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.

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.

Myth and Myth Making
HIS 219-47037
419-47038
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.

MAT 133-47075
Instructor:Bev Stratton
Are you afraid of math? If so, this course is for you. We will have
fun with math and convince you that you can do math.
As a starting point, we will use the writings of Martin Gardner, an
individualwho for many years wrote a column on mathematics for
Scientific American. Then we will help you use your common
sense to explore such mathematical concepts as logic, paradoxes,
number theory, patterns, symmetry and other topics of interest to
the class.
Evaluation will be based on class participation and short reaction
papers to Gardner's columns.
This course should be particularly helpful for elementary education majors.

The Logical Game of Mathematics
MAT 241-47041
Instructor:Larry Copes
Lower-divisionmathematics students generally play only games
of calculation and concepts. But DOING mathematics as professionals requires an ability to prove and disprove conjectures and
to write up proofs. The objectives of this course are to help prospective mathematics majors gain or improve those skills, and to
get a taste of REAL mathematics before cornrniting themselves to
a major. Toward that end there will be daily assignments and
weekly exams, including a cumulative final exam.

Issues in Science and Religion
REL 374-47055
Instructors: John Benson and Mark Engebretson
For some in our society science is the driving engine of a better,
more secure life. For others, including some Christians, science
and its associated technologies constitute a grave threat.
This course will begin with a historical overview of the relations
between science and the Christian faith, emphasizing three periods; the origins of the Christian faith, the development of "modern" science and mechanistic philosophy; and the reevaluation of
science and nature in the 20th century
The following are some of the questions to be dealt with: Has science made the Bible obsolete? Are scientists really that smart?
Has modern physics made it easier to be a Christian? Can computers save us? Why do science and religion always seem to be
fighting one another?
Grades will be based on class discussion of assigned readings, two

SOCIOLOGY
H Ethnicity and Community in Urban Society
SOC 261-47060
Instructor: Gordon Nelson
It has been suggested that the persistence of ethnic neighborhoods in American cities has functioned as a locus of community
in urban life. Moreover, it is argued that these communities have
provided stability and identity in the face of the dehumanizing
tendencies in an industrialized and bureaucratized society This
course will attempt ~ K Imsess the extent to which the foregoing
assertions might apply to ethnic ncjghborhoods in the Twin Citi e ~ATtor
.
some prehmhwy background sessions and readings,
each member of the class will be asked, either individually or as
part of a group, to explore a particular ethnic community in the

Ethics in Communication
SPC 340-47064
Instructor:Ray Anderson
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
to make ethical decisions.
Activities will include lectures, readings, case studies, interviews,
oral reports, papers, debates, and two examinations. The emphasis will be on case studies involving situations encountered in
everyday life.

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.

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
educate students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible
leaders.”
What has prompted you to study this map of Augsburg College? If you’re already enrolled at
Augsburg, I trust you will continue to find here the awe and wonder of an educational
experience that is meaningful and challenging. I hope you will be reminded of the relationships
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
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 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
be able to share your own talents and skills. Augsburg’s challenging academic environment is
enhanced by both education and service experiences that transform theory into action and unite
the liberal arts with the practical in preparing students as faithful citizens in a global society.
The experience you are undertaking at Augsburg—or thinking of undertaking—will occur on

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

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

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.

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%.

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.

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,

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:
• Assisting students with the admission process and financial aid application
• Nurturing students’ identification as an American Indian and providing opportunities for
students to learn about their heritage
• Providing opportunities for the campus community to learn about the variety of American
Indian people and cultures
• Providing academic advising and course plans
• Providing opportunities to network with other American Indian students, faculty, staff, and
alumni
• Providing a number of different scholarships, including the Bonnie Wallace Leadership
Award, Minnesota Indian Teacher Training Partnership Grant, and additional assistance in
seeking and applying for other outside/tribal scholarships
•
Offering community and professional referrals, networking opportunities within the Native
community and information about jobs and internships
Hispanic/Latino Student Services
The Hispanic/Latino Student Services program offers students individualized attention in
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.
LGBTQIA Services
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual (LGBTQIA)
Services works to improve the campus climate for all students, staff, faculty and visitors at
Augsburg College by developing and supporting inclusive understandings of gender and
sexuality, as well as fostering a community that honors and affirms the wholeness of all
identities.
LGBTQIA Services provides student advocacy and educational opportunities for the entire
campus through a variety of programs and ongoing initiatives. Ally Trainings; the Soup, Gender,
and Sexuality series; and the LGBTQIA Newsletter offer learning and networking opportunities
for the entire campus on issues around gender and sexuality. In addition, the department
honors LGBTQIA and allied students each year during Lavender Graduation, where the
recipients of the LGBTQIA Student Leadership Award and Karen Neitge Scholarship are
honored.

A
ugsburg College
in
- is grounded
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.
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.

1 FRESHMEN
Application for Admission -Applicants should complete the application for
admission and the essay and return them
to the Admissions Office together with the
non-refundable $20.00 application fee.
Transcripts - An official transcript
from the high school is required of freshman applicants. Freshman applicants who
are still high school students at the time of
application should have their most recent
transcript sent, followed by a final transcript upon graduation. General Education

required to submit results from the college
entrance examination. The American
College Test (ACT) is preferred. Results
from SAT or PSAT are also accepted. It will
suffice if test scores are recorded on the
official high school transcript.

personal information that may have
affected the applicant's previous academic
performance, it may be included with the
application or discussed personally with an
Admissions Counselor. Academic recommendations may be required by the
Admissions Committee before an admissions decision is made.
On occasion, the Admissions Committee may also defer a decision on a
candidate's admission until other information has been received. For example, more
recent test scores, results of the present
semester's course work, additional letters
of recommendation or writing samples

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%).

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

and provides the means for discussions and
action on all issues pertaining to student life
at Augsburg.
Because our campus is comprised of
individuals from many different religious

is characterized by a similar diversity and
richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth
groups, outreach teams and community
outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and
justice forums, concerts and gatherings are
examples of the wide variety of activities
on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible
expression in chapel worship where
students, faculty and staff gather each day
to give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and
musicians. Each Wednesday night students
gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays,
Trinity Lutheran worship services are held
on campus, with many other churches
within walking distance.
We seek to develop a free and open
environment where people are encouraged
to use and discover the gfts and sense of
call and vocation that God has given them.

