberalarts curriculumand helps students make more informed career
decisions.
Augsburg'sliberal arts education is enhanced by the College'smetropolitan
location and the broad range of opportunities in the Twin Cities. Co-op Ed
and Internships expand these mutually beneficial relationships and the
resulting partnerships among employers, educators and students.
Augsburg has been a leading proponent and provider of experiential
education for many years. Both Co-op Education and Internships are
voluntary and available throughout the curriculum. Eachacademic department determines the extent of its involvement in either program and the
amount of credit it will allow. The Associate Academic Dean coordinates
the Internship Program with assistance from Cooperative Education and
Career Services.
Co-op Education and Internships are separate and distinct from programs
which require clinical experience, practicums, residencies and/or student
teaching in order to fulfill the professional training associated with accredited programs. However, many students participate in Co-op Education
and Internships prior to and following these required assignments.
Cooperative Education students are expected to complete one Internhip
per year in conjunction with their placement. A nonaedi t Cooperative
Education transcript entry is available during the academic termswhen the
student is not registered for an Internship.
Upper Division Internships are numbered 399 and Lower Division Internships are numbered 199. Registration for Internshipsconsists of the following steps. A learning agreement (forms are available from the Associate
Academic Dean's office) must be negotiated with the faculty member
responsible for grading the experience. The grading system, activities, and
appropriatelevel must be agreed upon. The completed learning agreement
is returned to the Associate Dean's office. An Internship card (withthe
description/location) signed by the faculty member and Associate I3ean
must be turned in to the Registrar's Officeat registration time. Students are
not encouraged to register/add until an actual experience has been arranged, but they must make arrangements by the end of the registration
period. For extension of study beyond one term, see the section of the
catalogunder grading.Amaximum of four coursesof Internshipmay count
toward the 35 courses required for the degree.
V IndependentIDirected Study
Many departments offer opportunities for conscientious students who
demonstrate sufficientbackground and preparation in a given field to carry
out upper division level work on an independent basis. Courses are
numbered 499. (Some departments have been given faculty approval to
offer 1/2 course credit under498. The Speech, Communicationand Theatre
k t s Department uses 495 for Independent Study in Communication.)
Many departments also offer an opportunity for Directed Study on a Lower
Division level. These courses are numbered 299. Arrangements between
students and instructors should be made in advance of the period of initial
registration. The grading system and appropriate level must be agreed
upon. Independent and Directed Study course numbers are used only for
study different in content from courses already listed in this Catalog. An
agreed-upon titlemustbe reported on the appropriateform to theRegistrafs
Office at registration time. The faculty member giving the grade must sign
the form. Studentsare not encouraged to register/add until an actual study
has been arranged, but they must make arrangementsby the end of the registration period. For extension of study beyond one term, see the section of
the Catalog under grading.
A maximum of two courses in Independent Study and/or Directed Study
may count toward the 35 courses required for the degree. Students may
cross-registerfor Independent Studies at another ACTC school only when
the major field in which the Independent Study is proposed is not available
on their home campus, and will be charged by the host campus for any
special costs attached.Requests for exception to this policy should be made
directly to their own academic dean.
V Weekend College
Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative for adult
students who work or have other commitments during the week. It is a
means by which men and women may earn a college degree, complete a
second major, or pursue a personal interest or skill.
Weekend College classes meet on alternate weekends and there are three
trimester terms during the early September through June academic year.
Students may take from one to four classes each term.
While Augsburg Weekend College program involves the same courses as
the day school program, the curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts
courses and the following majors: Business Administration (specializations
in accounting, finance, management, and marketing), Communication
(concentrations in human relations, marketing communications, public
relations/advertising, and supervisory management), Management Information Systems, Elementary and Secondary Education, English, Nursing,
and Social Work.
V Graduate Program
In January of 1987Augsburg College initiated a Master of Arts program in
Leadership. Based on the subject matter and approaches of the traditional
liberal arts, this cross-disciplinaryprogramdirects its academic content and
pedagogical approaches at situations, issues and problems relevant to
organizational leaders. Augsburg's program recognizes that todafs leaders need broad-spectrum abilitiesto provide them with a more comprehensive understanding of their world.
Designed for working adults who have demonstrated leadership potential
in the workplace, the Augsburg Graduate Program operates on alternate
Saturdays and alternate Thursday evenings. Students may take either one
or two courses per trimester.
V Continuing Education Program
Augsburg College offers selected courses through Continuing Education.
Inquiries shouldbe addressedto the Officeof the Associate Academic Dean.
V Center for Global Education
The Center for Global Education was founded at Augsburg in 1982 with a
commitmentto educationwhichbothexpandsour world view and deepens
our understanding of issues related to global peace and justice. Studentscan
participate in a number of forums, seminars and conferences that focus on
global issues. In addition, a spring semester program in Mexico, "The
Program in Global Community," a fall semester in Mexico, "Human Services in a Latin American Context," and occasional Interims allow more indepth exposure to these topics.

range for exemption from ESL) and by a writing sample.
Near the end of each term of the English as a Second Language course, an
objective test will be administered to all students in the class. The score on
this test and the grade earned in the classwill determine whether additional
ESL course work is required. Usually a score of 80 to 90 and a course grade

Most courses are offered with grading options -traditional grading on a
4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system, in which P means a grade of
2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of lessthan 2.0. Studentsare
cautioned to use the P/N grade option with care since some graduate and
professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded
courses, or rank each as a "C." Transfer students are cautioned that Pgraded coursesdo not countin therequirementthat 14 traditionally graded
courses be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation
with distinction. See PJ N Iimi tations under Graduation Rquirments.
Certain corn are offered on one grading system only. Sociology 265 and
several Iaterim coursesare graded only on the P/N grading system. Some
education courses are graded only on the P/N system or only on the
traditional system. English I11 is graded P or N, or 2.0-4.0/N. Some other
courses are graded only P, 1.0, N. Chemistry Seminar and Lifetime Sports
are graded P/O.O.
In courses where there is a choice, studentswill be graded on the traditional
systemunlessthey indicateon their registration that they wish to use theP/
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
after the first five days of classes.

