Interim Courses
Contents
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 3 112
weeks, attendance at every class is imperative. While it is
expected that students will attend every class period, instructors will establish the precise attendance policy for their
courses. 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. Freshmen are
required to take an Interim course their first year. 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 credit. 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 students (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 $1630
per course credit. If they do so, they may take only 1.0 additional course credit in Weekend College for winter trimester.
Augsburg College, as affirmed in its mission, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national
or ethnic origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, or disability in its
education policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan
programs, athletic and/or school administered programs,
except in those instances where religion is a bona fide occupational qualification. Augsburg College is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to its employees and its students.
Any questions concerning Augsburg's compliance with federal
or state regulations implementing equal access and opportunity can be directed to Lora Steil, affirmative action coordinator, Office of Human Resources, CB 79, Augsburg College,
221 1 Riverside Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55454. She can be
reached by telephone, (612) 330-1023; or by e-mail,

.
International Interim-Students are invited to participate in
the international Interim courses offered by the Upper
Midwest Association for Intercultural Education (UMAIE)
and other consortia. These course opportunities are listed on
page 45. Some courses have early registration deadlines.
Internships deadline-Friday, December 10. 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 Center for
Service, Work, and Learning (1st floor Memorial) by the first
day of Interim classes. 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 internships is available in the
Center for Service, Work, and Learning.
Independent study/research 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 Office of the Registrar.
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 are available
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 general
education requirements or major 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 $1,630 for the Interim course.
Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim
should write to the Ofice of the Registrar for application
forms or use the forms provided by the Interim office at their
own school. There is an application processing fee of $25.
Students are welcome to stay on campus but are not required
to do so. Requests for Interim housing should be made to the
Office of Residence Life.
It should be noted that neither ACTC exchange students nor
visiting students may register for 199,299,399, or 499 courses.
About This Catalog
The catalog lists courses by departments in alphabetical order.
At the end of the book are listings of other courses not
offered by Augsburg but recognized by the College for Interim
credit. Students may also register for one of the lifetime sports
listed at the end of the catalog. Courses that include travel are
marked with an airplane.

Chemistry for Changing Timer
CHM 100-J
Instructor: 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 green house 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 score of total points on the daily
quizzes.

Introduction to Polymer Chemistry and
American Plastic
CHM 104-J
Instructor: Ron Fedie
Previously there was the Stone Age, Iron Age, and Bronze age.
Now we live in the Age of Polymers (and Plastics). Without
this innovative technology, life as we know it would be much
different. The variety of polymer molecules and their properties make up many, diverse plastics and the variations are endless. Many items and materials in the areas of coatings, adhesives, leisure/sports equipment, building/construction, automobiles, furniture, clothes, medical supplies, cosmetics, and
others that are used every day come from different polymeric
materials made from polymer molecules. In this course we
will explore and discuss the world of polymer chemistry.
Polyethylene is one of the most commonly used synthetic
polymers found in "plastic" wrap and trash bags. A common
natural polymer, polyisoprene, is collected from the sap of
rubber trees and tires, golf balls, and latex gloves are just some
of the many uses. The class will focus on two books. One,
American Plastic: A Cultural History, by Jeffrey Meikle for the
historical perspective of our world of polymers. Themes from
the book, the different types of polymers used, and recent
themes such as the recycling of plastics will be discussed. A
second book, Giant Molecules, by Grosberg and Khokhlov, will
help with the previously mentioned themes and give more
depth to the broad world of polymers not covered in Meikle's
book. There will be six lab periods in which some polymer
molecules will be made and several of their interesting properties will be explored. Students will be graded on 25 group
worksheets, 6 quizzes, 6 reflection papers, 6 lab periods, and
an individual project and presentation.

Instructor: Charles Sheaffer
This course is especially intended for students with no prior
exposure to programming in particular or computer science
in general. It will be a laboratory intensive, self-paced course
using the Scheme programming language. We will introduce
an alternative approach to some of the most important concepts of computer science including problem solving, simulation, object-oriented programming, functional programming,
procedural and data abstraction, and program interpretation.
Students with knowledge of programming will benefit from
exposure to the alternative paradigm represented by the
Scheme language and will acquire a concrete understanding
of how these important concepts are actually implemented in
real languages and machines. Students will be evaluated based
on a series of programming projects. CSC is a continuation of
CSC 273.

American Dialects: Differences and
Attitudes
ENG 219-J
Instructor: John Schmit
Because language plays an important role in our socialization,
the way we speak tells others who we are and with whom we
identify. Our speech is a reflection of our social and economic
standing and our cultural background. In this course we will
explore the ways in which both personal and group identities
are reflected by the ways in which we speak. We will examine a
number of American varieties of English and will attempt to
describe the rules by which these varieties operate. Class sessions will include brief lectures, student presentations, and
student-led discussions. In addition to presenting a topic, students will write a paper on the presentation topic and take a
final exam.

Topics: Introduction to Asian American
Literature
ENG 282-L
ENG 482-L
Instructor: Joan Thompson
In an essay about multicultural American literature, Walter J.
Ong writes that "literature is organized experience and consciousness. Since cultures organize experience and consciousness variously, the study of the literature of another culture
opens new vistas both into the exterior world and into the
human heart." This course will explore some of these vistas
through readings and discussions of nonfiction works, poetry,
short stories, a play, and a novel by Asian American authors.
Some ideas the writers take as subjects through their art
include definitions of an Asian American voice, explorations
of cultural and individual identity, visions of community, and
coming of age. Class sessions will include discussion of the
historical and social contexts that influence the writers studied. In addition to the reading, students will view at least one
Asian American film and possibly attend a relevant performance or reading. Course grades will be based on reading
journal, a short paper, a final exam, class attendance, and participation. Upper division students will read an additional
novel and write a research-based paper on it.

Topics: Investigating the Victorian
Thriller
ENG 282-0
ENG 482-0
Instructor: Dallas Liddle
This course will study the phenomenon in 19th-century
Britain of the popular novel of suspense, mystery, and terror.
Early in the century these tales were generally either "Gothic"
(stories of horror and the supernatural set in Italy or Spain)
or "Newgate" novels (true-crime stories about the lower classes). By the 1860s, however, popular novelists including
Charles Dickens, Mary Braddon, and others were producing a
stunningly successful series of works in which the action was
set in the everyday world of the Victorian middle classes.
These novels drew intense public scrutiny by raising issues
that the more polite genre of domestic fiction could hardly
hint at, including gender roles and sexual transgression, class
and race oppression, obsession and madness, and the dark
sides of urban life. We will read several of the best of these
thrillers, at the same time actively investigating the culture
that produced them. We will read original reviews and
responses, including parodies, and learn about the context of
newspaper and magazine journalism in which several of the
novels appeared. While we investigate the power of the Gothic
and Sensation genres for their original audiences, however, we
will also work to determine why these novels have continued
to appeal to successive generations of readers. Course grades
will be based on class attendance and participation, two short
papers, a group presentation, and a final exam. Upper-level
students will read one additional novel, write a research-based
paper on it, and share the results of their research with the
class.

