continue to believe that you have rightly chosen Augsburg as the community in which you will spend time for the next
several years.
If you are studying this map to find out more about Augsburg College and an Augsburg education, welcome. I believe
you will find it not only tells you about the character and essence of our institution, but also about our mission of

About Augsburg
At Augsburg College, we believe that the college experience should be a time of exploration, of discovery, of new
experiences, and new possibilities. We also believe that a liberal arts education is the best preparation for living in the
fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not
only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate
effectively.
Discovering Your Gifts and Talents
The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg Core Curriculum—designed to prepare students to become
effective, informed, and ethical citizens. Through “Search for Meaning” courses, students explore their own unique gifts
and interests and find where their own talents intersect with the needs of our global society.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve for a lifetime: writing, speaking, critical
thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a few.
Thanks to Augsburg’s prime location in the heart of a thriving metropolitan area, many courses are able to offer rich and
varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer
community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense, the resources of the Twin Cities are an extended campus for
Augsburg students.
Selection from over 50 Majors
Augsburg’s Day program offers more than 50 majors—or you can create your own major, either on campus or through
the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). This five-college consortium allows Day Program students to take
courses on other campuses without additional charge while a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC consortium
includes Augsburg College, St. Catherine University, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the University of St.
Thomas.
The Weekend and Evening College (WEC) program offers 18 majors and a number of certificate programs.
Mission Statement
Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to
the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission:
Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible
leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its
life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the
faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by its urban and global settings.

History
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith
presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, WI, and
moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879.
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
August Weenaas was Augsburg’s first president (1869-1876). Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway—
Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian
Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such “college” studies that would prepare students for theological
study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students;
and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is also practical.
Augsburg’s next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to
church and community has been Augsburg’s theme for more than 140 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the democratic college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second president (1876-1907), required
students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early
expression to the concept of Augsburg’s motto, “Education for Service.”
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change
made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was
still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The Focus Changed
Traditional attitudes began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup, Jr. became president. He worked to
develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers.
Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of longtime dean of women, Gerda Mortensen.
The College’s mission assumed a double character: ministerial preparation together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life.
After World War II, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College
had become a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college program based on general
education requirements and elective majors. Full accreditation of the College was achieved in 1954.
A study in 1962 defined the College’s mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free
Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the
Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. Subsequently, the American Lutheran Church
merged with two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
A College in the City
Under the leadership of President Oscar A. Anderson (1963-1980), Augsburg became a vital and integral part of the city.
The College began to reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all students.
4
Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall, Urness Hall, Christensen Center, Ice Arena, and
Murphy Place.
Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg’s commitment to liberal arts education,
spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the
city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two
graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events,
increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell Family Library.
Dr. William V. Frame became president in August 1997 and retired in 2006. Under his leadership, the College sharpened
its identity as a college of the city, providing an education grounded in vocational calling that provides students both the
theoretical learning and the practical experience to succeed in a global, diverse world.
Dr. Paul C. Pribbenow became president in July 2006. Under his leadership, the College aims to educate students of all
ages—in the midst of a great city—to be faithful citizens of the world.

Augsburg Today
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed:
•
•
•
An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church.
Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative,
and successful citizens.
The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg
students.
The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.
Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg
prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society.
In addition to Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences, Augsburg offers numerous master’s
degree programs as well as a doctoral program in nursing practice. For information about graduate programs, go to
www.augsburg.edu/grad.
Undergraduate and graduate education is offered in a variety formats. In addition to its Minneapolis campus, Augsburg
has a branch campus in Rochester, MN.
Day Program
Augsburg’s Day Program (DAY) provides an educational opportunity for students who want to earn a bachelor’s degree
in a traditional weekday format.
Weekend and Evening College
Augsburg’s Weekend and Evening College (WEC) provides an educational opportunity for adults who want to earn a
bachelor’s degree and work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women can
gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas
of the liberal arts and professional studies.
Weekend and Evening College began in 1982 with 69 students taking courses in three majors. Eight courses were
offered in the first term. Today, with approximately 1,000 students enrolled each semester and 18 majors in the liberal
arts and professional studies, WEC is one of the largest programs of its type among Minnesota private colleges.
The Non-Traditional Student
Augsburg’s Weekend and Evening College is based on the assumption that non-traditional students are mature, selfdisciplined, and motivated learners who seek a combination of classroom experience and individual study. Each course
includes periods of concentrated, on-campus study as well as time for independent study and class preparation.
Alternate Weekends
To meet the needs of non-traditional students, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three-and-a-half to
four hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning or Saturday afternoon. Laboratory sections or additional class
hours may be scheduled during the week. WEC students may take from one to four courses each semester. The WEC
academic year is divided into three semesters (fall, spring, and summer).
A Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s Weekend and Evening College is participation in a community of non-traditional
learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To
facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages WEC students to make use of College facilities, such
as Lindell Library, and to participate in academic and co-curricular activities, such as the student newspaper, travel
seminars, student organizations, fine arts events, networking events, workshops, and convocations. The WEC student
body elects its own leaders through the WEC Student Senate.
6
Augsburg continues its tradition of innovation to meet the needs of non-traditional students by creating new programs,
and providing faculty and staff development in teaching and serving non-traditional students.
Weekend and Evening College Faculty
The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and the WEC faculty are full-time Augsburg professors as well as
adjunct faculty who bring professional experience to their teaching. Most faculty hold a doctorate or other terminal
degree, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activities at the College. Professors are involved in social,
professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are
actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and
learning techniques and theories.
Weekend and Evening College’s small classes facilitate the College’s tradition of close involvement between professors
and students. Faculty act as academic advisors and participate regularly in campus activities.
Rochester Campus
Augsburg’s branch campus in Rochester was established in 1998 as a natural extension of the College’s mission and its
expertise in teaching working adults. A variety of undergraduate majors are offered.
The Rochester campus classrooms and offices are located at Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA), a few blocks south of the
heart of the city, which is home to about 100,000 residents. It is a city that enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior
technological resources.
Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a semester schedule with classes taking place on weekday evenings and on
occasional Saturdays, making them accessible to working adults. In addition to the half-dozen degree programs that can
be completed entirely in this location, students may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of
Rochester-based courses and courses taken in the Day or WEC program in Minneapolis.
Students at the Rochester campus are Augsburg College students. They are supported through an array of e-learning
resources ranging from access to Lindell Library databases to the use of online course management software.
Information about the Rochester campus is available at www.augsburg.edu/rochester or by calling the Rochester office
at 507-288-2886.
College of the Third Age
Augsburg demonstrates its commitment to lifelong learning in part through its College of the Third Age. College of the
Third Age is a teaching-learning service founded more than 30 years ago to serve older adults by encouraging lifelong
learning, fostering interactive discussion, and introducing new topics and subjects related to an ever-changing world. A
roster of more than 25 retired, semi-retired, and working professors teach non-credit seminars for the program, based
upon their areas of expertise.
College of the Third Age partners with organizations and facilities that serve older adults in the Twin Cities metropolitan
area, including churches, synagogues, community centers, and senior residences. The current catalog lists more than
200 classes available for group study at partner organizations and facilities. To obtain further information about the
program or to request a catalog, call 612-330-1139 or visit www.augsburg.edu/thirdage.
Campus Location
Augsburg College 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

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 College is required to give notice of the various rights accorded to
students pursuant to FERPA. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following:
Right to inspect and review education records
You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg
College. The student must request to review their education records in writing with their signature. The College will
respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request.
Right to request amendment of education records
You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate,
misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that
the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records according to your request.
Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information
You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information
contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize

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 College without notification of the request or disclosure to the
student.
Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider

www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts/.
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 online payment plan.
Augsburg College will not release student academic transcripts or graduation diplomas/certificates until all student
accounts are paid in full or, in the case of student loan funds administered by the College (Federal Perkins Student Loan),
are current according to established repayment schedules and the loan entrance and exit interviews have been
completed.
Refund Schedule
Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based on the
appropriate refund schedule. Financial aid may also be adjusted for those students who withdraw from the College or
drop one or more courses and receive financial assistance.
For further information view our refund policy online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/tuition-and-credit-refund/.
Students may appeal refund decisions through the Financial Petition Committee. Petition forms are available online
through the Registrar’s Office website.
Students who wish to withdraw from Augsburg should complete the Withdrawal from College form available online
through the Registrar’s Office website. It must be filled out completely, signed and turned in to the Enrollment Center.
Students who properly withdraw or change to part-time, who are dismissed, or who are released from a housing
contract will have their accounts adjusted for tuition and/or room in accordance with the terms of their housing contract
and/or the appropriate tuition refund schedule.
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, the refund will
include the normal refund percentage (based on the regular refund schedule). Requests for medical refunds should be
made through the Financial Petition Committee. Petition forms are available through the Registrar’s Office website. This
extra medical refund will be considered upon submission of documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead,
verifying the medical circumstances.
18
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 charges for the term
dropped. The administrative cancellation fee is $300.
Financial Aid
All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must establish financial aid eligibility on an annual basis.
This includes completing the application process as outlined below and making satisfactory academic progress. In order
to maintain eligibility in financial aid programs, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the
attainment of their degree or certificate as stipulated in the College catalog and as published on the Academic Progress
Standards for Financial Aid Recipients webpage, www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/sap-policy/.
Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work
opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid
programs. During the 2012-2013 academic year, more than eight out of ten students at Augsburg received financial
assistance.
The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid supplements
student and family resources.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student is
eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent
family members, other educational expenses, retirement needs, and special considerations.
How to Apply
To be considered for the maximum amount of aid, students and families must apply for financial aid by May 1st. Steps to
apply can be found online www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/undergraduate-day-financial-aid/ and are updated
annually as federal and state processes change.
What Happens Next?
Once all documents are received, we review the financial aid application to determine financial aid eligibility for all
available programs. A financial aid award letter will be sent to the student. This letter details the financial aid award and
includes information regarding:
•
•
Institutional financial aid programs and requirements for continued eligibility
Federal and private loan programs (students must complete a loan application to receive loan funds)
Types of Aid
A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a specific scholarship or grant
(except as noted). The various forms of aid available are listed here for information only.
In addition to aid administered by Augsburg College, students are urged to investigate the possibility of scholarships and
grants that might be available in their own communities. It is worthwhile to check with churches, the company or
business employing parents or spouses, high schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid
available to students who meet their requirements. In addition to these sources, some students are eligible for aid
19
through Rehabilitation Services, Educational Assistance for Veterans, Educational Assistance for Veterans’ Children, and
other sources.
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/ and 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. This
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 any additional information about any of these programs.
Loan Assistance
Students must be enrolled at least half-time (6 or more credits) to be eligible for any federal loans
•
•
•
Federal Perkins Student Loan
o A federally-funded program administered through Augsburg College for students who demonstrate financial
eligibility. No interest accrues nor do payments have to be made on the principal at any time you are enrolled at
least half-time in school. Simple interest of 5 percent and repayment of principal (at the minimum of $40 a
month) begin nine months after you leave school. Repayment may extend up to 10 years. The loan offers a
teacher cancellation clause. The maximum that may be borrowed for undergraduate study is $16,000.
Federal Stafford Student Loan
o Subsidized Stafford Loans are need-based loans that the federal government subsidizes by paying the interest
while the student is in school and during the grace period.
o For the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, interest begins accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower is
responsible for all interest. The borrower may choose to make payments while in school or may defer payments
and allow interest to accrue and be capitalized (added to the balance of the loan).
Federal Parent Loan Program (PLUS)
o PLUS is a loan program to help parents meet college 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 online at the Financial Aid website,
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial.
Student Employment
Students are able to apply for work study positions through Augsburg’s Human Resources Office. Part-time work
provided by the College is considered financial aid, just like scholarships, loans, and grants. Students are limited to a
maximum of 20 hours of on-campus employment per week. The number of hours a student can work is dependent on
the position and the needs of the department. However, work is not guaranteed.
All on-campus work is governed by policies stipulated in the work contract issued to the student employee for each
placement. Payment is made bi-weekly by check to the student employee.
•
Federal College Work Study Program and Minnesota State Work Study Program
o Under these programs the federal or state government supplies funds on a matching basis with the College to
provide part-time work opportunities.
20
Residence Life Program
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 slightly 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 hook-ups for telephone, cable television,
computers, and internet access. A skyway connecting the lobby of Urness Hall and Mortensen Hall to Christensen Center
and Oren Gateway Center to the Lindell Library keeps students out of the weather on the way to class.
To secure housing on campus, students need to submit the following items by May 1:

Student Activities and Organizations
Augsburg’s mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense. Experiences in the classroom are an important
part of college life, yet learning and development also occur in formal and informal activities of the College and the
surrounding area. Whether students take classes in the day, evening, or weekend, the climate for learning and living at
Augsburg will add dimension to their education.
Campus Ministry
As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern for
spiritual growth is evident in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their own faith.
Because our campus is comprised of individuals from many different religious and cultural backgrounds, our worship life
is characterized by a similar diversity and richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth groups, outreach teams, and
community outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are examples of the
wide variety of activities on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to
give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students
gather for Holy Communion. Weekend and Evening College Chapel is held each Saturday morning when classes meet.
On Sundays, Trinity Lutheran worship services are held on campus, with many other churches within walking distance.
We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to use and discover the gifts and sense
of call and vocation that God has given them. As a college of the church, we encourage students to form values guided
by our Christian heritage, which will be the basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond their years at
Augsburg.
The college pastor, associate college pastor, and campus ministry staff have offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for
Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or information.
Student Government
The Augsburg Day Student Government and the Weekend and Evening College Student Government organizations
support and advocate for student concerns, needs, and activities. These student government groups serve as the official
student governments, and the primary voice and liaison between students and the administration, faculty, and staff of
Augsburg College.
Campus Activities and Orientation
Campus Activities and Orientation (CAO) creates and implements innovative programming that fosters individual and
community development and creates an environment where students can connect, engage, and invest in the Augsburg
community. CAO programming works to enhance and supplement the liberal arts and professional studies at Augsburg
College through quality transitional programs for new students as well as through leadership education.
CAO is made up of five program areas:
1. Campus Activities
CAO offers several programs and activities throughout the academic year designed to connect and engage students with
the Augsburg and surrounding community.
2. Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex and Asexual (LBGTQIA) Services
LBGTQIA Services works to improve the campus environment for all students, staff, faculty, and visitors at Augsburg
College by developing and supporting inclusive understandings of gender and sexuality, as well as by fostering a
community that honors and affirms the wholeness of all identities.
23
3. Student and Group Leadership Development
Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is an initiative designed to develop new leadership at Augsburg College by empowering
first-year students to cultivate and apply their inherent leadership skills through a semester-long skill-building training
program.
Student Group Development-CAO provides student groups with workshops focusing on social justice, privilege, antioppression, and other pertinent areas of development.
4. Orientation Programs
SOAR is a required two-day, overnight orientation experience for incoming first-year day students designed to help with
the transition to Augsburg College. Students will meet fellow classmates, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources
and services; and get a taste of life on campus.
Parent SOAR is an optional orientation experience for the parents and guardians of first-year students that runs
concurrently with the students’ SOAR session. Parents obtain important information about the campus; meet fellow
parents, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources and services; and get a taste of what life will be like for their
students on campus.
Transfer SOAR is a required day-long orientation experience for transfer students designed to help with the transition to
Augsburg College. Students will learn about College resources and services, hear about academic programs, and discover
why being a part of the Augsburg community is so rewarding.
Auggie Days is a required on-campus orientation experience for incoming first-year day students, which is designed to
complement SOAR, provide opportunities to enhance academic and personal success, and offer a helpful advantage in
starting at Augsburg College.
5. Student Groups
CAO manages student groups on campus and provides them access to many benefits, including but not limited to:
organization voicemail, email, and/or website, organization mailbox, Auggie's Nest workstation/work area, Auggie's Nest
locker, Auggie Room supplies, skill-building workshops and conferences, advising, funding and grants, and much more.
Student Center
Christensen Center, the Augsburg student union, serves students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests. Traditionally
considered the “living room” of the campus, the student union provides a central gathering place for the diverse
populations of residential, commuter, Weekend and Evening College, and graduate students at Augsburg through the
merging of curricular and co-curricular programs and activities.
Christensen Center also houses several student services, such as the Admissions Office, Campus Activities and
Orientation, the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work, Ethnic Student Services, Event and Conference Planning, the
Copy Center, Shipping and Receiving, the Information Desk, A’viands Food Services, and Mail Services.
The Auggies Nest, located on the ground floor of Christensen Center, serves as the student group office area and houses
the Augsburg Day and Weekend Student Government, the Augsburg ECHO (campus newspaper) office and the KAUG
(campus radio) office. Cubicles, lockers, and additional workspaces are also available in this area for student group use.
Fine Arts
Students have many opportunities to participate in music and drama. In addition to appearing on campus and in the city,
the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and Orchestra perform on national and international tours. Many other ensembles
are available to cover the entire range of musical styles and previous musical experience. Students stage several plays on
campus each year under the direction of the Theater Arts Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of oncampus workshops with visiting arts professionals.
24
Athletics and Sports
Intercollegiate Athletics
Augsburg is affiliated with the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) and is a member of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III. Men annually compete in football, soccer, cross country, basketball,
ice hockey, wrestling, baseball, track and field, and golf. Women annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer,
basketball, ice hockey, softball, swimming, track and field, and golf.
Intramurals
Every student is urged to participate in some activity for recreation and relaxation. An intramural program provides
competition in a variety of team sports as well as individual performance activities. Broomball has been an especially
popular coed sport. Check schedules for times when there is open use of the gymnasium and ice arena.
Sports and recreation
At Augsburg, sports are for all students as well as the intercollegiate athlete. The campus offers, on a space-available
basis, a double-rink ice arena, gymnasium, tennis courts, a fitness center with workout machines and weight room, and
an air-supported dome over the athletic field for winter fitness use by walkers and runners. (See additional information
under Health and Fitness, Fitness Centers.)
Sabo Center for Citizenship and Learning
Service-Learning and Community Engagement/Community Service-Learning
Augsburg’s Community Service-Learning Program provides students with opportunities to understand and respond to
needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences and civic engagement activities. A key component of
community service-learning is reflection on and analysis of community issues in order to promote personal and
educational growth and civic responsibility. By connecting classroom content with service-learning experiences in the
city, Augsburg students deepen their understanding of abstract course concepts while learning about pertinent and
related community issues. This dynamic and interactive educational approach employs reciprocal learning between
students and their community. Service-learning components are embedded in most academic disciplines.
Examples of community service-learning sites include homeless shelters, cultural and environmental organizations,
tutoring programs, and literacy centers.
Campus Kitchen Project and Community Garden
The Campus Kitchen Project connects the campus community with the larger 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 Surplus food from the Augsburg Dining Service is donated, reheated, and served by student volunteers to
neighborhood partners, including homeless shelters, youth and senior programs, and others. Augsburg students
in need can also find free food at our food shelf on campus, the Campus Cupboard.
Food to Grow
o On the corner of campus, Augsburg staff and students manage a community garden composed of nearly 100
garden plots where community and campus members can grow their own food. The garden staff also hosts
classes on healthy living in which neighborhood youth learn to grow and cook healthy food.
Food to Buy
o Find fresh produce grown by local farmers at the weekly farmer’s markets Tuesdays through the summer: 11-1
pm at Foss Chapel on campus, and 2-5 pm at the Brian Coyle Center down the street. The market doubles any
purchase made with food stamps. Augsburg is also the host of an organic CSA farm that people can become
members of and get a large box of produce each week.
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 weekly on campus.