IExplanation of Grades
Number grades are used with these definitions
4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence
3.5
3.0 Achieves above basic course standards
2.5
2.0 Meets basic standards for the course
1.5
1.0 Performance below basic course standards
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. A grade of P representswork at or above the 2.0 level; N represents
work at the 1.5 or below level.
An incomplete grade may be given only in the case of extreme emergency.
To receive an incomplete grade, a student must receive permission of the
instructor of the course; must file a form stating the reasons for the request,
the work required to complete the course, the plan and date for completing
the work, and commentsfrom the instructor; and must gain the approval of
the Registrar.If permission is granted, the necessary work must be completed in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by theinstructor and
filing of a grade before the final day of the following semester. If the work
is not completed by that date, the grade for the coursebecomes a 0.0.
Internships, Indqendent Studies, and TXected Studies may sometimes
last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completedby
the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term
of registration. A grade of X is given by the instruckor to indicate that the
study is extended. It is expected that students givm X extensions will
continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that
satisfactoryprogress is being maintained. The Registrafs Office will automatically continue theregistration in response to an X grade. A finalgrade
will be issued at t h e end of the term in which the work is completed and
evaluated (butnot longer than one year). An instructor reserves the discretion of not giving an X whew satisfactory progress is not demonstrated.
Withdrawal from college or dropping these continued courses will terminate their registration. Under this circumstance, a re-registration as 1X by
the student would be necessary if done during registration periods within
one year of initial registration; if done after one year, a new registration
would be necessary.
A course inwhich a grade of 0,0.5,1 .O,15,N, I, or X has been received may
be repeated for credit. C o m e s in which higher grades have been earned
may riot be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. AIl courses
takenand grad- earned each termremain on theacademicrecord. Only the
aeditsand gradesearned the second,be,for legitimatelyrepeated courses,
are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average.
A course is given a grade of W when it is dropped after the deadline for
dropping classes without a notation on the record.
V Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by
registering for Audit (V).Full-time students may audit a murse without
charge. The charge for part-time students is listed under College Costs.
Students who audit a course shouId confer with the insmctor within two
weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expecfations, attendance
and any 0 ther requirement If expedations have been met, the course will
be listed on the hammipt as having k e n audited. If expectations have not
been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W (Withdrawn).
V Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at
Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred
from other colleges.Coursestakenon the P/N gradingoptionare recorded,
but not computed in the GPA.
V Classification
Students are classified in August and at the end of the Fall and Interim
terms.
-
Sophomores 7 courses completd with at least 14 grade points.
Juniors -16 courses compIeted with at least 32 grade points.
Seniors -25 courses completed with at least 50 grade points.
V Advanced Placement Program
Advanced placement in courses beyond the beginning level is granted to
students with scores of 3, 4, and 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement
Program Test. Additional credit or placement is at the discretion of the
department. Inquiries should be addressed to the Office of the Registrar.
V International Baccalaureate Program
Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate Program will be
consideredby the CoIIege for advanced placement and appropriatecredit
Departmental guidelines are available from the Office of the Registrar.
V Assessment of Previous Learning
(APL Program)
Augsburg Collegerecognizes that learningcan and does take place in many
life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic program of a liberal
arts college. The APL program (Assessment of Previous Learning) at
Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous learning, other
than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be
presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a
baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit
recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essentiaI
criteria: 1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the
Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and 2) it can be objectivelydemonstrated
either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation.
The APL program at Aupburgprovides sever& meansby which students
may have their previous learning assessed for credit recopition. The
following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment:
T h e College LevelEmmination Program (CLIP)-Thkis a seriesof standardized
tests which have been dewlo+ by The College Board and are offered to
studentsfora small f ~ e at
e regionaltesting centers.(Theregional testingcenter for
this area is the University of Minnesota.)Studentswho scoreat or above the 65th
percenkileon a subject examination may d v e academic credit for that subject
at Augsburg College. Additional information about CLEPtestsis availablefrom
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:
A. There is a departmental instrument available for subject area in question.
B. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the
exam.
C. The Student Standing Committee approves the student's request to take the
exam. Credit for departmental exams is availableon a pass/no credit basis
only, and there is a charge per exam.
TheCredit AssessmentProgxam(CAT)-This isa credit assessmentalternativein
which a faculky committee completesa credit evaluation of a learning portfolio
submitted by the student. The factdty committee is composd of the Rqktsar
and two faculty members from fields 05 study directly related to the student's
previous learning. Lnformational meetings and consdtation are provided for
students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment. This may include a personal meeting with the CAP Committee. In campleting the evaluation of a student's psevious Iearning, the CAP Cornmitree
applies the following criteria:
A. There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous
learning experience that involved prescribed and/or systematic study of
content material found within liberal arts coursework.
B. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the
presenting student.
C. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
D. The learning relates well to the student's educational goals.
E. The learning and skillsinvolved are current and could be used at the present
time.
Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least
four coursesof academicworkat Augsburg Collegewith acumulativeAugsburg
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
(applicableto transcript charge) to initiate the credit assessment process, and a
charge for each semester credit applied to the student's transcript.
Transcript credit will be granted on the basis of semester credits, and the total
number of credits granted will be divided by four to determine the number of
courses applied'to graduation. These credits will be recorded with the course
number of CAP 2xx.Application of this credit toward distribution requirements
and academicmajors and minors may be subsequentlyaddressed by the departments involved 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 learningmust be placed in the contextof formal study in campusbased liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of nine
courses (one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the nine courses of
credit for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination
of the three assessment processes available in the APL program: CLEP exams,
departmentalexams, and credit granted through CAP Committee assessment.
V Academic Progress, Probation and Dismissal
The Collegerequires that studentsmaintain the followingcumulative grade
point averages (GPA):
Freshman a student having taken fewer than 7 courses cumulative
GPA of 1.6 or higher
Sophomore - a student having taken fewer than 16 courses mmulative GPA of 1.7 or higher
Junior a student having taken fewer than 25 courses cumulative GPA of 1.9 or higher
a student having taken 25 or more courses cumulative
Senior 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, or will be
continued on probation, or will be dismissed from the College. In addition,
a freshman who receives 2 zero grades or a sophomore who receives 3 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. Students who have a poor academic rmrd may be strongly
advised to withdraw before the end of a tern. Those on probation who
voluntarilywithdrawfromthe 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
reachesthe minirmm leveIs stated above. Studentsplaced on probation as
freshmen far having earned 2 zero grades may be removed h m probation
if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earned additional zero grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Studentsplaced
on probation as sophomores for having earned 3 zero grades may be
removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their
cumulative GPA reaches 1.9.
The Collegereserves the right to dismissany 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.
V Dean's List
The Dean's List is compiled after each semester, listing students whose
grade p i n t average for a semester is 3.5 or better, based on a minimum of
three full courses, or equivalent, foraweekday schedule student or two full
courses, or equivalent, for a weekend college student, graded on the
traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for
credit. L€ permission is given, an announcement is sent to the hometown
newspaper of each student on the Dean's List.
V Graduation with Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined as follows:
Summa cum laude -3.8 to 4.0 cumulative GPA
Magna cum laude -3.6 up to but not including 3.8 cumulative GPA
Cum laude -3.3 up to but not including 3.6 cumulative GPA
To qualify for graduation with distinction, transfer students must have
completed two years (14 traditionallygradedcourses)of workat Augsburg.
7 Veterans of Military Service
Augsburg is approved by the StateApprovingAgency for Veterans Education. Veterans should tonsult with the Office of the Registrar about completion of the enrollment certificate and the forwardingof other information to
the Veterans Administration.
Augsburgs standardsd academic progress are giveninthisCatalog.When
a veteran or eligible perstln fads to maintain these prescribed standards of
progress, the College will so inform the Veterans Adminisfration. It is the
responsibiIity of each veteran to report any change in registration and/or
academic load to the Office of the Registrar, as i t is for all studmts.
If less than full-time, veterans will be referred to the State Approving
Agency after any period of two consecutive terms if they did not earn the
equivalent of what they had been certified for.
A non-punitive grade which brings a veteran's academic load for the term
below three courses will be reported to the Veterans Administration.
Veteranswill need to meet the requirements of theveterans Administration
regarding repayment of educational assistance funds received.
Departments
and Programs
Course Descriptions
Major and Minor Requirements
A
s a liberal arts institution, Augsburg College operates with a
belief that knowledge and truth are interrelated and are integrated into a whole. The tradition of the academic world, however,
divides this unified truth into more manageable parts: the academic
disciplines. The knowledge of individual disciplines is subdivided into
courses which make it more accessible to students. These courses can be
arranged in various ways to construct majors, to create the substance of a
broad general education, and to give students the opportunity to study
areas of particular individual interest.
Descriptions of caurszs are arranged by departments and programs.
T h e descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter covered in
individual courses to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus
containing a more detailed explanation of content, approach, and
requirements for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor.
Department entries also contain a narrative discussion of the educational
philosophy of each department, its pals, and its place in the College's
program. A Listing of requirements for individual majors follows the
narrative.
Courses and t e r n listed are subject to change. In general, classes are
offered Fa31 and/or Spring terms, unless another frqumcyis specified.
The Schedule of Classes published each spring lists offerings and locations for Fall and Spring terms. Descriptions and schedules for courses
of f e d in JanuaryInterim, Summer Scl~ml,Augsburg Weekend College
and the Master of Arts in Leadership program are published in separate
catalogs.
+ Credits
A full course is offered for one credit. A few fractional courses, for one-half
or one-quarter credit, are offered in the Division of Professional Studies.A
full course has the approximate value of 4 semester credits or 6 quarter
hours.
Most courses meet for three 60-minute periods or two 90-minute periods a
week, in addition to laboratories.
+ Numbering
Courses numbered below 300 are Lower Division courses. Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as Upper Division. In general, coursesin
the lOOsareprimarily for freshmen, 200s sophomores, 300sjuniors, and400s
seniors.
+ Prerequisites
Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are
listed in the course description. A skdent may enroll in a course when a
prerequisite has not been fyzfiIIed if there is prior approval by a professor
teaching the course and of the academic adpiw.
V Art
Department (ART)
Art is important as a field of study for our modem age. Our survival as a
culture may very well depend on whether we are able to create order
and beauty in the design and function of communities.Realizing this, we
have made design and msitivity to all aspects of visual experience
central to the art program at Augsburg.
Giving and receiving visual messages is so much a part of everyday life
that it is often taken for granted. At the same time, however, the interchange of visual ideas is frequently misunderstood. The task of the artist,
art teacher, and art historian is to celebrate visual experience through a
variety of media and art examples. In short, the visual arts teach us how
to see.
Because of the College's commitment to the liberal arts, the visual arts, as
taught at Aupburg draw ideas and inspiration from all disciplines. Art
as a human activity docs involve manual skill, although to become
broadly signifimnt i t should interact with the content available in other
fields, such as language, history, drama, music, literature, philosophy,
theology, business, physical education, and science.
A liberd arts college, such as Augsburg College, 5 an idea1 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.
Cooperative Education and Internships in studio art and art history
provide on-the-job, supervised, evaluated experiences which contribute
to the student's overall education and development. Primary goals
include improvement of art and museum skills, production and creative
strategies.
Hundreds of specific careers exist in the general area of art. Augsburg
graduates have established careers in such fields as teaching in public
schools and colleges, anthropology, pottery making, antique restoration
and sales, film and video work, portrait painting, and gallery and
museum work.
The future holds a great deal of promise for artists who can combine
skills with a breadth of understanding.

V Biology
Department (BIO)
Biology is the study of MeI and it is natural that we,as contemplative
living creatures, seek a deeper understandingof the living world that
envelops us. This search has led to the realization that the earth is filled
with an enormous variety of living organisms. Since humans are a part
of the biological world, an understanding of the basic biological processes common to all organisms, as well as those features which are
unique to humans, is essential to attain self-understandingand to
provide a basis for wise decisions.
Another significant insight that has emerged from the study of life is that
even the simpIest organisms are incredibly complex, and a complete
understanding of wen one of these has, as of yet, eluded the grasp of
biologists. This is true even though some organisms have been subjected
to years of intensive scrutiny.Biology will thus c o n t h e to be a fertile
field for research for many years to come.
Still, an enormous amount of knowledge regarding living organisms has
accumulated over the years. In recent decades great strides have been
made in understanding important biological processes, particularly
those at the cellular and molecular levels. Biological research has also
provided some extremely important benefits to humans. Most advances
in medicine, veterinary medicine, agriculture and food science have
depended on the findings of basic biological research.
Since the biological world reveals such variety, complexity, and knowledge, an undergraduate major in biology needs to be broadly based.
Since a complete understanding of biological systems depends on
applications of the principles of physics and chemistry, a firm background in the physical sciences is also important for biologists.
For many, an undergraduate major in biology serves primarily as a basis
for further study. In past years Augsburg graduates have gone on to further studies in professionalschools such as medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. Others have entered graduate programs in the life
sciences, leading to careers in areas such as college or university teaching, basic and applied research, and public or environmental health.
Other graduates have embarked directly after graduation on a variety of
careers, including high school teaching and laboratory technology.

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

Students interested in attaining teacher licensure or developing a background in education as a base for advanced study in other careers will
find opportunities in the Department of Education.
Professional Education combines the study of theory with practice, and
field experiences are an essential part of the course offerings. The location of Augsburg College is particularly advantageous for field experiences because of the wide variety of public, private and special schools in
the Twin Cities.
The career that first comes to mind for graduates of teacher education
programs is classroom teaching. Augsburg graduates are found in many
classrooms within the Twin Cities area. In addition, they provide educational services in classrooms across the nation and in some foreign
countries.
The teacher education program coupled with the liberal arts program
serves as a solid base for graduate education. Some teaching fields
require graduate work beyond the initial license in either elementary or
secondary education.
Not all graduates choose to teach in school settings. Teacher education
graduates are also found in business, working in managerial, sales,
production, and service areas.
As of April 1,1988, all persons are required to have taken basic competency tests (prescribed by the Minnesota Board of Teaching) in reading,
writing skills and mathematics prior to beginning Upper Division
courses.
Licensure in Elementary Education is available both through day school
and Weekend College. Selected secondary education programs are also
available in Weekend College.