DISABILITIES (CLASS)
The Center for Learning and Adaptive
Student Services (CLASS) serves over 150
students and is recognized nationally as a
leader in the field of educating students
with diagnosed learning and physical
disabilities. The CLASS program is a logical

provide a high quality liberal arts education
for students with diverse backgrounds,
experiences and preparation. Augsburg has
a commitment to recruit, retain and
graduate students with learning and
physical disabilities who demonstrate the
willingness and ability to participate in
college-level learning.
The staff includes three licensed learning
disabilities specialists, a physical disabilities
specialist, and an accommodationspecialist,
who supervises work-study students and
coordinates accommodation services for
students. One-on-one meetings between
students and specialists are the centerpiece
of the program model. Accommodations
include individualized academic support,
advocacy with faculty and staff, special
testing arrangements, taped textbooks, peer
tutors, securing notetakers, access to and
training on computers, and adaptive technology, such as a Braille printer, dictation
and voice recognition software, and adaptive keyboard equipment. Modified and
accessible dormitory rooms are available.
During the 1980s Augsburg spent nearly
one million dollars to make the campus
accessible to persons with physical disabilities by constructing a skyway-tunnelelevator system that connects 10 major
buildings. Augsburg has the oldest and
most extensive learning disabilities program
among the private colleges in Minnesota.

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
Murphy Square, the first of 155parks in Minneapolis, the "City of Lakes."
The University of Minnesota West Bank campus and one of the city's largest
medical centers -Riverside Medical Center -are adjacent to the campus,
with the Mississippi River and the Seven Comers theater district just a few

arts, sports, entertahment and recreation opportunities, are minutes west
and east via Interstate 94, which forms the southern border of the campus,
or on bus routes that also conned with the suburbs. (See map in back)
Reaching the Twin Cities is easy. Most airlines provide daily service to
Minneapolis-St. Paul Internationalm r t and bus or train connections can
be made from all areas of the United States.
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the basis of race,
d,
national or ethnic origins, age, marital status, sex or handicap as
required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of
the Rehabilitation Ad of 1973, as amended, in its admissionspolicies,
educational programs, activities and employment practices. Inquiries

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 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.
The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the
student and family. Financial aid is intended to supplement student and
family resources.
The Family Financial Statement (FFS)of the American College Testing
Program (ACT) or the Financial Aid Form (FAF) of the College Scholarship
Service (CSS)helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student
is eligible. This analysis estimatesthe amount a student and family can be
expected to provide for college expenses, taking into account such family
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.

In t h i s course we will examine some of the evidence for the
often-expressed feeling t h a t music and mathematics a r e somehow
related. Actually there are three kinds of contact: (1) a t the
sub-musical l e v e l , where both elementary and sophisticated
AUGSBURG COLLEGE 1981 INTERIM121
mathematics have a lot to say about such foundational topics as
acoustics, scales, and tuning, as well as the premises of twelvetone composition; (2) at the level of composition, where mathematics
no longer applies directly (except for certain composers) but
where there are strong analogies between the ways composers and
mathematicians create and evaluate their work and between features
of certain highly structured pieces, such as canons, and mathematical
constructs; (3) at the level of aesthetic theory, where probabilistic
ideas help to clarifjt what constitutes style. The emphasis on
these topics will depend on class interests, provided only that
everyone does some significant mathematics. When possible, we will
try to hear those things we discuss mathematically, through recordings
or performance. Grades will be based on homework exercises, mostly
mathematical but including the composition of at least one canon. The
necessary the ma tics will be developed in class.

An exploration of math-related ideas and Space-Age research which
calls for a critical re-evaluation of present "scientific dogmas"
on the nature and origin of the universal cosmos and the smaller
cosmic models of earth, life, and mankind. New Space-Age data,
buried in the literature, will be unveiled to show inadequacies
and contradictions in some aspects of modern astro-cosmology and
its links to geology, biology, and the humanities.
Class instruction and individual research will include study of the
historical and modern impact of math-related cosmic models, and will
note some misuses of mathematics which transforn'unsupported
scientific speculation into "scientific fact." A written research
paper is required.
Upper division students will show broader research scope and writing

This course will explore both the problems and the potential of
communication between persons of different cultural groups. We will
examine several factors which contribute t o comunication barriers
between cultures such a s ethnocentrism, stereotyping, prejudice, role
expectations, values, and non-verbal symbols. The format of the
course will include simulations, group exercises, one-to-one and small
group interaction, and other intercultural experiences a s well as
readings, lectures, and written assignments. I t i s hoped t h a t there
will be students from several cultural groups in the c l a s s , so t h a t
the class i t s e l f will be a laboratory for practicing comunication
between cultures.