Bonner Leader Program
In November 2008 Augsburg College launched its first year of the Bonner Leaders Program. Through the Bonner
program at Augsburg, students develop deep community relationships and engage in long-term policy advocacy
throughout their four years at Augsburg. Those selected to be a part of the Augsburg College Bonner Leaders are
students with diverse ethnic and geographical backgrounds and experience in community and leadership work. Through
service placements with partner nonprofit community organizations, students work an average of 200 hours over the
course of the academic year supporting ELL classrooms, running an employment education computer lab, coordinating a
low-income housing program, community health outreach, and working with a financial literacy program and more.
Beyond their work-study service, students participate in other community initiatives and civic engagement projects on
campus.
Through their participation with the Bonner Leader program, students engage in monthly guided reflections and
leadership development training. The Augsburg Bonner Leaders Program is a successful model to build on the College’s
culture of community and civic engagement and to take the College community to the next level of deepening
knowledge, reflection, and authenticity of civic engagement in the community.
Augsburg Reads
The Augsburg Reads program is a literacy and tutoring program focused on elementary student achievement. Augsburg
Reads pairs college students with community organizations in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood that are focused on
student achievement through after-school programs.

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 23,000
e-journals, 17,000 e-books, and 190,000 print volumes within Lindell Library and, through a daily courier service, access
to the library holdings of the seven private liberal arts colleges in the Twin Cities. In addition, Lindell Library has a large
collection of media resources. A service-oriented staff provides students and faculty with research assistance and
instruction in the use of information resources. Arrangements are made for access by students with physical limitation
and special needs.
Information Technology Resources
Augsburg College has built a reputation as a leader in its commitment to provide students with relevant and timely
access to information technology and training. Visit the Student Technology website,
www.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 six
computer classrooms and 41 technology-enhanced classrooms. The circulation desk in Lindell Library has 40 wireless
laptops available for use in the library.
Several computer clusters are available for more specific student use within academic departments. A high-speed fiber
optic campus network provides access to AugNet online services, printing, and to the internet. 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.
Clair and Gladys Strommen Center for Meaningful Work
Career & Internship Services
Career and Internship services at Augsburg includes a comprehensive resource center emphasizing the importance and
value for all students to engage in internships, career development, and the exploration of vocation throughout their
college years. The integration of “knowing and doing” adds breadth and depth to the curriculum and assists students in
making more informed academic and career decisions. The underlying assumption is that a liberal arts education is an
effective preparation for life, meaningful work, and active citizenship.
Career and Internship Services provides opportunities, programs, and career counseling to help students discover their
unique gifts, talents, skills, and interests; explore career paths; and grapple with questions of vocation and purpose in a
changing world. This process is viewed as an important part of a student’s development while attending college. To aid
in this process, professional career staff provide career assessments, individualized career planning and coaching. Staff
also assist students with choosing majors, planning for internships, preparing for internship and job searches, and
making connections to community, business, and alumni resources.

Internships
•
•
Academic Credit
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. A learning agreement plan, negotiated with the faculty supervisor and work
supervisor, outlines the academic objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods for receiving credit. Students
do internships in nonprofits, small and large businesses, government agencies, museums, arts organizations, and
schools and churches.
o Internships for credit are available in all majors and can be taken during any semester. Interdisciplinary (INS)
internships are also available. 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. Internships completed off campus for credit will automatically fulfill the Augsburg
Experience graduation requirement.
Non-Credit and Transcript Notation
o Not-for-credit internships related to a student’s major or career interests can be registered for a zero-credit
transcript notation (GST009). The goal is for students to apply theory to practice in a work setting and reflect on
the experience. Work opportunities typically are part-time during the academic year and/or full-time during
summer, and can begin and end anytime. Students set learning goals and evaluate their experience. The
Director or Internship Coordinator of Career and Internship Services supervises non-credit internships and
transcript notation work experiences. Internships not for credit and transcript notations may be used to fulfill
the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement by completing a Work-Connections reflection process.
Gage Center for Student Success
The Gage Center assists all Augsburg students in setting and achieving optimal academic goals here at the College and
beyond. The Gage Center is located on the Link Level of Lindell Library. The center consists of five collaborating units:
The Deidre Middleton Office of Academic Advising
Academic Advising orients new Day and Weekend & Evening College undergraduate students to the academic policies
and procedures of the College and assists students with initial course selection. This office continues to serve students
throughout their tenure at Augsburg by interpreting core curriculum requirements, administering entry-level skills
assessments, interpreting graduation requirements, providing degree-planning materials, and answering questions on
student academic progress. Academic Advising functions as a supplement to Augsburg’s faculty advising system and
supports the work of professional staff advisors across campus.
All current students are assigned to a faculty advisor. Prior to the end of their sophomore year, when they have
completed 48 or more semester credits, students are required to declare a major and select a faculty advisor. Majors
and minors are declared online through AugNet Records and Registration. Students select a faculty advisor from their
major area of study using the Change of Major/New Advisor Form. All Day students are required to meet with their
assigned faculty advisor(s) each term prior to registration. Both day and weekend students are encouraged to meet with
their faculty advisor(s) as often as is necessary.
Academic Skills Office (ASO)
The Academic Skills Office helps students to achieve their academic goals and become self-directed learners.
Comprehensive academic support (e.g., time management, note-taking, reading, testing, motivation/procrastination,
problem solving, troubleshooting) is available for all Augsburg students through individual and group appointments. In
addition, the Academic Skills coaches address affective needs and aid in the transition to college. Coaches also refer
students to campus resources.
The Academic Skills Office coordinates several programs to support students:

Tutoring/Supplemental Instruction Services
o ASO coordinates free tutoring (contract and drop-in) for most classes and supplemental instruction in specific
courses. Tutors and SI leaders are recommended by course professors and trained by ASO to provide tutoring
support.
Conditional Admit Program (CAP)
o A limited number of students are admitted conditionally through the CAP program. If CAP students do not meet
the program requirements, they will be continued in the CAP program, placed on probation, or dismissed. Get
more information at the Academic Skills Office website, www.augsburg.edu/acskills. See the Academic Progress,
Probation, and Dismissal section of the catalog for a description of probation and dismissal procedures.
Probation Advising
o Students placed, continued, or returned to academic probation are required to meet with an approved
academic advocate. A registration hold is placed on the student's record, which will prevent registration, until
the student completes the probation requirements. Students who do not fulfill the necessary requirements of
their probationary status will be continued on probation and/or dismissed. For more information on probation
requirements, go to the Academic Skills Office website at www.augsburg.edu/acskills. See the Academic
Progress, Probation, and Dismissal section of the catalog for a description of probation and dismissal
procedures.
Augsburg Advantage at St. Kate’s (AASK)
o Based on their application for admission to Augsburg, the Augsburg College Admissions Committee selects
students for the AASK program. The AASK program is a collaborative effort between St. Catherine University (St.
Kate’s) and Augsburg. The program assists students with the transition from high school to college with specific
courses and supportive programming. The program provides participants with the opportunity to complete
similar coursework that first-year students complete at Augsburg. Students attend courses on the Minneapolis
campus of St. Catherine University and have access to both campuses for support, resources, and activities.
o Upon successful completion, students are guaranteed sophomore status (minimum of 28 semester credits) and
will have fulfilled many of the first-year Augsburg requirements.
o To complete the program, students are required to:
Complete all required courses (30 semester credits) including Foundations of Fitness (at Augsburg) with a
minimum 3.0 GPA and no course grade below 2.0 or P.
Satisfactory completion of all Critical Competencies at St. Kates
Attend all seminars and transition events at Augsburg and St. Kates
Complete transition application and recommendation process with advisor at St. Kate’s by March 15.
Complete the Summer Transition Program (one course and all programming) in summer semester at
Augsburg after year at St. Kate’s.
o A second year program, which would allow students to earn an Associate of Arts degree from St. Catherine’s
University, may be an option for students who are unable to transition after their first year in the AASK program.
Students should contact SCU and Augsburg advisors if interested in this option.
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
29
•
•
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.
TRiO/Student Support Services
Students with disabilities may be eligible to apply for TRiO/SSS.
TRiO Programs
TRiO programs are funded by the US Department of Education, and hosted with additional funding by Augsburg College.
TRiO Programs seek to help students overcome class, social, academic, and cultural barriers to higher education. They
help students prepare for college, adjust to college life, persist in college, and maintain good academic standing to
graduate with a bachelor’s degree, as well as assist with preparation for graduate school.
TRiO/Student Support Services
Student Support Services (SSS) is a TRiO program designed to help students persist in college and graduate in a timely
manner. The program serves students who are low-income, first-generation college students (neither parent has a fouryear degree) and/or students with disabilities to develop the skills and motivation necessary to successfully pursue and
earn a bachelor’s degree. Participants in TRiO/SSS must also be US citizens or permanent residents or refugees, must
demonstrate academic need for program services, and must be committed to succeed in college.
Augsburg TRiO/SSS serves 160 students from the point of admission through graduation, including transfer students.
TRiO/SSS typically admits 40 new students to the program each year. Students meet regularly with their program
advisor to address academic success issues through:
•

TRiO/SSS advisor, contact TRiO/SSS program staff at 612-330-1311 or triosss@augsburg.edu.
TRiO-McNair Scholars Program
The Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement Program, a federal TRiO program funded by the US Department
of Education, is designed to prepare participants for doctoral studies through involvement in research and other
scholarly activities. The goal of McNair is to increase graduate degree attainment for students from underrepresented
segments of society and to encourage these students to consider becoming college professors.
McNair Scholars enroll in the program during their sophomore or junior year. Students must be enrolled full-time at
Augsburg College, demonstrate strong academic potential, and have an interest in pursuing doctoral studies. To qualify
as eligible for the program, the student must be low-income AND first generation OR a member of a group
underrepresented in graduate study—African American, American Indian, Alaskan Native, or Hispanic/Latino. The
Augsburg McNair program serves 26 students per year.
A major component of the Augsburg McNair Scholars Program is a summer research experience in collaboration with a
faculty mentor. Scholars receive a $4,000 research stipend, plus a room and board stipend, and funding for research
supplies. Stipends are also available for attending and presenting their work at a professional conference.

Bernhard Christensen Center for Vocation
Augsburg College has a deep and long-standing commitment to the theological concept of vocation—the idea that all
people can use their individual gifts to serve God’s purposes in the world and that each person’s contribution is uniquely
valuable.
In the spring of 2002, with the generous support of the Lilly Endowment, Augsburg created a program called Exploring
Our Gifts that was designed to help students, staff, and faculty explore the connections between faith, learning, service,
and work. Over the years, the program has helped embed vocational themes into the curriculum and has sponsored a
wide variety of short-term projects that offer rich opportunities for reflection on how to live with purpose and meaning.
These ongoing projects include internships at nonprofit organizations, off-campus service projects, international
seminars, vocation-themed chapel presentations, interfaith forums, vocation retreats, and scholarships for students
interested in exploring service to the community, ministry, or church leadership.
When Exploring Our Gifts ended in summer 2010, the College created a permanent center—the Bernhard Christensen
Center for Vocation—that keeps vocation at the core of Augsburg’s vision. This center continues many of the earlier
initiatives and carries on the work of promoting discovery of gifts and discernment of calling among the students,
faculty, and staff at Augsburg as well as members of the larger community.
For further information on how to participate in Augsburg’s vocation programming, visit www.augsburg.edu/acfl/.
StepUP® Program
The StepUP program at Augsburg College 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 values:
recovery based on spirituality and the 12-step model; personal responsibility, integrity, and living a balanced life;
educational success; giving back through servant leadership; thriving in a community that is an alcohol- and drug-free
environment; and developing healthy minds, bodies, spirits, and emotions.

Requirements and Course Load
The interim is an integral part of the fall semester at Augsburg College.
The number of interims required for graduation is equal to one interim less
than the number of years of full-time enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a student
enrolled full-time for four years is required three interims; a student enrolled full-time for two years is required one interim. While a student is
not required to enroll in an interim, helshe pays tuition for an interim
during each year helshe is enrolled full-time at Augsburg. Tuition for the
interim is paid as a part of the fall tuition payment. A student may take
an interim in the major or outside the major. Each discipline may require
one interim of its majors, and each student may elect one additional interim
in the major. Beyond the two interims in the major each student will elect
interims outside the major.
One interim course is the limit of the student's academic load during the
one-month term.
June Interims
Each year an interim course will be offered for the following June term of
summer school. A student may enroll in a June interim course in lieu of
the January term. If helshe elects June rather than January, there will be
no additional tuition charge. Students planning the June interim in lieu
of January, however, must register for the June interim at the time of interim
registration in the fall. Students wishing to take the June interim in
addition to the January one will be required to pay regular one summer course
tuition.
Distribution Requirements and Grading
Each department at Augsburg offers at least one interim course that will
fulfill the distribution requirements for graduation. Each instructor determines the manner in which the interim will be graded. The grading is listed with each interim description: Traditional; PIN; Optional.
-.
-
#
n interim course should make the same time-demands upon the student as a
standard semester course. The'number and length of class meetings is not
rigidly fixed. Students, however, should plan for in-class participation
of about ten hours per week. In addition, there will be labs, field study,
travel, reading, reports, and papers.
On-Campus Classes and Off-Campus Classes
The following catalogue lists the interim courses available at Augsburg.
In addition to these courses, Augsburg students may enroll for their interim
at Hamline, Macalester, or St. Catherines in St. Paul, and at St. Olaf iq
Northfield, as well as any other 4-1-4 institution that offers a reciprocal
interim arrangement. Students planning an interim, other than the Take-Five
Colleges, need to clear their plans with the Interim Director. Should
students have questions about other campus interims and major requirements,
they should consult with the department chairman of their major. Should they
have questions about other campus interims and distribution requirements,
they should consult with the Registrar.
The ALC Joint Interim
The 1975 interim will bring together, for the third year, students from a
number of American Lutheran Church colleges for a joint learning and living
experience. The 1975 joint interim will focus on a common theme: "Community
Awareness: The Future is Now." Courses will be offered in Minneapolis, in
St. Paul, and in Omaha, Nebraska.
While arrangements have been made for joint housing, Augsburg College students
may enroll in a joint interim course without participating in the housing
arrangements.
Independent Study
Students may elect an independent study program for the interim. If they
plan such, they must meet the department's requirements for independent
study. They must also present, at the time of registration for the interim,
a written agreement from the individual instructor who will direct their
independent study program. A topic and tentative outline, including bibliography for the independent study, must be submitted to the instructor and the
office of the Interim Director no later than December 12, 1974. No independent
study will be accepted after December 12.
The interim day is divided into two blocks of time. These time periods are
flexible, but the flexibility will be determined by the instructor and the
class at the first session.
I - 8:OO - 12:30
I1 - 12:30 - 5:OO