Topics: Cinema and Sexual Identity
ENG 2824
Instructor: Doug Green
What does cinema reveal about how the 20th century has
thought about sexuality?How do cinematic images affect our
sense of our own sexual identity? This topics course in
English examines films from the early years of cinema to the
present in order to explore depictions of and cultural
assumptions about sexual identity. We will, moreover, consider the impact of these images on audience perceptions and
expectations, including those of the self. We will pay special
attention to the various images and constructions of homosexual as well as heterosexual identity in English-language
cinema, especially Hollywood movies, and in some silent and
foreign films. Taking Celluloid Closet as a point of departure,
we will consider how film affects sexual minorities in the
audience as well as in film production.
There will be short readings on sexuality and film. At each
class there will be a full or partial film screening, followed by
small-group and whole-class discussions. We may go to one
or two films offcampus as well, so students should be prepared to buy tickets; these out-of-class screenings may not be
at the regular class time. There will be at least one typed
journal entry due at each class period. The class will meet
from 1-5 p.m., Monday through Thursday of the first two
weeks of Interim; 1-5 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday of the
third week; and 1-5 p.m., Monday through Thursday of the
last week.
Grading will be based on the completion and quality of all
journal entries and on class/film attendance, preparation,
and participation. Students missing more than two
classes/films and/or two journal entries may not pass the
course. All grades
are PIN option only (i.e., 2.0 is required
for course credit).

Topics: Contemporary American Poetry
ENG 282-P
ENG 482-P
Instructor: John Mitchell
This course provides an introductory survey of contemporary
American poetry by poets whose works have come into
prominence since World War I1 or mid-century. Emphasis
will be given to the vision and sensibility of each poet and to
the themes of their poems, especially those images and statements that concern philosophical, historical, psychological
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

Instructor: Don Gustafson
This Interim experience is designed to look at the area of
South Asia (primarily India) that is home to one-fifth of the
people of our world. We'll use novels, films, some standard
historical writings, and current South Asia periodicals to consider the impact that colonialism, nationalism, and various
phases of modernization have had on this old, honored, and
traditional culture. We'll read the marriage ads and talk
about social structure, consider the spot at Ayodhya that has
prompted Hindus to massacre Muslims, think on the Christlikeness of a Gandhi, and perhaps have time to note one or
two of the contemporary religious phenomena. Looking at
South Asians helps us to see ourselves in a fuller perspective.
The course will include the usual pedagogical devices of lectures, discussions, some short reaction papers, and tests
(including a final). Students enrolling for upper division credit will be expected to have at least one prior college history

Remembering the 20th Century
HIS 440-J
Instructor: Jacqueline de Vries
As the millennium approaches, everyone-artists, politicians,
gossip columnists, historians-seems to have some opinion
about the waning 20th century. What has this century
wrought? The last hundred years have left a great many contradictions: two global wars that destroyed millions of lives
and swept away governments, but brought economic development; the decline (and recovery) of established religion; the
rise (and collapse) of a messianic faith in communism; great
increases in standards of living while famine and child labor
persist; technological breakthroughs that put teachers in space
and AK-47 rifles in the hands of children; new freedoms and
new forms of exploitation. In this course, we will together
attempt to make sense of the 20th century. Please note that
while the course will examine major events and developments
of the century, it will not offer a narrative history, nor will it
be exhaustive. Instead, it will explore a variety of possible
interpretive frameworks to help us better understand where
our grandparents have been and where we are today. Rather
than relying exclusively on (sometimes dry) textbooks, we will
explore the century through a variety of personal narratives,
both written and oral, and reflect on the shaping of both individual and collective memory.
Course materials will include several monographs and novels,
films, photographs, and guest lectures. Students will complete
three five-page papers, one of which will be an interview with
their oldest living relative.

Instructor: J. Ambrose Wolf
This course deals with physics aspects in movies as well as in
science fiction and fantasy fiction literature on a conceptual
level. We will explore scenes and settings in which physics plays
an important role and also learn to discern if they are physically correct or not. This will also expand the awareness of physics
in everyday life, where it is encountered and how it works. The
math component of this course will be minimized in favor of a
better grasp of the concepts and thought processes involved.
Various scenes from movies and excerpts from literature will be
presented, after which the physics connection and understanding will be explored in discussions. The weekly papers will
cover one of the topics discussed in class during that week; the
long-term paper will cover a general topic from physics in
everyday life and bibliographic research. Students' papers and
reviews will also be discussed class. This course is designed for
those students who do not plan to major or minor in physics.

Exploring Human Services
S WK 257-1
S WK 2 5 7 4
Instructors: Mary Lou Williams and Lois Bosch
Experiential learning occurs as students volunteer 80 hours in
a service agency or institution that they select. The placement
must be approved by course faculty and supervised by agency
staff. The course is designed to help students learn about
themselves in relation to a possible major or future career in
the human services.
The three-hour weekly seminar is devoted to discussions that
assist students in integrating agency experiences and readings
that explore the historical development of social welfare as an
institution and the nature and value system of social work as
a profession. Students will also examine and critique the manner in which social, economic, and political structures impact
diverse groups in society. Students will focus on their own
responsibilities in society, as well as examine their personal
value system in relation to special concerns, such as poverty
and the "isms." Detailed information will be sent to students
at the close of Interim registration.

Topics: Child Welfare Social Work and
the Law
S WK 295-J
Intructor: Tony Bibus
This course will introduce students to social work practice in
the area of child welfare with special focus on the relationship
of child welfare laws, policies, and court to the lives of families and children. Students will study Minnesota statutes, meet
with key policy makers, observe court procedures, and discuss
practice and legal issues with child welfare social workers and
possibly with families and children as well. There will also be
opportunities to compare child welfare laws and practice in
the U.S. with those in Europe, especially Norway. The principles of permanency planning, family-centered practice, prevention and protection, and the twin goals in child welfare of
securing safety and nurturing children while preserving their
ties to their family will be examined. We will also explore
controversies and emerging issues in child welfare law such as
concurrent planning, "dual-track" service strategies, encouragement of the adoption of children of color by white families, and research related to the effects of poverty and oppression on the neglect of children's need. Students will analyze
the dynamic interplay of societal values, power, politics, facts
and myths as they manifest themselves in child welfare laws;
they will begin to form their own positions regarding an ideal
approach to supporting the welfare of children from a global
perspective. Evaluation of learning will be in the form of
assessments by instructors and students of the major paper or
project completed for the course.