Those who study English believe that an intense concern for words,
ideas, and images helps us understand who we are and who we 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 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 ~ o l o g y ,
English is concerned with individual and group khavior. With philo*
phy, English is interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning
and language. With dence, English is interested in discovering order
and det crmining structures. With speech and ~ommunications,English
studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social
sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and
thought at different times and in different cultures.
The Augsburg English Department integrates its program with the
cultural opportunities of this vital urban area. Augsburg students can
walk to assigned or recommended plays, films, a n d readings available
near the campus. English majors have the opportunity to use and refine
their skills through Internships on a n d off campus, tutoring in the
Writing Lab, or participating in the Co-op Ed Program.
Students with a n Augsburg English major pursue careers i n elementary,
secondary a n d college education, journalism, government, law, the
ministry, library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions a n d businesses. English majors may
start o n a slightly lower rung of the career ladder than those with more
specialized training, but will move to higher rungs more quickly because
of their broad background, their skill in analysis, a n d their superior
communication skills. Skills i n reading perceptively and writing effectively enhance a n y career and make life more enjoyable and understandable.
English Faculty: Catherine Nicholl (Chairperson), Barbara Andersen, Joseph
Bodziock, Cathleen Dalglish, David Garrison, Douglas Green, Joan Griffin,

Major: 9 courses above 111, including 225; 1 course in American literature; 1 course
in Western literary tradition (271 or 272); and 3 courses in British literature, 1on
literature before 1660 (for example, 331 or 438) and 1that surveys a number of
writers (336,337,423). Majors are encouraged to take ENG 245 early in their
college work and to consult their Departmental adviser regularly. A student
with a double major or special program that involves considerable work in the
English Department should also work closely with an adviser in the Department.
Note: Transfer students must take at least three of their English courses at
Augsburg.
English-Language Arts Teaching M a j o ~10 courses, including those listed under
the major, a coursein the English language, and an Internship in the teaching of
writing. One course must include a cornpanent in non-Western literature. In
addition, the ACTC courses CommunicationSkillsin the EnglishClassroomand
Teaching Mass Media are required. Courses in early American literature,
Shakespeare, and film are recommended. Students are encouraged to take
courses toward their major during the freshman and sophomore years, and
apply for teacher education not later than the spring of their sophomore year.
Students in this program must work with advisers in the English Department

be in British literature, and 1 writing course above the freshman level.
Note on Concentration: In addition to meeting requirements for the major, English
majors may, if they wish, develop an area of emphasis, such as British concentration, American concentration, world literature concentration, or writing concentration.A student arranges a concentrationby careful selection of electives in
the major, by the design of an Independent Study course that applies to the concentration, and by the selection of some related courses outside the Department.
English majors should work closely with their advisers in developing a concentration. Interim courses, special courses, and courses at other ACTC schools will
often fit well into a concentration.
The English Placement Test: A writing sample is required of students who score
19 or below on the verbal section of the ACT test or 78 or below on the verbal
section of the PSAT tests. Also required of students who have not taken either
the ACT or PSAT.

supporting a thesis, organizing clearly, and constructing paragraphs and sentences are required to enrollin Developmental Writing in which they will receive
more individual instructionthan is possible in Effective Writing. These students
must pass Developmental Writing before enrolling in Effective Writing.
Note on Prerequisites: 111is strongly recommended but not a prerequisite for a
Lower Division literature course. Prerequisite for an Upper Division course is
successful completion of a Lower Division literature course or consent of the
inshctor.
Developmental Writing
A preparatory coursefor EffectiveWriting required of students identified by
a writing sample (the English Placement Test) as needing additional preparation in composition. Students write short papers based on their own
observations, experiences, and thoughts. P/N grading only. Students receive a course credit, but this does not fulfill the graduation requirement in

V First Year
Experience (FYE)
Patricia Parker (Associate Academic Dean), Diane Pike
The initial months after entering college as a freshman are a period of
transition. The faculty and staff wish to assist students to make the
transition to being a college student successfully and to help them
become part of this academic community. Students are introduced to the
character of the College, its heritage as an urban liberal arts college of the
church, the process of learning in a community where ideas are valued
and treated seriously, and the logistics of being a college student.
The First Year Experience (FYE) is composed of four parts: Summer
Registration, Fall Orientation, FYE Seminars, and FYE Interim Term
Courses.
Participation in the Fall Orientation program and in the FYE Seminars is
required of all students who begin Augsburg College as freshmen in the
day schedule program. Students who meet the requirement satisfactorily
by attendance at and participation in an FYE Seminar will receive a
notation of a passing (P) grade for FYE 005 on their official transcript.
Students without a P for FIE 00.5 will not be permitted to graduate with
an Augsburg degree.
005
FYE Seminar
A series of fall term meetings with an FYE faculty adviser to discuss issues
related to becoming an active member of the Augsburg College community
of learners. Discussion will be based upon readings from a variety of
disciplinesand sources collected in The Augsburg Anthology. (P/N grading
only; evaluation based on attendance and participation)
V Foreign Language
Department
The Foreign Language Department at Augsburg College contributes in
many ways to realizing the College's mission of providing liberal arts
education for service in today's world. The Department is committed to
the view that education should go beyond career preparation. So viewed,
foreign language study goes beyond the development of new cornmunications skills to foster an abiding awareness that the splendid diversity
of human languages, literatures, and cultures represents a rich historic
legacy developed in different ways by many nations to be shared by all
in common. The Departmental faculty believe that familiarity with the
language and culture of another people is an essential step in the development of global perspective and hence is indispensable in the education
of Augsburg students.
The Foreign Language Department offers language, literature, and
culture courses in French, German, Norwegian, Russian, and Spanish.
Courses in Chinese, Japanese, Latin, and Greek are available to
Augsburg Students through the College's affiliation with ACTC, a
consortium of Twin Cities colleges.
A special perspective on language is also available to Augsburg students
in the linguistics courses offered by the Foreign Language Department.
Linguistics goes beyond the study of individual languages to investigate
the general principles which operate in and shape all languages and in
this way the study of linguistics affords the student a unique view of one
of the most intriguing and central facetsof the human mind.
Foreign language skills, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics,
are essential in preparing for a number of careers and represent a
valuable special qualification in many others. Anticipated careers in a
number of fields such as foreign language teaching translation, the
diplomatic corps, or international business may require a foreign language major, perhaps combined with a major in some other field. In
addition, students pursuing careers in many other fields such as health
care, social work, the ministry, psychology, or philosophy, to name just a
few, often find that a foreign language minor and/or the study of
linguistics qualifies them for special assignments in their chosen field.

activities.
The Physical Education Department provides the organizational framework for a wide range of educational experiences, including several
major and minor programs: general education in Physical Education
(Lifetime Sports); men's and women's intercollegiateathletic programs;
intramural programs for men and women; and athletic facilities for
developmental and recreational activities.

V History Department
(HIS)
History is to society what memory is to an individual; it brings to a
civilization an understanding of its identity. The distinguished Medievalist J.R. Strayer expresses it this way: "No community can survive and
no institution can function without constant reference to past experience.
We are ruled by precedents fully as much as by laws, which is to say that
we are ruled by the collective memory of the past. It is the memory of
common experiences which makes scattered individuals into a community."
A society's history is also a storehouse of human experiences that
enables us to deal more knowledgeably with the continuities and
changes in current issues. Established disciplines, as history long has
been, train the mind by developing concepts and skills that enables one
to deal with masses of information. Many have found that history is an
entree into the richer enjoyment of travel, cultural events, and the broad
reading enjoyed by the educated person. Accordingly, history has long
heid a major role in the liberal arts. This is true at Augsburg.
The Department has smngth in and requires of its majors work in four
main areas: ancient and medieval, modern Europe, United States, and
the non-Western world. The Department's graduates are well represented among professional historians; at present, six are in graduate
schools preparing for such careers. More have distinguished themselves
as social studies teachers in elementary and secondary schools and current projections indicate that there will be growing opportunity in that
field for history majors. For most of our students, however, the study of
history provides one of the better undergraduate liberal arts experiences,
valuable both for personal enrichment and a wide variety of career
choices.

(HUM)
Bruce Reichenbach (Chairperson), John Benson and Richard Nelson
The Humanities major provides the opportunity to reflect across departmental lines, to experience the ways in which different academic disciplines approach simiIar questions and issues, and to participate in interdisdplinary learning experiences. You can, in effect, m a t e your own
major by choosing a theme or topic you wish to study,and then by
taking courses in various departments relating to that theme.
The major was created especially to encourage students not majoring in
the humanities but in such areas as science, business, or social science to
broaden their insights and perspectives by taking a broadly-based
second major.
Major: g murses, including 275. Elve of the courses must be Upper Division.

V Mathematics and
Computer Science Department
At least since Socrates, scholars have appreciated the value of mathematics in developing the skills of critical thinking, understanding abstract
concepts, and analyzing and solving problems. Coupled with the more
modern needs of quantitative thinking, these skills are still essential for
any liberallyeducated person. Mathematics and computer science
courses at Augsburg are intended to help develop these skills.
Mathematical ideas in and of themselves have had a formative impact on
the development of civilization, and the development of computers has
already begun to influence modern society. To the extent that a liberal
education must include a variety of perspectives on our culture and
heritage, a study of these influences is important.
An increasing number of academic disciplines require a working knowledge of the tools of mathematics and computer science. This Department
serves students majoring in a wide variety of fields.
Majors within this Department axe prepared for graduate school, work in
industry,or semice professions, with opportunities to focus on either the
itheoretical or the appIied areas of their vocations. Internship and Coop
erative Education options help students takeadvantage of Augsbwg's
proximity to the many technically-oriented enterprises in the city. Thus
the Department aims to provide its own majors with skills necessary to
serve the larger community through a variety of careers.

recitals, major ensemble home concerts, or other designated music events is a
factor in determining the final grade received in performance studies. Music
majors must pass a total of three Music Repertoire tests; music minors must pass
one. (See Music Department Guides for contents of Music Repertoire tests.)
Recitals: A committee composed of the student's teacher and two other music
faculty members will determine the final grade for all recitals and will conduct
a prerecital hearing for senior B.M. Performance major recitals. Concurrent
registration in performance studies in the major performance medium is required for recital performance.