Introduction
Few liberal arts colleges combine the excitement and vitality of a metropolitan center
with the smallness and intimacy of the rural setting. Augsburg is one of the few, very special
Christian colleges which can offer you both.
The small college atmosphere enables you to
be a participant or a spectator at a variety of
events and activities. Exhibitions, concerts,
films, and lectures are regularly available to you
on campus. Through the intercollegiate or intramural athletic programs you may choose participation in athletics.
Religious activities are a vital part of the campus. The Religious Life Commission has been
established by the Student Government to
oversee, stimulate and perpetuate religious life
on the Augsburg campus. Its primary purpose
and goal is neither self-serving nor selfsustaining, but rather furthering the ministry of
Christ on the Augsburg campus.
You, the student, are an individual at Augsburg.
You design your own learning experience.
While distributional and major requirements act
as guidelines, there is latitude to design a
portion of your own education.
At Augsburg, the innovative and experimental
as well as the individual are central. The
college follows the calendar known as the "41-4."
In the study of the liberal arts, you will encounter ideas and experiences from the whole
range of human knowledge. The liberal arts
education, however, is more than an accumulation of knowledge from a number of
fields. Augsburg recognizes that concentration
is necessary in your chosen field. You may
choose from a variety of majors for hundreds of
career possibilities.
Augsburg Is in the center of the Twin Cities of
Mlnneapol~sand St. Paul. In thls rnetrapolitan
setting, a rich kaleidoscope of resources and
activities are available to enrich your education,
if you choose. You may select an evening at
the Guthrie Theater, the Brave New Workshop,
or at any of the many galleries or coffee
houses. You might spend an afternoon touring
the M~nneapolisInstitute of Arts. You may
choose a concert by the Minnesota Orchestra
or one by the many professional touring groups
that appear in the Twin Cities. There are
numerous opportunities for individual and team
sports. Professional sports are also available the Twins, the Vikings, the North Stars, the
Fighting Saints, and the Kicks.
Thus, we feel Augsburg is a distinctive
combination: a strong academic program, a
capable and dedicated staff, an eager student
body and a remarkable location.
The College
Identification
Augsburg is a four-year liberal arts college
affiliated with the American Lutheran Church
(ALC). Founded more than 1 0 0 years ago,
Augsburg celebrated its centennial in 1 9 6 9 and
is in its second century of Christian higher
education.
The current student body of over 1 7 0 0 is
largely of Lutheran background though many
denominations are represented on campus.
About 65% are resident students, while others
commute daily from the surrounding
metropolitan area.
Location
You and your education will have the option of
benefiting from Augsburg's location in the Twin
Cities. Excellent art collections are available to
you in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the
Walker Art Center, and many other galleries.
The Minnesota Orchestra and other area performing organizations afford rich opportunities
for the enjoyment of music of many types. The
Twin Cities also appear regularly on the
itineraries of major performing artists.
A variety of dramatic and musical presentations
is provided by several theaters in the area such
as the nationally known Guthrie Theater,
Theater-in-the Round, the Old Log Theater, the
St. Paul Opera, Chimera Theater and the
Chanhassen Dinner Theater.
Recreational activities abound. You can play
tennis at parks near the campus or swim In one
of the many area lakes. In the winter you may
join other students on skiing trips. Professional
sports are available the year around.
Reaching the Twin Cities is easy. Several major
airlines provide daily service to Minneapolis-St.
Paul International Airport, including United,
Northwest Orient, Eastern, Braniff, North
Central, Ozark and Allegheny. Bus or train
connections can be made from all areas of the
United States.
The Augsburg campus is just five minutes east
of downtown Minneapolis via Interstate 9 4
which forms the southern border of the
campus. (Directions are given in the map
section of this catalog.)
History
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by
Norwegian Lutherans in America. Minneapolis
replaced Marshall, Wisconsin, as Augsburg's
home in 1 8 7 2 . The first college students were
enrolled in 1 8 7 4 and the first college
graduation was held in 1 8 7 9 .
The school was officially named Augsburg
College in 1 9 6 3 when its former sponsor, the
Lutheran Free Church, merged with the
American Lutheran Church. Augsburg Seminary
joined with Luther Theological Seminary in St.
Paul that same year.
Nature and Objectives
Augsburg is a four-year liberal arts college of

The Physical Plant
Instructional facilities and student housing at
Augsburg are conveniently located in relation to
each other.
Following is a brief description of each building.
A new music/classroom building is designed
and scheduled for completion in 1978.
Old Maln, erected in 1900, contains a large
number of classrooms and offices.
Sclence Hall, erected in 1948-49, includes
general administration offices; the Computer
Center; well-equipped laboratories for
chemistry, physics, and biology; a mediumsized auditorium; and several classrooms and
faculty offices. The Lisa Odland Observatory
on the roof of Science Hall, was complefed in
the summer of 1960.
The George Sverdrup Library, named in honor
of Augsburg's fourth president, was erected
and dedicated in 1955. Adjacent to Science
Hall and of similar contemporary architectural
design, it provides excellent resources for
research and study. It contains reading rooms,
seminars, work rooms, a visual-education
center, the Augsburg Archives, classrooms,
and a number of faculty offices.
Melby Hall, the auditorium-gymnasium, was
completed in 1961. This building named in
honor of Professor J. S. Melby, dean of men
from 1920 to 1942, basketball coach and head
of the Christianity department, provides
excellent facilities for the health and physical
education program, intercollegiate athletics,
chapel services, and general auditorium
purposes.
East Hall, purchased in 1966, houses the pipe
organs and equipment for class-piano
instruction.
The Music Bullding, acquired by purchase in
1947, has been remodeled to provide vocal,
string and piano studios as well as a rehearsal
room for large groups.

quarters in this building. The bookstore is also
located here. Spacious lounges and
recreational areas are provided in this threestory building containing 55,000 square feet of
space.
Urness Tower, completed in 1967, is an
eleven-story building providing living quarters
for 324 students. The building was named in
honor of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Urness who
have given several generous gifts to the
college. A unique feature of the building is that
each floor is considered a "house unit"
providing the 36 residents, housed two to a
room, with their own lounge, study and utility
areas.