Energy, Man, and the Environment
As you and those in your generation take over the running of the
world, what will it run on? Just food and air? Certainly those,
but what else? What are the world's sources of energy for your
generation and your children's generation? We'll study them in
this interim--fusion power; hydrogen; fission power; geothermal
energy; solar energy; petroleum fuels; coal; hydroelectric systems;
the tides; wind. And food, too. Food not only gives us energy
for living, it requires energy for growing--fuels for machines,
for making fertilizer, for pumping water. We'll look closely
at both the prospects of each fuel and the problems--strip mining;
air pollution; radioactive wastes; salination of soil; harm to
wildlife and people; oil blackmail.
The intent is that you become informed to the point where you know
something about these matters and can inform others; where you can
participate intelligently in making the moral choices that surely
will face you; where you know how to stay informed, how to find
information, how to keep up to date.
The level will be semi-technical. We may use one of the several
environmental science books now available as a basic text and then
exploit other books, articles and government publications. We'll
study many films--high quality color films. If the opportunity
arises--there's no way to know this early--we'll visit a nuclear
power plant. We'll meet about four times a week, about two hours
or so at a time, (depending on the film for the day.) W s course
assumes a knowledge of high school chemistry or the equivalent.

in juxtaposition with those of the Mexican culture, the monastic
community and the other members of the group. The class will not
only be as a learning community for the month, but a working,
living and worshiping community as well. While at the monastery,
students will be expected to participate as fully as possible in
the discipline of the monastic community and will spend a part of
each day in class and part of the day working in agricultural and
social projects in the village. Also, conscious attention will be
given to the building of the community within the group itself,
and the skills involved in developing a community. In addition
to the monastery, some time will be spent in Mexico City and in
small group travel experiences to the other parts of Mexico.
Background readings and extensive daily journal and a final paper
will be required. Several preparatory meetings will be held

The Church and Social Change in Capitol City
In the constant flux of urban life with its population shifts,
housing blights, and new freeways, certain Twin City churches
(35 - 40 ALC churches among them) find themselves in a changing
situation. Such churches find it difficult to cope with the change
and to find meaningful ways of organizing to deal constructively with
the circumstances. The student class will explore by experience
and involvement on behalf of three churches in the inner stratum of
St. Paul. Such a class can help provide information for formulating
an approach. The three are in sight of the legislature, which
helps determine much life in the area. Some students will act as
legislative aides for the January session -- providing light and
shadow for what is being encountered in the area. (ALC Joint Interim)

HI!5TORICAL SKETCH
Augsburg was (begunas a seminary in I 869, at Marshall, Wisconsin. It was the first theological seminary started by Norwegian
Lutherans in America. Through an arrangement with a private
institution known as Marshall Academy the Seminary was housed
in the academy building. Students who needed further preparation in academic subjects were to obtain this in the academy. This.
arrangement failed t o work out satisfactorily; so the theological
group moved to a private dwelling, where classes continued until
1872. In the autumn of that year the Seminary was removed to
Minneapolis, Minnesota, where a building had been erected for its
use. In the same year the school was incorporated under the laws
of Minnesota. The aim of the institution was to train ministers
for the Lutheran congregations which were being organized in
growing numbers in the pioneer settlements that were spreading
rapidly over the Northwest.
The college was estabfished when it k a m e evident that in order
to get students who were adequately prepared for theologicar
study a college department was needed. So in 1874 a college curriculum was planned which provided for one year of preparatory
studies and four years of college work along two lines, a classical
course to prepare students for theology, and a scientific course to
prepare for the professions. The latter course, however, had to be
discontinued, partly for lack of funds and partly because too
few students selected the course. The first college students were
enrolled in 1874 and the first class was graduated in 1879;
In 1900 a high school course covering three years was established
which in 1910 was expanded to a standard four-year course. This
was discontinued in 193 3. In the years 1916-1919 the college
course was thoroughly revised. As a result of this and of subsequent growth, the earlier classical course was greatly modified and
supplemented by social and scientific studies and a more general
emphasis upon the- study of the humanities. In recent years there
has been continuous study and modification of the curriculum including the introduction of a number of new majors to meet the
developing needs of the students. The Divisional organization was
adopted in 1945. A t the present time majors are offered in 17 fields.
Coeducation was introduced in the College in 1921.
In the Theological Seminary there has likewise been a continuing-revision of the curriculum and the addition of new courses.
The requirement of a six-month period of internship was added
in 1939. Standards of admission have been raised so that a bachelor's degree or equivalent is now the required scholastic preparation. While the Theological Seminary has its own organization, the
Seminary and the College function in close cooperation Long
experience has proved this arrangement to be mutually wholesome
and stimulating.
Five presidents have served Augsburg during the course of its
history. The terms of o0ice of two of these cover a span of over
half a century. The first president was August Weenaas, who
served from 1869 to 1876. He was succeeded by Georg Sverdrup,
1876 to 1907. Sven Oftedal served from 1907 to 1911 and was
followed by George Sverdrup, whose term extended from 191I to
1937. H. N. Hendrickson served as Acting President from 1937
until I 9 3 8. Bernhard Christensen, the present president, has served
since that time.
FUNDAMENTAL AIMS
The educational purposes of Augsburg College and Theological
Seminary spring from the conviction that Christianity is the fundamental force for good in human life. All the aims of the College,
as well as those of the Seminary, are bound together by this principle. To express more distinctly the meaning of this, the following statement of aims has been formulated by the College faculty:
T o lead the student to a deeper understanding and personut
realization of the truth and power of the Christian Gospel, to
the end that he may become an effective participant in the
evangelical and missionary task of the Church and an earnest
advocate of the Christian way of life both for the individual and
for society.
T o familiarize the student with the culture of our own and
other ctvilizations, not only for the enjoyment this knowledge
affords but also for the development of a more sympathetic
understanding of our fellow men throughout the world.
T o develop the studenfs interest in the attainmmt of tbe
common purposes of our country, so that he may work for the
welfare of our institutions and for the preservation of our
liberties in community and nation, and also develop m enlightened interest and participation in human affairs throughout the rest of the world.
T o cultivate in the student a Christian social spirit, in order
that he may realize in his life a right balance between what he
expects of others and the service he will render his fellow men.
T o teach the student to discipline his o m urges, interests,
ambitions, and demands in a way that will effectively contribute toward the development of good character.
To train the student in scientijic methods of study and also

The work of the whole institution, both the Seminary and the
College, is done on the basis of Christianity. The students who
come are invited to take up their college work with the distinct
understanding that the Christian spirit is determining in all things.
They are asked to cooperate willingly in the program of the school
towards that end. The entire program of the school, curricular and
extra-curricular, and the discipline thought wise in order to make
possible the carrying out of this program, spring from the aim "to
see all.things through the eyes of Christ."
Enrollment in Augsburg College and Theological Seminary presupposes on the part of the student full cooperation in the ways
prescribed for the attainment of these aims.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND CONTROL
From I 870 to I 890, Augsbwg was supported by the NorwegianDanish Lutheran Conference. The merger of that church body
with two others, in r 890, r d t e d in the f i a t i o n of Augsburg
with the newly created United Nomegian Lutheran Church. Due
to Merences concerning the control of Augsburg a division arose,
and in 1897 congregations whose sympathies were deeply rooted in
Augsburg formed the Lutheran Free Church. The resulting close
association, in educational and spiritual activity, of Augsburg and
the Lutheran Free Church has been marked by complete harmony
of purpose and ideals for more than half a century.
The control exercised by the Lutheran Free Church is indirect.
The Annual Conference of the Church nominates the members
of the Augsburg Corporation and the Board of Trustees. The Corporation through the Board of Trustees exercises direct control
over property, hance, and personnel. Academic control is vested
in the President and the Faculty.
In addition to the income from student tuition and fees, which
has materially increased with the growth and development of the
College, the chief iinancial support of the institution comes from
the congregations of the Lutheran Free Church. In recent years a
growing circle of friends also outside the Lutheran Free Church,
both alumni and others, have contributed financially to the support of the school. Augsburg welcomes and invites such support on
the part of all who believe in her program of vital Christian education.

THE AUGSBURG FOUNDATION
The Augsburg Foundation, formerly the Aupbwg Foundation
Fellowship, is an association of alumni, former students, and other
friends of Augsbwg, having as its purpose to give united and
systematic support, both spiritual and hmcial, to the school. The

Student Personnel Services
ADMINISTRATION
Students entering college face many new situations and prablerns. Some problems disappear soon after enrollment but others
grow during the four years. In order to give the greatest help to
students in these circumstances, Augsburg College has developed
a number of student aids combined under the general title
of Student Personnel Services. Included are Freshman Days and
orientation, testing, counseling, housing and food service, health
and recreation, iinancial aid including student employment and
loans, and student activities. Graduating seniors and alumni benefit
from the services of the Placement Oflice. Coordination of these
services is centered in the oflice of the Dean of Students. The
planning and policy are formulated by the Personnel Committee.
FRESHMAN ORIENTATION
Freshmen and other new students participate in "Freshman
Days" before the beginning of classes in the fall semester. The
students take tests, inspect the college facilities, and become acquainted with their fellow students, with the faculty, and especially with their own faculty counselors. Several conferences with
the faculty- counselors are scheduled for the students, during
which they plan their program of study.
All freshmen enroll in a class in Orientation. In this course,
the students learn about standards and requirements of various
areas of college life. Methods and habits of study and related
techniques are explored. Personal health, social adjustment, personal
finances and vocational aims are discussed.
TESTING
A battery of aptitude, ability and interest tests are adrninistered free to all new students during Freshman Days. College aptitude scores, English and reading ability scores are obtained for
later use by counselors in helping students plan their programs.
Personal adjustment scores and vocational interest scores help the
students select occupational goals and future careers.
COUNSELING
The purpose of counseling is to give the student individual
help in all areas of adjustment to college life. The insight and
techniques of adjustment will also serve him later in life. Each
freshman and new student is assigned a faculty member who may
serve as his counselor for m o years. Counselors for juniors and
seniors are their major advisers. The Deans and other administrative
o0icers are general counselors to all students.
The Faculty counselor helps the student plan his educational
program and choose appropriate subjects. The student learns to
understand his own abilities and aptitudes through the analysis and
interpretation of test data by his counselor.
Through a system of referral, students 'may obtain counsel from
any member of the faculty, or from quaEed persons within the
college community.
VOCATIONAL COUNSELING
Vocational counseling is introduced to freshmen through the
use of a vocational interest test. An Occupational Information
file in the college library provides study materials for vocational
planning. Career conferences annually bring many professional
people to the campus for group sessions and individual counseling
on job opportunities.
PERSONAL COUNSELING
Students who have personal problems may find help through
discussing the problem with their counselor. Personal iinances,
housing, and similar problems are common topics of discussions.
Students who have spiritual problems may confer with their counselors, or other faculty members, such as members of the Department of Christianity and the College Pastor.
HOUSING
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall provides housing for about
150 men. Fifty women are accommodated at Sivertsen Hall, with
Morton Hall housing twenty, Miriam House and Edda House
each housing eighteen, and Morton Annex, twelve.
The college maintains several small apartments for married students. Applications may be made in the o&ce of the Dean of Students.
Students not living at home must live in college-operated housing, and must take their meals in the college dining hall. Students
may under certain conditions be permitted to make other arrangements, after consultation with the Dean of Women or the Dean
of Students.
Residence halls are open to new students a day before regular
schedules begin and are closed within twenty-four hours after the
term closes. The rule applies also to vacations. Students who wish
to stay in residence halls during vacations must have special permission from the Deans.
Room' rent and board must :be paid in advance. Rooms are furnished except for bed linen, towels, and blankets. The women
may also provide their own bedspreads and drapes. Laundry
facilities are available in each unit. Residents are held responsible
for any breakage or injury to furniture, fixtures, or equipment,
beyond ordinary wear and tear.
ROOM APPLICATION
Application for rooms should be sent to the Dean of Students
or the Dean of Women as soon as the student receives notice of
acceptance. Room assignments are made in order of application.
Residents are reassigned for the next year before August first.
After all residence halls have been filled, students are assisted
in finding rooms in private homes. The o6ce of the Dean of Students maintains a selected list of available housing at all times.
FOOD SERVICE
The ground floor of Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall houses
a cafeteria and dining hall, a social room, and a private dining
room available to students and other groups upon request.
All students, campus and off campus, share in the privilege of
using these service units. The dining hall will furnish food ac
cost to student groups, for special parties or picnics.
STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE
The program of student health service is in charge of the Director of Physical Education and Recreation, who is assisted by the
College Physician and the College Nurse. It includes regular phy-
sical examinations, corrective measures where needed, and a schoolwide program of recreation and physical training. Infirmary
rooms are provided for the use of those who are ill. The College

Requirements for Admission
Augsburg College admits as students, men and women of good
moral character and sound health who appear to have the ability
to succeed in college. Estimate of ability is determined by rank
in the high school graduating class and in the college aptitude test.
The normal basis for admission is the completion of the courses
of grades nine to twelve in an accredited high school. No definite
pattern of subjects is required, but it is recommended that the last
four years of high school include four units of English, or three
units of English and two of a foreign language, two units of social
studies, and one unit of mathematics. A unit is defined as a course
covering one academic year and equivalent to at least 120 hours
of classwork. Graduates of unaccredited high schools are considered for admission on the basis of their rank in high school and
their achievement in a college aptitude examination and an English
achievement test.
Applicants who are not high school graduates but who give
evidence of suf6cient maturity are considered for admission upon
recommendation and on the basis of achievement in a college aptitude test, English achievement test, and General Educational
Development Tests on literary materials, social science materials,
and natural science materials.
For most graduates of Minnesota high schools the results of the
college aptitude and English achievement tests are available in ad-
vance if they have been taken in the state-wide testing program.
The General Educational Development tests are available to service
men through the Armed Forces Institute. All tests may, however,
be taken at Augsburg by arrangement with the Registrar.
The College reserves the right t o reject the applications of students whose previous records or aptitudes, as measured by tests,
indicate they may have di&culty with college work.
Deficiencies
Applicants who have been accepted for admission with a deficiency in English will be required to register for a special course
in English. Such deiiciency and the requirements with regard
to additional training will be determined at the beginning of
&e Freshman year by means of tests. The requirements include
the attainment of d e h i t e standards as to spelling, grammar, pronunciation, and general correctness in the use of the English language.
Transfer and Advanced Standing
Students are accepted by transfer from other institutions if they
did satisfactory work and were otherwise in good standing there.
If their previous work was unsatisfactory, they will be admitted
at Augsburg only under special circumstances.
Advanced standing in any subject is granted to students who
present satisfactory credentials from other institutions. In certain
(cases advanced standing is granted on the basis of examinations.
This is true of veterans whose achievement in the college General
Educational Development Tests warrants the granting of some
Junior College credit.

A student who has to be absent from a final examination because of a conflict with outside work from which he cannot obtain an excuse may arrange to take such an examination during
some period after the time on which the subject is scheduled.
If a student has obtained permission from the proper authorities

Vocations in Home EEonomics
From the vocational point of view, the work in the Department
of Home Economics is intended to prepare students for homemaking, to equip them for the teaching of home economics in
high school, and to give them the &st two years of the training
required for such vocations as dietetics, institution management,
home economics in business, home economics and journalism, and
home economics extension.
Each student who plans for a vocation in this field should consult members of the home economics staff about the details of the
program when she begins her college work. The teaching major
is described in the catalog on page 90.
Most medical schools require a minimum of three years of college
education, but premedical students often h d it advantageous to
complete their college work before entering the medical school.
The following program will meet the requirements of most medical
schools, but it is advisable for the student to study the requirements of the medical school to which he plans to apply.

Introduction to Interim
Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. The college follows a 4-1-4calendar, with Fall and Spring
semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week
January Interim. Interim is particularly intended to be a time
for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and
learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and
ways not possible during the regular term. There will be no
summer Interim in 1987.
Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students
should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class a s they would for a four-course load during Fall
and Spring semesters. Students can register for only one
course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a
student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0
scale. Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/
No credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the
PIN system; this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division
standing. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and
the student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a
more rigorous grading standard.
To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35
courses of which at least three must be Interim courses (or one
Interim less than the number of years of full-time enrollment at
Augsburg; e.g., a transfer enrolled full time for two years is required to complete one Interim for graduation).
Augsburg Policy
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the
basis of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or handicap a s required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, a s amended, in its admissions policies, educational programs, activities and employment practices.