V Occupational Therapy
Adapting to disabilities and reshaping lives so that they are productive
and meaningful are some of the goals of the occupational therapist.
Occupational therapy is an applied science that teaches people skills to
enable them to perform the tasks of everyday living when a physical or
emotional disability has affected them. The ultimate goal of the occupational therapist is to provide people with the necessary skills to develop
a sense of wholeness and independence.
Given the orientation of this applied science to development of the
abilities of the whole person, it is appropriate that such a career preparation be founded in the liberal arts. Augsburg College has a cooperative 32 arrangement with Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, to
allow students to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College
and a Bachelor of Science or Master of Science degree in Occupational
Therapy from Washington University. The Bachlelor of Science requires
four semesters at Washington University, and the Master of Science
requires five.
Students spend their first three years at Augsburg College pursuing the
academic major of their choice and meeting general education requirements in the liberal arts. A student may choose any major at Augsburg
College while gaining the minimum prerequisite courses for the Occupational Therapy degree. Students are encouraged to consult the program
adviser and plan their programs carefully since fulfilling necessary
requirements in three years may be difficult in certain majors. Majors in
Biology, Psychology, and Sociology offer the least complicated alternatives.
Students accepted into the 3-2 program are guaranteed admission to the
Bachelor of Science program at Washington University provided they
have met course requirements, have at least a 3.0 average, and are recommended by the Augsburg College adviser. They will be given preference for admission to the Master of Science program at Washington
University if they fulfill the above requirements and receive two additional recommendations from health care professionals, faculty or work
supervisors.
Prerequisite courses for the Washington University Occupational Therapy Program: ENG111,BIO111,112,and473or353;CHM105or115;PHY103;PSY105,
351,362; SOC 121,241; SOC 362 or MAT 373.
V Philosophy
Department (PHI)
The Philosophy Department assists students in understanding issues
raised in the traditional areas of philosophy. To this end, we consider
problems of knowledge and questions of truth, the nature of reality, the
basis of values, and rules for correct reasoning. Our goals are to instill in
students a love of truth, to inspire a curiosity about significance and
meaning, and to develop the skills of critical analysis and creative
synthesis.
The liberal arts curriculum provides an opportunity for students to
explore different:aspectsof the world from a variety of perspectives or
disciplines. Philosophy plays a central role in the liberal arb by helping
students to explore questions about themselves, human experience, right
and wrong the world, and God. Beginning with hva Somatic principles:
'The unexamined I i k is not worth living," and 'Know yourself," the
study of philosophy assists students in the realization of their unique
potential for understanding and self-fulfillment.
At Augsburg the philosophy major i s founded upon the princi p1e that
philosophy is best learned at the feet of the masters. Therefore, the care
of the major consists of four courses in the history of philosophy leading
from the ancient Greeks and Romans, through the Medieval and the
Renaissance periods to the present. In these courses students are taught
how to read, understand, and criticize the great texts of the finest minds
in Western civilization.In addition, majors are expected to prepare
themselves in the discipline of philosophy by taking the various seminars which the Department offers, as well as exploring the opportunities
to study tutorially with the individual members of the Philosophy
faculty.
This major has been carefully planned so that students can easily supplement the study of philosophy with other studies. Though some majors
g o on to graduate school in philosophy, most use the major to prepare
for other professional studies such a s law, medicine, or Christian ministry. Many enter the market place, feeling that the study of philosophy
has given them the ability to think critically.
Philosophy Faculty: Mark Fuehrer (Chairperson), Kenneth Bailey,
Bruce Reichenbach, Paul Holmer
Major. 9 courses, including 130,141,242,343,344, and a course in the 400's (other
than 499). Five of the courses must be Upper Division.
Honors Major: Admission to the Philosophy Honors program is by recommendation of the philosophy faculty. Such recommendations will be made at the end
will consist of an honors thesis on an approved
of the junior year. The
topic of the student's choice, involving research above the course level, and a
defense of this thesis before the faculty of the Department.
Minor. 5 courses, including 2 from 141,242,343, and 344.
Note: 110,120,130, and 141 are recommended for fulfilling the general education
requirement.

Introduction to Philosophy: Ideas and Method
Though each person has his or her own set of ideas and beliefs, m l y have
theybeen critically analyzed or evaluated for rheir consistency, adequacy or
truth. One reason for this is that individuals lack the needed skills. Another
is that they may have had little opportunity to examine critically some of the
ideas basic to w e e m culture.The purpose of this course is to provide the
student with someexperienceinexamining ideas, and therebyto sharpen the
&ti& and analytical skills required to evaluate and construct a system of
ideas arid beliefs.
Ethics
This course studies moral judgments about personal and social issues, and
evaluates possible grounds for making moral decisions. It also investigates
the nature of happiness and its relation to the moral life.
Logic
Suppose someone gives you reasons, and then says you must accept a
particular conclusion. Must you? When does a conclusion validly follow
from premises? Here we examine the rules which govern valid arguments
and work to develop your ability to recognize and construct sound arguments.
Introduction to Philosophy Readings in Classical Texts
The writings of Plato and Aristotle are the foundations of all philosophical
thought in Western civilization. In this course students will read and analyze
some of the keyworks by Plato and Aristotle. In addition, other philosophical
schools of thought in the ancient world will be studied: Stoicism, Epicureanism and Neoplatonism in order to familiarize the student with the other
elements that constitute classical philosophy. An advanced introductory
course in philosophy for honor students, those contemplating a philosophy
major or minor and those students wishing a more in-depth approach to
philosophy at the introductory level. Excludes students enrolled for 110.

Department (PHY)
Physicists are not only curious about the world, but ambitious as well.
Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles which describe
and govern all physical aspects of the universe. Called "natural philosophers" in previous centuries, physicists investigate natural systems by
means of controlled experimentation and mathematical analysis. Physics
includes the study of systems ranging in size from sub-atomic particles
to the largest of galaxies, and from the relative stillness of near absolute
zero temperature to the fiery activity of the stars. As a fascinating and
expanding area of study and as a basic science, physics plays an important role in many of the liberal arts disciplines and contributes to
society's understanding of such areas as energy, weather, medical
science and space exploration.
Recognizing the importance of physics in contemporary life and realizing that keeping abreast of the rapid advances is an ever increasing
challenge, the Department intends to bring to the students not only basic
concepts but also insights into recent developments. In this process, the
faculty expects challenges to arise, be met, and stimulate sound thinking,
perceptive judgment, and an interest in experimental techniques.
To this end a rigorous major provides students with the in-depth preparation required for graduate study. More than two-thirds of the graduates in Physics have completed or are currently working toward graduate degrees at a number of fine universities across the nation. A major in
physics provides flexibility. It also serves as a stepping stone for graduate work in related areas such as computer science, atmospheric science
and meteorology, astronomy, oceanography, biophysics, environmental
science, engineering and medical and health related fields for many
physics graduates.
In addition, the Physics Program at Augsburg functions in a supportive
role for students majoring in mathematics, chemistry, biology and
computer science. The Department also supervises the Pre-Engineering
program with degree programs available at cooperating universities at
both the bachelofs and the advanced degree levels.
Cooperative Education, Internship, and Undergmduate Research programs provide opportunities for students to apply fheir physicaI science
knowledge and problem solving skills in practical situations in industrial, governmental, and academic settings. Students may participate in
alternating term Co-op programs or work part-time during two or more
academic terms. Internship opportunities alone generally involve only
one semester.
The Department serves the liberal arts tradition by offering courses for
the non-science students that will enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science. These courses seek to provide the
basic starting point for further study and the opportunity to enable
students to follow new developments with some degree of comprehension.

V Political
Science
Department
(POL)
Firmly grounded in the liberal arts tradition, political science has roots in
the humanities, including philosophy and history. Through its use of
statistical analysis, it relates not only to other behavioral sciences, but
also to mathematics and the sciences generally. The role and significance
of authority in human affairs establish the focus of political science;
because politics is a central and enduring reality in the world, it affects
and is affected by many other human concerns.
As an academic discipline, political science uses systematic inquiry and
analysis to examine political reality and to suggest and test alternatives.
The student who majors in political science will explore political ideas
and values, investigate political cooperation and conflict, analyze and
compare political systems, and develop perspectives on international
relations. In the process, the student will be encouraged to relate insights
from other liberal arts disciplines such as philosophy, psychology,
economics, history, and sociology to the study of politics.
Providing work in several sub-fields of political science, the major
supplies the breadth appropriate for graduate work in the discipline, as
well as in public adminstration, public policy analysis, law, and other
professions.If also serves as a foundation on which to deveIop careers in
public service, business, communications, and other fields. Legislative
and ofher Internships, as well as significant independent research projects, are within easy reach of Augsburg political science students in the
Twin Cities area; combined with broad, balanced and flexible course
offerings, these special opportunities enhance the student's potential for
graduate study and a successful career.
Augsburg political science students have the benefit of an experienced
faculty that brings a balanced expertise to the course offerings, as well as
special strengths in interpreting politics in the contexts of the mass communications media, communism, and American public law. The Departmental faculty is committed to the view that the study of politics, involving as it does an understanding of the human heritage and the importance of informed choice in human affairs, is an important aspect of
liberal learnings.

V Psychology Department
(PSY)
Psychology, with its emphasis on behavioral observation and data,
provides a perspective on human activities which is an integral part of a
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.
The Department's courses have three basic goals: (1) to introduce the
student to the current information and methods in psychology as well as
earlier approaches to psychological questions; (2) to develop the ability
to analyze, interpret, and evaluate behavioral research, and (3) to provide practice in the application of these principles. The Department
program provides an emphasis on both field experiences and the theoretical foundation for graduate study in psychology and related areas.
Cooperative Education and Internships are designed to provide students
with practical pre-professional experience. On the job experience gives
students the opportunity to test career fields and develop professional
contacts.
Psychologists use a variety of methods to study behavior, including
experimentation, observation and clinical case analysis. Faculty members
in the Department of Psychology at Augsburg have varied professional
specializations which include areas such as counseling, physiological
psychology, human development, personality and computer
applications.
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 and government, as well as in careers such as research, law, and
medicine.
Student interns are placed in the metropolitan area where they can
acquire practical, pre-professional experience and develop professional
contacts. This program mutually benefits the students and the
community.

V Religion
Department (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 Western world to a
degree much greater than is sometimes recognized. 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 by a better knowledge of biblical history
and that of the Christian church, and by a larger 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 those prominent in the West. The Department of Religion seeks
to introduce students to some of these major religious traditions.
Courses in religion are not intended to be footnotes to courses in other
disciplines and departments. The study of religion and the discipline of
theology have an integrity of their own. It is the hope and expectation of
the Department that students will become better acquainted with the
content and character of the Christian faith and enable them to reflect
theologically on their own religious commitment.
The College offers both a major and a minor in Religion. Students who
wish to work in the church as a parish or youth worker or as a director of
Christian Education may find a major in religion appropriate for that
purpose.
Religion Faculty: Philip Quanbeck (Chairperson), John Benson, Bradley Holt,
Curtis Peter, Stephen Pinsky, Eugene Skibbe
Major: 8 courses, including 111,221,356,481 and 495, the seminar especially for
majors, taken in the junior or senior year. Before taking the seminar, each major
must have written 1 formal research paper and placed it on file with the
Department Chairperson. Only 1 Interim course may be applied to the major.
One Upper Division New Testament Greek course may be applied to the major.
Major in Church Staff Work: 9 courses, including 111,221,356,358,360 or 483,362,
399,471 or 473,481. These together with specified courses in other departments
can lead to Augsburg certification.
Program for Christian Day School Teachers: Students pursue one of the regular
teacher education programs in the Department of Education to prepare for
licensure by the State of Minnesota. In addition to the licensure program, 5
courses in religion are required: 111,221,362, The Christian Day School (Interim)
and The Lutheran Heritage (Interim). Student Teaching experience is required
in both a public school setting and in a Christian Day School.
This program prepares students who are interested in teaching in Christian Day
Schools, particularly those of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America,
although participation is not limited to such schools.
Honors Major: GPA of 3.3 in the major and 3.0 overall; research project approved
by the Department and colloquium with the Department.
Minor: 5 courses. Not more than 1 Interim course may be counted for the minor.
Certificate in Church Staff Work: 9 Religion courses (111,221,356,358,360 or 483,
362,399,471 or 473,481); HPE 232; PSY 105,351,352 or 371,485; SOC 211 or PSY
373, SOC 231; SPC 354. This program meets or exceeds the educational requirements of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, but certification by the
church is a separate function. By adding 2 or 3 courses from appropriate departments, the student can develop special emphases in parish education, business
management or diaconal work.
Notes: Religion 111 or 221 is prerequisite to all other courses. Department approval
is necessary before courses taken in other colleges can be accepted for Religion
Department and/or general education course credit. All majors are urged to
consult with the Department Chairperson.

