Mailing Address: 221 1 Riverside Avenue Minneapolis. MN 55454 Web Site: www.augsburg.edu 330-1782 A t Augsburg College, we believe that the college experience should be a time of exploration, of discovery, of new experiences, and new possibilities. We also believe that a liberal arts education is your best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Upon graduation, you will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively Emphasis on values, perspectives, experience, and skills The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg cuniculum-the College's general education program, which structures your liberal arts studies through challenging and thought-provoking courses requiring students to consider important issues and examine values questions. These Liberal Arts Perspectives include Western Heritage, Intercultural Awareness, Human Identity the Social World, Christian Faith, The City, Aesthetics, and the Natural World. At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve you for a lifetime-writing, speaking, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a few. Thanks to Augsburg's prime location in the heart of a thriving metropolitan area, many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense, the resources of the Twin Cities are an extended campus for Augsburg students. Selection from over 50 majors Augsburg offers more than 50 majorsor you can create your own major either on campus or through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See page 55 for a complete list of majors and minors.) This five-college consortium allows students to take courses on other campuses without charge while a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC includes Augsburg College, College of St. Catherine, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas. Through the Weekend College Program, 14 majors are offered. MISSION STATEMENT Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, "Education for Service," and to the mission of the College: To nurture future leaders in service to the world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community A College of the Church Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879. - About Augsburg 1 Early Leaders Establish a Direction The Focus Changed August Weenaas was Augsburg's first president (1869-1876). This attitude began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup,Jr. became president. He worked to develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She spent the next 42 years at the College as a teacher and administrator. Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway-Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students for theological study. In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students; and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is also practical. Augsburg's next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to church and community has been Augsburg's theme for over 125 years. Education for Service Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist" college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second president (1876-1907), required students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education for Service." In the 18905, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary. The College's mission assumed a double character-ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life. After World War 11, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College was a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention. Accreditation for the College Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modem college program based on general education requirements and elective majors. With curriculum change came a long effort to become accredited. The College reached accreditation in 1954, although many alumni had entered graduate schools and teaching positions long before that time. A study in 1962 defined the College's mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. - 2 About Augsburg A College in the City President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on involvement with the city. He wanted to reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all people. During his years of leadership the College became a vital and integral part of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall, Urness Hall, the Christensen Center, Ice Arena, and Murphy Place. Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed: Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg's commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs, and a cuniculum that draws on the resources of the city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events, increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication; the Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell Family Library. The city-with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity-is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg students. Dr. William \! Frame became president in August 1997. He has initiated a strategic planning process intended to idennfy the distinguishing marks of the Augsburg education-in both pedagogy and substance-and a restructuring effort intended to improve operating efficiencies and open access for the College to new sources of capital. Augsburg also offers graduate and undergraduate level nursing courses as well as supporting degree courses through its Rochester Program based in Rochester, Minnesota. In 1999, a new apartment-style student residence opened. Major renovation of Sverdrup Hall created space for the Enrollment and Financial Services Center, the Women's Resource Center, and the Honors Program Suite; a skyway link to Lindell Library was constructed. An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church; Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative, and successful citizens; Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution set in the heart of a great memopolitan center. There are now almost 16,000 Augsburg alumni. In a world that has changed much since those first days of the College, Augsburg still sends out graduates who make a difference where they live and work. In addition to undergraduate liberal arts and sciences Augsburg offers master's degree programs in social work, leadership, nursing, and physician assistant training (after May 2001). WEEKEND COLLEGE Augsburg's Weekend College program provides an educational alternative to adults who desire college experience but who work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts. - About Augsburg 1 Weekend College began in 1982 with 69 students taking courses in three majors. Eight courses were offered in the first term. Today with more than 1,000 students enrolled each term and 14 majors, Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest program of its kind in the state. Faculty in Weekend College are full-time Augsburg professors as well as adjunct professionals. The Weekend College student body is involved in student government, and students participate in academic and extracurricular activities such as the student newspaper, travel seminar, and student organizations. A Community of Learners Augsburg Weekend College continues to develop to meet the needs of the adult and nontraditional student. The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. They are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching and learning techniques and theories. The Adult as Learner Augsburg Weekend College is based on the assumption that students who enroll in the program will be mature, self-disciplined and motivated learners who seek a combination of classroom experience and individual study. Each course is divided into periods of concentrated on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation. Alternate Weekends To accommodate this learning format, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three and one-half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon. Laboratory sections or additional class hours may be scheduled during the week. Weekend College students may take from one to four courses each term. Selected courses are also available on weekday evenings and are open to both day and Weekend College students. The academic year for Weekend College is divided into three trimesters. Essential to the goals of Augsburg's Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages Weekend College students to make use of College facilities such as Lindell Library and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Weekend College Faculty Augsburg's size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.

Whether students are residents or commuters, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to their education. As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth is evident in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their own faith. Because our campus is comprised of individuals from many different religious and cultural backgrounds, our worship life is characterized by a similar diversity and richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth groups, outreach teams and community outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are examples of the wide variety of activities on campus. This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays, Trinity Lutheran worship services are held on campus, with many other churches within walking distance. We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to use and discover the gifts and sense of call and vocation that God has given them. As a college of the church, we encourage students to form values guided by our Christian heritage, which will be the basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond their years at Augsburg. The college pastor, associate college pastor, and campus ministry staff have offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or information. Through Student Government, students secure a closer relationship with and better understanding of the administration and faculty and provide input into the decision-making process at Augsburg. Student Government also sponsors and directs student organizations, protects student rights, and provides the means for discussions and action on all issues pertaining to student life at Augsburg. Student Government is organized into the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. Elections are held in the spring for the next year. Freshmen elect their representatives in the fall of their first year. Many kinds of involvement are possible-program planning, writing, editing, or service opportunities. If you want to get involved, contact the president or vice president of the student body in their offices in the lower level of the Christensen Center. The Student Activities Program creates opportunities for students to enhance their leadership skills through active involvement in developing events, activities, and organizations that serve the student community Hundreds of major programming efforts and targeted activities for specific student interests are generated through these efforts and make Augsburg a dynamic and enjoyable interactive environment. SOCIAL, CULTURAL, RECREATIONAL Throughout the year, a variety of social and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These activities include dances, films, theme events, name entertainment, and visiting personalities in various fields. The Christensen Center is the focus of leisure-time activity on campus. Cooper's Attic (the gameroom and student lounge) is a popular hangout located in the lower level. Many of the clubs that unite classroom and non-classroom related interests meet here. Student offices in this area include the College newspaper, the Echo; the yearbook, The Augsburgian; Student Government; and the Augsburg Student Activities Council. KCMR, a student-operated nonprofit radio station serving the needs of Augsburg and the surrounding Cedar-Riverside community, is located in Urness Tower. FINE ARTS Students have many opportunities to participate in music and drama. In addition to appearing on campus and in the city, the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and Orchestra perform on national and international tours. Many other ensembles are available to cover the entire range of musical styles and previous musical experience. Students stage several plays on campus each year under the direction of the Theatre Arts Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of on-campus workshops with visiting arts professionals. H INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS Augsburg is affiliated with the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MLAC) and is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division 111. Men annually compete in football, soccer, cross country, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling, baseball, track and field, and golf. Women annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, softball, track and field, and golf. During 1999-2000, Augsburg men's and women's athletics marked the 75th anniversary of intercollegiate competition. Every student is urged to participate in some activity for recreation and relaxation. An intramural program provides competition in a variety of team sports as well as individual performance activities. Broomball has been an especially popular coed sport. Check schedules for times when there is open use of the gymnasium and ice arena. SPORTS AND RECREATION At Augsburg, sports are for the average student as well as the intercollegiate athlete. The campus offers on a spaceavailable basis a double-rink ice arena, gymnasium, tennis courts, a fitness center with workout machines and weight room, and an air supported dome over the athletic field for winter fitness use by walkers and runners.

Required courses in Christian Faith are designed to acquaint students with the Christian tradition and encourage them to reflect upon the importance and meaning of spirituality in their lives. Recreation courses offer students opportunities to develop skills for participation in exercise and sporting activities. Students choose from over 50 major areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a career or further study. Thus, through a balance of curricular activities supported by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg College education strives to educate its students in a real world for the real world. DECREES OFFERED Augsburg offers the bachelor of arts, the bachelor of music, and the bachelor of science degrees. Augsburg also offers the master of arts in leadership, master of arts in nursing, the master of science in physician assistant studies, and the master of social work degrees. ters of approximately 14 weeks, separated by a four-week January Interim. Full-time students normally take four course credits each semester and one course during Interim. Day school freshmen are required to take an Interim course their first year. The day program calendar is coordinated with those of the four other colleges of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities, so students can take a course on another campus during the regular term. (See Registration on page 66 and Calendars on pages 4-7.) January Interim is particularly intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ different styles of teaching and learning, and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. The Interim catalog, published in the fall of each year, is distributed to all students and is available by contacting the Interim Office. In addition to classes offered on campus, Augsburg offers a variety of travel opportunities within the United States and abroad. Weekend College classes meet on alternate weekends and the program follows a trimester calendar. The fall trimester is held from early September through midDecember. Winter trimester meets from January through early April. Spring classes are held from mid-April through the end of June. There are 7-8 class sessions each trimester, and classes meet on weekends for three and one-half to four hours. Students may take from one to four classes each term. H ACADEMIC CALENDAR Courses and majors offered through Weekend College are the same as their day program counterparts. However, the curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts courses and majors. The Augsburg day program follows the 4-1-4 calendar, with fall and spring semes- ~ u ~ s b offers u r ~two summer school sessions. A maximum of three course credits - Academic lnformation 5: can be earned in the two summer sessions each year, one of four weeks and one of six weeks. The Summer Session Catalog, published in the winter of each year, is distributed to all students, and is available by contacting the Office of Summer School. Augsburg graduate programs follow a trimester calendar (see Graduate Programs on page 65.) FACULTY The heart of any educational institution is its faculty. Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but see these activities as supporting their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that introduces them to current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching techniques and theories. Augsburg's size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. Every freshman is assigned an Augsburg Seminar adviser and, later, chooses a major adviser. In this close interaction, faculty act as both mentors and models for students. LIBRARY AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES The James G. Lindell Family Library opened at the start of the 1997-98 academic year. The four-level, 73,000-square-foot facility houses all library and information technology functions of the College. In addition to the 175,000 volume main collection, the Lindell Library includes the Gage Family Art Gallery, special collections and archives, a curriculum library and instructional technology lab, library instruction classroom, and facilities for media viewing and listening. A bridge links the new building to Sverdrup Hall (the former library), which has undergone renovation to house the Enrollment and Financial Services Center, as well as additional computer labs and multimedia classrooms, a lounge and vending area. Library Resources A service-oriented staff provides students and faculty alike with assistance to meet diverse information needs including instruction in the use of the library, reference service, and guidance in pursuing research. Arrangements are made for access by students with physical limitation and special needs. Students can search a wide variety of local, regional, national, and international databases. Electronic access to the world of scholarship is also available through the Internet, and a computerized on-line catalog and daily courier service provide access to the library holdings of the seven private liberal arts colleges in the Twin Cities. Appropriately equipped laptop computers can be connected to any of several hundred data ports throughout the building to access these resources. lnformation Technology Resources Augsburg College has built a reputation as a leader in its commitment to provide students with the best access to information technology and training.

Facilities for classes in broadcasting are located near the communications department in Foss Center. Telecommunications A campus-wide telecommunications system enables easy and convenient voice communication between students, faculty, and staff. Students can leave voice mail messages with any member of the faculty, administration or the staff; voice mail or call waiting are available to resident students at a modest cost. Long-distance service, billed to individual students, can be arranged for any on-campus residence phone. ACADEMIC ADVISING CENTER (AAC) The Academic Advising Center advises all incoming students with undeclared majors, provides information on matters of general education, administers and tracks all entry level skills assessments, interprets catalog and graduation skills requirements, and advises students who have been placed on academic probation and re-entering suspended students regarding GPA requirements. The AAC also provides materials for organizing and recording student academic progress. The center also coordinates assessments and advising for the summer orientation program, and provides in-service training and development for faculty advisers. AUGSBURG SEMINAR (AUG 101) The Augsburg Seminar is a first-year success course. It reflects the College's commitment to a meaningful introduction to college for our students-an enriching beginning for a college career. To provide focus for this introduction, the Augsburg Seminar is linked to one or more content courses to form a cohort of learners. Course content is reflected in and expanded upon in readings, discussions, and other seminar activities. Diversity, tradition, change, ways of knowing, and what it means to be an educated person are common themes. (Also see page 94.) - Academic Information 5: e day program if they wish. They may ~ l t as e many courses as possible through DIVISIONS AND DEPARTMENTS The College cumculum is offered by 23 departments that are grouped into four divisions for administrative and instructional purposes.

MAJORS AND MINORS Majors, or concentrations of study, may be within one department, within one division, or may cross academic disciplines. Some students decide on a major or majors before they enter college. Others explore a variety of disciplines before deciding. Normally a major should be elected by the end of the fourth semester and earlier in some disciplines. Details of majors and minors are in the course description section. Unless otherwise indicated, majors are part of the bachelor of arts degree. Students may contact the registrar about creating a student-designed major. 1 Majors shaded in blue are offered through both the day program and Weekend College. Weekend College students may choose a major offered only in Weekend College, then finish the major a a day program student. A change of program is allowed once each academic year. Transdisciplinary Majors Students wishing to develop their own major by combining appropriate portions of two majors may consider the transdisciplinary major. This major enables students to respond to a particular career interest. While such an individually developed major may satisfy the particular interest of a student, broad majors may not be suitable for those wishing to pursue graduate study or pre-professional programs in some academic fields. Students wishing to develop a transdisciplinary major are to observe the following: A. The major program should include at least two-thirds of the courses required in the normal major programs of two major fields offered at the College. B. The student should design and sign a contract for such a major prior to the end of his or her sophomore year. Contract forms are available in the registrar's office. C. The contract must be approved by the student's adviser, the department chairs of the two majors to be combined, and the Committee on Student Standing. AccountiG - . --..-. .

(See Department of Education and subject area departments for more information) - 58 Academic Information Students seeking elementary licensure have advisers in the education department. Students seeking 5-12 and K-12 licensure have advisers in their subject area major and in the education department. It is very important that students work closely with their advisers throughout their programs. Pre-Professional Programs Students who plan to enter the fields of law, medicine, dentistry, ministry, veterinary science, pharmacy, or engineering can profit from a liberal arts education at Augsburg. It is recommended that requirements for admission to graduate schools or seminaries be reviewed and the course of study at Augsburg planned accordingly. A faculty adviser is available in each field to assist students in their planning. Students who want to plan a pre-professional program should contact the Academic Advising Center early in their freshman year to arrange for help from the appropriate faculty adviser. Pre-Dentistry-These courses are recommended to fulfill the minimum requirements of the School of Dentistry at the University of Minnesota: ENG, two courses; BIO 113,114,215; PHY 121,122; CHM 115, 116 (or 105, 106), 351, 352; MAT 124; PSY 105.

Other non-science courses are also required. HONORS PROGRAM The Honors Program is designed to challenge and encourage the most academically distinguished students at Augsburg. The program combines academic and cultural components with social activities. Members of the program normally enter as freshmen, but students may enter the program as late as the beginning of the junior year. Students graduate from the Honors Program upon successful completion of the program, which is noted on the transcript. That notation provides an advantage for both employment and graduate school application. The Honors Program at Augsburg was awarded a National Science Foundation Grant from 1995-1997 to establish an Honors Computing and Communications Lab, and to put the program on a computational footing. Students entering the program as freshmen are required to take an honors version of CSC 160 Introduction to Computer Science and Communications, which establishes crisp computing and communications skills at the outset of their collegiate careers. Other courses in the program make use of these computing skills in lab-oriented sequences exploring literature, writing, history, religion, philosophy, and social and natural science. During the junior and senior years, stu- dents take four mini-seminars (one full course credit upon completion), one each semester, and participate in a six-week Monday Forum Program each term. Seniors take a senior seminar during Interim, which satisfies a perspective requirement, and are obliged to complete an approved honors project. Some seniors satisfy this requirement by serving on the Augsburg Honors Review, a yearly journal that publishes outstanding student papers. Requirements center on full participation in the program and the maintenance of at least a 3.3 GPA the freshman year, a 3.4 the sophomore year, and a 3.5 the last two years. Please direct inquiries to Dr. Joan Griffin, director of the Honors Program, (612) 330-1045. INTER-INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities area on several programs. Library and Media CenterThrough CLIC, the Twin Cities private colleges library consortium, the Augsburg community has direct access to over 1,300,000 volumes. Associated Colleges of t h e Twin Cities (ACTC)-Full-time day students at Augsburg and the St. Paul colleges and universities of Hamline, Macalester, St. Catherine, and St. Thomas may elect a course each semester at one of the other campuses. No additional fee is required for such an exchange, except for private instruction in music or approved independent studies. Students may elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain new perspectives, to get better acquainted with the other schools, or to undertake a specific course or major not offered on the home campus. The colleges have coordi- - 60 Academic Information nated calendars. The Interim term may also be taken on another campus. A regularly scheduled bus shuttles students between the campuses. Augsburg College also cooperates with other colleges in planning study opportunities for the January Interim. Weekend College students may not participate in the ACTC consortium program. Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA)-Augsburg, in cooperation with 17 other colleges and universities, offers off-campus study semesters in Scandinavia, South and Central America, and the Twin Cities. (See HECUA programs on page 62.) Air Force ROTC-Augsburg day students may participate in the Air Force ROTC program at the University of St. Thomas under the ACTC consortium agreement. Students are eligible to compete for two- and three-year AFROTC scholarships. For more information, contact the registrar's office.

Additional military science credits beyond the one credit allowed will be classified as non-degree credits. OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDY ABROAD An increasing number of Augsburg students are taking advantage of the opportunity to gain academic credit for an overseas experience. Through study abroad students may meet with grassroots women's organizations in Mexico, work in a small business or artisan program in Kenya, examine Scandinavian perspectives on world peace in Norway, or thrill to the sounds of The Magic Flute at the Viennese state opera house. Study abroad provides opportunities to develop critical thinking skills, strengthen language competencies, further career paths, experience different cultures, and gain knowledge about the increasingly interdependent world. Academic Requirements a n d Credit Study abroad is an integral part of several majors at Augsburg, but will add an international dimension to any academic program. Students normally receive the same number of course credits abroad as if studying on campus. Courses abroad can fulfill major, general education, and graduation requirements when approved by academic advisers and department chairs before departure. Students receive advice on selecting programs that best fit their academic, career, and personal objectives. Assistance is provided with application, course registration, financing, and travel arrangements. Orientation and re-entry programs assist students in integrating the experience abroad into their coursework and personal lives. - Academic Information 61 Eligibility and Application All students in good academic standing (a minimum GPA of 2.5) at Augsburg may apply for permission to study off campus. Although foreign language skills are an asset, they are not required.

THE CENTER FOR SERVICE, WORK, AND LEARNING The Center for Service, Work, and Learning is a comprehensive center incorporating an experiential educational focus emphasizing the importance and value for all students to engage in service and workbased learning experiences. The center helps students take advantage of Augsburg's metropolitan location through the highly successful experiential programs that link the College's academic programs to Twin Cities employers and organizations. Through internships, cooperative education, and community servicelearning, Augsburg students enrich and expand their liberal arts education by embracing the worlds of work and service and integrating this learning with their education, career, and vocation plan. Experiential education opportunities are closely related to a student's major, coursework, or career interest. Placement opportunities may be in small and midsize companies, large corporations, nonprofit organizations, schools, government agencies, and community-based organizations. The underlying assumption is that a liberal arts education is an effective preparation for careers and citizenship. The integration of "knowing and doing" adds breadth and depth to the liberal arts curriculum and assists students in making more informed academic, personal, and career decisions. The Center for Service, Work and Learning includes the following programs: Academic Internships An academic internship is a carefully planned, service or work-based learning experience where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning 64 Academic Information objectives. Academic credit is received for the learning derived from the experience. A learning agreement plan, negotiated with a faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlines the internship objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods. An academic internship is approved, supervised, and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the student wishes to earn the internship credit. Upper division internships are numbered 399 and lower division internships are numbered 199 (see page 87). Internships are available in all majors and can be taken during a semester (or Weekend College trimester), Interim, or summer session. Interdisciplinary internships are also available. For extension of an internship beyond one term see Evaluation and Grading on page 77. A maximum of four courses of internship may count toward the total courses required for the degree. Cooperative Education Cooperative education is a college-supported, paid, work-learning experience that is closely related to a student's major or career objective. The goal is to combine theory with practice in work or servicebased settings. Students also earn money to help defray educational costs while gaining important on-the-job experience. Job opportunities typically are part-time during the academic year andlor full-time in the summer. Co-op jobs are flexible and can begin and end anytime. Co-op ed is not accredited in and of itself, but a non-credit cooperative education transcript notation is highly recommended during the academic terms the student is employed. Co-op ed students are encouraged to register for at least one internship for credit in conjunction with their cooperative education participation. Co-op ed is available to Augsburg students who have completed their freshman year and are in good academic standing. Community Service-Learning Augsburg's Community ServiceLearning Program provides students with opportunities to understand and respond to needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences. A key component of community service-learning includes reflection on and analysis of community issues in order to promote personal and educational growth and civic responsibility. Augsburg students learn from the community in which they live by participating in service activities combined with learning components such as orientation sessions, seminars, and class discussions. This dynamic and interactive educational approach employs reciprocal learning between the students and the community. Community service examples include tutoring at schools and community centers, volunteering at homeless shelters, building housing for low-income people, or working with environmental groups. Service-learning experiences can also include service-based internships, and a wide range of extracurricular volunteer options. The service-learning program also works closely with the student-directed Augsburg LINK, residence hall directors, and campus ministry. Career Services Career Service is committed to assisting all students with their career planning. - Academic Information 65 This process is an important part of a student's development while attending college. To aid students in this process, Career Services offers students the opportunity to actively participate in career seminars, career assessments, one-on-one counseling, self-paced computer career planning modules, and use of the Alumni Resource Network for informational interviews. Services are available to all students, but some programs are sponsored especially for seniors. Seniors are encouraged to attend the annual private college job fair with recruiters representing business and the nonprofit and government sectors, or the education job fair. ROCHESTER PROGRAM Augsburg offers courses leading to a B.S. in nursing and the Master of Arts in Nursing in Rochester, Minnesota. Courses meet weekday evenings, but otherwise follow the Weekend College format. Introductory courses in other majors are also offered. The Rochester Program began in the fall of 1998 under the leadership of Dr. Rick Thoni, who founded Augsburg's Weekend College program. Students in the Rochester Program are required to have Internet and e-mail access, and make extensive use of electronic communication to support their course work. GRADUATE PROGRAMS Augsburg College offers four graduate degree programs: the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL), the Master of Social Work (MSW), Master of Arts in Nursing, and the Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies. Catalogs for each degree program should be consulted for complete information. The Master of Arts in Leadership is based on the subject matter and approaches of the traditional liberal arts. This crossdisciplinary program directs its academic content and pedagogical approaches at situations, issues, and problems relevant to organizational leaders. Augsburg's program recognizes that today's leaders need a broad spectrum of abilities to provide them with a more comprehensive understanding of their world. Designed for working adults, the program operates on alternate Saturdays and alternate Thursday evenings. The Master of Social Work (MSW) prepares students for entering advanced social work practice. The program builds on the liberal arts base of the College and supports the College's mission to nurture future leaders in service to the world. There are two concentrations: family practice or program development, policy, and administration. Students choose one of the two concentrations for their program focus. The curriculum emphasizes work with diverse and oppressed groups, social justice, leadership for social change and a holistic, strengths-based, problem-solving framework. Graduate social work classes meet in four-hour blocks on Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, and Saturday afternoons. 66 Academic Information The program development, policy, and administration concentration has been developed in response to the growing demand for creative leadership and administration of policies and services that respond to human need. The Master of Arts in Nursing offers a program designed to prepare Advanced Practice Nurses for population-focused practice in culturally diverse communities. The curriculum is grounded in nursing science, public health principles, theory-guided practice, and transcultural care. Graduate nursing classes meet on an every other week or one weekend a month basis in Rochester and Minneapolis. Canadian Program The Canadian program was inaugurated in 1985 with endowment from the Mildred Joel bequest for Canadian studies. The program supports special events and conferences as well as student internships and faculty activity in Canadian studies. The goals of the program include community involvement, increased awareness of the inlnortance of Canadian/U.S. relations, and provision of opportunities to learn directly from Canadians through visits and exchanges. For more information contact Milda K. Hedblom, Canadian program coordinator. College of the Third Age OTHER PROGRAMS Continuing Education Program The mission of the Augsburg College continuing education program is to provide working adults with lifelong learning opportunities that will enable them to continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually in their homes, workplaces, and communities. The program strives to meet the needs of the community by offering credit and non-credit programs consistent with the mission and values of the College. Adult students who wish to earn traditional course credit should contact the Weekend College Office. The Office of Continuing Education is currently developing a series of non-credit programs to offer through the Center for Professional Development. These seminars will focus primarily on leadership, management, communications, and information technology for businesses and nonprofit organizations. Call the office for information on current course offerings. Augsburg demonstrates its commitment to lifelong learning through its College of the Third Age Program. For more information, contact the Office of Continuing Education. REGISTRATION A student must be registered for a course to receive credit for it. Full-time day students normally register for four course credits per semester and one course during Interim. Students registered for three or more course credits in a semester are classified as full-time students. To register for more than 4.5 course credits, students must contact the registrar's office to petition the Committee on Student Standing for permission. Weekend College students typically register for one or two course credits each trimester. Students registered for at least two course credits in one term are considered full time for that term. - Academic Information 67 Although a day student may register up to five days after the semester begins, registration is encouraged at the regularly scheduled time. Weekend College students must register no later than the Monday following the first class weekend of the term. Special fees are charged for late registration. Special fees are also charged for cancelling or adding courses or changing the grading option after the first five days of a semester. Crossover Registration Policy A joint class schedule is published each spring by the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities, listing courses and their locations at the five colleges for the following academic year. As some courses are offered only in alternate years, students should also consult with departmental advisers when planning their academic program. It is expected that students will complete most of their degree requirements through their "home" program; either day or Weekend College. However, students may register for one course per term in the opposite program if space allows. Consult the Enrollment and Financial Service Center for information on designated times and procedures for crossover registration. Students taking courses in both the dav and Weekend College programs that total three course credits or more on any given date will be charged comprehensive day program tuition. A Weekend College student taking one day schedule course and who has fewer than three total course credits will be charged the current part time tuition for day school. Interim, summer school, Weekend College, and graduate program courses are published in separate schedules. Weekend College students may not cross over to attend ACTC (Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities) courses. Specific information on registration and help with registration on other campuses are available from these offices: Courses offered on weekday evenings that are published in both the Weekend College schedule and day program schedule are open to both groups of students and are not subject to the crossover policy. u Enrollment and Financial Services Center-(612) 330-1046 Interim Office-(612) 330-1150 Office of Summer School-(612) 330-1000 Office of Weekend College-(612) 330-1743 MAL Graduate Program Office(612) 330-1786 MSW Graduate Program Office(612) 330-1763 MA Nursing Graduate Program Office-(612) 330-1204 Physician Assistant Program(612) 330-1039 Pre-Registration Freshmen and transfer students may pre-register during summer for courses in the fall.