H Biological Evolution
BIO 307-47008
Instructor: Ralph Sulerud
That organisms have evolved and, accordingly, all creatures are
biologically related are probably the most sigmficant conclusions
which biology has contributed to human knowledge. The antievolutionist arguments of the "scientific creationists" will be
investigated in this course. However, to the vast majority of biologists evolution is accepted a s a fact, and the evidence in its support will be examined.
Biologists do not agree concerning the mechanisms and pace of
evolution. Indeed, theories as to these matters have evolved and
continue to do so. Much of the course will involve historical study
of evolutionary thought from pre-Darwinian times to the present.
Finally, we will address the course of evolution from the origin of
life itself to the origin of human life.
There will be a variety of readings, and classes will consist of lectures and discussions. Grading will be based primarily on quizzes
and tests.

Augsburg Goes to Business
BUS 321-47012
Instructor:Thomas Morgan, Tina Wagner, Lois Olson
"Augsburg Goes to Business" is a one-month senior seminar for
business and economics majors. The goal of the seminar is to provide a better understanding of the diversity in organizations and
the varied environments in which and the many constraints with
which they must operate. Three objectives emerge:
1. to develop a clearer understanding of how the different functional areas of an organization operate on a day to day basis
and how these "parts" are integrated into the overall operation of the firm.
2. to examine the extent to which "textbook approaches" correspond to "real world" situations and are able to accommodate practical application.
3. to explore potential conflicts between individual (personal
and career) goals and the goals of the organization; addressing how these conflicts may be resolved.
Class time will be divided between on-campus lecture and discussion and off-campus visits. Students will visit eight different
types of organizations in the metropolitan area. Class discussions
will focus on assigned readings, interpretation of the results of
different vocational oriented tests, and the issues relevant to the
selection of career paths.
Students will keep a journal of experiences and observations.
Grades will be determined on the basis of the journal and on a
research paper the topic of which has been negotiated with the
instructors.

January in Medieval England: An Imaginary
Travel Trip
ENG 213-47027
Instructor:Joan Griffin
What was it like to be alive in late medieval England? Using literature, drama, music, and art of 12th to 14th century England and
Europe, this course is an imaginary trip into the past, touring the
medieval castle, cloister, and college.
The course has two emphases. Lecture/discussion sessions will
explore a variety of literary documents as well as art and music in
order to understand the daily lives of medieval people. Focusing
on Chaucer's Canterbury pilgrims, topics will include: "A Knight
Ther Was.. . :The Chivalric Ideal"; "The Doctour of Physik: Medicine in the Age of the Black Plagues"; "Madame Eglantine: Medieval Manners" etc.
The course will also explore medieval literature as a performing
art. Students will be asked to participate in workshops on medieval drama, music, etc. The course will culminate in a medieval
banquet or other performance.
Evaluation will be based on lecture and workshop attendance and
participation, a journal, and a paper.

The Short Story - Elements of Fiction
ENG 240-4702..
Instructor: Kathryn Swanson
What is fiction? What is good fiction? What elements of fiction
should I consider in making an evaluation? In this course, students will find answers to these questions by reading a variety of
fictional works and by writing their own fiction.
Although the course will not involve a systematic analysis of the
history of the form of the short story, we will begin with tales and
fables and we will read a sufficient number of classics for the student to appreciate the historical development from Poe to Beattie.
The course will involve practice in ways of approaching literature
and will include study of the basic critical terminology, so it would
be an appropriate course for students who have not yet studied
literature at the college level.
Students are expected to read the stories and novel, participate in
class discussions, write an analysis paper on a topic selected with
the advice of the teacher, write a short story, and take several quizzes and a final exam. Effective Writing is not a prerequisite but
students will be expected to write with clarity

Emily Dickinson: The Person and The Poems
ENG 340-47029
Instructor:Ron Palosaari
Unknown in her lifetime, Emily Dickinson has gained a reputation as one of America's finest poets.
She spent most of her life within the family home, confining her
relationships to a selected few while the town regarded her as eccentric. Some writers believe she retreated from the world to give
herself to her poetry because her time and place made no provision for a female professional poet, especially a boldly innovative
one. Others trace her seclusion to various family relationships,
personal problems, or frustrated dreams of love. Whatever the situation, out of the mystery of her life comes the glory of her poetry.
We will study her poetry and a standard biography. Evaluation will
be based on a few short papers, an oral or group report, a journal,
and a test. We may also have some quizzes.
Students will also read one of the important books on Dickinson
and give a class report on the paper they prepare on their book.

HISTORY
Modern Paris: History and Literature
HIS 114-47036
Instructor:Orloue Gisselquist
We will do two things in this course. First, we are going to study a
significant period-the 19th and 20th centuries-in the history of
one of the world's great cities. Secondly, we are going to focus
much of our work on three major pieces of literature that deal
with Paris. We will enjoy them as literature but study them as
historical sources for what they tell us about Paris. The three
pieces of literature we probably will read are Honore de Balzac,
Old Goriot (1834),one of several novels he wrote picturing life in
Paris; Alexis de Tocqueville, Recollections (1893),a memoir written in the early 1850's by one of the great political thinkers of the
19th century that recounts his firsthand experience in the '48 revolution in Paris; and Edrnond and Jules de Goncourt, Pages from
the Goncourt Journal (1922),a very realistic day-to-daydiary kept
by two brothers who professionally and socially associated with
the literary elite of Paris during much of the second half of the
19th century. Whereas today history is being pressed toward the
social sciences, this represents a more humanities orientation of
historical study.
There will be two short papers (4-5 pages each) and two written
examinations.

HUM 275-47039
Instructor:Richard Nelson
A myth is not something patently false or absurd, although popular usage has emphasized its fictional quality. Myth is the means
by which people and cultures explain themselves to others and to
themselves. In this course we will examine mythopoeic thought
and the myths which that process evolved in the ancient Near
East, Greece and Rome. We will read mythological literature in
translation and modern commentaries on the nature of myth
making. These mythologies will be studied within their historical
and cultural context, resulting in a final paper on a topic to be
decided upon between student and instructor. In addition to the
final paper, there will be a final exam and weekly quizzes or writing assignments. Depending upon production timing, the class
will attend an area dramatic presentation. Students enrolling for
upper division credit will be required to write an expanded final
paper based on deeper source material (18-20pages in length compared to lower division papers of 10-12 pages) and, in addition, a
critical review of a pertinent study

20th Century South Asia
HIS 262-47040
Instructor: Don Gustafson
India (or South Asia)has produced the largest working democracy
in the world today; from this people have come one of our century's greatest saints and also one of the most renowned statesmen;
it is a foremost example of 20th Century colonialism and nationalism; it has experienced one of this century's greatest upheavals of
people; it is a standard example for population crisis and world
poverty illustrations. South Asia is all this-and much more.
This course is designed for the student who has interest but little
or no background in non-western subjects. We will begin with an
anthropological study (BEHIND MUD WALLS) of traditional village India; then consider colonialism by reading the literary classic, PASSAGE TO INDIA (and also see the movie); observe the
process of nationalism and independence using various historical
readings and the movie, GANDHI; and finally conclude with some
thoughts on modernization.
There will be general discussions, weekly examinations and a final exam.

We all encounter deception and exploitation in politics, advertising, selling, and personal relations. How can one decide whether
to conceal information from a customer, to use subliminal persuasion, to "blow the whistle" on one's employer, to use photographs
or body language to give a misleading impression? How can one
sort out and weigh the various ethical considerations?
In this course we will use case studies and a variety of ethical perspectives to analyze ethical problems in such fields as advertising,
public relations, sales, and politics. We will also consider issues in
subliminal persuasion, nonverbal communication, and interpersonal communication. The main objective is to improve our ability

Augsburg College lnterim
The interim i s an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. It is particularly intended
to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to
investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. Since
one course equals a full time load, students should plan to spend the same amount of time in
class and preparing for class as they would for a four course load during Fall and Spring
semesters.

11 - 1:00 - 5:00 p.m.
The number and length of class meetings as well as the beginning time will be arranged the first
day of class.
'Students enrolling in half-credit coursesshould consult the Registrar'sOfficefor datesforcancel/add
and to determine the grading system.
Essential Information
One course is considered a full time load during interim and nostudent is permitted to register
for more than one course credit during the period.
There i s no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an interim course.
Most interim courses are graded traditionally on a scale of 4.0 to 0.Students generally have the
option to register on a Pass/No credit basis. A few interim courses are graded only on the P/N
system; this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division standing. Such interim courses
have two numbers listed and the student must select. Students registering for upper division
standing should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard.
To graduate, an Augsburg student i s required to complete 35 courses of which at least three
must be interim courses (or one interim less than the number of years of full time enrollment at
Augsburg; e.g., a transfer enrolled full time for two years is required to complete one interim
for graduation.)

Options
june lnterim - A t least one interim course will be offered in the June1982session of summer
school (see listing under Education) in lieu of January term with n o additional tuition charge.
Students planning to elect the june interim must register at the time of interim registration in
the fall. Students wishing t o take the June interim i n addition t o the January one will be
required t o pay the regular summer course tuition.
lnternational Interims-Students are invited to consider being part of one of the five overseas
interims offered by Augsburg College during January 1982. These interims are under these
departments:
English - Theatre i n London
Religion - Israel, Ancient and M o d e r n
- The Confrontation of Cultures and Religions i n Hawaii
Social Work - Social Service and Public Policies i n a Developing Country: Egypt, 1982
Health and Physical Education - Sailing i n the Virgin Islands
Other international interims are available through Upper Midwest Association for International Education (UMAIE) and St, Olaf College.
Further academic description, travel details and cost estimates are available i n the lnterim
Office and from Mary Kingsley i n the lnternational Center, Memorial 229.
Students interested in participating in one of these international interims should apply i n the
International Center before November 1. Additions to the overseas groups usually cannot be
made after October.
Internships-Internshipsareopen tostudents whocontinue an internship from the fall term or
who begin an internship which will continue into the spring term. Students electing an
internship interim are to present a completed internship learning contract to the Internship
Office (Memorial 230) no later than Tuesday, November 17.
Independent o r Directed Study - Students may elect a program of independent study (upper
division 499) or directed study (lower division 299) for interim. Faculty members are strongly
discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent or directed study
per interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or directed study must:
A. Meet departmental requirements,
B. Present to the lnterim Director for approval a copy of the proposed study plan approved by
the supervising faculty member. This proposal must be submitted at least one week before
registration and not later than November 2. Appropriate study proposal forms can be
obtained in the lnterim Office.
Interimsat Other Schools- Augsburg students may enroll at any other 4-1-4institution which
offers a reciprocal interim arrangement. Catalogs of these interims can be consulted in the
lnterim Office. The lnterim Secretary will help students i n applying for registration at other
schools. Registration for interims at the other Twin Cities colleges will be done at Augsburg
during the regular registration period. Most courses taught during the interim at other 4-1-4
schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as meeting
Augsburg's distribution requirements. This qualification particularly affectscourses offered for
the Religion requirement.
Non-Augsburg Students
Augsburg Collegewelcomesstudentsfrom other4-1-4schoolsfor theJanuary interim without
tuition charges provided the student's home institution agrees not t o charge tuition to
Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special fees,
housing o r board costs. Other students will be,charged $600 for the interim course.
Students interested i n registering for an Augsburg Interim should w r i t e t o the lnterim Director
for application forms or use the forms provided by the interim office at their own school. These
students are welcome to stay o n campus but are not required t o d o so. Requests for interim
housing should be made t o the lnterim Office.
Augsburg Policy
Augsburg College admits studentsof any race,color, nationalandethnicorigin toall the rights,
privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the
school. It does not discriminateon the basisof race, color, creed, national and ethnicorigin i n
employment practices or administration of its educational policies, admissions policies,
scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

their mother and two sisters were buried-they consoled themselves with the lile of the
imagination. All of them, too, were to die young. But the th~,eesisters. Charlotte, Emily, and
Anne, gave to the world several groundbreaking novels dnd some memorable poetry.
The course will focus primarily o n the writings of Charlotte ()a~leEyrc. Villerte) and Emily
(Wurhering Heighfs, poems). All students will read these works and will sample some of the
critical approaches t o Wufherir~gHeight\, one of the most original novels of the nineteenth
century. In addition, we will read the biography of Charlotte by her friend and fellow writer.
Elizabeth Gaskell. We will consider the influence on the sisters of the family situation and of
attitudes toward women writers in the 1840's.

A Greeting from the President
A college catalog is a wonderful text, full of detail and data that offer all of us a map to our
lives together as a college community. This is a map grounded in Augsburg’s mission: “To

and commitments you have formed at Augsburg—they will last a lifetime. I also hope that you
find in this map signposts of the progress you have made in your vocational journey and that
you will continue to believe that you have rightly chosen Augsburg as the community in which
you will spend time for the next several years.
If you are studying this map to find out more about Augsburg College and an Augsburg

of our institution, but also about our mission of service, particularly about those whom we serve
in a modern, vibrant city. Augsburg is located in the heart of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and
St. Paul, and it is in the city that our College both serves and thrives. As you study here, you will
find a setting that not only provides remarkable learning opportunities, but one in which you will

enhanced by both education and service experiences that transform theory into action and unite

About Augsburg
At Augsburg College, we believe that the college experience should be a time of exploration,
of discovery, of new experiences, and new possibilities. We also believe that a liberal arts
education is the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of
today and tomorrow. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a
major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate
effectively.
Discovering Your Gifts and Talents
The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg Core Curriculum—designed to prepare
students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens. Through “Search for Meaning”
courses, students explore their own unique gifts and interests and find where their own talents
intersect with the needs of our global society.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve for a lifetime:
writing, speaking, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a few.
Thanks to Augsburg’s prime location in the heart of a thriving metropolitan area, many
courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through
academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural
enrichment. In a sense, the resources of the Twin Cities are an extended campus for Augsburg
students.
Selection from over 50 Majors
Augsburg offers more than 50 majors—or you can create your own major, either on campus
or through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). This five-college consortium
allows day program students to take courses on other campuses without charge while a full-time
student at Augsburg. The ACTC includes Augsburg College, St. Catherine University, Hamline
University, Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas.