V Social Work
Devartment
The Social Work major program prepares graduates for entry-level
professional practice in the field of human services. The program is
accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, and leads to a
Bachelor of Science degree. The program is based on a generalist model
of practice, enabling graduates to work with individuals, families,
groups, communities, and to develop and analyze social policy.
The College's commitment to the liberal arts is highly compatible with
education for professional social work practice. The liberal arts with its
emphasis on breadth of understanding, cultural and ethnic diversity,
openness to new ideas, analysis and synthesis, is an ideal foundation for
social work education. As Sir Richard Livingston has said, "A technician
is a person who knows everything there is to know about his/her job
except its ultimate purpose and social consequence." Effective social
workers should not be technicians. Augsburg social work graduates are
entry level professionals.
Augsburg College's motto, "Education for Service," exemplifies the
philosophy of the Social Work Department. Unique learning opportunities for field work placement and cultural enrichment are provided by a
metropolitan setting known for a humane quality of life which is enhanced by the arts, outstanding human services, and a highly-educated
populace. Social work opportunities abound. Minnesota is known for the
vitality and relevance of its social services. The Twin Cities, as the hub
for these services, provides both a plethora of field placements for social
work students and external experts for the classroom. The ethnic and
economic diversity present in this metropolitan area provides opportunities for social work students to learn to understand, appreciate, respect,
and work with people different from themselves and to be enriched by
this opportunity to interact with diverse clients and professionals.
The Social Work Program strives to contribute to its environment as well
as to gain from it. Appropriately, social work students have been involved in a wide variety of community service efforts including helping
to develop a Big Brother/Big Sister program on campus, mobilizing
students to assist a social service agency in their annual Christmas giving
program, and tutoring at a local neighborhood center.
The Social Welfare minor and electives in the Department allow students
to support another major while gaining knowledge about human needs
and growth, human services, and the methods of effective citizenship.
Students taking these courses have the opportunity to become knowledgeable about public issues and develop and nurture a perspective that
sees the central importance of diversity to the social fabric of this country. But beyond knowledge, students are encouraged to use their talents
and skills to address the needs of society in the interest of the public
good.

V Sociology Department
(SOC)
Sociology is a disciplined study of human social behavior. As a relatively
young discipline, sociology provides yet another perspective on a theme
which is common to many of the disciplines in a liberal arts curriculum,
namely the theme that humans are "social animals." Sociology emphasizes the extent to which the human inclination to interact socially comes
to exhibit regularized patterns over time. These patterns together form a
society or a social structure.
Sociology seeks to understand these societal patterns. Sociology also
seeks to understand patterns within the great variety of institutions that
exist in a society.
The Sociology Department at Augsburg is designed to help students
think sociologically in terms of obtaining an understanding of society
and developing skills in evaluating social institutions and programs.
Students are encouraged to select as electives some of the non-traditional
learning models available, such a s Internships, Independent Study,
Interim courses, and the co-learning courses offered through the Conservation of Human Resources (CHR) program. The Department urges
students to use Augsburg's urban setting as a "laboratory" for learning.
A major in sociology can prepare one for a variety of careers or for
advanced professional studies. Cooperative Education a n d Internships
enable majors t o apply the theo.ries and research skills of sociology while
they explore career alternatives. Augsburg alumni w h o have majored in
sociology a r e currently employed in the personnel departments of both
government and private corporations, i n industrial relations work, and
in program evaluation. Others have used their majors as preparation for
advanced study in areas such as law, the ministry, social work, and
urban planning.
The Department of Sociology welcomes students who, in their quest for
a liberal education, are looking for new and different ways of understanding and appreciating the often taken-for-granted aspects of our
world.
Sociology Faculty: Diane Pike (Chairperson), Jerry Gerasimo, Gordon Nelson,
Garry Hesser, Barbara Johnson
Major: 10 courses including 121,349,362,363,375,485. Highly recommended: a

of the variety of learning models offered through the Department. Consult
Department Chairperson concerning areas of concentration.
Honors Major: The student must have a minimum GPA of 3.5 in the major and 3.0
overall. Application for honors in sociology candidacy shall consist of submission of thesis proposal to Department Chairperson before April 1of the junior

and Theatre Arts
Department (SPC)
+ Communication
Speech, communication, and theatre arts at Augsburg are humane
studies designed to promote sensitivity and wisdom in the use of
communication, since true communication aims to foster informed,
responsible choice and shared understanding.
The primary aim of the Department is to help students to communicate
effectivelythrough both speaking and writing. The courses are designed
(1) to promote the intellectual disciplines required for research, exposition, and argument; (2) to develop writing and speaking skills; (3) to
build confidence, creativity, and ethical sensitivity; and (4) to provide a
wide variety of realistic communication experiences.
Communication careers call for a broad liberal arts education, so the
communication major at Augsburg begins with a foundation of logic,
psychology, sociology, literature, writing, and public speaking. In addition to these preparatory courses, the communication major requires five
core courses: advanced writing, interpersonal communication, persuasive communication, mass media, and a communication Internship.
With the help of a faculty adviser, the student selects five elective
courses pertaining to one of the following communication emphases:
journalism, public relations, supervisory management, human relations,
broadcast media, speech or theatre arts education. For breadth we rec-
ommend double majors, and for practical experience we recommend
participation in co-curricular communication activities throughout the
college years, climaxing in Internships under professional supervision.
This major is also used as preparation for other fields, such as religion,
politics, and law. The speech major is designed to prepare students for
teaching in the secondary schools.
Students should meet with a Departmental adviser as early as possible to
plan the major and obtain a copy of the Departmental Handbook.
+ Theatre Arts
Theatre is not primarily an extracurricular activity nor is it merely
entertainment. As a laboratory that uses all of the liberal arts, theatre
enhances a liberal arts education. By reliving how other people throughout history were thinking, feeling and struggling, actors have a greater
understanding of their own humanity. Theatre enables students to
experience the beauty, mystery, and ambiguity of life.
Minneapolis-St. Paul is an ideal place to study theatre, because it is one
of the major theatre centers in the United States. Augsburg students
expand their knowledge of theatre not only by attending, but also by
working in the professional and community theatres of the Twin Cities.
Our theatre faculty has professional experience which enables them to
provide realistic guidance to students.
The Augsburg program encourages students to participate in all aspects
of theatre production while providing each student the opportunity of
emphasizing one specific area, such as acting, directing, or design. While
the program is primarily designed to prepare students for educational
theatre, graduates go into many other fields, such as professional theatre,
television, film, advertising, business, and religion.
Speech, Communication and Theatre Arts Faculty: Julie Bolton (Chairperson),
Raymond Anderson, Deborah Bart, David Lapakko, Martha Johnson

Introduction to Augsburg Weekend College
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
bachelor's degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for
career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the
liberal arts.
The Adult as Student
The Augsburg Weekend College program 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.
Alternate Weekends
To accommodate this format for learning, classes meet on alternate
weekends for three and a half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday
morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon.* Each class selected
by the student involves commitment to one of these four class periods.
Weekend College students may take from one to four different courses by
attending class every other weekend.
Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg Weekend College is participation in a
community of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the
student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and
encouragement to become involved in interaction 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 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.
*Laboratory sections or additional class hours may be scheduled on evenings
during the week.
Information Sessions
Adults who are interested in Augsburg Weekend College are encouraged
to attend one of the information sessions that are scheduled throughout
the year. These information sessions are free of charge and are
approximately 2 hours in length. Please call the Weekend College Office
(330-1782) to receive further details on these information sessions or to

Coaching Endorsement
Students interested in adding a coaching endorsement must complete
required courses in the Physical Education program. If interested, please
contact the Education Department at 330-1130 for further information.
English
Those who study English believe that an intense concern for words, ideas
and images helps us understand who we are and who we can become.
Writing helps us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us
contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through English
study 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 determining structures. With speech and communications,
English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other
social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have
acted and thought at different times and in different cultures.
Major: 9 courses above 111, including 225; one course in American
literature; one course in Western literary tradition (271or 272); and three
courses in British literature, one on literature before 1660 (for example, 331
or 438) and one that surveys a number of writers (336,337, 423). Majors
are encouraged to take ENG 245 early in their college work and to consult
their departmental advisor regularly. A student with a double major or
special program that involves considerable work in the English
department should also work closely with an advisor in the department.
English-Language Arts Teaching Major: 10 courses, including those
listed under the major, a course in linguistics, and an internship in the
teaching of writing. One course must include a component in nonWestern literature. In addition, the ACTC courses Communications Skills
in the English Classroom and Teaching Mass Media are required.
Courses in early American literature, Shakespeare, and film are
recommended. Several of the required courses are not offered on
Weekends. Students in this program must work with advisers in the
English Department and the Education Department in order to meet the
professional requirements within the Education Department as well as
requirements in the major.
New licensure rules become effective July 1, 1989. Students who seek
licensure after that time will be subject to the new licensure rules.

one writing course above the freshman level (223, 225, 226, or 227).

Nursing
Augsburg Weekend College offers registered nurses an upper division
nursing major as a second step toward the completion of the Bachelor of
Science degree. Fully accredited by the National League for Nursing, this
major is a professional program that is accessible on weekends to nurses
who are unable to attend classes during the weekdays. Classes are
primarily scheduled on alternate weekends, but all courses in the major
may have additional class or lab hours beyond the weekend schedule.
Admissions Procedures
Admission to the nursing program includes first being accepted into
Augsburg Weekend College through the procedures described on page
66. As candidates for the nursing major, RNs must demonstrate
evidence of completion of an associate degree or diploma program,
current nursing practice, and Minnesota licensure. While an RN may take
general education courses and prerequisite courses for the nursing major,
further progress in the major is contingent upon:
1. Satisfactory completion at a college or university of the prerequisite
courses: Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, Inorganic Chemistry,
Organic or Biochemistry, English Composition, Introductory
Sociology and Introductory Psychology.
2. A cumulative gradepoint average of at least 2.5
3. Successful completion of testing to validate lower division nursing
knowledge.

Social Work
Accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, the Bachelor of
Science in Social Work degree program at Augsburg College is built on a
solid liberal arts foundation, on theory-based training, and on
professionally directed field experiences. As important, social work
education at Augsburg is built on an appreciation for the needs,
concerns, and values of the individuals and groups who constitute
today's multi-cultural society. The Social Work major in Augsburg
Weekend College includes seven courses from the departments of
psychology, biology, and sociology. Concentrations are possible in the
areas of aging, chemical dependency, corrections, social ministries, and
youth work. Field work is an important component of the program.