Students who do not confirm their registration by the first day of classes (unless special arrangements have been made) will have their registration cancelled. They may register and confirm during the drop/add period, but special late fees are assessed and added to their account. Withdrawal from College Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this may result in a failing grade on their official academic record. Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from the College must be completed in the registrar's office. A Leave of AbsenceNithdrawal from the College form may be obtained in the Academic Advising Center or in the registrar's office. Withdrawal from College cannot occur during final examination week unless a petition is approved by the Committee on Student Standing. Withdrawal from College and any consequential adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the Withdrawal from College form is returned to the registrar's office. Leave of Absence Students may request a leave of absence for academic or personal reasons. A Leave of AbsenceNithdrawal from the College form must be picked up in the Academic Advising Center or the registrar's office. It must be signed by advising center staff or an authorized representative. The completed form must be submitted to the registrar's office. A leave of absence may be granted for one term or one academic year. If an extension is needed, an updated leave of absence form must be submitted to the registrar's office prior to the expiration of the previous leave of absence period, or an application for re-admission will be required. Students are responsible for keeping the registrar's office informed of their mailing addresses. All deadlines for financial aid and housing must be observed by the returning student. A leave of absence does not defer payment of loans or extend incomplete course deadlines. Former Students Former Augsburg students, re-admitted to complete a degree after being away from the College for at least one calendar year, have a choice between using the catalog in effect when they first enrolled, if possible, or using the catalog in effect at the point of re-admission. Some departments will not accept coursework taken more than a specified number of years ago. Students must meet all of the requirements in effect under the catalog they choose. Choosing to complete under the current catalog will require re-evaluation of prior coursework, including transfer credit, to determine applicability to current academic requirements. - Academic Information 71 Requirements For Undergraduate Graduation: GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS The responsibility for seeing that all degree requirements are satisfied rests with the student. Academic advisers, the Academic Advising Center staff, department chairs, and the registrar are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. Students who enter an academic program with a baccalaureate or higher degree should contact the registrar's office about specific requirements for a second baccalaureate degree or for the equivalent of a major. See page 23 in Undergraduate Admissions-Special Students (Second Degree). Each student must apply for graduation. Students should apply at the start of their last academic year to confirm remaining graduation requirements. Application forms are available in the registrar's office. All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the registrar's office prior to the anticipated date of graduation (there may be no incompletes or open courses on the academic record). Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a major, the Augsburg Seminar (AUG), a minimum GPA, residence, and general education courses, including lifetime sports. 1. Completion of 33 course credits-At least 11 course credits must be upper division, numbered in the 300s and 400s. Not more than 13 course credits may be in one department, except in certain approved majors: accounting (B.A.) 14; music education (B.M.) - 17; music performance (B.M.) - 20; music therapy (B.S.) - 17; physician assistant (B.A. until May 2001) - 19.5; and social work (B.S.) - 15. This course total must include two Interims for students who enter with fewer than 14 courses. Students transferring with 14 or more courses are not required to take the Interim 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. No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 33 total course credits required: four Interim courses; two courses by independentldirected study; four courses of internship; and eight course credits with a grade of Pass (P). Nontraditional grading (P) also has these limits: two in the major except elementary education (two in the major plus student teaching), social work (two in the major plus field work practicums) . 2. Completion of a MajorRequirements for each major are listed under the departmental headings. - 72 Academic Information 3. Augsburg Seminar (AUC 101)All students who enter the College as freshmen in the weekday schedule program must satisfactorily complete fall onentation and the Augsburg Seminar. See the program section on the Augsburg Seminar for a full description. 4. Grade Point Average-2.0 for most majors. A minimum grade point average of 2.0 is required for all courses taken and specifically for all courses that apply toward a major or special program. Some majors, licensure, arid certification require higher grades in each course or a higher grade point average. (For example, see licensure in education, music education, music performance, music therapy, nursing, and social work.) See the departmental section for details. 5. Residence-The last year of fulltime study or equivalent (no less than 7 of the last 9 credits) must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved ACTC exchange program. No less than a total of 9 credits are to be taken at Augsburg College. Contact the registrar if an official interpretation is needed. Some departments have a minimum number of courses that are required to be taken in residence within the major. Consult the catalog description of the major or the chairperson of the department H SKILLS COMPONENT Entry Level Skills Requirements The entry level skills tests are inventory assessments in: Writing Mathematics Critical thinking Placement in writing courses, math courses, and critical thinking courses is determined by the assessments. Freshmen (all students entering Augsburg with fewer than seven college credit courses) and sophomore transfer students with fewer than 14 courses: Take entry-level skills assessments and satisfy requirements. If skill levels are deficient, students will be enrolled in the appropriate course or advised on preparation for retaking the math placement assessment. Students may retake the Math Placement Assessment once during their first term of enrollment. Students are required to take the assessments before registering for the second term and to have demonstrated removal of deficiencies by the end of their first year at Augsburg. Effective Writing or its equivalent is required. Students who do not satisfy the entry level skill in writing will be required to take ENG 101 Developmental Writing before ENG 111 Effective Writing. Freshmen should complete the writing requirement before the beginning of their sophomore year. - Academic Information 7: Students who have college credit for a critical thinking or logic course are exempt from the critical thinking inventory. Freshman and sophomore transfer students will be required to satisfy all of the Graduation Skill course requirements. Advanced Transfer Students Transfer students who enter with 14 credits or more are exempt from critical thinking assessments. Those who have not passed the equivalent of ENG 111Effective Writing course must take the entry level test in writing. Augsburg's entry level test in writing will determine placement in an appropriate writing course. Advanced transfer students are required to satisfy all the Graduation Skill course requirements, except only one of the writing courses is required. Mathematics Requirement Students must achieve Math Placement Group (MPG) 3 or higher prior to graduation. In addition, many courses require MPG 2, 3, or 4 as prerequisite and so students are encouraged to advance their MPG as soon as possible. All students are required to have their MPG determined. In some cases, students who have transferred in a mathematics course taken at another college may have their MPG determined by the registrar's office. All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Exam, which is administered by the Academic Advising Center. The exam is given during college registration sessions and at other announced times during the year. Practice questions and other information are available from the Academic Advising Center. Students in MPG 1 may take MAT 103 to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 may take MAT 105 to advance to MPG 3. Students in MPG 3 may take MAT 114 to advance to MPG 4. No other MAT course changes a student's MPG. Students are also permitted to retake the Math Placement Exam during their first term of enrollment at Augsburg College. Review help is available from the Academic Enrichment Center. Graduation Level Skills General education includes enhancement of certain skills during the years in college. Skills related to writing, critical thinking, speaking, and quantitative reasoning are deliberate components of certain courses. Completion of the requisite courses with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P is required for graduation. Students are required to have two courses with Writing Skill components (at least one within the major) and one course each with Critical Thinking, Speaking, and Quantitative Reasoning Skill components. These courses can simultaneously satisfy skill requirements and graduation requirements for the major or general education perspectives. All Writing Skill courses have the prerequisite of ENG 111, all Quantitative Reasoning Skill courses have the prerequisite of Math Placement Group 3, and all Critical Thinking Skill courses have the prerequisite of passing the entry level Critical Thinking Assessment. - Academic Information '4 Lifetime Sports Two different lifetime sports are required. Students in the day program who are not health and physical education majors or in intercollegiate athletics may test out of one lifetime sport. Students may demonstrate proficiency in one of a selected list of lifetime sports. There is a fee to take the lifetime sport proficiency test. Students must satisfy the second lifetime sport requirement by enrolling in a lifetime sport course. Lifetime sports are non-credit courses, are not counted as meeting Interim course requirements, and are not included in the 33-course requirement. GENERAL EDUCATION The General Education program consists of the first year Augsburg Seminar for day freshmen, the liberal arts perspectives and the graduation skills. A primary objective is to develop lifelong learning in the context of the liberal arts and the mission of the college. The goal of the Liberal Arts Perspectives is to help students think systematically about what it means to be a human. Perspectives courses should: Extend knowledge in liberal arts, especially outside of one's major disciplinary field. This is done by 1) reflecting on the importance and meaning of spirituality in their lives and the distinctiveness of Augsburg as a college of the Lutheran Church in the city; 2) reflecting on diversity through intercultural awareness; 3) reflecting on areas associated with liberal arts, including aesthetics, human identity, the social world, natural world and westem heritage. Demonstrate connections between liberal arts and the major field of study. Develop an appreciation of the role of service to society. The General Education program should also teach students the skills expected of a college graduate in writing, critical thinking, speaking and quantitative reasoning. LIBERAL ARTS PERSPECTIVES The general education Liberal Arts Perspectives have the primary goal of providing the basis for beginning to understand what it means to be a human. The goals of the perspectives are achieved through a variety of courses that have been approved as meeting the criteria established for each perspective. Students will choose from a list of courses meeting the Liberal Arts Perspectives, available from the registrar's office. These choices are controlled by the following policies: 1. A student will choose a minimum of one course from each required perspective category. 2. No single course can fulfill the requirements in two or more categories. 3. No student will be permitted to count more than three courses from the same department in meeting perspective requirements. 4. No student may count more than one course from the same department in meeting the requirements of any single perspective emphasis area except: Up to three courses in religion may be used to meet the perspective, The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith. Up to two courses in a year-long sequence of approved natural science courses may be used to meet the perspective, The Natural World. - Academic Information 7: Up to two courses of the same mode m language may be used to meet part of the perspective, Intercultural Awareness. THE EIGHT PERSPECTIVE REQUIREMENTS Perspective: The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith This perspective focuses on Augsburg as a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. As a college of the Church, Augsburg accepts as a basis for its educational program the doctrines of the Christian faith as revealed in scripture and the creeds affirmed by the Lutheran Church. It consciously affirms that all students should reflect upon the Christian Scriptures, theological concepts, ethical values, their own faith and values, and religious concepts outside of the Christian faith as part of becoming educated. Perspective: The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The City This perspective focuses on the College's location in the heart of a metropolitan area. From this perspective, students should gain an understanding of and critically reflect upon the city with its diverse populations, cultural, govemmental and economic institutions, and opportunities and challenges. In addition, students should experience the community and should explore opportunities for service in the community. This requirement must be covered either by specific courses, by internship and education experiences, or by designated or college-approved non-credit experiences (such as volunteer service or college programs). Experiences that satisfy the requirement must be accompanied by a GST 209 seminar related to the Perspective. The City (C) Christian Faith (CF 1, 2, and 3) Area 1is biblical studies, Area 2 covers Christian theology, and Area 3 includes the study of values or religions outside the Christian faith. Three course credits are required to meet this perspective except for the following: Transfer students entering with 14-23 course credits will be required to take two courses in the Christian Faith Perspective while registered at Augsburg. Transfer students entering with 24 or more course credits will be required to take one course in the Christian Faith Perspective while registered at Augsburg. One course credit or experience is required to meet this Perspective. Perspective: Western Heritage This perspective is intended to help students critically examine themes (found, for example, in literature, philosophy, and the arts) and events that have historically shaped Western civilization. Attention should be paid to the contributions of and to critiques of Western thought by women and ethnic minorities. - '6 Academic Information Western Heritage @lH 1 and 2 ) Two course credits from different departments are required to meet this perspective. One course is required to meet this perspective for transfer students entering with 14 or more course credits. Perspective: Human Identity This Perspective is intended to help students view themselves as people with unique abilities, values, beliefs, experiences. and behaviors. Human ldentity (HI) One course credit is required to meet this perspective. Perspective: Aesthetics Aesthetic creations convey fundamental insights and values, express beauty, and enhance life. This perspective focuses on aesthetic qualities in artistic expressions by oneself and others. Aesthetics (A) One course credit is required to meet this perspective. Perspective: The Social World This perspective is intended to help students learn to identify, examine, and critique social, economic, or political systems: to understand how and why such systems develop, to see the connections among these systems, and to use this knowledge as a participant in society. Social World (SW 1 and 2 ) One course must focus on current theories and methods of a social science. Two course credits from different departments are required to meet this perspective. One course is required to meet this perspective for transfer students entering with 14 or more course credits. Perspective: Intercultural Awareness This perspective is intended to complement the Western Heritage Perspective by expanding students' awareness of other cultures. One course is required in which students critically reflect upon ways their own cultural biases operate when confronting other cultures. They should become better able to communicate with persons of other cultural backgrounds, partially by being introduced to a specific culture other than European or mainstream North American cultures. In addition, students are to gain entry into another culture by learning to speak and read a language other than their native language. For this part of the perspective, students are required to have demonstrated proficiency in a modem language, or American Sign Language for hearing students. The modem language requirement will be determined by assessing previous experience and subsequent placement. Intercultural Awareness (IA 1 ) The study of a specific, non-Western culture and how that culture has shaped the world. One course credit is required to meet this part of the Intercultural Awareness Perspective. - Academic Information 7 Intercultural Awareness (IA 2 and 3) Perspective: The Natural World Study of a modem language other than the native tongue. For a language previously studied, consult the table below for the requirement. For a language not previously studied, successful completion of 111, 112 is required. Students with previous language study should contact the modem languages department if there are questions. There is a seven-year time limit on courses presented for transfer and automatic waiver. Students whose native language is not English should contact the Academic Advising Center. This perspective is intended to help students understand themselves in relation to the physical world. Their active role as observers, explorers, and moral agents will be emphasized. Sufficient technical training in scientific knowledge, concepts, and methods will be provided to equip students for critical and intelligent participation in public debates on technical issues. H.S. Semesters Augsburg Placement Required Courses 111 & 112 Natural World (NW 1 and 2) Two course credits from different departments are required to meet this perspective unless an approved one-year sequence is taken. One course is required to meet this perspective for transfer students entering with 14 or more course credits. 111 & 112 111 & 112 112 112 or 211 211 211 or 212 212 exempt Students who are required to complete two semesters of modem language must complete the requirement with sequential courses in the same language. Hearing students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by passing an approved course sequence will have fulfilled IA 2 and IA 3 Perspectives. EVALUATION AND GRADING I t A r L A N H I I U N Ut bKALJtS Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation. Most courses are offered with grading option-traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. PassINo Credit Students who choose the P/N option are cautioned: In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a C. - 3 Academic Information P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation with distinction. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements, page 71. Certain courses have restrictions and are offered on one grading system only (e.g., lifetime sports are graded only P/N). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made according to dates published each term. A fee is charged for any changes after the first five days of classes. All changes in grading option that are made after initial registration require the signature of an adviser or the instructor. Numeric Grades Numeric grades are used with these definitions: 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards 2.5 2.0 Meets basic standards for the course Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor reserves the discretion of not giving an X where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not complete, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned. Performance below basic course standards Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) A course in which a grade of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher 0.5 0.0 An incomplete grade (I) may be given only in the case of extreme emergency. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must receive permission from the course instructor, stating the reasons for the request, the work required to complete the course, the plan and date for completing the work with comments from the instructor; and must file the form with the registrar's office. If permission is granted, the necessary work must be completed in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following semester. If the work is not completed by that date, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0. A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a notation on the record. 1.5 1.0 Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. - Academic Information 7 grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken each term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. Auditing Courses Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time day students may audit a course without charge. The charge for part-time and Weekend College students is listed under Weekend College Costs in the Financing Your Education section on page 27. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Grade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: GPA = Total grade points divided by number of courses taken." "Courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned Classification Students are classified when grades are posted at the end of each term. Sophomores-7 courses completed. Juniors-16 courses completed. Seniors-24 courses completed. International Baccalaureate Program (1 B) Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate program will be considered by the College for advanced placement and appropriate credit. Departmental guidelines are available at the registrar's office. ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that comprise the academic program of a liberal arts college. The APL program (Assessment of Previous Learning) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a baccalaureate degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum, and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. - 0 Academic Information The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: Advanced Placement Program Test (AP)-The Advanced Placement program may allow students who have scores of 3, 4, or 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement Test to receive college credit for selected courses. A score of 4 or 5 is required on the AP Language and Composition examination for credit for ENG 111 Effective Writing. Additional credit or placement is at the discretion of the department. Inquiries should be addressed to the registrar's office. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)-This is a series of standardized tests that have been developed by the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. (The regional testing center for this area is the University of Minnesota.) Students who score at or above the 65th percentile on a subject examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Additional information about CLEP tests is available from the registrar's office and the Academic Advising Center. Departmental Comprehensive Exams-These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: There is a departmental instrument available for the subject area in question. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. The registrar approves the student's request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a P/N basis only, and there is a charge per exam of $400 for a full course credit. The Portfolio Assessment Program-This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student's previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the registrar's office. In completing the evaluation of a student's previous learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria: There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed andlor systematic study of content material found within liberal arts coursework. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. The learning relates well to the student's educational goals. The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least four courses/credits of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used - Academic Information 81 when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is a non-refundable application deposit of $200 to initiate the credit assessment process for each course presented in a portfolio. An additional $200 is charged upon approval of each course. Credit is available on a P/N credit basis only. Transcript credit will be granted on the basis of semester credits, and the total number of credits granted will be divided by four to determine the number of course credits applied to graduation. These credits will be recorded with the course number of APL 2xx. Application of this credit toward the Liberal Arts Perspective requirements, upper division requirements, and academic majors and minors may be subsequently addressed by the 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 learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campusbased liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of eight courses (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the eight courses of credit for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the four assessment processes available in the APL Program: AP exams, CLEP exams, departmental comprehensive exams, and credit granted through portfolio assessment. English as a Second Language (ESL) Students who declare a language other than English to be their primary language or who are citizens of another country must take the ESL placement test in conjunction with the English writing placement test at orientation. Students' placement in ESL, ENG 101 Developmental Writing, or ENG 111 Effective Writing will be determined by their scores on the Michigan test (85-100 range for exemption from ESL) and by a writing sample. Near the end of each term of the English as a Second Language course, an objective test will be administered to all students in the class. The score on this test and the grade earned in the class will determine whether additional ESL coursework is required. Usually a score of 85 to 100 and a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will fulfill the student's ESL requirement. All students whose native language is not English must stay enrolled in ENG 217/218 until such time that they pass the ESL placement test at 85 percent or higher. The ESL course can be counted only twice in the total number of courses required for graduation. Students who fulfill the ESL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the modem language requirement for graduation. 82 Academic Information ACADEMIC PROGRESS, PROBATION, AND DISMISSAL The College requires that all students maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA). 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 overall academic achievement falls below a 2.0 GPA will either be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term or will be continued on probation or will be dismissed from the College. In addition, a freshman who receives two zero grades or a sophomore, junior, or senior who receives three zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee on Student Standing. Evidence of the student's commitment to academic progress is the major consideration in deciding whether or not to dismiss a student. Students who have a poor academic record may be strongly advised to withdraw before the end of a term. Those on probation who voluntarily withdraw from the College, as well as those who are dismissed, must have special permission to re-enroll. Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches 2.0. Students placed on probation as freshmen for having earned two zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earned additional zero grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 2.0. Students placed on probation as sophomores for having earned three zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative GPA reaches 2.0. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he or she may appeal the decision within 10 days to the Committee on Student Standing. Student class years are based on the number of courses taken: Freshman-fewer Sophomore-fewer Junior-fewer than seven courses than 16 courses than 24 courses Senior -24 or more courses Dean's List The Dean's List, compiled after each semester, lists students whose grade point average for a semester is 3.5 or better. Students must be full-time students (a minimum equivalent of three full course credits for a weekday schedule student or two equivalent full course credits for a Weekend College student), graded on the traditional grading system, with no incomplete~in courses offered for credit. Courses taken outside of a program's calendar (e.g., crossover courses taken in a Weekend College trimester term by a day student or in a semester term by a weekend student) are not calculated when determining the Dean's List. If permission is given by the student, an announcement is sent to the hometown newspaper of each student on the Dean's List. Graduation with Distinction Augsburg recognizes those students who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement as graduates of distinction. This designation replaces all previous college honors and applies to all students who complete degree requirements after Jan. 1,2000. Students achieving Graduation with Distinction will have an overall GPA of 3.5 and will have completed - Academic Information 83 an outstanding project as determined by the student's major department. Students wishing to be considered for Graduation with Distinction should consult with their major department no later than the fall semester of their junior year. Qualification for Commencement Augsburg College has one commencement ceremony per academic year in the month of May. Undergraduate students who will not have met degree requirements by the end of the spring term may qualify to participate in commencement if: (1) no more than three course creditshequirements will remain in their program at the end of the spring term, and (2) the remaining requirements will be completed in the summer or fall terms following participation in commencement. Candidates for graduation who will complete summer or fall terms will be noted as such in the commencement program. Veterans of Military Service Augsburg is approved by the state approving agency for Veterans Education. Veterans should consult with the Enrollment and Financial Services Center about completion of the enrollment certificate and the forwarding of other information to the Veterans Administration. Veterans will need to meet the requirements of the Veterans Administration regarding repayment of educational assistance funds received. FOUR-YEAR ASSURANCE PROGRAM This program applies to students who enter the day school schedule as full-time freshmen in the fall of 1996 and thereafter. New freshmen are assured that they will be able to graduate in four years--if they maintain continuous full-time enrollment for four years, maintain a 2.0 GPA, and follow the Four-Year Assurance Program guidelines-or they will receive the remaining required courses free of additional tuition. A few majors are excluded from this program. Students must complete a formal Four-Year Assurance Degree Plan with the College before the end of their sophomore year (16 course credits must be earned) in order to qualify. Contact the Academic Advising Center for details. FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT NOTICE The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg College is required to give notice of the various rights accorded to students pursuant to FERPA. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following: Right to inspect and review educahave the right to tion r e c o r d ~ Y o u review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg College. Right to request amendment of education record5-You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records according to your request. Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information -You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information contained in your education records, A, a liberal arts institution, Augsburg College believes that knowledge and truth are interrelated and are integrated into a whole. The tradition of the academic world, however, divides this unified truth into more manageable parts: the academic disciplines. The knowledge of individual disciplines is subdivided into courses that make it more accessible to students. These courses can be arranged in various ways to construct majors, to create the substance of a broad general education, and to give students the opportunity to study areas of particular individual interest. Descriptions of courses are arranged by departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus containing a more detailed explanation of content, approach, requirements, and evaluations for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor. Department entries also contain a narrative discussion of the educational philosophy of each department, its goals, and its place in the College's program. A listing of requirements for individual majors and minors follows the narrative. Class Schedule Courses listed are subject to change. In general, classes are offered fall andfor spring terms unless otherwise indicated. The Schedule of Classes published each spring by the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) lists offerings and locations for fall and spring terms. Weekend College classes are published each spring in a separate booklet and online. Since some courses are offered alternate years, it is important that the student review major requirements and course offerings with an adviser to ensure that all requirements can be met. Descriptions and schedules for Interim, Summer Session, the Master of Arts in Leadership, the Master of Social Work, the Master of Arts in Nursing, and the Master of Arts in Physician Assistant studies courses are published in separate catalogs. Credits A full course is offered for one course credit. A few fractional courses, for onehalf or one-quarter course credit, are offered in the Division of Professional Studies. Unless noted, all courses are one course credit. A full course has the approximate value of four semester credits or six quarter hours. Most courses meet for three 60-minute periods or two 90-minute periods per week with additional time required for laboratory work. Numbering Courses numbered below 300 are lower division courses. Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as upper division. In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for freshmen, 200s for sophomores, 300s for juniors, and 400s for seniors. Prerequisites Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are listed in the course description as prerequisites. A student may enroll in a course when a prerequisite has not been fulfilled if there is prior approval by the professor teaching the course. - Departments and Programs 87 NOTE: Not all courses are offered in all schedules. Refer to the current ACTC Joint Class Schedule or the Weekend College class schedule for information on when specific courses are offered. Every department offers opportunities for internships and independent study. The course description and process for registering is normally the same for each department. Some departments have additional statements that can be found in the departmental course listing. Interdisciplinary internships are also available. INTERNSHIPS Registration for internships consists of the following steps: Service, Work, and Learning and secure the signatures of the faculty supervisor and director of internships and cooperative education. 2. Register for a 199 or 399 Internship during the registration period. The signed permission form must be turned in at the time of registration. (Students may pre-register without a placement secured, but a suitable internship must be found by the end of the registration or drop/add period.) 3. A learning agreement (forms are available in the Center for Service, Work, and Learning) must be completed with the faculty member responsible for grading the experience and the work supervisor. The original is turned in to the Center for Service, Work, and Learning, with copies made for the faculty supervisor and student. 1. Obtain the internship registration permission form from the Center for 199 lnternship A work or service-based learning experience typically at the sophomore level in which a student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. Participation in a concurrent seminar may be expected. Prior to the beginning of the tedregistration, interested students must consult with the departmental internship coordinator and the Center for Service, Work, and Learning regarding requirements and permission to register. 399 Internship A work or service-based learning experience at the junior/senior level in which a student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. Participation in a concurrent seminar is often expected. Prior to the beginning of the tedregistration, interested students must consult with the departmental internship coordinator and the Center for Service, Work, and Learning regarding requirements and permission to register. - 38 Departments and Programs DIRECTED AND INDEPENDENT STUDIES 299 Directed Study An opportunity to study topics not covered in the scheduled offerings under the direction of an instructor. Open to all students, but normally taken by sophomores and juniors. Approval must be secured in writing from the instructor and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is undertaken. 499 Independent StudyIResearch An opportuniy for advanced and specialized research projects. Normally open to junior and senior majors. Approval must be secured in writing from the instructor and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is undertaken. See listing under Business Administration, Accounting, and Management Information Systems. See listing under Interdisciplinary Studies. A rt is important as a field of study for our time. Our survival as a culture may very well depend on whether we are able to create order and beauty in the design and function of communities. Realizing this, we have made design and sensitivity to all aspects of visual experience central to the art program at Augsburg. Giving and receiving visual messages is so much a part of everyday life that it is often taken for granted. At the same time, however, the interchange of visual ideas is frequently misunderstood. The task of the artist, art teacher, and art historian is to celebrate visual experience through a variety of media and art examples. In short, the visual arts teach us how to see. Because of the College's commitment to the liberal arts, the visual arts, as taught at Augsburg, draw ideas and inspiration from all disciplines. Art as a human activity does involve manual skill, although to become broadly significant it should interact with the content available in other fields, such as language, history, drama, music, literature, philosophy, theology, business, physical education, and science. A liberal arts college like Augsburg is an ideal setting for the study of art because it provides a constant possibility for the interaction of ideas, disciplines, and attitudes. At Augsburg, art study is further enhanced by associations with a significant number of art galleries and museums in the Twin Cities area. Art Faculty Kristin Anderson (Chair), Tara Christopherson, Norman Holen.