provides excellent housing for married students.
Annex Houses, located in the campus area
provide accommodations for students, faculty,
and staff members.
The Admissions House, located at 628 21 st
Avenue South, provides offices for the
admissions staff and a reception area for
prospective students and their parents.
The Speech and Drama Building was acquired
in 1959 and remodeled for dramatic and other
speech activities.
The Ice Arena, built in 1974, provides two
large skating areas for Augsburg and the
metropolitan community. It is used for hockey,
recreational skating, and figure skating.
The Augsburg College Center, completed in
1967, is a center of non-academic activity on
campus. The building houses the Commons,
which is the main dining area, plus private
Ollvet Hall, a gift to Augsburg from the
congregation of Olivet Lutheran Church, is used
as a practice room for the band and other
instrumentalists.
Academic Life
Augsburg is a modern well-equipped college
which aims to provide its students with a broad
liberal arts education as well as prepare them
for a career. A strong academic program in the
arts and sciences and in theology is available.
Pre-professional preparation for such fields as
engineering, medicine, law and the Christian
ministry is offered. The College prepares
students for graduate study in several
disciplines. Preparation for careers in business,
communications, medical technology, music,
nursing, occupational therapy, social work, and
teaching is available.
Augsburg seeks to assist its students through
their academic experience to better understand
themselves and the world and to equip them to
serve according to their individual interests and
abilities.
The Student As Learner
A great deal has been written during the last
few years describing the responsibilities of a
college to its students. Augsburg recognizes its
task to provide consistently high quality
opportunities for learning along with support
systems which enhance the teaching-learning
process.
Learning is not, however, a commodity which
can be purchased. It is not equal to simply
buying so many courses and being exposed to
the activities of professors. Learning involves
the solitary inner struggle of the student who
investigates, analyzes and synthesizes the
materials and insights offered. When these
have become one's own and when the learner
moves on to new personal insights, then
learning has taken place.
Both the school and the student have
responsibilities in this process. Neither party
can elude its basic task.
problems. They often join students in
discussing the political climate, comparing
notes on a visiting speaker, or talking over the
latest Viking victory while having coffee.
Library Services
Augsburg has a well-equipped library.
A relaxed atmosphere, a helpful staff and
friendly student library assistants make the
library a favorite place to study. The main
library, centrally located next to the Science
Hall, houses over 150,000 volumes including
books, periodicals, records and various other
media. The Music and Chemistry libraries are
located within the departmental areas.
Access to over a million volumes is available
via daily interloan and courier service among
the seven private liberal arts colleges and the
Hill Reference Library. Through Minitex, the
statewide network, the additional resources of
Minnesota and Wisconsin libraries are
accessible to the Augsburg faculty and
students.
A service-dedicated staff provides students with
assistance to meet diverse information needs
including instruction in the use of the library,
standard reference service, guidance in
pursuing term paper topics, and directions to
other local sources of information.
The AV Center of the Library provides facilities
for classes in broadcasting and audio-visual
materials. Assistance with the production of
slides, transparencies, filmstrips and
audiolvideo tape recordings are available for
both faculty and students. Equipment such as
movie and slide projectors and tape recorders
may be borrowed for limited periods; film
bibliographies and other advice on materials
selection are also available.
Faculty
The 4-1-4 Calendar
Augsburg has an able faculty who try to take a
personal interest in their students. The studentfaculty ratio is approximately 16.3 to 1, with
class size averaging 25 or less.
Augsburg follows the 4-1 -4 calendar. Two 15week semesters are separated by a 4-week
interim in January. During each semester the
student generally enrolls in four courses; during
the interim concentration is on one subject.
Augsburg faculty members serve as academic
advisers and are available for help on individual
The interim period is an especially exciting
time. The whole world becomes an arena of
learning. Creative energies and individual
interests determine the course of study.
Innovation and experimentation are encouraged
in this change from the general academic
schedule. Interest in music may take form in
the study and presentation of a concert
program. Interest in people may find form in the
study and participation in activities of a social
agency. Newspapers and advertising agencies
provide opportunities for those interested in
communications. Whether your interests are
sedate or spectacular the interim will afford the
opportunity to experience and experiment while
learning.
General Education Requirements
Distribution requirements for graduation are
minimal, affording the student considerable
freedom in the choice of courses. A student
seeking a liberal arts education would probably
choose many of them even if they were not
required.
,
In the humanities area, students may select
courses in literature, philosophy, art, music,
foreign languages, speech, drama, and religion.
Science courses may be chosen from biology,
chemistry, mathematics, or physics. Courses in
social and behavioral sciences are offered in
the departments of economics, history, political
science, psychology and sociology. Proficiency
in English writing must be demonstrated. One
course from an approved list of courses
containing an emphasis on urban concerns is
required as is also proficiency in two lifetime
sports. For details on general education
requirements see under Academic
Administration.

Inter-Institutional Programs
Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and
institutions in the Twin Cities area on several
programs.
LIBRARY AND MEDIA CENTER
Through C.L.I.C., the Twin Cities private
colleges library consortium, and Minitex, the
statewide library network, the Augsburg
community has access to over 5,000,000
volumes. Augsburg's library works with a
collection of educational materials including
approximately 150,000 books, periodicals,
records, tapes, scores and films.
ASSOCIATED COLLEGES OF TH6 TWIN
CITIES. Full-time students at Augsburg and the
St. Paul colleges of Hamline, Macalester, St.
Catherine and St. Thomas may elect a course
each semester at another campus. No
additional fee is required for such an exchange,
except for private instruction in music and
some independent studies. See under
"Independent Study" for further details.
Students may elect to participate in the
cooperative program to gain new perspectives,
to get better acquainted with the other schools,
or to undertake a specific course or major not
offered on the home campus. The colleges
have coordinated calendars. The interim term
may also be taken on another campus. A
regularly scheduled bus shuttles students free
between the campuses.
'
CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY PROGRAM. A
cooperative effort between Augsburg College
and Metropolitan Community College in
downtown Minneapolis has resulted in the
establishment of a four-year program in
social work, sociology or psychology with a
chemical dependency specialty. The program is
designed to train specialists to help professional
people in dealing with chemical dependency
problems. Courses are taken both on the
Augsburg and the Metropolitan campuses.
CONSERVATION OF HUMAN RESOURCES
(CHR). These co-learning classes bring together
Augsburg students, prison inmates, mental
hospital patients, guards, and students at
rehabilitation centers. Classes are held at such
places as the Shakopee Institution for Women,
Stillwater State Prison, Trevilla of Robbinsdale
(a center for the severely physically
handicapped), or on the Augsburg campus. The
classes offered through several departments
give students first-hand views of the prisons,
hospitals, and rehabilitation centers. The
response of students involved in the courses,
both from Augsburg and the institutions, has
been extremely favorable.
COMPUTER PROGRAMMING. Augsburg and
Control Data Institute have an arrangement
whereby students may transfer the equivalent
of three courses in computer programming
taken at CDI to Augsburg College.
Augsburg College also cooperates with other
colleges in planning study opportunities for the
January interim. For example, Augsburg and St.
Olaf jointly plan a number of foreign study
opportunities for the interim. Since the interim
program is new each year, the Interim Director
should be consulted regarding planned
programs.
AFFILIATION WITH SCHOOL OF NURSING.
Nursing students in the school of nursing at
Lutheran Deaconess Hospital receive
instruction in biology, chemistry, and other
basic courses at Augsburg. Applications for
admission to the school of nursing should be
made directly to the hospital.
THE HIGHER EDUCATION CONSORTIUM. This
group is composed of colleges and universities
in Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota. Planned
activities include innovative curricular programs
for students, interchange and sharing of
academic personnel and other college
resources, cooperative research projects,
foreign study, joint sponsorship of a metrourban affairs conference, and development of
programs consistent with the needs and
resources of the community organizations of
the Upper Midwest.
MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY. In cooperation with
Hennepin County General, Metropolitan Medical
Center, and Northwestern hospitals, Augsburg
offers work which enables qualified students to
receive a college degree with a major in
Medical Technology. The first three years of
this work are taken at Augsburg, and a final
twelve-month program is completed at one of
the three hospitals when the student is
accepted by the participating hospital for its
program. Augsburg College does not guarantee
acceptance by the hospitals.
ENGINEERING. Affiliation with Washington
University School of Engineering and Applied
Science in St. Louis, Missouri, and Michigan
Technological University in Houghton,
Michigan, enables a student to receive the
Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College
and an engineering baccalaureate degree from
Washington University or Michigan
Technological University, in a five-year
program. The first three years are spent at
Augsburg and the last two at the affiliated
university.
CORRECTIVE THERAPY. A program in