*Students interested in Social Work should begin their program with the
required supporting courses. The professional sequence will be offered
when a sufficient number of students are ready for that portion of the
program.
Social Welfare Minor
6 courses including 257 or department approved alternative internship,
361, 463; Psychology 351 or Sociology 375; Sociology 265; and Political
Science 121or 158 or 325, or Social Work 465.
Minors
In addition to minors offered in Business, Communication, MIS and
Social Welfare (listed under each respective major), Weekend College
students are able to complete minors in the following areas:
Psychology Minor
5 courses including 105, with a minimum of 2 courses at Augsburg. Not
more than one course from 299,399 and 499 may be counted toward the
minor.
Religion Minor
5 courses approved by the department.
Sociology Minor
5 courses including 121 and two upper division courses (numbered 300
and above).
Dean's List
The Dean's List is compiled after each semester, listing students whose
grade point average for a semester is 3.5 or better, based on a minimum of
two full courses, or equivalent, graded on the traditional grading system,
with no incompletes in courses offered for credit.
Probation and Dismissal
A student will be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term if
his or her achievement is unsatisfactory. Dismissal from the College is not
automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee on Student Standing.
A student who has a poor academic record may be strongly advised to
withdraw before the end of the term. A student who has been on
probation for two terms and withdraws from the College voluntarily must
have special permission to re-enroll. See Augsburg College Catalog for
complete explanation.
Grading Procedures
Evaluation and 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 to 0.0 scale or the PasslNo Credit system, in which P means a grade of
2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Students
are cautioned to use the PIN grade option with care since some graduate
and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of Pgraded courses, or rank each as a "C." Transfer students are cautioned
that P-graded courses do not count in the requirement that 14
traditionally graded courses be earned at Augsburg in order to be
considered for graduation with distinction. See PIN limitations under
Graduation Requirements in the Augsburg College Catalog.
Certain courses are offered on one grading system only. Sociology 265 is
graded only on the PIN grading system and some education courses are
graded only on the PIN system or only on the traditional system. English
111is graded P or N, or 2.0-4.01N. Some other courses are graded only P,
1.0, N. Lifetime Sports are graded P1O.O.
In courses where this is a choice, students will be graded on the
traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish
to use the PIN 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 Registration.
Explanation of Grades
Number grades are used with these definitions:
4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence
3.5
3.0 Achieves above basic course standards
2.5
2.0 Meets basic standards for the course
1.5
1.0 performance below basic course standards
0.5
0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course)
Grade of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point
average. A grade of P represents work at or above the 2.0 level; N
represents work at the 1.5 or below level.
An incomplete grade may be given only in the case of extreme
emergency. To receive it, a student must file a petition with the
Committee on Student Standing stating the reasons for the request, the
plan and date for removing it, and comments from the instructor. If
permission is granted, the incomplete must be removed during the
following semester, or it becomes the grade submitted by the teacher
along with the incomplete.
Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes
last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed
by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first
term of registration. A grade of X 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. The Registrar's Office will
automatically continue the registration in response to an X grade. A final
grade will be issued at the end of the term in whcih the work is
completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor
reserves the discretion of not giving an X where satisfactory progress is
not demonstrated. Withdrawal from college, or dropping these continued
courses will terminate their registration. Under this circumstance, a reregistration as 1X by the student would be necessary if done during
registration periods within one year of initial registration; if done after
one year a new registration would be necessary.
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by
registering for Audit (V). The charge for auditing a course is listed under
Fees and Payment Schedule. Students who audit a course should confer
with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to
determine expectations, attendance and any other requirement. If
expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as
having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will
be listed with a grade of W (Withdrawn).
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at
Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work
transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the PIN grading option
are recorded, but not computed in the GPA.
Classification
Students are classified in August and at the end of fall and winter terms.
Sophomores - 7 courses completed with at least 14 grade points.
Junior - 16 courses completed with at least 32 grade points.
Seniors - 25 courses completed with at least 50 grade points.
Withdrawal from College
Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered,
since this results in a failing grade on the official record. Cancellation of
courses or withdrawal from college must be done in the Registrar's Office.
Withdrawal from college cannot occur during final examination week
unless a petition is approved by the Student Standing Committee.
Withdrawal from college and resulting adjustments in accounts are
effective as of the date the completed Withdrawal From College form is
returned to the Registrar's Office.
Graduation with Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined as follows:
Summa cum laude 3.8 to 4.0 cumulative GPA
Magna cum laude 3.6 up to but not including 3.8 cumulative GPA
Cum laude 3.3 up to but not including 3.6 cumulative GPA
To qualify for graduation with distinction, transfer students must have
completed two years (14 traditionally graded courses) of work at
Augsburg .
Assessment of Previous Learning (APL)
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 programs
of a liberal arts college. The APL program (Assessment of Previous
Learning) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous
learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited
institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward
the completion of a bachelor's degree.
Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit
recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential
criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the
Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and (2) it can be objectively
demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee
evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by
which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit
recognition:
CLEP (College Level Examination Program)
Students who achieve acceptable scores in CLEP exams may receive
academic credit in Augsburg College. CLEP exams are available in a
variety of general and specific subject areas. For more information,
contact Weekend College Admissions (330-1792) or the regional CLEP
center at the University of Minnesota (624-3323).
Departmental Assessment
Students who wish to receive credit for a specific academic course and do
not have transcript evidence of completed work may request a
departmental assessment of previous learning. This will most often
include an examination that covers the essential components of the
course involved. For more information, contact the Registrar's Office
(330-1036).
CAP (Credit Assessment Process)
This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty committee
completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the
student. Informal meetings and consultation are provided for students
who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit
assessment. Students may apply for CAP after completing at least four
courses of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative GPA of
at least 2.5. For more information, contact the Registrar's Office (330-1036).

History
I

moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The name Augsburg College and
Seminary changed in 1963when the Lutheran Free Church merged with
The American Lutheran Church.

Skyways, tunnels and elevators provide accessible connection between 10
of the 15 major buildings - student housing towers, College Center, main
academic and administrative halls, the Library, Music building and 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.
About 51% of the students are Lutheran, 15% other Protestant and 15O/0
Roman Catholic. Several other affiliations are represented among
students and faculty.

Those who hope to lead had better understand both
rationally and intuitively the people who might be theix
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
leader hip 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.

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
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. Upon completion of the
entire practicum, students receive a half course credit. In each
term, one Saturday and one Thursday evening are devoted to
"Leadership Practicum."
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. In tructional
techniques ar varied, u h as ca e tudy, d bate, written and oral

D valuation Standards
Evaluation of academic performance for the Master of Arts in
Leadership 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 Achieves the minimum passing standard
P
Achieves at or above the 2.0 level (not computed in grade point
average)
N

W
Grade given when course is dropped
Incomplete grade given in case where student is unable to
complete course requirements for reasons beyond the
student's control (to receive an incomplete, a student must file
a letter with the Graduate Program staff stating reasons for the
request, the plan and date for removing the incomplete grade,
the signature of the instructor, and any other necessary
documentation) .
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. A
plan for the student to follow would be outlined at that time. If the
cumulative grade point average again falls below 3.0, the student
may be dismissed from the program by the Graduate Program

Program 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.

Arts in Leadership program, it is unlikely that courses taken
elsewhere may be substituted for a particular course in the
curriculum. Students may petition the Graduate Program
Committee for approval of any variation in the curriculum
including the transfer of credit or the receipt of credit for other
training.
Credit and Contact Hours
Each graduate course in the Master of Arts in Leadership program
is the equivalent of four semester credits or six quarter credits.
Students meet in class a total of 30 hours (excluding finals) and are
responsible for a significant amount of individual study and
preparation.
Enrollment Policy/Leaves of Absence
Students may take either one or two courses each trimester.
Enrolling in two courses per trimester enables a student to
complete the program in two years. All students are required to
complete the program within four years. Extensions beyond four
years will be considered on the basis of petition to the Graduate
Program Committee. Students who leave the program for more
than one term must request a leave of absence in writing from the
Graduate Program Committee.

Augsburg Courses
Introduction t o Interim
I n t e r i m is an integral part of the schoolyear at Augsburg College.
The College follows a 4-1-4 calendar, with Fall and Spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week~ a n u a r ~
Interim. Interim is particularly intended to be a time for both
students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and
to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible
during the regular term.
Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students should
plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for
class as they would for a four-course load during Fall and Spring
semesters. Students can register for only one course credit during
Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not
to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale.
Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/No credit
basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the P/N system;
this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division
standing. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and the
student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous
grading standard.
To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35
courses of which at least three must be Interim courses (or one
Interim less than the number of years of full-time enrollment at
Augsburg; e.g., a transfer enrolled full time for two years is required to complete one Interim for graduation).
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the basis
of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or
handicap 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, educational programs, activities and
employment practices.

Options
International Interim-Students arc invited to bc part of one of the
23 international interims offcrcdby the Uppcr Midwest Association for lntcmationfll Education (U M AIE). Thcsc course opportuni ties arc listed near the cnd of this catalog.
Internships-January Interim internships must be planned in advance. Students electing an internship must meet departmental
requirements and present a signed internship learning agreement
plan to theInternshipOffice (Murphy Place, Rm. 8) no later than the
last day of Fall classes (Friday, December 8). The Learning Agreement forms are available in the same office. Internships during
Interim must involve full-time work placements for approximately
4 weeks. Assistance for planning your internship is available in the
Internship and Cooperative Education office.
Independent or Directed Study-Studentsmay elect a program of
independent study (upper division 499) or directed study (lower
division 299) for Interim. Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting responsibilityfor more than one independent
study per Interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or
directed study must:
1. Meet departmental requirements.
2. Present to the Registrar for approval a copy of the proposed
study plan approved by the supervising faculty member.
This proposal must be submitted at least one week before
registration and no later than December 4. Appropriate
study proposal forms can be obtained in the Interim Office.
Interims at Other Schools-Augsburg students may enroll at any
other 4-1-4 institution which offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these Interims can be consulted in the Interim
Office. The Interim Secretary will help students in applying for
registration at other schools. Registration for Interims at the other
Twin Cities colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Most courses taught during the Interim at other 41-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not
necessarily be accepted as meeting Augsburg's distribution requirements. This qualification particularly affects courses offered
for the Religion requirement.
Visiting Students
Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-1-4 schools for
the January Interim without tuition charges provided the student's
home institution agrees not to charge tuition to Augsburg students
for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special
fees, housing or board costs. Other students will be charged $650
for the Interim course. Students interested in registering for an
Augsburg Interim should write to the Interim Director for application forms or use the forms provided by the Interim office at their
own school. There is an applicationprocessingfee of $10. Students
are welcome to stay on campus but are not required to do so.
Requests for Interim housing should be made to the Interim Office.

