additional f e e . Students may e l e c t t o do t h i s t o gain new
perspectives, t o get b e t t e r acquainted with t h e o t h e r schools,
o r because a s p e c i f i c course i s not o f f e r e d on t h e home campus.
Because t h e s e f i v e colleges have coordinated 4-1-4 calendars, t h e
interim term may a l s o be taken on another campus.

students, interchange and sharing of academic personnel and o t h e r
college resources, cooperative research p r o j e c t s , j o i n t

offered a r e from several college departments, and t h e response of
students involved i n t h e courses, both from Augsburg and t h e
i n s t i t u t i o n s , has been extremely favorable.
The purpose of t h e course is t o get a f i r s t - h a n d view of t h e
prisons and h o s p i t a l s and personalize t h e study by a c t u a l l y
i n t e r a c t i n g with inmates and t h e i r problems.

.. . . , .. . . . .The College operates on a 4-1-4 calendar. Each semester is 15 weeks in
length and the interim is 4 weeks.
PREREQUISITE..
. .. . . ., A course which a student is required to complete before another one

There are few colleges that combine the excitement and vitality of a metropolitan center
with the smallness and intimacy of the rural
setting. Augsburg is one of these few, very
special colleges that can offer you both.
The small college atmosphere enables you to
be a participant or a spectator at avariety of
events and activities. Exhibitions, concerts,
films, and lectures are regularly available to
you on campus. Through the intercollegiate or
intramural athletic programs you may choose
participation in athletics.
Religious activities are avital part of the campus. The Religious Life Commission has been
established by the Student Government for the
purpose of overseeing, stimulating and perpetuating religious life on the Augsburg campus. Its primary purpose and goal is not selfserving nor self-sustaining, but is that of
furthering the ministry of Christ on the
Augsburg campus.
.
You, the student, are an individual at
Augsburg. You design your own learning experience. While distributional and major requirements act as guidelines, there is latitude
for you to design much of your own education.
At Augsburg, the innovative and experimental
as well as the individual are central. The College follows the calendar known as the
"4-1 -4,"
In the study of the liberal arts, you will encounter ideas and experiences from the whole
range of human knowledge. The liberal arts
education, however, is more than an accumulation of knowledge from a number of
fields. Augsburg recognizes that concentration is necessary in your chosen field. You
may choose from 35 majors for hundreds of
career possibilities.
Augsburg is in the center of the Twin Cities of
Minneapolis and St. Paul. In this metropolitan
setting, a rich kaleidoscope of resources and
activities are available to enrich your education. You may choose an evening at the
Guthrie Theater, the Brave New Workshop, or
at any of the many galleries or coffee houses.
You might spend an afternoon touring the
newly renovated Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
You may choose a concert by the Minnesota
Orchestra or one by the many professional
touring groups that appear in the Twin Cities.
There are numerous opportunities for individual and team sports. Professional sports
are also available-the Twins, the Vikings,
the North Stars, the Fighting Saints, and the
Buckskins.
Thus, Augsburg is a distinctive combination: a
strong academic program, a capable and dedicated staff, an eager student body, and a
remarkable location.

Academic Life
Augsburg is a modern, well-equipped college
which aims to provide its students with a
broad liberal arts education as well as prepare
them for a career. A strong academic program
in the arts and sciences and in theology is
available. Pre-professional preparation for
such fields as engineering, medicine, law and
the Christian ministry is offered. The College

abilities of each person.
opportunities for those interested in communications. No matter what your interest, the
interim will afford the opportunity to experience and experiment while learning.
Faculty
Augsburg has an able and dedicated faculty
who take a personal interest in their students.
The student-faculty ratio is approximately 17.8
to 1, with class size averaging 25 or less.
Augsburg faculty members serve as academic
advisers and are available for help on individual problems. They know students by
their first name and often join students in discussing the political climate, reactions to the
latest visiting speaker, or talking over the
latest Viking victory while having coffee.
The 4-1-4 Calendar
Augsburg follows the 4-1-4 calendar. Two 15week semesters are separated by a 4-week interim in January. During each semester the
student generally enrolls in four courses; during the interim there is concentration on one
subject.
The interim period is an especially exciting
time. The whole world becomes an arena of
learning. Creative energies and individual interests determine the course of study. Innovation and experimentation are encouraged in
this break in the general academic schedule.
Interest in music may take form in the study
and presentation of a concert program. Interest in people may find form in the study and
participation in activities of a social agency.
Newspapers and advertising agencies provide
General Education Requirements
Distribution requirements for graduation are
minimal, affording the student considerable
freedom in the choice of courses. A student
seeking a liberal arts education would choose
many of them even if they were not required.
In the humanities division, students select

speech, drama, and religion. Science courses
may be chosen from biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, or psychology. Courses in
economics, history, political science, sociology, and foreign languages or literature are

Pre-Professional Training
Students who plan to enter the fields of law,
medicine, dentistry, the ministry, and
engineering, can profit from a liberal arts
education at Augsburg. It is suggested that re- '
quirements for admission to graduate schools
or seminaries be reviewed and then the course
of study at Augsburg be planned accordingly.
Augsburg offers a wide scope of courses in
the natural and social sciences, in the humanities, and in religion and philosophy which will
provide the necessary preparation for future
professional study.
Inter-Institutional Programs
Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and
institutes in the Twin Cities areaon several
programs.
FIVE COLLEGE COOPERATIVE PROGRAM.
Students at Augsburg and the St. Paul colleges of Hamline, Macalester, St. Catherine
and St. Thomas may elect a course each
semester at another campus. No additional fee
is required for such an exchange, except for
private instruction in music and some independent studies. See under "Independent Study" for further details. Students may elect to
do this to gain new perspectives, to get better
acquainted with the other schools, or because
a specific course is not offered on the home
campus. Because these colleges have coordinated calendars, the interim term may also be
taken on another campus. A regularly
scheduled bus shuttles students free between
the campuses.
Augsburg College also cooperates with other
colleges in planning study opportunities for
the January interim. For example, Augsburg
and St. Olaf jointly plan a number of foreign
study opportunities for the interim. Since the
interim program is new each year, the Interim
Director should be consulted regarding
planned programs.
THE HIGHER EDUCATION CONSORTIUM.
This group is composed of 12 colleges and
universities in Minnesota, Iowa, and South
Dakota. Planned activities include innovative
curricular programs for students, interchange
and sharing of academic personnel and other
college resources, cooperative research projects, foreign study, joint sponsorship of a
metro-urban affairs conference, and development of programs consistent with the needs
and resources of the community organizations
of the Upper Midwest.
CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY PROGRAM. A
cooperative effort between Augsburg College
and Metropolitan Community College in
downtown Minneapolis has resulted in the establishment of a four-year program in sociology or psychology with a chemical dependency
specialty. The program is designed to train
specialists to help professional people in dealing with chemical dependency problems.
Courses are taken both on the Augsburg and
the Metropolitan campuses.
CONSERVATION OF HUMAN RESOURCES
(CHR). These co-learning classes bring
together Augsburg students, prison inmates,
mental hospital patients, guards, and students
at rehabilitation centers. All take coursesfor
credit from Augsburg. Classes are held at
such places as the Shakopee Institution for
Women, Stillwater State Prison and Trevilla of
Robbinsdale (a halfway house rehabilitation
center). One purpose of the classes, which are
offered by several departments, is to get a
first-hand view of the prisons and hospitals,
and to personalize the study by actually interacting with inmates and their problems. The
response of students involved in the courses,
both from Augsburg and the institutions, has
been extremely favorable.
COMPUTER PROGRAMMING. Augsburg and
Control Data Institute have an arrangement
whereby students may transfer the equivalent
of three courses in computer programming
taken at CDI to Augsburg College.
AFFILIATION WITH LUTHERAN DEACONESS
HOSPITAL. Student nurses in the School of
Nursing at the Lutheran Deaconess Hospital in
Minneapolis receive instruction in biology,
chemistry, English, psychology, and sociology
at Augsburg. Application for admission to the
School of Nursing should be made directly to
the hospital.
MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY. In cooperation with
Hennepin County General, Metropolitan Medical Center, and Northwestern hospitals,
Augsburg offers work which enables qualified
students to receive a college degree with a
major in Medical Technology. The first three
years of this work are taken at Augsburg, and
a final twelve-month program is completed at
one of the three hospitals when the student is
accepted by the participating hospital for its
program. Augsburg College does not
guarantee acceptance by the hospitals.
ENGINEERING. Affiliation with Washington
University School of Engineering and Applied
Science in St. Louis, Missouri enables a student to receive the Bachelor of Arts degree
from Augsburg College and an engineering
baccalaureate degree from Washington
University in a five-year program. The first
three years are spent at Augsburg and the last
two years at Washington University.
Each year the Conservation of Human
Resources office at Augsburg holds tuitionraising benefits to help pay for inmates'
matriculation in these co-learning courses.
CORRECTIVE THERAPY. A program in Corrective Therapy worked out in cooperation
with the Veterans administration Hospital,
Fairview Hospital, and Cambridge State Hospital, is available to students who complete a
major in physical education with specialization in Corrective Therapy.
SUMMER SCHOOL. Augsburg's summer
school calendar is coordinated with that of
Concordia College in St. Paul. Students who
enroll may select courses on either campus.
Two sessions are offered each summer.
Admission to the curriculum requires an application to be approved by the Director of
Physical Education. Application should be
made during the spring semester of the
sophomore year. Candidates are required to
have a 2.5 grade-point average in work completed in the major and a 2.0 grade-point
average over-all. All candidates should, as
soon as possible, consult with the Director of
Physical Education regarding proper sequence of courses.
Opportunities for Study Abroad
There are several types of international experience available to Augsburg students.
Some of them are briefly described below. For
application procedures and further information, request the special brochure on International Study at Augsburg from the Director of
lnternational Programs.
STUDENT PROJECT FOR AMITY AMONG NATIONS (SPAN). Augsburg participates in the
SPAN program. This is a joint venture of the
University of Minnesota and several colleges
in the state. Each year three or four countries
are selected, and qualified students are
granted partial scholarships to enable them to
spend a summer in informal study in one of the
countries chosen. Applications to the program
are made in the spring of the freshman or
sophomore year. The SPAN program consists
of three stages: language study and group
meetings during the school year before departure, independent study abroad on a topic of
one's choice during the following summer,
and the writing of a paper upon return.
SEMESTER OR YEAR ABROAD.
Arrangements have been made under which
Augsburg students may spend their
sophomore or junior year in study at a number
of foreign educational institutions. These institutions are The University of Oslo, Norway;
Schiller College in London and Heidelberg;
Warnborough House College at Oxford, England; the lnstituto Allende at San Miguel de
Allende in Mexico; the Institute for American
Universities at Aix-en-Provence and Avignon
in France; The Goethe Institute in Germany;
The University of Hamburg, Germany; the
University of Seville, Spain; and the University
of Laval in Quebec. In addition, through the
Higher Education Consortium for Urban
Affairs, Augsburg students may take part in
the Scandinavian Urban Studies Term and
through the Experiment in lnternational Living, Augsburg students are offered study programs in Colombia, Denmark, England,
France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Guatemala,
India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Nepal, Spain,
Taiwan, Turkey, and Yugoslavia. This type of
study must be approved before departure by
the Director of International Programs, one's
faculty adviser, and the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing. Credit earned
through foreign study may be applied to the
student's graduation requirements as electives, as elements of the major sequence, or to
satisfy some of the general education requirements.
SUMMER SCHOOL. Again there is a wide
variety of possibilities for those who wish to
spend a summer studying abroad. Recently
Augsburg students have spent summers in
Norway, Spain, Mexico, France, Greece, Germany, and England. Those interested in
further information should contact the Director of lnternational Programs.
INTERIM. Study abroad during the interim is
planned for each year. See listings under the
Augsburg Interim Catalog and in the brochure
on Interims Abroad issued each spring for the
following January.
Honors Program
Some special accelerated course sections are
available to freshman students with outstanding high school records. For superior students
of all class years, interdisciplinary honors
seminars are offered each term.
Several departments of the College offer programs through which the student can earn
honors in the major. The opportunity to do independent study in fields of interest is available throughout the College.
For students who apply for and receive special
status as Honors Scholars, general education
requirements are modified as necessary to
meet the student's needs and interests. Addi-
tional information on the honors program is

with majors in Medical Technology, Music
Therapy, and Social Work. Majors in Music
may select the program for either the Bachelor
of Arts or the Bachelor of Music degree. Graduates with majors in other fields receive the
Bachelor of Arts degree.
Your experiences in the classroom are major
influences in your college life. They need supplementing, however, by other activities and
opportunities. Whether as a resident student
or commuter, you'll find that the climate for
learning and living at Augsburg adds dimension to your education.
Social and Cultural
Throughout the year, avariety of social and
cultural activities takes place on campus as
well as in theTwin Cities. These activities include dances, special dinners, big name entertainment, and visiting personalities in various
fields.
The College Center is the focus of leisure-time
activity on campus. Offices for the College
newspaper, the Augsburg Echo, and the yearbook, the Augsburgian, are on the lower level.
Many of the clubs that unite classroom or nonclassroom related interests meet in the Center.
ation. An intramural program provides competition in avariety of team sports as well as
individual performance activities. Climaxing
the intramural program is the Extramural Meet,
a tournament for intramural winners at various
colleges.
Intercollegiate Athletics
Augsburg is a member of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC). The
College annually competes in ten sports, including football, soccer, cross country,
basketball, hockey, wrestling, baseball, track,
tennis, and golf. Augsburg is also a member of
the Minnesota Women's Intercollegiate
Athletic Association (MWIAA) and the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women
(AIAW). The women annually compete in
volleyball, gymnastics, basketball, badminton,
golf and tennis.
Religious Life.
There are several opportunities for participation in music and drama. In addition to campus and local performances, the Augsburg
Choir, Concert Band, and Orchestra tour
regularly. The String Ensemble, the Choral
Club, the Jazz Ensemble, and several studentorganized groups such as the Cabaret Singers
also perform on and off campus. Several plays
are given on campus each year under the
direction of the theater arts department.
An important part of daily life at Augsburg is
religious activity. The Religious Life Commission, chaired by a student and composed of
students and faculty, sees its major responsibility in relation to worship, devotional life,
and the stimulation of faith through discussion
and service. Chapel services are held four
times a week and are both experimental and
traditional in character. Students, faculty and
staff attend voluntarily.
Recreation
Student Sewices
Every student is urged to participate in some
activity for his or her own recreation and relax-
The staff of the Center for Student Development is available for personal, career, and
academic counseling and consultation on
questions of academic procedure, financial
problems, student activities, and residence
halls.
The Center for Student Development also provides avariety of programs focusing around
the themes of interpersonal identity, careerlifestyle planning, and utilizing the educational environment.
Reading and study skills assistance and tutoring are provided by the Center for Student
Development staff.
All members of the Augsburg faculty serve as
academic advisers. Advisers are assigned on
the basis of academic interests and students
are encouraged to establish close working
relationships with their adviser. The faculty
takes both a scholastic and personal interest
in students. Secondary Education students
may desire a second adviser: one in the major
and one in the area of education.
New Dimensions Program
The New Dimensions Program is for adults
who have not attended or who have not graduated from college. The program provides admissions counseling, career guidance and
planning, a simplified time-saving registration
procedure, on-the-job experience prior to
graduation, and, for those who desire it, a
special course to ease the transition to
academic life.
The transitional course, "The Adult Student:
Issues and Challenges," is offered several
times a year. It includes self-assessment, testing, counseling, training and practice in study
skills, career exploration, and discussion of
personal and family problems arising from the
return to school. The course enables returning
adults to get to know each other through sharing experiences, problems, hopes and aspirations.
For further information, contact the New
Dimensions Office at Augsburg.
Housing
Because Augsburg recognizes that a student's ability to respond to the learning environment depends, in part, upon his or her living conditions, a variety of housing alternatives is provided. The residence hall program
is designed to promote student growth
through relationships with other students and
being an active participant in group decision
making. Each residence unit has one or more
Resident Assistants who are able to facilitate
the process of group living as well as discuss
personal concerns with individual students.
Most new freshmen and many upperclassmen
live in Urness Tower. This eleven-story highrise houses 324. Each floor is considered a
house unit providing 36 students, two to a
room, with their own lounge, study, and utility
areas.
Mortensen Tower, the newest residence hall,
is an alternative to traditional residence hall
living. It contains 104 one- and two-bedroom
apartments to accommodate 312 upperclass
students.
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall houses about
60 upperclass men and women. Memorial's
special advantage is that it is large enough to
meet new people, but small enough to retain a
friendly, close atmosphere.
Another alternative option is Annex Housing
which provides a unique opportunity to try
group living. Groups of upperclass men or
women share living space, house responsibilities, and cooking. Houses are located in the
greater campus area.
Married student housing is available in annex
housing, Mortensen Tower and West Hall.
All freshmen and sophomores not living at
home are required to live in college-operated
housing.
Mortensen Tower is carpeted, air conditioned,
and contains kitchen units. It is otherwise unfurnished. In other residence halls or houses,
rooms are furnished except for bed linen,
towels, blankets, and bedspreads. Laundry
facilities are available in each residence. An
optional rental linen service is available to students in residence halls and annex housing
units.
Students engage a room at the beginning of
the fall term for the entire school year. New
students receive room assignments during the
summer before they enroll at Augsburg. Upperclass students make housing arrangements in the spring. All resident students must
sign housing contracts.
Freshmen and transfer students are urged to
make the tuition deposit by June30 in order to
secure housing. Students who deposit after
June 30 will be provided housing only if space
is available.
All students living on campus are required to
pay a $25 breakage and fine deposit when they
sign the housing contract. The fee is refunded
upon graduation, transfer to another institu-
tion, or discontinuing the educational program
at Augsburg if the condition of the room and
furniture is satisfactory and the key is returned.
Food Service
The Commons, situated on the top floor of the
College Center, is the main food service facility. This pleasant room features small table
units for easy conversation and overlooks the
College Quadrangle and Murphy Square. The
portions are generous and modestly priced.
Students on board plan living in residence
halls eat their meals in the Commons.
The Chinwag, located on the ground floor of
the Center, features short orders and is open
through the noon hour and in the evenings.
Augsburg provides avariety of board plan options for those living in College houses or
nearby apartments.
Admission to the College
Applying for admission to Augsburg College
is a simple procedure. Each application is
reviewed by the Admissions Office and students are accepted on the basis of high school
performance, promise of success in college as

An Early Decision Program is offered for students who select Augsburg as their first college choice and who will accept an offer of admission if it is extended. An Early Decision
candidate must apply by November 15 of the
senior year and will receive the admission
decision about December 1. After notification
of admission and adequate financial aid, if
needed, has been provided, the student must
agree to withdraw applications made to other

upon the academic record through the junior
year, test scores, and recommendations. A
$50.00 tuition deposit which is non-refundable

Early Admission
An Early Admission Program is offered for a
few high school juniors. To apply for Early Admission, astudent must have a high academic
record and test scores, recommendation from
the high school, and the maturity to cope with
acollege course after his junior year in high
school. Also, it is recommended that the student complete the requirements for a high
school diploma during the summer or during
the first year of college. A student applying for
Early Admission can take the Scholastic AptitudeTest in January or March of his junior
year.
Advanced Placement
Advanced placement is granted to students
who qualify, o n the basis of work taken in high
school or elsewhere, to enroll in courses
beyond the beginning level. Placement may be
determined by tests, or by the level and length
of the study previously completed.
Advanced Standing
College credit is granted to high school students who have successfully completed a college level course and who have scored high
on the Advanced Placement Examinations.
Augsburg will also award credit on the basis
of scores received on the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) offered by the College Entrance Examination Board. Requests
for detailed information may be addressed to
the Registrar at Augsburg.
About 70% of all Augsburg students receive
financial assistance from the college in the
form of scholarships, grants, loans, campus
employment, or a combination of these. Assistance is awarded on the basis of financial
need and academic record. Application for aid
is made by completing the Family Financial
Statement (FFS) of the American College Testing Program. While Augsburg College prefers
the FFS, students may instead submit the
Parents Confidential Statement (PCS) of the
College Scholarship Service to be considered
for financial aid. Upperclass students must
also complete the Augsburg Application for
Financial Aid.

