Introduction Few liberal arts colleges combine the excitement and vitality of a metropolitan center with the smallness and intimacy of the rural setting. Augsburg is 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 i s 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 o f 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." I n 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 education of knowledge from a number of fields. Augsburg recognizes that concentration is necessary in your chosen field. You may choose from a variety of majors for hundreds of career possibilities. Augsburg is i n the center of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. In this metropolitan setting, a rich kaleidoscope of resources and activities i s available t o 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 i n 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 i s a distinctive combination: a strong academic program, a capable and dedicated staff, an eager student body and a remarkable location.

The Ice Arena, built i n 1974, provides two large skating areas for Augsburg and the metropolitan community. It is used for hockey, recreational skating, and figure skating. The Speech and Drama Building was acq u i r e d i n 1959 and remodeled f o r dramatic and other speech activities. A theater wing addition t o Melby Hall, replacing the old music hall, is proposed for completion late i n 1980. Annex Houses, located i n the campus area, provide accommodations for students, faculty, a n d staff members. Academic Life Augsburg i s a modern well-equipped college which aims to provide i t s 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 i s available. Pre-professional preparation for such fields as engineering, medicine, law and t h e Christian ministry is offered. The College prepares students for graduate study in several disciplines. Preparation f o r careers in business, communications, medical technology, music, nursing, occupational therapy, social work, and teaching i s available. Augsburg seeks to assist i t s students through their academic experience to better understand themselves and the world and to equip them to serve according 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 its students. Augsburg recognizes its task to provide consistently high quality opportunities for learning along with support systems which enhance the teaching-learning process. Learning i s 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 inner 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 in this process. Neither party can elude its basic task. Faculty Augsburg has an able faculty who try to take a personal interest in their students. The student-faculty ratio i s approximately 15.5 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 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 160,000volumes including books, periodicals, records and various other media. The Music and Chemistry libraries are located within the departmental areas. Access t o 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 to the Augsburg faculty and students. A s e r v i c e - d e d i c a t e d staff p r o v i d e s students with assistance to meet diverse information needs including instruction i n the use of the library, standard reference service, guidance in pursuing term paper topics, and directions to 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 faculty 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 in four courses; during the interim concentration is on one subject. The interim period i s 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 i n this change from the general academic schedule. Interest in music may take form i n 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 opportunities for those interested in 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. In selecting courses t o meet the general distribution requirements, students may select an approved course in the areas of mathematics or physics, chemistry or biology, psychology or sociology, economics o r p o l i t i c a l science, history o r philosophy, and English or speech, communication and theater arts. The study of a foreign language is required. Proficiency in English writing must be demonstrated. One course from an approved list of courses containing an emphasis on urban concerns i s required as is prof i c i e n c y i n t w o l i f e t i m e sports. For details on general education requirements, see the Academic Administration section.

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 i s suggested that requirements for admission t o graduate schools or seminaries be reviewed and then the course of study at Augsburg be planned accordingly.

Such students should confer with the professor within t w o 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 i n 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. Graduation with Distinction Graduation with distinction is determined as follows: Summacumlaude Magnacumlaude Cum laude 3.8 - 4.0 g r a d e average 3.6 - 3.79 grade average 3.3 - 3.59 grade average To qualify for graduation with distinction, transfer students must have completed two years (14traditionally graded courses) of work at Augsburg. Independent Study An opportunity for independent study i s offered through many departments. This i s available to conscientious students who demonstrate sufficient background and preparation in a given field to carry out work on an independent basis. Most departments also offer an opportunity for directed study. As the term suggests, this requires considerably more faculty direction than for independent study, and a student i s not expected t o have as much background as for independent study. Directed study is offered on a lower division level. Students interested in registering for either independent study or directed study must first secure permission from the faculty who will direct the study. A student who registers for independent study should normally expect to complete it i n one semester but may extend it into the next term by permission of the instructor. I n such cases, a grade of X i s given at the end of the first term, and the student will register again for the course i n order t o 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 i n which the independent study is proposed is not available on their home campus. Requests for exceptions t o this policy should be made directly to their own academic dean. The student will be charged for any special costs attached t o independent study by the host campus. Veterans Augsburg College is approved by the State Approving Agency for Veterans Training. Veterans should consult with the Office of the Registrar regarding completion of the enrollment certificate and the forwarding of other information t o the Veterans Administration. Students registered for three or more courses are classified as full-time students. It i s the responsibility of each veteran t o report any change i n 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 t h e case of extreme emergency. See section o n Grading. Grade reports are issued t o students following each term. A non-punitive grade which brings a veteran'; academic load for the term below three courses will be reported t o the Veterans Administration. Veterans will need to meet the requirements of the Veterans Administration regarding repayment of educational assistance funds received. General Information Credit by Examination Students who are interested i n earning credit by examinations should consult with department chairpersons or with the Registrar. Credit may be earned through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) or by comprehensive examinations. Classification Sophomore.. . 7courses . .I4 grade pts.

To be considered full time for the year, a student must register for at least three courses each of the two semesters and one course during the interim (for a total of seven courses). To be considered full time for a semester, a student must register for at least three courses. Courses A full course i s offered for one course credit. A few fractional courses (one-half course credit) are offered i n the Division of Professional Studies. A full course has the approximatevalue of 4 semester credits. A total of 35 courses i s required for graduation. Most courses meet for three sixty-minute periods or two ninety-minute periods a week in addition t o laboratories. Each semester is approximately 15 weeks in length. Unforeseen circumstances may necessitate making changes in course offerings. Courses with inadequate registration may be cancelled. students shouid consult the schedule of classes to determine definitely the current course offerings.

Philosophy Chairperson: Kenneth Bailey Courses 110, 120, and 130 are recommended for fulfilling the general education requirement. MAJOR: 9 courses, including 130, 241, 242, 343, and 344. 110 I N T R O D U C T I O N T O PHILOSOPHY: IDEAS A N D M E T H O D M I N O R : 5 courses, including two courses from 241,242, 343, and 344. H O N O R S MAJOR: Admission t o the Philosophy Honors program i s by recommendation of the philosophy faculty. Such recommendations will be made at the end of the junior year. The program will consist of an honors thesis on an approved topic of the student's choice, involving research above the course level, and a defense of this thesis before the faculty of the department. Though each person has his own set of ideas and beliefs, rarely have they been critically analyzed or evaluated for their consistency, adequacy or truth. One reason for this i s that individuals lack the needed skills. Another is that they may have had little opportunity to examine critically some of the ideas basic to western culture. The purposes of this course are to provide the student with some experience i n examining ideas, and thereby to sharpen the critical and analytical skills required t o evaluate and construct a system of ideas and beliefs. (Fall, Spring) 120 ETHICS Sometimes you say that a certain action i s right or condemn it as wrong. Why do you think it i s right? Because you like it? Are there better reasons for thinking something right or wrong? This course takes a long, hard look at possible grounds for making moral decisions, and at the moral judgments about personal and social issues resulting from them. (Fall, Spring) 130 L O G I C Suppose someone gives you reasons, and then says you must accept a particular conclusion. Must you? When does a conclusion follow from premises? Here we examine the rules which govern valid arguments and work to develop your ability to recognize and construct sound arguments. (Fall, Spring). 241 HISTORY O F PHILOSOPHY I: P L A T 0 A N D ARISTOTLE How, when and why did philosophy begin? Who were Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and the Stoics; what did they believe? Why did Plato think that the physical world was not overly important, and what did he value? How did Aristotle, the scientist, respond to this? The answers to these and other questions will be considered as to reveal what these great philosophers can contribute to our contemporary problems and ideas. (Fall) 242 HISTORY O F PHILOSOPHY 11: MEDIEVAL A N D RENAISSANCE PHILOSOPHY The Middle Ages are often regarded as a period of darkness, whereas the Renaissance was a time of rediscovery and enlightenment. H o w dark were t h e Middle Ages; how enlightened the Renaissance?We shall attempt t o discover the grandeur of the Medieval philosophers, learn how the Christian tradition was carried forward i n the Age of Faith, explore the worship of the world and the individual i n the Renaissanceand the new methodology of the 17th Century rationalists. (Spring. Suggested prior course, 247.) 343 HISTORY O F PHILOSOPHY Ill: ENLIGHTENMENT A N D 19TH CENTURY PHILOSOPHY Where does knowledge begin? I n innate ideas or with experience? What can we really know about the world? What impact did Romanticism have on philosophy? This course studies the major empiricists of the 18th century (Locke, Berkeley, Hume). Kant's synthesis of philosophy, 19th century idealism, and the reaction to idealism in men such as Marx, Kierkegaard and Nietzsche. (Fall. Suggested prior course, 247 or 242.) 344 HISTORY O F PHILOSOPHY IV: C O N T E M P O R A R Y PHILOSOPHY What lies behind 20th century philosophy's love affair with language? I s truth that which works? Can we remake philosophy as a rigorous science? These and other issues are dealt with in astudy of the m a j o r representatives o f l i n g u i s t i c analysis, pragmatism, existentialism, and phenomenology. (Spring. Suggested prior course, 247, 242, or 343.) 350 PHILOSOPHY O F RELIGION What is the relation between faith and reason? Does God exist, and what can be said about him if he does? Can we reconcile the goodness of God with human and animal suffering? I s man really immortal? Are miracles possible?We intend to conduct a systematic inquiry into these questions which form the basis of religious beliefs. (Suggested: one prior course in philosophy.) 355 ORIENTAL PHILOSOPHY A study of the basic concepts and philosophies which underlie Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. (Suggested: one prior course in philosophy.) 360 PHILOSOPHY O F LANGUAGE Every day we use language to buy and sell, praise and berate, communicate with friends. What i s language? Could an individual be fully human without it? How does language relate to the world - can we really learn about the nature of things from words? Do the mathematician and the scientist have a language?I s it possible to have a language which only one individual can understand?We shall explore how philosophers have responded to these and other important questions about language. (Suggested prior course, 730 or 344.) 365 PHILOSOPHY O F SCIENCE The scientist's knowledge of the world i s purported to be profoundly different and better than that of the non-scientist. I s this true? What constitutes scientific knowledge? Are there certain real questions which science cannot answer? How certain are the methods used by the scientist to recover knowledge? In addition to dealing with these questions,students will work in researching and developing philosophical problems i n the special sciences. (Suggested prior course, 730 or one course in natural science.) 370 EXISTENTIALISM Studies in the writings - both philosophical and literary - of prominent Existentialist authors. We will examine what it means to be a being-in-the-world, and explore such themes as absurdity, freedom, guilt, despair and paradox. (Suggested: One prior course in philosophy) 380 MEDICAL ETHICS Application of ethical principles to problems which arise in the areas of health care and delivery, human experimentation, human engineering, abortion, care for the dying and euthanasia. 410 TOPICS I N PHILOSOPHY Advanced studies covering a specific area of philosophy, such as studies in the thought of individual philosophers, philosophical movements, the history of an idea or specific problem, or interdisciplinary problems.

The faculty and the Board of Regents of the College affirm the following as their understanding of the aims, philosophy, objectives and character of this institution. ULTIMATE AlMS TO contribute to the true good of human life and society. To contribute to the building of free and living congregations in the community of the Christian Church. BASIC PHILOSOPHY The Christian message concerning the redemptive act of God in Christ constitutes the greatest potential for good in human life and society; but this potential is realized only insofar as it is actualized in the minds and hearts of individuals. The redemption of the mind constitutes the unique educational task laid upon the Christian Church; in seeking to relate all learning to the truth of the Christian faith, the Christian college performs its greatest service both to the Church and to society. Where there is an atmosphere of free and honest inquiry, truth has the overwhelming advantage; the Christian college, therefore, pursues its purposes not by indoctrination or coercion, but by inviting teachers and students to join in a common search for truth and in a common attempt to see all truth in relation to ultimate Truth. PRIMARY OBJECTIVES To attract to the college students of high ability and genuine religious concern who can reap the maximum benefit from a program of Christian higher education. To provide a campus setting that is conducive to the spiritual, mental, moral and physical wellbeing of its students. To stimulate its students' intellectual interest, and to assist them to develop the habits and skills necessary for sound academic work. To acquaint its students with the spiritual, cultural and intellectual riches of mankind, both for the sake of the enrichment of their own lives and, through them, for the enrichment of their homes and communities. To confront its students with the problems and benefits of living and serving in an increasingly urban culture. To lead its students to a deeper understanding and experience of the Christian Gospel in its relati,on to every area of life and learning. To assist its students in discovering and clarifying their peculiar aptitudes and interests, and to provide training and counsel that will assist them in preparing for a life work appropriate thereto. To aid its students in the development of Christian attitudes and Christian qualities of character; and to encourage each GENERAL INFORMATION student to look upon his life as a Christian vocatio,n, and an opportunity for service t o God and man. DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER Augsburg College is a Christian community of life and learning. As a Christian academic community, Augsburg seeks that high level of excellence which is appropriate to such a community. Augsburg treasures its religious and cultural heritage as an institution founded by Lutheran immigrants from Norway who sought t o play a creative role in American life and society, and seeks to preserve the enduring values of this heritage in the life of the college community today. As a metropolitan college, Augsburg attempts to relate its faculty and students t o an urban culture by utilizing the educational, social, cultural and religious resources of the growing metropolitan community in which it is located. THE PHYSICAL PLANT Instructional facilities and student housing a t Augsburg are conveniently located in relation to each other. Old Main, erected in 1900, contains a large number of classrooms and offices. Science Hall, erected in 194849, includes the general administration offices; well-equipped laboratories for chemistry, phys- ics, and biology; a medium-sized auditorium; and several classrooms and faculty offices. The Lisa Odland Observatory, on the roof of Science Hall, was completed in the summer of 1960. The George Sverdrup Library, named in honor of Augsburg's fourth president, was erected and dedicated in 1955. Adjacent to Science Hall and of similar contemporary architectural design, it contains spacious reading rooms, seminars, work rooms, a visual-education center, the Augsburg Archives, classrooms, and a number o~f faculty offices. There is stack space for approximately 100,000 volumes. Melby Hall, the new auditorium-gymnasium, was completed in 1961. This building, named in honor of Professor J. S. Melby, dean of men from 1920 to 1942, basketball coach and head of the Christianity department, provides excellent facilities for the health and physical education program, intercollegiate athletics, chapel services and general auditorium purposes. East Hall, purchased in 1966, provides a rehearsal hall for the Concert Band and Repertoire Band as well as rehearsal and instruction rooms for instrumentalists. The Music Hall was acquired by purchase in 1947 and has been remodeled to provide vocal, string and piano rehearsal rooms together with a rehearsal room for large groups. The Speech and Drama Building was acquired in 1959 and remodeled to make an extremely functional building for dramatic and other speech activities. The Augsburg College Center, completed in 1967, is a center of non-academic activity on campus. The building houses the Commons, which is the name for the main dining area, plus private dining rooms and coffee shop. Student government and student publications have quarters in this building. The bookstore is also located here. Spacious lounges and recreational areas are provided in this threestory building containing 55,000 square feet of space. Urness Tower Residence for Women, completed in 1967, is an eleven-story building providing living quarters for 324 women students. The building was named in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Urness who have given several generous gifts to the college. A unique feature of the building is that each floor is considered a "house unit" providing the 36 residents, housed two to a room, with their own lounge, study and utility areas. The second floor level with main lounge, also provides an apartment for the head resident. There is an observation lounge a t the top of the structure. Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall, erected in 1938, was named in honor of Augsburg's second and third presidents. The building houses about 65 men students and provides for some faculty and administration offices in one wing. Sivertsen-Mortensen Hall in- corporates a building donated to the college in 1939 from the late Dr. Iver Sivertsen and Mrs. Sivertsen, and a larger addition erected in 1955 and named in honor of Miss Gerda Mortensen, dean of women at Augsburg from 1923 to 1964. The building provides housing for about 144 men students as well as apartments for the resident head. The Studio Building, dedicated in 1964, houses the Department of Art on its two floors. West Hall is an apartment building purchased in 1966 shortly after it was constructed. The building houses 38 women students and an apartment for the head resident. Cottage Houses. A large number of dwellings have been acquired in recent years in the expanded campus area to provide accommodations for men or women students, married students and for faculty and staff members. The President's Home, an attractive colonial residence, is located on the West River Road. THE ARCHIVES The Augsburg Archives seeks to gather and make available for use documents, books, and other articles of historical value. The George Sverdrup Library provides adequate, fire-proof quarters for the archives. Here are found a large collection of periodicals, manuscripts, letters and pictures, affording extensive resources for scholarly research. - LIBRARY FACILITIES The beautiful and spacious George Sverdrup Library provides a central study-workshop for both faculty and students. It contains about 70,000 volumes, exclusive of pamphlets, and is adding approximately 7,000 new volumes each year. Students and faculty working in either of the two large reading rooms find the atmosphere conducive to quiet study and research materials close at hand. All books are kept on open shelves. Reference service, provided by an able and welltrained staff, is available to students. Special collections have been developed in the Music Library, the Chemistry Library, the Curriculum and Library Science Libraries, and in the Audio-Visual Center. In 1966, the AmericanScandinavian Foundation presented its collection of Scandinavian music to the College. Additional conveniences include conference rooms for larger groups or small classes. A typing comer is provided in the first-floor reading room. The library subscribes to nearly 600 of the best periodi- cals dealing with a large variety of subjects, as well as a number of serials devoted to the interests of special fields. Current issues are displayed in a pleasant browsing area. The library plays an active role in promoting general reading, presenting regular book displays, and sponsoring monthly book discussions for faculty, staff, and students. In the Twin City area are other libraries 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. NATURAL SCIENCE LABORATORIES The laboratories of the Natural Sciences are located in the Science Hall. Four laboratories and storeroom and office space for bidogy are located on the second floor; three larger laboratories and two special research laboratories for chemistry and two laboratories for physics are located on the third and fourth floors. A chemistry library is located near the research facilities. Storerooms and faculty offices are also located here.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Financial aid in the form of loan funds, scholarships, and parttime employment is available a t Augsburg College. Augsburg participates in the College Scholarship Service (CSS) of the College Entrance Examination Board. Participants in CSS subscribe to the principle that the amount of financial aid granted a student should be based uposn financial need. The CSS assists the college's financial aid officer in determining the student's need for financial assistance. Entering students seeking financial assistance are required to submit a copy of the Parents' Confidential Statement (PCS) form to the College Scholarship Service, designating Augsburg College as one of the recipients, by March 15. The PCS form may be obtained from a secondary school or the College Scholarship Service, Box 881, Evanston, Illinois 60204. All upper-class students are required to submit a Parents' Confidential Statement-Renewal form each year. 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 maintained chiefly by contributions from the Augsburg College Women's Club. National Defense Student Loans, established by the National Defense Education Act of 1958, are available t o students capable of maintaining good standing in their chosen course of study. Special consideration will be given to all students with a superior academic background. Loans will normally be granted for the academic year, September through June, or the remaining balance thereof. Reapplication will be necessary for each succeeding loan period. United Student Aid Funds is a program of endorsing loans made by local banks to college students requiring financial assistance. A grant to the college by the Gamble-Skogmo Foundation provided the funds to establish the initial reserves required. The United Student Aid Fund Incorporation also handles the Federal Insured Loan program. Arrangements for all types of loans are made through a conference with the Dean of Students, chairman of the faculty committee on financial aid. 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.

It reserves the right to dismiss any student whose continuation in college is deemed undesirable for social as well as for academic reasons.

INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS Augsburg is a member of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The college is represented annually by teams in football, cross country, basketball, hockey, wrestling, 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 college recognizes 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 contribute to the development of student interests, skills, insights, and loyalties. More specifically, the following outcomes are sought: (1) 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 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 athletic program should contribute to the development of a unified and healthy "school spirit." Enthusiasm for intercollegiate athletics or other co-curricular 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. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS In order to participate in certain extra-curricular activities, students must meet established eligibility requirements. Organizations check eligibility of candidates by submitting a list to the Director of Student Activities for approval. Eligibility f w participation in intercollegiate athletics is governed by the rules of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

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 Admissions, Counseling, Testing, Freshman Orientation, Student Records, The Student Health Service, Housing and Food Service, Placement, Student Employment, and Coordination of Student Activities. The administration of these services is centered in the Office of the Dean of Students. ADMISSIONS Pre-college counseling concerning admissions requirements, college entrance examinations, financial aids, and career planning is available from qualified personnel in the Office of Admissions. Counseling can be obtained either on campus or in schools and homes as the counselors travel throughout the Upper Midwest. In addition to high school seniors, sophomores and juniors are encouraged to use these services and also to visit the campus if at all possible. STUDENT PERSONNEL SERVICES COUNSELING Counseling services are maintained in an effort to assist each student to obtain the maximum benefits from the learning experiences offered a t Augsburg College. Matters such as uncertainty over vocational choice or educational planning, religious uncertainty, health or financial problems, personal and social adjustment and personal deficiencies can interfere with the learning process and are dealt with in counseling sessions. It is hoped that through counseling, students will develop a more realistic understanding of themselves and the surrounding world, and keener awareness of resources available to them as they meet the problems of daily life. At Augsburg the counseling process is carried on a t several levels. All faculty members participate in the counseling program, and each new student is assigned to a faculty counselor who works with him until he chooses a major field of study. At that time, the major adviser becomes his counselor. In addition, there are staff members who have specialized training in counseling and techniques for dealing with problems of adjustment. The personnel deans serve as special counselors. The counseling program is coordinated through the Director of Psychological Services in the Office of the Dean of Students in accordance with the plans and policies established by the Student Personnel Committee. RECORDS Individual student records are kept in the Records Office under the supervision of the Registrar. These records include admission data, academic achievement, student participation and achievement in non-academic activities, test scores, reports of counseling, and other information. The Student Personnel Office maintains a file of student government officers, of clubs and societies, including the constitutions, activities, schedules, and membership rosters. THE STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE The Student Health Service provides dispensary service with two registered nurses on duty. The college physician has daily office hours for consultation and for emergency treatment. Infirmary roloms are provided. The Health Service is located in Fairview Hospital, adjacent to the campus. Physical examinations are given to all seniors. Before registering, each entering student is required to have on file the report of a physical examination given by his family physician. Corrective treatment is prescribed where needed. Students who have personal problems are encouraged to seek help through counseling conferences. If a serious problem develops which demands professional skill, the student is referred to the offices of the personnel deans. Referrals may be made to the College Chaplain, or the College Psychologist. FRESHMAN ORIENTATION Freshmen and other new students participate in Freshman Days before the beginnkg of classes each year. The students take tests, attend classes, 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 new students are given a battery of tests during Freshman Days. Scholastic Aptitude Test scores and special placement test scores are used by counselors to help students plan their initial programs. Personality inventories and the vocational interest profiles help the students to know more about themselves, in order to make a good choice of subjects and occupational goals. A special course in improvement of reading is offered for interested students. Freshmen who expect difficulty with the increased quantity and complexity of the reading material encountered in college are especially urged to enroll in this course. IJ HOUSING AND FOOD SERVICE In its residence program, the college aims to develop in the students Christian character, self-control, and thoughtful consideration of others. At the same time, the college realizes that students' happiness, comfort, and emotional adjustment in the residence halls are direct influences on their general efficiency in the classroom. In an effort to provide these opportunities for development, student residence councils assume the responsibilities for the administration of dormitory life policies in consultation with the head residents and personnel deans. Upper-class students serve as counselors in the residences and attempt to help residents with problems of personal adjustment. The head residents and personnel deans serve as resource people for these counselors and handle cases referred to them. All students not living at home are required to live in collegeoperated housing. Students desiring to reside in the city with relatives must first secure approval for such an arrangement from the Student Personnel Office. All students living in residences take their meals in the Commons. The college also provides a number of houses for men and women with a cooperative houseplan option. Residence halls are open to students a day before regular schedules become effective, and they 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, blankets, and bedspreads. Laundry facilities are available in each residence. Bed linens and towels may be rented with laundering service a t a reasonable cost. This service is required of all students in residence halls. An optional linen service is available to students living in houses. Students engage a room a t the beginning of the fall term for the entire school year. A room deposit is required of upper-class students to hold a room. This fee is payable a t the Treasurer's Office by May 15. Students who have not paid the room deposit by this date are automatically removed from the housing roster. No refunds are made after August 1. All men living in Memorial Hall, Mortensen-Sivertsen Hall and cottage housing, are required to pay a $20 key and breakage fee a t the beginning of each school year. At the end of the year the fee is refunded if the condition of the room and furniture is satisfactory and the key is returned. GRADUATE PLACEMENT The Placement Bureau assists seniors and alumni in securing positions. Continuous contact is maintained with business, governmental, welfare, and educational institutions a t the local, state, and national levels. The services of the Placement Bureau are free t o graduating seniors. Alumni seeking the services of the Placement Bureau will be charged a re-registration fee of $5. There is no placement fee. CO-ORDINATION OF STUDENT ACTIVITIES The Director 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 advisers to student organizations are approved by the Director. The program of student activities is a primary responsibility of the Program Commission and the Student Organization Commission in addition to other Boards and Commissions under the Augsburg Student Society. A weekly bulletin of events is prepared for the Echo by the Student Personnel Office. The college Master Calendar is kept in the Office of Student Activities.

Course withdrawn during first four weeks; or student withdrew from college. S (satisfactory), P (pass), N (no credit) indicate level of achievement; they do not affect grade point average. CONDITIONS AND INCOMPLETES A condition or an incomplete received at the end of a term must be removed within the first five weeks of classes of the following term. If conditions and incompletes are not removed within five weeks of the following term, the condition automatically becomes a failure and the incomplete becomes the grade submitted by the teacher along with the Incomplete. The final grade after the con,dition examination is taken may not be higher than D. A fee of $5 is charged for an examination making up an incomplete or a condition received a t the end of a term. REPEATING COURSES A course which has been failed or in which a D has been earned may be repeated for credit. Only the credits and grade earned the second time are counted toward graduation. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit; they may, however, be audited. - REGISTRATION Students who have been accepted for admission should register on the days designated in the Calendar for this purpose. Those who register late are charged a late registration fee of $1 per day after classes begin. The last date on which a student may register for or enter a course is one week after the beginning of classes. Registration for audit requires the same procedure as registration for credit. Audit registration is considered equal to one-half the credit registration in determining load and fees. Registration means that the student accepts all the rules and regulations established by the school. 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 whichthere is not sufficient registration. The normal registration is 15 credit hours. A credit hour is nonnally defined as one recitation period a week throughout a term. The privilege of registering for more than 17 credit hours is granted to students who have gained an average record of B, or three grade points per credit, in the preceding term. No student is permitted to carry work for more than 19 credits per term. Students working part-time are urged to arrange the amount omf their registration accordingly. CHANGE OF REGISTRATION AND CANCELLATION A student who desires to make a change in his registration should obtain a form from the Registrar's Office. The approval of the teachers concerned, the student's adviser, and the Registrar are needed. A fee of $2 is charged for each change of registration after the first three days of classes. No course may be added after the first week of classes. A course which is cancelled during the first four weeks of classes is followed by W. After the first four weeks and before the last three weeks of the term, a course which is cancelled is given a grade of WP if the student is passing and WF if he is failing the course. No course may be cancelled during the last three weeks of the term. A student who finds it necessary to leave school before the end of a term must cancel his registration at the Registrar's Office in order to remain in good standing. CLASSIFICATION IJ In order to be classified in one of the regular college classes, a student must be carrying a minimum of 12 hours of work in which college credit is given. Classification is based on the attainment of the following number of credit hours with a t least twice that number of grade points: Credits Grade Points 36 72 Sophomore 84 168 Junior 130 260 Senior Students are classified by this regulation a t the time of their registration each school year. Students registered for less than 12 credits are classified as special students. PROBATION AND DISMISSAL A student is placed on scholastic probation a t the end of any term in which his achievement is unsatisfactory. The following guidelines are used in placing a student on probation with the overall average entering in as an additional factor. First-year students with a grade point average o,f 1.5 or below Second-year students with a grade point average of 1.6 or below Third-year students with a grade point average of 1.8 or below Fourth-year students with a grade point average of 1.8 or below All students with 7 or more credits of F. In order to be removed from probation, a student must achieve a grade point average of 2.1 or better for at least one term. A student will usually be allowed to continue on probation for two terms. If his academic achievement has continued to be unsatisfactory, he will be dropped for low scholarship. CLASS ATTENDANCE Regular class attendance is required of all students in lo'wer division courses. Attendance in upper division courses is voluntary for juniors and seniors unless required by the teacher of the class. In classes for which attendance is required, a record of attendance is kept and periodic reports on absences are submitted to the Registrar. Students wh'o find it necessary to be absent because of illness or for other reasons should report the reasons for the absence to their teachers. For prolonged absence of over one week due to illness, the student may obtain an excuse signed by the Health Service if this is requested by the teacher. Students with an excessive number of absences not excused by the teacher may be dropped from the course with a grade of F. 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 periods absent, are issued by the Dean to all instructors involved, but the student is still responsible for any work missed. 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 each term. In the middle of the fall term, reports of the grades attained by freshmen are made to the Registrar who forwards them to the counselors, parents, and students. Final reports are sent at the end of each term to the parents and students. Written examinations are regularly scheduled a t the close of each term. No student or class may arrange to take a final examination in any course before the examination week. Absence from a final examination will result in a grade of failure unless the student presents a reasonable excuse immediately to the teacher concerned. 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 charged a fee of $5 for such an examination. Before the student takes the examination, he must obtain a statement from the Registrar's office and bring it to the teacher concerned. COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATIONS Comprehensive examinations may be permitted in courses in which the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing believes 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 ($10 for students not currently enrolled) is charged for each credit hour and must be paid in advance. Examination questions and the answers will be filed in the Registrar's Office. UNIVERSITY COURSES By arrangement with the University of Minnesota, students may register for courses at the University. But such registrations will not be allowed unless the student has a C average in his courses at Augsburg. Also, the combined number of credits in any term must not exceed 17. The credits thus gained a t the University may be transferred to Augsburg College and counted towards graduation. COURSES OF STUDY Descriptions of the courses offered in 1968-70 are given on the following pages. Unforeseen circumstances may necessitate making changes. Courses with inadequate registration may be cancelled. Students should consult the schedule o,f classes t o determine definitely the current course offerings. NUlMBERING OF COURSES Courses numbered below 50 are lower division courses; those numbered 50 and above are classified as upper division. In general, courses numbered 1-19 are primarily for freshmen; 20-49 for sophomores; 50-74 for juniors; and 75-99 for seniors. SYMBOLS # Course may be taken with consent of the instructor irrespective of prerequisites. CREDITS Credits shown are in terms of quarter credits. Unless otherwise stated a four-credit course meets four times a week and a fivecredit course five times a week. A term or quarter is 11 weeks in length, and the normal load for a student is 15 credit hours per term.

[Prereq. : second course in the studio area and#.] DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY MR. SULERUD, chairman, MR. HERFORTH, MR. MICKELBERG, MR. THORPE, MR. URDAHL It is intended that the offerings of the Department of Eiology should be extensive enough to meet the needs and interests of a tvide variety of students. For the nan-science major the aim is to pmvidc a reliable basic understanding nf biological science and, more generally, of the character of scieniifie Colmvlcclgc. The more ad\-anced courses are designed to provide a good preparation for students who elect to pursue the study of biological science for a career in the profession of biology or in a related area such as the medical profession. All students who intend to complete a major or minor in biology should plan their program carefully with specific reference to their intended career. It is important that a prospective binlogy major consult with the biology staff concerning this planning as soon es possible. In general, a broad background in the supportihg sciences and in mathematics is essential. Students who plan to enter graduate or medical school or to teach secondary school upon graduation must be certain to meet the appropriate preparatory requirements. Recommended fouryear programs for such students are given under Curriculums in the catalog as are the programs for pre-dental, pre-nursing and medical technology students. Major: Two programs leading to a biology major are available. Option I i s recommended, with few exceptions, for students who intend to obtain an advanced degree in biology, medicine or related fields.

QUANBECK The education curriculum has been designed primarily for those preparing to do public school teaching, although any student who is preparing to work with youth is encouraged to study in the area. The work in this department will qualify the graduate for teaching on the elementary or the junior and senior high school level. as well a s for further study in the field of education. The program is accredited by the State of Minnesota, the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. Admission to the education curriculum requires an application to be approved by the Committee on Teacher Education. Application must be made during the second semester of the sophomore year. Approval is granted on the basis of a satisfactory health report, favorable personality characteristics and a satisfactory scholastic achievement. For elementary teaching candidates, this means essentially a 2.5 grade-point average in work completed in the minor and a 2.0 over-all; for secondary teaching candidates a 2.5 in work completed in the major and a 2.0 over-all. Both are expected to maintain a 2.5 average in their major and 2.0 over-all average.

The work may be done either during the senior year or after graduation. It carries no college credit. SPAN Augsbrrrg participates in the SPAN (Student Project for AmiQ among Nations) program. Tnis 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. -4ppplications are made in the spring of the sophomore year. JUNIOR YEAR ABROAD [7 Arrangements have been made under which Augsburg College students may spend their sophomore or junior year in study a t a number of European educational institutions. These institutions are: The University of Oslo, Norway; Schiller College and The Goethe Institute in Germany; and The Institute for American Universities a t Aix-en-Provence in France. Study a t other institutions may be possible through special arrangements. Applications for such foreign study must be approved by the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing. In addition, the student's program of study while in Europe must be approved by his faculty adviser prior to making application to the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing. A year of foreign study is recommended only for students with good scholastic records whose programs of study can be followed satisfactorily a t the institutions chosen. Credit earned through foreign study can usually be applied to the student's graduation requirements as electives or, occasionally, as elements of his major sequence. Such credit ordinarily does not satisfy the general education requirements with some exceptions such as the study of a foreign language. HONORS PROGRAM For superior freshman sudents, some special accelerated sections are available in such subjects as English and History. For superior students of all classes, special colloquia are offered each term. Many departments of the college offer a program through which the student can earn honors in his major field. Students of high ability who are interested in pursuing an honors curriculum are invited to write to the Director of the Honors Program for infomation regarding the Honors Programs which may be open to them. Honors students are selected on the basis of previous academic achievement and test results. NORTH-SOUTH STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM In order to promote better understanding in the area of race relations and to encourage better cultural exchange between the students of Augsburg College and colleges in the South, Augsburg has entered into an agreement with various southern colleges whereby an interchange of students may take place. This exchange may take place during either the second or third, term, or both, depending upon the schedules of the cooperating colleges. In order to qualify for the exchange program, the Augsburg student must secure the approval of his/her parents (if he/she is a minor), his/her major adviser, and various college officials. A further general requirement is approval by the student exchange board which will, among other things, require a grade point average of a t least 2.50. Further details and application forms may be secured from the office of the Dean or the President of the Student Society. THE PASS/NO CREDIT GRADING SYSTEM Effective with the 196748 academic year, a Pass/No Credit grading system is available to juniors and seniors only, applicable to a maximum of one course per term. The provisions of the system are as follows: 1. Juniors and Seniors only may choose to be graded on the 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. basis of Pass/No Credit instead of a regular grade for a maximum of one course in any one term. The Pass/No Credit option may not be applied to courses in the student's major field. Each department of the college shall determine which, if any, of the courses it offers may not be taken by any student on a Pass/No Credit basis. Students will be informed by the Registrar's Office a t each registration day of the courses which may not be taken under the system. Although credits earned under the system will be counted toward fulfilling the requirements for graduation, Pass/No Credit grades will not be used in computing the student's Grade Point Average. The student must exercise the option of taking a course under the Pass/No Credit grading system at the time of his registration for the course, and may not change after the end of the first week of the term. Under the Pass/No Credit grading system, the grade of 'S' shall be assigned to the student earning the equivalent of a grade from 'A' to 'C'; the grade of 'N' to the student earning the equivalent of a grade from 'D' to 'F'. AUGSBURG SUMMER SCHOOL Students may earn up to ten credits of college work in a sixweek summer session from June 24 through August 2, 1968. For 1969, tentative plans call for a similar six-week term beginning June 9, followed by a short term of three weeks set for July 21 through August 8, during which additional five credits may be earned. Most courses will meet mornings, Monday through Friday. Others will meet for longer periods two evenings a week, in order to accommodate part-time students employed during the day. Eligible to attend Augsburg summer school are present students and graduates of Augsburg and other accredited colleges and universities, as well as recent high school graduates whose class standing and scores in college aptitude examinations indicate a high probability of success in college work. Courses to be offered during the summer sessions will be determined, in part, by demand. Most will not require prerequisites. In addition to formal classes, provisions are being made for independent study in several areas, and for individual instruction in voice and instrumental music. For 1968, summer tuition for 8-10 credits is $220.00, plus a registration fee of $5.00. The latter fee will, however, be waived for those completing registration not later than June 14. Private lessons will be charged separately. A single board and room charge for the 1968 summer session will be $100.00, and will provide morning and noon meals exclusive of weekends, and a room from the evening of June 23 through the morning of August 3. For specific information, interested persons are asked to write: Director of Summer School Augsburg College Minneapolis, Minnesota 55404 CURRICULU'MS The following courses of study are outlined as guides for the student and his adviser in planning a program for a selected major, or a particular vocational objective.

LAW College preparation for law school is flexible, and does not require a specific course of study or a particular major. Students considering law as a profession are urged to study the requirements and suggested curricula for the following majors: American Studies, pages 50 and 108. English, pages 68 and 114. History, pages 34 and 116. Political Science, pages 92 and 121. While any of the above majors is appropriate as a pre-law curriculum, other majors are also highly acceptable. For most law schools a broad background in the liberal arts constitutes a better preparation than specialization and expertise in narrower fields. While not all law schools require a baccalaureate degree as a condition for admission, it is normally to the advantage of the student to have completed his undergraduate degree program. Nearly all law schools in the United States require applicants to take a standardized Law School Admission Test, administered several times each year a t prescribed times. Students interested in law as a possible vocation should contact the pre-law adivsor, chairman of the Department of Political Science. MATHEMATICS MAJOR The following course of study is designed for students who have a strong background in mathematics from high school. Students who lack this background may need to complete Mathematics 13, 14 before registering for Mathematical Analysis.

Mission Statement Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission: Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by its urban and global settings. Augsburg Today 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, Minnesota in 1872. A Rochester, Minnesota campus was added in 2002. A short history of Augsburg College can be found at www.augsburg.edu/about/history. Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of its founders who believed: • • • Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically and broadly about the world and the work we do in it. An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and centers of faith. The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment. 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.

To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages students to make use of all College facilities, whether a student in Minneapolis or Rochester, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and lecture/speaker events. Graduate 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 and service 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. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories. Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisors and participate regularly in campus activities. 5 Locations Minneapolis Campus Augsburg College is located in the heart of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.

Review the full policy regarding past due balances online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/disclosure/ Payment Options Augsburg College offers payment plan options for all students. Information about payment plans is available online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/policies/disclosure/. 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. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of grants and loans. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational expenses, retirement needs, and special considerations. 16 Types of Aid A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a specific scholarship or grant (except as noted). Institutional Grants/Discounts Augsburg offers grants/discounts for a variety of different students. Specific information about the different grants and scholarships, along with eligibility requirements, can be found online at http://www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts/ Loan Assistance Graduate students must be enrolled at least half-time in order to receive federal loans. Three semester credits per term is considered half-time. Six semester credits per term is considered full-time. • Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Student Loan o • 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). Federal Graduate Loan Program (PLUS) o Graduate PLUS is a loan program to help graduate students meet college costs. Students may borrow up to the cost of attendance (minus all other student financial aid). Further information about loan programs can be found online at http://www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/. Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy Federal regulations require that all higher education institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether students [1] receiving financial aid [2] are making satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of a degree. The purpose of this policy is to make sure that students who receive financial aid are using this money wisely. It is meant to curtail the use of financial aid by students who fail to successfully complete their course work. Failure to meet the following standards makes a student ineligible for all institutional, federal, and state financial aid. Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress 1) Minimum GPA requirements Undergraduate Students Students must maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA based on the entire academic record. Graduate Students Students must maintain a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA based on the entire academic record. 2) Minimum Credits Completed Undergraduate Students Students must earn a cumulative 67% of the credits attempted based on the entire academic record. A completed credit has a grade of 4.0 – 0.5 or P. Credits earned and completed will include accepted cumulative transfer credits as defined by the Registrar’s Office. Unsatisfactory grades “W (Withdrawn),” “I (Incomplete),” “F (Zero),” and “N (Not Passing)” are counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. Repeat Courses and remedial courses are not counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. Graduate Students Students must earn a cumulative 67% of the credits attempted based on the entire academic record. A completed credit has a grade of 4.0 – 2.5 or P. Credits earned and completed will include accepted cumulative transfer credits as defined by the Registrar’s Office. Unsatisfactory grades “W (withdrawn),” “I (Incomplete),” “F (Zero),” and “N (Not Passing)” are counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. Repeat Courses and remedial courses are not counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. 17 3) Maximum Time Frame Undergraduate Students To demonstrate academic progress, undergraduate students must complete their degree objective within 150% of the length of the program. In the CORE Curriculum, a student needs a minimum of 32 credits to graduate with a bachelor’s degree. For those under the CORE Curriculum, they may not exceed attempting 49 credits. For students under the Perspectives and Skills Curriculum, a student cannot exceed attempting 52 credits. A student who reaches the 150% maximum time frame to complete their degree due to a change in major will need to notify the Student Financial Services Office in order to continue to receive financial aid. Graduate Students To demonstrate academic progress, graduate students must complete their degree objective within 150% of the length of the program. Requirements to Meet Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards 1) Cumulative GPA Undergraduate Students Students who are not meeting the GPA SAP standard will need to follow the Academic Probation standards set forth by Augsburg College Registrar’s Office. The student must maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA or higher. Graduate Students Students who are not meeting the GPA SAP standard must maintain a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA or higher. 2) Minimum Credits Attempted Undergraduate and Graduate students earning less than 67% credits attempted must be enrolled at least half-time, must earn all attempted credits, cannot withdraw from any of the courses, and must achieve a minimum grade of 2.0 or better in each course. 3) Maximum Time Frame Undergraduate and Graduate students must complete and attain their degree within the 150% of the length of the program. Monitoring and Evaluating Progress In order to ensure SAP standards are being met, the office of Student Financial Services will evaluate and monitor the students’ academic achievement at the end of each term. After the student’s record is evaluated and the Student Financial Services Office determined the student to be unsatisfactory, the student will be placed on Financial Aid Warning or Financial Aid Probation. Students will be notified through their Augsburg email if they fail to meet SAP standards. Financial Aid Warning A student who fails to meet SAP standards will be placed on Financial Aid Warning for the following term of enrollment. Students placed on Financial Aid Warning will still be eligible to receive financial aid. A student on Financial Aid Warning must work with the designated Financial Aid Counselor to submit an academic plan. Financial Aid Warning will conclude when the student meets SAP standards, or guidelines set forth in the academic plan. Students currently on Financial Aid Warning who do not meet the standards at the end of the term will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. Students can continue to be placed on Financial Aid Warning for periods longer than one term on a case by case basis and/or as determined by the Student Financial Services Office. Financial Aid Probation A student who fails to meet either the minimum GPA requirement or minimum credits attempted while on Financial Aid Warning will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. A student on Financial Aid Probation is ineligible to receive any form of financial aid. A student on Financial Aid Probation may submit an appeal to reinstate their financial aid, and if the 18 appeal is approved, the student must work with the designated Financial Aid Counselor to submit an academic plan. Financial Aid Probation will conclude when the student meets SAP standards, or guidelines set forth in the academic plan. Students can continue to be placed on Financial Aid Probation for periods longer than one term on a case by case basis and/or determined by the Student Financial Services Office. Financial Aid will be suspended when a student placed on Financial Aid Probation does not meet SAP standards. Because grades may not be available before the beginning of the next scheduled term, it is possible that financial aid may be disbursed to a student before the review can be conducted. In the event that a student is found to be ineligible for the financial aid that has been disbursed due to a failure to meet one of the Standards, the aid that was disbursed will be canceled, and returned to the appropriate program(s). Right to Appeal Students who have had their financial aid suspended may submit the SAP Appeal Form to the Student Financial Services Office. The appeal must be submitted within 7 days of notification of unsatisfactory status or by the due date given on the appeal letter. The SAP Appeal Form must be completely filled out, along with any additional documents required by the Committee. The appeal should state reasons why the student failed to meet SAP standards, and what changed for the student that will allow the student to demonstrate progress towards meeting SAP standards. The appeal will be decided by the SAP Committee. All decisions made by the Committee are final. [1] Include all degree seeking students in both the Undergraduate Day and Augsburg for Adults, and all Graduate programs. [2] Financial Aid is defined as: Augsburg Institutional Aid, Federal Title IV funding, and Minnesota State Financial Aid programs. Financial Policies 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 account charges 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. Tuition Refund Policy Students are eligible for a 100% tuition refund for any courses they drop without notation through the date labeled “Last day to drop without a ‘W’ grade & 100% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. After this date, students are no longer eligible for any refund of tuition unless they withdraw from all of their courses. This policy is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. Students withdrawing from all of a term’s courses may receive a 50% tuition refund when they withdraw by the date labeled “Last day to withdraw with 50% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. Students are responsible for cancelling courses through the Registrar’s Office (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. Medical Refund If a student is forced to withdraw from one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, a request for a medical refund should be made through the Financial Petition Committee. Petition forms are available through the Registrar’s Office website. An extra medical refund may be granted by the committee upon submission of documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances. 19 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 Office 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 tuition charges for the term will be replaced with an administrative cancellation fee of $300. Financial Aid Policy Financial aid such as federal, state, and institutional grants and scholarships are awarded based upon the total number of registered credits on the “Last day to add with faculty signature – Full Semester class” as noted on the Academic Calendar. Students must register for internships, Time 2 classes, and ACTC classes before the “Last day to add with faculty signature-Full Semester class”. Financial aid will not be adjusted for classes added after this date. Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester by actively attending and participating in classes throughout the semester. Financial aid is recalculated when students do any of the following: drop classes without a “w” grade, fail to begin classes, cease to attend classes, fail all classes, or fully withdraw from all classes. Financial Aid-Return of Aid Policy Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester. A student can earn their aid by attending classes, or in the event of hybrid/online courses, be an active participant in the course. Federal/State Aid Adjustments Augsburg is required to return unearned federal/state aid for students who fully withdraw from their courses. Student are eligible to keep more aid the longer they attend their courses. After 60% of the term has passed, students are eligible to keep all of their federal/state aid. See the dates below. If you are planning to completely withdraw from your courses, please see a Student Financial Services counselor to determine what aid may need to be returned. Institutional Aid Adjustments Augsburg will return institutional aid for students who partially withdrawal or fully withdraw from courses if the student received. If students withdraw from their courses they will receive a 50% tuition refund and 50% of their institutional aid will be removed. If a student withdraws after the last day to receive a tuition refund, there will be no adjustment to their institutional aid. Credit Refund Policy Augsburg students may be eligible to receive a credit refund if their financial aid exceeds tuition and fee charges for a term. Credit Refunds are issued within two weeks after the last day to drop courses without recorded notation. Financial Aid needs to be finalized (You can verify your financial aid status online through Track Your Financial Aid and applied to a student’s account (Check your Transaction History online to verify all of your financial aid has been applied to your account and nothing is left pending) before the Credit Refund can be issued. Changes in enrollment status, housing status, and program status may affect financial aid eligibility and credit refunds. Students who are enrolled less than half-time (less than 6.0 credits for undergraduates, less than 3.0 credit for graduates) may not be eligible for financial aid; however, students may apply for private alternative loans. Registration changes made from the first week of the term through midterm may require a return of financial aid funds. Students who drop courses may receive a tuition refund, but some forms of financial aid may have to be adjusted before a refund will be available. Financial aid return of funds may take up to 30-45 days to be processed. 20 Bookstore Policy Students who are registered for the upcoming term will be allowed to charge up to $600 to their student account. Students DO NOT need to request a bookstore account this year. Please plan ahead and purchase books and supplies before the scheduled cut off dates; be planful for courses that start midterm as you will be unable to charge anything to your student account after the cut-off date. Student’s accounts will be billed for only what was spent on their bookstore account before credit refunds are issued. If your bookstore charges creates a balance on your account you need to make payments in accordance with your statement. Bookstore purchases charged to a student’s account are intended for students who have excess financial aid funds to cover their tuition, fees, AND their books or supplies. Please contact Student Financial Services before you purchase books if you need to discuss payment options. Due to the financial aid cycle, you can only charge expenses to your bookstore account during specific times. Third Party: If you are expecting a third party to cover the cost of your books, you will need to turn in an itemized receipt of your purchases to the Student Financial Service’s office along with your invoice request. Additional Funds: If the cost of your textbooks and supplies are above $600 in one term, you have enough financial aid to cover the additional costs, and you would like to charge the additional amount to your student account please send the following information to Student Financial Services (studentfinances@augsburg.edu). All requests need to be in writing. Subject: Request for additional funds Full Name: Student ID number: Additional request: Students will receive an e-mail when the additional request has been processed. Accounts are opened as quickly as possible, but it could take up to two business days for activation. Consumer Information LOSS OF FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY DUE TO A DRUG OFFENSE A student, who is convicted of a state or federal offense involving the possession or sale of an illegal drug that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid, is not eligible for Title IV funds. [An illegal drug is a controlled substance as defined by the Controlled Substance Act and does not include alcohol and tobacco. A borrower’s eligibility is based on the student’s self-certification on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Convictions that are reversed, set aside or removed from the student’s record, or a determination arising from a juvenile court proceeding do not affect eligibility and do not need to be reported by the student. A student who is convicted of a drug-related offense that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid loses Title IV eligibility as follows: For the possession of illegal drugs: First offense: one year from the date of conviction. Second offense: two years from the date of the second conviction. Third offense: indefinitely from the date of the third conviction. For the sale of illegal drugs: First offense: two years from the date of conviction. Second offense: indefinitely from the date of the second conviction. 21 A school must provide a student who loses Title IV eligibility due to a drug-related conviction with a timely, separate, clear, and conspicuous written notice. The notice must advise the student of his or her loss of Title IV eligibility and the ways in which the student may regain that eligibility. Regaining Eligibility after a Drug Conviction A student may regain eligibility at any time by completing an approved drug rehabilitation program and by informing the school that he or she has done so. A student regains Title IV eligibility on the date he or she successfully completes the program. A drug rehabilitation program is considered approved for these purposes if it includes at least two unannounced drug tests and meets one of the following criteria: • • • • The program received or is qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly under a federal, state, or local government program. The program is administered or recognized by a federal, state, or local government agency or court. The program received or is qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a federally or state licensed insurance company. The program administered or recognized by a federally or state-licensed hospital, health clinic, or medical doctor. Policies may change throughout an academic year if necessary to comply with federal, state, or institutional changes or regulations. 22 Student Resources/Academic and Support Services Library and Information Technology Services The James G. Lindell Family Library opened in 1997. The four-level, 73,000-square-foot facility houses the library and information technology functions of the College as well as the Gage Center for Student Success. In addition to its large collection of print volumes, e-books, and e-journals, Lindell Library includes special collections and archives, a curriculum library, a computer lab and student computing help desk, a library instruction classroom, and facilities for media viewing and listening. Skyways link the library to Oren Gateway Center and Sverdrup Hall. Learning Commons Within Lindell Library, a Learning Commons provides assistance in research and the use of technology as well as spaces for collaborative learning. In the Learning Commons multimedia lab, students can create digital audio and visual projects. Library Resources Students can search a wide variety of local, regional, national, and international databases. They have access to 27,000 e-journals, 18,000 e-books, and 190,000 print volumes within Lindell Library and, through a daily courier service, access to the library holdings of six other private liberal arts colleges in the Twin Cities. In addition, Lindell Library has a large collection of media resources. A service-oriented staff provides students and faculty with research assistance and instruction in the use of information resources. Arrangements are made for access by students with physical limitation and special needs. Information Technology Resources Augsburg College has built a reputation as a leader in its commitment to provide students with relevant and timely access to information technology and training. Visit the Student Technology website, inside.augsburg.edu/techdesk, for more on Information Technology at Augsburg. Computing Students have access to more than 250 on-campus computers. Both PC and Macintosh desktop computers are available in the Lindell Library Learning Commons and computer lab, and in the 24-hour Urness computer lab. The College has five computer classrooms, 41 technology-enhanced classrooms and one video conferencing-enabled classroom. The circulation desk in Lindell Library has 40 wireless laptops available for use in the library. Several computer clusters are available for more specific student use within academic departments. A high-speed fiber optic campus network provides access to AugNet online services, printing, and to the internet. Network-ready student machines can connect to the campus network from residence hall rooms or any building on campus using WiFi. All of the AugNet online services are available securely on- and off-campus. Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) The Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and academic support for students with documented learning, attention, psychiatric, and other cognitive disabilities, and for students with physical disabilities which may include TBI, chronic illness, mobility impairments, and vision, hearing or speech impairments, and temporary disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain 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, student technology assistance, academic advising, counseling, financial aid) Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Accommodations Laboratory 23 • • Assistance with academic, organizational, and time management skills Campus living accommodations The Disability Specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisors, and other members of the College faculty, staff, or administration to support each student as they work toward success. Taking advantage of these opportunities and services, however, remains the student’s responsibility. Any Augsburg student who wants to establish eligibility for accommodations and services should schedule a meeting with a Specialist to discuss appropriate documentation. CLASS also provides informal screenings for students who suspect they may have a learning-related disability. These screenings are meant only to help students determine whether they should seek a thorough evaluation by a qualified professional. Academic accommodations are intended to ensure access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities and may not fundamentally alter the basic nature or essential curricular components of an institution’s courses or programs. CLASS services are made possible in part through endowment support provided by the Gage family and the Groves Foundation. 24 Academic Programs and Policies Academic Calendars All of our graduate programs meet on a semester calendar. Academic Calendars can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change without notice. Academic Policies The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges. Academic Honesty A college is a community of learners whose relationship relies on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity and credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg College community. Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a College requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student pledging to abide by the College’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. (See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide) Evaluation and Grading Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0 achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for details of field study and special projects. Students must achieve a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Grading option cannot be changed from traditional (0.0 - 4.0) to Pass/No Credit. Explanation of grades for Graduate Studies: Grade 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0–0.0 FN P N V W I X Explanation Achieves highest standards of excellence Achieves above acceptable standards Meets acceptable standards Meets minimum standards Unacceptable performance Unacceptable performance Represents work at 3.0 or higher (not counted in grade point average) No credit (not counted in grade point average) Audit Withdrawn Incomplete In progress, extended beyond term of registration Auditing Courses Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V) on a space-available basis. Graduate students will be charged an audit fee of $1,000. The written permission of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript with a V grade. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Audited courses do not count towards graduation. Withdrawal Grade A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a W grade and before the last day to withdraw. 25 Incomplete (I) Grades An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Registrar’s Office that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Extension (X) Grades Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned. Repeated Courses A course in which a grade of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken each term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. Courses completed at Augsburg College must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat policy. Grade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted, i.e., courses with 0.0 to 4.0 grade assigned. Attendance Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements to address the needs of particular courses, individual students, or various learning styles. Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible, students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible. Non-Attendance/Non-Participation Attendance/participation in class is important for academic success and financial aid. Therefore, students are dropped for non-attendance/non-participation after the 10th business day of the term if reported by the instructor. Students are ultimately responsible for dropping classes if they no longer plan to attend/participate. Students who have been dropped and wish to re-enroll must submit and Academic/Financial Petition. Graduate Continuation Policy Students registering for the final project course must complete the Final Project Registration/Graduate Continuation Contract by the last day to add with faculty signature for a Full Semester class as noted on the Academic Calendar. Upon 26 receipt of the contract, the Registrar’s Office will enroll the student in the Continuation Program for 13 semesters. Entry into the Continuation Program maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, including library and AugNet Services. Students can request an extension of up to 3 semesters beyond the initial 13 semesters to the program director by completing the Graduate Continuation Extension Contract. Approval of the extension is at the discretion of the program director. If a grade is not received and an extension has not been granted by the grading deadline of the 13th semester, the grade will change from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project after receiving a failing grade must meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional coursework and will need to pay tuition and fees for any additional courses. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would replace the previous N grade. Students may withdraw from the College, and thus from the Continuation Program and the final project course, at any point during the continuation period and receive a W notation on the transcript for the final project course. Following a withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional coursework and will need to pay full tuition and fees for any additional courses. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would replace the previous W grade. Credit and Contact Hours Augsburg’s credit hour policy follows the federal guidelines in defining a semester credit hour as one fifty-minute period of instruction and 100 minutes of out-of-class work per week for fifteen weeks, or the equivalent amount of student work completed over a different time frame or via a different delivery method. All Augsburg programs follow the semester calendar with semester lengths from 14-16 weeks. Augsburg offers a summer semester which follows the same format as both fall and spring semester. Students must take at least 3 credits to be considered half-time, and 6 or more credits to be considered full-time. Students may take up to 22 credits. Degree Requirements To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following: • • • Successful completion of all required courses A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed continuation agreement with Augsburg College. Probation and Dismissal Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistant must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out with the program director. Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the College. Dismissal Appeals Process A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the College’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate negatively affected the outcome. The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard copy of the statement of appeal to the Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate Studies (AVP-Graduate Studies); email is not acceptable. The statement must identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The 27 statement of appeal will be the only basis of the student’s appeal. The AVP-Graduate Studies must receive the student’s statement of appeal within 14 calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the statement of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within 15 business days of the date that the statement was received by the AVP-Graduate Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVPGraduate Studies. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the program’s response to the student. The AVP-Graduate Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the AVP-Graduate Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty members (one from programs not named in the appeal: Business, Creative Writing, Education, Leadership, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, Social Work). The Program Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s statement of response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures and ask questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each bring a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg College faculty member, staff member, or student). The role of the third party representative is to provide support to the student or the program representative, not to serve as an advocate during the meeting. Dropping or Withdrawing Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or with a Registration Form. To see the drop and withdrawal deadlines, see the Academic Calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Independent Study Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special independent study registration form is required and is available on the Registrar’s Office website. Term Off Students may take a term off for up to two semesters and have continued access to Augsburg e-mail and AugNet Services. If a student is not registered after 10th day of the third semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the student will need to submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll. For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their advisor and obtain the advice of their director. Evaluation of Transfer Credit Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide appropriate documentation regarding previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university institution and graded 3.0/B or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program requirements at Augsburg. The maximum number of semester credits that can be transferred is: • • • • • • Master of Arts in Education (6) Master of Arts in Leadership (6) Master of Arts in Nursing (9) Master of Business Administration (18) Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (12) Master of Music Therapy (Contact program director) 28 • • • Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator) Master of Social Work (22) Doctor of Nursing Practice (Contact program director) Augsburg credits are calculated in semester hours. If you completed courses at other institutions that are quarter hours, they will be converted to semester hours. One quarter hour equates to two-thirds of a semester hour. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. 29 Master of Arts in Education Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and elsewhere. The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program combines our excellent undergraduate licensure program with a master’s level focus on teacher leadership, preparing teachers to serve K-12 students effectively and to nurture healthy change within schools and school systems. Our Philosophy The Education Department program themes include relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. One of these themes is lived out within the MAE program —leadership. As this program theme suggests, we expect our students to leave our programs as responsive, knowledgeable teachers prepared to exercise leadership in the classroom and, eventually, the school and community. Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through a combination of course content, field experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students will leave our programs as collaborative and capable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. Our Faculty Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors, all of whom have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all full-time faculty members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision, volunteer work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do. We value good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers. Our Accessibility We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and personal responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings to allow you to manage these responsibilities while pursuing your goals. You will need to be available during the weekday for the challenge and responsibility of field experiences, but education coursework is accessible through the evening schedules*. As a student in Augsburg’s Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly-qualified teacher— the teacher you can become. *As of Fall 2014 our programs are transitioning from a weekend to an evening schedule. New students will be in the evening program. For the time being, end of program MAE degree completion options will remain on the weekend schedule. Education Department Mission The mission of the Augsburg Education Department is to develop responsive, knowledgeable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. Program Themes Responsive, knowledgeable teachers understand the dynamic interaction among relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. These four interrelated program themes provide lenses through which we filter our practice. Relationships Learning is relational and communal. Responsive teachers create significant relationships with their students, colleagues, and community partners by developing learning communities. These nurturing learning communities provide safe, trustworthy places where challenging and engaging questions can be considered. We model the kinds of learning communities that we expect our graduates to create. We share with our students a learning model that connects 30 content, theory, and practice in an ongoing cycle. Students and their learning are the focus for responsive teachers. Therefore we embrace and foster a progressive and constructivist orientation. Reflection and Inquiry Responsive teachers are reflective practitioners who are students of teaching and learning. Providing numerous frameworks through which to filter our experience encourages intentional and thoughtful inquiry. Through field placements, service learning, generative questions, and classroom experiences, students and faculty develop their perspectives about teaching and learning. Critical reflection allows us to examine content, theory, and practice in ways that transform our practice. We think it is important to understand and learn how to manage the many polarities inherent in the teaching and learning process. Diversity and Equity Responsive teachers embrace diversity and intentionally work to ensure that all learners, especially those who for some reason have been marginalized, learn and develop in powerful ways. We continually reflect on what it means to be a “school in the city.” We recognize that each student is unique, shaped by culture and experience; therefore, differentiating instruction is essential. The perspective of multiple intelligences, learning style theory and teaching for understanding help us differentiate and enable us to provide choice, variety, and flexibility. Responsive teachers believe that all students can learn. They also have a sense of efficacy and believe that they can help all students learn. Leadership Responsive teachers recognize that becoming a learning leader is a developmental process, which begins in pre-service education and continues throughout one’s career. Teachers serve as leaders within the classroom, and with experience, increased confidence, and professional development become leaders within the school, the district, and the community. Teacher leaders view themselves as lifelong learners. They become role models committed to their profession as a vocation rather than a job. Emerging teacher leaders keep student learning at the center of their work while advocating for instructional innovation, constructivist curricular development, and systemic change. Master of Arts in Education Conceptual Framework Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion program. The Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their institutions and communities. The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the combined undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students are required to include coursework focused on leadership and study aspects of leadership as part of their degree program. Third, the final project—be it an action research, a leadership application project, or performance assessment —gives students the opportunity to study an issue of concern and, supported by research, define a means for addressing it. Three Teacher Leadership Aspirations inform our program. They are as follows: Aspiration 1: Teacher leaders value learning for personal and professional growth. Teacher leaders share knowledge effectively with colleagues. We believe that teacher leaders are comfortable with their knowledge and expertise, neither flaunting it nor hiding it, but sharing it with others generously. They work to build bridges with a full range of colleagues, but they don’t let recalcitrant colleagues stop their own development. They see learning as a continuous endeavor and seek it throughout their careers. Aspiration 2: Teachers leaders think big—beyond the classroom to the broader context of education and community. We believe that teacher leaders see systems and the “big picture” and are able to put their classrooms, schools, and communities into a broader context. They understand the link between policies, politics, and education and participate in change efforts at the macro and micro levels. They seek to work with administrators to establish school and district policy that improves life for everyone. If this involves political action, they are prepared to engage in it. Teacher leaders also understand that teaching and learning are dynamic and that change within school systems is an ever-present 31 phenomenon. They are informed decision-makers predisposed to take on the challenge of change when they think it benefits students, teachers, and/or community. Aspiration 3: Teacher leaders possess courage and an orientation to action. We believe that teacher leaders help others not be afraid. They are able to help people to take warranted risks and step outside their comfort zones. They have the courage to bring people together to see the bigger picture and then help people get there. Teacher leaders accept both power and accountability. They understand that responsibility without power diminishes potential for effectiveness. They believe that accountability is a fair trade for the power to take effective action. They operate from a foundation of self-efficacy. Program Overview The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) is designed to provide a teaching license as part of a master’s degree program. K12 initial teaching licenses offered at Augsburg include: • • • • Elementary education (K-6), with or without a middle school content area endorsement in math, communication arts, social studies, or science. Also available is the pre-primary endorsement to the elementary license. Subject matter courses for these endorsements may need to be taken in the weekday schedule or at a community college when unavailable through evening course work. Secondary education (5-12 and K-12) in social studies, communication arts/literature, visual arts, health, mathematics, music, and physical education; and 9-12 in biology, chemistry, and physics. Subject matter courses for these licenses may need to be taken in the weekday schedule or at a community college when unavailable through evening course work. K-12 English as a Second Language K-12 Special Education: Academic Behavior Strategist Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE degree through the following four licensure endorsement options: • • • • K-12 English as a Second Language K-12 Special Education: Academic Behavior Strategist K-12 Reading Pre-Primary (This is an endorsement only to K-6 elementary licenses) All teachers seeking licensure through Augsburg must take and pass all tests required by the state of Minnesota for licensure. Accreditations and Approvals Augsburg College Teacher Education programs are accredited and approved by: • • National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) Minnesota Board of Teaching. (MN BOT) Augsburg College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the listing in the Accreditation, Approvals, and Memberships section of this catalog. Program Structure The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program is made up of a core of education licensure courses at the graduate level coupled with a degree completion option. Courses in the degree completion phase are drawn from the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) and graduate courses in education. Most students in the MAE program pursue a K-12 teaching license as part of their program plan. The MAE degree is also open to students who do not want a teaching license but do want a background in education and leadership. See the MAE program director for details. 32 The MAE degree requires ten or eleven Augsburg graduate level courses, depending on the degree completion option. In addition, several courses at the undergraduate level are required for licensure. Only courses taken at the graduate level apply towards the MAE degree. Credit MAE graduate level courses are offered for 3 semester credits. Each course is comprised of 37.5 instructional hours with the expectation of about 75 hours of independent study outside of class. Schedule The majority of the education courses in the MAE licensure and degree programs are offered through the evening schedule. Courses during the evening meet face to face every other week with online instruction during the alternate weeks. A few education courses and many undergraduate content area courses are offered in a face to face, classroom based format, meeting weekly in the evenings. The MAL and education degree completion courses are offered primarily in a weekend schedule through a mix of face-to-face and online instruction. Summer session courses are offered primarily weekday evenings. Summer courses are offered in a mix of formats from all online to all face-to-face. The following teaching licenses are available entirely through the evening and summer schedule: elementary education, pre-primary endorsement, 5-12 social studies, 5-12 communication arts, K-12 art, K-12 special education, and K-12 English as a second language. For the time being, the K-12 Reading Teacher endorsement and degree completion courses are offered in hybrid form through a weekend framework. Additional licenses in the following areas are available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, summer schedules, and, occasional off-campus courses: biology, chemistry, health, mathematics, music, physical education, and physics. For these licenses, the education and degree completion courses are taken weekday evenings and summer while some, if not all, of the content area courses are taken during the weekday and/or off-campus. The weekday evening schedule is comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. In general, classes are held every other week, face to face with online instruction in the intervening week. The weekday schedule is also comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. Classes offered during the weekday meet one to three times per week. Classes offered jointly between weekday and weekend meet on a weekly basis in the evening. The official academic calendars can be found at http://www.augsburg.edu/registrar/. Curriculum—Teaching Licenses K-6 Elementary Education This program is designed to prepare teachers for grades K-6. Optional endorsements in middle school specialty areas of math, science, social studies, and communication arts and in pre-primary can be pursued along with or separately from the K-6 license. The teaching license and some endorsements are offered at both undergraduate and graduate levels through a mix of undergraduate courses and combined graduate and undergraduate courses. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and have been admitted to the MAE program. All of the following courses must be taken for K-6 elementary licensure. Up to seven courses may be taken at the graduate (500) level and applied toward the MAE degree. EDC 200/522 - Orientation to Education in an Urban Setting* EDC 206/566 - Diversity/Minnesota American Indians EDC 310/533 - Learning and Development in an Educational Setting* EDC 410/544 - Learners with Special Needs* EDC 490/580 - School and Society EED 225/524 - Foundations of Literacy EED 325/525 - K-6 Methods: Literacy* EED 350/550 - K-6 Methods: Math EED 360/560 - K-6 Methods: Science EDC 591 - Topics 33 To complete the license, the following undergraduate requirements must be completed: HPE 115 - Chemical Dependency Education EDC 220 - Educational Technology EED 326 - Elementary Reading K-6 Field Experience* (taken concurrently with EED 325/525) EED 311 - K-6 Methods: Health EED 312 - K-6 Methods: Physical Education EED 336 - Advanced Literacy Methods* EED 341 - K-6 Methods: Art EED 370 - K-6 Methods: Social Studies/Thematics EED 380 - Kindergarten Methods* EED 386 - K-6 Methods: Children’s Literature EED 481, 483, 485 - Student Teaching: Elementary K-6 EED 488 - TPA and Student Teaching Seminar *Field experience hours are required in these courses. Students spend 20 or more hours per term in field experiences. These experiences occur in K-6 classrooms during the weekday. If more than one course with field experience is taken in a given term, field experience requirements expand accordingly (i.e., two courses with 20 hours of field experience each require a total of 40 hours). Undergraduate Liberal Arts Requirements The number of supporting content area courses required for licensure depends upon the courses completed as part of the bachelor’s degree and/or other coursework. Requirements are determined by Minnesota licensure standards for specific college-level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary licensure. Specific requirements are on file in the Education Department. Minnesota licensure standards allow for optional subject area endorsements in communication arts/literature, social studies, math, and science. Subject matter courses for these endorsements will be available through a combination of weekday, evening and off-campus courses. The optional pre-primary endorsement is also available. Specific requirements for these endorsements are on file in the Education Department. Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. The Education Department and the content area departments determine the courses that are accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. Courses that are older than five years are judged on a case-by-case basis. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree. The program has limits on the amount and type of courses that are accepted. Grades of B or better are required for transfer consideration. See the MAE program director for approval of graduate coursework accepted in transfer. Preprimary Endorsement for Elementary Licensure This endorsement can be added to a K-6 elementary license. Required courses include the following: PSY 250 - Child Development (PSY 105 is a prerequisite for this course) SOC 231 - Family Systems: Cross Cultural Perspectives or SPE 490/540 - Parent and Professional Planning (Graduate students take SPE 540.) ECE 345/545 - Foundations of Preprimary Education ECE 346/546 - Learning Environments for Preprimary-Aged Children ECE 347/547 - Immersion and Teaching Competence ECE 488, 489 - Student Teaching: Preprimary K-12 and 5-12 Secondary Education K-12 and 5-12 licenses in several content areas are offered through a combination of graduate and undergraduate coursework. K-12 licenses prepare teachers to teach a content area across elementary, middle school, and high school. Licenses for grades 5- 12 prepare teachers to teach at the middle and high school levels. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet MAE admissions criteria. 34 Subject matter courses in the following majors are offered on weekday evenings and summer: English, communications (for communication arts), history or economics or psychology (for social studies), art. Students seeking 5–12 licensure in social studies must complete a broad-based core of courses in the social studies in addition to a social science major. Education courses for these licenses are also taken during weekday evenings and summer. The following content area majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry, physics, health, physical education, music, and mathematics. Students seeking licensure in any of these areas typically will need to take additional content courses in the weekday schedule and off-campus. Students can obtain a 9-12 license in physics, chemistry, or biology and have the option of adding the 5–8 general science to the 9-12 license. Students also can obtain the 5–8 general science license without the 9–12 license. Education courses for these licenses are taken during weekday evenings. Licensure Requirements The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure; four to seven of them also may be taken at the graduate level and applied toward the master’s degree in education. EDC 200/522 - Orientation to Education in an Urban Setting* EDC 206/566 - Diversity/Minnesota American Indians EDC 310/533 - Learning and Development in an Educational Setting* EDC 410/544 - Learners with Special Needs* EDC 490/580 - School and Society ESE 325/525 - Creating Learning Environments ESE 300/500 - Reading and Writing in Content Area* EDC 591 - Topics To complete the license, students also will need to complete the following requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE 115 - Chemical Dependency Education EDC 220 - Educational Technology ESE 3XX - K-12 or 5-12 Methods (in the content area)* ESE 481, 483, 485 - Student Teaching: Secondary ESE 488 - TPA and Student Teaching Seminar *Field experience hours are required in these courses. A minimum of 100 hours in classrooms and education-related settings is required prior to student teaching. Students spend approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences. Undergraduate Content Area Requirements The equivalent of a major in the licensure content area is required for K-12 and 5-12 licenses. Students who have majored in a field in which we offer licensure must have their previous coursework evaluated by the major department at Augsburg. Two or more content area courses tied to Minnesota licensure standards are generally required, even with a completed academic major. Previous coursework is evaluated by the content area department and accepted if it meets Minnesota licensure standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. Coursework older than five years is judged on a case-by-case basis. Specific course requirements for each content area are on file in the Education Department. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree program. See the MAE program director for approval to use graduate level transfer courses in the degree program. Special Education Augsburg College offers licensure in K–12 Special Education: Academic Behavioral Strategist (ABS). This program qualifies students to teach in special education programs and positions working with students with mild to moderate disabilities in the areas of emotional/behavioral disabilities, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disabilities, developmental and cognitive disabilities and other health disabilities. This program is built on an inclusive education model. Under this model, students learn how to work closely with both special and general educators to facilitate 35 inclusion of special education students into the regular education classroom. Five years after being licensed, teachers must extend their license in one of the above categories through additional coursework. Also available is the Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort—this graduate licensure program in Special Education: EBD/LD is designed and taught from an American Indian perspective. It is offered in collaboration with the University of Minnesota-Duluth as a hybrid (partly face-to-face and partly online) cohort program. The licensure courses can be applied towards the MAE degree. See the Education Department and http://www.augsburg.edu/mae/tribalspecial-education for more information. The ABS licensure program is offered through weeknight and summer schedules. The Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort program is offered primarily online with weekend sessions at the beginning and end of each semester. Licensure Requirements Licensure requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Classes will include both undergraduate and graduate students, with graduate students having additional course responsibilities. Graduate courses are taken at the 500 level.

The K-12 ESL licensure program is comprised of both undergraduate and graduate courses; up to seven of the graduate courses can apply to the completion of the MAE degree. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and have been admitted to the MAE program. A pre-requisite to program admissions is two years of high school level or one year of college level language instruction. The K-12 ESL program is offered in a hybrid format which means that courses are a mix of face to face and online instruction. Classes are offered during the academic year in the evening semester framework and during summer session to make them accessible to working adults. This license is also offered as an undergraduate major to Augsburg Undergraduate (AU) students seeking a baccalaureate degree. The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure, and up to seven also may be taken at the graduate level and applied toward the master’s degree in education.

K-12 Reading Teacher Endorsement The K-12 Reading Endorsement provides teachers with existing teaching licenses an opportunity to expand their knowledge and practice in the area of reading instruction and potentially provide leadership within schools and districts in reading instruction. Candidates for this license will complete five classes that have been designed to meet the requirements established for this license by the Minnesota Board of Teaching. Students may use these courses to fulfill requirements for the Master of Arts in Education degree. The K-12 Reading Teacher Endorsement program is offered in a hybrid format which means that courses are a mix of face-to-face and online instruction. Classes are offered during summer sessions and within the weekend format during the academic year. The endorsement program is designed to be completed within 12 months in a cohort model. Field experiences at elementary, middle school and high school levels are required; student teaching is not required. Required courses include: EDC 500 - Reading Leadership in the K-12 Schools EDC 506 - Readership, Literature, and New Literacies EDC 515 - Reading Leadership: Reading Theory and Research* EDC 535 - Reading Leadership: Assessment and Instruction with Elementary Readers* EDC 545 - Reading Leadership: Assessment and Instruction with Middle and High School Readers* *Field experience required Student Teaching Students are required to complete student teaching for initial and additional licenses (unless otherwise indicated). In the MAE program, student teaching is generally completed before finishing the degree. Students can apply for licensure at this point and finish the degree later. Student teaching for elementary, secondary, and K-12 initial licenses lasts 12-14 weeks, depending on licensure scope. During that time, students work full-time as student teachers and are supervised by an Augsburg faculty member. Students register for eight to twelve semester credits of student teaching and a two semester credit edTPA and student teaching seminar. They meet at Augsburg College for student teaching seminars several times during the term. Most student teaching placements are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area and Rochester. However, students do have the opportunity to student teach abroad, where students complete a 10-week student teaching experience in the metro area and then complete another student teaching experience abroad. Opportunities to teach abroad are available around the world, and it is a wonderful way to build a global perspective in education. Additional information is available through the Education Department. Student teaching for special education is 12 weeks in length for initial licenses and 7 weeks for those who already hold a license. For students who are working in a special education setting appropriate to the ABS license, a student teaching placement at that site may be possible, pending district approval. Additional information is available through the Education Department. Student teaching for ESL is 14 weeks in length and requires two placements, elementary and secondary. A single seven week placement is required for those who already hold a license. See the Education Department for more information. Student teaching is required for the preprimary endorsement and middle school endorsements. See the Education Department for more information. Curriculum—Graduate Degree Completion Options Students take graduate coursework as part of the licensure program. This coursework forms the Master of Arts in Education licensure core, with between four to seven Augsburg graduate-level licensure courses fulfilling master’s requirements. Students bringing fewer than seven graduate-level licensure courses or 21 semester credits into the degree program must complete additional Master of Arts in Leadership (ML) or education graduate courses to reach the required 30-33 semester credits for the MAE degree. To finish out the master’s degree, students will need to complete one of the following options. 38 Action Research Degree Completion Option (Minimum 30 credits) This degree completion option requires a minimum of three classes totaling at least nine semester credits: a Master of Arts in Leadership (ML) elective, EDC 592 Action Research 1, and EDC 593 Action Research 2. The action research courses guide the student through completion of a long-term action research project, typically conducted in the student’s classroom and focused on a question or concern identified by the student. The research is presented at an action research symposium and a formal written report of the research is placed in Lindell Library. The coursework for action research is designed to be completed in two semesters; the project itself is done once the research is presented at an action research symposium and the paper is accepted for placement in Lindell Library. Additional terms beyond those in which the courses are completed are available through continuing registration for up to 13 semesters at no further charge. Leadership Application Project (LAP) Degree Completion Option (Minimum 30 credits) This option is currently suspended until further notice. This degree completion option requires a minimum of three classes totaling at least nine semester credits: an ML elective, EDC/ML 514 Research Methods - Education focus or ML 514 - Research Methods and EDC 585 - Leadership Application Project. Students electing this degree completion option do so because they are interested in developing an educational product that meets an identified need or because they are interested in conducting an independent research project with the assistance of a faculty advisor. To be successful in this option, students must be self-directed and able to maintain momentum without the structure of an actual course. The goal for the project varies, depending on the type of LAP. There are two options within the LAP. • • The goal for those developing an educational product is to identify an issue or problem related to their practice, and after researching available literature, develop a solution to the problem or issue. The solution might be developed in the form of a curriculum, a workshop, a set of informational materials, a website, an article for publication or other appropriate educational product. The goal for those conducting independent research is also to identify an issue or problem to investigate; but in this case, the investigation is through an independent research project. For those conducting independent research, it is especially important to have a clear vision in mind for the research and have an advisor who is willing to provide support throughout the project. Students need a research background beyond what is provided within the MAE program to be successful with this option. Both options are completed through a final oral presentation and placement of the final paper in the Lindell Library. Additional terms beyond those in which the courses are completed are available through continuing registration for up to 13 semesters at no further charge. Performance Assessment/Teacher Leadership Degree Completion Option (Minimum 33 credits) This degree completion option focuses on the theme of the MAE degree program - teacher leadership - and requires a minimum of the following four classes: EDC 570 - Teacher Leadership EDC/ML 514 - Research Methods (ML 514 can be substituted if necessary) EDC 594 - Performance Assessment Project One ML leadership-focused course, preferably from this list: ML 510 - Visions of Leadership (when taught with an emphasis on leadership rather than literature) ML 531 - Dynamics of Change ML 535 - Organizational Theory and Leadership ML 540 - Political Leadership: Theory and Practice ML 545 - Decision Making and Leadership ML 565 - Women and Leadership Additional courses may also be used with approval of the MAE Director. 39 Students electing this degree completion option do so because they are especially interested in considering leadership within the context of education and themselves as potential change agents. EDC 594 must be taken as the last course in this sequence. Students finish their degree through this option with the successful completion of these four classes. Alternate Settings—MAE in Rochester In step with Augsburg College’s excellent reputation in the field of education, the Master of Arts in Education program is also offered in Rochester, MN. Licenses are available in elementary education and special education: ABS. Classes primarily meet weekday evenings and summer at Bethel Lutheran Church in Rochester. Elementary education The K-6 elementary education license allows students to teach in grade K-6. Augsburg College offers this license at the graduate level to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet admissions requirements. Courses for this license are available in Rochester. Special education The K-12 Academic Behavior Specialist (ABS) program is designed for students currently working with or planning to work with students with mild to moderate special needs. The program leads to Minnesota teaching licensure in special education and the ability to work with students whose special needs are categorized as EBD, LD, DCD, ASD, and/or OHI. All courses for these licenses are available in Rochester. The Performance Assessment degree completion option is offered in Rochester as needed, typically every other year. MAL Elective Courses At least one elective must be taken from the Master of Arts in Leadership courses. The following are recommended, but others may also be used.

Admission to MAE Admission Requirements Students admitted into the MAE licensure and degree programs must have: • • Bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited four-year institution Cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher (required for full admission for the graduate licensure option and degree program). Students with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5-2.99 may be admitted conditionally into the graduate licensure program. To be admitted to the MAE degree completion program, all students must have a 3.0 or better Augsburg GPA. Application Checklist The following items must be sent to the Augsburg Office of Admissions: • • • Completed application form - www.augsburg.edu/admissions/mae/admissions $35 non-refundable application fee Personal summary outlining your tentative educational objectives and reasons for wanting to attend Augsburg 40 • Official academic transcripts from all previously attended post-secondary institutions (including colleges, universities, vocational/technical schools, and PSEO institutions) sent directly to the Admissions Office. Admission as an International Student International applicants must submit the required application materials listed above. Refer to the additional requirements outlined in Admission of International Students. Transfer Policy Acceptance of previous education coursework completed at institutions other than Augsburg College is limited. Most courses that have not been completed in the last seven years are considered to be too old to transfer and need to be completed as part of one’s program at Augsburg. EDC 310/533 - Learning and Development, EDC 220 - Education Technology, and ESE 3XX - K-12/5-12 Special Methods in Content Area are courses which may have a shorter acceptance time frame. Additional information on the transfer policy is available through the Education Department. Credit Evaluation: An official transfer credit evaluation of previous academic work will be completed as part of the admissions process. Education coursework is evaluated by the Education Department. For secondary licenses, content area coursework is evaluated by the content area department. This process is initiated as part of the admissions process. Generally, the requirement is that two or more classes in the content area must be taken at Augsburg, even with an undergraduate major in the field. In all cases, previous undergraduate courses must have received a grade of C or better to be eligible for transfer. Previous graduate coursework must have received a grade of B or better to be considered. Content area departments determine when courses are too old to be counted towards licensure. Acceptance into the MAE Program Application files are reviewed by the MAE director. Applicants are notified of the admission decision by the Office of Admissions, usually within one to two weeks after the application file is complete. Applicants whose cumulative undergraduate GPA is below 2.5 will not be admitted into the MAE program; however, these applicants can be reconsidered when additional undergraduate coursework raises the cumulative undergraduate GPA to 2.5 or above. An exception to this occurs when the applicant has completed an advanced degree with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better. Under these circumstances, the applicant can be considered for full admission into the MAE degree and licensure programs. Advising and Registration Admitted students are able to participate in academic advising and the registration process. Typically, first-term registration occurs with intake advising. After the first term, students generally are able to register online through Records and Registration. All students are assigned an Education Department advisor early in the first semester of courses. Academic Policies Application to the Education Department Once accepted to the College and the MAE program, students may take designated courses in education and content areas. Prior to beginning the methods courses within a program, students must be admitted to the Education Department. This admissions process is outlined in the EDC 200/522 - Orientation to Education and in admissions handbooks, which are available through the Education Department. Academic Achievement All MAE students are expected to achieve and maintain 3.0 or better GPA in their Augsburg course work. Students whose cumulative GPA falls between 2.5 and 2.99 at the end of their licensure program are able to complete the license but are not eligible for the degree. Students with cumulative GPA’s below 2.5 may not student teach and are subject to academic probation and possible dismissal. In all cases, a cumulative GPA on the Augsburg graduate transcript must be at 3.0 or better to be admitted to the degree completion component of the MAE degree. Students who are ready to begin the degree completion component must file an Intent to Complete form (available through the MAE coordinator) at which point a transcript review is completed 41 to confirm the 3.0 or better GPA and to determine the completed courses that apply to the degree and the courses that remain. Minimum Grade Policy Students who fail to maintain a cumulative 2.5 GPA in a given term are notified that they must raise their GPA to the required level. Students who receive below a 2.0 in any undergraduate course or 2.5 in any graduate course required for licensure are expected to repeat the course as soon as possible and raise the grade to the appropriate level. Dismissal from Licensure and Degree Program Students may be dismissed from the licensure program prior to and during student teaching for failure to maintain appropriate academic and teaching-based performance standards, for gross violation of College policy, and/or for conduct in violation of professional ethics. Dismissal occurs within the context of established department procedures described in the Education Department Handbook available through the Education Department. Students have the right to appeal dismissal from the licensure program on the grounds of procedural error, using the College’s program dismissal appeals process. Information about the program dismissal appeals process is available in the Augsburg Student Guide. Students who fail to complete the license may have the option to finish the degree. Fieldwork Requirements Fieldwork experiences are tied to several licensure courses. In most cases, these experiences are conducted within a service-learning framework, providing service to the school and classroom while also providing students’ opportunities for focused reflection linked back to course objectives. In general, students should plan for a minimum of 20 hours field experience per term. When multiple courses with field experience are taken in the same term, the requirements expand accordingly. Students in field experiences are evaluated by their host K-12 teachers on the basis of criteria drawn from the Minnesota Standards of Effective Practice. Evaluations are kept in the students’ Education Department files and used in decisions regarding progress through the program and student teaching. A full description of field experience requirements is available in the Education Department Handbook. Readmission and Withdrawal Students in good standing who fail to register for courses for two terms (not including summer) are withdrawn from the MAE program. To be readmitted to the College and the MAE program, students file a Readmission form through the Registrar’s Office. Program Costs In addition to tuition, students in this program can expect to pay a data maintenance fee upon admission to the department, as well as liability insurance at the student rate during student teaching and the cost of a background check for licensure and, possibly, field experience. In addition, optional international travel courses have associated costs above and beyond the charge for tuition. Full-time Faculty Elizabeth M. Ankeny, Associate Professor of Education.

