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

included with the application or
discussed personally with the

Transfer Credit
Augsburg College welcomes
students who wish to transfer
after completing work at other
accredited colleges or universities. College credit is granted
for liberal arts courses satisfactorily completed at
accredited institutions. The
College reserves the right not
to grant credit for courses
where it considers the work
unsatisfactory, to grant provisional credit for work taken at
unaccredited institutions and
to require that certain courses
be taken at Augsburg.
Augsburg College limits
transfer of credit from twoyear colleges once a student
has reached junior status. If all
transfer work has been taken
at a two-year college, a
maximum of 17 Augsburg
courses, or 96 quarter credits,
will be accepted toward the
minimum of 33 Augsburg
course credits required for the
baccalaureate degree.
Transfer Credit Evaluations
An evaluation of transfer
credit is completed by the
Registrar upon admission for
each degree-seeking student
who is transferring previous
college work. This evaluation
indicates which of the
student's courses have been
accepted for transfer credit at
Augsburg College, and how
many course credits the
student has earned in transfer.
The Registrar also determines
which transfer courses may be
used to fulfill general education requirements, and may
request that the student
provide course descriptions,
syllabi or other information to
assist in this determination.
For an evaluation of transfer
courses toward major, minor
or licensure requirements, the
student should consult the
appropriate department chair.
Augsburg graduates and
students who have not
attended Weekend College for
more than one academic year
(three trimesters) must apply
for readmission through the
Registrar's Office. Students
who have attended any other
institution(s) during their
absence from Augsburg must
have an official transcript sent
from each institution to the

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

grace period. Therefore, the
borrower is not responsible for
interest accrued while in
school or during the six-month
grace period.
Interest begins accruing on the
date of disbursement for the
Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
A i d
and the borrower is responsible
for all interest. The borrower
may choose to make payments
while in school or may defer
payments and allow interest to
be capitalized (added to the
balance of the loan).
The interest rate for borrowers
through the Subsidized and
Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is
variable with a cap of 8.25
percent and changes annually
based on the 91-Day Treasury
Bill. The following borrowing
limits apply to the Stafford
Loan program:
Freshmen: $2,625 annually
($6,625 combined Subsidized
& Unsubsidized Stafford)
Sophomores: $3,500 annually
($7,500 combined Subsidized
& Unsubsidized Stafford)
Juniordseniors: $5,500 annually
($10,500 combined Subsidized
& Unsubsidized Stafford)
Aggregate maximum: $46,000

loans arc available c)nIy 10
independent students and
dependent students who do not

the course syllabus at the times
published in The Weekender,
the Weekend College informational publication.
EVALUATIONAND
GRADING
Student achievement in
courses is measured primarily
by final examinations. Shorter
tests, written papers, oral
reports and other types of evaluation also are used.
Most courses are offered with
grading options - traditional
grading on a 4.0 scale or the
Pass/No Credit system, in
which P means a grade of 2.0
or better and N means no
credit and a grade of less than
2.0. Students who choose the
P/N option are cautioned:
In order to receive a grade
of P, a student must achieve
at least a grade of 2.0.
Some graduate and professional schools do not look
favorably on a large number
of P-graded courses, or rank
each as a "C".
P-graded courses do not
count toward the requirement that 14 traditionally
graded course credits be
earned at Augsburg in order
to be considered for graduation with distinction.
Transfer students should be
especially aware of this
requirement.
See P/N limitations under
Graduation Requirements on
page 28.
Note: Certain courses are
offered on one grading system
only (e.g., Lifetime Sports are
graded P/N only).
In courses where there is a
choice, students will be graded
on the traditional system
unless they indicate on their
registration that they wish to
use the P/N grading option.
Any changes in choice of
grading system must be made
according to dates published
each term. A fee is charged for
any changes made after the
published deadline for dropping without record notation.
I n f o r m a t i o n .
NUMERIC
GRADES
Numeric grades are used with
these definitions:
4.0 Achieves highest
standards of excellence
3.0 Achieves above basic
course standards
2.5
2.0 Meets basic standards
for the course
1.0 Performance below basic
course standards
0.5
0.0 Unacceptable performance
(no credit for the course)
Grades of P (Pass) or N (No
credit) are not computed in the
grade point average.
An incomplete grade (I) may
be given only in the case of
extreme emergency. To
receive an incomplete grade, a
student must receive permission of the instructor, and
must file a form with the
Registrar's Office stating the
reasons for the request, the
work required to complete the
course, the plan and date for
completing the work, and
comments from the instructor.
The necessary work must be
completed in enough time to
allow evaluation of the work
by the instructor and filing of
a grade before the final day of
the following trimester. If the
work is not completed by that
date, the grade for the course
becomes a 0.0.
Internships, Indepzndent
Studies and Directed Studies
may sometimes last longer
than one term. When this is
the case, they must be
completed by the grading
deadlines within one year
from the beginning of the first
term of registration. A grade
of X is given by the instructor
to indicate that the study is
extended. It is expected that
students given X extensions
will continue to communicate
with their instructors and
demonstrate that satisfactory
progress is being maintained.
A final grade will be issued at
the end of the term in which
the work is completed and
evaluated (but not longer than
one year). An instructor has
the option of not giving an X
where satisfactory progress is
not demonstrated.
A course in which a grade of
0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N has been
received may be repeated for
credit. Courses in which
higher grades have been
earned may not be repeated
for credit and a grade, but may
be audited. All courses taken
and grades earned each term
remain on the academic
record. Only the credits and
grades earned the second time,
for legitimately repeated
courses, are counted toward
graduation and in the grade
point average.
AUDITINGCOURSES
Students who wish to take
courses without credit or grade
may do so by registering for
Audit (V). The charge for
auditing is listed in the current
year's Weekend College
Catalog Supplement. The
signature of the instructor is
required to register an audit.
Students who audit a course
should confer with the
instructor two weeks prior to
the beginning of the term to
determine expectations, attendance and any other
requirements. If expectations
have been met, the course will
be listed on the transcript as
having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the
course will be listed with a
grade of W (Withdrawn).
Courses for which transfer
credit has been awarded may
not be repeated for credit at
Augsburg. This includes
courses which are substantially similar despite different
titles or emphases.
GRADEPOINTAVERAGE
The grade point average
(GPA) is based on final grades
for all work at Augsburg. It
does not include credit and
grade points for work transferred from other colleges.
Courses taken on the P/N
grading option are recorded,
but not computed in the GPA.
The formula for computing the
GPA is:
GPA = Total grade points
divided by number of course
credits attempted."
* Using traditionally graded
course credits only.
CLASSIFICATION
Student classifications are
updated in August and at the
end of the Fall Trimester.
Sophomores - Seven course
credits completed.
Juniors - 16 course credits
completed.
Seniors -24 course credits
completed.
ACADEMIC
PROGRESS,
~ROBAT~O
AND
N
DISMISSAL
The College requires that
students maintain the
following cumulative grade
point averages (GPA):
Freshman - A student who
has taken fewer than seven
credits with a cumulative GPA
of 1.6 or higher
Sophomore - A student who
has taken fewer than 16
credits with a cumulative GPA
of 1.7 or higher
Junior - A student who has
taken fewer than 24 credits
with a cumulative GPA of 1.9
or higher
Senior - A student who has
taken 24 or more credits with
a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or
higher.
It should be noted that a
minimum GPA of 2.0 is
required for graduation with
certain majors requiring a
higher minimum GPA.
Students whose academic
achievement falls below these
guidelines will either be placed
on scholastic probation at the
end of the term, will be
continued on probation, or will
be dismissed from the College.
In addition, a freshman who
receives two zero grades or a
sophomore who receives three
zero grades will be considered
for probation or dismissal.
However, dismissal from the
College is not automatic. Each
case is reviewed by the
Committee on Student
Standing. Evidence of the
student's commitment to academic progress is the major
consideration in deciding
whether or not to dismiss a
student. Those on probation
who voluntarily withdraw from
'the College, as well as those
who are dismissed, must have
special permission to re-enroll.
Students may be removed
from probation when the
cumulative GPA reaches the
minimum level stated above.
Students placed on probation
as freshmen for having earned
two zero grades may be
removed from probation if
their classification changes to
sophomore, if they have not
earned additional zero grades,
and if their cumulative GPA
reaches 1.7. Students placed
on probation as sophomores
for having earned three zero
grades may be removed from
probation if their classification
changes to junior and their
cumulative GPA reaches 1.9.
The College reserves the right
to dismiss any student who
does not meet the guidelines
stated above. Once a student is
dismissed, he or she may
appeal the decision within 10
days to the Committee on
Student Standing.
DEAN'S
LIST
The Dean's List is compiled
after each trimester, listing
students whose grade point
average for a trimester is 3.5
or better. Students must be
full-time (a minimum two full
course credits for a Weekend
College student), graded on
the traditional grading system,
with no incompletes in courses
offered for credit. If permission is given by the student, an
announcement is sent to the
hometown newspaper of each
student on the Dean's List.
ASSESSMENT
OF
PREVIOUS
LEARNING
(APL) PROGRAM
Augsburg College recognizes
that learning can and does take
place in many life situations.
Some of this learning may be
appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that
compose the academic
program of a liberal arts
college. The Assessment of
Previous Learning (APL)
program at Augsburg
provides a means by which a
student's previous learning,
other than that which is transferred from another accredited
institution, may be presented
for examination for possible
credit toward the completion
of a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life
experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at
a liberal arts college. Such
learning must meet two essential criteria: 1) it is relevant to
course work in a field of study
within the Augsburg liberal
arts curriculum and 2) it can
be objectively demonstrated
either by comprehensive
examination or committee
evaluation.
The APL program at
Augsburg provides several
means by which students may
have their previous learning
assessed for credit recognition.
The following is a brief
description of each of these
means of assessment:
The College Level
Examination Program
(CLEP)
This is a series of standardized
tests which have been developed by the College Board
and are offered to students for
a small fee at regional testing
centers. (The regional testing
center for this area is the
University of Minnesota.)
Students who score at or
above the 65th percentile on a
subject examination may
receive academic credit for
that subject at Augsburg
College. Additional information about CLEP tests is
available from the Office of
the Registrar.
Departmental
Comprehensive Exams
These are available for students
to use in obtaining credit for
previous learning if the
following conditions are met:
There is a departmental
instrument available for the
subject area in question.
There is a faculty member
designated by the department to administer the
exam.
The Registrar approves the
student's request to take the
exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on
a passlno credit basis only,
and there is a charge per
exam of one-half of tuition
for a full course credit.
The Portfolio Assessment
Program
This is a credit assessment
alternative in which a faculty
team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio
submitted by the student. The
faculty team is composed of
two faculty members from
fields of study directly related
to the student's previous
learning. Students who wish to
prepare a portfolio of previous
learning for credit assessment
should consult the Office of
the Registrar. In completing
the evaluation of a student's
previous learning, the faculty
team applies the following
criteria:
There is documentable
evidence of a cognitive
component in the previous
learning experience that
involved prescribed and/or
systematic study of content
material found within liberal
arts course work.
The learning has been objectively verified by individuals
in addition to the presenting
student.
The learning lends itself to
both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
The learning relates well to
the student's educational
goals.
The learning and skills
involved are current and
could be used at the present
time.
Students may apply for the
credit assessment process after
completing at least four course
credits of academic work at
Augsburg College with a
cumulative Augsburg GPA of
at least 2.5. It is strongly
recommended that the process
not be used when four or
fewer courses remain for graduation. There is an application
deposit to initiate the credit
assessment process, and a
charge for each semester
credit applied to the student's
transcript if credit is approved.
Transcript credit will be
granted on the basis of
semester credits, and the total
number of credits granted will
be divided by four to determine the number of course
credits applied to graduation.
These credits will be recorded
with the course number of
APL 2xx. Application of this
credit toward the Liberal Arts
Perspective requirements,
Upper Division requirements,
and academic majors and
minors may be subsequently
addressed by the Associate
Academic Dean in response to
a formal request by the
student.
Maximum Credit Accepted
for Previous Learning
While Augsburg College
recognizes the validity of
learning that takes place
outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be
placed in the context of formal
study in campus-based liberal
arts courses. Therefore,
Augsburg places a maximum
of eight course credits (about
one-fourth of a baccalaureate
degree) on transcript credit
that is obtained through
previous experiential learning.
In compiling the eight courses
of credit for previous experiential learning, the student
may use any combination of
assessment processes available
in the APL program: CLEP
exams, departmental exams
and credit granted through
portfolio assessment.
Lifetime Sports Assessment of Previous
Learning (APL) Program
Students in the Weekend
College may complete one or
both of the two required graduation skills of Lifetime
Sports through the APL
process. The Lifetime Sports
graduation skills are non-academic courses and no credit is
earned by their completion;
however, fulfillment of two
Lifetime Sports is necessary to
graduate. There is a fee for
each Lifetime Sport completed
by APL. Additional information about Lifetime Sports
APL is available from the
Weekend College Office.
ACCOUNTING
- ACC
The major in accounting
prepares students for professional careers in a wide
variety of accounting-related
positions. This major has two
tracks: General Accounting
and Professional Accounting.
The General Accounting
specialization is adequate for a
wide variety of positions. The
Professional Accounting track
includes two specializations:
public accounting and
managerial accounting. The
public accounting specialization is recommended for
positions with CPA firms. The
managerial accounting specialization is recommended for
positions with large or rapidlygrowing companies.
The two professional specializations relate to two
professional designations: the
CPA and the CMA. A CPA
(Certified Public Accountant)
focuses on external reporting;
a CMA (Certified Management
Accountant) focuses on
internal reporting. The public
accounting specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the CPA exam; the
managerial specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the CMA exam.
Designations have an experience requirement in addition
to passing the national exam.
Under the rules of the
Minnesota State Board of
Accountancy, Accounting
majors in the public accounting
specialization are qualified to
sit for the CPA examination
during their last semester.
Accounting Core:
14 courses are required for
this major (an exception to
the 13-course limitation),

ART, STUDIO
- ART
A liberal arts college like
Augsburg is an ideal setting
for the study of art because it
provides a constant possibility
for the interaction of ideas,
disciplines and attitudes. At
Augsburg, art study is further
enhanced by associations with
a significant number of art
galleries and museums in the
Twin Cities area.
Hundreds of specific careers
exist in the general area of art,
such as teaching in the public
schools and colleges,
ceramics, interior design,
photography, film and video
work, painting, gallery and
museum work and design.

specific licensing requirements
for teachers which may differ
slightly in emphasis from the
Augsburg major requirements.
The state requirements may
also be subject to change after
publication of this catalog.
Students therefore should
consult with the Augsburg
Education Department to identify current Minnesota teacher
licensure requirements.
BUSINESS

COMMUNICATION
SPC
Our quality of life, both
personally and professionally,
depends in large part upon the
quality of our communication.
A Communication major at
Augsburg is designed to
enhance understanding of
communication in a variety of
contexts and to improve
communication skills.
Since careers in communication
demand a broad educational
background, the Department
strongly encourages a second
major or two minors in fields
such as business, economics,
English, history, international
relations, political science,
psychology, religion, social
work or sociology.
The Augsburg Communication
major focuses on competency
in both speech and writing, as
well as effective use of media.
Since the study and practice of
communication is grounded in
both the humanities and the
social sciences, majors are
encouraged to include such
related subjects as aesthetics,
ethics, philosophy, logic, literature, statistics and research
methods in their programs.
All Communication majors
must complete a core group of
seven required courses, supplemented by five electives in one
of the following concentrations: public relations and
advertising, marketing communication, human relations, or
supervisory management.
Prospective majors should meet
with a departmental adviser as
early as possible to design an
approved major program,
preferably by the end of the
sophomore year. Majors in
Communication are candidates
for the Bachelor of Arts degree.