Mission Statement
Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world.
They stand as testaments to the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission:
“Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical
thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged
community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education
is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and
values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by its urban and global settings.”
History
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after
the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg
opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wis., and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first
seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879.
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
August Weenaas was Augsburg’s first president (1869-1876). Professor Weenaas recruited
two teachers from Norway—Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly
articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants
and to provide such “college” studies that would prepare students for theological study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare
future theological students; and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The
statement stressed that a good education is also practical.
Augsburg’s next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of
education. This commitment to church and community has been Augsburg’s theme for more
than 140 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the democratic college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second president
(1876-1907), required students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student
involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg’s motto,
“Education for Service.”
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran
Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to
congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change made Augsburg the only
higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still
important primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The Focus Changed
Traditional attitudes began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup, Jr.,
became president. He worked to develop college departments with an appeal to a broader
range of students than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922
under the leadership of longtime dean of women, Gerda Mortensen.
The College’s mission assumed a double character: ministerial preparation together with a
more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an
erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (1938-1962). His involvement in ecumenical and
civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life.
After World War II, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve
academic offerings. Now the College had become a larger part of the institution than the
seminary and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college
program based on general education requirements and elective majors. Full accreditation of the
College was achieved in 1954.
A study in 1962 defined the College’s mission as serving the good of society first and the
interests of the Lutheran Free Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological
Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged
with the American Lutheran Church. Subsequently, the American Lutheran Church merged with
two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
A College in the City
Under the leadership of President Oscar A. Anderson (1963-1980) Augsburg became a vital
and integral part of the city. The College began to reach out to nontraditional student
populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all students. Also in these years, Augsburg
added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall, Urness Hall, Christensen Center, Ice Arena, and Murphy
Place.
Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg’s
commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and
programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the city as extensions of campus
and classroom. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two graduate
degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and
events, increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship,
Drama, and Communication; the Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell
Family Library.
Dr. William V. Frame became president in August 1997 and retired in 2006. Under his
leadership, the College sharpened its identity as a college of the city, providing an education
grounded in vocational calling that provides students both the theoretical learning and the
practical experience to succeed in a global, diverse world.
Dr. Paul C. Pribbenow became president in July 2006. Under his leadership, the College
aims to educate students of all ages—in the midst of a great city—to be faithful citizens of the
world.
Augsburg Today
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed:
• An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church;
• Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to
send out productive, creative, and successful citizens;
• The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning
laboratory for Augsburg students.
The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called
to serve our neighbor.” Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship,
meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg prepares its students to become effective,
ethical citizens in a complex global society.
In addition to Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences, Augsburg
offers master’s degree programs in business, education, leadership, nursing, physician
assistant studies, and social work, as well as a doctoral program in nursing practice. For
information on graduate programs, go to www.augsburg.edu/grad.
Undergraduate education is offered both on weekday semester programs, and alternate
weekend trimester programs. The graduate programs generally follow the trimester schedule.
In addition to its Minneapolis campus, Augsburg has a branch campus in Rochester, Minn.
Weekend and Evening College
Augsburg’s Weekend and Evening College (WEC) provides an educational opportunity for
adults who want to earn a bachelor’s degree and work or have other commitments during the
week. It is a means by which men and women can gain skills for professional advancement,
prepare for a career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal
arts and professional studies.
Weekend and Evening College began in 1982 with 69 students taking courses in three majors.
Eight courses were offered in the first term. Today, with approximately 1,000 students enrolled
each term and 18 majors in the liberal arts and professional studies, WEC is one of the largest
programs of its type among Minnesota private colleges.
The Non-Traditional Student
Augsburg’s Weekend and Evening College is based on the assumption that non-traditional
students are mature, self-disciplined, and motivated learners who seek a combination of
classroom experience and individual study. Each course includes periods of concentrated, oncampus study as well as time for independent study and class preparation.
Alternate Weekends
To meet the needs of nontraditional students, classes generally meet on alternate weekends
for three-and-a-half to four hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday
afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. Laboratory sections or additional class hours may be
scheduled during the week. WEC students may take from one to four courses each term. The
WEC academic year is divided into three trimesters (fall, winter, and spring), so that students
may complete three terms in the traditional nine-month academic year.
A Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s Weekend and Evening College is participation in a
community of non-traditional learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and
women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community
interaction, Augsburg encourages WEC students to make use of College facilities, such as
Lindell Library, and to participate in academic and co-curricular activities, such as the student
newspaper, travel seminars, student organizations, fine arts events, networking events,
workshops, and convocations. The WEC student body elects its own leaders through the WEC
Student Senate.
Augsburg continues its tradition of innovation to meet the needs of non-traditional students
by creating new programs, and providing faculty and staff development in teaching and serving
non-traditional students.
To learn more about graduate studies at Augsburg, go to www.augsburg.edu/grad.
Weekend and Evening College Faculty
The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and the WEC faculty are full-time
Augsburg professors as well as adjunct faculty who bring professional experience to their
teaching. Most faculty hold a doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching to be
the focus of their activities at the College. Professors are involved in social, professional, and a
variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are
actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best
practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories.
Weekend and Evening College’s small classes facilitate the College’s tradition of close
involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate
regularly in campus activities.
Rochester campus
Augsburg’s branch campus in Rochester was established in 1998 as a natural extension of
the College’s mission and its expertise in teaching working adults. In Rochester, six
undergraduate majors, plus a certificate program in business management, are offered.
The Rochester campus classrooms and offices are located at Bethel Lutheran Church
(ELCA), a few blocks south of the heart of the city which is home to about 100,000 residents. It
is a city that enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior technological resources.
Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a trimester schedule with classes taking place on
weekday evenings and on occasional Saturdays, making them accessible to working adults. In
addition to the half- dozen degree programs that can be completed entirely in this location,
students may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of Rochester-based
courses and courses taken in the Day or WEC program in Minneapolis.
Students at the Rochester campus are Augsburg College students. They are supported
through an array of e-learning resources ranging from access to Lindell Library databases to the
use of online course management software. Information about the Rochester campus is
available at www.augsburg.edu/rochester or by calling the Rochester office at 507-288-2886.
College of the Third Age
Augsburg demonstrates its commitment to lifelong learning in part through its College of the
Third Age. College of the Third Age is a teaching-learning service founded more than 30 years
ago to serve older adults by encouraging lifelong learning, fostering interactive discussion, and
introducing new topics and subjects related to an ever-changing world. A roster of more than 25
retired, semi-retired, and working professors teach non-credit seminars for the program, based
upon their areas of expertise.
College of the Third Age partners with organizations and facilities that serve older adults in
the Twin Cities metropolitan area, including churches, synagogues, community centers, and
senior residences. The current catalog lists more than 200 classes available for group study at
partner organizations and facilities. To obtain further information about the program or to
request a catalog, call 612-330-1139 or visit www.augsburg.edu/thirdage.

Financing Your Education
All students receive financial help indirectly, since a quality liberal arts education costs more
than tuition and fees cover. The College raises that difference in gifts—from alumni, faculty, staff,
parents, churches, friends, foundations, and endowment income.
However, the primary responsibility for paying for a college education rests on students and
their families. Financial aid is intended to supplement those resources.

Payments
Day College
Semester Fees—Prior to the start of each semester a statement of estimated charges
showing basic charges and financial aid credits designated by the Student Financial
Services Office is sent to the student via e-mail. All statements are available online.
Payment Options—Augsburg College offers payment plan options for all students.
Information about payment plan options is available online through the student’s Augnet,
Records and Registration account.
Weekend and Evening College
All statements are available online through Augnet, Records and Registration. For tuition
and fee information, please refer to the financial aid website.
Payment Options
(1) Payment in full at the start of each term or an extended payment plan.
(2) Employer Reimbursement: Students on this plan must file an employer reimbursement
application form each academic year, prior to the start of the first class. Once enrolled in the
employer reimbursement payment plan, students have until 60 days after the end of each term
to pay their term costs in full. There is a $20 per term fee associated with this payment option.
The student is responsible for payment of the balance should the employer not reimburse for
any reason. If the employer offers partial reimbursement, the non-reimbursed portion of tuition
and fees must be paid in full at the start of the term.
(3) Students may also defer payment by enrolling in the College’s third party payment plan or in
a military payment plan if their term costs are to be covered by a third party or through VA
education benefits, such as the GI Bill. (More details can be found at
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial)
Financial Policies
A finance charge is applied at a simple rate of .67 percent per month on any account with an
open balance of 30 days or more.
Registration is permitted only if the student’s account for a previous term is paid in full or if
the student is making scheduled payments in accordance with an approved online payment
plan.
Augsburg College will not release student academic transcripts or graduation
diplomas/certificates until all student accounts are paid in full or, in the case of student loan
funds administered by the College (Federal Perkins Student Loan), are current according to
established repayment schedules and the loan entrance and exit interviews have been
completed.
Refunds
Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of
their charges based on the appropriate refund schedule. Financial aid may be adjusted for those
students who withdraw from the College or drop course(s) and receive financial assistance.
Students who wish to withdraw from Augsburg should complete the Withdrawal from College
form available online through the registrar’s website. It must be filled out completely, signed and
turned in to the Enrollment Center. Students who properly withdraw or change to part-time, who
are dismissed, or who are released from a housing contract will have their accounts adjusted for
tuition and/or room (except for the minimum deduction of $100 to cover administrative costs) in
accordance with the terms of their housing contract and/or the appropriate tuition refund
schedule.
Students are responsible for canceling courses through the Enrollment Center (or online) in
order to be eligible for any refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not
complete the drop/add form are responsible for all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted
based on the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations are based on the
date that the drop/add form is processed.
Refund Policy for Day, Weekend and Evening, Rochester, and Graduate Studies
Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of
their charges based on the refund schedule below. This refund is based on the percentage of
calendar time remaining on the date of the student’s official withdrawal from classes. This
applies to all students who drop one or more courses during the term and/or withdraw from all
courses in the term.
Percentage of calendar time remaining after official drop or withdrawal and amount of refund:
100% to 90% remaining
Full refund (minus $100 administrative fee)
89% to 60% remaining
50% refund
This refund schedule is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. Allow 30 to
45 days for tuition and possible financial aid adjustments to be finalized. If a credit balance
remains on the student’s account, a credit refund will be issued at that time.
The refund of charges calculation used is the Augsburg College Refund Policy stated above.
Students may appeal refund decisions through the Financial Petition Committee. Petition forms
are available online through the registrar’s website.
Medical refund
If a student is forced to withdraw from one or more courses in a term due to illness or an
accident, the refund will include the normal refund percentage (based on the regular refund
schedule), plus one-half of the remaining tuition and fees. This extra medical refund will be
considered upon submission of documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead,
verifying the medical circumstances. Requests for medical refunds should be made through
the Financial Petition Committee. Petition forms are available through the registrar’s
website.
Unofficial Withdrawal
Federal regulations require that records of financial aid recipients who earn failing grades in
all their classes be reviewed. If courses are not completed (e.g., unofficial withdrawal, stopped
attending), the College is required to refund financial aid to the appropriate sources according to
federal or Augsburg refund policies based on the last recorded date of attendance. Students are
responsible for the entire cost of the term including the portion previously covered by financial
aid should they stop attending. Students are strongly urged to follow guidelines for complete
withdrawal from college. If there are extenuating circumstances, a petition to have the cost of
tuition refunded can be made. Petition forms are available online through the registrar’s website.
A student who registers, does not attend any classes, and does not withdraw may petition to
withdraw retroactively. The student must petition within six months of the end of term and
provide proof of non-attendance. Proof can include, but is not limited to, statements from each
instructor that the student never attended, or documentation of attendance for the term at
another college or university. If approved, grades of W will be recorded and charges for the term
dropped. The administrative cancellation fee is $300.
Financial Aid
All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must establish financial aid
eligibility on an annual basis. This includes completing the application process as outlined below
and making satisfactory academic progress. In order to maintain eligibility in financial aid
programs, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the attainment of their
degree or certificate as stipulated in the College catalog and as published on the Academic
Progress Standards for Financial Aid Recipients webpage, www.augsburg.edu/finaid/sap.html.
Financing higher education could be the most significant investment a person or family
makes in a lifetime. Proper planning and wise choices are important, not only in choosing a
college, but also in the methods used to pay for it. Augsburg College, through its Enrollment
Center, will help students and their families protect access to a quality Augsburg education in a
time of increasing financial challenge.
Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of scholarships,
grants, loans, and part-time work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state,
church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 2011-2012
academic year, more than eight out of ten students at Augsburg received financial assistance.
The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and
family. Financial aid supplements student and family resources.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) helps determine the amount of
assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial
factors as current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational
expenses, retirement needs, and special considerations.
How to Apply
The following are required to process your financial aid application:
1). Be admitted to Augsburg as a regular student or be a returning student in good academic
standing with the College.
2). Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Renewal FAFSA.
Students are encouraged to file the FAFSA electronically online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Students
and their parents may sign the FAFSA electronically using a PIN issued by the US Department
of Education. Instructions for requesting a PIN can be found at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Be sure to
include the Augsburg College code, 002334, on your application. Submit your application to the
processing agency after January 1. File your FAFSA by May 1.
What Happens Next?
Once all documents are received, we review the financial aid application to determine
financial aid eligibility for all available programs. A financial aid award letter will be sent to the
student. This letter details the financial aid award and includes information regarding:
•
•
institutional financial aid programs and requirements for continued eligibility,
federal and private loan programs (students must complete a loan application to receive
loan funds)
Types of Aid
A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a
specific scholarship or grant (except as noted). The various forms of aid available are listed here
for information only.
In addition to aid administered by Augsburg College, students are urged to investigate the
possibility of scholarships and grants that might be available in their own communities. It is
worthwhile to check with churches, the company or business employing parents or spouses,
high schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid available to
students who meet their requirements. In addition to these sources, some students are eligible
for aid through Rehabilitation Services, Educational Assistance for Veterans, Educational
Assistance for Veterans’ Children, and other sources.

Loan Assistance
Federal Perkins Student Loan—A federally-funded program administered through
Augsburg College for students who demonstrate financial eligibility. No interest accrues nor do
payments have to be made on the principal at any time you are enrolled at least half time in
school. Simple interest of 5 percent and repayment of principal (at the minimum of $40 a month)
begin nine months after you leave school. Repayment may extend up to 10 years. The loan
offers a teacher cancellation clause. The maximum that may be borrowed for undergraduate
study is $16,000.
Federal Stafford Student Loan—Subsidized Stafford Loans are need-based loans that the
federal government subsidizes by paying the interest while the student is in school and during
the grace period.
For the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, interest begins accruing on the date of disbursement
and the borrower is responsible for all interest. The borrower may choose to make payments
while in school or may defer payments and allow interest to accrue and be capitalized (added to
the balance of the loan).
The interest rate for new borrowers through the Subsidized Stafford Loan and the
Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, as of July 1, 2012, is a fixed rate of 6.8%.
The following borrowing limits apply to the Stafford Loan program after July 1, 2010:
o First-years: $5,500 annually (Combined Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford)
o Sophomores: $6,500 annually (Combined Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford)