Organizations seek leaders who possess: • • • • • An ethically and morally responsible vision An understanding of how change occurs and how it can be managed A sensitivity to the complex problems of organizations and an ability to find solutions consistent with their mission Cultural competence and sensitivity to the needs of a diverse population The ability to inspire and motivate people to work toward a common goal The Augsburg leadership development model provides a framework through which the program recruits its students and develops their skills. Program Overview The study of leadership is central to Augsburg College. The College mission statement says, “Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.” The Master of Arts in Leadership is quintessentially Augsburg. The integrated liberal arts perspective on leadership education is what we think of as the “Augsburg difference.” The Master of Arts in Leadership is the core program of Augsburg’s Center for Leadership Studies (CLS). Developed and launched in 1987, it is Augsburg’s oldest graduate degree and one of the oldest leadership graduate degrees in the United States. The program responds to the leadership development needs of both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. MAL has a deep theoretical base in leadership studies, yet also offers its students practical approaches to leadership that can be applied in the workplace and society. Leadership Development Model The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that: • • • Inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources Promotes productivity within and beyond the organization Works toward progress for the individual and the organization To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to persuade, and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are abilities and awareness, outlined in the Leadership Development Model, which serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg’s model of leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the individual. Learning Goals and Outcomes The MAL program is designed to support students in developing the knowledge and skills to: • • • • • • Explore the nature and practice of leadership in a wide variety of dynamic organizational and community settings Develop a personal understanding and philosophy of leadership Aspire to be responsible leaders who are informed citizens, critical thinkers, and thoughtful stewards Enhance knowledge of self and the capacity to be reflective learners Analyze and navigate increasingly complex changing environments Formulate and articulate a shared vision in order to inspire others to achieve desired goals MAL Courses Each course encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners. Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity. These techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and 44 understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative abilities. Plan of Study Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL program is based on the assumption that the students who enroll are career-oriented, self-disciplined, and well-motivated individuals seeking a balance of classroom experience, group interaction, and individual study. Courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for discussion and dialogue. The program features classes taught by faculty from multiple disciplines and offers two formats to allow students to choose the option that works best for them. Both formats offer a combination of classroom and online learning styles in different proportions. The classic classroom format emphasizes face-to-face instruction augmented by online work. The integrated hybrid format combines online and intensive learning experiences with occasional sessions in a traditional classroom setting. Two Convenient Formats: Classic Classroom and Integrated Hybrid Cohort Overview Classic Classroom Format For more than 25 years, our classic classroom format has featured a flexible choice model that allows students to select courses that focus on individual goals, interests, and learning style. Students can also determine the pace at which they move through the program. This format offers numerous electives and allows for individualized studies. Some online work is incorporated into this format. Schedule During fall and spring semesters, classes usually meet every other Saturday morning or afternoon for four hours. Additional instruction time is provided online. Seven Saturday sessions are included in one semester. Some select classes meet on Monday evenings. Students can take a combination of Saturday and Monday courses. A sample class schedule in the classic classroom format: Period I Saturday 8:00 am to 12:00 pm Period II Saturday 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm Period III Weeknights 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm Note: Each class taken commits a student to Period I, Period II, or Period III, an average of two meetings a month. A few courses are taught on an immersion model, which features fewer but longer sessions. The MAL program also offers summer semester courses in seven-week, fourteen-week, or special immersion formats. Curriculum Four core courses: ML 505 - Foundations of Leadership ML 514 - Research Methods ML 580 - Colloquium on Contemporary Theories of Leadership ML 585 - Integrating the Theory and Practice of Responsible Leadership (Capstone Course) Seven electives, selected from more than 20 offerings* *Students may petition the program to do a thesis in place of two of the elective courses. Students who do the thesis are required to develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of leadership or of a leadership-related topic and register for ML 592 Thesis Consultation I and ML 593 Thesis Consultation II. Students electing to write a thesis are still required to take ML 585 to complete the program. 45 Elective courses for the Classic Classroom format The MAL program requires that seven elective courses be selected from the following course list. All courses are 3 semester credits: ML 510 - Visions of Leadership ML 511 - Creativity and the Problem-Solving Process ML 520 - Self-Identity, Values, and Personal Growth ML 527 - Spirituality and Leadership in the Workplace ML 530 - Ethics in Communication ML 531 - The Dynamics of Change ML 535 - Organization Theory and Leadership ML 536 - Facilitating Organizational Change ML 538 - Communication Skills for Leadership ML 539 - Communicating a Self in the Modern Organization ML 540 - Political Leadership: Theory and Practice ML 545 - Decision Making and Leadership ML 548 - Coaching and Consulting ML 550 - Communication, Decision Making, and Technology ML 553 - Design and Leadership ML 557 - Language of Leadership ML 560 - Cultural Competence and Effective Leadership ML 563 - Leadership in a Global Society ML 565 - Women and Leadership ML 570 - Negotiation: Theory and Practice ML 574 - Strategic Leadership ML 575 - Constructive Conflict Resolution ML 576 - Leading Innovation ML 577 - Universal Responsibility and Leadership: A Nicaraguan Experience ML 598 - Independent Study ML 599 - Topics Overview of Integrated Hybrid Cohort Format A combination of online, classroom, and experiential learning The integrated hybrid model is completed in two years with a combination of intensive face-to-face sessions and online coursework. Students complete the program with a cohort of peers representing many different perspectives. Students learn from each other and build relationships that will provide support throughout the program and a valuable network for the future. Schedule After starting with a five-day summer experience, classes meet on a semester schedule September through mid-April (fall and spring semesters) and mid-May through mid-August summer semester). Coursework will be online and supported by three on-campus class sessions per term. Curriculum *ML 505 - Foundations of Leadership ML 512 - Responsible Leadership for the 21st Century (Intensive) *ML 514 - Research Methods ML 520 - Self-Identity, Values, and Personal Growth ML 523 - Leading Authentically ML 553 - Design and Leadership ML 563 - Leadership in a Global Society ML 574 - Strategic Leadership 46 ML 577 - Universal Responsibility and Leadership: A Nicaraguan Experience (or alternative elective) *ML 580 - Colloquium of Contemporary Theories of Leadership *ML 585 - Integrating the Theory and Practice of Responsible Leadership (Capstone Course) * Core courses offered in the integrated hybrid format (required for all students) A sequenced list of seven electives is prepared for each cohort. In the cohort program, students complete 11 courses, including a capstone course (ML 585). MBA/MAL Dual Degree The dual degree program takes advantage of the intellectual benefits of studying business administration and leadership in a coordinated program. It leverages Augsburg’s long tradition of graduate leadership training via the MA in Leadership with the robust demand for business education through our MBA program. The dual degree provides students with the leadership skills needed to run a business and, at the same time, helps them develop the comprehensive outlook they need to thrive in today’s interconnected world. A minimum of 18 Augsburg courses completes the MBA/MA in Leadership dual degree, including at least 7 MBA courses and 7 MA in Leadership courses. The following dual degree program requirements must be met. 7 courses are required from MBA courses: • • • • • • • MBA 510 – Managerial Economics MBA 520 – Accounting for Managers MBA 530 – Managerial Finance MBA 540 – Business and Professional Ethics MBA 550 – Marketing Management MBA 570 – Quantitative Decision Making for Managers MBA 580 – The Field Study 4 core courses are required from MA in Leadership courses with 3 MAL elective courses: • • • • • ML 505 – Foundations of Leadership ML 514 – Research Methods ML 580 – Colloquium on Contemporary Theories of Leadership ML 585, ML 585, ML 588 or ML 597 – Final Project ML Electives (3) Three Focus Area Courses Students will choose one course from each of the focus areas: Focus Area #1: Organizational Development • • • MBA 545 – Organizational Development ML 535 – Organizational Theory and Leadership Director approved course with organizational development focus Focus Area #2: Global/Multicultural Perspective • • • • MBA 565 – Global Environment for Managers ML 560 – Cultural Competence and Effective Leadership Ml 563 – Leadership in a Global Society Director approved course with global/multicultural focus Focus Area #3: Strategic Leadership • • • MBA 595 – Strategic Management ML 574 – Strategic Leadership Director approved course with strategic leadership focus 47 One Additional Elective Course Elective course may be taken in either MBA or MA in Leadership Program Admission to the Dual Degree Program Admission for the dual degree program is handled on a “rolling” basis and requires applicants to hold a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited four-year college or university. Official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions are required as well as a current résumé and two recommendations. An interview with the program director is also part of the admissions process. Although we do accept the GMAT and GRE, we also offer candidates an alternative math and writing profile assessment entitled the Individual Learning Profile (ILP) which provides a picture of candidate’s math and writing (verbal) competency detailing strengths and areas of improvement. The profile is not an admissions screening instrument and will be used as a platform to develop a skills improvement plan for students should they need it. Earning the dual degree during or after the MBA or MA in Leadership program Students who are currently enrolled in the MBA or MA in Leadership program or alumni who wish to return to Augsburg may add the dual degree to their existing degree by completing most of the same requirements listed on the front of this page. Students may use previously completed application pieces and coursework to help meet these requirements. Returning students may complete an abbreviated application form after consultation with the MBA or ML program director. Upon entering the MBA program, a quantitative online profile assessment must also be taken. This is used as a platform to enhance skills, if needed. Students with an MA in Leadership who wish to add the dual degree will take a minimum of 7 required MBA courses. Students will complete one course in each of the 3 focus areas if they did not complete these courses during their MAL program. Each student’s program will be slightly different based on their prior course selections. Students with an MBA will complete 4 required and 3 elective MA in Leadership courses. Students will need to complete one course in each of the 3 focus areas if they did not complete these courses during their MBA program. Each student’s program will be slightly different based on their prior course selections. Students in both programs will meet individually with the program directors to determine whether their completed final project meets the criteria aligned with the dual degree final project. Directors may ask that the project be modified or added to or ask the student to complete another project. These decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis. Certificate in Leadership Studies The certificate program is an attractive option for people who want to develop their leadership skills without undertaking a full degree program. A certificate is awarded after completion of five Augsburg MAL courses in leadership. Students pursuing this option take ML 505 - Foundations of Leadership and four additional electives. The normal application process is used for students who wish to pursue the certificate. Joint BA in Accounting and Master of Arts in Leadership A BA in Accounting and an MA in Leadership (MAL) can be earned in this five-year program designed for students who wish to qualify for CPA certification and obtain a master’s degree. By the end of the fifth year and successful completion of all requirements, the student receives both a BA in Accounting and an MA in Leadership and will have fulfilled the 150-hour requirement to qualify for the CPA certification. The MAL program offers a large number of courses on a weekend schedule or Monday evening. Refer to the MAL program schedule for the list of courses each year and to the accounting program coordinator for a detailed academic plan. Students should meet with both the MAL director and an accounting advisor to create an effective plan for successful completion of the five-year program. General Requirements for the Accounting/MAL Program Accounting students planning to pursue the five-year degree must apply for admission to the MAL program at the end of their junior year. The application process includes submission of: 48 • • • • • • Completed application form Three letters of recommendation (two from professors and one from an employer) Personal statement Example of their writing in an academic paper GPA of at least 3.30 Interview with a three-person panel from the MAL program Students must also have faculty endorsement from the Accounting program. Students must complete at least one year of accounting work experience (either a job or internship) by the time they graduate from the MAL program. Program Coordinator: Professor Stu Stoller.

Refer to the additional requirements outline in Admission of International Students in the Graduate Admissions section. Academic Policies Academic Evaluation Courses not offered on the numbered grading system are noted in the course descriptions in this catalog as being graded on P/N basis. In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 3.0. No more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will count toward the degree. No more than two courses with a grade of or below 2.5 can be repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are counted in the grade point average. Any course with a grade of 2.0 or lower will be transcribed as 0.0 academic credit. In order to graduate, a student must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above. All required courses and the final projects must be successfully completed. A student registered for a final course may be permitted to participate in commencement but will not receive a diploma until all courses are successfully completed. Academic Probation and Dismissal Policies Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If a student receives a grade of N or 0.0 in a course, the student must petition successfully with the MAL director before being allowed to continue in the program. A plan for the student to follow would be outlined at that time. If a second grade of N or 0.0 is received, the student may be dismissed from the program. Students may also be dismissed for behavior detrimental to the program, such as a gross violation of College policy (as published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would occur only after established procedures were followed. MAL Program Enrollment Policy Students normally take either one or two courses per semester. Enrolling in two courses per semester (including summer semester) enables a student to complete the coursework in the program within two years. Students who are away from classes for one year or longer must complete an Application for Readmission and submit it to the Registrar’s Office. Students who have been out of the program for more than two years may, at the discretion of the program director, be required to take additional courses to refresh their understanding of the field.

Our classes are made up of students representing a dynamic mix of cultures, spiritual traditions, and life-ways. It is exciting for us to offer experienced nurses transforming educational opportunities and engaging transcultural encounters that expand their career choices and advance their nursing practice. The increasing diversity of our population today challenges all of us to respond to individual health care needs with creativity and competence in a variety of emerging care settings. The Master of Arts in Nursing program is designed to prepare nurses for those evolving contexts of care. Students can choose between two tracks of study: Transcultural Nursing and Transformational Nursing Leadership. Each track of study emphasizes leadership skills, inter-professional collaboration and ways to serve persons in a variety of care settings. The post-master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program builds on the MAN and prepares nurses for innovative health leadership and advanced nursing practice at local and system-wide levels. Drawing on a transcultural nursing foundation, the DNP curriculum embraces integrative health care and holistic nursing practice to maximize health for individuals and communities. Students design their own scholarly paths defined by their unique gifts, interests, and practice goals. Throughout the DNP program there are a range of opportunities for collaboration across cultures, socioeconomic strata and care systems. The post-BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) to DNP/Family Nurse Practitioner track of study prepares nurses for advanced nursing leadership and integrative primary care of families across cultures and care settings. Drawing on a transcultural nursing foundation, the DNP/FNP curriculum embraces integrative healthcare and holistic nursing practice. Emphasis is on eliminating health inequities through peaceful, just, and collaborative actions that uphold and improve human potential. The curriculum emphasizes knowledge, skills and values that foster one’s ability to lead change, while addressing health needs and concerns of families and communities. Nursing scholarship and advanced autonomous practice frame the critical exploration of knowledge in transcultural nursing, integrative healthcare practices, transformational leadership, and health assessment. Classes in both the DNP and MAN programs are offered on the Augsburg campus and at Bethel Lutheran Church in Rochester, MN, where our branch campus is located. Video conferencing and online assignments are used for some of the classes, however, our students and faculty are committed to driving from one site to the other at least once during each semester to be physically present and together. Building relationships is important to us. Program faculty and staff are available at both sites and eager to assist students. Cheryl J. Leuning Chair, Department of Nursing Director, Master of Arts in Nursing Program and Doctor of Nursing Practice Program 52 Master of Arts in Nursing Mission The Master of Arts in Nursing program is designed to prepare nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural nursing practice across care settings with particular emphasis on addressing health inequities. Students select from two tracks of study—Transformational Nursing Leadership or Transcultural Nursing. Both tracks prepare nurse leaders to assume a wide variety of roles and responsibilities throughout the healthcare system and in emerging care settings in communities. Curriculum The MAN curriculum is organized into 33 semester credits –15 semester credits in a Nursing Core, in which all students enroll, and 18 semester credits in one of the two Tracks of Study. Practica are taken concurrently with most courses and are integrated throughout the program. Each semester credit of practicum is equal to 45 clock hours of practice. Students select a track of study when applying to the program, however, this is not essential until after one’s first semester. Students may study full-time (6-8 semester credits per term) or part-time (4 semester credits per term). Time to degree completion takes an average 22 months when studying full-time, and 32 months when studying part-time. Nursing Core Courses (15 semester credits) The core nursing courses integrate a strong foundation of social justice incorporating multiple ways of knowing with curricular emphasis on nursing science, art, and theory to guide practice.

Transformational Nursing Leadership track courses include: NUR 501 - Nursing Leadership in Complex Adaptive Systems (3 semester credits) NUR 501P - Practicum: Nursing Leadership in Complex Adaptive Systems (1 semester credit) NUR 521 - Transformational Nursing Leadership (3 semester credits) NUR 521P - Practicum: Transformational Nursing Leadership (2 semester credits) NUR 523 - Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (3 semester credits) NUR 523P - Practicum: Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (2 semester credits) NUR 525 - Graduate Field Project (3 semester credits) NUR 525P - Practicum: Graduate Field Project (2 semester credits) Students graduating from the Transformational Leadership Track of the master’s program are eligible to apply to the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for certification as a Nurse Executive, Advanced and to the Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing. Graduate Field Project in Transformational Nursing Leadership Students will fulfill their Master of Arts in Nursing through a final practice-focused project, which serves as the capstone of the master’s program. The last two classes in the curriculum–NUR 523 and NUR 525—emphasize the development 53 and articulation of a final field project focused on transformational leadership. Students present their final projects in NUR 525. Transcultural Nursing Across Care Settings Track (18 semester credits) The Transcultural Nursing track in the Master of Arts in Nursing program was designed to prepare nurses for advanced practice across care settings in culturally diverse communities. The curriculum is grounded in nursing science, theoryguided practice, and transcultural principles. Emphasis is on reaching out to persons and populations that are underserved by traditional care systems and who exist outside of the social mainstream. As such, the track provides rich alternative learning opportunities for graduate students locally and internationally. Transcultural Nursing Across Care Settings track courses include: NUR 532 - Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (3 semester credits) NUR 532P – Practicum: Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (1 semester credits) NUR 530 - The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Healing (3 semester credits) NUR 530P – Practicum: The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Healing (1 semester credits) NUR 523 - Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (3 semester credits) NUR 523P – Practicum: Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (2 semester credits) NUR 525 - Graduate Field Project (3 semester credits) NUR 525P - Graduate Field Project (2 semester credits) Students graduating from the Transcultural Nursing track of the master’s program are eligible to apply to the Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing and certification in Holistic Nursing through the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation (AHNCC) (www.ahncc.org). Graduate Field Project in Transcultural Nursing Students will fulfill their Master of Arts in Nursing through a final practice-focused project, which serves as the capstone of the master’s program. The last two classes in the curriculum—NUR 523 and NUR 525—emphasize the development and articulation of a final field project focused on transcultural nursing. Students present their final projects in NUR 525. Practica Practice experience is emphasized in both tracks in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. Students earn 9 semester credits of practicum work that is equal to 405 clock hours of practice—45 clock hours per semester credit hour. Practica are generally semi-structured, experiential, and led by faculty and cultural guides familiar with the communities in which the practica occur. Some practica are student directed. In all practica, students are encouraged to immerse themselves in practice settings that serve persons underserved or excluded from mainstream health care, as emphasis in the program is on cultural diversity and health inequities across health care settings. Practica focusing on experiential learning with a transformational nurse leader provides students with the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of organizational dynamics and change through a complexity science paradigm. Augsburg Central Health Commons & the Inner City A unique opportunity for students to explore advanced nursing roles and new models and forms of practice is provided by the Augsburg Central Health Commons, and the Health Commons in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. Both Health Commons are nursing-led drop-in centers dedicated to serving those in need and focused on healthy individuals and communities. People from diverse backgrounds, who have health experiences grounded in wide ranging cultural contexts frequent the Health Commons for health support and reassurance. Service and care are based on respect, relationship, and collaboration that connects health and hope for all participants. Health Commons partners include Central Lutheran Church in downtown Minneapolis, Fairview Health Services, U-Care, and the East Africa Health Project. Study Abroad and Away The Department of Nursing works closely with cultural guides and nurse mentors in various contexts of care in emerging care settings at home and abroad. The Center for Global Education is a partner with the Department of Nursing in developing and facilitating study abroad opportunities in Guatemala and Mexico. 54 Additional collaborative partners include the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS) in Namibia, the Pine Ridge Retreat Center, in Pine Ridge, SD, and a variety of cultural guides and local practitioners throughout England. A detailed listing of practica and immersion experiences abroad and away can be found at the nursing website (www.augsburg.edu/nursing).

Academic Policies Evaluation of academic performance in the Master of Arts in Nursing program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale. See detailed information in the Academic Programs and Policies Attendance Policy Class attendance is expected and should be considered a key responsibility, not only to one’s self, but to one’s classmates and the course instructor. Instructors may lower grades if attendance and participation is lacking. Individual syllabi will contain individual instructors’ requirements. Because classes are held in Rochester and Minneapolis, students must prepare to drive to class at least once per term. 55 Academic Probation and Dismissal Policies Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the MAN program. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If a student receives a grade of 2.0 or less in a course, the student must petition successfully to the faculty of the Master of Arts in Nursing program before being allowed to continue in the program. A plan for the student to follow would be outlined at that time. If a second grade of 2.0 or less is received, the student may be dismissed from the program. Students may also be dismissed for behavior detrimental to the program, such as a gross violation of college policy as published in the Student Guide. Dismissal would occur only after established procedures were followed. Credit for Prior Education Students may petition the Master of Arts in Nursing faculty for approval of transfer of credit. Transfer credits will be evaluated on an individual basis. The only courses that will be considered for transfer credit are those earned from regionally accredited colleges and universities, whose course content is comparable to course content in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. No more than nine semester credits will be accepted for transfer credit. Schedules for Classes Master’s classes are taught in a hybrid format combining in-class and web-based instruction to meet the needs of working adults. Most classes meet 6 times per semester for 5 hour periods. Video conferencing is used to connect students in Rochester, MN, with students in Minneapolis. Some driving for class is required, as students from Rochester will travel to Minneapolis one time per term and students from Minneapolis will travel to Rochester one time per term. If weather is inclement, video conferencing is used. Classes in Rochester meet at Bethel Lutheran Church at 810 3rd Ave SE, Rochester, MN. Practica are additional to courses. Students enroll in practica concurrently with enrollment in courses.

Drawing on a transcultural nursing foundation, the DNP-TCN curriculum embraces integrative healthcare and holistic nursing practice. Emphasis is placed on maximizing health within populations and communities through peaceful, just and collaborative actions across care settings and cultures, focusing on eliminating health inequities locally and globally. As a post-master’s program, the DNP-TCN track of study builds upon the strengths of the Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN) program and prepares nurses for advanced leadership and practice roles in Transcultural Nursing (TCN) and Holistic Nursing. Program Goals Graduates of the Doctor of Nursing Practice program are prepared to: • • • Negotiate the complexity of multicultural care settings and care systems to eliminate health inequities among populations and communities Challenge conventional knowledge about illness through an ecological approach to social determinants of health Lead change through building coalitions with marginalized people that are based on mutuality and common cause Program Structure The program is structured in a modified cohort model. One cohort a year will be admitted to begin in the fall term. Students can choose to take full or part-time study. Students taking full-time study take two didactic offerings, two seminars, and a practicum each semester. Students in full-time study can complete the post-master’s DNP-TCN curriculum in 20 months, including completion of the capstone project. Students selecting part-time study take one didactic offering, one seminar and a practicum each semester. As a part-time student, completion of the program is expected to take 32 months, including completion of the capstone project. The DNP curriculum is organized into 33 semester credits comprised of didactic classes, experiential practica, and seminars, with a capstone project completing the degree. As a practice doctorate, the emphasis is on building leadership and practice skills in knowledge application among diverse population groups. The goal is to improve health and decrease health inequities that lead to unnecessary morbidity and mortality in communities. Students graduating from the DNP-TCN track are eligible to apply to the Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing and certification in Holistic Nursing through the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation (AHNCC) (www.ahncc.org/). Didactic A total of six didactic courses (18 semester credits) constitute the DNP program. One course equals three semester credits. Courses are taught in an immersion model two days a month—eight hours of class time the first day and four hours the subsequent morning, followed by an afternoon seminar. Class attendance is expected and should be considered a key responsibility, not only to one’s self, but to one’s classmates and the course instructor. Classes are held on Augsburg’s campus in Minneapolis and in Rochester, MN, at Bethel Lutheran Church (810 3rd Ave SE) the location of Augsburg’s branch campus. Video conferencing is used for some of the classes, however, students must be prepared to drive to Rochester and/or Minneapolis for class at least once per semester. If weather is inclement, video conferencing is used. Practica Practica are organized to give flexibility and individual choice to students to support their increasing independence and depth of practice experience at the doctoral level. Students select practicum experiences that are either structured immersions in a variety of cultural contexts led by nursing faculty or that are student initiated and individually directed experiences mentored by nursing faculty. In a 15-week semester, practicum hours are computed as follows: 58 • • • 1 semester credit hour = 2 semester credit hours = 3 semester credit hours = 45 clock hours of practicum time per semester 90 clock hours of practicum time per semester 135 clock hours of practicum time per semester To earn the DNP, students must complete a total of 1,000 practicum hours in their Master’s and DNP programs. Students will be allowed to transfer up to 600 practicum hours from their master’s in nursing into the Augsburg DNP. As such, all students will register for at least nine semester credits of practica in the post-master’s DNP-TCN. Seminars Seminars focus on integration of conceptual learning with field practice, developing the student’s particular practice interests. Students are required to participate in a doctoral seminar every semester —fall and spring—until completion of the DNP degree. Cohorts of students who enter the DNP program together usually progress as a group in the seminars in which they enroll each term, depending on whether they are studying full-time or part-time. The final seminar (NUR 841) culminates in the capstone project presentation and completion of the requirements for the DNP degree. Final DNP Capstone Project Final DNP capstone projects must make a significant impact on nursing practice and health outcomes of populations and communities, demonstrate an evidence-based contribution to existing nursing knowledge, and be suitable for presentation or publication in a peer-reviewed venue. Through this scholarly project students demonstrate leadership in synthesizing and applying scientific knowledge to practice challenges in local and/or system wide contexts of care. Students should begin working on their DNP capstone projects in the early stages of the DNP program and continue throughout. This scholarly project is planned in collaboration with a major faculty advisor. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. Admission to the DNP Applicants to the Doctor of Nursing Practice program must have: • • • • • • An earned master’s degree in nursing from a regionally-accredited institution A GPA of 3.2 on a 4.0 grading scale in master’s in nursing program A current unencumbered RN license to practice in the US. Evidence of a completed graduate research course Evidence of up-to-date immunizations Satisfactory results of a certified federal criminal background check Decisions about admission to the program will be made on an individual basis. Selection of candidates will be made on the basis of an evaluation of the following items for each applicant: • • • • A three-page typed, double-spaced essay demonstrating ability to write in a thoughtful, coherent manner Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended (Applicants with a college or university degree completed outside of the United States must submit an official evaluation from World Educational Services.) Three professional references An interview with program faculty The number of applicants admitted to the DNP program will be limited and based on availability of faculty members who share a student’s practice interests and goals. Meeting the minimum admission criteria does not ensure that an applicant will be admitted to the program. Applicants who have graduated from a foreign nursing program, should submit their coursework for validation to the World Education Service (WES) and have the reports sent directly to Augsburg College. Additionally, internationallyeducated applicants may request the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) (www.cgfns.org/) to forward their educational credentials report to the Minnesota State Board of Nursing. Once their credentials are verified, applicants must apply for licensure and demonstrate successful passing of the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). 59 Nurses who have previously submitted CGFNS credential verification in a state other than Minnesota, who have passed the NCLEX, will be considered for admission and must meet the same residency requirements expected of all students. Applicants whose first language is not English must submit evidence of earning a minimum score of 95 out of a possible 120 (or 250 if previous version was taken) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

Linden Gawboy, Administrative Assistant 60 Doctor of Nursing Practice/Family Nurse Practitioner The post-BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) to DNP/FNP track of study prepares nurses for advanced nursing leadership and integrative primary care of families across cultures and care settings. Drawing on a transcultural nursing foundation, the DNP curriculum embraces integrative healthcare and holistic nursing practice. Emphasis is on eliminating health inequities through peaceful, just, and collaborative actions that uphold and improve human potential. The curriculum emphasizes knowledge, skills and values that foster one’s ability to lead change, while addressing health needs and concerns of families and communities. Nursing scholarship and advanced autonomous practice frame the critical exploration of knowledge in transcultural nursing, integrative healthcare practices, transformational leadership, and health assessment. Program Goals Graduates of the Doctor of Nursing Practice/Family Nurse Practitioner program are prepared to: • • • • Negotiate the complexity of multicultural care settings and care systems to eliminate health inequities among populations and communities. Challenge conventional knowledge about illness through an ecological approach to social determinants of health. Lead change through building coalitions with marginalized people that are based on mutuality and common cause. Provide primary care to persons, families and communities with particular consideration for those who are underserved and/or marginalized by dominant societal structures. Program Structure The program is structured to admit students beginning each fall semester. Students may take courses on a part-time or full-time basis during the completion of their Masters of Nursing or Doctor of Nursing Practice courses. Full-time study is required during the didactic and clinical courses in the FNP course sequence during the last two years of the program. Length of program: The Post-BSN to DNP/FNP track of study leads to eligibility for certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and requires a minimum of 84 semester credit hours, including 57 didactic credit hours and 23 practicum credit hours. Didactic A total of 19 didactic courses (57 semester credits) constitute the DNP/FNP program. Didactic classes, structured practica, and clinical experiences are taught in a variety of flexible schedules that are responsive to student needs. Master level classes (NUR 500 level courses) consist of six classes a semester - five hours of class time, in addition to taking a one credit practicum course associated with the didactic course. The DNP courses (NUR 800 level), are taught in an immersion model two days a month - eight hours of class time for the first day and four hours the subsequent morning, followed by an afternoon seminar. The FNP courses (final two years of study) are offered on Mondays approximately five times a semester, class time hours will vary from 8 to 12 hours. Web-based assignments are integrated into all classes through Moodle. Summer meeting schedules will be more condensed. Community practicum experiences may be scheduled during the class meeting days as well. Additionally, some courses may be taught in an immersion format, where students and faculty are “immersed” in a unique socio-cultural context and course content and a set number of practicum hours are condensed into seven to fourteen days. Class attendance is expected and should be considered a key responsibility, not only to one’s self, but to one’s classmates and the course instructor. Classes are held on Augsburg’s campus in Minneapolis and in Rochester, MN, at Bethel Lutheran Church (810 3rd Ave SE) the location of Augsburg’s branch campus or at Hermitage Farm Center for Healing, 6415 West River Road NW, Rochester, MN. Video conferencing is used for some of the classes, however, students must be prepared to drive to Rochester and/or Minneapolis for class at least once per semester. If weather is inclement, video conferencing is used. 61 Practica Practica are organized to give flexibility and individual choice to students to support their increasing independence and depth of practice experience at the doctoral level. Students select practicum experiences that are either structured immersions in a variety of cultural contexts led by nursing faculty or that are student initiated and individually directed experiences mentored by nursing faculty. FNP clinical sites will be arranged by clinical faculty. In a 15-week semester, practicum hours are computed as follows: • • • 1 semester credit hour = 2 semester credit hours = 3 semester credit hours = 45 clock hours of practicum time per semester 90 clock hours of practicum time per semester 135 clock hours of practicum time per semester To earn the DNP/FNP, students must complete a total of 1,035 practicum hours. Students will be allowed to transfer up to 400 practicum hours from their master’s in nursing. To complete the DNP/FNP, students must complete 630 practica hours (530 hours of primary care of the adult and 100 hours of primary care of children and women’s health). As such, all students will register for at least 23 semester credits of practica. Seminars Seminars focus on integration of conceptual learning with field practice developing the student’s particular practice interest. Students are required to participate in a total of four one-semester-credit doctoral seminars during the DNP/FNP program. The final seminar culminates in the project presentation and completion of the requirements for the DNP degree. Final DNP/FNP Capstone Project Final DNP/FNP capstone projects must make a significant impact on nursing practice and health outcomes of populations and communities, demonstrate an evidence-based contribution to existing nursing knowledge, and be suitable for presentation or publication in a peer-reviewed venue. Through this scholarly project students demonstrate leadership in synthesizing and applying scientific knowledge to practice challenges in local and/or system wide contexts of care. Students should begin working on their DNP/FNP capstone projects in the early stages of the program and continue throughout. This scholarly project is planned in collaboration with a major faculty advisor. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.

The Augsburg MBA offers students the flexibility of completing a general MBA or a specialized MBA with a concentration that matches their interests and career goals. Plan of Study The Augsburg MBA is an accelerated, evening program that allows working professionals to complete an MBA degree in approximately 24 months. This is accomplished by using a cohort model in which students follow a predetermined schedule with classes meeting one night a week. Students in a cohort program model stay together as a group through the sequence of classes for the duration of the program. This provides a continuous, collaborative learning process. The cohort environment fosters a cohesive learning community where students learn from each another, mentor each other, and peer coach. You’ll share diverse professional expertise and experience as you work in teams on projects, case studies, presentations, and simulations, 65 both inside and outside of class. Working both individually and in small groups enables you to enhance your strengths, build your skills, expand your business acumen, and improve your decision-making. Together as a community you’ll build personal, social, and academic abilities. Adult learners bring a wealth of work and personal life experiences with them into the classroom, multiplying the opportunities for learning. The personal connections and relationships you build with fellow students and faculty will extend into an important and valuable network as you take your career to new levels. Program Requirements The Augsburg MBA requires 39 semester credits for degree completion, consisting of 11 required courses and two elective courses. All Augsburg MBA courses are three semester credits. Each course consists of 28-32 hours of in-class instruction and 5 ½ - 9 ½ hours of online instruction through our web-based electronic course management system. Up to nine credits may be waived through prior business coursework (with director/faculty approval) or certain professional credentials (with appropriate documentation). Courses that can be waived with equivalencies: • • • • • MBA 510 (3 semester credits) MBA 520 (3 semester credits) MBA 530 (3 semester credits) MBA 550 (3 semester credits) MBA 565 (3 semester credits) Professional Credentials Students who have passed the Certified Public Accountants (CPA) or Certified Management Accountants (CMA) exam may be waived from MBA 520, Accounting for Managers. Prior Academic Coursework Guideline • • • • • Students with prior academic coursework that meets the following criteria may be waived from eligible core courses. Completion of at least two undergraduate courses covering corresponding Augsburg MBA core course material (See department for Equivalency details). The most recent of the undergraduate courses was taken within the past five years and a second course within seven years. A grade of B (or 3.0 on 4 point scale) or higher was earned in any course considered for a course waiver. Course(s) must be taken at an approved, regionally-accredited institution. Acceptance of core course waivers implies the student accepts the responsibility for having the essential knowledge and understanding of the core course material, and is properly prepared for any future core or elective course for which the waived course was a prerequisite. Academic credit is not awarded for any waived course, nor will the course appear on academic transcripts. Specialized Plan of Study The Augsburg MBA offers students the flexibility of completing a general MBA or a specialized MBA with a concentration that matches their interests and career goals. An Augsburg MBA with a concentration consists of 11 required MBA courses and 3 additional courses that focus on a specific area of interest. Academic Calendar The Augsburg MBA is designed as a year-round program. Courses are offered during fall, spring, and summer semesters. Courses are offered consecutively during each term so students are able to concentrate on one subject at a time. The program is designed to have students take at least two courses per term. Official academic calendars and the MBA registration policies can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. The unique cohort model of the Augsburg MBA requires individual schedules for each cohort. These schedules are provided by the MBA department. 66 The Faculty-Led International Experience Each year, all current MBA students are offered the opportunity to participate in a faculty-led international experience. This trip is taken in conjunction with either of these courses: MBA 565 - Managing in a Global Environment or MBA 595 Strategic Management. Students will travel as a group to an international location, visit businesses, participate in faculty lectures, and learn about the culture and traditions of the countries visited. Each MBA student should have two opportunities during their matriculation in the program to participate. Costs can vary; but as a minimum, trips normally include tuition (for the course selected), airfare, lodging, and travel in-country, as well as some meals.

The program has been designed to serve those students who aspire at some point in their lives to be social entrepreneurs, executives in social-purpose organizations, philanthropists, board members, or leading volunteers in their communities and the social sector. The certificate program will also appeal to students interested in incorporating strategies for social impact into their business and entrepreneurial careers. Students wishing to earn a Graduate Certificate in Social Entrepreneurship will complete five graduate-level courses. Courses include some that focus on the use of business/entrepreneurial skills for social impact in different contexts; others that focus on skills and knowledge from the MBA, Masters in Social Work or Master of Arts in Leadership that are particularly relevant for the effective pursuit of social impact; others that focus on field or industry-specific knowledge; and others that provide opportunities for students to gain practical experience in the social sector. Three Social Entrepreneurship Courses (required): MBA 583 – Social Entrepreneurship I: Execution, Planning and Strategy for Social Innovation-based Ventures MBA 584 - Social Entrepreneurship II: Advanced Topics and Practice in Social Entrepreneurship, or MBA 580 - The Field Study or MBA 581, 582 - Management Consulting Project I, II MBA 599 - Special Topics: Non-Profit Finance, Funding and Enterprise Two Electives from the following courses: MBA 592 – Leadership: Ethics, Vision and Transformation MBA 545 – Organizational Behavior MBA 550 – Marketing Management MBA 595 – Strategic Management (or other director approved courses) MSW/MBA Dual Degree Many social service agencies today require that agency managers combine financial and business expertise with social work practice and policy formation. The MSW/MBA degree enables graduates to function in a workplace that demands the delivery of quality services with increasingly limited resources. The MSW/MBA dual degree option is available to MSW students who elect the Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) concentration. MSW/MBA students will spend their first two years taking Master of Social Work courses followed by approximately 15 months of MBA courses. For more information regarding the Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) coursework required for the MSW/MBA dual degree, refer to the Master of Social Work section in this catalog. MSW students who graduated after June 2002 are required to complete the following eight MBA courses: MBA 510 - Applied Managerial Economics MBA 520 - Accounting for Business Managers MBA 530 - Managerial Finance MBA 545 - Organizational Behavior MBA 550 - Marketing Management MBA 560 - Communication Issues in Management MBA 575 - Strategic Technology MBA 595 - Strategic Management 68 MSW students who graduated prior to 2002 are required to complete nine MBA courses. This includes the eight MBA courses listed above as well as MBA 592 - Leadership: Ethics, Service, and Transformation. MSW students may also be required to adjust their summative evaluation project to meet the requirements of the MSW and MBA programs. Students interested in the MSW/MBA program must apply to both programs. See the application guidelines listed under each individual program. NOTE: Admission to one program does not guarantee admission to the other. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.

This option consists of two parts; an analysis of the applicants quantitative skills and a writing assessment. Both portions of the assessment are taken online, and the quantitative skills evaluation also offers the student interactive remedial instruction. The ILP is normally completed as part of the application process, prior to admittance. GMAT Waiver Policy As a general policy, the Augsburg MBA program requires the GMAT of all applicants, due to both the analytical and critical evaluation components of our accelerated program. The GMAT is used both to evaluate the candidate’s opportunity for success as well as to indicate areas where remedial work may be necessary. However, the Admissions Committee will consider, on a case-by-case basis, GMAT waiver requests for the MBA program. Waivers are not automatic for any candidate, and a brief written request must be submitted outlining the reasons why the Admissions Committee should grant a GMAT waiver. Current occupation or undergraduate disciplines are not specific grounds for a GMAT waiver. Eligibility for GMAT Waivers GMAT waivers may be offered to: • • • • • • • • • Candidates with an appropriate and current GRE score. Candidates who have been enrolled in a graduate degree program in a technical or quantitatively rigorous discipline (such as actuarial science, engineering, mathematics, physics, economics, or chemistry) from an accredited institution and who were in good academic standing with an overall grade point average of 3.0 or better (or the equivalent of a B average under the system used by that institution). Students should have completed at least four academic courses within this curriculum to qualify. It is important to note that employment history and current assignment will be reviewed in addition to the degree requirement. Candidates who hold the following graduate degrees from an accredited college or university with an overall grade point average of 3.0 or better (or the equivalent of a B average under the system used by that institution.) Medical or dental degree (MD, DDS) Master’s or doctoral degree in an academic discipline that included a significant quantitative, engineering, mathematics, or statistics component or involved research requiring significant quantitative skills. Any other quantitatively-based graduate degree from an accredited college or university that the Admissions Committee believes has highly prepared the candidate for rigorous graduate-level work Master’s, PhD, EdD, or advanced degrees in disciplines other than those identified, including those granted by academic institutions outside the US. These will be evaluated by the Admissions Committee. (See grade requirement above) Candidates who have completed a graduate program at Augsburg College in the MAL, MAN, MSW, MAE, or PA programs. Candidates with current and active CPA designation. If the CPA designation has been inactive and not current for a period greater than five years, the waiver may not be granted. GMAT Waiver Checklist Submit the following documentation to the associate director of the MBA program:  One-page written request outlining reasons why the Admissions Committee should grant a GMAT waiver  Copies of transcripts for all work completed at any college or university, whether or not a degree was granted (unless previously submitted to the Office of Admissions)  Current résumé (unless previously submitted to the Office of Admissions)  Any other information that you wish to submit to support your request. 70 Typically, GMAT waiver decisions are made within one week of receipt of materials. For questions about this checklist or the waiver policy, contact either the Office of Admissions or the MBA program office. Academic Policies MBA Program Enrollment Policy Students are strongly encouraged to remain in their cohort and complete their MBA program as scheduled. Adjustments or modifications to the MBA schedule require the approval of the MBA program director. All students are required to complete all components of the program within five years of matriculation. Extensions beyond five years will be considered on the basis of petition to the MBA director. Students who leave the program for more than one semester must request a leave of absence in writing from the MBA program. A leave of absence may be granted for one calendar year. Students who return to the program after a leave of one year or more must fill out an Application for Readmission form and submit it to the MBA office. Time spent on an official MBA-approved leave of absence will not count toward the five-year deadline for degree completion. Academic Evaluation Evaluation of academic performance in the MBA program will be based on number grades using a 4.0-scale. For complete information, see Academic Programs and Policies. Withdrawal from Class For information regarding the last date on which students may withdraw from a class and receive a “W” on their records, refer to the academic calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar/. Attendance Policies Student attendance at scheduled class meetings is a priority and required. However, MBA faculty understand that MBA students are working adults with significant responsibilities who, on occasion, face unforeseen situations that may interfere with attendance. Students should notify the faculty member teaching the course as soon as possible when the problem is immediate. When the student knows in advance of a class date where a potential conflict exists, they must discuss the proposed missed class with the faculty member prior to the date of the class. Students are responsible for the work covered during that class session and for making appropriate arrangements for obtaining handouts, lecture content, or other materials. Faculty members may assign appropriate independent work to insure that the student understands the material covered during the class session. If appropriate and acceptable coordination is carried out by the student, there need not be any grade reduction for a single missed class session. This may be dependent on assignments due on the date of the missed class; e.g., final project presentations or team presentations. Point/grade reductions for unexcused absences are the prerogative of the faculty. Two missed class sessions, unexcused or excused, may be grounds for directing the student to withdraw from the course. More than two absences, excused or unexcused, require that a student withdraw from the class. Degree Requirements To be conferred the MBA degree, students must achieve the following: • • • • Successful completion of all admission conditions Successful completion of MBA courses (2.5 or above) No more than two courses with a grade of 2.5 or below, and with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher at the completion of the program Successful completion and submission of the management consulting project (capstone) Students who successfully complete Augsburg’s MBA program will receive a Master of Business Administration degree.

Program Overview Summer Residencies The Augsburg Low-Residency MFA includes 10-day summer residencies on the Augsburg campus in Minneapolis, offering daily workshops, readings, and mini-courses that focus on literary craft as well as career skills in teaching, editing, publishing, book arts, marketing, translation, and adaptation. The full degree program includes three summer residencies, featuring visits by distinguished writers in each genre as well as editors, agents, publishers, and literary entrepreneurs. Fall and Spring Semesters The first two residencies are followed each year by fall and spring off-campus semesters. During those terms, students work with faculty mentors in virtual classrooms that make use of online and other technologies. Each semester, MFA candidates enroll in one Mentorship section and one section of Critical and Creative Reading. Although MFA learning objectives call for demonstrated expertise in at least one genre by graduation, twenty-first century writers compose their work in an environment in which genre has permeable boundaries and lines between genres are often erased. With this in mind, cross-genre work will be encouraged, with students working in a genre other than the declared specialty, usually during the second off-campus semester. Semester Mentorships The Mentorship is a one-on-one experience with a faculty mentor who guides the student’s production of work and study of craft. This one-on-one creative studio experience is focused on the MFA candidate’s own writing and growth as a writer. Critical and Creative Reading in an Online Classroom This is a reading-as-writers course that provides an opportunity to work with your professor and a community of peers, considering craft, criticism and aesthetics. Meetings are online in the electronic classroom. The format may include online discussion boards, Skype or video chats, and teleconferences with mentors and fellow learners. The online classroom offers an opportunity to continue conversations begun during the residency with members of the MFA community. Students may repeat mentorship courses (ENL 511, 513, 521, and 523) and critical and creative readings courses (ENL 512, 514, 522, and 524), subject to the permission of the program director. Genres and Concentrations Genres include Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, Poetry, Screenwriting and Playwriting. The program also includes concentrations in teaching, translation, and publishing. Concentrations require additional coursework. With the program director’s consent, students may enroll in concentration courses simultaneously with MFA studies. Candidates enrolled in the publishing concentration will be the staff of a new publishing house, Howling Bird Press, that will select and publish one book each year. The book prize is open to submissions nationally. Plan of Study Students may select a completion plan for the MFA: The Traditional MFA in Creative Writing, in which the student chooses one genre as the designated field of study but is encouraged to work outside the designated field of study for one term. 73 The Mixed Genre Option, in which the student selects a primary genre and works in that genre for at least three mentored and reading terms. The student also competes two mentored and reading terms outside the designated field of study. The Career Concentration Option, in which the student also enrolls in electives in teaching, translation and/or publishing. This plan may be added to both the Traditional and Mixed Genre options. Accommodating Writers Who Work Full-Time and Those Who Live Outside of Minnesota Augsburg’s Traditional MFA in Creative Writing can be completed in eleven courses (three summer residencies and four off-campus electronic semesters of two courses each). A typical plan of study in the Traditional Low-Residency MFA will work like this: First Year Summer Residency I, including genre workshops, writing seminars, readings and lectures, ten days on the Minneapolis campus, with assignments before and after residency. Fall Semester I, electronic classroom including one Mentorship studio and one Creative and Critical Reading course. Spring Semester I, electronic classroom including one Mentorship studio and one Creative and Critical Reading course (generally “out-of-genre” term). Second Year Summer Residency II, including genre workshops, writing seminars, readings and lectures, ten days on the Minneapolis campus, with assignments before and after residency. Fall Semester II, electronic classroom including one Mentorship studio and one Creative and Critical Reading (craftbased academic paper term). Spring Semester II, electronic classroom including one Mentorship studio (thesis completion term) and one Creative and Critical Reading (lecture/presentation preparation term). Third Year – Residency Only Summer Residency III, including genre workshop, writing seminars, readings and lectures. Final term for graduating MFA candidates. Graduates give a public lecture/presentation and a reading from thesis work. Ten days on the Minneapolis campus, with assignments before and after residency.

Admission to MFA Admission Requirements Qualified applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited college or university with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher for all undergraduate coursework. Students with a GPA of 2.5-3.0 may be admitted conditionally into the program based on the strength of their writing samples. Applications Must Include • • • • • Completed online application $50 application/reading fee for each genre Two letters of recommendation A personal essay A writing sample: o Fiction or Creative Non-Fiction, 20 pages, double-spaced o Poetry, 15-20 pages, single-spaced o Screenwriting or Playwriting, up to 30 pages in script format Admission as an International Student International applicants must submit the required application materials listed above. Refer to the additional requirements outlined in Admission of International Students in the Graduate Admissions section. Academic Policies Credit All Augsburg MFA courses carry four semester credits. To earn the MFA, candidates must complete 44 semester credits, write a critical/creative paper, deliver a public lecture/presentation, give a public reading/staging, and complete a book length manuscript of publishable quality (fiction, nonfiction and poetry), a screenplay/calling card script (screenwriting), or a full-length play of producible quality (playwriting). To include a concentration in Teaching or in Translation/Adaptation in the MFA, students must complete 12 courses or 48 credits. For the MFA with a concentration in Publishing, students must complete 13 courses or 52 credits. Transfer Augsburg’s low-residency MFA includes in-person and online elements that help us maintain a strong community and create a culture in which our writers thrive. This studio degree is the terminal degree in writing and because of the unique features of a terminal, low-residency, studio degree, the final decision on transfer credit will depend on review by the Augsburg College MFA Program. A maximum of eight semester credits from traditional residency MFA programs and from MA programs in creative writing or English literature may be accepted. The MFA Program Director will review and may offer up to four additional credits in transfer for equivalent residency or workshop experience completed in another program. The maximum transfer credits allowed is 12 credits. Academic Evaluation Grading The MFA Program uses fine arts studio grading practices, formative in nature and designed to be an element of the teaching curriculum. A narrative transcript composed of comments on those elements that the particular student writer is working on during a particular term will be used to assess progress in the mentorship courses. These are formative and qualitative assessment elements and professors’ responses will vary as professor/artists and student/artists approach student work with the student’s individual artistic aims in mind. In addition to the fine arts formative and qualitative assessment, students will be assessed in light of their success in meeting learning objectives of the course while completing work assigned. 75 MFA in Creative Writing Courses are graded on a Pass/No Credit basis, using the Augsburg graduate grading model scale as described below: P – Represents work at 3.0 or higher and meets acceptable standards. N – No credit, not counted in grade point average. Alignment of Course Outcomes MFA courses are aligned with the Program Hallmarks of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP), the national professional organization for writing programs and the writers who teach in those programs. Participation Students are expected to fully participate in Summer Residencies, attending workshop sessions and scheduled meetings with mentors as well as a majority of readings, lectures and other scheduled sessions. Participation in off-campus coursework is expected to occur during the designated time for each Mentorship studio critique session and “time away” for creative work. Students are also expected to take part in synchronous and asynchronous sessions with mentors and demonstrate “presence” in the Creative and Critical Reading courses through regularly scheduled exchanges with faculty and peers. Academic Honesty Augsburg’s high expectations for academic honesty will be applied to this class. Please refer to the Student Guide at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/academic-honest-policies/ if you have any questions.

Students are well educated in current medical theory and practice, and graduates are encouraged to work in primary care settings. The program promotes dedication to excellence in performance, with the highest standards of ethics and integrity, and commitment to lifelong personal and professional development. Accreditation The Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) has granted Continued Accreditation to the Physician Assistant Program sponsored by Augsburg College. Continued accreditation is an accreditation status granted when a currently accredited program is in compliance with the ARC-PA Standards. Continued Accreditation remains in effect until the program closes or withdraws from the accreditation process or until accreditation is withdrawn for failure to comply with the Standards. The approximate date for the next comprehensive review of the program by ARC-PA will be September 2018. About PA A physician assistant (PA) is a dependent practitioner of medicine who practices under the supervision of a licensed physician. The PA can practice in a multitude of settings and specialties of medicine. Common job responsibilities including taking patient histories, performing physical exams, ordering and interpreting laboratory tests and radiological studies, formulating diagnoses, and administering treatment. In the state of Minnesota, a PA is licensed with the Board of Medical Practice. In Minnesota, and most other states, the PA must be NCCPA (National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants) certified and hold a supervisory agreement with a licensed physician. Minnesota registered PAs have prescriptive privileges under delegatory supervision with their physician for prescriptive medications. Curriculum The Physician Assistant program at Augsburg is 31 months long with studies beginning each year in the summer semester (early June). The program accepts up to 30 students for each new class. Graduates will receive a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies and a PA certificate. The Augsburg PA program includes traditional college “breaks” such as winter holiday break, spring breaks, and summer breaks. Length of breaks varies depending upon the student’s year in the program; these breaks contribute to the overall 31 month length of the program. Studies begin in early June of each year. The first 18 months of study is didactic, or classroom work, including courses in human gross anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical medicine, pharmacotherapy, history and physical exam skills, research, and professional issues. The clinical phase is 13 months in length. The clinical phase of the program is designed to effectively train students for practice by providing them with rotation experiences in different specialties and different practice settings. To that end, each student will be required to complete rotations outside the metropolitan area. Each student is required to successfully complete clinical rotations in family medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, psychiatry, emergency medicine, internal medicine, surgery, and two elective rotations by choosing from various specialties. The clinical phase will culminate with a preceptorship in primary care, medical subspecialty or surgical subspecialty. This preceptorship is designed to solidify the student’s primary care skills, and potentially place them in a setting that might be interested in recruiting a graduate PA. The majority of established clinical rotation sites are in Minnesota in both rural and urban locations. 81 The clinical curriculum is taught by physicians, and supplemented by physician assistants and other health care providers. Each student is evaluated by the clinical instructor for the designated rotation. Students will return to Augsburg College five times during the clinical phase for evaluation and education.

PA Studies Application Process The Augsburg Physician Assistant Studies program has a two-step application process—applying through CASPA and to Augsburg’s PA Studies Program. 83 The Augsburg PA Program participates in the Centralized Application Service for Physician Assistants (CASPA) which is sponsored by the Physician Assistant Education Association (PAEA). All applications to the PA Program for the entering class must be processed through CASPA, following all guidelines and regulations set forth by CASPA. Application forms with detailed instructions can be obtained online at portal.caspaonline.org/. You will be considered an eligible applicant if you have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 at the time of application (as calculated by CASPA), if you have a minimum science GPA of 3.0 at the time of application (as calculated by CASPA), if you have completed or will complete your undergraduate degree prior to the start date of the program, and if you have completed or will complete your prerequisite courses within the timeline specified for your degree status. Additional Application Details: • • • The Augsburg PA Program requires three letters of recommendation submitted through the CASPA process. One letter must be from an employer/colleague (a professional reference), one letter must be from a professor or advisor (an academic reference), and one can be from a person of your choice. Be sure that your letter writers are able to tell the committee about you as well as his/her experiences with you and observations about you. Your Supplemental Application must be received in the PA Program office on or before the deadline in order to be considered. We use the CASPA “Complete Date” to determine if you have met the application deadline. The “Complete Date” on your application must be the deadline or prior in order to be considered meeting the deadline. CASPA assigns a “Complete Date’ when they have received your electronic application, transcripts from all schools attended, 2 of your 3 letters of reference, and payment. Until those criteria are met, your application will not be given a “Complete Date.” Augsburg’s PA Program Supplemental Application can be downloaded from our website at www.augsburg.edu/pa. It is important for the applicant to determine whether he or she is in fact eligible to apply to the PA Studies Program, as the supplemental application fee is non-refundable. You will be required to print and sign the supplemental application and mail it to the program by the application deadline. Selection Process All complete files (CASPA and Supplemental Applications that meet requirements) will be reviewed by the admissions committee. The admissions committee procedures utilize a blinded review, so applicant demographic data is unknown (e.g., race, age, gender). Each file is reviewed by members of the committee. The selection committee looks for a balanced application by reviewing many criteria including key criteria of cumulative GPA, science GPA, and direct patient care experience, along with overall academic record, service to underserved (meaning disadvantaged, minority, or under-represented populations), knowledge of the profession, fit with the program goals and mission, and recommendation letters. Once the committee has completed the file review, a group of candidates is selected for a telephone interview. The telephone interviews are generally conducted between November and January. Those selected for a telephone interview are invited to a Candidate Information Session in the program to meet faculty, staff, current students, and to view the facilities. As telephone interviews are completed, seats in the incoming class are offered. The class of 30 students will be filled between the months of October and January. A list of alternates will be selected in January to fill seats that accepted candidates may not claim. All applicants are notified of their final status by mid-February. Accepted applicants must complete and pass a background check prior to matriculation and annually throughout the program. Failure of the background check could result in dismissal from the program. Academic Policies Please see the PA program website at www.augsburg.edu/pa for further details about policies outlined here. Technical Standards The Augsburg College Department of Physician Assistant Studies is pledged to the admission and matriculation of qualified students and wishes to acknowledge awareness of laws which prohibit discrimination against anyone on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age or disability. 84 Regarding disabled individuals, the PA department will not discriminate against such individuals who are otherwise qualified but will expect all applicants and students to meet certain minimal technical standards. The physician assistant must have the knowledge and skills to function in a broad variety of clinical situation and to render a wide spectrum of patient care. They must be able to integrate all information received by whatever sense(s) employed, consistently, quickly, and accurately, and they must have the intellectual ability to learn, integrate, analyze, and synthesize data. Candidates for physician assistant certification offered by this department must have, with or without reasonable accommodation, multiple abilities and skills including: visual, oral-auditory, motor, cognitive, and behavioral/social. Candidates for admission and progression must be able to perform these abilities and skills in a reasonably independent manner. • • • • • Visual o Candidates must be able to observe and participate in experiments in the basic sciences. In order to make proper clinical decisions, candidates must be able to observe a patient accurately. Candidates must be able to acquire information from written documents, films, slides or videos. Candidates must also be able to interpret Xray and other graphic images, and digital or analog representations of physiologic phenomena, such as EKG’s with or without the use of assistive devices. Thus, functional use of vision is necessary. Oral-Auditory o Candidates must be able to communicate effectively and sensitively with patients. Candidates must also be able to communicate effectively and efficiently with other members of the health care team. In emergency situations, candidates must be able to understand and convey information essential for the safe and effective care of patients in a clear, unambiguous and rapid fashion. In addition, candidates must have the ability to relate information to and receive information from patients in a caring and confidential manner. Thus, functional use of hearing and speech is necessary. Motor o Candidates must possess the motor skills necessary to perform palpation, percussion, auscultation, and other diagnostic maneuvers. Candidates must be able to execute motor movements reasonably required to provide general and emergency medical care such as airway management, placement of intravenous catheters, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and application of pressure to control bleeding. These skills require coordination of both gross and fine muscular movements, equilibrium and integrated use of the senses. Cognitive o In order to effectively solve clinical problems, candidates must be able to measure, evaluate, reason, analyze, integrate and synthesize in a timely fashion. In addition, they must be able to comprehend three dimensional relationships and to understand the special relationships of structures. Social o Candidates must possess the emotional health required for the full utilization of their intellectual abilities, for the exercise of good judgment, for the prompt completion of all responsibilities attendant to the diagnosis and care of patients, and for the development of effective relationships with patients. Candidates must be able to tolerate physically taxing workloads and function effectively under stress. They must be able to adapt to changing environments, display flexibility and learn to function in the face of uncertainties inherent in the clinical problems of patients. Experiential Learning Policy The Augsburg Physician Assistant Program does not award academic credit to an individual for experiential learning. Applicants desiring admission to Augsburg’s PA Program must satisfactorily complete all prerequisite courses. Experiential learning will be considered separately from prerequisite courses. Experiential learning prior to and during admittance to the Augsburg PA Program will not substitute for any part of the clinical year or preceptorship. Employment while in the Program Program faculty discourage outside employment while in the Physician Assistant Program. Faculty recognize that employment may be an issue that some students will face. Given this recognition, realize that program obligations will 85 not be altered due to a student’s work obligations. It is further expected that work obligations will not interfere with the physician assistant students’ learning progress or responsibilities while in the program. Withdrawal and Readmission Policies Voluntary withdrawal from the Physician Assistant Program may be initiated by a student after submission of a letter to the program director requesting withdrawal. In the letter, the student should outline the circumstances and reasons for withdrawal. Students will be requested to conduct an exit interview with the program director prior to leaving the program. For information on withdrawal, see the Academic Policies section. Readmission Students may request readmission after voluntary withdrawal by submitting a letter to the program director stating the reasons the student wishes readmission and the anticipated date for readmission. The submission of a letter and previous enrollment does not constitute automatic acceptance and/or reentry into the program. Reapplication to the PA Program after dismissal from the program will be considered only under extremely unusual circumstances. For the full readmission policy and reapplication process, please contact the program. Advanced Placement The Department of PA Studies does not offer advanced placement to admitted students. All students admitted to the PA Program must complete the entire curriculum. Transfer The Department of PA studies does not accept student transfers from other PA programs.

The social work profession offers you the rewarding prospect of joining with others to respond to problems and develop opportunities that benefit individuals, families, groups, and communities. The MSW degree prepares you for advanced professional practice in the field of social work. Augsburg’s MSW program prepares you for agency-based practice with individuals, families, groups, and communities, and with a dedication to system change that reduces oppression and discrimination. Graduates of our program share how they appreciated the opportunity to learn new ideas as well as learn more about themselves. These graduates valued our small class size, our cohort structure, and the opportunity to have a mentoring relationship with our faculty and staff. As a small program, we have high expectations for our students and at the same time offer the flexibility to help them meet their individual goals. Attending Augsburg College will transform and develop your professional life in unexpected ways. We have two concentrations. The first, Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP), will prepare you for direct clinical practice with individuals, families, and groups. The second, Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP), will prepare you for macro social work practice with organizations, communities, and other large systems. We are delighted in your interest in our MSW program and invite you to join us in a lifelong adventure in learning. The personal and professional growth necessary to become an advanced professional social worker is challenging. We encourage you to take the challenge with us. Lois A. Bosch, PhD, LISW Director, Master of Social Work MSW Mission Our mission is to develop social work professionals for advanced practice that promotes social justice and empowerment towards the well-being of people in a diverse and global society. Program Overview The MSW program prepares social work students for agency-based practice in public and nonprofit settings. By working in the agency setting, social workers collaborate with others to provide holistic, affordable, and accessible services to individuals, families, groups, and communities. Our challenging MSW curriculum integrates social work theory with micro and macro practice methods. Students develop skills, knowledge, and values necessary for ethical social work practice. As you progress through our MSW program, you will: • • • • • • • • Learn how individuals live in and are affected by their social environment Understand how social policies and programs affect individuals, families, communities, and society Apply theories and methods of practice through the field practicum experience Use a range of client-centered approaches to practice with client groups of all types and sizes Engage in practice informed by sound, scholarly research Evaluate the effectiveness of your social work practice or social work programs Advocate for the eradication of oppression and discrimination Be a responsible and contributing citizen in the local and global community Accreditation Augsburg’s MSW program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). Your MSW degree must be accredited by CSWE if you seek licensure with the social work board of your state. For more information on CSWE accreditation go to www.cswe.org. Augsburg College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the About Augsburg College section of this catalog. 87 Plan of Study Students entering Augsburg’s MSW program with a bachelor’s degree from a discipline other than social work are classified as foundation students. Full-time foundation students are enrolled in a two year program. Part-time foundation students are enrolled in a four year program. Students entering Augsburg’s MSW program with a bachelor’s degree in social work from a CSWE (Council on Social Work Education) accredited institution are classified as advanced standing students. Advanced standing students are enrolled in a 16 month program. The part-time option is not generally available for advanced standing students. All students must complete the MSW degree in no more than 4 years following matriculation. Academic Calendar The MSW program meets on a semester calendar, with classes offered September through June. Classes typically meet every other weekend with an occasional back-to-back weekend. Field practicum hours are generally completed during weekday hours. If a student lives outside the Twin Cities metro, the field practicum hours can be completed at a placement near the student’s place of residence. Hours per week vary depending on the agency placement and the student’s availability. For academic calendars and schedules, go to www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Class Periods Classes meet in 3.5 hour blocks on Friday evenings, 6 to 9:30 pm; Saturday mornings, 8:30 am to 12 pm; and Saturday afternoons, 1:15 to 4:45 pm. Each class meets for 8 sessions in a given semester and for 4 sessions in a summer term (May-June), with the expectation that students engage in hybrid learning activities between on-campus class weekends. Time Commitment Although classes meet on weekends, students spend time on their studies during non-class weekends and weekdays in accordance with our hybrid learning format. Hybrid learning is a combination of face-to-face class sessions and online/experiential learning. On a class weekend, the typical student will spend 12 hours in class within a 23-hour period. For every hour spent in class, a student may expect to spend 3 to 4 hours outside of class working on online activities, assignments, readings, or group projects. A student may also spend 15 to 20 hours per week in the field practicum during the fall and spring semesters (a span of 8 to 9 months for each practicum). In the final year of study, students complete a summative evaluation or a portfolio, which requires significant independent research, analysis, and writing. Some MSW students work full-time while enrolled in the program. However, full-time employment is not recommended. Most students arrange to reduce their work hours or request time away during their graduate studies. Each student’s situation is unique and must be decided individually. All students must develop strategies for balancing family, work, and academic responsibilities. Credit and Contact Hours MSW courses range from 2 to 4 semester credits. Depending on the number of credits, students will spend 16 to 32 hours in the classroom per course. Students will also be expected to engage in activities and independent study outside of class. Cohort Structure MSW students are admitted to a particular cohort. Cohorts are distinguished by level of admission (foundation or advanced standing), rate of attendance (full-time or part-time), and chosen concentration (Multicultural Clinical Practice [MCCP] or Multicultural Macro Practice [MCMP]). Any changes to a student’s cohort selection must be approved by the MSW director. Field Practicum Foundation students complete 920 hours in two field practica; advanced standing students complete 500 hours in one field practicum. Successful completion of the first field practicum, required for foundation students, is a minimum of 420 hours. Successful completion of the second field practicum, required for both foundation and advanced standing 88 students, is a minimum of 500 hours. Each practicum experience is spread over two semesters (fall and spring). These hours are completed concurrent with enrollment in the fieldwork seminars as well as other MSW courses. MSW Curriculum Components Foundation Curriculum In the foundation courses and field practicum, you are introduced to social work as a profession. You will learn both historical and contemporary theories and practice methods relating to both the individual and the environment. During the foundation year, you will study human behavior and the social environment, history of social welfare policy, research methods, assessment frameworks, family and community diversity, and social work values and ethics. In the foundation curriculum you will apply this generalist knowledge of theories and practice methods in the generalist field practicum. The field practicum is completed concurrently with your enrollment in two field seminar courses. The full foundation curriculum is required of all students, with the exception of those admitted with advanced standing. Before beginning the concentration curriculum, all foundation coursework and field hours must be successfully completed. Concentration Curriculum After completing the foundation requirements, you will enroll in the concentration curriculum that you selected at the time of application. You will also complete an advanced field practicum. Augsburg offers two concentrations: Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) or Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP). In either concentration, you will deepen your knowledge of the primary issues affecting families and communities, develop a range of client-centered approaches to practice, gain a broader understanding of human diversity, develop competencies in practice-based research, and learn practice or program evaluation techniques. In the concentration curriculum, you will apply this advanced knowledge of theories and practice methods in the concentration field practicum. The field practicum is relevant to your chosen concentration and is completed concurrently with your enrollment in two field seminar courses. As a capstone to your MSW program, you will complete a portfolio project or a summative evaluation project. Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) Concentration Multiculturalism is a process requiring practitioners to have a deep awareness of their social and cultural identities, as well as the ability to use multiple lenses when working with diverse populations. With person-in-environment as an organizing perspective, multicultural clinical social work practice addresses the biopsychosocial and spiritual functioning of individuals, families, and groups. To this end, graduates of the MCCP concentration develop competence in using relationship-based, culturally informed, and theoretically grounded interventions with persons facing challenges, disabilities, or impairments, including emotional, behavioral, and mental disorders. Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) Concentration In the tradition of Jane Addams, the heart of macro social work practice is directing energy toward changing agency, government, and institutional policies that obscure or oppress people. While many social workers view their role as focused on individuals and families, social workers must actively seek equality and justice for clients within agencies, institutions and society. Social work leaders must advocate for social change where necessary to ensure social justice. Similar to the MCCP concentration, it is important to address macro level social work practice within the context of cultural understanding and awareness. The Multicultural Macro Practice concentration (formerly Program Development, Policy and Administration) responds to this demand for leadership. The macro social work practitioner recognizes the strengths and abilities of individuals and communities to implement change. The social work macro practitioner works with these individuals to do so. In the MCMP concentration, you will learn the knowledge and skills necessary to work with others to achieve needed social change. You will also learn to develop, lead, guide, and administer programs that serve diverse people in a variety of settings. Portfolio or Summative Evaluation Project • Portfolio Project (MCCP students) 89 The goal of the MCCP Portfolio is to enhance the integration of theory and practice, as well as to offer more vivid portrayals of a student’s academic and professional experience than traditional assessments. By definition, portfolios are formative (i.e. designed for guided reflection and self-evaluation). However they are also summative documents in that they illustrate students’ competencies. All MCCP students are required to create a portfolio during their final year of study. Items in a portfolio might include videos, process recordings, reflective statements, writing samples, case analyses, term papers, electronic submissions, policy activities, feedback from service users, self-evaluations of personal progress, and links to references. Summative Evaluation Project (MCMP students) o All social workers must evaluate their practice to determine whether they are helping or harming clients. While in the concentration practicum, MCMP students will design and implement a program evaluation for their summative project. This project requires integration and application of knowledge and skills from both the foundation and concentration curricula. Students develop their research while in their field internship and are advised by their field seminar professor. Students conduct and present this evaluation/research project during their final year of study. o • Master’s Thesis Students in both concentrations have the option of completing a thesis in addition to either the portfolio or summative evaluation project. Credit for the SWK 699 general elective is given for this option. Students work with a thesis advisor to develop more in-depth research skills contributing to social work knowledge. To pursue the thesis option, students should notify the MSW program director by the end of spring semester of the foundation year. Degree requirements To be conferred the MSW degree, students must achieve the following: • • • • • • Successful completion of any admission conditions (see Admission to MSW) Successful completion of all required MSW courses No more than two courses with a grade of 2.5 and with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher Successful completion of 920 hours of approved field practica for foundation students or 500 hours of approved field practicum for advanced standing students Successful completion and submission of the portfolio project (MCCP) or the summative evaluation project (MCMP) Successful completion of all degree requirements within 4 years of matriculation. State of Minnesota Social Work Licensure Six months prior to completion of the MSW degree at Augsburg, students may apply to take the Licensed Graduate Social Worker (LGSW) license exam from the Minnesota Board of Social Work. To achieve LGSW licensure students must pass the state board exam and complete the MSW degree. To seek the Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) license or the Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) license, one must work two years full-time (or 4,000 hours part-time) as an LGSW under the supervision of an LISW or LICSW. Upon completion of the supervision requirement, one may take the LISW or LICSW state board exam. For more information, go to the Minnesota Board of Social Work web page, www.socialwork.state.mn.us.

The following are examples of elective offerings that rotate each year: • • • • • • Parent and Professional Planning Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Aging Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Social Work Clinical Practice Spirituality and Social Work Practice Empowerment of Services Users in Mental Health Children’s Mental Health We also offer short-term electives abroad, typically two weeks in length: Exploring Human Services in International Settings (examples include Mexico, Slovenia, Namibia, South Africa, India, Bolivia, China, and Hong Kong) Fieldwork and Field Placement Social work education goes beyond the classroom. Through the field experience, we expect that students will demonstrate skills to bridge theory and practice. Collaborative efforts between the student, the field agency, and the MSW program are essential to successful learning. The foundation of the practice includes: • • • • • • • Ethical, competent professional practice Problem solving within a systems framework and strengths perspective Use of advanced practice theories in Multicultural Clinical Practice or Multicultural Macro Practice settings Evaluation of the effectiveness of program or practice activities An understanding of and respect for diverse peoples and cultures Responsibility and service to the local and global community in the interest of social justice A commitment to oppose oppression of all forms Field Education Format Under the instruction and supervision of professionally-trained, MSW-level, and program-approved field instructors, foundation students will spend a minimum of 920 hours in two field practica. Advanced standing students will spend a minimum of 500 hours in one field practicum. Both the foundation and concentration practica are spread over 2 semesters (fall and spring). Both practica are concurrent with enrollment in integrative field seminars, as well as other MSW coursework. The fieldwork education of the MSW program is divided into two components: • • Foundation Practicum o The foundation practicum, or generalist practicum, puts emphasis on developing competence as a professional generalist social worker. It requires a minimum of 420 hours and is completed by students admitted at the foundation level. Students spend an average of 15 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters in this practicum. Concentration Practicum o The concentration practicum places emphasis on advanced practice skills and leadership qualities related to the chosen concentration. It requires a minimum of 500 hours and is completed by all students, including those admitted with advanced standing. Students spend an average of 18 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters in this practicum. Process for Field Practicum Selection Field practica begin in the fall, but the selection process begins the previous spring in collaboration with two other Twin Cities MSW programs. Students attend a field orientation before beginning their search. Augsburg College and the University of Minnesota - School of Social Work jointly host a field fair where students meet a large number of agencies and potential field instructors. Practicum selection involves interviews at approved sites, arranged by the student, and a matching process conducted collaboratively by the field coordinators at the three MSW programs in the Twin Cities. 92 In some instances, students can petition to complete a field practicum at an agency not on the approved list or at their place of employment. Students who wish to do so work with the MSW field coordinator for such proposals. Field Practicum Settings The Augsburg field faculty are committed to the success of each student in a stimulating and challenging field practicum. Our current list of approved clinical and community practice field sites includes agencies in the following areas of practice: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Family and children Child welfare Mental health Crisis intervention Senior resources Family social policy Health and human services Corrections and probation Public and independent schools Youth services Hospitals Developmental disabilities American Indian family services Chronic and persistent mental illness Chemical dependency Court services Immigrant, migrant, refugee services Victims of torture Faith-based social services Neighborhood services Legislation advocacy Housing services Employment services Community organizing Research centers Dual Degree in Social Work and Theology (MSW/MA, Theology) Augsburg College’s Department of Social Work (Minneapolis) and Luther Seminary (St. Paul) offer a dual degree: Master of Social Work and Master of Arts in Theology (MSW/MA). The dual degree has been approved by both institutions and by the Council on Social Work Education. If you are interested in combining a Master of Social Work with a Master of Arts in Theology, we recommend you begin the Luther Seminary program first and identify yourself as seeking the dual degree. For application information to Luther Seminary, visit their website at www.luthersem.edu/admissions/. Purpose The dual degree focuses on meeting the educational interests of people planning to serve the spiritual and social needs of families, individuals, and communities in both rural and urban settings. Both institutions have a commitment to social and economic justice and to teamwork in the pastoral and human service settings. This joint program is ecumenical in its admission policies as well as its academic outlook. Objectives Three primary objectives have been established: • To educate practitioners in social work and ministry who can combine the values, skills, and knowledge of both theology and social work to serve people in more holistic ways 93 • • To generate the partnerships necessary to serve the complex needs of communities and people experiencing transition in their lives, including the change of government support for those in poverty To prepare practitioners to seek the strengths of interdisciplinary teams in the human service and pastoral settings. Enrollment We recommend that dual degree students enroll in Luther Seminary courses first. Upon completion of this first year of courses, students then enroll in Augsburg courses for a second and third year (full-time). In the dual degree, Luther Seminary offers nine courses which can be completed in one year if pursued full-time. The remaining Luther Seminary course requirements are waived and replaced by the Augsburg MSW curriculum. At Augsburg, dual degree students complete the entire MSW curriculum with the exception of the SWK 699 general elective. Course Format and Field Practicum Luther Seminary courses are offered on a weekday schedule and Augsburg College courses are offered on a weekend schedule. The field practicum is incorporated into the Augsburg curriculum and will be in a setting reflective of the dual degree program, such as congregational multidisciplinary teams, nursing home chaplaincy, and social work teams. The Luther Seminary program and the Augsburg College program are both full-time; it is not feasible for students to do both programs simultaneously. Summary of MSW/MA Theology Dual Degree Requirements • • • • 9 courses at Luther Seminary All required MSW courses at Augsburg College MSW field practica credit hours (see guidelines under field practicum) MSW portfolio or summative evaluation project Admission to the Dual Degree It is the responsibility of dual degree students to be aware of application deadlines for both institutions. Applicants must apply to each program separately. Please note: admission to one institution does not guarantee admission to the other. To request the catalog and application materials, you must contact each program separately. Financial aid is also a separate process. Dual Degree in Social Work and Business Administration (MSW/MBA) Augsburg College offers a dual MSW/MBA degree in social work and business administration. Students enrolled in the dual degree program learn to create better managed and financially sound service organizations to serve diverse communities, both locally and globally. Purpose Many social service agencies today require that agency managers combine financial and business expertise with social work practice and policy formation. The MSW/MBA dual degree prepares graduates to function in a workplace that demands the delivery of quality services with increasingly limited resources. Concentration The MSW/MBA dual degree includes an accelerated third year of study for MSW students who elect the Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) concentration. In this concentration, students learn to effect positive change in social service systems through their work with communities, organizations, and social policy makers. Prior Augsburg MSW graduates who have completed the necessary Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) coursework are eligible to return to complete the MBA portion of the dual degree. Schedule Years 1 and 2 (September through June) MSW classes meet on alternating weekends—Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, and Saturday afternoons—and students engage in hybrid learning activities between class weekends. 94 Year 3 (12–16 months) MBA classes meet one night per week. The MBA program includes a summer term. See the MBA section for required courses for the dual degree. Curriculum • • • • • Foundation or advanced standing coursework Either 920 hours (foundation) or 500 hours (advanced standing) MSW field practicum experience The MSW summative evaluation project may be accepted by the MBA program as partial fulfillment of the MBA project. Complete a minimum of eight MBA courses for students who completed the MSW degree 2002 and beyond; complete a minimum of nine MBA courses for students who completed the MSW degree prior to 2002 For more information regarding the MBA coursework required for the MSW/MBA dual degree, see the MBA section. MBA Admission MSW/MBA dual degree applicants may apply to both programs at the same time or admitted MSW students may wait to apply to the MBA program until their concentration year. The GMAT is waived for MSW/MBA dual degree applicants. MBA application materials include: completed application, two short essays, an updated resume, two letters of recommendation, and a personal interview with the MBA program director. Admission to one program does not guarantee admission to the other. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.

Students can also expect to purchase textbooks and student liability insurance when in a field placement. There may also be additional fees associated with short-term electives abroad. Graduate Scholarship Search Tips As you may know, graduate students do not have access to many of the financial aid opportunities open to undergraduates. Because of this, we strongly encourage you to spend time doing your own independent research into graduate funding available locally, nationally, and internationally.

As such, forum members are invited to attend Social Work Department meetings via representatives. The forum has historically been volunteer based. Any student may serve on the forum, provided the student can make a commitment to attend the meetings and share in the efforts. The MSW director and MSW program coordinator also serve on the forum. Other faculty may be invited as permanent members or as guests. Past forum members established these guidelines: • • • • • • Provide an avenue for students to share and discuss ideas and/or concerns related to the MSW educational experience with the Social Work Department Encourage constructive dialogue among students, faculty, and department and College administrators Make recommendations to the department regarding program improvements Receive and give feedback on expectations of faculty, students, and the College Plan and coordinate MSW student events, lectures, discussions Organize social action projects MSW Faculty Laura Boisen, Professor of Social Work, MSW Field Coordinator.

Published 2017 Phone: 612-330-1000 www.augsburg.edu 1 A Greeting from the President I am pleased to know of your interest in Augsburg University’s exciting and innovative graduate programs. You are part of a select and discerning group of professionals who seek to find a graduate program that combines an excellent curriculum, a values-based approach to work, a talented and experienced faculty, and program formats that meet the needs of busy and successful people. Augsburg University’s graduate-level programs in Business Administration, Creative Writing, Education, Leadership, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, and Social Work are distinguished by the opportunities they provide students to expand decision-making and strategic skills. Augsburg University is characterized by a strong mission: Augsburg University 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. For our graduate programs, this mission helps to shape an innovative educational experience that features an expansive perspective on social responsibility, economic realities, business initiative, and environmental sustainability. At Augsburg University we believe that our distinctive educational purpose is to help you find your calling, at work and in the world. Augsburg graduate programs are designed to offer you quality educational experiences, personal attention, and opportunities to expand your personal and professional talents and skills. We are confident that our graduates are prepared for leadership in our ever-changing global society, the hallmark of an Augsburg degree. Sincerely, Paul C. Pribbenow, Ph.D. President 2 Welcome from the Provost and Chief Academic Officer Welcome to graduate study at Augsburg University! Augsburg has a long history of preparing our graduates for leadership in their communities and places of work. Across our graduate programs, students bring perspectives informed by prior study and experience; acquire specialized knowledge in a discipline or field; engage in collaborative learning; develop advanced capacities; encounter diverse perspectives and ideas; test theory through real-world experiences; and equip themselves for the next stage in their vocational journeys. When you join the Augsburg community, you become part of the Augsburg story—a story of academic achievement, experiential learning deepened by reflection, commitment to equity and intentional diversity, and dedication to lifelong learning. We are an institution committed to place, and our locations—whether in the Twin Cities, Rochester, or beyond—offer opportunities to apply what you learn in the classroom to the neighborhood, the local community, and in various urban and rural locations. Inspired by the faith of our Lutheran founders to be inclusive to the early immigrants who came to Augsburg’s doors, we are a community of diverse cultures and faiths. Indeed, the diversity of our community helps ensure that our graduates are uniquely prepared to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. Our commitment to interdisciplinary thinking is embodied in our newest academic building on the Minneapolis campus--the Hagfors Center for Science, Business, and Religion. We ground learning in the best of the liberal arts tradition, ensuring that our students are prepared not only for their first job but for mid- and late-career success. While connected through these common commitments, each graduate program has its own distinctive identity and curriculum. Your program offers a disciplinary home from which you will join a community of faculty, staff, and fellow students who will collectively extend your network of connections with prospective employers and expand your career opportunities in the future. We’re delighted that you’ll be joining us. Sincerely, Karen Kaivola Provost and Chief Academic Officer 3 About Augsburg At Augsburg University, we believe that graduate education should prepare gifted people for positions of leadership in their communities and places of work. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to apply critical thinking, problem solving, and advanced communication skills in a collaborative approach within that discipline, thereby engaging others with diverse perspectives in the work of advancing civic and global initiatives critical for a sustainable future. The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg mission, informed by the liberal and professional arts and sciences, to serve our neighbors in the heart of the city and out into the world with faith-based, ethical values. We welcome students from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Also, our programs look to the world through international courses and cultural exchanges. Mission Statement Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the University motto, “Education for Service,” and mission: Augsburg University 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. Augsburg Today 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, Minnesota in 1872. A Rochester, Minnesota campus was added in 2002. A short history of Augsburg University can be found at www.augsburg.edu/about/history. Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of its founders who believed:    Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically and broadly about the world and the work we do in it. An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and centers of faith. The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment. The vision of the University’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. Degrees Offered Augsburg offers the following graduate degrees:          Master of Arts in Education* Master of Arts in Leadership Master of Arts in Nursing* Master of Business Administration* Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing Master of Music Therapy Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies Master of Social Work Doctor of Nursing Practice* (with tracks in Transcultural Nursing and Family Nurse Practitioner) 4 Augsburg offers the following dual degrees:    Bachelor of Arts in Accounting/Master of Arts in Leadership Master of Arts in Leadership/Master of Business Administration Master of Social Work/Master of Business Administration *Programs offered at both of Augsburg’s campuses (Minneapolis and Rochester, MN) A Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s graduate programs 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 students to make use of all University facilities, whether a student in Minneapolis or Rochester, and to participate in University activities such as music and dramatic presentations and lecture/speaker events. Graduate Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg University is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching and service to be the focus of their activity at the University. Faculty 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. Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisors and participate regularly in campus activities. 5 Locations Minneapolis Campus Augsburg University is located in the heart of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. The campus is bordered by Riverside Avenue and Interstate 94, near the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities West Bank campus and the University of Minnesota Medical Center. Downtown Minneapolis is just minutes away, providing access to internships and careers with some of the country’s leading companies, as well as entertainment, arts, sports venues, shopping, dining, and transportation. The campus is blocks from the METRO Green and Blue light rail lines, which provide easy access to destinations in Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as the Minneapolis International Airport. Rochester Learning Site Augsburg’s learning site in Rochester, Minnesota, was established in 1998 as a natural extension of the University’s mission and its expertise in teaching working adults. Graduate degrees and undergraduate majors including business, education, and nursing, are offered in Rochester. Graduate programs in Rochester include the Master of Business Administration, Master of Arts in Nursing*, Master of Arts in Education*, and Doctor of Nursing Practice*. The Rochester classrooms and offices are located at Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA), just a few blocks south of downtown Rochester. Home to approximately 110,000 residents, Rochester is a city that enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior technological resources. Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a semester schedule with classes taking place on alternating weekday evenings and on occasional Saturdays, making them accessible to working adults. Students may also take courses within their program on the Minneapolis campus. Students at the Rochester site are Augsburg University students.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg University is required to give notice of the various rights accorded to students pursuant to FERPA. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following: Right to inspect and review education records 10 You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg University. The student must request to review their education records in writing with their signature. The University will respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request. Right to request amendment of education records You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records according to your request. Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize disclosure without your permission. One such exception which permits disclosure without consent is for disclosure to school officials who have legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); person or company with whom the University has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the board of regents, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information” FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg University without notification of the request or disclosure to the student. Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform Augsburg University not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg University will be refused. “Directory information” includes the following:               The student’s name The student’s address The student’s telephone number The student’s e-mail address The student’s date and place of birth The student’s major and minor field of study The student’s academic class level The student’s enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT) The student’s participation in officially-recognized activities and sports The student’s degrees and awards received (including dates) The weight and height of members of athletic teams The student’s dates of attendance Previous educational agencies or institutions attended by the student The student’s photograph Augsburg University will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such information be withheld. The Registrar’s Office must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory Information. Right to complain to FERPA Office 11 You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Policy Compliance Office, US Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. SW, Washington, DC, 20202, concerning Augsburg’s failure to comply with FERPA.

All graduate students must submit completed applications. Each graduate program also has additional program requirements, which may include coursework, professional experience, testing, etc. See the program sections for these additional requirements. Please refer to each individual program’s catalog section (below) for additional instructions and for detailed information on applying to graduate programs, refer to the Graduate Admissions website at www.augsburg.edu/grad. Readmission Graduate students who have not registered for courses at Augsburg University for two or more semesters, must apply for readmission 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 Registrar’s Office. Returning students do not pay the application fee. The last day to receive approval for readmission to the University and register for classes is the Friday prior to the start of the term. Pending approval by the graduate program, students who left on probation or who were dismissed from the University must have their readmission application and file reviewed by the program director. (Please consult with individual programs for information regarding readmission process). Non-degree Students Individuals may take coursework at Augsburg University as a non-degree-seeking student. Non-degree students can enroll on a space-available basis. Registration dates are included in the University’s Academic Calendar. Admission requires program director approval, and the student must be in good standing at all previously attended institutions. To apply for admission as a non-degree seeking student, submit the completed application, academic intent, and unofficial transcript from the bachelor’s degree granting institution to the Admissions Office. Some programs may have additional application requirements. A bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution is the minimum requirement for admission. Students who have earned a bachelor’s degree outside of the United States must submit a copy of a foreign credential evaluation from World Education Services (WES) or a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluators (NACES) to confirm it is equivalent to a United States bachelor’s degree or greater. Non-degree status is conferred for only one term of enrollment. Additional terms require reapplication as a non-degree seeking student. Students may count up to 6-8 semester credits earned as a non-degree seeking student toward an Augsburg University degree with approval from the program director. Non-degree seeking students who wish to pursue a degree must reapply for admission by submitting the completed application, academic intent, official transcript from the bachelor’s degree granting institution, and any additional materials required by the program. International Students Augsburg University graduate programs encourage qualified applicants from other countries to apply. An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a “full course of study” to achieve a specific educational or professional objective at an academic institution in the United States that has been designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of study to such students, and has been enrolled in SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System). 13 A student acquires F-1 status using form I-20, issued by a DHS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in one of two ways:   If the student is abroad, by entering the United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a US consulate. If the student is already in the United States and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the I-20 to USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an application for change of nonimmigrant status. A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer from another DHS-approved school to Augsburg by following the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations. In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students must also comply with the following: English Proficiency Requirements for International Graduate Applicants To meet Augsburg University admission requirements, you must provide evidence of a sufficient command of both written and spoken English to study college courses conducted entirely in English. Below is a list of the tests and programs Augsburg University accepts as evidence for English proficiency.           TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) www.toefl.org Score report of 80 on the Internet-based TOEFL (iBT) with a sub-score of 20 on the written and 20 on the speaking sections.