ENGLISH - ENC
Those who study English believe
that an intense concern for words,
ideas and images helps people
understand who they are and who
they can become. Writing helps
us clarify and share our thoughts.
Literature helps us contemplate
the pains and joys of human existence. Through the study of
English we see life's complexity,
experience life as some others do,
and understand better the world in
which we live and work.
English relates closely to other
majors. With the other arts,
English is concerned with the
pleasure that comes from artistic
creation and with the contemplation of works of art. With
psychology and sociology, English
is concerned with individual and
group behavior. With philosophy,
English is interested in ideas and
the relation between meaning and
language. With science, English
is interested in discovering order
and determinjng structures. With
speech and communication,
English studies the effective use
of language. With history and the
other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people
have acted and thought at diffe~nt
times and in different d m .
Students with an English
major pursue careers in
elementary, secondary and
college education, journalism,
government, law, the ministry,
library science, medicine,
advertising, public relations,
publishing, writing and other
professions and businesses.

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

PSYCHOLOGY
- PSY
Psychology, with its emphasis
on behavioral observation and
data, provides a perspective on
human activities which is an
integral part of liberal education.
The goal of the Psychology
program is the improved understanding of human behavior by
studying how people cope with
their environment and interact
with each other.
Psychologists use a variety of
methods to study behavior,
including experimentation,
observation and clinical case
analysis. Faculty members
have varied professional
specializations such as
counseling, physiological
psychology, human development, personality, social and
organizational psychology,
and analysis of public policy.
The Psychology program's
emphasis on the use of a
problem solving approach, the
acquisition of information
about human development and
interaction, and the development of human relations skills
can be beneficial in careers in
business, education and other
social services, the church,
government, as well as in
careers such as research, law
and medicine. Some courses
may need to be taken on an
evening schedule.
Psychology Major

RELIGION- REL
Augsburg College understands
itself as a college of the church
and it is persuaded that the
Christian faith provides an
appropriate perspective from
which to undertake its educational task. The biblical faith
and tradition of the Christian
Church have influenced the
whole world and they have
affected and continue to influence language, literature,
history, values and political
structures.
The student encounters this
religious tradition in studying
these and other areas. The
study of religion and theology
is intended to make such
encounters more meaningful
through a better knowledge of
biblical history and that of the
Christian Church, and by a
broader acquaintance with
theological thought.
While it is true that the fundamental orientation of this
College is to the Christian
faith, it is also true that the
field of religion obviously
includes more than is represented by the Christian faith.
Large segments of the earth's
population live by religious
concepts and ideas which are
different from Christianity.
The Department of Religion
seeks to introduce students to
some of these major religious
traditions.
Religion Major
Eight courses including:
REL 111
Introduction to Theology
REL 221
Biblical Studies
REL 356
History of Religions
REL 481

courses.
Note: Seminar, especially for
majors, should be taken in the
junior or senior year. Before
taking the seminar, each major
must have written one formal
research paper and placed it
on file with the Department
Chair.
Religion Minor
Five courses.
Other Requirements
Religion 111 or 221 is prerequisite to all other courses and
is to be taken in either the
freshman or sophomore year
at Augsburg. Exceptions may
be made for junior or senior
transfer students, but the basic
courses are still highly recommended as preparation for
Upper Division courses.
Department approval is necessary before courses taken at
other colleges can be accepted
for Religion Department
and/or general education
course credit.
All majors must consult with
the Department Chair.
Completion of this major may
require enrollment in one or
more courses offered in an
evening weekday schedule.

M a j o r s .
SOCIAL WORK
- SWK
The Social Work major
prepares graduates for entrylevel generalist professional
practice in the field of human
services. 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, and communities,
and to develop and analyze
social policy. Courses within
the program utilize a student
empowerment model for
teaching and learning.
Augsburg's social work major
also provides a strong foundation for graduate studies in a
variety of fields. Augsburg

ATENDANCEPOLICY
It is expected that students
attend every class. If more
than one class meeting will be
missed, the student should not
register for the course. Some
faculty and courses require
100 percent attendance for a
student to earn a passing
grade. Most Weekend College
classes meet seven times
during a trimester plus Finals
Class Weekend. Some courses
meet for the entire period on
Finals Class Weekend.
Classes marked with an
asterisk (*) on the Class
Schedule require or recommend that students attend
additional class meetings, the
dates and times of which are
either listed on the course
syllabus or determined by the
class at the first meeting.
CLASSSCHEDULE
There are three trimesters in
Weekend College - Fall,
Winter and Spring. A calendar
of class weekends for each
trimester and a tentative
schedule of courses offered
can be found in the Weekend
College Catalog Supplement.
Many courses are offered at
least once a year; however,
since some courses are offered
in alternate years, it is important that the student review
major requirements and
course offerings with an
adviser to ensure that all
requirements can be met.
Descriptions and schedules for
courses offered in the day
schedule, January Interim,
Summer School, the Master of
Arts in Leadership, Master of
Arts in Leadership-Education

This course will study archetypal patterns of the

Campbell but will also consider other
interpretations of heroic journeys. Since western
civilization usually assumes that the hero is a man,
usually white and belonging to a warrior class,
analysis of the heroic warrior myth, both as it is
depicted in ancient and medieval epics and myths
and as it appears in contemporary American
popular narratives, will be explored. But the heroic
journey is a human journey, and thus the course
will also emphasize the heroic journeys of women
and men who may be neither white nor warriors.

Introduction

Introduction to Interim
Interim is an integral part of the school year 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 January Interim. Interim is 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.
Interim is an opportunity for intense concentration on a
single course of study. Since one Interim course equals a fulltime load, students should plan to spend the same amount of
time in class and preparing for class as they would for a fourcourse load during fall or spring semesters. Students should
be prepared for at least 40 class hours during the Interim and
should anticipate the equivalent of the normal two hours of
study for each class hour. Since the course length is only 3'12
weeks, attendance at every class is imperative. It is expected
that students will attend every class period; however, each
instructor will establish the precise attendance policy for
hislher course. 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
PassINo Credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only
on the PIN system; this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered for either Upper or Lower Division
credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and
students must select which is most appropriate for their needs.
Students registering for Upper Division credit should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading
standard. Some courses, especially courses with travel requirements, have additional fees associated with them. These fees,
although intended to be accurate, may change and students
should check with the instructor to verify the final costs.
Students are required to complete at least 33 course credits for
graduation. This course total must include two Interims for
students who enter with fewer than 14 courses. A maximum
of four Interim course credits may be counted toward the 33
course credits required for graduation. Transfer students
should refer to their transfer credit evaluation form or consult
the Registrar for the number of Interim courses required.
Day school students (3.0 credits or more for fall) can take a
total of 1.0 course credits. They may take two half-credit
classes. They may also take a lifetime sport (zero credit). The
lifetime sport is at no additional charge if they are full-time
(fall term). If less than full-time they will be charged.
Weekend students can take 1.0 course credits in Interim as a
cross registration but will be charged Day School tuition
($1,497) per course credit. If they do so they may take only
1.0 additional course credits in Weekend College for winter
trimester.
It is the policy ofAugsburg 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 are invited to be part of
one of the 25 international Interim courses offered by the
Upper Midwest Association for Intercultural Education
(UMAIE). These course opportunities are listed near the
end of this catalog.
Internships deadline-Friday, December 12. 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 the Internship
Office (Murphy Place, Rm. 8) no later than the last day of fall
classes (Friday, December 12). The learning agreement forms
are available in the same office. Internships during Interim
must involve full-time work placements for approximately
four weeks. Assistance for planning your internship is available in the Internship and Cooperative Education'Office.
Independent studylresearch or directed study-Students
may elect a program of independent study (Upper Division
499) or directed study (Lower Division 299) for Interim.
Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting
responsibility for 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 a copy of the proposed study
plan approved by the supervising faculty member and
the directedlindependent study registration form.
These forms must be submitted by December 1.
Appropriate study proposal and registration forms can
be obtained in the Registrar's Office.
Interims at other schools-Augsburg students may enroll at
any other 4-1-4 institution that offers a reciprocal Interim
arrangement. Catalogs of these Interim programs can be consulted in the Registrar's Office. Registration for Interims at the
other ACTC colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular
registration period. Most courses taught during the Interim at
other 4- 1-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but
may not necessarily be accepted as meeting Augsburg's genera1 education requirements.
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 $1,497 for the Interim
course. Students interested in registering for an Augsburg
Interim should write to the Registrar's Office for application
forms or use the forms provided by the Interim office at their
own school. There is an application processing fee 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
Residence Life Office.
It should be noted that neither ACTC exchange students nor
visiting students may register for 199,299,399 or 499 courses.

fibers, dyes) or indirectly (e.g., how food crises have influenced
human migrations). We will study the uses, biology, natural
history and classification of several important plants.
Evaluation will be based on three or four 40-minute exams,
several quizzes and an oral presentation.

placed on the individual's interpersonal, group and organizational relationships. Several assessment instruments will be
used to help participants better understand themselves and
others in their attempts to become more effective communicators. Journals, projects and class participation will be used
to evaluate performance. This course is designed for students
majoring or minoring in business or in communication.

Chemistry for Changing Times
CHM 100-1
lnstructoc Arlin Gyberg
This course is developed from the perspective of a person living in a modern, high-technology society such as the United
States. It assumes that before one can evaluate a moral or societal issue of a scientific nature one at least must be able to
understand the science involved. Anything less is an impression rather than an informed decision. As we develop scientific
concepts we will at the same time relate them to an abundance
of current issues. We live in a world of pesticides, fertilizers,
plastics, birth control, food abundance and food shortage,
food additives and processing and synthesis, organically and
non-organically grown food, chemical dependency, licit and
illicit drugs, the energy crisis and the debates about sources of
energy, the greenhouse effect and nuclear waste storage, pollution, genetic engineering and much more. Many of these
problems are chemical in nature. Thus, in learning about
chemistry, via lecture and in-class discussion, we can begin to
understand ourselves, our society, our world and even some
of the universe. The grade for the course is based on a percentage of the total score of total points on the daily quizzes.

Personal Economics
EGO 495-1
Instructor: Satya Gupta
This course will examine, understand and analyze three
aspects of quality life-worldly assets, physical health and the
self. Quality life is defined by many people in terms of the
amount of money one has. The more money one has, the
more command on commodities one can enjoy. We work hard
most of our lives to fulfill our dreams of having a large home,
fancy car, boat, vacation home, education for our children and
enjoyable retirement. We plan a great deal for all these dreams.
It is surprising that we plan 30 or 40 years from now. It is also
true that at some point in life one asks oneself "Who am I
really?" and "What am I here for?" In this third component of
the course we shall critically reflect on our values, ethics and
self-understanding. Knowledge of the self leads us to a higher
plane of thinking and behaving. Thus, we shall try to construct
a well-balanced portfolio of quality life. Students will find the
course very interesting, thought provoking and challenging.
Grades will be based on three quizzes, one paper and discussions in class.

Instructor: Bob Cowgill
This course is predicated on the assumption that immersion
in all the arts benefits a writer's investigation of any specific
art; or, in other words, that before you become a specialist, it
helps to become a passionate generalist. The class will balance
two related goals: first, to experience and talk about as many
contemporary Twin Cities cultural happenings as is practicable (we will search out and encounter the most exciting, controversial and significant programs in theater, dance, gallery
exhibition, music and film); second, to examine critical methods of observation and reception of art and consider ways in
which writers can enhance the public's understanding and
interaction with artistic culture. Students will keep a critic's
journal, write four short papers and take a final exam.
Students registering under English 482 will have to develop a
10 page critical project in conjunction with one art event that
occurs during the course's span. To register, students must
have successfully completed English 111, must have the willingness, the money and the time to attend events and to
transport themselves to various cultural locations throughout

and cultural values. Through comparison and contrast, students will be expected to formulate reasonable interpretations
of selected poets and poems and to express their discoveries
in class discussion and short papers. A final examination will
be given and two interpretive papers about three to five pages
in length will be assigned. For Upper Division credit, the student will also read and give a written class report on a book

How accurate is our understanding of the past? How do we
attempt to secure that understanding? Why is history biased?
Can there be history without bias? Should history have entertainment as a goal? These questions, and others, form the basis
for an inquiry into the writing of history and the portrayal of
historical characters, events and themes depicted in the cinema. Filmmakers have presented history in ways ranging from
the mundane to the sublime. In this course we will view selected films and through readings, lectures and discussions examine some of the successes and failures of "History by
Hollywood." This course is intended for first-year students.

Science and Religion
HON 401-1
lnstructor: Mark Engebretson
For some in our society science is the driving engine of a better, more secure life and the basis for a philosophy of life. For
others, science and its associated technologies, along with its
invitation to become a global world view, constitute a grave
threat. This course will address these matters in two ways.
First, it will begin with a historical overview of the relations
between science and the Christian faith, emphasizing three
periods: the origins of the Christian faith, the development of
"modern" science and mechanistic philosophy, and the reevaluation of science and nature in the twentieth century.
Second, it will study systematically the world views of science
and religion to see how they compare.
Class time will be divided among lectures, discussions, small
group tutorials and an extended simulation exercise in developing a space colony. Course evaluation will be based on two short
exams, participation in small group tutorials based on assigned
readings, a group project presentation and a major synthesis
paper based on the group project and course materials.