SOC 295-J
Instructor: James Vela-McConnell
Street gangs and warfare. Police brutality and genocide.
Domestic abuse and terrorism. What are the dynamics underlying these and other forms of violence?What do they have in
common? How do they differ? This course takes violence in
its many forms as a topic for sociological analysis and concludes with an examination of non-violent alternatives. With
this in mind, we will compare different theoretical perspectives on violence, such as psychological, social psychological,
and socio-cultural perspectives. The course will involve a
combination of lecture and discussion based on readings and
videos, debate of current issues in the field, and guest speakers
from and field trips to local organizations dealing with problems of violence. Students will be expected to research, write
about, and present on the sociological dimensions of a particular form of violence. In addition, there will be short reaction
papers based on the readings, and classroom participation
will be an important part of grading. This course has a lab
fee of $25 payable the first day of class to the instructor.

Topics: Discrimination, Harassment,
and Communication
SPC 295-J
Instructor: Robert Groven
If you keep sending poems to an old flame at work, are you
harassing them? If your boss tells racist jokes at a bar after
work, are they guilty of discrimination? Why are neo-Nazis
allowed to march through Jewish neighborhoods, but they
aren't allowed to hurl racial insults at co-workers?
Discrimination and harassment are in the headlines regularly,
but most people don't know what they really mean. What
kinds of communication constitute discrimination or harassment and why? This course covers all forms of illegal discrimination including gender, race, disability, religion, and sexual
orientation. It focuses on the legal approach to discriminatory
communication, but also examines the reactions of employers, employees, and organizations generally. This course uses
the "case method" teaching approach, where many specific
examples are studied to produce general conclusions. The
course involves role-playing, game-playing, debate, and writing. Course work includes a few short papers, one project, and
one test.
Maximum Enrollment: 20

eneval Information
Introduction to Augsburg Weekend College
Purpose
I
I
Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative to adults
who desire college experience but who work or have other commitments
during the week. It is a means by which men and women may earn a
bachelor's degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for
career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the
liberal arts.
The Adult as Student
The Augsburg Weekend College program is designed to meet the needs
and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the
assumption that the men and women who enroll in Weekend College
will be mature, self-disciplined and well-motivated adult learners who
seek a balance of classroclm experience and individualized study. Each
course is therefore divided into periods of concentrated on-campus study
separated by time for independent study and class preparation.
Alternate Weekends
To accommodate this format for learning, classes meet on alternate
weekends for three and a half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday
morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon.* Each class selected
by the student involves commitment to one of these four class periods.
Weekend College students may take from one to four different courses by
attending class every other weekend.
Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg Weekend College is participation in a
community of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the
student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and
encouragement to become involved in interaction both in and out of the
classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of both men
and women with a variety of work and life experiences.
To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages
Weekend College students to make use of college facilities such as the
library and college center, to take the opportunity of having shared meals
and coffee breaks, to participate in optional lunchtime seminars, and to
attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations
and athletic events.
*Laboratory sections or additional class hours may be scheduled on evenings
during the week.
Information Sessions
Adults who are interested in Augsburg Weekend College are encouraged
to attend one of the information sessions that are scheduled throughout
the year. These information sessions are free of charge and are
approximately 2 hours in length. Please call the Weekend College Office

Characteristics of the Educational Program
Educational Mission
For over a century Augsburg College has emphasized intellectual freedom
in the search for knowledge. Our academic program builds on a liberal
arts foundation to help students understand the past, interpret the
present, and plan for the future.
As in the weekday program, Augsburg Weekend College offers students a
unique combination of the liberal arts disciplines and professional
education. Our goals are to help students develop the intellectual skills
and attitudes to be life-long learners, increase their competence in
selected areas of professional work, and accomplish a higher level of
personal growth.
Accreditation and Affiliations
Augsburg College is fully accredited by the North Central Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools and The National Council for the

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

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

History
Augsburg College was founded in 1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin and
moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The name Augsburg College and
Seminary changed in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with
The American Lutheran Church.
Location
Augsburg's 23 acre campus is in the heart of the Twin Cities metropolitan

Center for Worship, Drama and Communication.
Accessibility
I
I
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 Ainerica.
About 51% of the students are Lutheran, 15% other Protestant and 15%
Roman Catholic. Several other affiliations are represented among
students and faculty.

Introduction to Interim
Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. The
College followsa 4-1-4 calendar,with Fall and Spring semestersof approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week January Interim. Interim is
particularly intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ
styles of teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in
places and ways not possible during the regular term.
Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students should plan to
spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as they
would for a four-course load during Fall and Spring semesters. Students
can register for only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition
refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale. Students
generally have the option to register on a Pass/No credit basis. A few
Interim courses are graded only on the P/N system; this is indicated in the
course description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division standing.
Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and the student must select.
Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard.
To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35 courses of
which at least three must be Interim courses (or one Interim less than the
number of years of full-time enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a transfer
enrolled full time for two years is required to complete one Interim for
graduation).
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the basis of race,
creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or handicap as
required by Title IX of the 1972Educational Amendments or Section504 of
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, in its admissions policies,
educational programs, activities and employment practices.

Chemistry has beeniinlin~atclya part of liberal education for
centuries. The early sikntists were considcrd to be philosophers
and their societies wcrPp11ilowplzicr I societies. In recent decades
the human seeking of pcxsonal indcpcnduncc has led to chemistry
becoming a part of evcrychy 1i fc fo the point of actual dependence
on chemistry. We live in a korld of pesticides, fertilizers, plastics,
"the pill", food additives aiqdprocessed foods, vitamin supplements, the energy crisis, chcmical dependency, biocides, pollutants, drugs, searching for lifc cm other planets, genetic manipulation, and it goes on and on. Etnoiions and mental disorders can
often be traced to chemical irnbalancc. The common dragged out,
grumpy feeling after an afternoon nap is a result of a chemical imbalance. The na turc of a hangover is the result of a complex system
of altered body chemistry. Even lcarhi ng appears to be the result
of chemical reaction to form a "rncrnoly molecule". Most of the
problems we &ce are molecular in na tnrc. What thenbut chemistry
can better help us to understand ourselves, our society, our world,
and our universe? Come join us as we b k c a molecular look at the