the interest rate is a fixed rate of 7.9% and a minimum payment of $50 per month. There is also
an origination fee of 4%.
Further information about all student and parent loan programs can be found online at the
Financial Aid website.
Student Employment
Students are able to apply for work study positions through Augsburg’s Human Resources
Office. Part-time work provided by the College is considered financial aid, just like scholarships,
loans, and grants. Students are limited to a maximum of 20 hours of on-campus employment
per week. The number of hours a student can work is dependent on the position and the needs
of the department. However, work is not guaranteed.
All on-campus work is governed by policies stipulated in the work contract issued to the
student employee for each placement. Payment is made bi-weekly by check to the student
employee.
Federal College Work Study Program and Minnesota State Work Study Program—
Under these programs the federal or state government supplies funds on a matching basis with
the College to provide part-time work opportunities.
Student Life
Augsburg’s mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense. Experiences in the
classroom are an important part of college life, yet learning and development also occur in
formal and informal activities of the College and the surrounding area. Whether students take
classes in the day, evening, or weekend, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add
dimension to their education.
Campus Ministry
As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social
growth. Our concern for spiritual growth is evident in the opportunities we encourage and
provide for students to explore their own faith.
Because our campus is comprised of individuals from many different religious and cultural
backgrounds, our worship life is characterized by a similar diversity and richness of tradition.
Bible studies, growth groups, outreach teams, and community outreach opportunities, retreats,
peace and justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are examples of the wide variety of activities
on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and
staff gather each day to give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers
and musicians. Each Wednesday night students gather for Holy Communion. Weekend and
Evening College Chapel is held each Saturday morning when classes meet. On Sundays,
Trinity Lutheran worship services are held on campus, with many other churches within walking
distance.
We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to use and
discover the gifts and sense of call and vocation that God has given them. As a college of the
church, we encourage students to form values guided by our Christian heritage, which will be
the basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond their years at Augsburg.
The college pastor, associate college pastor, and campus ministry staff have offices in the
Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available for
spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or information.
Vocation
Augsburg College has a deep and long-standing commitment to the theological concept of
vocation—the idea that all people can use their individual gifts to serve God’s purposes in the
world and that each person’s contribution is uniquely valuable.
In the spring of 2002, with the generous support of the Lilly Endowment, Augsburg created a
program called Exploring Our Gifts that was designed to help students, staff, and faculty explore
the connections between faith, learning, service, and work. Over the years, the program has
helped embed vocational themes into the curriculum and has sponsored a wide variety of shortterm projects that offer rich opportunities for reflection on how to live with purpose and meaning.
These ongoing projects include internships at nonprofit organizations, off-campus service
projects, international seminars, vocation-themed chapel presentations, interfaith forums,
vocation retreats, and scholarships for students interested in exploring service to the
community, ministry, or church leadership.
When Exploring Our Gifts ended in summer 2010, the College created a permanent center—
the Augsburg Center for Faith and Learning—that keeps vocation at the core of Augsburg’s
vision. This center continues many of the earlier initiatives and carries on the work of promoting
discovery of gifts and discernment of calling among the students, faculty, and staff at Augsburg
as well as members of the larger community.
For further information on how to participate in Augsburg’s vocation programming, visit the
Augsburg Center for Faith and Learning, Oren Gateway Center, Room 106.
Student Government
The Augsburg Day Student Government and the Weekend and Evening College Student
Government organizations support and advocate for student concerns, needs, and activities.
These student government groups serve as the official student governments, and the primary
voice and liaison between students and the administration, faculty, and staff of Augsburg
College.
Campus Activities and Orientation
Campus Activities and Orientation (CAO) creates and implements innovative programming
that fosters individual and community development and creates an environment where students
can connect, engage, and invest in the Augsburg community. CAO programming works to
enhance and supplement the liberal arts and professional studies at Augsburg College through
quality transitional programs for new students as well as through leadership education. CAO is
made up of five program areas:
Campus Activities
CAO offers programs and activities designed to connect and engage students with the
Augsburg community and with the broader Twin Cities community.
Lesbian, Bi-sexual, Gay, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex and Asexual (LBGTQIA)
Services
LBGTQIA Services works to improve the campus environment for all students, staff, faculty,
and visitors at Augsburg College by developing and supporting inclusive understanding of
gender and sexuality, as well as by fostering a community that honors and affirms the
wholeness of all identities.
Student and Group Leadership Development
Programs include Student Group Development and the Emerging Leaders Program (ELP).
CAO advises student groups and provides skill-building workshops focusing on recruiting
members, event planning, facilitating meetings, conflict resolution, and other areas of
development. ELP is an initiative designed to develop new leadership at Augsburg; emerging
leaders learn skills necessary to be effective in leadership roles through intentional learning
opportunities and relationships with upper class mentors.
Orientation Programs
Summer Orientation and Registration (SOAR) is a required two-day, overnight orientation
experience for incoming first-year day students that is designed to help with the transition to
Augsburg College. Students will meet fellow classmates, faculty, and staff; learn about college
resources and services; obtain fall semester schedules; and get a taste of life on campus.
Parent SOAR is an optional orientation experience for the parents and guardians of firstyear day students that runs concurrently with the students’ SOAR session. Parents obtain
important information about the campus; meet fellow parents, faculty, and staff; learn about
college resources and services; and get a taste of what life will be like for their students on
campus.
Transfer SOAR is a required one-day orientation experience for transfer students in the day
program designed to help with the transition to Augsburg College. Students will learn about
College resources and services, hear about academic programs, and discover why being a part
of the Augsburg community is so rewarding.
Auggie Days is a required on-campus orientation experience for incoming first-year day
students, which is designed to complement SOAR. It provides opportunities to enhance
academic and personal success and offers a helpful advantage in starting at Augsburg College.
Student Center
Christensen Center, the Augsburg student union, serves students, faculty, staff, alumni, and
guests. Traditionally considered the “living room” of the campus, the student union provides a
central gathering place for the diverse populations of residential, commuter, Weekend and
Evening College, and graduate students at Augsburg through the merging of curricular and cocurricular programs and activities.
Christensen Center also houses several student services, such as the Office of Admissions,
Campus Activities and Orientation, the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work, Ethnic Student
Services, Event and Conference Planning, the Copy Center, Shipping and Receiving, the
Information Desk, A’viands Food Services, and Mail Services.
The Auggies Nest, located on the ground floor of Christensen Center, serves as the student
group office area and houses the Augsburg Day and Weekend Student Government, the
Augsburg ECHO (campus newspaper) office and the KAUG (campus radio) office. Cubicles,
lockers, and additional workspaces are also available in this area for student group use.
Fine Arts
Students have many opportunities to participate in music and drama. In addition to
appearing on campus and in the city, the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and Orchestra perform
on national and international tours. Many other ensembles are available to cover the entire
range of musical styles and previous musical experience. Students stage several plays on
campus each year under the direction of the Theater Arts Program and have the opportunity to
attend a series of on-campus workshops with visiting arts professionals.
Anne Pederson Women’s Resource Center
The Anne Pederson Women’s Resource Center at Augsburg College is located in Sverdrup
Hall 207, offering a variety of programming for Augsburg students (women and men) and a
meeting place for students, faculty, and staff alike. It houses a women’s studies library, a
seminar room for films and discussions, and a lounge space for studying, relaxing, and just
hanging out. The Women’s Resource Center sponsors numerous programs and activities on
topics such as sexuality education and sexual assault advocacy, as well as broader topics such
as The Vagina Monologues; an annual Feminist Film Series in the spring; monthly brown-bag
lunch discussions, and of course, the Koryne Horbal Convocation Lecture in the fall, which
features women and men who speak about the many issues important to women’s, as well as
everyone’s, lives. The center also regularly co-sponsors annual events for the Muslim Student
Assocation’s Women in Islam Day and for the Asian American Women’s Group.
We would love to support you as an intern or volunteer, or simply to co-sponsor your event!
Contact us or friend us on Facebook. Student staff positions at the WRC are posted online with
Human Resources.
The WRC is the home of the Student Feminist Collective and provides meeting space for
the Asian American Women’s Group, the Sexual Assault Advocacy Group at Augsburg
(SAAGA), and the Women of Africa Resource and Development Association (WARDA). Friend
us on Facebook to learn out about upcoming events.
Athletics and Sports
Intercollegiate Athletics
Augsburg is affiliated with the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) and is a
member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III. Men annually
compete in football, soccer, cross country, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling, baseball, track and
field, and golf. Women annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, ice
hockey, softball, swimming, track and field, and golf.
Intramurals
Every student is urged to participate in some activity for recreation and relaxation. An
intramural program provides competition in a variety of team sports as well as individual
performance activities. Broomball has been an especially popular coed sport. Check schedules
for times when there is open use of the gymnasium and ice arena.
Sports and recreation
At Augsburg, sports are for all students as well as the intercollegiate athlete. The campus
offers, on a space-available basis, a double-rink ice arena, gymnasium, tennis courts, a fitness
center with workout machines and weight room, and an air-supported dome over the athletic
field for winter fitness use by walkers and runners. (See additional information under Health and
Fitness, Fitness Centers.)
Gage Center for Student Success
The Gage Center assists all Augsburg students in setting and achieving optimal academic
goals here at the College and beyond. The center consists of five collaborating units:
Academic Advising
Academic Advising orients new Day and Weekend and Evening College undergraduate
students to the academic policies and procedures of the College and assists students on initial
course selection. This office continues to serve students throughout their tenure at Augsburg by
interpreting core curriculum requirements, administering entry-level skills assessments,
interpreting graduation requirements, providing degree-planning materials, and answering
questions on student academic progress. Academic Advising functions as a supplement to
Augsburg’s faculty advising system and supports the work of professional staff advisers across
campus. The Academic Advising office is located in the Gage Center for Student Success, Link
Level of Lindell Library.
All current students are assigned to a faculty adviser. Prior to the end of their sophomore
year, when they have completed 12 or more credits, students are required to declare a major
and select a faculty adviser. Majors and minors are declared online through Augnet Records
and Registration. Students select a faculty adviser from their major area of study using the
Change of Major/New Adviser Form. All day students are required to meet with their assigned
faculty adviser(s) each term prior to registration. Both day and weekend students are
encouraged to meet with their faculty adviser(s) as often as is necessary.
Center for Learning and Adaptive Student Services (CLASS)
The Center for Learning and Adaptive Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized
accommodations and academic support for students with documented learning, attentional,
psychiatric, and other cognitive disabilities, and for students with physical disabilities. CLASS
has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain full access to the
College curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous
and challenging, yet supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds,
preparations, and experiences.
Support and specialized services are provided to students with documented physical
disabilities, which may include TBI, chronic illness, mobility impairments, and vision, hearing, or
speech impairments.
Each term, disability specialists work directly with students to discuss their disabilities and
determine a plan for academic access. Typically, meetings are held weekly and discussions
may include:
• Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g., extended time, note-taking)
• Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, general technology assistance,
academic advising, counseling, financial aid)
• Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Accommodations Laboratory
• Assistance with academic, organizational, and time management skills
The disability specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisers, and other
members of the College faculty, staff, or administration to support each student as they work
toward success. Taking advantage of those opportunities, however, remains the student’s
responsibility.
These services are available to any Augsburg student who establishes eligibility by
submitting appropriate documentation to CLASS. A copy of the Guidelines for Documentation of
a Disability can be obtained by contacting the CLASS Office. CLASS also provides informal
screenings for students who suspect they may have a learning-related disability. These
screenings are meant only to help students determine whether they should seek a thorough
evaluation by a qualified professional.
Academic accommodations are intended to ensure access to educational opportunities for
students with disabilities. The mandate to provide accommodations does not, however, extend
to adjustments that would “fundamentally alter” the basic nature or essential curricular
components of an institution’s courses or programs.
Housing accommodations are provided on an individual basis for students with disabilities
based on the review of appropriate documentation. The nature of the disability and the amount
of equipment and personal care needed are also considered in housing placement.
These services are made possible in part through endowment support provided by the Gage
family and the Groves Foundation.
Academic Skills Office (ASO)
The Academic Skills Office helps students to achieve their academic goals and become selfdirected learners. Comprehensive academic support (e.g., time management, note-taking,
reading, testing, motivation/procrastination, problem solving, troubleshooting) is available for all
Augsburg students through individual and group appointments. In addition, the Academic Skills
coaches address affective needs and aid in the transition to college. Coaches also refer
students to campus resources.
The Academic Skills Office coordinates several programs to support students:
Tutoring/Supplemental Instruction Services—ASO coordinates free tutoring (contract
and drop-in) for most classes and supplemental instruction in specific courses. Tutors
and SI leaders are recommended by course professors and trained by ASO to provide
tutoring support.
Conditional Admit Program (CAP)—A limited number of students are admitted
conditionally through the CAP program. If CAP students do not meet the program
requirements, they will be continued in the CAP program, placed on probation, or
dismissed. Get more information at the Academic Skills Office website,
www.augsburg.edu/acskills. See the Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal
section of the catalog for a description of probation and dismissal procedures.
Probation Advising—Students placed, continued, or returned to academic probation
are required to meet with an approved academic advocate. A registration hold is placed
on the student's record, which will prevent registration, until the student completes the
probation requirements. Students who do not fulfill the necessary requirements of their
probationary status will be continued on probation and/or dismissed. For more
information on probation requirements, go to the Academic Skills Office website at
www.augsburg.edu/acskills. See the Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal
section of the catalog for a description of probation and dismissal procedures.
Augsburg Advantage at St. Kate’s (AASK)—Based on their application for admission
to Augsburg, the Augsburg College Admissions Committee selects students for the
AASK program. The AASK program is a collaborative effort between St. Catherine
University (St. Kate’s) and Augsburg. The program assists students with the transition
from high school to college with specific courses and supportive programming. The
program provides participants with the opportunity to complete similar coursework that
first-year students complete at Augsburg. Students attend courses on the Minneapolis
campus of St. Catherine University and have access to both campuses for support,
resources, and activities.
Upon successful completion, students are guaranteed sophomore status (minimum of
seven course credits) and will have fulfilled many of the first-year Augsburg
requirements.
To complete the program, students are required to:
•
Complete all required courses (30 semester credits) including Foundations in
Fitness (at Augsburg) with a minimum 3.0 GPA and no course grade below 2.0 or P.
• Satisfactory completion of all Critical Competencies at St. Kates
• Attend all seminars and transition events at Augsburg and St. Kates
• Complete transition application and recommendation process with adviser at St.
Kate’s by March 15.
• Complete the Summer Transition Program (one course and all programming) in
Summer I at Augsburg after year at St. Kate’s.
A second year program, which would allow students to earn an Associate of Arts
degree from St. Catherine’s University, may be an option for students who are unable to
transition after their first year in the AASK program. Students should contact SCU and
Augsburg advisers if interested in this option.
TRiO Programs
TRiO programs are federal student services programs funded by the US Department of
Education, and hosted with additional funding by Augsburg College. TRiO Programs seek to
help students overcome class, social, academic, and cultural barriers to higher education. They
help students prepare for college, adjust to college life, persist in college, and maintain good
academic standing to graduate with a bachelor’s degree, as well as assist with preparation for
graduate school.
TRiO/ Student Support Services
Student Support Services (SSS) is a TRiO program designed to help students persist in
college and graduate in a timely manner. The program serves students who are low-income,
first-generation college students (neither parent has a four-year degree) and/or students with
disabilities to develop the skills and motivation necessary to successfully pursue and earn a
bachelor’s degree. Participants in TRiO/SSS must also be US citizens or permanent residents
or refugees, must demonstrate academic need for program services, and must be committed to
succeed in college.
Augsburg TRiO/SSS serves 160 students from the point of admission through graduation,
including transfer students. TRIO/SSS typically admits 40 new students to the program each
year. Students meet regularly with their program adviser to address academic success issues,
through:
• Individual academic advising and support, including appropriate goal attainment
strategies and self-advocacy skill-building
• Academic program planning, including pre-registration for each term, major and career
decision making, and long-term course planning
• Preemptive tutoring during the first seven weeks of the semester
• Financial aid counseling and financial literacy education
• Assistance with FAFSA renewal and supplemental scholarship applications
• Academic progress monitoring

given to students who apply within their first term of enrollment. For more information,
an application, or to make an appointment with a TRiO/SSS adviser, contact TRiO/SSS
program staff at 612-330-1311 or triosss@augsburg.edu.
TRiO-McNair Scholars Program—The McNair Scholars Program, a federal TRiO program
funded by the US Department of Education, is designed to prepare participants for doctoral
studies through involvement in research and other scholarly activities. The goal of McNair is to
increase graduate degree attainment of students from underrepresented segments of society
and to encourage these students to consider becoming college professors.
McNair Scholars enroll in the program during their sophomore or junior year. Students must
be enrolled full time (or will be enrolled full time) at Augsburg College, demonstrate strong
academic potential, and have an interest in pursuing doctoral studies. To qualify as eligible for
the program, the student must be low-income AND first generation OR a member of a group
underrepresented in graduate study—African American, American Indian, Alaskan Native, or
Hispanic/Latino. The Augsburg McNair program serves 25 students per year.

experience in collaboration with a faculty mentor. For research, scholars receive funding from
the College and the grant for a total of $4,000 stipend plus up to $1,500 for room and board and
up to $500 for research supplies. Stipends are also available for attending and presenting their
work at a professional conference (up to $1,000). Students will also participate in:
• Social and cultural activities to enrich participants’ academic lives and perspectives
• Conference travel and professional presentation of participants’ original research

StepUP® Program
The StepUP program at Augsburg College 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 values: recovery based on spirituality and the
12-step model; personal responsibility, integrity, and living a balanced life; educational success;
giving back through servant leadership; thriving in a community that is an alcohol- and drug-free
environment; and 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, and participate in team and community-building
activities. Students have access to academic skills specialists and other support services on
campus. Participation in Step-UP offers students leadership opportunities within the program,
on campus, and in the greater Twin Cities community. 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 students form while participating in the StepUP program last a lifetime.
In order to qualify for the program students must be committed to a 12-step abstinencebased recovery program, have a minimum of six months of continuous sobriety, agree to abide
by the StepUP contract, and live in StepUP housing.
Ethnic Student Services
American Indian Student Services
The American Indian Student Services program has been assisting American Indian
students to further their academic careers at Augsburg College since 1978. The program’s
mission is to recruit, retain, and graduate Native students by providing academic, financial,
emotional, and cultural support and advocacy in a comfortable and friendly environment. Some
of the services provided include:

many areas, including academic support, counseling, and advocacy.
Day, WEC, and graduate students find assistance in admissions and financial aid
procedures, scholarships, orientation and registration, academic planning, career counseling,
housing, internships and employment, and placement referrals.
The program advises Latino student organizations (such as the Spanish Club and the Allied
Latino/a Augsburg Students) and supports academic, social, and cultural events/activities that
improve the academic and personal development of Hispanic/ Latino students and provide
awareness of the unique aspects of Hispanic culture.
Pan-Asian Student Services
The Pan-Asian Student Services program was created in 1992 to recruit and retain AsianAmerican students and to enhance the quality of their total experience while at Augsburg
College. The program seeks to create opportunities where Asian students can be involved in
and contribute to all aspects of academic and student life.
The program provides assistance in the admissions and financial aid application process,
orientation, registration and coursework selection, career development, academic and nonacademic pursuits, and employment and placement referrals.
The Augsburg Asian Student Association is affiliated with the program. The association
organizes various activities during the academic year to increase the network of friendship and
support for Asians, other students at Augsburg, and the surrounding community.
Pan-Afrikan Student Services
The Pan-Afrikan Center (PAC) traces its roots to an event held in 1968 called “One Day in
May” when Augsburg hosted a series of interactive programs with the community. As a result,
Black Student Affairs was born. It has evolved, over the years, into the PAC.
PAC serves the Augsburg College community by providing culturally-conscious personal,
academic, financial, pre-professional and transitional support for students of Afrikan descent.
This service enhances the recruitment, retention, and graduation of Pan-Afrikan students and
enables their learning experience to be interactive. PAC brings the knowledge and experience
of Afrikan people in the Diaspora to the community through a variety of programming and
advises the Pan-Afrikan Student Union.
The Pan-Afrikan Student Union (PASU) is a commissioned organization whose purpose is
to enable students of Afrikan descent to share their diversity and collectively express their
fellowship with the Augsburg community. PASU sponsors a variety of social and cultural
activities.
Scholastic Connections
Scholastic Connections is a scholarship and mentorship program for achievement-oriented
students of color who are continuing Augsburg undergraduate students. The goal of the
program is to form a mentoring community that provides a network of belonging that recognizes,
supports, challenges, and inspires scholars to ensure their success at Augsburg and beyond.
Each year five new scholars are selected as program participants via an application
process. Scholars receive a $5,000 scholarship for the academic year and are paired with a
mentor who is an alumnus/alumna of color and is successful within their chosen profession.
Working with the Ethnic Services directors, scholar/mentor pairings are formed that, ideally,
match ethnic group and field of interest.
Eligible scholars have:
o A GPA of 2.5 or higher
o Demonstrated financial need
o Demonstrated leadership ability or potential
o Demonstrated community involvement both on and off campus
Program objectives are to:
o Support scholars as they continue at Augsburg
o Frame the questions: Who am I? Where do I belong? What are my gifts? How can I best
serve the world?
o Assist in discerning vocation
o Prepare for life after Augsburg: career planning and implementation
Scholars who successfully complete program requirements are eligible to continue with the
program each successive year until graduation.