Viruses: At the Threshold of Life
BIO 116-40003
Instructor: Robert Herforth
Most biologists consider viruses to be the simplest form of
life. Most viruses consist basically of a few genes surrounded by a protein coat. They are able to function and
multiply only as parasites inside living cells. For all their
seeming simplicity, some of the most dreaded diseases
afflicting humans are caused by viruses, including polio,
rabies, AIDS, and some forms of cancer. This course will
begin with a short history of some major discoveries on
viruses, followed by a study of the structure of viruses, and
their multiplication in and effects on living cells. We will
also look at the ways in which the body defends itself
against viral invasion, at the development of vaccines and
new anti-viral drugs, and at some important diseases
caused by viruses, including AIDS. Grades will be based
on several quizzes and exams given during the course.

located on Big Pine Key. The institute offers laboratory
facilitiesand field trips in addition to housing and a dining
hall. Field trips will permit the study of diverse habitats
suchas thoseof shallowbays, coral reefs, mangrove swamps
and intertidal areas. Organisms from these communities
and others will be investigated onsite and in thelaboratory.
A marine biologist will be available to lead the field trips
and conduct specialized classes.
Preparation for the excursion to the keys will be made
during the first week. This will include an introduction to
marine biology utilizinga variety of audiovisual materials.
The final week will be devoted to study and the preparation of a paper.
The course will have an interdisciplinary component with
students interacting with students from John Mitchell's
writing class and Philip Thompson's art course and with
each student completing a project related to one of the
other disciplines.
Evaluation will be based on overall participation in the

High vacuum technology is crucial to many current "high
technologies," including advances in experimental science
in all fields, production of semiconductors and superconductors, and manipulation of gases and "sensitive" materials. Despite this, general awareness of high vacuum
technologies lags far behind their development. This
course will acquaint the student with technologies currently employed in producing and monitoring a high
vacuum environment, and with the physical behavior of
gases and surfaces under vacuum conditions. Activities
will include both seminars and laboratory sessions, some
in conjunction with Physics 325. Students will learn to use
high vacuum pumps and gauges, a modern mass spectrometer, and PC-based computer controllers and computer-compatible sensors.
Grades will be based on laboratory work, two quizzes, and

The Prose Poem: Creative Writing in the
Florida Keys
ENG 234-40031; 345-40033
Instructor: John Mitchell
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to
creative writing and to refine the creative writing of more
experienced students through attention to fidelity of imagery and integrityof simile,metaphor,rhythm, and sound.
The prose poem is a friendly, productive form to achieve
these goals because of its emphasis upon down-to-earth
personal observation and reportorial response to the natural and human environment, which, in this case, will be the
Florida Keys. Instruction in the history and techniques of
the prose poem will be accompanied by some attention to
the literary response of Ernest Hemingway and Wallace
Stevens to Key West. Some interdisciplinary experience
with Phil Thompson's course in drawing and watercolor
and Ralph Sulerud's course in marine biology, as a way of
facilitating "seeing." Grading will be based upon the
quality and progress in writing ten revised prose poems.
Students who take the course for upper division credit will
be required to do additional reading and to make oral
reports to the class based on this reading.
Further informationwill be found listed under THE FLORIDA KEYS at the beginning of the list of courses.
Prerequisites: Permission of instructor and, for upper
division credit, one college course in creative writing.

French Literature in Translation
FRE 243-40030
Instructor: Ruth Aaskov
What is there about French literature that merits the English translation of so much of it? What is its attraction, its
power, its human and artistic significance for the reader?
With these questions in mind, we will read, react to, and
analyse a variety of shorter French works available to us in
English.
We will explore masterpieces of earlier times like those of
Rabelais, Montaigne, Voltaire, Balzac, and Flaubert, as
well as significant 20th Century works. Reading and discussion of the common core works will be followed by
your personal study of a chosen short work to be shared
with the class via a short comparative paper. Mini-lectures
and study guides will help attentive reading of the works
and developing your communication and critical skills.
Evaluation will include your progress in group work and
discussion, your demonstrated understanding in reading,
writing assignments, quizzes, and independent study.

investigate theevolutionof that roleand the way that it has
been exercised in the past 150 years. We will study the
interaction of women with reform movements in an effort
to discover how women influenced major reform efforts
and how, in turn, those movements reshaped the role of
women in an industrializing and urbanizing society.
Our investigation will include several books, primarily
biographies of such reformers as Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
Margaret Sanger and Jane Addams and studies of such
movements as suffrage, antislavery, educational reform,
political reform, women's rights, and peace activisni.

in which they were created? Is art timebound or timeless?
All art forms are linked to a particular time and place. We
see that the visual arts, music and theatre always reflect the
spiritual and intellectual climate of its time. Using examples of music, art and theatre created in France in the
years 1650-1900, the course will explore how to appreciate
and understand the various art forms, examine the relationships among the arts, and consider the expression of
enduring themes and ideas at different points in time.

Philosophy
The Ethics of Killing and Letting Die
PHI 146-40053
Instructor: David Apolloni
Is abortion wrong? Is killing a terminally-ill person murder? Are there some crimes for which capital punishment
is justified? Is there such a thing as a just war?
These questions and the various answers proposed arouse
deep emotions and often hostile confrontations among
many groups in our society. All too often, complex moral
issues get reduced down to simplistic slogans when these
groups campaign to maintain or change laws on these
issues.
This course will utilize readings on these complex and
burning moral issues as an introduction to ethics and
critical moral thinking. We will consider some philosophical theories on the nature of moral obligation and personhood to help us get past emotions and slogans to a much
deeper and informed understanding of the philosophical
problcms which lic behind thc controversies surrounding
aborlion, euthanasia, capital punishment, and war.
The course will combine lecture and class discussion on
some contemporary philosophical readings on killing.
Students' work will be evaluated on the basis of four (2 to
3) page papers (each on some aspect of one of the topics)
and class participation.

Philosophy of Science
PHI 365-40037
Instructor: Ken Bailey
Sometimesitis said that welive in the Age of Science. What
does that mean? In what sense(s)might such a statement
be said to be true or false? On the other hand, some
astrologers say that we have just begun the Age of Aquarius, the Water Bearer, who is supposed to usher in an age
of peace and prosperity. Are these two notions in conflict?
Are they compatible? Is it really true that only science can
say something meaningful about Reality? Are there any
limits to scientific method? What does science have to say
about values? How do you recognize a pseudo-science?
These and other questions about scientificmethods, scientific knowledge, and applications of science to human life
will be examined. (Is your future written in the stars?)
Primarily a discussion course. Grades will be based upon
a mid-term and a final examination; course participation;
and a study project.

Spreadsheets (e.g., Lotus 1-2-3)have been used extensively
in business for years. However it is also possible to solve
physics problems without using high-powered mathematics. Spreadsheets allow the student who is not an expert in
mathematics to experience physics on a more intuitive
level. We will use Lotus 1-2-3 to solve problems in a wide
variety of physics areas including planetary motion and
projectile motion. Some of the problems investigated
might be in areas other than physics. Grading will bebased

Political Science
Social Justice in America
POL 140-40059
Instructor: Andy Aoki
Social justice is one of the burning issues of modem politics. For moral theorists, the nature of socialjustice is a continuing challenge; For practical politicians, it is a question
which can bc ignorcd but not avoidcd. From pmatal caw
for poor women to mcdical c a p for the elderly, most
important public policy debates involve questions of social
justice. To adequately consider these policy questions, one
must have some conception of social justice.
In this class, you will work to develop your ideas of social
justice, and to understand how they apply to public policies. The policies to be considered will vary depending on
student interest, but the range of possible issues is vast,
including such topics as student financial aid, jobs programs, school choice, aid to the poor, Social Security,
environmental protection, and military service.
The majority of class time will be spent in discussions.
Participation is essential. Reading will be fairly light, but
everyone is expected to actively engage in class activities
and discussions. No prior knowledge is needed, but an
interest in public issues is important. Requirements will
consist of short papers, class participation, and a brief final
exam.
Although the workload is moderate, the course is mentally
demanding. Rigorous thinking about social justice can be
troubling; some questions will be provocative and disturbing. Students should be willing to tackle difficult intellectual challenges; doing so will enable you to gain a better
understanding of some of the most difficult problems of
our time, and to make a greater contribution to efforts to
deal with those problems.

REL 251-40063;349-40067
Instructors: John Benson and Duane Addison
We invite you to come to Hawaii with us for a special class.
Other January Interim courses go to Hawaii as well, but
this one will be distinctive.
Saying "Hawaii" can conjure up images of beaches, palm
trees, and winter tans. We will not ignore these aspects of
Hawaii, but we will also probebeneath the image projected
to most tourists. We will study how Hawaii
"works"-politically, economically, and culturally. Three
social problems in particular tourism, militarism, and cultural confrontation will provide the focus of this learning
experience from a Christian ethical point of view.
First we will look at some less attractive aspects of the
tourism industry. Who benefits and who loses? Representatives of Hawaii's diverse peoples and viewpoints will
offer insights into the ecological, economic, and political
consequences of marketing the islands as a tourist paradise.
Secondly we will learn to see the U.S. military presence on
the islands in a new way. Many Americans associate
Hawaii with the bombing of Pearl Harbor and World War
11. But the presence of the U.S. Pacificcommand continues
to have significant implications for both the people and
ecosystems of Hawaii.
Finally, culturn1 conflict and confrontation in Hawaii will
be studied. Many immigrant groups havc come to the
islands: Japnesc, chine.^, Filipinos, Tongans, Samoans,
Portuguese,mainland Americans, and others. The interaction of these groups with native Polynesians yields a high
degree of cultural diversity. We will learn about the
exploitation and racial tensions that exist, as well as ways
in which diversity is appreciated and celebrated.
The cost for the course is $1,995.00, and it can be taken for
religion or crosscultural credit. We will visit the islands of
Oahu, Hawaii, and Maui, traveling via buses, vans, and
planes. Our accommodations will vary, including a camp
in the mountains, another camp on the beach, and several
tourist-level hotels.
Grades will be based on degree of involvement, the quality of contribution to the discussions and a journal. Upper
division credit will require a special project which will involve a presentation to the group.
Distribution: Religion
Prerequisites: Permission of instructor; for upper division credit, one course in college level religion, East

The Theology of Marriage
REL 343-40070
Instructors: Curt Paulson, Cathy Paulson
Marriage has been described in terms of a free fall, a
decision which we often make with a portion of our brain
and all of our heart. This course will take nothing from the
heart, whether you are married or not, but it will increase
your sureness and the possibility for meaning/intimacy in
your life with a significant other. Within the context of
Christian teachings, many theories, with particular attention given to the work of C. G. Jung, will be studied and
applied to the marital relationship and secondarily to the
family.
There will be lectures, discussion, and visiting resource
persons. Evaluation will be based on class participation,
and an examination. Two books will be required.