London is the nerve center for the country's resources and we will
begin by visiting some of its foremost community institutions such
as Great Ormond Street Childrensl Hospital and Toynbee Hall
Settlement. With the help of English social work students, we will
unravel the post Second World War commitment to universal
socialpolicies. These policies have established servicesavailable to
all citizensin health, education, income maintenance, housing, and
personal social servics. They also provide the major working turf
of the social work profession.
As a contrast to the inner city of London, we will visit Exeter and
explore the rural and beautiful coastal West Country. In addition
to the formal 'public' social work agencies such as Probation and
Corrections, we will make contact with informal services and the
small, more extended family oriented fishing and farming communities.
Throughout the course, there will be an emphasis on understanding current national policies and attitudes through cultural and
literary connections. Therefore, visits to the National Theatre, The
Houscs of Parliament, cathedrals, and ancient community sites
such asOxford are an integral part of rmgnizingand appreciating
the wholc community. CuIturc and history come to lifc duringday
excurtions through the gcntle English countryside ta Oxford and
Stratford, Warwick and Coventry, Bath and Canterbury.
Students will complement their direct experience by reading the
British press and current social policy pamphlets, journals, and
books. Suggested Readings: A. Kahn and S. Kammerman, Not the
Poor Alone; M . Bruce, The Rise of Fhe Welfare Stake; P.Barclay, Social
Workers: T h i r Role and Tmks; Charlcs Dickens, Oliver Twisf; any
play by G.B.Shaw, and the 'quality prcsd - The Gtdardinn, The
Times, The Telegraph.
Student evaluation will be based on a summary of a reflective
journal, an agency study, a critique of a current socialpolicy (which
includes a comparison with their American experience), and participation in visits and discussions. The course is offered on a P/
NP basis.
The comprehensivefee of $1,995 includes air and surfacetravel, accommodations, six dinners, four theater tickets and a one week
London travel pass.
Registration for this interim must be made before October 26 at
the Office of International Programs.

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

and character. We want people who can benefit from and
contribute to their community -the College community, and the
larger community.

Your Education
A

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

Financial Aid
Financing higher education could be the most significant investment a
person or family makes in a lifetime. So, proper planning and wise choices
are important, not only in choosing a college, but also in the methods used
to pay for it. Augsburg College, through its Office of Student Financial
Services, will help students and their families with both monetary and
advisory assistance to protect access to a quality education in spite of increasing costs.
Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg is a combinationof scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work opportunities. The College
cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing
various aid programs. For the academicyear 1986-87approximately 85%of
all students at Augsburg received scholarships, grants, loans and part-time
employment totalling over $7,200,000 from all aid sources.
The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the
student and family. Financial aid is intended to supplement student and
family resources.
The Family Financial Statement (FFS) of the American College Testing
Program (ACT)or the Financial Aid Form (FAF)of the College Scholarship
Service (CSS)helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student
is eligible. This analysis estimates the amount a student and family can be
expected to provide for college expenses, taking into account such family
financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependents, other
educational expenses, debts, retirement needs, and special considerations.

Campus Ministry
As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual as well as

diversity and richness of tradition. Bible studies, fellowship groups, outreach teams, planning committees, retreats, peace and justice forums,
hunger conferences, concerts, plays and movies are examples of the wide
variety of activities on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where
students, faculty and staff gather each day to give thanks and hear the
Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students gather for Holy Communion.
We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to use and discover the gifts that God has given them. As a college of
the church, we encourage students to form their own values which will be
the basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond their years at
Augsburg.

Living on Campus
Because ~ i ~ s b recognizes
u r ~
that a student's ability to respond to the
learning environment depends, in part, upon his or her living conditions, a
variety of housing alternatives is provided. The residence hall program
promotes student growth by asking students to actively participate in
group decision-making.Each residence unit has one or more Resident Staff
who facilitate the process of group living and discuss personal concerns
with individua1,students.
Augsburg requires all freshmen and sophomores not living at home to live
in College-operatedhousing. Married student housing is available in annex
housing and South Hall. Students rent a room at the beginning of the fall
term for the entire school year. New students receive room assignments the
summer before they arrive at Augsburg. Upperclass students make housing
arrangements in the spring. All resident students must sign housing contracts.
Freshmen and transfer students are urged to make the tuition deposit by
June 1in order to secure housing. Students who deposit after June 1will be
provided housing only if space is available.
All students living on campus must pay an advance payment when they
sign the housing contract. The feeis credited to the students' accounts when
they move into the residence.
Urness Tower -All new freshmen and some upperclass students live in
Urness Tower. This eleven story high-rise houses 324. Each floor is considered a house unit providing 36 students (two to a room), with their own
lounge, study and utility areas.
Mortensen Tower - This is the newest residence hall, an alternative to
traditional residence hall living. It contains 104 one- and two-bedroom
apartments to accommodate 312 upperclass students.
South Hall -Contains 12 apartments housing 34 upperclass students.
West Hall -Contains 12 one-bedroom apartments housing 24 upperclass
students.
Annex Housing - This provides an alternative opportunity for group
living. Groups of upperclass men or women share living space, house
responsibilities, and cooking. Houses are located in the campus area. One
way to maximize the living and learning of your housing situation is to bid
for a Special Interest House. Groups of students have created exciting
projects by writing and implementing educational impact proposals on
such topics as Environmental Concerns, Men's and Women's Awareness,
International Living, Honors Program, and Scandinavian Studies.
Mortensen Tower is carpeted, air conditioned, and contains kitchen units.
It is otherwise unfurnished. In other residence halls or houses, rooms are
furnished except for bed linens, towels, blankets, bedspreads, and lamps.
Laundry facilities are available in each residence.
Student Rights
The College has adopted a statement of student rights and responsibilities
and has provided for due process in matters of disciplinary action, grievances, and grade appeal. The Judicial Council is elected by students and
faculty and serves to conduct hearings and review matters of concern. Any
student who wishes to identify appropriate procedures for complaint
should contact the Vice President for Student Affairs.
The College operates in compliance with the Family Rights and Privacy Act
and Title IX. Students have the right to inspect all official records, files and
data which pertain to them and which are maintained in the Office of the
Registrar and the Placement Office and to challenge inaccurate or misleading information. Exceptions are parents' financial records and confidential
letters and statements placed in the record before January 1,1975, or placed
under conditions where students have signed a waiver of right of access.

based on sex, race, ethnic or cultural background, handicap, creed, marital
status or age.
Persons seeking additional information on these topics should contact the
Office of the Dean of Students or the appropriate coordinator as listed in the
Directory at the end of the Catalog.
Academic
Information
A
ugsburg College constructs its curriculum upon the premise
that students must be educated as full human persons: intellectually, spiritually, and physically. To act effectively, human beings must
have a broad grasp of the world from which they have come as well as
the world in which they live. By providing courses in the humanities,
natural sciences, and social sciences, the general education cumculum
introduces students to the breadth and complexity of knowledge and
culture.
Required courses in religion are designed to acquaint students with the
Christian tradition and encourage them to reflect upon the importance
and meaning of spirituality in their lives. Recreation courses offer
students the opportunity to develop skills for participation in exercise
and sporting activities.
Students choose from over forty major areas of study to gain a depth of
knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a career or further study.
Thus, through a balance of curricular activities supported by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg College education
strives to educate its students in a real world for the real world.