The initial months after entering college as a first-year student are an exciting period of change. The faculty and staff wish to assist students in making a successful transition to being college students and to help them become part of this academic community Through the summer orientation program, the fall orientation weekend, and the Augsburg Seminar, students are introduced to the character of the College, its heritage as an urban, liberal arts college of the Church, the process of learning in a community where ideas are valued and treated seriously, and the logistics of being students. Augsburg Seminar At registration, all first-year students in the day program enroll in a selected content course, such as Effective Writing and a parallel Augsburg Seminar. These 'linked' courses integrate disciplinary content with AUC 101 various learning strategies and communitybuilding opportunities beneficial to all beginning students. The content course usually meets three hours per week for the entire semester and is valued at 1.0 course credit, and the Augsburg Seminar meets once a week for 8 weeks for .25 course credit. The Augsburg Seminar offers the opportunity for further discussion of topics from the paired content course, along with presentations on campus life, academic resources and study skills, and a hands-on introduction to the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. While the content course is graded on a traditional point basis, the Augsburg Seminar is graded Pass/No credit (P/N). However, performance in the course is linked to performance in the seminar. Students must successfully complete the entire 8-week Augsburg Seminar in order to fulfill the requirement, even if they drop the linked content course. Permission to complete the seminar after withdrawal from the content course is at the discretion of the instructor. Augsburg Seminar (.25 course) A series of fall-term meetings with an Augsburg seminar adviser to discuss issues related to becoming an active member of the Augsburg College community of learners. Discussion will be based upon topics and readings from the connected content course and other disciplines and sources. (P/N grading only) Biology Faculty )logy is the study of life, and it is natural that we, as contemplative living creatures, seek a deeper understanding of the living world that envelops us. This search has led to the realization that the Earth is filled with an enormous variety of living organisms. Since humans are a part of the biological world, an understanding of the basic biological processes common to all organisms is essential to attain selfunderstanding and to provide a basis for wise decisions. Dale Pederson (Chair), Karen Ballen, William Capman, Robert Herforth, Esther McLaughlin Major Nine courses including: B10 113 Introductory Organismal Biology B10 114 Introductory Genetics, Evolution, and Ecology B10 215 Introductory Cellular Biology In recent decades great strides have been made in understanding important biological processes, particularly those at the cellular, molecular, and ecosystem levels. Biological research has also provided some extremely important benefits to humans, including advances in medicine, agriculture, and food science. and at least one from each of the five following groups: An understanding of biological systems depends, in part, on the principles of physics and chemistry; thus a firm background in the physical sciences is also important in the study of biology. 2. BIO 361 Plant Biology BIO 440 Plant Physiology For many, an undergraduate major in biology serves as a basis for further study. Augsburg graduates have gone on to graduate studies in the life sciences, leading to careers in college or university teaching, basic and applied research, and public health. Many have entered professional programs in medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. Other graduates have gone directly into secondary education, biomedical industries, laboratory research, natural resources, and environmental education. 1.

Many medical schools also require two semesters of calculus. Students should consult members of the biology faculty for information specific to medical school application. Graduate and Professional Training Graduate programs in biological fields require coursework similar to that for premedical education, and may also require undergraduate research experience. Health care professions (physician assistant, physical therapist, veterinarian, etc.) have specific requirements that should be discussed with an adviser in the department. Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements.

Majors The Department of Business Administration, Accounting, and MIS offers three majors: business administration (BUS), accounting (ACC), and management information systems (MIS). Specializations Within the business administration major there are four specializations: marketing, management, finance, and international business. Within the accounting major there are three specializations: general accounting, public accounting, and managerial accounting. Graduation Requirements To graduate without intentionally taking courses in excess of the minimal number required (see page 71), students must avoid taking too many electives or exceeding the 13-course limit per academic department (14 courses for accounting majors). Courses designated as ACC, BUS, and MIS are considered as being in the same academic department. Taking extra electives, or choosing a particular combination of major and minor may require students to complete more than the minimum number of credits required for graduation. Exceptions are noted in the major. Transfer Students Transfer students must complete at least four of the upper division courses required in the major at Augsburg or obtain an exemption from the department. Transfer courses must be approved by the department. Courses taken more than 10 years ago will not be accepted. Advising Students who plan to major in business administration, accounting, or MIS are strongly encouraged to select a departmental adviser who teaches in their major. This should be done by the end of the sophomore year at the latest. In addition to - Business Administration 10' advising, departmental faculty can counsel majors on their careers, assist majors in obtaining internships or jobs, and provide letters of recommendation for prospective employers or graduate programs. with experience that may be valuable in competing for jobs after graduation. Advisers should be consulted about internships. International Business Internships Students are strongly encouraged to work with the Office of Cooperative Education and department faculty to obtain an internship (BUS/ACUMIS 399) during their junior or senior year. Although an internship counts as part of the 13 courses allowed in the major, students may petition for an exception. An internship may satisfy the The City Perspective if taken in conjunction with GST 209. Internships can provide students T he major in business administration prepares students for professional careers in business administration or for graduate studies.

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

A major in East Asian studies is offered through Augsburg and the other Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). This is an inter-college, interdepartmental program that is available as a result of the cooperation and cross-registration possibilities among Augsburg College, Hamline University, Macalester College, The College of St. Catherine, and the University of St. Thomas. The program pools the resources and expertise within the five institutions. This major enables students to acquire a broad knowledge of Japan, China, and other East Asian nations, and to gain a functional knowledge of the language of one country. Career opportunities for those who attain a liberal arts degree in East Asian studies include government service, international business, journalism, language instruction, Asian arts, and intercultural communication. The major provides a foundation for graduate work in various fields such as anthropology, economics, history, international relations, business, law, political science, sociology, and theatre. This major is also recommended for those interested in education and work with social and recreational agencies. East Asian Studies Faculty Martha Johnson, Director DECREE AND MAJOR REQUIREMENTS Major in East Asian Studies Nine courses are required for the major. Courses in the major must be approved by the campus adviser and are distributed as follows: four courses in an East Asian Ianguage; four additional courses, two of which must be upper division (strongly recommended that one of these be a history course on China or Japan); and an East Asian studies seminar. A term of study abroad and the completion of a minor in another discipline are strongly recommended. Study abroad opportunities for the semester or a year are available in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and the People's Republic of China. Study abroad strengthens the East Asian studies major by offering a cross-cultural experience in the country of specialization. Language Courses Hamline University offers elementary and intermediate courses in Chinese. Macalester College and the University of St. Thomas offer elementary and intermediate courses in Japanese. There is a contractual arrangement with the University of Minnesota to take Chinese or Japanese languages (without extra tuition charges); see campus adviser. Non-majors may also take the Chinese and Japanese language courses. East Asian Studies 12: Minor in East Asian Studies Five courses, no more than two of which may be in the language. A minor in East Asian studies provides exposure to an area of East Asia that would complement other disciplines. Note: Interim courses or new courses related to the East Asian Studies Program may be substituted when appropriate, with the consent of the campus adviser. Faculty advising is recommended at all stages of the major to plan a coherent and effective program. Each campus has a member on the ACTC East Asian studies committee who can assist students. The current advisers are: Augsburg-Martha Johnson, (612) 330-1715; Hamline-Richard Kagan, (651) 641-2433; Macalester-Yue-him Tam, (651) 696-6262; St. Catherine-Helen Humeston, (651) 690-6651; St. ThomasYoung-Ok An, (651) 962-5621. Approved Augsburg College courses for the East Asian Studies Program (consult program director for ACTC listing of approved courses): BUS 368 Responding to the Challenge of Japan ENG 282 Topics: Introduction to AsianAmerican Literature HIS 104 The Modem Non-Western World PHI 355 Asian Philosophy POL 363 Russian and Chinese Foreign Policy REL 356 History of Religions THR 245 Introduction to Asian and Asian American Theatre Students may also take independent studies (299, 499) or topics courses relating to East Asian studies in various departments, subject to consent of instructor and approval of program director. T he Department of Economics offers a program that stresses a strong theoretical background, quantitative analysis, and an emphasis on national and international issues. Students who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to continue their education in a variety of fields or to work successfully in business and government because of the strong liberal arts emphasis within the major. The department offers five majors. The economics major and the applied economics majors lead to careers in the business world or government. Computational economics provides a liberal arts entry into the rapidly growing computer science field. The combined economicshusiness administration major allows students great flexibility in order to explore both fields. Finally, the teaching major in political sciencdeconomics allows secondary education licensure students to obtain a solid background for teaching economics. The study of economics provides a firm foundation for confronting change because it presents a disciplined way to analyze and make choices. An economics major prepares students for community leadership and leads to a great diversity of career opportunities including law, teaching, journalism, private and public international service. Pre-law and potential Master of Business Administration students are especially encouraged to consider economics as a major or a minor. Students are able to combine an economics major with other disciplines such as business administration, international relations, mathematics, management infor- mation systems, political science, history, and area study programs. Students who are interested in any type of quantitatively oriented graduate program in economics or in business are encouraged to either major or minor in mathematics. These students should also take courses in computer science. Consult an adviser for specific course suggestions. Internships are recommended. Students must consult with the department chair and the internship office before registering for academic credit.

A ugsburg College has cooperative arrangements with three universities to allow students to earn a bachelor of arts degree from Augsburg College and an engineering degree from either the University of Minnesota Institute of Technology, Minneapolis; Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science, St. Louis, Missouri; or Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan. Because of the special requirements and opportunities of these programs, early consultation with the Augsburg engineering adviser is necessary. Applications for these programs require the recommendation of the Augsburg engineering adviser. University of Minnesota The Institute of Technology and Augsburg cooperative arrangement provides for two dual degree engineering programs: Bachelor of ArtsIBachelor of Engineering (B.A.1B.E.) enables students to receive a bachelor of arts degree from Augsburg College and a bachelor of engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. The program typically involves three years at Augsburg and two years at the Institute of Technology. Students may apply for the program after completing the sophomore year. At that time, they will be informed of their status in the program and any further conditions necessary for final acceptance into the program. Formal application to the Institute of Technology may be completed during the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Bachelor of ArtsIMaster of Engineering (B.A.1M.E.) enables students to receive a bachelor of arts degree from Augsburg College and a master of engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. This program involves four years at Augsburg and, typically, two years at the Institute of Technology. The curriculum is the same as the B.A.B.E. cumculum with the addition of several extra courses that are completed at Augsburg during the senior year to minimize the number of undergraduate courses, if any that students must take at the university before proceeding through the graduate curriculum. The number of such courses varies by IT department and area of emphasis within a department. Application for admission into the B.A.N.E. program should be initiated during the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Formal application for the program may be completed during the senior year. Those admitted will receive special counseling from the Institute of Technology staff regarding courses that should be taken during the senior year at Augsburg. Participants in the B.A.M.E. program are not guaranteed admission to the Institute of Technology. Washington University (Three-Year Plan) Michigan Technological University (Dual-Degree Plan) These two programs enable students to receive a bachelor of arts degree from Augsburg and a bachelor of engineering degree from Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science or Michigan Technological University in a five-year period. The first three years are spent at Augsburg followed by two years at the affiliated university Students accepted into the program will be considered for admission to the engineering school if they corn- - Engineering 13 plete course requirements, have the requisite cumulative grade point average, and are recommended by the engineering adviser of Augsburg College. Students are also encouraged to explore opportunities for graduate work at Washington University and Michigan Technological University. Further information on these and other graduate programs is available from the Augsburg engineering adviser. Financial Aid: Students receiving financial aid who are participants in these dual degree programs will be encouraged to apply to the engineering school of their choice for continuing support. Their applications will be evaluated using need and academic performance as criteria. Minimum course requirements for admission to the dual-degree or three-two programs: CHM 115 General Chemistry CHM 116 General Chemistry CSC 170 Structured Programming ENG 111 Effective Writing PHY 121 General Physics I PHY 122 General Physics I1 Four mathematics courses are required: MAT 145 Calculus I MAT 146 Calculus I1 MAT 245 Calculus 111 MAT 247 Modeling and Differential Equations or PHY 327 Special Functions of Mathematical Physics Additional courses to meet general education requirements and a total of 27 courses at Augsburg. Normally MAT 145, 146 and PHY 121, 122 are taken in the freshman year. Students interested in chemical engineering also should take CHM 351,352. T hose who study. English believe that an intense concern for words, ideas, and images helps people understand who they are and who they can become. Writing helps all of us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through the study of English we see life's complexity, experience life as others do, and better understand the world in which we live and work. English relates closely to other majors With the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the contemplation of works of art. With psychology and sociology, English is concerned with individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering order and determining structures. With speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and in various cultures. The Augsburg Department of English integrates its program with the cultural opportunities of this vital urban area. Augsburg students can walk to assigned or recommended plays, films, and readings available near the campus. English majors have the opportunity to use and refine their skills through working in internships on and off campus, tutoring English as a Second Language (ESL) students, tutoring in the writing lab, or participating in the Cooperative Education Program. Students with an Augsburg English major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism, government, law, the ministry, library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions and businesses.

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

The department is committed to the view that education should go beyond career preparation and that familiarity with the language and culture of another people is an essential step in the development of a truly global perspective. The modem languages department offers language, literature, and culture courses leading to majors in French, German, Norwegian, and Spanish. Introductory courses in Ojibwe and American Sign Language are offered at Augsburg, and courses in Chinese, Japanese, Latin, and Greek are available to Augsburg students through the College's affiliation with ACTC, a consortium of Twin Cities colleges. Knowledge of several languages, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, is essential in preparing for careers in second-language education and translation, but also represents a valuable special qualification in many other professions. Students anticipating careers in intemational business, social work, the diplomatic corps, the health professions, or the ministry may wish to take a second major or minor in modem languages. In addition, a minor in languages or linguistics is a valuable research tool for those intending to pursue graduate study in most academic disciplines. Mary Kingsley (Chair), Pary PezechkianWeinberg, Frankie Shackelford, R o m h Soto, Donald Steinmetz Major The major consists of nine courses above 21 1, including two courses in culture, two courses in language, two courses in literature and three electives (from any of the three areas above). At least seven of these courses must be taught in the target language of the major and at least four of them must be taken on the Augsburg campus. Minor The minor consists of four courses above 2 11,including one each in language, literature, and culture. At least three of these courses must be taught in the target language, and at least two of them must be taken on the Augsburg campus. Graduation with Distinction Majors seeking graduation with distinction must apply in the junior year. Requirements: 3.5 GPA in the major, 3.5 GPA overall, and honors thesis.

The scope of nursing practice is changing and expanding. Nurses are being called on to function in a variety of settings that differ from those in the past. Today nurses work in hospitals, clinics, corporations, government agencies, schools, and community organizations, or in their own practices. Wherever they practice, nurses provide comprehensive health care through the entire life span for people of diverse cultures and socioeconomic levels. The bachelor's degree equips nurses with a working knowledge of the biological, physical, social, behavioral, and nursing sciences. The nursing program at Augsburg also provides educational opportunities to increase their skills in critical thinking, clinical investigation, and decision-making that prepares them to handle challenging new positions in today's health care field. Augsburg's nursing program, leading to a bachelor of science degree with a major in nursing, is accredited by the National League for Nursing. Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for public health nurse registration in Minnesota. With two additional courses, they are eligible to apply for school nurse certification. Nursing Faculty Beverly Nilsson (Chair), Meny Beth Gay, Sue Nash, Pamela Weiss Major Nine courses including: NUR 305 Contemporary Nursing I: Communication NUR 306 Contemporary Nursing 11: Paradigms in Nursing NUR 310 Community Health Nursing I NUR 311 Community Health Nursing 11: Practicum NUR 330 Trends and Issues in Nursing NUR 350 Introduction to Nursing Research NUR 403 Contemporary Nursing 111: Families NUR 43 1 Leadership and Management: Theory and Practice PHI 380 Ethics of Medicine and Health Care A minimum grade of 2.0 in each nursing course and cumulative GPA of 2.5 at the completion of Level I and Level I1 courses of study are required.

The program has been planned so that the major can be completed within two academic years; however, students may pursue their studies at a slower pace. Courses in the nursing major are offered on weekends with practicum courses requiring additional weekday time. More time may be required to complete the total course of study depending on the number of credits transferred from other colleges or universities. Students in nursing may take non-nursing courses in both day school and Weekend College. Students interested in pursuing the nursing major should consult with the program coordinator from the Department of Nursing for program planning. - 06 Nursing Departmental Honors Admission to the honors major requires: a GPA of at least 3.6 in the major and 3.3 overall, application to the department chair by Nov. 1 of the senior year, recommendation by nursing faculty, and honors thesis to be presented before a faculty committee by April 15. Candidates register for NUR 499 to complete the honors requirement. The following steps may be taken in any order, but all must be completed prior to application for admission into the nursing major. 1. Submit an application to Augsburg College. All applicants must present a high school diploma or equivalent and a 2.2 GPA. 2.