This evaluation should include the following:       Analysis of credentials to determine if your degree is equivalent to an accredited US bachelor’s degree Verification the degree is equivalent, at a minimum, to a four-year US bachelor’s degree is required. Course-by-course evaluation to show your complete course listing with credit values and grades received for each course, may also be required for specific programs. Calculation of grade point average to demonstrate your cumulative grade point average using the standard US grading system, i.e., A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0. Translation to English (if applicable) The evaluation report must be sent directly to Augsburg’s Office of Admissions. Refer to World Education Services at www.wes.org or member of the National Association of Credential Evaluators (NACES) at www.naces.org for information on how to obtain a foreign credential evaluation. Proof of Financial Support International applicants must provide reliable documentation that they have financial resources adequate to meet expenses for the duration of their academic program, which include tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, health insurance, personal expenses, and living expenses for dependents (if applicable). 14 Funds may come from any dependable source, including scholarships, fellowships, sponsoring agencies, personal funds, or funds from the student’s family. Documentation of scholarships and fellowships may be in the form of an official award letter from the school or sponsoring agency; documentation of personal or family funds should be on bank letterhead stationery, or in the form of a legally binding affidavit. Government Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, or Augsburg’s Financial Sponsorship form can be used to document support being provided by a US citizen or US legal permanent resident. All financial documents such as bank statements must be dated within three months prior to the date of application. Health Insurance All F-1 international students and their dependents (if applicable) are required to have adequate health insurance coverage for the duration of their program. International students will be enrolled in the Augsburg international student plan unless they fill out a waiver verifying proof of coverage through an alternative provider for the same period. 15 Financing Your Education Costs The Board of Regents approves the costs for the academic year. The board reviews costs annually and makes changes as required. Augsburg reserves the right to adjust charges should economic conditions necessitate. Full-Time vs. Half-Time Graduate students will need to be enrolled in 3 credits to be considered half-time and 6 credits to be considered fulltime.

DNP Fee MAN Fee $55 $55 Payments Semester Charges Prior to the start of each semester, a statement of estimated charges showing charges and financial aid credits designated by the Student Financial Services Office is sent to the student via e-mail. All statements are available online through AugNet’s Records and Registration site. Payments can be made online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/make-a-payment. Augsburg may charge late fees and interest on delinquent accounts. Review the full policy regarding past due balances online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/disclosure Payment Options Augsburg University offers payment plan options for all students. Information about payment plans is available online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts. Payment Policy Students at Augsburg University are obligated to pay Term Fees and additional charges when they register for each academic term. “Term Fees” include tuition, room and board charges and other fees initiated during your time as a 16 student. Students are responsible to pay for all of these charges regardless of whether financial aid is received or employers or other third parties pay as agreed. “Term Fees” are subject to refund only to the extent allowed under the Augsburg University Tuition Refund Policy. Augsburg accepts the following forms of payment: Cash Students and guest payers may make cash payments in-person at the Enrollment Center. Cash should never be mailed. Students will receive a receipt of their cash payment. Check Students and guest payers may pay their term fees via check either in-person at the Enrollment Center, through mail, or online using e-check/ACH. A $30 NSF Fee will be added for any payment returned by the bank for Non-Sufficient Funds. A receipt will automatically be sent electronically for any online payments. Students who pay in-person or through mail may request a receipt of the check payment. Credit Card/Debit Card Students and guest payers may make student account payments online with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express credit card. As of June 10th, 2016, Augsburg will no longer accept credit card or debit card payments in-person, over the phone, or through the mail. Credit cards will only be accepted online via Cashnet, a vendor contracted by Augsburg. Because Cashnet charges Augsburg for their services, a credit card service fee of 2.75 percent will be associated with any credit card payment made to the University. This is to offset the approximately $250,000 in costs that Augsburg accrues annually for providing credit card payment options to our students. Augsburg will not receive any part of the service fee and will not be profiting from it. Financial Aid All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must reapply each year. In addition to reapplying for aid, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the attainment of their degree or certificate as stipulated in the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) section of this catalog. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of grants and loans. The University cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational expenses, retirement needs, and special considerations. Types of Aid A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a specific scholarship or grant (except as noted). Institutional Grants/Discounts Augsburg offers grants/discounts for a variety of different students. Specific information about the different grants and scholarships, along with eligibility requirements, can be found online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/paymentplans-and-discounts. Loan Assistance Graduate students must be enrolled at least half-time in order to receive federal loans. Three semester credits per term is considered half-time. Six semester credits per term is considered full-time.  Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Student Loan 17    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). Federal Graduate Loan Program (PLUS) Graduate PLUS is a loan program to help graduate students meet college costs. Students may borrow up to the cost of attendance (minus all other student financial aid). Further information about loan programs can be found online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Federal regulations require that all higher education institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether students [1] receiving financial aid [2] are making satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of a degree. The purpose of this policy is to make sure that students who receive financial aid are using this money wisely. It is meant to curtail the use of financial aid by students who fail to successfully complete their course work. Failure to meet the following standards makes a student ineligible for all institutional, federal, and state financial aid. Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress  Minimum GPA requirements: Graduate Students must maintain a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA based on the entire academic record.  Minimum Credits Completed: Graduate Students must earn a cumulative 66.67% of the credits attempted based on the entire academic record. A completed credit has a grade of A – D- or P. Credits earned and completed will include accepted cumulative transfer credits as defined by the Registrar’s Office. Unsatisfactory grades “W (withdrawn),” “I (Incomplete),” “F/FN (Zero),” and “N (Not Passing)” are counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. Repeated and remedial courses are not counted towards the cumulative attempted credits.  Maximum Time Frame: To demonstrate academic progress, graduate students must complete their degree objective within 150% of the length of the program. Monitoring and Evaluating Progress In order to ensure SAP standards are being met, the Student Financial Services Office will evaluate students’ academic achievement at the end of each term. After the student’s record is evaluated and the Student Financial Services Office determines the student’s GPA or completion rate to be unsatisfactory, the student will be placed on Financial Aid Warning or Financial Aid Suspension. Students will be notified through their Augsburg email if they fail to meet SAP standards. Financial Aid Warning A student who fails to meet SAP standards will be placed on Financial Aid Warning for the following term of enrollment. Students placed on Financial Aid Warning will still be eligible to receive financial aid. Financial Aid Warning will last for one term. If at the end of the term, the student meets SAP standards the Financial Aid Warning will conclude. Students currently on Financial Aid Warning who do not meet SAP standards at the end of the term will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. Financial Aid Suspension A student who fails to meet either the minimum GPA requirement and/or minimum credits attempted while on Financial Aid Warning will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. A student on Financial Aid Suspension is ineligible to receive any form of financial aid. A student on Financial Aid Suspension may submit an appeal to reinstate their financial aid. Financial Aid Suspension will conclude when the student meets SAP standards, or successfully appeals. Financial Aid will be suspended when a student placed on Financial Aid Suspension does not meet SAP standards. Because grades may not be available before the beginning of the next scheduled term, it is possible that financial aid may be disbursed to a student before the review can be conducted. In the event that a student is found to be ineligible for the financial aid that has been disbursed due to a failure to meet one of the Standards, the aid that was disbursed will be canceled, and returned to the appropriate program(s). 18 Right to Appeal Students who have had their financial aid suspended may submit the SAP Appeal Form to the Student Financial Services Office. The SAP Appeal Form must be completely filled out, along with any additional documents required by the SAP Committee. The appeal should state reasons why the student failed to meet SAP standards, and what changed for the student that will allow the student to demonstrate progress towards meeting SAP standards. The appeal will be decided by the SAP Committee. All decisions made by the Committee are final. If a student’s appeal is approved they will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. If a student’s appeal is denied they will remain on Financial Aid Suspension and will remain ineligible for financial aid. Financial Aid Probation A student who has been placed on Financial Aid Suspension and successfully appeals SAP will be place on Financial Aid Probation. A student on Financial Aid Probation will be eligible to receive financial aid. Financial Aid Probation will last for one term. If at the end of the term, the students meets SAP standards, the Financial Aid Probation will conclude. Students currently on Financial Aid Probation who do not meet the standards at the end of the term will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. [1] Financial Aid is defined as: Augsburg Institutional Aid, Federal Title IV funding, and Minnesota State Financial Aid programs. Student Account Financial Disclosure Students at Augsburg University are obligated to pay Term Fees and additional charges when they register for each academic term. “Term Fees” include tuition, room and board charges and other fees initiated during your time as a student. Students are responsible to pay for all of these charges regardless of whether financial aid is received or employers or other third parties pay as agreed. “Term Fees” are subject to refund only to the extent allowed under the Augsburg University Tuition Refund Policy. Statements and account history are available online through AugNet Records and Registration. Augsburg University may require someone to co-sign on the students’ obligations in special cases, such as when a student has a history of late or missed payments. When a co-signer’s signature is required, both students and co-signers are responsible for payment of all costs incurred (including collection costs and fees of any collection agency and/or attorney, if applicable) and all other conditions outlined on the Student Account Financial Disclosure. Results of Balances Not Paid in Full Augsburg may charge late fees and interest on delinquent accounts. Missed or late payments will be subject to a late payment charge and/or a finance charge on the overdue balance from the date the balance was due until payment in full is received. If your account is not paid in full on the first day of the term, finance charges at the rate of 8% per year (.67% per month) will be added onto your student account balance. For example, this means that for every $1,000 owed you will receive $6.70 a month in finance charges. A $30 NSF Fee will be added for any payment returned by the bank for Non-Sufficient Funds. Past Due Accounts If the student does not set up a formal payment plan with Augsburg’s Student Financial Services department, Augsburg reserves the right to demand payment of the entire balance owed by that student and to take steps to collect it. Augsburg may cancel the student’s registration, prevent the student from registering for future terms, withhold transcripts or diplomas, remove the student from on-campus housing, turn the student’s account over to a collection agency or take legal action to collect any past due balance. Each student authorizes Augsburg to release financial information about her or his account and other pertinent information such as address and phone number to third parties who are dealing with the collection of the account balance. By providing us with a telephone number for a cellular phone or other wireless device, you are expressly consenting to receive communications – including but not limited to prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an automatic telephone dialing 19 system – from us and our affiliates and agents at that number. This express consent applies to each such telephone number that you provide to us now or in the future and permits such calls regardless of their purpose. Calls and messages may incur access fees from your cellular provider. Each student also agrees to reimburse Augsburg University, or its agents, the fees of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 40% of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, we incur in such collection efforts. Please note that, due to the Bankruptcy Reform Act, educational benefits are generally exempt from discharge under bankruptcy. The terms of this agreement remain in effect until all Term Fees and other charges are paid in full. Financial Policy 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 University will not release student academic transcripts or graduation diplomas/certificates until all student account charges are paid in full or, in the case of student loan funds administered by the University (Federal Perkins Student Loan), are current according to established repayment schedules and the loan entrance and exit interviews have been completed. Tuition Refund Students are eligible for a 100% tuition refund for any courses they drop without notation through the date labeled “Last day to drop without a ‘W’ grade & 100% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. After this date, students are no longer eligible for any refund of tuition unless they withdraw from all of their courses. This policy is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. Students withdrawing from all of a term’s courses may receive a 50% tuition refund when they withdraw by the date labeled “Last day to withdraw with 50% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. Students are responsible for cancelling courses through the Registrar’s Office (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. Medical Refund If a student is forced to withdraw from one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, a request for a medical refund should be made through the Academic/Financial Petition. Petition forms are available through the Registrar’s Office website. An extra medical refund may be granted by the Committee upon submission of documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances. 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 University 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. 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 Office 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 tuition charges for the term will be replaced with an administrative cancellation fee of $300. 20 Financial Aid Policy Financial aid such as federal, state, and institutional grants and scholarships are awarded based upon the total number of registered credits on the “Last day to add with faculty signature – Full Semester class” as noted on the Academic Calendar. Students must register for internships, Time 2 classes, and ACTC classes before the “Last day to add with faculty signature-Full Semester class”. Financial aid will not be adjusted for classes added after this date. Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester by actively attending and participating in classes throughout the semester. Financial aid is recalculated when students do any of the following: drop classes without a “W” grade, fail to begin classes, cease to attend classes, fail all classes, or fully withdraw from all classes. Financial Aid - Return of Aid Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester. A student can earn their aid by attending classes, or in the event of hybrid/online courses, be an active participant in the course. Federal/State Aid Adjustments Augsburg is required to return unearned federal/state aid for students who fully withdraw from their courses. Student are eligible to keep more aid the longer they attend their courses. After 60% of the term has passed, students are eligible to keep all of their federal/state aid. If you are planning to completely withdraw from your courses, please see a Student Financial Services counselor to determine what aid may need to be returned. Institutional Aid Adjustments Augsburg will return institutional aid for students who partially withdraw or fully withdraw from courses. If students withdraw from their courses they will receive a 50% tuition refund and 50% of their institutional aid will be removed. If a student withdraws after the last day to receive a tuition refund, there will be no adjustment to their institutional aid. Credit Refund Augsburg students may be eligible to receive a credit refund if their financial aid exceeds tuition and fee charges for a term. Credit refunds are issued within two weeks after the last day to drop courses without recorded notation. Financial Aid needs to be finalized (You can verify your financial aid status online through Track Your Financial Aid) and applied to a student’s account (Check your Transaction History online to verify all of your financial aid has been applied to your account and nothing is left pending) before the credit refund can be issued. Changes in enrollment status, housing status, and program status may affect financial aid eligibility and credit refunds. Students who are enrolled less than half-time (less than 6.0 credits for undergraduates, less than 3.0 credit for graduates) may not be eligible for financial aid; however, students may apply for private alternative loans. Registration changes made from the first week of the term through midterm may require a return of financial aid funds. Students who drop courses may receive a tuition refund, but some forms of financial aid may have to be adjusted before a refund will be available. Financial aid return of funds may take up to 30-45 days to be processed. Bookstore Students who are registered for the upcoming term will be allowed to charge up to $700 to their student account. Students DO NOT need to request a bookstore account this year. Please plan ahead and purchase books and supplies before the scheduled cut off dates; plan ahead for courses that start midterm as you will be unable to charge anything to your student account after the cut-off date. Students’ accounts will be billed for only what was spent on their bookstore accounts before credit refunds are issued. If your bookstore charges create a balance on your account, you need to make payments in accordance with your statement. Bookstore purchases charged to a student account are intended for students who have excess financial aid funds to cover their tuition, fees, AND their books or supplies. Please contact Student Financial Services before you purchase books if you need to discuss payment options. Due to the financial aid cycle, you can only charge expenses to your bookstore account during specific times. 21 Third Party If you are expecting a third party to cover the cost of your books, you will need to turn in an itemized receipt of your purchases to the Student Financial Services Office, along with your invoice request. Additional Funds If the cost of your textbooks and supplies are above $700 in one term, you have enough financial aid to cover the additional costs, and you would like to charge the additional amount to your student account, please send the following information to Student Financial Services (studentfinances@augsburg.edu). All requests need to be in writing. Subject: Request for additional funds Full Name: Student ID number: Additional request: Students will receive an e-mail when the additional request has been processed. Accounts are opened as quickly as possible, but it could take up to two business days for activation. Consumer Information Loss of Financial Aid Due to Drug Offense A student, who is convicted of a state or federal offense involving the possession or sale of an illegal drug that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid, is not eligible for Title IV funds. [An illegal drug is a controlled substance as defined by the Controlled Substance Act and does not include alcohol and tobacco. A borrower’s eligibility is based on the student’s self-certification on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Convictions that are reversed, set aside or removed from the student’s record, or a determination arising from a juvenile court proceeding do not affect eligibility and do not need to be reported by the student. A student who is convicted of a drug-related offense that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid loses Title IV eligibility as follows: For the possession of illegal drugs: First offense: one year from the date of conviction. Second offense: two years from the date of the second conviction. Third offense: indefinitely from the date of the third conviction. For the sale of illegal drugs: First offense: two years from the date of conviction. Second offense: indefinitely from the date of the second conviction. A school must provide a student who loses Title IV eligibility due to a drug-related conviction with a timely, separate, clear, and conspicuous written notice. The notice must advise the student of his or her loss of Title IV eligibility and the ways in which the student may regain that eligibility. Regaining Eligibility after a Drug Conviction A student may regain eligibility at any time by completing an approved drug rehabilitation program and by informing the school that he or she has done so. A student regains Title IV eligibility on the date he or she successfully completes the program. A drug rehabilitation program is considered approved for these purposes if it includes at least two unannounced drug tests and meets one of the following criteria: 22     The program received or is qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly under a federal, state, or local government program. The program is administered or recognized by a federal, state, or local government agency or court. The program received or is qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a federally or state licensed insurance company. The program administered or recognized by a federally or state-licensed hospital, health clinic, or medical doctor. Policies may change throughout an academic year if necessary to comply with federal, state, or institutional changes or regulations. 23 Student Resources/Academic and Support Services Lindell Library Resources Since 1997 the James G.

Network-ready student machines can connect to the campus network from residence hall rooms or any building on campus using WiFi. All of the AugNet online services are available securely on- and off-campus. 24 Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) The Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and academic support for students with documented learning, attention, psychiatric, sensory, and physical disabilities, as well as those with temporary disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain access to the 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 develop a plan for ensuring they have equal access to Augsburg courses, programs, activities, and facilities. Students are encouraged to meet regularly with their specialist, and discussions may include:      Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g., extended time, note-taking) Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, student technology assistance, academic advising, counseling, financial aid) Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Accommodations Laboratory Coaching on academic, organizational, and time management skills Campus living accommodations The Disability Specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisors, and other members of the faculty, staff, or administration to support each student as they work toward success. Taking advantage of these accommodations and services, however, remains the student’s responsibility. Any Augsburg student who wants to establish eligibility for accommodations and services should schedule a meeting with a Specialist to discuss their needs, as well as appropriate documentation of their disability. CLASS also provides informal screenings for students who suspect they may have a learning-related disability. These screenings are meant only to help students determine whether they should seek a thorough evaluation by a qualified professional. Academic accommodations are intended to ensure access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities and may not fundamentally alter the basic nature or essential components of an institution’s courses or programs. The services and technology provided by CLASS are enhanced by the generous support of the Gage family and Groves Foundation. For further information, call 612-330-1053. International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) ISSS is responsible for the enrollment planning, recruitment and advising of degree-seeking international students. Members of the ISSS team serve as Designated School Officials (DSO) for the University’s F-1 student visa program and as Responsible Officer (RO) and Alternate Responsible Officer (ARO) for the University’s J-1 student/scholar exchange program. A DSO ensures institutional and individual compliance with the law and government policies pertaining to F-1 students. The RO and ARO ensure institutional and individual compliance with the law and government policies pertaining to J-1 exchange students and scholars. ISSS advises students regarding the F and J regulations so that students maintain their F or J immigration status. 25 Academic Policies and Procedures Academic Calendars All graduate programs meet on a semester calendar. The Academic Calendars can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change without notice. Academic Policies The University and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges. Academic Honesty A university is a community of learners whose relationship relies on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity and credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg University community. Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a University requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student pledging to abide by the University’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. (See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide). Evaluation and Grading Evaluation of academic performance is based on letter grades using an A ‐ F scale. Grading option cannot be changed from traditional (A - F) to Pass/No Credit. Explanation of grades: Grade A AB+ B BC+ C CD+ D DF P N Grade Points Description 4.00 Excellent 3.67 3.33 3.00 Undergraduate: Good Graduate: Satisfactory 2.67 2.33 2.00 Undergraduate only: Satisfactory 1.67 1.33 1.00 Poor 0.67 0.00 Failure 0.00 Pass* 0.00 No Pass *The letter equivalent of a P grade is a C- / 1.67 or higher for undergraduate courses and a B / 3.0 or higher for graduate courses. Pass/No Pass Grades In graduate courses, the grading option cannot be changed from the traditional A ‐ F grading scale to the Pass/No Pass grading system. 26 Some graduate courses only use the Pass/No Pass grading system. In order to receive a grade of P, students must achieve at least a grade of B. Incomplete (I) Grades Incomplete grades (I) are to be given only in the case of extreme emergency (i.e. illness, family emergency, death in the family, military commitment). If you have any questions regarding the qualifying emergency please contact the Registrar’s Office for verification. An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Registrar’s Office that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Extension (X) Grades Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of F will be assigned. Withdrawal (W) Grade A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a W grade and before the last day to withdraw. Withdrawals negatively impact credit completion rate but do not negatively impact the grade point average. Repeated Courses A course in which a grade of F, FN, D-, D, D+, C-, C, C+, B-, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited (exceptions are made for academic programs with minimum grade requirements of a B+ or higher or other catalog policies that require a course to be retaken). All courses taken each semester and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned for the most recent attempt, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. Courses completed at Augsburg University must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat policy. Auditing Courses Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V) on a space-available basis. Graduate students will be charged an audit fee of $1,000. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript with a V grade. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Audited courses do not count towards graduation. 27 Grade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other institutions. The formula for calculating the GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted with A to F grades assigned. The following grading symbols are not included in the GPA calculation: Symbol P S N V W I X IP R GRT L NG Explanation Fall 2017 to Present: Pass, C- or higher undergraduate or B or higher graduate work; Prior to Fall 2017: Pass, 2.0 or higher undergraduate or 3.0 or higher graduate work Satisfactory No pass, no credit Audit, no credit Withdrawn Incomplete Extension, incomplete In progress Repeat Credit granted Required lab component (a credit-bearing grade was earned in the corresponding lecture course) Not graded, no credit Attendance Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements to address the needs of particular courses, individual students, or various learning styles. Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible, students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible. Non-Attendance/Non-Participation Attendance/participation in class is important for academic success and financial aid. Therefore, students are dropped for non-attendance/non-participation after the 10th business day of the term if reported by the instructor. Students are ultimately responsible for dropping classes if they no longer plan to attend/participate. Students who have been dropped and wish to re-enroll must submit an Academic/Financial Petition. Graduate Continuation Policy Students registering for the final project course must complete the Final Project Registration/Graduate Continuation Contract by the last day to add with faculty signature for a Full Semester class as noted on the Academic Calendar. Upon receipt of the contract, the Registrar’s Office will enroll the student in the Continuation Program for 7 semesters. Entry into the Continuation Program maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, including library and AugNet Services. If a grade is not received by the grading deadline of the 7th semester, the grade will change from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project after receiving a failing grade must meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the University and program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional coursework 28 and will need to pay tuition and fees for any additional courses. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would replace the previous N grade. Students may withdraw from the University, and thus from the Continuation Program and the final project course, at any point during the continuation period and receive a W notation on the transcript for the final project course. Following a withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the University and program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional coursework and will need to pay full tuition and fees for any additional courses. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would replace the previous W grade. Credit and Contact Hours Augsburg’s credit hour policy follows the federal guidelines in defining a semester credit hour as one fifty-minute period of instruction and 100 minutes of out-of-class work per week for fifteen weeks, or the equivalent amount of student work completed over a different time frame or via a different delivery method. All Augsburg programs follow the semester calendar with semester lengths from 14-16 weeks. Augsburg offers a summer semester which follows the same format as both fall and spring semester. Students must take at least 3 credits to be considered half-time, and 6 or more credits to be considered full-time. Students may take up to 22 credits. Degree Requirements To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following:    Successful completion of all required courses A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed continuation agreement with Augsburg University. Probation and Dismissal Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistant must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out with the program director. Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the University. Dismissal Appeals Process A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the University’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate negatively affected the outcome. The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard copy of the statement of appeal to the Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate Studies (AVP-Graduate Studies); email is not acceptable. The statement must identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The statement of appeal will be the only basis of the student’s appeal. The AVP-Graduate Studies must receive the student’s statement of appeal within 14 calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the statement of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within 15 business days of the date that the statement was 29 received by the AVP-Graduate Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVPGraduate Studies. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the program’s response to the student. The AVP-Graduate Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the AVP-Graduate Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty members (one from programs not named in the appeal: Business, Creative Writing, Education, Leadership, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, Social Work). The Program Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s statement of response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures and ask questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each bring a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg University faculty member, staff member, or student). The role of the third party representative is to provide support to the student or the program representative, not to serve as an advocate during the meeting. Dropping or Withdrawing Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or with a Registration Form. For drop and withdrawal deadlines see the Academic Calendar. Independent Study Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special Directed/Independent Study Registration form is required. Term Off Students may take up to two semesters off and have continued access to Augsburg email and AugNet Services. If a student is not registered after 10th day of the third semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the student will need to submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll. For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their advisor and obtain the advice of their director. Evaluation of Transfer Credit Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide appropriate documentation regarding previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university and graded B or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program requirements at Augsburg. The maximum number of semester credits that can be transferred is:        Master of Arts in Education (6) Master of Arts in Leadership (6) Master of Arts in Nursing (9) Master of Business Administration (18) Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (12) Master of Music Therapy (Contact program director) Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator) 30   Master of Social Work (22) Doctor of Nursing Practice (Contact program director) Augsburg credits are calculated in semester hours. If you completed courses at other institutions that are quarter hours, they will be converted to semester hours. One quarter hour equates to two-thirds of a semester hour. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. 31 Master of Arts in Education Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and elsewhere. The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program combines our excellent undergraduate licensure coursework with a master’s level coursework focused on teacher leadership, preparing teachers to serve K-12 students effectively and to nurture healthy change within schools and school systems. Our Philosophy The Education Department program themes include relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. One of these themes - leadership - is lived out within the MAE program. As this program theme suggests, we expect our students to leave our programs as responsive, knowledgeable teachers prepared to exercise leadership in the classroom and, eventually, the school and community. Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through a combination of course content, field experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students will leave our programs as collaborative and capable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. Our Faculty Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors, all of whom have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all full-time faculty members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision, volunteer work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do. We value good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers. Our Accessibility We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and personal responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings to allow you to manage these responsibilities while pursuing your goals. You will need to be available during the weekday for the challenge and responsibility of field experiences, but education coursework is accessible through the evening schedules*. As a student in Augsburg’s Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly-qualified teacher— the teacher you can become. Education Department Mission The mission of the Augsburg Education Department is to develop responsive, knowledgeable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. Program Overview The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) is designed to provide a teaching license as part of a master’s degree program. K12 initial teaching licenses offered at Augsburg include:   Elementary education (K-6), with or without a middle school content area endorsement in math, communication arts, social studies, or science. Subject matter courses for these endorsements may need to be taken in the weekday schedule or at a community college when unavailable through evening course work. Secondary education (5-12 and K-12) in social studies, communication arts/literature, visual arts, health, mathematics, music, and physical education, 9-12 in biology, chemistry, and physics, and 5-8 general science . Subject matter courses for these licenses may need to be taken in the weekday schedule or at a community college 32 when unavailable through evening course work. Augsburg requires that at least two content area courses are taken at Augsburg. Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE degree through the following four licensure endorsement options:   K-12 English as a Second Language K-12 Special Education: Academic Behavior Strategist All teachers seeking licensure through Augsburg must take and pass all tests required by the state of Minnesota for licensure. These include tests in basic skills, pedagogy and content area knowledge. Accreditations and Approvals Augsburg University Teacher Education programs are approved by:  Minnesota Board of Teaching. (MN BOT) Augsburg University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the listing in the Accreditation, Approvals, and Memberships section of this catalog. Program Structure The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program is made up of a core of education licensure courses at the graduate level coupled with a degree completion option. Courses in the degree completion phase are drawn from the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) and graduate courses in education. Most students in the MAE program pursue a teaching license as part of their program plan. The MAE degree is also open to students who do not want a teaching license but do want a background in education and leadership. See the MAE program director for details. The MAE degree requires ten or eleven Augsburg graduate level courses, depending on the degree completion option. In addition, several courses at the undergraduate level are required for licensure. Only courses taken at the graduate level apply towards the MAE degree. Credit MAE graduate level courses are offered for 3 semester credits. Each course is comprised of 37.5 instructional hours with the expectation of about 75 hours of independent study outside of class. Schedule The majority of the education courses in the MAE licensure and degree programs are offered through the AU evening schedule. Courses in this schedule meet face to face every other week with online instruction during the alternate weeks. A few education courses and many undergraduate content area courses are offered in a face to face, classroom based format, meeting weekly in the evenings. The MAL and education degree completion courses are offered primarily in a weekend schedule through a mix of face-to-face and online instruction. Summer session courses are offered primarily weekday evenings. Summer courses are offered in a mix of formats from all online to all face-to-face. The following teaching licenses are available entirely through the evening and summer schedule: elementary education, K-12 special education, and K-12 English as a second language. Additional licenses in the following areas are available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, summer schedules, and, occasional off-campus courses: biology, chemistry, communication arts, health, mathematics, music, physical education, physics, and social studies. For these licenses, the education and degree completion courses are taken weekday evenings and summer while some, if not all, of the content area courses are taken during the weekday and/or off-campus. 33 The weekday evening schedule is comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. In general, classes are held every other week, face to face with online instruction in the intervening week. The weekday schedule is also comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. Classes offered during the weekday meet one to three times per week. Classes offered jointly between weekday and weekend meet on a weekly basis in the evening. The official academic calendars can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Curriculum—Teaching Licenses K-6 Elementary Education This program is designed to prepare teachers for grades K-6. Optional endorsements in middle school specialty areas of math, science, social studies, and communication arts can be pursued along with or separately from the K-6 license. The teaching license and some endorsements are offered at both undergraduate and graduate levels through a mix of undergraduate courses and combined graduate and undergraduate courses. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and have been admitted to the MAE program. All of the following courses must be taken for K-6 elementary licensure. Up to twenty‐one graduate level credits of licensure coursework listed below may be applied to the Master of Arts in Education degree. EDC 200/522 - Orientation to Education in an Urban Setting* EDC 206/566 - Diversity/Minnesota American Indians EDC 310/533 - Learning and Development in an Educational Setting EDC 410/544 - Learners with Special Needs* EDC 490/580 - School and Society EED 225/524 - Foundations of Literacy EED 325/525 - K-6 Methods: Literacy* EED 350/550 - K-6 Methods: Math EED 360/560 - K-6 Methods: Science To complete the license, the following undergraduate requirements must be completed: HPE 115 - Chemical Dependency Education EDC 220 - Educational Technology EED 326 - Elementary Reading K-6 Field Experience* (taken concurrently with EED 325/525) EED 311 - K-6 Methods: Health EED 312 - K-6 Methods: Physical Education EED 336 - Advanced Literacy Methods* EED 341 - K-6 Methods: Art EED 370 - K-6 Methods: Social Studies/Thematics EED 380 - Kindergarten Methods* EED 386 - K-6 Methods: Children’s Literature EDC 481 - Student Teaching: Initial License (12-14 weeks) or EDC 482 - Student Teaching: Endorsement EED 489 - Teacher Performance Assessment and Student Teaching Seminar *Field experience hours are required in these courses. Students spend 20 or more hours per term in field experiences. These experiences occur in K-6 classrooms during the weekday. If more than one course with field experience is taken in a given term, field experience requirements expand accordingly (i.e., two courses with 20 hours of field experience each require a total of 40 hours). Undergraduate Liberal Arts Requirements The number of supporting content area courses required for licensure depends upon the courses completed as part of the bachelor’s degree and/or other coursework. Requirements are determined by Minnesota licensure standards for specific college-level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary licensure. Specific requirements are on file in the Education Department. 34 Minnesota licensure standards allow for optional subject area endorsements in communication arts/literature, social studies, math, and science. Subject matter courses for these endorsements will be available through a combination of weekday, evening and off-campus courses. Specific requirements for these endorsements are on file in the Education Department. Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. The Education Department and the content area departments determine the courses that are accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. Courses that are older than five years are judged on a case-by-case basis. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree. The program has limits on the amount and type of courses that are accepted. Grades of B or better are required for transfer consideration. See the MAE program director for approval of graduate coursework accepted in transfer. K-12 and 5-12 Secondary Education K-12 and 5-12 licenses in several content areas are offered through a combination of graduate and undergraduate coursework. K-12 licenses prepare teachers to teach a content area across elementary, middle school, and high school. Licenses for grades 5- 12 prepare teachers to teach at the middle and high school levels. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet MAE admissions criteria. Subject matter courses in the following majors are offered on weekday evenings and summer: English, communications (for communication arts), art and selected social science courses. Students seeking 5–12 licensure in social studies must complete a broad-based core of courses in the social studies in addition to a social science major. Education courses for these licenses are also taken during weekday evenings and summer. The following content area majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry, physics, health, physical education, music, and mathematics. Students seeking licensure in any of these areas typically will need to take additional content courses in the weekday schedule and off-campus. Students can obtain a 9-12 license in physics, chemistry, or biology and have the option of adding the 5–8 general science to the 9-12 license. Students also can obtain the 5–8 general science license without the 9–12 license. Education courses for these licenses are taken during weekday evenings. Licensure Requirements The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure. Up to twenty‐one graduate level credits of licensure coursework listed below may be applied to the Master of Arts in Education degree. EDC 200/522 - Orientation to Education in an Urban Setting* EDC 206/566 - Diversity/Minnesota American Indians EDC 310/533 - Learning and Development in an Educational Setting EDC 410/544 - Learners with Special Needs* EDC 490/580 - School and Society ESE 325/525 - Creating Learning Environments ESE 300/500 - Reading and Writing in Content Area* To complete the license, students also will need to complete the following requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE 115 - Chemical Dependency Education EDC 220 - Educational Technology ESE 3XX - K-12 or 5-12 Methods (in the content area)* EDC 481 - Student Teaching: Initial License (12-14 weeks) or EDC 482 - Student Teaching: Endorsement or EDC 483 - Student Teaching: Initial License in PE, Music, Art, or ESL ESE 489 - Teacher Performance Assessment and Student Teaching Seminar 35 *Field experience hours are required in these courses. A minimum of 100 hours in classrooms and education-related settings is required prior to student teaching. Students spend approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences. Undergraduate Content Area Requirements The equivalent of a major in the licensure content area is required for K-12 and 5-12 licenses. Students who have majored in a field in which we offer licensure must have their previous coursework evaluated by the major department at Augsburg. Two or more content area courses tied to Minnesota licensure standards are generally required, even with a completed academic major. Previous coursework is evaluated by the content area department and accepted if it meets Minnesota licensure standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. Coursework older than five years is judged on a case-by-case basis. Specific course requirements for each content area are on file in the Education Department. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree program. See the MAE program director for approval to use graduate level transfer courses in the degree program. Special Education Augsburg University offers licensure in K–12 Special Education: Academic Behavioral Strategist (ABS). This program qualifies students to teach in special education programs and positions working with students with mild to moderate disabilities in the areas of emotional/behavioral disabilities, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disabilities, developmental and cognitive disabilities and other health disabilities. This program is built on an inclusive education model. Under this model, students learn how to work closely with both special and general educators to facilitate inclusion of special education students into the regular education classroom. Five years after being licensed, teachers must extend their license in one of the above categories through additional coursework. Licensure Requirements Licensure requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Classes will include both undergraduate and graduate students, with graduate students having additional course responsibilities. Graduate courses are taken at the 500 level. All courses must be taken for licensure, and up to twenty‐one graduate level credits of licensure coursework listed below may be applied to the Master of Arts in Education degree. The following courses for the ABS license are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate levels: EDC 200/522 - Orientation to Education in an Urban Setting* EDC 206/566 - Diversity/Minnesota American Indians EDC 310/533 - Learning and Development in an Educational Setting EDC 410/544 - Learners with Special Needs* EED 225/524 - Foundations of Literacy EED 325/525 - K-6 Methods: Literacy* EED 350/550 - K–6 Methods: Math* EED 360/560 - K–6 Methods: Science* SPE 410/510 - Implementing Assessment Strategies* SPE 411/511 - Etiology and Theory of Mild to Moderate Disabilities SPE 415/515 - Theory to Practice* SPE 425/525 - Transition and Community* SPE 430/530 - Instructional and Behavioral Practices* SPE 490/540 - Parent and Professional Planning To complete the ABS license students will also need to complete certain requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE 115 - Chemical Dependency Education MAT 137 - Mathematics for Elementary Teachers I EDC 220 - Education Technology EDC 330 and 332 - Building the Public Good: Public Achievement and Organizing EDC 331 and 333 - Practicum in Public Achievement 36 EED 326 - Elementary Reading K-6 Field Experience* (taken concurrently with EED 325/525) EDC 481 - Student Teaching: Initial License (12-14 weeks) SPE 489 - Teacher Performance Assessment and Student Teaching Seminar *Field experience required as part of this course. This program is based on an innovative internship model that allows students employed in special education classrooms to fulfill a portion of their special education field experience requirements while they work. Students not employed in these settings are expected to complete a significant number of volunteer hours in special education settings. All must complete field placements or student teaching in classrooms serving these populations. Hours must be completed across elementary, middle school, and high school and include experiences with the five areas of disability that are part of this license. Specific information on field experience requirements is available from the Education Department. Licensure Requirements—EBD/LD–Naadamaadiwin Special Education Tribal Cohort Augsburg does not offer the post-baccalaureate Tribal Special Education licensure program at this time. It may become available again in the future. If you are a student who did not finish the Tribal Special Education program when it was offered, please see your adviser for an alternate plan. You can finish through our regular Special Education licensing program. K-12 English as a Second Language (ESL) License The K-12 English as a Second Language license is available as an initial license as well as an endorsement to an existing license. This license qualifies teachers to work with K-12 students for whom English is a second language across a range of subject areas. The K-12 ESL licensure program is comprised of both undergraduate and graduate courses; up to seven of the graduate courses can apply to the completion of the MAE degree. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and have been admitted to the MAE program. A pre-requisite to program admissions is two years of high school level or one year of college level language instruction. The K-12 ESL program is offered in a hybrid format which means that courses are a mix of face to face and online instruction. Classes are offered during the academic year in the evening semester framework and during summer session to make them accessible to working adults. This license is also offered as an undergraduate major to Augsburg Undergraduate (AU) students seeking a baccalaureate degree. The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure, and up to twenty‐one graduate level credits of licensure coursework listed below may be applied to the Master of Arts in Education degree. EDC 200/522 - Orientation to Education in an Urban Setting* EDC 206/566 - Diversity/MN American Indians EDC 310/533 - Learning and Development in an Educational Setting EDC 410/544 - Learners with Special Needs* EED 325/525 - K-6 Methods: Literacy* ESE 325/525 - Creating Learning Environments* ESL 330/510 - History and Structure of the English Language ESL 340/520 - ESL Literacy* ESL 490/530 - Language, Culture, and Schools ESL 420/540 - ESL Methods* To complete the license, students also will need to complete the following requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE 115 - Chemical Dependency Education EDC 220 - Educational Technology EED 326 - Elementary Reading K-6 Field Experience (taken concurrently with EED 325/525) ESL 310 - Second Language Acquisition ESL 320 - Introduction to Linguistics ESL 410 - ESL Testing and Evaluation 37 EDC 483 - Student Teaching: Initial License in PE, Music, Art, or ESL ESL 489 - Teacher Performance Assessment and Student Teaching Seminar *This course has a 20 hour field experience attached to it. Student Teaching Students are required to complete student teaching for initial and additional licenses (unless otherwise indicated). In the MAE program, student teaching is generally completed before finishing the degree. Students can apply for licensure at this point and finish the degree later. Student teaching for elementary, secondary, and K-12 initial licenses lasts 12-14 weeks, depending on licensure scope. During that time, students work full-time as student teachers and are supervised by an Augsburg faculty member. Students register for eight to twelve semester credits of student teaching and a two semester credit edTPA and student teaching seminar. They meet at Augsburg University for student teaching seminars several times during the term. Most student teaching placements are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area and Rochester. However, students do have the opportunity to student teach abroad, where students complete a 10-week student teaching experience in the metro area and then complete another student teaching experience abroad. Opportunities to teach abroad are available around the world, and it is a wonderful way to build a global perspective in education. Additional information is available through the Education Department. Curriculum—Graduate Degree Completion Options Students take graduate coursework as part of the licensure program. This coursework forms the Master of Arts in Education licensure core, with between four to seven Augsburg graduate-level licensure courses fulfilling master’s requirements. Students bringing fewer than seven graduate-level licensure courses or 21 semester credits into the degree program must complete additional Master of Arts in Leadership (ML) or education graduate courses to reach the required 30-33 semester credits for the MAE degree. To finish out the master’s degree, students will need to complete one of the following options. Action Research Degree Completion Option (Minimum 30 credits) This degree completion option requires a minimum of three classes totaling at least nine semester credits: a Master of Arts in Leadership (ML) elective, EDC 592 Action Research 1, and EDC 593 Action Research 2. The action research courses guide the student through completion of a long-term action research project, typically conducted in the student’s classroom and focused on a question or concern identified by the student. The research is presented at an action research symposium and a formal written report of the research is placed in Lindell Library. The coursework for action research is designed to be completed in two semesters; the project itself is done once the research is presented at an action research symposium and the paper is accepted for placement in Lindell Library. Additional terms beyond those in which the courses are completed are available through continuing registration for up to seven semesters. Leadership Application Project (LAP) Degree Completion Option (Minimum 30 credits) This degree completion option requires a minimum of three classes totaling at least nine semester credits: an ML elective, EDC 514 – Research Methods - Education focus or ML 514 - Evaluating Empirical Research and EDC 585 – Navigating the Leadership Application Project. Students electing this degree completion option do so because they are interested in developing an educational product that meets an identified need.   The goal for those developing an educational product is to identify an issue or problem related to their practice, and after researching available literature, develop a solution to the problem or issue. The solution might be developed in the form of a curriculum, a workshop, a set of informational materials, a website, an article for publication or other appropriate educational product. This option is completed with a final oral presentation and placement of the final paper in the Lindell Library. Additional terms beyond those in which the courses are completed are available through continuing registration for up to seven semesters. 38 Performance Assessment/Teacher Leadership Degree Completion Option (Minimum 33 credits) This degree completion option focuses on the theme of the MAE degree program - teacher leadership - and requires a minimum of the following four classes: One ML leadership-focused course EDC 570 - Teacher Leadership EDC 514 - Research Methods (ML 514 can be substituted if necessary) EDC 594 - Performance Assessment Project Students electing this degree completion option do so because they are especially interested in considering leadership within the context of education and themselves as potential change agents. EDC 594 must be taken as the last course in this sequence. Students finish their degree through this option with the successful completion of these four classes. Alternate Settings—MAE in Rochester In step with Augsburg University’s excellent reputation in the field of education, the Master of Arts in Education program is also offered in Rochester, MN. Licenses are available in elementary education and special education: ABS. Classes primarily meet weekday evenings and summer at Bethel Lutheran Church in Rochester. Elementary education The K-6 elementary education license allows students to teach in grade K-6. Augsburg University offers this license at the graduate level to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet admissions requirements. Courses for this license are available in Rochester. Special education The K-12 Academic Behavior Specialist (ABS) program is designed for students currently working with or planning to work with students with mild to moderate special needs. The program leads to Minnesota teaching licensure in special education and the ability to work with students whose special needs are categorized as EBD, LD, DCD, ASD, and/or OHI. All courses for these licenses are available in Rochester. The Performance Assessment degree completion option is offered in Rochester as needed, typically every other year. MAL Elective Courses At least one elective must be taken from the Master of Arts in Leadership courses. The following are recommended, but others may also be used.

Admission as an International Student International applicants must submit the required application materials listed above. Refer to the additional requirements outlined in Admission of International Students. Transfer Policy Acceptance of previous education coursework completed at institutions other than Augsburg University is limited. Most courses that have not been completed in the last seven years are considered to be too old to transfer and need to be completed as part of one’s program at Augsburg. EDC 310/533 - Learning and Development, EDC 220 - Education Technology, and ESE 3XX - K-12/5-12 Special Methods in Content Area are courses which may have a shorter acceptance time frame. Additional information on the transfer policy is available through the Education Department. Credit Evaluation: An official transfer credit evaluation of previous academic work will be completed as part of the admissions process. Education coursework is evaluated by the Education Department. For secondary licenses, content area coursework is evaluated by the content area department. This process is initiated as part of the admissions process. Generally, the requirement for secondary licensure is that two or more classes in the content area must be taken at Augsburg, even with an undergraduate major in the field. In all cases, previous undergraduate courses must have received a grade of C or better to be eligible for transfer. Previous graduate coursework must have received a grade of B or better to be considered. Acceptance into the MAE Program Application files are reviewed by the MAE director. Applicants are notified of the admission decision by the Office of Admissions, usually within one to two weeks after the application file is complete. Applicants whose cumulative undergraduate GPA is below 2.5 will not be admitted into the MAE program; however, these applicants can be reconsidered when additional undergraduate coursework raises the cumulative undergraduate GPA to 2.5 or above. An exception to this occurs when the applicant has completed an advanced degree with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better. Under these circumstances, the applicant can be considered for full admission into the MAE degree and licensure programs. 40 Advising and Registration Admitted students are able to participate in academic advising and the registration process. Typically, first-term registration occurs with intake advising. After the first term, students generally are able to register online through Records and Registration. All students are assigned an Education Department faculty advisor early in the first semester of courses. Academic Policies Application to the Education Department Once accepted to the University and the MAE program, students may take designated courses in education and content areas. Prior to beginning the methods courses within a program, students must be admitted to the Education Department. This admissions process is outlined in the EDC 200/522 - Orientation to Education and in admissions handbooks, which are available through the Education Department. Academic Achievement All MAE students are expected to achieve and maintain 3.0 or better GPA in their Augsburg course work. Students whose cumulative GPA falls between 2.5 and 2.99 at the end of their licensure program are able to complete the license but are not eligible for the degree. Students with cumulative GPA’s below 2.5 may not student teach and are subject to academic probation and possible dismissal. In all cases, a cumulative GPA on the Augsburg graduate transcript must be at 3.0 or better to be admitted to the degree completion component of the MAE degree. Students who are ready to begin the degree completion component must file an Intent to Complete form (available through the MAE coordinator) at which point a transcript review is completed to confirm the 3.0 or better GPA and to determine the completed courses that apply to the degree and the courses that remain. Minimum Grade Policy Students who fail to maintain a cumulative 2.5 GPA in a given term are notified that they must raise their GPA to the required level. Students who receive below a C in any undergraduate course or B- in any graduate course required for licensure are expected to repeat the course as soon as possible and raise the grade to the appropriate level. Dismissal from Licensure and Degree Program Students may be dismissed from the licensure program prior to and during student teaching for failure to maintain appropriate academic and teaching-based performance standards, for gross violation of University policy, and/or for conduct in violation of professional ethics. Dismissal occurs within the context of established department procedures described in the Education Department Handbook available through the Education Department. Students have the right to appeal dismissal from the licensure program on the grounds of procedural error, using the University’s program dismissal appeals process. Information about the program dismissal appeals process is available in the Augsburg Student Guide. Students who fail to complete the license may have the option to finish the degree. Fieldwork Requirements Fieldwork experiences are tied to several licensure courses. In most cases, these experiences are conducted within a service-learning framework, providing service to the school and classroom while also providing students’ opportunities for focused reflection linked back to course objectives. In general, students should plan for a minimum of 20 hours field experience per term. When multiple courses with field experience are taken in the same term, the requirements expand accordingly. Students in field experiences are evaluated by their host K-12 teachers on the basis of criteria drawn from the Minnesota Standards of Effective Practice. Evaluations are kept in the students’ Education Department files and used in decisions regarding progress through the program and student teaching. A full description of field experience requirements is available in the Education Department Handbook. 41 Readmission and Withdrawal Students in good standing who fail to register for courses for two terms (not including summer) are withdrawn from the MAE program. To be readmitted to the University and the MAE program, students file a Readmission form through the Registrar’s Office. Program Costs In addition to tuition, students in this program can expect to pay a data maintenance fee upon admission to the department, as well as liability insurance at the student rate during student teaching and the cost of a background check for licensure and, possibly, field experience. In addition, optional international travel courses have associated costs above and beyond the charge for tuition. Full-time Faculty Joseph A. Erickson, Professor of Education.

Organizations seek leaders who possess:      An ethically and morally responsible vision An understanding of how change occurs and how it can be managed A sensitivity to the complex problems of organizations and an ability to find solutions consistent with their mission Cultural competence and sensitivity to the needs of a diverse population The ability to inspire and motivate people to work toward a common goal The Augsburg leadership development model provides a framework through which the program recruits its students and develops their skills. Program Overview The study of leadership is central to Augsburg University. The University mission statement says, “Augsburg University educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.” The Master of Arts in Leadership is quintessentially Augsburg. The integrated liberal arts perspective on leadership education is what we think of as the “Augsburg difference.” The Master of Arts in Leadership is the core program of Augsburg’s Center for Leadership Studies (CLS). Developed and launched in 1987, it is Augsburg’s oldest graduate degree and one of the oldest leadership graduate degrees in the United States. The program responds to the leadership development needs of both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. MAL has a deep theoretical base in leadership studies, yet also offers its students practical approaches to leadership that can be applied in the workplace and society. Leadership Development Model The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that:    Inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources Promotes productivity within and beyond the organization Works toward progress for the individual and the organization To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to persuade, and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are abilities and awareness, outlined in the Leadership Development Model, which serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg’s model of leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the individual. Learning Goals and Outcomes The MAL program is designed to support students in developing the knowledge and skills to:       Explore the nature and practice of leadership in a wide variety of dynamic organizational and community settings Develop a personal understanding and philosophy of leadership Aspire to be responsible leaders who are informed citizens, critical thinkers, and thoughtful stewards Enhance knowledge of self and the capacity to be reflective learners Analyze and navigate increasingly complex changing environments Formulate and articulate a shared vision in order to inspire others to achieve desired goals 43 MAL Courses Each course encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners. Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity. These techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative abilities. Plan of Study Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL program is based on the assumption that the students who enroll are career-oriented, self-disciplined, and well-motivated individuals seeking a balance of classroom experience, group interaction, and individual study. Courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for discussion and dialogue. The program features classes taught by faculty from multiple disciplines and offers two formats to allow students to choose the option that works best for them. Both formats offer a combination of classroom and online learning styles in different proportions. The classic classroom format emphasizes face-to-face instruction augmented by online work. The integrated hybrid format combines online and intensive learning experiences with occasional sessions in a traditional classroom setting. Two Convenient Formats: Classic Classroom and Integrated Hybrid Overview of Classic Classroom Format For nearly 30 years, our classic classroom format has featured a flexible choice model that allows students to select courses that focus on individual goals, interests, and learning style. Students can also determine the pace at which they move through the program. This format offers numerous electives and allows for individualized studies. Some online work is incorporated into this format. Schedule During fall and spring semesters, classes usually meet every other Saturday morning or afternoon for four hours. Additional instruction time is provided online. Seven Saturday sessions are included in one semester. Some select classes meet on Monday evenings. Students can take a combination of Saturday and Monday courses. A sample class schedule in the classic classroom format: Period I Saturday 8:00 am to 12:00 pm Period II Saturday 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm Period III Weeknights 6:00 pm to 9:45 pm Note: Each class taken commits a student to Period I, Period II, or Period III, an average of two meetings a month. A few courses are taught on an immersion model, which features fewer but longer sessions. The MAL program also offers summer semester courses in seven-week, fourteen-week, or special immersion formats. Most summer semester courses meet on weeknights from 6:00 pm to 9:45 pm rather than on Saturdays. Curriculum Three core courses: ML 505 - Foundations of Leadership ML 514 - Evaluating Empirical Research ML 585 - Integrating the Theory and Practice of Responsible Leadership (Capstone Course) 44 Eight electives, selected from more than 20 offerings* *Students may petition the program to do a thesis in place of two of the elective courses. Students who do the thesis are required to develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of leadership or of a leadership-related topic and register for ML 592 Thesis Consultation I and ML 593 Thesis Consultation II.

MBA/MAL Dual Degree The dual degree program takes advantage of the intellectual benefits of studying business administration and leadership in a coordinated program. It leverages Augsburg’s long tradition of graduate leadership training via the MA in Leadership with the robust demand for business education through our MBA program. The dual degree provides students with the leadership skills needed to run a business and, at the same time, helps them develop the comprehensive outlook they need to thrive in today’s interconnected world. A minimum of 18 Augsburg courses completes the MBA/MA in Leadership dual degree, including at least 7 MBA courses and 7 MA in Leadership courses. The following dual degree program requirements must be met. Seven courses are required from MBA courses:  MBA 510 – Applied Managerial Economics  MBA 520 – Accounting for Business Managers  MBA 530 – Managerial Finance  MBA 540 – Business and Professional Ethics  MBA 550 – Marketing Management  MBA 570 – Quantitative Decision Making for Managers  MBA 580 – Management Consulting Project Three core courses are required from MA in Leadership courses with 3 MAL elective courses:  ML 505 – Foundations of Leadership  ML 514 – Evaluating Empirical Research  ML 585 -- Integrating the Theory and Practice of Responsible Leadership  ML Electives (4) Three Focus Area Courses Students will choose one course from each of the focus areas: Focus Area #1: Organizational Development  MBA 545 – Organizational Behavior  ML 535 – Organization Theory and Leadership  Director approved course with organizational development focus 46 Focus Area #2: Global/Multicultural Perspective  MBA 565 – Managing in a Global Environment  ML 560 – Cultural Competence and Effective Leadership  ML 563 – Leadership in a Global Society  Director approved course with global/multicultural focus Focus Area #3: Strategic Leadership  MBA 595 – Strategic Management  ML 574 – Strategic Leadership  Director approved course with strategic leadership focus One Additional Elective Course Elective course may be taken in either MBA or MA in Leadership Program Admission to the Dual Degree Program Admission for the dual degree program is handled on a “rolling” basis and requires applicants to hold a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited four-year college or university. Official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions are required as well as a current résumé and two recommendations. An interview with the program director is also part of the admissions process. Although we do accept the GMAT and GRE, we also offer candidates an alternative math and writing profile assessment entitled the Individual Learning Profile (ILP) which provides a picture of candidate’s math and writing (verbal) competency detailing strengths and areas of improvement. The profile is not an admissions screening instrument and will be used as a platform to develop a skills improvement plan for students should they need it. Earning the dual degree during or after the MBA or MA in Leadership program Students who are currently enrolled in the MBA or MA in Leadership program or alumni who wish to return to Augsburg may add the dual degree to their existing degree by completing most of the same requirements listed on the front of this page. Students may use previously completed application pieces and coursework to help meet these requirements. Returning students may complete an abbreviated application form after consultation with the MBA or ML program director. Upon entering the MBA program, a quantitative online profile assessment must also be taken. This is used as a platform to enhance skills, if needed. Students with an MA in Leadership who wish to add the dual degree will take a minimum of 7 required MBA courses. Students will complete one course in each of the 3 focus areas if they did not complete these courses during their MAL program. Each student’s program will be slightly different based on their prior course selections. Students with an MBA will complete 4 required and 3 elective MA in Leadership courses. Students will need to complete one course in each of the 3 focus areas if they did not complete these courses during their MBA program. Each student’s program will be slightly different based on their prior course selections. Students in both programs will meet individually with the program directors to determine whether their completed final project meets the criteria aligned with the dual degree final project. Directors may ask that the project be modified or added to or ask the student to complete another project. These decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis. The Graduate Certificate in Leadership Studies The certificate program is an attractive option for people who want to develop their leadership skills without undertaking a full degree program. A certificate is awarded after completion of three Augsburg MAL courses in leadership. Students pursuing this option take ML 505 - Foundations of Leadership and two additional electives. All three courses may count toward an MA in leadership. No more than one course may be double counted in another Augsburg graduate degree program. The normal application process is used for students who wish to pursue the certificate. 47 Joint BA in Accounting and Master of Arts in Leadership A BA in Accounting and an MA in Leadership (MAL) can be earned in this five-year program designed for students who wish to qualify for CPA certification and obtain a master’s degree. By the end of the fifth year and successful completion of all requirements, the student receives both a BA in Accounting and an MA in Leadership and will have fulfilled the 150-hour requirement to qualify for the CPA certification. The MAL program offers a large number of courses on a Saturday and weeknight schedule. Refer to the MAL program schedule for the list of courses each year and to the accounting program coordinator for a detailed academic plan. Students should meet with both the MAL director and an accounting advisor to create an effective plan for successful completion of the five-year program. General Requirements for the Accounting/MAL Program Accounting students planning to pursue the five-year degree must apply for admission to the MAL program at the end of their junior year. The application process includes submission of:       Completed application form Two letters of recommendation (one from a professor and one from an employer) Personal statement Example of applicant’s writing in an academic paper GPA of at least 3.30 Interview with the Director of the MAL program Students must also have faculty endorsement from the Accounting program.

Vice President and Practice Area Leader, MDA Leadership Consulting Inc. 50 Master of Arts in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice Welcome to graduate nursing education at Augsburg University. Our classes are made up of students representing a dynamic mix of cultures, spiritual traditions, and life-ways. It is exciting for us to offer experienced nurses transforming educational opportunities and engaging transcultural encounters that expand career choices and advance nursing practice. The increasing diversity of our population today challenges all of us to respond to individual health care needs with creativity and competence in a variety of emerging care settings. The Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN) program is designed to prepare nurses for those evolving contexts of care. Students can choose between two tracks of study: Transcultural Nursing and Transformational Nursing Leadership. Each track of study emphasizes leadership skills, interprofessional collaboration and ways to serve persons in a variety of care settings. The post-master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program prepares nurses for innovative health leadership and advanced nursing practice at local and system-wide levels. Drawing on a transcultural nursing (TCN) foundation, the DNP-TCN curriculum embraces integrative health care and holistic nursing practice to maximize health for individuals and communities. Emphasis is on eliminating health inequities through peaceful, just, and collaborative actions that uphold and improve human potential. Students design their own scholarly paths defined by their unique gifts, interests, and practice goals. Throughout the DNP-TCN program, there are a range of opportunities for collaboration across cultures, socio-economic strata and care systems. The post-BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) to DNP/Family Nurse Practitioner (DNP/FNP) track of study prepares nurses for advanced nursing leadership and integrative primary care of families across cultures and care settings. Using transcultural nursing as a foundation, the DNP/FNP curriculum embraces integrative healthcare and holistic nursing practice. The curriculum emphasizes knowledge, skills and values that foster one’s ability to lead change, while addressing health needs and concerns of families and communities. Nursing scholarship and advanced autonomous practice frame the critical exploration of knowledge in transcultural nursing, integrative healthcare practices, transformational leadership, and health assessment. Classes in both the DNP and MAN programs are offered on the Augsburg campus and at Bethel Lutheran Church in Rochester, MN, where our learning site is located. Class formats vary: face-to-face, video conferencing or immersions with on-line components. Program faculty and staff are available at both sites and eager to assist students. Joyce P. Miller, DNP, RN Lisa M. VanGetson, DNP, RN, FNP-C, APHN-BC Associate Professor Assistant Professor Chair, Department of Nursing Director, Doctor of Nursing Practice – Director, Master of Arts in Nursing Program Family Nurse Practitioner Program and Doctor of Nursing Practice Program Transcultural Nursing Track 51 Master of Arts in Nursing A master’s degree in nursing focuses on health in community life, both locally and globally, and supports students to envision new models of care across practice settings. Students select from two tracks of study—Transformational Nursing Leadership or Transcultural Nursing. Both tracks prepare nurse leaders to assume a wide variety of roles and responsibilities throughout the healthcare system and in emerging care settings in communities. Mission Within the context of liberal arts education and guided by the values of the Lutheran Church, the Master of Arts in Nursing program prepares nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural nursing practice across care settings with particular emphasis on promoting health equity locally and globally. Program Goals Graduates of the Master of Art in Nursing Program are prepared to:    Provide a foundation for the practice of transculturally competent nursing by synthesizing, integrating, and applying nursing research and theory in advanced nursing practice and leadership roles. Provide a sound scholarly foundation for transformative advanced nursing practice and leadership and further graduate study. Create and sustain a teaching-learning environment that promotes open scholarly exchange, personal growth, lifelong learning, leadership, and vocation of professional service in a global society. Program Outcomes        Students are able to synthesize, integrate, and apply nursing theory and research findings to advance nursing practice within a defined area. Students are prepared to assume leadership roles on inter-professional health care teams to coordinate, implement, and evaluate transcultural models of care. Students will apply transcultural guidelines to advocate for social justice, equity, and culturally competent practice. Scholarly exchange among students and faculty occurs through an open and supportive teaching-learning environment. Students will engage in experiential transcultural learning practica to enhance cultural competence among diverse populations. Faculty are adequately prepared to teach specific content in the master’s program. The curriculum is systematically evaluated and adapted to evolving changes in health care. Curriculum The MAN curriculum is organized into 33 semester credits –15 semester credits in a Nursing Core, in which all students enroll, and 18 semester credits in one of the two Tracks of Study. Practica are taken concurrently with most courses and are integrated throughout the program. Each semester credit of practicum is equal to 45 clock hours of practice. Students select a track of study when applying to the program, however, this is not essential until after one’s first semester. Students may study full-time (6-8 semester credits per term) or part-time (4 semester credits per term). Time to degree completion takes an average 22 months when studying full-time, and 32 months when studying part-time. Nursing Core Courses (15 semester credits) The core nursing courses integrate a strong foundation of social justice incorporating multiple ways of knowing with curricular emphasis on nursing science, art, and theory to guide practice. NUR 500 - Transcultural Health Care (3 semester credits) 52 NUR 500P - Practicum: Transcultural Health Care (1 semester credit) NUR 541 - Politics of Health (3 semester credits) NUR 541P - Practicum: Politics of Health Care (1 semester credit) NUR 505 - Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Nursing Practice (3 semester credits) NUR 505P - Practicum: Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Practice Nursing (1 semester credit) NUR 520 - Research Methods in Nursing (3 semester credits) NUR520P - Practicum: Research Methods in Nursing (1 semester credit, optional) Transformational Nursing Leadership Track (18 semester credits) The Transformational Nursing Leadership track is designed to develop nurse leaders’ ability to critically analyze, articulate, and develop effective strategies to cope with high level health care inequities. Curricular emphasis is on interprofessional collaboration across care settings. Participation in nursing leadership practica in traditional and emerging care settings adds depth and meaning to classroom dialogue. Practica also provide opportunities for students to apply knowledge and gain experience partnering with diverse care providers, populations, and communities to address health inequities in creative and relevant ways. Transformational Nursing Leadership track courses include: NUR 501 - Nursing Leadership in Complex Adaptive Systems (3 semester credits) NUR 501P - Practicum: Nursing Leadership in Complex Adaptive Systems (1 semester credit) NUR 521 - Transformational Nursing Leadership (3 semester credits) NUR 521P - Practicum: Transformational Nursing Leadership (1 semester credit) NUR 523 - Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (3 semester credits) NUR 523P - Practicum: Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (2 semester credits) NUR 525 - Graduate Field Project (3 semester credits) NUR 525P - Practicum: Graduate Field Project (2 semester credits) Students graduating from the Transformational Leadership Track of the master’s program are eligible to apply to the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for certification as a Nurse Executive, Advanced and to the Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing. Graduate Field Project in Transformational Nursing Leadership Students will fulfill their Master of Arts in Nursing through a final practice-focused project, which serves as the capstone of the master’s program. The last two classes in the curriculum–NUR 523 and NUR 525—emphasize the development and articulation of a graduate field project focused on transformational leadership. Students present their final projects in NUR 525. Transcultural Nursing Across Care Settings Track (18 semester credits) The Transcultural Nursing track in the Master of Arts in Nursing program is designed to prepare nurses for advanced practice across care settings in culturally diverse communities. The curriculum is grounded in nursing science, theoryguided practice, and transcultural principles. Emphasis is on reaching out to persons and populations that are underserved by traditional care systems and who exist outside of the social mainstream. As such, the track provides rich alternative learning opportunities for graduate students locally and internationally. Transcultural Nursing Across Care Settings track courses include: NUR 532 - Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (3 semester credits) NUR 532P – Practicum: Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (1 semester credits) NUR 530 - The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Healing (3 semester credits) NUR 530P – Practicum: The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Healing (1 semester credits) NUR 523 - Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (3 semester credits) NUR 523P – Practicum: Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (2 semester credits) NUR 525 - Graduate Field Project (3 semester credits) NUR 525P - Graduate Field Project (2 semester credits) Students graduating from the Transcultural Nursing track of the master’s program are eligible to apply to the Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing. 53 Graduate Field Project in Transcultural Nursing Students will fulfill their Master of Arts in Nursing through a final practice-focused project, which serves as the capstone of the master’s program. The last two classes in the curriculum—NUR 523 and NUR 525—emphasize the development and articulation of a graduate field project focused on transcultural nursing. Students present their final projects in NUR 525. Practica Practice experience is emphasized in both tracks in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. Students earn 9 semester credits of practicum work that is equal to 405 clock hours of practice—45 clock hours per semester credit hour. Some practica are semi-structured, experiential, and led by faculty and cultural guides familiar with the communities in which the practica occur. Other practica options are student directed. Students are encouraged to immerse themselves in practice settings that serve persons underserved or excluded from mainstream health care, as emphasis in the transcultural track is on cultural diversity and health inequities across healthcare settings. Practica focusing on experiential learning with a transformational nurse leader provides students with the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of organizational dynamics and change through a complexity science paradigm. Augsburg Central Health Commons & the Inner City A unique opportunity for students to explore advanced nursing roles and new models and forms of practice is provided by the Augsburg Central Health Commons, and the Health Commons in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. Both Health Commons are nursing-led drop-in centers dedicated to serving those in need and focused on healthy individuals and communities. People from diverse backgrounds, who have health experiences grounded in wide ranging cultural contexts frequent the Health Commons for health support and reassurance. Service and care are based on respect, relationship, and collaboration that connects health and hope for all participants. Health Commons partners include Central Lutheran Church in downtown Minneapolis, Fairview Health Services, People’s Center, and the East Africa Health Project. Study Abroad and Away The Department of Nursing works closely with cultural guides and nurse mentors in various contexts of care in emerging care settings at home and abroad. The Center for Global Education is a partner with the Department of Nursing in developing and facilitating study abroad opportunities in Guatemala, Mexico, Namibia, Pine Ridge, SD, and England.. Additional collaborative partners include the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS) in Namibia. A detailed listing of practica and immersion experiences abroad and away can be found at the nursing website (www.augsburg.edu/nursing).

Students selecting part-time study take one didactic offering, one seminar and a practicum each semester. As a part-time student, completion of the program is expected to take 32 months, including completion of the DNP project. The DNP curriculum is organized into 33 semester credits comprised of didactic classes, experiential practica, and seminars, with a DNP project completing the degree. As a practice doctorate, the emphasis is on building leadership and practice skills in knowledge application among diverse population groups. The goal is to improve health and decrease health inequities that lead to unnecessary morbidity and mortality in communities. 57 Students graduating from the DNP-TCN track are eligible to apply to the Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing. Didactic A total of six didactic courses (18 semester credits) constitute the DNP program. One course equals three semester credits. The DNP courses (NUR 800 level), are taught in a variety of immersion models: one format is two days a month eight hours of class time, followed by a half-day morning seminar. Other courses are offered in an immersion format of two days of class per semester with three half-day seminars. Some of the classes will incorporate Zoom technology. Class attendance is expected and should be considered a key responsibility, not only to one’s self, but to one’s classmates and the course instructor. Classes are held on Augsburg’s campus in Minneapolis and an additional learning site in Rochester, MN, at Bethel Lutheran Church (810 3rd Ave SE). Video conferencing using Zoom technology is used for some of the classes and for distant students. However, students must be prepared to drive to Rochester and/or Minneapolis for class at least once per semester. If weather is inclement, Zoom technology is used. Practica Practica are organized to give flexibility and individual choice to students to support their increasing independence and depth of practice experience at the doctoral level. Students select practicum experiences that are either structured immersions in a variety of cultural contexts led by nursing faculty or are student initiated and individually directed experiences mentored by nursing faculty. In a 15-week semester, practicum hours are computed as follows:    1 semester credit hour = 2 semester credit hours = 3 semester credit hours = 45 clock hours of practicum time per semester 90 clock hours of practicum time per semester 135 clock hours of practicum time per semester To earn the DNP, students must complete a total of 1,000 practicum hours in their Master’s and DNP programs. Students will be allowed to transfer up to 600 practicum hours from their master’s in nursing into the Augsburg DNP. As such, all students will register for at least nine semester credits of practica in the post-master’s DNP-TCN. Study Abroad and Away The Department of Nursing works closely with cultural guides and nurse mentors in various contexts of care in emerging care settings at home and abroad. The Center for Global Education and Experience is a partner with the Department of Nursing in developing and facilitating study abroad opportunities in Guatemala, Mexico, Namibia, Pine Ridge, SD, and England. Additional collaborative partners include the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS) in Namibia. A detailed listing of practica and immersion experiences abroad and away can be found at the nursing website (www.augsburg.edu/nursing). Seminars Seminars focus on integration of conceptual learning with field practice, developing the student’s particular practice interests. Students are required to participate in a doctoral seminar every semester —fall and spring—until completion of the DNP degree. Cohorts of students who enter the DNP program together usually progress as a group in the seminars in which they enroll each semester, depending on whether they are studying full-time or part-time. The final seminar (NUR 841) culminates in the DNP project presentation and completion of the requirements for the DNP degree. Final DNP Project Final DNP projects must make a significant impact on nursing practice and health outcomes of populations and communities, demonstrate an evidence-based contribution to existing nursing knowledge, and be suitable for presentation or publication in a peer-reviewed venue. Through this scholarly project students demonstrate leadership in synthesizing and applying scientific knowledge to practice challenges in local and/or system wide contexts of care. Students should begin working on their DNP projects in the early stages of the DNP program and continue throughout the program. The student’s scholarly project is planned in collaboration with a major faculty advisor. 58 For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.

Three professional references A successful, personal interview with Augsburg Nursing faculty The number of applicants admitted to the DNP program will be limited and based on availability of faculty members who share a student’s practice interests and goals. Meeting the minimum admission criteria does not ensure that an applicant will be admitted to the program. Applicants who have graduated from a foreign nursing program, should submit their coursework for validation to the World Education Service (WES) or the National Association of Credential Evaluators (NACES) and have the reports sent directly to Augsburg University. Additionally, internationally-educated applicants may request the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) (www.cgfns.org) to forward their educational credentials report to the Minnesota State Board of Nursing. Once their credentials are verified, applicants must apply for licensure and demonstrate successful passing of the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). Nurses who have previously submitted CGFNS credential verification in a state other than Minnesota, who have passed the NCLEX, will be considered for admission and must meet the same residency requirements expected of all students. Applicants whose first language is not English must submit score evidence from TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score report of 80 on the Internet Based TOEFL (iBT) with a subscore of 20 on the written and 20 on the speaking sections. See Graduate Admissions for more information. (www.augsburg.edu/grad/international) Academic Policies Evaluation of academic performance in the DNP program will be based on letter grades. See detailed information in the Academic Programs and Policies Attendance Policy Class attendance is expected and should be considered a key responsibility, not only to one’s self, but to one’s classmates and the course instructor. Instructors may lower grades if attendance and participation is lacking. Individual 59 syllabi will contain individual instructors’ requirements. Because classes are held in Rochester and Minneapolis, students must prepare to drive to class at least once per semester. Academic Probation and Dismissal Policies Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the DNP program. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If a student receives a grade of B- or less in a course, the student must petition successfully to the faculty of the DNP program before being allowed to continue in the program. A plan for the student to follow would be outlined at that time. If a second grade of B- or less is received, the student may be dismissed from the program. Students may also be dismissed for behavior detrimental to the program, such as a gross violation of University policy as published in the Student Guide. Dismissal would occur only after established procedures were followed. Accreditation The Doctor of Nursing Practice program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).

Students will interpret and employ transcultural advocacy skills to promote health of the global community through local action. Scholarly exchange occurs among students and faculty through an open and supportive teaching-learning environment. Students will translate transcultural learning experiences and knowledge to influence current and future practice issues. Faculty are adequately prepared to teach specific content in the doctoral program. The curriculum is systematically evaluated and adapted to evolving changes in health care. Students are able to assess, treat, and manage disease process in order to promote wellness among patients and families across the lifespan. Students are eligible to apply for certification as a licensed Family Nurse Practitioner upon graduation. Program Structure The program is structured to admit students beginning each fall semester. Students take courses on a full-time basis during the completion of their 500 level courses, pre-FNP 800 level courses, and during the didactic and clinical courses in the FNP program. 61 Length of program: The Post-BSN to DNP/FNP track of study leads to eligibility for certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and requires a minimum of 83 semester credit hours, including 56 didactic credit hours and 23 clinical credit hours. Didactic A total of 19 didactic courses (56 semester credits) constitute the DNP/FNP program. Didactic classes, structured practica, and clinical experiences are taught in a variety of flexible schedules that are responsive to student needs. 500 level courses consist of six classes a semester - five hours of class time, in addition to taking a one credit practicum course associated with the didactic course. The DNP courses (NUR 800 level), are taught in a variety of immersion models: one format is two days a month - eight hours of class time for the first day and four hours the subsequent morning. Other courses are offered in an immersion format of two days of class per semester with 3 half-day seminars. The FNP courses (final two years of study) are offered on Monday and Tuesday or Thursday and Friday, approximately six times a semester, class time hours will vary from 8 to 12 hours. Web-based assignments are integrated into all classes through Moodle. Community practicum experiences may be scheduled during the class meeting days as well. Additionally, some courses may be taught in an immersion format, where students and faculty are “immersed” in a unique socio-cultural context and course content and a set number of practicum hours are condensed into seven to fourteen days. Class attendance is expected and should be considered a key responsibility, not only to one’s self, but to one’s classmates and the course instructor. Classes are held on Augsburg’s campus in Minneapolis and in Rochester, MN, at Bethel Lutheran Church (810 3rd Ave SE) the location of Augsburg’s learning site or at Hermitage Farm Center for Healing, 6415 West River Road NW, Rochester, MN. Video conferencing using Zoom technology is used for some of the classes. However, students must be prepared to drive to Rochester and/or Minneapolis for classes. If weather is inclement, Zoom technology is used. Practica (for DNP courses) / Clinicals (for FNP courses) Practica are organized to give flexibility and individual choice to students to support their increasing independence and depth of practice experience at the doctoral level. Students select practicum experiences that are either structured immersions in a variety of cultural contexts led by nursing faculty or that are student initiated and individually directed experiences mentored by nursing faculty. FNP clinical sites will be arranged by clinical faculty. In a 15-week semester, practicum hours are computed as follows:    1 semester credit hour = 45 clock hours of practicum time per semester 2 semester credit hours = 90 clock hours of practicum time per semester 3 semester credit hours = 135 clock hours of practicum time per semester To earn the DNP/FNP, students must complete a total of 1,035 practicum hours. Students will be allowed to transfer up to 400 practicum hours from their master’s in nursing. To complete the DNP/FNP, students must complete 630 clinical hours (530 hours of primary care of the adult and 100 hours of primary care of children and women’s health and 35 clinical for integrative health). As such, all students will register for at least 23 semester credits of practica. Seminars Seminars focus on integration of conceptual learning with field practice developing the student’s particular practice interest. Students are required to participate in a total of four one-semester-credit doctoral seminars during the DNP/FNP program. The final seminar culminates in the project presentation and completion of the requirements for the DNP degree.

The Augsburg MBA is a rigorous and intensive educational experience. The Augsburg MBA is practical and “hands-on,” focusing on applicable skills and knowledge designed to increase your ability to think, analyze and act. Augsburg MBA students all work on a consulting project with a local business where they apply what they’ve learned in the classroom to a real-world business problem. The Augsburg MBA also provides students a unique opportunity to investigate business cultures and practices through a faculty-led international experience. Our curriculum integrates the global experience of our faculty and reflects Augsburg’s mission of developing leaders grounded in values, purpose, and vocation. The Augsburg MBA is a proven accelerated cohort-based program focused on three learning modules: Personal and Professional Development, Quantitative Decision Making, and Value Creation, all built on a foundation of ethical decision-making. We encourage our students to challenge themselves, their classmates and professors to bring a new and expanded focus of the world through guided reflection and examination. Augsburg MBA students are chosen because they exhibit purpose and direction in their careers and lives, and positive engagement with their community and associates. Our MBA graduates make a difference. We invite you to become part of a growing community of Augsburg MBA alumni. Bruce E. Batten, Ph.D. Director, Master of Business Administration Program MBA Mission - “Prepare Students for Meaningful Work” Our mission is to prepare students for meaningful work by developing their decision-making skills, critical thinking and by transforming them into effective managers and leaders in service to others. The program aspires to provide an outstanding student-centered education that produces graduates who are critically astute, technically proficient, and who understand the moral and ethical consequences of their decisions on their organization and on the world. Accreditation The Augsburg MBA is a candidate for accreditation with the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). Augsburg is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the listing in the Accreditation, Approvals, and Memberships section. MBA Program Overview Today’s business leader must be able to quickly analyze situations and information and critically analyze alternatives and courses of action. The purpose of the Augsburg MBA is to prepare students to accept greater responsibility in organizations facing this dynamic and fast-evolving business culture. The curriculum of the MBA gives students the ability to think critically and ethically as they face the increased challenges of a global business environment. Quality, individual initiative, ethics, and teamwork are hallmarks of the Augsburg MBA. We have a commitment to continually improve students’ experiences and learning in the program. Our faculty is uniquely qualified to bridge theory and realworld application, giving MBA students opportunities to acquire skills and knowledge in a variety of disciplines. Plan of Study The Augsburg MBA is an accelerated, evening program that allows working professionals to complete an MBA degree in approximately 24 months. This is accomplished by using a cohort model in which students follow a predetermined schedule with classes meeting one night a week. Students in a cohort program model stay together as a group through the sequence of classes for the duration of the program. This provides a continuous, collaborative learning process. The cohort environment fosters a cohesive learning community where students learn from each another, mentor each other, and peer coach. You’ll share diverse 66 professional expertise and experience as you work in teams on projects, case studies, presentations, and simulations, both inside and outside of class. Working both individually and in small groups enables you to enhance your strengths, build your skills, expand your business acumen, and improve your decision-making. Together as a community you’ll build personal, social, and academic abilities. Adult learners bring a wealth of work and personal life experiences with them into the classroom, multiplying the opportunities for learning. The personal connections and relationships you build with fellow students and faculty will extend into an important and valuable network as you take your career to new levels. Credit for Prior Learning Up to nine credits may be waived through prior business coursework (with director/faculty approval) or certain professional credentials (with appropriate documentation). Consult the MBA program office for details. Students who have passed the Certified Public Accountants (CPA) or Certified Management Accountants (CMA) exam may be waived from MBA 520, Accounting for Managers. Students with prior academic coursework that meets the following criteria may be waived from eligible core courses.  Completion of at least two undergraduate courses covering corresponding Augsburg MBA core course material (See department for Equivalency details).  The most recent of the undergraduate courses was taken within the past five years and a second course within seven years.  A grade of B (or 3.0 on 4 point scale) or higher was earned in any course considered for a course waiver.  Course(s) must be taken at an approved, regionally-accredited institution.  Acceptance of core course waivers implies the student accepts the responsibility for having the essential knowledge and understanding of the core course material, and is properly prepared for any future core or elective course for which the waived course was a prerequisite. Academic credit is not awarded for any waived course, nor will the course appear on academic transcripts. Academic Calendar The Augsburg MBA is designed as a year-round program. Courses are offered during fall, spring, and summer semesters. Courses are offered consecutively during each term so students are able to concentrate on one subject at a time. The program is designed to have students take at least two courses per term. Official academic calendars and the MBA registration policies can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. The unique cohort model of the Augsburg MBA requires individual schedules for each cohort. These schedules are provided by the MBA department. The Faculty-Led International Experience Each year, all current MBA students are offered the opportunity to participate in a faculty-led international experience. This trip is taken in conjunction with either of these courses: MBA 565 - Managing in a Global Environment or MBA 595 Strategic Management. Students will travel as a group to an international location, visit businesses, participate in faculty lectures, and learn about the culture and traditions of the countries visited. Each MBA student should have two opportunities during their matriculation in the program to participate. Costs can vary; but as a minimum, trips normally include tuition (for the course selected), lodging, and travel in-country, as well as some meals. Program Requirements The Augsburg MBA requires 42 semester credits for degree completion. Augsburg MBA courses are three semester credits each. Each three semester credit course consists of 28-32 hours of in-class instruction and 5 ½ - 9 ½ hours of online instruction per week through a web-based electronic course management system.

Academic Evaluation The grading scale used for the evaluation of academic performance in the MBA program is an A-F scale, with the exception of MBA580, which is pass/no pass only. For complete information on grading and evaluation, see Academic Programs and Policies. Withdrawal from Class For information regarding the last date on which students may withdraw from a class and receive a “W” on their records, refer to the academic calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Attendance Policies Student attendance at scheduled class meetings is a priority and required. However, MBA faculty understand that MBA students are working adults with significant responsibilities who, on occasion, face unforeseen situations that may interfere with attendance. Students should notify the faculty member teaching the course as soon as possible. When the student knows in advance of a class date where a potential conflict exists, they must discuss the proposed missed class with the faculty member prior to the date of the class. Students are responsible for the work covered during that class session and for making appropriate arrangements for obtaining handouts, lecture content, or other materials. Faculty members may assign appropriate independent work to insure that the student understands the material covered during the class session. If appropriate and acceptable coordination is carried out by the student, there need not be any grade reduction for a single missed class session. This may be dependent on assignments due on the date of the missed class; e.g., final project presentations or team presentations. Point/grade reductions for unexcused absences are the prerogative of the faculty. Two missed class sessions, excused or unexcused, may be grounds for directing the student to withdraw from the course. More than two absences, excused or unexcused, require that a student withdraw from the class. Degree Requirements To be conferred the MBA degree, students must achieve the following:    Passing score on all modules of MBA math (http://mbamath.com/). MBA math contains modules in accounting, economics, finance, statistics, and spreadsheets Successful completion of MBA courses with a grade of B or above No more than two courses with a grade of B- or below, and with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher at the completion of the program MBA Faculty Jeanne M.

Program Overview Summer Residencies The Augsburg Low-Residency MFA includes 10-day summer residencies on the Augsburg campus in Minneapolis, offering daily workshops, readings, and panels that focus on literary craft as well as career skills in teaching, editing, publishing, book arts, marketing, translation, and adaptation. The full degree program includes three summer residencies, featuring visits by distinguished writers in each genre as well as editors, agents, publishers, and literary entrepreneurs. Fall and Spring Semesters The first two residencies are followed each year by fall and spring off-campus semesters. During those terms, students work with faculty mentors in virtual classrooms that make use of online and other technologies. Each semester, MFA candidates enroll in one Mentorship section and one section of Critical and Creative Reading. Although MFA learning objectives call for demonstrated expertise in at least one genre by graduation, twenty-first century writers compose their work in an environment in which genre has permeable boundaries and lines between genres are often erased. With this in mind, cross-genre work will be encouraged, with students working in a genre other than the declared specialty, usually during the second off-campus semester. Owing to a revision in the curriculum, those students beginning the program in Summer of 2016 will take a combined mentorship and reading course during each fall and spring semester. During their final year of long-distance study, they will also take two two-unit courses: in one they will write a paper on some element of the craft of writing; in the other they will work on and complete their thesis. Semester Mentorships The Mentorship is a one-on-one experience with a faculty mentor who guides the student’s production of work and study of craft. This one-on-one creative studio experience is focused on the MFA candidate’s own writing and growth as a writer. Critical and Creative Reading in an Online Classroom This is a reading-as-writers course that provides an opportunity to work with your professor and a community of peers, considering craft, criticism and aesthetics. Meetings are online in the electronic classroom. The format may include online discussion boards, Skype or video chats, and teleconferences with mentors and fellow learners. The online classroom offers an opportunity to continue conversations begun during the residency with members of the MFA community. Genres and Concentrations Genres include Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, Poetry, Screenwriting and Playwriting. The program also includes concentrations in teaching, translation, and publishing. Concentrations require additional coursework. With the program director’s consent, students may enroll in concentration courses simultaneously with MFA studies. Candidates enrolled in the publishing concentration will be the staff of the publishing house Howling Bird Press and will select and publish one book each year. The book prize is open to submissions nationally. 72 Plan of Study Students may select a completion plan for the MFA:      The Traditional plan. Students choose one genre as the designated field of study but areis encouraged to work outside the designated field of study for one term. Extended Study. Designed for students who wish to prolong their studies in a single genre, this option has students completing at least five mentored and reading terms instead of the standard four. At least four of these terms should be used to study the student’s declared genre. Mixed Genre. Designed for students who want to more deeply immerse themselves in a secondary genre, this option has students completing at least five mentored and reading terms, including three in the student’s primary declared genre and two in a different genre. Post-MFA. Designed for students who already have an MFA, this option allows students to drop into the program for a single residency or semester of study — or longer. Students seeking this option should contact the program director, as his approval is required. Career Concentration. Designed for students who wish to better prepare themselves for the job market, this option allows students to enroll in electives in teaching, translation and/or publishing. This work is completed alongside a traditional or extended/mixed genre course of study, or pursued immediately after completing the MFA. Accommodating Writers Who Work Full-Time and Those Who Live Outside of Minnesota Augsburg’s Traditional MFA in Creative Writing can be completed in eleven courses (three summer residencies and four off-campus electronic semesters of two courses each). Those students beginning summer of 2016 can complete the program in nine courses (three summer residencies, four long-distance mentorship and reading courses, a craft paper course, and a thesis course.) A typical plan of study in the Traditional Low-Residency MFA, will work like this: First Year Summer Residency I, including genre workshops, writing seminars, readings and lectures, ten days on the Minneapolis campus, with assignments before and after residency. Fall Semester I, a combined Mentorship studio and Creative and Critical Reading course. Spring Semester I, a combined Mentorship studio and Creative and Critical Reading course (generally the “out-ofgenre” term). Second Year Summer Residency II, including genre workshops, writing seminars, readings and lectures, ten days on the Minneapolis campus, with assignments before and after residency. Fall Semester II, a combined Mentorship studio and Creative and Critical Reading course and a craft paper course. Students complete a craft paper at this point. Spring Semester II, a combined Mentorship studio and Creative and Critical Reading course and a thesis units course. This is the semester during which students complete a thesis and prepare a lecture/presentation for their final residency. Third Year – Residency Only Summer Residency III, including genre workshop, writing seminars, readings and lectures. Final term for graduating MFA candidates. Graduates give a public lecture/presentation and a reading from thesis work. Ten days on the Minneapolis campus, with assignments before and after residency. 73 Coursework: ENL 531 Residency in Creative Writing: Fiction ENL 532 Residency in Creative Writing: Nonfiction ENL 533 Residency in Creative Writing: Poetry ENL 534 Residency in Creative Writing: Screenwriting ENL 535 Residency in Creative Writing: Playwriting ENL 536 Residency in Creative Writing: Multi-Genre ENL 541 Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading: Fiction ENL 542 Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading: Nonfiction ENL 543 Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading: Poetry ENL 544 Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading: Screenwriting ENL 545 Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading: Playwriting ENL 546 Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading: Multi-Genre ENL 547 Craft Paper: Fiction ENL 548 Craft Paper: Nonfiction ENL 549 Craft Paper: Poetry ENL 550 Craft Paper: Screenwriting ENL 551 Craft Paper: Playwriting ENL 552 Craft Paper: Multi-Genre ENL 553 Thesis: Fiction ENL 554 Thesis: Nonfiction ENL 555 Thesis: Poetry ENL 556 Thesis: Screenwriting ENL 557 Thesis: Playwriting ENL 558 Thesis: Multi-Genre ENL 561 Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading - Half-time: Fiction ENL 562 Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading - Half-time: Nonfiction ENL 563 Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading - Half-time: Poetry ENL 564 Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading - Half-time: Screenwriting ENL 565 Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading - Half-time: Playwriting ENL 566 Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading - Half-time: Multi-Genre Concentrations: ENL 525 - Teaching Writing: Practice and Theory ENL 526 - Literary Translation Practicum ENL 527 - Publishing I ENL 528 - Publishing II For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.