Several types of international experience are
available to Augsburg students. Some of them
are briefly described below. For application
procedures and further information, request the
special brochure on lnternational Study at
Augsburg from the Director of lnternational
Programs. Since there is a limit on the number
of students who may study abroad each year it
is wise to apply in the fall prior to the year one
wishes to participate in an international
program.
STUDENT PROJECT FOR AMITY AMONG
NATIONS (SPAN). Augsburg participates in the
SPAN program. This is a joint venture of the
University of Minnesota and several colleges in
the state. Each year three or four countries are
selected, and qualified students are granted
partial scholarships to enable them to spend a
summer in informal study in one of the
countries chosen. Applications to the program
are made in the spring of the freshman or
sophomore year. The SPAN program consists
of three stages: language study and group
meetings during the school year before
departure, independent study abroad on a topic
of one's choice during the following summer,
and the writing of a paper upon return.
SEMESTER OR YEAR ABROAD. Arrangements
have been made under which Augsburg
students may spend their sophomore or junior
year in study at a number of foreign
educational institutions. These institutions are

lnternational Living, Augsburg students are
offered study programs in Columbia, Denmark,
England, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece,
Guatemala, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Nepal,
Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, and Yugoslavia. This
type of study must be approved before
departure by the Director of lnternational
Programs, one's faculty adviser, and the
Committee on Admissions and Student
Standing. Credit earned through foreign study
may be applied to the student's graduation
requirements as electives, as elements of the
major sequence, or to satisfy some of the
general education requirements.
SUMMER SCHOOL. Again there is a wide
variety of possibilities for those who wish to
spend a summer studying abroad. Recently
Augsburg students have spent summers in
Norway, Spain, Mexico, France, Greece,
Germany, and England. Those interested in
further information should contact the Director
of International Programs.
INTERIM. Study abroad during the interim is
planned for each year. See listings under the
Augsburg Interim Catalog and in the brochure

to provide opportunities for qualified students to
pursue an enriched and sometimes accelerated
course of study. Special seminars, colloquia,
honors student forums and options in
completing the general education requirements
are all parts of the Honors Program. Inquiries
should be addressed to Dr. Milda Hedblom,
Honors Director.
lnternship Program
The lnternship Program is a college-wide
program. It provides students in almost all fields
of study an opportunity to gain practical on-thejob experience that can be related to their
academic program or personal interests.
Internships are available with a variety of
companies, agencies and community
organizations.
Continuing Education Program
Augsburg College offers a number of courses,
The transitional course, "The Adult Student:
Issues and Challenges," is offered several
times a year. It includes self-assessment,
testing, counseling, training and practice in

Student Life
Your experiences in the classroom are a major
aspect of your college life, but learning and
development also occur in formal and informal
activities and opportunities of the college and
metropolitan area. Whether you are a resident
or commuter student, you'll find that the climate
for learning and living at Augsburg can add
dimension to your education.
Religious Life
An important part of daily life at Augsburg is
religious activity. The Religious Life
Commission, chaired by students and
composed of students and faculty, sees its
major responsibility in relation to worship,
devotional life and the stimulation of faith.
Chapel services are held three times a week
and are both experimental and traditional in
character. The Wednesday evening Eucharist
service in the College Center is a valued
worship experience for many students. Students,
faculty and staff participate voluntarily. Special
events are sponsored throughout the year and
a number of groups having a religious
emphasis meet regularly. The Campus Pastor
has an office in the College Center where you
can contact him for counseling, consultation or
ways to get more involved.
Social and Cultural
Throughout the year, a variety of social and
cultural activities takes place on campus as
well as in the Twin Cities. These activities
include dances, special dinners, name
entertainment, and visiting personalities in
various fields.
The College Center is the focus of leisure-time
activity on campus. Offices for the College
newspaper, the Augsburg Echo, and the
yearbook, the Augsburgian, are on the lower
level. Many of the clubs that unite classroom or
non-classroom related interests meet in the
Center.
There are several opportunities for participation
in music and drama. In addition to performing
on campus and in the city, the Augsburg Choir,

department.
Recreation
Every student is urged to participate in some
activity for his or her own 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.

for times when there is open use of the
gymnasium and the ice arena.