1100 of the 1550 students at Augsburg
received scholarships or grants totaling
$915,000 from Augsburg and all other sources,

Registration
A student must be registered for a course in
order to receive credit for it.
A normal load is four courses per semester
and one course in the interim. Students
registered for.three or four courses in a
semester are classified as full-time students.
Although a student may register up to two
weeks after the semester begins, it is advantageous to do so at the regularly scheduled
time. A fee is charged for late registration. A
fee is also charged for changing registration,
i.e., cancelling or adding courses after the first
three days of the semester.
Students are urged not to abandon courses for
which they are registered. Abandoned courses
result in afailing grade. Cancellation of
courses or cancellation from College must be
done in the Registrar's Office.
Students who have completed at least seven
courses with a 2.0 average are classified as
sophomores, 16 as juniors, and 25 as seniors,
Probation and Dismissal
A student may be placed on scholastic probation at the end of a term if his achievement is
unsatisfactory.
below 1.6 or 2 zero grades
having taken 6 or fewer courses
SOPHOMORE, below 1.7 or 3 zero grades
having taken 7-15 courses
JUNIOR,
below 1.9 having taken 16-24
courses
SENIOR,
below 2.0 having taken 25 or
more courses
FRESHMAN,
If a student has been on probation two or more
semesters consecutively, be is subject to dismissal at the end of the following spring term.
A student who has a poor academic record
may be strongly advised to withdraw before
the end of spring term.
Dismissal from the College will not be automatic. Each case will be reviewed by the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing.
A student who has been on probation for two
terms and withdraws from the College voluntarily must have special permission to reenroll.
Grading
Most courses are graded on a scale of 4.0 to 0
with definitions as follows:
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.
.5
0
Unacceptable performance (no credit for
the course).
Most courses are also offered on a PassINo
Credit system, with P meaning a grade of 2.0
or better and N meaning no credit and a grade
of less than 2.0. On the PIN grading system the
grade is not computed in the grade point
average.
A student may count a maximum of eight
courses of P toward graduation. For transfer
students the maximum is an average of two
courses per year.
Sociology 383, some education courses and
several interim courses are graded only on the
PIN grading system. Students are cautioned to
use the PIN grade option with care since some
graduate and professional schools do not look
favorably on a large number of P-graded
courses.
Students must indicate on their registration
card those courses which they wish to take on
the PIN grading system. Any changes in
choice of grading system must be made during the first two weeks of the semester. A fee is
charged after the first three days of classes.
An incomplete grade (I) may be given only in
the case of extreme emergency. To receive an
I grade, a student must file a petition with the
Committee on Admissions and Student Standing stating the reasons for requesting it, the
plan and.date for removing it, and comments
from the instructor of the course. If permission
to receive an I grade is granted, it must be
removed during the following semester.
A grade of X may be given for an Independent
Study or Directed Study course that is to be
spread over more than one semester. Such a
course must be completed during the second
semester or the grade of X will remain on the
record.
A course in which a grade of 0 , l .O, 1.5, N, I, or
X has been received may be repeated for credit. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are counted toward graduation and
in the grade point average. Courses in which
higher grades have been earned may not be
repeated for credit; they may, however, be
audited.
Graduation With Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined as
follows:
Summa cum laude
Magna cum laude
Cum laude
3.9 - 4.0 grade average
3.6 - 3.89 grade average
3.3 - 3.59 grade average
lndependent Study
lndependent study programs are offered by
many departments in the College. These programs are often available to conscientious
students who can demonstrate sufficient
background and preparation in a given field to
carry out work on an independent basis. Students interested in registering for independent
study must first secure permission from the
faculty member who will direct the study as
well as from the department involved.
A student who registers for independent study
should normally expect to complete it in one
semester but may extend it into the next term
by permission of the instructor. In such cases,
a grade of X is given at the end of the first
term, and the student will register again for the
course in order to receive the final grade.
A maximum of two courses in lndependent
Study may count toward the 35 courses required for the degree.
In the Five College Cooperative Program, students may cross-register for independent studies only when the major field in which the independent study is proposed is not available
on their home campus. Requests for exceptions to this policy should be made directly to
their own academic dean. The student will be
charged for any special costs attached to independent study by the host campus.

General Information
PURPOSE
Augsburg College is a four-year liberal arts college sponsored
by the Lutheran Free Church for the purpose of giving young
people an opportunity to obtain a broad education in a Christian
environment. In addition to a general education, students may prepare themselves for such vocations as high school teaching, business administration, medical technology, secretarial work, parish
work, missions, and social work. They may prepare for further
study in the fields of dentistry, engineering, law, medicine, nursing, and theology, as well as for graduate study in various fields.
The Skminary, with its facilities on the same campus, offers a
three-year rheological course leading to a Bachelor of Theology
degree. Its purpose is to prepare pastors and missionaries for the
Lutheran Free Ohurch.
LOCATION
Augsburg College and Theological Seminary is located in the
Riverside Park area of South Minneapolis, across the Mississippi
River from the University of Minnesota and within walking distance of the main business section of the city. Science Hall, containing the administration offices, is located at the corner of Seventh Street and Twenty-first Avenue South. Augsburg students
have the advantage of getting their college education in a metropolitan center pulsating with industrial, social, and cultural activities. They have access to libraries, museums, and art collections.
They may hear the best in music and lectures. Minneapolis is
recognized throughout the nation as a vital center of religious
life and activity. Outstanding leaders in many fields both from
other parts of America and from foreign countries are frequent
visitors. College students in the Twin Cities have abundant opportunity to contact present day life at one of its focal points.
HISTORICAL SKETCH
Augsburg was begun as a seminary in I 869, at Marshall, W'~sconsin. It was the first theological seminary started by Norwegian
Lutherans in America. Through an arrangement with a private
institution known as Marshall Academy the Seminary was housed
in the academy building. Students who needed further preparation in academic subjects were to obtain this in the academy. This
arrangement failed to work out satisfactorily; so the theological
group moved to a private dwelling, where classes continued until
1872. In the autumn of that year the Seminary was removed to
Minneapolis, Minnesota, where a building had been erected for its
use. In the same year the school was incorporated under the laws
of Minnesota. The aim of the institution was to train ministers
for the Lutheran congregations which were being organized in
growing numbers in the pioneer settlements that were spreading
rapidly over the Northwest.
The college was established when it became evident that in order
to get students who were adequately prepared for theological
study a college department was needed. So in 1874 a college curriculum was planned which provided for one year of preparatory
studies and four years of college work along two lines, a classical
course to prepare students for theology, and a scientific course to
prepare for the professions. The latter course, however, had to be
discontinued, partly for lack of funds and partly because too
few students selected the course. The first college students were
enrolled in 1874 and the first class was graduated in 1879.
In 1900 a high school course covering three years was established
which in 1910 was expanded to a standard four-year course. This
was discontinued in 1933. In the years 1916-1919 the college
course was thoroughly revised. As a result of this and of subsequent growth, the earlier classical course was greatly modified and
supplemented by social and scientific studies and a more general
emphasis upon the study of the humanities. In recent years there
has ,been continuous study and modification of the curriculum including the introduction of a number of new majors to meet the
developing needs of the students. The Divisional organization was
adopted in 1945. At the present time majors are offered in 17 fields.
Coeducation was introduced in the College in 1921.
In the Theological Seminary there has likewise been a continuing revision of the curriculum and the addition of new courses.
The requirement of a six-month period of internship was added
in 1939. Standards of admission have ,been raised so that a bachelor's degree or equivalent is now the required scholastic preparation. While the Theological Seminary has its own organization, the
Seminary and the College function in close cooperation. Long
experience has proved this arrangement to be mutually wholesome
and stimulating.
Five presidents have served Augsburg during the course of its
history. The terms of o6ce of two of these cover a span of over
half a century. The first president was August Weenaas, who
served from 1869 to 1876. He was succeeded by Georg Sverdrup,
1876 to 1907. Sven Oftedal served from 1907 to 1911 and was
followed by George Sverdru~,whose term extended from 191I to
1937. H. N. Hendrickson served as acting president from 1937
until 1938. Bernhard Christensen, the present president, has served
since that time.
FUNDAMENTAL AIMS
The educational purposes of Augsburg College and Theological
Seminary spring from the conviction that Christianity is the fundamental force for good in human life. All the aims of the College,
as well as those of the Seminary, are bound together by this principle. To express more distinctly the meaning of this, the following statement of aims has been formulated by the College faculty:
T o lead the student to cr deeper understanding and personal
realization of the truth and pvwer of the Chistian Gospel, to
the end that he may become an eeective participant in the
evangelical and missionary task of the Church and an earnest
advocate of the Christian way of life both for the individual and
for society.
To familiarize the student with the clcltare of our own and
other civilizatiolts, not only for the enjoyment this knowledge
affords but also for the development of a more sympathetic
understanding of our fellow men throughout the world.
T o develop the student's ittterest in the attahment of the
comnum pwposes of our counhy, so that he may work for the
welfare of our institutions and for the preservation of our
liberties in community and nation, and also develop an enlightened interest and participation in human affairs throughout the rest of the world.
T o cdtivate in the student a Christian social spirit, in order
that he may realize in his life a right balance between what he
expects of others and the service he will render his fellow men.
To teach t h e student t o discipline his own urges, interests,
amhtiuns, and demands in a way that will effectively contribute toward the development of good character.
To train t h e student in scientific methods of study and also
develop his understanding of the relations of science to the
welfare of humanity.
To stimulate intellectual interest and develop s c h o l l y insight, so that the student may learn to think with accuracy
and comprehension a t the same time as he experiences an understanding of truth which will help him to integrate the findings of science with the deepest spiritual reality.
To awaken and foster in the student a n intelligent appreciation and enjoyment of t h e best in t h e fields of t h e fine arts.
T o guide the student in the understanding of social relationships in order that he may take his place in groups and gatherings with propriety and grace, motivated in his conversation
and conduct by the principles of Christian courtesy and sincerity.
T o provide guidance fw the student in the discovery and
clarification of his aptitudes and his life Purposes so that as
early as possible he may plan his educational program wisely.
T o train students in vocational and professicmaZ lines, giving full preparation for high school teaching, business administration, home economics, and parish work; furnishing partial
training towards the study of medicine, dentistry, nursing, engineering, law, and social service, and offering a four-year
college course preparing for the study of theology.
T o help the student develop certain skills, as in language,
music, physical activities, use of the library, laboratory work,
and typewriting, together with other skills, which will increase
his eaciency in the various relationships of life.
T o agord t h e student wholesome recreational experience which
will contribute toward an effective use of leisure time and develop such qualities as leadership, sportsmanship, and self-control, with good recreational habits, thus providing a constant
source of social and personal satisfaction.
T o instruct t h e student in principles, attitudes, and ideas
pertaining to health, and also to train him in practices and
skills which will promote his physical and mental well-being
and make him better fit to meet the responsibilities of life.
The work of the whole institution, both the Seminary and the
College, is done on the basis of Christianity. The students who
come are invited to take up their college work with the distinct
understanding that the Christian spirit is determining in all things.
They are asked to cooperate willingly in the program of the school
towards that end. The entire program of the school, curricular and
extra-curricular, and the discipline thought wise in order to make
possible the carrying out of this program, spring from the aim "to
see all things through the eyes of Christ."
Enrollment in Augsburg College and Theological Seminary presupposes on the part of the student full cooperation in the ways
prescribed for the attainment of these aims.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND CONTROL
From I 870 to I 890, Augsburg was supported by the NorwegianDanish Lutheran Conference. The merger of that church body
with two others, in 1890, resulted in the afdiation of Augsburg
with the newly created United Norwegian Lutheran Church. Due
to cMerences concerning the control of Augsburg a division arose,
and in x 897 congregations whose sympathia were deeply rooted in
Augsburg formed the Lutheran Free Church. The resulting close
association, in educational and spiritual activity, of Augsburg and
the Lutheran Free Church has been marked by complete harmony
of purpose and ideals for more than half a century.
The control exercised by the Lutheran Free Church is indirect.
The Annual Conference of the Church nominates the members
of the Augsburg Corporation and the Board of Trustees. The Corporation through the Board of Trustees exercises direct control
over property, finance, and personnel. Academic control is vested
in the President and the Faculty.
In addition to the income from student tuition and fees, which
has materially increased with the growth and development of the
College, rhe chief financial support of the institution comes from
the congregations of the Lutheran Free Church. In recent years a
growing circle of friends also outside the Lutheran Free Church,
both alumni and others, have contributed financially to the sup-
port of the school. Augsburg welcomes and invites such support on
the part of all who believe in her program of vital Christian education.
MEMBERSHIP IN EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS.
Augsburg College is fully accredited by rhe North Central Association of Colleges and Secondmy Schools as a degree-granting
institution. It is a member of the Association of American Colleges, the National Lurheran Educational Conference, the Association of Minnesota colleges, and the State Council of Minnesota Colleges.
THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The Augsburg Alumni Association has as its goal to enable the
graduates of the College and Seminary to maintain effective contact and cooperation with one another and with their A h a Mater.
The annual meeting is held at Commencement time each year.
Regional meetings also are held from time to time.
The present ogcers are: Henry J. Bertness, President; Esther
Aune, Vice-president; Marian Lowrie, Recording Secretary; Gloria
Nelson, Harvey Peterson, and Kennet,h Sorenson, Advisers.
THE AUGSBURG FOUNDATION
The Augsburg Foundation, formerly the Augsburg Foundation
Fellowship, is an association of alumni, former students, and other
friends of Augsburg, having as its purpose to give united and
systematic support, ,both spiritual and financial, to the school. The
Foundation was estgblished in 1941 by joint action of the Board
of Trustees and the Alumni Association. Its work is directed by a
General Committee of nine members. A Foundation Day is held
each year.
EDUCATIONAL PLANT
BUILDINGS
The Main, erected in 1900, contains the Chapel, the Library,
the Seminary classrooms and oflices, and a number of college classrooms and oflices.
Science Hall, erected in 1948-49, is a large and completely modern college building. It includes, besides the administration of-
fices, well-equipped laboratories for Chemistry, Physics, Biology,
and Home Economics, as well as the student organization &ces,
the Student Center, a small auditorium, classrooms, and faculty
osces. On the fourth floor is the Tower Prayer Chapel.
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall, erected in 1938, is a modem,
fireproof dormitory affording living quarters for about 150 men.
On the ground floor of this building is the college cafeteria and
dining hall.
Sivertsen Hall, acquired in 1939, is a comfortable dormitory
accommodating about 50 women.
Morton Hall, erected in 1888, Edda House, purchased and
remodeled in 1948, and Miriam House, acquired in 195 I, are
smaller dormitories for women, each accommodating about 20
students.
During 1947 two new buildings were added, both located on
~ 3 r Avenue
d
across the Square from the older part of the Campus.
The Gymnasium, an adequate temporary structure, was erected for
the College by the Federal Works Agency as a part of a program
providing educational facilities for veterans. The Music Hall was
acquired by purchase and remodeled to serve the needs of the
Music Department.
Quite a number of dwellings have been acquired in recent years
in the expanded campus area, which are used for faculty and
student housing until this need can be met through more permanent structures. Also three temporary housing units have been
erected by the Federal Works Agency on the campus ground.
The President's Home, a residence of modern architectural
design, located at the south of the Square, was erected in 1949.
Some years ago the beginning was made of a Museum for the
school. Members of the Alumni Association have presented many
t
s
. There are several collections: a Madagascar Cdvaluable d
lection, a Santal Collection, and a considerable collection of rare
minerals, curios, etc. Contributions to the Museum are invited.
In the spring of 1929 the Augsburg Archive Society was organized. The purpose of this organization is to gather and preseme
documents, books, and other articles of historical value. To house
the Archives a fire-proof room which was provided in the Main
has been replaced recently by a large room on the ground floor of
Science Hall. Here are now found a fine collection of periodicals,
old and rare books, manuscripts, letters, and pictures, and also
about I ,000 volumes of Norwegian-American literature, affording rich resources for scholarly research. Further contributions
to the Archives should be sent to Prof. Iver Olson, Archivist.
The collections in the Library aggregate about 27,700 volumes
exclusive of pamphlets.
About three hundred of the best periodicals, and pamphlets dealing with various subjects, and a number of serials devoted to the
interests of special fields are received currently.
Students have access to the Library daily from 7:45 A. M. to
1o:oo P. M. On Saturday the Library closes at 4:30 P. M.
In the Twin City area other libraries are located-which make
their holdings available to Augsburg students, notably, the St.
Paul and Minneapolis public libraries, the latter of which issues
library cards to out-of-town students for each school year; the
James Hill Reference Library in St. Paul, which has one of the
finest reference collections in the Northwest; and the University
of Minnesota Library, which is within walking distance of the
Augsburg campus and is a splendid source of materials for research
papers. Each year Augsburg students make extensive use of all
these libraries.
NATURALSCIENCELABORATORIES
The laboratories of the Natural Sciences are located in the
Science Hall.
Three laboratories and two storerooms for Biology are located
on the second floor; three laboratories and a large storeroom for
Chemistry, and a laboratory and the .two storerooms for Physics
are located on the third floor.
To facilitate instruction the college provides many excellent
visual and auditory aids. Available for classroom use, and for the
use of other college activities, are the following: Two 16mm.
sound movie projectors, two 3 I/4x4 inch slide projectors, three
2x2 slide projectors, a Balopticon, a sound amplification system,
two film strip projectors, and a magnetic tape recording machine.
There is also a well equipped photography department.
The Auditorium in Science Hall is fully equipped for visual
education classes and lectures. Several classrooms are dso provided
with facilities for projection.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS OF STUDY
Evening classes are held as a community sexvice for adults not
enrolled in the day school. Announcement of course to be offered

at the Lutheran Deaconess and Swedish Hospitals in Minneapolis receive much of their
first semester of instruction at Augsburg College. Application for
admission to the Schools of Nursing should be made to the hospitals directly.
In cooperation with the Minneapolis General Hospital, Augsburg offers work which enables the student to receive a college
degree with a major in Medical Technology. The first three years
of this work are taken at Augsburg and a final twelve-month program is completed at the hospital.-
Financial Information
STUDENT EXPENSES
A considerable part of the income on whiah Augsburg operates
is derived from endowment and from gifts, a major part of the
latter coming from the supporting church. Therefore, the fees
charged the student do not constitute h e whole cost of his education, for he enjoys the benefits of the gifts of those who 'believe
in and support rhe work of the school. Fm theological students,
the church assumes the full cost of tuition; a statement of other
expenses in attending the seminary is given in the Seminary section of the catalog.