+ Faculty
The heart of any educational institutionis 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
research, including such varied studies as space physics, the history of
medieval spirituality, women in the Soviet Union, and homelessness in
American cities. Music faculty perform professionally on the local and
national level, and studio artists' works can be seen in buildings, galleries,
and shows around the country. Augsburg faculty see their research as
supportingtheir teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty
development program which introduces them to current thought in many
fields but especially in teaching techniques and theories.
Augsburg's size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers
and counselors and participate regularly in campus activities. Every student is assigned a freshman adviser and chooses a major adviser. In this
close interaction, faculty act as both mentors and models for students.
+ Library and Audio-Visual Services

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

global issues. In addition, a spring semester program in Mexico, "The
Program in Global Community," a fall semester in Mexico, "Human Services in a Latin American Context," and occasional Interims allow more indepth exposure to these topics.
Academic
Policies and
Procedures
V Registration
A student must be registered for a course to receive credit for it.
Students normally register for four coursesa semester and one course in the
Interim. Students registered for three or more courses in a semester are
classified as full-time students. To register for more than 4.5 courses,
students must contact the Registrar's office to petition the Committee on
Student Standing for permission.
Although a student may register up to two weeks afterthe semesterbegins,
registration is encouraged at the regularly scheduled time. Special feesare
charged for late registration. Special fees also are charged for cancelling or
adding courses or changing grading option after the first five days of a
semester.
A joint class schedule is published each Springby the Associated Colleges
of the Twin Cities, listing courses and their location at the five colleges for
the following semesters.
Separate catalogs of courses are published by the Interim Office, Summer
School Office, Weekend College Officeand Graduate Program Office for
those sessions at Augsburg, listing registration times and procedures.
Specific information on registration and help with registration on another
campus are available from these offices:
Office of the Registrar -Science 114, for Fall and Spring Terms
Interim Office -Memorial 230
Summer School Office -Memorial 230
Weekend College Office -2222 Murphy Square, for Fall, Winter and
Spring Trimesters
Graduate Program Office -2222 Murphy Square, for Fall, Winter and
Spring Trimesters
V Pre-Registration
Freshmen and transfer studentsmaypre-register during summerfor courses
in the fall.All currently enrolled studentsmay pre-register during the fall for
the springand during the springforthe fall.All studentsmust confirm their
registration at the beginning of each semester and complete financial
arrangements.
V Withdrawal from College
Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered,
since this results in a failing grade on the official record. Cancellation of
courses or withdrawal from College must be done in the Registrar's Office.
Withdrawal from College cannot occur during final examination week
unless a petition is approved by the Student Standing Committee. Withdrawal from College and resulting adjustments in accounts are effective as
of the date the completed Withdrawal from College form is returned to the
Registrar's Office.
V Leave of Absence
StudentsmayrequeslaLeave of Absence for academic or personalreasons.
Arequest formmust bepickedup fromthe Office of theDeanof the CoLlege.
It must be signed by the Dean of Sbdmts, or au khorized representative,and
by the Dean of the College, or authorized representative. The cornpIeted
form must be turned in to the Registrar's Office.
A Leave of Absence may be granted for one term or one academic year. If
an extension of a Leave of Absence is needed, it should be requested in the
same manner as the original Leave of Absence, and the completed form
must be turned in to the Registrar's Office before the expiration of the
previous Leave of Absence, or readmission will be required.
Students on leave are responsible for keeping the Registrar's Office informed of their mailing address. All deadlines for financial aid and housing
must be observed by returning students. A Leave of Absence does not defer
repayment of loans or extend incomplete deadlines.
V Graduation Requirements
The responsibility for seeing that all degree requirements are satisfied rests
with the student. Academic advisers, department chairpersons, the Academic Dean and the Registrar are available for counsel and assistance in
program planning.
Former Augsburg students, readmitted to complete a degree, have a choice
between using the catalog in effect when they first enrolled, or using the
catalog in effect at the point of readmission.
Each student must apply for graduation at the time specified by the
Registrar. Application forms are available in the Registrar's Office.
All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the
Registrais office prior to the anticipated date of graduation (there may be
no incompletes or open courses on the academic record).
See the separate section on Graduation with Distinction to learn about
requirements for these honors.
1.Completion of 35 courses -At least 11coursesmust be Upper Division,
numbered in the 300s and 400s. Not more than 13may be in one department,
except in certain approved majors - 17 (Music Education) or 20 (Music
Performance)for the Bachelor of Music degree, and 18 for the Bachelor of
Science (Music Therapy) or Bachelor of Science (Nursing) degree. The
course total must include three Interims for students whose complete
academic work is at Augsburg. For transfer students, the course total must
includeone less Interim course than the number of years at Augsburg. This
is calculated on each transfer student's evaluation of transfer credits.
No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 35 total courses
required: 4 Conservationof Human Resources (CHR)courses; 2 courses by
independent/directed study; 4 courses of Internship; and 8 courses with a
grade of Pass (PI. Non-traditional grading (P)also has these limits: 2 in the
major except Elementary Education and Nursing; 1in the minor if approved
by the department chairperson.
Students who enter an academic program with a baccalaureate or higher
degree should contact the Registrar's Officeabout specific requirementsfor
a second baccalaureate degree or for the equivalent of a major.
2. Completion of a Major -Requirements for each major are listed under
the departmental headings. A minor or double-major is not required, but is
encouraged.
3. First Year Experience (FYE) - All students who enter the College as
freshmen in the weekday schedule program must complete satisfactorily
the FYE Fall Orientation and Seminar. See the program section on the First
Year Experience for a full description.
4. Grade Point Average -2.0 for most majors -A grade point average
of 2.0 is required over all courses taken and over all courses which apply
toward the major. 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, social work.) See the departmental section for details.
5. Residence -The last year of full-time study or equivalent (minimum
of 7 courses for part-time students) must be at Augsburg. Contact the
Registrar if an official interpretation is needed.
6. Distribution Requirements -Next page.
V Distribution Requirements
Writing - A course in writing (English 111) or certification of demonstrated proficiency by the Department of English. Exemption tests are
given during the summer and fall orientation periods.
Liberal Arts - An approved course from each of these seven areas:
.Mathematics-Physics
Psychology-Sociology
Economics-Political Science
Chemistry-Biology
English-Speech, Communication
History-Philosophy
Art-Music
and Theatre Arts (devoted to the
study of literature)
A list of approved coursesis available from advisersand the RegisWs
Office.
Foreign Languages -Two courses (111 and 112)of one foreign language
at Augsburg. Studentswho test abovethe 111level of a foreignlanguage
will take one additional course at placement level in that language or
two courses (111 and 112) of another foreign language. International
students should consult with the Registrar.
Religion -Three approved courses in religion, of which not more than
one may be an Interim course. For transfer students, the number required is one Augsburg religion class for each year of study or equivalent at Augsburg. This is calculated on each transfer student's evaluation of transfer credits.
Urban Concerns, or Women's Studies, or Minority Studies-One course.
Courses approved to meet this requirement are published each term.
Information is available at the Registrar's Office.
Lifetime Sports -Two different Lifetime Sports or demonstrated proficiency in two different Lifetime Sports.
V English as a Second Language (ESL) Program
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, Developmental Writing, or Effective Writing will be determined by their scores on the Michigan test (80-90
range for exemption from ESL) and by a writing sample.
Near the end of each term of the English as a Second Language course, an
objective test will be administered to all students in the class. The score on
this test and the grade earned in the classwill determine whether additional
ESL course work is required. Usually a score of 80 to 90 and a course grade
of 3.5 or 4.0 will fulfill the student's ESL requirement.