Students who deceleratefor more t h a n j v e years may be asked to audit courses already taken. There is afee to audit courses. ** This course involves an additional clinical fee. P hilosophy is in an important sense the most fundamental of the disciplines. All of the sciences and most other disciplines have their source in it, and it is concerned with asking and answering the "big" questions that are the most basic. For example, Is there a God? Is there life after death? Are there absolute moral standards? What kind of life is the best? What is knowledge and what are its sources? Students learn to ask and answer these and other similar questions for themselves through the development and use of critical reasoning with the help of great philosophers from the past and present. The philosophy major has been carefully planned so that students can easily graduate with two majors. Some majors continue on to graduate school in philosophy, while others use the major to prepare for other professional studies such as law, medicine, or the Christian ministry. Philosophy Faculty David Apolloni (Chair), Mark Fuehrer, Bruce Reichenbach Philosophy Major Nine courses including: PHI 241 History of Philosophy I: The Classical Philosophers PHI 242 History of Philosophy 11: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy PHI 285 Intro. to Formal Logic and Computation Theory PHI 343 History of Philosophy 111: Enlightenment and 20thCentury Analytic Philosophy A 400-level course (other than PHI 499) Four elective courses in philosophy Five courses must be upper division. Major in Computational Philosophy In addition to a major and minor in philosophy, the philosophy department also offers a cross-disciplinary major in conjunction with the computer science department emphasizing areas of interest in which philosophy and computer science overlap: logic, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language. The purpose of the major is to augment the technical skills of a computer scientist with the creativity and liberal arts perspective of a philosopher. The result is a degree that is very marketable in industry and that provides an excellent logical and philosophical background for those wishing to pursue graduate study in philosophy See course listing on page 118. Departmental Honors Admission to the philosophy honors program is by recommendation of the philosophy faculty. Such recommendations will be made at the end of the junior year. The program will consist of an honors thesis on an approved topic of the student's choice that involves research above the course level, and a defense of this thesis before the faculty of the department.

T he Augsburg Assistant - Physician Program is designed for students interested m careers as health care providers. The physician assistant concept originated during the mid-1960s. Physicians and educators recognized that there was a shortage and uneven distribution of primary care physicians. To combat these problems, the Physician Assistant Program was developed. All PAs must, by law or regulation, have a supervising physician. An important element of the physician assistant education is the emphasis on patient education. The Augsburg Physician Assistant Program is a 27-month program of study for students with at least 64 semester hours of college credit. A new class of 28 students begins each May. Students who intend to enter the Physician Assistant Program must apply by December of the previous year. The program is very competitive and not all students who apply are accepted. Physician assistant students who have not previously obtained a baccalaureate degree will earn a bachelor of arts in physician assistant studies upon successful completion of the program. The Augsburg Physician Assistant Program is currently accreditated from CAAHEP (Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs). In order for someone to practice as a physician assistant, one must graduate from an accredited PA program and pass the PA National Certification Examination. Practice regulations differ from state to state. The mission of the Augsburg College Physician Assistant Program is to educate students in a manner consistent with the College's mission. It is based on a foundation of respect and sensitivity to persons of all cultures and backgrounds and oriented toward providing care to undersewed populations. Students are well educated in current medical theory and practice, and graduates are encouraged to work in primary care settings. The program promotes dedication to excellence in performance, with the highest standards of ethics and integrity and commitment to lifelong personal and professional development.

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

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

A s an integral part of a liberal arts education, psychology contributes to the understanding of individual and group behavior. Psychology's scientific method also equips students to understand and use scientific research and to make more informed judgments about claims in the popular media. To prepare students for graduate study and work in psychology, the major emphasues the complementary components of a strong foundation in research and theoretical work with application of knowledge and skills in coursework, research experience, and internships within the community. The cuniculum's emphasis on problem-solving skills and current information about human development and interaction is also relevant to careers in many related s e t t i n g s business, education, social services, research, law, government, church, and medicine. Faculty members in the Department of Psychology have varied professional specializatio=linical, counseling, physiological, developmental, social, cognitive, and industrial/organizational psychologyas well as expertise in psychological applications to health, law, and public policy. Students may tap this expertise through a variety of learning experiences-within and outside the classroom, with group and individual projects, and through association with Augsburg's active Psychology Club, Psi Chi Honor Society, and facultystudent research teams.

Note: Not all courses that meet Christian Faith Perspectives are REL courses and do not count toward tlie religion major or minor. - Religion 23: Youth and Family Ministry Major The major in youth and family ministry prepares persons for faithful work as youth and family ministers in Christian congregations and other ministry settings. This major is interdisciplinary, combining a core study of theology and Bible with supporting coursework in the social sciences. A distinctive part of the major is the combination of practical and theological training, using resources of the Youth and Family Institute of Augsburg College. Students are accepted into the program through a twostep candidacy process. This major requires an approximately 100-hour internship administered by the Youth and Family Institute in partnership with a congregation. It may be possible for the intern to receive a stipend for this internship. The candidacy process begins with application, normally in the fall of the student's sophomore or junior year. Two of the theology core courses must be completed before making application to the program. An essay, one letter of reference, an assessment instrument called "Self Portrait," and an interview are required for candidacy review. The teaching staff will conduct step one. The second step will be conducted by the Youth and Family Institute staff with help from experienced pastors, a member of the religion faculty, and youth and family ministers. This usually follows the internship in the fall of the senior year. Retaking the "Self Portrait," an essay, an assessment of the internship, and an interview are required. This step is very important for recommending the students for employment.

Students should consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements. T h e social work major prepares graduates for entry-level generalist practice in the field of social work. The baccalaureate social work uroeram (B.S.W.) is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education and leads to a bachelor of science degree. Graduates are prepared to work with individuals, families, groups, and communities building on strengths, and to develop and analyze social policy. The mission of the department is to develop social work professionals for practice that promotes social justice and empowerment towards the well-being of people in a diverse and global society. . L, Augsburg's social work major provides a strong foundation for graduate studies in a variety of fields. Since 1991 Augsburg has offered a full-time Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) degree on a weekend schedule. Augsburg College's motto, "Education for Service," exemplifies the philosophy of the Department of Social Work. The Twin Cities area provides both a variety of field placements for social work students and extraordinary community resources for the classroom. The ethnic and economic diversity in this metropolitan area enriches opportunities for social work students to learn to understand, appreciate, respect, and work with people different from themselves. The social welfare minor and electives in the department allow students from other majors to gain knowledge about human needs and growth, human services, global social welfare, and the methods of effective citizenship. Using this knowledge, students are encouraged to use their talents and skills to address the needs of society, always emphasizing social justice and the central importance of diversity in the social fabric of our world.

S ociology -. is the study of society as a whole and of human social organization in groups. The sociological perspective provides a way to better understand the social world and how human beings come to think and act as they do. The goal of the department is to guide students in gaining knowledge of the social order, how it affects them in their daily lives, and how it can be applied to their vocation. Sociology majors develop an understanding of the theories of society and social groups, learn to create and use scientific tools of analysis, and practice the application of sociological concepts to the solution of social problems. Students are encouraged to select as electives some of the non-traditional learning models available, such as internships, independent study, Interim courses, and field studies. The department urges students to use Augsburg's metropolitan setting as a laboratory for learning. Internships and cooperative education enable majors to apply the theories and research skills of sociology while they explore career alternatives. Augsburg alumni who have majored in sociology are currently employed in the human resources departments of both government and private corporations, in the criminal justice field, and as professors of sociology. Others have used their majors as preparation for advanced study in areas such as law, the ministry, social work, urban planning, and human services. Sociology Faculty Diane Pike (Chair), Eric Buffalohead, Gany Hesser, Gordon Nelson, Michael O'Neal, Tim Pippert, James VelaMcConnell Major Ten courses including: SOC 121 Introduction to Human Society SOC 349 Complex Organizations SOC 362 Statistical Analysis SOC 363 Research Methods SOC 375 Social Psychology SOC 485 Modern Sociological Theory and four additional sociology courses. Note: SOC 399 is highly recommended. Majors must have a 2.0 or better in each required course to receive credit in the major. Concentration in Crime and Community Many of our students are interested in the field of criminal justice. This concentration, however, is not a traditional criminal justice program. Rather, the focus is on understanding crime in the community with respect to prevention, and the solution of problems that lead to crime. Students interested in community crime prevention as well as the traditional aspects of criminal justice-ourts, prisons, probation, and law-will be served by this major. See department chair for specific requirements. Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog. Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements. - Sociology 249 Concentration in Social Psychology Departmental Honors Both the sociology and psychology departments offer courses relevant to students with interests in social psychology. The intent of the social psychology concentration is to provide students of either major with a solid disciplinary foundation along with specific course work to strengthen a cross-disciplinary social psychological perspective. Students will participate in internship and research experiences specific to their social psychology interest. Course work will emphasize research skills, theoretical analysis, and applied work in areas intended to prepare students for careers in law, consulting, research, and social policy, as well as many other areas. In addition, the social psychology concentration is ideal for graduate school preparation. See department chair for specific requirements. To complete the honors major in sociology, the student must have a minimum GPA of 3.5 in the major and overall. In addition, students must: (1) successfully complete an internship, independent study, or cooperative education experience; (2) submit a portfolio including an honors essay and completed papers and projects.

SPEECH/COMMUNICATION AND THEATRE ARTS-spc, THR 0 ur quality - - of life, both personally and professionally, depends in large part upon the quality of our communication. A communication major at Augsburg is designed to enhance understanding of communication in a variety of contexts and to improve communication skills. Since communication careers demand a broad educational background, the department strongly encourages a second major or two minors in fields such as business, economics, English, history, international relations, political science, psychology, religion, social work, sociology, or theatre arts. The Augsburg communication major focuses on competency in both speech and writing, as well as effective use of media. Since the study and practice of communication is grounded in both the humanities and the social sciences, majors are encouraged to include such related subjects as aesthetics, ethics, philosophy, logic, literature, statistics, and research methods in their programs. Prospective majors should meet with a departmental adviser as early as possible to design an approved major program, preferably by the end of the sophomore year.

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

Show more Augsburg College lnterim The interim i s an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. It 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 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.

The interim day is divided into two blocks of time: I - 8:00 - 12:00 Noon 11 - 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. The number and length of class meetings as well as the beginning time will be arranged the first day of class. 'Students enrolling in half-credit coursesshould consult the Registrar'sOfficefor datesforcancel/add and to determine the grading system. Essential Information One course is considered a full time load during interim and nostudent is permitted to register for more than one course credit during the period. There i s no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an interim course. Most interim courses are graded traditionally on a scale of 4.0 to 0.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 i s 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.) POSTMASTER Volume 112, Number 3 Fall 1981 612/300-1001 AUCSBURCCOLLECE (USPS#490-310)is published fourtirnesa year in Spring,Summer, Fall,and Winter by Augsburg College, 731 21st Avenue South, Minneapolis, M N 55454.

Augsburg Interims Abroad are identified by aspecial ~ r . i v e I ~ y m h oAt l . t h e e n d o f the book are listings of other courses not offered by Augsburg bt11 recognizerl Ilv the College for interim credit, and a variety of Lifetime Sports. Further dcscriptlr>ns anrl i ~ ~ f o r m a t i oabout n these courses are available in the lnterim Office, Memorial 230. Options june lnterim - A t least one interim course will be offered in the June1982session of summer school (see listing under Education) in lieu of January term with n o additional tuition charge. Students planning to elect the june interim must register at the time of interim registration in the fall. Students wishing t o take the June interim i n addition t o the January one will be required t o pay the regular summer course tuition. lnternational Interims-Students are invited to consider being part of one of the five overseas interims offered by Augsburg College during January 1982. These interims are under these departments: English - Theatre i n London Religion - Israel, Ancient and M o d e r n - The Confrontation of Cultures and Religions i n Hawaii Social Work - Social Service and Public Policies i n a Developing Country: Egypt, 1982 Health and Physical Education - Sailing i n the Virgin Islands Other international interims are available through Upper Midwest Association for International Education (UMAIE) and St, Olaf College. Further academic description, travel details and cost estimates are available i n the lnterim Office and from Mary Kingsley i n the lnternational Center, Memorial 229. Students interested in participating in one of these international interims should apply i n the International Center before November 1. Additions to the overseas groups usually cannot be made after October. Internships-Internshipsareopen tostudents whocontinue an internship from the fall term or who begin an internship which will continue into the spring term. Students electing an internship interim are to present a completed internship learning contract to the Internship Office (Memorial 230) no later than Tuesday, November 17. Independent o r 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 or directed study per interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or directed study must: A. Meet departmental requirements, B. Present to the lnterim Director for approval a copy of the proposed study plan approved by the supervising faculty member. This proposal must be submitted at least one week before registration and not later than November 2. Appropriate study proposal forms can be obtained in the lnterim Office. Interimsat Other Schools- Augsburg students may enroll at any other 4-1-4institution which offers a reciprocal interim arrangement. Catalogs of these interims can be consulted in the lnterim Office. The lnterim Secretary will help students i n applying for registration at other schools. Registration for interims at the other Twin Cities colleges will be done 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 distribution requirements. This qualification particularly affectscourses offered for the Religion requirement. Non-Augsburg Students Augsburg Collegewelcomesstudentsfrom other4-1-4schoolsfor theJanuary interim without tuition charges provided the student's home institution agrees not t o charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special fees, housing o r board costs. Other students will be,charged $600 for the interim course. Students interested i n registering for an Augsburg Interim should w r i t e t o the lnterim Director for application forms or use the forms provided by the interim office at their own school. These students are welcome to stay o n campus but are not required t o d o so. Requests for interim housing should be made t o the lnterim Office. Augsburg Policy Augsburg College admits studentsof any race,color, nationalandethnicorigin toall the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminateon the basisof race, color, creed, national and ethnicorigin i n employment practices or administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

We also believe that a liberal arts education is the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively. Discovering Your Gifts and Talents The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg Core Curriculum—designed to prepare students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens. Through “Search for Meaning” courses, students explore their own unique gifts and interests and find where their own talents intersect with the needs of our global society. At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve for a lifetime: writing, speaking, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a few. Thanks to Augsburg’s prime location in the heart of a thriving metropolitan area, many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense, the resources of the Twin Cities are an extended campus for Augsburg students. Selection from over 50 Majors Augsburg offers more than 50 majors—or you can create your own major, either on campus or through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). This five-college consortium allows day program students to take courses on other campuses without charge while a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC includes Augsburg College, St. Catherine University, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas. Weekend and Evening College offers 18 majors and a number of certificate programs. Mission Statement Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission: “Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by its urban and global settings.” History A College of the Church Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wis., and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians 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 clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such “college” studies that would prepare students for theological study. In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students; and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is also practical. Augsburg’s next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to church and community has been Augsburg’s theme for more than 140 years. Education for Service Keeping the vision of the democratic college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second president (1876-1907), required students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg’s motto, “Education for Service.” In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary. The Focus Changed Traditional attitudes began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup, Jr., became president. He worked to develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of longtime dean of women, Gerda Mortensen. The College’s mission assumed a double character: ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (1938-1962). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life. After World War II, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College had become a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention. Accreditation for the College Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college program based on general education requirements and elective majors. Full accreditation of the College was achieved in 1954. A study in 1962 defined the College’s mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. Subsequently, the American Lutheran Church merged with two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. A College in the City Under the leadership of President Oscar A. Anderson (1963-1980) Augsburg became a vital and integral part of the city. The College began to reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all students. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall, Urness Hall, Christensen Center, Ice Arena, and Murphy Place. Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg’s commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events, increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication; the Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell Family Library. Dr. William V. Frame became president in August 1997 and retired in 2006. Under his leadership, the College sharpened its identity as a college of the city, providing an education grounded in vocational calling that provides students both the theoretical learning and the practical experience to succeed in a global, diverse world. Dr. Paul C. Pribbenow became president in July 2006. Under his leadership, the College aims to educate students of all ages—in the midst of a great city—to be faithful citizens of the world. Augsburg Today Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed: • An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church; • Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative, and successful citizens; • The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg students. The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.” Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society. In addition to Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences, Augsburg offers master’s degree programs in business, education, leadership, nursing, physician assistant studies, and social work, as well as a doctoral program in nursing practice. For information on graduate programs, go to www.augsburg.edu/grad. Undergraduate education is offered both on weekday semester programs, and alternate weekend trimester programs. The graduate programs generally follow the trimester schedule. In addition to its Minneapolis campus, Augsburg has a branch campus in Rochester, Minn. Weekend and Evening College Augsburg’s Weekend and Evening College (WEC) provides an educational opportunity for adults who want to earn a bachelor’s degree and work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women can gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts and professional studies. Weekend and Evening College began in 1982 with 69 students taking courses in three majors. Eight courses were offered in the first term. Today, with approximately 1,000 students enrolled each term and 18 majors in the liberal arts and professional studies, WEC is one of the largest programs of its type among Minnesota private colleges. The Non-Traditional Student Augsburg’s Weekend and Evening College is based on the assumption that non-traditional students are mature, self-disciplined, and motivated learners who seek a combination of classroom experience and individual study. Each course includes periods of concentrated, oncampus study as well as time for independent study and class preparation. Alternate Weekends To meet the needs of nontraditional students, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three-and-a-half to four hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. Laboratory sections or additional class hours may be scheduled during the week. WEC students may take from one to four courses each term. The WEC academic year is divided into three trimesters (fall, winter, and spring), so that students may complete three terms in the traditional nine-month academic year. A Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s Weekend and Evening College is participation in a community of non-traditional learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages WEC students to make use of College facilities, such as Lindell Library, and to participate in academic and co-curricular activities, such as the student newspaper, travel seminars, student organizations, fine arts events, networking events, workshops, and convocations. The WEC student body elects its own leaders through the WEC Student Senate. Augsburg continues its tradition of innovation to meet the needs of non-traditional students by creating new programs, and providing faculty and staff development in teaching and serving non-traditional students. To learn more about graduate studies at Augsburg, go to www.augsburg.edu/grad. Weekend and Evening College Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and the WEC faculty are full-time Augsburg professors as well as adjunct faculty who bring professional experience to their teaching. Most faculty hold a doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activities at the College. Professors are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories. Weekend and Evening College’s small classes facilitate the College’s tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. Rochester campus Augsburg’s branch campus in Rochester was established in 1998 as a natural extension of the College’s mission and its expertise in teaching working adults. In Rochester, six undergraduate majors, plus a certificate program in business management, are offered. The Rochester campus classrooms and offices are located at Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA), a few blocks south of the heart of the city which is home to about 100,000 residents. It is a city that enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior technological resources. Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a trimester schedule with classes taking place on weekday evenings and on occasional Saturdays, making them accessible to working adults. In addition to the half- dozen degree programs that can be completed entirely in this location, students may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of Rochester-based courses and courses taken in the Day or WEC program in Minneapolis. Students at the Rochester campus are Augsburg College students. They are supported through an array of e-learning resources ranging from access to Lindell Library databases to the use of online course management software. Information about the Rochester campus is available at www.augsburg.edu/rochester or by calling the Rochester office at 507-288-2886. College of the Third Age Augsburg demonstrates its commitment to lifelong learning in part through its College of the Third Age. College of the Third Age is a teaching-learning service founded more than 30 years ago to serve older adults by encouraging lifelong learning, fostering interactive discussion, and introducing new topics and subjects related to an ever-changing world. A roster of more than 25 retired, semi-retired, and working professors teach non-credit seminars for the program, based upon their areas of expertise. College of the Third Age partners with organizations and facilities that serve older adults in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, including churches, synagogues, community centers, and senior residences. The current catalog lists more than 200 classes available for group study at partner organizations and facilities. To obtain further information about the program or to request a catalog, call 612-330-1139 or visit www.augsburg.edu/thirdage.

WES is a nonprofit organization with more than 30 years of experience evaluating international credentials. WES will examine your transcript(s) and prepare a report that will help Augsburg College understand how your international coursework compares to courses and grades in the United States. Augsburg College will use this information in its admissions review and will grant transfer credit where appropriate. World Education Services, Inc. Bowling Green Station PO Box 5087 New York, NY 10274-5087 www.wes.org Phone: 212-966-6311 Fax: 212-966-6395 Financing Your Education All students receive financial help indirectly, since a quality liberal arts education costs more than tuition and fees cover. The College raises that difference in gifts—from alumni, faculty, staff, parents, churches, friends, foundations, and 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.

There is a $20 per term fee associated with this payment option. The student is responsible for payment of the balance should the employer not reimburse for any reason. If the employer offers partial reimbursement, the non-reimbursed portion of tuition and fees must be paid in full at the start of the term. (3) Students may also defer payment by enrolling in the College’s third party payment plan or in a military payment plan if their term costs are to be covered by a third party or through VA education benefits, such as the GI Bill.