Is our ability to use language acquired by learning, or is it present from birth? What do all languages have in common
despite their obvious differences? How can learning a foreign
language be so frustrating for adults, while young children
learning their native language seem to be having fun?
Questions such as these have fascinated people throughout
history, and recent developments in linguistics have begun to
provide some credible answers. The purpose of this course is
to survey the most remarkable findings in this area and
engage in some principled speculation as to what they mean.
This course is open to all students with a healthy curiosity

Topics/Discrete Mathematics
MAT 481-1
Instructor: Su Doree
Explore the discrete side of mathematics as we consider questions such as ....How many phone numbers start with the 612
area code? What's the shortest route between two cities using
scheduled flights? The term "discrete" refers to separate, distinct
objects such as the whole numbers. Kenneth Rosen, a mathematician at Bell Labs, in the introduction to his text Discrete
Mathematics and Its Applications, explains that ... discrete
mathematics is used whenever objects are counted, when relationships between finite sets are studied and when processes
involving a finite number of steps are analyzed. A key reason
for the growth in the importance of discrete mathematics is
that information is stored and manipulated by computing
machines in a discrete fashion. The course is a rigorous introduction to discrete mathematics including topics such as sets,
logic,,functions, recursions, combinatorics, elementary probability theory and graph theory (as in networks). Algorithmic
thinking and mathematical reasoning is emphasized throughout the course. This course will be a useful and interesting
complement to calculus and continuous mathematics. The
course is intended for students pursuing a mathematics major
or a computer science major with a mathematics minor.
Students are expected to be at least a little familiar with theoretical mathematics and proof. No specific computer experience is expected. Evaluation is based on three examinations
and a small portfolio of homework problems. Please contact

social justice in America. Students will develop and defend
their own standards of social justice and use those standards
to assess conditions in urban America. To pass this course,
students must engage in a substantial exchange of ideas with
fellow classmates in class discussions.
The course has two goals: to develop student thinking about
social justice, including greater awareness of conflicts between
justice and other values and to increase student ability to
understand urban problems as issues of justice and other central values.
Evaluation will be based on participation in discussion and
other class activities, on two short (4-6 page) papers and on a
final exam. Because of the compressed time frame of the
Interim schedule and the importance of material covered on
the first day of class, no one will be admitted to the class who
does not attend the first day of class, unless first receiving the
permission of the instructor.

stereotypes in regard to gender, race and class? This course
will explore the images, underlying values and assumptions,
and the impact of U.S. media practices and patterns in rela-
tion to sex and gender, race and ethnicity, and social and economic class status. How are women, racial and ethnic minorities, and working class people portrayed in the mass media in TV dramas and sitcoms, music videos, children's programming, the news, advertising, movies and talk radio?
At the heart of the course will be case studies designed and
conducted by the students (individually or in groups) which

The Master of Social Work
program is highlighted by:
• Tradition of excellence in
curriculum, faculty and students
• Intentional recruitment of
students from diverse backgrounds
• Metropolitan location
• Access to challenging and
rewarding field placements
Professional preparation at the
Master of Social Work level at
Augsburg is founded on the
following assumptions:
• Analysis and presentation of
complex social issues and solutions are based on solid
research. MSW students will
develop competencies to
conduct, analyze and present
practice-based research in oral
and written form.
• The world is interdependent in
all areas; students will become
knowledgeable of social welfare
policies and programs that
address changing needs of the
world community.
• In the interests of constructive
social change that promotes
social justice, students are
educated to address institutional
oppression created by issues of
age, gender, race/ethnicity,
class, disability, sexual orientation or religion. Social justice is
a focus throughout the program.
MSW Program
Concentrations
The Master of Social Work
program has two program
concentrations: Family Practice,
or Program Development, Policy
and Administration. Students
choose one of the two concentrations for their program focus.
Family Practice
Family, in its diverse forms, is
central to society. "Family,"
in this context, is interpreted
broadly as the nurturing system
surrounding people. It is inclusive of many areas of need.
As a growing number of familyrelated challenges face society,
there is an ever-increasing need
for professionals who base
their practice on in-depth study
of the broad spectrum of issues
that confront the family . In the
Family Practice concentration,
students will concentrate on
promoting empowerment of the
family-nurturing systems from a
developmental and holistic
perspective.
Program Development, Policy
and Administration
Social change is necessary to
foster policies and services that
respond to human need. The
Program Development, Policy
and Administration concentration
was developed in response to the
growing demand for leadership
and administration. Effective
services require participatory
development, competent practitioners, strong leadership and
effective administration. Students
in this concentration will learn
the knowledge base and develop
the skills necessary to promote
and achieve needed change, and
to develop, lead, guide and
administer programs that will
serve diverse people in a variety
of settings.

No more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will count toward the
degree. If a course grade is below 2.0, the course must be repeated;
however, no more than two courses can be repeated. Only the credits and
grades earned the second time are counted in the grade point average.

be removed from probation. If
the cumulative grade point
average again falls below 3.0,
the student may be dismissed
from the program.

rationally and intuitively the people who might be
their followers, and the society in which they are embedded.
They had better comprehend the values of our common
culture, past and present, know how our political and
economic systems work, and understand how and why
science has changed the world. ... Leaders need specialists
as advisers and staff members. But leaders themselves are
generalists . ... At higher levels of leadership they cannot
achieve their fall potential without considerable breadth of
knowledge. Only this way can they shape the contexts for
decisions where expert knowledge is used.

~TRODUCTION
Developing Leaders for
Organizations and the
Community
The Master of Arts in
Leadership (MAL) program
responds to the leadership
development needs of both
profit and not-for-profit organizations. While different in
structure and purpose, most
organizations seek leaders with
the following qualities: a vision
that is ethically and morally
responsible, extending beyond
immediate concerns; an understanding of how change occurs
and affects the immediate environment; a sensitivity to the
complex problems organizations
face and an ability to achieve
solutions consistent with an
organization's mission; the
ability to motivate and inspire
individuals and groups to work
toward a common goal; and the
ability to effectively represent
the organization both internally
and externally.
The MAL program provides a
means by which individuals
may discover and refine these
and other abilities fundamental
to effective leadership.
Accommodating the FullTime Work Schedule
Designed to meet the needs and
preferences of working adults,
the MAL program is based on
the assumption that the students
who enroll are career-oriented,
self-disciplined and well-
motivated individuals, seeking a
balance of classroom experience, group interaction and
individual study. Most courses
are organized as seminars with
the opportunity for discussion
and dialogue. Classes meet on
alternate Saturdays for threeand-one-half hours and alternate
Thursday evenings for one-andone-half hours.
Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of the
MAL program is participation
in a community of learners
gathered together on the
Augsburg campus. This community is enriched by the students
with a variety of work and life
experiences. To facilitate
community interaction, students
are encouraged to make use of
the Augsburg library, computer
labs and Christensen Center.
Individual Professional
Development
An important component of
the MAL program is the
professional assessment.
The assessment can help
students to identify leadership
skills and preferred work and
learning styles. Nationally
recognized test instruments are
used; based on the results,
students are encouraged to
create personalized goals
and plans to strengthen areas
that may require further
development. MAL Practica
are designed to meet student
needs in areas such as interpersonal communication,
approaches to career change,
coping with workplace
problems, time management
and other issues related to
leadership and professional
development.
~ADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL
The MAL program promotes
leadership as a process that
1) inspires cooperation among
people who must compete for
limited resources, 2) promotes
productivity within and beyond
the organization, and 3) works
toward progress for the
individual and the organization.
AUGSBURG
Leadership Development Model,
that serve as specific outcomes
for the MAL program.
Augsburg's model of leadership
development is designed to
assess, promote, enhance and
refine these capabilities within
the individual.
To accomplish this, individuals
aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key
attributes: a sense of vision,
the ability to persuade and the
ability to direct action.
Underlying these attributes is a
broad range of abilities and
awareness, outlined in the
Leadership

(This model was developed by Augsburg Faculty Graduate Advisory Committee, 1985-87.)
~RICULUM DESIGN
There are two ways to complete
the MAL degree. In the
Thesis/Leadership Application
Project (Thesis/LAP) Option,
students complete a thesis or a
major leadership application
project and 10.5 credits. In the
Non-Thesis Option, students
must complete 11 credits, two
papers, but no thesis.
Augsburg uses a course system
rather than a credit system in its
curriculum. An Augsburg
course is equivalent to four
semester credits or six quarter
credits. Each course includes
two or more liberal arts disciplines, encourages pursuit of the
designated outcomes and uses a
variety of learning techniques
appropriate to adult learners.
Instructional techniques include
case studies, debate, written and
oral presentations, and group
activity. These techniques
develop targeted leadership
abilities and understanding.
Students are encouraged to see
abilities and understandings as
cross-disciplinary and to view
content areas as integrated. The
program reflects the view that
the world in which we operate is
complex and that dealing with it
successfully requires welldeveloped integrative abilities.
Thesis/LAP Option
Students who select the
Thesis/LAP Option are required
to develop and carry out an indepth study of some aspect of
leadership or of a leadershiprelated topic. This researchbased study gives the student
the opportunity to "tie together"
what has been learned from the
study of leadership and courserelated activities.
The principal distinction between
the Thesis and the Leadership
Application Project lies in their
underlying orientation. A Thesis
has a more theoretical orientation, while the Leadership
Application Project is based on
practical application. Both
require similar rigor and preparation. For either alternative, the
student must register for ML 592,
593 and 594. Differences
between these two options will
be explored in ML 514 Research
Methods and in ML 593
Leadership Research Seminar I.
Students who do not complete
their Thesis or Leadership
Application Project while
enrolled in ML 594 Leadership
Research Seminar II are
required to pay a continuation fee.
Non-Thesis Option
An alternative to the thesis is the
successful completion of two
major papers, as described
below. The first of these papers
will be written in conjunction
with ML 580. A student must
get a grade of 3.5 or higher on
this major paper to complete the
Non-Thesis requirement. If the
grade for the paper is below 3.5,
the student will revise the paper
WuRRICULUM DESIGN
Elective Courses for
Both Options: (at least
7.0 course credits)
and submit it to the MAL faculty
panel for review and approval.
The second paper will be written
while enrolled in ML 597 NonThesis Independent Project. A
student must get a grade of 3.5
or higher on this paper; it will
then be submitted to the MAL
faculty panel for review and
approval. The judgment
of the MAL faculty panel is
the final one. The independent
research projects approved
each year will be presented in
a special annual colloquium.
All courses are valued at
1.0 credit, unless otherwise
designated.

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

from the President
I hope you are looking at this catalog
because you've enrolled at Augsburg College.
If so, welcome to the College! All of us hope you
find, in the course of your study, a rising enthusiasm for the work, a deepening appreciation of
the profession and role to which you feel called,
and a confident sureness that you have rightly
chosen Augsburg as the community in which to
spend the next several years of your life.
If you're dipping into this volume to
figure out who and what Augsburg College is
and what education it offers, welcome to these
pages! May they convey the fundamental
character of our mission: to provide an education
especially serviceable in the contemporary world
because it has been designed in the midst of and
in full contact with the critical social, economic,
religious, and political phenomena of the modern
city. This education, however practical and professional, will be serviceable over the long haul only
to the degree that it respects and pursues certain
of what Martin Luther called "the fine liberal arts," and it will be exciting to the degree it is
offered for the sake of improving both its students and the world itself.
The study you are undertaking at Augsburg-r
thinking of undertaking-will occur on a
small campus in the core of a great city; it will be led by faculty preoccupied with your welfare
and the emergence and refinement of your vocational plans.
As you join the enterprise, or consider doing so, please know that those of us who await
you here find the College an exciting setting, full of diversity and yet possessed of a community
dedicated to higher learning and good living, in which you can set off in new directions and in
which new destinations are reachable.
Bon voyage!
Sincerely yours,
William V. h a k e