Transfer Augsburg’s low-residency MFA includes in-person and online elements that help us maintain a strong community and create a culture in which our writers thrive. This studio degree is the terminal degree in writing and because of the unique features of a terminal, low-residency, studio degree, the final decision on transfer credit will depend on review by the Augsburg University MFA Program. A maximum of eight semester credits from traditional residency MFA programs and from MA programs in creative writing or English literature may be accepted. The MFA Program Director will review and may offer up to four additional credits in transfer for equivalent residency or workshop experience completed in another program. The maximum transfer credits allowed is 12 credits. Academic Evaluation Grading The MFA Program uses fine arts studio grading practices, formative in nature and designed to be an element of the teaching curriculum. A narrative transcript composed of comments on those elements that the particular student writer is working on during a particular term will be used to assess progress in the mentorship courses. These are formative and qualitative assessment elements and professors’ responses will vary as professor/artists and student/artists approach student work with the student’s individual artistic aims in mind. In addition to the fine arts formative and 75 qualitative assessment, students will be assessed in light of their success in meeting learning objectives of the course while completing work assigned. MFA in Creative Writing Courses are graded on a Pass/No Credit basis, using the Augsburg graduate grading model scale as described below: P – Represents work at B or higher and meets acceptable standards. N – No credit, not counted in grade point average. Alignment of Course Outcomes MFA courses are aligned with the Program Hallmarks of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP), the national professional organization for writing programs and the writers who teach in those programs. Participation Students are expected to fully participate in Summer Residencies, attending workshop sessions and scheduled meetings with mentors as well as a majority of readings, lectures and other scheduled sessions. Participation in off-campus coursework is expected to occur during the designated time for each Mentorship studio critique session and “time away” for creative work. Students are also expected to take part in synchronous and asynchronous sessions with mentors and demonstrate “presence” in the Creative and Critical Reading courses through regularly scheduled exchanges with faculty and peers. Academic Honesty Augsburg’s high expectations for academic honesty will be applied to this class. Please refer to the Student Guide at inside.augsburg.edu/studentaffairs/studentguide/academic-honest-policies if you have any questions. Affiliation The Augsburg University MFA Program is a member of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP) and curriculum is based on the AWP Hallmarks of an Effective Low Residency MFA Program in Creative Writing.

Students are well educated in current medical theory and practice, and graduates are encouraged to work in primary care settings. The program promotes dedication to excellence in performance, with the highest standards of ethics and integrity, and commitment to lifelong personal and professional development. Accreditation The Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) has granted Continued Accreditation to the Physician Assistant Program sponsored by Augsburg University. Continued accreditation is an accreditation status granted when a currently accredited program is in compliance with the ARC-PA Standards. Continued Accreditation remains in effect until the program closes or withdraws from the accreditation process or until accreditation is withdrawn for failure to comply with the Standards. The approximate date for the next comprehensive review of the program by ARC-PA will be Spring 2019. About PA As defined by the American Academy of Physician Assistants: “PAs are health professionals licensed or, in the case of those employed by the federal government, credentialed to practice medicine in association with designated collaborating physicians. PAs are qualified by graduation from an accredited PA educational program and/or certification by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants ... Within the physician-PA relationship, PAs provide patient-centered medical care services as a member of a healthcare team. PAs practice with defined levels of autonomy and exercise independent medical decision making within their scope of practice.” In the state of Minnesota, a PA is licensed with the Board of Medical Practice. In Minnesota, and most other states, the PA must be NCCPA (National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants) certified and hold a delegation agreement with a licensed physician. Curriculum The Physician Assistant program at Augsburg is 28 months long with studies beginning each year in the summer semester (late May or early June). The program accepts up to 30 students for each new class. Graduates will receive a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies and a PA certificate. Approximately 16 months of the program is didactic, or classroom work, including courses in human gross anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical medicine, pharmacotherapy, history and physical exam skills, research, and professional issues. The academic phase of the program also includes development of practical skills through the use of case studies, simulated patients, and technical skills workshops (i.e. suturing, casting/splinting). The clinical phase is completed in approximately 12 months. The clinical phase of the program is designed to effectively train students for practice by providing them with rotation experiences in different specialties and a variety of practice settings. To that end, each student will be required to complete rotations outside the metropolitan area. Each student is required to successfully complete clinical rotations in family medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, behavioral health, emergency medicine, internal medicine, surgery, and two elective rotations by choosing from various specialties. The clinical phase will culminate with a preceptorship that is designed to solidify the student’s skills and potentially place them in a setting that might be interested in recruiting a graduate PA. Clinical instructors include Physicians, Physician Assistants and other health care providers. 81 A student will be required to complete the clinical phase at site(s) determined by the Program to provide the student with the best educational experience. Clinical rotation sites will be located throughout the state of MN and other cities in the 5 state area. The Augsburg PA program includes time away from the program at varying times which may or may not differ from the traditional breaks at Augsburg University; these breaks contribute to the overall 28 month length of the program.

The following are strongly recommended but not required:     Direct patient care is the best type of experience to obtain in order to strengthen an application. We recommend at least 2000 hours of paid, direct, hands-on clinical patient care to be competitive in this category. Additional science courses such as anatomy, genetics, immunology, other biology courses, and organic chemistry Demonstration of motivation for the PA profession by formally shadowing a PA or other health care provider. Demonstration of a commitment to, and involvement with, underserved communities Note: The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is not required. PA Studies Application Process The Augsburg Physician Assistant Studies program has a two-step application process—applying through CASPA and to Augsburg’s PA Studies Program. The Augsburg PA Program participates in the Centralized Application Service for Physician Assistants (CASPA) which is sponsored by the Physician Assistant Education Association (PAEA). All applications to the PA Program for the entering class must be processed through CASPA, following all guidelines and regulations set forth by CASPA. Application forms with detailed instructions can be obtained online at portal.caspaonline.org. 83 You will be considered an eligible applicant if you have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 at the time of application (as calculated by CASPA), if you have a minimum science GPA of 3.0 at the time of application (as calculated by CASPA), if you have completed or will complete your undergraduate degree prior to the start date of the program, and if you have completed or will complete your prerequisite courses within the timeline specified for your degree status. Additional Application Details: The Augsburg PA Program requires three letters of recommendation submitted through the CASPA process. We strongly recommend that one be from an employer/colleague (a professional reference), one letter be from a professor or adviser (an academic reference), and the third from a person of your choice. Be sure that your letter writers are able to tell the committee about you as well as his/her experiences with you and observations about you. Your Supplemental Application must be submitted electronically on or before August 1 in order to be considered. We use the CASPA “Complete Date” to determine if you have met the application deadline of August 1. The “Complete Date” on your application must be August 1 or prior in order to be considered meeting the deadline. CASPA assigns a “Complete Date’ when they have received your electronic application, transcripts from all schools attended, 2 of your 3 letters of reference, and payment. Until those criteria are met, your application will not be given a “Complete Date.” Your GPA (cumulative and science) is set at the time of your CASPA submission. The Augsburg PA Program will not recalculate GPAs as additional coursework is completed post CASPA submission. We will request grade reports for your prerequisite courses and add them to your file as they are completed, but your official GPA, as calculated by CASPA, will be the GPA of record for your application. Selection Process Competitive files will be reviewed by the admissions committee. The selection committee looks for a balanced application by reviewing key criteria such as cumulative GPA, science GPA, and direct patient care experience followed by overall academic record, service to underserved (meaning disadvantaged, minority, or underrepresented populations), essay responses, knowledge of the profession, fit with the program goals and mission, and recommendation letters. As the committee completes file review, candidates are selected for an interview. The interviews are generally conducted during the months of October, November, and January. Candidates come to campus to meet program faculty, staff and current students, and to view the facilities. As interviews are completed, seats in the incoming class are offered. The cohort class will be filled between the months of October and May. A list of alternates will be selected in January to fill seats that accepted candidates may not claim.

Regarding disabled individuals, the Physician Assistant Studies department will not discriminate against such individuals who are otherwise qualified but will expect all applicants and students to meet certain minimal technical standards. All Augsburg students have been accepted by the college based on their ability to succeed academically and are required to meet the same academic and technical standards. Disability Resources (CLASS Office) provides academic support and accommodations to students with disabilities or temporary conditions. Accessing accommodations is an ongoing and interactive process where information can be gathered from the student and from other relevant sources. We ask that students interview with a Disability Specialist to discuss their requests. We prefer students to present any documentation that describes their disability and the impact on educational experiences and in the educational environment early in the process. Each student’s requests will be evaluated on an individual basis. The purpose of documentation is to assist in providing information and understanding about how the courses or facilities might present barriers and to what degree the disability affects the student, and to plan for accommodations to facilitate access. Some Examples of Disabilities       Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD) Learning Disabilities Psychiatric Disabilities Autism Spectrum Disorders Head Injury/Traumatic Brain Injury Physical Disabilities and Systemic Illnesses 86     Deafness/Hearing Impairment Blindness/Low Vision Disabilities that are sporadic or degenerative in nature Temporary conditions The first step in accessing services is to call CLASS to schedule an appointment with a Disability Specialist, (612) 3301053. Experiential Learning Policy The Augsburg Physician Assistant Program does not award academic credit to an individual for experiential learning. Applicants desiring admission to Augsburg’s PA Program must satisfactorily complete all prerequisite courses. Experiential learning will be considered separately from prerequisite courses. Experiential learning prior to and during admittance to the Augsburg PA Program will not substitute for any part of the clinical phase. Employment while in the Program Program faculty discourage outside employment while in the Physician Assistant Program. Faculty recognize that employment may be an issue that some students will face. Given this recognition, realize that program obligations will not be altered due to a student’s work obligations. It is further expected that work obligations will not interfere with the physician assistant students’ learning progress or responsibilities while in the program. Withdrawal and Readmission Policies Voluntary withdrawal from the Physician Assistant Program may be initiated by a student after submission of a letter to the Program Director requesting withdrawal. In the letter, the student should outline the circumstances and reasons for withdrawal. Students will be requested to conduct an exit interview with the Program Director prior to leaving the program. For information on withdrawal, see the Academic Policies section. Readmission Students may request readmission after voluntary withdrawal by submitting a letter to the Program Director stating the reasons the student wishes readmission and the anticipated date for readmission. The submission of a letter and previous enrollment does not constitute automatic acceptance and/or reentry into the program. Reapplication to the PA Program after dismissal from the program will be considered only under extremely unusual circumstances. For the full readmission policy and reapplication process, please contact the program. Advanced Placement The Department of PA Studies does not offer advanced placement to admitted students.

The social work profession offers you the rewarding prospect of joining with others to respond to problems and develop opportunities that benefit individuals, families, groups, and communities. The MSW degree prepares you for advanced professional practice in the field of social work. Augsburg’s MSW program prepares you for agency-based practice with individuals, families, groups, and communities, and with a dedication to system change that reduces oppression and discrimination. Graduates of our program share how they appreciated the opportunity to learn new ideas as well as learn more about themselves. These graduates valued our small class size, our cohort structure, and the opportunity to have a mentoring relationship with our faculty and staff. As a small program, we have high expectations for our students and at the same time offer the flexibility to help them meet their individual goals. Attending Augsburg University will transform and develop your professional life in unexpected ways. We have two concentrations. The first, Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP), will prepare you for direct clinical practice with individuals, families, and groups. The second, Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP), will prepare you for macro social work practice with organizations, communities, and other large systems. We are delighted in your interest in our MSW program and invite you to join us in a lifelong adventure in learning. The personal and professional growth necessary to become an advanced professional social worker is challenging. We encourage you to take the challenge with us. Lois A. Bosch, PhD, LISW Director, Master of Social Work MSW Mission Our mission is to develop social work professionals for advanced practice that promotes social justice and empowerment towards the well-being of people in a diverse and global society. Program Overview The MSW program prepares social work students for agency-based practice in public and nonprofit settings. By working in the agency setting, social workers collaborate with others to provide holistic, affordable, and accessible services to individuals, families, groups, and communities. Our challenging MSW curriculum integrates social work theory with micro and macro practice methods. Students develop skills, knowledge, and values necessary for ethical social work practice. As you progress through our MSW program, you will:         Learn how individuals live in and are affected by their social environment Understand how social policies and programs affect individuals, families, communities, and society Apply theories and methods of practice through the field practicum experience Use a range of client-centered approaches to practice with client groups of all types and sizes Engage in practice informed by sound, scholarly research Evaluate the effectiveness of your social work practice or social work programs Advocate for the eradication of oppression and discrimination Be a responsible and contributing citizen in the local and global community Accreditation Augsburg’s MSW program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). Your MSW degree must be accredited by CSWE if you seek licensure with the social work board of your state. For more information on CSWE accreditation go to www.cswe.org. Augsburg University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the Accreditation, Approvals, and Memberships section of this catalog. 89 Plan of Study Students entering Augsburg’s MSW program with a bachelor’s degree from a discipline other than social work are classified as foundation students. Full-time foundation students are enrolled in a two year program. Part-time foundation students are enrolled in a four year program. Students entering Augsburg’s MSW program with a bachelor’s degree in social work from a CSWE (Council on Social Work Education) accredited institution are classified as advanced standing students. Full-time advanced standing students are enrolled in a 13 month program. Part-time advanced standing students are enrolled in a 25 month program. All students must complete the MSW degree in no more than 4 years following matriculation. Academic Calendar The MSW program meets on a semester calendar, with classes offered September through August. Classes typically meet every other weekend with an occasional back-to-back weekend. Field practicum hours are generally completed during weekday hours. If a student lives outside the Twin Cities metro area, the field practicum hours can be completed at a placement near the student’s place of residence. Hours per week vary depending on the agency placement and the student’s availability. For academic calendars and schedules, go to www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Class Periods Classes meet in 2-4 hour blocks on Friday evenings, 6 to 10:00 pm; Saturday mornings, 8:00 am to 12 pm; and Saturday afternoons, 1:00 to 5:00 pm. Each class meets on campus for 8 sessions in a given semester and for 4 sessions on campus in a summer term (May-June), with the expectation that students engage in hybrid learning activities between on-campus class weekends. Time Commitment Although classes meet on weekends, students spend time on their studies during non-class weekends and weekdays in accordance with our hybrid learning format. Hybrid learning is a combination of face-to-face class sessions and online/experiential learning. On a class weekend, the typical student will spend 12 hours in class within a 23-hour period. For every hour spent in class, a student may expect to spend 3 to 4 hours outside of class working on online activities, assignments, readings, or group projects. A student may also spend 15 to 20 hours per week in the field practicum during the fall and spring semesters (a span of 8 to 9 months for each practicum). In the final year of study, students complete a summative evaluation or a portfolio, which requires significant independent research, analysis, and writing. Some MSW students work full-time while enrolled in the program. However, full-time employment is not recommended. Most students arrange to reduce their work hours or request time away during their graduate studies. Each student’s situation is unique and must be decided individually. All students must develop strategies for balancing family, work, and academic responsibilities. Credit and Contact Hours MSW courses range from 2 to 4 semester credits. Depending on the number of credits, students will spend 16 to 32 hours in the classroom per course. Students will also be expected to engage in activities and independent study outside of class. Cohort Structure MSW students are admitted to a particular cohort. Cohorts are distinguished by level of admission (foundation or advanced standing), rate of attendance (full-time or part-time), and chosen concentration (Multicultural Clinical Practice [MCCP] or Multicultural Macro Practice [MCMP]). Any changes to a student’s cohort selection must be approved by the MSW director. 90 Field Practicum Foundation students complete 920 hours in two field practica; advanced standing students complete 500 hours in one field practicum. Successful completion of the first field practicum, required for foundation students, is a minimum of 420 hours. Successful completion of the second field practicum, required for both foundation and advanced standing students, is a minimum of 500 hours. Each practicum experience is spread over two semesters (fall and spring). These hours are completed concurrent with enrollment in the fieldwork seminars as well as other MSW courses. MSW Curriculum Components Foundation Curriculum In the foundation courses and field practicum, students are introduced to social work as a profession. Students learn both historical and contemporary theories and practice methods relating to both the individual and the environment. During the foundation year, students study human behavior and the social environment, history of social welfare policy, research methods, assessment frameworks, family and community diversity, and social work values and ethics. In the foundation curriculum students apply this generalist knowledge of theories and practice methods in the generalist field practicum. The field practicum is completed concurrently with enrollment in two field seminar courses. The full foundation curriculum is required of all students, with the exception of those admitted with advanced standing. Before beginning the concentration curriculum, all foundation coursework and field hours must be successfully completed. Concentration Curriculum After completing the foundation requirements, students enroll in the concentration curriculum that they selected at the time their application to the program. Students also complete an advanced field practicum. Augsburg offers two concentrations: Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) or Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP). In either concentration, students deepen their knowledge of the primary issues affecting families and communities, develop a range of clientcentered approaches to practice, gain a broader understanding of human diversity, develop competencies in practicebased research, and learn practice or program evaluation techniques. In the concentration curriculum, students apply this advanced knowledge of theories and practice methods in the concentration field practicum. The field practicum is relevant to their chosen concentration and is completed concurrently with enrollment in two field seminar courses. As a capstone to the MSW program, students complete a portfolio project or a summative evaluation project. Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) Concentration Multiculturalism is a process requiring practitioners to have a deep awareness of their social and cultural identities, as well as the ability to use multiple lenses when working with diverse populations. With person-in-environment as an organizing perspective, multicultural clinical social work practice addresses the biopsychosocial and spiritual functioning of individuals, families, and groups. To this end, graduates of the MCCP concentration develop competence in using relationship-based, culturally informed, and theoretically grounded interventions with persons facing challenges, disabilities, or impairments, including emotional, behavioral, and mental disorders. Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) Concentration In the tradition of Jane Addams, the heart of macro social work practice is directing energy toward changing agency, government, and institutional policies that obscure or oppress people. While many social workers view their role as focused on individuals and families, social workers must actively seek equality and justice for clients within agencies, institutions and society. Social work leaders must advocate for social change where necessary to ensure social justice. Similar to the MCCP concentration, it is important to address macro level social work practice within the context of cultural understanding and awareness. The Multicultural Macro Practice concentration (formerly Program Development, Policy and Administration) responds to this demand for leadership. The macro social work practitioner recognizes the strengths and abilities of individuals and communities to implement change. The social work macro practitioner works with these individuals to do so. In the MCMP concentration, students 91 learn the knowledge and skills necessary to work with others to achieve needed social change. They also learn to develop, lead, guide, and administer programs that serve diverse people in a variety of settings. Portfolio or Summative Evaluation Project  Portfolio Project (MCCP students)  The goal of the MCCP Portfolio is to enhance the integration of theory and practice, as well as to offer more vivid portrayals of a student’s academic and professional experience than traditional assessments. By definition, portfolios are formative (i.e., designed for guided reflection and self-evaluation). However they are also summative documents in that they illustrate students’ competencies. All MCCP students are required to create a portfolio during their final year of study. Items in a portfolio might include videos, process recordings, reflective statements, writing samples, case analyses, term papers, electronic submissions, policy activities, feedback from service users, self-evaluations of personal progress, and links to references.  Summative Evaluation Project (MCMP students)  All social workers must evaluate their practice to determine whether they are helping or harming clients. While in the concentration practicum, MCMP students will design and implement a program evaluation for their summative project. This project requires integration and application of knowledge and skills from both the foundation and concentration curricula. Students develop their research while in their field internship and are advised by their field seminar professor. Students conduct and present this evaluation/research project during their final year of study. Master’s Thesis Students in both concentrations have the option of completing a thesis in addition to either the portfolio or summative evaluation project. Credit for the SWK 699 general elective is given for this option. Students work with a thesis advisor to develop more in-depth research skills contributing to social work knowledge. To pursue the thesis option, students should notify the MSW program director by the end of spring semester of the foundation year. Degree requirements To be conferred the MSW degree, students must achieve the following:       Successful completion of any admission conditions (see Admission to MSW) Successful completion of all required MSW courses No more than two courses with a B- grade and with a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher Successful completion of 920 hours of approved field practica for foundation students or 500 hours of approved field practicum for advanced standing students Successful completion and submission of the portfolio project (MCCP) or the summative evaluation project (MCMP) Successful completion of all degree requirements within 4 years of matriculation. State of Minnesota Social Work Licensure Six months prior to completion of the MSW degree at Augsburg, students may apply to take the Licensed Graduate Social Worker (LGSW) license exam from the Minnesota Board of Social Work. To achieve LGSW licensure students must pass the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) master’s level national social work licensure examination and complete the MSW degree. To seek the Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) license or the Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) license, one must work two years full-time (or 4,000 hours part-time) as an LGSW under the supervision of an LISW or LICSW, depending on the desired licensure. Upon completion of the supervision requirement, one may take the LISW or LICSW’s Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) national social work licensure examination. For the LICSW, there are additional requirements for 360 clinical clock hours in 6 specific categories.

The following are examples of elective offerings that rotate each year:      Trauma, Theory, and Treatment in Multicultural Clinical Practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Social Work Clinical Practice Spirituality and Social Work Practice Empowerment of Services Users in Mental Health Children’s Mental Health We also offer short-term electives abroad, typically two weeks in length: Exploring Human Services in International Settings (examples include Mexico, Slovenia, Namibia, South Africa, India, Singapore, China, and Hong Kong) Fieldwork and Field Placement Social work education goes beyond the classroom. Through the field experience, we expect that students will demonstrate skills to bridge theory and practice. Collaborative efforts between the student, the field agency, and the MSW program are essential to successful learning. The foundation of the practice includes:        Ethical, competent professional practice Problem solving within a systems framework and strengths perspective Use of advanced practice theories in Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) or Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) settings Evaluation of the effectiveness of program or practice activities An understanding of and respect for diverse peoples and cultures Responsibility and service to the local and global community in the interest of social justice A commitment to oppose oppression of all forms Field Education Format Under the instruction and supervision of professionally-trained, MSW-level, and program-approved field instructors, foundation students will spend a minimum of 920 hours in two field practica. Advanced standing students will spend a minimum of 500 hours in one field practicum. Both the foundation and concentration practica are spread over 2 semesters (fall and spring). Both practica are concurrent with enrollment in integrative field seminars, as well as other MSW coursework. The fieldwork education of the MSW program is divided into two components:   Foundation Practicum The foundation practicum, or generalist practicum, puts emphasis on developing competence as a professional generalist social worker. It requires a minimum of 420 hours and is completed by students admitted at the 94   foundation level. Students spend an average of 15 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters in this practicum. Concentration Practicum The concentration practicum places emphasis on advanced practice skills and leadership qualities related to the chosen concentration. It requires a minimum of 500 hours and is completed by all students, including those admitted with advanced standing. Students spend an average of 18 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters in this practicum. Process for Field Practicum Selection Field practica begin in the fall, but the selection process begins the previous spring in collaboration with two other Twin Cities MSW programs. Students attend a field orientation before beginning their search. Augsburg University and the University of Minnesota - School of Social Work jointly host a field fair where students meet a large number of agencies and potential field instructors. Practicum selection involves interviews at approved sites, arranged by the student, and a matching process conducted collaboratively by the field coordinators at three of the MSW programs in the Twin Cities. In some instances, students can petition to complete a field practicum at an agency not on the approved list or at their place of employment. Students who wish to do so work with the MSW field coordinator for such proposals. Field Practicum Settings The Augsburg field faculty are committed to the success of each student in a stimulating and challenging field practicum. Our current list of approved clinical and community practice field sites includes agencies in the following areas of practice:                          Family and children Child welfare Mental health Crisis intervention Senior resources Family social policy Health and human services Corrections and probation Public and independent schools Youth services Hospitals Developmental disabilities American Indian family services Chronic and persistent mental illness Chemical dependency Court services Immigrant, migrant, refugee services Victims of torture Faith-based social services Neighborhood services Legislation advocacy Housing services Employment services Community organizing Research centers 95 Dual Degree in Social Work and Business Administration (MSW/MBA) Augsburg University offers a dual MSW/MBA degree in social work and business administration. Students enrolled in the dual degree program learn to create better managed and financially sound service organizations to serve diverse communities, both locally and globally. Purpose Many social service agencies today require that agency managers combine financial and business expertise with social work practice and policy formation. The MSW/MBA dual degree prepares graduates to function in a workplace that demands the delivery of quality services with increasingly limited resources. Concentration The MSW/MBA dual degree includes an accelerated third year of study for MSW students who elect the Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) concentration. In this concentration, students learn to effect positive change in social service systems through their work with communities, organizations, and social policy makers. Prior Augsburg MSW graduates who have completed the necessary Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) coursework are eligible to return to complete the MBA portion of the dual degree. The MSW degree must be completed before the MBA portion of the dual degree. Schedule Years 1 and 2 (September through June) MSW classes meet on alternating weekends—Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, and Saturday afternoons—and students engage in hybrid learning activities between class weekends. Year 3 (12–16 months) MBA classes meet one night per week. The MBA program includes a summer term. See the MBA section for required courses for the dual degree. Curriculum  Foundation or advanced standing coursework  Either 920 hours (foundation) or 500 hours (advanced standing) MSW field practicum experience  The MSW summative evaluation project may be accepted by the MBA program as partial fulfillment of the MBA project.  Complete a minimum of eight MBA courses for students who completed the MSW degree 2002 and beyond; complete a minimum of nine MBA courses for students who completed the MSW degree prior to 2002  For more information regarding the MBA coursework required for the MSW/MBA dual degree, see the MBA section. MBA Admission MSW/MBA dual degree applicants may apply to both programs at the same time or admitted MSW students may wait to apply to the MBA program until their concentration year. The GMAT is waived for MSW/MBA dual degree applicants. MBA application materials include: completed application, two short essays, an updated resume, two letters of recommendation, and a personal interview with the MBA program director. Admission to one program does not guarantee admission to the other. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.

If a student falls below a B average, the student will be placed on academic probation. A 3.00 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If the cumulative grade point average again falls below 3.00, the student may be dismissed from the program. Students are retained in the program who can:     Maintain expected grade point average (3.00 or higher) Complete course requirements of the program and field placement in a timely manner Complete the program within four years Abide by the department’s Standards for Social Work Education and the NASW Code of Ethics No more than two courses with a grade of B- will count toward the degree. Courses with a grade below B- must be repeated. No more than two courses can be repeated. If a student receives a grade below B- in a field course, the MSW director will initiate a Level 3 review, as outlined in section 3.2 of the Standards for Social Work Education. Evaluation of Student Field Performance The criteria for evaluating field performance can be found in the MSW Field Manual, which is located on the MSW program Moodle page. The MSW Field Manual may be requested from the MSW Field Coordinator or MSW program staff. Four-Year Limit All students are required to finish the degree within four years of matriculation. See the Academic Programs and Policies section of this catalog for policy on continuation of coursework or final thesis. Leave of Absence Students who interrupt their program enrollment must request a leave of absence through the MSW program in order to maintain their admitted status. The request must be made in writing or via the student’s Augsburg email account. A leave of absence typically requires a full year away from the program in order to return to classes in sequence. Prerequisite Courses All foundation courses are prerequisite to the concentration courses. Students may not enroll in the concentration courses until successfully completing all foundation courses. In addition there are individual courses that are prerequisite to other individual courses in the MSW curriculum. These are listed in the MSW Student Handbook.

The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg mission, informed by the liberal and professional arts and sciences, to serve our neighbors in the heart of the city and out into the world with faith-based, ethical values. We welcome students from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Also, our programs look to the world through international courses and cultural exchanges. Mission Statement Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission: Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by its urban and global settings. Augsburg Today 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, Minnesota in 1872. A Rochester, Minnesota campus was added in 2002. A short history of Augsburg College can be found at www.augsburg.edu/about/history. Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of its founders who believed:    Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically and broadly about the world and the work we do in it. An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and centers of faith. The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment. 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.

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 students to make use of all College facilities, whether a student in Minneapolis or Rochester, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and lecture/speaker events. Graduate 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 and service 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. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories. Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisors and participate regularly in campus activities. 5 Locations Minneapolis Campus Augsburg College is located in the heart of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.

An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a “full course of study” to achieve a specific educational or professional objective at an academic institution in the United States that has been designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of study to such students, and has been enrolled in SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System). A student acquires F-1 status using form I-20, issued by a DHS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in one of two ways:  If the student is abroad, by entering the United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a US consulate. 13  If the student is already in the United States and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the I-20 to USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an application for change of nonimmigrant status. A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer from another DHS-approved school to Augsburg by following the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations. In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students must also comply with the following: English Proficiency Requirements for International Graduate Applicants To meet Augsburg College admission requirements, you must provide evidence of a sufficient command of both written and spoken English to study college courses conducted entirely in English. Below is a list of the tests and programs Augsburg College accepts as evidence for English proficiency.           TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) www.toefl.org Score report of 80 on the Internet-based TOEFL (iBT) with a sub-score of 20 on the written and 20 on the speaking sections. (The Augsburg College TOEFL code is 6014.) IELTS (International English Language Testing System) www.ielts.org Score report of 6.5. MELAB (Michigan English Language Assessment Battery) www.cambridgemichigan.org/melab Score report of 80, and score report must be accompanied by an official letter from the testing coordinator. Successful completion of a previous undergraduate or graduate degree at an accredited college or university in the US, the United Kingdom, Ireland, English-speaking Canada, New Zealand, or Australia. Score reports must be sent to Augsburg directly from the testing center. Score reports must not be more than two years old. Foreign Credential Evaluation Augsburg requires foreign credential evaluation for any transcript(s) from an institution outside of the United States. This evaluation should include the following:       Analysis of credentials to determine if your degree is equivalent to an accredited US bachelor’s degree Verification the degree is equivalent, at a minimum, to a four-year US bachelor’s degree is required. Course-by-course evaluation to show your complete course listing with credit values and grades received for each course, may also be required for specific programs. Calculation of grade point average to demonstrate your cumulative grade point average using the standard US grading system, i.e., A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0. Translation to English (if applicable) The evaluation report must be sent directly to Augsburg’s Office of Admissions. Refer to World Education Services at www.wes.org for information on how to obtain a foreign credential evaluation. Proof of Financial Support International applicants must provide reliable documentation that they have financial resources adequate to meet expenses for the duration of their academic program, which include tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, health insurance, personal expenses, and living expenses for dependents (if applicable). Funds may come from any dependable source, including scholarships, fellowships, sponsoring agencies, personal funds, or funds from the student’s family. Documentation of scholarships and fellowships may be in the form of an official award letter from the school or sponsoring agency; documentation of personal or family funds should be on bank letterhead stationery, or in the form of a legally binding affidavit. Government Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, or Augsburg’s Financial Sponsorship form can be used to document support being provided by a US citizen or US legal 14 permanent resident. All financial documents such as bank statements must be dated within three months prior to the date of application. Health Insurance All F-1 international students and their dependents (if applicable) are required to have adequate health insurance coverage for the duration of their program. International students will be enrolled in the Augsburg international student plan unless they fill out a waiver verifying proof of coverage through an alternative provider for the same period. 15 Financing Your Education College Costs for Graduate Studies The Board of Regents approves the costs for the academic year. The board reviews costs annually and makes changes as required. Augsburg reserves the right to adjust charges should economic conditions necessitate. Full-Time vs. Half-Time Graduate students will need to be enrolled in 3 credits to be considered half-time and 6 credits to be considered fulltime.

Fees Specific courses or programs may have additional fees associated with them, such as lab or supply fees. Payments Semester Charges Prior to the start of each semester, a statement of estimated charges showing charges and financial aid credits designated by the Student Financial Services Office is sent to the student via e-mail. All statements are available online through Augnet’s Records and Registration site. Payments can be made online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/make-a-payment. Augsburg may charge late fees and interest on delinquent accounts. Review the full policy regarding past due balances online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/disclosure Payment Options Augsburg College offers payment plan options for all students. Information about payment plans is available online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts. 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. 16 Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of grants and loans. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational expenses, retirement needs, and special considerations. Types of Aid A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a specific scholarship or grant (except as noted). Institutional Grants/Discounts Augsburg offers grants/discounts for a variety of different students. Specific information about the different grants and scholarships, along with eligibility requirements, can be found online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/paymentplans-and-discounts. Loan Assistance Graduate students must be enrolled at least half-time in order to receive federal loans. Three semester credits per term is considered half-time. Six semester credits per term is considered full-time.     Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Student 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). Federal Graduate Loan Program (PLUS) Graduate PLUS is a loan program to help graduate students meet college costs. Students may borrow up to the cost of attendance (minus all other student financial aid). Further information about loan programs can be found online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial. Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy Federal regulations require that all higher education institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether students [1] receiving financial aid [2] are making satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of a degree. The purpose of this policy is to make sure that students who receive financial aid are using this money wisely. It is meant to curtail the use of financial aid by students who fail to successfully complete their course work. Failure to meet the following standards makes a student ineligible for all institutional, federal, and state financial aid. Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress 1) Minimum GPA requirements: Graduate Students must maintain a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA based on the entire academic record. 2) Minimum Credits Completed: Graduate Students must earn a cumulative 67% of the credits attempted based on the entire academic record. A completed credit has a grade of 4.0 – 2.5 or P. Credits earned and completed will include accepted cumulative transfer credits as defined by the Registrar’s Office. Unsatisfactory grades “W 17 (withdrawn),” “I (Incomplete),” “F (Zero),” and “N (Not Passing)” are counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. Repeat Courses and remedial courses are not counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. 3) Maximum Time Frame: To demonstrate academic progress, graduate students must complete their degree objective within 150% of the length of the program. Monitoring and Evaluating Progress In order to ensure SAP standards are being met, the office of Student Financial Services will evaluate and monitor the students’ academic achievement at the end of each term. After the student’s record is evaluated and the Student Financial Services Office determined the student to be unsatisfactory, the student will be placed on Financial Aid Warning or Financial Aid Probation. Students will be notified through their Augsburg email if they fail to meet SAP standards. Financial Aid Warning In order to ensure SAP standards are being met, the Office of Student Financial Services will evaluate and monitor the students’ academic achievement at the end of each term. After the student’s record is evaluated and the Student Financial Services Office determined the student to be unsatisfactory, the student will be placed on Financial Aid Warning or Financial Aid Suspension. Students will be notified through their Augsburg email if they fail to meet SAP standards. Financial Aid Suspension A student who fails to meet either the minimum GPA requirement and/or minimum credits attempted while on Financial Aid Warning will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. A student on Financial Aid Suspension is ineligible to receive any form of financial aid. A student on Financial Aid Suspension may submit an appeal to reinstate their financial aid. Financial Aid Suspension will conclude when the student meets SAP standards, or successfully appeals. Financial Aid will be suspended when a student placed on Financial Aid Suspension does not meet SAP standards. Because grades may not be available before the beginning of the next scheduled term, it is possible that financial aid may be disbursed to a student before the review can be conducted. In the event that a student is found to be ineligible for the financial aid that has been disbursed due to a failure to meet one of the Standards, the aid that was disbursed will be canceled, and returned to the appropriate program(s). Right to Appeal Students who have had their financial aid suspended may submit the SAP Appeal Form to the Student Financial Services Office. The appeal must be submitted within 7 days of notification of unsatisfactory status or by the due date given on the appeal letter. The SAP Appeal Form must be completely filled out, along with any additional documents required by the Committee. The appeal should state reasons why the student failed to meet SAP standards, and what changed for the student that will allow the student to demonstrate progress towards meeting SAP standards. The appeal will be decided by the SAP Committee. All decisions made by the Committee are final. If a student’s appeal is approved they will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. If a student’s appeal is denied they will remain on Financial Aid Suspension and will remain ineligible for financial aid. Financial Aid Probation A student who has been placed on Financial Aid Suspension and successfully appeals SAP will be place on Financial Aid Probation. A student on Financial Aid Probation will be eligible to receive financial aid. Financial Aid Probation will last for one term. If at the end of the term, the students meets SAP standards, the Financial Aid Probation will conclude. Students currently on Financial Aid Probation who do not meet the standards at the end of the term will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. 18 Student Account Financial Disclosure Students at Augsburg College are obligated to pay Term Fees and additional charges when they register for each academic term. “Term Fees” include tuition, room and board charges and other fees initiated during your time as a student. Students are responsible to pay for all of these charges regardless of whether financial aid is received or employers or other third parties pay as agreed. “Term Fees” are subject to refund only to the extent allowed under the Augsburg College Tuition Refund Policy. Statements and account history are available online through AugNet Records and Registration. Augsburg College may require someone to co-sign on the students’ obligations in special cases, such as when a student has a history of late or missed payments. When a co-signer’s signature is required, both students and co-signers are responsible for payment of all costs incurred (including collection costs and fees of any collection agency and/or attorney, if applicable) and all other conditions outlined on the Student Account Financial Disclosure. Results of Balances Not Paid in Full Augsburg may charge late fees and interest on delinquent accounts. Missed or late payments will be subject to a late payment charge and/or a finance charge on the overdue balance from the date the balance was due until payment in full is received. If your account is not paid in full on the first day of the term, finance charges at the rate of 8% per year (.67% per month) will be added onto your student account balance. For example, this means that for every $1,000 owed you will receive $6.70 a month in finance charges. A $30 NSF Fee will be added for any payment returned by the bank for Non-Sufficient Funds. Past Due Accounts If the student does not set up a formal payment plan with Augsburg’s Student Financial Services department, Augsburg reserves the right to demand payment of the entire balance owed by that student and to take steps to collect it. Augsburg may cancel the student’s registration, prevent the student from registering for future terms, withhold transcripts or diplomas, remove the student from on-campus housing, turn the student’s account over to a collection agency or take legal action to collect any past due balance. Each student authorizes Augsburg to release financial information about her or his account and other pertinent information such as address and phone number to third parties who are dealing with the collection of the account balance. By providing us with a telephone number for a cellular phone or other wireless device, you are expressly consenting to receive communications – including but not limited to prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an automatic telephone dialing system – from us and our affiliates and agents at that number. This express consent applies to each such telephone number that you provide to us now or in the future and permits such calls regardless of their purpose. Calls and messages may incur access fees from your cellular provider. Each student also agrees to reimburse Augsburg College, or its agents, the fees of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 40% of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, we incur in such collection efforts. Please note that, due to the Bankruptcy Reform Act, educational benefits are generally exempt from discharge under bankruptcy. The terms of this agreement remain in effect until all Term Fees and other charges are paid in full. Financial Policies 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 account charges 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. Tuition Refund Policy Students are eligible for a 100% tuition refund for any courses they drop without notation through the date labeled “Last day to drop without a ‘W’ grade & 100% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. After this date, 19 students are no longer eligible for any refund of tuition unless they withdraw from all of their courses. This policy is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. Students withdrawing from all of a term’s courses may receive a 50% tuition refund when they withdraw by the date labeled “Last day to withdraw with 50% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. Students are responsible for cancelling courses through the Registrar’s Office (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. Medical Refund If a student is forced to withdraw from one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, a request for a medical refund should be made through the Academic/Financial Petition. Petition forms are available through the Registrar’s Office website. An extra medical refund may be granted by the Committee upon submission of documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances. 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 Office 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 tuition charges for the term will be replaced with an administrative cancellation fee of $300. Financial Aid Policy Financial aid such as federal, state, and institutional grants and scholarships are awarded based upon the total number of registered credits on the “Last day to add with faculty signature – Full Semester class” as noted on the Academic Calendar. Students must register for internships, Time 2 classes, and ACTC classes before the “Last day to add with faculty signature-Full Semester class”. Financial aid will not be adjusted for classes added after this date. Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester by actively attending and participating in classes throughout the semester. Financial aid is recalculated when students do any of the following: drop classes without a “W” grade, fail to begin classes, cease to attend classes, fail all classes, or fully withdraw from all classes. Financial Aid - Return of Aid Policy Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester. A student can earn their aid by attending classes, or in the event of hybrid/online courses, be an active participant in the course. Federal/State Aid Adjustments Augsburg is required to return unearned federal/state aid for students who fully withdraw from their courses. Student are eligible to keep more aid the longer they attend their courses. After 60% of the term has passed, students are eligible to keep all of their federal/state aid. If you are planning to completely withdraw from your courses, please see a Student Financial Services counselor to determine what aid may need to be returned. 20 Institutional Aid Adjustments Augsburg will return institutional aid for students who partially withdraw or fully withdraw from courses. If students withdraw from their courses they will receive a 50% tuition refund and 50% of their institutional aid will be removed. If a student withdraws after the last day to receive a tuition refund, there will be no adjustment to their institutional aid. Credit Refund Policy Augsburg students may be eligible to receive a credit refund if their financial aid exceeds tuition and fee charges for a term. Credit refunds are issued within two weeks after the last day to drop courses without recorded notation. Financial Aid needs to be finalized (You can verify your financial aid status online through Track Your Financial Aid) and applied to a student’s account (Check your Transaction History online to verify all of your financial aid has been applied to your account and nothing is left pending) before the credit refund can be issued. Changes in enrollment status, housing status, and program status may affect financial aid eligibility and credit refunds. Students who are enrolled less than half-time (less than 6.0 credits for undergraduates, less than 3.0 credit for graduates) may not be eligible for financial aid; however, students may apply for private alternative loans. Registration changes made from the first week of the term through midterm may require a return of financial aid funds. Students who drop courses may receive a tuition refund, but some forms of financial aid may have to be adjusted before a refund will be available. Financial aid return of funds may take up to 30-45 days to be processed. Bookstore Policy Students who are registered for the upcoming term will be allowed to charge up to $600 to their student account. Students DO NOT need to request a bookstore account this year. Please plan ahead and purchase books and supplies before the scheduled cut off dates; plan ahead for courses that start midterm as you will be unable to charge anything to your student account after the cut-off date. Students’ accounts will be billed for only what was spent on their bookstore accounts before credit refunds are issued. If your bookstore charges create a balance on your account, you need to make payments in accordance with your statement. Bookstore purchases charged to a student account are intended for students who have excess financial aid funds to cover their tuition, fees, AND their books or supplies. Please contact Student Financial Services before you purchase books if you need to discuss payment options. Due to the financial aid cycle, you can only charge expenses to your bookstore account during specific times. Third Party If you are expecting a third party to cover the cost of your books, you will need to turn in an itemized receipt of your purchases to the Student Financial Services Office, along with your invoice request. Additional Funds If the cost of your textbooks and supplies are above $600 in one term, you have enough financial aid to cover the additional costs, and you would like to charge the additional amount to your student account, please send the following information to Student Financial Services (studentfinances@augsburg.edu). All requests need to be in writing. Subject: Request for additional funds Full Name: Student ID number: Additional request: Students will receive an e-mail when the additional request has been processed. Accounts are opened as quickly as possible, but it could take up to two business days for activation. 21 Consumer Information LOSS OF FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY DUE TO A DRUG OFFENSE A student, who is convicted of a state or federal offense involving the possession or sale of an illegal drug that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid, is not eligible for Title IV funds. [An illegal drug is a controlled substance as defined by the Controlled Substance Act and does not include alcohol and tobacco. A borrower’s eligibility is based on the student’s self-certification on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Convictions that are reversed, set aside or removed from the student’s record, or a determination arising from a juvenile court proceeding do not affect eligibility and do not need to be reported by the student. A student who is convicted of a drug-related offense that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid loses Title IV eligibility as follows: For the possession of illegal drugs: First offense: one year from the date of conviction. Second offense: two years from the date of the second conviction. Third offense: indefinitely from the date of the third conviction. For the sale of illegal drugs: First offense: two years from the date of conviction. Second offense: indefinitely from the date of the second conviction. A school must provide a student who loses Title IV eligibility due to a drug-related conviction with a timely, separate, clear, and conspicuous written notice. The notice must advise the student of his or her loss of Title IV eligibility and the ways in which the student may regain that eligibility. Regaining Eligibility after a Drug Conviction A student may regain eligibility at any time by completing an approved drug rehabilitation program and by informing the school that he or she has done so. A student regains Title IV eligibility on the date he or she successfully completes the program. A drug rehabilitation program is considered approved for these purposes if it includes at least two unannounced drug tests and meets one of the following criteria:     The program received or is qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly under a federal, state, or local government program. The program is administered or recognized by a federal, state, or local government agency or court. The program received or is qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a federally or state licensed insurance company. The program administered or recognized by a federally or state-licensed hospital, health clinic, or medical doctor. Policies may change throughout an academic year if necessary to comply with federal, state, or institutional changes or regulations. 22 Student Resources/Academic and Support Services Library and Information Technology Services The James G. Lindell Family Library opened in 1997. The four-level, 73,000-square-foot facility houses the library and information technology functions of the College as well as the Gage Center for Student Success. In addition to its large collection of print volumes, e-books, and e-journals, Lindell Library includes special collections and archives, a curriculum library, a computer lab and student computing help desk, a library instruction classroom, and facilities for media viewing and listening. Skyways link the library to Oren Gateway Center and Sverdrup Hall. Learning Commons Within Lindell Library, a Learning Commons provides assistance in research and the use of technology as well as spaces for collaborative learning. Library Resources Students can search a wide variety of local, regional, national, and international databases. They have access to 120 databases, 27,000 e-journals, 52,445 e-books, and 177,000 print volumes within Lindell Library and, through a daily courier service, access to the library holdings of six other private liberal arts colleges in the Twin Cities. In addition, Lindell Library has a large collection of media resources. A service-oriented staff provides students and faculty with research assistance and instruction in the use of information resources. Arrangements are made for access by students with physical limitation and special needs. Information Technology Resources Augsburg College has built a reputation as a leader in its commitment to provide students with relevant and timely access to information technology and training. Visit the Student Technology website, inside.augsburg.edu/techdesk, for more on Information Technology at Augsburg. Computing Students have access to more than 250 on-campus computers. Both PC and Macintosh desktop computers are available in the Lindell Library Learning Commons and computer lab, and in the 24-hour Urness computer lab. The College has five computer classrooms, 41 technology-enhanced classrooms and one video conferencing-enabled classroom. The circulation desk in Lindell Library has 45 wireless laptops available for use in the library. Several computer clusters are available for more specific student use within academic departments. A high-speed fiber optic campus network provides access to AugNet online services, printing, and to the internet. Network-ready student machines can connect to the campus network from residence hall rooms or any building on campus using WiFi. All of the AugNet online services are available securely on- and off-campus. Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) The Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and academic support for students with documented learning, attention, psychiatric, and other cognitive disabilities, and for students with physical disabilities such as TBI, chronic illness, mobility impairments, and vision, hearing, or speech impairments, and temporary disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain 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 develop a plan for ensuring they have equal access to Augsburg courses, programs, activities, and facilities. 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, student technology assistance, academic advising, counseling, financial aid) Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Accommodations Laboratory 23   Coaching on academic, organizational, and time management skills Campus living accommodations The Disability Specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisors, and other members of the college faculty, staff, or administration to support each student as they work toward success. Taking advantage of these accommodations and services, however, remains the student’s responsibility. Any Augsburg student who wants to establish eligibility for accommodations and services should schedule a meeting with a Specialist to discuss their needs, as well as appropriate documentation of their disability. CLASS also provides informal screenings for students who suspect they may have a learning-related disability. These screenings are meant only to help students determine whether they should seek a thorough evaluation by a qualified professional. Academic accommodations are intended to ensure access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities and may not fundamentally alter the basic nature or essential components of an institution’s courses or programs. CLASS services are made possible in part through endowment support provided by the Gage family and the Groves Foundation. For further information, call 612-330-1053. 24 Academic Programs and Policies Academic Calendars All of our graduate programs meet on a semester calendar. Academic Calendars can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change without notice. Academic Policies The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges. Academic Honesty A college is a community of learners whose relationship relies on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity and credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg College community. Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a College requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student pledging to abide by the College’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. (See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide). Evaluation and Grading Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0 achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for details of field study and special projects. Students must achieve a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Grading option cannot be changed from traditional (0.0 - 4.0) to Pass/No Credit. Explanation of grades for Graduate Studies: Grade 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0–0.0 FN P N V W I X Explanation Achieves highest standards of excellence Achieves above acceptable standards Meets acceptable standards Meets minimum standards Unacceptable performance Unacceptable performance, student stopped attending Represents work at 3.0 or higher (not counted in grade point average) No credit (not counted in grade point average) Audit Withdrawn Incomplete In progress, extended beyond term of registration Auditing Courses Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V) on a space-available basis. Graduate students will be charged an audit fee of $1,000. The written permission of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript with a V grade. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Audited courses do not count towards graduation. Withdrawal Grade A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a W grade and before the last day to withdraw. 25 Incomplete (I) Grades An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Registrar’s Office that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Extension (X) Grades Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned. Repeated Courses A course in which a grade of FN, 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken each term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. Courses completed at Augsburg College must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat policy. Grade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted, i.e., courses with 0.0 to 4.0 grade assigned. Attendance Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements to address the needs of particular courses, individual students, or various learning styles. Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible, students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible. Non-Attendance/Non-Participation Attendance/participation in class is important for academic success and financial aid. Therefore, students are dropped for non-attendance/non-participation after the 10th business day of the term if reported by the instructor. Students are ultimately responsible for dropping classes if they no longer plan to attend/participate. Students who have been dropped and wish to re-enroll must submit and Academic/Financial Petition. 26 Graduate Continuation Policy Students registering for the final project course must complete the Final Project Registration/Graduate Continuation Contract by the last day to add with faculty signature for a Full Semester class as noted on the Academic Calendar. Upon receipt of the contract, the Registrar’s Office will enroll the student in the Continuation Program for 13 semesters. Entry into the Continuation Program maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, including library and AugNet Services. Students can request an extension of up to 3 semesters beyond the initial 13 semesters to the program director by completing the Graduate Continuation Extension Contract. Approval of the extension is at the discretion of the program director. If a grade is not received and an extension has not been granted by the grading deadline of the 13th semester, the grade will change from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project after receiving a failing grade must meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional coursework and will need to pay tuition and fees for any additional courses. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would replace the previous N grade. Students may withdraw from the College, and thus from the Continuation Program and the final project course, at any point during the continuation period and receive a W notation on the transcript for the final project course. Following a withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional coursework and will need to pay full tuition and fees for any additional courses. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would replace the previous W grade. Credit and Contact Hours Augsburg’s credit hour policy follows the federal guidelines in defining a semester credit hour as one fifty-minute period of instruction and 100 minutes of out-of-class work per week for fifteen weeks, or the equivalent amount of student work completed over a different time frame or via a different delivery method. All Augsburg programs follow the semester calendar with semester lengths from 14-16 weeks. Augsburg offers a summer semester which follows the same format as both fall and spring semester. Students must take at least 3 credits to be considered half-time, and 6 or more credits to be considered full-time. Students may take up to 22 credits. Degree Requirements To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following:    Successful completion of all required courses A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed continuation agreement with Augsburg College. Probation and Dismissal Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistant must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out with the program director. Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the College. 27 Dismissal Appeals Process A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the College’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate negatively affected the outcome. The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard copy of the statement of appeal to the Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate Studies (AVP-Graduate Studies); email is not acceptable. The statement must identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The statement of appeal will be the only basis of the student’s appeal. The AVP-Graduate Studies must receive the student’s statement of appeal within 14 calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the statement of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within 15 business days of the date that the statement was received by the AVP-Graduate Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVPGraduate Studies. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the program’s response to the student. The AVP-Graduate Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the AVP-Graduate Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty members (one from programs not named in the appeal: Business, Creative Writing, Education, Leadership, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, Social Work). The Program Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s statement of response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures and ask questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each bring a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg College faculty member, staff member, or student). The role of the third party representative is to provide support to the student or the program representative, not to serve as an advocate during the meeting. Dropping or Withdrawing Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or with a Registration Form. To see the drop and withdrawal deadlines, see the Academic Calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Independent Study Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special independent study registration form is required and is available on the Registrar’s Office website. Term Off Students may take a term off for up to two semesters and have continued access to Augsburg e-mail and AugNet Services. If a student is not registered after 10th day of the third semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the student will need to submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll. For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their advisor and obtain the advice of their director. Evaluation of Transfer Credit Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide appropriate documentation regarding previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university institution and graded 3.0/B or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program requirements at Augsburg. 28 The maximum number of semester credits that can be transferred is:          Master of Arts in Education (6) Master of Arts in Leadership (6) Master of Arts in Nursing (9) Master of Business Administration (18) Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (12) Master of Music Therapy (Contact program director) Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator) Master of Social Work (22) Doctor of Nursing Practice (Contact program director) Augsburg credits are calculated in semester hours. If you completed courses at other institutions that are quarter hours, they will be converted to semester hours. One quarter hour equates to two-thirds of a semester hour. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. 29 Master of Arts in Education Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and elsewhere. The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program combines our excellent undergraduate licensure coursework with a master’s level coursework focused on teacher leadership, preparing teachers to serve K-12 students effectively and to nurture healthy change within schools and school systems. Our Philosophy The Education Department program themes include relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. One of these themes - leadership - is lived out within the MAE program. As this program theme suggests, we expect our students to leave our programs as responsive, knowledgeable teachers prepared to exercise leadership in the classroom and, eventually, the school and community. Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through a combination of course content, field experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students will leave our programs as collaborative and capable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. Our Faculty Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors, all of whom have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all full-time faculty members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision, volunteer work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do. We value good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers. Our Accessibility We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and personal responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings to allow you to manage these responsibilities while pursuing your goals. You will need to be available during the weekday for the challenge and responsibility of field experiences, but education coursework is accessible through the evening schedules*. As a student in Augsburg’s Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly-qualified teacher— the teacher you can become. *By the end of Spring 2015 our licensure programs will have been fully transitioned from a weekend to an evening schedule. New students will be in the evening program. For the time being, end of program MAE degree completion options will remain on the weekend schedule. Education Department Mission The mission of the Augsburg Education Department is to develop responsive, knowledgeable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. Program Themes Responsive, knowledgeable teachers understand the dynamic interaction among relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. These four interrelated program themes provide lenses through which we filter our practice. Relationships Learning is relational and communal. Responsive teachers create significant relationships with their students, colleagues, and community partners by developing learning communities. These nurturing learning communities provide safe, trustworthy places where challenging and engaging questions can be considered. We model the kinds of learning communities that we expect our graduates to create. We share with our students a learning model that connects 30 content, theory, and practice in an ongoing cycle. Students and their learning are the focus for responsive teachers. Therefore we embrace and foster a progressive and constructivist orientation. Reflection and Inquiry Responsive teachers are reflective practitioners who are students of teaching and learning. Providing numerous frameworks through which to filter our experience encourages intentional and thoughtful inquiry. Through field placements, service learning, generative questions, and classroom experiences, students and faculty develop their perspectives about teaching and learning. Critical reflection allows us to examine content, theory, and practice in ways that transform our practice. We think it is important to understand and learn how to manage the many polarities inherent in the teaching and learning process. Diversity and Equity Responsive teachers embrace diversity and intentionally work to ensure that all learners, especially those who for some reason have been marginalized, learn and develop in powerful ways. We continually reflect on what it means to be a “school in the city.” We recognize that each student is unique, shaped by culture and experience; therefore, differentiating instruction is essential. The perspective of multiple intelligences, learning style theory and teaching for understanding help us differentiate and enable us to provide choice, variety, and flexibility. Responsive teachers believe that all students can learn. They also have a sense of efficacy and believe that they can help all students learn. Leadership Responsive teachers recognize that becoming a learning leader is a developmental process, which begins in pre-service education and continues throughout one’s career. Teachers serve as leaders within the classroom, and with experience, increased confidence, and professional development become leaders within the school, the district, and the community. Teacher leaders view themselves as lifelong learners. They become role models committed to their profession as a vocation rather than a job. Emerging teacher leaders keep student learning at the center of their work while advocating for instructional innovation, constructivist curricular development, and systemic change. Master of Arts in Education Conceptual Framework Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion program. The Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their institutions and communities. The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the combined undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students are required to include coursework focused on leadership and study aspects of leadership as part of their degree program. Third, the final project—be it an action research, a leadership application project, or performance assessment —gives students the opportunity to study an issue of concern and, supported by research, define a means for addressing it. Three Teacher Leadership Aspirations inform our program. They are as follows: Aspiration 1: Teacher leaders value learning for personal and professional growth. Teacher leaders share knowledge effectively with colleagues. We believe that teacher leaders are comfortable with their knowledge and expertise, neither flaunting it nor hiding it, but sharing it with others generously. They work to build bridges with a full range of colleagues, but they don’t let recalcitrant colleagues stop their own development. They see learning as a continuous endeavor and seek it throughout their careers. Aspiration 2: Teachers leaders think big—beyond the classroom to the broader context of education and community. We believe that teacher leaders see systems and the “big picture” and are able to put their classrooms, schools, and communities into a broader context. They understand the link between policies, politics, and education and participate in change efforts at the macro and micro levels. They seek to work with administrators to establish school and district policy that improves life for everyone. If this involves political action, they are prepared to engage in it. Teacher leaders 31 also understand that teaching and learning are dynamic and that change within school systems is an ever-present phenomenon. They are informed decision-makers predisposed to take on the challenge of change when they think it benefits students, teachers, and/or community. Aspiration 3: Teacher leaders possess courage and an orientation to action. We believe that teacher leaders help others not be afraid. They are able to help people to take warranted risks and step outside their comfort zones. They have the courage to bring people together to see the bigger picture and then help people get there. Teacher leaders accept both power and accountability. They understand that responsibility without power diminishes potential for effectiveness. They believe that accountability is a fair trade for the power to take effective action. They operate from a foundation of self-efficacy. Program Overview The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) is designed to provide a teaching license as part of a master’s degree program. K12 initial teaching licenses offered at Augsburg include:   Elementary education (K-6), with or without a middle school content area endorsement in math, communication arts, social studies, or science. Subject matter courses for these endorsements may need to be taken in the weekday schedule or at a community college when unavailable through evening course work. Secondary education (5-12 and K-12) in social studies, communication arts/literature, visual arts, health, mathematics, music, and physical education, 9-12 in biology, chemistry, and physics, and 5-8 general science . Subject matter courses for these licenses may need to be taken in the weekday schedule or at a community college when unavailable through evening course work. Augsburg requires that at least two content area courses are taken at Augsburg. Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE degree through the following four licensure endorsement options:   K-12 English as a Second Language K-12 Special Education: Academic Behavior Strategist All teachers seeking licensure through Augsburg must take and pass all tests required by the state of Minnesota for licensure. These include tests in basic skills, pedagogy and content area knowledge. Accreditations and Approvals Augsburg College Teacher Education programs are accredited and approved by:   National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) Minnesota Board of Teaching. (MN BOT) Augsburg College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the listing in the Accreditation, Approvals, and Memberships section of this catalog. Program Structure The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program is made up of a core of education licensure courses at the graduate level coupled with a degree completion option. Courses in the degree completion phase are drawn from the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) and graduate courses in education. Most students in the MAE program pursue a teaching license as part of their program plan. The MAE degree is also open to students who do not want a teaching license but do want a background in education and leadership. See the MAE program director for details. The MAE degree requires ten or eleven Augsburg graduate level courses, depending on the degree completion option. In addition, several courses at the undergraduate level are required for licensure. Only courses taken at the graduate level apply towards the MAE degree. 32 Credit MAE graduate level courses are offered for 3 semester credits. Each course is comprised of 37.5 instructional hours with the expectation of about 75 hours of independent study outside of class. Schedule The majority of the education courses in the MAE licensure and degree programs are offered through the AU evening schedule. Courses in this schedule meet face to face every other week with online instruction during the alternate weeks. A few education courses and many undergraduate content area courses are offered in a face to face, classroom based format, meeting weekly in the evenings. The MAL and education degree completion courses are offered primarily in a weekend schedule through a mix of face-to-face and online instruction. Summer session courses are offered primarily weekday evenings. Summer courses are offered in a mix of formats from all online to all face-to-face. The following teaching licenses are available almost entirely through the evening and summer schedule: elementary education, 5-12 social studies, 5-12 communication arts, K-12 art, K-12 special education, and K-12 English as a second language. Additional licenses in the following areas are available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, summer schedules, and, occasional off-campus courses: biology, chemistry, health, mathematics, music, physical education, and physics. For these licenses, the education and degree completion courses are taken weekday evenings and summer while some, if not all, of the content area courses are taken during the weekday and/or off-campus. The weekday evening schedule is comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. In general, classes are held every other week, face to face with online instruction in the intervening week. The weekday schedule is also comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. Classes offered during the weekday meet one to three times per week. Classes offered jointly between weekday and weekend meet on a weekly basis in the evening. The official academic calendars can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Curriculum—Teaching Licenses K-6 Elementary Education This program is designed to prepare teachers for grades K-6. Optional endorsements in middle school specialty areas of math, science, social studies, and communication arts can be pursued along with or separately from the K-6 license. The teaching license and some endorsements are offered at both undergraduate and graduate levels through a mix of undergraduate courses and combined graduate and undergraduate courses. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and have been admitted to the MAE program. All of the following courses must be taken for K-6 elementary licensure. Up to seven courses may be taken at the graduate (500) level and applied toward the MAE degree. EDC 200/522 - Orientation to Education in an Urban Setting* EDC 206/566 - Diversity/Minnesota American Indians EDC 310/533 - Learning and Development in an Educational Setting* EDC 410/544 - Learners with Special Needs* EDC 490/580 - School and Society EED 225/524 - Foundations of Literacy EED 325/525 - K-6 Methods: Literacy* EED 350/550 - K-6 Methods: Math EED 360/560 - K-6 Methods: Science To complete the license, the following undergraduate requirements must be completed: HPE 115 - Chemical Dependency Education EDC 220 - Educational Technology EED 326 - Elementary Reading K-6 Field Experience* (taken concurrently with EED 325/525) EED 311 - K-6 Methods: Health 33 EED 312 - K-6 Methods: Physical Education EED 336 - Advanced Literacy Methods* EED 341 - K-6 Methods: Art EED 370 - K-6 Methods: Social Studies/Thematics EED 380 - Kindergarten Methods* EED 386 - K-6 Methods: Children’s Literature EED 481, 483, 485 - Student Teaching: Elementary K-6 EED 489 - Teacher Performance Assessment and Student Teaching Seminar *Field experience hours are required in these courses. Students spend 20 or more hours per term in field experiences. These experiences occur in K-6 classrooms during the weekday. If more than one course with field experience is taken in a given term, field experience requirements expand accordingly (i.e., two courses with 20 hours of field experience each require a total of 40 hours). Undergraduate Liberal Arts Requirements The number of supporting content area courses required for licensure depends upon the courses completed as part of the bachelor’s degree and/or other coursework. Requirements are determined by Minnesota licensure standards for specific college-level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary licensure. Specific requirements are on file in the Education Department. Minnesota licensure standards allow for optional subject area endorsements in communication arts/literature, social studies, math, and science. Subject matter courses for these endorsements will be available through a combination of weekday, evening and off-campus courses. Specific requirements for these endorsements are on file in the Education Department. Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. The Education Department and the content area departments determine the courses that are accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. Courses that are older than five years are judged on a case-by-case basis. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree. The program has limits on the amount and type of courses that are accepted. Grades of B or better are required for transfer consideration. See the MAE program director for approval of graduate coursework accepted in transfer. Preprimary Endorsement for Elementary Licensure (Suspended for 2015-16) This endorsement can be added to a K-6 elementary license. Required courses include the following: PSY 250 - Child Development (PSY 105 is a prerequisite for this course) SOC 231 - Family Systems: Cross Cultural Perspectives or SPE 490/540 - Parent and Professional Planning (Graduate students take SPE 540.) ECE 345/545 - Foundations of Preprimary Education ECE 346/546 - Learning Environments for Preprimary-Aged Children ECE 347/547 - Immersion and Teaching Competence ECE 488, 489 - Student Teaching: Preprimary K-12 and 5-12 Secondary Education K-12 and 5-12 licenses in several content areas are offered through a combination of graduate and undergraduate coursework. K-12 licenses prepare teachers to teach a content area across elementary, middle school, and high school. Licenses for grades 5- 12 prepare teachers to teach at the middle and high school levels. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet MAE admissions criteria. Subject matter courses in the following majors are offered on weekday evenings and summer: English, communications (for communication arts), art and selected social science courses. Students seeking 5–12 licensure in social studies must 34 complete a broad-based core of courses in the social studies in addition to a social science major. Education courses for these licenses are also taken during weekday evenings and summer. The following content area majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry, physics, health, physical education, music, and mathematics. Students seeking licensure in any of these areas typically will need to take additional content courses in the weekday schedule and off-campus. Students can obtain a 9-12 license in physics, chemistry, or biology and have the option of adding the 5–8 general science to the 9-12 license. Students also can obtain the 5–8 general science license without the 9–12 license. Education courses for these licenses are taken during weekday evenings. Licensure Requirements The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure; four to seven of them also may be taken at the graduate level and applied toward the master’s degree in education. EDC 200/522 - Orientation to Education in an Urban Setting* EDC 206/566 - Diversity/Minnesota American Indians EDC 310/533 - Learning and Development in an Educational Setting* EDC 410/544 - Learners with Special Needs* EDC 490/580 - School and Society ESE 325/525 - Creating Learning Environments ESE 300/500 - Reading and Writing in Content Area* To complete the license, students also will need to complete the following requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE 115 - Chemical Dependency Education EDC 220 - Educational Technology ESE 3XX - K-12 or 5-12 Methods (in the content area)* ESE 481, 483, 485 - Student Teaching: Secondary ESE 489 - Teacher Performance Assessment and Student Teaching Seminar *Field experience hours are required in these courses. A minimum of 100 hours in classrooms and education-related settings is required prior to student teaching. Students spend approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences. Undergraduate Content Area Requirements The equivalent of a major in the licensure content area is required for K-12 and 5-12 licenses. Students who have majored in a field in which we offer licensure must have their previous coursework evaluated by the major department at Augsburg. Two or more content area courses tied to Minnesota licensure standards are generally required, even with a completed academic major. Previous coursework is evaluated by the content area department and accepted if it meets Minnesota licensure standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. Coursework older than five years is judged on a case-by-case basis. Specific course requirements for each content area are on file in the Education Department. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree program. See the MAE program director for approval to use graduate level transfer courses in the degree program. Special Education Augsburg College offers licensure in K–12 Special Education: Academic Behavioral Strategist (ABS). This program qualifies students to teach in special education programs and positions working with students with mild to moderate disabilities in the areas of emotional/behavioral disabilities, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disabilities, developmental and cognitive disabilities and other health disabilities. This program is built on an inclusive education model. Under this model, students learn how to work closely with both special and general educators to facilitate inclusion of special education students into the regular education classroom. Five years after being licensed, teachers must extend their license in one of the above categories through additional coursework. 35 Also available is the Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort (temporarily suspended for 2015)—this graduate licensure program in Special Education: EBD/LD is designed and taught from an American Indian perspective. It is offered in collaboration with the University of Minnesota-Duluth as a hybrid (partly face-to-face and partly online) cohort program. The licensure courses can be applied towards the MAE degree. See the Education Department and for more information. The ABS licensure program is offered through weeknight and summer schedules. The Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort program is offered primarily online with weekend sessions at the beginning and end of each semester. Licensure Requirements Licensure requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Classes will include both undergraduate and graduate students, with graduate students having additional course responsibilities. Graduate courses are taken at the 500 level.

This program is based on an innovative internship model that allows students employed in special education classrooms to fulfill a portion of their special education field experience requirements while they work. Students not employed in these settings are expected to complete a significant number of volunteer hours in special education settings. All must complete field placements or student teaching in classrooms serving these populations. Hours must be completed across elementary, middle school, and high school and include experiences with the five areas of disability that are part of this license. Specific information on field experience requirements is available from the Education Department. Licensure Requirements—EBD/LD–Naadamaadiwin Special Education Tribal Cohort This program is available only at the graduate level.

This license qualifies teachers to work with K-12 students for whom English is a second language across a range of subject areas. The K-12 ESL licensure program is comprised of both undergraduate and graduate courses; up to seven of the graduate courses can apply to the completion of the MAE degree. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and have been admitted to the MAE program. A pre-requisite to program admissions is two years of high school level or one year of college level language instruction. The K-12 ESL program is offered in a hybrid format which means that courses are a mix of face to face and online instruction. Classes are offered during the academic year in the evening semester framework and during summer session to make them accessible to working adults. This license is also offered as an undergraduate major to Augsburg Undergraduate (AU) students seeking a baccalaureate degree. The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure, and up to seven also may be taken at the graduate level and applied toward the master’s degree in education. EDC 200/522 - Orientation to Education in an Urban Setting* EDC 206/566 - Diversity/MN American Indians EDC 310/533 - Learning and Development in an Educational Setting* EDC 410/544 - Learners with Special Needs* EED 325/525 - K-6 Methods: Literacy* ESE 325/525 - Creating Learning Environments* ESL 330/510 - History and Structure of the English Language ESL 340/520 - ESL Literacy* ESL 490/530 - Language, Culture, and Schools ESL 420/540 - ESL Methods* To complete the license, students also will need to complete the following requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE 115 - Chemical Dependency Education EDC 220 - Educational Technology EED 326 - Elementary Reading K-6 Field Experience (taken concurrently with EED 325/525) ESL 310 - Second Language Acquisition ESL 320 - Introduction to Linguistics ESL 410 - ESL Testing and Evaluation ESL 481, 483 - Student Teaching: Elementary ESL 485, 487 - Student Teaching: Secondary ESL 489 - Teacher Performance Assessment and Student Teaching Seminar *This course has a 20 hour field experience attached to it. 37 Student Teaching Students are required to complete student teaching for initial and additional licenses (unless otherwise indicated). In the MAE program, student teaching is generally completed before finishing the degree. Students can apply for licensure at this point and finish the degree later. Student teaching for elementary, secondary, and K-12 initial licenses lasts 12-14 weeks, depending on licensure scope. During that time, students work full-time as student teachers and are supervised by an Augsburg faculty member. Students register for eight to twelve semester credits of student teaching and a two semester credit edTPA and student teaching seminar. They meet at Augsburg College for student teaching seminars several times during the term. Most student teaching placements are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area and Rochester. However, students do have the opportunity to student teach abroad, where students complete a 10-week student teaching experience in the metro area and then complete another student teaching experience abroad. Opportunities to teach abroad are available around the world, and it is a wonderful way to build a global perspective in education. Additional information is available through the Education Department. Curriculum—Graduate Degree Completion Options Students take graduate coursework as part of the licensure program. This coursework forms the Master of Arts in Education licensure core, with between four to seven Augsburg graduate-level licensure courses fulfilling master’s requirements. Students bringing fewer than seven graduate-level licensure courses or 21 semester credits into the degree program must complete additional Master of Arts in Leadership (ML) or education graduate courses to reach the required 30-33 semester credits for the MAE degree. To finish out the master’s degree, students will need to complete one of the following options. Action Research Degree Completion Option (Minimum 30 credits) This degree completion option requires a minimum of three classes totaling at least nine semester credits: a Master of Arts in Leadership (ML) elective, EDC 592 Action Research 1, and EDC 593 Action Research 2. The action research courses guide the student through completion of a long-term action research project, typically conducted in the student’s classroom and focused on a question or concern identified by the student. The research is presented at an action research symposium and a formal written report of the research is placed in Lindell Library. The coursework for action research is designed to be completed in two semesters; the project itself is done once the research is presented at an action research symposium and the paper is accepted for placement in Lindell Library. Additional terms beyond those in which the courses are completed are available through continuing registration for up to 12 semesters at no further charge. Leadership Application Project (LAP) Degree Completion Option (Minimum 30 credits) This degree completion option requires a minimum of three classes totaling at least nine semester credits: an ML elective, EDC 514 – Research Methods - Education focus or ML 514 - Evaluating Empirical Research and EDC 585 Leadership Application Project. Students electing this degree completion option do so because they are interested in developing an educational product that meets an identified need.   The goal for those developing an educational product is to identify an issue or problem related to their practice, and after researching available literature, develop a solution to the problem or issue. The solution might be developed in the form of a curriculum, a workshop, a set of informational materials, a website, an article for publication or other appropriate educational product. This option is completed with a final oral presentation and placement of the final paper in the Lindell Library. Additional terms beyond those in which the courses are completed are available through continuing registration for up to 12 semesters at no further charge. Performance Assessment/Teacher Leadership Degree Completion Option (Minimum 33 credits) This degree completion option focuses on the theme of the MAE degree program - teacher leadership - and requires a minimum of the following four classes: One ML leadership-focused course 38 EDC 570 - Teacher Leadership EDC 514 - Research Methods (ML 514 can be substituted if necessary) EDC 594 - Performance Assessment Project Students electing this degree completion option do so because they are especially interested in considering leadership within the context of education and themselves as potential change agents. EDC 594 must be taken as the last course in this sequence. Students finish their degree through this option with the successful completion of these four classes. Alternate Settings—MAE in Rochester In step with Augsburg College’s excellent reputation in the field of education, the Master of Arts in Education program is also offered in Rochester, MN. Licenses are available in elementary education and special education: ABS. Classes primarily meet weekday evenings and summer at Bethel Lutheran Church in Rochester. Elementary education The K-6 elementary education license allows students to teach in grade K-6. Augsburg College offers this license at the graduate level to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet admissions requirements. Courses for this license are available in Rochester. Special education The K-12 Academic Behavior Specialist (ABS) program is designed for students currently working with or planning to work with students with mild to moderate special needs. The program leads to Minnesota teaching licensure in special education and the ability to work with students whose special needs are categorized as EBD, LD, DCD, ASD, and/or OHI. All courses for these licenses are available in Rochester. The Performance Assessment degree completion option is offered in Rochester as needed, typically every other year. MAL Elective Courses At least one elective must be taken from the Master of Arts in Leadership courses. The following are recommended, but others may also be used. Course descriptions can be found in the MAL portion of the graduate catalog. ML 510 - Visions of Leadership: A Historical and Literary Journey ML 511 - Creativity and the Problem-Solving Process ML 520 – Self-Identity and Values: Keys to Authentic Leadership ML 530 - Ethics in Communication ML 531 - The Dynamics of Change ML 545 - Decision Making and Leadership ML 550 - Communication, Decision Making, and Technology ML 560 - Cultural Competence and Effective Leadership ML 565 - Women and Leadership ML 599 - Topics For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. Admission to MAE Admission Requirements Students admitted into the MAE licensure and degree programs must have:   Bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited four-year institution Cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher (required for full admission for the graduate licensure option and degree program). Students with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5-2.99 may be admitted conditionally into the graduate licensure program. To be admitted to the MAE degree completion program, all students must have a 3.0 or better Augsburg GPA. 39 Application Checklist The following items must be sent to the Augsburg Office of Admissions:     Completed application form - www.augsburg.edu/mae $35 non-refundable application fee Personal summary outlining your tentative educational objectives and reasons for wanting to attend Augsburg Official academic transcripts from all previously attended post-secondary institutions (including colleges, universities, vocational/technical schools, and PSEO institutions) sent directly to the Admissions Office. Admission as an International Student International applicants must submit the required application materials listed above. Refer to the additional requirements outlined in Admission of International Students. Transfer Policy Acceptance of previous education coursework completed at institutions other than Augsburg College is limited. Most courses that have not been completed in the last seven years are considered to be too old to transfer and need to be completed as part of one’s program at Augsburg. EDC 310/533 - Learning and Development, EDC 220 - Education Technology, and ESE 3XX - K-12/5-12 Special Methods in Content Area are courses which may have a shorter acceptance time frame. Additional information on the transfer policy is available through the Education Department. Credit Evaluation: An official transfer credit evaluation of previous academic work will be completed as part of the admissions process. Education coursework is evaluated by the Education Department. For secondary licenses, content area coursework is evaluated by the content area department. This process is initiated as part of the admissions process. Generally, the requirement for secondary licensure is that two or more classes in the content area must be taken at Augsburg, even with an undergraduate major in the field. In all cases, previous undergraduate courses must have received a grade of C or better to be eligible for transfer. Previous graduate coursework must have received a grade of B or better to be considered. Acceptance into the MAE Program Application files are reviewed by the MAE director. Applicants are notified of the admission decision by the Office of Admissions, usually within one to two weeks after the application file is complete. Applicants whose cumulative undergraduate GPA is below 2.5 will not be admitted into the MAE program; however, these applicants can be reconsidered when additional undergraduate coursework raises the cumulative undergraduate GPA to 2.5 or above. An exception to this occurs when the applicant has completed an advanced degree with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better. Under these circumstances, the applicant can be considered for full admission into the MAE degree and licensure programs. Advising and Registration Admitted students are able to participate in academic advising and the registration process. Typically, first-term registration occurs with intake advising. After the first term, students generally are able to register online through Records and Registration. All students are assigned an Education Department advisor early in the first semester of courses. Academic Policies Application to the Education Department Once accepted to the College and the MAE program, students may take designated courses in education and content areas. Prior to beginning the methods courses within a program, students must be admitted to the Education Department. This admissions process is outlined in the EDC 200/522 - Orientation to Education and in admissions handbooks, which are available through the Education Department. 40 Academic Achievement All MAE students are expected to achieve and maintain 3.0 or better GPA in their Augsburg course work. Students whose cumulative GPA falls between 2.5 and 2.99 at the end of their licensure program are able to complete the license but are not eligible for the degree. Students with cumulative GPA’s below 2.5 may not student teach and are subject to academic probation and possible dismissal. In all cases, a cumulative GPA on the Augsburg graduate transcript must be at 3.0 or better to be admitted to the degree completion component of the MAE degree. Students who are ready to begin the degree completion component must file an Intent to Complete form (available through the MAE coordinator) at which point a transcript review is completed to confirm the 3.0 or better GPA and to determine the completed courses that apply to the degree and the courses that remain. Minimum Grade Policy Students who fail to maintain a cumulative 2.5 GPA in a given term are notified that they must raise their GPA to the required level. Students who receive below a 2.0 in any undergraduate course or 2.5 in any graduate course required for licensure are expected to repeat the course as soon as possible and raise the grade to the appropriate level. Dismissal from Licensure and Degree Program Students may be dismissed from the licensure program prior to and during student teaching for failure to maintain appropriate academic and teaching-based performance standards, for gross violation of College policy, and/or for conduct in violation of professional ethics. Dismissal occurs within the context of established department procedures described in the Education Department Handbook available through the Education Department. Students have the right to appeal dismissal from the licensure program on the grounds of procedural error, using the College’s program dismissal appeals process. Information about the program dismissal appeals process is available in the Augsburg Student Guide. Students who fail to complete the license may have the option to finish the degree. Fieldwork Requirements Fieldwork experiences are tied to several licensure courses. In most cases, these experiences are conducted within a service-learning framework, providing service to the school and classroom while also providing students’ opportunities for focused reflection linked back to course objectives. In general, students should plan for a minimum of 20 hours field experience per term. When multiple courses with field experience are taken in the same term, the requirements expand accordingly. Students in field experiences are evaluated by their host K-12 teachers on the basis of criteria drawn from the Minnesota Standards of Effective Practice. Evaluations are kept in the students’ Education Department files and used in decisions regarding progress through the program and student teaching. A full description of field experience requirements is available in the Education Department Handbook. Readmission and Withdrawal Students in good standing who fail to register for courses for two terms (not including summer) are withdrawn from the MAE program. To be readmitted to the College and the MAE program, students file a Readmission form through the Registrar’s Office. Program Costs In addition to tuition, students in this program can expect to pay a data maintenance fee upon admission to the department, as well as liability insurance at the student rate during student teaching and the cost of a background check for licensure and, possibly, field experience. In addition, optional international travel courses have associated costs above and beyond the charge for tuition. Full-time Faculty Elizabeth M. Ankeny, Associate Professor of Education.