If studentsdo not meet the ESL requirement, they will remain in ENG 217/
218 until they meet the criteria stated above. Academic credit will normally
be granted for no more than two courses.
Students who fulfill the ESL requirement, by examination or by course
completion, have completed the foreign language requirement for graduation.
V Evaluation and Grading
Student achievement in courses is measured primarily by final examinations. Shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation also are used.
Most courses are offered with grading options -traditional grading on a
4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system, in which P means a grade of
2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of lessthan 2.0. Studentsare
cautioned to use the P/N grade option with care since some graduate and
professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded
courses, or rank each as a "C." Transfer students are cautioned that Pgraded coursesdo not countin therequirementthat 14 traditionally graded
courses be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation
with distinction. See PJ N Iimi tations under Graduation Rquirments.
Certain corn are offered on one grading system only. Sociology 265 and
several Iaterim coursesare graded only on the P/N grading system. Some
education courses are graded only on the P/N system or only on the
traditional system. English I11 is graded P or N, or 2.0-4.0/N. Some other
courses are graded only P, 1.0, N. Chemistry Seminar and Lifetime Sports
are graded P/O.O.
In courses where there is a choice, studentswill be graded on the traditional
systemunlessthey indicateon their registration that they wish to use theP/
N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made
according to dates published each term. A fee is charged for any changes
after the first five days of classes.
'
IExplanation of Grades
Number grades are used with these definitions
4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence
3.5
3.0 Achieves above basic course standards
2.5
2.0 Meets basic standards for the course
1.5
1.0 Performance below basic course standards
0.5
0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course)
Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point
average. A grade of P representswork at or above the 2.0 level; N represents
work at the 1.5 or below level.
An incomplete grade may be given only in the case of extreme emergency.
To receive an incomplete grade, a student must receive permission of the
instructor of the course; must file a form stating the reasons for the request,
the work required to complete the course, the plan and date for completing
the work, and commentsfrom the instructor; and must gain the approval of
the Registrar.If permission is granted, the necessary work must be completed in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by theinstructor and
filing of a grade before the final day of the following semester. If the work
is not completed by that date, the grade for the coursebecomes a 0.0.
Internships, Indqendent Studies, and TXected Studies may sometimes
last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completedby
the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term
of registration. A grade of X is given by the instruckor to indicate that the
study is extended. It is expected that students givm X extensions will
continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that
satisfactoryprogress is being maintained. The Registrafs Office will automatically continue theregistration in response to an X grade. A finalgrade
will be issued at t h e end of the term in which the work is completed and
evaluated (butnot longer than one year). An instructor reserves the discretion of not giving an X whew satisfactory progress is not demonstrated.
Withdrawal from college or dropping these continued courses will terminate their registration. Under this circumstance, a re-registration as 1X by
the student would be necessary if done during registration periods within
one year of initial registration; if done after one year, a new registration
would be necessary.
A course inwhich a grade of 0,0.5,1 .O,15,N, I, or X has been received may
be repeated for credit. C o m e s in which higher grades have been earned
may riot be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. AIl courses
takenand grad- earned each termremain on theacademicrecord. Only the
aeditsand gradesearned the second,be,for legitimatelyrepeated courses,
are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average.
A course is given a grade of W when it is dropped after the deadline for
dropping classes without a notation on the record.
V Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by
registering for Audit (V).Full-time students may audit a murse without
charge. The charge for part-time students is listed under College Costs.
Students who audit a course shouId confer with the insmctor within two
weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expecfations, attendance
and any 0 ther requirement If expedations have been met, the course will
be listed on the hammipt as having k e n audited. If expectations have not
been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W (Withdrawn).
V Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at
Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred
from other colleges.Coursestakenon the P/N gradingoptionare recorded,
but not computed in the GPA.
V Classification
Students are classified in August and at the end of the Fall and Interim
terms.
-
Sophomores 7 courses completd with at least 14 grade points.
Juniors -16 courses compIeted with at least 32 grade points.
Seniors -25 courses completed with at least 50 grade points.
V Advanced Placement Program
Advanced placement in courses beyond the beginning level is granted to
students with scores of 3, 4, and 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement
Program Test. Additional credit or placement is at the discretion of the
department. Inquiries should be addressed to the Office of the Registrar.
V International Baccalaureate Program
Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate Program will be
consideredby the CoIIege for advanced placement and appropriatecredit
Departmental guidelines are available from the Office of the Registrar.
V Assessment of Previous Learning
(APL Program)
Augsburg Collegerecognizes that learningcan and does take place in many
life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic program of a liberal
arts college. The APL program (Assessment of Previous Learning) at
Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous learning, other
than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be
presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a
baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit
recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essentiaI
criteria: 1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the
Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and 2) it can be objectivelydemonstrated
either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation.
The APL program at Aupburgprovides sever& meansby which students
may have their previous learning assessed for credit recopition. The
following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment:
T h e College LevelEmmination Program (CLIP)-Thkis a seriesof standardized
tests which have been dewlo+ by The College Board and are offered to
studentsfora small f ~ e at
e regionaltesting centers.(Theregional testingcenter for
this area is the University of Minnesota.)Studentswho scoreat or above the 65th
percenkileon a subject examination may d v e academic credit for that subject
at Augsburg College. Additional information about CLEPtestsis availablefrom
the Office of the Registrar.
Departmental Comprehensive Exams -These are available for students to use in
obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met:
A. There is a departmental instrument available for subject area in question.
B. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the
exam.
C. The Student Standing Committee approves the student's request to take the
exam. Credit for departmental exams is availableon a pass/no credit basis
only, and there is a charge per exam.
TheCredit AssessmentProgxam(CAT)-This isa credit assessmentalternativein
which a faculky committee completesa credit evaluation of a learning portfolio
submitted by the student. The factdty committee is composd of the Rqktsar
and two faculty members from fields 05 study directly related to the student's
previous learning. Lnformational meetings and consdtation are provided for
students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment. This may include a personal meeting with the CAP Committee. In campleting the evaluation of a student's psevious Iearning, the CAP Cornmitree
applies the following criteria:
A. There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous
learning experience that involved prescribed and/or systematic study of
content material found within liberal arts coursework.
B. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the
presenting student.
C. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
D. The learning relates well to the student's educational goals.
E. The learning and skillsinvolved are current and could be used at the present
time.
Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least
four coursesof academicworkat Augsburg Collegewith acumulativeAugsburg
GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when
four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is an application deposit
(applicableto transcript charge) to initiate the credit assessment process, and a
charge for each semester credit applied to the student's transcript.