springs a dynamic, challenging and
evolving institution that rises to the
challenges of today's - and tomorrow's changing world.
Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in
September, 1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin,
and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The
first college stude,ntswere enrolled in 1874
and the first graduation was in 1879.
Augsburg is committed to educating
the whole person, encouraging and
respecting diversity and serving the larger
community. Through education, understanding and service, Augsburg faculty,
staff and students can affect the future in
positive ways.
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
The phrase, "Think globally, act
locally" rings true at Augsburg. The
College's location in the heart of the Twin
Cities provides rich opportunities for
experiential education, volunteer service,
internships and cultural enrichment. In a
sense, the cities are an extended campus
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
College motto, "Education for service,"
and to the Mission of the College:
To developfuture leaders of service to the
world by providing high quality educational
opportunities which are based in the liberal arts
and shaped by the faith and values of the
Christian Church, by the context of a vital
metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally
diverse campus community.
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary
founded by Norwegian Lutherans in
America, named after the confession of
faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg,
August Weenaas was Augsburg's first
president (1869-1876).
Professor Weenaas recruited two
teachers from Norway -Sven Oftedal and
Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly
articulated the direction of Augsburg: to
educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister
to immigrants and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students
for theological study.
In 1874 they proposed a three part plan:
First, train ministerial candidates; second,
prepare future theological students; and
third, educate the farmer, worker and
businessman. The statement stressed that a
good education is also practical.
Augsburg's next two presidents also
emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts
of education. This commitment to church
and community has been Augsburg's
theme for over one hundred years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist"
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's
second president (1876-1907),required
students to get pre-ministerial experience
in city congregations. Student involvement
in the community gave early expression to
the concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education for Service."
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed
the Friends of Augsburg, later called the
About Augsburg 7
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. But the college division was still
important primarily as an attachment to
the seminary.
The Focus Changed
This attitude began to change after
World War I. In 1911, Georg Sverdrup, Jr.,
became President. He worked to develop
college departments with an appeal to a
broader range of students than just those
intending to be ministers. Augsburg
admitted women in 1922 under the
leadership of Gerda Mortensen, Dean of
Women. She spent the next 52 years at the
College as a teacher and administrator.
The College's mission assumed a
double character -ministerial preparation
together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected
Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and
scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and
civic circles made Augsburg a more visible
part of church and city life.
After World War 11, Augsburg leaders
made vigorous efforts to expand and
improve academic offerings. Now the
College was a larger part of the institution
than the seminary, and received the most
attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential
to a liberal arts college, offering a modern
college program based on general education requirements and elective majors.
With curriculum change came a long effort
to become accredited.
The College reached full accreditation
in 1954, although many alumni had entered
graduate schools and teaching positions
long before that time.
A study in 1962 defined the College's
mission 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
Northwestern Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963.
A College in the City
President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on
involvement with the city. He wanted to
reach out to non-traditional student
populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all people. During his years of
leadership the College became a vital and
integral part of the city. Also in these years,
Augsbwg added the Music Hall,Mortensen
Tower, Urness Tower, the College Center,
Ice Arena and Murphy Place.
Dr. Charles S. Anderson has led the
College since 1980. He guides 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.
Augsburg continues to grow under his
leadership. Some of the accomplishments
during his tenure include instituting three
graduate degree programs, hosting
national and international figures at
College-sponsored forums and events,
increased accessibility and the addition of
the Foss Center for Worship, Drama and
Communication.
- About Augsburg
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.
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts
institution set in the heart of a great
metropolitan center. There are now more
than 11,800 Augsburg alumni. In a world
that has changed much since those first
days of the College, Augsburg still sends
out graduates who make a difference
where they live and work.
CAMPUS LOCATION
Augsburg's campus is located in the
heart of the Twin Cities, surrounding
Murphy Square, the first of 155 parks in
Minneapolis, the "City of Lakes." The

Center - is adjacent to the campus, with
the Mississippi River and the Seven
Corners theater district just a few blocks

Financing higher education could be the
most significant investment a person or
family makes in a lifetime. So, proper
planning and wise choices are important,
not only in choosing a college, but also in
the methods used to pay for it. Augsburg
College, through its Office of Student
Financial Services, will help students and
their families with both monetary and
advisory assistance to protect access to a
quality education in spite of increasing
costs.
Financial assistance awarded through
Augsburg is a combination of scholarships,
grants, loans and part-time work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal,
state, church and private agencies in
providing various aid programs. For the
1993-'94 academic year, nearly 9 out of 10
students at Augsburg received scholarships,
grants, loans and part-time employment.
The primary responsibility for financing
a college education rests upon the student
and family. Financial aid is intended to
supplement student and family resources.
The Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Augsburg
Financial Aid Application help determine
the amount of assistance for which a
student is eligible. This analysis estimates
the amount a student and family can be
expected to provide for college expenses,
taking into account such family financial
factors as current income, assets, number of
dependents, other educational expenses,
debts, retirement needs and special
considerations.

Federal Stafford Student Loans Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford
Loan funds are obtained directly from a
local lender or state agency in states which
provide such programs. Subsidized
Stafford Loans are need-based loans which
the federal govenunent subsidizes by
paying accrued interest while in school and
during the grace period. Therefore, the
borrower is not responsible for interest
accrued while in school or during the sixmonth grace period.
Interest begins accruing on the date of
disbursement for the Unsubsidized
Stafford Loan and the borrower is responsible for all interest. The borrower may
choose to make payments while in school
or may defer payments and allow interest
to be capitalized (added to the balance of
the loan).
The interest rate for new borrowers
through the Subsidized and Unsubsidized
Stafford Loan is variable and changes
annually based on the 91-day Treasury Bill.
For students with existing loans, the
interest rate will match the interest rate on
their existing loans (7%,8%, 9% or
S%/lO%).
The following borrowing limits apply
to the Stafford Loan program after July 1,

is its faculty. Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. ~ o sfaculty
t
hold the
dodorate or other terminal degree and all
consider teaching to be the focus of their
activity. Faculty are involved in social,
professional and a variety of research
activities, but see these activities as supporting their teaching. They are actively
involved in an exciting faculty development
program which introduces them to current
thought in many fields but especially in
teaching techniques and theories.
Augsburg's size and small classes
encourage its tradition of close involvement
between professors and students. Faculty
act as academic advisers and participate
regularly in campus activities. Every
freshman is assigned a First Year Experience
(FYE) adviser and, later, chooses a major
adviser. In this close interaction, faculty act
as both mentors and models for students.

Pre-Professional Programs
Students who plan to enter the fields
of law, medicine, dentistry, the ministry,
veterinary science, pharmacy or engineering can profit from a liberal arts education
at Augsburg.
It is recommended that requirements for
admission to graduate schools or seminaries
be reviewed and the course of study at
Augsburg planned accordingly. A faculty
adviser is available in each field to assist
students in their planning. Students who
want to plan a pre-professional program
should contact the Assistant to the Dean for
Academic Advising early in their freshman
year to arrange for help from the appropriate faculty adviser.
Pre-Dentistry - These courses are
recommended to fulfill the minimum
requirements of the School of Dentistry at
the University of Minnesota: ENG, two
courses; BIO 113,114; PHY 121,122; CHM
115,116 (or 105,106), 351,352; MAT 124;
PSY 105. Requirements at other universities

Augsburg College has cooperative
arrangements with three universities to
allow the student to earn a Bachelor of Arts
degree from Augsburg College and an
engineering degree from either the University of Minnesota Institute of Technology,
Minneapolis; Washington University School
of Engineering and Applied Science, St.

A GREETING
FROM THE
On behalf of the entire college community, I welcome you to Augsburg
College. It is a pleasure to introduce the College to prospective students and
to use thisopportunity to welcome new and returning students.
Augsburg has earned a reputation as an affordable, quality liberal arts
college of the church. The mission of the College, its academic programs and
its metropolitanlocation attract a wide variety of students, a diversity which
is actively encouraged. Whether from a small town, a large city or another
country, all students enjoy the sense of community here at Augsburg.
The College continues to grow at a mnarkable pace, building on a tradition
of excellence in its programs, faculty, students and facilities. It is a place
where community, national and world leaders meet to discuss issues and
ideas.
I invite you to become part of this tradition of excellence -Augsburg is an
exciting and challenging place to prepare for your future.
I look forward to meeting you on campus.
President
Augsburg College is grounded in traditions -the traditions of its founders,
of the church and of higher education in the liberal arts. From this framework springs a dynamic, challenging and evolving institution that rises to
the challenges of today's -and tomorrow's -changing world.
Augsburg is committed to educating the whole person, encouragingand
respecting diversity and serving the larger community. Through education,
understanding and service, Augsburg faculty, staff and students can affect
the future in positive ways.
The phrase, 'Think globally, act locally, rings true at Augsburg. The
College's location in the heart of the Twin Cities provides rich opportunities
for experiential education, volunteer service, internships and cultural
enrichment. In a sense, the cities are an extended campus for Augsburg
students.
Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a
difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto,
"Education for Service," and to the Mission of the College:
To dmelopfuture ltnders of service to the world by proznding high quality educational oj?prtunifies which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and
values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by
an intentionally diverse campus community.
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 college
students were enrolled in 1874 and the first graduation was in 1879.
August Weenaas was Augsburg's first president (1869-1876).
Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway -Sven Oftedal
and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of
Augsburg: to educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and
to provide such "college1' studies that would prepare students for theological study.
In 1874 they proposed a three part plan: First, train ministerial candidates;
second, prepare future theological students; and third, educate the farmer,
worker, and businessman The statement stressed that a good education is
also practical.
Augsburg's next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower
concepts of education. This commitment to church and community has been
Augsburg's theme for over one hundred years.
Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist" college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's
second president (18761907), required students to get pre-ministerial
experience in city congregations.Student involvement in the community
gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education for
Service."
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called
the Lutheran Free-Church.The church was a group of independentcongregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity.
This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the
small Lutheran body. But the college division was still important primarily
as an attachment to the seminary.
This attitude began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup,
Jr. became President He worked to develop college departmentswith an
appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be
ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922under the leadership of
Gerda Mortensen, Dean of Women. She spent the next 52 years at the
College as a teacher and administrator.
The College's mission assumed a double character -ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937,
Augsburg elected Bernhard Quistensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher,
to be pmident (1938-1%2).His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles
made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life.
After World War JI, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and
improve academic offerings. Now the College was a larger part of the
institution than the seminary, and received the most attention.
Augsburg added departmentsessential to a liberal arts college, offering a
modern college program based on general education requirements and
elective majors. With curriculum change came a long effortto become
accredited.
The College reached full accreditation in 1954, although many alumni had
entered graduate schools and teaching positions long before that time.
A study in 1962 definedthe College's mission now as serving the good
society as a whole first and the interests of the Lutheran Fnx Church
second. The Seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther
Northwestern Seminary)in St. Paul in 1963.
President Oscar A. Anderson (19&1980) continued Augsburg'semphasis
on involvement with the city. He wanted to reach out b non-traditional
student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all people.
During his years of leadership the College became a vital and integral part
of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen
Tower, Urness Tower, the College Center, Ice Arena and Murphy Place.
Dr. Charles S. Anderson has led the College since 1980.He guides
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.
Augsburg continues to grow under his leadership. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting Weekend College and three
Master of Arts degree programs, hosting national and international figures
at College-sponsoredforums and events, increased accessibility and the
addition of the Foss Center for Worship, Drama and Communication.
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.
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution set in the heart of a great metre
politan center. There are now more than lO,W Augsburg alumni. In a world
that has changed much since those first days of the College, Augsburg still
sends out graduates who make a differencewhere they live and work.
Augsburg's campus is located in the heart of the Twin Cities, surrounding

to pay for it. Augsburg College, through its Office of Student Financial
Services, will help students and their families with both monetary and
advisory assistanceto protect access to a quality education in spite of
i n m i n g costs.
Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg is a combination of
scholarships,grants, loans and part-time work opportunities. The College
cooperates with federal, state, church and private agencies in pmviding
various aid programs. For the 1989-'90 academic year approximately 83
percent of all students at Augsburg received xholarships, grants, loans and
part-time employment totalling over $11,500,000 from all aid sources.

student and family. Financial aid is intended to supplement student and

Program (ACT) or the Financial Aid Form (FAF) of the College Scholarship
Service (CSS)helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student

financial factorsas current income, assets, number of dependents, other
educational expenses, debts, retirement needs and special considerations.

'Indicates e n d o d scholarships
Experiences in the classroom are an important part college llife, but
learning and development also occur in formal and infomral activities
@the College and the metropolitan area. Whetherstudents are residents m commuters, the climatefor learning and living at Augsburg
will add dirnensiun to their education.
As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual as well as
academic and social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth is evident in
the opportunitieswe encourage and provide for students to explore their
own faith.
Because our campus is comprised of individuals from many different
religious and cultural backgrounds, our worship life is characterized by a
similar diversity and richness of tradition. Bible studies, fellowship groups,
outreach teams, planning committees, retreats, peace and justice forums,
concerts and plays are examples of the wide variety of activities on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where
students, faculty and staff gather each day to give thank. and hear the
Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays, Trinity
Lutheran worship services are held on campus, with many other churches
within walking distance.
We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to use and discover the gifts that God has given them. As a college of
the church, we encourage students to form values guided by our Christian
heritage, which will be the basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches
beyond their years at Augsburg.
The College Pastor has an office in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center and is
available for spiritual guidance, counseling. support or information.
Through student government, students secure a closer relationship with
and better understanding of the administration and faculty, and provide
input into the decision-making process at Augsburg. Student government
also sponsors and directs student activities, protects student rights and
provides the means for discussions and action on all issues pertaining to
student life at Augsburg.
Student government is orgaruzed into the executive branch, the legislative
branch and the judicial branch. Elections are held in the spring for the next
year. Freshmen elect their representatives in the fall of their first year. Many
kinds of involvement are possible -program planning, writing editing or
service opportunities. If you want to get involved, contact the President or
Vice Fresident of the Student Body in their officesin the Christensen Center.
Throughout the year, a variety of social and cultural activities takes place on
campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These activities include dances, special
dinners, theme events, name entertainment and visiting personalitiesin
various fields.
The Christensen Center is the focus of leisure-time activity on campus.
Officesfor the College newspaper, the Augsburg Echo, and the yearbook,
the Augsburgian, are on the lower level. Many of the clubs that unite
classroom or non-classroom related interests meet in the Center. KCMR,a
studentaperated non-profit radio station senring the needs of Augsburg
and the surrounding Cedar-Riverside community, is located in Umess
Tower.
Students have many opportunities to participate in music and drama. In
addition to appearing on campus and in the city, the Augsburg Choir,
Concert Band and Orchestra perform on national and international tours.