Organizations seek leaders who possess:      An ethically and morally responsible vision An understanding of how change occurs and how it can be managed A sensitivity to the complex problems of organizations and an ability to find solutions consistent with their mission Cultural competence and sensitivity to the needs of a diverse population The ability to inspire and motivate people to work toward a common goal The Augsburg leadership development model provides a framework through which the program recruits its students and develops their skills. Program Overview The study of leadership is central to Augsburg College. The College mission statement says, “Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.” The Master of Arts in Leadership is quintessentially Augsburg. The integrated liberal arts perspective on leadership education is what we think of as the “Augsburg difference.” The Master of Arts in Leadership is the core program of Augsburg’s Center for Leadership Studies (CLS). Developed and launched in 1987, it is Augsburg’s oldest graduate degree and one of the oldest leadership graduate degrees in the United States. The program responds to the leadership development needs of both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. MAL has a deep theoretical base in leadership studies, yet also offers its students practical approaches to leadership that can be applied in the workplace and society. Leadership Development Model The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that:    Inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources Promotes productivity within and beyond the organization Works toward progress for the individual and the organization To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to persuade, and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are abilities and awareness, outlined in the Leadership Development Model, which serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg’s model of leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the individual. Learning Goals and Outcomes The MAL program is designed to support students in developing the knowledge and skills to:       Explore the nature and practice of leadership in a wide variety of dynamic organizational and community settings Develop a personal understanding and philosophy of leadership Aspire to be responsible leaders who are informed citizens, critical thinkers, and thoughtful stewards Enhance knowledge of self and the capacity to be reflective learners Analyze and navigate increasingly complex changing environments Formulate and articulate a shared vision in order to inspire others to achieve desired goals MAL Courses Each course encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners. Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity. These techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and 43 understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative abilities. Plan of Study Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL program is based on the assumption that the students who enroll are career-oriented, self-disciplined, and well-motivated individuals seeking a balance of classroom experience, group interaction, and individual study. Courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for discussion and dialogue. The program features classes taught by faculty from multiple disciplines and offers two formats to allow students to choose the option that works best for them. Both formats offer a combination of classroom and online learning styles in different proportions. The classic classroom format emphasizes face-to-face instruction augmented by online work. The integrated hybrid format combines online and intensive learning experiences with occasional sessions in a traditional classroom setting. Two Convenient Formats: Classic Classroom and Integrated Hybrid Cohort Overview of Classic Classroom Format For nearly 30 years, our classic classroom format has featured a flexible choice model that allows students to select courses that focus on individual goals, interests, and learning style. Students can also determine the pace at which they move through the program. This format offers numerous electives and allows for individualized studies. Some online work is incorporated into this format. Schedule During fall and spring semesters, classes usually meet every other Saturday morning or afternoon for four hours. Additional instruction time is provided online. Seven Saturday sessions are included in one semester. Some select classes meet on Monday evenings. Students can take a combination of Saturday and Monday courses. A sample class schedule in the classic classroom format: Period I Saturday 8:00 am to 12:00 pm Period II Saturday 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm Period III Weeknights 6:00 pm to 9:45 pm Note: Each class taken commits a student to Period I, Period II, or Period III, an average of two meetings a month. A few courses are taught on an immersion model, which features fewer but longer sessions. The MAL program also offers summer semester courses in seven-week, fourteen-week, or special immersion formats. Most summer semester courses meet on weeknights from 6:00 pm to 9:45 pm rather than on Saturdays. Curriculum Four core courses: ML 505 - Foundations of Leadership ML 514 - Evaluating Empirical Research ML 580 - Colloquium on Contemporary Theories of Leadership ML 585 - Integrating the Theory and Practice of Responsible Leadership (Capstone Course) Seven electives, selected from more than 20 offerings* *Students may petition the program to do a thesis in place of two of the elective courses. Students who do the thesis are required to develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of leadership or of a leadership-related topic and register for ML 592 Thesis Consultation I and ML 593 Thesis Consultation II. Students electing to write a thesis are still required to take ML 585 to complete the program. 44 Elective courses for the Classic Classroom format The MAL program requires that seven elective courses be selected from the following course list. All courses are 3 semester credits: ML 510 - Visions of Leadership ML 511 - Creativity and the Problem-Solving Process ML 520 - Self-Identity and Values: Keys to Authentic Leadership ML 527 - Spirituality and Leadership in the Workplace ML 530 - Ethics in Communication ML 531 - The Dynamics of Change ML 535 - Organization Theory and Leadership ML 536 - Facilitating Organizational Change ML 538 - Communication Skills for Leadership ML 539 - Communicating a Self in the Modern Organization ML 540 - Political Leadership: Theory and Practice ML 545 - Decision Making and Leadership ML 548 - Coaching and Consulting ML 550 - Communication, Decision Making, and Technology ML 553 - Design and Leadership ML 557 - Language of Leadership ML 560 - Cultural Competence and Effective Leadership ML 563 - Leadership in a Global Society ML 565 - Women and Leadership ML 570 - Negotiation: Theory and Practice ML 574 - Strategic Leadership ML 575 - Constructive Conflict Resolution ML 576 - Leading Innovation ML 577 - Universal Responsibility and Leadership: A Nicaraguan Experience ML 598 - Independent Study ML 599 - Topics Overview of Integrated Hybrid Cohort Format A combination of online, classroom, and experiential learning The integrated hybrid model is completed in two years with a combination of intensive face-to-face sessions and online coursework. Students complete the program with a cohort of peers representing many different perspectives. Students learn from each other and build relationships that will provide support throughout the program and a valuable network for the future. Schedule After starting with a five-day summer experience, classes meet on a semester schedule September through mid-April (fall and spring semesters) and mid-May through mid-August (summer semester). Coursework will be online and supported by three on-campus class sessions per term. Curriculum *ML 505 - Foundations of Leadership ML 512 - Responsible Leadership for the 21st Century (Intensive) *ML 514 - Evaluating Empirical Research ML 520 - Self-Identity and Values: Keys to Authentic Leadership ML 535 - Organization Theory and Leadership ML 553 - Design and Leadership ML 563 - Leadership in a Global Society 45 ML 574 - Strategic Leadership ML 577 - Universal Responsibility and Leadership: A Nicaraguan Experience (or alternative elective) *ML 580 - Colloquium of Contemporary Theories of Leadership *ML 585 - Integrating the Theory and Practice of Responsible Leadership (Capstone Course) * Core courses offered in the integrated hybrid format (required for all students) A sequenced list of seven electives is prepared for each cohort. In the cohort program, students complete 11 courses, including a capstone course (ML 585). MBA/MAL Dual Degree The dual degree program takes advantage of the intellectual benefits of studying business administration and leadership in a coordinated program. It leverages Augsburg’s long tradition of graduate leadership training via the MA in Leadership with the robust demand for business education through our MBA program. The dual degree provides students with the leadership skills needed to run a business and, at the same time, helps them develop the comprehensive outlook they need to thrive in today’s interconnected world. A minimum of 18 Augsburg courses completes the MBA/MA in Leadership dual degree, including at least 7 MBA courses and 7 MA in Leadership courses. The following dual degree program requirements must be met. 7 courses are required from MBA courses:  MBA 510 – Applied Managerial Economics  MBA 520 – Accounting for Business Managers  MBA 530 – Managerial Finance  MBA 540 – Business and Professional Ethics  MBA 550 – Marketing Management  MBA 570 – Quantitative Decision Making for Managers  MBA 580 – Management Consulting Project 4 core courses are required from MA in Leadership courses with 3 MAL elective courses:  ML 505 – Foundations of Leadership  ML 514 – Evaluating Empirical Research  ML 580 – Colloquium on Contemporary Theories of Leadership  ML 585 -- Integrating the Theory and Practice of Responsible Leadership  ML Electives (3) Three Focus Area Courses Students will choose one course from each of the focus areas: Focus Area #1: Organizational Development  MBA 545 – Organizational Behavior  ML 535 – Organization Theory and Leadership  Director approved course with organizational development focus Focus Area #2: Global/Multicultural Perspective  MBA 565 – Managing in a Global Environment  ML 560 – Cultural Competence and Effective Leadership  ML 563 – Leadership in a Global Society  Director approved course with global/multicultural focus 46 Focus Area #3: Strategic Leadership  MBA 595 – Strategic Management  ML 574 – Strategic Leadership  Director approved course with strategic leadership focus One Additional Elective Course Elective course may be taken in either MBA or MA in Leadership Program Admission to the Dual Degree Program Admission for the dual degree program is handled on a “rolling” basis and requires applicants to hold a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited four-year college or university. Official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions are required as well as a current résumé and two recommendations. An interview with the program director is also part of the admissions process. Although we do accept the GMAT and GRE, we also offer candidates an alternative math and writing profile assessment entitled the Individual Learning Profile (ILP) which provides a picture of candidate’s math and writing (verbal) competency detailing strengths and areas of improvement. The profile is not an admissions screening instrument and will be used as a platform to develop a skills improvement plan for students should they need it. Earning the dual degree during or after the MBA or MA in Leadership program Students who are currently enrolled in the MBA or MA in Leadership program or alumni who wish to return to Augsburg may add the dual degree to their existing degree by completing most of the same requirements listed on the front of this page. Students may use previously completed application pieces and coursework to help meet these requirements. Returning students may complete an abbreviated application form after consultation with the MBA or ML program director. Upon entering the MBA program, a quantitative online profile assessment must also be taken. This is used as a platform to enhance skills, if needed. Students with an MA in Leadership who wish to add the dual degree will take a minimum of 7 required MBA courses. Students will complete one course in each of the 3 focus areas if they did not complete these courses during their MAL program. Each student’s program will be slightly different based on their prior course selections. Students with an MBA will complete 4 required and 3 elective MA in Leadership courses. Students will need to complete one course in each of the 3 focus areas if they did not complete these courses during their MBA program. Each student’s program will be slightly different based on their prior course selections. Students in both programs will meet individually with the program directors to determine whether their completed final project meets the criteria aligned with the dual degree final project. Directors may ask that the project be modified or added to or ask the student to complete another project. These decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis. Certificate in Leadership Studies The certificate program is an attractive option for people who want to develop their leadership skills without undertaking a full degree program. A certificate is awarded after completion of three Augsburg MAL courses in leadership. Students pursuing this option take ML 505 - Foundations of Leadership and two additional electives. Students should meet with the program director to develop a plan for selecting the appropriate leadership elective courses. The normal application process is used for students who wish to pursue the certificate. Certificate programs are not eligible for federal student aid. 47 Joint BA in Accounting and Master of Arts in Leadership A BA in Accounting and an MA in Leadership (MAL) can be earned in this five-year program designed for students who wish to qualify for CPA certification and obtain a master’s degree. By the end of the fifth year and successful completion of all requirements, the student receives both a BA in Accounting and an MA in Leadership and will have fulfilled the 150-hour requirement to qualify for the CPA certification. The MAL program offers a large number of courses on a Saturday and weeknight schedule. Refer to the MAL program schedule for the list of courses each year and to the accounting program coordinator for a detailed academic plan. Students should meet with both the MAL director and an accounting advisor to create an effective plan for successful completion of the five-year program. General Requirements for the Accounting/MAL Program Accounting students planning to pursue the five-year degree must apply for admission to the MAL program at the end of their junior year. The application process includes submission of:       Completed application form Two letters of recommendation (one from a professor and one from an employer) Personal statement Example of applicant’s writing in an academic paper GPA of at least 3.30 Interview with the Director of the MAL program Students must also have faculty endorsement from the Accounting program. Students must complete at least one year of accounting work experience (either a job or internship) by the time they graduate from the MAL program. Program Coordinator: Professor Stu Stoller. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.

Should an applicant not meet the minimum admission requirements, a conditional admission may be possible as decided on a case-by-case basis. Applicants to the program must have two years of experience (or equivalent) with one or more organizations in a position of leadership or position demonstrating leadership potential. Applicants holding a master’s or other advanced degrees from accredited colleges or universities are admissible. Decisions about admission to the program will be made on an individual basis by the MAL Admissions Committee. Admission is handled on a “rolling” basis, with students admitted at the beginning of the fall, spring, and summer terms. Selection of candidates will be made on the basis of an evaluation of each applicant’s: Previous college record Letters of recommendation Experience and organizational background Written statement Interview, if requested Application Checklist The following materials must be submitted to the Office of Admissions:   Completed application form $35 non-refundable application fee (waived if online application is used) 48       A 1-3 page statement relating the applicant’s career and life goals to leadership aspirations Recommendation letter from an immediate supervisor, assessing leadership potential Recommendation letter from a work colleague (at the same level) describing the applicant’s work style and leadership potential Official transcripts from all undergraduate institutions attended, listing all courses taken and any degree(s) conferred Official transcripts from all graduate institutions attended, listing courses taken and degree(s) conferred, if any. Résumé Applicants may be asked to participate in an interview with graduate program faculty and/or staff members. For further information, contact: Office of Admissions, 612-330-1101, gradinfo@augsburg.edu or www.augsburg.edu/mal. Admission as an International Student International applicants must submit the required application materials listed above. Refer to the additional requirements outline in Admission of International Students in the Graduate Admissions section. Academic Policies Academic Evaluation Courses not offered on the numbered grading system are noted in the course descriptions in this catalog as being graded on P/N basis. In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 3.0. No more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will count toward the degree. No more than two courses with a grade of or below 2.5 can be repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are counted in the grade point average. Any course with a grade of 2.0 or lower will be transcribed as 0.0 academic credit. In order to graduate, a student must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above. All required courses and the final projects must be successfully completed. A student registered for a final course may be permitted to participate in commencement but will not receive a diploma until all courses are successfully completed. Academic Probation and Dismissal Policies Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If a student receives a grade of N or 0.0 in a course, the student must petition successfully with the MAL director before being allowed to continue in the program. A plan for the student to follow would be outlined at that time. If a second grade of N or 0.0 is received, the student may be dismissed from the program. Students may also be dismissed for behavior detrimental to the program, such as a gross violation of College policy (as published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would occur only after established procedures were followed. MAL Program Enrollment Policy Students normally take either one or two courses per semester. Enrolling in two courses per semester (including summer semester) enables a student to complete the coursework in the program within two years. Students who are away from classes for one year or longer must complete an Application for Readmission and submit it to the Registrar’s Office. Students who have been out of the program for more than two years may, at the discretion of the program director, be required to take additional courses to refresh their understanding of the field.

Vice President and Practice Area Leader, MDA Leadership Consulting Inc. 50 Master of Arts in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice Welcome to graduate nursing education at Augsburg College. Our classes are made up of students representing a dynamic mix of cultures, spiritual traditions, and life-ways. It is exciting for us to offer experienced nurses transforming educational opportunities and engaging transcultural encounters that expand career choices and advance nursing practice. The increasing diversity of our population today challenges all of us to respond to individual health care needs with creativity and competence in a variety of emerging care settings. The Master of Arts in Nursing program is designed to prepare nurses for those evolving contexts of care. Students can choose between two tracks of study: Transcultural Nursing and Transformational Nursing Leadership. Each track of study emphasizes leadership skills, inter-professional collaboration and ways to serve persons in a variety of care settings. The post-master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program builds on the MAN and prepares nurses for innovative health leadership and advanced nursing practice at local and system-wide levels. Drawing on a transcultural nursing (TCN) foundation, the DNP-TCN curriculum embraces integrative health care and holistic nursing practice to maximize health for individuals and communities. Emphasis is on eliminating health inequities through peaceful, just, and collaborative actions that uphold and improve human potential. Students design their own scholarly paths defined by their unique gifts, interests, and practice goals. Throughout the DNP-TCN program, there are a range of opportunities for collaboration across cultures, socio-economic strata and care systems. The post-BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) to DNP/Family Nurse Practitioner (DNP/FNP) track of study prepares nurses for advanced nursing leadership and integrative primary care of families across cultures and care settings. Using transcultural nursing as a foundation, the DNP/FNP curriculum embraces integrative healthcare and holistic nursing practice. The curriculum emphasizes knowledge, skills and values that foster one’s ability to lead change, while addressing health needs and concerns of families and communities. Nursing scholarship and advanced autonomous practice frame the critical exploration of knowledge in transcultural nursing, integrative healthcare practices, transformational leadership, and health assessment. Classes in both the DNP and MAN programs are offered on the Augsburg campus and at Bethel Lutheran Church in Rochester, MN, where our branch campus is located. Some of the DNP-FNP classes are held at Hermitage Farm Center For Healing, Rochester, MN. Class formats vary: face-to-face, video conferencing or immersions with on-line components. However, students and faculty are committed to driving from one site to the other at least once during each semester to be physically present and together. Building relationships is important to us. Program faculty and staff are available at both sites and eager to assist students. Joyce P. Miller, DNP, RN Lisa M. VanGetson, DNP, RN, FNP-C, APHN-BC Chair, Department of Nursing Director, Doctor of Nursing Practice – Director, Master of Arts in Nursing Program Family Nurse Practitioner Program and Doctor of Nursing Practice Program Transcultural Nursing Track 51 Master of Arts in Nursing Mission Within the context of liberal arts education and guided by the values of the Lutheran Church, the Master of Arts in Nursing program prepares nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural nursing practice across care settings with particular emphasis on promoting health equity locally and globally. Students select from two tracks of study—Transformational Nursing Leadership or Transcultural Nursing. Both tracks prepare nurse leaders to assume a wide variety of roles and responsibilities throughout the healthcare system and in emerging care settings in communities. Curriculum The MAN curriculum is organized into 33 semester credits –15 semester credits in a Nursing Core, in which all students enroll, and 18 semester credits in one of the two Tracks of Study. Practica are taken concurrently with most courses and are integrated throughout the program. Each semester credit of practicum is equal to 45 clock hours of practice. Students select a track of study when applying to the program, however, this is not essential until after one’s first semester. Students may study full-time (6-8 semester credits per term) or part-time (4 semester credits per term). Time to degree completion takes an average 22 months when studying full-time, and 32 months when studying part-time. Nursing Core Courses (15 semester credits) The core nursing courses integrate a strong foundation of social justice incorporating multiple ways of knowing with curricular emphasis on nursing science, art, and theory to guide practice. NUR 500 - Transcultural Health Care (3 semester credits) NUR 500P - Practicum: Transcultural Health Care (1 semester credit) NUR 541 - Politics of Health (3 semester credits) NUR 541P - Practicum: Politics of Health Care (1 semester credit) NUR 505 - Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Nursing Practice (3 semester credits) NUR 505P - Practicum: Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Practice Nursing (1 semester credit) NUR 520 - Research Methods in Nursing (3 semester credits) Transformational Nursing Leadership Track (18 semester credits) The Transformational Nursing Leadership track is designed to develop nurse leaders’ ability to critically analyze, articulate, and develop effective strategies to cope with high level health care disparities. Curricular emphasis is on interprofessional collaboration across care settings. Participation in nursing leadership practica in traditional and emerging care settings adds depth and meaning to classroom dialogue. Practica also provide opportunities for students to apply knowledge and gain experience partnering with diverse care providers, populations, and communities to address health inequities in creative and relevant ways. Transformational Nursing Leadership track courses include: NUR 501 - Nursing Leadership in Complex Adaptive Systems (3 semester credits) NUR 501P - Practicum: Nursing Leadership in Complex Adaptive Systems (1 semester credit) NUR 521 - Transformational Nursing Leadership (3 semester credits) NUR 521P - Practicum: Transformational Nursing Leadership (1 semester credit) NUR 523 - Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (3 semester credits) NUR 523P - Practicum: Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (2 semester credits) NUR 525 - Graduate Field Project (3 semester credits) NUR 525P - Practicum: Graduate Field Project (2 semester credits) Students graduating from the Transformational Leadership Track of the master’s program are eligible to apply to the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for certification as a Nurse Executive, Advanced and to the Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing. 52 Graduate Field Project in Transformational Nursing Leadership Students will fulfill their Master of Arts in Nursing through a final practice-focused project, which serves as the capstone of the master’s program. The last two classes in the curriculum–NUR 523 and NUR 525—emphasize the development and articulation of a final field project focused on transformational leadership. Students present their final projects in NUR 525. Transcultural Nursing Across Care Settings Track (18 semester credits) The Transcultural Nursing track in the Master of Arts in Nursing program is designed to prepare nurses for advanced practice across care settings in culturally diverse communities. The curriculum is grounded in nursing science, theoryguided practice, and transcultural principles. Emphasis is on reaching out to persons and populations that are underserved by traditional care systems and who exist outside of the social mainstream. As such, the track provides rich alternative learning opportunities for graduate students locally and internationally. Transcultural Nursing Across Care Settings track courses include: NUR 532 - Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (3 semester credits) NUR 532P – Practicum: Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (1 semester credits) NUR 530 - The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Healing (3 semester credits) NUR 530P – Practicum: The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Healing (1 semester credits) NUR 523 - Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (3 semester credits) NUR 523P – Practicum: Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (2 semester credits) NUR 525 - Graduate Field Project (3 semester credits) NUR 525P - Graduate Field Project (2 semester credits) Students graduating from the Transcultural Nursing track of the master’s program are eligible to apply to the Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing and certification in Holistic Nursing through the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation (AHNCC) (www.ahncc.org). Graduate Field Project in Transcultural Nursing Students will fulfill their Master of Arts in Nursing through a final practice-focused project, which serves as the capstone of the master’s program. The last two classes in the curriculum—NUR 523 and NUR 525—emphasize the development and articulation of a final field project focused on transcultural nursing. Students present their final projects in NUR 525. Practica Practice experience is emphasized in both tracks in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. Students earn 9 semester credits of practicum work that is equal to 405 clock hours of practice—45 clock hours per semester credit hour. Some practica are semi-structured, experiential, and led by faculty and cultural guides familiar with the communities in which the practica occur. Other practica options are student directed. Students are encouraged to immerse themselves in practice settings that serve persons underserved or excluded from mainstream health care, as emphasis in the transcultural track is on cultural diversity and health inequities across healthcare settings. Practica focusing on experiential learning with a transformational nurse leader provides students with the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of organizational dynamics and change through a complexity science paradigm. Augsburg Central Health Commons & the Inner City A unique opportunity for students to explore advanced nursing roles and new models and forms of practice is provided by the Augsburg Central Health Commons, and the Health Commons in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. Both Health Commons are nursing-led drop-in centers dedicated to serving those in need and focused on healthy individuals and communities. People from diverse backgrounds, who have health experiences grounded in wide ranging cultural contexts frequent the Health Commons for health support and reassurance. Service and care are based on respect, relationship, and collaboration that connects health and hope for all participants. Health Commons partners include Central Lutheran Church in downtown Minneapolis, Fairview Health Services, and the East Africa Health Project. 53 Study Abroad and Away The Department of Nursing works closely with cultural guides and nurse mentors in various contexts of care in emerging care settings at home and abroad. The Center for Global Education is a partner with the Department of Nursing in developing and facilitating study abroad opportunities in Guatemala, Mexico, Namibia, Pine Ridge, SD, and England.. Additional collaborative partners include the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS) in Namibia. A detailed listing of practica and immersion experiences abroad and away can be found at the nursing website (www.augsburg.edu/nursing). For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.

See detailed information in the Academic Programs and Policies 54 Attendance Policy Class attendance is expected and should be considered a key responsibility, not only to one’s self, but to one’s classmates and the course instructor. Instructors may lower grades if attendance and participation is lacking. Individual syllabi will contain individual instructors’ requirements. Because classes are held in Rochester and Minneapolis, students must prepare to drive to class at least once per term. Academic Probation and Dismissal Policies Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the MAN program. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If a student receives a grade of 2.0 or less in a course, the student must petition successfully to the faculty of the Master of Arts in Nursing program before being allowed to continue in the program. A plan for the student to follow would be outlined at that time. If a second grade of 2.0 or less is received, the student may be dismissed from the program. Students may also be dismissed for behavior detrimental to the program, such as a gross violation of college policy as published in the Student Guide. Dismissal would occur only after established procedures were followed. Credit for Prior Education Students may petition the Master of Arts in Nursing faculty for approval of transfer of credit. Transfer credits will be evaluated on an individual basis. The only courses that will be considered for transfer credit are those earned from regionally accredited colleges and universities, whose course content is comparable to course content in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. No more than nine semester credits will be accepted for transfer credit. Schedules for Classes Master’s classes are taught in a hybrid format combining in-class and web-based instruction to meet the needs of working adults. Fall and spring classes meet 6 times per semester for 5 hour periods. Summer classes meet weekly for 78 hours for 7 weeks. Video conferencing is used to connect students in Rochester, MN, with students in Minneapolis. Some driving for class is required, as students from Rochester will travel to Minneapolis one time per term and students from Minneapolis will travel to Rochester one time per term. If weather is inclement, video conferencing is used. Classes in Rochester meet at Bethel Lutheran Church at 810 3rd Ave SE, Rochester, MN. Practica are additional to courses. Students enroll in practica concurrently with enrollment in courses.

As a post-master’s program, the DNP-TCN track of study builds upon the strengths of the Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN) program and prepares nurses for advanced leadership and practice roles in Transcultural Nursing (TCN) and Holistic Nursing. Program Goals Graduates of the Doctor of Nursing Practice program are prepared to:    Negotiate the complexity of multicultural care settings and care systems to eliminate health inequities among populations and communities Challenge conventional knowledge about illness through an ecological approach to social determinants of health Lead change through building coalitions with marginalized people that are based on mutuality and common cause Program Structure The program is structured in a modified cohort model. One cohort a year will be admitted to begin in the fall term. Students can choose to take full or part-time study. Students taking full-time study take two didactic offerings, two seminars, and a practicum each semester. Students in full-time study can complete the post-master’s DNP-TCN curriculum in 20 months, including completion of the capstone project. Students selecting part-time study take one didactic offering, one seminar and a practicum each semester. As a part-time student, completion of the program is expected to take 32 months, including completion of the capstone project. The DNP curriculum is organized into 33 semester credits comprised of didactic classes, experiential practica, and seminars, with a capstone project completing the degree. As a practice doctorate, the emphasis is on building leadership and practice skills in knowledge application among diverse population groups. The goal is to improve health and decrease health inequities that lead to unnecessary morbidity and mortality in communities. Students graduating from the DNP-TCN track are eligible to apply to the Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing and certification in Holistic Nursing through the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation (AHNCC) (www.ahncc.org). Didactic A total of six didactic courses (18 semester credits) constitute the DNP program. One course equals three semester credits. The DNP courses (NUR 800 level), are taught in a variety of immersion models: one format is two days a month eight hours of class time for the first day and four hours the subsequent morning, followed by an afternoon seminar. Other courses are offered in an immersion format of 3-4 days of class per semester with 3 half-day seminars. Class attendance is expected and should be considered a key responsibility, not only to one’s self, but to one’s classmates and the course instructor. Classes are held on Augsburg’s campus in Minneapolis and in Rochester, MN, at Bethel Lutheran Church (810 3rd Ave SE) the location of Augsburg’s branch campus. Video conferencing is used for some of the classes and for distant students. However, students must be prepared to drive to Rochester and/or Minneapolis for class at least once per semester. If weather is inclement, video conferencing is used. 57 Practica Practica are organized to give flexibility and individual choice to students to support their increasing independence and depth of practice experience at the doctoral level. Students select practicum experiences that are either structured immersions in a variety of cultural contexts led by nursing faculty or are student initiated and individually directed experiences mentored by nursing faculty. In a 15-week semester, practicum hours are computed as follows:    1 semester credit hour = 2 semester credit hours = 3 semester credit hours = 45 clock hours of practicum time per semester 90 clock hours of practicum time per semester 135 clock hours of practicum time per semester To earn the DNP, students must complete a total of 1,000 practicum hours in their Master’s and DNP programs. Students will be allowed to transfer up to 600 practicum hours from their master’s in nursing into the Augsburg DNP. As such, all students will register for at least nine semester credits of practica in the post-master’s DNP-TCN. Seminars Seminars focus on integration of conceptual learning with field practice, developing the student’s particular practice interests. Students are required to participate in a doctoral seminar every semester —fall and spring—until completion of the DNP degree. Cohorts of students who enter the DNP program together usually progress as a group in the seminars in which they enroll each term, depending on whether they are studying full-time or part-time. The final seminar (NUR 841) culminates in the capstone project presentation and completion of the requirements for the DNP degree. Final DNP Capstone Project Final DNP capstone projects must make a significant impact on nursing practice and health outcomes of populations and communities, demonstrate an evidence-based contribution to existing nursing knowledge, and be suitable for presentation or publication in a peer-reviewed venue. Through this scholarly project students demonstrate leadership in synthesizing and applying scientific knowledge to practice challenges in local and/or system wide contexts of care. Students should begin working on their DNP capstone projects in the early stages of the DNP program and continue throughout the program. The student’s scholarly project is planned in collaboration with a major faculty advisor. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. Admission to the DNP-TCN Applicants to the Doctor of Nursing Practice TCN program must have:            An earned master’s degree in nursing from a regionally-accredited institution A GPA of 3.2 on a 4.0 grading scale in master’s in nursing program A current unencumbered RN license to practice in the US. Evidence of a completed graduate research course Evidence of up-to-date immunizations Satisfactory results of a certified federal criminal background check Decisions about admission to the program will be made on an individual basis. Selection of candidates will be made on the basis of an evaluation of the following items for each applicant: Three page typed double spaced essay responding to the following excerpt from Wendell Berry’s essay, “Health in Membership.” “I believe that the community—in the fullest sense: a place and all its creatures—is the smallest unit of health and that to speak of the health of an isolated individual is a contradiction in terms.” Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended (Applicants with a college or university degree completed outside of the United States must submit an official evaluation from World Educational Services.) Three professional references A non-refundable deposit of $900 to be used to hold a place in the DNP/FNP program. The $900 will be applied to the orientation practicum. 58  A successful, personal interview with Augsburg Nursing faculty The number of applicants admitted to the DNP program will be limited and based on availability of faculty members who share a student’s practice interests and goals. Meeting the minimum admission criteria does not ensure that an applicant will be admitted to the program. Applicants who have graduated from a foreign nursing program, should submit their coursework for validation to the World Education Service (WES) and have the reports sent directly to Augsburg College. Additionally, internationallyeducated applicants may request the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) (www.cgfns.org) to forward their educational credentials report to the Minnesota State Board of Nursing. Once their credentials are verified, applicants must apply for licensure and demonstrate successful passing of the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). Nurses who have previously submitted CGFNS credential verification in a state other than Minnesota, who have passed the NCLEX, will be considered for admission and must meet the same residency requirements expected of all students. Applicants whose first language is not English must submit score evidence from TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score report of 80 on the Internet Based TOEFL (iBT) with a subscore of 20 on the written and 20 on the speaking sections. See Graduate Admissions for more information.

Emphasis is on eliminating health inequities through peaceful, just, and collaborative actions that uphold and improve human potential. The curriculum emphasizes knowledge, skills and values that foster one’s ability to lead change, while addressing health needs and concerns of families and communities. Nursing scholarship and advanced autonomous practice as a primary care Nurse Practitioner, frames the critical exploration of knowledge in transcultural nursing, integrative healthcare practices, transformational leadership, and health assessment. Program Goals Graduates of the Doctor of Nursing Practice/Family Nurse Practitioner program are prepared to:      Negotiate the complexity of multicultural care settings and care systems to eliminate health inequities among populations and communities. Challenge conventional knowledge about illness through an ecological approach to social determinants of health. Lead change through building coalitions with marginalized people that are based on mutuality and common cause. Provide primary care to persons, families and communities with particular consideration for those who are underserved and/or marginalized by dominant societal structures. Integrate scientific evidence based guidelines into clinical practice. Program Structure The program is structured to admit students beginning each fall semester. Students may take courses on a part-time or full-time basis during the completion of their 500 level courses and the pre-FNP 800 level courses. Full-time study is required during the didactic and clinical courses in the FNP course sequence during the last two years of the program. Length of program: The Post-BSN to DNP/FNP track of study leads to eligibility for certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and requires a minimum of 84 semester credit hours, including 57 didactic credit hours and 23 clinical credit hours. Didactic A total of 19 didactic courses (57 semester credits) constitute the DNP/FNP program. Didactic classes, structured practica, and clinical experiences are taught in a variety of flexible schedules that are responsive to student needs. 500 level courses consist of six classes a semester - five hours of class time, in addition to taking a one credit practicum course associated with the didactic course. The DNP courses (NUR 800 level), are taught in a variety of immersion models: one format is two days a month - eight hours of class time for the first day and four hours the subsequent morning, followed by an afternoon seminar. Other courses are offered in an immersion format of 3-4 days of class per semester with 3 half-day seminars. The FNP courses (final two years of study) are offered on Mondays approximately five times a semester, class time hours will vary from 8 to 12 hours. Web-based assignments are integrated into all classes through Moodle. Community practicum experiences may be scheduled during the class meeting days as well. Additionally, some courses may be taught in an immersion format, where students and faculty are “immersed” in a unique socio-cultural context and course content and a set number of practicum hours are condensed into seven to fourteen days. Class attendance is expected and should be considered a key responsibility, not only to one’s self, but to one’s classmates and the course instructor. Classes are held on Augsburg’s campus in Minneapolis and in Rochester, MN, at Bethel Lutheran Church (810 3rd Ave SE) the location of Augsburg’s branch campus or at Hermitage Farm Center for Healing, 6415 West River Road NW, Rochester, MN. Video conferencing is used for some of the classes. However, students must be prepared to drive to Rochester and/or Minneapolis for class at least once per semester. If weather is inclement, video conferencing is used. 60 Practica (for DNP courses) / Clinicals (for FNP courses) Practica are organized to give flexibility and individual choice to students to support their increasing independence and depth of practice experience at the doctoral level. Students select practicum experiences that are either structured immersions in a variety of cultural contexts led by nursing faculty or that are student initiated and individually directed experiences mentored by nursing faculty. FNP clinical sites will be arranged by clinical faculty. In a 15-week semester, practicum hours are computed as follows:    1 semester credit hour = 45 clock hours of practicum time per semester 2 semester credit hours = 90 clock hours of practicum time per semester 3 semester credit hours = 135 clock hours of practicum time per semester To earn the DNP/FNP, students must complete a total of 1,035 practicum hours. Students will be allowed to transfer up to 400 practicum hours from their master’s in nursing. To complete the DNP/FNP, students must complete 630 clinical hours (530 hours of primary care of the adult and 100 hours of primary care of children and women’s health and 35 clinical for integrative health). As such, all students will register for at least 23 semester credits of practica. Seminars Seminars focus on integration of conceptual learning with field practice developing the student’s particular practice interest. Students are required to participate in a total of four one-semester-credit doctoral seminars during the DNP/FNP program. The final seminar culminates in the project presentation and completion of the requirements for the DNP degree. Final DNP/FNP Capstone Project Final DNP/FNP capstone projects must make a significant impact on nursing practice and health outcomes of populations and communities, demonstrate an evidence-based contribution to existing nursing knowledge, and be suitable for presentation or publication in a peer-reviewed venue. Through this scholarly project students demonstrate leadership in synthesizing and applying scientific knowledge to practice challenges in local and/or system wide contexts of care. Students should begin working on their DNP/FNP capstone projects in the early stages of the program and continue throughout. The student’s scholarly project is planned in collaboration with a major faculty advisor. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. Admission to the DNP/FNP Applicants to the Doctor of Nursing Practice FNP program must have:         A completed application form and payment of application fee ($50 fee waived if apply on-line).

The Augsburg MBA is a rigorous and intensive educational experience. The Augsburg MBA is practical and “hands-on,” focusing on applicable skills and knowledge designed to increase your ability to think, analyze and act. Augsburg MBA students all work on a consulting project with a local business where they apply what they’ve learned in the classroom to a real-world business problem. The Augsburg MBA also provides students a unique opportunity to investigate business cultures and practices through a faculty-led international experience. Our curriculum integrates the global experience of our faculty and reflects Augsburg’s mission of developing leaders grounded in values, purpose, and vocation. The Augsburg MBA is a proven accelerated cohort-based program focused on three learning modules; Personal and Professional Development, Quantitative Decision Making and Value Creation, all built on a foundation of ethical decision-making. We encourage our students to challenge themselves, their classmates and professors to bring a new and expanded focus of the world through guided reflection and examination. Augsburg MBA students are chosen because they exhibit purpose and direction in their careers and lives, and positive engagement with their community and associates. Our MBA graduates make a difference. We invite you to become part of a growing community of Augsburg MBA alumni. Bruce E. Batten, Ph.D. Director, Master of Business Administration Program MBA Mission - “Prepare Students for Meaningful Work” Our mission is to prepare students for meaningful work by developing their decision-making skills, critical thinking and by transforming them into effective managers and leaders in service to others. The program aspires to provide an outstanding student-centered education that produces graduates who are critically astute, technically proficient, and who understand the moral and ethical consequences of their decisions on their organization and on the world. Accreditation The Augsburg MBA is a candidate for accreditation with the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). Augsburg is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission, North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the listing in the Accreditation, Approvals, and Memberships section. MBA Program Overview Today’s business leader must be able to quickly analyze situations and information and critically analyze alternatives and courses of action. The purpose of the Augsburg MBA is to prepare students to accept greater responsibility in organizations facing this dynamic and fast-evolving business culture. The curriculum of the MBA gives students the ability to think critically and ethically as they face the increased challenges of a global business environment. Quality, individual initiative, ethics, and teamwork are hallmarks of the Augsburg MBA. We have a commitment to continually improve students’ experiences and learning in the program. Our faculty is uniquely qualified to bridge theory and realworld application, giving MBA students opportunities to acquire skills and knowledge in a variety of disciplines. The Augsburg MBA offers students the flexibility of completing a general MBA or a specialized MBA with a concentration that matches their interests and career goals. Plan of Study The Augsburg MBA is an accelerated, evening program that allows working professionals to complete an MBA degree in approximately 24 months. This is accomplished by using a cohort model in which students follow a predetermined schedule with classes meeting one night a week. Students in a cohort program model stay together as a group through the sequence of classes for the duration of the program. This provides a continuous, collaborative learning process. The cohort environment fosters a cohesive learning 64 community where students learn from each another, mentor each other, and peer coach. You’ll share diverse professional expertise and experience as you work in teams on projects, case studies, presentations, and simulations, both inside and outside of class. Working both individually and in small groups enables you to enhance your strengths, build your skills, expand your business acumen, and improve your decision-making. Together as a community you’ll build personal, social, and academic abilities. Adult learners bring a wealth of work and personal life experiences with them into the classroom, multiplying the opportunities for learning. The personal connections and relationships you build with fellow students and faculty will extend into an important and valuable network as you take your career to new levels. Program Requirements The Augsburg MBA requires 42 semester credits for degree completion. Augsburg MBA courses are either one and a half or three semester credits. Each three semester credit course consists of 28-32 hours of in-class instruction and 5 ½ 9 ½ hours of online instruction through our web-based electronic course management system.

Adjustments or modifications to the MBA schedule require the approval of the MBA program director. All students are required to complete all components of the program within five years of matriculation. Extensions beyond five years will be considered on the basis of petition to the MBA director. Students who leave the program for more than one semester must request a leave of absence in writing from the MBA program. A leave of absence may be granted for one calendar year. Students who return to the program after a leave of one year or more must fill out an Application for Readmission form and submit it to the MBA office.

Academic Evaluation Evaluation of academic performance in the MBA program will be based on number grades using a 4.0-scale. For complete information, see Academic Programs and Policies. Withdrawal from Class For information regarding the last date on which students may withdraw from a class and receive a “W” on their records, refer to the academic calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Attendance Policies Student attendance at scheduled class meetings is a priority and required. However, MBA faculty understand that MBA students are working adults with significant responsibilities who, on occasion, face unforeseen situations that may interfere with attendance. Students should notify the faculty member teaching the course as soon as possible when the problem is immediate. When the student knows in advance of a class date where a potential conflict exists, they must discuss the proposed missed class with the faculty member prior to the date of the class. Students are responsible for the work covered during that class session and for making appropriate arrangements for obtaining handouts, lecture content, or other materials. Faculty members may assign appropriate independent work to insure that the student understands the material covered during the class session. If appropriate and acceptable coordination is carried out by the student, there need not be any grade reduction for a single missed class session. This may be dependent on assignments due on the date of the missed class; e.g., final 67 project presentations or team presentations. Point/grade reductions for unexcused absences are the prerogative of the faculty. Two missed class sessions, excused or unexcused, may be grounds for directing the student to withdraw from the course. More than two absences, excused or unexcused, require that a student withdraw from the class. Degree Requirements To be conferred the MBA degree, students must achieve the following:      Successful completion of all admission conditions Successful completion of MBA courses (2.5 or above) No more than two courses with a grade of 2.5 or below, and with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher at the completion of the program Successful completion and submission of the management consulting project (capstone) Students who successfully complete Augsburg’s MBA program will receive a Master of Business Administration degree.

Program Overview Summer Residencies The Augsburg Low-Residency MFA includes 10-day summer residencies on the Augsburg campus in Minneapolis, offering daily workshops, readings, and mini-courses that focus on literary craft as well as career skills in teaching, editing, publishing, book arts, marketing, translation, and adaptation. The full degree program includes three summer residencies, featuring visits by distinguished writers in each genre as well as editors, agents, publishers, and literary entrepreneurs. Fall and Spring Semesters The first two residencies are followed each year by fall and spring off-campus semesters. During those terms, students work with faculty mentors in virtual classrooms that make use of online and other technologies. Each semester, MFA candidates enroll in one Mentorship section and one section of Critical and Creative Reading. Although MFA learning objectives call for demonstrated expertise in at least one genre by graduation, twenty-first century writers compose their work in an environment in which genre has permeable boundaries and lines between genres are often erased. With this in mind, cross-genre work will be encouraged, with students working in a genre other than the declared specialty, usually during the second off-campus semester. Semester Mentorships The Mentorship is a one-on-one experience with a faculty mentor who guides the student’s production of work and study of craft. This one-on-one creative studio experience is focused on the MFA candidate’s own writing and growth as a writer. Critical and Creative Reading in an Online Classroom This is a reading-as-writers course that provides an opportunity to work with your professor and a community of peers, considering craft, criticism and aesthetics. Meetings are online in the electronic classroom. The format may include online discussion boards, Skype or video chats, and teleconferences with mentors and fellow learners. The online classroom offers an opportunity to continue conversations begun during the residency with members of the MFA community. Students may repeat mentorship courses (ENL 511, 513, 521, and 523) and critical and creative readings courses (ENL 512, 514, 522, and 524), subject to the permission of the program director. Genres and Concentrations Genres include Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, Poetry, Screenwriting and Playwriting. The program also includes concentrations in teaching, translation, and publishing. Concentrations require additional coursework. With the program director’s consent, students may enroll in concentration courses simultaneously with MFA studies. Candidates enrolled in the publishing concentration will be the staff of a new publishing house, Howling Bird Press, that will select and publish one book each year. The book prize is open to submissions nationally. Plan of Study Students may select a completion plan for the MFA: 69    The Traditional MFA in Creative Writing, in which the student chooses one genre as the designated field of study but is encouraged to work outside the designated field of study for one term. The Extended Study/Mixed Genre Option in which the student selects a primary genre and works in that genre for at least three of four mentored and reading terms. Students completing the Extended Study Option complete five mentored and reading terms, with at least four in the designated field. Students selecting the Mixed Genre option complete five mentored and reading terms, with two outside the designated field. The Career Concentration Option, in which the student also enrolls in electives in teaching, translation and/or publishing. This plan may be added to both the Traditional and Extended Study/Mixed Genre options. Accommodating Writers Who Work Full-Time and Those Who Live Outside of Minnesota Augsburg’s Traditional MFA in Creative Writing can be completed in eleven courses (three summer residencies and four off-campus electronic semesters of two courses each). A typical plan of study in the Traditional Low-Residency MFA will work like this: First Year Summer Residency I, including genre workshops, writing seminars, readings and lectures, ten days on the Minneapolis campus, with assignments before and after residency. Fall Semester I, electronic classroom including one Mentorship studio and one Creative and Critical Reading course. Spring Semester I, electronic classroom including one Mentorship studio and one Creative and Critical Reading course (generally “out-of-genre” term). Second Year Summer Residency II, including genre workshops, writing seminars, readings and lectures, ten days on the Minneapolis campus, with assignments before and after residency. Fall Semester II, electronic classroom including one Mentorship studio and one Creative and Critical Reading This is the craft-based academic paper term and students complete a craft paper at this point. Spring Semester II, electronic classroom including one Mentorship studio (thesis completion term) and one Creative and Critical Reading (lecture/presentation preparation term). Students complete the creative thesis in the mentorship and in the reading course they plan a craft talk to be delivered in the third residency. Third Year – Residency Only Summer Residency III, including genre workshop, writing seminars, readings and lectures. Final term for graduating MFA candidates. Graduates give a public lecture/presentation and a reading from thesis work. Ten days on the Minneapolis campus, with assignments before and after residency.

Admission to MFA Admission Requirements Qualified applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited college or university with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher for all undergraduate coursework. Students with a GPA of 2.5-3.0 may be admitted conditionally into the program based on the strength of their writing samples. Applications Must Include  Completed online application  $50 application/reading fee for each genre  Two letters of recommendation  A personal essay  A writing sample:  Fiction or Creative Non-Fiction, 20 pages, double-spaced  Poetry, 15-20 pages, single-spaced  Screenwriting or Playwriting, up to 30 pages in script format Admission as an International Student International applicants must submit the required application materials listed above. Refer to the additional requirements outlined in Admission of International Students in the Graduate Admissions section. Academic Policies Credit All Augsburg MFA courses carry four semester credits. To earn the MFA, candidates must complete 44 semester credits, write a critical/creative paper, deliver a public lecture/presentation, give a public reading/staging, and complete a book length manuscript of publishable quality (fiction, nonfiction and poetry), a screenplay/calling card script (screenwriting), or a full-length play of producible quality (playwriting). To include a concentration in Teaching or in Translation/Adaptation in the MFA, students must complete 12 courses or 48 credits. For the MFA with a concentration in Publishing, students must complete 13 courses or 52 credits. Transfer Augsburg’s low-residency MFA includes in-person and online elements that help us maintain a strong community and create a culture in which our writers thrive. This studio degree is the terminal degree in writing and because of the unique features of a terminal, low-residency, studio degree, the final decision on transfer credit will depend on review by the Augsburg College MFA Program. A maximum of eight semester credits from traditional residency MFA programs and from MA programs in creative writing or English literature may be accepted. The MFA Program Director will review and may offer up to four additional credits in transfer for equivalent residency or workshop experience completed in another program. The maximum transfer credits allowed is 12 credits. 71 Academic Evaluation Grading The MFA Program uses fine arts studio grading practices, formative in nature and designed to be an element of the teaching curriculum. A narrative transcript composed of comments on those elements that the particular student writer is working on during a particular term will be used to assess progress in the mentorship courses. These are formative and qualitative assessment elements and professors’ responses will vary as professor/artists and student/artists approach student work with the student’s individual artistic aims in mind. In addition to the fine arts formative and qualitative assessment, students will be assessed in light of their success in meeting learning objectives of the course while completing work assigned. MFA in Creative Writing Courses are graded on a Pass/No Credit basis, using the Augsburg graduate grading model scale as described below: P – Represents work at 3.0 or higher and meets acceptable standards. N – No credit, not counted in grade point average. Alignment of Course Outcomes MFA courses are aligned with the Program Hallmarks of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP), the national professional organization for writing programs and the writers who teach in those programs. Participation Students are expected to fully participate in Summer Residencies, attending workshop sessions and scheduled meetings with mentors as well as a majority of readings, lectures and other scheduled sessions. Participation in off-campus coursework is expected to occur during the designated time for each Mentorship studio critique session and “time away” for creative work. Students are also expected to take part in synchronous and asynchronous sessions with mentors and demonstrate “presence” in the Creative and Critical Reading courses through regularly scheduled exchanges with faculty and peers. Academic Honesty Augsburg’s high expectations for academic honesty will be applied to this class. Please refer to the Student Guide at inside.augsburg.edu/studentaffairs/studentguide/academic-honest-policies if you have any questions.

Students are well educated in current medical theory and practice, and graduates are encouraged to work in primary care settings. The program promotes dedication to excellence in performance, with the highest standards of ethics and integrity, and commitment to lifelong personal and professional development. Accreditation The Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) has granted Continued Accreditation to the Physician Assistant Program sponsored by Augsburg College. Continued accreditation is an accreditation status granted when a currently accredited program is in compliance with the ARC-PA Standards. Continued Accreditation remains in effect until the program closes or withdraws from the accreditation process or until accreditation is withdrawn for failure to comply with the Standards. The approximate date for the next comprehensive review of the program by ARC-PA will be September 2018. About PA As defined by the American Academy of Physician Assistants: “PAs are health professionals licensed or, in the case of those employed by the federal government, credentialed to practice medicine in association with designated collaborating physicians. PAs are qualified by graduation from an accredited PA educational program and/or certification by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants ... Within the physician-PA relationship, PAs provide patient-centered medical care services as a member of a healthcare team. PAs practice with defined levels of autonomy and exercise independent medical decision making within their scope of practice.” In the state of Minnesota, a PA is licensed with the Board of Medical Practice. In Minnesota, and most other states, the PA must be NCCPA (National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants) certified and hold a supervisory agreement with a licensed physician. Minnesota registered PAs have prescriptive privileges under delegatory supervision with their physician for prescriptive medications. Curriculum The Physician Assistant program at Augsburg is 31 months long with studies beginning each year in the summer semester (early June). The program accepts up to 30 students for each new class. Graduates will receive a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies and a PA certificate. The Augsburg PA program includes traditional college “breaks” such as winter holiday break, spring breaks, and summer breaks. Length of breaks varies depending upon the student’s year in the program; these breaks contribute to the overall 31 month length of the program. Studies begin in early June of each year. The first 18 months of study is didactic, or classroom work, including courses in human gross anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical medicine, pharmacotherapy, history and physical exam skills, research, and professional issues. The clinical phase is 13 months in length. The clinical phase of the program is designed to effectively train students for practice by providing them with rotation experiences in different specialties and different practice settings. To that end, each student will be required to complete rotations outside the metropolitan area. Each student is required to successfully complete clinical rotations in family medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, psychiatry, emergency medicine, internal medicine, surgery, and two elective rotations by choosing from various specialties. The clinical phase will culminate with a preceptorship in primary care, medical subspecialty or surgical subspecialty. This preceptorship is designed to solidify the student’s primary care skills, and potentially place them in a setting that might be interested in 77 recruiting a graduate PA. The majority of established clinical rotation sites are in Minnesota in both rural and urban locations. The clinical curriculum is taught by physicians, and supplemented by physician assistants and other healthcare providers. Each student is evaluated by the clinical instructor for the designated rotation. Students will return to Augsburg College five times during the clinical phase for evaluation and education.

The Augsburg PA Program participates in the Centralized Application Service for Physician Assistants (CASPA) which is sponsored by the Physician Assistant Education Association (PAEA). All applications to the PA Program for the entering class must be processed through CASPA, following all guidelines and regulations set forth by CASPA. Application forms with detailed instructions can be obtained online at portal.caspaonline.org. You will be considered an eligible applicant if you have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 at the time of application (as calculated by CASPA), if you have a minimum science GPA of 3.0 at the time of application (as calculated by CASPA), if you have completed or will complete your undergraduate degree prior to the start date of the program, and if you have completed or will complete your prerequisite courses within the timeline specified for your degree status. Additional Application Details:  The Augsburg PA Program requires three letters of recommendation submitted through the CASPA process. . We recommend that one letter be from an employer/colleague (a professional reference), one letter be from a professor or advisor (an academic reference), and one from a person of your choice. Be sure that your letter writers are able to tell the committee about you as well as his/her experiences with you and observations about you.  Your Supplemental Application must be received in the PA Program office postmarked on or before the deadline in order to be considered.  We use the CASPA “Complete Date” to determine if you have met the application deadline. The “Complete Date” on your application must be the deadline or prior in order to be considered meeting the deadline. CASPA assigns a “Complete Date’ when they have received your electronic application, transcripts from all schools attended, 2 of your 3 letters of reference, and payment. Until those criteria are met, your application will not be given a “Complete Date.” Augsburg’s PA Program Supplemental Application can be downloaded from our website at www.augsburg.edu/pa. It is important for the applicant to determine whether he or she is in fact eligible to apply to the PA Studies Program, as the supplemental application fee is non-refundable. You will be required to print and sign the supplemental application and mail it to the program with your supplemental application fee by the application deadline. Selection Process All complete files (CASPA and Supplemental Applications that meet requirements) will be reviewed by the admissions committee. The admissions committee procedures utilize a blinded review, so applicant demographic data is unknown (e.g., race, age, gender). Each file is reviewed by members of the committee. The selection committee looks for a balanced application by reviewing many criteria including key criteria of cumulative GPA, science GPA, and direct patient care experience, along with overall academic record, service to underserved (meaning disadvantaged, minority, or under-represented populations), knowledge of the profession, fit with the program goals and mission, and recommendation letters. Once the committee has completed the file review, a group of candidates is selected for a telephone interview. The telephone interviews are generally conducted between November and January. Those selected for a telephone interview are invited to a Candidate Information Session in the program to meet faculty, staff, current students, and to view the facilities. As telephone interviews are completed, seats in the incoming class are offered. The class of 30 students will be filled between the months of October and January. A list of alternates will be selected in January to fill seats that accepted candidates may not claim. All applicants are notified of their final status by mid-February. Accepted applicants must complete and pass a background check prior to matriculation and annually throughout the program. Failure of the background check could result in dismissal from the program. Academic Policies Please see the PA program website at www.augsburg.edu/pa for further details about policies outlined here. 80 Technical Standards The Augsburg College Department of Physician Assistant Studies is pledged to the admission and matriculation of qualified students and wishes to acknowledge awareness of laws which prohibit discrimination against anyone on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age or disability.

The social work profession offers you the rewarding prospect of joining with others to respond to problems and develop opportunities that benefit individuals, families, groups, and communities. The MSW degree prepares you for advanced professional practice in the field of social work. Augsburg’s MSW program prepares you for agency-based practice with individuals, families, groups, and communities, and with a dedication to system change that reduces oppression and discrimination. Graduates of our program share how they appreciated the opportunity to learn new ideas as well as learn more about themselves. These graduates valued our small class size, our cohort structure, and the opportunity to have a mentoring relationship with our faculty and staff. As a small program, we have high expectations for our students and at the same time offer the flexibility to help them meet their individual goals. Attending Augsburg College will transform and develop your professional life in unexpected ways. We have two concentrations. The first, Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP), will prepare you for direct clinical practice with individuals, families, and groups. The second, Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP), will prepare you for macro social work practice with organizations, communities, and other large systems. We are delighted in your interest in our MSW program and invite you to join us in a lifelong adventure in learning. The personal and professional growth necessary to become an advanced professional social worker is challenging. We encourage you to take the challenge with us. Lois A. Bosch, PhD, LISW Director, Master of Social Work MSW Mission Our mission is to develop social work professionals for advanced practice that promotes social justice and empowerment towards the well-being of people in a diverse and global society. Program Overview The MSW program prepares social work students for agency-based practice in public and nonprofit settings. By working in the agency setting, social workers collaborate with others to provide holistic, affordable, and accessible services to individuals, families, groups, and communities. Our challenging MSW curriculum integrates social work theory with micro and macro practice methods. Students develop skills, knowledge, and values necessary for ethical social work practice. As you progress through our MSW program, you will:         Learn how individuals live in and are affected by their social environment Understand how social policies and programs affect individuals, families, communities, and society Apply theories and methods of practice through the field practicum experience Use a range of client-centered approaches to practice with client groups of all types and sizes Engage in practice informed by sound, scholarly research Evaluate the effectiveness of your social work practice or social work programs Advocate for the eradication of oppression and discrimination Be a responsible and contributing citizen in the local and global community Accreditation Augsburg’s MSW program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). Your MSW degree must be accredited by CSWE if you seek licensure with the social work board of your state. For more information on CSWE accreditation go to www.cswe.org. Augsburg College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the About Augsburg College section of this catalog. 83 Plan of Study Students entering Augsburg’s MSW program with a bachelor’s degree from a discipline other than social work are classified as foundation students. Full-time foundation students are enrolled in a two year program. Part-time foundation students are enrolled in a four year program. Students entering Augsburg’s MSW program with a bachelor’s degree in social work from a CSWE (Council on Social Work Education) accredited institution are classified as advanced standing students. Advanced standing students are enrolled in a 16 month program. The part-time option is not generally available for advanced standing students. All students must complete the MSW degree in no more than 4 years following matriculation. Academic Calendar The MSW program meets on a semester calendar, with classes offered September through June. Classes typically meet every other weekend with an occasional back-to-back weekend. Field practicum hours are generally completed during weekday hours. If a student lives outside the Twin Cities metro, the field practicum hours can be completed at a placement near the student’s place of residence. Hours per week vary depending on the agency placement and the student’s availability. For academic calendars and schedules, go to www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Class Periods Classes meet in 4 hour blocks on Friday evenings, 6 to 10:00 pm; Saturday mornings, 8:00 am to 12 pm; and Saturday afternoons, 1:00 to 5:00 pm. Each class meets on campus for 8 sessions in a given semester and for 4 sessions on campus in a summer term (May-June), with the expectation that students engage in hybrid learning activities between on-campus class weekends. Time Commitment Although classes meet on weekends, students spend time on their studies during non-class weekends and weekdays in accordance with our hybrid learning format. Hybrid learning is a combination of face-to-face class sessions and online/experiential learning. On a class weekend, the typical student will spend 12 hours in class within a 23-hour period. For every hour spent in class, a student may expect to spend 3 to 4 hours outside of class working on online activities, assignments, readings, or group projects. A student may also spend 15 to 20 hours per week in the field practicum during the fall and spring semesters (a span of 8 to 9 months for each practicum). In the final year of study, students complete a summative evaluation or a portfolio, which requires significant independent research, analysis, and writing. Some MSW students work full-time while enrolled in the program. However, full-time employment is not recommended. Most students arrange to reduce their work hours or request time away during their graduate studies. Each student’s situation is unique and must be decided individually. All students must develop strategies for balancing family, work, and academic responsibilities. Credit and Contact Hours MSW courses range from 2 to 4 semester credits. Depending on the number of credits, students will spend 16 to 32 hours in the classroom per course. Students will also be expected to engage in activities and independent study outside of class. Cohort Structure MSW students are admitted to a particular cohort. Cohorts are distinguished by level of admission (foundation or advanced standing), rate of attendance (full-time or part-time), and chosen concentration (Multicultural Clinical Practice [MCCP] or Multicultural Macro Practice [MCMP]). Any changes to a student’s cohort selection must be approved by the MSW director. 84 Field Practicum Foundation students complete 920 hours in two field practica; advanced standing students complete 500 hours in one field practicum. Successful completion of the first field practicum, required for foundation students, is a minimum of 420 hours. Successful completion of the second field practicum, required for both foundation and advanced standing students, is a minimum of 500 hours. Each practicum experience is spread over two semesters (fall and spring). These hours are completed concurrent with enrollment in the fieldwork seminars as well as other MSW courses. MSW Curriculum Components Foundation Curriculum In the foundation courses and field practicum, you are introduced to social work as a profession. You will learn both historical and contemporary theories and practice methods relating to both the individual and the environment. During the foundation year, you will study human behavior and the social environment, history of social welfare policy, research methods, assessment frameworks, family and community diversity, and social work values and ethics. In the foundation curriculum you will apply this generalist knowledge of theories and practice methods in the generalist field practicum. The field practicum is completed concurrently with your enrollment in two field seminar courses. The full foundation curriculum is required of all students, with the exception of those admitted with advanced standing. Before beginning the concentration curriculum, all foundation coursework and field hours must be successfully completed. Concentration Curriculum After completing the foundation requirements, you will enroll in the concentration curriculum that you selected at the time of application. You will also complete an advanced field practicum. Augsburg offers two concentrations: Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) or Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP). In either concentration, you will deepen your knowledge of the primary issues affecting families and communities, develop a range of client-centered approaches to practice, gain a broader understanding of human diversity, develop competencies in practice-based research, and learn practice or program evaluation techniques. In the concentration curriculum, you will apply this advanced knowledge of theories and practice methods in the concentration field practicum. The field practicum is relevant to your chosen concentration and is completed concurrently with your enrollment in two field seminar courses. As a capstone to your MSW program, you will complete a portfolio project or a summative evaluation project. Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) Concentration Multiculturalism is a process requiring practitioners to have a deep awareness of their social and cultural identities, as well as the ability to use multiple lenses when working with diverse populations. With person-in-environment as an organizing perspective, multicultural clinical social work practice addresses the biopsychosocial and spiritual functioning of individuals, families, and groups. To this end, graduates of the MCCP concentration develop competence in using relationship-based, culturally informed, and theoretically grounded interventions with persons facing challenges, disabilities, or impairments, including emotional, behavioral, and mental disorders. Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) Concentration In the tradition of Jane Addams, the heart of macro social work practice is directing energy toward changing agency, government, and institutional policies that obscure or oppress people. While many social workers view their role as focused on individuals and families, social workers must actively seek equality and justice for clients within agencies, institutions and society. Social work leaders must advocate for social change where necessary to ensure social justice. Similar to the MCCP concentration, it is important to address macro level social work practice within the context of cultural understanding and awareness. The Multicultural Macro Practice concentration (formerly Program Development, Policy and Administration) responds to this demand for leadership. The macro social work practitioner recognizes the strengths and abilities of individuals and communities to implement change. The social work macro practitioner works with these individuals to do so. In the MCMP concentration, you will 85 learn the knowledge and skills necessary to work with others to achieve needed social change. You will also learn to develop, lead, guide, and administer programs that serve diverse people in a variety of settings. Portfolio or Summative Evaluation Project  Portfolio Project (MCCP students)  The goal of the MCCP Portfolio is to enhance the integration of theory and practice, as well as to offer more vivid portrayals of a student’s academic and professional experience than traditional assessments. By definition, portfolios are formative (i.e. designed for guided reflection and self-evaluation). However they are also summative documents in that they illustrate students’ competencies. All MCCP students are required to create a portfolio during their final year of study. Items in a portfolio might include videos, process recordings, reflective statements, writing samples, case analyses, term papers, electronic submissions, policy activities, feedback from service users, self-evaluations of personal progress, and links to references.  Summative Evaluation Project (MCMP students)  All social workers must evaluate their practice to determine whether they are helping or harming clients. While in the concentration practicum, MCMP students will design and implement a program evaluation for their summative project. This project requires integration and application of knowledge and skills from both the foundation and concentration curricula. Students develop their research while in their field internship and are advised by their field seminar professor. Students conduct and present this evaluation/research project during their final year of study. Master’s Thesis Students in both concentrations have the option of completing a thesis in addition to either the portfolio or summative evaluation project. Credit for the SWK 699 general elective is given for this option. Students work with a thesis advisor to develop more in-depth research skills contributing to social work knowledge. To pursue the thesis option, students should notify the MSW program director by the end of spring semester of the foundation year. Degree requirements To be conferred the MSW degree, students must achieve the following:       Successful completion of any admission conditions (see Admission to MSW) Successful completion of all required MSW courses No more than two courses with a grade of 2.5 and with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher Successful completion of 920 hours of approved field practica for foundation students or 500 hours of approved field practicum for advanced standing students Successful completion and submission of the portfolio project (MCCP) or the summative evaluation project (MCMP) Successful completion of all degree requirements within 4 years of matriculation. State of Minnesota Social Work Licensure Six months prior to completion of the MSW degree at Augsburg, students may apply to take the Licensed Graduate Social Worker (LGSW) license exam from the Minnesota Board of Social Work. To achieve LGSW licensure students must pass the state board exam and complete the MSW degree. To seek the Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) license or the Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) license, one must work two years full-time (or 4,000 hours part-time) as an LGSW under the supervision of an LISW or LICSW.

SWK 699 General Elective Students in both concentrations complete at least one general elective course. The following are examples of elective offerings that rotate each year:      Trauma, Theory, and Treatment in Multicultural Clinical Practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Social Work Clinical Practice Spirituality and Social Work Practice Empowerment of Services Users in Mental Health Children’s Mental Health We also offer short-term electives abroad, typically two weeks in length: Exploring Human Services in International Settings (examples include Mexico, Slovenia, Namibia, South Africa, India, Bolivia, China, and Hong Kong) Fieldwork and Field Placement Social work education goes beyond the classroom. Through the field experience, we expect that students will demonstrate skills to bridge theory and practice. Collaborative efforts between the student, the field agency, and the MSW program are essential to successful learning. The foundation of the practice includes:        Ethical, competent professional practice Problem solving within a systems framework and strengths perspective Use of advanced practice theories in Multicultural Clinical Practice or Multicultural Macro Practice settings Evaluation of the effectiveness of program or practice activities An understanding of and respect for diverse peoples and cultures Responsibility and service to the local and global community in the interest of social justice A commitment to oppose oppression of all forms Field Education Format Under the instruction and supervision of professionally-trained, MSW-level, and program-approved field instructors, foundation students will spend a minimum of 920 hours in two field practica. Advanced standing students will spend a minimum of 500 hours in one field practicum. Both the foundation and concentration practica are spread over 2 semesters (fall and spring). Both practica are concurrent with enrollment in integrative field seminars, as well as other MSW coursework. The fieldwork education of the MSW program is divided into two components:     Foundation Practicum The foundation practicum, or generalist practicum, puts emphasis on developing competence as a professional generalist social worker. It requires a minimum of 420 hours and is completed by students admitted at the foundation level. Students spend an average of 15 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters in this practicum. Concentration Practicum The concentration practicum places emphasis on advanced practice skills and leadership qualities related to the chosen concentration. It requires a minimum of 500 hours and is completed by all students, including those admitted with advanced standing. Students spend an average of 18 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters in this practicum. 88 Process for Field Practicum Selection Field practica begin in the fall, but the selection process begins the previous spring in collaboration with two other Twin Cities MSW programs. Students attend a field orientation before beginning their search. Augsburg College and the University of Minnesota - School of Social Work jointly host a field fair where students meet a large number of agencies and potential field instructors. Practicum selection involves interviews at approved sites, arranged by the student, and a matching process conducted collaboratively by the field coordinators at the three MSW programs in the Twin Cities. In some instances, students can petition to complete a field practicum at an agency not on the approved list or at their place of employment. Students who wish to do so work with the MSW field coordinator for such proposals. Field Practicum Settings The Augsburg field faculty are committed to the success of each student in a stimulating and challenging field practicum. Our current list of approved clinical and community practice field sites includes agencies in the following areas of practice:                          Family and children Child welfare Mental health Crisis intervention Senior resources Family social policy Health and human services Corrections and probation Public and independent schools Youth services Hospitals Developmental disabilities American Indian family services Chronic and persistent mental illness Chemical dependency Court services Immigrant, migrant, refugee services Victims of torture Faith-based social services Neighborhood services Legislation advocacy Housing services Employment services Community organizing Research centers Dual Degree in Social Work and Theology (MSW/MA, Theology) Augsburg College’s Department of Social Work (Minneapolis) and Luther Seminary (St. Paul) offer a dual degree: Master of Social Work and Master of Arts in Theology (MSW/MA). The dual degree has been approved by both institutions and by the Council on Social Work Education. If you are interested in combining a Master of Social Work with a Master of Arts in Theology, we recommend you begin the Luther Seminary program first and identify yourself as seeking the dual degree. For application information to Luther Seminary, visit their website at www.luthersem.edu/admissions. Purpose The dual degree focuses on meeting the educational interests of people planning to serve the spiritual and social needs of families, individuals, and communities in both rural and urban settings. Both institutions have a commitment to social 89 and economic justice and to teamwork in the pastoral and human service settings. This joint program is ecumenical in its admission policies as well as its academic outlook. Objectives Three primary objectives have been established:    To educate practitioners in social work and ministry who can combine the values, skills, and knowledge of both theology and social work to serve people in more holistic ways To generate the partnerships necessary to serve the complex needs of communities and people experiencing transition in their lives, including the change of government support for those in poverty To prepare practitioners to seek the strengths of interdisciplinary teams in the human service and pastoral settings. Enrollment We recommend that dual degree students enroll in Luther Seminary courses first. Upon completion of this first year of courses, students then enroll in Augsburg courses for a second and third year (full-time). In the dual degree, Luther Seminary offers nine courses which can be completed in one year if pursued full-time. The remaining Luther Seminary course requirements are waived and replaced by the Augsburg MSW curriculum. At Augsburg, dual degree students complete the entire MSW curriculum with the exception of the SWK 699 general elective. Course Format and Field Practicum Luther Seminary courses are offered on a weekday schedule and Augsburg College courses are offered on a weekend schedule. The field practicum is incorporated into the Augsburg curriculum and will be in a setting reflective of the dual degree program, such as congregational multidisciplinary teams, nursing home chaplaincy, and social work teams. The Luther Seminary program and the Augsburg College program are both full-time; it is not feasible for students to do both programs simultaneously. Summary of MSW/MA Theology Dual Degree Requirements:     9 courses at Luther Seminary All required MSW courses at Augsburg College MSW field practica credit hours (see guidelines under field practicum) MSW portfolio or summative evaluation project Admission to the Dual Degree It is the responsibility of dual degree students to be aware of application deadlines for both institutions. Applicants must apply to each program separately. Please note: admission to one institution does not guarantee admission to the other. To request the catalog and application materials, you must contact each program separately. Financial aid is also a separate process. Dual Degree in Social Work and Business Administration (MSW/MBA) Augsburg College offers a dual MSW/MBA degree in social work and business administration. Students enrolled in the dual degree program learn to create better managed and financially sound service organizations to serve diverse communities, both locally and globally. Purpose Many social service agencies today require that agency managers combine financial and business expertise with social work practice and policy formation. The MSW/MBA dual degree prepares graduates to function in a workplace that demands the delivery of quality services with increasingly limited resources. 90 Concentration The MSW/MBA dual degree includes an accelerated third year of study for MSW students who elect the Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) concentration. In this concentration, students learn to effect positive change in social service systems through their work with communities, organizations, and social policy makers. Prior Augsburg MSW graduates who have completed the necessary Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) coursework are eligible to return to complete the MBA portion of the dual degree. Schedule Years 1 and 2 (September through June) MSW classes meet on alternating weekends—Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, and Saturday afternoons—and students engage in hybrid learning activities between class weekends. Year 3 (12–16 months) MBA classes meet one night per week. The MBA program includes a summer term. See the MBA section for required courses for the dual degree. Curriculum  Foundation or advanced standing coursework  Either 920 hours (foundation) or 500 hours (advanced standing) MSW field practicum experience  The MSW summative evaluation project may be accepted by the MBA program as partial fulfillment of the MBA project.  Complete a minimum of eight MBA courses for students who completed the MSW degree 2002 and beyond; complete a minimum of nine MBA courses for students who completed the MSW degree prior to 2002  For more information regarding the MBA coursework required for the MSW/MBA dual degree, see the MBA section. MBA Admission MSW/MBA dual degree applicants may apply to both programs at the same time or admitted MSW students may wait to apply to the MBA program until their concentration year. The GMAT is waived for MSW/MBA dual degree applicants. MBA application materials include: completed application, two short essays, an updated resume, two letters of recommendation, and a personal interview with the MBA program director. Admission to one program does not guarantee admission to the other. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.

Advanced standing applicants must offer an equivalent BSW course for each with a grade of B (3.0) or higher in order to receive a waiver. Academic Policies Academic Achievement Students must maintain at least a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the MSW program. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If the cumulative grade point average again falls below 3.0, the student may be dismissed from the program.

Leave of Absence Students who interrupt their program enrollment must request a leave of absence through the MSW program in order to maintain their admitted status. The request must be made in writing or via the student’s Augsburg email account. A leave of absence typically requires a full year away from the program in order to return to classes in sequence. Prerequisite Courses All foundation courses are prerequisite to the concentration courses. Students may not enroll in the concentration courses until successfully completing all foundation courses. In addition there are individual courses that are prerequisite to other individual courses in the MSW curriculum. These are listed in the MSW Handbook. Program Costs In addition to tuition fees, MSW students can expect to a pay a facilities fee and a field program fee. Students can also expect to purchase textbooks and student liability insurance when in a field placement. There may also be additional fees associated with short-term electives abroad. Graduate Scholarship Search Tips As you may know, graduate students do not have access to many of the financial aid opportunities open to undergraduates. Because of this, we strongly encourage you to spend time doing your own independent research into graduate funding available locally, nationally, and internationally.

Augsburg University’s graduate-level programs in business administration, creative writing, education, leadership, nursing, physician assistant studies, and social work are distinguished by the opportunities they provide students to expand decision-making and strategic skills. Augsburg University is characterized by a strong mission: Augsburg University 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. For our graduate programs, this mission helps to shape an innovative educational experience that features an expansive perspective on social responsibility, economic realities, business initiative, and environmental sustainability. At Augsburg University, we believe that our distinctive educational purpose is to help you find your calling, at work and in the world. Augsburg graduate programs are designed to offer you quality educational experiences, personal attention, and opportunities to expand your personal and professional talents and skills. We are confident that our graduates are prepared for leadership in our ever-changing global society, the hallmark of an Augsburg degree. Sincerely, Paul C. Pribbenow, PhD President 2 Welcome from the Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs Welcome to graduate study at Augsburg University! Augsburg has a long history of preparing our graduates for leadership in their communities and places of work. Across our graduate programs, students bring perspectives informed by prior study and experience; acquire specialized knowledge in a discipline or field; engage in collaborative learning; develop advanced capacities; encounter diverse perspectives and ideas; test theory through real-world experiences; and equip themselves for the next stage in their vocational journeys. When you join the Augsburg community, you become part of the Augsburg story—a story of academic achievement, preparation for professional practice, experiential learning deepened by reflection, demonstrated commitment to equity and inclusion, and preparation for lifelong learning. We are an institution committed to place, and our locations— whether in the Twin Cities, Rochester, or beyond—offer opportunities to apply what you learn in the classroom to the neighborhood, the local community, and in various urban and rural locations. Inspired by the faith of our Lutheran founders to be inclusive to the early immigrants who came to Augsburg’s doors, we are a community of diverse cultures and faiths. Indeed, the diversity of our community helps ensure that our graduates are uniquely prepared to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. Our commitment to interdisciplinary thinking is embodied in our newest academic building on the Minneapolis campus--the Hagfors Center for Science, Business, and Religion. We ground learning in the best of the liberal arts tradition, ensuring that our students are prepared not only for their first job but for mid- and late-career success. While connected through these common commitments, each graduate program has its own distinctive identity and curriculum. Your program offers a disciplinary home from which you will join a community of faculty, staff, and fellow students who will collectively extend your network of connections with prospective employers and expand your career opportunities in the future. We’re delighted that you’ll be joining us. Sincerely, Karen Kaivola Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs 3 About Augsburg University At Augsburg University, we believe that graduate education should prepare gifted people for positions of leadership in their communities and places of work. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to apply critical thinking, problem solving, and advanced communication skills in a collaborative approach within that discipline, thereby engaging others with diverse perspectives in the work of advancing civic and global initiatives critical for a sustainable future. The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg mission, informed by the liberal and professional arts and sciences, to serve our neighbors in the heart of the city and out into the world with faith-based, ethical values. We welcome students from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Also, our programs look to the world through international courses and cultural exchanges. Mission Statement Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the university motto, “Education for Service,” and mission: Augsburg University 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. Augsburg Today 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. A Rochester, Minnesota, campus was added in 2002. A short history of Augsburg University can be found at augsburg.edu/about/history. Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of its founders, who believed: ● ● ● Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically and broadly about the world and the work we do in it. An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and centers of faith. The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment. The vision of the university’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. Degrees Offered Augsburg offers the following graduate degrees: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Master of Arts in Education Master of Arts in Teaching Master of Arts in Leadership Master of Arts in Nursing Master of Business Administration Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing Master of Music Therapy Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies Master of Social Work Doctor of Nursing Practice (with tracks in Transcultural Nursing and Family Nurse Practitioner) Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology 4 Augsburg offers the following dual degrees: ● ● ● Bachelor of Arts in Accounting and Master of Arts in Leadership Master of Arts in Leadership and Master of Business Administration Master of Social Work and Master of Business Administration A Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s graduate programs 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 students to make use of all university facilities – whether a student in Minneapolis, Rochester, or one of Augsburg’s international locations – and to participate in university activities such as music and dramatic presentations and lecture/speaker events. Graduate Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg University is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching and service to be the focus of their activity at the university. Faculty 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. Augsburg’s small class sizes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisors and participate regularly in campus activities. 5 Locations Minneapolis Campus Augsburg University is located in the heart of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. The campus is bordered by Riverside Avenue and Interstate 94, near the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities West Bank campus and the University of Minnesota Medical Center. Downtown Minneapolis is just minutes away, providing access to internships and careers with some of the country’s leading companies, as well as entertainment, arts, sports venues, shopping, dining, and transportation. The campus is blocks from the METRO Green and Blue light rail lines, which provide easy access to destinations in Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as the Minneapolis International Airport. Rochester Learning Site Augsburg’s learning site in Rochester, Minnesota, was established in 1998 as a natural extension of the University’s mission and its expertise in teaching working adults. Graduate degrees and undergraduate majors including business, education, and nursing, are offered in Rochester. Graduate programs in Rochester include the Master of Business Administration, Master of Arts in Nursing, Master of Arts in Education, and Doctor of Nursing Practice. The Rochester classrooms and offices are located at Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA), just a few blocks south of downtown Rochester. Home to approximately 110,000 residents, Rochester is a city that enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior technological resources. Bethel Lutheran Church is located at 810 3rd Ave SE, Rochester MN 55904. Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a semester schedule with classes taking place on alternating weekday evenings and on occasional Saturdays, making them accessible to working adults.

See the program sections for these additional requirements. Please refer to each individual program’s catalog section (below) for additional instructions and for detailed information on applying to graduate programs, refer to the Graduate Admissions website at www.augsburg.edu/grad. Augsburg is committed to ensuring the admissions process is accessible for all prospective students. Augsburg admissions counselors are here to assist students in completing the application process. Augsburg University asks all applicants for admission and readmission whether they have been convicted of a felony. A felony conviction does not automatically preclude an applicant from being accepted to Augsburg University. The full process and policy can be found in the Augsburg Student Guide. Readmission Graduate students who have not registered for courses at Augsburg University for two or more semesters must apply for readmission 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 Registrar’s Office. The last day to receive approval for readmission to the University and register for classes is the Friday prior to the start of the term.

Students who have earned a bachelor’s degree outside of the United States may need to submit a copy of a foreign credential evaluation from World Education Services (WES), a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluators (NACES), or an equivalent service that performs a foreign credit evaluation in order to confirm it is equivalent to a United States bachelor’s degree or greater. To apply for admission as a non-degree seeking student, submit the completed application and unofficial transcript from the bachelor’s degree granting institution to the Admissions Office. Some programs may have additional application requirements. Non-degree status is conferred for only one term of enrollment. Additional terms require re-application through Admissions as a non-degree seeking student.

Non-degree seeking students who wish to pursue a degree must reapply for admission by submitting the completed application and official transcript from the bachelor’s degree granting institution, and any additional materials required by the program. 13 International Students Augsburg University graduate programs encourage qualified applicants from other countries to apply. An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a “full course of study” to achieve a specific educational or professional objective at an academic institution in the United States that has been designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of study to such students, and has been enrolled in SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System). A student acquires F-1 status using form I-20, issued by a DHS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in one of two ways: ● ● If the student is abroad, by entering the United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a US consulate. If the student is already in the United States and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the I-20 to USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an application for change of nonimmigrant status. A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer from another DHS-approved school to Augsburg by following the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations. In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students must also comply with the following: English Proficiency Requirements for International Graduate Applicants To meet Augsburg University admission requirements, you must provide evidence of a sufficient command of both written and spoken English to study college courses conducted entirely in English. Below is a list of the tests and programs Augsburg University accepts as evidence for English proficiency. ● ● ● ● Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) o Score report of 80 on the Internet-based TOEFL (iBT) with a sub-score of 20 on the written and 20 on the speaking sections.

All financial documents such as bank statements must be dated within three months prior to the date of application. Health Insurance All F-1 international students and their dependents (if applicable) are required to have adequate health insurance coverage for the duration of their program. International students will be enrolled in the Augsburg international student plan unless they fill out a waiver verifying proof of coverage through an alternative provider for the same period. 15 Financing Your Education Costs The Board of Regents approves the costs for the academic year. The board reviews costs annually and makes changes as required. Augsburg reserves the right to adjust charges should economic conditions necessitate.

Payments Semester Charges Prior to the start of each semester, a statement of estimated charges showing charges and financial aid credits designated by the Student Financial Services Office is sent to the student via e-mail. All statements are available online through AugNet’s Records and Registration site. Payments can be made online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/make-a-payment. Augsburg may charge late fees and interest on delinquent accounts. Review the full policy regarding past due balances online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/disclosure Payment Options Augsburg University offers payment plan options for all students. Information about payment plans is available online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts. Payment Policy Students at Augsburg University are obligated to pay Term Fees and additional charges when they register for each academic term. “Term Fees” include tuition, room and board charges and other fees initiated during your time as a student. Students are responsible to pay for all of these charges regardless of whether financial aid is received or employers or other third parties pay as agreed. “Term Fees” are subject to refund only to the extent allowed under the Augsburg University Tuition Refund Policy. 16 Augsburg accepts the following forms of payment: Cash Students and guest payers may make cash payments in-person at the Enrollment Center. Cash should never be mailed. Students will receive a receipt of their cash payment. Check Students and guest payers may pay their term fees via check either in-person at the Enrollment Center, through mail, or online using e-check/ACH. A $30 NSF Fee will be added for any payment returned by the bank for Non-Sufficient Funds. A receipt will automatically be sent electronically for any online payments. Students who pay in-person or through mail may request a receipt of the check payment. Credit Card/Debit Card Students and guest payers may make student account payments online with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express credit card. As of June 10th, 2016, Augsburg will no longer accept credit card or debit card payments in-person, over the phone, or through the mail. Credit cards will only be accepted online via Cashnet, a vendor contracted by Augsburg. Because Cashnet charges Augsburg for their services, a credit card service fee of 2.75 percent will be associated with any credit card payment made to the University. This is to offset the approximately $250,000 in costs that Augsburg accrues annually for providing credit card payment options to our students. Augsburg will not receive any part of the service fee and will not be profiting from it. Financial Aid All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must reapply each year. In addition to reapplying for aid, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the attainment of their degree or certificate as stipulated in the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) section of this catalog. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of grants and loans. The University cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational expenses, retirement needs, and special considerations. Types of Aid A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a specific scholarship or grant (except as noted). Institutional Grants/Discounts Augsburg offers grants/discounts for a variety of different students. Specific information about the different grants and scholarships, along with eligibility requirements, can be found online at augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/financialaid/graduate-financial-aid/. Loan Assistance Graduate students must be enrolled at least half-time in order to receive federal loans. Three semester credits per term is considered half-time. Six semester credits per term is considered full-time. ● ● Federal Unsubsidized Direct Student 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). 17 ● ● Federal Graduate Loan Program (PLUS) Graduate PLUS is a loan program to help graduate students meet college costs. Students may borrow up to the cost of attendance (minus all other student financial aid). Further information about loan programs can be found online at augsburg.edu/studentfinancial. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Federal regulations require that all higher education institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether students [1] receiving financial aid [2] are making satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of a degree. The purpose of this policy is to make sure that students who receive financial aid are using this money wisely. It is meant to curtail the use of financial aid by students who fail to successfully complete their course work. Failure to meet the following standards makes a student ineligible for all institutional, federal, and state financial aid. Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress ● ● ● Minimum GPA Requirements - Graduate Students must maintain a minimum 3.00 cumulative GPA based on the entire academic record. Minimum Credits Completed - Graduate Students must earn a cumulative 66.67% of the credits attempted based on the entire academic record. A completed credit has a grade of A – D- or P. Credits earned and completed will include accepted cumulative transfer credits as defined by the Registrar’s Office. Unsatisfactory grades “W (withdrawn),” “I (Incomplete),” “F/FN (Zero),” and “N (Not Passing)” are counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. Repeated and remedial courses are not counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. Maximum Time Frame - To demonstrate academic progress, graduate students must complete their degree objective within 150% of the length of the program (varies per program). Monitoring and Evaluating Progress In order to ensure SAP standards are being met, the Student Financial Services Office will evaluate students’ academic achievement at the end of each term. After the student’s record is evaluated and the Student Financial Services Office determines the student’s GPA or completion rate to be unsatisfactory, the student will be placed on Financial Aid Warning or Financial Aid Suspension. Students will be notified through their Augsburg email if they fail to meet SAP standards. Financial Aid Warning A student who fails to meet SAP standards will be placed on Financial Aid Warning for the following term of enrollment. Students placed on Financial Aid Warning will still be eligible to receive financial aid. Financial Aid Warning will last for one term. If at the end of the term, the student meets SAP standards the Financial Aid Warning will conclude. Students currently on Financial Aid Warning who do not meet SAP standards at the end of the term will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. Financial Aid Suspension A student who fails to meet either the minimum GPA requirement and/or minimum credits attempted while on Financial Aid Warning will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. A student on Financial Aid Suspension is ineligible to receive any form of financial aid. A student on Financial Aid Suspension may submit an appeal to reinstate their financial aid. Financial Aid Suspension will conclude when the student meets SAP standards, or successfully appeals. Financial Aid will be suspended when a student placed on Financial Aid Suspension does not meet SAP standards. Because grades may not be available before the beginning of the next scheduled term, it is possible that financial aid may be disbursed to a student before the review can be conducted. In the event that a student is found to be ineligible for the financial aid that has been disbursed due to a failure to meet one of the Standards, the aid that was disbursed will be canceled, and returned to the appropriate program(s). 18 Right to Appeal Students who have had their financial aid suspended may submit the SAP Appeal Form to the Student Financial Services Office. The SAP Appeal Form must be completely filled out, along with any additional documents required by the SAP Committee. The appeal should state reasons why the student failed to meet SAP standards, and what changed for the student that will allow the student to demonstrate progress towards meeting SAP standards. The appeal will be decided by the SAP Committee. All decisions made by the Committee are final. If a student’s appeal is approved, they will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. If a student’s appeal is denied, they will remain on Financial Aid Suspension and will remain ineligible for financial aid. Financial Aid Probation A student who has been placed on Financial Aid Suspension and successfully appeals SAP will be place on Financial Aid Probation. A student on Financial Aid Probation will be eligible to receive financial aid. Financial Aid Probation will last for one term. If at the end of the term, the student meets SAP standards, the Financial Aid Probation will conclude. Students currently on Financial Aid Probation who do not meet the standards at the end of the term are placed on Financial Aid Suspension and are no longer eligible for financial aid. [1] Include all degree seeking students in both the Undergraduate Day and Augsburg for Adults, and all Graduate programs. [2] Financial Aid is defined as: Augsburg Institutional Aid, Federal Title IV funding, and Minnesota State Financial Aid programs. Student Account Financial Disclosure Students at Augsburg University are obligated to pay Term Fees and additional charges when they register for each academic term. “Term Fees” include tuition, room and board charges and other fees initiated during your time as a student. Students are responsible to pay for all of these charges regardless of whether financial aid is received or employers or other third parties pay as agreed. “Term Fees” are subject to refund only to the extent allowed under the Augsburg University Tuition Refund Policy. Statements and account history are available online through AugNet Records and Registration. Augsburg University may require someone to co-sign on the students’ obligations in special cases, such as when a student has a history of late or missed payments. When a co-signer’s signature is required, both students and co-signers are responsible for payment of all costs incurred (including collection costs and fees of any collection agency and/or attorney, if applicable) and all other conditions outlined on the Student Account Financial Disclosure. Results of Balances Not Paid in Full Augsburg may charge late fees and interest on delinquent accounts. Missed or late payments will be subject to a late payment charge and/or a finance charge on the overdue balance from the date the balance was due until payment in full is received. If your account is not paid in full on the first day of the term, finance charges at the rate of 8% per year (.67% per month) will be added onto your student account balance. For example, this means that for every $1,000 owed you will receive $6.70 a month in finance charges. A $30 NSF Fee will be added for any payment returned by the bank for Non-Sufficient Funds. Past Due Accounts If the student does not set up a formal payment plan with Augsburg’s Student Financial Services department, Augsburg reserves the right to demand payment of the entire balance owed by that student and to take steps to collect it. Augsburg may cancel the student’s registration, prevent the student from registering for future terms, withhold transcripts or diplomas, remove the student from on-campus housing, turn the student’s account over to a collection agency or take legal action to collect any past due balance. Each student authorizes Augsburg to release financial information about her or his account and other pertinent information such as address and phone number to third parties who are dealing with the collection of the account balance. By providing us with a telephone number for a 19 cellular phone or other wireless device, you are expressly consenting to receive communications – including but not limited to prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an automatic telephone dialing system – from us and our affiliates and agents at that number. This express consent applies to each such telephone number that you provide to us now or in the future and permits such calls regardless of their purpose. Calls and messages may incur access fees from your cellular provider. Each student also agrees to reimburse Augsburg University, or its agents, the fees of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 40% of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, we incur in such collection efforts. Please note that, due to the Bankruptcy Reform Act, educational benefits are generally exempt from discharge under bankruptcy. The terms of this agreement remain in effect until all Term Fees and other charges are paid in full. Financial Policy 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 University will not release student academic transcripts until all student account charges are paid in full or, in the case of student loan funds administered by the University (Federal Perkins Student Loan), are current according to established repayment schedules and the loan entrance and exit interviews have been completed. Tuition Refund Students are eligible for a 100% tuition refund for any courses they drop without notation through the date labeled “Last day to drop without a ‘W’ grade & 100% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. After this date, students are no longer eligible for any refund of tuition unless they withdraw from all of their courses. This policy is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. Students withdrawing from all of a term’s courses may receive a 50% tuition refund when they withdraw by the date labeled “Last day to withdraw with 50% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. Students are responsible for cancelling courses through the Registrar’s Office (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. Medical Refund If a student is forced to withdraw from one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, a request for a medical refund should be made through the Academic/Financial Petition. Petition forms are available through the Registrar’s Office website. An extra medical refund may be granted by the Committee upon submission of documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances. 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 University 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. 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 Office 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 tuition charges for the term will be replaced with an administrative cancellation fee of $300. 20 Financial Aid Policy Financial aid such as federal, state, and institutional grants and scholarships are awarded based upon the total number of registered credits on the “Last day to add with faculty signature – Full Semester class” as noted on the Academic Calendar. Students must register for internships, Time 2 classes, and ACTC classes before the “Last day to add with faculty signature-Full Semester class”. Financial aid will not be adjusted for classes added after this date. Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester by actively attending and participating in classes throughout the semester. Financial aid is recalculated when students do any of the following: drop classes without a “W” grade, fail to begin classes, cease to attend classes, fail all classes, or fully withdraw from all classes. Financial Aid – Return of Title IV Funds Policy Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester. A student can earn their aid by attending classes. Augsburg must always return any unearned Title IV funds it is responsible for returning within 45 days of the date the school determined the student withdrew. The withdrawal date used in the return to title IV calculation of a student’s federal financial aid is the actual date indicated on the official withdraw record. If a student stops attending classes without notifying the University, the withdrawal date will be the last date of academic activity determined by the University. Federal/State Aid Adjustments Augsburg is required to return unearned federal/state aid for students who fully withdraw from their courses. The Return to Title IV calculation is based on the total number of days in the semester compared to the total number of days that a student attended classes before the last date of attendance. If the student receives more aid than they ‘earned’, then the ‘unearned portion’ of the student’s aid must be returned to the U.S.Department of Education. After 60% of the term has passed, students are eligible to keep all of their federal/state aid. If you are planning to completely withdraw from your courses, please see a Student Financial Services counselor to determine what aid may need to be returned. Financial aid will be returned to the aid program from which it came. If returned to a loan program, your outstanding balance will be reduced by the amount of the return. Aid will be returned in the following order: 1. Unsubsidized Direct Loan 2. Direct Graduate PLUS Loans 3. TEACH Grant Institutional Aid Adjustments Augsburg will return institutional aid for students who partially withdraw or fully withdraw from courses. If students withdraw from their courses they will receive a 50% tuition refund and 50% of their institutional aid will be removed. If a student withdraws after the last day to receive a tuition refund, there will be no adjustment to their institutional aid. Post-Withdrawal Disbursement If a student earned more aid than was disbursed to him/her, the student may be eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement. Augsburg’s financial aid office will notify the student in writing if he/she is eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement of Title IV loan funds. A student or parent borrower must first confirm in writing whether he/she accepts/declines all or some of the loan funds offered as a post-withdrawal disbursement. A post-withdrawal disbursement of Federal grant funds does not require student acceptance or approval. The University will seek the student’s authorization to use a post-withdrawal disbursement for all other educationally related charges in addition to tuition and fees. Credit Refund Augsburg students may be eligible to receive a credit refund if their financial aid exceeds tuition and fee charges for a term. Credit refunds are issued within two weeks after the last day to drop courses without recorded notation. Financial 21 Aid needs to be finalized (You can verify your financial aid status online through Track Your Financial Aid) and applied to a student’s account (Check your Transaction History online to verify all of your financial aid has been applied to your account and nothing is left pending) before the credit refund can be issued. Changes in enrollment status, housing status, and program status may affect financial aid eligibility and credit refunds. Students who are enrolled less than half-time (less than 6.0 credits for undergraduates, less than 3.0 credit for graduates) may not be eligible for financial aid; however, students may apply for private alternative loans. Registration changes made from the first week of the term through midterm may require a return of financial aid funds. Students who drop courses may receive a tuition refund, but some forms of financial aid may have to be adjusted before a refund will be available. Financial aid return of funds may take up to 30-45 days to be processed. Bookstore Students who are registered for the upcoming term will be allowed to charge up to $750 to their student account. Students DO NOT need to request a bookstore account this year. Please plan ahead and purchase books and supplies before the scheduled cut off dates; plan ahead for courses that start midterm as you will be unable to charge anything to your student account after the cut-off date. Students’ accounts will be billed for only what was spent on their bookstore accounts before credit refunds are issued. If your bookstore charges create a balance on your account, you need to make payments in accordance with your statement. Bookstore purchases charged to a student account are intended for students who have excess financial aid funds to cover their tuition, fees, AND their books or supplies. Please contact Student Financial Services before you purchase books if you need to discuss payment options. Due to the financial aid cycle, you can only charge expenses to your bookstore account during specific times. Third Party If you are expecting a third party to cover the cost of your books, you will need to turn in an itemized receipt of your purchases to the Student Financial Services Office, along with your invoice request. Additional Funds If the cost of your textbooks and supplies are above $750 in one term, you have enough financial aid to cover the additional costs, and you would like to charge the additional amount to your student account, please send the following information to Student Financial Services (studentfinances@augsburg.edu). All requests need to be in writing. Subject: Request for additional funds Full Name: Student ID number: Additional request: Students will receive an e-mail when the additional request has been processed. Accounts are opened as quickly as possible, but it could take up to two business days for activation. Consumer Information Loss of Financial Aid Due to Drug Offense A student, who is convicted of a state or federal offense involving the possession or sale of an illegal drug that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid, is not eligible for Title IV funds. [An illegal drug is a controlled substance as defined by the Controlled Substance Act and does not include alcohol and tobacco. A borrower’s eligibility is based on the student’s self-certification on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Convictions that are reversed, set aside or removed from the student’s record, or a determination arising from a juvenile court proceeding do not affect eligibility and do not need to be reported by the student. 22 A student who is convicted of a drug-related offense that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid loses Title IV eligibility as follows: For the possession of illegal drugs: First offense: one year from the date of conviction. Second offense: two years from the date of the second conviction. Third offense: indefinitely from the date of the third conviction. For the sale of illegal drugs: First offense: two years from the date of conviction. Second offense: indefinitely from the date of the second conviction. A school must provide a student who loses Title IV eligibility due to a drug-related conviction with a timely, separate, clear, and conspicuous written notice. The notice must advise the student of his or her loss of Title IV eligibility and the ways in which the student may regain that eligibility. Regaining Eligibility after a Drug Conviction A student may regain eligibility at any time by completing an approved drug rehabilitation program and by informing the school that he or she has done so. A student regains Title IV eligibility on the date he or she successfully completes the program. A drug rehabilitation program is considered approved for these purposes if it includes at least two unannounced drug tests and meets one of the following criteria: ● ● ● ● The program received or is qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly under a federal, state, or local government program. The program is administered or recognized by a federal, state, or local government agency or court. The program received or is qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a federally or state licensed insurance company. The program administered or recognized by a federally or state-licensed hospital, health clinic, or medical doctor. Policies may change throughout an academic year if necessary to comply with federal, state, or institutional changes or regulations. 23 Student Resources/Academic and Support Services Lindell Library Resources The James G.

Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) The Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and support for students with documented learning disabilities, autism, ADHD, mental health conditions, traumatic brain injury, sensory and physical disabilities, as well as those with temporary disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, ensuring these students have equal access to Augsburg’s programs and services. Its mission reflects Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and challenging, yet supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds, abilities, preparations, and experiences. Each term, Disability Specialists work directly with students to develop a plan for equal access to Augsburg courses, programs, activities, and facilities. Students have the option to meet regularly with their specialist, and discussions may include: ● ● ● ● ● Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g., extended time, audio books) Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, student technology assistance, academic advising, counseling, financial aid) Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Accommodations Lab Coaching on academic, organizational, and time management skills Campus living accommodations The Disability Specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisors, and other members of the faculty, staff, or administration as they work to facilitate equal access for each student. Taking advantage of these accommodations and services, however, remains the student’s responsibility. Any Augsburg student who wants to establish eligibility for accommodations and services should schedule a meeting with a Specialist to discuss their needs. Academic accommodations are intended to ensure access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities and may not fundamentally alter the basic nature or essential components of Augsburg’s courses or programs. The services and technology provided by CLASS are enhanced by the generous support of the Gage, Groves, and Klas families. For further information, call 612-330-1053, visit www.augsburg.edu/class, or email class@augsburg.edu.

The Academic Calendars can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change without notice. Academic Policies The University and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges. Academic Honesty A university is a community of learners whose relationship relies on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity and credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg University community. Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a University requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student pledging to abide by the University’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. (See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide). Evaluation and Grading Evaluation of academic performance is based on letter grades using an A ‐ F scale. Grading option cannot be changed from traditional (A - F) to Pass/No Credit. Explanation of grades: Grade A AB+ B Grade Points 4.00 3.67 3.33 3.00 BC+ C CD+ D DF P N 2.67 2.33 2.00 1.67 1.33 1.00 0.67 0.00 0.00 0.00 Description Excellent Undergraduate: Good Graduate: Satisfactory Undergraduate only: Satisfactory Poor Failure Pass* No Pass *The letter equivalent of a P grade is a C- / 1.67 or higher for undergraduate courses and a B / 3.0 or higher for graduate courses. Pass/No Pass Grades In graduate courses, the grading option cannot be changed from the traditional A ‐ F grading scale to the Pass/No Pass grading system. 26 Some graduate courses only use the Pass/No Pass grading system. In order to receive a grade of P, students must achieve at least a grade of B. Incomplete (I) Grades Incomplete grades (I) are to be given only in the case of extreme emergency (e.g., illness, family emergency, death in the family, military commitment). If you have any questions regarding the qualifying emergency please contact your instructor for verification. An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Registrar’s Office that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s and program director’s signatures. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term (including summer) in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes an F. Extension (X) Grades Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of F will be assigned. Withdrawal (W) Grade A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when a student withdraws from the course after the deadline for dropping classes without a W grade and before the last day to withdraw. Withdrawals negatively impact credit completion rate but do not negatively impact the grade point average. Repeated Courses A course in which a grade of F, FN, D-, D, D+, C-, C, C+, B-, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited (exceptions are made for academic programs with minimum grade requirements of a B+ or higher or other catalog policies that require a course to be retaken). All courses taken each semester and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned for the most recent attempt, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. Courses completed at Augsburg University must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat policy. Auditing Courses Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V) on a space-available basis. Graduate students will be charged an audit fee of $1,000. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript with a V grade. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Audited courses do not count towards graduation. 27 Grade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other institutions. The formula for calculating the GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted with A to F grades assigned. The following grading symbols are not included in the GPA calculation: Symbol P S N V W I X IP R GRT L NG Explanation Fall 2017 to Present: Pass, C- or higher undergraduate or B or higher graduate work; Prior to Fall 2017: Pass, 2.0 or higher undergraduate or 3.0 or higher graduate work Satisfactory No pass, no credit Audit, no credit Withdrawn Incomplete Extension, incomplete In progress Repeat Credit granted Required lab component (a credit-bearing grade was earned in the corresponding lecture course) Not graded, no credit Attendance Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements to address the needs of particular courses, individual students, or various learning styles. Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible, students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible. Non-Attendance/Non-Participation Attendance/participation in class is important for academic success and financial aid. Therefore, students are dropped for non-attendance/non-participation after the 10th business day of the term if reported by the instructor and billed a Failure to Withdraw Fee of up to $300. Students are ultimately responsible for dropping classes if they no longer plan to attend/participate. Students who have been dropped and wish to re-enroll must submit an Academic/Financial Petition. Graduate Continuation Policy Students registering for the final project course must complete the Final Project Registration/Graduate Continuation Contract by the last day to add with faculty signature for a Full Semester class as noted on the Academic Calendar. Upon receipt of the contract, the Registrar’s Office will enroll the student in the Continuation Program for 7 semesters. Entry into the Continuation Program maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, including library and AugNet Services. If a grade is not received by the grading deadline of the 7th semester, the grade will change from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project after receiving a failing grade must meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the University and program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional coursework 28 and will need to pay tuition and fees for any additional courses. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would replace the previous N grade. Students may withdraw from the University, and thus from the Continuation Program and the final project course, at any point during the continuation period and receive a W notation on the transcript for the final project course. Following a withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the University and program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional coursework and will need to pay full tuition and fees for any additional courses. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would replace the previous W grade. Credit and Contact Hours Augsburg’s credit hour policy follows the federal guidelines in defining a semester credit hour as one fifty-minute period of instruction and 100 minutes of out-of-class work per week for fifteen weeks, or the equivalent amount of student work completed over a different time frame or via a different delivery method. All Augsburg programs follow the semester calendar with semester lengths from 14-16 weeks. Augsburg offers a summer semester which follows the same format as both fall and spring semester. Degree Requirements To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following: ● ● ● Successful completion of all required courses A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed continuation agreement with Augsburg University. Probation and Dismissal Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistant must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Graduate students in the Clinical Psychology program must consult the PsyD student manual for the Academic Warning and Reasons for Dismissal Policy. A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out with the program director. Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the University. Dismissal Appeals Process A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the University’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate negatively affected the outcome. The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard copy of the statement of appeal to the Dean of Professional Studies; email is not acceptable. The statement must identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The statement of appeal will be the only basis of the student’s appeal. The Dean of Professional Studies must receive the student’s statement of appeal within 14 calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal. The Dean of Professional Studies will send a copy of the statement of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within 15 business days of the date that the statement was 29 received by the Dean of Professional Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVP-Graduate Studies. The Dean of Professional Studies will send a copy of the program’s response to the student. The Dean of Professional Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the Dean of Professional Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty members (one from programs not named in the appeal: Business, Creative Writing, Education, Leadership, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, Social Work). The Program Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s statement of response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures and ask questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each bring a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg University faculty member, staff member, or student). The role of the third party representative is to provide support to the student or the program representative, not to serve as an advocate during the meeting. Dropping or Withdrawing Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or with a Registration Form. For drop and withdrawal deadlines see the Academic Calendar. Independent Study Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special Directed/Independent Study Registration form is required. Term Off Students may take up to two semesters off and have continued access to Augsburg email and AugNet Services. If a student is not registered after 10th day of the third semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the student will need to submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll. For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their advisor and obtain the advice of their director. Evaluation of Transfer Credit Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide appropriate documentation regarding previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university and graded B or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program requirements at Augsburg. The maximum number of semester credits that can be transferred is: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Master of Arts in Education (6) Master of Arts in Teaching (6) Master of Arts in Leadership (6) Master of Arts in Nursing (9) Master of Business Administration (18) Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (12) Master of Music Therapy (Contact program director) 30 ● ● ● ● Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator) Master of Social Work (22) Doctor of Nursing Practice (Contact program director) Doctor of Psychology (30) Augsburg credits are calculated in semester hours. If you completed courses at other institutions that are quarter hours, they will be converted to semester hours. One quarter hour equates to two-thirds of a semester hour. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Definition of Official Transcript Official transcripts are marked with institutional security features, date, and appropriate signature. Augsburg University accepts official transcripts directly from another institution’s Office of the Registrar or a secure authenticated designated party. The transcript must arrive at Augsburg University in an envelope sealed by the issuing institution or via an encrypted electronic method (adapted from AACRAO, 2018). Veterans Education Benefits Augsburg University proudly supports military veterans, those who actively serve in the U.S. Armed Forces, and their families. Our faculty and staff are committed to helping veterans and active military succeed in their academic and professional endeavors. Augsburg is approved by the state approving agency for VA education benefits. Veterans and eligible spouses and dependents should consult with the VA School Certifying Officials in the Registrar’s Office and Student Financial Services about completion of enrollment verification and the forwarding of other information to the Department of Veterans Affairs. An individual who qualifies for VA education benefits will be asked to provide a Certificate of Eligibility, Statement of Benefits, or documentation from a vocational rehabilitation counselor to confirm eligibility for their benefit. For students who qualify for and are currently utilizing Chapter 31 or Chapter 33 VA education benefits, Augsburg will not impose financial penalties or restrict access to registration or other campus services based solely on delayed payments from the VA. Please note that students are responsible for expenses beyond those covered by their VA education benefit; fees or other penalties may be assessed for failure to pay charges not covered by the VA. Students should contact the VA School Certifying Official in the Registrar’s Office if they have questions about what expenses are covered by their benefit. Additional information about veterans’ education benefits can be found at va.gov. 31 Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) The primary purpose of the Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) in clinical psychology degree program is to educate and train students in the major aspects of clinical practice. To help to ensure that students are prepared adequately, the curriculum integrates theory, training, research, and practice, preparing students to work with a wide range of populations in need of psychological services and in a broad range of roles. Students who complete the clinical psychology program earn a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) degree. The awarding of this degree indicates that the recipient has mastered the fundamental academic and experiential elements of clinical psychology. In contrast to the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree, which is primarily a research degree attainable in a variety of academic disciplines, the Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) degree program combines relevant research, applied theory, and field experience and is designed to prepare the graduate to apply psychological knowledge in a variety of settings and roles. The PsyD program will accept students who have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree. Although prior degrees need not be in psychology, some psychology courses are required (as foundation courses), and some experience in psychological services is desirable. The PsyD uses a practitioner-scholar model for training and evaluation. In addition to the prescribed coursework, the required curriculum for all PsyD students includes practicum field experiences and an internship. To complete the doctoral program successfully, students must demonstrate competency in a number of specific clinical and conceptual skills, and must complete a Clinical Research Project in the area of applied clinical psychology. The curriculum to be offered within the doctoral degree program consists primarily of courses that are required of all graduate students. Some of these required courses cover the major theories of historical and modern psychology and their application in current practice; the stages of the developmental process, and the basis for behavior; psychopathology; and a series of courses dealing with the administration and interpretation of various forms of assessment, basic intervention skills and various theory and therapy approaches. Students are also required to participate in two years of practicum field experience in assessment and psychotherapy and the seminar that accompanies each practicum. Various elective courses cover a wide range of areas, including advanced therapy and the treatment of special populations. A one-year internship or its equivalent is the final stage in the training process for the doctoral degree. Included among the basic objectives of the PsyD program are the following: ● ● ● ● ● Preparing practitioners to deliver basic diagnostic and therapeutic services to diverse populations, whether on an individual, family, or group basis Enabling practitioners to integrate biological, psychological, and sociocultural aspects of human functioning into their clinical approach Assisting practitioners to assume leadership positions within the healthcare delivery system Training psychologists to work with professionals from other disciplines as part of an effectively functioning healthcare team Preparing practitioners to evaluate and use clinical research applications of psychology Program Aims and Competencies The Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology program aims to educate and train students following the practitioner-scholar model, so that they will be able to function effectively as health service psychologists. To ensure that students are adequately prepared, the curriculum is designed to provide for meaningful integration of psychological research, theory, and clinical practice with diverse individuals within a broad spectrum of contexts. The program emphasizes the development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential for psychologists who are committed to the ethical provision of quality, evidence-based psychological services, including therapy, assessment, consultation, and supervision. Interpersonal and multicultural competency are foundational elements of our program. 32 Students who complete the clinical psychology program will earn a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) degree. The awarding of this degree indicates that the recipient has mastered the fundamental academic and experiential elements of clinical psychology. In addition to the prescribed coursework, the required curriculum for all students includes practicum field experiences and an internship. To complete the doctoral program successfully, students must demonstrate competency in a number of specific clinical and conceptual skills, and must complete a Clinical Research Project in the area of applied clinical psychology. Graduates are trained in the science and practice of psychology, and are able to apply the clinical skills of observation, assessment, intervention, and evaluation to help different segments of our ever-changing society. The areas of competency are modeled, in part, after those specified by the National Council of Schools and Programs of Professional Psychology and the standards of the American Psychological Association. Coursework is designed to meet coursework requirements for licensure as a psychologist in the state of Minnesota.

This accreditation status designates an accredited program that is no longer admitting students. This status was granted to accommodate teach-out students from Argosy University. Persons who were not enrolled in accredited Argosy programs are not to be admitted to the Augsburg University/Argosy Teach-out accredited, inactive program. For both Argosy teach-out and newly enrolled students, Augsburg University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (as of October 21, 2019) to offer the Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology. The program has also applied for accreditation on contingency status with APA for newly admitted students, and this application is currently under review. The Program is not currently APA accredited for newly admitted students who were not previously enrolled in Argosy University programs. Questions related to the program’s APA accredited status should be directed to the Commission on Accreditation: Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation American Psychological Association, 750 1st Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002, Phone: (202) 336-5979 / E-mail: apaaccred@apa.org / Web: www.apa.org/ed/accreditation 33 Matriculation through the PsyD in Clinical Psychology degree program curriculum is designed to help prepare students to sit for the national licensure examination and generally to meet licensure requirements in the state of Minnesota. Licensure requirements and standards for professional practice vary from state to state; therefore, prospective and enrolled students are urged to examine the requirements of the specific state in which they plan to practice. State licensure requirements may be obtained from: Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards P.O. Box 4389 Montgomery, Alabama 36103 332.832.4580 www.asppb.org Academic Requirements and Policies Graduation Requirements Students who are admitted into the Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology degree program will be responsible for completing the program requirements that are in effect at the time of their admission. The school retains the right to modify these requirements in accordance with the demands of the profession of psychology. To be eligible for graduation, students must meet the following requirements. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● The satisfactory completion of 98 semester credit hours. The total credit hours must include: o 69 credit hours of core courses o 2 credit hours of Professionalization Group o 12 credit hours (two years) of practicum and practicum seminar groups o A minimum of 9 credit hours of general electives o 6 credit hours of Clinical Research Project Successful completion of the Comprehensive Examination no later than the beginning of the fifth year Successful completion of all sections of the Clinical Competency Evaluation (CCE) Successful completion of a 2,000-hour internship, in not less than 12 and not more than 24 months Successful completion of the Clinical Research Project GPA of at least 3.00 (B average) Completion of these requirements within seven years of matriculation into the program A completed Petition to Graduate approved by program administration and submitted to Augsburg’s registrar. The Clinical Research Project is approved by all committee members as final, and submitted and accepted into IDUN. The date of graduation listed on your transcript will be the university’s set conferral date in the month following meeting this requirement, assuming the internship final evaluation has been received earlier. All courses other than electives are considered core courses. Students are required to retake a core course if they receive a grade below “B-.” and a course cannot be used as a prerequisite for another course if the student received a grade below B-. The course must be retaken no later than the end of the next calendar year with an earned grade of “B-” or better. Additional Requirements for Academic Progress for the PsyD Students are expected to complete the PsyD in Clinical Psychology degree program in five years. Students must complete the program within seven years after matriculation, with the practica completed by the end of the fourth year. Students are required to be in full-time residence in the program for a minimum of one academic year of pre-internship enrollment. Three full-time academic years (or the equivalent thereof) are dedicated to graduate coursework, including two years of practicum training that typically occurs during the second and the third academic years. Students are expected to maintain full-time enrollment in the program until all course requirements have been completed. The continuous registration policy will be enforced for all students who have completed all coursework except for the Clinical Research Project. Such students must be continuously enrolled for 1 credit hour of Clinical Research Project until the paper has been successfully completed and a grade has been submitted. 34 Extensions allowing enrollment beyond the seven-year limit may only be granted by the program director. Such extensions will only be granted under extenuating circumstances to allow completion of all degree requirements within a short period of time. Additional requirements for academic progress are described in the Student Handbook. Clinical Training Overview Clinical trainings are supervised, out-of-class experiences in clinical settings. Through this contact, students have the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge, implement clinical techniques based on this knowledge, and develop the professional and personal attitudes important to the identity of a professional psychologist. By the end of clinical training, Clinical Psychology program students are expected to possess effective assessment and intervention skills, demonstrate cultural competence, relational competence, and practice in an ethical manner. During their clinical training, students advance through progressively challenging levels of training. At each level, a student’s progress is assessed in multiple ways by multiple faculty members and field supervisors. In order to advance to the next level of clinical training, the student must pass certain courses, complete practicum, and demonstrate competency in specific clinical tasks. Practicum and Practicum Seminar Requirements Completion of two practica, the first focusing on psychological assessment and the second focusing on psychological interventions, must be completed for the PsyD in Clinical Psychology degree program. Details of Practicum and Practicum Seminar eligibility and requirements may be found in the Student Handbook. Clinical Competency Evaluation (CCE) Requirements The Clinical Competency Examination (CCE) is a series of competency-based tasks required for PsyD students in which students demonstrate to the faculty a mastery of major clinical assessment and therapy skills. The purpose of this evaluation is to monitor the student’s growth and development of clinical competence in accordance with the standards of the profession and to ensure student acquisition of appropriate skill levels for subsequent internship training and clinical practice. Detailed requirements for the CCE are contained in the Student Handbook. Comprehensive Examination Requirements Students in the PsyD in Clinical Psychology degree program are required to successfully complete a Comprehensive Examination to demonstrate that they have mastered the fundamental theories and concepts required of a clinical psychologist. The Comprehensive Examination covers material from required courses and training activities during the first three years of study in the Clinical Psychology Program. Procedures for the Comprehensive Examination are described in the Student Handbook. Clinical Research Project Requirements The Clinical Psychology program requires each PsyD student to develop a Clinical Research Project (CRP) as a requirement for graduation. The CRP is intended to be a scholarly work that provides students an opportunity to deepen their knowledge and thought about a particular clinical area; to demonstrate the ability to analyze methodological issues; and to produce an original piece of scholarly work in the field of clinical psychology. Assisting the student in this process is a committee of faculty members who will review the material and make recommendations and suggestions. Detailed requirements for completing the Clinical Research Project are found in the CRP Manual section of the Student Handbook. Internship Requirements The internship is typically completed during the fifth year of graduate studies for PsyD students, after all PsyD coursework is finished. The Director of Clinical Training helps students identify an appropriate location for internship and prepare the documentation necessary for internship application. During the course of the internship, the Training 35 Department continues to monitor the progress of the student and maintain contact with the student and his or her supervisor. While an internship may be a paid position, the internship site may not be the student’s regular or prior place of employment. The internship must be completed within the overall seven-year time limit for completing the doctoral degree program. Internships normally require a full-time commitment for 12 months, although half-time internships extending for 24 months are possible. Since the needs of students differ during the internship process, all internship sites must receive the approval of the training staff. A student may not apply for an internship without the approval of the Director of Training. All internship applications must be approved by the Director of Training. Detailed requirements for internship are described in the Student Handbook. Additional Academic Standards and Student Evaluation Students in the PsyD in Clinical Psychology degree program are in training to fill the professional role of a licensed health service psychologist. As such, their performance and competence will be evaluated across a number of dimensions. In addition to performance on traditional academic tasks and requirements, the student’s cognitive, emotional, psychological and interpersonal functioning and development will be reviewed and evaluated. Students are also required to conform to ethical standards which govern the behavior of professional psychologists. Transferring Courses from Other Institutions (Apart from Argosy University Twin Cities Clinical Psychology PsyD Program) Students who have completed graduate coursework at another institution may petition the program director(s) for transfer of courses in the PsyD in Clinical Psychology degree program up to a maximum of 30 credit hours (10 courses). Detailed information about eligibility for transferring courses is contained in the Student Handbook. Students are strongly encouraged to submit transfer requests before or during the first semester of enrollment in the program. The transfer request must be accompanied by a transcript reflecting completion of the course and the grade received, along with other supporting documentation, such as course description, syllabus, and work samples. No transfer credit will be given for courses taken elsewhere after matriculation into the Clinical Psychology degree program. For teachout students, all courses that were taken in the PsyD Clinical Psychology Program at Argosy University Twin Cities campus will generally be transferred to Augsburg in full, provided grade minimum and other course requirements were met both at Argosy and at Augsburg. Course credits transferred to Augsburg from Argosy as part of the Argosy teachout program do not count towards the total number of transfer credits allowed when transferring to Augsburg from an institution other than Argosy’s PsyD Clinical Psychology program. Criteria for Academic Warning and Program Dismissal The Student Handbook lists reasons for and criteria under which students may receive an academic warning or be dismissed from the PsyD programs. Residency Requirements PsyD in Clinical Psychology degree program students are required to complete a minimum of three full-time academic years of graduate study (or the equivalent thereof) and completion of an internship prior to awarding the degree. At least two of the three academic training years (or the equivalent thereof) must be completed at the campus from which the degree is granted, and at least one year of which must be in full-time residence (or the equivalent thereof) at that same campus. Attendance Policy The PsyD program will follow Augsburg attendance policies. Any exceptions must be approved by the program director. More than two absences in a class can be grounds for not passing that class; students should notify faculty of any anticipated absences. 36 Criteria for Enrollment Load Students in the Doctor of Psychology program are considered to be enrolled full-time in the program if any of the following conditions apply: ● ● The student is registered in at least six credits during a semester.

Field Experience An important part of preparing to be a teacher resides in meaningful experiences in the field. For courses with a field experience, you should plan on a minimum of 20 hours spent in a classroom or other relevant learning environment during the weekday. Most field experiences are intended to be completed in a classroom or grade level that corresponds with your licensure type (e.g. K-6 classrooms for an elementary license). If more than one course with field experience is taken in a given term, field experience requirements expand accordingly (i.e., two courses with 20 hours of field experience each require a total of 40 hours). Graduate Elective Courses Depending on the licensure area, students may be required to take one or two graduate elective courses. Other students may wish to enroll in additional graduate coursework based on interest. MAT students may take any course offered at the 500 level in Education (EDC, ESE, EED, SPE) or Leadership (MAL) as a graduate elective. Graduate students may also petition to enroll in coursework offered by any graduate program at Augsburg University as a graduate elective. In many cases, the Graduate Director of the program offering the elective will also need to approve registration. Students may alternatively petition to have graduate coursework taken at another institution be accepted in transfer. Admission to MAT Admission Requirements Students admitted into the MAT licensure and degree programs must have: ● ● Bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited four-year institution or an appropriately certified foreign institution. Cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher. Application Checklist The following items must be sent to the Augsburg Office of Admissions: ● ● Completed application form – augsburg.edu/gpe/ Official academic transcripts from the Bachelor’s degree granting institution. o Additional transcripts will be requested to review relevant coursework that could be used to fulfill education licensure coursework. A student may request to have transcripts waived but this could extend the length of study at Augsburg. If a transcript is provided after admission, the initial course plan may no longer be accurate. 42 Admission as an International Student International applicants must submit the required application materials listed above. Refer to the additional requirements outlined in Admission of International Students. Course Exceptions and Graduate Course Transfer Credit Some coursework required for licensure may be met through a course exception granted upon admission to the program. Previous coursework taken at other universities is evaluated by the Department Chair during the admission process. Some content area courses for secondary education students are evaluated by the content area department. This degree audit may reveal that fewer courses are required for licensure. In some circumstances, additional courses may be required in a secondary content area. When graduate coursework is met with a course exception, additional graduate credits will only be required if the total graduate credit hours to be earned is less than 30 CH. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAT degree program. Previous graduate coursework must have received a grade of B or better to be considered. See the graduate program director for approval to use graduate level transfer courses in the degree program.

Accreditation and Approvals Augsburg University Teacher Education programs are approved by: ● Minnesota Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board (PELSB) Augsburg University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Credit Most MAT graduate level courses are offered for 3 semester credits. Each course is comprised of 37.5 instructional hours with the expectation of about 75 hours of independent study outside of class. Schedule of Classes The majority of the education courses in the MAT programs are offered on weekday evenings. Courses typically meet face to face every other week with online instruction during the alternate weeks. A few education courses and many undergraduate content area courses are offered in a face to face, classroom based format, meeting weekly in the evenings. Summer session courses are offered primarily on weekday evenings. Summer courses are offered in a mix of formats from all online to all face-to-face. Master of Arts in Education (MAE) For those interested in developing their professional capacity, taking graduate coursework in educational studies, or obtaining a second teaching license, Augsburg University offers a Master of Arts in Education (MAE) degree. The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program offers professional educators and community workers the opportunity to develop their skills and understanding in curriculum and pedagogy. Our program prepares educators to serve students effectively and to nurture healthy change within schools, school systems and society. 44 Program Requirements 30-31 Graduate Credit Hours The MAE at Augsburg is premised by two assumptions: first, that we learn through a series of experiences, embodied through a lived curriculum or “currere” (Grumet & Pinar, 2014) and, second, that graduate inquiry entails an ongoing cycle of critical questioning and a commitment to continuous improvement, of ourselves and our world. This program invites students to engage in critical discourse relevant and pertinent to their own socio-cultural context, integrating relevant knowledge to address the problems they identify and wish to address. As we are all life-long learners, our faculty partner with students in collective searches and re-searches for insight and shared meaning. Our faculty bring their expert knowledge, both disciplinary and interdisciplinary, to help students gain access to the tools of scholarly and pragmatic inquiry, in order to critique, deconstruct our world as it is and envisage our schools and communities as we would like them to be. In other words, we co-construct curriculum with students, a collaborative effort to facilitate emergent intellectual and material journeys. This process entails studies of agency and selfpoliticization, understanding of different experiences and interactions with broken systems, and articulations of alternative ways of knowing and organizing our social relationships. Required Core Courses (10 CH) EDC 501 – Graduate Proseminar (1 CH) EDC 511 – Tools of Inquiry (3 CH) EDC 560 – Issues In/equity (3 CH) EDC 571 – Navigating Change in Education (3 CH) Concentration Coursework (12 CH) *Note: Concentration Coursework may consist of any education coursework.

These credit hours may be taken as electives from other graduate programs at Augsburg or from Education coursework. They may also be taken as professional development workshops and institutes that offer graduate credit. Please contact the Graduate Programs in Education office or consult the Handbook for more information about these opportunities. Additional Degree Requirements Students in the MAE are required to complete an Inquiry Project in partial fulfillment of their degree. Details regarding the Inquiry Project are found below. Additional information can be found in the Graduate Programs in Education Handbook. Alternatively, students may petition to complete a thesis in lieu of the Inquiry Project. Please consult the Thesis Completion section below for details about doing a thesis in the MAE program. MAE Inquiry Project Students elect to complete the inquiry project in the graduate course of their choosing with the consent of the instructor. Since most courses have a culminating graduate assignment, students would notify their instructor that they wish to complete the inquiry project in their course. The instructor of the course serves as evaluator/facilitator of the inquiry project. The inquiry project can be completed at any time in the program. The project completion will be introduced in EDC 501 (Graduate Proseminar) and discussed in greater detail in EDC 511 (Tools of Inquiry) An inquiry project should integrate and synthesize the course topic, student experience and insight, and the questions that underpin student inquiry throughout the program. An inquiry project may be classroom or community-based in nature. The inquiry project is a contextualized project designed by graduate students that facilitates: • • professional development within the context of a discipline. participation in and contribution to our broader communities. Mazzeo et al (Perin, 2011, p. 6) define contextualization as instructional strategies intended to link academic content with its application in a specific context relevant to the students. Additionally, community-based instruction is defined as systematic instruction that integrates community settings with meaningful learning and it is age-appropriate to the students. Drawing from the literature of experiential learning, the project will be designed with a focus on the relevance of presenting problems and societal issues, so that students can apply what they learn to their work in the world. The inquiry project is left to be intentionally open so that graduate students may design school or community based projects that are relevant to the context in which they work. This allows graduate students to explore a compelling project in which they are allowed to design an effective tool to be used in authentic settings and for authentic purposes. The form and content of the project will be proposed by the graduate students and guided within the content of one graduate course. Projects should demonstrate relevance and applicability to educational contexts. The project will include a synthesis of relevant literature, and inquiry and professional development activities undertaken by the student either alone or in collaboration with faculty, other graduate students, or community members. Support for Students After 12 credit hours, the Graduate Program will audit progress with each student to determine their progress towards developing an inquiry project. For students who require additional support in developing their projects, they may be advised toward particular coursework to better prepare their project work. Tools of Inquiry (EDC 511) may be repeated at the end of the program (counts as an elective) in order to further develop or hone their project if they are unable to complete it during the course in which they have elected to complete the Inquiry Project.

Admission as an International Student International applicants must submit the required application materials listed above. Refer to the additional requirements outlined in Admission of International Students. Course Exceptions and Graduate Course Transfer Credit Some coursework required for licensure may be met through a course exception granted upon admission to the program. Previous coursework taken at other universities is evaluated by the Department Chair during the admission process. Some content area courses for secondary education students are evaluated by the content area department. This degree audit may reveal that fewer courses are required for licensure. In some circumstances, additional courses 48 may be required in a secondary content area. Should a graduate level course be met through course exception, those graduate credit hours may need to be made up through the use of a graduate elective. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree program. Previous graduate coursework must have received a grade of B or better to be considered. See the graduate program director for approval to use graduate level transfer courses in the degree program. Students may transfer in no more than six (6) graduate credit hours from another institution. Acceptance into the MAE Program Application files are reviewed by the graduate program coordinator.

Résumé For further information, contact: Office of Admissions, 612-330-1101, gradinfo@augsburg.edu or www.augsburg.edu/mal. Admission as an International Student International applicants must submit the required application materials listed above. Refer to the additional requirements outlined in Admission of International Students in the Graduate Admissions section. Academic Policies Academic Evaluation No more than two courses with a grade below B- will count toward the degree. No more than two courses with a grade of or below B- can be repeated. However, students must achieve a minimum grade of B- or higher in the MA in Leadership Foundations and Capstone courses – ML 505, ML 514, ML 560, and ML 585. In order to graduate, a student must have a cumulative graduate GPA of 3.00 or above with all required courses and the final projects successfully completed. A student registered for a final course may, with the approval of the program director, be permitted to participate in commencement but will not receive a diploma until all courses are successfully completed. Academic Probation and Dismissal Policies Students must maintain a 3.00 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.00 average, the student will be placed on probation for the following term. A 3.00 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If a student receives a grade of N or F in a course, the student must petition successfully with the MA in Leadership director before being allowed to continue in the program. A plan for the student to follow would be outlined at that time. If a second grade of N or F is received, the student may be dismissed from the program. Students may also be dismissed for behavior detrimental to the program, such as a gross violation of University policy (as published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would occur only after established procedures were followed. 57 Class Attendance Policy The nature of leadership development requires interpersonal engagement. Communication and interaction are an important part of the learning process. Interaction that is online as well as face-to-face is central to the Augsburg MA in Leadership. To miss a class in either the classic or hybrid format is to miss a significant portion of the course’s content. Given the limited number of meeting times in both formats, our expectation is that students will be present at all class meetings. In the rare instance of a family or personal emergency, the absence will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Since every student is expected to engage in class discussion, reflection, and group presentation in all classes, not being present in a class will mean that part of the course’s requirements cannot be met. If a student feels they are going to miss a class, they must contact the faculty member prior to the absence to determine if 1) the course should be dropped or 2) it is possible to make up some of the missed material – and if so, how. The final decision will be made by the individual faculty member based on a discussion with the student and the student’s overall performance in the class. MA in Leadership Program Enrollment Policy Students normally take either one or two courses per semester. Enrolling in two courses per semester (including summer semester) enables a student to complete the coursework in the program within two years. Students who are away from classes for one year or longer must complete an Application for Readmission and submit it to the Registrar’s Office. Students who have been out of the program for more than two years may, at the discretion of the program director, be required to take additional courses to refresh their understanding of the field.

Students select from two tracks of study—Transformational Nursing Leadership or Transcultural Nursing. Both tracks prepare nurse leaders to assume a wide variety of roles and responsibilities throughout the healthcare system and in emerging care settings in communities. Mission Within the context of liberal arts education and guided by the values of the Lutheran Church, the Master of Arts in Nursing program prepares nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural nursing practice across care settings with particular emphasis on promoting health equity locally and globally. Program Goals Graduates of the Master of Art in Nursing Program are prepared to: ● ● ● Provide a foundation for the practice of transculturally competent nursing by synthesizing, integrating, and applying nursing research and theory in advanced nursing practice and leadership roles. Provide a sound scholarly foundation for transformative advanced nursing practice and leadership and further graduate study. Create and sustain a teaching-learning environment that promotes open scholarly exchange, personal growth, lifelong learning, leadership, and vocation of professional service in a global society. Curriculum The MAN curriculum is organized into 33 semester credits –15 semester credits in a Nursing Core, in which all students enroll, and 18 semester credits in one of the two Tracks of Study. Practica are taken concurrently with most courses and are integrated throughout the program. Each semester credit of practicum is equal to 45 clock hours of practice. Students select a track of study when applying to the program, however, this is not essential until after one’s first semester. Students may study full-time (6-8 semester credits per term) or part-time (4 semester credits per term). Time to degree completion takes an average 22 months when studying full-time, and 32 months when studying part-time. Nursing Core Courses (15 semester credits) The core nursing courses integrate a strong foundation of social justice incorporating multiple ways of knowing with curricular emphasis on nursing science, art, and theory to guide practice. NUR 500 - Transcultural Health Care (3 semester credits) NUR 500P - Practicum: Transcultural Health Care (1 semester credit) NUR 541 - Politics of Health (3 semester credits) NUR 541P - Practicum: Politics of Health Care (1 semester credit) NUR 505 - Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Nursing Practice (3 semester credits) NUR 505P - Practicum: Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Practice Nursing (1 semester credit) NUR 520 - Research Methods in Nursing (3 semester credits) NUR520P - Practicum: Research Methods in Nursing (1 semester credit, optional) Transformational Nursing Leadership Track (18 semester credits) The Transformational Nursing Leadership track is designed to develop nurse leaders’ ability to critically analyze, articulate, and develop effective strategies to cope with high level health care inequities. Curricular emphasis is on interprofessional collaboration across care settings. Participation in nursing leadership practica in traditional and emerging care settings adds depth and meaning to classroom dialogue. Practica also provide opportunities for students to apply 60 knowledge and gain experience partnering with diverse care providers, populations, and communities to address health inequities in creative and relevant ways. Transformational Nursing Leadership track courses include: NUR 501 - Nursing Leadership in Complex Adaptive Systems (3 semester credits) NUR 501P - Practicum: Nursing Leadership in Complex Adaptive Systems (1 semester credit) NUR 521 - Transformational Nursing Leadership (3 semester credits) NUR 521P - Practicum: Transformational Nursing Leadership (1 semester credit) NUR 523 - Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (3 semester credits) NUR 523P - Practicum: Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (2 semester credits) NUR 525 - Graduate Field Project (3 semester credits) NUR 525P - Practicum: Graduate Field Project (2 semester credits) Students graduating from the Transformational Leadership Track of the master’s program are eligible to apply to the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for certification as a Nurse Executive, Advanced and to the Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing. Graduate Field Project in Transformational Nursing Leadership Students will fulfill their Master of Arts in Nursing through a final practice-focused project, which serves as the capstone of the master’s program. The last two classes in the curriculum–NUR 523 and NUR 525—emphasize the development and articulation of a graduate field project focused on transformational leadership. Students present their final projects in NUR 525. Transcultural Nursing Across Care Settings Track (18 semester credits) The Transcultural Nursing track in the Master of Arts in Nursing program is designed to prepare nurses for advanced practice across care settings in culturally diverse communities. The curriculum is grounded in nursing science, theoryguided practice, and transcultural principles. Emphasis is on reaching out to persons and populations that are underserved by traditional care systems and who exist outside of the social mainstream. As such, the track provides rich alternative learning opportunities for graduate students locally and internationally. Transcultural Nursing Across Care Settings track courses include: NUR 532 - Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (3 semester credits) NUR 532P – Practicum: Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (1 semester credits) NUR 530 - The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Healing (3 semester credits) NUR 530P – Practicum: The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Healing (1 semester credits) NUR 523 - Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (3 semester credits) NUR 523P – Practicum: Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (2 semester credits) NUR 525 - Graduate Field Project (3 semester credits) NUR 525P - Graduate Field Project (2 semester credits) Students graduating from the Transcultural Nursing track of the master’s program are eligible to apply to the Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing. Graduate Field Project in Transcultural Nursing Students will fulfill their Master of Arts in Nursing through a final practice-focused project, which serves as the capstone of the master’s program. The last two classes in the curriculum—NUR 523 and NUR 525—emphasize the development and articulation of a graduate field project focused on transcultural nursing. Students present their final projects in NUR 525. Practica Practice experience is emphasized in both tracks in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. Students earn 9 semester credits of practicum work that is equal to 405 clock hours of practice—45 clock hours per semester credit hour. Some practica are semi-structured, experiential, and led by faculty and cultural guides familiar with the communities in which the practica occur. Other practica options are student directed. Students are encouraged to immerse themselves in 61 practice settings that serve persons underserved or excluded from mainstream health care, as emphasis in the transcultural track is on cultural diversity and health inequities across healthcare settings. Practica focusing on experiential learning with a transformational nurse leader provides students with the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of organizational dynamics and change through a complexity science paradigm. Augsburg Central Health Commons & the Health Commons in Cedar-Riverside A unique opportunity for students to explore advanced nursing roles and new models and forms of practice is provided by the Augsburg Central Health Commons, and the Health Commons in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. Both Health Commons are nursing-led drop-in centers dedicated to serving those in need and focused on healthy individuals and communities. People from diverse backgrounds, who have health experiences grounded in wide ranging cultural contexts frequent the Health Commons for health support and reassurance. Service and care are based on respect, relationship, and collaboration that connects health and hope for all participants. Health Commons partners include Central Lutheran Church in downtown Minneapolis, Fairview Health Services, People’s Center, and the East Africa Health Project. Study Abroad and Away The Department of Nursing works closely with cultural guides and nurse mentors in various contexts of care in emerging care settings at home and abroad. The Center for Global Education is a partner with the Department of Nursing in developing and facilitating study abroad opportunities in Guatemala, Mexico, Namibia, Pine Ridge, SD, and England.. Additional collaborative partners include the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS) in Namibia.

As a post-master’s program, the DNP-TCN track of study prepares nurses for advanced leadership and practice roles in Transcultural Nursing (TCN). Mission Within the framework of liberal arts education and guided by the values of the Lutheran Church, the post-master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice program, TCN Leadership track of study prepares nurses for advanced transcultural nursing leadership in communities in order to maximize health through peaceful, just, and collaborative actions that uphold and improve human potential across care settings and care systems, with emphasis on eliminating health inequities locally and globally. Program Goals Graduates of the Doctor of Nursing Practice program are prepared to: ● ● ● Negotiate the complexity of multicultural care settings and care systems to eliminate health inequities among populations and communities Challenge conventional knowledge about illness through an ecological approach to social determinants of health Lead change through building coalitions with marginalized people that are based on mutuality and common cause Program Structure The program is structured in a cohort model. One cohort a year will be admitted to begin in the fall term. Students can choose to take full or part-time study. Students taking full-time study take two didactic offerings, two seminars, and a practicum each semester. Students in full-time study can complete the post-master’s DNP-TCN curriculum in 20 months, including completion of the DNP project. Students selecting part-time study take one didactic offering, one seminar and a practicum each semester. As a part-time student, completion of the program is expected to take 32 months, including completion of the DNP project. The DNP curriculum is organized into 33 semester credits comprised of didactic classes, experiential practica, and seminars, with a DNP project completing the degree. As a practice doctorate, the emphasis is on building leadership and practice skills in knowledge application among diverse population groups. The goal is to improve health and decrease health inequities that lead to unnecessary morbidity and mortality in communities. Students graduating from the DNP-TCN track are eligible to apply to the Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing. Didactic A total of six didactic courses (18 semester credits) constitute the DNP program. One course equals three semester credits. The DNP courses (NUR 800 level), are taught in a hybrid format using video conferencing combining face-to-face class times and web-based instruction to meet the needs of working adults. Class schedules vary with didactic courses meeting via face to face zoom for four or five hours once a month. Practica Practica are organized to give flexibility and individual choice to students to support their increasing independence and depth of practice experience at the doctoral level. Students select practicum experiences that are either structured immersions in a variety of cultural contexts led by nursing faculty or are student initiated and individually directed experiences mentored by nursing faculty. In a 15-week semester, practicum hours are computed as follows: 65 ● ● ● 1 semester credit hour = 2 semester credit hours = 3 semester credit hours = 45 clock hours of practicum time per semester 90 clock hours of practicum time per semester 135 clock hours of practicum time per semester To earn the DNP, students must complete a total of 1,000 practicum hours in their Master’s and DNP programs. Students will be allowed to transfer up to 600 practicum hours from their master’s in nursing into the Augsburg DNP. As such, all students will register for at least nine semester credits of practica in the post-master’s DNP-TCN. An orientation to the DNP program is typically scheduled in September that provides 45 hours of practica. This five day practicum immerses students in ways of knowing of the Lakota people and students spend time at Sylvan Lake Lodge, Custer, South Dakota. Study Abroad and Away The Department of Nursing works closely with cultural guides and nurse mentors in various contexts of care in emerging care settings at home and abroad. The Center for Global Education and Experience is a partner with the Department of Nursing in developing and facilitating study abroad opportunities in Guatemala, Mexico, Namibia, Pine Ridge, SD, and England. Additional collaborative partners include the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS) in Namibia. A detailed listing of practica and immersion experiences abroad and away can be found at the nursing website (www.augsburg.edu/nursing). Seminars Seminars focus on integration of conceptual learning with field practice, developing the student’s particular practice interests. Students are required to participate in a doctoral seminar every semester —fall and spring—until completion of the DNP degree. Cohorts of students who enter the DNP program together usually progress as a group in the seminars in which they enroll each semester, depending on whether they are studying full-time or part-time. The final seminar (NUR 841) culminates in the DNP project presentation and completion of the requirements for the DNP degree. Final DNP Project Final DNP projects must make a significant impact on nursing practice and health outcomes of populations and communities, demonstrate an evidence-based contribution to existing nursing knowledge, and be suitable for presentation or publication in a peer-reviewed venue. Through this scholarly project students demonstrate leadership in synthesizing and applying scientific knowledge to practice challenges in local and/or system wide contexts of care. Students should begin working on their DNP projects in the early stages of the DNP program and continue throughout the program. The student’s scholarly project is planned in collaboration with a major faculty advisor. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. Admission to the DNP-TCN Applicants to the Doctor of Nursing Practice TCN program must have: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● An earned master’s degree in nursing from a regionally-accredited institution A GPA of 3.2 on a 4.0 grading scale in master’s in nursing program A current unencumbered RN license to practice in the US.

The curriculum emphasizes knowledge, skills and values that foster one’s ability to lead change, while addressing health needs and concerns of families and communities. Nursing scholarship and advanced autonomous practice as a primary care Nurse Practitioner, frames the critical exploration of knowledge in transcultural nursing, integrative healthcare practices, transformational leadership, and health assessment. Mission Within the framework of liberal arts education and guided by the values of the Lutheran Church, the post-BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) to DNP/FNP track of study prepares nurses for advanced nursing leadership and integrative primary care of families across cultures and care settings. Emphasis is on eliminating health inequities through peaceful, just, and collaborative actions that uphold and improve human potential. Program Goals Graduates of the Doctor of Nursing Practice/Family Nurse Practitioner program are prepared to: ● ● ● ● ● Negotiate the complexity of multicultural care settings and care systems to eliminate health inequities among populations and communities. Challenge conventional knowledge about illness through an ecological approach to social determinants of health. Lead change through building coalitions with marginalized people that are based on mutuality and common cause. Provide primary care to persons, families and communities with particular consideration for those who are underserved and/or marginalized by dominant societal structures. Integrate scientific evidence based guidelines into clinical practice. Program Structure The program is structured to admit students beginning each fall semester. Students take courses on a full-time basis during the completion of their 500 level courses, pre-FNP 800 level courses, and during the didactic and clinical courses in the FNP program. Length of program: The Post-BSN to DNP/FNP track of study leads to eligibility for certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and requires a minimum of 84 semester credit hours, including 53 didactic credit hours, 4 seminar credits, and 24 clinical credit hours. Didactic A total of 19 didactic courses (53 semester credits) constitute the DNP/FNP program. Didactic classes, seminars, clinical skills labs, structured practica, and clinical experiences are taught in a variety of flexible schedules that are responsive to student needs. 500-level courses consist of six hybrid classes a semester - four hours of class time, using video conferencing, in addition to taking a one credit practicum course associated with the didactic course. The DNP courses (NUR 800 level during 2nd year of study), are taught in a variety of modalities: one format is one 8 hour day the first month and then 3 - four hour class sessions each subsequent month. Other classes may meet a total of 3 to 6 times a semester for 8 hours Other courses are offered in an immersion format of four days of class per semester. The FNP courses (final two years of study) are offered on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday, approximately six times a semester for five hours. Class time hours will vary. Web-based assignments are integrated into all classes through Moodle. Class attendance is expected and should be considered a key responsibility, not only to one’s self, but to one’s classmates and the course instructor. Classes are held on Augsburg’s campus in Minneapolis and in Rochester, MN, at Bethel Lutheran Church (810 3rd Ave SE) the location of Augsburg’s learning site or at Hermitage Farm Center for Healing, 6415 West River Road NW, Rochester, MN. Video conferencing using Zoom technology is used for some of the 69 classes. However, students must be prepared to drive to Rochester and/or Minneapolis for classes. If weather is inclement, Zoom technology is used. Practica (for DNP courses) / Clinicals (for FNP courses) To earn the DNP-FNP, a student must complete a total of 1080 practicum hours. This includes 360 practica hours for the DNP portion and 675 hours for the clinical portion. Practica are organized to give flexibility and individual choice to students to support their increasing independence and depth of practice experience at the doctoral level. Students select practicum experiences that are either structured immersions in a variety of cultural contexts led by nursing faculty or that are student initiated and individually directed experiences mentored by nursing faculty. Students will be allowed to transfer up to 400 practicum hours from their master’s degree in nursing. 675 integrative primary care clinical hours are required. FNP clinical sites will be arranged by clinical faculty. Of the 675 clinical hours: 100 hours focuses on children/women’s health issues, 575 hours focuses on integrative primary care. In a 15-week semester, practicum hours are computed as follows: ● ● ● 1 semester credit hour = 45 clock hours of practicum time per semester 2 semester credit hour = 90 clock hours of practicum time per semester 3 semester credit hour = 135 clock hours of practicum time per semester Required Practica hours = 360 which equals 8 credits Required Clinical hours=675 which equals 15 credits The total credits for practica and clinicals are equal to 23. Seminars Seminars focus on integration of conceptual learning with field practice developing the student’s particular practice interest. Students are required to participate in a total of four one-semester-credit doctoral seminars during the DNP/FNP program. The final seminar culminates in the project presentation and completion of the requirements for the DNP degree. Clinical Skills Labs Four 0.5 credit skills labs are scheduled throughout the program to teach hand-on skills to students. These clinical skills labs focus on Women’s Health, HEENT, Musculoskeletal, and Dermatology and Suturing. Study Abroad and Away The Department of Nursing works closely with cultural guides and nurse mentors in various contexts of care in emerging care settings at home and abroad. The Center for Global Education and Experience is a partner with the Department of Nursing in developing and facilitating study abroad opportunities in Guatemala, Mexico, Namibia, Pine Ridge, SD, and England. Additional collaborative partners include the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS) in Namibia. A detailed listing of practica and immersion experiences abroad and away can be found at the nursing website (www.augsburg.edu/nursing). Final DNP/FNP Project Final DNP/FNP projects must make a significant impact on nursing practice and health outcomes of populations and communities, demonstrate an evidence-based contribution to existing nursing knowledge, and be suitable for presentation or publication in a peer-reviewed venue. Through this scholarly project students demonstrate leadership in synthesizing and applying scientific knowledge to practice challenges in local and/or system wide contexts of care. Students should begin working on their DNP/FNP projects in the early stages of the program and continue throughout. The student’s scholarly project is planned in collaboration with a major faculty advisor. 70 For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.

Meeting the minimum admission criteria does not ensure that an applicant will be admitted to the program. The above Admission Criteria are current at the time of publication and are subject to change. In addition to the requirements noted in the international student admissions section, applicants who have graduated from a foreign nursing program may request the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) (www.cgfns.org) to forward their educational credentials report to the Minnesota State Board of Nursing. Once their credentials are verified, applicants must apply for licensure and demonstrate successful passing of the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). Nurses who have previously submitted CGFNS credential verification in a state other than Minnesota, who have passed the NCLEX, will be considered for admission and must meet the same residency requirements expected of all students. Applicants whose first language is not English must submit score evidence from TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score report of 80 on the Internet Based TOEFL (iBT) with a subscore of 20 on the written and 20 on the speaking sections. See Graduate Admissions for more information. (www.augsburg.edu/grad/international) 71 Academic Policies Evaluation of academic performance in the DNP program will be based on letter grades. See detailed information in the Academic Programs and Policies Attendance Policy Class attendance is expected and should be considered a key responsibility, not only to one’s self, but to one’s classmates and the course instructor. Instructors may lower grades if attendance and participation is lacking. Individual syllabi will contain individual instructors’ requirements. Because classes are held in Rochester and Minneapolis, students must prepare to drive to various site locations. Academic Probation and Dismissal Policies Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in the DNP program. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If a student receives a grade of a B- or less, the student must petition to the faculty of the DNP program before being allowed to continue in the program. If a second grade of a B- or less is received, the student may be dismissed from the program. Students may also be dismissed for behavior detrimental to the program, such as a gross violation of University policy as published in the Student Guide. Dismissal would occur only after established procedures were followed. Accreditation The Doctor of Nursing Practice program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), which has accredited the Master of Arts in Nursing and the Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs at Augsburg.

The Augsburg MBA is an ACBSP accredited program that is a rigorous and rewarding educational experience. The Augsburg MBA is practical and “handson,” focusing on applicable skills and knowledge designed to increase your ability to think critically, analyze data, recognize trends and take the appropriate action. Toward the end of the program, Augsburg MBA students work on a consulting project for a business organization or social enterprise. Students are divided into groups of four or five and write strategic, business and marketing plans for the organization or entrepreneur. In the past 15 years, students have written plans and made recommendations for facility expansions, new product introductions, and new marketing programs. In the end, the MBA teams present their final recommendations to the CEO and the leadership team. The Augsburg MBA provides students a unique opportunity to investigate business cultures and practices through a faculty-led international experience. Our curriculum integrates the global experience of our faculty and reflects Augsburg’s mission of developing leaders grounded in values, purpose, and vocation. The Augsburg MBA is a proven accelerated cohort-based program focused on three learning modules: Personal and Professional Development, Quantitative Decision Making, and Value Creation, all built on a foundation of ethical decision-making. The students write their own personal development plan focusing on their core strengths, core convictions, personal mission statement, goals for the next five years and an action plan to accomplish those goals. We encourage our students to challenge themselves, their classmates and professors to bring a new and expanded focus of the world through guided reflection and examination. Augsburg MBA students are chosen because they exhibit purpose and direction in their careers and lives, and positive engagement with their community and associates. Our MBA graduates make a difference. We invite you to become part of a growing community of Augsburg MBA alumni. George Dierberger, Ed.D. Interim Director, Master of Business Administration Program MBA Mission - “Prepare Students for Meaningful Work” Our mission is to prepare students for meaningful work by developing their decision-making skills, critical thinking and by transforming them into effective managers and leaders in service to others. The program aspires to provide an outstanding student-centered education that produces graduates who are critically astute, technically proficient, and who understand the moral and ethical consequences of their decisions for their organization and the world. Accreditation The Augsburg MBA is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). Augsburg is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the listing in the Accreditation, Approvals, and Memberships section. MBA Program Overview Today’s business leader must be able to quickly analyze situations and information and critically analyze alternatives and courses of action. The purpose of the Augsburg MBA is to prepare students to accept greater responsibility in organizations facing this dynamic , highly competitive global economy. The curriculum has been designed to teach students the ability to analyze data, think critically, and apply innovative solutions to complex problems. Quality, individual initiative, ethics, and teamwork are hallmarks of the Augsburg MBA. We have a commitment to continually improve students’ experiences and learning in the program. Our faculty is uniquely qualified to bridge theory and realworld application, giving MBA students opportunities to acquire skills and knowledge in a variety of disciplines. 73 Plan of Study The Augsburg MBA is an accelerated, evening program that allows working professionals to complete an MBA degree in approximately 26 months. This is accomplished by using a cohort model in which students follow a predetermined schedule with classes meeting one night a week. Students in a cohort program model stay together as a group through the sequence of classes for the duration of the program. This provides a continuous, collaborative learning process. The cohort environment fosters a cohesive learning community where students learn from one another, mentor each other, and develop their own career development plan based on a series of self-assessments. You’ll share diverse professional expertise and experience as you work in teams on projects, case studies, presentations, and Harvard Business Review simulations, both inside and outside of class. Working both individually and in small groups enables you to enhance your strengths, build your skills, expand your business acumen, and improve your decision-making. Together as a community, you’ll build personal, social, and academic abilities. MBA students bring a wealth of work and personal life experiences with them into the classroom, multiplying the opportunities for learning. The personal connections and relationships you build with fellow students and faculty will extend into an important and valuable network as you take your career to new levels. Credit for Prior Learning Up to nine credits (three courses) may be waived through prior business coursework that is comparable to the course curriculum and from an accredited business school (with director/faculty approval) or certain professional credentials (with appropriate documentation). Consult the MBA program office for details. Students who have passed the Certified Public Accountants (CPA) or Certified Management Accountants (CMA) exam may be waived from MBA 520, Accounting for Managers. Students with prior academic coursework that meets the following criteria may be waived from eligible core courses. ● Course(s) must be taken at an approved, regionally-accredited institution. ● Acceptance of core course waivers implies the student accepts the responsibility for having the essential knowledge and understanding of the core course material, and is properly prepared for any future core or elective course for which the waived course was a prerequisite. Academic credit is not awarded for any waived course, nor will the course appear on academic transcripts. Academic Calendar The Augsburg MBA is a year-round program. Courses are offered during fall, spring, and summer semesters. Courses are offered consecutively during each term so students are able to concentrate on one subject at a time. The program is designed to have students take at least two courses per term. Official academic calendars and the MBA registration policies can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. The unique cohort model of the Augsburg MBA requires individual schedules for each cohort. These schedules are provided by the MBA department. The Faculty-Led International Experience Each year, all current MBA students are offered the opportunity to participate in a faculty-led international experience. This trip is taken in conjunction with either MBA 565 - Managing in a Global Environment or MBA 595 - Strategic Management. Students will travel as a group to an international location, visit businesses, participate in faculty lectures, and learn about the culture and traditions of the countries visited. Each MBA student will have two opportunities during their matriculation in the program to participate. Costs can vary; but as a minimum, trips normally include tuition (for the course selected), lodging, and travel in-country, as well as some meals. Program Requirements The Augsburg MBA requires 42 semester credits for degree completion. Augsburg MBA courses are three semester credits each. Each three semester credit course consists of 28-32 hours of in-class instruction and 5 ½ - 9 ½ hours of online instruction per week through a web-based electronic course management system. 74 A total of 14 courses are required for the Augsburg MBA.

Academic Evaluation The grading scale used for the evaluation of academic performance in the MBA program is an A-F scale. For complete information on grading and evaluation, see Academic Programs and Policies. Withdrawal from Class For information regarding the last date on which students may withdraw from a class and receive a “W” on their records, refer to the academic calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Attendance Policies Student attendance at scheduled class meetings is a priority and required. However, MBA faculty understand that MBA students are working adults with significant responsibilities who, on occasion, face unforeseen situations that may interfere with attendance. Students should notify the faculty member teaching the course as soon as possible. When the student knows in advance of a class date where a potential conflict exists, they must discuss the proposed missed class with the faculty member prior to the date of the class. Students are responsible for the work covered during that class session and for making appropriate arrangements for obtaining handouts, lecture content, or other materials. Faculty members may assign appropriate independent work to insure that the student understands the material covered during the class session. If appropriate and acceptable coordination is carried out by the student, there need not be any grade reduction for a single missed class session. This may be dependent on assignments due on the date of the missed class; e.g., final project presentations or team presentations. Point/grade reductions for unexcused absences are the prerogative of the faculty. Two missed class sessions, excused or unexcused, may be grounds for directing the student to withdraw from the course. More than two absences, excused or unexcused, require that a student withdraw from the class. Degree Requirements To be conferred the MBA degree, students must achieve the following: ● ● ● Passing score on all modules of MBA math (http://mbamath.com/). MBA math contains modules in accounting, economics, finance, statistics, and spreadsheets (unless waived by the MBA Director) Successful completion of MBA courses with a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher at the completion of the program No more than two courses with a grade of B77 MBA Faculty Jeanne M.

Students receive individual attention from accomplished and forward-thinking faculty who help them prepare themselves for the future of creative writing. Program Overview The MFA at Augsburg University is designed to accommodate writers who work full-time, live outside of Minnesota, or simply desire the flexibility of a low-residency experience. This two-year program offers one-on-one work with mentors throughout the year, features an annual ten-day summer residency, and provides the opportunity to join a lifelong community of writers. Genres ● ● ● ● ● Creative Nonfiction Fiction Playwriting Poetry Screenwriting Concentrations ● ● Teaching Publishing Features ● ● ● ● ● Two-year program Annual summer residency Online classrooms One-on-one mentor work Student to mentor ratio of 5:1 Summer Residency Begin the program with a ten-day summer residency in the Twin Cities, participating in daily workshops, readings, and mini-courses that focus on literary craft as well as career skills in teaching, editing, publishing, book arts, and advertising. The program includes three summer residencies. Fall and Spring Semesters Online The first and second residencies are each followed by two off-campus semesters of work with faculty mentors in virtual classrooms that make use of online and other technologies. Each semester, MFA candidates enroll in a Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading course, during which a faculty mentor guides the student’s production of work and study of craft. In addition, students enroll in a craft paper course during their third off-campus semester and a thesis course in the fourth. Cross-genre work is allowed and encouraged. Traditional Plan of Study Augsburg’s Traditional MFA in Creative Writing program can be completed in nine courses (46 credits) over two years by taking the three summer residencies, four long-distance mentorship and reading courses (fall and spring semesters), a craft paper course, and a thesis course. 79 ● ● ● First Year o Summer Residency I (6 credits), held for ten days on the Minneapolis campus, includes a workshop in the student’s declared genre, as well as readings and lectures. To earn credit for the residency, students must complete reading and writing assignments in the weeks before and after the residency (Summer Term 2). o Fall Semester I (6 credits), Mentorship and Creative and Critical Reading course. This work is conducted remotely, via computer, phone, and/or mail. Students work closely with their mentor and other writers in their declared genre. o Spring Semester I (6 credits), Mentorship and Creative and Critical Reading course — this time in a genre outside the student’s chosen area of specialization. This work is conducted remotely, via computer, phone, and/or mail. Second Year o Summer Residency II (6 credits), held for ten days on the Minneapolis campus, and including a workshop in the declared genre, as well as readings and lectures. To earn credit for the residency, students must complete reading and writing assignments in the weeks before and after the residency. o Fall Semester II, Mentorship and Creative and Critical Reading course (6 credits) and a Craft Paper course (2 credits) in which students complete a craft paper examining some aspect of writing. This work is conducted remotely, via computer, phone, and/or mail. o Spring Semester II, Mentorship and Creative and Critical Reading course (6 credits) and a Thesis course (2 credits) in which students complete their thesis. This work is conducted remotely, via computer, phone, and/or mail. Third Summer o Summer Residency III (6 credits), held for ten days on the Minneapolis campus, and including a workshop in the declared genre, as well as readings and lectures. Graduating students give a public craft talk and a reading from their thesis (students should prepare for this work during their second year). To earn credit for the residency, students must complete reading and writing assignments in the weeks before and after the residency. Optional Courses of Study ● Extended Study. Designed for students who wish to prolong their studies in a single genre, this option has students completing at least five mentored and reading semesters instead of the standard four. At least four of these semesters should be used to study the student’s declared genre. ● Mixed Genre. Designed for students who want to more deeply immerse themselves in a secondary genre, this option has students completing at least five mentored and reading semesters, including three in the student’s primary declared genre and at least two in a different genre. ● Post-MFA. Designed for students who already have an MFA, this option allows students to drop into the program for a single residency or semester of study — or longer. Students seeking this option should contact the program director, as the director’s approval is required. ● Career Concentration Option. Designed for students who wish to better prepare themselves for the job market, this option allows students to enroll in electives in teaching, and/or publishing. This work is usually completed alongside a traditional or extended/mixed genre course of study. The career concentration courses are also available as postMFA studies. Career concentrations includes: o Teaching Practice and Theory - The Concentration in Teaching is a one-semester program (4 credits) combining practical and theoretical pedagogy to better prepare students who intend to teach. Students work with accomplished writing faculty as they consider curriculum and syllabi development. Students gain teaching experience by completing an internship in the teaching of writing. Prerequisite: teaching practice and theory seminars during summer residencies. o Publishing: Howling Bird Press Book Prize - The Concentration in Publishing is a two-semester experience (8 credits total) designed to introduce students to various aspects of the trade, including acquisition, editing, graphic design production, marketing and distribution. Each year, students work with experienced faculty to select and publish the winner of the Augsburg Howling Bird national competition. During the second semester, students work as the staff and editors of Howling Bird Press; in exchange for this workload, students pay a registration fee rather than full tuition for the semester. Prerequisite: seminars in publishing during summer residencies. 80 Course Listing ENL 531 - Residency in Creative Writing: Fiction ENL 532 - Residency in Creative Writing: Nonfiction ENL 533 - Residency in Creative Writing: Poetry ENL 534 - Residency in Creative Writing: Screenwriting ENL 535 - Residency in Creative Writing: Playwriting ENL 536 - Residency in Creative Writing: Multi-Genre ENL 541 - Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading: Fiction ENL 542 - Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading: Nonfiction ENL 543 - Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading: Poetry ENL 544 - Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading: Screenwriting ENL 545 - Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading: Playwriting ENL 546 - Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading: Multi-Genre ENL 547 - Craft Paper: Fiction ENL 548 - Craft Paper: Nonfiction ENL 549 - Craft Paper: Poetry ENL 550 - Craft Paper: Screenwriting ENL 551 - Craft Paper: Playwriting ENL 552 - Craft Paper: Multi-Genre ENL 553 - Thesis: Fiction ENL 554 - Thesis: Nonfiction ENL 555 - Thesis: Poetry ENL 556 - Thesis: Screenwriting ENL 557 - Thesis: Playwriting ENL 558 - Thesis: Multi-Genre ENL 559 - Thesis ENL 560 - Craft Paper ENL 561 - Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading - Half-time: Fiction ENL 562 - Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading - Half-time: Nonfiction ENL 563 - Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading - Half-time: Poetry ENL 564 - Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading - Half-time: Screenwriting ENL 565 - Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading - Half-time: Playwriting ENL 566 - Mentorship and Critical and Creative Reading - Half-time: Multi-Genre Concentration Courses: ENL 525 - Teaching Writing: Practice and Theory ENL 527 - Publishing I ENL 528 - Publishing II For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.

To include a concentration in Teaching in the MFA, students must complete 10 courses or 50 credits. For the MFA with a concentration in Publishing, students must complete 11 courses or 54 credits. Transfer Augsburg’s low-residency MFA includes in-person and online elements that help us maintain a strong community and create a culture in which our writers thrive. This studio degree is the terminal degree in writing and because of the unique features of a terminal, low-residency, studio degree, the final decision on transfer credit will depend on review by the Augsburg University MFA Program. A maximum of eight semester credits from traditional residency MFA programs and from MA programs in creative writing or English literature may be accepted. The MFA Program Director will review and may offer up to four additional credits in transfer for equivalent residency or workshop experience completed in another program. The maximum transfer credits allowed is 12 credits. Academic Evaluation Grading The MFA Program uses fine arts studio grading practices, formative in nature and designed to be an element of the teaching curriculum. A narrative transcript composed of comments on those elements that the particular student writer is working on during a particular term will be used to assess progress in the mentorship courses. These are formative and qualitative assessment elements and professors’ responses will vary as professor/artists and student/artists approach student work with the student’s individual artistic aims in mind. In addition to the fine arts formative and qualitative assessment, students will be assessed in light of their success in meeting learning objectives of the course while completing work assigned. 82 MFA in Creative Writing Courses are graded on a Pass/No Credit basis, using the Augsburg graduate grading model scale as described below: P – Represents work at B or higher and meets acceptable standards. N – No credit, not counted in grade point average. Alignment of Course Outcomes MFA courses are aligned with the Program Hallmarks of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP), the national professional organization for writing programs and the writers who teach in those programs. Participation Students are expected to fully participate in Summer Residencies, attending workshop sessions and scheduled meetings with mentors as well as a majority of readings, lectures and other scheduled sessions. Participation in off-campus coursework is expected to occur during the designated time for each Mentorship studio critique session and “time away” for creative work. Students are also expected to take part in synchronous and asynchronous sessions with mentors and demonstrate “presence” in the Creative and Critical Reading courses through regularly scheduled exchanges with faculty and peers. Academic Honesty Augsburg’s high expectations for academic honesty will be applied to this class. Please refer to the Student Guide at inside.augsburg.edu/studentaffairs/studentguide/academic-honest-policies if you have any questions.

The second track is for individuals that hold a bachelor’s degree in music. They follow the Equivalency Plus Master of Music Therapy track (E+MMT). The third is for individuals that hold a bachelor’s degree that is not in music, but have a strong music background. They follow the Equivalency Plus+ Master of Music Therapy track (E++MMT). Thesis/Final Project As an institution, Augsburg University honors the decisions of individual departments regarding assessments associated with the awarding of degrees. Given the diversity of our graduate programs at Augsburg University and programs required to adhere to specific accreditation standards, graduate programs are required to develop a comprehensive review process that ensures the integrity and rigor necessary for degree completion and to meet accreditation standards. The comprehensive review (or "examination") in music therapy consists of an oral response to questions regarding course content that covers theory, research, and practice. This review is an aspect of the final oral exam that also includes the defense of the thesis. Thesis/Final Project Requirements The term thesis is used for the research and document required for the master's degree in many departments and programs. Students can opt to complete a thesis or a final project in the MMT program. The thesis and final project follow the same process outlined below. While the thesis includes a research component, the final project maintains the rigor of a thesis project, but does not include the formal research component. 87 1. Once the research topic has been chosen, the student must submit a project proposal: a written formal statement of the topic and plan of execution for the research. Your academic advisor will let the student know what form the proposal should take. 2. The composition of the committee that will supervise the project should be determined in collaboration with the student and academic advisor. The number of members needed on a project committee may vary depending on areas of expertise, but should include a minimum of three (thesis advisor and two reviewers). The academic advisor will provide final approval of the review committee and thesis topic. 3. Students will provide a 30-40-minute oral presentation of their thesis with their academic advisor, program director, and all reviewers present. Academic advisor, program director, and reviewers will ask questions of the student and then deliberate and vote when the student has been excused. 4. All committee members must approve the thesis. Students submit any final edits to the academic advisor that reviewers have required. When those have been received the final grade for the thesis will be submitted and the student will provide two bound copies of the thesis to the program director. MMT Program Comprehensive Review In the Master of Music Therapy program, the final integrating experience assesses the body of knowledge that has been acquired through a student’s coursework and research. No degree is granted simply as the record of the accumulation of appropriate courses with adequate grades. The form of the final requirement includes either a thesis or final project, but always includes an oral defense. In the oral defense, the examining committee discusses the thesis or final project, and assesses the student's mastery of the several components of the degree course work. Students will demonstrate evidence of their cumulative knowledge from their coursework and thesis/final project. This includes but is not limited to: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Theoretical foundations Assessment and evaluation Music therapy methods and method variations Cultural consideration Ethical considerations Evidence based practice Professional development Research methodology Admission to MMT ● ● ● ● ● ● Online Application Applicants must submit an official transcript(s) from the regionally-accredited institution granting the Bachelor’s degree, or an appropriately certified foreign institution, and from the most recently attended institution, if not the same. o Military veterans are required to submit all official transcripts from previously attended institutions to qualify for military benefits. o In the case where prerequisite requirements exist or transfer credits or waivers are sought, official transcripts are required from institutions at which the prerequisites or equivalents were completed. o The Program Director may ask for additional transcripts if determined to be necessary. 2 letters of recommendation (can be submitted online through the application-please have your recommenders email addresses when you begin the application).

Students are well educated in current medical theory and practice, and graduates are encouraged to work in primary care settings. The program promotes dedication to excellence in performance, with the highest standards of ethics and integrity, and commitment to lifelong personal and professional development. Accreditation At its June 2019 meeting, the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant Inc. (ARC-PA) placed the Augsburg University Physician Assistant Program sponsored by Augsburg University on AccreditationProbation until its next review in June 2021. Probation is a temporary status of accreditation conferred when a program does not meet the Standards and when the capability of the program to provide an acceptable educational experience for its students is threatened. Once placed on probation, programs that still fail to comply with accreditation requirements in a timely manner, as specified by the ARC-PA, may be scheduled for a focused site visit and/or risk having their accreditation withdrawn. Specific questions regarding the Program and its plans should be directed to the Program Director and/or the appropriate institutional official(s). Chair and Program Director Dr. Alicia Quella (phone: 612-330-1325, email: quella@augsburg.edu) Read the program’s response to the accreditation status. Curriculum The Physician Assistant program at Augsburg is approximately 27 months long with studies beginning each year in the summer semester. The program accepts up to 33 students for each new class. Graduates will receive a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies. Approximately 15 months of the program is didactic, or classroom work, including courses in human gross anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical medicine, pharmacotherapy, history and physical exam skills, research, and professional issues. In addition, clinical practice seminar is a small-group, case-based course that offers the unique opportunity to integrate and apply material from each of the courses to real-world patient cases. There are also hands-on activities that promote the development of practical skills through the use of simulated patients, technical skills workshops and labs. The clinical phase is completed in approximately 12 months. The clinical phase of the program is designed to effectively train students for practice by providing them with rotation experiences in different specialties and a variety of practice settings. To that end, each student will be required to complete rotations outside the metropolitan area. Each student will gain clinical experience in family medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, behavioral health, emergency medicine, internal medicine, surgery, and various specialties. The clinical phase will culminate with a preceptorship that is designed to solidify the student’s skills. Clinical instructors include Physicians, PAs and other health care providers. A student will be required to complete the clinical phase at site(s) determined by the Augsburg PA Program to provide the student with the best educational experience. Clinical rotation sites will be located throughout the state of MN, locations in the 5 state area, and potentially beyond. The Augsburg PA program includes time away from the program at varying times which may or may not differ from the traditional breaks at Augsburg University; these breaks contribute to the overall 27-month length of the program. 90 PA Program Sample Calendar YEAR 1 Summer PA 501 - Human Anatomy and Neuroanatomy PA 503 - Human Pathophysiology Fall PA 511 - History and Physical Exam Skills I PA 521 - Pharmacotherapy I PA 531 - Clinical Medicine I PA 542 - Professional Issues PA 546 - Clinical Practice Seminar I Spring PA 512 - History and Physical Exam Skills II PA 522 - Pharmacotherapy II PA 532 - Clinical Medicine II PA 547 - Clinical Practice Seminar II PA 555 - Research Tools for the Physician Assistant YEAR 2 Summer PA 533 - Clinical Medicine III PA 545 - Clinical Phase Transition Master’s Project course, one of the following*: PA 599 - Directed Study ML 577 - International Experience Fall PA 6XX - Clinical Rotations 1, 2, 3 Spring PA 6XX - Clinical Rotations 4, 5, 6 YEAR 3 Summer PA 6XX - Clinical Rotations 7, 8 PA 62X - Preceptorship PA 690 - Capstone *Other program-approved options may be available For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.

The social work profession offers you the rewarding prospect of joining with others to respond to problems and develop opportunities that benefit individuals, families, groups, and communities. The MSW degree prepares you for advanced professional practice in the field of social work. Augsburg’s MSW program prepares you for agency-based practice with individuals, families, groups, and communities, and with a dedication to system change that reduces oppression and discrimination. Graduates of our program share how they appreciated the opportunity to learn new ideas as well as learn more about themselves. These graduates valued our small class size, our cohort structure, and the opportunity to have a mentoring relationship with our faculty and staff. As a small program, we have high expectations for our students and at the same time offer the flexibility to help them meet their individual goals. Attending Augsburg University will transform and develop your professional life in unexpected ways. We have two concentrations. The first, Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP), will prepare you for direct clinical practice with individuals, families, and groups. The second, Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP), will prepare you for macro social work practice with organizations, communities, and other large systems. We are delighted in your interest in our MSW program and invite you to join us in a lifelong adventure in learning. The personal and professional growth necessary to become an advanced professional social worker is challenging. We encourage you to take the challenge with us. MSW Mission We strive to prepare exceptional social work professionals for anti-racist and anti-oppressive advanced social work practice that promotes intersectional racial and social justice in a diverse and global society. Program Overview The MSW program prepares social work students for agency-based practice in public and nonprofit settings. By working in the agency setting, social workers collaborate with others to provide holistic, affordable, and accessible services to individuals, families, groups, and communities. Our challenging MSW curriculum integrates social work theory with micro and macro practice methods. Students develop skills, knowledge, and values necessary for ethical social work practice. As you progress through our MSW program, you will: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Learn how individuals live in and are affected by their social environment Understand how social policies and programs affect individuals, families, communities, and society Apply theories and methods of practice through the field practicum experience Use a range of client-centered approaches to practice with client groups of all types and sizes Engage in practice informed by sound, scholarly research Evaluate the effectiveness of your social work practice or social work programs Advocate for the eradication of oppression and discrimination Be a responsible and contributing citizen in the local and global community Accreditation Augsburg’s MSW program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). Your MSW degree must be accredited by CSWE if you seek licensure with the social work board of your state. For more information on CSWE accreditation go to www.cswe.org. Augsburg University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the Accreditation, Approvals, and Memberships section of this catalog. 98 Plan of Study Students entering Augsburg’s MSW program with a bachelor’s degree from a discipline other than social work are classified as foundation students. Full-time foundation students are enrolled in a two year program. Part-time foundation students are enrolled in a four year program. Students entering Augsburg’s MSW program with a bachelor’s degree in social work from a CSWE (Council on Social Work Education) accredited institution are classified as advanced standing students. Full-time advanced standing students are enrolled in a 13 month program. Part-time advanced standing students are enrolled in a 25 month program. All students must complete the MSW degree in no more than 4 years following matriculation. Academic Calendar The MSW program meets on a semester calendar, with classes offered September through August. Classes typically meet every other weekend with an occasional back-to-back weekend. Field practicum hours are generally completed during weekday hours. If a student lives outside the Twin Cities metro area, the field practicum hours can be completed at a placement near the student’s place of residence. Hours per week vary depending on the agency placement and the student’s availability. For academic calendars and schedules, go to www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Class Periods Classes meet in 2-4 hour blocks on Friday evenings, 6 to 10:00 pm; Saturday mornings, 8:00 am to 12 pm; and Saturday afternoons, 1:00 to 5:00 pm. Each class meets on campus for 8 sessions in a given semester and for 4 sessions on campus in a summer term (May-June), with the expectation that students engage in hybrid online learning activities between on-campus class weekends. Time Commitment Although classes meet on weekends, students spend time on their studies during non-class weekends and weekdays in accordance with our hybrid learning format. Hybrid learning is a combination of face-to-face class sessions and online/experiential learning. On a class weekend, the typical student will spend 12 hours in class within a 23-hour period. For every hour spent in class, a student may expect to spend 3 to 4 hours outside of class working on online activities, assignments, readings, or group projects. A student may also spend 15 to 20 hours per week in the field practicum during the fall and spring semesters (a span of 8 to 9 months for each practicum). In the final year of study, students complete a summative evaluation or a portfolio, which requires significant independent research, analysis, and writing. Some MSW students work full-time while enrolled in the program. However, full-time employment is not recommended. Most students arrange to reduce their work hours or request time away during their graduate studies. Each student’s situation is unique and must be decided individually. All students must develop strategies for balancing family, work, and academic responsibilities. Credit and Contact Hours MSW courses range from 2 to 4 semester credits. Depending on the number of credits, students will spend 16 to 32 hours in the classroom per course. Students will also be expected to engage in activities and independent study outside of class. Cohort Structure MSW students are admitted to a particular cohort. Cohorts are distinguished by level of admission (foundation or advanced standing), rate of attendance (full-time or part-time), and chosen concentration (Multicultural Clinical Practice [MCCP] or Multicultural Macro Practice [MCMP]). Any changes to a student’s cohort selection must be approved by the MSW director. 99 Field Practicum Foundation students complete 920 hours in two field practica; advanced standing students complete 500 hours in one field practicum. Successful completion of the first field practicum, required for foundation students, is a minimum of 420 hours. Successful completion of the second field practicum, required for both foundation and advanced standing students, is a minimum of 500 hours. Each practicum experience is spread over two semesters (fall and spring). These hours are completed concurrent with enrollment in the fieldwork seminars as well as other MSW courses. MSW Curriculum Components Foundation Curriculum In the foundation courses and field practicum, students are introduced to social work as a profession. Students learn both historical and contemporary theories and practice methods relating to both the individual and the environment. During the foundation year, students study human behavior and the social environment, history of social welfare policy, research methods, assessment frameworks, family and community diversity, and social work values and ethics. In the foundation curriculum students apply this generalist knowledge of theories and practice methods in the generalist field practicum. The field practicum is completed concurrently with enrollment in two field seminar courses. The full foundation curriculum is required of all students, with the exception of those admitted with advanced standing. Before beginning the concentration curriculum, all foundation coursework and field hours must be successfully completed. Concentration Curriculum After completing the foundation requirements, students enroll in the concentration curriculum that they selected at the time their application to the program. Students also complete an advanced field practicum. Augsburg offers two concentrations: Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) or Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP). In either concentration, students deepen their knowledge of the primary issues affecting families and communities, develop a range of clientcentered approaches to practice, gain a broader understanding of human diversity, develop competencies in practicebased research, and learn practice or program evaluation techniques. In the concentration curriculum, students apply this advanced knowledge of theories and practice methods in the concentration field practicum. The field practicum is relevant to their chosen concentration and is completed concurrently with enrollment in two field seminar courses. As a capstone to the MSW program, students complete a portfolio project or a summative evaluation project. Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) Concentration Multiculturalism is a process requiring practitioners to have a deep awareness of their social and cultural identities, as well as the ability to use multiple lenses when working with diverse populations. With person-in-environment as an organizing perspective, multicultural clinical social work practice addresses the biopsychosocial and spiritual functioning of individuals, families, and groups. To this end, graduates of the MCCP concentration develop competence in using relationship-based, culturally informed, and theoretically grounded interventions with persons facing challenges, disabilities, or impairments, including emotional, behavioral, and mental disorders. Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) Concentration In the tradition of Jane Addams, macro social work practice directs energy toward changing agency, government, and institutional policies that obscure or oppress people. Social work leaders must advocate for social change where necessary to ensure social justice within the context of cultural understanding and awareness. The Multicultural Macro Practice concentration responds to this demand for leadership. The macro social work practitioner recognizes the strengths and abilities of individuals and communities to implement change. The social work macro practitioner works with these individuals to do so. In the MCMP concentration, students learn the knowledge and skills necessary to work with others to achieve needed social change. They also learn to develop, lead, guide, and administer programs that serve diverse people in a variety of settings. 100 Portfolio or Summative Evaluation Project ● Portfolio Project (MCCP students) ● The goal of the MCCP Portfolio is to enhance the integration of theory and practice, as well as to offer more vivid portrayals of a student’s academic and professional experience than traditional assessments. By definition, portfolios are formative (i.e., designed for guided reflection and self-evaluation). However they are also summative documents in that they illustrate students’ competencies. All MCCP students are required to create a portfolio during their final year of study. Items in a portfolio might include videos, process recordings, reflective statements, writing samples, case analyses, term papers, electronic submissions, policy activities, feedback from service users, self-evaluations of personal progress, and links to references. ● Summative Evaluation Project (MCMP students) ● All social workers must evaluate their practice to determine whether they are helping or harming clients. While in the concentration practicum, MCMP students will design and implement a program evaluation for their summative project. This project requires integration and application of knowledge and skills from both the foundation and concentration curricula. Students develop their research while in their field internship and are advised by their field seminar professor. Students conduct and present this evaluation/research project during their final year of study. Master’s Thesis Students in both concentrations have the option of completing a thesis in addition to either the portfolio or summative evaluation project. Credit for the SWK 699 general elective is given for this option. Students work with a thesis advisor to develop more in-depth research skills contributing to social work knowledge. To pursue the thesis option, students should notify the MSW program director by the end of spring semester of the foundation year. Degree requirements To be conferred the MSW degree, students must achieve the following: ● ● ● ● ● ● Successful completion of any admission conditions (see Admission to MSW) Successful completion of all required MSW courses No more than two courses with a B- grade and with a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher Successful completion of 920 hours of approved field practica for foundation students or 500 hours of approved field practicum for advanced standing students Successful completion and submission of the portfolio project (MCCP) or the summative evaluation project (MCMP) Successful completion of all degree requirements within 4 years of matriculation. State of Minnesota Social Work Licensure Six months prior to completion of the MSW degree at Augsburg, students may apply to take the Licensed Graduate Social Worker (LGSW) license exam from the Minnesota Board of Social Work. To achieve LGSW licensure students must pass the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) master’s level national social work licensure examination and complete the MSW degree. To seek the Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) license or the Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) license, one must work two years full-time (or 4,000 hours part-time) as an LGSW under the supervision of an LISW or LICSW, depending on the desired licensure. Upon completion of the supervision requirement, one may take the LISW or LICSW’s Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) national social work licensure examination. For the LICSW, there are additional requirements for 360 clinical clock hours in 6 specific categories. For more information, go to the Minnesota Board of Social Work web page, www.socialwork.state.mn.us.