Student Services
Augsburg College is concerned with educating
the whole person and recognizes that the
context in which learning takes place is a
critical factor in achieving optimal growth.
Knowledge grows from more than intellectual
endeavors. Expanding relationships, exploring
values, identifying life styles, developing
autonomy and interdependence, finding
purpose and commitment - all combine with
intellectual content and skills to produce the
desired educational impact of the college on its
students.
The Division of Student Affairs has been
created to support this task. During the summer
before your freshman year, or at the time of
transfer, you will receive a copy of
SEMAPHORE: Student Guide to a College
Education. This book will help you assess the
possibilities in your education, choices i o make,
directions to consider and different destinations
for which to plan. SEMAPHORE was designed
to act as a sort of road map for you.
The Center for Student Development provides a
variety of services to help make your journey
as rich and meaningful as possible. Some of
the opportunities you may wish to participate in
are listed below.
Summer Orientation. You can plan your first
academic year and register for classes. You
and your parents get acquainted with
classmates, faculty, and staff as well as with
the campus. You stay in the dormitory, attend
events in the metropolitan area and seek
answers to the many questions you have about
college life.
Career Planning and Placement. You may be
uncertain about where you want to be when
you finish your undergraduate experience,
whether your life style will be a balanced one,
how work will provide opportunity for service
and fulfillment. Augsburg has a four-year career
development plan to help you assess yourself,
explore possibilities, test realities and prepare
for entry into the next phase of your life. All
new students will have a chance to review their
interests with a counselor.
Human Development Seminars. A series of
informal "mini-courses" are offered each year to
help you grow in understanding of yourself and
your relationship to others. Such topics as
PEER (Positive Educational Experiences in
Relationships), Issues in Men's and Women's
Identity, Assertiveness, Job Seeking, and
Sexuality are available. Information on current
offerings and opportunity to register are
provided several times during the year.
Academic Enrichment. You may want to
improve your skills in such areas as reading,
studying, note-taking, and testing by attending
one or more of the workshops offered. You
also will have an opportunity to meet with a
counselor to diagnose your needs. If a
particular course proves difficult, you can
arrange for tutoring through the Center.
Counseling and Guidance. Situations occur for
all of us where we can handle challenges more
effectively by finding and discussing things with
someone who has more expertise. Counselors
are available to help you think through how you
can handle major or minor problems in a
constructive way. Consultation is provided on
questions of policy and procedure.
Minority Concerns. If you have some special
needs or simply want to expand your crosscultural awareness, you can contact a staff
member to help you find out which resources
and programs will help meet your needs.
Residence Life
Because Augsburg recognizes that a student's
ability to respond to the learning environment
depends, in part, upon his or her living
conditions, a variety of housing alternatives is
provided. The residence hall program is
designed to promote student growth through
relationships with other students and being an
active participant in group decision making.
Each residence unit has one or more Resident
Staff who are able to facilitate the process of
group living as well as discuss personal
concerns with individual students.
All new freshmen and some upperclass
students live in Urness Tower. This elevenstory high-rise houses 324. Each floor is
considered a house unit providing 36 students,
two to a room, with their own lounge, study
and utility area.
Mortensen Tower, the newest residence hall, is
an alternative to traditional residence-hall living.
It contains 104 one and two-bedroom
apartments to accommodate 31 2 upperclass
students.
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall houses about
60 upperclass men and women. Memorial's
special advantage is that it is large enough to
meet new people, but small enough to retain a
friendly, close atmosphere.
Another alternative option is Annex Housing
which provides a unique opportunity to try
group living. Groups of upperclass men or
women share living space, house
responsibilities, and cooking. Houses are
located in the campus area. One way to
maximize the living-learning aspects of your
housing situation is to avail yourself of the
opportunity to bid for a house as a Special
Interest House. Groups of students have
created exciting projects by writing and
implementing educational impact proposals on
such topics as Environmental Concerns, Men's
and Women's Awareness, International Living,
Simplified Life Styles, and Scandinavian
Studies.
the basis of academic interests, and students
are encouraged to establish close working
relationships with their adviser. Secondary
Education students have available a second
adviser; one in the major and one in the area of
education. Freshmen also have an upperclass
adviser.
Married student housing is available in annex
housing, Mortensen Tower and West Hall. All
freshmen and sophomores not living at home
are required to live In college-operated
houslng.
You may wish to contact this office for
information on types of assistance available and
for answers to questions about deadlines and
procedures. Work opportunities both on and off
campus are also recorded. If you have financial
problems, this is a good place to work them
out.
Mortensen Tower is carpeted, air conditioned,
and contains kitchen units. It is otherwise
unfurnished. In other residence halls or houses,
rooms are furnished except for bed linens,
towels, blankets, and bedspreads. Laundry
facilities are available in each residence.
Students engage a room at the beginning of the
fall term for the entire school year. New
students receive room assignments during the
summer before they enroll at Augsburg.
Upperclass students make housing
arrangements in the spring. All resident
students must sign housing contracts.
Freshmen and transfer students are urged to
make the tuition deposit by June 1 in order to
secure housing. Students who deposit after
June 1 will be provided housing only if space is
available.
All students living on campus are required to
pay a $50 advanced payment when they sign
the housing contract. The fee is credited to the
students' account when they move into the
residence.
Student Activities
A variety of interests are served by groups and
clubs and by events sponsored by the student
government. If you need information or wish to
initiate a new group or activity, contact the
Student Activities Director.

College Center is the main food-service facility.
This pleasant room features small table units for
easy conversation and overlooks the College
Quadrangle and Murphy Square. The portions
are generous and modestly priced. Students on
board plan who live in residence halls eat their
meals in the Commons.
The Chinwag, located on the ground floor of
the Center, features short orders and is open
through the noon hour and in the evenings.
Augsburg provides a variety of board plan
options for those living in College houses or
nearby apartments.
Student Government
Student government is the vehicle through
which students can secure a closer relationship
and better understanding with the
administration and faculty, and provide better
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
organized into three branches: the executive
branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial
branch. Student-government elections are held
in the spring except for freshmen who elect
their representatives in the fall of their first year,
Many kinds of involvement are possible from
program planning to writing or editing to service
opportunities. If you want to get involved,
contact the President or Vice President in their
offices in the College Center.
International Students
If you are a student from a foreign country or
would like to be part of the activities of this
group, contact the faculty member who is
appointed as adviser.
Student Rights
The College has adopted a statement of
student rights and responsibilities and has
provided for due process in matters of
disciplinary action and grade appeal. The
Judicial Council is elected by student and
faculty and serves to conduct hearings and
review matters of concern. Any student who
wishes to identify appropriate procedures for
complaint should contact the Vice President for
Student Affairs if the concern is related to
student life and the Vice President for
Academic Affairs if the concern is related to
academic matters.
The College operates in compliance with the
Family Rights and Privacy Act and Title IX.
Students have the right to inspect all official
records, files and data which pertain to them
and which are maintained in the office of the
registrar and the placement office and to
challenge inaccurate or misleading information.
Exceptions are parents' financial records and
confidential letters and statements placed in the
record before January 1 , 1975, or placed under
conditions where students have signed a
waiver of right of access. Students have the
right to experience education free from
discrimination based on sex, race, ethnic, or