Student Community Life
1

CHRISTIAN ENVIRONMENT
The influences which mould life and character on a college campus are of many kinds. While the exercises of classroom, laboratory,
and library form the organizing basis of college activity, they need
to be supplemented by other than academic forces. These intangible
but very real supplementary iQuences have much t o do with
creating the spirit of an institution. At Augsburg d e h i t e emphasis is placed upon the maintenance of a wholesome spirit of
Christian community living. Students are urged to give conscious
attention to this personal and spiritual side of their development
and thus contribute toward the prevalence of a vital and happy
Christian atmosphere on the campus.
It is the earnest desire of those who direct the policies of Augsburg that the institution may constantly be permeated by an atmosphere in which the quest for Truth as it is in Christ is prayerf d y fostered in each life.
All students are required to register for two class hours per week
in one of the courses offered in Religion. There are numerous voluntary religious activities in which students are encouraged to
participate. Spiritual Emphasis Week is held twice each year. It is
assumed that every Augsburg student will h d a church home
in Minneapolis and attend its services regularly.
I t is expected of each student that his life, conduct, and influence, both on and 06 campus, shall be worthy of a member of a
Christian College. Those who do not feel drawn to this quality
of life and to the fellowship in which it is nourished should not
seek to be enrolled at Augsburg. A truly Christian spirit and
environment must be the product of the united effort and prayer
of faculty, students, and administration.
THE CHAPEL SERVICE
The heart of Augsburg's program of Christian education is the
daily Chapel Service, where the faculty and students gatfier for
united worship, prayer, and a brief meditation upon the Word of
God. Regular attendance is expected of all students.
DISCIPLINE
The Christian ideals of Augsburg give no room for such demoralizing practices as gambling, drinking, frequenting of public
dances, indiscriminate attendance at movies, and objectionable
card playing. Students enrolled at Augsburg are expected, therefore, not to participate in such practices.
Augsburg reserves the right to dismiss or to discipline any student who is not amenable to advice and direction. The school likewise reserves the right to dismiss any student whose general conduct or influence is unwholesome. Such a student may be removed
although no formal charge is made against him.
CULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES
Augsburg's location in Minneapolis gives its students unique
opportunities to make use of some of the finest educational and
cultural advantages offered in the Upper Midwest. Excellent
art collections are to be found in The Minneapolis Institute of
Arts and the Walker Art Gallery. The Twin City libraries are
large and extensive in their services. The Historical Museum in
St. Paul gives access to large collections of historical material. The
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra programs and other concerts
afford rich opportunity for music appreciation.
In the Twin Cities are located both the University of Minnesota
and several colleges, affording contacts which are conducive to intellectual and cultural stimulus and development.
CONVOCATION
Regular convocation programs are held at Augsburg throughout
the year. These programs aim to acquaint the campus community
with outstanding personalities and problems in various fields. A
wide range of interests is covered, including the scientiiic, political,
social, religious, and artistic.
RECREATION AND SOCIAL LIFE
"No man is a hypocrite in his pleasures." To learn to enjoy the
right form of recreational activities is an important aspect of preparation for life. At Augsburg there is a definite attempt to encourage the formation of helpful recreational habit-patterns, not
only as regards the definitely planned play-program supervised and
directed by the Department of Physical Education, but as regards
the use of leisure time in general. Wholesale social activities of of
many kinds are fostered and encouraged.
STUDENT AREAS
The Student Center, the Student Council Room, the Augsburgian and Augsburg Echo Offices in Science Hall are headquarters
for many student events and provide opportunity for students,
both campus and city, to meet informally and to promote student
activities. The recreation room at Sivertsen Hall, the gymnasium,
the Dining Hall, and the reception rooms in the various residences
provide opportunities for informal social gattherings and for study
and discussion groups.
The Tower Prayer Chapel in Science Hall is open during the day
for times of quiet and meditation. Smaller groups may request the
use of the chapel for devotional meetings.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES

student activities.

Imtercollegiate Athletics. Augsburg is a member of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The college is represented annually by teams in football, basketball, baseball, track,
tennis, and golf.
It is the purpose of Augsburg to provide an intercollegiate
athletic program which is in harmony with its Christian philosophy. This philosophy is to 'be reflected in the conduct and outlook of lboth the players and =he spectators. The educational program of the college recognizes that recreation and play are a
fundamental part of human life, and that t'&s phase of life needs
to be cultivated if physical, mental, and emotional health are to
be maintained. Intercollegiate athletics, as a phase of that program, gives recognition to the fact that competitive play can contribute to the development of student interests, skills, insights, and
loyalties.
More specifically, the following outcomes are sought: ( I ) The
student participating in athletics should acquire and exhibit, 'both
in and out of athletics, such ,basic qualities of character as self-
discipline, honesty, sense of fair play, and cmperation. ( 2 ) The
participant should develop the knowledge, interests, and skills
which will be of special use to him in such vocations as teaching
and coaching or recreational leadership, or in his own recreational
activities. Far from being set apart from his educational goal or in
any way competing with it, the student's participation in intercollegiate athletics must either contribute directly to this goal or
be complementary to his other educational activities. ( 3 ) The student spectator should acquire and exhibit some of the finer qualities of Christian character, such as self-restraint, sense of fair play,
appreciation of high grade performance on the part of both opponents and fellow-students, and respect for individual personality.
(4) The intercollegiate a~hleticprogram should contribute to the
development of a unified and healthy "schml spirit". Enthusiasm
for intercollegiate athletics or other cocurricular activities should
not overshadow pride in high scholastic achievement, nor can it
take the place of a well-rounded and effective intramural and general recreational program.

developing Christian concepts of brotherhood, with speakers for

Student Personnel Services
ADMINISTRATION
College students face many new opportunities and not a few
problems. Some problems disappear soon after the student has
enrolled .but in many cases others appear during the four years
of college. In order to help students to make the most of the
opportunities and to provide help in the solution of problems,
Augsburg College has developed a number of services for students.
These include Freshman orientation, vocational and aptitude testing, counseling, housing and food service, health service, recreation
and leisure time activities, hancial aids, student employment service, and extra-curriculdr activities. Graduating seniors and alumni
benefit from the services of the Placement Oflice. The administrative phase of these services is centered in the of6ce of the Dean
of Students. Plans and policy are formulated by the Student Personnel Committee.

Freshmen and other new students participate in "Freshman
Days" before the beginning of classes in the fall semester. The
students take tests, inspect the college facilities, and become acquainted with heir fellow students, with the faculty, and especially with their own faculty counselors. Several conferences with
the faculty counselors are scheduled for the students, during
which they plan their program of study.
All freshmen enroll-in a class in Orientation. In this course,
the students learn about standards and requirements of various
areas of college life. Methods and habits of study and related
techniques are explored. Personal health, social adjustment, personal
finances and vocational aims are discussed.

advisers. The deans and other administrative oi3icers are general
counselors to all students.
The Faculty counselor helps the student plan his educational
program in accordance with 'his life aims and interests. The student {becomesaware of his own abilities and aptitudes through the

use of a vocational interest test. An Occupational Information

Introduction
Few liberal arts colleges combine the
excitement and vitality of a metropolitan
center with the smallness and intimacy of
the rural setting. Augsburg i s one of the
few, very special Christian colleges which
can offer you both.
The small college atmosphere enables
you to be a participant or a spectator at a
variety of events and activities. Exhibitions, concerts, films, and lectures are
regularly available to you on campus,
as are intercollegiate or intramural athletic
programs.
Religious activities are a vital part of the
campus. The Religious Life Commission
has been established by the Student
Government to oversee, stimulate and
perpetuate religious life on the Augsburg
campus. Its primary purpose and goal is
neither self-serving nor self-sustaining,
but rather furthering the ministry of
Christ on the Augsburg campus.
You, the student, are an individual at
Augsburg. You design your own learning
experience. While distributional and
major requirements act as guidelines,
there is latitude to design a portion of
your own education.
At Augsburg, the innovative and experimental as well as the individual are
central. The college follows the calendar
known as the "4-1-4."
In the study of the liberal arts, you will
encounter ideas and experiences from
the whole range of human knowledge.
The liberal arts education, however, i s
more than an education of knowledge
from a number of fields. Augsburg recognizes that concentration i s necessary in
your chosen field. You may choose from a
variety of majors for hundreds of career
possibilities.
Augsburg i s in the center of the Twin
Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. In this
metropolitan setting, a rich kaleidoscope
of resources and activities is available to
enrich your education, if you choose. You
may select an evening at the Guthrie
Theater, the Brave New Workshop, or at
any of the many galleries or coffee
houses. You might spend an afternoon
touring the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
You may choose a concert by the Minnesota Orchestra or one by the many professional touring groups that appear in
the Twin Cities. There are numerous
opportunities for individual and team
sports. Professional sports are also available - the Twins, the Vikings, the North
Stars, and the Kicks.
Thus, we feel Augsburg is a distinctive
combination: a strong academic program, a capable and dedicated staff, an
eager student body and a remarkable
location.

Academic Life
Augsburg i s a modern well-equipped
college which aims to provide its students
with a broad liberal arts education as well
as prepare them for a career. A strong
academic program in the arts and sciences
and in theology is available. Pre-professional preparation for such fields as
engineering, medicine, law and t h e
Christian ministry i s offered. The College
prepares students for graduate study in
several disciplines. Preparation f o r
careers i n business, communications,
medical technology, music, nursing,
occupational therapy, social work, and
teaching is available.
Augsburg seeks t o assist its students
through their academic experience t o
better understand themselves and the
world and to equip them t o serve accordi n g t o their individual interests and
abilities.
The Student as Learner
A great deal has been written during the
last few years describing the responsibilities of a college to i t s students. Augsburg
recognizes its task to provide consistently
high quality opportunities for learning
along with support systems which enhance the teaching-learning process.
Learning is not, however, a commodity
which can be purchased. It i s not equal t o
simply buying so many courses and being
exposed to the activities of professors.
Learning involves t h e solitary i n n e r
struggle of the student who investigates,
analyzes and synthesizes the materials
and insights offered. When these have
become one's own and when the learner
moves on to new personal insights, then
learning has taken place.
Both the school and the student have
responsibilities i n this process. Neither
party can elude its basic task.
Faculty
Augsburg has an able faculty who try t o
take a personal interest i n their students.
The student-faculty ratio i s approximately
15.5 t o 1, with class size averaging 25 or
less.
Augsburg faculty members serve as
academic advisers and are available for
help on individual problems. They often
join students in discussing the political
climate, comparing notes on a visiting
speaker, or talking over the latest sports
victory while having coffee.
Library Services
Augsburg has a well-equipped library.
A relaxed atmosphere, a helpful staff and
friendly student library assistants make
the library a favorite place t o study. The
main library, centrally located next to the
Science Hall, houses over 150,000volumes
including books, periodicals, records and
various other media. The Music and
Chemistry libraries are located within the
departmental areas.
Access to over a million volumes i s available via daily interloan and courier service
among the seven private liberal arts colleges and the Hill Reference Library.
Through Minitex, the statewide network,
the additional resources of Minnesota
and Wisconsin libraries are accessible t o
the Augsburg faculty and students.
A service-dedicated staff p r o v i d e s
students with assistance to meet diverse
information needs including instruction
in the use of the library, standard reference service, guidance i n pursuing term
paper topics, and directions t o other local
sources of information,
The AV Center of the Library provides
facilities for classes in broadcasting and
audio-visual materials. Assistance with the
production of slides, transparencies, filmstrips and audiohide0 tape recordings
are available f o r b o t h f a c u l t y and
students. Equipment such as movie and
slide projectors and tape recorders may
be borrowed for limited periods; film
bibliographies and other advice o n
materials selection are also available.
The 4-1-4 Calendar
Augsburg follows the 4-1-4 calendar. Two
15-week semesters are separated by a 4week interim in January. During each
semester the student generally enrolls i n
four courses; during the interim concentration i s on one subject.
The interim period is an especially exciting time. The whole world becomes an
arena of learning. Creative energies and
individual interests determine the course
of study. Innovation and experimentation
are encouraged in this change from the
general academic schedule. Interest i n
music may take form in the study and
presentation of a concert program. Interest i n people may find form i n the study
and participation i n activities of a social
agency. Newspapers and advertising
agencies provide opportunities for those
interested' i n communications. Whether
your interests are sedate or spectacular
the interim will afford the opportunity t o
experience and experiment while learning.
General Education
Requirements
Distribution requirements for graduation
are minimal, affording the student considerable f r e e d o m i n t h e choice o f
courses. A student seeking a liberal arts
education would probably choose many
of them even if they were not required.
I n the humanities area, students may
select courses i n literature, philosophy,
art, music, foreign languages, speech,
drama, and religion. Science courses may
be chosen f r o m biology, chemistry,
mathematics, or physics. Courses in social
and behavioral sciences are offered i n
science, psychology and sociology.
Proficiency in English writing must be
demonstrated. O n e course f r o m an
approved list of courses containing an

area. Whether you are a resident or commuter student, you'll find that the climate
for learning and living at Augsburg can
add dimension to your education.
Religious Life
An important part of daily life at Augsburg
is religious activity. The Religious Life
Commission, chaired by students and
composed of students and faculty, sees its
major responsibility in relation t o worship, devotional life and the stimulation of
faith. Chapel services are held three times
a week and are both experimental and
traditional in character. The Wednesday
evening Eucharist service in the College
Center i s a valued worship experience for
many students. Students, faculty and staff
participate voluntarily. Special events are
sponsored throughout the year and a
number of groups having a religious
emphasis meet regularly. The Campus
Pastor has an office in the College Center
where you can contact him for counseling, consultation or ways to get more
involved.
Social and Cultural
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, special dinners,
name entertainment, and visiting personalities in various fields.
The College Center is the focus of leisuretime activity on campus. Offices for the
College newspaper, the Augsburg Echo,
and the yearbook, the Augsburgian, are
on the lower level. Many of the clubs that

Student Services
Augsburg College i s concerned with educating the whole person and recognizes
that the context i n which learning takes
place i s a critical factor in achieving optimal growth. Knowledge growsfrom more
than intellectual endeavors. Expanding
relationships, exploring values, identifying life styles, developing autonomy and
interdependence, finding purpose and
commitment - all combine with intellectual content and skills t o produce the
desired educational impact of the college
on its students.
The Division of Student Affairs has been
created t o support this task. During the
summer before your freshman year, or at
the time of transfer, you will receive a
copy of SEMAPHORE: Student Guide t o a
College Education. This book will help
you assess the possibilities in your education, choices t o make, directions t o
consider and different destinations for
which t o plan. SEMAPHORE was designed
to act as a sort of road map for you.
The Center for Student Development
provides a variety of services t o help make
your journey as rich and meaningful as
possible. Some of the opportunities you
may wish to participate in are listed
below.
Summer Orientation. You can plan your
first academic year and register for classes.

Housing which provides a unique opportunity to try group living. Groups of
upperclass men or women share living

Environmental Concerns, Men's and
Women's Awareness, International Living,
Simplified Life Styles, and Scandinavian
Studies.