Registration is permitted only if the student’s account for a previous term is paid in full or if the student is making scheduled payments in accordance with an approved online payment plan. Augsburg College will not release student academic transcripts or graduation diplomas/certificates until all student accounts are paid in full or, in the case of student loan funds administered by the College (Federal Perkins Student Loan), are current according to established repayment schedules and the loan entrance and exit interviews have been completed. Refunds Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based on the appropriate refund schedule. Financial aid may be adjusted for those students who withdraw from the College or drop course(s) and receive financial assistance. Students who wish to withdraw from Augsburg should complete the Withdrawal from College form available online through the registrar’s website. It must be filled out completely, signed and turned in to the Enrollment Center. Students who properly withdraw or change to part-time, who are dismissed, or who are released from a housing contract will have their accounts adjusted for tuition and/or room (except for the minimum deduction of $100 to cover administrative costs) in accordance with the terms of their housing contract and/or the appropriate tuition refund schedule. Students are responsible for canceling courses through the Enrollment Center (or online) in order to be eligible for any refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed. Refund Policy for Day, Weekend and Evening, Rochester, and Graduate Studies Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based on the refund schedule below. This refund is based on the percentage of calendar time remaining on the date of the student’s official withdrawal from classes. This applies to all students who drop one or more courses during the term and/or withdraw from all courses in the term. Percentage of calendar time remaining after official drop or withdrawal and amount of refund: 100% to 90% remaining Full refund (minus $100 administrative fee) 89% to 60% remaining 50% refund This refund schedule is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. Allow 30 to 45 days for tuition and possible financial aid adjustments to be finalized. If a credit balance remains on the student’s account, a credit refund will be issued at that time. The refund of charges calculation used is the Augsburg College Refund Policy stated above. Students may appeal refund decisions through the Financial Petition Committee. Petition forms are available online through the registrar’s website. Medical refund If a student is forced to withdraw from one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, the refund will include the normal refund percentage (based on the regular refund schedule), plus one-half of the remaining tuition and fees. This extra medical refund will be considered upon submission of documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances. Requests for medical refunds should be made through the Financial Petition Committee. Petition forms are available through the registrar’s website. Unofficial Withdrawal Federal regulations require that records of financial aid recipients who earn failing grades in all their classes be reviewed. If courses are not completed (e.g., unofficial withdrawal, stopped attending), the College is required to refund financial aid to the appropriate sources according to federal or Augsburg refund policies based on the last recorded date of attendance. Students are responsible for the entire cost of the term including the portion previously covered by financial aid should they stop attending. Students are strongly urged to follow guidelines for complete withdrawal from college. If there are extenuating circumstances, a petition to have the cost of tuition refunded can be made. Petition forms are available online through the registrar’s website. A student who registers, does not attend any classes, and does not withdraw may petition to withdraw retroactively. The student must petition within six months of the end of term and provide proof of non-attendance. Proof can include, but is not limited to, statements from each instructor that the student never attended, or documentation of attendance for the term at another college or university. If approved, grades of W will be recorded and charges for the term dropped. The administrative cancellation fee is $300. Financial Aid All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must establish financial aid eligibility on an annual basis. This includes completing the application process as outlined below and making satisfactory academic progress. In order to maintain eligibility in financial aid programs, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the attainment of their degree or certificate as stipulated in the College catalog and as published on the Academic Progress Standards for Financial Aid Recipients webpage, www.augsburg.edu/finaid/sap.html. Financing higher education could be the most significant investment a person or family makes in a lifetime. Proper planning and wise choices are important, not only in choosing a college, but also in the methods used to pay for it. Augsburg College, through its Enrollment Center, will help students and their families protect access to a quality Augsburg education in a time of increasing financial challenge. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 2011-2012 academic year, more than eight out of ten students at Augsburg received financial assistance. The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid supplements student and family resources. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational expenses, retirement needs, and special considerations. How to Apply The following are required to process your financial aid application: 1). Be admitted to Augsburg as a regular student or be a returning student in good academic standing with the College. 2). Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Renewal FAFSA. Students are encouraged to file the FAFSA electronically online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Students and their parents may sign the FAFSA electronically using a PIN issued by the US Department of Education. Instructions for requesting a PIN can be found at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Be sure to include the Augsburg College code, 002334, on your application. Submit your application to the processing agency after January 1. File your FAFSA by May 1. What Happens Next? Once all documents are received, we review the financial aid application to determine financial aid eligibility for all available programs. A financial aid award letter will be sent to the student. This letter details the financial aid award and includes information regarding: • • institutional financial aid programs and requirements for continued eligibility, federal and private loan programs (students must complete a loan application to receive loan funds) Types of Aid A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a specific scholarship or grant (except as noted). The various forms of aid available are listed here for information only. In addition to aid administered by Augsburg College, students are urged to investigate the possibility of scholarships and grants that might be available in their own communities. It is worthwhile to check with churches, the company or business employing parents or spouses, high schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid available to students who meet their requirements.

The borrower may choose to make payments while in school or may defer payments and allow interest to accrue and be capitalized (added to the balance of the loan).

Part-time work provided by the College is considered financial aid, just like scholarships, loans, and grants. Students are limited to a maximum of 20 hours of on-campus employment per week. The number of hours a student can work is dependent on the position and the needs of the department. However, work is not guaranteed. All on-campus work is governed by policies stipulated in the work contract issued to the student employee for each placement. Payment is made bi-weekly by check to the student employee. Federal College Work Study Program and Minnesota State Work Study Program— Under these programs the federal or state government supplies funds on a matching basis with the College to provide part-time work opportunities. Student Life Augsburg’s mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense. Experiences in the classroom are an important part of college life, yet learning and development also occur in formal and informal activities of the College and the surrounding area. Whether students take classes in the day, evening, or weekend, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to their education. Campus Ministry As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth is evident in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their own faith. Because our campus is comprised of individuals from many different religious and cultural backgrounds, our worship life is characterized by a similar diversity and richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth groups, outreach teams, and community outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are examples of the wide variety of activities on campus. This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students gather for Holy Communion. Weekend and Evening College Chapel is held each Saturday morning when classes meet. On Sundays, Trinity Lutheran worship services are held on campus, with many other churches within walking distance. We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to use and discover the gifts and sense of call and vocation that God has given them. As a college of the church, we encourage students to form values guided by our Christian heritage, which will be the basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond their years at Augsburg. The college pastor, associate college pastor, and campus ministry staff have offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or information. Vocation Augsburg College has a deep and long-standing commitment to the theological concept of vocation—the idea that all people can use their individual gifts to serve God’s purposes in the world and that each person’s contribution is uniquely valuable. In the spring of 2002, with the generous support of the Lilly Endowment, Augsburg created a program called Exploring Our Gifts that was designed to help students, staff, and faculty explore the connections between faith, learning, service, and work. Over the years, the program has helped embed vocational themes into the curriculum and has sponsored a wide variety of shortterm projects that offer rich opportunities for reflection on how to live with purpose and meaning. These ongoing projects include internships at nonprofit organizations, off-campus service projects, international seminars, vocation-themed chapel presentations, interfaith forums, vocation retreats, and scholarships for students interested in exploring service to the community, ministry, or church leadership. When Exploring Our Gifts ended in summer 2010, the College created a permanent center— the Augsburg Center for Faith and Learning—that keeps vocation at the core of Augsburg’s vision. This center continues many of the earlier initiatives and carries on the work of promoting discovery of gifts and discernment of calling among the students, faculty, and staff at Augsburg as well as members of the larger community. For further information on how to participate in Augsburg’s vocation programming, visit the Augsburg Center for Faith and Learning, Oren Gateway Center, Room 106. Student Government The Augsburg Day Student Government and the Weekend and Evening College Student Government organizations support and advocate for student concerns, needs, and activities. These student government groups serve as the official student governments, and the primary voice and liaison between students and the administration, faculty, and staff of Augsburg College. Campus Activities and Orientation Campus Activities and Orientation (CAO) creates and implements innovative programming that fosters individual and community development and creates an environment where students can connect, engage, and invest in the Augsburg community. CAO programming works to enhance and supplement the liberal arts and professional studies at Augsburg College through quality transitional programs for new students as well as through leadership education. CAO is made up of five program areas: Campus Activities CAO offers programs and activities designed to connect and engage students with the Augsburg community and with the broader Twin Cities community. Lesbian, Bi-sexual, Gay, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex and Asexual (LBGTQIA) Services LBGTQIA Services works to improve the campus environment for all students, staff, faculty, and visitors at Augsburg College by developing and supporting inclusive understanding of gender and sexuality, as well as by fostering a community that honors and affirms the wholeness of all identities. Student and Group Leadership Development Programs include Student Group Development and the Emerging Leaders Program (ELP). CAO advises student groups and provides skill-building workshops focusing on recruiting members, event planning, facilitating meetings, conflict resolution, and other areas of development. ELP is an initiative designed to develop new leadership at Augsburg; emerging leaders learn skills necessary to be effective in leadership roles through intentional learning opportunities and relationships with upper class mentors. Orientation Programs Summer Orientation and Registration (SOAR) is a required two-day, overnight orientation experience for incoming first-year day students that is designed to help with the transition to Augsburg College. Students will meet fellow classmates, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources and services; obtain fall semester schedules; and get a taste of life on campus. Parent SOAR is an optional orientation experience for the parents and guardians of firstyear day students that runs concurrently with the students’ SOAR session. Parents obtain important information about the campus; meet fellow parents, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources and services; and get a taste of what life will be like for their students on campus. Transfer SOAR is a required one-day orientation experience for transfer students in the day program designed to help with the transition to Augsburg College. Students will learn about College resources and services, hear about academic programs, and discover why being a part of the Augsburg community is so rewarding. Auggie Days is a required on-campus orientation experience for incoming first-year day students, which is designed to complement SOAR. It provides opportunities to enhance academic and personal success and offers a helpful advantage in starting at Augsburg College. Student Center Christensen Center, the Augsburg student union, serves students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests. Traditionally considered the “living room” of the campus, the student union provides a central gathering place for the diverse populations of residential, commuter, Weekend and Evening College, and graduate students at Augsburg through the merging of curricular and cocurricular programs and activities. Christensen Center also houses several student services, such as the Office of Admissions, Campus Activities and Orientation, the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work, Ethnic Student Services, Event and Conference Planning, the Copy Center, Shipping and Receiving, the Information Desk, A’viands Food Services, and Mail Services.

(See additional information under Health and Fitness, Fitness Centers.) Gage Center for Student Success The Gage Center assists all Augsburg students in setting and achieving optimal academic goals here at the College and beyond. The center consists of five collaborating units: Academic Advising Academic Advising orients new Day and Weekend and Evening College undergraduate students to the academic policies and procedures of the College and assists students on initial course selection. This office continues to serve students throughout their tenure at Augsburg by interpreting core curriculum requirements, administering entry-level skills assessments, interpreting graduation requirements, providing degree-planning materials, and answering questions on student academic progress. Academic Advising functions as a supplement to Augsburg’s faculty advising system and supports the work of professional staff advisers across campus. The Academic Advising office is located in the Gage Center for Student Success, Link Level of Lindell Library. All current students are assigned to a faculty adviser. Prior to the end of their sophomore year, when they have completed 12 or more credits, students are required to declare a major and select a faculty adviser. Majors and minors are declared online through Augnet Records and Registration. Students select a faculty adviser from their major area of study using the Change of Major/New Adviser Form. All day students are required to meet with their assigned faculty adviser(s) each term prior to registration. Both day and weekend students are encouraged to meet with their faculty adviser(s) as often as is necessary. Center for Learning and Adaptive Student Services (CLASS) The Center for Learning and Adaptive Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and academic support for students with documented learning, attentional, psychiatric, and other cognitive disabilities, and for students with physical disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain full access to the College curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and challenging, yet supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds, preparations, and experiences. Support and specialized services are provided to students with documented physical disabilities, which may include TBI, chronic illness, mobility impairments, and vision, hearing, or speech impairments. Each term, disability specialists work directly with students to discuss their disabilities and determine a plan for academic access. Typically, meetings are held weekly and discussions may include: • Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g., extended time, note-taking) • Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, general technology assistance, academic advising, counseling, financial aid) • Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Accommodations Laboratory • Assistance with academic, organizational, and time management skills The disability specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisers, and other members of the College faculty, staff, or administration to support each student as they work toward success. Taking advantage of those opportunities, however, remains the student’s responsibility. These services are available to any Augsburg student who establishes eligibility by submitting appropriate documentation to CLASS. A copy of the Guidelines for Documentation of a Disability can be obtained by contacting the CLASS Office. CLASS also provides informal screenings for students who suspect they may have a learning-related disability. These screenings are meant only to help students determine whether they should seek a thorough evaluation by a qualified professional. Academic accommodations are intended to ensure access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities. The mandate to provide accommodations does not, however, extend to adjustments that would “fundamentally alter” the basic nature or essential curricular components of an institution’s courses or programs. Housing accommodations are provided on an individual basis for students with disabilities based on the review of appropriate documentation. The nature of the disability and the amount of equipment and personal care needed are also considered in housing placement. These services are made possible in part through endowment support provided by the Gage family and the Groves Foundation. Academic Skills Office (ASO) The Academic Skills Office helps students to achieve their academic goals and become selfdirected learners. Comprehensive academic support (e.g., time management, note-taking, reading, testing, motivation/procrastination, problem solving, troubleshooting) is available for all Augsburg students through individual and group appointments. In addition, the Academic Skills coaches address affective needs and aid in the transition to college. Coaches also refer students to campus resources. The Academic Skills Office coordinates several programs to support students: Tutoring/Supplemental Instruction Services—ASO coordinates free tutoring (contract and drop-in) for most classes and supplemental instruction in specific courses. Tutors and SI leaders are recommended by course professors and trained by ASO to provide tutoring support. Conditional Admit Program (CAP)—A limited number of students are admitted conditionally through the CAP program. If CAP students do not meet the program requirements, they will be continued in the CAP program, placed on probation, or dismissed. Get more information at the Academic Skills Office website, www.augsburg.edu/acskills. See the Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal section of the catalog for a description of probation and dismissal procedures. Probation Advising—Students placed, continued, or returned to academic probation are required to meet with an approved academic advocate. A registration hold is placed on the student's record, which will prevent registration, until the student completes the probation requirements. Students who do not fulfill the necessary requirements of their probationary status will be continued on probation and/or dismissed. For more information on probation requirements, go to the Academic Skills Office website at www.augsburg.edu/acskills. See the Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal section of the catalog for a description of probation and dismissal procedures. Augsburg Advantage at St. Kate’s (AASK)—Based on their application for admission to Augsburg, the Augsburg College Admissions Committee selects students for the AASK program. The AASK program is a collaborative effort between St. Catherine University (St. Kate’s) and Augsburg. The program assists students with the transition from high school to college with specific courses and supportive programming. The program provides participants with the opportunity to complete similar coursework that first-year students complete at Augsburg. Students attend courses on the Minneapolis campus of St. Catherine University and have access to both campuses for support, resources, and activities. Upon successful completion, students are guaranteed sophomore status (minimum of seven course credits) and will have fulfilled many of the first-year Augsburg requirements. To complete the program, students are required to: • Complete all required courses (30 semester credits) including Foundations in Fitness (at Augsburg) with a minimum 3.0 GPA and no course grade below 2.0 or P. • Satisfactory completion of all Critical Competencies at St. Kates • Attend all seminars and transition events at Augsburg and St. Kates • Complete transition application and recommendation process with adviser at St. Kate’s by March 15. • Complete the Summer Transition Program (one course and all programming) in Summer I at Augsburg after year at St. Kate’s.

Students should contact SCU and Augsburg advisers if interested in this option. TRiO Programs TRiO programs are federal student services programs funded by the US Department of Education, and hosted with additional funding by Augsburg College. TRiO Programs seek to help students overcome class, social, academic, and cultural barriers to higher education. They help students prepare for college, adjust to college life, persist in college, and maintain good academic standing to graduate with a bachelor’s degree, as well as assist with preparation for graduate school. TRiO/ Student Support Services Student Support Services (SSS) is a TRiO program designed to help students persist in college and graduate in a timely manner.