Evaluation and Grading
Student achievement in courses is measured,
primarily, by means of final examinations.

with definitions as follows:
4.0 Achieves highest standards of
excellence.
3.5
3.0 Achieves above basic course standards.
2.5
2.0 Meets basic standards for the course.
1.5
1.0 Performance below basic course
standards.
.5
0. Unacceptable performance (no credit for
the course).
Most courses are also offered on a PassINo
Credit system, with P meaning a grade of 2.0

grade is recorded but not computed in the
grade point average.
the PIN grading system. Some education
courses are graded only on the PIN system;
some others are graded only P, 1.0, N.
Students may select the traditional grading
system in most other courses. Students are
cautioned to use the PIN grade option with care
since some graduate and professional schools
do not look favorably on a large number of Pgraded courses.
Students must indicate on their registration card
those courses which they wish to take on the
PIN grading system. Any changes in choice of
grading system must be made during the first
two weeks of the semester. A fee is charged
after the first five days of classes.
Music organizations and performance studies,
Chemistry Seminar and Lifetime Sports are
graded P1O.O.
An incomplete grade (I) may be given only in
the case of extreme emergency. To receive an
I grade, a student must file a petition with the
Committee on Admissions and Student
Standing stating the reasons for requesting it,
the plan and date for removing it, and
comments from the instructor of the course. If
permission to receive an I grade is granted, it
must be removed during the following
semester. If the incomplete is not removed
during the following semester, it becomes the
grade submitted by the teacher along with the
incomplete.
A grade of X may be given for an Independent
Study or Directed Study course that is to be
spread over more than one semester. Such a
course must be completed during the second
semester or the grade of X will remain on the
record.
A student may count a maximum of eight
courses of P toward graduation. For transfer
students the maximum is an average of two
courses per year. Two courses in the major
(except Elementary Education) and one in the
minor may be on PIN grading system if
approved by the department chairman.
A course in which a grade of 0, 1 .O, 1.5, N, I,
or X has been received may be repeated for
credit. All courses taken remain on the
academic record. Only the credits and grades
earned the second time are counted toward
graduation and in the grade point average.
Courses in which higher grades have been
earned may not be repeated for credit; they
may, however, be audited.

and several interim courses are graded only on
Students who wish to take courses without
credit or grade may do so by registering for
Audit (V). Such students should confer with the
professor within two weeks of the beginning of
the term to determine expectations, attendance
requirements, etc. If expectations have been
met, the course will be listed on the student's
transcript as having been audited. If
expectations have not been met, the course
will be listed with a grade of W (withdrawn).
Full-time students may audit a course without
charge. The charge for part-time students is
listed under Expenses.
A maximum of two courses in lndependent
Study and/or Directed Study may count toward
the 35 courses required for the degree.
In the Five College Cooperative Program,
students may cross-register for independent
studies only when the major field in which the
independent study is proposed is not available
on their home campus. Requests for exceptions
to this policy should be made directly to their
own academic dean. The student will be
charged for any special costs attached to
independent study by the host campus.
Graduation With Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined as
follows:
Summa cum laude
Magna cum laude
Cum laude
3.8 - 4.0 grade average
3.6 - 3.79 grade average
3.3 - 3.59 grade average

transfer students must have completed two
years (fourteen graded courses) of work at
Augsburg College.
lndependent Study
Veterans
Augsburg College is approved by the State
Approving Agency for Veterans Training.
Veterans should consult with the Office of the
Registrar regarding completion of the
enrollment certificate and the forwarding of
other information to the Veterans
Administration.
Students registered for three or more courses
are classified as full-time students. It is the
responsibility of each veteran to report any
change in registration andlor academic load to
the Office of the Registrar.
lndependent study programs are offered by
many departments in the College. These
programs are often available to conscientious
students who can demonstrate sufficient
background and preparation in a given field to
carry out work on an independent basis.
Students interested in registering for
independent study must first secure permission
from the faculty member who will direct the
study as well as from the department involved.
Veterans will be referred to the State Approving
Agency after any period of two consecutive
terms in which they did not earn a minimum of
three courses per term. An incomplete grade (I)
may b e given only in the case of extreme
emergency. See section on Grading.
A student who registers for independent study
should normally expect to complete it in one
semester but may extend it into the next term
by permission of the instructor. In such cases, a
grade of X is given at the end of the first term,
and the student will register again for the
course in order to receive the final grade.
A non-punitive grade which brings a veteran's
academic load for the term below three courses
will be reported to the Veterans Administration.
Veterans will need to meet the requirements of
the Veterans Administration regarding
repayment of educational assistance funds
received.

Introduction to Interim
Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. The
College follows a 4-1-4 calendar, with Fall and Spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week January Interim. Interim is 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.
Because one Interim course equals a full-time load, students should plan to
spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as they would for
a four-course load during Fall and Spring semesters. Students can register for
only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student
who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale. Students
generally have the option to register on a Pass/No credit basis. A few Interim
courses are graded only on the P/N system; this is indicated in the course
description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division standing. Such
Interim courses have two numbers listed and the student must select. Students
registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments
and a more rigorous grading standard.
To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35 courses of
which at least three must be Interim courses (or one Interim less than the number
of years of full-time enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a transfer student enrolled full
time for two years is required to complete one Interim for graduation).