Through the field experience, we expect that students will demonstrate skills to bridge theory and practice. Collaborative efforts between the student, the field agency, and the MSW program are essential to successful learning. The foundation of the practice includes: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Ethical, competent professional practice Problem solving within a systems framework and strengths perspective Use of advanced practice theories in Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) or Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) settings Evaluation of the effectiveness of program or practice activities An understanding of and respect for diverse peoples and cultures Responsibility and service to the local and global community in the interest of social justice A commitment to oppose oppression of all forms Field Education Format Under the instruction and supervision of professionally-trained, MSW-level, and program-approved field instructors, foundation students will spend a minimum of 920 hours in two field practica. Advanced standing students will spend a minimum of 500 hours in one field practicum. Both the foundation and concentration practica are spread over 2 semesters (fall and spring). Both practica are concurrent with enrollment in integrative field seminars, as well as other MSW coursework. The fieldwork education of the MSW program is divided into two components: ● ● ● ● Foundation Practicum The foundation practicum, or generalist practicum, puts emphasis on developing competence as a professional generalist social worker. It requires a minimum of 420 hours and is completed by students admitted at the foundation level. Students spend an average of 15 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters in this practicum. Concentration Practicum The concentration practicum places emphasis on advanced practice skills and leadership qualities related to the chosen concentration. It requires a minimum of 500 hours and is completed by all students, including those admitted with advanced standing. Students spend an average of 18 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters in this practicum. Process for Field Practicum Selection Field practica begin in the fall, but the selection process begins the previous spring in collaboration with two other Twin Cities MSW programs. Students attend a field orientation before beginning their search. Augsburg University and the University of Minnesota - School of Social Work jointly host a field fair where students meet a large number of agencies and potential field instructors. Practicum selection involves interviews at approved sites, arranged by the student, and a matching process conducted collaboratively by the field coordinators at three of the MSW programs in the Twin Cities. 103 In some instances, students can petition to complete a field practicum at an agency not on the approved list or at their place of employment. Students who wish to do so work with the MSW field coordinator for such proposals. Field Practicum Settings The Augsburg field faculty are committed to the success of each student in a stimulating and challenging field practicum. Dual Degree in Social Work and Business Administration (MSW/MBA) Augsburg University offers a dual MSW/MBA degree in social work and business administration. Students enrolled in the dual degree program learn to create better managed and financially sound service organizations to serve diverse communities, both locally and globally. Purpose Many social service agencies today require that agency managers combine financial and business expertise with social work practice and policy formation. The MSW/MBA dual degree prepares graduates to function in a workplace that demands the delivery of quality services with increasingly limited resources. Concentration The MSW/MBA dual degree includes an accelerated third year of study for MSW students who elect the Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) concentration. In this concentration, students learn to effect positive change in social service systems through their work with communities, organizations, and social policy makers. Prior Augsburg MSW graduates who have completed the necessary Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) coursework are eligible to return to complete the MBA portion of the dual degree. The MSW degree must be completed before the MBA portion of the dual degree. Schedule Years 1 and 2 (September through June) MSW classes meet on alternating weekends—Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, and Saturday afternoons—and students engage in hybrid learning activities between class weekends. Year 3 (12–16 months) MBA classes meet one night per week. The MBA program includes a summer term. See the MBA section for required courses for the dual degree. Curriculum ● Foundation or advanced standing coursework ● Either 920 hours (foundation) or 500 hours (advanced standing) MSW field practicum experience ● The MSW summative evaluation project may be accepted by the MBA program as partial fulfillment of the MBA project. ● Complete a minimum of ten MBA courses after completion of the MSW degree. ● For more information regarding the MBA coursework required for the MSW/MBA dual degree, see the MBA section. MBA Admission MSW/MBA dual degree applicants may apply to both programs at the same time or admitted MSW students may wait to apply to the MBA program until their concentration year. The GMAT is waived for MSW/MBA dual degree applicants. However, all MSW students are required to complete the MBA math modules and achieve a score of 80% or higher before they begin the quantitative courses for the MBA program. Students must meet all admission criteria for the MBA program. Admission to one program does not guarantee admission to the other. 104 MSW/LADC License The Augsburg University MSW program offers a pathway to qualify for the Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counseling credential while studying in the MSW program. Purpose The intent of MCCP MSW/LADC credential is to expand the workforce qualified to work with clients who have substance abuse issues and/or co-occurring disorders. Additionally, offering this credential will expand the capabilities and qualifications of our MSW graduates. Adding the LADC requirements and certification to the regular plan of study in the MCCP/MSW program provides opportunities for dually licensed social workers (LICSW/LADC) to engage in the practice of alcohol and drug counseling (as per Minnesota state law) in addition to their ability to conduct diagnostic assessments, individual, family and group treatment once they are appropriately licensed. Plan of Study The coursework required for the LADC credential includes the required coursework for the MCCP (Multicultural Clinical Practice) concentration. In addition, there are 4 courses and 1 additional fieldwork experience required. The four additional required courses are: SWK 518, Foundation of Addictions; SWK 519, Motivational Interviewing; SWK 699, General Elective – Co-Occurring Disorders; and SWK 622, MCCP Field Seminar 5. There are 380 additional field internship hours required in addition to the 500 required for MSW Concentration Field Practicum for a total of 880 internship hours. Content in the LADC pathway covers the 10 core functions required of an LADC training plus the 880 field practicum hours. For further information about the requirements for the LADC credential, please refer to the MN Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy.

Pribbenow, PhD President 2 About Augsburg University At Augsburg University, we believe that the university experience should be a time of exploration, of discovery, of new experiences, and of new possibilities. We also believe that a liberal arts education is the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, creatively solve problems, and communicate effectively. Discovering Your Gifts and Talents The heart of an Augsburg undergraduate education is the Augsburg Core Curriculum—designed to prepare students to become informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders—and thus achieve the educational goals of our mission. 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 – their vocation. 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 locations in the heart of thriving metropolitan areas, 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 and Rochester, Minnesota are extended campuses for Augsburg students. Mission Statement Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the university motto, “Education for Service,” and mission: Augsburg University 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. Campus Location Augsburg University is located in the heart of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. The campus is bordered by Riverside Avenue and Interstate 94, near the University of Minnesota West Bank campus and the University of Minnesota Medical Center. Downtown Minneapolis is just minutes away, providing access to internships and careers with some of the country’s leading companies, as well as entertainment, arts, sports venues, shopping, dining, and transportation. The campus is blocks from Metro Transit Green and Blue light rail lines, which provide easy access to destinations in Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport. History A College of the Church Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879. Early Leaders Established a Direction 3 August Weenaas was Augsburg’s first president (1869-76). 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 businessperson. 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 150 years. Education for Service Keeping the vision of the democratic college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second president (1876-1907), required students to gain pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg’s motto, “Education for Service.” In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary. The Focus Changed Traditional attitudes began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup Jr. became president. He worked to develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of longtime dean of women, Gerda Mortensen. The college’s mission assumed a double character: ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (193862). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life. After World War II, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the college had become a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention. Accreditation for the College Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college program based on general education requirements and elective majors. Full accreditation of the college was achieved in 1954. A study in 1962 defined the college’s mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963, when the Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. Subsequently, the American Lutheran Church merged with two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to form today’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. A College in the City Under the leadership of President Oscar A. Anderson (1963-80), Augsburg became a vital and integral part of the city of Minneapolis. The College began to reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all students. Also in these years, Augsburg added Charles S. Anderson Music Hall, Mortensen Residence Hall, Urness Tower, Christensen Center, Ice Arena, and Murphy Place. Charles S. Anderson led the college next (1980-97). 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, the Oscar Anderson Residence Hall, and the James G. Lindell Library. 4 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. Augsburg’s Rochester learning site was added in 2002, further expanding Augsburg’s presence in key cities in the state of Minnesota. Paul C. Pribbenow became president in July 2006. Under his leadership, Augsburg aims to educate students of all ages— in the midst of a great city—to be faithful citizens of the world. Augsburg became Augsburg University on September 1, 2017. 5 Augsburg Today Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed: ● ● ● An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church. Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative, and successful citizens. The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg students. The vision of the university’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 numerous master’s degree programs as well as doctoral programs in nursing practice and clinical psychology. For information about graduate programs, visit augsburg.edu/grad. Undergraduate and graduate education is offered in a variety of formats. In addition to its Minneapolis campus, Augsburg has a learning site in Rochester, Minnesota, and international locations around the world. Centers of Commitment The four centers of commitment articulate core values that inform the institutional mission of Augsburg University both internally and externally. These centers are: ● ● ● ● Center for Global Education and Experience Sabo Center for Democracy and Citizenship Christensen Center for Vocation Strommen Center for Meaningful Work Each center provides a bridge between curriculum and community; each works to realize the university’s strategic intention to "educate for lives of meaning and purpose," as well as to ensure the university is "at the table" with community partners in relationships of mutual benefit that enhance the university’s distinctive identity and deepen the educational experiences of our students. Their themes are reflected in Augsburg's mission: informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. Minneapolis-Based Day Program Augsburg’s Minneapolis-based day program offers more than 50 majors—or students can create their own major, either on campus or through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities. The day program provides an educational opportunity for students who want to earn a bachelor’s degree through courses that meet during the day. Students in the day program pay comprehensive tuition that allows them to register for 12 to 19 semester credits per term. ACTC is a fivecollege consortium that allows day program students to take courses on other campuses without additional charge while a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC consortium includes Augsburg University, St. Catherine University, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas. (See Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities section). Adult Undergraduate Program Augsburg’s adult undergraduate program provides an educational opportunity for adults who want to earn a bachelor’s degree with a flexible schedule and with a learning environment that acknowledges the real life experience adult students bring to the classroom. It is a means by which students can gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts and professional studies. 6 Minneapolis – Adult Undergraduate Program Augsburg’s adult undergraduate program is designed to help students finish a bachelor’s degree quickly and efficiently, in as little as two years. Delivered in a hybrid-learning format, it combines the benefits of face-to-face classroom instruction with the convenience of online learning. Augsburg also offers courses from several day program majors during the evening in a traditional classroom setting. Not all of the required courses for the day program majors are offered in the evening. For a complete list of degree completion programs offered in the adult undergraduate program, visit augsburg.edu/pro/majors. Rochester – Adult Undergraduate Program Augsburg’s instructional site in Rochester, Minnesota, was established in 1998 as a natural extension of the institution’s mission and its expertise in teaching working adults. A variety of undergraduate majors are offered. Rochester is a city that enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior technological resources. The Rochester site classrooms and offices are located at Bethel Lutheran Church (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America), a few blocks south of the heart of the city, which is home to more than 100,000 residents. Bethel Lutheran Church is located at 810 3rd Ave SE, Rochester, MN, 55904. In Rochester, students complete the same degree requirements as students in the Minneapolis undergraduate program. Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a semester schedule with classes taking place on weekday evenings, making them accessible to working adults. As with the adult undergraduate program in Minneapolis, Rochester classes are delivered in a hybrid-learning format, combining the benefits of face-to-face classroom instruction with the convenience of online learning. There are eight majors offered in Rochester, some of which must be completed by taking courses at the Minneapolis campus. In addition to the degree programs that can be completed entirely in this location, students may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of Rochester- and Minneapolis-based evening courses. Students at the Rochester site are Augsburg University students. They are supported through an array of e-learning resources ranging from Lindell Library databases to the use of online course management software.

This evaluation should include the following: ● ● ● ● Course-by-course evaluation to show a complete course listing with credit values and grades received for each course Calculation of grade point average to demonstrate the cumulative grade point average using the standard US grading system, i.e., A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0 Translation to English (if applicable) Analysis of credentials (if applicable) The evaluation report must be sent directly to Augsburg’s Office of Admission. Preferred evaluation services are World Education Services (www.wes.org) or Educational Credential Evaluators (www.ece.org), though Augsburg will accept evaluations from any member of the National Association of Credential Evaluators (www.naces.org). 17 Financing Your Education The Board of Regents approves the costs for the academic year. The board reviews costs annually and makes changes as required. Augsburg reserves the right to adjust charges should economic conditions necessitate. Full-Time vs. Half-Time Students will need to be enrolled in 6 credits to be considered half-time and 12-19 credits to be considered full-time. This is an important distinction for charges and for accessing financial aid. Day Program Tuition and Fees Tuition and fees are published online at augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/tuition/undergraduate-day. Fees (full-time enrollment) The standard program fees are the Student Activity Fee, Technology Fee, Newspaper Readership Fee, and the Campus Greening Fee.

All associated costs must be paid by the beginning of each semester to avoid accruing finance charges, unless you have enrolled in an official payment plan through Student Financial Services. Fees Specific courses or programs may have additional fees associated with them, such as lab or supply fees. ● ● Adult Undergraduate - Minneapolis Adult Undergraduate - Rochester $426.00 per credit $426.00 per credit 18 $1,704.00 per 4.0 credits $1,704.00 per 4.0 credits Payments Semester Charges Prior to the start of each semester, a statement of estimated charges showing charges and financial aid credits designated by the Student Financial Services Office is sent to the student via e-mail. All statements are available online through AugNet’s Records and Registration site. Payments can be made online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/header-make-paymentaccount-activity/payments. Augsburg may charge late fees and interest on delinquent accounts. Review the full policy regarding past due balances online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/disclosure. Payment Options Augsburg University offers payment plan options for all students. Information about payment plans is available online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts. Payment Policy Students at Augsburg University are obligated to pay Term Fees and additional charges when they register for each academic term. “Term Fees” include tuition, room and board charges and other fees initiated during your time as a student. Students are responsible to pay for all of these charges regardless of whether financial aid is received or employers or other third parties pay as agreed. “Term Fees” are subject to refund only to the extent allowed under the Augsburg University Tuition Refund Policy. Augsburg accepts the following forms of payment: Cash Students and guest payers may make cash payments in-person at the Enrollment Center. Cash should never be mailed. Students will receive a receipt of their cash payment. Check Students and guest payers may pay their term fees via check either in-person at the Enrollment Center, through mail, or online using e-check/ACH. A $30 NSF Fee will be added for any payment returned by the bank for Non-Sufficient Funds. A receipt will automatically be sent electronically for any online payments. Students who pay in-person or through mail may request a receipt of the check payment. Credit Card/Debit Card Students and guest payers may make student account payments online with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express credit card. As of June 10th, 2016, Augsburg will no longer accept credit card or debit card payments in-person, over the phone, or through the mail. Credit cards will only be accepted online via Cashnet, a vendor contracted by Augsburg. Because Cashnet charges Augsburg for their services, a credit card service fee of 2.75 percent will be associated with any credit card payment made to the university. This is to offset the approximately $250,000 in costs that Augsburg accrues annually for providing credit card payment options to our students. Augsburg will not receive any part of the service fee and will not be profiting from it. Financial Aid All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must reapply each year. In addition to reapplying for aid, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the attainment of their degree or certificate as stipulated in the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) section of this catalog. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work opportunities. The university cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. 19 The primary responsibility for financing a university education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid supplements student and family resources. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational expenses, retirement needs, and special considerations. Types of Aid A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a specific scholarship or grant (except as noted). Augsburg may offer both merit-based and need-based financial aid to undergraduate students at the time of admission. First year students can find specific information at www.augsburg.edu/firstyear/scholarships. Transfer students can find information at www.augsburg.edu/transfer/financial-aid-and-scholarships. Augsburg will also determine students’ eligibility to receive financial aid grants from both federal and state entities. These grants include Minnesota State Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Pell Grant, Federal TEACH Grant, and Bureau of Indian Affairs/Tribal and State Indian Scholarship. Contact Student Financial Services if you need additional information about any of these programs. In addition to aid administered by Augsburg University, students are urged to investigate the possibility of scholarships and grants that might be available in their own communities. It is worthwhile to check with churches, the company or business employing parents or spouses, high schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid available to students who meet their requirements. In addition to these sources, some students are eligible for aid through Rehabilitation Services, Educational Assistance for Veterans, and Educational Assistance for Veterans’ Children, and other sources. Loan Assistance Students must be enrolled at least half-time (6 or more credits) to be eligible for any federal loans. ● ● Federal Direct Student Loan o Subsidized Direct 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. o For the Unsubsidized Direct 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). Federal Parent Loan Program (PLUS) o PLUS is a loan program to help parents meet university costs of their dependent children. Parents may borrow up to the cost of attendance (minus all other student financial aid). Repayment begins within 60 days of final disbursement. Further information about all student and parent loan programs can be found at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/loans. Student Employment Students are able to apply for work study positions through Augsburg’s Human Resources Office. Part-time work provided by the university is considered financial aid, just like scholarships, loans, and grants. Students are limited to a maximum of 20 hours of on-campus employment per week. The number of hours a student can work is dependent on the position and the needs of the department. However, work is not guaranteed. All on-campus work is governed by policies stipulated in the work contract issued to the student employee for each placement. Payment is made bi-weekly by check to the student employee. ● Federal College Work Study Program and Minnesota State Work Study Program o Under these programs, the federal or state government supplies funds on a matching basis with the university to provide part-time work opportunities. 20 Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Federal regulations require that all higher education institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether students receiving financial aid are making satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of a degree. The purpose of this policy is to make sure that students who receive financial aid are using this money wisely. It is meant to curtail the use of financial aid by students who fail to successfully complete their course work. Failure to meet the following standards makes a student ineligible for all institutional, federal, and state financial aid. Augsburg’s Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy follows the Satisfactory Academic Policy. Student Account Financial Disclosure Students at Augsburg University are obligated to pay Term Fees and additional charges when they register for each academic term. “Term Fees” include tuition, room and board charges and other fees initiated during their time as a student. Students are responsible to pay for all of these charges regardless of whether financial aid is received or employers or other third parties pay as agreed. “Term Fees” are subject to refund only to the extent allowed under the Augsburg University Tuition Refund Policy. Statements and account history are available online through AugNet Records and Registration. Augsburg University may require someone to co-sign on the student’s obligations in special cases, such as when a student has a history of late or missed payments. When a co-signer’s signature is required, both students and co-signers are responsible for payment of all costs incurred (including collection costs and fees of any collection agency and/or attorney, if applicable) and all other conditions outlined on the Student Account Financial Disclosure. Results of Balances Not Paid in Full Augsburg may charge late fees and interest on delinquent accounts. Missed or late payments will be subject to a late payment charge and/or a finance charge on the overdue balance from the date the balance was due until payment in full is received. If your account is not paid in full on the first day of the term, finance charges at the rate of 8% per year (.67% per month) will be added onto your student account balance. For example, this means that for every $1,000 owed you will receive $6.70 a month in finance charges. A $30 NSF Fee will be added for any payment returned by the bank for Non-Sufficient Funds. Past Due Accounts If the student does not set up a formal payment plan with Augsburg’s Student Financial Services department, Augsburg reserves the right to demand payment of the entire balance owed by that student and to take steps to collect it. Augsburg may cancel the student’s registration, prevent the student from registering for future terms, withhold transcripts or diplomas, remove the student from on-campus housing, turn the student’s account over to a collection agency, or take legal action to collect any past due balance. Each student authorizes Augsburg to release financial information about her or his account and other pertinent information such as address and phone number to third parties who are dealing with the collection of the account balance. By providing us with a telephone number for a cellular phone or other wireless device, you are expressly consenting to receive communications – including but not limited to prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an automatic telephone dialing system – from us and our affiliates and agents at that number. This express consent applies to each such telephone number that you provide to us now or in the future and permits such calls regardless of their purpose. Calls and messages may incur access fees from your cellular provider. Each student also agrees to reimburse Augsburg University, or its agents, the fees of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 40% of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, we incur in such collection efforts. Please note that, due to the Bankruptcy Reform Act, educational benefits are generally exempt from discharge under bankruptcy. The terms of this agreement remain in effect until all Term Fees and other charges are paid in full. Tuition Refund Students are eligible for a 100% tuition refund for any courses they drop without notation through the date labeled “Last day to drop without a ‘W’ grade & 100% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. After this date, 21 students are no longer eligible for any refund of tuition unless they withdraw from all of their courses. This policy is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. Students withdrawing from all of a term’s courses may receive a 50% tuition refund when they withdraw by the date labeled “Last day to withdraw with 50% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. Students are responsible for cancelling courses through the Registrar’s Office (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. Medical Refund If a student is forced to withdraw from one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, a request for a medical refund should be made through the Academic/Financial Petition. Petition forms are available through the Registrar’s Office website. An extra medical refund may be granted by the Committee upon submission of documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances. 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 university 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 the university. 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 Office website. Financial Aid Policy Financial aid such as federal, state, and institutional grants and scholarships are awarded based upon the total number of registered credits on the “Last day to add with faculty signature – Full Semester class” as noted on the Academic Calendar. Students must register for internships, Time 2 classes, and ACTC classes before the “Last day to add with faculty signature-Full Semester class.” Financial aid will not be adjusted for classes added after this date. Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester by actively attending and participating in classes throughout the semester. Financial aid is recalculated when students do any of the following: drop classes without a “W” grade, fail to begin classes, cease to attend classes, fail all classes, or fully withdraw from all classes. Financial Aid – Return of Title IV Funds Policy Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester. A student can earn their aid by attending classes. Augsburg must always return any unearned Title IV funds it is responsible for returning within 45 days of the date the school determined the student withdrew. The withdrawal date used in the return to title IV calculation of a student’s federal financial aid is the actual date indicated on the official withdraw record. If a student stops attending classes without notifying the university, the withdrawal date will be the last date of academic activity determined by the university. Federal/State Aid Adjustments Augsburg is required to return unearned federal/state aid for students who fully withdraw from their courses. The Return to Title IV calculation is based on the total number of days in the semester compared to the total number of days that a student attended classes before the last date of attendance. If the student receives more aid than they ‘earned’, then the ‘unearned portion’ of the student’s aid must be returned to the U.S. Department of Education. After 60% of the term has passed, students are eligible to keep all of their federal/state aid. If you are planning to completely withdraw from your courses, please see a Student Financial Services counselor to determine what aid may need to be returned. 22 Financial aid will be returned to the aid program from which it came. If returned to a loan program, your outstanding balance will be reduced by the amount of the return. Aid will be returned in the following order: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Unsubsidized Direct Loan Subsidized Direct Loan Direct PLUS Loans Federal Pell Grants Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) TEACH Grant Institutional Aid Adjustments Augsburg will return institutional aid for students who partially withdraw or fully withdraw from courses. If students withdraw from their courses, they will receive a 50% tuition refund and 50% of their institutional aid will be removed. If a student withdraws after the last day to receive a tuition refund, there will be no adjustment to their institutional aid. Post-Withdrawal Disbursement If a student earned more aid than was disbursed to him/her, the student may be eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement. Augsburg’s financial aid office will notify the student in writing if he/she is eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement of Title IV loan funds. A student or parent borrower must first confirm in writing whether he/she accepts/declines all or some of the loan funds offered as a post-withdrawal disbursement. A post-withdrawal disbursement of Federal grant funds does not require student acceptance or approval. The university will seek the student’s authorization to use a post-withdrawal disbursement for all other educationally related charges in addition to tuition and fees. Credit Refund Augsburg students may be eligible to receive a credit refund if their financial aid exceeds tuition and fee charges for a term. Credit refunds are issued within two weeks after the last day to drop courses without recorded notation. Financial aid needs to be finalized and applied to a student’s account before the credit refund can be issued. (You can verify your financial aid status online through Track Your Financial Aid. You can check your transaction history online to verify that all of your financial aid has been applied to your account and nothing is left pending.) Changes in enrollment status, housing status, and program status may affect financial aid eligibility and credit refunds. Students who are enrolled less than half-time (less than 6.0 credits for undergraduates; less than 3.0 credits for graduates) may not be eligible for financial aid; however, students may apply for private alternative loans. Registration changes made from the first week of the term through midterm may require a return of financial aid funds. Students who drop courses may receive a tuition refund, but some forms of financial aid may have to be adjusted before a refund will be available. Financial aid return of funds may take up to 45 days to be processed. Bookstore Students who are registered for the upcoming term will be allowed to charge up to $750 to their student account. Students do not need to request a bookstore account. Please plan ahead and purchase books and supplies before the scheduled cut-off dates. Plan ahead for courses that start midterm as you will be unable to charge anything to your student account after the cut-off date. Students’ accounts will be billed for only what was spent on their bookstore accounts before credit refunds were issued. If your bookstore charges create a balance on your account, you need to make payments in accordance with your statement. Bookstore purchases charged to a student account are intended for students who have excess financial aid funds to cover their tuition, fees, AND their books or supplies. Please contact Student Financial Services before you purchase books if you need to discuss payment options. Due to the financial aid cycle, you can only charge expenses to your bookstore account during specific times. 23 Third Party If you are expecting a third party to cover the cost of your books, you will need to turn in an itemized receipt of your purchases to the Student Financial Services Office, along with your invoice request. Additional Funds If the cost of your textbooks and supplies are above $750 in one term, you have enough financial aid to cover the additional costs, and you would like to charge the additional amount to your student account, please send the following information to Student Financial Services (studentfinances@augsburg.edu). All requests need to be in writing. Subject: Request for Additional Funds Full Name: Student ID number: Additional request: Students will receive an e-mail when the additional request has been processed. Accounts are opened as quickly as possible, but it could take up to two business days for activation. Consumer Information Loss of Financial Aid Eligibility Due to a Drug Offense A student convicted of a state or federal offense involving the possession or sale of an illegal drug that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid is not eligible for Title IV funds. [An illegal drug is a controlled substance as defined by the Controlled Substance Act and does not include alcohol and tobacco.] A borrower’s eligibility is based on the student’s self-certification on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Convictions that are reversed, set aside or removed from the student’s record, or a determination arising from a juvenile court proceeding do not affect eligibility and do not need to be reported by the student. A student who is convicted of a drug-related offense that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid loses Title IV eligibility as follows: For the possession of illegal drugs First offense: one year from the date of conviction Second offense: two years from the date of the second conviction Third offense: indefinitely from the date of the third conviction For the sale of illegal drugs First offense: two years from the date of conviction Second offense: indefinitely from the date of the second conviction A school must provide a student who loses Title IV eligibility due to a drug-related conviction with a timely, separate, clear, and conspicuous written notice. The notice must advise the student of his or her loss of Title IV eligibility and the ways in which the student may regain that eligibility. Regaining Eligibility after a Drug Conviction A student may regain eligibility at any time by completing an approved drug rehabilitation program and by informing the school that he or she has done so. A student regains Title IV eligibility on the date he or she successfully completes the program. A drug rehabilitation program is considered approved for these purposes if it includes at least two unannounced drug tests and meets one of the following criteria: ● ● The program received or is qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly under a federal, state, or local government program. The program is administered or recognized by a federal, state, or local government agency or court. 24 ● ● The program received or is qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a federally or state licensed insurance company. The program administered or recognized by a federally or state-licensed hospital, health clinic, or medical doctor. Policies may change throughout an academic year if necessary to comply with federal, state, or institutional changes or regulations. 25 Residence Life Students who choose to make Augsburg their home find a friendly, 23-acre village in the midst of a major metropolitan area. They make many new friends among roommates and classmates. They are just steps away from Lindell Library, classrooms, Hoversten Chapel, the ice arena, fitness center, and Christensen Center. With just over 1,000 students living on campus, most students and faculty greet each other by name. Augsburg recognizes the importance of the residential experience during the college years. Studies show that students who live on campus are more likely to persist academically, to be involved on campus, and tend to have a higher grade point average. Residence Life staff are professional and student team members available to support students in their academic and co-curricular experiences. Through their efforts residential community members become acquainted with life at Augsburg through educational and social opportunities. Living on campus offers many opportunities for learning, leadership, and fun. Numerous events are planned to welcome students to the community, including dances, movie nights, open mic nights, and weeks devoted to special themes or issues. Resident students have access to a 24-hour computer lounge, wireless internet, study lounges, 24-hour security, laundry facilities, and vending. All rooms and apartments are equipped with cable and internet access.

Whether students take classes in the day or evening, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to their education. There are over 50 student organizations that students can join, and students may also create their own with three additional peers. For more information, visit Augsburg.edu/campuslife.

Augsburg advocates for and develops an environment where people are encouraged to discover and share their gifts for the sake of the world. As a university of the church, we emphasize the development of this through attending to the sacred, living into radical hospitality, and shaping community. The University Pastors, Muslim Student Program Associate, and campus ministry staff have offices in Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, vocational discernment or information.

LEAD Fellows In Fall of 2008 Augsburg University launched its first year of the Bonner Leaders Program, which is now called LEAD Fellows (Leaders for Equity, Action, and Democracy). Through the LEAD program, students have paid positions in community based organizations and community serving programs. Those selected to be LEAD Fellows are students with diverse racial, ethnic and geographical backgrounds and experience in community and public work. Through placements with partner nonprofit organizations and community programs, students work an average of 220 hours each academic year supporting ELL classrooms, running an employment education computer lab, coordinating a low-income housing program, community health outreach, tutoring in afterschool programs, and more. Beyond their work-study placements, students participate in civic engagement efforts on and off campus. Campus Kitchen Campus Kitchen connects the campus community with the larger neighborhood by using food as a tool to nourish bodies, develop leadership, and educate students through service learning. To accomplish these goals, four programs focus on this engagement: ● Food to Share o Meals served and grocery bags distributed by student employees, volunteers, and service learners to youth programs, seniors, and community centers. Most of the meals are created with the surplus food from 30 ● ● Augsburg’s dining services, and some prepared from scratch. Grocery bags and other food distributions are sourced mostly from Twin Cities Food Justice and Loaves and Fishes. Food to Grow o The Augsburg Community Garden provides plots for neighbors, organizations, and Augsburg community members to grow their own food. Communal plots are open for anyone to harvest from, and excess produce is incorporated into the meal program. Food to Know o Understanding our food system and community health through programs that educate on issues of hunger and poverty, and cooking and gardening classes in the community and on campus. Participants learn about the connections between food, health, and the environment; and develop cooking and gardening skills. Environmental Stewardship Living out an intentional commitment to responsibly nurture all aspects of sustainability – environmental, economic, and social – on our campus, in our neighboring community, and among our institutional partners, the Sabo Center hosts a team of paid student interns who work alongside the Sustainability Officer to make positive environmental changes in our practices, facilities, curriculum, and campus culture. Public Achievement The Public Achievement organizing model is a framework for people to learn to work strategically with others so they can solve problems and build sustainable democratic societies. Participants form teams to take action on a public problem that is important to them, and work with a coach to develop an action plan. Through practice and reflection, the team members develop public skills and confidence. Community Service-Learning and Engagement Augsburg’s Community Service-Learning Program provides students with opportunities to understand and respond to social issues through course-embedded service experiences and civic engagement activities. A key component of community service-learning is reflection on and analysis of community issues in order to promote personal and educational growth and civic responsibility. By connecting classroom content with service-learning experiences in the city, Augsburg students deepen their understanding of abstract course concepts while learning about pertinent and related community issues. Workshops The Sabo Center offers workshops and training sessions on topics related to civic, community, and political engagement. Workshops are open to students, staff, faculty, and community members. 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 may perform on regional, 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 Theater Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of on-campus workshops with visiting arts professionals. Student Center Christensen Center, the Augsburg student union, serves students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests. Traditionally considered the “living room” of the campus, the student union provides a central gathering place for the diverse populations of residential, commuter, Adult Undergraduate, and graduate students at Augsburg through the merging of curricular and co-curricular programs and activities. Christensen Center also houses several student services, such as the Admission Office, Campus Life, the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work, Multicultural Student Services, LGBTQIA+ Student Services, University Events, Center for Global Education and Experience, International Student and Scholar Services, the Copy Center, Shipping and Receiving, Dining Services, and Mail Services. 31 The Auggie’s Nest, located on the ground floor of Christensen Center, serves as the student organization office area and houses offices of the Augsburg Echo (campus newspaper) and KAUG (campus radio). Lockers are also available in this area for student organization use. Day Student Government The Augsburg Day Student Government supports and advocates for student concerns, needs, and activities. Day Student Government serves as the primary voice and liaison between Day students and the administration, faculty, and staff of Augsburg University. 32 Student Resources/Academic and Support Services Lindell Library Resources The James G.

Clair and Gladys Strommen Center for Meaningful Work Career & Internship Services The Career and Internship Services office is an integral component of the Clair and Gladys Strommen Center for Meaningful Work. Our staff is committed to helping students develop lifelong career management skills that honor each student’s unique gifts and aspirations, aligned with active citizenship in the world. The Career and Internship Services office plays an essential role in students’ overall education and includes a comprehensive resource center that emphasizes the importance and value for all students to engage in internships, career development, and the exploration of vocation throughout their university years. We help students and alumni: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Assess their values, interests, personality, strengths, and skills Explore meaningful work options and majors that align with these elements Link academic majors with career paths Consider the role that vocation plays in their lives Clarify their personal definition of meaningful work Build experience through volunteer and internship learning opportunities Prepare for the job search and/or graduate school Build lifelong career management skills to successfully navigate the changing job market Make a difference in our communities by contributing their unique gifts to the world Augsburg offers several opportunities for students to gain on-the-job and internship experience. Our faculty and staff have developed partnerships with community organizations and employers that provide learning opportunities to students, many of which fulfill the Augsburg Experience requirement for graduation. Internships ● ● Internships for Academic Credit o An internship for credit is a carefully planned, work- or service-based learning experience where a student focuses on specific learning objectives that connect concepts of the major to the experience. An academic internship is approved, supervised, and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the student wishes to earn the internship credit. Interdisciplinary (INS) internships are also available. A learning agreement plan, negotiated with the faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlines the academic objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods for receiving credit. Students complete internships in nonprofits, small and large businesses, government agencies, museums, arts organizations, schools and churches. o Internships for credit are available in all majors and can be taken during any semester. Students must be registered for their internship during the term in which they are completing the majority of their experience. Credit will not be awarded for past experiences. Internships can be registered for 2 or 4 semester credits. A two credit internship involves a minimum time commitment of, on average, 6 hours per week or 80 total hours for the semester. Internships for four credits require a minimum time commitment of, on average, 12 hours per week or 160 total hours for the semester. A maximum of 16 semester credits of internship may count toward the total credits required for the degree. Upper division internships completed off-campus for credit will automatically fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement. Non-credit internships o Internships related to a student’s major or career interests can be registered for a zero-credit internship (AUG EX3) to fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement. The goal is for students to apply theory to practice in a real world setting and reflect on the experience. Internship opportunities are typically part-time during the academic year and/or full-time during the summer, but may have flexible start dates and schedules. Students choosing to complete this option will register the internship during the term in 34 ● which they will be completing the experience, set learning goals, complete a minimum of 80 hours, and reflect on their experience. Staff of Career and Internship Services supervise non-credit internships and evaluate the reflection process. Work Connections (Available to AU students only) o Work Connections is a non-credit option available to AU students who are currently working full or parttime. The Work Connections option allows AU students to utilize their rich and often extensive work history to meet the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement in lieu of a traditional internship. AU students choosing to complete this option will register for the Work Connections course (AUG EX4) during the term in which they intend to complete their project and reflection work. This option requires students to write learning outcome goals that integrate their on-the-job experience with classroom learning and complete reflection assignments describing an academic and work connection. Staff of Career and Internship Services supervises and evaluates the Work Connections reflection process. Gage Center for Student Success The Gage Center assists all Augsburg students in setting and achieving optimal academic goals here at the university and beyond. The Gage Center is located on the Link Level of Lindell Library. The center consists of four collaborating units: Academic Advising The professional academic advisors in the Deidre Middleton Office of Academic Advising work directly with students in identifying academic interests and satisfying the curricular requirements. The office advises all new Day and Adult Undergraduate (AU) students with course selection and registration, and provides orientation to academic policies, procedures, and resources. In addition, Academic Advising administers placement tests, interprets graduation requirements, provides degree planning resources, assists students in filing their graduation paperwork, answers academic progress questions, and provides comprehensive academic support (e.g., training in time management, notetaking, reading, testing, motivation/procrastination, problem solving, troubleshooting). Academic advisors work with all new first-year students for the first year at Augsburg. At the end of the first year, students declare their major and are assigned to a faculty mentor in their major department, developing the facultystudent mentoring relationship. While all students are required to meet with their faculty mentor(s) each term prior to registration, students are encouraged to meet with their advisor(s) as often as necessary to support their academic progress. Students must declare their major(s) by the end of their sophomore year. Majors and minors are declared online in Augnet Records and Registration. Students confirm their majors and minors on an annual basis until the Intent to Graduate form is submitted. Auggie Achievers Program Each year, students are admitted to Augsburg as part of our Auggie Achievers Program. Auggie Achievers participate in one of several courses designed to develop and enhance important study habits and life skills needed to aid in academic success. In addition, the program helps students transition to college through one-on-one meetings with their academic advisor. Tutoring/Supplemental Instruction Services Academic Advising coordinates free tutoring (individual and group drop-in) for most classes and supplemental instruction in specific courses. Visit our website at augsburg.edu/advising for a list of available courses and/or to complete the Tutor Request Form. Response time varies based on tutor availability. You will receive an e-mail as soon as a tutor is available. Satisfactory Academic Progress Probation Students who do not meet the university’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards, will be placed on Probation or Suspension. Students on Probation are required to meet with their academic advisor and complete all necessary 35 requirements as outlined on the Academic Advising website at augsburg.edu/advising. A registration hold is placed on the student’s record, which will prevent registration until the necessary Probation requirements have been completed. Students who do not complete the requirements as needed, may be suspended. For more information see the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) section of this catalog. Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) The Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and support for students with documented learning disabilities, autism, ADHD, mental health conditions, traumatic brain injury, sensory and physical disabilities, as well as those with temporary disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, ensuring these students have equal access to Augsburg’s programs and services. Its mission reflects Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and challenging, yet supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds, abilities, preparations, and experiences. Each term, Disability Specialists work directly with students to develop a plan for equal access to Augsburg courses, programs, activities, and facilities. Students have the option to meet regularly with their specialist, and discussions may include: ● ● ● ● ● Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g., extended time, audio books) Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, student technology assistance, academic advising, counseling, financial aid) Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Accommodations Lab Coaching on academic, organizational, and time management skills Campus living accommodations The Disability Specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisors, and other members of the faculty, staff, or administration as they work to facilitate equal access for each student. Taking advantage of these accommodations and services, however, remains the student’s responsibility. Any Augsburg student who wants to establish eligibility for accommodations and services should schedule a meeting with a Specialist to discuss their needs. Academic accommodations are intended to ensure access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities and may not fundamentally alter the basic nature or essential components of Augsburg’s courses or programs. The services and technology provided by CLASS are enhanced by the generous support of the Gage, Groves, and Klas families.

The Christensen Center for Vocation works with students, faculty, and staff to explore how each person’s contributions can be uniquely valuable and how we might best live in freedom and responsibility for the sake of the world. The commitment to keep this understanding of vocation 38 central to Augsburg’s mission is carried out by embedding the exploration of vocation in the curriculum as well as through the Christensen Scholars program, internship and service opportunities, short term projects and public lectures. The Christensen Center for Vocation also works to deepen and extend Augsburg’s commitment to interfaith engagement. That commitment includes an Interfaith Scholars program, creating a campus culture in which people of diverse religious traditions have welcoming sacred spaces, convening conversations that respect and explore our differences while also engaging together in acts of service, peacemaking and working for justice. The Christensen Center for Vocation is committed to working with churches, diverse religious communities, nonprofit organizations and other schools of higher education as we live out Augsburg’s commitment to educate students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers and responsible leaders. StepUP® Program The StepUP program at Augsburg University strives to help students champion lives of recovery, achieve academic success, and thrive in a residential community of accountability and support. The culture of StepUP is shaped by its core elements: abstinence-based recovery models, mutual support groups, peer-to-peer recovery support, and other proven pathways to healthy recovery - along with the residential component of the program. Our holistic approach to recovery focuses around students developing healthy minds, bodies, spirits, and emotions. Students live in on-campus recovery housing, have individual support meetings with licensed alcohol and drug counseling staff as well as mental health staff, and participate in community-building activities. Students have access to campus support services in order to ensure their educational success. Participation in StepUP offers students leadership opportunities within the program, on campus, and in the greater Twin Cities community. Our students give back through leadership and service and thrive in an alcohol- and drug-free environment. In StepUP, students join together to form a community in which recovery is celebrated as a normal part of personal growth. Many of the friendships and bonds that students form while participating in the program last a lifetime. In order to qualify for the program, students must be committed to a 12-step or other proven, abstinence-based recovery program, have a minimum of six months of continuous sobriety, agree to abide by the StepUP student agreement, and live in StepUP housing.

Pan-Afrikan Center Pan-Afrikan Center at Augsburg University promotes programs that support the personal, social and academic success of students of African descent. Our programs focus on exploring Black identity, education, advocacy, and community building. We strive to develop leaders that will contribute to social progress, democracy, and create sustainable changes in our communities. The Pan-Afrikan Center (PAC) traces its roots to the 1968 event, “One Day in May” when Augsburg students compelled faculty and staff to respond to Civil Rights era challenges pro-actively through sit-ins and teach-ins held on and off campus. As a result, Black Student Affairs was born. It has evolved over the years into the PAC. Today, the PAC is primarily a resource center, providing culturally-conscious personal, academic, financial, pre-professional, and transitional support for students of African descent. This serves to enhance the recruitment, retention, and graduation of our students and facilitates a more meaningful learning experience. The PAC brings the knowledge and experience of Afrikan people in the Diaspora to the community through a variety of programming as well through advising the PanAfrikan Student Union. The Pan-Afrikan Student Union (PASU) is a commissioned organization whose purpose is to enable students of African descent to share their diversity and collectively express their fellowship with the Augsburg community. PASU sponsors a variety of social, intellectual, and cultural activities.

Through counseling, students can name personal strengths and challenges, identify self-care and support resources, learn new relationship and coping skills, and increase awareness of values and choices. Counseling services to students include individual counseling, group counseling, assessment and referral to campus and mental health resources, educational workshops, and consultations in the case of concern for another student. Students bring many concerns to counseling, including stress, anxiety, depression, mood swings, relationship concerns, grief and loss, roommate issues, intimacy and sexuality, alcohol and other drug concerns, family issues, eating concerns, coming out and other sexual identity concerns, cultural identity, self-esteem, sleep difficulties, and other concerns. Professional counseling can help increase student academic success both by increasing the opportunity for increased self-understanding and personal growth, and by directly addressing potential barriers to academic success. CWC also offers health promotion activities and events to increase student awareness of health issues and support students in developing new behaviors for a healthier lifestyle, such as mindfulness events, stress management, and an annual Health Fair. Health promotion also includes an active group of peer health educators, Engaging Peers on Issues and Choices (EP!C) who are available to present an interactive alcohol education program to groups requesting the program. Health promotion also works with various campus organizations and student groups to foster positive change within the campus environment.

For students without health insurance, Smiley’s Clinic provides certain clinic health services with a minimal co-pay at the time of the visit. Emergency services of any kind are not covered through the contract between Augsburg and Smiley’s Clinic. Students with health insurance can also access Smiley’s Clinic for a variety of clinic or other health services. A student’s health insurance provider will be billed for medical services and the student will be responsible for any co-pays or deductibles associated with their insurance. For more information regarding counseling, health promotion, health insurance, or health clinic services, call 612-3301707 or visit www.augsburg.edu/cwc. Fitness Centers Located on the lower level of Kennedy Center and Melby Hall the fitness centers are equipped with stationary bicycles, stair steppers, treadmills, and other aerobic workout machines. They include a weight room with universal and free weight systems. All staff, students, and faculty may use the centers; some hours are reserved for classes. International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) ISSS is responsible for advising exchange students and degree-seeking international students. Members of the ISSS team serve as Designated School Officials (DSO) for the university’s F-1 student visa program and as Responsible Officer (RO) for the university’s J-1 student/scholar exchange program. A DSO ensures institutional and individual compliance with the law and government policies pertaining to F-1 students. The RO ensures institutional and individual compliance with the law and government policies pertaining to J-1 exchange students and scholars. ISSS advises students regarding the F and J regulations so that students maintain their immigration status while completing their academic programs. Examples of ISSS responsibilities include: 42 ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Advising students in all areas related to F and J immigration regulations Managing the recruitment, application, orientation, registration and advising for exchange students from our international partner schools Advocating on policy matters affecting international students Advising the International Student Organization Coordinating the International Student Mentor Program Providing intercultural competence training and mentoring for students, faculty and staff Implementing a mandatory international student orientation program each semester Making referrals and providing guidance on issues related to health insurance, taxes, banking, and acquiring a driver’s license, MN State ID or social security card Special Academic Programs Center for Global Education & Experience (CGEE) Study abroad and away (in the USA) at Augsburg aims to provide students the skills needed to be successful in today’s highly interconnected world. The university’s mission states, “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.” This strong commitment to a global perspective provides the foundation to include study abroad or away in every student’s degree program. Using an experiential education model that focuses learning on social justice issues, Augsburg’s own CGEE programs challenge students academically and personally to become “informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.” In addition to the following programs, students have over 200 programs in over 60 countries, including the United States, from which to choose in order to meet their curricular and personal needs. CGEE is the front door for students and faculty interested in study abroad and away, and provides advising on program options, finances, and academics. Services provided through CGEE: ● ● ● ● ● Study abroad and away program selection advising Financial and academic advising Pre-departure and re-entry support, including career integration Program coordination for semester and short-term programs Faculty resources to globalize courses at home and abroad In addition to the services and programs listed above, CGEE works with the entire campus to increase the breadth and depth of global and experiential education within the curriculum, in our campus life and to engage the community surrounding the campuses in the Twin Cities and Rochester, across the United States, and the world. Students can study a variety of disciplines in a wide variety of countries. For example, students have the opportunity to examine Environmental Sustainability in the USA, study social work and education in Mexico, study social change in Central America, carry out business simulations in Norway and Germany, intern with community organizations in Northern Ireland, do an internship in Namibia, do ecological field study in the Galapagos Islands, take organic chemistry in England, or gain fluency in a foreign language in many countries around the world. Programs vary in length from one week to a year abroad. In addition to the Augsburg CGEE programs (Augsburg shortterm faculty-led, Augsburg in Central America, Mexico, and Southern Africa, and Exchange programs), students can choose from Augsburg Affiliate Programs. Attend a virtual information session to learn how you can study abroad or study away in the USA.: studyabroad.augsburg.edu. 43 Augsburg in Central America, Mexico and Southern Africa The purpose of Augsburg’s CGEE programs in Central America, Mexico and Southern Africa is to provide transformative international and intercultural educational opportunities in order to foster critical analysis of local and global issues so that personal and systemic change takes place leading to a more just and sustainable world. Students on Augsburg’s signature programs experience three distinct types of living situations: living with other students in a community house, spending several days in a rural setting, and living several weeks with host families in urban settings. In the Southern Africa programs, students travel together on two-week seminars—Namibia to South Africa. Scholarships are available. Augsburg in Central America Peace, Justice, and Community Engagement (Guatemala, El Salvador, and Costa Rica) – Fall or Spring This is an intensive semester of study and regional travel designed to introduce students to the key issues facing Central Americans. Students will explore the history, culture, and struggles of the people of Central America in this provocative and inspiring experience that develops Spanish language skills while immersing participants in the lives of host families, urban and rural communities, and grassroots organizations dedicated to work on issues related to conflict, US foreign policy, gender, and economic and social justice. Students spend the first eight weeks of the program in Guatemala, travel to El Salvador for two-weeks, and spend the final six weeks in Costa Rica. See a full program description on the program website. Augsburg in Mexico Language and Culture in Mexico—Summer CGEE offers four, 3 1/2 week sessions (blocks) focusing on Spanish language and Mexican culture in which students can take one course per session, and take up to five courses throughout the summer. Students can complete their full Modern Language requirement in just 7 weeks. Students can also take Spanish (beginning to advanced, including Spanish for Healthcare Professionals, Heritage speakers, and Ministry). Seven-week Internships are available in a number of disciplines (e.g., business, communications, religion, and more). This community-based program includes homestays, a trip to Mexico City, the pyramids of Teotihuacan, optional weekend excursions, and numerous guest speakers designed to help students learn about history, culture, and contemporary struggles for peace, justice, and human rights. See a full program description on the program website. Medical Spanish and Clinical Observership in Mexico – Summer With a growing Spanish-speaking population in the United States, there is a critical need for our future medical professionals to understand the language in order to better serve their patients. With CGEE’s summer Medical Spanish and Clinical Observership program, students will focus on Spanish language and Mexican culture in a medical context. Students take a specialized language course, Spanish for Healthcare Professionals, taught by a bi-lingual Mexican Physician. In addition, we are able to place students in a Clinical Observership, for practical real-world experiences. See a full program description on the program website. Liberal Arts, Migration and Social Change– Fall and Spring In this experiential, community-based program, students will cross borders constructed by language, nationality, race and ethnicity, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic class, religion, politics, and economics. Students are immersed in various Mexican realities by meeting directly with people of diverse backgrounds, gaining essential skills for future academic and professional pursuits. This is an excellent program for those who also need to meet General Education Requirements. Students can satisfy general education requirements in Natural Sciences (with a lab), Social Science, Humanities, Recreational Wellness, and Language. There are also internships and independent study options available. See courses listed in the other Augsburg CGEE in Mexico fall and spring programs for specific enrollment options. See a full program description on the program website. Communication and Media Studies: Migration & Social Change in Mexico — Fall The mission of this program is to develop socially-conscious media professionals equipped for the challenges of modernday media, including responsible journalism on critical issues such as (im)migration and the environment. Through 44 hearing stories from those traditionally marginalized by society such as migrants, deportees, immigrant returnees from the U.S. and Canada, indigenous people, women, LGBTQ people, and low-income people, participants will engage deeply with critical issues facing the U.S. and Mexico and will learn to look through the intersectional lenses of people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Courses available in Communication Studies, New Media Studies, and Film. Practica and internships are also available, as well as courses fulfilling general education requirements. See a full program description on the program website. Student Teaching for ESL and Special Education —Spring Based at Augsburg's study center in Cuernavaca, Mexico, this program provides the opportunity for undergraduate and MAE students to complete part of their ESL student teaching hours in Mexican schools. See a full program description on the program website. Social Work in a Latin American Context—Spring This program was created to satisfy the curricular requirements for the Bachelor in Social Work degree program. Its goal is to develop cross-culturally competent, ethical social work professionals with a global perspective by providing a semester of transformative, experiential learning focused on social and economic justice. It includes Spanish language study and social work courses. Social work field experience is also available for qualified students. Students live with Mexican host families for six weeks. All students are expected to take SWK 294 as a core course. Other course offerings include SWK 295, SWK 316, a field placement in social work, and the choice of one Spanish course from 16 different options (including SPA/ART 231, which meet the LAF in Fine Arts). A Recreational Wellness course (Latin Dance) is also available. Prerequisites: Approval of the Social Work Department and one college-level Spanish course or the equivalent highly recommended. Students may choose to study Spanish in Mexico during the month of January prior to the start of the semester. See a full program description on the program website. Augsburg in Southern Africa Nation-Building and Decolonizing the Mind: Southern African Perspectives (Namibia and South Africa)—Fall or Spring This program examines the crucial issues of nation-building, globalization, and decolonizing the mind, from the perspectives of the new democracies in southern Africa. Namibia won its independence in 1990 after decades of apartheid under South African colonization. South Africa had its first democratic election in 1994. As these nations struggle to build nationhood and deal with the legacies of apartheid and colonialism, they are faced with the challenges posed by today’s world—rapid globalization as well as under- and unequal development. Decolonizing the mind is a long-term project. The program includes seminars in Johannesburg, Eastern Cape, and Cape Town, South Africa. Available courses are: HIS 327, POL 353, RLN 376, ENV 100 and POL 354. Internships are also available in eight different departments, and a Recreational Wellness course (Yoga) is also available. See a full program description on the program website. Exchange Programs The Center for Global Education & Experience partners with universities around the world to provide semester and academic year exchange opportunities to students. Currently, Augsburg has active exchanges in China, Greece, Hong Kong, Japan, Lebanon, Norway, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. Diverse disciplines are available and all coursework is in English, with the opportunity to study the host country language. Travel grants are available for these programs. For further information on these programs and scholarships visit the CGEE website. Short-term Faculty-led Programs Faculty-led programs in winter break, spring break, and summer offer opportunities to take a course abroad or elsewhere in the US with an Augsburg professor and other Augsburg students. Program travel length ranges from eight days to five weeks and offerings change annually. Scholarships are available for some programs. 45 Augsburg Affiliate Programs The Center for Global Education & Experience maintains a robust portfolio of affiliate programs to enhance the offcampus offerings available to Augsburg students. These programs allow Augsburg students to study in disciplines and locations that lie beyond CGEE’s signature, exchange and short-term faculty-led programs. A limited number of spaces are available on these programs. Therefore, we ask students to also choose an alternate program from the Augsburg CGEE and Exchange program portfolio. Application Process In order to Study Abroad or Away, students should follow these steps: ● ● ● ● Attend an information session (in person or online). Research programs . Discuss with others. Talk to faculty and staff advisors about how courses fit into your major or general requirements. Talk with Student Financial Services staff about payment options. Talk with family members and other staff on campus you work with (such as CLASS or TRiO advisors) Apply by the deadline. Application Deadlines October 1 - Spring semester and winter-break faculty-led programs November 1 - Spring-break faculty-led programs February 1 - Summer Session faculty-led programs March 1 - Fall semester and other summer programs Students applying to Affiliate programs must meet the Augsburg application deadlines above, but also complete the affiliate application. Affiliate program deadlines and eligibility requirements vary; students must meet all deadlines and eligibility requirements set by their programs. Academic Requirements and Credit Students automatically fulfill the Augsburg Experience requirement when they participate in approved study abroad and study away programs. Courses taken off-campus can also fulfill graduation requirements including major, minor, language, Liberal Arts Foundation, Recreational Wellness, Honors, and internship requirements. The application process includes a required Course Equivalency Form, where students list the courses they want to take on their program and obtain approvals by faculty mentor(s), a Registrar’s Office representative, department chairs or other assigned faculty to meet the course equivalencies. Credits, Grades and Residency ● ● ● ● ● Students studying off-campus for a semester/year must take a full load of credits. Students must take courses with traditional A-F grading (P/LP/N is not permitted). Grades received on affiliate and most exchange programs are reported as transfer credit on the transcript, and thus are not factored into the GPA. A grade of “C-” equivalent or higher must be received for the credit to transfer to Augsburg. Courses taken on off-campus programs during the senior year meet the Augsburg residency requirement since students remain enrolled at Augsburg while on their programs. Eligibility Following are Augsburg University’s requirements for Study Abroad and Away: ● ● ● Students must have a minimum 2.00 GPA at the time of application. Some programs/courses may require a higher GPA. Students must be at sophomore, junior, or senior standing when they participate in the program. Short-term, faculty-led programs may allow participation as a first-year if the student receives approval from the faculty-leader and if space allows. Transfer students must complete one semester at Augsburg before studying off campus. 46 ● ● Students must be in good academic and social standing. Students placed on academic or disciplinary probation after admittance to an off-campus study program may be withdrawn from the program. In that case, the student is responsible for all non-recoverable program costs incurred. Students must resolve any outstanding balances on student accounts before studying off campus. Note: Students applying to short-term faculty-led programs who meet the above criteria are accepted to these programs on a first come, first served basis. Space is limited, so early application is recommended. Costs and Financial Aid The cost of semester off-campus study experiences vary from program to program. Augsburg University pays program fees on the student’s behalf and then bills the Augsburg student account. This allows students to apply their regular financial aid to their off-campus study program costs. Program fees generally include tuition at Augsburg’s rate, housing, international health insurance, some meals, excursions, and off campus study fees. Expenses such as airfare, personal travel or souvenirs, books, and other expenses are not included in the price of semester programs. To assist students with good financial planning, the Study Abroad and Away team partners with Student Financial Services to create a cost estimate for each student considering a semester, academic year, or long summer program. Cost estimates include both program fees billed to a student account as well as out-of-pocket expenses. They also include an estimate of students' financial aid that can apply toward the program costs. Students should talk to the Study Abroad and Away team about additional scholarships that are available for semester and academic year programs. Students who receive financial aid, loans, scholarships, and/or grants to study at Augsburg can use that entire package to pay their off-campus study program costs. Institutionally-funded aid (e.g., President’s, Regents’, Legacy, Promise, and other Augsburg gift aid/scholarships, and tuition benefit) may be used to study off campus multiple times on Augsburg programs but only once for an Affiliate program. Be aware that certain restrictions apply. The program fee for short-term faculty-led programs typically includes tuition, meals, airfare, ground transportation, and interpretation/translation services. However, students on winter and spring-break programs pay no additional tuition beyond comprehensive spring semester tuition. These costs are on top of any semester/year tuition charges. Some scholarships are available, but are limited for short-term programs. Students may use loans to fund the additional cost of these programs. Students are required to attend the information session and read the advising handbook for any updates to scholarships and financial aid policies. Students are required to notify CGEE immediately if they choose to withdraw from their off-campus study experience after being accepted. When we receive notification, non-recoverable costs and a cancellation fee will be assessed and charged to the student account. Depending on when the notification of withdrawal is received, students may owe only the cancellation fee; or they may owe the off-campus study fee, the deposit, or a percentage or all of the program fee. Students are also subject to the cancellation and refund policies of their affiliate program provider, if applicable. Scholarships The Center for Global Education & Experience offers a range of scholarships and financial aid to students with demonstrated financial need and whose participation in a semester or summer academic program contributes to a community of co-learners that values a variety of cultures and backgrounds. ● ● ● CGEE Travel Grant. Augsburg students automatically receive a $1,500 CGEE Travel Grant on our Semester programs at our sites in Central America, Mexico and Namibia/Southern Africa, or a $1,000 CGEE Travel Grant on our exchange semester programs. The CGEE Inclusion & Access Scholarships are for students who have not traditionally been represented in study abroad, specifically students of color, students with disabilities, LGBTQIA students, veterans, first generation students, and those with financial need. Awards up to $2,000. Summer Discount: Students who participate in one or more sessions in Mexico will receive a $400 discount per course/session. 47 ● Global Affiliate Scholarships are also available. These scholarships generally ranging from $500-$5000 are provided directly through our affiliate partner programs. Accessibility CGEE and the Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) work closely with students with disabilities to assist them in ensuring that reasonable accommodations are made while studying off-campus. Nevertheless, students are responsible for requesting accommodations as far ahead of departure as possible, ideally as early as program selection. Some accommodations cannot be effectively arranged if requested on short notice. In addition, students should be prepared for the fact that disability is culturally defined differently around the world. Attitudes toward disability and levels of accessibility can vary greatly from country to country. The Americans with Disabilities Act mandates equal access to university-sponsored programs and services to students with disabilities. However, providing access by US standards can present unique challenges in international settings. The expectation on the part of US students and US institutions is that reasonable accommodations will be made. Depending on the country and culture, there may be different ways to define accessibility and different expectations in terms of accommodations that can or should be made. To start exploring accommodations for off-campus study, schedule an appointment with CLASS. Continuing Education Program The mission of Augsburg University's continuing education program is to provide working adults with lifelong learning opportunities that will enable them to continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually in their homes, workplaces, and communities. The program strives to meet the needs of the community by offering credit and noncredit programs consistent with the mission of Augsburg University. Programs are developed through collaborations between academic and administrative departments of the university and community organizations. These collaborations have included the Departments of Business, Biology, Education, Nursing, Religion, Social Work, the Center for Leadership Studies, Institutional Advancement, and organizations including Minneapolis and St. Paul public school districts, Minnesota Department of Education, and the Midwest Regional Office of the College Board. Augsburg University is a Lifelong Learning Partner with the ELCA. Honors Program The Augsburg Honors Program offers an adventurous education where students with a passion for ideas can be their best. We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education. Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike any other honors program in the nation because it gives students the resources and freedom to build their own ideal higher education. Students have the opportunity to create their own courses, edit and write for the Honors Review of Undergraduate Scholarship, belong to an Honors House, and learn through small reading groups, research projects, and travel around the world. Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students, and includes a challenging “signature experience” such as writing a play, putting great books on trial, or attending music, theater, and art performances. Honors courses bring in professors from several different departments so students can learn from talented professors teaching their specialties. For information, contact Maheen Zaman, Honors Program Director, at zamanm@augsburg.edu. Also see the Honors Program in the departmental pages of this catalog. Inter-Institutional Programs Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities area on several programs. 48 Cooperating Libraries in Consortium (CLIC) Through CLIC, the Twin Cities private college’s library consortium, the Augsburg community has direct access to more than 2.5 million volumes and media resources of the 14 libraries. Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) Full-time Day students at Augsburg University, Hamline University, Macalester College, St. Catherine University, and the University of St. Thomas may elect to take one course each semester (fall and spring) at one of the other campuses. No additional fee is required for such an exchange, except for private instruction in music or approved independent studies. Exchange courses are not transfer courses, and thus courses taken through ACTC are considered Augsburg University courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses for which an Augsburg student has cross-registered is kept in the Registrar’s Office at Augsburg University, not at the host ACTC institution. Students may elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain new perspectives, to get better acquainted with the other schools, or to undertake a specific course or major not offered on the home campus. AU/Rochester programs are not part of the ACTC consortium, and students in those programs may not register for ACTC courses or complete ACTC majors under the terms of the ACTC consortium agreements. Air Force ROTC AFROTC is a nationwide program that allows students to pursue commissions (become officers) in the United States Air Force (USAF) while simultaneously attending college. AFROTC classes are held on college campuses throughout the United States and Puerto Rico; students can register through normal course registration processes. AFROTC consists of four years of Aerospace Studies classes (Foundations of the USAF, Evolution of USAF and Space Power, Air Force Leadership Studies, and National Security Affairs/Preparation for Active Duty), and a corresponding Leadership Laboratory for each year (where students apply leadership skills, demonstrate command and effective communication, develop physical fitness, and practice military customs and courtesies). College students enrolled in the AFROTC program (known as “cadets”) who successfully complete both AFROTC training and college degree requirements will graduate and simultaneously commission as Second Lieutenants in the Active Duty Air Force. The AFROTC program is currently offered at University of St. Thomas, which has a crosstown agreement that allows Augsburg students to enroll in AFROTC and become full-fledged cadet participants. For more information on the AFROTC program, please review the St Thomas Air Force ROTC website or contact the Department of Aerospace Studies at the University of St. Thomas at (651) 962-6320. Army ROTC Augsburg Day students may participate in the Army ROTC program at the University of Minnesota under an agreement between Augsburg, the University of Minnesota, and the program. ROTC credits serve as electives at Augsburg. For more information, visit the University of Minnesota Army ROTC website. 49 Academic Policies and Procedures Registration Students must be officially registered for all courses for which they are participating. All registered courses will be reflected on a student’s AugNet Records and Registration page. Web registration through AugNet is the primary method of registration, although registration can be processed through the Registrar’s Office with a Registration Form in instances where online registration is not possible. Students are responsible for verifying the accuracy of their registrations. First-year students are required to meet with their academic advisor prior to registration for their first year. All other students are required to meet with their faculty mentor. As some courses are offered only in alternate years, students should also consult with departmental advisors when planning their academic program. Students with registration holds will be ineligible to register until the hold is cleared. The registration hold will appear as an alert on the student’s Records & Registration Welcome page. It will also be listed in an email that the student will receive several weeks before registration opens. Registration holds can be placed for a variety of reasons by a number of offices. Some examples of reasons are unsatisfied academic requirements, unpaid student balances, missing immunization forms, unmet financial aid requirements, and overdue library books. Another possible reason for a registration hold is an overdue missing official transcript from another institution. Typically, the "Transcript Not Received" hold is a result of an official transcript on file showing in-progress coursework. Such transcripts need to be replaced with an official, final transcript in order to verify that the in-progress courses were dropped, withdrawn from, and/or graded. Upon receipt, the updated, official transcript will be evaluated for possible credit. Specific registration dates and deadlines for each semester are listed in the Academic Calendar. Students who are missing prerequisites for a course may be eligible for a prerequisite waiver if, after discussion with the course instructor, the instructor determines that the prerequisite learning objectives have been met. Students who believe they have already completed the prerequisite in question should contact the Registrar’s Office at 612-330-1036 or registrar@augsburg.edu. The following registrations cannot be completed online and must be processed with a Registration Form: ● ● ● ● ● THP courses (Theater practicum courses) 100-level MUP courses (Variable-credit music lessons) Independent Study and Directed Study (Independent Study form available on the Registrar’s Office webpage) Internships (Internship Registration form available on the Registrar’s Office webpage) ACTC courses (Course listings are available online through each ACTC institution and should be checked to verify the correct meeting times and room assignment.) Credit Loads Full-time day students normally register for 16 credits each semester. Students in the AU/Rochester programs typically register for 4-8 credits each semester. Students registered for 12 or more credits in a semester are classified as full-time students. Students registered for at least 6 credits are classified as half-time students. To register for more than 19 semester credits, students must petition the Student Standing Committee unless the following apply: Students with a cumulative GPA at Augsburg of 3.00 or greater may take a total of 20 semester credits without petitioning; students with a cumulative GPA at Augsburg of 3.50 or greater may take a total of 22 semester credits without petitioning. All overload registrations must be done through a Registration Form. (Note: For students in the Day program there is an additional tuition charge for course loads over 19 semester credits. This includes combining the credit load from both the DAY and AU programs. Auditing classes over the 19 semester credit limit will also incur a tuition charge.) 50 Non-Attendance/Non-Participation Policy Attendance/participation in class is important for academic success and financial aid. Therefore, students are dropped for non-attendance/non-participation after the 10th business day of the term if reported by the instructor and billed a Failure to Withdraw Fee of up to $300. Students are ultimately responsible for dropping classes if they no longer plan to attend/participate. Students who have been dropped and wish to re-enroll must submit an Academic/Financial Petition. Internship Registration A complete step-by-step guide is available on the Strommen Center website under the Internships & Augsburg Experience section. International students completing an internship will follow steps outlined on the Strommen Center website under the International Student Internship Registration section. Registration of internships for credit consists of the following steps: ● ● Students must register the internship for the academic term that coincides with the internship experience. Complete the online Internship Site Agreement form and the Internship Registration Form found on the Strommen Center website under the Internships & Augsburg Experience section. The following signatures must be secured prior to the start of your internship. o Faculty Signature: If registering your internship for academic credit you will need to find a faculty member willing to supervise and approve the internship based on major discipline requirements. o Department Chair Signature: Requires approval that the proposed internship experience meets the major discipline requirements. o Strommen Center Signature: Requires staff to review important university-wide internship information and ensure all required documents have been submitted. Once the completed internship registration form is submitted to the Enrollment Center, additional requirements to receive credit for an internship include: ● ● ● Watch a short video about successful internships on the Strommen Center website under the Internship Registration Guide section. Complete the Learning Goals Form on the Strommen Center website under the Internships & Augsburg Experience Requirements section. Copies of the completed form are emailed to the student, their faculty supervisor, and the Strommen Center. Academic assignments (journals, reflection papers, projects, etc.) as determined by the faculty supervisor and/or department guidelines. Final evaluations are sent at the end of the semester. The student and the site supervisor will each complete an evaluation of the student’s internship experience. Results are emailed to the student and the faculty supervisor. Dropping or Withdrawing Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or with a Registration Form. For drop and withdrawal deadlines see the Academic Calendar. Crossover Registration Undergraduate students are enrolled in a home program (DAY, AU, ROCH) and may register online for fall and spring semester courses outside of their home program based on course availability and subject to the restrictions listed below. Students have registration priority in their home program. Students are charged the tuition rate of their home program for crossover courses. DAY Program Students - Juniors and Seniors (based on earned credits) are permitted to crossover into AU courses without special permission. - Pay the overload fee for any credits over 19 in their combined DAY/AU load each semester. AU Program Students - Are permitted to crossover into DAY courses. 51 ROCH Program Students - Are permitted to register for AU courses as soon as their registration windows open and do not have to wait until Crossover Registration begins. Graduate Courses Students must have completed an undergraduate degree and be admitted to a graduate program before taking graduate level courses from that program. Exceptions are made for approved courses in the Department of Nursing, the joint BA Accounting/MAL program, the Master of Business Administration, and the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. Undergraduate students enrolled in graduate courses will pay their standard undergraduate rate for those courses. Any student enrolled in an Augsburg graduate level program wishing to take an undergraduate course will pay their program's graduate rate for those courses. Evaluation and Grading Evaluation of academic performance is based on letter grades using an A ‐ F scale. Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation. Most courses are offered with grading options—traditional grading on an A - F scale or the Pass/Low Pass/No Pass grading system. Explanation of grades: Grade A AB+ Grade Points 4.00 3.67 3.33 B 3.00 BC+ 2.67 2.33 C 2.00 Description Excellent Undergraduate: Good Graduate: Satisfactory Undergraduate: Satisfactory Graduate: Unsatisfactory C1.67 D+ 1.33 D 1.00 Poor D0.67 F 0.00 Failure P 0.00 Pass* LP 0.00 Low Pass** N 0.00 No Pass *The letter grade equivalent of a P grade is a C- / 1.67 or higher for undergraduate courses and a B / 3.0 or higher for graduate courses. **The letter grade equivalent of an LP grade is a D-, D, or D+ for undergraduate courses. It is not used for graduate courses. Pass/Low Pass/No Pass Grades Students who choose the P/LP/N option are cautioned: ● ● In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of C-. An LP grade requires achievement of at least a D-. Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a C. 52 ● ● The maximum number of semester credits with P or LP grades that may be applied to graduation is 24 semester credits. Students may apply no more than eight semester credits with P or LP grades toward a major and no more than four semester credits with a P or LP grade toward a minor unless otherwise specified by an academic department. Departments with major or minor programs that allow a different number of P-graded credits have defined those limitations along with their major and minor requirements in the catalog. Certain courses have restrictions and are offered on one grading system only (e.g., lifetime wellness courses are graded only P/LP/N). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate they wish to use the P/LP/N grading option. Students may submit a request to change a grade to P, LP, or N by the deadline published in the Academic Calendar. Course instructors will not be notified of the request. The Registrar's Office will manually change the earned letter grade to P, LP or N after final grades are posted. Incomplete (I) Grades Incomplete grades (I) are to be given only in the case of extreme emergency (e.g. illness, family emergency, death in the family, military commitment). Faculty must submit the grade that the student has earned at the end of the semester, even if the student has requested an incomplete. Once an Application for Incomplete Grade has been received and approved by the Registrar’s Office, the grade will automatically be replaced with an I grade. At the end of the time allotted for the incomplete, which is determined by the faculty member in consultation with the student but must not exceed the time period described below, faculty must send an email to registrar@augsburg.edu to indicate the grade the student earned. If no grade is sent by the incomplete deadline, the I grade will be converted to the previously entered grade. To receive an incomplete, a student must be making satisfactory progress in the course and have completed 60% (or more) of the course requirements at the time the petition is filed. Incompletes are granted at the instructor's discretion. If granted, the deadline for completion of the work is no more than eight weeks after the last day of classes in the session in which the course is offered. The instructor may extend the due date beyond the eight weeks if the student requests an extension and special circumstances warrant the extension. The application for an incomplete must be signed by the student, the faculty member, and department chair. (Email approvals are considered the equivalent of a signature.) In rare or extraordinary circumstances, the dean may approve a longer extension. Extension (X) Grades Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one semester. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the semester of registration. A grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructor and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the semester in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of F will be assigned. Withdrawal (W) Grade A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a W grade and before the last day to withdraw. Withdrawals negatively impact credit completion rate but do not negatively impact the grade point average. Repeated Courses A course in which a grade of F, FN, D-, D, D+, C-, or N has been received may be repeated for credit, including topics courses with the same course number. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited (exceptions are made for academic programs with minimum grade requirements of a C+ or higher or other catalog policies that require a course to be retaken). All courses taken each semester and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. 53 A course may only be repeated at Augsburg University one time. A student who wishes to repeat a course more than one time must petition the Student Standing Committee. If approved to take a course more than twice, a student will not receive financial aid for a course that has been previously passed twice. If a course is retaken, the highest grade earned for the course will be counted in the grade point average and for graduation purposes. All attempts will, however, remain on the student’s transcript. Auditing Courses Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V) on a space-available basis. Full-time Day students will be charged an audit fee if their total credit load is over 19 credits. The charge to audit a course is $1,000 for part-time DAY/AU/ROCH students. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript with a V grade. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Audited courses do not count toward graduation and do not fulfill general education requirements. Grade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other institutions. The formula for calculating the GPA is as follows: GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted with A to F grades assigned. The following grading symbols are not included in the GPA calculation: Symbol Explanation Fall 2017 to Present: Pass, C- or higher undergraduate or B or higher graduate work; P Prior to Fall 2017: Pass, 2.0 or higher undergraduate or 3.0 or higher graduate work LP Low Pass, D-, D, or D+ achievement (undergraduate courses only) S Satisfactory N No pass, no credit V Audit, no credit W Withdrawn I Incomplete X Extension, incomplete IP In progress R Repeat GRT Credit granted Required lab component (a credit-bearing grade was earned in the corresponding L lecture course) NG Not graded, no credit Assessment of Student Learning The faculty at Augsburg University is actively engaged in research about student learning and the efficacy of the curriculum. To support such assessment of student learning activities, faculty may collect student work for evaluation beyond grading. Any information or student work collected will be treated confidentially; the student's identity will not be public information. Students who do not want their work collected for assessment purposes can opt out by contacting Office of Academic Affairs. 54 Classification Students are classified when grades are posted at the end of each semester. Classification is based on the number of semester credits completed/earned. Classification First Year Sophomore Junior Senior Completed Semester Credits 0 – 27.99 28 – 59.99 60 – 91.99 92 or more Academic Status Changes Change of Program Students may apply to change their “home program” by completing a Change of Program form. Applications are reviewed by a committee. If approved, the change will take effect for the following semester. Changes are limited to once each academic year. A Change of Program form must be submitted before the semester begins. Withdrawal from University Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this will result in failing grades on their official academic record. If necessary, students should instead submit a Withdrawal from University form. The deadline to file a Withdrawal from University is the last Friday prior to finals week. Withdrawal from University and any consequential adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the Withdrawal from University form is submitted to the Registrar’s Office. Students must be submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll. Students are responsible for keeping the Registrar’s Office informed of their current mailing address while away. Leave of Absence (DAY Program Students) Students in the Day Program may apply for a Leave of Absence for one semester. The Leave of Absence allows continued access to Augsburg email and AugNet Services. If a student on a Leave of Absence does not register for the subsequent semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the student must submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll. The deadline to file a Leave of Absence form is the end of the drop/add period at the start of each semester. Term Off (AU/ROCH Program Students) Students in the AU/ROCH Programs may take up to two semesters off and have continued access to Augsburg email and AugNet Services. If a student is not registered after the 10th business day of the third semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the student must submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll. Military Called to Active Duty Augsburg University will allow students to withdraw from courses without penalty if they are called to active duty. This shall include a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees for dropped/withdrawn courses upon verification of call to active duty. Students must submit an Academic/Financial Petition and provide a copy of their orders to the Registrar’s Office. If the student is called to active duty after the deadline to drop a course, the Registrar’s Office will place a W for the course(s) along with a notation on the transcript that the student was called to active duty. This is to assist the student with any financial aid complications that may arise and also indicate that the withdrawal was outside of the student’s control. Alternatively, the university supports faculty in enabling students who are called to active duty and have substantially completed a course, to assign a grade based upon the coursework completed, or to work out an incomplete agreement. Students who are able to complete some of their courses would have their refunds adjusted to reflect this. Students who are being placed on active duty should contact the Registrar’s Office so the university can notify all parties and aid in this process. 55 Student Standing Committee The Student Standing Committee is a standing committee of the university that reviews requests for exceptions to academic and financial policy. Representatives from the faculty, Academic Advising, Registrar’s Office, Student Financial Services, and Student Affairs serve on the committee. Academic / Financial Petitions Students who wish to request exceptions to academic and financial policies should carefully review and complete the Academic/Financial Petition. Petitions must be submitted within 6 months from the end of the semester of the deadline being petitioned. The Committee typically meets to review petitions and Applications for Readmission every other week during fall and spring semesters and once each month during the summer semester. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Suspension Appeals Students who have been academically suspended have the right to appeal their suspension to the Student Standing Committee. Applications for Readmission Students seeking to re-apply to the university after being placed on academic probation or academic suspension must submit an Application for Readmission for review by the Student Standing Committee. Catalog Applicability Active Students (Registered, Leave of Absence, Term Off) ● May elect to satisfy the general education and departmental requirements outlined in the catalog in effect during their first semester of enrollment or any of the subsequent catalogs in effect while an active student. Inactive Students (Withdrawn) ● ● Three or Fewer Years Away o Inactive students who are readmitted after three or fewer years away (nine semesters, including summers) may elect to satisfy the general education and departmental requirements outlined in the catalog in effect during their first semester of initial enrollment or any of the subsequent catalogs in effect while an active student. More than Three Years Away o Inactive students who are readmitted after more than three years away (10 or more semesters, including summers) must complete the general education and departmental requirements of the catalog in effect at the time of re-enrollment or any of the subsequent catalogs in effect while an active student. Second Majors and Degrees Students with an existing baccalaureate degree from Augsburg or another institution may enroll to complete an additional major(s) or minor(s). Students will not be awarded a second degree unless it is different from the original degree awarded (BA, BM, BS). Students cannot earn multiple degrees for the same major, though it is possible to earn multiple degrees from the same academic department if the majors are distinct. For example, a student cannot earn both a BA in Computer Science and a BS in Computer Science, but may earn a BS in Computer Science and a BA in Computational Philosophy. Evaluation of Transfer Credit The evaluation of transfer credits is completed by the Registrar’s Office and is based on a student’s official transcript(s). Credit is granted for college-level coursework completed at regionally accredited institutions with a grade of C- or better. Credit from non-regionally accredited institutions may be approved if there is a transfer agreement in place or by petition. 56 Courses that may be developmental, professional, or occupational in nature are evaluated on a course-by-course basis in collaboration with faculty from corresponding or similar departments. Augsburg does not grant transfer credit for continuing education units (CEUs). Competency credits and exam credits issued by another institution will be evaluated on an individual basis. The Registrar’s Office evaluates coursework for credit and for applicability toward Augsburg's Core Curriculum requirements. Academic departments are responsible for evaluating the applicability of coursework toward a student’s major or minor. The university requires that certain courses and a minimum number of credits be taken at Augsburg. (Refer to the Graduation section of the catalog.) Transferred coursework with the Augsburg equivalents and evaluator comments are captured on the Transfer Credit Evaluation found in Records and Registration. Credits accepted in transfer are reported on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Students should consult with their academic advisor, faculty mentor, and the Registrar’s Office before taking courses at other institutions to ensure compliance with transfer credit policy and residency requirements. Additional resources about transferring credit are available on the Registrar’s Office website. Definition of Official Transcript Official transcripts are marked with institutional security features, date, and appropriate signature. Augsburg University accepts official transcripts directly from another institution’s Office of the Registrar or a secure authenticated designated party. The transcript must arrive at Augsburg University in an envelope sealed by the issuing institution or via an encrypted electronic method (adapted from AACRAO, 2018). Minnesota Transfer Curriculum Completion of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements and will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (RLN 100 or RLN 300). Associate of Arts Degree / Bachelor’s Degree Completion of an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree or a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements, reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (RLN 100 or RLN 300), and will waive one of two Health and Wellness requirements. Note: Additional prerequisite coursework beyond the AA degree or bachelor’s degree may be required in some Augsburg majors. Students are advised to consult an academic advisor in the major department to discuss major requirements. Advanced Transfer Students Students who enter Augsburg with 52 or more semester credits accepted in transfer are considered Advanced Transfer Students. The Augsburg Core Curriculum will be adjusted for advanced transfer students as outlined below: ● ● ● Waiver of Search for Meaning II Waiver of Augsburg Seminar / Engaging Minneapolis Waiver of both Health and Wellness requirements All Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements not mentioned above remain unchanged for Advanced Transfer Students. Waivers for Advanced Transfer are determined at the time of initial entry into Augsburg and will not be granted for courses completed after initial enrollment. Transfer Credit for Military Experience Students are welcome to submit their military transcripts to the Registrar’s Office for transfer credit evaluation. A military transcript will contain credit recommendations from the American Council on Education (ACE) for training and courses completed in the US Armed Services. Augsburg will review a military transcript to determine if any of the credit recommendations contained within it meet transfer credit guidelines. 57 Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy records are maintained on a Joint Services Transcript (JST). Air Force records: Air University and Community College of the Air Force are regionally accredited institutions. Students should submit official transcripts from these schools during the admission process. Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program Augsburg University recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that comprise the academic program of a liberal arts college. The Assessment of Previous Learning program (APL) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student’s previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a bachelor’s degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum, and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: International Baccalaureate Program (IB) Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate program will be considered by the university for appropriate credit. IB exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. Advanced Placement Program (AP) Augsburg allows students to earn credit for scores of 3, 4, or 5 on selected Advanced Placement tests. For some exams, a minimum score of 4 is required. AP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) This is a series of standardized tests developed by the College Board that are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. Students who score at or above the American Council on Education’s recommended score on an approved examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg University. CLEP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. DSST Exams DSST Exams are a series of standardized tests in college subjects that are comparable to the final examinations in undergraduate courses. Exams are offered at testing centers worldwide for a small fee. Students who score at or above the American Council on Education’s recommended score on an approved examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg University. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. Minnesota Bilingual and Multilingual Seals and World Languages Proficiency Certificates Augsburg will award college credit to students with the Minnesota bilingual and multilingual language proficiency certificates. These certificates are awarded to graduating Minnesota high school students who demonstrate the required level of language proficiency on a language other than English. Steps to submit the seal to Augsburg are outlined on the Registrar’s website. The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages These tests assess written and/or spoken proficiency in world languages. For a small fee, students can assess their level of knowledge in world languages to earn college credit and/or waive the modern language requirement. More information about eligibility and qualifying languages is available from Academic Advising. 58 Departmental Comprehensive Exams These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: ● ● ● ● There is a departmental exam available for the subject area in question. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. The Registrar approves the student’s request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is not computed in the GPA, and there is a charge per exam of $100 per semester credit. Portfolio Assessment Program This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student’s previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the Registrar’s Office. In completing the evaluation of a student’s previous learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria: ● ● ● ● ● There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts coursework. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. The learning relates well to the student’s educational goals. The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least one term of academic work at Augsburg University with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.50. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is a non-refundable application deposit of $200 to initiate the credit assessment process for each course presented in a portfolio. An additional $200 is charged upon approval of each course. Credit granted by portfolio review is not computed in the GPA. Transcript credit will be recorded with the equivalent Augsburg course numbers as determined by faculty reviewers. Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning While Augsburg University recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg allows a maximum of 32 credits (one-fourth of a bachelor’s degree) to be obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the 32 credits for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the assessment processes available in the APL Program: AP, CLEP, IB, DSST, ACTFL, departmental comprehensive exams, and credit granted through portfolio assessment. Graduation Requirements Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a major, the Augsburg Core Curriculum, a minimum GPA in major(s)/minor(s) and in total coursework, and residence. 1. Completion of 128 semester credits—No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 128 total semester credits required: o Eight semester credits by independent/directed study o 16 semester credits of internship o 24 semester credits with a grade of Pass (P) or Low Pass (LP) o Students may apply no more than eight semester credits with P/LP grades toward a major and no more than four semester credits with a P/LP grade toward a minor unless otherwise specified by an academic department. Departments with major or minor programs that allow a different number of P-graded credits have defined those limitations along with their major and minor requirements in the catalog. 59 2. Completion of 36 upper division credits (numbered 300 or above). 3. Completion of a Major—Requirements for each major are listed under the departmental headings. 4. Completion of the Augsburg Core Curriculum—Requirements for the Augsburg Core Curriculum are listed under the Augsburg Curriculum section. 5. Grade Point Average —Students must earn a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00. Additionally, all majors and minors require at least a 2.00 grade point average in coursework for the major or minor. Some academic programs require a higher grade point average or a specific minimum grade in each course. See the departmental section for details about the grade and grade point average for individual majors and minors. 6. Residence Requirement — A minimum of 32 semester credits must be completed at Augsburg or within the ACTC exchange program or study abroad/away through the Augsburg Center for Global Education and Experience. Senior Residence Requirement No fewer than 24 of the last 32 semester credits must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved exchange program. ● Transfer courses count against the senior residence requirement. Therefore, students are encouraged to complete transfer work prior to the final 32 credits for the degree. ● Assessment of Prior Learning (APL) credits -- including AP, CLEP, IB, DSST, ACTFL, departmental comprehensive exams, and credit granted through portfolio assessment -- are not counted against the senior residence requirement. Some departments have a minimum number of credits that are required in residence within the major or minor. Consult the departmental pages of this catalog for further information. The responsibility for ensuring that all degree requirements are satisfied rests with the student. Each student is required to file an Intent to Graduate application within the last 12 months of their program to confirm remaining graduation requirements. Application forms are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. Faculty mentors, the Academic Advising staff, department chairs, and the Registrar’s Office are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. Students who enter an academic program with a bachelor’s or higher degree should contact the Registrar’s Office about specific requirements for a second bachelor’s degree or for the equivalent of a major. All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the Registrar’s Office in order for the degree to be conferred. There may be no incompletes or open courses on the academic record. Latin Honors Augsburg recognizes those students who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement by conferring Latin honors upon completion of a bachelor’s degree. Students may also receive honors recognition for departmental honors and for participation in the Honors Program. (See individual department and program descriptions for details.) Qualification for Latin honors is determined as follows: Summa Cum Laude Magna Cum Laude Cum Laude 3.90-4.00 GPA 3.80-3.89 GPA 3.60-3.79 GPA To be eligible, a student must complete a minimum of 56 traditionally-graded credits at Augsburg. Visit the Registrar’s Office webpage for additional information. Commencement Though the terms are often confused, the words “graduation” and “commencement” carry different meanings. Graduation refers to the completion of all degree requirements. Students graduate when all requirements for the degree have been fulfilled, meaning that one can graduate at any point during the academic year provided that all requirements are complete. 60 Commencement is a ceremony. It is an opportunity for students, family, friends, and the Augsburg University community to celebrate academic achievement. Participation in commencement, however, does not mean that a student has graduated. A student will not graduate and a degree will not be conferred until all requirements are met, regardless of participation in commencement. Augsburg University holds one commencement ceremony in the spring for all students – undergraduate and graduate. Undergraduate students who have not completed all degree requirements may participate in commencement if: (1) no more than three requirements will remain in their program at the conclusion of spring semester; and (2) the remaining requirements will be completed in the summer or fall semesters immediately following commencement. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Federal regulations require that all higher education institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether students are making satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of a degree. Failure to meet the following standards could result in suspension from the university. Requirements At the end of each fall, spring and summer term, the university will review the academic progress of all registered undergraduate students. In order to remain in good academic and financial aid standing, you are required to maintain a cumulative Augsburg GPA of 2.00 and complete at least 66.67% of the credits you have attempted (including transfer credits). Students who do not meet these requirements will be placed on Academic Probation. GPA Calculation Refer to the Evaluation and Grading section of this catalog. Minimum Credits Completed Students must earn a cumulative 66.67% of the credits attempted based on the entire academic record. A completed credit is any credit with a grade of A - D-, LP, or P. Credits earned and completed will include accepted transfer credits as defined by the Registrar’s Office. Grades of “W (Withdrawn)”, “I (Incomplete)”, “X (Extension)”, “F”, “FN (Failed for Non-Attendance)”, and “N (Not Passing)” are counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. The credits associated with grades that have not been submitted when SAP is run will count against completion rate. Repeat Courses and remedial courses are not counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. Credit Completion Rate Calculation ● ● ● Attempted credits: Includes transferred credits and unsatisfactory grades (W, X, I, F, FN, N, IP). o Remedial and repeated courses do not count as attempted credits, so should be subtracted from the total number of attempted credits. Earned credits: Transferred credits and satisfactory Augsburg grades (A - D-, LP, P). Divide earned credits by attempted credits (do not round numbers up or down) o Example: 19 earned credits / 27 attempted credits = .7037 or 70.37% o Example: 17 earned credits / 27 attempted credits = .6296 or 62.96% Monitoring and Evaluating Progress In order to ensure SAP standards are being met, the Registrar’s Office will evaluate and monitor students' academic achievement at the end of each term. If a student’s record is evaluated and determined to be unsatisfactory, the student will be placed on Probation or Suspension. Students will be notified through their Augsburg email if they fail to meet SAP standards and appropriate notation will be placed on the permanent transcript. 61 Probation Students who do not meet cumulative standards (cumulative GPA or cumulative credit completion rate) will be placed on Academic Probation/Financial Aid Warning. Notation of “Academic Probation” for the semester will be placed on the permanent transcript. Students are required to complete and follow an Academic Plan of Assistance (augsburg.edu/advising). Students on Probation will have their registration limited to 16 credits. Students may appeal this restriction through a petition to the Student Standing Committee. At the end of the next attempted semester, students meeting cumulative standards (both cumulative GPA and cumulative completion rate) will be removed from Academic Probation/Financial Aid Warning. If cumulative standards are not met, the student’s term GPA and term completion rate will be evaluated. Students earning a minimum of a 2.00 term GPA and 66.67% term completion rate in addition to completing all other Probation requirements (augsburg.edu/advising/majors/probation-advising/) will continue on Academic Probation/Financial Aid Warning. Notation of “Academic Probation” for the term will be placed on the permanent transcript. Students will again be required to complete and follow an Academic Plan of Assistance (augsburg.edu/advising/majors/probationadvising/). Students’ eligibility for financial aid may be impacted if they do not follow through with SAP requirements. Students on Probation who voluntarily withdraw from Augsburg may apply for readmission. At that time, the Student Standing Committee will review their application for readmission. If cumulative and term standards are not met, students will be Suspended. For more information about Probation requirements, visit augsburg.edu/advising/majors/probation-advising/. Suspension Students on Probation who do not meet cumulative and term standards will be suspended from the university. Notation of “Academic Suspension” will be placed on the permanent transcript. Students may appeal their Suspension to the Student Standing Committee or designee. The Committee’s decision is final. Instructions for appeal are included in the Letter of Suspension. Students who have been suspended may apply for readmission after one full academic year (including fall, spring, and summer semesters). At that time, the Student Standing Committee will review the application for readmission. Recommendations on how to be successful in the readmission process may be outlined in the suspension letter. Augsburg University reserves the right to intervene with students who earn less than a 2.00 term GPA and/or less than 66.67% term completion rate in a semester but are otherwise meeting cumulative standards. Students who earn less than a 1.00 GPA during their first term at Augsburg will be suspended. Professional Program Dismissal Students may also be dismissed from professional programs, such as social work, education, and nursing. A student dismissed from a program may appeal the decision through the Program Dismissal Appeal Process. The process is available at inside.augsburg.edu/studentaffairs/studentguide. Dean’s List The Dean’s List, compiled after each semester, recognizes undergraduate students for outstanding achievement during the term. Students can qualify for the Dean’s List in two ways: ● ● Earning a semester GPA of 3.50 or higher based on 12 or more traditionally-graded credits Earning a semester GPA of 3.75 or higher based on 6-11 traditionally-graded credits Incomplete courses and other classes without final grades at the time the Dean’s List is compiled will not be considered. The Dean’s List is published on Inside Augsburg and students can choose to submit announcements to their hometown newspapers. 62 Enrollment/Degree Verification Augsburg University has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as its agent for verification of student enrollment and degree status. Contact information is as follows: National Student Clearinghouse 2300 Dulles Station Blvd, Suite 300 Herndon, VA 20171 Web: www.studentclearinghouse.org Phone: 703-742-4200 Veterans Education Benefits Augsburg University proudly supports military veterans, those who actively serve in the U.S. Armed Forces, and their families. Our faculty and staff are committed to helping veterans and active military succeed in their academic and professional endeavors. Augsburg is approved by the state approving agency for VA education benefits. Veterans and eligible spouses and dependents should consult with the VA School Certifying Officials in the Registrar’s Office and Student Financial Services about completion of enrollment verification and the forwarding of other information to the Department of Veterans Affairs. An individual who qualifies for VA education benefits will be asked to provide a Certificate of Eligibility, Statement of Benefits, or documentation from a vocational rehabilitation counselor to confirm eligibility for their benefit. For students who qualify for and are currently utilizing Chapter 31 or Chapter 33 VA education benefits, Augsburg will not impose financial penalties or restrict access to registration or other campus services based solely on delayed payments from the VA. Please note that students are responsible for expenses beyond those covered by their VA education benefit; fees or other penalties may be assessed for failure to pay charges not covered by the VA. Students should contact the VA School Certifying Official in the Registrar’s Office if they have questions about what expenses are covered by their benefit. Additional information about veterans’ education benefits can be found at va.gov. 63 Augsburg Core Curriculum Augsburg University is dedicated to educating students intellectually, physically, and spiritually. To live fully and act effectively, humans must have a broad grasp of the world from which they have come, as well as the world in which they live. Through providing courses in the humanities, fine arts, natural sciences, and social sciences, the core curriculum introduces students to the breadth and complexity of human knowledge and our world. “Search for Meaning” courses invite students to explore vocation, diversity, and pluralism through the study of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and encourages students to consider their own religious, philosophical, and ethical commitments in dialogue with other perspective. The Language courses introduce students to the skills and sensibilities necessary to cross cultures and work across difference. Wellness courses offer students opportunities to develop skills and habits of healthful living. Students choose from more than 50 major areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a career or further study. Thus, through a balance of curricular activities supported by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg University education strives to educate its students in a real world for the real world. Undergraduate Student Learning Outcomes The university’s mission statement offers a series of educational values: Augsburg University 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. As part of this mission, Augsburg’s faculty have identified a set of outcomes for student learning These areas reflect our shared commitment to offering a vibrant liberal arts education in tandem with career preparation and vocational discovery. We expect students to achieve these outcomes cumulatively, through the completion of the core curriculum, majors / minors, electives and co-curricular experiences. As Informed Citizens, students are learning to … ● engage their communities and demonstrate a sense of agency to create change in ethical and informed ways ● explain diverse positions and collaborate effectively across social, cultural and geographic differences in local and global contexts As Thoughtful Stewards, students are learning to … ● critically engage their own beliefs and articulate their gifts and goals for meaningful life and work in a pluralistic context ● identify the broad foundations for sustainable living and apply them in demonstrable ways As Critical Thinkers, students are learning to … ● use appropriate methods to gather and analyze evidence, identify underlying assumptions, and evaluate competing claims ● construct coherent, polished and persuasive arguments, narratives and explications in written, oral and other formats As Responsible Leaders, students are learning to … ● employ the fundamental principles of quantitative literacy to arrive at thoughtful judgments ● articulate and solve problems in creative, analytical, and integrative ways 64 Overview of the Curriculum The Augsburg Curriculum is comprised of three main components: core curriculum (or general education requirements), major requirements, and electives. Some students may need to complete entry-level skill courses before enrolling in college-level classes. The general education requirements include a liberal arts foundation, signature courses and experiences, skills development, and a keystone. Entry Level Placement Tests Math, Writing, English (if applicable), and language placement for Language courses. The Augsburg Core Curriculum The Augsburg First Year ● ● ● Augsburg Seminar Engaging Minneapolis Many Voices Project The Augsburg Signature Curriculum ● ● ● Religion, Vocation, and the Search for Meaning I and II Augsburg Experience Senior Keystone The Liberal Arts Foundation ● ● ● ● Natural Sciences and Math Social and Behavioral Sciences Humanities Fine Arts Electives Majors Skills The Augsburg Curriculum is designed to help students develop the skills necessary for successful careers and fulfilling lives, including: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Writing Critical Thinking Oral Communication Information Literacy Quantitative Literacy Religious Literacy Problem Solving Intercultural Competence Civic Agency and Engagement Health and Wellness Entry Level Placement Tests Prior to their first registration, students will complete placement tests in: ● ● ● ● Mathematics Writing Language Placement and, if applicable, English Language Learning 65 First-year students entering Augsburg in the fall of 2013 or later must complete developmental and writing courses by the end of their fourth term. Transfer students entering Augsburg in the fall of 2013 or later must complete all required developmental and writing courses by the end of their third term. The developmental courses subject to this policy are: ● ● ● ● ENL 101 ENL 111 / ENL 112 ENL 217 / 218 MAT 103 / 105 Mathematics For a strong start at Augsburg, students will take an entry-level exam to determine their math placement group (MPG.) In some cases, students who have transferred a mathematics course taken at another college may have their MPG determined by the Registrar’s Office. All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Test, administered by Academic Advising. Students are required to take the Math Placement Test before registering for the first term. Practice questions and other information are available on the Academic Advising website -- students are encouraged to study for the exam. Students may retake the Math Placement Test once during their first term of enrollment. Based on the math placement test result, students will be enrolled in the appropriate courses or advised on preparation for retaking the Math Placement Test. Students in Math Placement Group (MPG) 1 must take MAT 103: Prealgebra to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 must take MAT 105 or MAT 106 to advance to MPG 3. Students in MPG 3 must take MAT 114: Precalculus to advance to MPG 4, if planning to take calculus. No other MAT course changes a student’s MPG. A grade of Pass or C- or higher is required to advance to the next math level. Students are encouraged to advance their MPG as soon as possible. Students must achieve Math Placement Group (MPG) 3 or higher to graduate. In addition, many courses require MPG 2, 3, or 4 as a prerequisite. Writing A writing sample is required of students to determine placement in an appropriate writing class. Students who transfer an equivalent English composition course from another institution or Advanced Placement English Language and Composition will be waived from the placement test. If we have official access to an ACT writing sample, we can use that sample in place of the writing placement test. All other students must take the Writing Placement Test, administered by Academic Advising. Based on the writing sample, students are placed into the appropriate writing course. Students placed at Effective take Effective Writing II (or Advanced Effective Writing or Honors Effective Writing). Students placed at Developmental take Effective Writing I (ENL 101) before taking Effective Writing II. These students must pass Effective Writing I (ENL 101) with a grade of P, C-, or higher before enrolling in Effective Writing II (ENL 111/112/HON 111). Modern Language Placement Test Students with proficiency or experience in French, German, or Spanish complete a placement test. Students begin their exploration of modern language at the level identified by the placement test. This online placement is administered by Academic Advising. Placement for American Sign Language and Ojibwe is administered by faculty representing those specific languages. Students speaking other languages can take a test through Language Testing International and receive credit for the test by ordering a transcript of a score to be sent to Augsburg. English Language Learners Assessment Students whose primary language is other than English will complete a placement to determine preparedness for classes taught in English and may need to complete an English Language Learning course(s). This placement is administered by Academic Advising. 66 Core Skills Requirements Effective Writing Students must pass ENL 111 - Effective Writing II, ENL 112 - Advanced Effective Writing, or HON 111 - Honors Effective Writing with a grade of C-, P, or higher, or transfer in an equivalent course. Attendance at the first day of class is required. Language For students who have not previously studied a second language, completion of a two-course sequence in the same language with a minimum grade of C- or P in both courses is required. For a language previously studied, placement into the 211 level or successful completion (minimum grade of C- or P) of 112 satisfies the graduation requirement. Placement into French, German, and Spanish courses is based on assessment results from an online Brigham Young University evaluation tool. Students proficient in other languages may seek a placement evaluation through faculty fluent in the specified language at Augsburg or other ACTC schools. Details are available from Academic Advising. Availability of assessment in all languages is not guaranteed. Assessment is used for placement only and does not result in credit. Students may audit, but will not receive credit for any course taken below their placement level. The Department of Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies may review and sometimes override assessment results as deemed appropriate. Language courses accepted in transfer may be applicable to this skills area for partial or full completion of the requirement. Students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by passing an approved course sequence will have fulfilled the Language Core Skill. Students whose first language is not English and whose score is below the minimum on the English Language Learners (ELL) placement test must fulfill the ELL requirement. The requirement is satisfied by successfully completing the ELL course(s) and achieving a score above the minimum on the ELL placement exam. Students who complete the ELL requirement will receive credit for the Language Core Skill requirement. Contact Academic Advising or the English Department for additional information. Health and Wellness Two health and wellness courses are required for students admitted into the Day Program. WEL100 - Foundations of Wellness is required of all Day students. The second course may be chosen from a variety of different Recreational Wellness courses. Both courses must be completed with a P or LP. Students may test out of the Recreational Wellness course by demonstrating proficiency from a selected Recreational Wellness activity. Proficiency exams are offered through the Health and Physical Education Department each semester. There is a fee to take the Recreational Wellness Activity Proficiency Test. Intercollegiate athletes and Health and Physical Education majors may not test out of this requirement. The Augsburg Core Curriculum The Augsburg Core Curriculum is designed to prepare students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens through their engagement in a curriculum that: ● ● ● Provides a liberal arts foundation and promotes the acquisition of intellectual and professional skills Calls for common inquiry into questions of faith and the search for meaning Cultivates the transformative discovery of, and appreciation for, the student’s place of leadership and service in a diverse world The curriculum has three major components: ● ● ● Liberal Arts Foundation Signature Curriculum Skills Development 67 The Augsburg First Year To smooth the transition to higher education and their new community, first-year weekday program students are required to take courses containing the following components: Augsburg Seminar and Engaging Minneapolis The Engaging Minneapolis requirement builds on Augsburg’s national leadership in experiential education as well as its commitment to its urban location. Embedded in the first-year Augsburg Seminar experience, Engaging Minneapolis introduces students to the city as a resource for intentional learning, typically through civic engagement, cultural engagement, and/or service-learning. Many Voices Project Embedded in ENL 111, 112, and HON 111 (see Core Skills requirements), the Many Voices Project engages first-year students in discussion of a common text addressing themes of cultural diversity and global awareness. Emphasizing ways in which written communication can promote understanding and productive engagement among different cultures and points of view, the Many Voices Project is intended to teach skills and methods that promote successful communication among diverse writers and readers. The Augsburg Signature Curriculum Religion, Vocation, and the Search for Meaning Guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, the Search for Meaning courses encourage inquiry, welcome diversity, wrestle with life’s complexities, and engage the world. Two required courses (RLN 100 plus a Search for Meaning II course) highlight Augsburg’s commitment to developing religious literacy and nurturing students to think critically about the concept of vocation. Students from all faith traditions will find a generous spirit of hospitality in these courses. Whether you are Jewish or atheist, Buddhist or seeker, Catholic or Muslim, Baptist, Lutheran, uncertain, disinterested, or someone who is “spiritual but not religious,” these courses promote respect and understanding across faith traditions. All religion courses engage with the concept of vocation and an understanding that we are called to live and serve as neighbors. RLN 100 explores the idea that vocation is a model and lens for viewing the connections between our basic beliefs and the commitments and actions we make in life. The Liberal Arts Foundation The Liberal Arts Foundation courses introduce students to knowledge and modes of inquiry across a wide range of disciplines and subjects. The course offerings in the liberal arts provide the opportunity for students to acquire a broad and solid foundation for their specialized study and professional preparation. Students choose two approved LAF courses from two different departments in each domain: Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Humanities, and Fine Arts. The official list of approved LAF courses is found on the Registrar’s Office webpage. Natural Sciences and Mathematics Two approved courses from two different departments: Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Mathematics, Physics. One must be a lab science course. Social and Behavioral Sciences Two approved courses from two different departments: Anthropology, Economics, Environmental Studies, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology. 68 Humanities Two approved courses from two different departments/programs: American Indian Studies, Communication Studies, English, History, Philosophy, Religion, Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies (literature and culture courses), and Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies. Note: The signature Search for Meaning (RLN 100, 200, and 300) courses do not count as humanities Liberal Arts Foundation requirements. If a student opts to take another approved RLN course to fulfill the Search for Meaning II requirement, that course may not count toward a Humanities LAF. Fine Arts Two approved courses or approved activities from two different departments: Art, Film, Music, Theater. One fine arts LAF requirement can be met by participating in one of the following: ● ● ● Four semesters in any combination of the major choral ensembles listed (MUE 111, 112, 114, 115) Four semesters of orchestra (MUE 121) Four semesters of concert band (MUE 141) Senior Keystone The Senior Keystone course provides a final opportunity for exploring the central themes of an Augsburg education— vocation and the search for meaning in a diverse and challenging world. In this course, students reflect on the meaning of their educational experiences and consider issues of transition as they prepare for their lives after Augsburg. Many Keystone courses also meet major requirements. The Senior Keystone course in each department connects the broad liberal arts foundation with the professional skills and in-depth study of the major. It asks graduating students to think critically, reflectively, and ethically about their place in the world as leaders and servants. Electives A student must complete a minimum of 128 semester credits in order to graduate. If the Core Curriculum and Major requirements do not reach 128 semester credits, the student may take electives for credit in any subject area to reach the minimum credit requirement. Majors For major requirements, see the appropriate departmental page(s) of this catalog or consult the department chair. Graduation Skills An Augsburg education aims to develop certain key skills during the years in college. Critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, speaking, writing and information literacy are deliberate components of certain courses. Graduation skill requirements typically are embedded in required courses in the major. Some departments, however, designate courses outside the major or elective courses in the major that fulfill these requirements. The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) skill incorporates both foundational mathematical skills and the application of those skills. MPG 3 (Math Placement Group 3) is a prerequisite for all quantitative reasoning courses. See the appropriate departmental page(s) in this catalog or consult the department chair for more information. Core Curriculum Modifications Some majors that result in a Bachelor of Science degree give students the ability to modify their Core Curriculum requirements. For majors that allow both options, please note that students must choose either the Liberal Arts Foundation waiver or the Language waiver. The two waiver options cannot be combined for a student. 69 Bachelor of Science/Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) Waiver Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver must complete at least six of the eight LAF requirements, provided at least one course is taken in each of the four domains. (e.g., two Natural Science and Mathematics courses, two Social and Behavioral Science courses, one Fine Arts course, and one Humanities course) The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Actuarial Science (St. Thomas) Biochemistry Biology Biopsychology Chemistry Computer Science Elementary Education Exercise Science Health Education (teaching licensure only) Mathematical Economics Mathematics Music Therapy Nursing Physical Education (teaching licensure only) Physics Bachelor of Science/Language Waiver Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver are not required to complete modern language courses as part of their degree. The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Actuarial Science (St. Thomas) Biochemistry Biology Biopsychology Chemistry Computer Science Mathematical Economics Mathematics Music Therapy Nursing Physics 70 Majors and Minors Majors, or concentrations of study, may be within one department, within one division, or may cross academic disciplines. Students are required to declare a major upon completion of 48 semester credits, and earlier in some disciplines. Details of majors and minors are in the departmental pages of this catalog. Unless otherwise indicated, majors are part of the Bachelor of Arts degree. Students are not required to complete a minor for graduation. Minors completed after a bachelor’s degree is awarded are noted on the transcript. Below is a complete list of majors, minors, and emphases. Listings that are in bold type are offered through both the Day Program and the Adult Undergraduate (AU) program. Students are encouraged to discuss scheduling rotation of major courses with their faculty mentors.