Instructor: Brad Holt
Off thebeaten track of American tourists, this journey will
focus on meeting African people, observing their religious
rituals, music and art, and pondering their history. We will
converse with urban and rural Africans of different faiths,
different levels of education, in different climates. After
visiting the collections of African art in London, we will
journey to Nigeria, an English-speaking nation, and the
most populous of all African states. There we will encounter the three basic religious traditions of Africa: African
Traditional Religions, Christianity, and Islam. Each will
bring intriguing surprises, as they reflect African culture in
ways different from what can be found in the U.S.A.
First we will visit Ibadan, largest traditional African city
and metropolis of the Yoruba people. We will explore the
contemporary forms of the ancient Yoruba tradition, observe the work of the babalawo or diviner, and the dramatic worship services of the Aladura Christian churches.
We will visit the universities of Ibadan and Ife to dialogue
with Nigerian professors and students.
At Benin, site of the ancient Kingdom discovered by the
Portuguese in the 1400s,we will observe the world famous
bronze sculptures in the Benin Art Museum. We will meet
different traditions among the Igbo people, whose culture
has been so dramaticallydescribed in the novels of Chinua
Achebe.
We will see the forces of change in the "Middle Belt" of
Nigeria, where in the villages the competition is sometimes
keen among the three religious traditions. We will stop to
swim and to view African animals in the Yankari Game
Reserve. Finally, we will visit the far north and the historic
city of Kano, former trading center for the trans-Sahara
trade routes, where camel trains can still sometimesbe discovered. The grand mosque and museum will help us
understand the Hausa and Fulani traditions of Islam in
Africa.
Through it all, we will live simply, encountering life in a
Third World country that is struggling to find appropriate
blendsof Africanand Western culture. We will travel light,
and experience the taste, the music, the art, and the worship of one of Africa's most energetic nations.
Evaluation: Each day participants will engage in structured dialogue and individual journal writing. Two short
tests will be given.
Required Readings: Lawson, Religions of Africa; Parrinder,
Religion in Africa; Kalu, The Nigerian Story.
The cost of $2,195 includes all air and ground transportation, accommodations and excursions, breakfast and one
dinner in London, breakfast and all dinners in Nigeria.
Registration must be made before October 27 at the International Programs Office, 2018 S 8th Street.

eneval Information
Introduction to Augsburg Weekend College
Purpose
I
I
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
bachelor's degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for
career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the
liberal arts.
The Adult as Student
The Augsburg Weekend College program 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 classroclm 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.
Alternate Weekends
To accommodate this format for learning, classes meet on alternate
weekends for three and a half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday
morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon.* Each class selected
by the student involves commitment to one of these four class periods.
Weekend College students may take from one to four different courses by
attending class every other weekend.
Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg Weekend College is participation in a
community of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the
student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and
encouragement to become involved in interaction 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 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.
*Laboratory sections or additional class hours may be scheduled on evenings
during the week.
Information Sessions
Adults who are interested in Augsburg Weekend College are encouraged
to attend one of the information sessions that are scheduled throughout
the year. These information sessions are free of charge and are
approximately 2 hours in length. Please call the Weekend College Office

Major for Secondary Teaching Licensure in Social Studies
Students preparing to teach social studies on the high school level must
complete, in addition to the professional requirements to be met within
the Department of Education, a competency program designed to
provide a broad foundation in the social sciences. Students must
complete a major in one of five fields - Economics, History, Political
Science, Psychology or Sociology (the History major is described below)
plus 7 courses (ECO 112 or 113, Human Geography, HIS 222, POL 158,
PSY 105, SOC 121 and 336). Students considering a career in social
studies education should consult, as soon as possible, the Augsburg
Department of Education and the Social Studies Coordinator.
History Major: 8 courses plus 1seminar. At least four of these courses
must be upper division. A major must have at least one course (either
survey or upper level) from each of the four areas: Ancient and Medieval;
Modern Europe; U.S.; and non-Western.
English
Those who study English believe that an intense concern for words, ideas
and images helps us understand who we are and who we can become.
Writing helps us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us
contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through English
study 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 determining structures. With speech and communications,
English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other
social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have
acted and thought at different times and in different cultures.
Major: 9 courses above 111, including 225; one course in American
literature; one course in Western literary tradition (271 or 272); and three
courses in British literature, one on literature before 1660 (for example, 331
or 438) and one that surveys a number of writers (336, 337, 423). Majors
are encouraged to take ENG 245 early in their college work and to consult
their departmental advisor regularly. A student with a double major or
special program that involves considerable work in the English
department should also work closely with an advisor in the department.
Note: Transfer students must take at least three of their English courses
at Augsburg.
English-Language ArtsTeaching Major: 10 courses, including those listed
under the major, a course in the English language, and an internship in
the teaching of writing. One course must include a component in nonWestern literature. In addition, the ACTC courses Communications Skills
in the English Classroom and Teaching Mass Media are required.
Courses in early American literature, Shakespeare, and film are
recommended. Several of the required courses, including the internship,
are not offered on weekends. Students in this program must work with
advisers in the English Department and the Education Department in
order to meet the professional requirements within the Education
Department as well as requirements in the major.
Students in this program who are transferring from other colleges should
consult the English department chair soon after enrolling.
Minor: 5 courses above 111including one course in British literature and
one writing course above the freshman level (223, 225, 226, or 227).
Management Information Systems (MIS)
This MIS major prepares students to work in the growing field of
information management. The major combines courses and skills from
both the business and computer science majors to help students learn
about the identification, organization, analysis and processing of
information in a business setting.

with no incompletes in courses offered for credit.
Probation and Dismissal
A student will be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term if
his or her achievement is unsatisfactory. Dismissal from the College is not
automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee on Student Standing.
A student who has a poor academic record may be strongly advised to
withdraw before the end of the term. A student who has been on
probation for two terms and withdraws from the College voluntarily must
have special permission to re-enroll. See Augsburg College Catalog for
complete explanation.
Grading Procedures
Evaluation and 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 to 0.0 scale or the PasslNo Credit system, in which P means a grade of
2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Students
are cautioned to use the PIN grade option with care since some graduate
and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of Pgraded courses, or rank each as a "C." Transfer students are cautioned
that P-graded courses do not count in the requirement that 14
traditionally graded courses be earned at Augsburg in order to be
considered for graduation with distinction. See PIN limitations under
Graduation Requirements in the Augsburg College Catalog.
Certain courses are offered on one grading system only. Sociology 265 is
graded only on the PIN grading system and some education courses are
graded only on the PIN system or only on the traditional system. English
111is graded P or N, or 2.0-4.01N. Some other courses are graded only P,
1.0, N. Lifetime Sports are graded P1O.O.
In courses where this is a choice, students will be graded on the
traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish
to use the PIN 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 Registration.
Explanation of Grades
Number grades are used with these definitions:
4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence
3.5
3.0 Achieves above basic course standards
2.5
2.0 Meets basic standards for the course
1.5
1.0 performance below basic course standards
0.5
0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course)
Grade of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point
average. A grade of P represents work at or above the 2.0 level; N
represents work at the 1.5 or below level.
An incomplete grade may be given only in the case of extreme
emergency, To receive it, a student must file a petition with the
Committee on Student Standing stating the reasons for the request, the
plan and date for removing it, and comments from the instructor. If
permission is granted, the incomplete must be removed during the
following semester, or it becomes the grade submitted by the teacher
along with the incomplete.
Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes
last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed
by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first
term of registration. A grade of X 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. The Registrar's Office will
automatically continue the registration in response to an X grade. A final
grade will be issued at the end of the term in whcih the work is
completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor
reserves the discretion of not giving an X where satisfactory progress is
not demonstrated. Withdrawal from college, or dropping these continued
courses will terminate their registration. Under this circumstance, a reregistration as 1X by the student would be necessary if done during
registration periods within one year of initial registration; if done after
one year a new registration would be necessary.
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by
registering for Audit (V). The charge for auditing a course is listed under
Fees and Payment Schedule. Students who audit a course should confer
with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to
determine expectations, attendance and any other requirement. If
expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as
having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will
be listed with a grade of W (Withdrawn).
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at
Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work
transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the PIN grading option
are recorded, but not computed in the GPA.
Classification
Students are classified in August and at the end of fall and winter terms.
Sophomores - 7 courses completed with at least 14 grade points.
Junior - 16 courses completed with at least 32 grade points.
Seniors - 25 courses completed with at least 50 grade points.
Withdrawal from College
Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered,
since this results in a failing grade on the official record. Cancellation of
courses or withdrawal from college must be done in the Registrar's Office.
Withdrawal from college cannot occur during final examination week
unless a petition is approved by the Student Standing Committee.
Withdrawal from college and resulting adjustments in accounts are
effective as of the date the completed Withdrawal From College form is
returned to the Registrar's Office.
Graduation with Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined as follows:
Summa cum laude 3.8 to 4.0 cumulative GPA
Magna cum laude 3.6 up to but not including 3.8 cumulative GPA
Cum laude 3.3 up to but not including 3.6 cumulative GI'A
To qualify for graduation with distinction, transfer students must have
completed two years (14 traditionally graded courses) of work at
Augsburg .
Assessment of Previous Learning (APL)
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 programs
of a liberal arts college. The APL program (Assessment of Previous
Learning) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous
learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited
institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward
the completion of a bachelor's degree.
Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit
recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential
criteria: (1)it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the
Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and (2) it can be objectively
demonstratebeither.b_y_comprehensi~nex~or.~mmittee
evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by
which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit
recognition:
--
CLEP (College Level Examination Program)
Students who achieve acceptable scores in CLEP exams may receive
academic credit in Augsburg College. CLEP exams are available in a
variety of general and specific subject areas. For more information,
contact Weekend College Admissions (330-1792) or the regional CLEP
center at the University of Minnesota (624-3323).
Departmental Assessment
Students who wish to receive credit for a specific academic course and do
not have transcript evidence of completed work may request a
departmental assessment of previous learning. This will most often
include an examination that covers the essential components of the
course involved. For more information, contact the Registrar's Office
(330-1036).
CAP (Credit Assessment Process)
This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty committee
completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the
student. Informal meetings and consultation are provided for students
who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit
assessment. Students may apply for CAP after completing at least four
courses of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative GPA of
at least 2.5. For more information, contact the Registrar's Office (330-1036).