A
t Augsburg College, we believe that
the college experience should be a time of
exploration, of discovery, of new experiences, and new possibilities. We also
believe that a liberal arts education is your
best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of
today and tomorrow. Upon graduation, you
will be able to demonstrate not only the
mastery of a major field of study, but also
the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively
Emphasis on values, perspectives,
experience, and skills
The heart of an Augsburg education is
the Augsburg curriculum-the College's
general education program, which structures your liberal arts studies through challenging and thought-provoking courses
requiring students to consider important
issues and examine values questions. These
Liberal Arts Perspectives include Western
Heritage, Intercultural Awareness, Human
Identity, the Social World, Christian Faith,
The City, Aesthetics, and the Natural World.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve you
for a lifetime-writing, speaking, critical
thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to
name a few.
Thanks to Augsburg's prime location in
the heart of a thriving metropolitan area,
many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense,
the resources of the Twin Cities are an
extended campus for Augsburg students.
Selection from over 50 majors
Augsburg offers more than 50 majorsor you can create your own major either
on campus or through the Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See
page 53 for a complete list of majors and
minors.) This five-college consortium
allows students to take courses on other
campuses without charge while a full-time
student at Augsburg. The ACTC includes
Augsburg College, College of St. Catherine,
Hamline University, Macalester College,
and the University of St. Thomas.
Students who graduate from Augsburg
are well prepared to make a difference in
the world. They stand as testaments to the
College motto, "Education for Service,"
and to the mission of the College:
To nurture future leaders in service to
the world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in
the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and
values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by
an intentionally diverse campus community.
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America,
named after the confessibn of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Gennany, in
1530. Augsburg opened in September
1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved
to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first
graduation was in 1879.
10 About Augsburg
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
The Focus Changed
August Weenaas was Augsburg's first
president (1869-1876).
This attitude began to change after
World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup,Jr.
became president. He worked to develop
college departments with an appeal to a
broader range of students than just those
intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of
Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She
spent the next 42 years at the College as a
teacher and administrator.
Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway-Sven Oftedal and Georg
Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate
Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students for theological study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part
plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students;
and third, educate the farmer, worker, and
businessman. The statement stressed that a
good education is also practical.
Augsburg's next two presidents also
emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts
of education. This commitment to church
and community has been Augsburg's theme
for over 125 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist"
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second
president (1876-1907), required students
to get pre-ministerial experience in city
congregations. Student involvement in the
community gave early expression to the
concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education
for Service."
In the 1890s, Apgsburg leaders formed
the Friends of Augsburg, later called the
Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and
personal Christianity. This change made
Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important
primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The College's mission assumed a double character-ministerial preparation
together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected
Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and
scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and
civic circles made Augsburg a more visible
part of church and city life.
After World War 11, Augsburg leaders
made vigorous efforts to expand and improve
academic offerings. Now the College was a
larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential
to a liberal arts college, offering a modem
college program based on general education requirements and elective majors.
With cumculum change came a long effort
to become accredited.
The College reached 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 as serving the good of society first
and the interests of the Lutheran Free
Church second. The seminary moved to
Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther
Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the
Lutheran Free Church merged with the
American Lutheran Church.
About Augsburg
A College in the City
President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on
involvement with the city. He wanted to
reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for
all people. During his years of leadership
the College became a vital and integral part
of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg
added the Music Hall, Mortensen Tower,
Urness Tower, the Christensen Center, Ice
Arena, and Murphy Place.
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders
who believed:
Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College
from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg's
commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in
enrollment and programs, and a cumculum that draws on the resources of the city
as extensions of campus and classroom.
Some of the accomplishments during his
tenure include instituting two graduate
degree programs, hosting national and
international figures at College-sponsored
forums and events, increasing accessibility,
and the addition of the Foss Center for
Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the
James G. Lindell Family Library.
The city-with all its excitement,
challenges, and diversity-is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Dr. William V Frame became president
in August 1997. He has initiated a strategic
planning process intended to iden* the
distinguishing marks of the Augsburg education-in both pedagogy and substance-and
a restructuring effort intended to improve
operating efficiencies and open access for the
College to new sources of capital.
An Augsburg education should be
preparation for service in community and
church;
Education should have a solid liberal
arts core with a practical dimension in
order to send out productive, creative, and
successful citizens;
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution
set in the heart of a great metropolitan center.
There are now almost 14,000 Augsburg
alumni. In a world that has changed much
since those first days of the College,
Augsburg still sends out graduates who
make a difference where they live and work.
In addition to a traditional undergraduate liberal arts and sciences "day"
program, Augsburg offers a Weekend
College program for nontraditional
students and master's degree programs
in social work and leadership.
CAMPUS LOCATION
Augsburg's campus is located in the
heart of the Twin Cities, surrounding

20 Undergraduate Admissions
Augsburg College limits transfer
coursework from two-year colleges once a
student has reached junior status. Students
may transfer a maximum of 64 semester
credits (96 quarter credits) from two-year
colleges. Once a student reaches junior
status, no additional credits will transfer
from two-year institutions toward the
minimum of 33 credits required for a
baccalaureate degree. These courses can,
however, be used to meet liberal arts and
major requirements.
A cumulative grade point average
(GPA) of 2.2 (on a 4.0 scale) or better is
required on previous college work for
admission to the College.
Acceptance of courses submitted for
transfer is done by the registrar's office
based upon the official student
transcript(s). Acceptance of courses presented for a major or minor also requires
approval of the department. The major or
minor department may require certain
courses or a minimum number of courses
be taken at Augsburg.
Students transferring from the
Minnesota State University and College
System who have completed the Minnesota
Transfer Cumculum, have earned the
Associate of Arts degree from MNSCU, and
have a 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) cumulative GPA
or higher will be given transfer status as
outlined below.
The following applies only to the
MNSCU A.A. graduate:
1.Admission will be with junior standing.
A maximum of 17 Augsburg equivalent
courses (64 semester credits or 96 quarter
credits from a community college) will be
accepted once junior status is reached. No
additional courses may be transferred from
a community college.
2. All Augsburg general education requirements will be waived except:
The City Perspective
Two courses in Christian Faith (any
two areas)
The language requirement as stated
One course that meets the Quantitative
Reasoning Graduation Skill requirement
One graduation skill writing course in
the major
College algebra or Math Placement
Group 3
3. Courses with D grades will not be
accepted as prerequisites or for application
to majors. Some Augsburg majors require
additional prerequisite coursework beyond
the A.A. degree. Also, the physician assistant major requires a cumulative GPA
higher than 2.5. Students are advised to
consult major departments for major
requirements upon transfer.
Admission to a major, as well as admission to the College, is sometimes necessary.

the most significant investment a person
or family makes in a lifetime. Proper planning and wise choices are important, not
only in choosing a college, but also in the
methods used to pay for it. Augsburg
College, through its Office of Student
Financial Services, will help students and
their families protect access to a quality
Augsburg education in a time of increasing
financial challenge.
Financial assistance awarded through
Augsburg may be a combination of
scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time
work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private
agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 1998-99 academic year,
nearly eight out of ten students at
Augsburg received financial assistance.
The primary responsibility for financing
a college education rests upon the student
and family. Financial aid supplements
student and family resources.

xperiences in the classroom are an
important part of college life, but learning
and development also occur in formal and
informal activities of the College and the
metropolitan area. Whether students are
residents or commuters, the climate for
learning and living at Augsburg will add
dimension to their education.
As a college of the church, we are
concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern
for spiritual growth is evident in the
opportunities we encourage and provide
for students to explore their own faith.
Because our campus is comprised of
individuals from many different religious
and cultural backgrounds, our worship life
is characterized by a similar diversity and
richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth
groups, outreach teams and community
outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and
justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are
examples of the wide variety of activities
on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible
expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to
give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and
musicians. Each Wednesday night students
gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays,
Trinity Lutheran worship services are held
on campus, with many other churches
within walking distance.
We seek to develop a free and open
environment where people are encouraged
to use and discover the gifts and sense of
call and vocation that God has given them.
As a college of the church, we encourage
students to form values guided by our
Christian heritage, which will be the basis
for the kind and quality of life that reaches
beyond their years at Augsburg.
The college pastor and campus ministry
staff have offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles
Center for Worship, Drama, and
Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or
information.
Through Student Government, students
secure a closer relationship with and better
understanding of the administration and
faculty and provide input into the decisionmaking process at Augsburg. Student
Government also sponsors and directs student activities, protects student rights, and
provides the means for discussions and
action on all issues pertaining to student
life at Augsburg.
Student Government is organized into
the executive branch, the legislative
branch, and the judicial branch. Elections
are held in the spring for the next year.
Freshmen elect their representatives in the
fall of their first year. Many kinds of
involvement are possible-program planning, writing, editing, or service opportunities. If you want to get involved, contact
the president or vice president of the student body in their offices in the lower level
of the Christensen Center.
The Student Activities Program creates
opportunities for students to enhance their
leadership skills through active involvement in developing events, activities, and
organizations that serve the student community. Hundreds of major programming
efforts and targeted activities for specific
student interests are generated through
these efforts and make Augsburg a dynamic
and enjoyable interactive environment.
-
Student Life 41
Throughout the year, a variety of social
and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These
activities include dances, films, theme
events, name entertainment, and visiting
personalities in various fields.
The Christensen Center is the focus of
leisure-time activity on campus. Cooper's
Attic (the gameroom and student lounge)
is a popular hangout located in the lower
level. Many of the clubs that unite classroom and non-classroom related interests
meet here. Student offices in this area
include the College newspaper, the Echo;
the yearbook, The Augsburgian; Student
Government; and the Augsburg Student
Activities Council. KCMR, a student-operated nonprofit radio station serving the
needs of Augsburg and the surrounding
Cedar-Riverside community, is located in
Umess Tower.
Students have many opportunities to
participate in music and drama. In addition
to appearing on campus and in the city, the
Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and
Orchestra perform on national and international tours. Many other ensembles are
available to cover the entire range of musical styles and previous musical experience.
Students stage several plays on campus
each year under the direction of the
Theatre Arts Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of on-campus
workshops with visiting arts professionals.
INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Augsburg is affiliated with the
Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference (MIAC) and is a member of
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) Division 111. Men
annually compete in football, soccer, cross
country, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling,
baseball, track and field, and golf. Women
annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, softball,
track and field, and golf.
When Augsburg announced in
February 1995 that it was adding women's
ice hockey as a varsity sport, it became the
first college or university in Minnesota to
do so.
H INTRAMURALS
Every student is urged to participate in
some activity for recreation and relaxation.
An intramural program provides competition in a variety of team sports as well as
individual performance activities.
Broomball has been an especially popular
coed sport. Check schedules for times
when there is open use of the gymnasium
and ice arena.
SPORTS AND RECREATION
At Augsburg, sports are for the average
student as well as the intercollegiate
athlete. The campus offers on a spaceavailable basis a double-rink ice arena,
gymnasium, tennis courts, a fitness center
with workout machines and weight room,
and an air supported dome over the athletic
field for winter fitness use by walkers and
runners. (See Fitness Center on page 45.)
42 Student Life
-
Augsburg's mission focuses on student
learning in the broadest sense. As an indication of the emphasis placed on student
learning, the student and academic affairs
offices work to bring together the student
learning found in the classroom with the
activities of experiential education and
work, residence life, and the learning
resources of the library and information
technology. The following sections elaborate on facets of student life. The formal
academic programs and requirements are
described on page 52.
GAGE FAMILY ACADEMIC
ENRICHMENT CENTER
The Gage Family Academic Enrichment
Center, located in Rooms 17 and 18 of
Foss Center, is designed to offer students
study-skill assistance so that they may
achieve academic success. The center has
four offices: the Learning Skills Office, the
Tutor Center, the Learning Laboratory and
the Center for Learning and Adaptive
Student Services (CLASS).
The Learning Skills Office, located in
Foss Center, Room 17, assists students in
improving their skills in such areas as time
management, notetaking, textbook reading
and comprehension, test-taking, and concentration and memory improvement.
Diagnostic testing is also available to assess
skills in reading, vocabulary, spelling,
study strategies, and learning styles. The
staff will assist students in developing
effective and efficient studv skills.
The Karen M. Housh Tutor Center,
located in Foss Center, Room 18, arranges
for students to meet with tutors for content tutoring in most freshman- and
sophomore-level courses. The center also
notifies students of tutoring labs available
and coordinates supplementary instruction
sessions, in which tutors attend the classes
and lead discussions after class on major
concepts of the course.
The John Evans Learning Laboratory,
located in Foss Center, Room 18, offers
students the opportunity to improve skills
in reading, writing, and mathematics
through the use of computer software, as
well as to review and prepare software for
tests such as PPST, MCAT, GAT, and GRE.
Tutors are available to demonstrate the
uses of the software, and students are able
to monitor their progress.
PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES (CLASS)
The Center for Learning and Adaptive
Student Services (CLASS) Program serves
nearly 200 students and is recognized as a
leader in educating college students with
disabilities. The CLASS Program exemplifies the College's commitment to provide a
high-quality liberal arts education for students with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and preparation. Augsburg is committed to recruiting, retaining, and graduating students with diagnosed learning,
physical, and psychiatric disabilities who
demonstrate the ability and willingness to
participate in college-level learning.
The CUSS staff includes four licensed
learning disabilities specialists and a physical disabilities specialist who meet individually with students to assist them with
advising and registration, academic support services, learning strategies, self-advocacy skills, organization and time management, and selecting appropriate accommodations. The accommodations specialist
coordinates testing accommodations, notetaking services, taped textbooks, adaptive
technology, such as dictation and voice
recognition software, a scanner, CCTY
Braille printer, adaptive keyboards, and
computer assistance.
Student Life
The Groves Computer Lab is designed
for students with disabilities and contains
computers and adaptive equipment to
assist them in their academic progress.
The campus is accessible to students
with physical disabilities and includes a
skyway tunnel elevator system that connects 10 major buildings. Modified and

A
ugsburg College constructs its curriculum upon the
that students
must be educated 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 curriculum introduces students to
the breadth and complexity of knowledge
and culture.
Required courses in Christian Faith 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 opportunities to
develop skills for participation in exercise
and sporting activities.
Students choose from over 50 major
areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a
career or further study. Thus, through a
balance of curricular activities supported
by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg College education
strives to educate its students in a real
world for the real world.
DECREES OFFERED
Augsburg offers the bachelor of arts,
the bachelor of music, and the bachelor of
science degrees. Augsburg also offers the
master of arts in leadership and the master
of social work degrees.
ACADEMIC CALENDAR
The Augsburg day program follows the
4-1-4 calendar, with fall and spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks, separated
by a four-week January Interim. Full-time
students normally take four course credits
each semester and one course during
Interim. Day school freshmen are required
to take an Interim course their first year.
The calendar is coordinated with those
of the four other colleges of the Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities, so students
can take a course on another campus during the regular term. (See Registration on
page 64 and Calendars on pages 4 and 5.)
January Interim is particularly intended to
be a time for both students and faculty to
employ different styles of teaching and
learning, and to investigate questions and
topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. The Interim catalog,
published in the fall of each year, is distributed to all students and is available by contacting the Interim Office. In addition to
classes offered on campus, Augsburg offers
a variety of travel opportunities within the
United States and abroad.
Augsburg offers two summer school
sessions. A maximum of three course credits
can be earned in the two annual summer
sessions, one of four weeks and one of six
weeks. The Summer Session Catalog, published in the winter of each year, is distributed to all students, and is available by contacting the Office of Summer School.
Augsburg Weekend College and graduate programs follow a trimester calendar
(see Augsburg Weekend College and
Graduate Programs on page 62.)
FACULTY
The heart of any educational institution
is its faculty. Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a
doctorate or other terminal degree, and all
consider teaching to be the focus of their
activity. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activi-
-

ties, but see these activities as supporting
their teaching. They are actively involved
in an exciting faculty development program that introduces them to current
thought in many fields, but especially in
teaching techniques and theories.
Augsburg's size and small classes
encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students.
Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.
Every freshman is assigned an Augsburg
Seminar adviser and, later, chooses a major
adviser. In this close interaction, faculty act
as both mentors and models for students.