Bagels sells coffee, smoothies, hot and cold sandwiches, wraps, soups, salads, and snacks. Nabo—This eatery is located in the Oren Gateway Center. Pronounced “náh-bu,” with the accent on the first syllable, featured food options include salads, cold and hot sandwiches, a pasta bar, pastries, and beverages. Augsburg provides a variety of board plan options for those living in College houses or nearby apartments. College Policies Student Standards of Behavior, Complaints, Records The College has adopted a statement of standards for student behavior and has provided for due process in matters of academic honesty, disciplinary action, and grievances. These are in the Student Guide. The College operates in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Students have the right to inspect certain official records, files, and data that pertain to them and that are maintained in the registrar’s office and the placement office, and to challenge inaccurate or misleading information. Information on these policies is found in the Student Guide available on the website at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide. Official Notices Students will receive official notices via the student campus mail system (student campus box), the A-Mail publication, and the student’s Augsburg e-mail account. Students should check their campus mailbox and their student e-mail account regularly. The A-Mail is a daily online publication on Inside Augsburg. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg is required to give notice of the various rights accorded to students pursuant to FERPA. A copy of Augsburg’s policy is published in this catalog in the Student Life section and in the Student Guide distributed annually to students. Augsburg College understands that no information other than “directory information” can be released without the written permission of the student, except in limited circumstances. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. This means that faculty or others cannot write letters of support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written permission is given by the student to release non-“directory information.” It is not sufficient to ask for letters of recommendation. Complete information about Augsburg’s procedures with regard to FERPA are available from the Office of the Registrar. Discrimination Complaints For inquiries or grievances in any of the following areas, contact the director of human resources, ground floor, Memorial Hall 19, 612-330-1023. Affirmative Action—for matters based on race, creed, national, or ethnic origin Section 504—for matters based on physical or mental handicap Title IX—for matters based on gender or marital status Employment—All correspondence should be addressed to the Office of Human Resources at Augsburg College, 2211 Riverside Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55454. Academic Information Augsburg College constructs its curriculum upon the premise that students must be educated intellectually, spiritually, and physically. To act effectively, human beings must have a broad grasp of the world from which they have come as well as the world in which they live. By providing courses in the humanities, fine arts, natural sciences, and social sciences, the general education curriculum introduces students to the breadth and complexity of knowledge and culture. Required Search for Meaning courses are designed to acquaint students with the Christian tradition, introduce them to other faith traditions, and encourage them to reflect upon the importance and meaning of spirituality in their lives. Recreation courses offer students opportunities to develop skills for participation in exercise and sporting activities. Students choose from more than 50 major areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a career or further study. Thus, through a balance of curricular activities supported by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg College education strives to educate its students in a real world for the real world. Degrees Offered Augsburg offers the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Music, and the Bachelor of Science degrees. Augsburg also offers the Master of Arts (in leadership, nursing, and education), the Master of Business Administration, the Master of Science (in physician assistant studies), the Master of Social Work, and the Doctor of Nursing Practice degrees. Academic Calendar The Augsburg day program follows the semester calendar, with fall and spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks. Full-time students normally take four course credits each semester. The Day College calendar is coordinated with those of the four other colleges of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC), so that students can take a course on another campus during the regular term.** Weekend and Evening College (WEC) classes typically meet on alternate weekends and the program follows a trimester calendar. Some classes may meet weekly on weekday evenings. The fall trimester is held from early September through mid-December. Winter trimester meets from January through late March. Spring classes are held from early April through the end of June. There are seven to eight class sessions each trimester, and classes meet on weekends for 3.5 to 4 hours. (Refer to the program schedule for weekday evening meeting times.) Students may take from one to four classes each term.** The Rochester campus operates on a trimester calendar. Classes are held on weekday evenings and meet alternate weeks. Similar to Weekend and Evening College, Rochester’s fall trimester begins in September, winter trimester begins in January, and spring trimester begins in April. There are seven to eight class sessions each trimester with each class meeting for 3.5 to 4 hours. Students may take one to four classes each term.** **See Registration under the Academic Policies and Procedures section and Calendars under Academic Calendars Courses and majors offered through Weekend and Evening College and on the Rochester campus are the same as their Day College counterparts. However, the curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts courses and majors. Augsburg offers two summer school sessions, plus two summer online options. Select graduate-level courses may be made available in a separate summer term. The summer session schedule is available in March of each year. Augsburg graduate programs follow a trimester calendar, except for physician assistant studies. (See Graduate Programs Section.) Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty. Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a doctorate or the highest degree in their field, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are also involved in a variety of professional and research activities that support their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that introduces them to current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching techniques and theories. Augsburg’s size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. Every incoming student receives an adviser. In this close interaction, faculty act as both mentors and models for students. Library and Information Technology Services The James G. Lindell Family Library opened in 1997. The four-level, 73,000-square-foot facility houses the library and information technology functions of the College as well as the Gage Center for Student Success. In addition to its large collection of print volumes, e-books, and e-journals, Lindell Library includes special collections and archives, a curriculum library, a computer lab and student computing help desk, a library instruction classroom, and facilities for media viewing and listening. Skyways link the library to Oren Gateway Center and Sverdrup Hall. Learning Commons Within Lindell Library, a Learning Commons provides assistance in research and the use of technology as well as spaces for collaborative learning. In the Learning Commons multimedia lab, students can create digital audio and visual projects. Library Resources Students can search a wide variety of local, regional, national, and international databases. They have access to 23,000 e-journals, 17,000 e-books, and 190,000 print volumes within Lindell Library and, through a daily courier service, access to the library holdings of the seven private liberal arts colleges in the Twin Cities. In addition, Lindell Library has a large collection of media resources. A service-oriented staff provides students and faculty with research assistance and instruction in the use of information resources. Arrangements are made for access by students with physical limitation and special needs. Information Technology Resources Augsburg College has built a reputation as a leader in its commitment to provide students with relevant and timely access to information technology and training. Visit the Student Technology website, www.augsburg.edu/techdesk, for more on Information Technology at Augsburg. Computing Students have access to more than 250 on-campus computers. Both PC and Macintosh desktop computers are available in the Lindell Library Learning Commons and computer lab, and in the 24-hour Urness computer lab. The College has six computer classrooms and 41 technology-enhanced classrooms. The circulation desk in Lindell Library has 40 wireless laptops available for use in the library. Several computer clusters are available for more specific student use within academic departments. A high-speed fiber optic campus network provides access to AugNet online services, printing, and to the internet and internet2. Network-ready student machines can connect to the campus network from residence hall rooms or any building on campus using WiFi. All of the AugNet online services and several of the registrar’s student services are available securely on- and off-campus. Academic Organization and Programs Divisions and Departments The College curriculum is offered by 26 departments that are grouped into three divisions for administrative and instructional purposes: Fine Arts and Humanities—American Indian Studies, Art, Communication Studies, English, History, Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies, Music, Philosophy, Religion, Theater Arts, Women’s Studies, College librarians. Natural and Social Sciences—Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, Mathematics, Physics, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology. Professional Studies—Business Administration, Education, Health and Physical Education, Nursing, Social Work. Majors and Minors Majors, or concentrations of study, may be within one department, within one division, or may cross academic disciplines. Some students decide on a major or majors before they enter college; others explore a variety of disciplines before deciding. The College requires students to declare a major upon completion of 12 course credits, and earlier in some disciplines. Details of majors and minors are in the Departments and Programs section. Unless otherwise indicated, majors are part of the bachelor of arts degree. Students are not required to complete a minor for graduation; however, minors completed prior to graduation will be listed on the transcript. Minors are not noted on the transcript if they are completed after a bachelor’s degree has been awarded. Student-Designed Major Students may design their own major with the assistance and approval of three advisers from relevant fields and subsequent final approval by the Augsburg College Academic Affairs Committee (AAC). A student-designed major allows flexibility in selecting major courses. Any student wishing to design a major must complete a proposal, submit it with approval and supporting letters from three faculty advisers, and obtain AAC approval of the program. Students should seek AAC approval as early as possible so that any changes suggested by AAC may be incorporated into the design without affecting the student’s proposed completion date. The deadline for initial submission of the program design to AAC is the first term in which the student has achieved junior status; the final version must be approved the term before the student achieves senior status. Students wishing to design majors must: 1. Develop the student-designed major in concert with three faculty advisers from relevant fields, who together constitute the Review Team. All advisers must sign the proposal cover sheet and submit supporting letters of approval to AAC. Supporting letters should assess both the student’s ability to complete the proposed major and the validity and value of the proposed major, including (in at least one of the letters) the proposed capstone course. The advisers’ signatures and supporting letters represent their approval of the program, including the capstone course, and their commitment to oversee the student’s progress. 2. Develop a student-designed major program proposal that includes: a. A statement of learning goals and objectives b. A list of proposed courses (minimum of nine, no more than one of which is a lowerlevel language course, and at least five of which are upper division) and a discussion of how the courses are related to the program goals. Indicate how the proposed courses collectively support a specialized and cohesive plan usually associated with a college major. Proposals must include research describing comparable programs of study at a minimum of three other academic institutions. In addition, students should consult with the Strommen Career and Internship Center for additional information regarding career objectives. The proposal should provide information showing how the Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements (including graduation skills) are to be fulfilled. c. A description of the student-designed major capstone to be taken sometime during the senior year. The student should devise the capstone in consultation with advisers. It should require an integrative project/paper that draws together the coursework up to that point and/or prepares one for further study. In addition, at least one of the advisers must specifically address the rationale for the proposed capstone in his or her supporting letter, though approval of the student-designed major program by all advisers presumes their approval of the capstone course. 3. Submit the completed proposal and supporting documentation to the dean’s office. If AAC approves the proposed major program, the student will be expected to complete the program designed and still meet all of the other Augsburg degree requirements as stated in the college catalog. Students who design their own majors will meet with their advisers regularly throughout the design and subsequent evaluation of their program. Changes in the approved student-designed major may be made through the normal petition process to the Student Standing Committee with adviser approval. ACTC Majors—It is possible for full-time day students to complete other majors through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). Students who wish to complete a major or minor offered at one of the other ACTC colleges must submit a completed ACTC Major or Minor Declaration Form to the Augsburg registrar’s office. This form must list all ACTC courses required and be signed by the ACTC school adviser. Some majors may not be available or may have a competitive application process with acceptance determined by the major department. Weekend and Evening College is not part of the ACTC consortium, and weekend students may not register for ACTC courses or complete ACTC majors under the terms of the ACTC consortium agreements. Other Study Programs Teaching Licensure Several teaching licensure programs are offered at Augsburg. Licensure is available in kindergarten-elementary, or K-6 license. A middle school endorsement is available in one of the following: mathematics, science, communication arts/literature, social studies. A preprimary endorsement (3- to 5-year-olds) is also available. Licensure is also available in the following middle school/high school fields: life sciences, chemistry, communication arts/literature, health, mathematics, physics, and social studies. This license prepares people to teach in grades 5-12. Students seeking licensure in one of these areas obtain an appropriate subject area major and complete secondary licensure coursework. Specialist licenses are available in art (K-12), vocal music and instrumental music (K-12), and physical education (K-12). The licenses prepare people to teach in grades K-12. Students seeking licensure in one of these areas also obtain the appropriate subject area major and complete the secondary licensure coursework. (See Department of Education and subject area departments for more information.) K-12 special education majors and licenses in emotional/behavioral disabilities and in learning disabilities are also available. These majors and licenses are offered only through Weekend and Evening College. Students seeking elementary licensure and special education licensure have Education Department advisers. Students seeking 5-12 and K-12 licensure have advisers in their subject area major and in the Education Department. It is very important that students work closely with their advisers throughout their programs. Certificate Programs Augsburg offers undergraduate certificates through the Departments of Art and Business Administration (see Departments and Programs section). Certificates are available to nondegree seeking students or students who are completing a degree from a different academic department. A student may declare degree-seeking status after earning a certificate. Pre-Professional Programs Students who plan to enter the fields of law, medicine, dentistry, ministry, veterinary science, pharmacy, or engineering can profit from a liberal arts education at Augsburg. It is recommended that requirements for admission to graduate schools or seminaries be reviewed and the course of study at Augsburg planned accordingly. A faculty adviser is available in each field to assist students in their planning. Students who want to plan a preprofessional program should contact Academic Advising prior to or early in their first year to arrange for faculty advising. Pre-Dentistry—These courses are recommended to fulfill the minimum requirements of the School of Dentistry at the University of Minnesota: ENL 111, 220; BIO 151, 152, 253, 369; CHM 115, 116, 351, 352; MAT 114 or 163 or 248; PHY 121, 122; PSY 105. Requirements at other universities may vary. Pre-Engineering—See Engineering in the Departments and Programs section. Pre-Law—Students considering a career in law should examine the handbook published by the Association of American Law Schools. Students may wish to take law-related courses to help determine their interest in law. Pre-law students should major in a discipline of their own choosing; most law school entrance requirements will be satisfied with a record of solid achievement coupled with an acceptable Law School Admission Test (LSAT) score. Pre-Medicine—Majors in chemistry and biology are not required in order to apply to medical schools, but many students with an interest in the health sciences choose to major in these fields. The competitive candidate typically has substantially more training than the minimal course requirements. At this time, most medical schools list as prerequisites courses which are the equivalent of CHM 115, 116, 351, 352; BIO 151, 152, 253; MAT 145, 146 and PHY 121, 122. Many also require the equivalent of BIO 369 and MAT 163 or 248. Students should take care to examine closely the requirements of each program to which they intend to apply. The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is scheduled to be substantially altered in 2015. A new section in social and behavioral sciences will be added and greater emphasis placed on advanced topics in biology. Students planning to enter medical school in the fall of 2016 or later should work closely with health profession advisers to learn how the exam will differ from the current format and what prerequisite coursework will be required by medical schools at that time. Pre-Occupational Therapy, Pre-Physician Assistant, and Pre-Physical Therapy— Coursework in preparation for these programs should be discussed with a faculty member in the Department of Biology. Pre-Pharmacy—Augsburg has a program designed to fulfill minimum requirements of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Minnesota: BIO 151, 353, 476; CHM 115, 116, 351, 352; COM 111 or 115; ECO 112 or 113; ENL 111, 220; MAT 145; PHY 121, 122; and two courses in behavioral sciences such as PSY 105 and SOC 121. Requirements at other universities may vary. Pre-Seminary—A student may enter a theological seminary with any of several different majors, such as history, philosophy, English, psychology, sociology, or religion. Recommended preparation includes REL 100, 200; at least two semesters of history (Western civilization); one or more courses in the history of philosophy; and Greek in the junior and/or senior year. The Augsburg Center for Faith and Learning provides resources and support, including scholarship opportunities, for students considering seminary. Pre-Veterinary Medicine—To meet minimum requirements of the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Minnesota, the following courses are required: ENL 111, 220; MAT 114 or 145; BIO 151, 152, 253, 355, 369, 476; CHM 115, 116 351, 352; PHY 121, 122. Additional liberal arts courses are required. Requirements at other universities may vary. Honors Program The Augsburg Honors Program offers an adventurous education where students with a passion for ideas can be their best. We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education. Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike any other honors program in the nation because it gives students the resources and freedom to build their own ideal higher education. Students have the opportunity to create their own courses, edit and write for the Honors Review of Undergraduate Scholarship, participate in an intramural debate league, belong to an Honors House, and learn through small reading groups, research projects, and travel around the world. Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students, and includes a challenging “signature experience” such as writing a play, putting great books on trial, or attending music, theater, and art performances. Honors courses bring in professors from several different departments so students can learn from talented professors teaching their specialties. For information, contact Robert C. Groven, Honors Program director, at honors@augsburg.edu. Also see the Honors Program in the Departments and Programs section. Inter-Institutional Programs Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities area on several programs. Cooperating Libraries in Consortium (CLIC)—Through CLIC, the Twin Cities private colleges library consortium, the Augsburg community has direct access to more than 2.5 million volumes and media resources of the 14 libraries. Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC)—Full-time day students at Augsburg and the St. Paul colleges and universities of Hamline, Macalester, St. Catherine, and St. Thomas may elect to take one course each semester (fall and spring) at one of the other campuses. No additional fee is required for such an exchange, except for private instruction in music or approved independent studies. Exchange courses are not transfer courses, and thus courses taken through ACTC are considered Augsburg College courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses for which an Augsburg student has crossregistered is kept in the Office of the Registrar at Augsburg College, not at the host ACTC institution. Students may elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain new perspectives, to get better acquainted with the other schools, or to undertake a specific course or major not offered on the home campus. A regularly scheduled bus shuttles students among the campuses. Weekend and Evening College is not part of the ACTC consortium, and weekend students may not register for ACTC courses or complete ACTC majors under the terms of the ACTC consortium agreements. Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA)—Augsburg, in cooperation with 17 other colleges and universities, offers off-campus study semesters in Ecuador, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, and the Twin Cities. (See HECUA programs in the International Programs and Metro-Urban Studies sections of Departments and Programs.) McNally Smith College of Music—Augsburg College full-time students may elect to take one course each semester at McNally Smith College of Music (MSCM) providing that they meet all MCSM requirements. This program is open to sophomores through seniors. There is no additional fee for this program. Students should consult with their adviser to confirm if the classes will count toward graduation requirements. In no instance may a McNally Smith course be used as a substitute for any Augsburg course specifically listed within a degree program. Exchange courses are not transfer courses. Courses taken through the Augsburg–McNally Smith exchange are considered Augsburg College courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses which a student has registered for through the exchange is kept in the Office of the Registrar at Augsburg College, not McNally Smith. Air Force ROTC—Augsburg day students may participate in the Air Force ROTC program at the University of St. Thomas under the ACTC consortium agreement. Students are eligible to compete for two- and three-year AFROTC scholarships. ROTC credits serve as electives at Augsburg. For more information, contact the Office of the Registrar, or call the University of St. Thomas at 651-962-6320 or 1-800-328-6819, x6320. Army ROTC—Augsburg day students may participate in the Army ROTC program at the University of Minnesota under an agreement between Augsburg, the University of Minnesota, and the program. ROTC credits serve as electives at Augsburg. For more information, contact the Office of the Registrar. Augsburg Abroad Augsburg Abroad is the front door for students and faculty interested in education abroad, which includes study, internships, service-learning, research, student teaching, and field study abroad. Services provided through the Augsburg Abroad office: • Study abroad program selection advising • Financial and academic advising for study abroad • Registration and billing for study abroad • Pre-departure and re-entry support (application, orientation, etc.) • Faculty-led, short-term program coordination About half of Augsburg undergraduate students study abroad at least once before graduating. Students can study a variety of disciplines in a wide variety of countries. For example, students have the opportunity to study gender issues in Mexico, study social change in Central America, carry out business simulations in Norway and Germany, do student teaching in Italy, intern with community organizations in Northern Ireland, do an internship in Namibia, do ecological field study in Tanzania, take organic chemistry in New Zealand, and gain fluency in a foreign language where it is widely spoken. Students can choose from more than 300 programs in 90+ countries. Programs vary in length from one week to a year abroad. In addition to the Augsburg Study Abroad programs (Augsburg faculty-led short-term, Center for Global Education, exchange and HECUA programs), students can choose from affiliated program providers. Academic Requirements and Credit Students automatically fulfill the Augsburg Experience requirement on Augsburg Abroadapproved study abroad programs. Courses taken abroad can also fulfill graduation requirements including major, minor, language, Liberal Arts Foundation, lifetime activity, and internship requirements. This is determined prior to departure when students fill out the required Course Approval Form that is signed by faculty adviser(s), and appropriate staff and faculty approving courses. Semester and Summer Programs • Courses taken on off-campus programs during the senior year will meet the Augsburg residency requirement. • Students must take a full load of credits while abroad on semester programs. • Students must take courses graded A-F while abroad. • Grades received on affiliated and non-Augsburg programs are reported as transfer credit on the transcript, and thus are not figured into the GPA. • A C-equivalent or higher must be received for the credit to transfer to Augsburg. Faculty-led Short-term Programs Students must register for all courses required by the short-term program. Credit values may vary, so confirm the specific program credit load with the Augsburg Abroad Office. Any courses removed by the student without Augsburg Abroad permission prior to the start of the program will be re-added to the student’s schedule. If no work was completed in these reinstated courses, a grade of zero will be awarded. Overload Fee Exemption for faculty-led January and Spring Weekend and Evening College (WEC) programs: January and spring WEC faculty-led programs are placed within the spring semester. However, full-time day students will not be billed an overload fee if an additional 4.0 or 4.5 credits are taken in the regular spring term. A student taking minimal credits in the spring can use the January or Spring WEC faculty-led short-term program as a spring term course in order to be considered part-time or full-time. Crossover Policy Exemption—The crossover policy does not apply to study abroad students. WEC students who do a study abroad program placed in the day program do not count that as their crossover course. The same policy exemption is valid for day students doing a study abroad program scheduled in a WEC term. Eligibility Following are Augsburg College’s requirements for study abroad: • • Minimum 2.5 GPA at the time of application. Individual programs may require a higher average. Students with lower averages should consult with Augsburg Abroad Sophomore, junior, or senior standing by the time you study abroad. Short-term, faculty-led programs will allow participation as a first-year if the student receives approval from the faculty-leader. • Transfer students must complete one semester at Augsburg before they may study off campus. • No academic or disciplinary probation. Students placed on academic or disciplinary probation after admittance to study abroad may be withdrawn from the program. The student is responsible for all non-recoverable program costs incurred. • No outstanding balances on student account Note: Students applying to faculty-led programs who meet the above criteria are accepted to these programs on a first applied, first accepted basis. Space is limited, so early application is important. Application Process In order to study abroad students should follow the P-A-C-K steps: • Profile: Create an online profile by clicking “Get Started” on the Augsburg Abroad website at www.augsburg.edu/augsburgabroad. • Advising: Attend an advising meeting--held daily in the Augsburg Abroad office or by appointment • Choose: Choose from more than 300+ Augsburg and affiliate programs in more than 90 countries. An advanced online search tool help students find programs based on location, academic needs, and personal interests. Applying online is easy—click "Apply Now" and follow the simple steps. • Key Dates: Keep track of application deadlines. Application Deadlines: September 30 Spring semester study abroad and winter-break faculty-led programs November 1 Spring-break faculty-led programs February 1 Spring WEC term and Summer Session faculty-led programs March 1 Fall semester and non-faculty-led summer study abroad programs Program provider deadlines vary; students need to meet all deadlines and eligibility requirements set by program providers. Students should start planning in their first year for study abroad to be sure to do appropriate research and meet all deadlines. ACCESS/CLASS Abroad Students should be prepared for the fact that disability may be culturally defined. Attitudes toward disability and levels of accessibility can vary greatly from country to country. The Americans with Disabilities Act mandates equal access to university-sponsored programs and services to students with disabilities. However, providing access by US standards can present unique challenges in international settings. The expectation on the part of US students and institutions is that reasonable accommodations will be made. Depending on the country and culture, there may be different ways to define accessibility and different expectations in terms of accommodations that can or should be made. Students are encouraged to work closely with Augsburg Abroad/CLASS/ACCESS. Students are responsible for requesting accommodations abroad within a reasonable time frame prior to departure, ideally as early as program selection. Augsburg Abroad will work closely with the student, CLASS, and /or ACCESS offices to determine needs and make appropriate and possible accommodations abroad. Costs and Financial Aid The cost of semester study abroad is comprised of program fees that generally include tuition, housing, international health insurance, some meals, excursions, and study abroad fees. Airfare, personal expenses, books, and other expenses are not included in the price of semester programs. Program costs vary; Augsburg College pays the program provider on the student’s behalf and then bills the Augsburg student account. This allows students to access their financial aid for study abroad. Students will always pay a minimum of Augsburg tuition when studying abroad. Students who receive financial aid, loans, scholarships, and/or grants to study at Augsburg can use that entire package to cover their study abroad program costs. Students receiving Augsburg institutionally-funded aid (e.g., President’s, Regents’, Legacy, Promise, and other Augsburg scholarships, and tuition remission benefit) may use their scholarships to study abroad multiple times on Augsburg programs (see below in Study Abroad Program section). However, institutionally-funded aid may be used only once toward study abroad costs on an affiliate program. Cost estimates for the time abroad are drawn up to assist the student in planning and the financial aid office in awarding aid to students studying abroad. Additional scholarships are available for semester and academic year programs. The cost of short-term faculty-led programs is typically comprised of tuition (for summer programs), meals, airfare, ground transportation, and interpretation/translation services. These costs are on top of any semester/year tuition charges. Some scholarships are available, but are limited for short-term programs. Students often apply loans to fund the additional cost of education travel. Students are required to notify Augsburg Abroad immediately if they choose not to continue with their study abroad experience. At the moment of notification, non-recoverable costs and a cancellation fee will be assessed and charged to the student account. Depending on the time of notification of withdrawal, students may owe nothing; or they may owe the study abroad fee, the deposit, or some or all of the program fee. Students are also subject to the cancellation and refund policies of Augsburg Abroad and their program provider. Augsburg Study Abroad Programs Augsburg Faculty-led Short-term Programs Faculty-led winter break, spring break, and summer programs offer opportunities to intensively study on a course abroad with an Augsburg professor and other Augsburg students. Program length varies from nine days to five weeks. Programs change annually. Scholarships are available for some programs. The Center for Global Education The mission of the Center for Global Education at Augsburg College is to provide cross-cultural educational opportunities in order to foster critical analysis of local and global conditions so that personal and systemic change takes place leading to a more just and sustainable world. The center’s study programs are conducted in Central America, Cuba, Mexico, and Namibia. Students experience three distinct types of living situations: living with other students in a community house, spending several days in a rural setting, and living several weeks with host families. In the Mexico and Namibia programs, students travel together on two-week seminars—from Mexico to Central America, and from Namibia to South Africa. The cost of these programs is equivalent to full tuition, room, and board for one semester on campus, plus airfare. Scholarships are available for Augsburg students. Crossing Borders: Gender and Social Change in Mesoamerica (Mexico)—Fall This program is an experientially-based intensive semester of study and travel designed to introduce students to the important issues facing Mexico, US-Mexico relations, and the context in which many Mexicans are immigrating to the United States. Students will improve Spanish language skills, as well as develop intercultural communication skills. Students will learn about key social, economic, political, and cultural issues in Mexico, as well as explore the interconnectedness of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, and religion.

Writing for Social Change—Fall Writing for Social Change prepares students to be better readers, writers, and actors in our society by looking at the role of literature and literary production in creating social transformation. As one theme of the program, students focus on “voice” and the idea of claiming voice as a means of empowerment, while they simultaneously develop writing craft and critical reading skills. The program offers a balance of creative writing workshops (in fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction) and critical reading/reflection sessions. Clair and Gladys Strommen Career and Internship Center The Strommen Career and Internship Center is a comprehensive resource center emphasizing the importance and value for all students to engage in internships, career development, and the exploration of vocation throughout their college years. The integration of “knowing and doing” adds breadth and depth to the curriculum and assists students in making more informed academic and career decisions. The underlying assumption is that a liberal arts education is an effective preparation for life, meaningful work, and active citizenship. Career Services Career Services provides opportunities, programs, and career counseling to help students discover their unique gifts, talents, skills, and interests; explore career paths; and grapple with questions of vocation and purpose in a changing world. This process is viewed as an important part of a student’s development while attending college. To aid in this process, professional career staff provide career assessments and individualized career planning and coaching. Staff also assist students with choosing majors, planning for internships, preparing for internship and job searches, and making connections to community, business, and alumni resources. Internships Academic Credit An internship for credit is a carefully planned, work- or service-based learning experience where a student focuses on specific learning objectives that connect concepts of the major to the experience. An academic internship is approved, supervised, and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the student wishes to earn the internship credit. A learning agreement plan, negotiated with the faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlines the academic-related objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods for receiving credit. Students do internships in nonprofits, small and large businesses, government agencies, museums, arts organizations, and schools and churches. Internships for credit are available in all majors and can be taken during a day program semester, Weekend and Evening College trimester, or summer sessions. Interdisciplinary (INS) internships are also available. For extension of an internship beyond one term, see Evaluation and Grading. Internships can be registered for 1 course credit or .5 credit. One course credit involves a minimum time commitment of, on average, 10 hours per week or 140 total hours. Internships for .5 credit require a minimum of 80 total hours. A maximum of four courses of internship may count toward the total courses required for the degree. Internships completed off campus for credit will automatically fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement. Non-Credit and Transcript Notation Not-for-credit internships related to a student’s major or career interests can be registered for a zero-credit transcript notation (GST009). The goal is for students to apply theory to practice in a work setting and reflect on the experience. Work opportunities typically are part time during the academic year and/or full time during summer, and can begin and end anytime. Students set learning goals and evaluate their experience. The director of the Strommen Career and Internship Center supervises non-credit internships and transcript notation work experiences. Internships not for credit and transcript notations may be used to fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement by completing a Work-Connections reflection process. Sabo Center for Citizenship and Learning Service-Learning and Community Engagement/Community Service-Learning Augsburg’s Community Service-Learning Program provides students with opportunities to understand and respond to needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences and civic engagement activities. A key component of community service-learning is reflection on and analysis of community issues in order to promote personal and educational growth and civic responsibility. By connecting classroom content with service-learning experiences in the city, Augsburg students deepen their understanding of abstract course concepts while learning about pertinent and related community issues. This dynamic and interactive educational approach employs reciprocal learning between students and their community. Service-learning components are embedded in most academic disciplines. Examples of community service-learning sites include homeless shelters, cultural and environmental organizations, tutoring programs, and literacy centers. Campus Kitchen Project and Community Garden The Campus Kitchen Project connects the campus community with the larger community by using food as a tool to nourish bodies, develop leadership, and educate students through service-learning. To accomplish these goals, three separate programs exist: Food to Share—Surplus food from the Augsburg Dining Service is donated, reheated, and served by student volunteers to neighborhood partners, including homeless shelters, youth and senior programs, and others. Food to Grow—On the corner of campus, Augsburg staff and students manage a community garden composed of 70 individual plots where community and campus members can grow their own food. The garden staff also hosts classes on healthy living in which neighborhood youth learn to grow and cook healthy food. Food to Buy—A farmer’s market and CSA delivery is available weekly at Augsburg College and the Brian Coyle Community Center in order to increase access to healthy foods. Surplus produce from the market and CSA shares are donated to the Campus Kitchen meal delivery program. Bonner Leader Program In November 2008 Augsburg College launched its first year of the Bonner Leader program, funded through the national Bonner Foundation. Through the Bonner program at Augsburg, students develop deep community relationships and engage in long-term policy advocacy throughout their four years at Augsburg. Those selected to be a part of the Augsburg College Bonner Leaders were largely first-year students, with diverse ethnic and geographical backgrounds and unique experience with community-leadership roles. Through service placements with partner nonprofit community organizations, students worked an average of 200 hours over the course of the academic year in placements supporting ELL classrooms, running an employment education computer lab, helping coordinate a low-income housing program, providing community health outreach, and working with a financial literacy program. Beyond their work-study service, students participated in at least 100 volunteer hours with various community initiatives and civic engagement projects on campus. Through their participation with the Bonner Leader program, students engaged in monthly guided reflections and leadership development training. The Augsburg Bonner Community Leader program is a successful campus model to build on the College’s culture of community and civic engagement and bring together existing community service programs to take the College community to the next level of deepening knowledge, reflection, and authenticity of civic engagement in the community. Augsburg Reads The Augsburg Reads program is a federally-funded literacy and tutoring program focused on elementary student achievement. Augsburg Reads pairs college students with community organizations in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood that are focused on student achievement through after-school programs. Graduate Programs Augsburg College offers seven graduate degree programs: Master of Arts in Education, Master of Arts in Leadership, Master of Arts in Nursing, Doctor of Nursing Practice, Master of Business Administration, Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, and Master of Social Work. Consult the Augsburg Graduate Studies catalog for complete information. The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) offers initial licensure coursework at the graduate level in elementary education, secondary education, and special education—E/BD and LD. The MAE also offers the preprimary specialty and the K-12 Reading Teacher endorsement. Students are able to take up to six licensure courses at the graduate level and complete their licensure programs with a combination of graduate and undergraduate coursework. Students can then apply their graduate level licensure courses to complete a master’s degree program. Students will complete their master’s degree through a combination of Master of Arts in Leadership coursework and graduate level education coursework. Licensed teachers also can pursue special education (E/BD and/or LD), as well as the K-12 Reading Licensure Endorsement and the preprimary endorsement at the graduate level. The program is available through the Weekend and Evening College schedule, and the admissions process begins with the Office of Admissions. For further information about the programs, contact the Education Department or the admissions office. The Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) is based on a liberal arts approach to leadership studies. This cross-disciplinary program directs its academic content and pedagogical approaches to situations, issues, and problems relevant to organizational leaders. Augsburg’s program recognizes that today’s leaders need a broad spectrum of abilities to provide them with a more comprehensive understanding of their world. Designed for working adults, the program offers courses primarily on alternate Saturdays (Note: A five-year program is available to Augsburg undergraduate accounting majors that would qualify them for CPA certification and fulfill requirements for a BA in accounting and an MA in leadership. See the Department of Business Administration, accounting major section of the catalog for further information.) The Master of Arts in Nursing prepares nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural community health nursing practice across care settings, with emphasis on addressing health inequities among diverse populations. The program is offered within the context of a Christian liberal arts education. Graduates are eligible to apply for national certification in Advanced Community Health Nursing, or Advanced Nursing Administration through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), and/or Advanced Certification in Transcultural Nursing through the Transcultural Nursing Society (TCNS). Classes meet on a flexible schedule (every other week or once per month) that includes weekdays, weekday evenings, and Saturdays. Web-enhanced teaching is used for all classes. Practicums include optional short-term study abroad experiences. Students may choose to study in Mexico; Guatemala; Namibia; Pine Ridge, S.Dak.; and/or Europe. The Master of Arts in Nursing program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education in accordance with its accreditation standards and procedures. Streamlined entry into the Master of Arts in Nursing—Students with an ADN and a bachelor’s degree in a field other than nursing can enter the Master of Arts in Nursing program as a “bridge student.” This process requires acceptance to the MA in Nursing program and completion of three courses in the Augsburg undergraduate nursing program. Students in good standing in the Augsburg undergraduate nursing program can enter the MA in nursing through an “expedited” process. After provisional acceptance to the MA in Nursing program while still a student in the undergraduate program, students can take three designated courses in the Master of Arts in Nursing, which will be applied to the MA at Augsburg upon successful completion of the undergraduate nursing degree. The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program is designed for registered nurses (RNs) who currently hold a master’s degree in nursing and wish to advance their practice within diverse communities and complex institutions. The program prepares nurses for advanced transcultural nursing in community life, integrating holistic practice modalities that uphold and improve human potential across care settings and care systems. The emphasis is on nursing leadership and system level changes that decrease health inequities and improve health outcomes of persons underserved by the current health system. Short-term study abroad and away opportunities are woven throughout the curriculum, and students are encouraged to take advantage of these opportunities. The DNP program is structured in a cohort model. Students are admitted to the program during the spring, and classes begin in the fall term. Classes meet face-to-face one day per month and three times during a term. Seminars are scheduled for the mornings following classes. Video conferencing between Minneapolis and Rochester is used for most classes and seminars. The program is structured to be completed in 32 months of part-time study---five semester credit hours per term. The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is designed to give students mastery of the skills and knowledge necessary to advance in their careers and accept roles of greater responsibility in an organization. Meeting primarily one evening per week, this challenging program is designed to be completed in 23 months. Organized in cohort format, the program encourages learning in a collaborative small-group environment and features a high level of interaction and attention from the faculty. The program focuses on giving students the ability to think critically and effectively manage in complex environments. An intensive management consulting course allows students to apply theory and classroom learning to an actual business or organizational environment. Local businesses and organizations provide a laboratory for students as they complete comprehensive projects in various disciplines and functions. The core program can be enhanced through participation in a number of concentrations including finance, health care management, international business, social entrepreneurship, and marketing management. The Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies (PA) is designed for students interested in careers as health care providers. The mission of the program is based on a foundation of respect and sensitivity for the cultures and backgrounds of, and is oriented toward providing care to, underserved populations. Students are well educated in current medical theory and practice in primary care medicine. All physician assistants must have a supervising physician in order to practice. The program is three years long with classes held Monday through Friday during the day. The Master of Social Work, accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, prepares students for entering advanced social work practice. The program builds on the liberal arts base of the College and supports the College’s mission to nurture future leaders in service to the world. There are two concentrations: multicultural clinical practice (MCCP) or program development, policy, and administration (PDPA). Students choose one of the two concentrations for their program focus. The curriculum emphasizes work with diverse and oppressed groups, social justice, leadership for social change, and a holistic, strengths-based, problem-solving framework. Graduate social work classes meet in four-hour blocks on Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, and Saturday afternoons. The multicultural clinical practice concentration prepares students to work with diverse peoples across the full range of contemporary clinical social work practice settings. The program development, policy, and administration concentration prepares students to actively seek equality and justice for clients within agencies, institutions, and society, while directing energy toward changing policies that obscure and oppress people. Two dual degrees are also available: a Master of Social Work/Master of Arts in Theology degree (MSW/MA, Theology) and a Master of Social Work/Master of Business Administration degree (MSW/MBA). The MSW/MA dual degree is offered in collaboration with Luther Seminary. It is designed to meet the educational interests of people planning to serve the spiritual and social needs of families, individuals, and communities. The MSW/MBA dual degree is offered in collaboration with the Augsburg MBA program. It provides students with the skills and expertise necessary to build well managed and financially sound organizations that serve diverse communities, both locally and globally. Other Programs Continuing Education Program The mission of Augsburg College continuing education program is to provide working adults with lifelong learning opportunities that will enable them to continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually in their homes, workplaces, and communities. The program strives to meet the needs of the community by offering credit and noncredit programs consistent with the mission of Augsburg College. Programs are developed through collaborations between academic and administrative departments of the College and community organizations. These collaborations have included the Departments of Business, Biology, Education, Nursing, Religion, Social Work, the Center for Leadership Studies, Institutional Advancement, and organizations including Minneapolis and St. Paul public school districts, Minnesota Department of Education, and the Midwest Regional Office of the College Board. Augsburg College is a Lifelong Learning Partner with the ELCA. Canadian Program The Canadian program was inaugurated in 1985 with endowment from the Mildred Joel bequest for Canadian studies. The program supports special events and conferences as well as student internships and faculty activity in Canadian studies. The goals of the program include community involvement, increased awareness of the importance of Canadian/US relations, and provision of opportunities to learn directly from Canadians through visits and exchanges.