Transcript credit will be granted on the basis of semester credits, and the total
number of credits granted will be divided by four to determine the number of
courses applied'to graduation. These credits will be recorded with the course
number of CAP 2xx.Application of this credit toward distribution requirements
and academicmajors and minors may be subsequentlyaddressed by the departments involved in response to a formal request by the student.
Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning - While Augsburg College
recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional
classroom, this learningmust be placed in the contextof formal study in campusbased liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of nine
courses (one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the nine courses of
credit for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination
of the three assessment processes available in the APL program: CLEP exams,
departmentalexams, and credit granted through CAP Committee assessment.
V Academic Progress, Probation and Dismissal
The Collegerequires that studentsmaintain the followingcumulative grade
point averages (GPA):
Freshman a student having taken fewer than 7 courses cumulative
GPA of 1.6 or higher
Sophomore - a student having taken fewer than 16 courses mmulative GPA of 1.7 or higher
Junior a student having taken fewer than 25 courses cumulative GPA of 1.9 or higher
a student having taken 25 or more courses cumulative
Senior GPA of 2.0 or higher.
It should be noted that a minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation
with certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA.
Students whose academic achievement falls below these guidelines will
either be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term, or will be
continued on probation, or will be dismissed from the College. In addition,
a freshman who receives 2 zero grades or a sophomore who receives 3 zero
grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, dismissal
from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee
on Student Standing. Evidence of the student's commitment to academic
progress is the major consideration in deciding whether or not to dismiss a
student. Students who have a poor academic rmrd may be strongly
advised to withdraw before the end of a tern. Those on probation who
voluntarilywithdrawfromthe College, as well as those who are dismissed,
must have special permission to re-enroll.
Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA
reachesthe minirmm leveIs stated above. Studentsplaced on probation as
freshmen far having earned 2 zero grades may be removed h m probation
if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earned additional zero grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Studentsplaced
on probation as sophomores for having earned 3 zero grades may be
removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their
cumulative GPA reaches 1.9.
The Collegereserves the right to dismissany student who does not meet the
guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he or she may appeal
the decision within 10 days to the Committee on Student Standing.
V Dean's List
The Dean's List is compiled after each semester, listing students whose
grade p i n t average for a semester is 3.5 or better, based on a minimum of
three full courses, or equivalent, foraweekday schedule student or two full
courses, or equivalent, for a weekend college student, graded on the
traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for
credit. L€ permission is given, an announcement is sent to the hometown
newspaper of each student on the Dean's List.
V Graduation with Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined as follows:
Summa cum laude -3.8 to 4.0 cumulative GPA
Magna cum laude -3.6 up to but not including 3.8 cumulative GPA
Cum laude -3.3 up to but not including 3.6 cumulative GPA
To qualify for graduation with distinction, transfer students must have
completed two years (14 traditionallygradedcourses)of workat Augsburg.
7 Veterans of Military Service
Augsburg is approved by the StateApprovingAgency for Veterans Education. Veterans should tonsult with the Office of the Registrar about completion of the enrollment certificate and the forwardingof other information to
the Veterans Administration.
Augsburgs standardsd academic progress are giveninthisCatalog.When
a veteran or eligible perstln fads to maintain these prescribed standards of
progress, the College will so inform the Veterans Adminisfration. It is the
responsibiIity of each veteran to report any change in registration and/or
academic load to the Office of the Registrar, as i t is for all studmts.
If less than full-time, veterans will be referred to the State Approving
Agency after any period of two consecutive terms if they did not earn the
equivalent of what they had been certified for.
A non-punitive grade which brings a veteran's academic load for the term
below three courses will be reported to the Veterans Administration.
Veteranswill need to meet the requirements of theveterans Administration
regarding repayment of educational assistance funds received.
Departments
and Programs
Course Descriptions
Major and Minor Requirements
A
s a liberal arts institution, Augsburg College operates with a
belief that knowledge and truth are interrelated and are integrated into a whole. The tradition of the academic world, however,
divides this unified truth into more manageable parts: the academic
disciplines. The knowledge of individual disciplines is subdivided into
courses which make it more accessible to students. These courses can be
arranged in various ways to construct majors, to create the substance of a
broad general education, and to give students the opportunity to study
areas of particular individual interest.
Descriptions of caurszs are arranged by departments and programs.
T h e descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter covered in
individual courses to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus
containing a more detailed explanation of content, approach, and
requirements for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor.
Department entries also contain a narrative discussion of the educational
philosophy of each department, its pals, and its place in the College's
program. A Listing of requirements for individual majors follows the
narrative.
Courses and t e r n listed are subject to change. In general, classes are
offered Fa31 and/or Spring terms, unless another frqumcyis specified.
The Schedule of Classes published each spring lists offerings and locations for Fall and Spring terms. Descriptions and schedules for courses
of f e d in JanuaryInterim, Summer Scl~ml,Augsburg Weekend College
and the Master of Arts in Leadership program are published in separate
catalogs.
+ Credits
A full course is offered for one credit. A few fractional courses, for one-half
or one-quarter credit, are offered in the Division of Professional Studies.A
full course has the approximate value of 4 semester credits or 6 quarter
hours.
Most courses meet for three 60-minute periods or two 90-minute periods a
week, in addition to laboratories.
+ Numbering
Courses numbered below 300 are Lower Division courses. Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as Upper Division. In general, coursesin
the lOOsareprimarily for freshmen, 200s sophomores, 300sjuniors, and400s
seniors.
+ Prerequisites
Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are
listed in the course description. A skdent may enroll in a course when a
prerequisite has not been fyzfiIIed if there is prior approval by a professor
teaching the course and of the academic adpiw.
V Art
Department (ART)
Art is important as a field of study for our modem age. Our survival as a
culture may very well depend on whether we are able to create order
and beauty in the design and function of communities.Realizing this, we
have made design and msitivity to all aspects of visual experience
central to the art program at Augsburg.
Giving and receiving visual messages is so much a part of everyday life
that it is often taken for granted. At the same time, however, the interchange of visual ideas is frequently misunderstood. The task of the artist,
art teacher, and art historian is to celebrate visual experience through a
variety of media and art examples. In short, the visual arts teach us how
to see.
Because of the College's commitment to the liberal arts, the visual arts, as
taught at Aupburg draw ideas and inspiration from all disciplines. Art
as a human activity docs involve manual skill, although to become
broadly signifimnt i t should interact with the content available in other
fields, such as language, history, drama, music, literature, philosophy,
theology, business, physical education, and science.
A liberd arts college, such as Augsburg College, 5 an idea1 setting for
the study of art because it provides a constant possibility for the interaction of ideas, disciplines, and attitudes. At Augsburg, art study is further
enhanced by associations with a significant number of art galleries and
museums in the Twin Cities area.
Cooperative Education and Internships in studio art and art history
provide on-the-job, supervised, evaluated experiences which contribute
to the student's overall education and development. Primary goals
include improvement of art and museum skills, production and creative
strategies.
Hundreds of specific careers exist in the general area of art. Augsburg
graduates have established careers in such fields as teaching in public
schools and colleges, anthropology, pottery making, antique restoration
and sales, film and video work, portrait painting, and gallery and
museum work.
The future holds a great deal of promise for artists who can combine
skills with a breadth of understanding.