HONORS PROGRAM
The Honors Program is designed to
challenge and encourage the most academically distinguished students at Augsburg.
The program combines academic and cultural components with social activities.
Members of the program normally enter as
freshmen, but students may enter the program as late as the beginning of the junior
year. Students graduate from the Honors
Program upon successful completion of the
program, which is noted on the transcript.
That notation provides an advantage for
both employment and graduate school
application.
The Honors Program at Augsburg was
awarded a National Science Foundation
Grant in 1995 to establish an Honors
Computing and Communications Lab in
Foss 20, and to put the program on a computational footing. Students entering the
program as freshmen are required to take
an honors version of CSC 160 Introduction
to Computer Science and Communications,
which establishes crisp computing and
communications skills at the outset of
their collegiate careers. Other courses in
the program make use of these computing
skills in lab-oriented sequences exploring
literature, writing, history, religion, philosophy, and social and natural science.
During the junior and senior years, students take four mini-seminars (one full
course credit upon completion), one each
semester, and participate in a six-week
Monday Forum Program each term.
Seniors take a senior seminar during
Interim, which satisfies a perspective
requirement, and are obliged to complete
an approved honors project. Some seniors
satisfy this requirement by serving on the
Augsburg Honors Review, a yearly journal
that publishes outstanding student papers.
Requirements center on full participation in the program and the maintenance
of at least a 3.3 GPA the freshman year, a
3.4 the sophomore year, and a 3.5 the last
two years. Please direct inquiries to Dr.
Joan Griffin, associate director of the
Honors Program, 330-1045, or Dr. Lany
Crockett, director of the Honors Program,
330-1060.
INTER-INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS
Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities
area on several programs.

colleges library consortium, the Augsburg
community has direct access to over
1,300,000 volumes.
Associated Colleges of t h e Twin
Cities (ACTC)-Full-time weekday students at Augsburg and the St. Paul colleges
and universities 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 or approved independent studies. Students may elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain
new perspectives, to get better acquainted
with the other schools, or to undertake a
specific course or major not offered on the
home campus. 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 cooperates with
other colleges in planning study opportunities for the January Interim.
Higher Education Consortium for
Urban Affairs (HECUA)-Augsburg, in
cooperation with 17 other colleges and
universities, offers off-campus study semesters in Scandinavia, South and Central
America, and the Twin Cities. (See HECUA
programs on page 59.)
Air Force ROTC-Augsburg students
may participate in the Air Force ROTC program at the University of St. Thomas under
the ACTC consortium agreement. Students
are eligible to compete for two- and threeyear AFROTC scholarships. For more information, contact the registrar's office.
Army ROTC-Augsburg students may
participate in the Army ROTC program at
the University of Minnesota under an
agreement between Augsburg, the
University of Minnesota, and the
program. For more information, contact
the registrar's office.
Naval ROTC-Augsburg students may
participate in the Naval ROTC program at
the University of Minnesota under an
agreement between Augsburg, the
University of Minnesota, and the program.
For more information, contact the registrar's office.
Note: A maximum of one full Augsburg
course credit of military science studies
may apply toward the total credits required
for graduation. Additional military science
credits beyond the one credit allowed will
be classified as non-degree credits.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR
STUDY ABROAD
An increasing number of Augsburg students are taking advantage of the opportunity to gain academic credit for an overseas
experience. Through study abroad students
may meet with grassroots women's organizations in Mexico, work in a small business or artisan program in Kenya, examine
Scandinavian perspectives on world peace
in Norway or thrill to the sounds of The
Magic Flute at the Viennese state opera
house. Study abroad provides opportunities
to develop critical thinking skills, strengthen
language competencies, further career
paths, experience different cultures, and
gain knowledge about the increasingly
interdependent world.
Academic Requirements and Credit
Study abroad is an integral part of several majors at Augsburg, but will add an
international dimension to any academic
program. Students normally receive the
same number of course credits abroad as if
studying on campus. Courses abroad can
58 Academic Information
fulfill major, general education, and graduation requirements when approved by academic advisers and department chairs
before departure.
Students receive advice on selecting
programs that best fit their academic,
career, and personal objectives. Assistance
is provided with application, course registration, financing, and travel arrangements.
Orientation and re-entry programs assist
students in integrating the experience
abroad into their coursework and
personal lives.
Eligibility and Application
All students in good academic standing
(a minimum GPA of 2.5) at Augsburg may
apply for permission to study off campus.
Although foreign language skills are an
asset, they are not required. Since it takes
some time to prepare for studying abroad,
students should start planning during their
freshman and sophomore years.
The deadline for application is Sept. 30
for off-campus study during spring term
and March 1 for off-campus study during
fall term.
Costs and Financial Aid
The cost of many programs is equivalent to full tuition, room, and board for a
semester on campus. Financial aid is granted
on the same basis as on-campus study.
Cost estimates are drawn up to assist the
financial aid office in awarding aid to students studying overseas.
The Center for Global Education
The Center for Global Education facilitates cross-cultural learning experiences
that prepare people to think more critically
about global issues and to work toward a
more just and sustainable world. The tenter's programs explore a diversity of view-
points and are grounded in the perspectives of the poor and of others struggling
for justice and human dignity.
The center's study programs are conducted in Central America, Mexico, and
Namibia. Students experience three distinct types of living situations: living with
other participants in a community house,
spending several days in a rural setting,
and several weeks living with host families.
They also travel together on two-week
seminars-from Mexico to Central
America, and from Namibia to South
Africa. The cost of these programs is equivalent to full tuition, room, and board for
one semester on campus, plus airfare.

THE CENTER FOR SERVICE, WORK,
AND LEARNING
The Center for Service, Work, and
Learning is a comprehensive center incorporating an educational focus emphasizing
the importance and value for all students
to engage in service and work-based learning experiences and design of a four-year
career plan integrating their education
with a vocation and life plan.
The center helps students take advantage of Augsburg's metropolitan location
through the highly successful experiential
programs that link the College's academic
programs to Twin Cities employers and
organizations. Through internships, cooperative education, and community servicelearning, Augsburg students integrate and
expand their liberal arts education by
embracing the worlds of work and service
and integrating this learning with their
career and vocation plan.
The center helps link employers, community organizations, and the academic
program in ways that enrich and expand a
student's educational experience and personal development. Experiential education
opportunities are closely related to a student's major, coursework, or career interest. Placements may be in small and midsize companies, large corporations, nonprofit organizations, schools, government
agencies, and community-based organizations.
The underlying assumption is that a
liberal arts education is an effective preparation for careers and citizenship. The integration of "knowing and doing" adds
breadth and depth to the liberal arts curriculum and assists students in making
more informed academic, personal, and
career decisions.

Academic Internships
An academic internship is a carefully
planned, work-based learning experience
where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning objectives. A
learning agreement plan that is negotiated
with a faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlining the internship objectives,
strategies, and evaluation methods, is
required.
An academic internship is approved,
supervised, and evaluated by a faculty
member in the department in which the
student wishes to earn the internship credit.
Upper division internships are numbered
399 and lower division internships are
numbered 199 (see page 85).
Internships are available in all majors
and can be taken during a semester (or
Weekend College trimester), Interim, or
summer session. Interdisciplinary internships are also available. For extension of an
internship beyond one term see Evaluation
and Grading on page 75.
A maximum of four courses of internship may count toward the total courses
required for the degree.
Cooperative Education
Cooperative education is a college-supported, paid, work-learning experience that
is closely related to a student's major or
career objective. The goal is to combine
theory with practice in work or servicebased settings.
Students also earn money to help defray
educational costs while gaining important
on-the-job experience. Job placements typically are part-time during the academic
year andlor full-time in the summer. Co-op
jobs are flexible and can begin and end
anytime. Co-op ed is not accredited in and
of itself, but a non-credit cooperative education transcript notation is highly recommended during the academic terms the
student is employed. Co-op ed students are
encouraged to register for at least one
internship for credit in conjunction with
their cooperative education participation.
Co-op ed is available to Augsburg students
who have completed their freshman year
and are in good academic standing.
Community Service-Learning
Augsburg's Community ServiceLearning Program provides students with
opportunities to respond to human needs
in the city through service experiences,
which include reflection on and analysis of
community issues in order to promote personal and educational growth. Augsburg
students learn from the community in
which they live by participating in service
activities combined with learning components such as orientation sessions, seminars, and class discussions. This dynamic
and interactive educational approach
employs reciprocal learning between the
students and the community. Community
service examples include tutoring at
schools and community centers close to
campus, volunteering at homeless shelters,
building housing for low-income people,
or working with environmental groups.
Service-learning experiences include
course-embedded community service,
internships, cooperative education, and a
wide range of extracurricular volunteer
options.
The service-learning program works
closely with the student-directed Augsburg
LINK, residence hall directors, and campus
ministry.

CAREER SERVICES
Career Services is committed to assisting all students with their career planning.
This process is an important part of a student's development while attending college. To aid students in this process, Career
Services offers students the opportunity to
actively participate in career seminars,
career assessments, one-on-one counseling,
self-paced computer career planning modules, and use of the Alumni Resource
Network for informational interviews.
Services are available to all students,
but some programs are sponsored especially
for seniors. Seniors are encouraged to
attend one of three annual job fairs with
recruiters representing business, education,
or nonprofit and government sectors.
There is also an annual graduate and professional school fair for seniors to explore
educational options after graduation.
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 to earn a
college degree, complete a second major,
or pursue a personal interest or skill.
Weekend College classes meet on alternate weekends. There are three trimester
terms during the academic year, from early
September through June. Students may
take from one to four classes each term.
Although Augsburg Weekend College
involves the same courses as the day pro:
gram, the cumculum is limited to selected
liberal arts courses and the following
majors: accounting, business administra-
tion (specializations in finance, international business, management, and marketing), communication (concentrations in
general communication, organizational
communication and mass communication), computer science, economics, elementary and secondary education, English,
history, management information systems,
nursing, psychology, religion, social work,
and studio art. A separate Weekend
College catalog is available from the Office
of Weekend College, (612) 330-1782.
GRADUATE PROGRAMS
Augsburg College offers two graduate
degree programs: the Master of Arts in
Leadership (MAL) and the Master of
Social Work (MSW). Catalogs for each
degree program should be consulted for
complete information.
The Master of Arts in Leadership is
based on the subject matter and approaches
of the traditional liberal arts. This crossdisciplinary program directs its academic
content and pedagogical approaches at situations, issues, and problems relevant to
organizational leaders. Augsburg's program
recognizes that today's leaders need a broad
spectrum of abilities to provide them with
a more comprehensive understanding of
their world. Designed for working adults,
the program operates on alternate
Saturdays and alternate Thursday evenings.
The Master of Social Work (MSW) prepares students for entering advanced social
work practice. The program builds on the
liberal arts base of the College and supports the College's mission to nurture
future leaders in service to the world.
Academic lnformatsn
There are two concentrations: family
practice or program development, policy,
and administration. Students choose one of
the two concentrations for their program
focus. The curriculum emphasizes work
with diverse and oppressed groups, social
justice, leadership for social change and a
holistic, strengths-based, problem-solving
framework. Graduate social work classes
meet in four-hour blocks on Friday
evenings, Saturday mornings, and
Saturday afternoons.
The program development, policy, and
administration concentration has been
developed in response to the growing
demand for creative leadership and administration of policies and services that
respond to human need.
OTHER PROGRAMS
Continuing Education Program
The mission of the Augsburg College
continuing education program is to provide working adults with lifelong learning
opportunities that will enable them to continue to grow personally, professionally,

in 1985 with endowment from the Mildred
Joel bequest for Canadian studies. The program supports special events and conferences as well as student internships and
faculty activity in Canadian studies. The
goals of the program include community
involvement, increased awareness of the
importance of Canadian/U.S. relations, and
provision of opportunities to learn directly
from Canadians through visits and
exchanges. For more information contact
Milda K. Hedblom, Canadian program
coordinator.

REGISTRATION
A student must be registered for a
course to receive credit for it.
Full-time students normally register for
four course credits per semester and one
course during Interim. Students registered
for three or more course credits in a semester are classified as full-time students. To

form must be submitted to the registrar's
office prior to the expiration of the previous leave of absence period, or an application for re-admission will be required.
Students are responsible for keeping the
registrar's office informed of their mailing
addresses. All deadlines for financial aid
and housing must be observed by the
returning student. A leave of absence does
not defer payment of loans or extend
incomplete course deadlines.
Former Students
Former Augsburg students, re-admitted
to complete a degree after being away from
the College for at least one calendar year,
have a choice between using the catalog in
effect when they first enrolled, if possible,
or using the catalog in effect at the point of
re-admission. Students must meet all of the
requirements in effect under the catalog
they choose. Choosing to complete under
the current catalog will require re-evaluation of prior coursework, including transfer credit, to determine applicability to current academic requirements.

a full description.
4. Grade Point Average-2.0 for
most majors. A minimum grade point average of 2.0 is required for all courses taken
and specifically for all courses that apply
toward a major or special program. Some
majors, licensure, and certification require
higher grades in each course or a higher
grade point average. (For example, see
licensure in education, music education,
music performance, music therapy, nursing, and social work.) See the departmental
section for details.
5. Residence-The last year of fulltime study or equivalent (no less than 7 of
the last 9 credits) must be completed at
Augsburg or within an approved ACTC
exchange program. No less than a total of
9 credits are to be taken at Augsburg
College. Contact the registrar if an official
interpretation is needed. Some departments
have a minimum number of courses that
are required to be taken in residence within the major. Consult the catalog description of the major or the chairperson of the
department