Writing down realistic estimates of all
expenses and of all potential financial
resources i s the best way to do your

amounts for tuition and fees and for
books and supplies. Tuition and fees for

supplies may be estimated at $225 per
year. Room and board is $1620 per year.
Other college-related expenses are those
for transportation to and from the campus. Estimates should be based on nine
months.
Personal maintenance costs vary, but
amounts should be budgeted for:
Clothing, cleaning
Recreation, entertainment
Personal spending, cosmetics,
incidentals
Medical (doctors, dentists, eyeglasses,
etc.)
After you have written down estimates of
your expenses, make a list of all possible
sources of income, such as: contributions
from parents' earnings; personal and
family savings; personal earnings during
vacation periods; earnings from part-time
jobs during academic year; benefits from
Social Security and/or Veteran's Administration; aids or loans from sources other
than family, friends or Augsburg (i.e.,
scholarships from state, church, civic and
school).
Students should check with their employers, their parents' employers and any
union to which a family member belongs
for possible scholarship programs. High
school guidance counselors may have
information about student aid offered by
church, civic, professional, or fraternal
organizations in a given locality. Following
you will find a summary of financial aid
programs.

receive permission to register for more
than 4.5 courses.

weeks after the semester begins, it is
advantageous to register at the regularly
scheduled time. A fee is charged for late
registration. A fee i s also charged for
changing registration, i.e., cancelling or
adding courses after the first five days of
the semester.
Students are urged not t o abandon

Dismissal from the College will not be
automatic. Each case will be reviewed by
the Committee on Admissions and
Student Standing.
A student who has been on probation for
two terms and withdraws from the College voluntarily must havespecial permission to re-enroll.
Evaluation and Grading
Student achievement in courses i s measured, primarily, by means of final examinations. Shorter examinations or tests,
written papers, oral reports, and other
types of evaluation are also used.
Most courses are graded on a scale of 4.0
to 0 with definitions as follows:
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.
.5
0. Unacceptable performance (no
credit for the course).
Most courses are also offered on a Pass/
No Credit system, with P meaning a grade
of 2.0 or better and N meaning no credit
and a grade of less than 2.0. On the P/N
grading system the grade is recorded but
not computed in the grade point average.
A student may count a maximum of eight
courses of Ptoward graduation. For transfer students the maximum i s an average of
two courses per year. Two courses in the
major (except Elementary Education) and
one in the minor may be on P/N grading
system if approved by the department
chairperson.
Sociology 383, and several interim courses
are graded only on the P/N grading system. Some education courses are graded
only on the P/N system; some others
are graded only only P, 1.0, N. Eng. Ill i s
graded P or N, or 2.0-4.O/N. Students may
select the traditional grading system in
most other courses. Students are cautioned to use the P/N grade option with care
since some graduate and professional
schools do not look favorably on a large
number of P-graded courses.
Students must indicate on their registration form those courses which they wish
to take on the P/N grading system. Any
changes in choice of grading system must
be made according to dates published
each term. A fee i s charged after the first
five days of classes.
Music organizations and performance
studies, Chemistry Seminar and Lifetime
Sports are graded P/O.O.
An incomplete grade (I)may be given
only in the case of extreme emergency. To
receive an I grade, a student must file a
petition with the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing stating the
reasons for requesting it, the plan and
date for removing it, and comments from
the instructor of the course. If permission
to receive an 1 grade is granted, it must be
removed during the following semester.
If the incomplete is not removed during
the following semester, it becomes the
grade submitted by the teacher along
with the incomplete.
A grade of X may be given for an Independent Study or Directed Study course
that is to be spread over more than one
semester. Such a course must be completed during the second semester or the
grade of X will remain on the record.
A course in which a grade of 0,1.0,1.5, N,
1, or X has been received may be repeated
for credit. All courses taken remain on the
academic record. Only the credits and
grades earned the second time are counted toward graduation and in the grade
point average. Courses i n which higher
grades have been earned may not be
repeated for credit; they may, however,
be audited.
Students who wish t o !ake courses without credit or grade may do so by register-
ing for Audit (V). Such students should
confer with the professor within two
weeks of the beginning of the term to
determine expectations, attendance requirement, etc. If expectations have been
met, the course will be listed on the
student's transcript as having been
audited. If expectations have not been
met, the course will be listed witti a grade
of W (withdrawn).
Full-time students may audit a course
without charge. The charge for part-time
students i s listed under Expenses.
Dean's List
The Dean's List i s composed of students
whose grade point average for a semester
is 3.5 or better based on a minimum of
three full courses (or equivalent) graded
on the traditional grading system, with no
incompletes in courses offered for credit.
The Dean's List i s published in the Augsburg College Now, and students receive a
letter of commendation from the Dean of
the College.

In order to qualify for graduation with
distinction transfer students must have
completed two years (fourteen graded
courses) of work at Augsburg College.
l ndependent Study
Independent study programs are offered
by many departments in the College.
These programs are often available to
conscientious students who can demonstrate sufficient background and preparation in a given field to carry out work on
an independent basis. Students interested
in registering for independent study must
first secure permission from the faculty
member who will direct the study as well
as from the department involved.
A student who registers for independent
study should normally expect to complete
it in one semester but may extend it into
the next term by permission of the instructor. In such cases, a grade of X is
given at the end of the first term, and the
student will register again for the course
in order to receive the final grade.
A maximum of two courses in Independent Study and/or Directed Study may
count toward the 35 courses required for
the degree.
In the Five College Cooperative Program,
students may cross-register for independent studies only when the major field in
which the independent study is proposed
i s not available on their home campus.
Requests for exceptions to this policy
should be made directly to their own
academic dean. The student will be
charged for any special costs attached to
independent study by the host campus.
Veterans
Augsburg College i s approved by the
State Approving Agency for Veterans
Training.
Veterans should consultwith the Officeof
the Registrar regarding completion of the
enrollment certificate and the forwarding
of other information to the Veterans
Administration.
Students registered for three or more
courses are classifiedas full-time students.
It i s the responsibility of each veteran to
report any change in registration and/or
academic load to the Office of the
Registrar.
Veterans will be referred to the State
Approving Agency after any period of two
consecutive terms in which they did not
earn a minimum of three courses per
term. An incomplete grade (I) may be
given only i n the case of extreme
emergency. See section on Grading.
Grade reports are issued to students following each term.
A non-punitive grade which brings a
veteran's academic load for the term
below three courses will be reported to
the Veterans Administration. Veterans
will need to meet the requirements of the
Veterans Administration regarding repayment of educational assistance funds
received.

Introducing Augsburg College
About Augsburg
About Augsburg
History
At 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 the best preparation for living in the fastpaced, 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.
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.
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.
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 130 years.
Education for Service
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). (See page 40 for a complete list of majors and minors.) 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 College offers 17 majors and a number of
certificate programs.
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.
Mission Statement
The Focus Changed
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:
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
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
Selection from over 50 Majors
“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.”

A College of the Church
I Augsburg College 2010-2011
About Augsburg
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 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 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 (19631980) 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.
• 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. The College’s first doctoral
program, in nursing practice, has been approved. 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. and a center in
Bloomington, Minn.
Weekend College
Augsburg’s Weekend College (WEC) provides an educational
opportunity for adults who want to earn a baccalaureate
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.
Weekend 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 a variety of majors in the liberal arts and professional studies, WEC is one of the largest programs of its
type among Minnesota private colleges.
The Adult Learner
Augsburg’s Weekend College is based on the assumption that
adult students are mature, self-disciplined, and motivated
learners who seek a combination of classroom experience
and individual study. Each course includes periods of concentrated, on-campus study as well as time for independent
study and class preparation.
Augsburg Today
Alternate Weekends
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed:
To meet the needs of nontraditional students, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three-and-a-half to four

About Augsburg
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 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 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, networking events, workshops, and convocations. The WEC student body elects its own leaders through
the WEC Student Senate.
Augsburg for Adults
Through the Augsburg for Adults program office, Augsburg
continues its tradition of innovation to meet the needs of
adult students by creating new programs, providing faculty
and staff development in adult learning, and serving adult
and non-traditional students.
Students are recognized as adult learners from age 25 to
60-plus whether they take courses in the traditional day program, the Weekend College program, or any of the graduate
programs. To learn more about graduate studies at Augsburg,
go to www.augsburg.edu/grad.
Weekend 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 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.
12
I Augsburg College 2010-2011
The Rochester campus classrooms and offices are located
at Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA), a few blocks south of the
heart of the city. Rochester, a city of about 100,000 residents,
enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior technological
resources.
Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a trimester
schedule, on weekday evenings and on occasional Saturdays,
making them accessible to working adults. Several complete
degree programs are available through the Rochester campus.
In addition, 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.
Partner Hospitals Program
Also within Weekend College, Augsburg offers a bachelor’s
completion degree in nursing for registered nurses at three
area hospitals, making their education convenient to their
workplace. Classes are taught at United Hospital in St. Paul,
with video conferencing of these classes to classrooms in
Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids and Unity Hospital in Fridley.
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 to introducing
new topics and subjects related to an ever-changing world.
A roster of more than 40 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

Undergraduate Admissions
Undergraduate Admissions
Undergraduate Admissions
Augsburg College strives to create a strong, rich, and vibrant
campus community with students representing a large number of backgrounds, viewpoints, experiences, talents, and
cultures.
Selection of students for Augsburg College is based
upon careful consideration of each candidate’s academic
achievement, personal qualities and interests, participation in
activities and employment, and potential for development as
a student and as a graduate of Augsburg College.
Visit the Campus
Because firsthand appraisal of programs, facilities, and academic atmosphere is valuable, first-year and transfer applicants are encouraged to visit the campus and meet with an
admissions counselor. Arrangements may be made to meet
with a member of the faculty and to attend classes when
school is in session.
Augsburg’s undergraduate admissions staff is ready to
help students and families with college planning. Call any
weekday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.—612-330-1001
or toll-free 1-800-788-5678. We’ll answer your questions
and arrange a tour for you (including most Saturday mornings during the school year). The Office of Undergraduate
Admissions is located on the first floor of the Christensen
Center and serves traditional and non-traditional students.
Application Procedures
Day College First-years
Application for Admission—Applicants should complete the
application for admission and the essay and return them to
the Office of Undergraduate Admissions together with the
non-refundable $25 application fee. Students may apply
online for free at www.augsburg.edu/day/apply.html.
Transcripts—An official transcript from the high school is
required of first-year applicants. First-year applicants who are
still high school students at the time of application should
have their most recent transcript sent, followed by a final,
official transcript upon graduation. If the student has taken
college courses, an official transcript from the institutions
should also be sent. General Education Development (GED)
scores may be presented instead of the high school transcript.
Test Scores—First-year applicants are required to submit
results from a college entrance examination. The American
College Test (ACT) is preferred; results from SAT are also
accepted. Test scores recorded on the official high school
transcript are sufficient. Augsburg strongly recommends
completing the writing portion of either the ACT or SAT.
Recommendations—Two letters of academic recommendation are required. If the applicant has been out of school
for several years, a letter may be submitted by a supervisor,
employer, pastor, or co-worker.
Additional Information—If there is personal information that
may have affected the applicant’s previous academic performance, it may be included with the application or discussed
personally with an admissions counselor.
On occasion, the Admissions Committee may defer a
decision on a candidate’s admission until other information
has been received. For example, more recent test scores,
results of the present semester’s coursework, additional letters of recommendation, or writing samples may be requested
by the committee. If any additional credentials are needed,
the Office of Undergraduate Admissions will inform the
candidate.
Notification of Admissions Decision—Augsburg College uses a
“rolling” admissions plan. The first offers of admission are
made in mid-September. After that, students are notified of
the admissions decision usually within two weeks after the
application file is complete and has been evaluated by the
Admissions Committee.
Confirmation of Admission—Accepted students are asked to
make a $150* enrollment deposit to the Office of Under
graduate Admissions. Those students who wish to live in
College housing must also submit a $200 nonrefundable
housing deposit along with the housing contract to the
Residence Life Office.
*Nonrefundable after May 1.
Weekend College
Applicants should complete the application form and return
it along with the $25 nonrefundable application fee to the
Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Students may apply
online for free at www.augsburg.edu/weekend/admissions/.
Transcripts—Official transcripts from all previous postsecondary institutions should be sent directly to the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions. Applicants with less than one
year of previous transferable college work should also have
their official high school transcript sent. The GED test certificate may be presented instead of the high school transcript.
Test Scores—First-year applicants are required to submit
results from a college entrance examination. The American
College Test (ACT) is preferred; results from SAT are also
accepted. Test scores recorded on the official high school
transcript are sufficient. Augsburg strongly recommends
completing the writing portion of either the ACT or SAT.
First-year applicants who have been out of high school
for more than five years do not need to submit an official
test score.
Additional Information—If there is personal information that
may have affected the applicant’s previous academic performance, it may be included with the application or discussed
personally with an admissions counselor. Academic recommendations may be required by the Admissions Committee
Augsburg College 2010-2011
I 17
Undergraduate Admissions
before an admission decision is made. On occasion, the
Admissions Committee may also defer a candidate’s admission until other information has been received. For example,
test scores, results of current coursework, additional letters
of recommendation, or writing samples may be requested by
the committee. If any additional credentials are needed, the
Admissions Office will inform the candidate.
Notification of Admissions Decision—Augsburg College uses a
“rolling” admissions plan. Students are notified of the admission decision, usually within two weeks after the application
file is complete and has been evaluated by the Admissions
Committee.
Admission to a major, as well as admission to the
College, is sometimes necessary. Please check with an admissions counselor and department sections of this catalog to see
if admission to the major is required.
Transfer Students
A cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.50 (on
a 4.0 scale) in previous college work is recommended for
admission to the College. No student who falls below the
standards for automatic admission to the College will be considered for admission by the Admissions Committee after the
month prior to the start of the term. Information regarding
transfer credit policies is found in the Academic Information
section of the catalog, beginning on page 36.
Former Students
Day students who have interrupted attendance at Augsburg
College for one semester or more, and WEC/United/
Rochester students who have interrupted attendance at
Augsburg College for three trimesters or more, must apply
for re-admission through the registrar’s office to resume
attendance. Students who have attended other institutions
during their absence from Augsburg must have an official
transcript sent from each institution to the Office of the
Registrar. Returning students do not pay the application fee.
Special Students (Non-Degree)
In some circumstances, people may be admitted as special
students (non-degree) and granted the privilege of enrolling
in courses for credit. Students may request a change in their
degree status by submitting a petition to the registrar’s office.
Students regularly enrolled at another college may take
coursework at Augsburg College as a special student (nondegree). An application form for special-student status is
available from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. To
apply for admission as a special student, submit the completed admission application and academic transcripts to the
Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
Students who have graduated from Augsburg who are
returning to complete a second major will not be awarded
a second degree unless it is a different degree from the first
awarded. Minors are not noted on the transcript if they are
completed after a baccalaureate degree has been awarded.
18
I Augsburg College 2010-2011
Special Students (Second Degree)
Students who have completed a four-year degree at an
accredited college or university may complete a second
degree at Augsburg College. Second degree requirements include: a minimum of eight course credits taken at
Augsburg, completion of a major, and completion of any
liberal arts requirements not covered by a previous degree.
Depending on the student’s previous degree, completion of a
second major (non-degree) may also be an option.
International Students
International students are a vital part of the Augsburg community. (See International Student Advising on page 32.)
International students should contact the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions for an international student
application and financial requirements. All applicants must
provide proof of financial solvency. Applications must be
completed two months prior to the start of the semester:
June 1 for fall, December 1 for spring.

Other Special Fees (Nonrefundable)
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.

Payments
Day college
Semester Fees—Prior to the start of each semester a statement of estimated charges showing basic charges and financial aid credits designated by the Student Financial Services
Office is sent to the student.
Payment Options—Augburg College offers payment plan
options for Day Program students. Information about payment plan options is mailed annually to each student’s
permanent address.
Weekend College
A statement of tuition and fee charges and estimated financial
aid will be mailed to each registered student prior to the start
of each term. For tuition and fee information, please refer to
the financial aid website.
Payment Options—(1) Payment in full at the start of each
term. (2) Employer Reimbursement: Students on this plan
must file an employer reimbursement application form
each academic year, prior to the start of the first class. Once
enrolled in the employer reimbursement payment plan,
students have until 60 days after the end of each term to pay
their term costs in full. 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 V.A. education benefits, such
as the G.I. Bill. (more details can be found at www.augsburg.
edu/enroll/accounts.html)
Financial Policies
A finance charge is applied at a simple rate of .67 percent per
month on any account with an open balance of 30 days or
more.
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 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.
The Augsburg College Refund Policy for Day, Weekend, Rochester,
Bloomington, and Graduate Studies.
The refund schedule is based on the percentage of class time
remaining on the date of the student’s official withdrawal
from class. This applies to all students who drop one or more
courses during each term.

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.
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 2009-2010 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),
current tax documents, and the Augsburg Aid form help
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, debts, 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 U.S. 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. Applications must be filed by
March 1 for priority consideration.
3. Complete the current year Augsburg Aid form, available
at www.augsburg.edu/finaid, and submit it to the Enrollment
Center.
Financing Your Education
4. Submit copies of federal 1040 tax forms for the preceding year (e.g. tax year 2009 to be considered for financial aid
for 2010-2011). Tax forms are required for the student and
parents of dependent students, or spouse of student if filing
separately.