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

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

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

...-.
Those who study English believe that an intense concern for words,
ideas, and images helps us understand who we are and who we can
become. Writing helps us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps
us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through the
study of English we see life's complexity, experience life as others do,
and understand better the world in which we live and work.
English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is
concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with
the contemplation of works of art. With psychology and ~ o l o g y ,
English is concerned with individual and group khavior. With philo*
phy, English is interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning
and language. With dence, English is interested in discovering order
and det crmining structures. With speech and ~ommunications,English
studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social
sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and
thought at different times and in different cultures.
The Augsburg English Department integrates its program with the
cultural opportunities of this vital urban area. Augsburg students can
walk to assigned or recommended plays, films, a n d readings available
near the campus. English majors have the opportunity to use and refine
their skills through Internships on a n d off campus, tutoring in the
Writing Lab, or participating in the Co-op Ed Program.
Students with a n Augsburg English major pursue careers i n elementary,
secondary a n d college education, journalism, government, law, the
ministry, library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions a n d businesses. English majors may
start o n a slightly lower rung of the career ladder than those with more
specialized training, but will move to higher rungs more quickly because
of their broad background, their skill in analysis, a n d their superior
communication skills. Skills i n reading perceptively and writing effectively enhance a n y career and make life more enjoyable and understandable.

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

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

V Humanities
(HUM)
Bruce Reichenbach (Chairperson), John Benson and Richard Nelson
The Humanities major provides the opportunity to reflect across departmental lines, to experience the ways in which different academic disciplines approach simiIar questions and issues, and to participate in interdisdplinary learning experiences. You can, in effect, m a t e your own
major by choosing a theme or topic you wish to study,and then by
taking courses in various departments relating to that theme.
The major was created especially to encourage students not majoring in
the humanities but in such areas as science, business, or social science to
broaden their insights and perspectives by taking a broadly-based
second major.
Major: g murses, including 275. Elve of the courses must be Upper Division.
Courses must be selected fmm at least 4 of these 7 departments- Art, English,
Foreign Languages, fTistory,l%3osophy, Religion, and Speech,Communication
and Theatre Arts. No more than 3 courses from anyone department can be used
to satisfy the requirement.
I
Note: Each student taking a humanities mapr will focus on someparticular theme
or perspective which will constitute the core of the major p r o m . Six ofthe 9
courses must be t a k a in this core.The core adopted and the courses chosen to
meet the requirement will be worked out with the student's adviser in the
humanities, and must be approved by the Humanities Major Committee. The
theme or perspective of the corecan k chosen from those listed in the Humanities Handbook or can be created by the skudent in consultation with an adviser
in the humanities. Further information concerning the core can be found in the
Humanities Handbook.
A student may not list a double major in humanities and in one of the component
disciplinesunless the distribution of courses selected in the humanities major is
significantly different from the other major.

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

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

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

V Physics
:

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

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

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

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

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

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

and Theatre Arts
Department (SPC)
+ Communication
Speech, communication, and theatre arts at Augsburg are humane
studies designed to promote sensitivity and wisdom in the use of
communication, since true communication aims to foster informed,
responsible choice and shared understanding.
The primary aim of the Department is to help students to communicate
effectivelythrough both speaking and writing. The courses are designed
(1) to promote the intellectual disciplines required for research, exposition, and argument; (2) to develop writing and speaking skills; (3) to
build confidence, creativity, and ethical sensitivity; and (4) to provide a
wide variety of realistic communication experiences.
Communication careers call for a broad liberal arts education, so the
communication major at Augsburg begins with a foundation of logic,
psychology, sociology, literature, writing, and public speaking. In addition to these preparatory courses, the communication major requires five
core courses: advanced writing, interpersonal communication, persuasive communication, mass media, and a communication Internship.
With the help of a faculty adviser, the student selects five elective
courses pertaining to one of the following communication emphases:
journalism, public relations, supervisory management, human relations,
broadcast media, speech or theatre arts education. For breadth we rec-
ommend double majors, and for practical experience we recommend
participation in co-curricular communication activities throughout the
college years, climaxing in Internships under professional supervision.
This major is also used as preparation for other fields, such as religion,
politics, and law. The speech major is designed to prepare students for
teaching in the secondary schools.
Students should meet with a Departmental adviser as early as possible to
plan the major and obtain a copy of the Departmental Handbook.
+ Theatre Arts
Theatre is not primarily an extracurricular activity nor is it merely
entertainment. As a laboratory that uses all of the liberal arts, theatre
enhances a liberal arts education. By reliving how other people throughout history were thinking, feeling and struggling, actors have a greater
understanding of their own humanity. Theatre enables students to
experience the beauty, mystery, and ambiguity of life.
Minneapolis-St. Paul is an ideal place to study theatre, because it is one
of the major theatre centers in the United States. Augsburg students
expand their knowledge of theatre not only by attending, but also by
working in the professional and community theatres of the Twin Cities.
Our theatre faculty has professional experience which enables them to
provide realistic guidance to students.
The Augsburg program encourages students to participate in all aspects
of theatre production while providing each student the opportunity of
emphasizing one specific area, such as acting, directing, or design. While
the program is primarily designed to prepare students for educational
theatre, graduates go into many other fields, such as professional theatre,
television, film, advertising, business, and religion.
Speech, Communication and Theatre Arts Faculty: Julie Bolton (Chairperson),
Raymond Anderson, Deborah Bart, David Lapakko, Martha Johnson
Honors Major: GPA of 3.5 in the major, 3.0 overall, 2 Independent Study