SKILLS COMPONENT
Entry Level Skills Requirements
The entry level skills tests are inventory
assessments in:
Writing
Mathematics
Critical thinking
Placement in writing courses, math
courses, and critical thinking courses is
determined by the assessments.
Freshmen (all students entering
Augsburg with fewer than seven college credit courses) and sophomore
transfer students with fewer than 14
courses:
Take entry-level skills assessments
and satisfy requirements.
If skill levels are deficient, students
will be enrolled in the appropriate course
or advised on preparation for retaking the
math placement assessment. Students are
required to take the assessments before registering for the second term and to have
demonstrated removal of deficiencies by
the end of their first year at Augsburg.
Effective Writing or its equivalent is
required. Students who do not satisfy the
entry level skill in writing will be required
to take ENG 101 Developmental Writing
before ENG 111 Effective Writing.
Freshmen should complete the writing
requirement before the beginning of their
sophomore year.
Students who have college credit for a
critical thinking or logic course are exempt
from the critical thinking inventory.
Freshman and sophomore transfer
students will be required to satisfy all of
the Graduation Skill course requirements.
70 Academic Information
Advanced Transfer Students
Transfer students who enter with 14
credits or more are exempt from critical
thinking assessments.
Those who have not passed the
equivalent of ENG 111 Effective Writing
course must take the entry level test in
writing. Augsburg's entry level test in writing will determine placement in an appropriate writing course.
Advanced transfer students are
required to satisfy all the Graduation Skill
course requirements, except only one of
the writing courses (the one within the
major) is required.
Math Requirement
In order to graduate, students must
take the Math Placement Exam and
achieve a score placing them in Group 3
(college algebra skills).
Students with an acceptable transfer
mathematics course will have their placement level determined by the registrar's
office. Students who have passed the
College Board Advanced Placement Exam
should consult the mathematics department. Math placement is indicated on the
Evaluation of Transfer Credit form for students who have transfer courses in collegelevel math. All students are required to
have their Math Placement Group (MPG)
determined. The exam is given during college registration sessions and at other
announced times during the year. Students
in MPG 2 needing to advance to MPG 3
may take MAT 105. Students in MPG 3
needing to advance to MPG 4 may take
MAT 114. No other MAT courses change a
student's Math Placement Group. Students
in MPG 1needing to advance to MPG 2
should consult the registrar's office or
Academic Advising Center for advice on
transferable equivalent courses available off
campus. Students are also permitted to
retake the Math Placement Exam until
September of the following academic year.
Review help is available from the Academic
Enrichment Center.
Please note that all students must attain
at least Math Placement Group 3 . In addition, many courses have Math Placement
Group requirements. In particular, MIS
379,479; CSC 170,210; SOC 362; PHY
103; all MAT courses; and all courses with
a Graduation Skill component in
Quantitative Reasoning have at least Math
Placement Group 3 as a prerequisite. In
addition, MIS 175 and introductory
physics courses have at least Math
Placement Group 2 as a prerequisite.
Students should refer to the course
descriptions to check the Math Placement
Group prerequisites for courses that they
are interested in taking.
Graduation Level Skills
General education includes enhancement of certain skills during the years in
college. Skills related to writing, critical
thinking, speaking, and quantitative reasoning are deliberate components of certain courses. Completion of the requisite
courses with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P
is required for graduation. Students are
required to have two courses with Writing
Skill components (at least one within the
major) and one course each with Critical
Thinking, Speaking, and Quantitative
Reasoning Skill components. These courses
can simultaneously satisfy skill requirements and graduation requirements for the
major or general education perspectives.
Academic Information 71
All Writing Skill courses have the prerequisite of ENG 111,all Quantitative
Reasoning Skill courses have the prerequisite of Math Placement Group 3, and all
Critical Thinking Skill courses have the
prerequisite of passing the entry level
Critical Thinking Assessment.
Lifetime Sports
Two different lifetime sports are
required. Students in the day program who
are not health and physical education
majors or in intercollegiate athletics may
test out of one lifetime sport. Weekend
College students may test out of two lifetime sports. Lifetime sports are non-credit
courses, are not counted as meeting
Interim course requirements, and are not
included in the 33-course requirement.
3. No student will be permitted to
count more than three courses from the
same department in meeting perspective
requirements.
4. No student may count more than
one course from the same department in
meeting the requirements of any single
perspective emphasis area except:
Up to three courses in religion may
be used to meet the perspective, The
Character and Mission of Augsburg
College: The Christian Faith.
Up to two courses in a year-long
sequence of approved natural science
courses may be used to meet the perspective, The Natural World.
Up to two courses of the same mode m language may be used to meet part of
the perspective, Intercultural Awareness.
LIBERAL ARTS PERSPECTIVES
The general education Liberal Arts
Perspectives have the primary goal of providing the basis for beginning to understand what it means to be a human. The
goals of the perspectives are achieved
through a variety of courses that have been
approved as meeting the criteria established for each perspective.
Students will choose from a list of
courses meeting the Liberal Arts
Perspectives, available from the registrar's
office. These choices are controlled by the
following policies:
1. A student will choose a minimum of
one course from each required perspective
category.
2. No single course can fulfill the
requirements in two or more categories.
RATIONALE FOR PERSPECTIVES
Augsburg, in its mission statement,
declares the College exists "to nurture
future leaders in service to the world by
providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in the liberal arts
and shaped by the faith and values of the
Christian Church, by the context of a vital
metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community." One way
that the College seeks consciously to realize this mission is through its general education curriculum.
The Augsburg faculty has designed a
cohesive academic program incorporating
general education, major courses, supporting courses, and elective courses leading to
the bachelor's degree. The core of the
Augsburg curriculum is found in the liberal
arts as expressed in the general education
component of the College cuniculum that
is divided under two headings: Liberal Arts
Perspectives and Skills.
72 Academic Information
The term "perspective" assumes that
not only are we engaged in the search for
truth, but that this requires the searcher to
consider questions from a variety of viewpoints, each of which has something valuable to contribute to the whole. These perspectives are not strictly identified with
traditional disciplines, but are understood
in ways that encourage multi-disciplinary
reflections on the questions at issue. They
combine concerns about content with
those of process and approach, directed
ultimately to making the student a more
effective learner and participant in society.
The following requirements reflect the
way in which Augsburg has chosen to view
the liberal arts. Two of the four features of
the mission statement are embodied in the
general education perspectives: The
Character and Mission of Augsburg
College: The Christian Faith and The City.
These perspectives emphasize that the
College's affiliation with the Lutheran
Church, its insistence on the value of
knowing the approach that derives from
the Christian roots of the College, and its
location in the city deserve special consideration in Augsburg's educational program.
The third feature-that Augsburg is a
liberal arts institution-is also emphasized
in the other general education perspective
requirements. Certain dimensions of
human life-of what it is to be humanform the core of the required liberal arts
experience. These overall perspectives on
what it is to be human can themselves be
studied from the vantage points of the various academic disciplines.
Students need to learn about themselves, about what it is to be a person.
Hence, the perspective on Human Identity
But the person exists in both a social community and a natural world. Hence, the
importance of the perspectives on the
Social World and the Natural World.
Because the way in which we understand
ourselves derives largely from our Western
heritage, students need to learn about and
reflect on significant aspects of this heritage. Thus, the perspective on the Western
Heritage. At the same time, to focus on the
West alone would be ethnocentric. We live
in a global society. Hence the perspective
on Intercultural Awareness. Attention to
moral values is found not only in the perspective on the character and mission of
the College, the Christian Faith, but
throughout the other perspectives as well.
The perspective on Aesthetics enables students to focus on aesthetic works created
by themselves or others, which convey
fundamental insights, express beauty, and
enhance life.
Finally, the mission statement emphasizes that we are concerned with academic
excellence. This has a number of features,
including the way we teach all the courses
in general education. Beyond this, academic
excellence presupposes that students have
the requisite skills to do college-level
work. The general education requirements
are couched in a context that pays attention to the skills of both incoming and
graduating students. Entry level skill
requirements in a number of critical areas,
including writing, mathematics, and critical thinking, will be assessed and help will
be given to students who need it.
Graduation level skills are also emphasized
so that students not only maintain but
develop their skills during their Augsburg
experience.
Academic Information
The general education requirements
provide a coherent way to address the mission of Augsburg College. They are not the
only way, and do not they guarantee that
students who graduate from Augsburg possess the desired knowledge and character
traits. What they do is provide a coherent
description of the context in which we liberally educate students, a clear statement of
expected outcomes, and an opportunity for
students to see and understand the complexity of what it is to be human and
Christian in an urban setting.
THE EIGHT PERSPECTIVE
REQUIREMENTS
Perspective: The Character and Mission
of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith
This perspective focuses on Augsburg
as a college of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America. As a college of the
Church, Augsburg accepts as a basis for its
educational program the doctrines of the
Christian faith as revealed in scripture and
the creeds affirmed by the Lutheran
Church. It consciously affirms that all students should reflect upon the Christian
Scriptures, theological concepts, ethical
values, their own faith and values, and religious concepts outside of the Christian
faith as part of becoming educated.
Christian Faith (CF 1, 2, and 3)
Area 1 is biblical studies, Area 2 covers
Christian theology, and Area 3 includes the
study of values or religions outside the
Christian faith. Three course credits are
required to meet this perspective except for
the following:
Transfer students entering with 14-23
course credits will be required to take two
courses in the Christian Faith Perspective
while registered at Augsburg.
Transfer students entering with 24 or
more course credits will be required to take
one course in the Christian Faith
Perspective while registered at Augsburg.
Perspective: The Character and Mission
of Augsburg College: The City
This perspective focuses on the
College's location in the heart of a metropolitan area. From this perspective, students should gain an understanding of and
critically reflect upon the city with its
diverse populations, cultural, governmental
and economic institutions, and opportunities and challenges. In addition, students
should experience the community and
should explore opportunities for service in
the community.
This requirement must be covered
either by specific courses, by internship
and education experiences, or by designated
or college-approved non-credit experiences
(such as volunteer service or college programs). Experiences that satisfy the requirement must be accompanied by a GST 209
seminar related to the perspective.
The City (C)
One course credit or experience is
required to meet this perspective.
Perspective: Western Heritage
This perspective is intended to help
students critically examine themes (found,
for example, in literature, philosophy, and
the arts) and events that have historically
shaped Western civilization. Attention
should be paid to the contributions of and
to critiques of Western thought by women
and ethnic minorities.
3
74 Academic Information
Western Heritage (WH 1 and 2)
Two course credits from different
departments are required to meet this perspective. One course is required to meet
this perspective for transfer students entering with 14 or more course credits.
Perspective: Human Identity
This perspective is intended to help
students view themselves as people with
unique abilities, values, beliefs, experiences, and behaviors.
Human ldentity (HI)
One course credit is required to meet
this perspective.
Perspective: Aesthetics
Aesthetic creations convey fundamental
insights and values, express beauty, and
enhance life. This perspective focuses on
aesthetic qualities in artistic expressions by
oneself and others.
Aesthetics (A)
One course credit is required to meet
this perspective.
Perspective: The Social World
This perspective is intended to help
students learn to identify, examine, and critique social, economic, or political systems:
to understand how and why such systems
develop, to see the connections among
these systems, and to use this knowledge
as a participant in society.
Social World (SW 1 and 2)
One course must focus on current theories and methods of a social science. Two
course credits from different departments
are required to meet this perspective. One
course is required to meet this perspective
for transfer students entering with 14 or
more course credits.
Perspective: Intercultural Awareness
This perspective is intended to complement the Western Heritage Perspective by
expanding students' awareness of other
cultures. One course is required in which
students critically reflect upon ways their
own cultural biases operate when confronting other cultures. They should
become better able to communicate with
persons of other cultural backgrounds, partially by being introduced to a specific culture other than European or mainstream
North American cultures.
In addition, students are to gain entry
into another culture by learning to speak
and read a language other than their
native language. For this part of the
perspective, students are required to have
demonstrated proficiency in a modem
language, or American Sign Language
for hearing students.
The modem language requirement will
be determined by assessing previous experience and subsequent placement.
Intercultural Awareness (IA 1)
The study of a specific, non-Western
culture and how that culture has shaped
the world. One course credit is required to
meet this part of the Intercultural
Awareness Perspective.
Academic Information
Intercultural Awareness (IA 2 and 3)
Perspective: The Natural World
Study of a modem language other than
the native tongue. For a language previously studied, consult the table below for the
requirement. For a language not previously
studied, successful completion of 111, 112
is required. Students with previous language study should contact the modem
languages department if there are questions. There is a seven-year time limit on
courses presented for transfer and automatic
waiver. Students whose native language is
not English should contact the Academic
Advising Center.
This perspective is intended to help
students understand themselves in relation
to the physical world. Their active role as
observers, explorers, and moral agents will
be emphasized. Sufficient technical training
in scientific knowledge, concepts, and
methods will be provided to equip students
for critical and intelligent participation in
public debates on technical issues.
H.S.
Semesters
Augsburg
Required
Placement
Courses
Natural World (NW 1 and 2)
Two course credits from different
departments are required to meet this
perspective unless an approved one-year
sequence is taken. One course is required
to meet this perspective for transfer
students entering with 14 or more
course credits.
EXPLANATION OF GRADES
Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests,
written papers, oral reports, and other
types of evaluation.