24
I Augsburg College 2010-2011
Federal Stafford Student Loan—Subsidized Stafford Loans are
need-based loans that the federal government subsidizes by
paying the interest while the student is in school and during
the grace period.
For the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, interest begins
accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower is
responsible for all interest. The borrower may choose to
make payments while in school or may defer payments and
allow interest to accrue and be capitalized (added to the balance of the loan).
The interest rate for new borrowers through the
Subsidized Stafford Loan and the Unsubsidized Stafford
Loan, as of July 1, 2009, is a fixed rate of 5.6% and 6.8%,
respectively.
The following borrowing limits apply to the Stafford
Loan program after July 1, 2009:
• First-years: $5,500 annually (Combined Subsidized and
Unsubsidized Stafford)
• Sophomores: $6,500 annually (Combined Subsidized and
Unsubsidized Stafford)

a fixed rate of 7.9% and a minimum payment of $50 per
month.
Further information about all student and parent loan
programs can be found online at the Financial Aid website.
Student Employment
Augsburg College provides work opportunities for students.
Assignment is based on financial eligibility and potential
competence in performing the duties assigned. Part-time
work provided by the College is considered financial aid, just
like scholarships, loans, and grants. A maximum of 15 hours
of on-campus employment per week is recommended.
All on-campus work is governed by policies stipulated
in the work contract issued to the student employee for each
placement. Payment is made monthly 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
Student Life
Student Life
Augsburg’s mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense. Experiences in the classroom are an important part
of college life, but learning and development also occur in
formal and informal activities of the College and the metropolitan area. Whether students are residents or commuters, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add
dimension to their education.
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 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
26
I Augsburg College 2010-2011
helped embed vocational themes into the curriculum and
has sponsored a wide variety of short-term 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.
Because Exploring Our Gifts will end in the summer
2010, the College recently created a permanent center—the
Augsburg Center for Faith and Learning—that will keep
vocation at the core of Augsburg’s vision well into the future.
This new center will continue many of the current initiatives
and will carry 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 Lilly Resource
Center, Memorial Hall, room 231, or the Augsburg Center for
Faith and Learning, Oren Gateway Center, room 106.
Student Government
The Augsburg Day Student Government and the Augsburg
for Adults/Weekend and Evening College Student Senate
organizations support and advocate for student concerns,
needs, and activities. These student government groups serve
as 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) strives to create
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 instruction at Augsburg College through quality
transitional programs for new students as well as through
leadership education. CAO is made up of five program areas.
These include:
Campus Activities—CAO offers several programs and activities throughout the academic year designed to connect and
engage students with the Augsburg community, as well as
with the broader Twin Cities community.
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 understandings of gender and sexuality, as well as
fostering a community that honors and affirms the wholeness
of all identities.
Student Life
Student and Group Leadership Development—
Emerging Leaders Program (ELP)—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.
Student Group Development—CAO provides student
groups with advising and skill-building workshops
focusing on recruitment, event planning, meeting facilitation, conflict resolution, and other pertinent areas of
development.
Orientation Programs—
SOAR—SOAR is a required two-day, overnight orientation experience for incoming first-year day students which 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—Parent SOAR is an optional two-day
orientation experience for the parents and guardians of
first-year day students that runs concurrently with the
students’ SOAR session. Parents will 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-mation—TRANSFER-mation is a required halfday orientation experience for transfer students 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—Auggie Days is a required on-campus
orientation experience for incoming first-year day students that 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
The 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 College, and graduate
students at Augsburg through the merging of curricular and
co-curricular programs and activities.
The Christensen Center also houses several student
services, such as Undergraduate and Graduate Admissions,
Campus Activities and Orientation, Event and Conference
Planning, the Copy Center, Shipping and Receiving, the
Information Desk, A’viands Food Services, Mail Services, the
A-Club Grille, and Cooper’s Coffee Shop.
The Auggies Nest, located on the ground floor of the
Christensen Center, serves as the student group office area
and houses the Augsburg Day Student Government and
Augsburg for Adults/Weekend and Evenings College office,
the ECHO (campus newspaper) office, the Augsburgian
(student yearbook) office, and the KAUG (campus radio)
office. Cubicles, lockers, and additional work spaces are also
available in this area for student group use.
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 oncampus workshops with visiting arts professionals.
Anne Pederson Women’s Resource Center
The Anne Pederson Women’s Resource Center at Augsburg
College offers a variety of programming for Augsburg students (women and men) and is a meeting place for students,
faculty, and staff alike. It houses a women’s studies library
(including current magazines), a seminar room for films and
discussions, and a lounge space for studying, relaxing, and
just hanging out. The Women’s Resource Center sponsors
numerous programs and activities (including regular social
times, Feminist Film Fridays, spa days at the end of each
semester, and the Koryne Horbal Convocation Lecture), and
provides a safe place on campus for discussions, explorations, and women’s advocacy. The resource center is located
in Sverdrup Hall 207.
Athletics and Sports
Intercollegiate Athletics—Augsburg is affiliated with the
Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) and
is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) Division III. 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,
swimming, track and field, and golf.
Intramurals—Every student is urged to participate in some
activity for recreation and relaxation. An intramural program
provides competition in a variety of team sports as well as
individual performance activities. Broomball has been an
especially popular coed sport. Check schedules for times
when there is open use of the gymnasium and ice arena.
Augsburg College 2010-2011

Student Life
Sports and recreation—At Augsburg, sports are for all students
as well as the intercollegiate athlete. The campus offers on
a space-available basis a double-rink ice arena, gymnasium,
tennis courts, a fitness center with workout machines and
weight room, and an air-supported dome over the athletic
field for winter fitness use by walkers and runners. (See
Fitness Centers on page 32.)
Gage Center for Academic Achievement
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 College undergraduate students to the academic
policies and procedures of the College and assists students
on initial course selection. This office also provides interpretation of core curriculum requirements, administers entrylevel skill assessments, interprets graduation requirements,
provides degree-planning materials, and answers questions
on student academic progress. Academic Advising functions
as a supplement to the faculty advising system at Augsburg
College, and is located in the Enrollment Center.
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 their 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 declaration form. All Day students are required to meet with their assigned faculty adviser
each term prior to registration. Both Day and weekend
college students are encouraged to meet with their faculty
adviser 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. 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.
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 Computer Laboratory
28
I Augsburg College 2010-2011
• Assistance with academic, organizational, and time management skills
CLASS 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 the CLASS office. 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.
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 provides comprehensive academic
support (e.g. time management, note-taking, reading, testing, motivation/procrastination) 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 life. 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 for most classes and supplemental
instruction in specific courses.
• Conditional Admit Program (CAP): A limited number
of students are admitted conditionally through the CAP
program. Students must fulfill CAP requirements or they
will be continued in the CAP program or dismissed. See
the “Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal” section
of the catalog for a description of dismissal procedures.
• Probation Advising: Students placed or continued on
probation are required to meet with an approved academic
advocate. Registration is prevented until the student
completes the probation requirements as specified by their
academic advocate. Students who do not meet with their
academic advocate and/or do not fulfill the probation
requirements will be continued on probation or dismissed.
See the “Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal”
section of the catalog for a description of dismissal procedures.
• Augsburg Advantage at St. Kates (AASK): The Augsburg
College Admissions Committee selects students for the
AASK program, based on their application for admission
to Augsburg. The AASK program is a collaborative effort
between St. Catherine University (St. Kate’s) and Augsburg
to assist students in the transition from high school to
Student Life
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 7 course credits) and will have
fulfilled many of the first-year Augsburg requirements.
In order to complete the program, students are
required to:
• Complete all required courses (30 semester credits)
including Foundations in Fitness (at Augsburg) with a
minimum 2.5 GPA and no course grade below a 2.0 or P.
• Satisfactory completion on Critical Competencies
• 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.

TRIO Programs—TRIO programs are federal grant programs
funded by the U.S. Department of Education, which seek to
help students overcome class, social, academic and cultural
barriers to higher education. TRIO programs are designed
to help students prepare for college, adjust to college life,
and attain good academic standing. They also help students
improve their likelihood of transfer and graduation from
a four-year degree program in addition to 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. The program
serves students who are low-income, first-generation college
students (neither parent has a four-year degree) and students
with disabilities to develop the skills and motivation necessary to successfully pursue and earn a bachelor’s degree.
Participants in TRIO/SSS must also be U.S. citizens, permanent residents or refugees, must demonstrate academic need
for program services, and be committed to succeed in college.
Augsburg TRIO/Student Support Services serves 160
students from the point of admission through graduation,
including transfer students. TRIO/SSS typically admits 40
new students to the program each year.
Major components of the Augsburg College TRIO/SSS
program include:
• Individual academic advising and support, including
appropriate goal attainment strategies and self-advocacy
skill-building
• Academic program planning, including pre-registration for
each term, major and career decision-making, and longterm course planning
• Preemptive tutoring during the first seven weeks of the
semester.
• Financial aid counseling and education, financial aid
literacy education

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 t o spend the same
amount of time i n class and preparing for class as they w o u l d for a four course load during
Fall and Spring semesters.

Essential Information
One course i s considered a full time load during interim and no student i s permitted to
register for more than one course credit during the period.
There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an interim course.
Most interim courses are graded traditionally on a 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 i s indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division standing. Such interim courses
have two numbers listed and the student must select. Students registering for upper division
standing should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard.
To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35 courses of which at least three
must be interim courses (or one interim less than the number of years of full time enrollment
at Augsburg; e.g., a transfer enrolled full time for two years is required to complete one
interim for graduation.)
This Catalog
This catalog lists courses by departments with departments listed in alphabetical order. At the
end of the book are listings of other courses not offered by Augsburg but recognized by the
College for interim credit. Further descriptions and information about these courses are
available in the lnterim Office, Memorial 230. Students may register for one of the Lifetime
Sports listed on the last page.

Students interested in participating in one of these international interims should apply in the
International Center before November 1. Additions to the overseas groups usually cannot be
made after that date.
Internships - Students electing an internship interim must present a completed internship
learning contract to the Internship Office (Memorial 230) no later than Tuesday, November
16. Contract forms are available in the same office.
Independent or Directed Study - Students may elect a program of independent study
(upper division 499) or directed study (lower division 299) for interim. Faculty members are
strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent 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 Interim Office.
Interims at Other Schools - Augsburg students may enroll at any other 4-1-4 institution
which offers a reciprocal interim arrangement. Catalogs of these interims can be consulted in
the lnterim Office. The lnterim Secretary will help students in 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 affects
courses offered for the Religion requirement.
Non-Augsburg Students
Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-1-4 schools for the January interim
without tuition charges provided the student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition
to Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special
fees, housing or board costs. Other students will be charged $670 for the interim course.
Students interested in registering for an Augsburg lnterim should write to 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 on campus but are not required to do so.
Requests for interim housing should be made to the Interim Office.
Augsburg Policy
Augsburg College admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the
rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at
the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, national and ethnic
origin in employment practices or administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

Heredity, Evolution, and Humankind
BIO 110 - 4010
Instructor: Ralph Sulerud
Where did I come from? What am I ?Where am I going? certainly must rank among the more
fundamental questions which intrigue and torment members of our species. While at one
level we seek philosophical and religious answers, biology is invoked at another level. It i s the
intent of this course to address these questions and others through the study of evolution and
heredity (genetics). The concept of organic evolution continues to have its critics, a matter
which we shall consider. Yet to the vast majority of biologists the evolution of life i s not only
accepted but is regarded as the single most significant contribution which biology has made
to human knowledge. We will study the evidence in support of evolution, the proposed
mechanisms of the evolutionary process, and, as time permits, the course of evolution from
primitive forms to humans. Some principles of genetics will be studied for the primary
purpose of making it possible to understand evolutionary mechanisms. Ways in which people
influence their own evolution and that of other species will be discussed.
Classes will consist largely of lectures and discussions. Grading will be based on quizzes and
tests.

The Rhine Frontier:
Germany Meets Rome and France
GER 333 - 4032
Instructor: Donald Steinmetz
I
Since Roman times, the lands along the Rhine have been one of the most significant frontier
areas of Europe. Here German and Roman cultures clashed and mixed. Here modern
Germany and France have their roots i n the empire of Charlemagne. Here romanesque and
gothic architecture flourished in the Middle Ages. Here Germans and French fought in three
recent wars. It is such events which have shaped life and left so many monuments between
the Rhine and the Meuse. The student will study and "relive" the history of this area on
location, from the Roman monuments of Trier and Cologne, Charlemagne's Aachen, to the
battlefields of World Wars I and II and the dynamic society of present-day Germany. The
course will be conducted primarily in Trier, Germany, with excursions to nearby sites. Trier i s
ideal for this purpose. Perhaps the oldest city in Germany, Trier is rich in monuments dating
from Roman times to the present, and important historical sites of five countries are less than
100 miles away. Lectures, discussions, and readings will be principally in German according to
the student's entering level of competence.

Paris in the Nineteenth Century
HIS 114 - 4037
Instructor: Orloue Gisselquist
The French are sometimes accused of thinking of Paris as the "navel of the universe." There's
a bit of "sour grapes" caricature in that clever statement. For if one could pick out a city
which in the last thousand years has been more important to Western Civilization than any
other, one could make a good case for Paris. In this course we will study the history of that
city i n one period of its greatness, the nineteenth century. We will use some readings about
France, Paris, and Modern urbanism, but the main emphasis in our reading and approach to
the subject will be the use of some nineteenth century French novels as historical sources
for the study of Paris. We will thus have the opportunity to study the city of Paris in this
century i n some fullness, read some great literature, and develop our talents in the use of
historical material. As a bonus we will double (maybe quadruple!) our enjoyment of a future
trip to Paris. The course will be conducted in part as a lecture course and in part as a seminar

will be a final exam.

Perspectives on the Humanities: The City in
American History, Literature and the Arts, 1865-1914
INS 275 - 4042
Instructor: Grier Nicholl
Rapid industrialization and the growth of cities between the Civil War and World War I
generated significant responses from American writers of fiction and poetry, painters,
photographers and architects.
How did the interpretations of major writers and artists compare to actual historical
developments of the city and technology in the period? What similarities and differences can
be discovered in the ideas, values, and attitudes reflected in literary and artistic responses to
industrialization? The course will examine these and other interdisciplinary questions to lead
the student toward an integrative perspective on the humanities.
Activities in the course will include active participation by urban and art historians; small
group discussions of selected poems of Walt Whitman, selected short stories of Stephen
Crane, and two controversial novels-Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie and Upton Sinclair's
The jungle; lecture and slide presentations on painting and architecture; and visits to the

This course will analyze current U.S. foreign policy problems i n two strategic regions: the
Middle East and the Caribbean. Course objectives include:
A. Examining central aspects of U.S. policy in what i s called the North-South dimension of
world politics. For this objective we will look at both (1) the dilemmas for U.S. policy makers
who must relate American interests in Third World countries within U.S. global strategy and
(2) the tensions created within Third World societies as their governments attempt modernization and simultaneously face the geopolitical concerns of the superpowers.
B. Employing comparative case study methods to analyze how U.S. policy instruments are
used i n two different regions of the world.
The course content will highlight recent debates over U.S. grand strategy, briefly review the
evolution of policies in selected Caribbean and Middle Eastern countries, analyze regional
changes which pose new problems for American policy makers, and evaluate current policy
recommendations.
Students will work in a dual capacity as individual decision-makers and as members of foreign
policy teams. Extensive reading will be required during the first 2/3 of the course. Students

Theology of Play, Games and Sport
REL 328 - 4064
Instructor: John Benson
There is nothing more familiar to us than play, games and sports. We are all involved with one
or more of them almost daily. Yet, there is usually little understanding of the human
significance of these commonplaces of experience. Philosophers of culture like Weiss and
Huizinga, however, together with sociologists like Caillois and psychologists like Bern have
helped us to see some of the deeper meanings of these things we usually take for granted. At
the same time, theologians concerned with cultural questions such as this have added their
contributions. Rahner, Miller, Pieper and Novak have helped us to see that religion itself has
a "play" structure.
I n the lectures, all of the above thinkers will be dealt with. And in the small groups two books,
one by Caillois, and the other by Novak, will be read and carefully discussed. Several special
preparations will be required as well, related to special discussions. An example of such a
special discussion i s the problem of the relation between the game proper and the
"intimidation game" that goes on within it at the same time. Such a problem can be shown to
have far reaching implications into many other areas of life as well as games.

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.
Selection from over 50 majors
Augsburg offers more than 50 major*
or you can create your own major either
on campus or through the Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See
page 58 for a complete list of majors and
minors.) 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, College of St.
Catherine, Hamline University, Macalester
College, and the University of St. Thomas.
Through the Weekend College
Program, 17 majors are offered.
Emphasis on values, perspectives,
experience, and skills
The heart of an Augsburg education is
the Augsburg curriculum-the College's
general education program, which structures your liberal arts studies through challenging and thought-provoking courses
requiring students to consider important
issues and examine values questions. These
Liberal Arts Perspectives include Western
Heritage, Intercultural Awareness, Human
Identity, the Social World, Christian Faith,
The City Aesthetics, and the Natural World.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve you
for a lifetime-writing, speaking, critical
thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to
name a few.
Thanks to Augsburg's prime location in
the heart of a thriving metropolitan area,
many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense,
the resources of the Twin Cities are an
extended campus for Augsburg students.
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 11
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 depaments 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 130 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist"
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second
president (1876- 1907), required students
to get pre-ministerial experience in city
congregations. Student involvement in the
community gave early expression to the
concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education
for Service."
In the 1890s, 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
Bemhard 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 serninary 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.
12 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 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 Center for
Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the
James G. Lindell Family Library.
The city-with all its excitement,
challenges, and diversity-is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Dr. William V Frame became president
in August 1997. Under his leadership, the
college has 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.
In 1999, a new apament-style student
residence opened. Major renovation of
Sverdrup Hall created space for the
Enrollment Center, h e Women's Resource
Center, and the Honors Program Suite. A
skyway link connects Sverdrup Hall to
Lindell Library.
An Augsburg education should be
preparation for service in community and
church;
Education should have a solid liberal
arts core with a practical dimension in
order to send out productive, creative, and
successful citizens;
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution
set in the heart of a great metropolitan center.
There are now almost 18,000 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, physician assistant studies, and
education.
Augsburg also offers graduate and
undergraduate level nursing courses as
well as supporting degree courses through
its Rochester Program based in Rochester,
Minnesota.
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 13
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 17 majors,
Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest
program of this type among Minnesota private colleges. 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.
Augsburg Weekend College continues
to develop to meet the needs of the adult
and nontraditional student.
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.
Laboratoly 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.
A Community of Learners
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
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.
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.
ROCHESTER PROGRAM
Augsburg has established a branch
campus in Rochester, Minnesota. Classes
in Rochester meet on an evening or weekend schedule, making them accessible to
working adults. There are three trimesters
in each academic year, following the same
schedule as the Weekend College program.
14 About Augsburg
Several complete degree programs are
available through the Rochester campus. In
addition, students may work on a variety
of other majors through a combination of
Rochester-based courses and courses taken
in the day or Weekend College program on
the Minneapolis campus. Students who
enroll in Rochester courses are required to
have an individual e-mail address and have
access to the Intemet to facilitate the use
of technology in the learning and communication process. Further information may
be obtained from the Rochester program
website at <www.augsburg.edu/rochester>
or by calling the Weekend College
Admissions Office at 612-330-1101.
CAMPUS LOCATION
Augsburg's campus is located in the
heart of the Twin Cities, surrounding
Murphy Square, the first of 170 parks in

ALL TRANSFER STUDENTS

granted for liberal arts courses satisfactorily
completed at accredited institutions. The
College reserves the right not to grant
credit for courses where it considers the
work unsatisfactory, to grant provisional
credit for work taken at unaccredited institutions, and to require that certain courses
be taken at Augsburg.
Augsburg College limits transfer
coursework from two-year colleges once a
student has reached junior status. Students
may transfer a maximum of 64 semester
credits (96 quarter credits) from two-year
colleges. Once a student reaches junior

from two-year institutions toward the
minimum of 32 credits required for a
baccalaureate degree. These courses can,
however, be used to meet liberal arts and
major requirements.
A cumulative grade point average
(GPA) of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) or better is
required on previous college work for
admission to the College.
Acceptance of courses submitted for
transfer is done by the registrar's office
based upon the official student
transcript(s). Acceptance of courses presented for a major or minor also requires
approval of the department. The major or
minor department may require certain
courses or a minimum number of courses
be taken at Augsburg.