A student-designed major allows flexibility in selecting major courses. Any student wishing to design a major must complete a proposal, submit it with approval and supporting letters from three faculty advisors, and obtain AAC approval of the program. Students should seek AAC approval as early as possible so that any changes suggested by AAC may be incorporated into the design without affecting the student’s proposed completion date. The deadline for initial submission of the program design to AAC is the first term in which the student has achieved junior status; the final version must be approved the term before the student achieves senior status. Students wishing to design majors must: 1. Develop the student-designed major in concert with three faculty advisors from relevant fields, who together constitute the Review Team. All advisors must sign the proposal cover sheet and submit supporting letters of approval to AAC. Supporting letters should assess both the student’s ability to complete the proposed major and the validity and value of the proposed major, including (in at least one of the letters) the proposed capstone course. The advisors’ signatures and supporting letters represent their approval of the program, including the capstone course, and their commitment to oversee the student’s progress. 2. Develop a student-designed major program proposal that includes: ● A statement of learning goals and objectives ● A list of proposed courses (minimum of 36 semester credits, no more than one of which is a lower-level language course, and at least five of which are upper division) and a discussion of how the courses are related to the program goals. Indicate how the proposed courses collectively support a specialized and cohesive plan usually associated with an academic major. Proposals must include research describing comparable programs of study at a minimum of three other academic institutions. In addition, students should consult with the Clair & Gladys Strommen Center for Meaningful Work for additional information regarding career objectives. The proposal should provide information showing how the Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements (including graduation skills) are to be fulfilled. ● A description of the student-designed major capstone to be taken some time during the senior year. The student should devise the capstone in consultation with advisors. It should require an integrative project/paper that draws together the coursework up to that point and/or prepares one for further study. In addition, at least one of the advisors must specifically address the rationale for the proposed capstone in his or her supporting letter, though approval of the student-designed major program by all advisors presumes their approval of the capstone course. ● Submit the completed proposal and supporting documentation to the Office of Academic Affairs. If AAC approves the proposed major program, the student will be expected to complete the program designed and still meet all of the other Augsburg degree requirements as stated in the university catalog. Students who design their own majors will meet with their advisors regularly throughout the design and subsequent evaluation of their program. Changes in the approved student-designed major may be made through the normal petition process to the Student Standing Committee with advisor approval. ACTC Majors Full-time Day students may complete other majors through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). Students who wish to complete a major or minor offered at one of the other ACTC colleges must submit a completed ACTC Major or Minor Declaration Form to the Registrar’s Office. This form must list all ACTC courses required and be signed by the ACTC school advisor. Some majors may not be available or may have a competitive application process with acceptance determined by the major department. 73 Students choosing an ACTC major will need to work with an advisor at the other campus to plan course schedules so that the student is making progress towards the degree. Students should know that registration for ACTC courses can be limited and are advised to submit registration materials at the earliest possible time. Pre-Professional Programs Students who plan to enter the fields of law, medicine, dentistry, ministry, veterinary science, or pharmacy can profit from a liberal arts education at Augsburg. It is recommended that requirements for admission to graduate schools or seminaries be reviewed and the course of study at Augsburg planned accordingly. A faculty mentor is available in each field to assist students in their planning. In addition, the Undergraduate Research and Graduate Opportunities (URGO) office includes a Health Science Advisor who works directly with students pursuing health care fields. Students who want to plan a pre-professional program should contact Academic Advising prior to or early in their first year to arrange for faculty advising. List of Pre-Professional Programs ● ● ● ● Pre-Health Science o See Biology Departmental page Pre-Law o Students considering a career in law should examine the handbook published by the Association of American Law Schools. Pre-law students major in disciplines of their own choosing; most law school entrance requirements will be satisfied with a record of solid achievement coupled with an acceptable Law School Admission Test (LSAT) score. Pre-Pharmacy o Augsburg has a program designed to fulfill minimum requirements of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Minnesota: BIO 151, 353, 476; CHM 115, 116, 351, 352; COM 111 or 115; ECO 112 or 113; ENL 111, 220; MAT 145; PHY 121, 122; and two courses in behavioral sciences such as PSY 105 and SOC 121. Requirements at other universities may vary. Pre-Seminary o A student may enter a theological seminary with any of several different majors, such as history, philosophy, English, psychology, sociology, or religion. Recommended preparation includes RLN 100, 200; at least two semesters of history (Western civilization); one or more courses in the history of philosophy; and Greek in the junior and/or senior year. The Bernhard Christensen Center for Vocation provides resources and support, including scholarship opportunities, for students considering seminary. 74 Academic Organization and Departments As a liberal arts institution, Augsburg University believes that knowledge and truth are interrelated and are integrated into a whole. The tradition of the academic world, however, divides this unified truth into more manageable parts: the academic disciplines. The knowledge of individual disciplines is subdivided into courses that make it more accessible to students. These courses can be arranged in various ways to construct majors, to create the substance of a broad general education, and to give students the opportunity to study areas of particular individual interest. Degrees Offered Augsburg offers the following undergraduate degrees: ● ● ● Bachelor of Arts Bachelor of Music Bachelor of Science Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty. Augsburg University is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a doctorate or the highest degree in their field, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are also involved in a variety of professional and research activities that support their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that introduces them to current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching techniques and theories. Augsburg’s size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisors and participate regularly in campus activities. Every incoming student is assigned both a faculty and staff academic advisor. In this close interaction, faculty act as mentors for students, and the staff advisor primarily guides course planning. Course Descriptions Course descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter to aid students in planning a program. Course descriptions can be found at our Course Description Search. A syllabus containing a more detailed explanation of content, approach, requirements, and evaluations for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor. Internships and Independent Studies Every department offers opportunities for internships and independent study. The course description and process for registering for credit is normally the same for each department. Some departments have additional requirements that are noted in the course description. Interdisciplinary internships are also available. Internships 198 – Internship/On-campus 199 - Internship/Off-campus (4 credits) A work or service-based learning experience typically at the sophomore level in which a student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. Prior to the beginning of the term/registration, interested students must consult with the departmental internship coordinator or a faculty member and the Strommen Center regarding requirements and permission to register. 396 - Internship/On-campus (4 credits) 397 - Internship/Off-campus (2 credits) 398 - Internship/On-campus (2 credits) 75 399 - Internship/Off-campus (4 credits) A work or service-based learning experience at the junior/senior level in which a student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. For some majors, participation in a concurrent seminar may be expected. Prior to the beginning of the term/registration, interested students must consult with the departmental internship coordinator or a faculty member and the Strommen Center regarding requirements and permission to register. (Off-campus 397/399 internships are one option for the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement.) Directed and Independent Studies 299 - Directed Study An opportunity to study topics not covered in the scheduled offerings under the direction of an instructor. Approval must be secured in writing from the instructor and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is undertaken. 499 - Independent Study/Research An opportunity for advanced and specialized research projects. Approval must be secured in writing from the instructor and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is undertaken. Academic Year All Augsburg programs follow the semester calendar with fall, spring, and summer semester lengths ranging from 14-16 weeks. In Augsburg’s Day Program full-time students normally take 16 credits per semester. Day Program students are able to take courses from the other four Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities during fall or spring semester. Adult Undergraduate (AU) classes typically meet on the same night of the week, Monday through Thursday for threeand-a-half hours, on an alternating bi-weekly schedule. The alternating weeks of the semester are labeled “Maroon,” and “Silver.” Online and out-of-class work occurs during the non-class meeting week. Students may take up to 19 credits per semester. Rochester (ROCH) campus classes are held on weekday evenings and meet alternate weeks. There are seven to eight class sessions supplemented by online instruction each semester with each class meeting for 3.5 to 4 hours. Students may take up to 19 credits per semester. Courses and majors offered through AU/ROCH are equivalent to their Day Program counterparts. However, the curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts courses and majors. Course Offerings In general, most courses are offered at least once per year unless otherwise indicated. Since some courses are offered alternate years, it is important that the student review major requirements and course offerings with an advisor to ensure that all requirements can be met. Note: Not all courses are offered in all programs. Refer to AugNet Records and Registration for information on when specific courses are offered. Credit Hour Definition Augsburg’s credit hour policy follows the federal guidelines in defining a semester credit hour as one fifty-minute period of instruction and 100 minutes of out-of-class work per week for fifteen weeks, or the equivalent amount of student work completed over a different time frame or via a different delivery method. 76 Numbering Courses numbered 100 -299 are classified as lower division. Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as upper division. In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for first-years, 200s for sophomores, 300s for juniors, and 400s for seniors. Prerequisites Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are listed in the online Course Description Search as prerequisites. While it is not recommended, a student may enroll in a course when a prerequisite has not been fulfilled if there is prior approval by the professor teaching the course. Effective Writing II (ENL111) and math placement prerequisites cannot be waived by the instructor. Students may be dropped from a course they have registered for if they do not earn a satisfactory grade in the prerequisite for that course in the preceding semester. Divisions and Departments The university curriculum is offered by 26 departments that are grouped into three divisions for administrative and instructional purposes: Fine Arts and Humanities American Indian Studies, Art, Communication Studies, Film, and New Media, English, History, Languages and CrossCultural Studies, Music, Philosophy, Religion, Theater, Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies, university librarians.

It teaches us to see, claim beauty, make sense of pain, explore the world, and express ourselves. At Augsburg University, inspiration and creativity flourish with diversity. A solid foundation of drawing, design, and history is balanced with the development of technical skills, critical thinking, and creative exploration in a range of media, including graphic design, drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, photography, hand papermaking, book arts, art history, architecture, and digital media. Through experiential learning and critical engagement, we foster understanding of and respect for the crucial contributions of art to society. We are a small campus in the heart of a major metropolitan area with an innovative faculty. Our classrooms extend into the city creating opportunities for community engagement and real-life experiences. On-campus galleries showcase student and professional artwork. Nearby museums, galleries, studio visits, and guest artists provide art in real time. Service learning, internships, and study abroad are integral to our program. We reach nearly 1,000 students a year from all disciplines, and graduate 10-15 majors annually with Bachelor of Arts degrees in art history, graphic design, studio art, and art education. Minors in studio art, art history, graphic design, and architecture provide additional opportunities for specialization. For more than half a century, students have been earning degrees in art and art history at Augsburg University. We’re excited to be here in the center of the city. You will be, too.

This includes information flow through biochemical signaling, and energy flow through metabolism. Biochemical processes give rise to the rich complexity and variety of life. Biochemistry serves as a vital bridge between macroscopic and molecular worlds, encompassing the broad study of chemical processes within and relating to living systems. The mechanisms that sustain life are rich and complex, and biochemists are trained to appreciate those mechanisms on a uniquely fundamental level. Augsburg’s core curriculum in biochemistry encourages students to build their understanding of key fields within the biological sciences—including anatomy, physiology, cell biology, genetics, and medicinal chemistry—using the underlying molecular interactions as a solid foundation for their mastery. The breadth and depth of this approach serves as a robust platform for a vast array of careers for aspiring health professionals, researchers, and industry technicians. The Biochemistry major is a joint major between the Biology and Chemistry Departments. As such, students have the support of a large pool of faculty mentors while completing their studies, as well as dedicated members of both departments who focus specifically on biochemistry for their academic vocation. Biochemistry Faculty Matthew Beckman, Jennifer Bankers-Fulbright, William Capman, David Crowe (Chair), Teresa Krause, Emily Schilling, Jason Tan, Leon Van Eck, Joan Kunz, Benjamin Binder, Amanda Case, Vivian Feng, Michael Wentzel (Chair).

The graduation skill in Speaking (S) is met by completing COM 115 (preferred) or COM 111 or HON 130. Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these skills. General Education Accommodation BS biochemistry majors may reduce their general education program by one or two courses. See Bachelor of Science/Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) Waiver in the Academic Information section of the catalog. Transfer Course Policy for Majors and Minors Chemistry and Biology have articulation agreements with many of the local CCs as well as ACTC schools. Any transfer courses not part of existing articulation agreements must be approved in writing by the departments, subject to review by the chairs. Only those biology and chemistry courses successfully completed (C- or above) within the last 10 years will be considered. Both biochemistry courses and four credits of upper division (300 level and higher) electives must be completed in residence (at Augsburg University). Departmental Honors in Biochemistry The awarding of Departmental Honors recognizes a student’s outstanding achievement(s) in the Biochemistry Major. Only students who have a major GPA of 3.5 or higher may earn Departmental Honors by successfully completing the following: Continuation of a summer or academic year biology, chemistry, or biophysics research or internship via successful completion of BIO 297, BIO/CHM 399, CHM 498, BIO/CHM 499 or HON 499 (minimum of 400 hours total research). Before registering for one of these options, students must submit a formal letter of intent to an Honors Committee of three biology or chemistry or physics faculty (to be determined by the mentor and student). This formal letter of intent will be composed of no more than one page of text providing the following: (1) Title of project; (2) abstract describing the project with special focus given to the questions that will be addressed, the methods to be used and the expected outcomes; (3) name and signature (with date) of your faculty mentor; and (4) list of the three Biology, Chemistry and/or Physics Department faculty who have agreed to serve as your Honors Committee. A decision whether or not to approve registration will be made by the Honors Committee within one week of submission. Successful completion of the Honors process requires a public presentation of your research and a oral discussion of your project with the Honors Faculty 85 committee, typically no later than March 15, so that successful recipients of departmental honors can be recognized during graduation ceremonies. The formal letter of intent for Honors in Biochemistry is typically submitted early in the fall semester of the senior year. Other Requirements In planning their courses of study, students are encouraged to work closely with members of the biology and chemistry faculty. Biochemistry majors must have an advisor in either the biology or chemistry departments. In order to complete all major requirements in four years, BIO 151 and CHM 115 and 116 should be taken in the first year; and BIO 253 and CHM 251 and 252 and 280 are recommended in the second year. Students should complete their math requirements early in their academic careers. Students must earn a minimum grade of grade of C- in all courses that are prerequisite for higher level courses. Supporting course requirements in mathematics, physics, and communication must be satisfied with a grade of C- or higher to satisfy major requirements. A C- or higher average must be maintained in all upper division biology and chemistry courses applied toward meeting the requirements of a major. All biology and chemistry courses applied toward the major must be traditionally graded. Students completing majors in biochemistry will be required to take the ETS Major Field Test in either biology or chemistry during their final year of the program. The exam will appear on the graduation checklist. Biochemistry for Health Sciences Prerequisite requirements for health sciences vary with the program and the institution. Care should be taken to study the requirements for every program well in advance of making application. In general, the pre-medical curriculum includes a year each of biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, calculus and physics. Courses in biochemistry, statistics, advanced biology, and social and behavioral sciences are also important preparation for the MR5 Medical College Admissions Exam. Programs in physician assistant training, veterinary medicine, physical therapy, and such typically have a more extensive list of prerequisites. Students considering a post-baccalaureate program in these areas should consult early and often with health science advisors Catherina Kipper, and Kelsey Richardson-Blackwell. Graduate Training in Biochemistry Graduate programs in biochemistry typically require two semesters of general chemistry, organic chemistry, calculus, and physics. A course in statistics is highly recommended. Also required is extensive involvement in faculty-student research through URGO, McNair and other research opportunities which satisfy the Augsburg Experience. Students also participate in research off campus through internships and summer research experiences. Careful consultation with a biology or chemistry faculty mentor is recommended to select among coursework and research options. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 86 Biology From transgenic crops to emerging diseases to being a member of the human species, biology affects – literally – every part of your life. Because biology is such a broad field, the biology program at Augsburg emphasizes integration across many sub-disciplines, including molecular, cellular, organismal, evolutionary, and ecological biology. Additionally, the biology program at Augsburg coordinates with the mathematics, chemistry, and physics programs to ensure that our students acquire the necessary knowledge to fully understand biological phenomena. Augsburg’s Biology program is designed to provide students with the opportunities to (1) understand the fundamental knowledge of the discipline, (2) know how scientific knowledge is generated and disseminated, (3) effectively communicate scientific information in written and oral forms, (4) be proficient in common biological lab techniques, and (5) demonstrate professionalism in the sciences. Additionally, Augsburg has a strong commitment to undergraduate research, both on and off campus. There are a variety of opportunities to work on research projects with Biology faculty and subsequently present your research at regional, national, and international meetings. Graduates of our Biology program follow many different paths. Most of our graduates use their undergraduate major in Biology as a springboard for further study. Augsburg graduates have gone on to graduate studies leading to careers in post-secondary teaching, basic and applied research, and public health or have entered professional programs in medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. In addition, many of our students go directly into the workforce as laboratory technologists and teachers. Biology Faculty Matthew Beckman, Jennifer Bankers-Fulbright, William Capman, David Crowe (Chair), Teresa Krause, Emily Schilling, Jason Tan, Leon Van Eck Degree and Major Requirements Students majoring in Biology will earn a Bachelor of Science degree.

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

Students who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to continue their education in a variety of fields or to work successfully in business and government because of the strong liberal arts emphasis within the major. The department offers six majors: Economics, Applied Economics, Mathematical Economics, Business and Economics, and Economics and Political Science (Education majors only). The Economics major and the Applied Economics majors lead to careers in the business world or government. The Mathematical Economics major is designed for students who intend to attend graduate school in economics or another quantitative field such as finance or operations research. It is also designed to serve students to work in quantitative fields immediately upon graduation, e.g., research analysts or actuaries. The combined Economics/Business Administration major allows students great flexibility in order to explore both fields. Finally, the teaching major in Political Science/Economics allows secondary education licensure students to obtain a solid background for teaching economics. The study of economics provides a firm foundation for confronting change because it presents a disciplined way to analyze and make choices. An Economics major prepares students for community leadership and leads to a great diversity of career opportunities including law, teaching, journalism, and private and public international service. Pre-law and potential Master of Business Administration students are especially encouraged to consider Economics as a major or a minor. Students are able to combine an Economics major with other disciplines such as Business Administration, International Relations, Mathematics, Management Information Systems, Political Science, History, and area study programs. Students who are interested in any type of quantitatively-oriented graduate program in economics or in business are encouraged to either major or minor in Mathematics. These students should also take courses in Computer Science. Consult an advisor for specific course suggestions. For the Economics and Applied Economics majors, the capstone experience is ECO 490 - Research Methods in Econometrics. Students in other majors should consult their advisor for alternatives. Internships are recommended. Students must consult with the department chair and the Strommen Center before registering for an internship for academic credit.

These programs lead to recommendation for licensure to the State of Minnesota for: ● ● ● ● ● Elementary (grades K-6) Secondary—grades 5-12 in communication arts/literature, health, mathematics, and social studies; grades 9-12 in life science, chemistry, and physics K-12 licenses in visual arts, physical education, music, English as a Second Language (ESL) and the special education: Academic Behavioral Strategist (ABS) license. (Note the ESL and ABS programs are available in weekday evening program only*) General Science (5-8) initial license Optional endorsements for a K-6 elementary license include, mathematics (grades 5-8), general science (grades 5-8), social studies (grades 5-8), or communication arts/literature (grades 5-8). Program Availability Degree and/or licensure programs are available in both the Day and AU (weekday evening*) programs. Augsburg Undergraduate (AU) degree and licensure programs are limited to elementary, secondary communication arts/literature and social studies, and K-12 visual arts, ESL and ABS. Additional licensure programs are available through the Day program and open to AU students who can take courses on a weekday schedule. All prerequisite courses, elementary core courses, and professional education courses are available on a weekday evening schedule*. P-12 field service requirements associated with courses and student teaching must be completed during regular P-12 school hours. All students must have some time available each term for field service in P-12 educational settings. Licensure only Students who have completed a BA/BS degree may complete a licensure only program within the day or AU* undergraduate program. Contact the Education Department or the Office of Admission for information. Program Overview Students in all degree and/or licensure programs must apply for acceptance into the licensure program prior to beginning most 300-400 level courses. (EDC 310 may be taken prior to admission). It is highly recommended that candidates apply for acceptance to the licensure program before they are enrolled in EDC 310 in order to be ready to register for most other 300-400 level courses in a timely manner. Additional criteria for acceptance into the Education Department are available through the department website. Students complete a semester of full-time student teaching at the conclusion of their degree and/or licensure. Students must complete the EdTPA during their student teaching semester. State law requires passing appropriate exams (pedagogy and content exams) prior to recommendation for licensure. Students who entered Augsburg University under earlier catalogs must comply with the requirements of the new licensure programs. The Education Department offers non-licensure majors in Elementary Education and Education Studies. Contact the department for details. The department also offers a Special Education minor which is described at the end of this section. Students are assigned an Education Department program advisor upon request or at the outset of EDC coursework. All students are expected to become knowledgeable about programs and follow through with department policies. Handbooks outlining programs and policies are available through the Education Department and website. Student Teaching Abroad Selected Education Department students may participate in an international student teaching program. Those interested in further information should contact the Education Department at least one year prior to student teaching. Students 127 who teach abroad will do part of their student teaching in the Twin Cities area under direct Augsburg faculty supervision. In addition to gaining Education Department approval for student teaching abroad, students must apply through the Study Abroad and Study Away Office in the Center for Global Education and Experience.

Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence and allows us to frame human events within diverse world views. Those who study English typically believe that an intense concern for words, ideas, and images helps people understand who they are and who they can become. At the same time, the English Department’s emphasis on writing helps our students to clarify and share their thoughts. English relates closely to other majors. Like the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the contemplation of works of art. Like psychology and sociology, English is concerned with individual and group behavior. Like philosophy, English is interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning and language. Like science, English is interested in discovering order and determining structures. Like speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. Like history and the other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and in various cultures. Augsburg’s English Department integrates its programs with cultural opportunities available in this vital urban area. Plays, films, and readings are available near the campus, often within walking distance. English majors also have opportunities to use and refine their skills by working in internships on and off campus, tutoring English Language Learner (ELL) students, or tutoring in the Writing Lab. Students who complete an Augsburg English major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism, government, law, the ministry, library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions and businesses. English Faculty Robert Cowgill, Stephan Clark, Sarah Greenfield, Dallas Liddle, John Schmit, Lindsay Starck, Kathryn Swanson, Mzenga Wanyama (Chair) Degree and Major Requirements Choosing a Concentration Students majoring in English have the opportunity to choose one of three concentrations: literature, language, and theory; creative writing; and secondary licensure in communication arts/literature. While some of our courses explicitly address theoretical approaches to literature, especially those that examine race, class, and gender, all of our courses infuse these concerns in their engagement with primary works of fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, film, and drama. All literature classes involve students in multiple forms of literary examination and are taught by professors who love teaching and who love literature. Our classes develop and demand the skills of aesthetic receptivity, perceptive and critical reading, open and clear speaking, and analytical and engaging writing—skills of the educated and employable citizen. English Major with a Literature, Language, and Theory Concentration The Literature, Language, and Theory concentration provides students various approaches to the study of the written word and visual text. Spotlight courses focus on specific authors, genres, or themes, and enable the discovery of new literary experiences. Courses in African American, Native American, Asian American, and postcolonial literatures reconfigure the nature of traditional literary studies. Survey courses in English, American, and world literatures are organized by historical periods and provide a classically structured framework of study. Courses in literary theory demand the intense and intellectually challenging engagement of text, culture, and self. The Literature, Language, and Theory concentration offers courses of study cross-listed with American Indian Studies, Art, Communication Studies, Film, Theater, and Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies. 137 This concentration requires nine courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 including: ● ● ● ● One of ENL 220 or ENL 221 o ENL 220 - Intermediate Expository Writing o ENL 221 - Intermediate Expository Writing About the Arts At least two 200-level literature courses as prerequisites for upper division courses in English. No more than two 200-level literature courses may count for the major. At least five 300-level courses, with one each in British literature, American literature, and world literature. At least one 400-level course. Any 300-level course serves as a prerequisite for the 400-level. Literature, Language, and Theory Minor Five courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 are required, including: ● ● One of ENL 220 or ENL 221 o ENL 220 - Intermediate Expository Writing o ENL 221 - Intermediate Expository Writing About the Arts Four literature, language, and theory courses, three of which must be upper division courses. English Major with a Creative Writing Concentration The English Creative Writing concentration helps students develop professional writing skills by focusing their efforts in the creative modes: poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, playwriting, and screenwriting. Over the course of the major, students master terminology; engage the field’s aesthetic and ethical issues; and read and study the works of established writers. The creative writing concentration expands competencies in observation, research, and analysis that enable writers to gather and interpret material from a variety of sources and perspectives for their work; it attends particularly to the artistic aspects of the writer’s craft, such as form, affect, and revision. English majors in Creative Writing engage the interdisciplinary demands inherent in literary endeavors, including issues of design, and enhance their appreciation of the aesthetic possibilities inherent in the writing life. Creative Writing courses are taught by dedicated professors, who are themselves practicing writers.

Communication Arts/Literature Teacher Licensure Major The Communication Arts/Literature Teacher Licensure concentration is for students who seek to be licensed to teach communication arts/literature in Minnesota. Students are encouraged to take courses toward their major during the first and sophomore years and to apply for the education licensure program no later than the spring of their junior year. Students in both programs must work with advisors in the English Department and the Education Department in order to meet the professional requirements within the Education Department as well as the requirements for the major. Should licensure not be possible, graduation can be achieved through an English major, which requires at least two additional, specific courses, or through a communication studies major. Prerequisite: ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 Major Requirements (eight courses in English): ● ● ● ● ● ENL 220 - Intermediate Expository Writing ENL 240 - Introduction to Literary Study ENL 365 - Contemporary Post-Colonial Fiction ENL 380 - Introduction to the English Language ENL 396 - Internship in Teaching Writing 139 ● ● ● One upper division ENL British literature course One upper division ENL American literature course One additional ENL literature, language, or theory course chosen from ENL360, 361, 362, 367, 368, 371, 385, 394, 410, and 430 Experiential Requirement (no credit): One college-level experience required in forensics, debate, newspaper, literary journal, or related activity (subject to departmental approval) Additional Courses (outside the English Department): ● ● ● ● COM 111 - Public Speaking COM 254 - Interpersonal Communication COM 351 – Argumentation One of COM 120, COM 243, or POL 342 Special Methods (two courses): ● ● ESE 350 - 5-12 Methods: Literature and Reading ESE 351 - 5-12 Methods: Speaking and Listening Additional ESE and EDC courses are required for licensure. See the Education Department section for a listing of secondary education licensure requirements. In addition to consulting your designated ENL advisor, contact an Education Department advisor for information about education courses. Graduation Skills Graduation Skills in Critical Thinking (CT), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) are embedded throughout the offered courses and are met by completing the major. Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these skills. The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation skill is met with one of the following courses: HIS 369, MAT 111, MAT 145, MAT 146, MAT 163, MAT 164, NUR 410, PHI 230, PHY 119, POL 483, or the QR from a second major. Departmental Honors GPA of 3.5 in the major and 3.0 overall; submit proposal to department chair by early October in senior year for department approval. Submit and defend paper before faculty committee. Honors project may receive independent study credit (refer to departmental guidelines). MFA Master Class Option Upper-level students (Junior or Senior) with the recommendation of a creative writing instructor, a writing sample, and a GPA of 3.00 in English courses, and the permission of the MFA program director, may join a MFA summer residency course in their genre. Upon successful completion of the same residency requirements as graduate students, master class students will earn the same number of credits towards their Augsburg undergraduate degree (maximum 6 credits). Additionally, if they enroll in the Augsburg MFA program in the future, they will have satisfied the first of their three summer residency course requirements. The MFA Master Class Option is not repeatable. The MFA Master Class Option is open to undergrad students from other institutions as well as Augsburg University. Transfer Students Note: Transfer undergraduate English majors must take at least three of their English courses at Augsburg. Transfer students who minor in English must take at least two of their English courses at Augsburg. 140 Transfer English education students with a BA in English from another college must take at least three of their English courses at Augsburg (preferably upper division courses). These courses must be taken before the department can recommend a student for student teaching. The English Placement Test A writing sample is required of students to determine their placement in an appropriate writing class. Students having completed AP (Advanced Placement) courses in composition must have a score of 4 or 5. Students who need to develop competence in composition skills—such as stating and supporting a thesis, organizing clearly, and constructing paragraphs and sentences—are required to enroll in Effective Writing I (ENL 101) where they receive more individual instruction than is possible in Effective Writing II (ENL 111). These students must pass Effective Writing I (ENL 101) with a grade of P, C-, or higher before enrolling in Effective Writing II (ENL 111). Note: Students must register for ENL 101 during the first semester of attendance, if possible. ENL 111, 112, or HON 111 should be completed, if possible, during the first year. Students in Effective Writing I (ENL 101), Effective Writing II (ENL 111), HON 111, or ENL 112 can elect the traditional grading system or P/LP/N grading in consultation with their instructor up through the last week of class (without special permission/petition). Service Courses The department offers these service courses for students as required by a placement test. Literature, Language, and Theory Courses The 200-level courses in the literature, language, and theory track of the English major develop foundational competencies in reading and interpreting literary texts, and provide opportunities for diverse literary discovery. These courses require ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 as a prerequisite or co-requisite. Upper Level Courses The 300-level courses in the literature track in English concentrate on primary texts in historical and cultural contexts. These courses ask students to practice interpreting literary texts by employing techniques, terminology, and research methods of the discipline, resulting in effective and substantive expository writing about the subject. Unless otherwise indicated, students must take ENL 220 or 221 (see writing courses), or one 200-level literature, language, or theory course, or gain consent of the instructor as a prerequisite. The 400-level literature, language, and theory courses emphasize scholarship, criticism, and theory, and ask students to write and speak professionally about literary texts. Any 300-level literature course or permission of the instructor serve as a prerequisite for the 400-level. One 400-level course must fulfill the keystone requirement. Writing Courses Note: First day attendance in all writing courses is mandatory for a student to hold their place in the course.

Augsburg’s program focuses on the study of urban environmental justice, drawing on the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and professional studies to examine the interdependence between humans and the natural world. It provides an understanding of the ecological, social, and cultural processes and problems that bind that world together. Augsburg’s Environmental Studies students study the most pressing local, regional, national, and global issues of our day, and gain the knowledge and skills needed to go out into the world as problem-solvers and change agents. Augsburg University’s location in a diverse inner-city neighborhood adjacent to the Mississippi River offers an opportunity for the close study of complex urban environments and their relationship to wider ecological systems. Although many equate environmental issues with rural areas, most people live in cities. Urban residents shape nature in innumerable ways, including through energy, food, and water consumption; transportation; and industrial production. In turn, environmental injustice is often found in urban settings. With that in mind, Augsburg’s Environmental Studies program simultaneously studies ecological quality and social justice. The program provides undergraduate training leading to a BA or a minor in Environmental Studies. Upon completion of the program, students will be able to understand and analyze ecological processes, recognize the many and varied forms of nature in the city, distinguish stakeholders’ interests in policy debates, decipher the context and variety of human experiences in nature, identify inequities in the access to and use of natural resources, and articulate responses grounded in multiple disciplinary insights to current urban environmental challenges. Drawing on their experiences in settings as diverse as the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, the upper Mississippi River Valley, and Mexico, graduates of the program pursue vocations in nonprofit organizations, government policy and planning positions, law and graduate school, education, ministry, and corporate settings.

There’s nothing more human than to wonder about how and why things came to be. Understanding the past helps us make sense of the present. It also helps us to envision different futures. We cultivate a critical understanding of past and present that will help students become thoughtful, informed, and engaged participants in the world. Students who major in history ask careful questions, consider multiple perspectives, analyze information, see experiences in context, and use their imagination. In doing so, they hone the mindset necessary for success in the 21st century. They enrich their own lives and develop the skills to help them make significant contributions to the broader world. After all, history is to a community what memory is to an individual—it is the foundation of identity. History majors and minors learn how to read critically, write clearly, and speak thoughtfully. This empowers them to pursue life-long vocations in a wide range of for-profit and non-profit venues. Traditionally, history graduates found careers in law, education, or cultural institutions. Today, they also work in media and communication, management, manufacturing, information technology, administration, finance, social services, data management, and sales. Many pursue advanced degrees—not only in history, law, and education, but also in public policy, the health professions, and business. History Faculty Michael J. Lansing (Chair), Jacqueline deVries, William Green, Maheen Zaman Degree and Major Requirements History Major Students must complete HIS 200, HIS 300, HIS 400, and six HIS electives (defined below).

A. in Interdisciplinary Studies degree includes the following requirements: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● A student must complete at least 40 credits for the major. Within the 40 credit minimum, a student must complete 24 credits of 300- or 400-level courses and can only include 4 credits of 200-level language courses. A student must select at least one concentration field of study and take at least 20 credits (including 12 credits at a 300- or 400-level) from that field of study (those from a single course prefix, for example AIS, or courses that are typically part of a major in that field). If a student elects to have two concentration fields of study, the student will take 20 credits (including 12 credits at a 300- or 400-level) from each of two fields of study (will have 20 credits from each of two different course prefixes). A student must also complete all core and signature curriculum requirements. A student must complete a capstone and/or keystone as a culminating experience. (Credits for KEY 490 are not included in the 40 credit total.) Options include: o A capstone/keystone course in one of their concentration disciplines; o An internship or faculty mentored research and KEY 490; or o An independent study capstone experience and KEY 490. A student must compile a portfolio of learning experiences that demonstrate the achievement of each of the selected learning outcomes. A template for the portfolios will be developed by the faculty committee proposing this major in consultation with the Director of Assessment and the Director of General Education. The name of the major noted on the transcript will be Interdisciplinary Studies, and the concentration(s) will be noted on the transcript. The faculty mentor will assist the student in determining which of the institutional learning outcomes align with the proposed major. Each major will include at least 3 institutional student learning outcomes. a. use appropriate methods to gather and analyze evidence, identify underlying assumptions, and evaluate competing claims b. construct coherent, polished and persuasive arguments, narratives and explications in written, oral and other formats c. critically engage their own beliefs and articulate their gifts and goals for meaningful life and work in a pluralistic context d. identify the broad foundations for sustainable living and apply them in demonstrable ways e. employ the fundamental principles of quantitative literacy to arrive at thoughtful judgments articulate and solve problems in creative, analytical, and integrative ways f. engage their communities and demonstrate a sense of agency to create change in ethical and informed ways g. explain diverse positions and collaborate effectively across social, cultural and geographic differences in local and global contexts All Interdisciplinary Studies majors will include the following learning outcome. h. demonstrate the ability to apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate theories and/or concepts from one or more fields studied in depth The student will work with one faculty member as their advisor and get input from other faculty as needed to develop a major plan. Specialized training will be developed for faculty mentors who are working with students in this major developed with input from Academic Advising, the Director of General Education, and the Director of Assessment. Having one faculty mentor will ensure the consistency of the information for the student and can be accommodated by our current academic management software. The major plan will be approved by the advisor, the department chair of each concentration, and the Dean of Arts and Sciences or the Dean of Professional Studies before submission to the Registrar. 155 International Relations International Relations is an interdisciplinary major which provides students with the basis for informed global citizenship, preparing them for graduate study or careers in foreign service, nonprofit organizations, or international business. Students focus on a discipline or geographic area of the world. The program consists of a core of seven courses and six electives chosen from a wide list of offerings at Augsburg and other colleges. Students are encouraged to consider foreign study opportunities; most of our majors do study abroad at some point during their time at Augsburg. Competency in one foreign language is required, and some students study two languages. All majors complete a significant senior research project and thesis on a topic of their own choosing, such as immigration, conflict resolution, economic development, or climate change. The goal of the program is to give students a broad exposure to international studies with considerable freedom to choose options for specialization. Students often combine this major with a second major in History, Political Science, International Business, or a foreign language. Numerous combinations of majors and minors are possible with the international relations major.

The department is committed to the view that education should go beyond career preparation and that familiarity with the language and culture of another people is an essential step in the development of a truly global perspective. The department offers language, literature, and culture courses leading to a major in Spanish, an interdisciplinary major in Cross-Cultural Studies, and minors in French, German, or Spanish. Introductory courses in Latin, Dakota, Ojibwe, Hmong, and American Sign Language are offered at Augsburg, and courses in Ancient Greek, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Portuguese are available to Augsburg students through Augsburg’s four partner institutions in the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) consortium. Knowledge of several languages, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, is essential in preparing for careers in second-language education and translation, but also represents a valuable special qualification in many other professions. Students anticipating careers in international business, law, social work, the diplomatic corps, the health professions, or the ministry may wish to take a second major or minor in languages. In addition, a minor in languages is a valuable research tool for those intending to pursue graduate study in most academic disciplines.

Math Placement Group (MPG) Before enrolling in any Mathematics course and many other courses that have Math Placement prerequisites, students must have the required Math Placement. All students are required to have their Math Placement Group (MPG) determined. MPG measures students’ current skill in and understanding of Basic Math (MPG 2), Algebra (MPG 3), Precalculus (MPG 4), and Calculus I (MPG 5). Students who have taken the ACT test within the last five years are assigned an initial MPG based on their mathematics subscore, illustrated below. Students who have recently completed a mathematics course at another college or university are assigned an initial MPG by the Registrar’s Office as part of Transfer Credit Evaluation, if the course covers Basic Math, Algebra, Precalculus, or Calculus. Students who receive a grade of 4 or 5 on the Advanced Placement Exam in Calculus (AB or BC) are assigned MPG 5. Students are allowed to take the Math Placement Exam to determine if they should be placed into a higher MPG than their initial placement. In particular, students whose initial placement is MPG 1 or MPG 2 are expected to take the Math Placement Exam. All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Exam, which is administered by Academic Advising. The exam is given during Summer Orientation and Registration (SOAR) sessions for first-year students, and before new student registration appointments for transfer and AU students. Other times can be scheduled on an individual basis. Students are also permitted to retake the Math Placement Exam once during their first semester of enrollment at Augsburg University. Practice questions and other information are available from Academic Advising. Students in MPG 1 take MAT 103 to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 take MAT 105 or MAT 106 to advance to MPG 3. Students in MPG 3 may take MAT 114 to advance to MPG 4. No other MAT course changes a student’s MPG. ACT Math Subscore Initial Math Placement Required Math Placement Exam 18 and below MPG 1 Basic Math; Algebra 19-21 MPG 2 Algebra 22-23 MPG 2 Algebra 24-25 MPG 3 No exam needed 22-25 and successful high school precalculus, trigonometry, or calculus MPG 3 Precalculus (if seek MPG 4) 26+ and successful high school precalculus, trigonometry, or calculus MPG 4 No exam needed For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 171 Medieval Studies Minor The objective of Medieval Studies is to introduce students to the culture of the Middle Ages—its diverse history and beliefs, its arts and literature, its legacy to the modern period —and to the disciplinary and interdisciplinary skills necessary for its serious study.

Such work could include, but is not limited to, one of the following: defending a senior thesis, presenting an additional recital, composing a substantial piece(s), conducting a program, presenting a research paper, or some combination of any of the above. 181 Consideration for departmental honors requires a clearly written proposal that includes a project title, a transcript, and a brief music résumé to be submitted to the music faculty by November 1 of the senior year with outlined plans to complete the project by spring break of the senior year. Piano Proficiency All Augsburg Music majors are required to have basic piano skills that are either demonstrated by passing MUS 238 or by meeting the standard required by the Piano Proficiency Test offered at the end of each semester. Students come to Augsburg with a wide variety of prior training and experience in piano, and therefore can elect to develop their piano skills and prepare for the proficiency test in several ways. Students with extensive training may be able to simply pass the test; those with some training may register for private piano lessons; the majority of students are advised to take a piano placement test that determines their appropriate placement within a sequence of four class piano courses (MUS 135/136/237/238) designed to teach the skills of the piano proficiency test. To maximize student learning, it is strongly recommended that piano training is started during the first year, when piano study will complement and strengthen the student’s experience in the music theory and aural skills curriculum. Consult the Music Student Handbook for piano major and non-piano major requirements and test dates. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 182 Natural Science Teaching Licensure The Natural Science licensure program is designed to combine a strong content focus with early and ongoing teaching preparation courses that meet Minnesota licensure requirements. Courses are designed to provide a broad background in science and allow for specialization in an area. The following programs assume that the student will meet the general education requirements of the university, the requirements for appropriate majors, required education courses (see Secondary Education requirements), and, in the physical sciences, have at least one year of calculus. Early consultation with the Education Department (in your sophomore year) is essential to complete undergraduate major and licensure requirements on a timely basis. Degree and Major Requirements Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog. Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Education Department to identify current licensure requirements. All upper division courses required for the Biology major must be completed before student teaching. Licensure Requirements General Science Endorsement (for grades 5-8): Introductory Geology (taken off campus, offered through ACTC program) ● SCI 106 - Introductory Meteorology ● BIO 121 - Human Biology ● BIO 102 - The Biological World ● Complete PHY 116 or both PHY 121 and PHY 122 (see advisor before registering for physics) o PHY 116 - Introduction to Physics o PHY 121, 122 - General Physics I, II ● CHM 115 - General Chemistry I ● CHM 116 - General Chemistry II *See the Biology, Chemistry, or Physics Department sections for teaching major requirements in those disciplines. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 183 Nursing (BSN) Bachelor of Science Completion The Augsburg University BSN Completion program is designed exclusively for registered nurses (RNs) who want to advance their education, increase their career opportunities, and address changing health needs in a variety of rapidly changing care settings and communities. The BSN program at Augsburg prepares nurses to synthesize knowledge from the liberal arts with the art and science of nursing. Educational opportunities are provided that challenge students’ interests and engage their creativity as they increase skills in critical thinking, speaking, writing, ethics, nursing theories, community assessment, leadership, decision-making and the role of citizen nurse. Classes that combine short-term immersion experiences of study both at home and abroad are woven into the BSN curriculum. Students are invited to participate in these exciting endeavors as they are able. Department of Nursing Faculty Martha Aleman, Kaija Freborg, Kristin McHale, Joyce Miller (Chair), Katherine Martin Staff: Colleen Hagerman Mission Within the context of the liberal arts and Christian values, the baccalaureate in nursing program prepares students to uphold and improve health and human potential among persons, families, groups and communities across care settings with particular emphasis on health inequities locally and globally. Program Goals The program goals at the baccalaureate level: ● ● ● Prepare graduates of associate degree and diploma nursing programs for professional nursing practice in contemporary and emerging roles. Provide a sound scholarly foundation for transformative nursing practice and graduate study. Create and sustain a teaching-learning environment that promotes personal growth, lifelong learning, and a vocation of professional service in a global society. Degree and Major Requirements Nursing Major, BSN Seven 4-semester credit hour courses, including: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● NUR 300 - Trends and Issues in Nursing NUR 305 - Communication NUR 306 - Paradigms in Nursing NUR 403 - Families and the Life Cycle NUR 410 - Community Health Nursing I NUR 411 - Practicum: Community Health Nursing II NUR 490 - Leadership/Management A minimum grade of C in each nursing course and a cumulative major GPA of 2.5 are required. Students also must complete Augsburg’s residence and general education requirements. Graduation Skills The Critical Thinking (CT), Quantitative Reasoning (QR), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) graduation skills are embedded throughout the required courses in the Nursing major and are met by completing the major. 184 Students petitioning to transfer in upper division nursing courses from another institution to meet requirements in the nursing major at Augsburg must consult a nursing advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these graduation skills. Other Information The BSN program has been planned so that courses in the nursing major can be completed over 16 months of full-time study taking two courses per semester. Students can pursue their studies as quickly as 12 months taking three courses per semester, based on personal choice. More time may be required to complete the total course of study depending on the number of liberal arts (general education) courses individual students need to complete the BSN degree and the number of credits each student transfers to Augsburg University from other colleges or universities. Students need 36 upper division courses to graduate. Students in Nursing may take non-nursing courses in both the Day and Adult Undergraduate programs. Students will be assigned to a nursing faculty adviser to develop a plan of study. Admission to the Nursing Major In addition to meeting admission requirements for Augsburg, admission to the Nursing major requires the following: ● ● ● ● ● ● An earned associate of science degree in nursing Cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher in one’s basic nursing program Unencumbered RN license–applicant must be a registered nurse who is licensed and currently registered to practice in Minnesota prior to beginning the Nursing major Up-to-date immunization records Criminal background check (details provided in application process) Special conditions: o Students may be provisionally admitted to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Augsburg with a cumulative GPA of less than 2.5 in their basic nursing program. Full admission to the program requires students to achieve a GPA of 3.00 or better in two liberal arts courses at Augsburg before being fully admitted to the BSN program. o Students may apply to Augsburg prior to completion of their associate nursing degree program. However, all BSN program admission requirements must be met prior to matriculating into the BSN program at Augsburg. Admissions are handled throughout the year. Students are admitted for fall, spring, or summer semesters. Credit for Previous Nursing Courses Registered nurses transferring into Augsburg’s BSN completion program will be awarded up to 34 semester credits in recognition of their previous lower division nursing coursework if the following standards are met: ● ● Prior nursing education in the United States is taken in an associate degree in nursing (ADN) program or a diploma in nursing program. Both must be state board-approved programs. Nursing coursework taken outside of the United States requires a professional credit evaluation. See the International Students section of this catalog for details about how to submit this evaluation. In addition, nursing coursework must be verified for authenticity by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS). Applicants must request CGFNS (www.cgfns.org) to forward the educational credentials report to the Minnesota State Board of Nursing. Once their credentials are verified, applicants must apply for licensure and demonstrate successful passing of the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). Nurses who have previously submitted CGFNS credential verification in a state other than Minnesota, and who have passed the NCLEX, will be considered for admission and must meet the same residency requirements expected of all students. Class Schedules Augsburg recognizes that nurses have a variety of time schedules, personal responsibilities, and work demands that must be taken into account in any decision to work toward a degree. For this reason, Augsburg offers full- and part-time sequential alternatives for pursuing a Nursing degree. 185 Courses in the Nursing major are generally offered on Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday evenings, and practicum courses (NUR 411) may require some additional weekday time. Generally, most nursing classes meet face to face 4 to 6 times a semester on weekday evenings for four-hour time blocks. However, instruction modalities vary: Some courses are offered face-to-face in classroom settings, while some courses are offered face-to-face instruction through the use of video conferencing, and then some courses are offered entirely with asynchronous online instruction. Activities also occur between face-to-face meeting times, so therefore weekly activities will occur. Optional immersion courses and practica at home and abroad are scheduled throughout the year. Students complete their community health practicum locally or have the opportunity to go to Pine Ridge, SD or abroad. Check with the Department of Nursing for details. It is recommended to work with an academic advisor for advice on liberal arts courses. Transfer of Upper Division Nursing Courses BSN students who are provisionally accepted into the Master of Arts in Nursing program at Augsburg may enroll in up to three designated MAN courses, which can be used to fulfill elective credits in the BSN program as well as fulfill credits in the MAN program. Note that these graduate courses may not transfer into another college or university as graduate courses if they have been used to complete the BSN; Augsburg University, however, accepts the courses as also fulfilling requirements in the MAN. The three graduate Nursing courses plus the practica include the following: NUR 500 - Transcultural Health Care (3 semester credits) NUR 500P - Practicum: Transcultural Health Care (1 semester credit) NUR 532 - Transcultural Healing and Self Care (3 semester credits) NUR 532P - Practicum: Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (1 semester credit) NUR 541 - The Politics of Health Care (3 semester credits) NUR 541P - Practicum: Politics of Health Care (1 semester credit) Note: Students who decelerate for more than five years may be asked to audit courses already taken. There is a fee to audit courses. Departmental Honors Admission to the honors major requires a GPA of at least 3.60 in the major and 3.30 overall, application to the department chair by November 1 of the senior year, recommendation by nursing faculty, and an honors thesis to be presented before a faculty committee by April 15. Candidates register for NUR 499 to complete the honors requirement. Latin Honors To be eligible for Latin honors, a student must meet minimum GPA standards as well as complete a minimum of 56 traditionally-graded credits at Augsburg. For further information, see the Latin Honors section in Academic Information. Accreditation The baccalaureate degree program in nursing/master’s degree program in nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice program at Augsburg University are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, 655 K Street NW, Suite 750, Washington, DC 20001, (202) 887-6791.

Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles that describe and govern all physical aspects of the universe. Historically called “natural philosophers,” physicists investigate by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical analysis. Physics includes the study of systems ranging from sub-atomic particles to the largest galaxies and from the relative stillness of near absolute zero to the fiery activity of stars. Physics plays an important role in many of the liberal arts disciplines and contributes to society’s understanding of such areas as energy, weather, medical science, and space exploration. A good background in physics (and the associated problem solving skills obtained therein) will prepare you well for a multitude of careers. Recognizing the importance of physics in contemporary life and the need to keep abreast of rapid technological advances, the department strives to give students not only an understanding of basic concepts, but also insights into recent developments. A rigorous major provides students with the preparation required for graduate study in physics. It also provides flexibility, serving as a stepping stone to advanced work in related areas such as astronomy, engineering, materials science, atmospheric science and meteorology, oceanography, biophysics, environmental science, and the medical and health-related fields. The department serves the liberal arts by offering courses for non-science students that enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science. These courses provide the basis for further study and enable students to follow new developments in science with heightened awareness and comprehension. The department administers Augsburg University’s portion of funds designated for the Minnesota Space Grant College Consortium, funded by NASA. It also maintains active research programs through its Center for Atmospheric and Space Sciences and the Sverdrup Laboratory for Biophysics, with support from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and other private and public sources. Several students work as research assistants in these efforts during the academic year and in the summer. Cooperative education, internship, and undergraduate research programs provide opportunities for students to apply their knowledge and problem-solving skills in practical situations in industrial, governmental, and academic settings.

As an integral part of a liberal arts education, psychology contributes to the understanding of individual and group behavior. The study of psychology equips students to understand and use the scientific method to think creatively and critically beyond the classroom. To prepare students for graduate study and work in psychology, the major emphasizes the complementary components of a strong foundation in research and theoretical work with the application of knowledge and skills in coursework, research experiences, and internships within the community. The curriculum’s emphasis on the experiential dimensions of learning and the integration of liberal arts and professional domains prepares students for careers in many settings including business, education, social services, research, law, government, religious institutions, and medicine. Faculty members in the Department of Psychology have varied professional specializations including clinical, counseling, neurobiological, developmental, social, cognitive, and industrial/organizational psychology as well as expertise in psychological applications to health, law, and public policy. Students may tap this expertise through a variety of learning experiences including group and individual projects, Psi Chi Honor Society, and faculty-student research teams.

All three of these disciplines ask and engage deep questions about the meaning, purpose, and reality of life for individuals and for communities. The Department of Religion and Philosophy affirms that human inquiry regarding basic religious, theological, philosophical, and ethical questions shapes public life. In a similar way, public life shapes the human quest for meaning and identity. The religion and philosophy programs at Augsburg think historically, respectfully, and critically about these matters. The Department of Religion and Philosophy grounds, provokes, empowers, problematizes, collaborates, and nurtures the critical investigation of faith, religion, identity, ethics, vocation, truth (epistemology), and spiritual inquiry. We do this critical work as a community of learners, faculty and students together, in the following ways: ● ● ● ● ● ● We ground our conversations in sacred texts, historic documents, and contemporary writings as well as in specific locations, among real people, with lived experiences and concrete issues. We provoke questions of truth, meaning, and identity and investigate how these claims interact with and inform public life. We empower one another to question our own beliefs, practices, ethics, and understanding of vocation, and to inquire, respectfully and critically, about the claims of others. We problematize and challenge religious and philosophical claims from a variety of social locations and diverse perspectives. We collaborate across faiths and philosophies, across academic departments, and with off-campus faith-based and humanist communities to create learning, research, and service opportunities. We nurture our community of learners by raising and reflecting on personal questions of meaning, identity, values, vocation, and spirituality. Religion Faculty Lori Brandt Hale (Chair), Mary Lowe, Matthew Maruggi, Jeremy Myers, Iva Patel, Philip Quanbeck II, and Hans Wiersma Philosophy Faculty David Apolloni, Larry Crockett Majors The Religion and Philosophy Department offers majors in Religion, Philosophy, Theology and Public Leadership, and Computational Philosophy. General Education Requirements RLN 100: Religion, Vocation, and the Search for Meaning I Augsburg embraces a world of many cultures, beliefs, and traditions. This introductory course invites students into that engagement between religious commitment and the world through an exploration of vocation, pluralism, and diversity. The course encounters the search for meaning through the narratives of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and encourages students to consider their own religious, philosophical, and ethical commitments in dialogue with other perspectives. Course related texts, activities, and experiences foster critical thinking and inquiry. Religion, Vocation, and the Search for Meaning II For their second required Religion course, students may choose from a wide range of courses that build on the foundational themes established in RLN 100 and continue the exploration of vocation, the search for meaning, and role of religion in public life in the context of particular issues, topics, and people. These courses focus the study of Religion through a specific topic or issue from the broad field of Religion and its connection to Public Life in a variety of social, cultural, and historical settings. One option, RLNEL 200: Religion, Vocation, and the Search for Meaning II, develops 200 themes from RLNEL 100, including vocation, culture, pluralism, and interreligious dialogue. Other courses are described in the course listings. Any course taken in fulfillment of this requirement may count toward a potential Religion major or minor. Degree and Major Requirements Religion Major, BA Courses offered toward a major in Religion highlight the theme of Religion in Public Life in four concentrations: 1) Culture and Society, 2) History and Theology, 3) Sacred Texts and Narratives, 4) Global Religions and Interfaith Studies. Students majoring in Religion may choose one of these areas as a concentration for their degree by completing four courses within the concentration out of the 8 total courses (32 credit hours) required for the major. Many students choose to add religion as a second major. Examples of double majors include students in biology, sociology, and history. The Religion major prepares students to think critically, read analytically, write clearly, and speak confidently— skills that make our graduates attractive to graduate schools and employers in any field. Major/Concentration/Minor Requirements Religion Major: 8 courses (beyond RLN 100/300; including RLN 209, RLN 400) Concentration within the major: Minimum 4 courses in the concentration Religion Minor: 4 courses (beyond RLN 100; can include RLN 209, RLN 400) Concentrations Students majoring in Religion can pursue one of the four concentrations listed below.

Students in this major are equipped with the necessary theological and theoretical frameworks, leadership skills and servant hearts to lead a variety of communities in their expression of faith and their work for justice in the world. This happens through the disciplined study of theology, scripture, the social sciences, and ministry. A distinctive element of the major is the combination of practical and theological training: students have many opportunities to apply knowledge and skills in specific ministry contexts, including a supervised internship. Graduates of this program work in the areas of youth ministry, congregational ministry, community organizing, public policy and advocacy, nonprofits and graduate school. Our vision is a generation of Christian leaders equipped to lead the Christian church into the public square for the common good. Students in this program earn a Bachelor of Arts in Theology and Public Leadership and combine this degree with a concentration, minor or second major in an area of interest. A Word about Youth and Family Ministry: For decades, Augsburg University has been a leader in the field of youth and family ministry. The Youth and Family Ministry degree program has a long and storied history of pushing the envelope with cutting edge approaches to ministry. This new version of the degree program stands proudly on that storied past.

Students considering a career in social studies education should consult the Augsburg Education Department and the Social Studies coordinator by the beginning of their sophomore year. Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. Students should consult with the Augsburg Education Department to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 206 Social Work Professional social work is for students who have the desire to better the lives of people and communities through the empowerment of individuals and advancement of social justice. Social workers are licensed professionals who work in various sectors of society. You will find social workers in nearly all major social settings from clinics and hospitals, to schools, non-profit organizations, faith communities and government entities. Augsburg’s nationally-accredited social work program immerses students in the skills and theories of social work and interweaves that body of knowledge with biology, psychology, sociology, economics, statistics, and political science. The curriculum prepares you for multicultural professional social work through two different year-long field placements in a range of human service agencies during the junior and senior year. Students graduating with this major will receive a Bachelor of Science in Social Work degree (BSW). The degree qualifies you to sit for the national social work licensing exam and allows you to be licensed in any state in the US as a Licensed Social Worker.. Students interested in a graduate degree in social work are encouraged to apply to our Master of Social Work program (MSW). The undergraduate degree provides transferable credits toward the foundation year of an MSW program, reducing the number of credits needed. Both the undergraduate and graduate Social Work programs are accredited by the national accrediting body, the Council on Social Work Education. For more information about the MSW program, consult the Graduate Catalog.

Social Work Course Sequence The Social Work major offers two ways to begin the degree: SWK 100 is for those students interested in the breadth of the profession; SWK 210 is for students whose interest is in environmental justice and social change strategies. Both courses are equal as introductions to the major. Each course features an experiential learning component. Social Work upper-level courses (300s and 400s) are taught in a two-year sequence. Courses are taught once a year and are required to be taken sequentially. Students move through the program in a cohort allowing for deep peer relationships and strong connections to faculty. Social Work Study Abroad Opportunities All social work students are encouraged to study abroad at some point in their academic career. Through The Center for Global Education and Experience, the BSW program offers an award-winning semester study abroad program in Cuernavaca, Mexico. The Social Work department also offers a rotating selection of faculty-led, short courses to countries such as China, Slovenia, South Africa, Mexico, and India. Students are also encouraged to study abroad for elective credit. No credit for non-academic work In accordance with national social work accreditation standards, the Social Work Department cannot grant credit for life experience or previous work experience. Departmental Honors The Social Work Department offers eligible students the opportunity to earn departmental honors through the completion of an applied or scholarly project during a student's senior year. Students may apply for departmental honors if they have earned and maintained an overall GPA of 3.50 and maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.60 in all Social Work classes at the 300-level and above. Honors applicants may take up to two non-social work courses as P/LP/N (pass/low pass/no credit) and must complete a minimum of 56 traditionally-graded Augsburg credits. Departmental honors requires the successful completion of a paper or project designed to demonstrate a deep and critical understanding of one area in the field of social work. A faculty mentor will guide and supervise work on this paper or project. Please consult with your faculty mentor or the BSW Program Director for complete details and deadlines. Social Work Honor Society Phi Alpha Omicron Delta is the Augsburg University chapter of the national social work honor society. Phi Alpha fosters high standards of education for social workers and invites into membership those who have attained excellence in scholarship and achievement in social work. The national honor society requirements allow membership to juniors and seniors who have completed at least one semester in the social work program and who rank in the top 33 percent of student cumulative GPA’s. Invitations are sent in the spring of each year. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 209 Sociology Sociology is the scientific study of society and social interaction in groups. Our examination of human social organization provides the opportunities to improve the world we have created and in which we collectively live. The sociological perspective provides an important way to critically understand how human beings come to think and act as they do in a variety of social contexts. The goal of the Sociology Department is to guide students in gaining knowledge of social processes and the social order, how it affects them in their daily lives, and how it can be applied to future careers. Sociology majors develop an understanding of theories of society and social groups, learn to create and use scientific tools of analysis, and employ sociological concepts to solve social problems. We encourage students to use Augsburg’s urban and international settings (through study abroad) as a laboratory for learning. Internships enable our majors to draw upon sociological theories and research skills while they explore different career paths. Students also may take an independent study, special topics course, or field study toward that end. The major in Sociology has equipped our alumni with the analytical skills to understand and function more effectively in the social world as professionals and citizens. The Sociology major provides a highly versatile knowledge base of research, analytical, writing, and critical thinking skills. Augsburg Sociology alumni are currently employed in the nonprofit sector (for example, as analysts, counselors, community organizers, and lobbyists). They work in the criminal justice field (as lawyers, police and probation officers). They can also be found in offices of Human Resources, conducting research for corporations, as well as teaching at universities as professors of sociology. The Sociology major also provides excellent preparation for advanced study in areas such as law, human services, counseling, social work, urban planning, and ministry. Sociology Faculty Nancy Fischer (Chair), Lars Christiansen (Emeritus), Garry Hesser (Emeritus), Diane Pike, Tim Pippert, James VelaMcConnell Degree and Major Requirements Sociology Major Sociology has a long-standing tradition as an intellectually challenging undergraduate major that produces a sound foundation for a number of fields from human services to criminal justice to business to public service. The Sociology major at Augsburg provides a clearly organized curriculum that is intellectually engaging, develops concepts and theories over the course of the major, and builds a highly useful set of important skills including: abstract thinking, writing, critical analysis, research design, integration of theory, and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data, and the connection between of the individual and collective perspectives reflected in the sociological imagination. The five core courses intentionally develop those skills in our students. The electives allow students to focus on content areas and develop additional courses related to areas of career interest. The major includes a total of 10 courses: five required core courses and five electives, at least three of which are upper division courses from the specified list below. Majors must have a C- or higher in each required core course (SOC 121, 362, 363, 485, and 490) to receive credit in the major, and at least a cumulative 2.00 GPA in courses counting toward the major. Core courses (complete all five): ● ● ● ● ● SOC 121 - Introduction to Sociology SOC 362 - Statistical Analysis SOC 363 - Research Methods SOC 485 - Sociological Theory SOC 490 - Senior Seminar and Keystone 210 Five elective courses, at least three of which must be upper division: ● ● Lower division elective options o SOC 111 - City Life: Introduction to Urban Sociology o SOC 231 - Family Systems: Cross Cultural Perspectives o SOC 240 - Protest and Social Change: The Sociology of Social Movements o SOC 265 - Race, Class and Gender o SOC 266 - Sociology of Love, Intimacy, and Sexuality o SOC 277 - Introduction to Criminology o SOC 290 - Cultures of Violence o SOC 299 - Directed Study Upper division elective options (minimum of three required; SOC121 prerequisite) o SOC 320 - Sociology of Law o SOC 349 - Organizations and Society: Understanding Nonprofits and Corporations o SOC 375 - Social Psychology o SOC 377 - Organizational Crime and Deviance o SOC 380 - Disaster and Resilience o SOC 381 - City and Regional Planning o SOC 387 - Juvenile Delinquency o SOC 390 - Social Problems Analysis o SOC 395 - Mental Illness and Society o SOC 399 - Internship o SOC 499 - Independent Study/Research Please note that Directed Studies and Independent Studies with Sociology faculty must be taken for 4 credits in order to count as electives for the major. Graduation Skills The Critical Thinking (CT), Quantitative Reasoning (QR), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) graduation skills are embedded throughout the offered courses and are met by completing the major. Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements. Interest Tracks In order to focus preparation for careers and further study, the Department offers interest tracks within the major. These interest tracks are: City and Community; Crime and Deviance; Law; Organizations; and Social Psychology. Interest tracks guide majors in selecting elective courses in a way that tailors their sociological training, experiences and skills. Working with an advisor, Sociology majors can design a pathway through the major that directs them toward particular careers or graduate work in criminal justice, law, organizational development, public relations, social services, and urban studies. Students who are interested in pursuing an interest track should discuss this with their advisor or the Sociology Department chair. A full description of each interest track may be found at the Sociology Department website, www.augsburg.edu/sociology. Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog. Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements. Departmental Honors To complete departmental honors in Sociology, the student must have a minimum GPA of 3.50 in the major and overall. See department chair and website for specific requirements. An application for departmental honors/graduation with distinction must be completed by spring of the junior year. 211 Minor Five courses including SOC 121 and at least two upper division courses taken at Augsburg University. Students are required to have a C- or higher in SOC 121 and at least a cumulative 2.00 GPA in courses counting toward the minor. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 212 Theater Theater is an ever-changing field that is important to understand in cultural and societal context. In our courses, productions, recitals, and artist series, the Theater Department explores both classical and new forms, examines global and local perspectives, and encourages in-depth creative exploration. Students are challenged to deepen their critical thinking abilities and to master professional skills while also exploring new approaches to theater through their studies in design, directing, performing, and playwriting. Students thoughtfully interrogate issues of cultural representation, diversity, and inclusion as they find and express their own creative visions. The program prepares them well to continue with their education and/or to become leaders in the field of theater and performance studies. The study of theater is firmly grounded in the liberal arts, integrating knowledge and principles from many academic and artistic disciplines, including literature, history, philosophy, religion, speech, art, music, and dance. Both the high quality curriculum and dramatic productions of our department offer valuable cross-disciplinary connections for students and the campus, while providing a solid base in classical, modern, and contemporary theater from various cultural traditions. In order to encourage non-majors to become involved in our department, we offer two Theater minors and welcome all Augsburg students to become involved in our productions. Augsburg’s location in the heart of a nationally recognized theater community makes it an ideal place to study theater. At Augsburg we create every opportunity for students to grow both as theater artists and scholars by encouraging connections between our campus and the greater arts community, and between theory and practice. Students have the opportunity to make these connections through course study, theatrical production work, participation in the Artist Series (an annual series of events featuring visiting theater professionals from the local community who work closely with students), and attendance at numerous professional productions throughout the Twin Cities. Augsburg productions are a valuable opportunity for students to enter into creative collaboration with faculty and professional artists-inresidence. We value and regard theater productions as a critical and vital laboratory for student learning and training, and we hold our productions to the highest standards of the profession. Many of the skills acquired by Theater majors or minors are valuable and transferable to other professions: collaboration, verbal and nonverbal communication, organization, critical thinking, leadership, creativity, and selfexpression. Involvement in theater can help prepare students for successful careers in law, education, business, communication, journalism, and many other fields, as well as in professional or academic theater, television, or film.

Urban Studies brings many different perspectives to the study of urban life. It is an interdisciplinary major where students use the tools of sociology, political science, political philosophy, history, environmental studies, art and architecture to understand metropolitan areas in terms of complex relationships that contribute to opportunities and challenges. The major is designed with experiences that utilize the city as our classroom, demonstrating the interplay of urban design, policy, and lived experience. Coursework often includes walking tours, site visits, and field research. Augsburg University’s Urban Studies program emphasizes the themes of planning urban, suburban, and rural areas to be more environmentally sustainable, promoting the health and civic engagement of citizens, and ways to achieve effective engagement in all aspects of city making. The Urban Studies major helps prepare students for careers and graduate work in community organizing, urban planning, public administration, environmental advocacy, sustainability and resilience planning, government service, social welfare and non-profit work, and architecture. All students participate in internships that reflect their career interests as part of their experience. Many students who major in Urban Studies often double-major in related disciplines such as Environmental Studies, Political Science or Sociology. If you’re interested in double-majoring, please consult the director of Urban Studies about how to best plan your academic schedule to accommodate both majors.

The minor is intended to supplement a student’s current course of study particularly if that student is considering child or youth work in the future. The courses in this minor will help students develop a constructive and critical lens for understanding how young people are viewed and treated within society and how young people interact with and construct meaning and culture. Students in this minor will also gain practical skills through hands-on experience working with children and youth in various settings. The underlying philosophy of the Youth Studies minor is one of youth empowerment. Young people are often targeted as a menace to society, but we see young people as gifted and empowered agents of positive change. Students in this minor will learn to take this approach to youth work into their chosen professions.