311
exempt
Students who are required to complete
two semesters of modem language must
complete the requirement with sequential
courses in the same language. Hearing students who have demonstrated competence
in American Sign Language by passing an
approved course sequence will have fulfilled IA 2 and IA 3 Perspectives.
Most courses are offered with grading
options-traditional grading on a 4.0 to
0.0 scale or the Pass/No credit system, in
which P means a grade of 2.0 or better
and N means no credit and a grade of less
than 2.0.
PassINo Credit
Students who choose the PIN option
are cautioned:
In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0.
Some graduate and professional
schools do not look favorably on a large
number of P-graded courses, or rank each
as a C.
5
76 Academic Information
P-graded courses do not count
toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at
Augsburg in order to be considered for
graduation with distinction. Transfer
students should be especially aware of
this requirement.
See P/N limitations under Graduation
Requirements, page 68.
Certain courses have restrictions and
are offered on one grading system only
(e.g., lifetime sports are graded only PIN).
In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading
option. Any changes in choice of grading
system must be made according to dates
published each term. A fee is charged for
any changes after the first five days of
classes. All changes in grading option that
are made after initial registration require the
signature of an adviser or the instructor.
Numeric Grades
Numeric 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
Internships, independent studies, and
directed studies may sometimes last longer
than one term. When this is the case, they
must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of
the first term of registration. A grade of X
(extension) is given by the instructor to
indicate that the study is extended. It is
expected that students given X extensions
will continue to communicate with their
instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A
final grade will be issued at the end of the
term in which the work is completed and
evaluated (but not longer than one year).
An instructor reserves the discretion of not
giving an X where satisfactory progress is
not demonstrated. If the course is not
complete, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned.
Performance below basic course
standards
Unacceptable performance (no
credit for the course)
A course in which a grade of 0, 0.5,
1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be
repeated for credit. Courses in which higher
0.5
0.0
An incomplete grade (I) may be given
only in the case of extreme emergency. To
receive an incomplete grade, a student
must receive permission from the course
instructor, stating the reasons for the
request, the work required to complete the
course, the plan and date for completing
the work with comments from the instructor; and must file the form with the registrar's office. If permission is granted, the
necessary work must be completed in
enough time to allow evaluation of the
work by the instructor and filing of a grade
before the final day of the following semester. If the work is not completed by that
date, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0.
A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a notation on the record.
1.5
1.0
Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are
not computed in the grade point average.
Academic Information 77
grades have been earned may not be
repeated for credit and a grade, but may be
audited. All courses taken each term and
grades earned, including W and N, will be
recorded on the academic record. Only the
credits and grades earned the second time,
for legitimately repeated courses, are
counted toward graduation and in the
grade point average.
Classification
Auditing Courses
Courses earned from the International
Baccalaureate program will be considered
by the College for advanced placement and
appropriate credit. Departmental guidelines
are available at the registrar's office.
Students who wish to take courses
without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time students
may audit a course without charge. The
charge for part-time students is listed
under College Costs in the Financing Your
Education section on page 24. The signature of the instructor is required to register
an audit. Students who audit a course
should confer with the instructor within
two weeks of the beginning of the term to
determine expectations, attendance, and
any other requirements. If expectations
have been met, the course will be listed on
the transcript as having been audited. If
expectations have not been met, the course
will be listed with a grade of W.
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is based
on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It
does not include credit and grade points for
work transferred from other colleges.
Courses taken on the P/N grading option
are recorded, but not computed in the GPA.
The formula for computing the GPA is:
GPA = Total grade points divided by
number of courses taken.*
"Courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned
Students are classified in August and at
the end of the fall and Interim terms.
Sophomores-7
courses completed.
Juniors-16 courses completed.
Seniors-24 courses completed.
International Baccalaureate Program (IB)
ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS
LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM
Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life
situations. Some of this learning may be
appropriate for credit recognition within
the disciplines that comprise the academic
program of a liberal arts college. The 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 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.
78 Academic Information
The APL program at Augsburg provides
several means by which students may have
their previous learning assessed for credit
recognition. The following is a brief
description of each of these means of
assessment:
Advanced Placement Program Test
(AP)-The Advanced Placement program
may allow students who have scores of 3,
4, or 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement
Test to receive college credit for selected
courses. A score of 4 or 5 is required on
the AP Language and Composition examination for credit for ENG 111 Effective
Writing. Additional credit or placement is
at the discretion of the department.
Inquiries should be addressed to the registrar's office.
The College Level Examination
Program (CLEP)-This is a series of standardized tests that have been developed by
the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing
centers. (The regional testing center for
this area is the University of Minnesota.)
Students who score at or above the 65th
percentile on a subject examination may
receive academic credit for that subject at
Augsburg College. Additional information
about CLEP tests is available from the
registrar's office and the Academic
Advising Center.
Departmental Comprehensive
Exams-These are available for students
to use in obtaining credit for previous
learning if the following conditions
are met:
There is a departmental instrument
available for the subject area in question.
There is a faculty member designated
by the department to administer the exam.
The registrar approves the student's
request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a P/N basis
only, and there is a charge per exam of
$400 for a full course credit.
The Portfolio Assessment
Program-This is a credit assessment
alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning
portfolio submitted by the student. The
faculty team is composed of two faculty
members from fields of study directly related
to the student's previous learning. Students
who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous
learning for credit assessment should consult the registrar's office. In completing the
evaluation of a student's previous learning,
the faculty team applies the following criteria:
There is documentable evidence of a
cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed
andlor systematic study of content material
found within liberal arts coursework.
The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student.
The learning lends itself to. both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
The learning relates well to the student's educational goals.
The learning and skills involved are
current and could be used at the present
time.
Students may apply for the credit
assessment process after completing at
least four courses/credits of academic work
at Augsburg College with a cumulative
Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly
recommended that the process not be used
-
Academic Information 79
when four or fewer courses remain for
graduation. There is a non-refundable
application deposit of $200 to initiate the
credit assessment process for each course
presented in a portfolio. An additional
$200 is charged upon approval of each
course. Credit is available on a PIN credit
basis only.
Transcript credit will be granted on the
basis of semester credits, and the total
number of credits granted will be divided
by four to determine the number of course
credits applied to graduation. These credits
will be recorded with the course number of
APL 2xx. Application of this credit toward
the Liberal Arts Perspective requirements,
upper division requirements, and academic
majors and minors may be subsequently
addressed by the depaments involved in
response to a formal request by the student.
Maximum Credit Accepted for
Previous Learning-While Augsburg
College recognizes the validity of leaming
that takes place outside the traditional
classroom, this learning must be placed in
the context of formal study in campusbased liberal arts courses. Therefore,
Augsburg places a maximum of eight
courses (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is
obtained through previous experiential
learning. In compiling the eight courses of
credit for previous experiential learning, the
student may use any combination of the
four assessment processes available in the
APL Program: AP exams, CLEP exams,
departmental comprehensive exams, and
credit granted through portfolio assessment.
English as a Second Language (ESL)
Students who declare a language other
than English to be their primary language
or who are citizens of another country
must take the ESL placement test in conjunction with the English writing placement test at orientation. Students' placement in ESL, ENG 101 Developmental
Writing, or ENG 111 Effective Writing will
be determined by their scores on the
Michigan test (80-100 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 class will
determine whether additional ESL coursework is required. Usually a score of 80 to
100 and a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will
fulfill the student's ESL requirement.
All students whose native language is
not English must stay enrolled in ENG
217/218 until such time that they pass the
ESL placement test at 80 percent or higher.
The ESL course can be counted only twice
in the total number of courses required for
graduation.
Students who fulfill the ESL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the modem language requirement for graduation.
- Academic Information
ACADEMIC PROGRESS,
PROBATION, A N D DISMISSAL
The College requires that students
maintain the following cumulative grade
point averages (GPA):
Freshman-A student who has taken
fewer than 7 courses with a cumulative
GPA of 1.6 or higher
Sophomore--A student who has
taken fewer than 16 courses with a cumulative GPA o m r higher
junior-A?t'u%nt
who has taken fewer
than 24 courses with a cumulative GPA of
$or
higher 2
0
Senior-A student who has taken 24
or more courses with a cumulative GPA of
2.0 or higher.
It should be noted that a minimum GPA
of 2.0 is required for graduation, with certain
majors requiring a higher minimum GPA.
Students whose academic achievement
falls below these guidelines will either be
placed on scholastic probation at the end of
the term or will be continued on probation
or will be dismissed from the College. In
addition, a freshman who receives two zero
grades or a sophomore, junior, or senior
who receives three zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However,
dismissal from the College is not automatic.
Each case is reviewed by the 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 record may be smongly
advised to withdraw before the end of a
term. Those on probation who voluntarily
withdraw from the College, as well as those
who are dismissed, must have special permission to re-enroll.
Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches the
minimum levels stated above. Students
placed on probation as freshmen for having
earned two zero grades may be removed
from probation if their classification
changes to sophomore, if they have not
earned additional zero grades, and if their
cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Students
placed on probation as sophomores for
having earned three zero grades may be
removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative
GPA reaches 1.9.
The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the
guidelines stated above. Once a student is
dismissed, he or she may appeal the decision within 10 days to the Committee on
Student Standing.
Dean's List
The Dean's List, compiled after each
semester, lists students whose grade point
average for a semester is 3.5 or better.
Students must be full-time students (a
minimum equivalent of three full course
credits for a weekday schedule student or
two equivalent full course credits for a
Weekend College student), graded on the
traditional grading system, with no incomplete~in courses offered for credit. Courses
taken outside of a program's calendar (e.g.,
crossover courses taken in a Weekend
College trimester term by a day student or
in a semester term by a weekend student)
are not calculated when determining the
Dean's List. If permission is given by the
student, an announcement is sent to the
hometown newspaper of each student on
the Dean's List.

Academic Information 81
Graduation with Distinction
Augsburg recognizes those students
who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement as graduates of distinction. This designation will begin with the
year 2000 commencement and will apply
to all students who complete degree
requirements after Jan. 1, 2000. Students
achieving Graduation with Distinction will
have an overall GPA of 3.5 and will have
completed an outstanding project as determined by the student's major department.

AND PROGRAMS
A.
a liberal arts institution, Augsburg
College believes that knowledge andtruthare interrelated and are integrated into a
whole. The tradition of the academic
world, however, divides this unified truth
into more manageable parts: the academic
disciplines. The knowledge of individual
disciplines is subdivided into courses that
make it more accessible to students. These
courses can be arranged in various ways to
construct majors, to create the substance
of a broad general education, and to give
students the opportunity to study areas of
particular individual interest.
Descriptions of courses are arranged by
departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject
matter to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus containing a more
detailed explanation of content, approach,
requirements, and evaluations for a
particular course can be obtained from
the instructor.
Department entries also contain a
narrative discussion of the educational
philosophy of each department, its goals,
and its place in the College's program. A
listing of requirements for individual
majors and minors follows the narrative.
Class Schedule
Courses listed are subject to change. In
general, classes are offered fall and/or
spring terms unless otherwise indicated.
The Schedule of Classes published each
spring by the Associated Colleges of the
Twin Cities (ACTC) lists offerings and
locations for fall and spring terms.
Since some courses are offered alternate
years, it is important that the student
review major requirements and course
offerings with an adviser to ensure that all
requirements can be met.
Descriptions and schedules for Interim ,
Summer Session, Weekend College, the
Master of Arts in Leadership, and the
Master of Social Work courses are published in separate catalogs.
Credits
A full course is offered for one course
credit. A few fractional courses, for onehalf or one-quarter course credit, are
offered in the Division of Professional
Studies. Unless noted, all courses are one
course credit. A full course has the approximate value of four semester credits or six
quarter hours. Most courses meet for three
60-minute periods or two 90-minute periods
per week with additional time required for
laboratory work.
Numbering
Courses numbered below 300 are lower
division courses. Courses numbered 300
and above are classified as upper division.
In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for freshmen, 200s for sophomores, 300s
for juniors, and 400s for seniors.
Prerequisites
Courses that must be taken before
enrolling in a higher level course are listed
in the course description as prerequisites.
A student may enroll in a course when a
prerequisite has not been fulfilled if there is
prior approval by the professor teaching
the course.

Departments and Programs 85
director of internships and cooperative
education.
Every department offers opportunities
for internships and independent study. The
course description and process for registering is normally the same for each department. Some departments have additional
statements that can be found in the departmental course listing. Interdisciplinary
internships are also available.
W INTERNSHIPS
Registration for internships consists of
the following steps:
1. Obtain the internship registration
permission form from the Center for
Service, Work, and Learning and secure the
signatures of the faculty supervisor and
2. Register for a 199 or 399 Internship
during the registration period. The signed
permission form must be turned in at the
time of registration. (Students may pre-register without a placement secured, but a
suitable internship must be found by the
end of the registration or drop/add period.)
3. A learning agreement (forms are
available in the Center for Service, Work,
and Learning) must be completed with
the faculty member responsible for grading the experience and the work supervisor. The original is turned in to the Center
for Service, Work, and Learning, with
copies made for the faculty, supervisor,
and student.
199
lnternship
A work or service-based learning experience at the sophomore level in which a student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the
ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. Participation in a concurrent seminar may be expected. Prior to the beginning
of the termlregistration, interested students must consult with the departmental
internship coordinator and the Center for Service, Work, and Learning regarding
requirements and permission to register.
399
lnternship
A work or service-based learning experience at the juniodsenior level in which a
student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links
the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. Participation in a concurrent seminar is often expected. Prior to the beginning
of the term/registration, interested students must consult with the departmental
internship coordinator and the internship office regarding requirements and permission to register.

A.
t is important as a field of study
for our time. 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 sensitivity
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
Augsburg, draw ideas and inspiration from
all disciplines. Art as a human activity does
involve manual skill, although to become
broadly significant it should interact with
the content available in other fields, such
as language, history, drama, music, literature, philosophy, theology, business, physical education, and science.
A liberal arts college like Augsburg is
an ideal setting for the study of art because
it provides a constant possibility for the
interaction of ideas, disciplines, and attitudes. At Augsburg, art study is further
enhanced by associations with a significant
number of art galleries and museums in
the Twin Cities area.

T
he Augsburg Experience: Arriving
at Augsburg ...
The initial months after entering college as a first-year student are an exciting
period of change. The faculty and staff
wish to assist students in making a successful transition to being college students
and to help them become part of this academic community. Through the summer orientation program, the fall orientation
weekend, and the Augsburg Seminar, 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 students.
Augsburg Seminar
At registration, all first-year students in
the day program enroll in a selected content course, such as Effective Writing and a
parallel Augsburg Seminar. These 'paired'
courses integrate disciplinary content with
AUC 101
various learning strategies and communitybuilding opportunities beneficial to all
beginning students.
The content course usually meets three
hours per week for the entire semester and
is valued at 1.0 course credit, and the
Augsburg Seminar meets once a week for
12 weeks for .25 course credit. The
Augsburg Seminar offers the opportunity
for further discussion of topics from the
paired content course, along with presentations on campus life, academic resources
and study skills, and a hands-on introduction to the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood.
While the content course is graded on a
traditional point basis, the Augsburg
Seminar is graded Pass/No credit (P/N).
However, performance in the course is
linked to performance in the seminar.
Students must successfully complete
the entire 12-week Augsburg Seminar in
order to fulfill the requirement, even if
they drop the paired content course.
Permission to complete the seminar after
withdrawal from the content course is at
the discretion of the instructor.
Augsburg Seminar (.25 course)
A series of fall-term meetings with an Augsburg seminar adviser to discuss
issues related to becoming an active member of the Augsburg College community of learners. Discussion will be based upon topics and readings from the
connected content course and other disciplines and sources. (P/N grading only)
B
iology is the study of life, and it's
natural that we, as contemplative living
creatures, seek a deeper understanding of
the living world that envelops us. This
search has led to the realization that the
Earth is filled with an enormous variety of
living organisms. Since humans are a part
of the biological world, an understanding
of the basic biological processes common
to all organisms is essential to attain selfunderstanding and to provide a basis for
wise decisions.