General Information
HISTORY AND AIMS
FUNDAMENTAL
AIMS
T h e educationai purposes of Augsburg College and Theological
Seminary spring from the conviction that Christianity is rhe fundamental force for good in human life. All rhe aims of rhe College,
as well as those of the Seminary, are bound together by this principle. To express more distinctty the meaning of this, the following statement of aims has been formulated by the College faculty:
T o lead the studemt to a deeper understanding and pe~sonal
realization of the truth and power of the Chr3stian Gospel, to
the end that he may become an effective participant in the
evangelical and missionary task of the Church and an earnest
advocate of the Christian way of life both for the individual and
for society.
To fawiliarize fbe d t ~ d e n twith the rult7~r.cof 01tr owrt a d
other rhilizothtr~,not only for the enjoyment this knowledge
a£fords but also for the development of a more sympathetic
understanding of our fellow men throughout the world.
T o dmelop fbe student's ititeresf it# flse attainment of t h ~
r o ~ ~ ~parposes
w m of m&rcu?~.rr.try,
so that he may work f o r the
wetfare of our institutions and for the preservation of our
liberties in communiry and nation, and also develop an enlightened interest and participarion in human affairs throughout the rest of the worId.
T o cultivate in the student a Cht-istian social spirit, in order
that he may realize in his life a right balance between what he
expects of others and the service he will render his fellow men.
T o teach the shcdefzt to discijlitre his own urges, interests,
ambitions, and Aemunds in a way that will effectively contribute toward the development of good character.
T o train the studercf in scientific methods of study and also
develop his understanding of the relations of science to the
welfare of humanity.
To stirnd.de intellectuul iderest and dewelup schhzrly insight, so that the student may learn to think with accuracy
and comprehension at the same time as he experiences an understanding of truth which will help him to integrate the findings of science with the deepest spiritual reality.
T o a w b n and foster in the student an intelligent appreciatfon and enjoyment of the best in the fields of the fine arts.
T o guide the student in the 1cnderstading of sochd relationsb@s in order that he may take his place in groups and gatherings with propriety and grace, motivated in his conversation
and conduct by the principles of Christian courtesy and sincerity.
T o provide guidance for the studeat in the discovery and
clarification of his aptitudes and his Zife purposes so that as
early as possible he may plan his educational program wisely.

training towards the study of medicine, dentistry, nursing, engineering, law, and social service, and offering a four-year
college course preparing for the study of theology.
T o help the student develop certain skills, as in language,
music, physical activities, use of the library, laboratory work,
and typewriting, together with other skills, which will increase
his egciency in the various relationships of life.
T o aford tbe student wblesome r e m e a t i d experieme which

in 1879.
In ~ g o a high EIChPoIcawme covering three years was e s d i & d
which in 19x0 w a ~
w a standard four-pr came, This
was Wntieaed in 1933. In the years I ~ X & E ~ Xthe
~ cnlIep
first class was graduated
course was thoroughly revised in conformity with modern developments. As a result of this and of subsequent growth, the strictly
classical course has been largely modified and supplemented by
social and scientific studies and a more general emphasis upon the
study of the humanities. During 'the past ten years Majors' have
been added in the fields of Business Administration, Sckiology,
Physical Education, Music, and Home Economics. Until 1921
only men were admitted, but in that year coeducation was introduced.
In the Theological Seminary there has likewise been introduction
of new courses and enlargement of the faculty. Standards of admission have been raised so that a bachelor's degree or equivalent
is now the required scholastic preparation. While the Theological
Seminary has its own organization, the Seminary and the College
function in close cooperation. Long experience has proved such
an arrangement mutually wholesome and stimulating.
Five Presidents have served Augsburg during the course of its
history. The terms of oflice of two of these cover a span of over
half a century. The first President was August Weenaas, who
served from 1869 to 1876. He was succeeded by Georg Sverdrup,
I 876 t o 1907. Sven Oftedal served from 1907 to 191I and was
followed by George Sverdru~,whose term extended from I 9 I I to
1937. H. N. Hendrickson served as Acting President from 1937
until the election of Bernhard Christensen in 1938.
From I 870 to I 890, Augsburg was supported by the NorwegianDanish Lutheran Conference. The merger of that church body
with two others, in 1890, resulted in the aililiation of Augsburg
with the newly created United Norwegian Lutheran Church. Due
to ditFerences concerning the control of Augsburg a division arose,
and in 1897 congregations whose sympathies were deeply rooted in
Augsburg formed the Luthcrzn Free Church. The resulting close
association, in educational and spiritual activity, of Augsburg and
the Lutheran Free Church has been marked by complete harmony
of purpose and ideals for more than haIf a century.
The control exercised by the Lutheran Free Church is indirect.
The Annual Conference of the Church nominates the members
of the Augsburg Corporation and the Board of Trustees. The Cor-
poration through the Board of Trustees exercises direct control
over property, finance, and personnel. Academic control is vested
in the President and the Faculty.
In addition to the income from student tuition and fees, which
has materially increased with the growth and development of the
College, the chief hancial support of the institution comes from
the congregations of the Lutheran Free Church. In recent years a'
growing circle of friends also outside the Lutheran Free Church,
both alumni and others, have contributed financially t o the support of the school. Augsburg welcomes and invites such support on
the part of all who believe in her program of vital Christian education.
Augsburg College is a member of the Association of American
college& the National Lutheran Educational Conference, the Association of Minnesota Colleges, and the State Council of Minnesota Colleges.
BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT
LOCATION
Augsburg College and Theological Seminary is located in the
Riverside Park area of South Minneapolis, across the Mississippi
River from the University of Minnesota and within walking distance of the main business section of the city. Science Hall, containing the administration oaces, is located at the corner of Seventh Street and Twenty-first Avenue South. Augsburg students
have the advantage of getting their college education in a metropolitan center pulsating with industrial, social, and cultural activities. They have access to libraries, museums, and art collections.
They may hear the best music and lectures. They may contact
modern life at one of its focal points.
BUILDINGS
The Main, erected in 1900, contains the Chapel, the Library,
the Seminary classrooms and osces, and a number of college classrooms and ogces.
Science Hall, erected in 1948-49 and taken into use at the beginning of the present school year, is a large and completely modern college building. I t includes, besides the administration offices, well-equipped laboratories for Chemistry, Physics, Biology,
and Home Economics, as well as the student organization offices,
the Student Center, a small auditorium, classrooms,. and faculty
offices. On the fourth floor is the Tower Prayer Chapel.
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall, erected in 1938, is a modern,
fireproof dormitory affording living quarters for about 150 men.
On the ground floor of this building is the college cafeteria and
dining hall.
Sivertsen Hall, acquired in 1939, is a splendid dormitory accommodating about 50 women. Plans are under way for the
erection of an addition to this dormitory.
Morton Hall, erected in 1888, and Edda House, purchased and
remodeled in 1948, are smaller dormitories for women, each accommodating about 2 0 students.
During 1947 two new buildings were added, both located on
23rd Avenue across the Square from the older part of the Campus.
The Gymnasium, a well-built and well-equipped temporary structure, was erected for the College by the Federal Works Agency
as a part of a program providing educational facilities for veterans.
The Music Hall, formerly the Tabernacle Baptist Church, was
acquired by purchase, and remodeled to serve the needs of the
Music Department.
Quite a number of dwellings have been acquired in recent years
in the expanded campus area, which are used for faculty and
student housing until this need can be met through more permanent structures. Also three temporary housing units have been
erected by the Federal Works Agency on the campus ground.
The President's Home, a beautiful residence of modern architectural design, located at the south of the Square, was erected in
1949.
Some years ago the beginning was made of a Museum for the
school. Members of the Alumni Association have presented manv
valuable gifts. There are several collections: a Madagascar Col-
lection, a Santal Collection, and a considerable collection of rare
minerals, curios, etc. Contributions should be sent to Prof. L.
Lillehei, Curator.
In the spring of 1929 the Augsburg Archive Society was organized. The purpose of this organization is to gather and preserve
documents, books, and other articles of historical value. To house
the Archives a fire-proof room which was provided in the Main
has been replaced recently by a large room on the ground floor of
Science Hall. Here are now found a fine collection of periodicals,
old and rare books, manuscripts, letters, and pictures, and also
about ~ , o o ovolumes of Norwegian-American literature, affording rich resources for scholarly research. Further contributions
to the Archives should be sent to Prof. L. Lillehei, Archivist.

exclusive of pamphlets.
Two hundred of the best periodicals, and pamphlets dealing
with popular subjects, and a number of serials devoted to the interests of special fields are received currently.
Students have access to the Library daily from 7:45 A. M. to
1o:oo P. M. On Saturday the Library closes at 4:00 P. M.
In the Twin City area other libraries are located which make
their holdings available to Augsburg students, notably, the St.
Paul and Minneapolis public libraries, the latter of which issues
library cards to out-of-town students for each school year; the
James Hill Reference Library in St. Paul, which has one 'of the
finest reference collections in the Northwest; and the University
of Minnesota Library, which is within walking distance of the
Augsburg campus and is a splendid source of materials for research
papers. Each year Augsburg students make extensive use of all
these libraries.
The laboratories of the Natural Sciences are located in the
Science Hall.
Three laboratories and two storerooms for Biology are located
on the second floor; three laboratories and a large storeroom for
Chemistry, and a laboratory and the two storeroams for Physics
are located on the third floor.

STUDENT COMMUNITY LIFE
The influences which mould life and character on a college campus are of many kinds. While the exercises of classroom, laboratory,
and library form the organizing basis of college activity, they need
to be supplemented by other than academic forces. These intangible
but very real supplementary influences have much to do with
creating the spirit of an institution. At Augsburg definite emphasis is placed upon the maintenance of a wholesome spirit of
Christian community living. Students are urged to give conscious
attention to this personal and spiritual side of their development
and thus contribute toward the prevalence of a vital and happy
Christian atmosphere on the campus.
I t is the earnest desire of those who direct the policies of Augsburg that the institution may constantly be permeated by an at-
GENERALINFORMATION
mosphere in which the quest for Truth as it is in Christ is prayerfully fostered in the life of each student.
23
In order to help toward attaining these goals the faculty and
students gather in chapel every day for a brief meditation upon
the Word of God and the deepest needs of the human soul. Regular attendance is expected of all students. All students are required to register for two class hours per week in one of the courses
&red in Religion. There are numerous voluntary religious activities in which students are urged to participate. Spiritual Emphasis Week is heId twice each year. It is assumed that every Augsburg student will find a church home in Minneapolis and attend
its services regularly.
CULTURAL
OPPORTUNITIES
Augsburg's location in Minneapolis gives its students unique
opportunities to make use of some of the finest educational and
cultural advantages which the Northwest has to offer. Excellent
art collections are to be found in The Minneapolis Institute of
Arts and the Walker Art Gallery. The Twin City libraries are
large and extensive in their services. The Historical Museum in
St. Paul gives access to large collections of historical material.
In the Twin Cities are located both the University of Minnesota
and several colleges, affording contacts which are conducive to intellectual and cultural stimulus and development.
CONVOCATION
Regular convocation programs are held a t Augsburg &roughout
the year. These programs aim to acquaint the campus community
with outstanding personalities and problems in various fields. A
wide range of interests is covered, including the scientzc, political,
social, religious, and artistic.
STUDENT PERSONNEL SERVICES
ADMINISTRATION
The coordination of the many ~ersonnelservices is the responsibility of a twelve-member Faculty Council headed by the Dean
of the College. Individual members of the Council or subcommittees direct the various activities, which include academic and
personal counseling, housing and food service, recreation and
health, employment and placement, and student activities.
1
The Luther League, the Mission Society, the Lutheran Student
Association, the National Student Association Council, and a
large number of departmental and special interest clubs are directly supervised by the Student Council. A Student-Faculty committee of eight members promotes and supervises student activities
serving as a liaison between the Faculty and Student Councils.
The counseling program for new students begins as soon as the
Admissions and Scholarship Committee has approved their applications. All available data concerning each prospective student are
combined with test results obtained during Freshman Week for
use during registration.
Each new student is assigned a faculty counselor, generally on
the basis of mutual academic interest. This assignment continues
for the first two years. At a scheduled period during Freshman
Week, the student meets with his counselor for registration. At
least three additional counseling periods are scheduled for each
semester. Whenever he feels the need, the student is encouraged
to see his counselor for help to discover and develop as fully as p a sible his latent abilities. Upper-class students are counseled by
their major advisers.
Additional counseling is provided for the students by the use
of student counselors. Each entering Freshman is assigned a student counselor, who works with a faculty counselor in each instance. The program is organized by a Student Counselor Steering Committee working with the Personnel Committee.
Adjustment to college is one of several subjects introduced during Freshman Week. The various phases of this important problem of personal adjustment are given thorough study in the Orientation course which meets one hour per week throughout the
first semester. Vocational possibilities within the divisional organization of the College are presented and course sequences are discussed. Personal and health probl&s, social adjustment, vocational and educational aims are examined from the point of view
of individual needs.
Special problems in counseling are referred to the Personnel
Committee, which is composed of a member of the Department of
Christianity, the Registrar, a professor of Psychology, the Director
of Physical Education, the Dean of Women, and the Dean of Men,
who serves as chairman. The administration of the counseling
program is the work of the Personnel Committee.
A system of referral makes available to any student the resources
and special abilities of the entire faculty. Through all phases of
the counseling program, the primary aim is the welfare of the individual student.
The personal problems of the students are dealt with in the light
of the following spiritual purposes and ideals. It is expected
of each student that his life, conduct, and influence, both on and
off campus, shall be worthy of a member of a Christian College.
Those who do not feel drawn to this quality of life and to the
fellowship in which it is nourished should not seek to be enrolled
at Augsburg. A truly Christian spirit and environment must be
the product of the united effort and prayer of faculty, students,
and administration.
The Christian ideals of Augsburg give no room for such demoralizing practices as gambling, drinking, frequenting of public
dances, indiscriminate attendance at movies, and objectionable
card playing. Students enrolled at Augsburg must, therefore, not
participate in such practices.
Augsburg reserves the right t o dismiss or to discipline any student who is not amenable t o advice and direction. The school likewise reserves the right to dismiss any student whose general conduct or influence is unwholesome. Such a student may be removed
although no formal charge is made against him.
RECREATION AND
SOCIALLIFE
"No man is a hypocrite in his pleasures." To learn to enjoy the
right form of recreational activities is an important aspect of preparation for life. A t Augsburg there is a definite attempt to encourage the formation of helpful recreational habit-patterns, not
only as regards the definitely planned play-program supervised and
directed by the Department of Physical Education, but as regards
the use of leisure time in general. Wholesome social activities of
many kinds are fostered and encouraged. Also in this area the goal
is "to see all things through the eyes of Christ."
The Stdent Center, in the new Science Hall, serves as a social,
cultural, and conference area for students. During the day, students use the Center as a general reading and committee room.
The campus post o6ce is adjacent to the Student Center, as
are also The Student Council Room and The Echo and The Augsburgian o0ices.
The Prayer Chapel in the tower of the new Science Hall is open
at all times for quiet meditation and prayer. Smaller groups may
request the use of the chapel for devotional meetings.
A room for off campus men is located in Sverdrup-Oftedal
Memorial Hall and for off campus women in Morton Hall.
All students who are not living at home are required to room in
the College dormitories, unless permission to room elsewhere is
granted by one of the Deans. Such permission must be secured
before final arrangements are made.
Residents in dormitories are required to take their meals in the
College dining hall except those students who are employed away
from the College. The charges for room and board are payable in
advance.
The residence halls are open for the occupancy of students on
the day preceding the beginning of registration. Temporary arrangements may be made for students who have permission to
come early to seek employment. Meals are served commencing on
the morning of the first. day of registration.
Dormitories are officially closed daring all vacations within
twenty-four hours after the last session of -class work except by
special arrangement with the Deans.
Dormitory residents are held responsible for breakage or injury
to the furniture and furnishings.
The College believes in the educational value of group living
under faculty supervision. It is expected that life in the dormitories should foster the development of Christian character, selfcontrol, and consideration for the rights of others.
SVERDRUP-OFTEDAL
MEMORIAL
&L
This dormitory for men, erected in 1938, accommodates about
students. The modern arrangement of the dormitory, with its
suites of two rooms for every three or four students, helps to make
this an inviting College home for men. The rooms are furnished
except for bedding and linen.
I 50
HOUSINGFOR WOMEN
The college operates a cottage plan of supervised residences for
women, pending the building of the planned additions to Sivertsen
Hall.
College-operated residences for women include Sivertsen Hall,
2323 South Sixth Street, which houses fifty; Morton Hall, 730
rznd Avenue South, which houses twenty; Edda House, 2222 7%
Street South, which houses twenty-four.
Rooms are furnished except for bedding and linens. Laundry
facilities are provided in each unit.
Assignment of rooms is made after the first of August. An
attempt is made to assign the rooms so as to meet the student
interests and needs, and to create congenial housing units.
Sivertsen Hall, acquired in 1939 through the generosity of Dr.
Ivar Sivertsen, accommodates about fifty Freshman women students. The first floor has a large reception room used for social
functions. In the basement are a kitchenette and a recreation room.
Applications for rooms should be sent as soon as a student is
notified of his acceptance. Applicants will be assigned to dormitory
rooms in the order in which their applications are received.
Rooms are assigned to present occupants of the dormitories by
August first. After that, they are assigned to new applicants in
the order of application.
Students who cannot be accommodated in permanent dormitories may find rooms in temporary housing units. Rooms in approved private homes are also available. Arrangements for these
rooms are made through the Personnel Office.
For married students, the college has two temporary housing
buildings, each accommodating four families.
FOOD SERVICE
The ground floor of the Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall houses
a cafeteria and dining-haall, a social room, and a private diningroom.
All students, campus and off campus, share in the privilege of
using these service units. The dining-hall will furnish food at
cost to student groups, for special parties or picnics.
The program of health service is in charge of the Director of
Physical Education and Recreation, who is assisted by the School
Physician and the School Nurse. It includes regular physical examinations, corrective measures where needed, and a school-wide
program of recreation and physical training. Infirmary Rooms are
provided for the use of those who are ill. The ogce is in Room I I I,
Memorial Hall.
Students, faculty, and staff have chest X-rays taken semi-annually through the cooperation of the Hennepin County Tuberculosis Association Mobile Unit. The service is free.
A large number of college students find it necessary to secure
part-time employment while carrying on their studies. The Employment Service, operated by the Oflice of Public Relations, has
been successful in placing hundreds of men and women students
in part-time positions. Many Minneapolis institutions and firms
have gladly cooperated in this enterprise. The types of work secured are of many kinds, including recreational leadership, restaurant work, domestic service, sales work, and secretarial and
clerical work.
Students are employed by the college in many activities. For
these positions preference is given to upper-class students who
have maintained a good scholastic average.
AppIication forms for part-time employment on or off campus
may be secured from the Oflice of Public Relations.
The Placement Bureau seeks to assist members of the graduating
class, as well as alumni, in securing positions. A registration fee
and a small placement fee are charged.