Minnesota State University and College
System who have completed the Minnesota
Transfer Curriculum, have earned the
Associate of Arts degree from MNSCU, and
have a 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) cumulative GPA
or higher will be given transfer status as
outlined below.
The following applies only to the

1. Admission will be with junior standing
following the Minnesota Transfer
Curriculum. A maximum of 17 Augsburg
equivalent courses (64 semester credits or
96 quarter credits from a community college) will be accepted once junior status is
reached. No additional courses may be
transferred from a community college.

requirements upon transfer.

Undergraduate Admissions and consult the
departmental section of this catalog.

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 in the Dean's Office in
Chnstensen Center.
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 meeting the academic progress standards outlined in the
brochure "Academic Progress Standards for
Financial Aid." This brochure is available
from the Enrollment Center and is distributed to students on an annual basis.
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 2001-2002 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) and the Augsburg
Financial Aid Application help 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, debts, retirement needs, and special considerations.

rather than for a specific scholarship or
grant (except as noted). The various forms
of aid available are listed here for information only.

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

schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid available to

Federal Stafford Student Loan
Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford
Loan funds are obtained directly from a
lender or state agency in states that provide
such programs. Subsidized Stafford Loans
are need-based loans that the federal
government subsidizes by paying the
interest while the student is in school
and during the grace period.
For the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan,
interest begins accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower is responsible
for all interest. The borrower may choose
to make payments while in school or may
defer payments and allow interest to
accrue and be capitalized (added to the
balance of the loan).
The interest rate for new borrowers
through the Subsidized and Unsubsidized
Stafford Loan is variable and changes
annually on July 1. Interest is capped at
8.25%.

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
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.
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.
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.
xperiences in the classroom are an
important part of college life, but learning
and development also occur in formal and
informal activities of the College and the
metropolitan area. Whether students are
residents or commuters, the climate for
learning and living at Augsburg will add
dimension to their education.
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
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.
Augsburg College created a program
entitled Exploring Our Gifts through the
generous support of the Lilly Endowment.
Established in Spring 2002, the Exploring
Our Gifts program is designed to help students in their college journey to make connections between faith, vocation, and
work. The program will assist students in
this journey by intentionally introducing
vocational themes into the cumculum, cocumcular activities, service-learning experiences, and mentoring relationships at the
college. Exploring Our Gifts also provides
resources to encourage students to explore
Christian ministry. Contact the director of
Exploring Our Gifts for further information about the program.

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.

beyond their years at Augsburg.
The Christensen Center is the focus of
leisure-time activity on campus. Cooper's
Attic (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.
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 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.

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.
During 1999-2000, Augsburg men's and
women's athletics marked the 75th
anniversary of intercollegiate competition.
Augsburg is affiliated with the
Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference (MIAC) and is a member of
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) Division 111. Men
annually compete in football, soccer, cross
country, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling,
baseball, track and field, and golf. Women
annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, softball,
track and field, and golf.
INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
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.

Augsburg's mission focuses on student
learning in the broadest sense. As an indication of the emphasis placed on student
learning, the student and academic affairs

A
Selection from over 50 majors
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 the
best preparation for living in the fastpaced, 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.
Augsburg offers more than 50 major*
or you can create your own major, either
on campus or through the Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See
page 58 for a complete list of majors and
minors.) 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, the College of
St. Catherine, Hamline University,
Macalester College, and the University of
St. Thomas.
Discovering your gifts and talents
The Weekend College Program offers
18 majors.
The heart of an Augsburg education is
the Augsburg Core Cumculum- 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.
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 11
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 130 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the democratic
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second
president (1876-19071, 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 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.
12 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 cumculum that draws on the resources of the city
as extensions of campus and classroom.
Some of the accomplishments during his
tenure include instituting two graduate
degree programs, hosting national and
international figures at College-sponsored
forums and events, increasing accessibility,
and the addition of the Foss Center for
Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the
James G. Lindell Family Library.
The city-with all its excitement,
challenges, and diversity-is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Dr. William \! Frame became president
in August 1997. Under his leadership, the
College has 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.
Augsburg also offers graduate and
undergraduate level nursing courses as
well as supporting degree courses through
its Rochester Program based in Rochester,
Minnesota.
An Augsburg education should be
preparation for service in community and
church;
Education should have a solid liberal
arts core with a practical dimension in
order to send out productive, creative, and
successful citizens;
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution
set in the heart of a great metropolitan center.
There are now almost 18,000 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 business, education,
leadership, nursing, physician assistant
studies, and social work.
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 13
Weekend 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,
Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest
program of this type among Minnesota private colleges. 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.

the admission decision, usually within two
weeks after the application file is complete

W TRANSFER STUDENTS
Augsburg College welcomes students
who wish to transfer from other colleges or
universities. College credit is granted for
liberal arts courses completed at regionally
accredited institutions with a grade of
2.O/C or better. Augsburg does not grant
credit for developmental courses, technical
courses, or courses with grades below
Z.O/C. The College reserves the right to
require that certain courses be taken at
Augsburg.
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 from semester or
quarter hour institutions are converted to
Augsburg credits by dividing by four or
six, respectively.
Augsburg College limits transfer credits
from two-year colleges. Students may
transfer a maximum of 64 semester credits
(96 quarter credits) from two-year colleges.
Once a student reaches these credit limits,
no additional credits will transfer from
two-year institutions toward the 32
Augsburg credits required for a baccalaureate degree. Courses taken beyond the credit limit can, however, be used to meet liberal arts and major requirements. Augsburg
students should consult with their faculty
adviser and the Office of the Registrar
before taking courses at other institutions.
A cumulative grade point average
(GPA) of at least 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) in
previous college work is recommended for
admission to the College.
The evaluation of transfer credits is
completed by the Office of the Registrar
and is based on a student's official transcripts. 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 major or minor department
may require certain courses or a minimum
number of courses be taken at Augsburg.
Students transferring from the
Minnesota State College and University
System who have completed the Minnesota
Transfer Curriculum, have earned the
Associate of Arts degree from MNSCU, and
have a 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) cumulative GPA
or higher will be given transfer status as
outlined below.
The following applies only to the
MNSCU A.A. graduate:
1. Admission will be with junior standing following the Minnesota Transfer
Curriculum. A maximum of 16 Augsburg
equivalent credits (64 semester credits or
96 quarter credits from a community college) will be accepted. No additional credits may be transferred from a community
college.
2. All Augsburg Core Curriculum
requirements will be waived except:
REL 300 Bible, Christian Theology,
and Vocation Course

accepted as prerequisites or for application
to majors. Some Augsburg majors require
additional prerequisite coursework beyond
the A.A. degree. Students are advised to
consult major departments for major
requirements upon transfer.
Admission to a major, as well as admission to the College, is sometimes necessary.
Please check with the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions and consult the
departmental section of this catalog.

standards for automatic admission to the
College will be considered for admission
by the Admissions Committee after August
15 for entry in fall semester or December
15 for entry in spring semester.
FORMER STUDENTS
Students who have interrupted attendance at Augsburg College for one semester or more without requesting a leave of
absence and who wish to return must
apply for re-admission through the registrar's office. Students who have attended
other institution(s) during their absence
from Augsburg must have an official tran-
script sent from each institution to the
Office of the Registrar. Returning students
do not pay the application fee.
SPECIAL STUDENTS
(NON-DECREE)
In some circumstances, people may be
admitted as special students (non-degree)
and granted the privilege of enrolling in
courses for credit. Students may request a
change in their degree status by submitting
a.petition to the registrar's office.
Students regularly enrolled at another
college may take coursework at Augsburg
College as a special student (non-degree).

status is available from the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions. To apply for
admission as a special student, submit the
completed admission application and academic transcripts to the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions.
Students who have graduated from
Augsburg who are returning to complete a
second major will not be awarded a second
degree unless it is a different degree from
the first awarded. Minors are not noted on
the transcript if they are completed after a
baccalaureate degree has been awarded.
SPECIAL STUDENTS
(SECOND DECREE)
Students who have completed a
four-year degree at an accredited college
or university may complete a second
degree at Augsburg College. Second degree
requirements include: a minimum of eight
course credits taken at Augsburg, completion of a major, and completion of any

churches, friends, foundations, and endowment income.
However, the primary responsibility for

intended to supplement those resources.

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 2003-2004 academic
year, more than eight out of ten students at
Augsburg received financial assistance.

xperiences in the classroom are an
important part of college life, but learning
and develo~ment"'0 occur in formal and
informal activities of the Colleg'e and the
metropolitan area. Whether students are
residents or commuters, the climate for
learning and living at Augsburg will add
dimension to their education.
As a college of the church, we are
concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern
for spiritual growth is evident in the
opportunities we encourage and provide
for students to explore their own faith.
Because our campus is comprised of
individuals from many different religious
and cultural backgrounds, our worship life
is characterized by a similar diversity and
richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth
groups, outreach teams and community
outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and
justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are
examples of the wide variety of activities
on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible
expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to
give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and
musicians. Each Wednesday night students
gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays,
Trinity Lutheran worship services are held
on campus, with many other churches
within walking distance.
We seek to develop a free and open
environment where people are encouraged
to use and discover the gifts and sense of
call and vocation that God has given them.
As a college of the church, we encourage
students to form values guided by our
Christian heritage, which will be the basis
for the kind and quality of life that reaches
beyond their years at Augsburg.
The college pastor, associate college
pastor, and campus ministry staffhave
officesin the F ~~ ~~ b
~~ ~, i Center
~ kl , ~
for Worship, Drama, and Communication
and are available for spiritual guidance,
counseling, support, or information.
Augsburg College created a program
entitled Exploring Our Gifts through the
generous support of the Lilly Endowment.
in Spring 2002, the Exploring
Our Gifts program is designed to help students in their college journey to make connections between faith, vocation, and
work. The program assists students in this
journey by intentionally introducing vocational themes into the curriculum, co-curricular activities, service-learning experiences, and mentoring relationships at the
College. Exploring Our Gifts also provides
resources to encourage students to explore
Christian ministry Contact the director of
Exploring Our Gifts for further information about the program.
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
several committees. 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.
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, speakers, and visiting personalities
in various fields.
The Christensen Center is the focus of
leisure-time activity on campus. Cooper's
Attic (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; the
community senrice organization, the LINK;
and the Augsburg Student Activities
Council (ASAC).

participate in music and drama. In addition to appearing on campus and in the
city, the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band,
and Orchestra perform on national and
international tours. Many other ensembles
are available to cover the entire range of
musical styles and previous musical experience. Students stage several plays on campus each year under the direction of the
Theatre Arts Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of on-campus
workshops with visiting arts professionals.
INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Augsburg is affiliated with the
Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference (MIAC) and is a member of
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) Division 111. Men
annually compete in football, soccer, cross
country, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling,
baseball, track and field, and golf. Women
annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, softball,
swimming, track and field, and golf.
Every student is urged to participate in
some activity for recreation and relaxation.

coed sport. Check schedules for times
when there is open use of the gymnasium

SPORTS AND RECREATION
At Augsburg, sports are for all students

with workout machines and weight room,

field for winter fitness use by walkers and

Augsburg's mission focuses on student
learning in the broadest sense. As an indication of the emphasis placed on student
learning, the student and academic affairs
offices work to bring together the student
learning found in the classroom with the
activities of experiential education and
work, residence life, and the learning
resources of the library and information
technology. The following sections elaborate on facets of student life. The formal
academic programs and requirements are
described on page 56.
ACADEMIC SKILLS CENTER
The Academic Skills Center, located in
Room 18 of Foss Center, is designed to
offer students study-skills assistance so
that they may achieve academic success.
The center assists students in improving
their skills in such areas as time management, notetaking, textbook reading and
comprehension, test-taking, and concentration and memory improvement. Diagnostic
testing is also available to assess skills in
reading, vocabulary, spelling, study strategies, and learning styles. The staff will
assist students in developing effective and
efficient study skills.

This ministry finds its most visible expression i n chapel worship where students,

GENERAL INFORMATION
PURPOSE
Augsburg College is a four-year liberal arts college sponsored by
the Lutheran Free Church for the purpose of giving young people
an opportunity to obtain a broad education in a Christian environment. In addition to securing a general education, students may prepare themselves for such vocations as high school teaching, business
administration, social work, medical technology, secretarial work,
parish work, and missions. They may prepare for further study in the
fields of dentistry, engineering, law, medicine, nursing, and theology,
as well as for graduate study in various fields.
Augsburg Theological Seminary, with its facilities on the same campus, offers a three-year course of study leading to a Bachelor of
Theology degree. Its chief purpose is to prepare pastors and missionaries for the Lutheran Free Church.
LOCATION
Augsburg College and Theological Seminary is located in the Riverside Park area of Minneapolis, across the Mississippi River from the
University of Minnesota and within walking distance of the main
business section of the city. Science Hall, containing the administration offices, is located at the corner of Seventh Street and Twenty-first
Avenue South. Augsburg students have the advantage of getting their
college education in a metropolitan center pulsating with industrial,
social, and cultural activities. They have access to libraries, museums,
and art collections. They may hear the best in music and lectures.
Minneapolis is recognized throughout the nation as a vital center of
religious life and activity. Outstanding leaders in many fields both
from other parts of America and from foreign countries are frequent
visitors. College students in the Twin Cities have abundant opportunity to contact contemporary American life at one of its focal points.
ACCREDITATION
Augsburg College is accredited by the North Central Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the regional accrediting agency.
It is approved by the Minnesota Department of Education for the
training of secondary school teachers.
HISTORICAL SKETCH
Augsburg was begun as a seminary in 1869, at Marshall, Wisconsin.
It was the first theological seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans
in America. Through an arrangement with a private institution known
as Marshall Academy, the Seminary was at first housed in the academy
building. Students who needed further preparation in academic subjects were to obtain this in the academy. This arrangement failed to
work out satisfactorily; so the theological group moved to a private
dwelling, where classes continued until 1872. In the autumn of that
year Augsburg Seminary was removed to Minneapolis, Minnesota,
where a building had been erected for its use. In the same year the
school was incorporated under the laws of Minnesota. The aim of the
institution was to train ministers for the Lutheran congregations which
were being organized in growing numbers in the pioneer settlements
that were spreading rapidly over the Northwest.
The college was established when it became evident that in order
to get students who were adequately prepared for theological study
a college department was needed. So in 1874 a college curriculum
was planned which provided for one year of preparatory studies and
four years of college work along two lines, a classical course to prepare students for theology, and a scientific course to prepare for the
professions. The latter course, however, had to be discontinued, partly
for lack of funds and partly because too few students selected the
course. The first college students were enrolled in 1874 and the first
class was graduated in 1879.
In 1900 a high school course covering three years was established
which in 1910 was expanded to a standard four-year course. This
was discontinued in 1933. In the years 1916-1919 the college course
was thoroughly revised. As a result of this and of subsequent growth,
the earlier classical course was greatly modified and supplemented by
social and scientific studies and a more general emphasis upon the
study of the humanities. In recent years there has been continuous
study and modification of the curriculum including the introduction
of a number of new majors to meet the developing needs of the students. The Divisional organization was adopted in 1945. At the present
time majors are offered in 17 fields.
Coeducation was introduced in the College in 1921.
In the Theological, Seminary there has likewise been a continuing
revision of the curriculum and the addition of new courses. The requirement of a six-month period of internship was added in 1939.
Standards of admission have been raised so that a bachelor's degree
or equivalent is now the required scholastic preparation. While the
Theological Seminary has its own organization, the Seminary and the
College function in close cooperation. Long experience has proved
this arrangement to be mutually wholesome and stimulating.
Five presidents have served Augsburg during the course of its history. The terms of office of two of these cover a span of over half a
century. The first president was August Weenaas, who served from
1869 to 1876. He was succeeded by Georg Sverdrup, 1876 to 1907.
Sven Oftedal served from 1907 to 1911 and was followed by George
Sverdrup, whose term extended from 1911 to 1937. H. N. Hendrickson
served as acting president from 1937 until 1938. Bernhard Christensen,
the present president, has served since that time.
FUNDAMENTAL AIMS
The educational purposes of Augsburg College and Theological
Seminary spring from the conviction that in the Christian religion
there are revealed the most basic truths concerning both man and
God, and that Christianity is the fundamental force for good in human
life and society. All the aims of the College, as well as those of the
Seminary, are integrated with this principle. To express more distinctly
some major aspects of its program of Christian higher education, the
following statement of aims has been formulated by the college faculty:
T o 2ead the student to a deeper understanding and personal experience of the truth and power of the Christian Gospel, to the end
that he may become both an effective participant in the work of
the Christian Church and an earnest adirocate of the Christian way
of life.
To familiarize the student with the culture of our own and other
civilizations, not only for the enjoyment this knowledge affords
but also for the development of a more sympathetic understanding
of our fellow men throughout the world.
To develop the student's interest in the attainment of the common
purposes of our country, so that he may work for the welfare of
our institutions and for the preservation of our liberties in community and nation, and also develop an enlightened interest and
participation in human affairs throughout the rest of the world.
T o cultivate i n the student a Christian social spirit, in order that
he may realize in his life a right balance between what he expects
of others and the service he will render his fellow men.
T o teach the student to discipline his own urges, interests, ambitions, and demands in a way that will effectively contribute toward
the development of good character.
T o train the student i n scientific methods of study and also develop his understanding of the relations of science to the welfare of
humanity.
T o stimulate intellectual interest and develop scholarly insight,
so that the student may learn to think with accuracy and comprehension at the same time as he experiences an understanding of
truth which will help him to integrate the findings of science with
the deepest spiritual reality.
T o awaken and foster i n the student an intelligent appreciation
and enjoyment of the best i n the fields of the fine arts.
T o guide the student in the understanding of social relationships
in order that he may take his place in groups and gatherings with
propriety and grace, motivated in his conversation and conduct by
the principles of Christian courtesy and sincerity.
T o provide guidance for the student in the discovery and clarification of his aptitudes and his life purposes so that as early as
possible he may plan his educational program wisely.
T o train students in vocational and professional lines, giving full
preparation for high school teaching, business administration, home
economics, and parish work; furnishing partial training towards
the study of medicine, dentistry, nursing, engineering, law, and
social service, and offering a four-year college course preparing
for the study of theology.
T o help the student evelop certain skills, as in language, music,
physical activities, use o the library, laboratory work, and typewriting, together with other skills, which will increase his efficiency
in the various relationships of life.
\
To afford the student wholesome recreational experience which
will contribute toward an effective use of leisure time and develop
such qualities as leadership, sportsmanship, and self-control, with
good recreational habits, thus providing a constant source of social
and personal satisfaction.
T o instrut the student in principles, attitudes, and ideas pertuining to health, and also to train him in practices and skills which
will promote his physical and mental well-being and make him
better fit to meet the responsibilities of life.
Students who enroll at Augsburg are invited to take up their college
work with the distinct understanding that the Christian spirit is determining in all things, They are expected to cooperate wholeheartedi~in
the program of the school towards that end. The entire program of the
school curricular and e*a-curricular,
and the discipline necessary
to make poscfible the carrying out of this program, v r i n g from the
aim "to see all hings through the e p s of Christ."
FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND CONTROL
From 1870 to 1890, Augsburg was supported by the NorwegianDanish Lutheran Conference. The merger of that church body with
two others, in 1890, resulted in the a5liation of Augsburg with the
newly created United Norwegian Lutheran Church. Due to differences
concerning the control of Augsburg, a division arose, and in 1897 congregations whose sympathies were deeply rooted in Augsburg formed
the Lutheran Free Church. The resulting close association, in educational and spiritual activity, of Aug'sburg and the Lutheran Free
Church has been marked by complete harmony of purpose and ideals
for more than half a century.
The control exercised by the Lutheran Free Church is indirect. The
Annual Conference of the Church nominates the members of the
Augsbu~gCorporation and the Board of Trustees. The Corporation
through the Board of Trustees exercises direct control over property,
finance, and personnel. Academic control is vested in the President
and the Faculty.
In addition to the income from student tuition and fees, which has
materially increased with the growth and develop~nentof the Callege,
the chief financial support of the i n s t i t ~ i o ncomes from the congcgstions of the Lutheran Free Church. In recent years a praning circle
of friends also outside the Lutheran Free Chu~ch.both alumni and
others, have contributed financially to the support of the school. Augsburg welcomes and invites such support on the part of all who believe
in her program of vital Christian education.
MEMBERSHIP IN EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS

tion of Colleges and Secondary School as a degree-granting institution.
It is a member of the American Council on Education, the Associatioll

affairs of the Association are under the leadership of the Board of
Directors. Mr. Kenneth Lower is the Executive Secretary and editor of
the Bulletin. The Alumni Ofice is located in Science Hall.
THE AUGSBURG FOUNDATION
The Augsburg Foundation, formerly the Augsburg Foundation
Fellowship, is an association of alumni, former students, and other
friends of Augsburg, having as its purpose to give united and systematic support, both spiritual and financial, to the school. The Foundation was established in 1941 by joint action of the Board of Trustees
and the Alumni Association. Its work is directed by a General Committee of nine members. A Foundation Day is held each year.

are several collections: a Madagascar Collection, a Santal Collection,
and a considerable collection of rare minerals, curios, etc. Contributions
to the Museum are invited. Professor Kleven is the curator.
THE A R C H I ~ S
The Augsburg Archive Society was organized in 1929, for the purpose of gathering documents, books, and other articles of historical
value. For a number of years a fire-proof room in the Main housed
the archives collections. With the erection of the George Sverdrup
Library in 1955, adequate, fire-proof quarters for the archives were
provided. Here are now found a fine collection of periodicals, old and
rare books, manuscripts, letters, and pictures, and also about 1,000
volumes of Norwegian-American literature, affording extensive resources for scholarly research. Contributions to the Archives should
he sent to Prof. Iver Olson, Archivist.
The beautiful and spacious new George Sverdrup Library provides
a central study-workshop for both faculty and students. It contains
about 30,000 volumes, exclusive of pamphlets, all available on open
stacks. The two large reading rooms have book stacks and reading
tables arranged in such a way that a place for study is always close
.to the books one may need. Additional conveniences include conference rooms, where from 2 to 6 students may study together, and
seminar rooms for larger groups or small classes. A typing corner is
provided in the ground floor reading room.
The library subscribes to about 300 of the best periodicals and
pamphlets dealing with a large variety of subjects as well as a number of serials devoted to the interests of special fields.
In the Twin City area other libraries are located which make their
holdings available to Augsburg students, notably, the St. Paul and
Minneapolis public libraries, the latter of which issues library cards
to out-of-town students for each school year; the James Hill Reference
Library in St. Paul, which has one of the finest reference collections
in the Northwest; and the University of Minnesota Library, which is
within walking distance of the Augsburg campus. Each year Augsburg
students make extensive use of all these libraries.
The laboratories of the Natural Sciences are located in the Science
IIall. Three laboratories and two storerooms for Biology are located on
the second floor; three laboratories and a large storeroom for Chemistry, and a laboratory and two storerooms for Physics are located
on the third floor.
To facilitate instruction the college provides many excellent visual
and auditory aids. The audio-visual center is l~catedon the ground
floor of the Library. Available for classroom use, and for the use of
other college activities, are the following: Two 16 mm. sound movie
projectors, one combination 2x2 inch slide projector and 16 mm. film
strip projector, one 3x5 slide projector, a Balopticon, a sound amplification system, and magnetic tape recording machines. There is also a
well equipped photography department.
The auditorium in Science Hall is fully equipped for visual education classes and lectures. Several classrooms are also provided with
facilities for projection.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS OF STUDY
Evening classes are held as a community service for adults not enrolled in the day school. Announcement of courses to be offered are
made in the fall. Information about the evening school may be obtained from the office of the Dean.
Student nurses in the Schools of Nursing at the Lutheran Deaconess
and Swedish Hospitals in Minneapolis receive much of their first
semester of instruction at Augsburg College. Application for admission
to the Schools of Nursing should be made to the hospitals directly.
In cooperation with the Minneapolis General Hospital, Augsburg
offers work which enables the student to receive a college degree with
a major in Medical Technology. The first .three years of this work are
taken at Augsburg and a final twelve-month program is completed at
the hospital.
SPAN
Augsburg participates in the SPAN (Student Project for Amity
among Nations) program. This is a joint venture of the University of
Minnesota and several colleges in the state. Qualified students are
selected to spend a summer in informal study abroad. Applications are
made in the spring of the Sophomore year.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
A considerable part of the income on which Augsburg operates is
derived from endowment and from gifts, a major part of the latter
coming from the supporting church. Therefore, the fees charged the
student do not constitute the whole cost of his education, for he enjoys
the benefits of the gifts of those who believe in and support the work
of the school. For theological students, the church assumes the full
cost of tuition; a statement of other expenses in attending the seminary
is given in the Seminary section of the catalog.

PAYMENT OF ACCOUNTS
Student accounts are due in full at the time of registration in September and February. Parents may deposit money in advance at the
school or the student may make the payment when he registers. Recognizing that payment of fees in full at registration poses a financial
problem in some cases, the college has instituted a "deferred payment
plan". In this plan the college will accept, at the time of registration
in September and again in February, a
of $150.00 in the
case of resident. students and $75.00 for off-campus students. The
balance may be paid in monthly installments during the semester. To
defray the cost of the plan a charge of $1.00 is made for each payment on the student's account after registration.
1 Subjea to change.
REFUNDS
Students who cancel their registration before the middle of any
semester pay tuition at the rate of $14.00 per week for the t'ime during
which they have been in attendance. Students who cancel out after
the middle of the semester receive no refund of tuition. No refunds
are made of the Matriculation and Student Activity fees. Course fees
are paid at the rate of 10% per week by students who cancel out before the middle of the semester.
Payments for board and room are refunded in proportion to the
time students have been in residence. Students who move out ,of dormitories but do not cancel out of school are charged the full semester
room rent.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Financial aids in the form of loan funds, scholarships, grants-in-aid,
and employment assistance are available at Augsburg. Students must
meet certain requirements to qualify for loans or scholarships. The
college gives assistance to students in securing work both on and off
the campus.
LOAN FUNDS
Several loan funds have been established to assist students in working out their financial problems. Loans may be arranged at a reasonable rate of interest for various periods of time.
The General Student Loan Fund, established through the gifts of
many individual donors, is chiefly maintained by contributions from
the Augsburg College Women's Club.
The Olaf Rogne Fund, established in 1954, extends assistance to
students in the Seminary.
The Charles and Nora Crouch Student Loan Fund, established in
1954, extends assistance to members of all classes.
The Senior Loan Fund, established by the class of 1955, is available
to selected graduating seniors.
The John and Anna Jorgine Gregory Theo2ogical Student Loan Fund
is available to students who are preparing for the ministry.
The Student Aid Fund of the Zion Lutheran Hour, established by the
Zion Lutheran Church of Minot, North Dakota, likewise extends loans
to students preparing for the ministry.
Arrangements for the loans are made through a conference with the
Dean of Students, chairman of the faculty committee on student loans.
In addition to arranging loans, the committee counsels students on
financial matters with the objective in mind of helping the student work
out a satisfactory plan for his finances.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND PRIZES
Forty Freshman Scholarships, amounting to tuition for the second
half of the Freshman year, are offered to outstanding high school

special need of financial assistance. To qualify for a grant, a student
r.11ust make application, providing information about his own and his
family's resources and anticipated expenses.
EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
The employment service, located in the Placement Office, has been
successful in placing hundreds of men and women students in parttime positions. The types of work secured are of many kinds, including recreational leadership, restaurant work, domestic service, sales
work, and secretarial and clerical work.
Students are employed by the college in many activities. For these
positions preference is given to upper-class students who have maintained a good scholastic average.
Assistance in securing summer employment is also provided each
spring by the Employment Service.
Application forms for part-time employment on or off campus may
be secured from the Admissions or Placement Offices.
STUDENT -COMMUNITY LIFE
The influences which mould life and character on a college campus
are of many kinds. While the exercises of classroom, laboratory, and
Library form the organizing basis of college activity, they need to
be supplemented by other than academic forces. These intangible but
very real supplementary influences have much to do with creating the
spirit of an institution. At Augsburg definite emphasis is placed upon
the maintenance of a wholesome spirit of Christian community living.
Students are urged to give conscious attention to this personal and
spiritual side of their development and thus contribute toward the
prevalence of a vital and happy Christian atmosphere on the campus.
It is the earnest desire of those who direct the policies of Augsburg
that the institution may constantly be permeated by an atmosphere in
which the quest for Truth as it is in Christ is prayerfully fostered in
each life.
All students are required to register for two class hours per week
in one of the courses offered in Religion.
There are numerous voluntary religious activities in which students are encouraged to participate. Spiritual Emphasis Week is held twice each year. It is assumed
that every Augsburg student will find a church home in Minneapolis
and attend its services regularly.
It is expected of each student that his life, conduct, and influence,
both on and off campus, shall be worthy of a member of a Christian
College. Those who do not feel drawn to this quality of life and to the
fellowship in which it is nourished should not seek to be enrolled at
Augsburg. A truly Christian spirit and environment must be the
product of the united effort and prayer of faculty, students, and
administration.
THE CHAPELSERVICE
The heart of Augsburg's program of Christian education is the daily
Chapel Service, where the faculty and students gather for united worship, prayer, and a brief meditation upon the Word of God. Regular
attendance is expected of all students.
REI;IG~OUS
PROGRAM
The Religious Life Committee, composed of students and faculty,
endeavors to promote a religious program that will stimulate growth
of Christian life in the Augsburg community. Co-chairmen of this
council are the student Director of Religious Activities and the College
Pastor. Areas for which this committee carries primary responsibility
are the Mid-Week services, Spiritual Emphasis Weeks, prayer meetings, and informal group meetings.
This committee also serves as a coordinating agency for all volunteer
Christian organizations on campus. The two principal organizations
are the Lutheran Student Association and the Mission Society.
The Mission Society promotes interest in missions through a program of study, fellowship, worship, and seriice. A highlight of the
year is the Mission Festival, a week-end conference devoted to the
study of missionary activity, and recruitment of workers. The Lutheran
Student Association seeks to serve as a stimulus and outlet for Christian faith and life. Students participate in regional and national LSA
Conferences, and conduct a schedule of meetings on campus.
The Concordia Society is an organization for all the students in the
Theological Seminary.
Regular convocation programs are held at Augsburg throughout
the year. These programs acquaint the campus community with outstanding personalities in various fields. A wide range of interests is
covered, including the scientific, political, social, religious, and artistic.
Students at Augsburg are given many opportunities for social training and recreation. The Student Council through the Chairman of
Social Activities, assisted by a Committee on Social Education, sponsors each month an all-school social activity which all students may
attend. Most of these are informal. The Sophomore and Junior classes
sponsor semi-formal banquets. The Associated Women Students and
a number of other organizations sponsor teas, dinners, and social
affairs on and off campus.
"No man is a hypocrite in his pleasures." To learn to enjoy the
right form of recreational activities is an important aspect of preparation for life. At Augsburg there is a definite attempt to encourage the
formation of helpful recreational habit-patterns, not only with regard
to the planned play program supervised by the Director of Recreation
and the Department of Physical Education, but also with regard to
the use of leisure time in general.
Augsburg's location in Minneapolis gives its students unique oppqrtunities to make use of some of the finest educational and cultural
advantages which the Northwest has to offer. Excellent art collections
are to be found in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Walker
Art Center. The Twin City libraries are .extensive in their services.
The Historical Museum in St. Paul gives access to large collections of
historical material. The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra programs
and other concerts afford rich opportunity for music appreciation.
Many students and faculty attend Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra
concerts by virtue of a special college season ticket arrangement.
Season tickets are available also for other University concerts and
the University Theater drama programs. Symphony Forums are held
.on campus each year, with speakers from the Orchestral Association
or the Orchestra.
A bi-weekly bulletin, Events of Interest in Minneapolis, listing pro.
grams, concerts, art displays and exhibitions is compiled and issued
from the Student Personnel Office.
STUDENT PERSONNEL SERVICES
Institutional services to students are organized and administered
in accordance with plans and policies established by the Student Personnel Committee. Included are such services as Counseling, Testing,
Freshman Orientation, Student Records, The Student Health Service,
Housing and Food Service, Placement, S t u d a t Employment, and Coordination of Student Activities. The administration of these services
is centered in the Office of the Dean of Students.
Under the counseling program at Augsburg each student is assigned
a faculty counselor to assist him in the planning of his total college
program. All faculty members participate in counseling. The broad
intellectual interests of the faculty member are combined with the
professional skill and techniques of trained counselors to provide
counseling at various levels, and in many areas of student needs. Personal, social, and spiritual problems as well as vocational choice and
financial needs are given consideration.
As far as possible, the work of obtaining the necessary data about
the individual student and organizing the total program of counseling
is carried out by the Office of the Dean of Students in accordance with
the plans and policies established by the Student Personnel Committee.
These plans include testing, assignment of counselors, scheduling of
group conferences and counseling periods. Each new student is assigned a faculty member who is his counselor for two years. When
a student enters the Upper Division, he chooses a major field of study.
The major adviser then becomes his counselor. Faculty counselors
confer with their counselees at regular intervals throughout the year
and at other times as the needs of the individual student appear. If a
serious problem develops which demands professional skill and more
time than the professor has to spend in counseling, the student is referred by way of the Office of the Dean of Students to professionally
qualified counselors. The Dean of Women and the Dean of Students
are special counselors to the women and the men, respectively.
Students receive vocational counseling in conference with their
counselors, and have frequent opportunities to confer with persons who
are eminently successful in the particular professions selected by
students as their tentative occupational choices. An Occupational Information file in the college library provides materials for a study of
vocations. The Orientation course, required of all freshmen, includes a
unit on vocational planning. The results of a vocational interest test
are available for all students.
Students who have various personal problems are encouraged to seek
help through counseling conferences. Often students have been able
to solve problems of finances, social adjustment, and personality
through counseling sessions.
Those who have spiritual problems may confer with the College
Pastor, or with members of the Department of Religion as well as
with their faculty counselor. By a system of referral, students may
receive counsel from any member of the faculty, or from qualified
persons beyond the college community. The Personnel deans are available at all times for special counseling conferences.
The college physician is consulted in regard to all problems pertaining to physical and mental health.
Counselors and major advisers strive to help students develop their
latent abilitjr. Students who distinguish themselves acad&nically are
named on the Dean's List, and are thereby qualified to participate
in a study program designed to develop their special talents to the
highest degree. Honor societies such as the Augsburg Guild of Honor
and Lambda Iota Tau recognize students who have excelled in several
areas.
All new students are given a battery of tests during Freshman Days.
College aptitude scores, English, and reading ability scores are used
by counselors to help students plan their initial programs. Personal
adjustment scores and the vocational interest test profile help the
students learn to know more about themselves, in order to make the
best choice of subjects and occupational goals. Sophomores participate in a nation-wide testing program. Seniors also take a nationally
standardized test.
Freshmen and other new students participate in Freshman Days
before the beginning of classes each semester. The students take tests,
inspect the college facilities, and become acquainted with their fellow
students, with the faculty, and especially with their own faculty counselors. The faculty counselors and students have several conferences
during which they plan the student's program of study.
All freshmen enroll in a class in Orientation. In this course, the
students learn about standards and requirements of various areas of
college life. Methods and habits of study and related techniques are
explored. Personal health, social adjustment, personal finances, and
vocational aims are discussed.
RECORDS
Individual student records are kept in the Records Office under the
supervision of the Registrar. These records include admissions data,
academic achievement, student participation and achievement in nonacademic activities, test scores, reports of counseling and other information.
The Student Personnel Office maintains a file of clubs and societies,
including the constitutions, activities, schedules, and membership roster.
THE STUDENT
HEALTHSERVICE
The Student Health Service provides campus dispensary service
with a registered nurse in charge. The college physician has daily office
l~ours on campus for consultation and for emergency treatment.
Physical examinations are given all entering students and seniors.
Corrective treatment is prescribed where needed. Infirmary rooms are
adjacent to the dispensary. The Health Service is housed in a ground
floor section of Memorial Hall, the men's residence hall.
Students, faculty, and staff have chest X-rays taken semi-annually
through the cooperation of the Hennepin County Tuberculosis Association Mobile Unit. The Department of Physical Education conducts a
program of recreation for all students. All freshmen are required to
take a course in personal and community health.
Students not living at home must live in college operated housing
and take their meals in the college dining hall. Under certain conditions, students may make other arrangements after consultation with
the Dean of Women or Dean of Students.
Residence halls are open to students a day before regular schedules
become effective, and close a day after the term closes. Students who
wish to stay in residence during vacations must apply for the privilege.
Rooms are furnished except for bed linen, towels and blankets.
Laundry facilities are available in each residence. Bed linens and towels
may be rented at a reasonable cost. This service includes laundering,
pick up and delivery.
Augsburg's beautiful new Residence for Women, located at Sixth
Street and Twenty-fourth Avenue South, adequately houses one hundred fifty women, and provides a lounge, recreation facilities, and
grill service for all students. Sverdrup Ojtedal Memorid Hall, a men's
residence hall, houses one hundred fifty men, and also contains the
college dining rooms, and the student health service.
The Placement Bureau assists seniors and alumni in securing positions. Continuous contact is maintained with business, governmental,
welfare, and educational institutions and organizations at the local
as well as the state and national levels. Interviews are arranged both
on and off the campus. A registration fee and a small placement
fee are charged.
An employment service, located in the Placement Office, assists students in obtaining part time remunerative work. Many students find
it possible to pay part of their college expenses by this income. Employment can be obtained more satisfactorily after students have been
at the college for a time, and consequently, it is .desirable that a new
student should have sufficient funds to pay his entire expenses for at
least one semester.
Students are employed by the college in many phases of its opera-
tion. For these positions preference is given to upper-class students
who have maintained a good scholastic average and have a good employment record.
Assistance in securing summer employment is also provided for students each spring.
The Christian ideals of Augsburg give no room for such demoralizing practices as gambling, drinking, frequenting of public dances,
indiscriminate attendance at movies, and objectionable car'd playing.
Students enrolled at Augsburg are expected, therefore, not to participate in such practices.
Augsburg reserves the right to dismiss or to discipline any student
who is not amenable to advice and direction. The school likewise
reserves the right to dismiss any student whose general conduct or
influence is unwholesome. Such a student may be removed although
no formal charge is made against him.
Disciplinary problems, other than academic failure, are handled
through the Office of the Dean of Students. In all cases, careful investigation and counseling precedes any action.
OF STUDENT
ACTIVITIES
COORDINATION
The Coordinator of Student Activities assists student officers to
maintain effective functioning of student activities, and keeps on file
the club constitutions, rosters, and schedules of meetings. Faculty
sponsors are approved by the Coordinator.
The program of student activities is a primary responsibiiity of the
Student Council, legislative and executive body of the Augsburg Student Society. Faculty concern and responsibility for all student activities and the co-curricular program is assigned to the Faculty Council.
Liaison between the Student Council and the Faculty Council is the
function of the Student-Faculty Committee, whose special responsibility it is to promote student activity, and to keep the college activities
calendar. The Calendar is kept in the office of the Coordinator of Student Activities.
A weekly bulletin of events is furnished all college personnel by
the offiee of Student Personnel.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
The Augsburg Student Society, comprisingGthe whole student body
of Augsburg College and Theological Seminary, is organized to conduct student affairs, develop student initiative and leadership, and
provide opportunity for practical experience in the democratic processes of group activity.
The administration of student government is delegated to the Student
Council, a representative group of twenty-five students elected by the
various classes. The top five positions are nominated and elected
directly by the Student Society.
Each of the college classes has its own officers and participates in
student government through its representative on the Council.
Augsburg is a member of the National Student Associution. The local
NSA Council is elected by the Student Council.
The Student Council directs several service projects of interest to
the college community. These projects include the annual Campus
Chest Campaign, Political Action and Brotherhood weeks, and two
Leadership Training projects.
Counseling of freshmen by upper class students is conducted through
Campus-Brother Campus-Sister groups.
Associated Women Students, composed of all the women students,
provides opportunity for the women to develop a degree of self g ~ v ernment. It aims to create a sense of harmony and fellowship, to promote and maintain high standards of honor and integrity in personal
conduct, and it encourages participation in all college activities. It is
affiliated with the Intercollegiate Associated Women Students, a national organization.
The Student Council office and the Council Room adjoin the Augsburg Echo and Augsburgian offices on the ground floor of Science
Hall. The student post office and Student Center occupy a prominent
place on the same floor, and serve as a focal point for student
activities.
The Augsburg Echo, the college newspaper, is published by a student
staff. The top staff members are named by The Board of Publications,
one of the Student Council agencies. The Faculty adviser teaches
courses in journalism. Staff members enrolled in the classes earn
academic credit.
Augsburg's yearbook, the Augsburgiun, provides a pictorial record
of the activities of the year. Work on the annual provides opportunity
for creative expression in artistic design as well as in photography.
A student editor, named by the Board of Publications, with the
assistance of the Registrar, compiles the annual Student Handbook
and Directory.
CO-CURRICULAR PROGRAM
The enthusiasm and energy of students motivate them to pursue
their interests beyond the classroom. For most effecthe participation,
Several of
students with similar interests have united to form cI&.
these are extensions of courses beyond the class room. Others are
devoted to interests not offered in the curriculum. New clubs are
formed as the occasion demands.
STUDENT
CLUBS
The Aristotelian Society unites those who have a common interest
in scientific knowledge and experimentation. Thus they may develop
their interest in the various branches of science and perhaps infuse
some of that spirit of interest thrmghout the college.
The Art Club is organized to satisfy the student's creative urge in
the field of art, to educate members, as well as others, in the field of
art and all that it contains, and to promote an interest in art among
the student body.
The Business Club draws membership from the Business and Secretarial Studies classes. The development of professional interests is
the major objective.
The Canera Cbb is composed of camera fans who meet regularly
to exchange ideas about their hobby and to develop skill in photography.
The Cosmopolitan Club brings together foreign and American students who have a mutual interest in the cult'ure, language and people
of the various countries.
The Drama Society provides for its members an opportunity to
learn from participation in stage presentations and from field trips,
as well as from reading and seeing plays produced. Membership is
open to all students.
The F ~ u r eTeachers of America offers to its members associate
membership in professional education associations and strives to
acquaint future teachers with the importance of teaching as a profession. Interest in education or in the teaching profession is the only
requirement for membership.
The Home Economics Club, open to all students in the Home Economics Department, aims to promote professional attitudes toward all
aspects of home and community life.