B10 215 Introductory Cellular Biology
In recent decades great strides have
been made in understanding important biological processes, particularly those at the
cellular, molecular, and ecosystem levels.
Biological research has also provided some
extremely important benefits to humans,
including advances in memcine, agriculture, and food science.
and at least one from each of the five
following groups:
Because 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 to support the student's
broad-based understanding of biology.
2.
For many, an undergraduate major in
biology serves primarily as a basis for further study. Augsburg graduates have gone
on to further studies in the life sciences,
leading to careers in college or university
teaching, basic and applied research, and
public health. Many have entered professional programs in medicine, veterinary
medicine, and dentistry. Other graduates
have gone directly into secondary education, biomedical industries, laboratory
research, natural resources, and environmental education.

department. Normally BIO 113 and 114
and Principles of Chemistry (or General
Chemistry) should be taken in the first
year, and Introductory Cellular Biology and
Organic Chemistry in the second year.
Students normally complete their math
requirements early in their college careers.
Students should consult members of
the biology faculty and the pre-medical
adviser in the Academic Advising Center
for information specific to medical
school application.
Graduate and Professional Training
Graduate programs in biological fields
require coursework similar to that for premedical education, and may also require
undergraduate research experience. Health
care professions (physician assistant, physical therapist, veterinarian, etc.) have specific requirements that should be discussed
with an adviser in the department and the
pre-medical adviser in the Academic
Advising Center.
Teaching Licensure Major
The State of Minnesota has specific
licensing requirements for teachers that may
differ in emphasis from the Augsburg major
requirements. The state requirements may
also be subject to change after publication
of this catalog. Students therefore should
consult with the Augsburg Department of
Education to identlfy current Minnesota
teacher licensure requirements.

ur mission is to prepare
- students
for professional careers in business or for
graduate studies. This preparation involves
a curriculum that stresses analysis and
communication, emphasizes both theory
and practice, and is shaped by the needs of
the business community. The department
fosters close ties with the corporate community that provide a wealth of practical
expertise, a variety of internship opportunities, and future job prospects.
The faculty believe they can best serve
both the student and the community by
providing an education that is technically
competent, ethically based, and socially
aware.

major there are four specializations: marketing, management, finance, and international business. Within the accounting
major there are three specializations: general accounting, public accounting, and
managerial accounting.
Graduation Requirements
To graduate without intentionally
taking courses in excess of the minimal
number required (see page 68), students
must avoid taking too many electives or
exceeding the 13-course limit per academic
department. Courses designated as ACC,
BUS, and MIS are considered as being in
the same academic department. Taking
extra electives, or choosing a
particular combination of major and
minor may require students to complete
more than the minimum number of
credits required for graduation.
Transfer Students
Transfer students must complete at
least four of the upper division courses
required in the major at Augsburg or
obtain an exemption from the department.
Transfer courses must be approved by the
department. Courses taken more than 10

T
he major in accounting prepares students for professional careers in a wide
variety of accounting-related positions.
This major has three tracks: general
accounting, professional accounting, and
managerial accounting. The general
accounting specialization is adequate for a
wide variety of positions. The professional
accounting track includes two specializations: public accounting and managerial
accounting. The public accounting specialization is recommended for positions with
CPA firms. The managerial accounting specialization is recommended for positions
with large or rapidly-growing companies.
The two professional specializations
relate to two professional designations: the
CPA and the CMA. A certified public
accountant (CPA) focuses on external
reporting; a certified management accountant (CMA) focuses on internal reporting.
The public accounting specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the
CPA exam; the managerial specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the
CMA exam. Both the CPA and CMA designation have an experience requirement in
addition to passing the national exam.
Under the rules of the Minnesota State
Board of Accountancy, accounting majors
in the public accounting specialization are
qualified to sit for the CPA examination
during their last semester.

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

T
he Augsburg Department of
Computer Science strives to give students
a sound theoretical and practical foundation in computer science. We offer both a
B.A. and a B.S. major. The computer science curriculum places eniphasis on networks, communications, and the use of
computers as an information access tool.
The coursework provides students a strong
base in computer science, with emphasis
on concepts rather than on applications.
We encourage students to strengthen their
coursework by electing an internship or
cooperative education experience. Our
location in the Twin Cities makes us an
excellent resource of such experiences for
students, and allows them to add practical
applications to their education.

A
major in East Asian studies is
offered through Augsburg and the other
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities
(ACTC). This is an inter-college, interdepartmental program that is available as a
result of the cooperation and cross-registration possibilities among Augsburg
College, Hamline University, Macalester
College, The College of St. Catherine, and
the University of St. Thomas. The program
pools the resources and expertise within
the five institutions. This major enables
students to acquire a broad knowledge of
Japan, China, and other East Asian
nations, and to gain a functional knowledge of the language of one country.
Career opportunities for those who
attain a liberal arts degree in East Asian
studies include government service, international business, journalism, language
instruction, Asian arts, and intercultural
communication. The major provides a
foundation for graduate work in various
fields such as anthropology, economics,
history, international relations, business,
law, political science, sociology, and theatre. This major is also recommended for
those interested in education and work
with social and recreational agencies.
East Asian Studies Faculty
Martha Johnson, Director
Major in East Asian Studies
Nine courses are required for the
major. Courses in the major must be
approved by the campus adviser and are
distributed as follows: four courses in an
East Asian language; four additional courses,
two of which must be upper division
(strongly recommended that one of these
be a history course on China or Japan);
and an East Asian studies seminar. A term
of study abroad and the completion of a
minor in another discipline are strongly
recommended.
Study abroad opportunities for the
semester or a year are available in Hong
Kong, Japan, Korea, and the People's
Republic of China. Study abroad strengthens the East Asian studies major by offering a cross-cultural experience in the
country of specialization.
Language Courses
Hamline University offers elementary
and intermediate courses in Chinese.
Macalester College and the University of
St. Thomas offer elementary and intermediate courses in Japanese. There is a contractual arrangement with the University
of Minnesota to take Chinese or Japanese
languages (without extra tuition charges);
see campus adviser. Non-majors may also
take the Chinese and Japanese language
courses.
-
East Asian Studies
Minor in East Asian Studies
Five courses, no more than two of
which may be in the language. A minor in
East Asian studies provides exposure to an
area of East Asia that would complement
other discivlines.
Note: Interim courses or new courses
related to the East Asian Studies Program
may be substituted when appropriate,
with the consent of the campus adviser.
Faculty advising is recommended at all
stages of the major to plan a coherent and
effective program.
Each campus has a member on the
ACTC East Asian studies committee who
can assist students. The current advisers
are: Augsburg-Martha Johnson, 330-1715;
Hamline-Richard Kagan, 641-2433;
Macalester-Yue-him Tam, 696-6262;
St. Catherine-Martha Hardesty, 690-6189;
St. Thomas-Robert Foy, 962-5603.

T
he Department of Economics offers a
program that stresses a strong theoretical
background, quantitative analysis, and an
emphasis on national and international
issues. Students who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to continue
their education in a variety of fields or to
work successfully in business and government because of the strong liberal arts
emphasis within the major.
Currently four majors are offered. The
economics major is designed primarily for
students who are planning graduate or
advanced professional studies. The applied
economics major generally leads to careers
in the business world or government.
Computational economics meets the challenge of the changing career opportunities
in the fields of economics and computer
science. Finally, the combined
economics/business administration major
is designed for those who want more flexibility in planning their program of study.
The study of economics provides a firm
foundation for confronting change because
it presents a disciplined way to analyze
and to make choices. Some reasons for
studying economics are: economics deals
with current problems, economics is a successful and prestigious social science, economics employs theoretical models and
the scientific method, an economics major
prepares students for community leadership, and an economics major leads to a
great diversity of career opportunities.
These include careers in business, law,
teaching, journalism, politics, banking and
Einance, service in government, educational administration, private and public international senrice, and industrial relations. A
degree in economics may prove to be a
valuable credential.
Students are also able to combine an
economics major with other disciplines
such as business administration, international relations, mathematics, computer
science, management information systems
(MIS), political science, history, and
Nordic area studies.
Transfer students majoring in the economics department must take at least four
upper division economics courses at
Augsburg, one of which must be ECO 312
or 313.
Internships are recommended. Students
must consult with the department chair
and the internship office before registering
for academic credit.

ugsburg College has cooperative
arrangements
with three universities to
allow students to earn a bachelor of arts
degree from Augsburg College and an engineering degree from either the University
of Minnesota Institute of Technology,
Minneapolis; Washington University
School of Engineering and Applied
Science, St. Louis, Missouri; or Michigan
Technological University, Houghton,
Michigan. Because of the special requirements and opportunities of these programs, early consultation with the
Augsburg engineering adviser is necessary.
Applications for these programs require the
recommendation of the Augsburg engineering adviser.
University of Minnesota
The Institute of Technology and
Augsburg cooperative arrangement provides
for two dual degree engineering programs:
Bachelor of Art~IBachelorof
Engineering (B.A.1B.E.) enables students
to receive a bachelor of arts degree from
Augsburg College and a bachelor of engineering degree from the University of
Minnesota. The program typically involves
three years at Augsburg and two years at
the Institute of Technology.
Students may apply for the program
after completing the sophomore year. At
that time, they will be informed of their
status in the program and any further conditions necessary for final acceptance into
the program. Formal application to the
Institute of Technology may be completed
during the second semester of the junior
year at Augsburg.
Bachelor of ArtsIMaster of
Engineering (B.A.1M.E.) enables
students to receive a bachelor of arts
degree from Augsburg College and a
master of engineering degree from the
University of Minnesota. This program
involves four years at Augsburg and, typically, two years at the Institute of
Technology.
The cumculum is the same as the
B.A.B.E. cumculum with the addition of
several extra courses that are completed at
Augsburg during the senior year to minimize the number of undergraduate courses,
if any, that students must take at the university before proceeding through the graduate cumculum. The number of such
courses varies by IT department and area
of emphasis within a department.
Application for admission into the
B.A.M.E. program should be initiated during the second semester of the junior year
at Augsburg. Formal application for the
program may be completed during the
senior year. Those admitted will receive
special counseling from the Institute of
Technology staff regarding courses that
should be taken during the senior year at
Augsburg. Participants in the B.A.M.E.
program are not guaranteed admission to
the Institute of Technology.
Washington University
(Three-Year Plan)
Michigan Technological University
(Dual-Degree Plan)
These two programs enable students to
receive a bachelor of arts degree from
Augsburg and a bachelor of engineering
degree from Washington University School
of Engineering and Applied Science or
Michigan Technological University in a
five-year period.
The first three years are spent at
Augsburg followed by two years at the
affiliated university. Students accepted into
the program will be considered for admission to the engineering school if they com-
-
Engineering 1 3
plete course requirements, have the requisite cumulative grade point average, and
are recommended by the engineering
adviser of Augsburg College.
Students are also encouraged to explore
opportunities for graduate work at
Washington University and Michigan
Technological University. Further information on these and other graduate programs
is available from the Augsburg engineering
adviser.
Financial Aid: Students receiving
financial aid who are participants in these
dual degree programs will be encouraged
to apply to the engineering school of their
choice for continuing support. Their applications will be evaluated using need and
academic performance as criteria.
Minimum course requirements for
admission to the dual-degree or three-two
programs:
CHM 115 General Chemistry
CHM 116 General Chemistry
CSC 170 Structured Programming
ENG 111 Effective Writing
PHY 121 General Physics I
PHY 122 General Physics 11
Four mathematics courses are required:
MAT 145 Calculus I
MAT 146 Calculus I1
MAT 245 Calculus 111
MAT 247 Modeling and Differential
Equations
Additional courses to meet general education requirements and a total of 27 courses
at Augsburg. Normally MAT 145, 146 and
PHY 121,122 are taken in the freshman
year. Students interested in chemical engineering also should take CHM 351,352.

hose who study English believe that
an intense concern for words, ideas, and
images helps people understand who they
are and who they can become. Writing
helps all of us clarify and share our
thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate
the pains and joys of human existence.
Through the study of English we see life's
complexity, experience life as others do,
and better understand the world in which
we live and work.
English relates closely to other majors.
With the other arts, English is concerned
with the pleasure that comes from artistic
creation and with the contemplation of
works of art. With psychology and sociology,
English is concerned with individual and
group behavior. With philosophy, English
is interested in ideas and in the relation
between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering
order and determining structures. With
speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and
humanities, English studies the way people
have acted and thought at different times
and in various cultures.
The Augsburg Department of English
integrates its program with the cultural
opportunities of this vital urban area.
Augsburg students can walk to assigned or
recommended plays, films, and readings
available near the campus. English majors
have the opportunity to use and refine
their skills through working in internships
on and off campus, tutoring English as a
Second Language (ESL) students, tutoring
in the writing lab, or participating in the
Cooperative Education Program.
Students with an Augsburg English
major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism,
government, law, the ministry, library sci-
ence, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions and businesses.

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

major fields.
The program is founded on reciprocal
agreements with selected institutions of
higher learning in Europe and Japan.
Under these agreements International
Partner students from abroad receive part
of their academic training at Augsburg, and
qualified Augsburg students are guaranteed
admission to partner institutions, where
courses are pre-approved for credit toward
graduation requirements at Augsburg.
Study abroad through International
Partners emphasizes business, education,
and social work, but is not limited to these
fields. The study program may be for one
year, one semester, a one-month Interim,
or a summer session. Participation may be
on an individual basis or as part of a student group accompanied by Augsburg faculty. For further information, contact the
International Partners office.

athematics is the study of structure and relationships, providing tools for
solving a wide variety of problems.
Mathematical language describes our world
from the perspectives of the natural, physical, and social sciences. Engaging in mathematical thought processes helps strengthen
the problem solving and quantitative reasoning skills that are increasingly expected
of every member of contemporary society.
Moreover, as mathematics has had a formative impact on the development of civilization, it is an important part of a liberal arts
education. Students majoring in many disciplines that involve structure or relationships find it helpful to acquire a minor or a
second major in mathematics.

Mathematics is also a discipline in its
own right. Students majoring in mathematics acquire the skills necessary to serve
society through a variety of careers. In addition to acquiring computational and problem solving skills, mathematics majors at
Augsburg develop their abilities to reason
abstractly, to conjecture critique and justify
their assertions, to formulate questions, to
investigate open-ended problems, to read
and comprehend precise mathematical writings, to speak and write about mathematical ideas, and to experience working in
teams on mathematical projects. These students can prepare for graduate school, for
work in industry or service professions, or
for teaching mathematics in grades 7-12.
Teaching Licensure Major
The department's programs support work
toward those goals. Students may choose
either a standard mathematics major, a
mathematics major with concenaation in
applied mathematics, or a mathematics
major toward secondary education licensure.
Augsburg's urban location allows students to
gain experience working with mathematics
through internships, cooperative education,
and the practicum and colloquium courses.