Specific information on registration and help with registration on other campuses are available from these offices: Office of the Registrar—612-330-1036 Academic Advising—612-330-1025 Rochester Program—507-288-2886 Crossover Registration Policy Every Augsburg undergraduate student is admitted to a “home program,” either the day, Weekend and Evening College, or Rochester Program. It is expected that students will complete most degree requirements through their home program. However, full-time students may register for up to 1.0 credit per term outside their home program. Enrollment will be based on class availability. Tuition will be charged at the rate of their home program for courses registered outside their home program. The rate will be based on the maximum credit load they are carrying on any calendar date over the span of the two terms. For example, a day program student taking 2.0 credits in the day program, and 1.0 credit in the WEC program, will be considered full-time and will be charged the full-time day program tuition rate. A WEC student taking 2.0 credits in the WEC program, and 1.0 credit in the day program, will pay the WEC tuition rate x 3.0 credits. Day students taking more than 4.5 credits will pay the day part-time rate for any credits over 4.5 in their combined day/WEC load (Spring day term will include both winter WEC and spring WEC). The maximum number of credits that may be included in the day full-time tuition rate for students who cross-register is 4.5. Students have registration priority in their home programs. Crossover registration dates are published on the registrar’s office webpage. Crossover registration is not available online. The WEC and Rochester programs are not part of the ACTC (Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities) tuition exchange program. WEC/Rochester students may NOT cross over to attend ACTC courses. Students must have completed an undergraduate degree and be admitted to a graduate program before taking graduate level courses from that program. (An exception is made for approved courses in the Department of Nursing and the joint BA Accounting/MAL.) Undergraduate students enrolled in graduate courses will pay the graduate rate for those courses. Any student enrolled in an Augsburg graduate level program wishing to take an undergraduate course will pay the rate of the program in which the course is offered (Day, WEC, or Rochester). Change of Program Students may apply to change their “home program” by filling out a Change of Program form available at the Enrollment Center. The change will take effect the following term. Changes are limited to one each academic year. A Change of Program form must be submitted before the term begins. Students registered in spring day may not do a change of program into spring WEC. Withdrawal from College Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this will result in a failing grade on their official academic record. Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from College must be completed in the Enrollment Center. A Withdrawal from the College form may be obtained at the Enrollment Center or downloaded from the registrar’s webpage. The last day to file for withdrawal from the College is the last day of classes prior to finals week. Withdrawal from college and any consequential adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the Withdrawal from College form is returned to the registrar’s office. Students must be readmitted to the College when they are ready to resume their studies. The Application for Readmission form is available from the Enrollment Center or can be downloaded from the registrar’s webpage. Students are responsible for keeping the registrar’s office informed of their current mailing address. Leave of Absence Students following the day calendar (semester) may apply to take a leave of absence for one term. The leave of absence allows continued access to e-mail and AugNet Records and Registration. If a student on a leave of absence does not register for the subsequent semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the student will need to submit an Application for Readmission form in order to re-enroll. The leave of absence program is not available to day students who withdraw from all courses in a term. Military Called to Active Duty Augsburg College will allow students to withdraw from courses without penalty if they are called to active duty as military reservists, National Guard, or for other military service. This shall include a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees upon verification of call to active duty. Students must provide a copy of their orders to the registrar. If the student is called to duty after the deadline to drop a course, the registrar will place a W for the course(s) along with a notation on the transcript that the student was called to active duty. This is to assist the student with any financial aid complications that may arise and also indicate that the withdrawal was outside of the student’s control. Alternatively, the College supports faculty in enabling students who are called to active duty and have substantially completed a course, to assign a grade based upon the coursework completed, or to work out an “incomplete” agreement. Students who are able to complete some of their courses would have their refund adjusted to reflect this. Students who are being placed on active duty should contact the registrar and/or the dean’s office as soon as possible so the College can notify all parties and aid in this process. Student Standing Committee The Student Standing Committee reviews requests for exceptions to academic policies. Typically, the committee considers requests for: • Minor exceptions to academic requirements and/or approval of transfer course substitutions • Extending time for an incomplete • Permission to take a course overload • Student schedule changes after registration deadlines (adding, withdrawing, or grade option changes) Note: Petitions for an exception to published registration deadlines will require a $50 petition fee attached to the petition. This fee is nonrefundable regardless of the outcome of the petition. Petitions involving adding or dropping courses/withdrawing from college after the deadline must be submitted within six months of the published registration deadlines for the term involved. For petitions requesting a late registration, any student account holds must be cleared before submitting the petition. Students who are allowed to add a course by petition after the published registration deadline will incur a $150 late registration fee per course. In addition, the committee reviews students’ transcripts in determining academic probation or dismissal from the College on academic grounds. The committee also hears appeals from students who have been dismissed for academic reasons. The committee reviews student requests for readmission to the College after dismissal or returning after leaving while on probation, or students readmitting to the College immediately after a term in which they withdrew from College. The committee typically meets every other week throughout the school year (SeptemberApril), and once a month during summer. Petition Process Step 1: Pick up a petition form at the Enrollment Center or download from the registrar’s webpage, www.augsburg.edu/registrar/. Step 2: Fill out the petition form completely. Include documentation for illness or family emergency. Have your adviser, instructor, or department chair sign and add comments concerning your request. Petitions without comments from faculty will be returned for completion. Note: If petitioning for a change in registration, submit a drop/add form signed by both the instructor and student. Step 3: Return the completed petition form to the Office of the Registrar/Enrollment Center; if applicable, include a signed drop/add form and $50 check. Step 4: Confirmation of the committee’s decision will be e-mailed to the student via his or her Augsburg e-mail account. Catalog Applicability Students must fulfill the general education requirements that were in effect when they matriculated at Augsburg. Students may elect to satisfy the departmental major requirements of any of the catalogs in effect during their years of enrollment. However, students who are readmitted after more than six years away from the College must complete the departmental major requirements of the most current catalog at the time of readmission or any one of the catalogs in effect during their subsequent years of continuous enrollment at Augsburg. Second Majors and Degrees Students who graduated from Augsburg and are returning to complete an additional major will not be awarded a second degree unless it is different from the original degree awarded. (BA, BM, BS) Students cannot earn multiple degrees for the same major, though it is possible to earn multiple degrees from the same academic department if the majors are distinct. For example, a student cannot earn both a BA in computer science and a BS in computer science, but may earn a BS in computer science and a BA in computational philosophy. Evaluation of Transfer Credit The evaluation of transfer credits is completed by the Office of the Registrar and is based on a student’s official transcript. College credit is granted for liberal arts courses completed at regionally accredited institutions with a grade of 2.0/C or better. Liberal arts courses are defined as courses similar in nature, content, and level to those offered at Augsburg. Augsburg does not grant transfer credit for developmental-remedial courses, vocational-technical courses, or continuing education units (CEUs). Courses with grades of C-, CD, or below do not transfer to Augsburg College. Competency credits and exam credits issued by another institution may and will be evaluated on an individual basis. The registrar’s office evaluates coursework for credit and for applicability toward Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements. Academic departments are responsible for evaluating the applicability of coursework toward a student’s major or minor. The College requires that certain courses and a minimum number of courses be taken at Augsburg. (Refer to the Residence Requirements section of the catalog.) Augsburg operates on a course credit system rather than semester or quarter hours. Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter hours. Transfer credits that have been reported to Augsburg as semester or quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by dividing by four or six, respectively. Augsburg College limits transfer credit from two-year colleges. Students may transfer a maximum of 64 semester credits (96 quarter credits) from two-year colleges. Once a student reaches this credit limit, no additional credits will transfer from two-year institutions toward the minimum number of course credits required for a bachelor’s degree. However, courses taken beyond the credit limit can be used to meet liberal arts and major requirements. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are reported on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Students should consult with their faculty advisers and the Office of the Registrar before taking courses at other institutions to ensure compliance with transfer credit policy and residency requirements. (Refer to the Residence Requirements section of the catalog.) MnSCU Transfer Students Completion of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements and will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (REL 300). Students will be granted credit for transferable courses graded C or better. To qualify for this transfer program, the MnTC must be completed prior to enrollment at Augsburg. Completion of the Associate of Arts degree with the MnTC and a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements, will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (REL 300), and will waive one of two Lifetime Fitness requirements. Students will be granted credit for transferable courses graded C– or better. Transfer courses that equate to Augsburg’s requirements of Effective Writing, entry level math, and modern language must have a grade of C or better in order for credit to be granted. To qualify for this transfer program, the AA degree and MnTC must be completed prior to enrollment at Augsburg. Note: Additional prerequisite coursework beyond the AA degree may be required in some Augsburg majors. Students are advised to consult an academic adviser in the major department to discuss major requirements. Courses with C– grades or below will not be accepted as prerequisites or for application to majors. Admission to a major—a separate process from admission to the College—is sometimes required. Check with the Office of Admissions and consult the Departments and Programs section of this catalog. Advanced Transfer Students Students who enter Augsburg with 13 or more course credits accepted in transfer are considered Advanced Transfer Students. The Augsburg Core Curriculum will be adjusted for advanced transfer students as outlined below: • Complete REL 300 Bible, Christian Theology, and Vocation instead of REL 100 and REL 200 • Waiver of Augsburg Seminar requirement • Waiver of Engaging Minneapolis • Waiver of the Entry-level Critical Thinking Assessment • Waiver of one Lifetime Fitness requirement (depending on transfer evaluation) All Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements not mentioned above remain unchanged for Advanced Transfer Students. *Waivers for Advanced Transfer are determined at the time of initial entry into Augsburg and will not be granted for courses completed after initial enrollment. Transfer Credit for Military Experience Students are welcome to submit their military transcripts to the Office of the Registrar for transfer credit evaluation. A military transcript will contain credit recommendations from the American Council on Education (ACE) for training and courses completed in the US Armed Services. Augsburg will review a military transcript to determine if any of the credit recommendations contained within it meet transfer credit guidelines. Army records maintained by AARTS: http://aarts.army.mil Navy and Marine Corps records maintained by SMART: https://smart.navy.mil Coast Guard records maintained by US Coast Guard Institute: www.uscg.mil/hq/cgi/ve/official_transcript.asp Air Force records: Air University and Community College of the Air Force are regionally accredited institutions. Students should submit official transcripts from these schools during the admission process. Graduation Requirements The responsibility for ensuring that all degree requirements are satisfied rests with the student. Each student is required to apply for graduation at the end of his or her junior year to confirm remaining graduation requirements. Application forms are available at the Enrollment Center or on the registrar’s webpage. Faculty advisers, the Academic Advising staff, department chairs, and the registrar’s staff are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. Students who enter an academic program with a bachelor’s or higher degree should contact the Office of the Registrar about specific requirements for a second bachelor’s degree or for the equivalent of a major. See Special Students section (Second Degree). All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the Office of the Registrar in order for the degree to be conferred. (There may be no incompletes or open courses on the academic record.) Requirements for Undergraduate Graduation Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a major, the Augsburg Core Curriculum, a minimum GPA in major(s)/minor(s) and in total coursework, and residence. 1. Completion of 32 course credits—No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 32 total course credits required: two course credits by independent/directed study; four course credits of internship; and six course credits with a grade of Pass (P). To graduate with Latin honors, students may take no more than two elective P/N graded course credits. Each department sets its own limitations on the number of P/N graded courses that may be applied toward the major and minor programs, but normally students may apply no more than two course credits with P grades toward a major and no more than one course credit with a P grade toward a minor. The Department of Education is an example of a department that allows students to apply more than two course credits with P grades within the major program (two in major field courses plus student teaching). 2. Completion of a Major—Requirements for each major are listed under the departmental headings. 3. Completion of the Augsburg Core Curriculum—Requirements for the Augsburg Core Curriculum are listed in the next section. 4. Grade Point Average —Students must earn a minimum overall grade point average of 2.00. Additionally, all majors and minors require at least a 2.00 grade point average in coursework for the major or minor. Some majors, licensure, and certificate programs require a higher grade point average or a minimum grade in each course. See the departmental section for details about the grade and grade point average for individual majors and minors. 5. Residence —A minimum of 8.0 course credits must be completed through Augsburg College. Additionally, no fewer than 6.0 of the last 8.0 course credits must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved exchange program (ACTC, McNally Smith, or Augsburg Abroad). Transfer courses and Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) credits are counted against the residency requirement. Therefore, students are encouraged to complete transfer work and APL credits prior to reaching senior standing. Some departments have a minimum number of courses that are required in residence within the major or minor. Consult the catalog description of the major/minor or the chair of the department for further information. The Augsburg Curriculum The Augsburg Curriculum is comprised of three main components: core curriculum (or general education requirements), major requirements, and electives. Some students may need to complete entry-level skill courses before enrolling in college-level classes. The general education requirements, known as the Augsburg Core Curriculum, include signature courses and experiences, a liberal arts foundation, and skills development. Entry Level Placement Tests Critical Thinking, Math, Writing, English, and language placement for Augsburg language courses Core Skills Effective Writing Modern Language Lifetime Fitness The Augsburg Core Curriculum The Augsburg Signature Curriculum Christian Vocation and the Search for Meaning I and II The Augsburg First Year Augsburg Seminar Engaging Minneapolis Many Voices Project Augsburg Experience Senior Keystone The Liberal Arts Foundation Natural Sciences and Math Social and Behavioral Sciences Humanities Fine Arts Electives Majors Graduation Skills Critical Thinking Quantitative Reasoning Speaking Writing The Augsburg Core Curriculum The Augsburg Core Curriculum is designed to prepare students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens through their engagement in a curriculum that: • Provides a liberal arts foundation and promotes the acquisition of intellectual and professional skills; • Calls for common inquiry into questions of Christian faith and the search for meaning; • Cultivates the transformative discovery of, and appreciation for, the student’s place of leadership and service in a diverse world — vocatio and caritas. The curriculum has three major components: The Augsburg Signature Curriculum The Liberal Arts Foundation Skills Requirements Skills Requirements Entry Level Placement Tests There are entry level skills assessments in: Critical Thinking Mathematics Writing Placement in French, German, or Spanish English Language Learners Placement in writing, math, and critical thinking courses is determined by assessments. These assessments are a prerequisite for (not completion of) core and graduation skills course requirements. First-year students who begin at Augsburg in the fall of 2012 or later must complete all required developmental/entry-level courses by the end of their fourth term. Transfer students who begin at Augsburg in the fall of 2012 or later must complete all required developmental/entry-evel courses by the end of their third term. The developmental courses subject to this policy are: • GST 100 • ENL 101 • ENL 111 / HON 111 / ENL 112 • ENL 217 / 218 • MAT 103 / 105 Critical Thinking Assessment and Requirement Students identified as needing the entry-level critical thinking skill component, based on review of their past academic work, are required to complete GST 100 with a minimum grade of 2.0 or better. Mathematics Assessment and Requirement All students are required to have their math placement group (MPG) determined. In some cases, students who have transferred a mathematics course taken at another college may have their MPG determined by the registrar’s office. All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Exam, which is administered by Academic Advising. Students are required to take the Math Placement Exam before registering for the first term. Practice questions and other information are available from Academic Advising. Students may retake the Math Placement Exam once during their first term of enrollment. Based on the math assessment result, students will be enrolled in the appropriate courses or advised on preparation for retaking the Math Placement Exam. Students in MPG 1 must take MAT 103 to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 must take MAT 105 to advance to MPG 3. Students in MPG 3 must take MAT 114 to advance to MPG 4. No other MAT course changes a student’s MPG. A grade of Pass or 2.0 or higher is required to advance to the next math level. Students are encouraged to advance their MPG as soon as possible. Students must achieve Math Placement Group (MPG) 3 or higher to graduate. In addition, many courses require MPG 2, 3, or 4 as a prerequisite. Writing Assessment and Requirement A writing sample is required of students to determine their placement in an appropriate writing class. In some cases, students who have transferred an equivalent English composition course from another college or Advanced Placement English Language and Composition with a score of 4 or 5 may have their placement determined by the registrar’s office. All other students must take the Writing Placement Test, which is administered by Academic Advising. Based on the writing sample, students are placed into the appropriate writing course. All students are required to complete Effective Writing (or Advanced Effective Writing or Honors Effective Writing). Students who need to develop competence in composition skills—such as stating and supporting a thesis, organizing clearly, and constructing paragraphs and sentences—are required to enroll in Developmental Writing (ENL 101) before taking Effective Writing. These students must pass Developmental Writing (ENL 101) with a grade of P, 2.0, or higher before enrolling in Effective Writing (ENL 111/112/HON 111). Modern Language Assessment Students with proficiency or experience in French, German, or Spanish will complete an assessment to determine placement in Augsburg’s modern language courses. This assessment determines the appropriate starting point for satisfying the modern language requirement. This online assessment is administered by Academic Advising. Assessment to determine placement in other languages taught at Augsburg is administered by faculty representing the specific language. English Language Learners Assessment and Requirement Students whose primary language is other than English will complete an assessment to determine English comprehension and preparedness for classes taught in English. This assessment is administered by Academic Advising. Students whose first language is not English and whose score is below the minimum on the English Language Learners (ELL) placement test must fulfill the ELL requirement by taking ENL 217/218. The requirement is satisfied by successfully completing the ELL course(s) and achieving a score above the minimum on the ELL placement exam. Students who complete the ELL requirement fulfill the Modern Language Core Skill requirement. Core Skills Requirements Effective Writing ENL 111 Effective Writing or ENL 112 Advanced Effective Writing or HON 111 Honors Effective Writing with a grade of 2.0, P, or higher, or an equivalent transfer course is required. Attendance at the first day of class is required. Modern Language For students who have not previously studied a modern language, completion of a twocourse sequence in the same language with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P in both courses is required. For a language previously studied, placement into the 211 level or successful completion (minimum grade of 2.0 or P) of 112 satisfies the graduation requirement. Placement into French, German, and Spanish courses is based on assessment results from an online Brigham Young University evaluation tool. Students proficient in other modern languages may seek a placement evaluation through faculty fluent in the specified language at Augsburg or other ACTC schools. Availability of assessment in all languages is not guaranteed. Assessment is used for placement only and does not grant course credit. Students may audit, but will not receive course credit for any course taken below their placement level. The Department of Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies may override assessment results as deemed appropriate. Modern language courses accepted in transfer may be applicable to this skills area for partial or full completion of the requirement. Students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by passing an approved course sequence will have fulfilled the Modern Language Core Skill. Students whose first language is not English and whose score is below the minimum on the English Language Learners (ELL) placement test must fulfill the ELL requirement. The requirement is satisfied by successfully completing the ELL course(s) and achieving a score above the minimum on the ELL placement exam. Students who complete the ELL requirement fulfill the Modern Language Core Skill requirement. Contact Academic Advising or the English Department for additional information. More information can also be found in the English Language Learners section. Lifetime Fitness Two lifetime fitness courses are required. HPE 001 Foundations of Fitness is required of all students. The second course may be chosen from a variety of different lifetime activity courses (HPE 002, 003). Students may test out of the activity course by demonstrating proficiency from a selected lifetime activity. Proficiency exams are offered through the Health and Physical Education Department each semester. There is a fee to take the lifetime activity proficiency test. Intercollegiate athletes and Health and Physical Education majors may not test out of this requirement. Foundations of Fitness and Lifetime Activity courses are noncredit courses and are not included in the 32-course credit graduation requirement. The Augsburg Signature Curriculum Christian Vocation and the Search for Meaning Augsburg’s Signature Curriculum takes seriously the College’s identity as a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Two required courses (REL 100 and REL 200) highlight Augsburg’s commitment to this identity and the College’s related interest in asking students to think critically about the concept of vocation. Faculty who teach these courses make the following commitments to their students: • • • • • • You are welcome—whether you are Jewish or atheist, Buddhist or seeker, Catholic or Muslim, Baptist, Lutheran, uncertain, disinterested, or someone who is “spiritual but not religious.” Our Christian understanding is rooted in a generous spirit of hospitality. We will treat each other with respect as we learn how to engage in conversation with one another about our different values, commitments, convictions, and faith traditions. We will challenge and support one another to develop a mature faith for our time—open to doubts and eager to explore our questions and the realities of our world and culture. We will equip you with basic knowledge about vocation, religion, the Bible, and Christianity as well as about Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism—their stories, claims, and key concepts. We will deepen our study of Christianity, explore Augsburg’s claim that “what we believe matters,” and invite you to continue the process of developing your own lived theology. We will explore the concept of vocation and our understanding that we are beloved and called to live and serve as neighbors. We will explore the idea that vocation is a model and lens for viewing the connections between our basic beliefs and the commitments and actions we make in life. The Augsburg First Year In order to help them make the transition to college and their new community, first-year weekday program students are required to take courses containing the following components: Augsburg Seminar All students who enter the College as first-year students in the weekday schedule program must satisfactorily complete fall orientation and Augsburg Seminar (AugSem), a first-year learning community in their major or related area of academic interest. AugSem’s purpose is to help first-year students embrace the expectations and benefits of being a member of a learning community at Augsburg College by: • Encountering the community • Engaging the learning process • Exploring the self as scholar AugSem equips students to become intentional learners, connects them to the larger Augsburg community, and helps them succeed in future college work. Engaging Minneapolis The Engaging Minneapolis requirement builds on Augsburg’s national leadership in experiential education as well as its commitment to its urban location. The course linked with their AugSem introduces students to the city as a resource for intentional learning, typically through civic engagement, cultural engagement, or service-learning. Many Voices Project Embedded in ENL 111, 112, and HON 111 (see Core Skills requirements), the Many Voices Project engages first-year students in discussion of a common text addressing themes of cultural diversity and global awareness. Emphasizing ways in which written communication can promote understanding and productive engagement among different cultures and points of view, the Many Voices Project is intended to teach skills and methods that promote successful communication among diverse writers and readers. Augsburg Experience All students must complete at least one approved Augsburg Experience as a requirement for graduation. Augsburg Experiences highlight the College’s commitment to experiential education and active participation in the broader community, both locally and globally. Five categories of approved experiential learning opportunities are recognized as Augsburg Experiences: internships and applied work experiences (including fieldwork, practicums, and student teaching), faculty-student research, service-learning/community service, study abroad, and off-campus immersion experiences. An Augsburg Experience integrates experiential learning with academic learning. Approved Augsburg Experiences meet two criteria: (1) integrate experiential learning with academic learning and (2) link on-campus learning to the goals, mission, needs, or ideas of off-campus people, organizations, and/or communities, either through community partners, professional activities, and/or travel. Augsburg Experiences may be embedded in designated courses that are part of the regular class schedule or may be completed for zero credit outside the regular class schedule. The length of time required, credit/no-credit status, and grading options for approved Augsburg Experiences vary. Senior Keystone The Senior Keystone course provides a final opportunity for exploring the central themes of an Augsburg education—vocation and the search for meaning in a diverse and challenging world. Students reflect on the meaning of their educational experiences and consider issues of transition as they prepare for their lives after Augsburg. Most Keystone courses also meet major requirements. The Senior Keystone course in each department connects the broad liberal arts foundation with the professional skills and in-depth study of the major. It asks graduating students to think critically, reflectively, and ethically about their place in the world as leaders and servants. The official list of approved keystone courses is found on the registrar’s webpage— under the heading General Education Requirements, click on Senior Keystone. The Liberal Arts Foundation The Liberal Arts Foundation courses introduce students to knowledge and modes of inquiry across a wide range of disciplines and subjects. The course offerings in the traditional liberal arts provide the opportunity for students to acquire a broad and solid foundation for their specialized study and professional preparation. Students choose two approved LAF courses from two different departments in each domain: Natural Sciences and Mathematics; Social and Behavioral Sciences; Humanities; and Fine Arts. The official list of approved LAF courses is found on the registrar’s webpage—under the heading General Education Requirements, click on Liberal Arts Foundation. Natural Sciences and Mathematics Two approved courses from two different departments: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics. One must be a lab science course. Social and Behavioral Sciences Two approved courses from two different departments: Anthropology, Economics, Environmental Studies, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology Humanities Two approved courses from two different departments/programs: American Indian Studies, Communication Studies, English, History, Philosophy, Religion, Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies (literature and culture courses), Women’s Studies Note: The signature Search for Meaning (REL 100, 200, or 300) courses do not count as humanities Liberal Arts Foundation requirements. Fine Arts Two approved courses or approved activities from two different departments: Art, Film, Music, Theater Arts. One fine arts LAF requirement can be met by participating in one of the following: • Four semesters in any combination of the major choral ensembles listed (MUE 111, 112, 114, 115) • Four semesters of orchestra (MUE 121) • Four semesters of concert band (MUE 141) Graduation Skills Requirements An Augsburg education includes enhancement of certain skills during the years in college. Critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, speaking, and writing skills are deliberate components of certain courses. Graduation skill requirements typically are embedded in required courses in the major. Some departments, however, designate courses outside the major or elective courses in the major that fulfill these requirements. The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) skill has two components: foundational skills and the application of those skills. Courses in which foundational quantitative reasoning skills are taught have a QF designation. Courses that contain an embedded project in which students apply and practice those foundational skills have a QA designation. Courses that provide both foundational skills and an application project have a QFA designation. MPG 3 (Math Placement Group 3) is a prerequisite for all quantitative reasoning QF and QFA courses. Departments may designate one required course with a QF designation and one required course with a QA designation (departments may also designate a list of QF or QA courses from which students can choose); OR, departments may designate a QFA course that fulfills the Quantitative Reasoning skill (departments may also designate a list of QFA courses from which students can choose); OR, departments may list this skill as embedded. See the Departments and Programs pages in this catalog, consult the graduation skills catalog supplement found online on the registrar’s webpage, or consult the department chair for more information. Core Curriculum Modifications Some majors that result in a Bachelor of Science degree give students the ability to modify their Core Curriculum requirements in one of the following ways. Bachelor of Science/Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) Waiver—Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver must complete at least six of the eight LAF requirements, provided at least one course is taken in each of the four domains. (e.g., two Natural Science and Mathematics courses, two Social and Behavioral Science courses, one Fine Arts course, and one Humanities course) The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver: • Biology • Biopsychology • Chemistry • Elementary Education • Health Education (teaching licensure only) • Mathematics • Medical Laboratory Science • Music Therapy • Nursing • Physical Education (teaching licensure only) • Physics Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver—Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver are not required to complete modern language courses as part of their degree. The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver: • Biology • Biopsychology • Chemistry • Mathematics • Medical Laboratory Science • Music Therapy • Nursing • Physics Evaluation and Grading Explanation of Grades The official delivery of end-of-term grades to students is online via the AugNet Records and Registration website. Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation. Most courses are offered with grading options—traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Pass/No Credit Students who choose the P/N option are cautioned: • In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. • Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a C. • Maximum number of course credits taken P/N that may be applied to graduation is six course credits with a grade of Pass (P). • P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 14 traditionally-graded course credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for Latin honors. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. • To be eligible for graduation with Latin honors, students may elect only two P/N credits. • See P/N limitations in the Graduation Requirements section. Certain courses have restrictions and are offered on one grading system only (e.g., lifetime activities are graded only P/N). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made according to dates published each term. Numeric Grades Numeric grades are used with these definitions: 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 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 S (Satisfactory) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. Incomplete (I) Grades An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form by the end of the term with the Office of the Registrar. This form states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Extension (X) Grades Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned. Withdrawal Grade A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without notation on the record and before the last day to withdraw deadline. Repeated Courses A course in which a grade of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken each term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. Courses completed at Augsburg College must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat policy. Auditing Courses Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time day students will be charged an audit fee if their total credit load is over 4.5 credits. The charge for part-time and Weekend and Evening College students is listed under Weekend and Evening College costs in the Financing Your Education section. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Audited courses do not count toward graduation and do not fulfill general education requirements. Grade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted, i.e., courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned. Classification Students are classified when grades are posted at the end of each term. Classification is based on the number of course credits completed. Sophomores—7 completed course credits Juniors—15 completed course credits Seniors—23 completed course credits Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that comprise the academic program of a liberal arts college. The Assessment of Previous Learning program (APL) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student’s previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a bachelor’s degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum, and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: International Baccalaureate Program (IB)—Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate program will be considered by the College for advanced placement and appropriate credit. IB exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available in the registrar’s office and on the Academic Advising website. Advanced Placement Program (AP)—Augsburg allows students to earn credit for scores of 3, 4, or 5 on selected Advanced Placement tests. For some exams, a minimum score of 4 is required. AP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Additional information is available on the Academic Advising webpage and from the Office of the Registrar. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)—This is a series of standardized tests developed by the College Board that are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. Students who score at or above the American Council on Education’s recommended score on an approved examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. CLEP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Information about CLEP tests is available from the Office of the Registrar and on the Academic Advising webpage. Language Testing International World Language Assessment Program (LTI)—This standardized test assesses written and/or spoken proficiency in world languages. For a small fee, students can assess their level of knowledge in world languages to earn college credit or/and waive the modern language requirement. Information about LTI Assessment is available from Academic Advising. Departmental Comprehensive Exams—These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: • There is a departmental exam available for the subject area in question. • • There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. The registrar approves the student’s request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a P/N basis only, and there is a charge per exam of $400 for a full course credit. Portfolio Assessment Program—This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student’s previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the Office of the Registrar. In completing the evaluation of a student’s previous learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria: • There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts coursework. • The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. • The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. • The learning relates well to the student’s educational goals. • The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least one term of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.50. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is a nonrefundable application deposit of $200 to initiate the credit assessment process for each course presented in a portfolio. An additional $200 is charged upon approval of each course. Credit is available on a P/N credit basis only. Transcript credit will be recorded with the equivalent Augsburg course numbers as determined by faculty reviewers. Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning—While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg allows a maximum of eight credits (one-fourth of a bachelor’s degree) to be obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the eight credits for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the five assessment processes available in the APL Program: AP exams, CLEP exams, IB exams, departmental comprehensive exams, and credit granted through portfolio assessment. English Language Learners (ELL) Students whose primary language spoken at home is not English must take the ELL placement test in conjunction with the English writing placement test prior to registering for their first term at Augsburg. Students’ placement in ELL, ENL 101 Developmental Writing, or ENL 111, HON 111, or ENL 112 Effective Writing will be determined by their scores on the Michigan test (85-100 range for exemption from ELL courses) and by a writing sample. Near the end of each term of the English Language Learner’s course, an objective test will be administered to all students in the class. The score on this test and the grade earned in the class will determine whether additional ELL coursework is required. Usually a score of 85 to 100 and a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will fulfill the student’s ELL requirement. All students whose native language is not English must stay enrolled in ENL 217/218 until such time that they pass the ELL placement test at 85 percent or higher. The ELL course can be counted only twice in the total number of courses required for graduation. Students who fulfill the ELL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the Modern Language Core Skill requirement for graduation. Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal The College requires that all students maintain a 2.00 cumulative grade point average (GPA). A minimum GPA of 2.00 is required for graduation; however, certain majors require a higher minimum GPA. A student will be placed on probation and considered for continuation or dismissal if: • His/her cumulative GPA is below 2.00 • He/she is a first-year student who receives two (2) zero or No Pass grades • He/she is a sophomore, junior, or senior who receives three (3) zero or No Pass grades • At the end of the first term, he/she has not fulfilled the requirements established through the Conditional Admit Program [see the Academic Skills Office Conditional Admit Program (CAP) section of the catalog]. For more information on probation requirements, go to the Academic Skills Office website at www.augsburg.edu/acskills/. Dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Student Standing Committee. Evidence of a student’s commitment to academic progress is the primary consideration used when deciding whether to dismiss a student. Students who have a poor academic record may be strongly advised to withdraw before the end of a term. Students on probation who voluntarily withdraw from the College must receive permission from the Student Standing Committee to re-enroll. Students who have been dismissed may apply for readmission after one year. At that time, the Student Standing Committee will review the application for readmission accompanied by any statements and evidence attesting to the student’s commitment to academic success. A student will be removed from probation if: • His/her cumulative GPA reaches 2.00; or • He/ she was placed on probation because of unfulfilled Conditional Admit Requirements and he/she subsequently satisfies those requirements. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he/she may appeal the decision to the Student Standing Committee within 10 school days. Specific appeal instructions are included in the letter of dismissal. Students may also be dismissed from professional programs, such as social work, education, and nursing. A student dismissed from a program may appeal the decision through the Program Dismissal Appeal Process. The process is available at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/. Dean’s List The Dean’s List, compiled after each semester, lists undergraduate students whose grade point average for a semester is 3.50 or better. Students must be full-time students (a minimum equivalent of three full course credits for a weekday schedule student or two equivalent full course credits for a Weekend and Evening College student), graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. Courses taken outside of a program’s calendar (e.g., crossover courses taken in a WEC trimester term by a day student, or in a semester term by a weekend student) are not calculated when determining the Dean’s List. If permission has been given by the student, an announcement of the Dean’s List is sent to the student’s hometown newspaper. Latin Honors Augsburg recognizes those students who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement by conferring Latin honors upon completion of a bachelor’s degree. This designation and the standards set are in effect for all students who complete degree requirements in May 2004 or later. Students may also receive honors recognition for departmental honors and for participation in the Honors program. (See individual department and program descriptions for details.) Qualification for Latin honors is determined as follows: Summa cum laude 3.90-4.00 GPA, plus successful completion of the summa oral examination Magna cum laude 3.80-3.89 GPA Cum laude 3.60-3.79 GPA To be eligible, a student must complete a minimum of 14 traditionally-graded credits at Augsburg and have no more than two elective pass/no pass graded credits at Augsburg (classes offered only as P/N by the department will not be counted). For additional information, including the guidelines for the summa cum laude oral examination, go to the Latin Honors section at www.augsburg.edu/registrar/. Graduation and Commencement Though the terms are often confused, the words “graduation” and “commencement” carry different meanings. Graduation refers to the completion of all degree requirements. Students graduate when all requirements for the degree have been fulfilled, meaning that one can graduate at any point during the academic year provided that all requirements are complete. Commencement is a ceremony. It is an opportunity for students, family, friends, and the Augsburg College community to celebrate academic achievement. Participation in commencement, however, does not mean that a student has graduated. A student will not graduate and a degree will not be conferred until all requirements are met, regardless of participation in commencement. Augsburg College holds two commencement ceremonies in the spring to accommodate the College’s different student populations. The May commencement ceremony is for students in the day undergraduate program and for students in the Physician Assistant Studies graduate program. The June commencement ceremony is for students in the other six graduate programs as well as undergraduate students in the Weekend and Evening College and Rochester programs. Undergraduate students who have not completed all degree requirements may participate in commencement if: (1) no more than three requirements will remain in their program at the conclusion of spring term; and (2) the remaining requirements will be completed in the summer or fall terms immediately following commencement. Enrollment/Degree Verification Augsburg College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as its agent for verification of student enrollment and degree status. Contact information is as follows: National Student Clearinghouse 13454 Sunrise Valley Road, Suite 300 Herndon, VA 20171 Web: www.degreeverify.org Phone: 703-742-4200 Fax: 703-742-4239 E-mail: degreeverify@studentclearinghouse.org Veterans of Military Service Augsburg is approved by the state approving agency for veterans education. Veterans should consult with the VA certifying official in the Office of the Registrar about completion of enrollment verification and the forwarding of other information to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans will need to meet the requirements of the Veterans Administration regarding repayment of educational assistance funds received. Additional information about veterans education benefits can be found at www.gibill.va.gov. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Notice The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg College is required to give notice of the various rights accorded to students pursuant to FERPA. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following: Right to inspect and review education records—You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg College. The student must request to review their education records in writing with their signature. The College will respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request. Right to request amendment of education records—You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records according to your request. Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information—You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize disclosure without your permission. One such exception which permits disclosure without consent is for disclosure to school officials who have legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the board of trustees, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information”—FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without notification of the request or disclosure to the student. Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform Augsburg College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused. “Directory information” includes the following: • The student’s name • The student’s address • The student’s telephone number • The student’s e-mail address • The student’s date and place of birth • The student’s major and minor field of study • The student’s academic class level • The student’s enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT) • The student’s participation in officially-recognized activities and sports • The student’s degrees and awards received (including dates) • The weight and height of members of athletic teams • The student’s dates of attendance • Previous educational agencies or institutions attended by the student • The student’s photograph Augsburg College will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such information be withheld. The Office of the Registrar must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory Information. If the notice is not received by the registrar prior to Sept. 15 (or within 10 school days of the start of a subsequent term for a new student), it will be assumed that all Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder of the current academic year. A new notice for withholding disclosure must be completed each academic year. Right to complain to FERPA Office—You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, US Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. SW, Washington, DC, 20202-4605, concerning Augsburg’s failure to comply with FERPA. Reporting Educational Information Letters of reference must be requested in writing and explicitly indicate what information may be reported in the letter. Clery Act The Clery Act Annual Report for Augsburg College contains statistics on reported crimes on and near Augsburg property and campus, as well as institutional policies concerning campus security and crime.