wide range of recreational activities is arranged for general student
participation. Every student is urged to participate in some activity
for his own recreation and relaxation.
An intramural program provides competition in a variety of team
sports as well as individual performance activities. Climaxing the intramural program is the Extramural Meet, a tournament for the winners
of intramural schedules in various colleges.
Augsburg is a member of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference. The college is represented annually by teams in football,
basketball, hockey, baseball, track, tennis, and golf.
PURPOSE AND PHILOSOPHY OF INTERCOLLEGIATE
ATHLETICS
It is the purpose of Augsburg College to provide an intercollegiate
athletic program which is in harmony with its Christian philosophy.
This philosophy is to be reflected in the conduct and outlook of both
the players and the spectators. The educational program of the collegerecognizes that recreation and play are a fundamental part of human
life, and that this phase of life needs to be cultivated if physical,
mental, and emotional health are to be maintained. Intercollegiate
athletics, as a phase of that program, gives recognition to the fact that
competitive play can cnntribute to the development of student interests,
skills, insights, and loyalties.
More specifically, the following outcomes are sought: (1j The student participating in athletics should acquire and exhibit, both in and
out of athletics, such basic qualities of character as self-discipline,
honesty, sense of fair play, and cooperation. (2) The participant
should develop the knowledge, interests, and skills which will be of
special use to him in such vocations as teaching and coaching or re-,
creational leadership, or in his own recreational activities: Far from
being set apart from his educational goal or in any way competing
with it, the student's participation in intercollegiate athletics must
either contribute directly to this goal or be complementary to his
other educational activities. (3) The student spectator should acquire
and exhibit some of the finer qualities of Christian character, such
as self-restraint, sense of fair play, appreciation of high grade ,performance on the part of both opponents and fellow-students, and respect for individual personality. (4) The intercollegiate athletic program should contribute to the development of a unified and healthy
"school spirit." Enthusiasm for intercollegiate
athletics or other cocurricular activities should not overshadow pride in high scholastic
achievement, nor can it take the place of a well-rounded and effective
intramural and general recreational program.
HONORS AND AWARDS
The 1925 Class Cup in Atfitics is awarded to the athlete who has
made outstanding records both in athletics and in scholarship.

Hall.

grades nine to twelve in an accredited high school. No definite pattern
of subjects is required, but it is recommended that the last four years
of high school include four units of English, or three units of English
and two of a foreign language, two units of social studies, and one
unit of mathematics. A unit is defined as a course covering one academic year and equivalent to at least 120 hours of classwork. Graduates of unaccredited high schools are considered for admission on the

literary materials, social science materials, and natural science materials.
For most graduates of Minnesota high schools the results of the
college aptitude and English achievement tests are available in advance if they have been taken in the state-wide testing program. The
General Educational Development tests are available to service men
through the Armed Forces Institute. All tests may, however, be taken
at Augsburg by arrangement with the Registrar.
The College reserves the right to reject the applications of studepts
whose previous records or aptitudes, as measured by tests, indicate
they may have difliculty in doing college work.

in English will be required to register for a special course in English.
Such deficiency and the requirements with regard to additional training will be determined at the beginning of the Freshman year by
means of tests. The requiremenb include the attainment of definite
standards as to spelling, grammar, pronunciation, and general correctness in the use of the English language.
TRANSFER AND ADVANCED STANDING
Students are accepted by transfer from other institutions if they
did satisfactory work and were otherwise in good standing there. If
their previous work was unsatisfactory, they are admitted to Augsburg
only under special circumstances.
Advanced standing, that is, credit for courses completed, is granted
to students who present satisfactory transcripts from accredited institutions. In certain cases advanced standing is granted on the basis of
comprehensive examinations.

the days designated in the Calendar for this purpose. Students who
register later than three days after classes begin are charged a late
registration fee of $3.00. No student may register for or enter a
course later than two weeks after the beginning of classes.
In registering, care should be taken to include the Lower Division
requirements during the first two years. However, if such registration
is delayed beyond the second year, a student will neither be required
nor permitted to register beyond the allowed number of credit hours
per semester in order to make it up.
- No credit will be given a student for any subject for which he has
not registered. The college reserves the right to cancel any course for
which there is not sufficient registration.
Registration means that the student accepts all the rules and regulations established by the school.
The normal registration is 16 credit hours. A credit hour is defined
as one recitation period a week throughout
a semester.
The privilege of registering for more than 17% credit hours may
be granted only to students who have gained an average record of B,
or two honor points per credit, in their previous college studies. Exceptions to this rule may be made under certain conditions determined
by the Admissions and Scholarship Committee. No student is permitted to carry work for more than 20 credits per semester.
Students working part-time are urged to arrange the amount of
their registration accordingly.

he must obtain a form from the Registrar's o6ce on which he may
make application, stating clearly his reasons for desiring the change.
Approval of the teachers concerned and the student's adviser and the
Registrar must be obtained before a change will be permitted. A
course which is abandoned without being cancelled through the Registrar's Office will result in a grade of F.
Changes of registration which involve the adding of courses cannot
be made later than two weeks after the beginning of classes. Changes
which involve canceling a course cannot be made after the middle of
the semester.
A fee of $1.00 is charged for each change of registration after the
beginning of the second week of classes.
A student who finds it necessary to leave school before the end of
a semester must cancel his registration at the Registrar's office in
order to remain in good standing.
UNIVERSITY COURSES
By arrangement with the University of Minnesota, students may
register for courses at the University. But such registration will not
be allowed unless the student has a grading of C average, or 1 honor
point per credit, in his courses at Augsburg. Also, the combined number of credits in any semester must not exceed 17. The credits thus
gained at the University may be transferred to Augsburg College and
counted towards graduation.
CLASSIFICATION
In order to be classified in one of the college classes, a student
must be carrying a minimum of twelve hours of work in which college
credit is given. Classification is based on the attainment of the following number of credit hours together with an equal number of
honor points: Sophomore, 24; Junior, 58; Senior, 92. Students are
classified by this regulation at the time of their registration each
school year.
PROBATION AND ELIMINATION
The Admissions and Scholarship Committee meets at the end of each
semester to consider the status of students who are doing unsatisfactory work. Freshmen who obtain honor point ratios of .5 or below,
Sophomores .6 or below, and Senior College students .8 or below, as
well as students with 6 or more credits of F, at the end of a semester
are placed on probation during the semester that follows. They remain
on probation until an honor point ratio of 1 is attained for a semester.
A student is not allowed to remain in college on probation for more
than two semesters consecutively, except by special permission. He is
dropped for low scholarship if he fails to maintain a satisfactory
scholastic record.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
Regular attendance in class is required. Students who find it necessary to be absent because of illness b r for other reasons should confer
with their teachers.
Students are expected to arrange the hours of part-time employment so that work does not conflict with classes. Any exception to this
rule must be agreed to by the teacher of the class affected and must
be approved by the Dean of the College.
A record of attendance is kept by each teacher, and periodic reports
are submitted to the Registrar. At the end of the semseter, a record
is made of the total absences of each student for the semester.
Absences for tours, field trips and other instructor-arranged activities are cleared with the Dean of the College. Lists of participants,
with information as to exact p i o d s absent, are issued by the Dean
to all instructors involved.
Teachers deal with tardiness as they see fit. Students arriving' in
class late must assume responsibility for reporting their presence to
the teacher.
EXAMINATIONS
Tests are given periodically throughout the semester. In the course
of each semester, reports of the grades attained are made to the
Registrar who forwards them to the counselors and students. Final
reports are sent at the close of each semester to the parents and
students.
Written examinations are regularly scheduled at the close of each
semester. No student or class may arrange to take a final examination
in any course before the examination week.
Absence from a final examination without a sufficient reason will
result in a grade of failure in the course concerned.
A student who has to be absent from a final examination because
of a conflict with outside work from which he cannot obtain an excuse
may arrange to take such an examination during some period after
the time on which the subject is scheduled.
If a student has obtained permission from the Dean of the College
to take a final examination at another hour than that scheduled, he is
a fee of two dollars for such an examination. Before the stues the examination, he must obtain a statement from the Registrar's office and bring it to the teacher concerned. The teacher will
give no examination before he has this statement.
CONDITIONS AND INCOMPLETES
A condition or an incomplete received at the end of the semester
must be removed within the first five weeks of classes of the following
semester of attendance or within a year if the student has not re-enrolled. Extension of this time may be made by the Registrar's O5ce
in cases of illness. If incompletes and conditions are not removed
within the time allowed, the condition automatically becomes a failure
and the incomplete may be changed to a passing grade only when
the average of the previous work is sufficiently high. The final grade
after the condition examination is taken may not be higher than D.
A fee of $2.00 is charged for an examination making up an incomplete or a condition reecived at the end of a semester.
COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATIONS
Compre)lensive examinations may be permitted in courses in which
the Admissions and Scholarship Committee feels the student has adequate preparation or background. Students who wish to take a comprehensive examination must apply in writing to this committee.
When permission is granted, the necessary approval forms may be
secured at the office of the Registrar. A fee of $5.00 is charged for
each examination and must be paid in advance. Examination questions and the answers will be filed in the Registrar's office.

SOCIAL
WORK
A rapid expansion of the field of social work during the past twenty
years has created an acute lieed for trained social workers. Positions
are available in public agencies on federal, state, county, and municipal
levels; in private agencies sponsored by churches or other community
organizations; in group work, case work, or community organization.
In response to this need, Augsburg College has developed a cumculum designed to do two things: (a) equip graduates for immediate
employment in social work positions that do not ,require post-graduate
training and (b) prepare students for further study in graduate schools
of social work.
Augsburg College is an active member of the Minnesota Conference
on Social Work Education. During recent years graduates of Augsburg
have secured positions in both public and private welfare, in probation work, child welfare, group work, and case work.
The following courses are recommended for students interested in
Social Work. The courses which are italicized should be taken by all
such students.

DIVISION OF RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY
Through the study of religion and philosophy, the individual is apprised of
the central realities of life and encouraged to build on the certainties of the
Christian faith. The work proceeds on the assumption that Christianity alone
can furnish a unifying principle which gives meaning to human existence. The
student is challenged to accept this point of view--to relate himself to Christ
as the center, to evaluate all his studies and experiences in the light of revealed
truth, and to make consistent use of all his talents and training. The goal to
be desired is the development of an informed and integrated Christian personality dedicated to the realization of God's kingdom on earth.
Department of Religion
The courses in Religion are designed to give the student a working knowledge of the Bible, to acquaint him with the history, doctrines, and ethics of the
Church, and to prepare him for effective service in the congregation. The fundamental aim in instruction is to lead as many as possible to personal faith in
Christ, and to nurture the Christian life.
All full time students are required to register for two class hours ,per week
in one of the courses offered in religion during each semester of their studies.
Registration in New Testament Greek satisfiies this requirement.