Students register directly with the ACTC office. 2 Dual-degree programs with the University of Minnesota Institute of Technology and Michigan Technological University. Departments and Programs As a liberal arts institution, Augsburg College believes that knowledge and truth are interrelated and are integrated into a whole. The tradition of the academic world, however, divides this unified truth into more manageable parts: the academic disciplines. The knowledge of individual disciplines is subdivided into courses that make it more accessible to students. These courses can be arranged in various ways to construct majors, to create the substance of a broad general education, and to give students the opportunity to study areas of particular individual interest. Course Descriptions Descriptions of courses are arranged by departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus containing a more detailed explanation of content, approach, requirements, and evaluations for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor. Department entries also contain a narrative discussion of the educational philoso-phy of each department, its goals, and its place in the College’s program. A listing of requirements for individual majors and minors follows the narrative. Class Schedule Courses listed are subject to change. In general, day classes are offered fall and/or spring terms unless otherwise indicated. The schedule of classes offered through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) for fall and spring terms is only available online. Since some courses are offered alternate years, it is important that the student review major requirements and course offerings with an adviser to ensure that all requirements can be met. Descriptions and schedules for the Master of Arts in Education, Master of Arts in Leadership, Master of Arts in Nursing, Master of Business Administration, Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, Master of Social Work, and Doctor of Nursing Practice courses are published in a separate Graduate Studies catalog. Credits A full course is offered for one course credit. A few fractional courses, for one-half or onequarter course credit, are offered. Unless noted, all courses are one course credit. A full course is valued as four semester credits or six quarter hours. Most day program courses meet for three 60-minute periods or two 90-minute periods per week with additional time required for laboratory work. All full credit Weekend and Evening College courses meet for eight three-andone-half-hour sessions during fall and for seven four-hour sessions during winter and spring terms. Numbering Courses numbered below 300 and above are classified as upper division. In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for first-years, 200s for sophomores, 300s for juniors, and 400s for seniors. Prerequisites Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are listed in the course description as prerequisites. A student may enroll in a course when a prerequisite has not been fulfilled if there is prior approval by the professor teaching the course. Some prerequisites (such as ENL 111, math placement, and critical thinking) cannot be waived by the instructor. NOTE: Not all courses are offered in all schedules. Refer to Augnet Records and Registration for information on when specific courses are offered. Internships and Independent Studies Every department offers opportunities for internships and independent study. The course description and process for registering for credit is normally the same for each department. Some departments have additional statements that can be found in the departmental course listing. Interdisciplinary internships are also available. Internships Registration for internships consists of the following steps: 1. Obtain the internship registration permission form and secure the signatures of the faculty supervisor and director of the Strommen Career and Internship Center. 2. Register: Turn in the completed internship registration form (with all signatures) to the Enrollment Center. You must register the internship for the academic term that coincides with the internship experience. 3. A learning agreement plan (on-line form available from the Strommen Career and Internship Center) must be submitted to the faculty member responsible for grading the experience. The form is is sent to the Strommen Career and Internship Center and copies are sent to the faculty supervisor and student. 196 Internship/On-campus 197 Internship/Off-campus (.5) 198 Internship/On-campus (.5) 199 Internship/Off-campus A work or service-based learning experience typically at the sophomore level in which a student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. Prior to the beginning of the term/registration, interested students must consult with the departmental internship coordinator or a faculty member and the Strommen Career and Internship Center regarding requirements and permission to register. 396 Internship/On-campus 397 Internship/Off-campus (.5) 398 Internship/On-campus (.5) 399 Internship/Off-campus A work or service-based learning experience at the junior/senior level in which a student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. For some majors, participation in a concurrent seminar may be expected. Prior to the beginning of the term/registration, interested students must consult with the departmental internship coordinator or a faculty member and the Strommen Career and Internship Center regarding requirements and permission to register. (Off-campus 397/399 internships are one option for the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement.) Directed and Independent Studies 299 Directed Study An opportunity to study topics not covered in the scheduled offerings under the direction of an instructor. Open to all students, but normally taken by sophomores and juniors. Approval must be secured in writing from the instructor and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is undertaken. 499 Independent Study/Research An opportunity for advanced and specialized research projects. Normally open to junior and senior majors. Approval must be secured in writing from the instructor and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is undertaken. American Indian Studies—AIS American Indian studies is a major that gives students the opportunity to learn about the original, indigenous cultures of North America. Students will be provided with a multidisciplinary understanding of the history and present situation of American Indians. The program emphasizes the interrelations among history, culture, language, literature, the arts, philosophy, religion, political and social forces, and the legal status and sovereignty of American Indians. This course of study exposes students to the richness and beauty of North American Indian cultures.