About This Catalog
The catalog lists courses by departments. Departments are listed in alphabetical order. At the end of the book are listings of other courses not offered by
Augsburg but recognized by the College for Interim credit. Further descriptions
and information about these courses are available in the Interim Office, Memorial

Options
International Interim - Students are invited to be part of one of the 27
international Interims offered by the Upper Midwest Association for International Education (UMAIE). These course opportunities are listed near the end of
this catalog.
Independent or Directed Study - Studentsmay elect a progt-am of independent
study (upper division 499) or directed study (lower division 299) for Interim.
Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for
more than one independent study per Interim. Students choosing to pursue
independent or directed study must:
1. Meet departmental requirements.
2. Present to the registrar 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 no later than December 3. Appropriate
study proposal forms can be obtained in the Interim Office.
Interims at Other Schools - Augsburg students may enroll at any other 4-14 institution which offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these
Interims can be consulted in the Interim Office. The Interim Secretary will help
students in applying for registration at other schools.
Registration for Interims at the other Twin Cities colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Note that Interim Courses at
Macalester, Hamline and St. Thomas begin on January 7 .
Most courses taught during the Interim at other 4-14 schools are accepted

Courses
The Florida Keys: Marine Biology
of the Florida Keys and Writers of The Florida Keys
This interdisciplinay program will involve about two weeks of study i n southern
Florida. It will be based at the Newfound Harbor Marine Institute on Big Pine Key
during most of this period but there will also be a brief trip to the Everglades. Two
distinct course offerings are availablefor credit, taught by Ralph Sulerud and John
Mitchell. Descriptions for these courses can be found in the appropriate departmental
sections of this catalog (Biology and English.)
The interdisciplinay component will involve several days of field trips conducted by
the personnel of the institute. Unique communities such as coral reefs and mangrove
swamps will be studied. There will be plenty of opportunity for snorkeling, and scuba
diving is available for those who are certified. Students will also make several visits to
Key West, and will study some of the writings of Key West authors (see page 12). All
students will participate in these activities and i n certain classes i n addition to completing the specific requirements of the course for which credit will be given. It is intended
that relationships will become apparent between the biology of the Florida Keys and the
writing which has emerged from this interesting environment.
A fee of approximately $1,200 will be charged for transportation (including airfare),
lodging, most meals and the services (field trips, lab facilities, classes, etc.) of the
Newfound Harbor Marine Institute.
Marine Biology of The Florida Keys
BIO 140-41048; 340-41049
Instructor: Ralph Sulerud
The Florida Keys provide an excellent site for the study of marine organisms
and marine ecology. Most of approximately two weeks in Florida will be spent at
the Newfound Harbor Marine Institute located on Big Pine Key. The institute offers
laboratory facilities and field trips in addition to housing and a dining hall. Field
trips will pennit the study of diverse habitats such as those of coral reefs, shallow
bays, mangrove swamps, seagrass communities and tide pools. Organisms from
these communities and others will be investigated onsite and in the laboratory. A
marine biologist from the institute will be available to lead field trip and conduct
specialized classes. Upon termination of the program at the institute there will be a
short trip to the Everglades to experience yet another interesting environment.
Preparation for the excursion to the keys will be made during the week prior to
the trip. This will include an introduction to marine biology utilizing a variety ol
audiovisual materials. The final week will be devoted primarily to study and the
completion of course requirements.
The course will have an interdisciplinary component. Biology students will
interact with students from John Mitchell's Key West Writers course. Further
information concerning this component will be found listed under The Florida
Keys in the Interdisciplinary section of this catalog.
Evaluation will be based on overall participation in the program, a journal
based on daily experiences, and one or two exams. Upper division students will
also do a special research project which will be the basis of a paper.
Prerequisites: Permission of instructor. For upper division credit, Biology 111

Questions of ethnicity, class, language, gender, and sexuality pervade recent
drama in English. These issues are revitalizing both contemporary drama and
productions of classic texts. We will examine how dramatic works of the late '70s
and the '80s, written in English, have been shaped by and have addressed issues
ranging from racial tension and interaction to sexual preference. (We sometimes
survey cumnt drama on several such topics, like class, gender, and language in
1989, and sometimes concentrate solely on plays about one issue, like sexual orientation in 1990.) For comparativepurposes, we will also view a few films on related
topics and try to attend at least two productions in the Twin Cities. There will be
moderate fees for the local productions.
Students will keep a journal, write two in-class essays, and one short paper.

Art and Idea: The Baroque in Europe
INS 191-41011
Instructors: Julie Bolton, Merilee Klemp, Kristin Anderson
How do we see? How do we listen? How do we respond to theater? What is
the nature of art? How m ideas conveyed in art forms? What do the visual arts,
music, and theater have in common? How do they reflect the society in which they
were created? Is art timebound or timeless? All art forms are linked to a particular
time and place. We see that the visual arts, music and theater always reflect the
spiritual and intellectual climate of its time. Using examples of music, art and
theater created in Europe in the Baroque period, the course will explore how to
appreciate and understand the various art forms, e e e the relationships among
the arts, and consider the expression of enduring themes and ideas at different
points in time.
Students will participate in the course through various readings, including
reading plays, studying scores and listening to recordings, and reading primary
source material connected to the art pieces considered. Using the resources of the
College and the city, students will also attend a special performance of the Augsburg
Faculty Artist Series, visit art collections, including the Minneapolis Institute of Arts,
and attend music performances, including the Minnesota Orchestra or the St. Paul
Chamber Orchestra. Students will be expected to attend all required performances
and museum visits, write analyses of the art works or performances, and write a
paper integrating the different arts and time periods studied. There will also be
quizzes.

I N S 241-41053
Instructor: Vincent Peters
Life in the global community of today's world demands an understanding of
many issues from perspectives not easily achieved without intimate study from a
viewpoint far different than one's own. This course seeks to challenge many
common assumptions regarding the differences between "rich" and "poor,"
"East!' and 'West," while examining the process of social change in the context
of an emerging nation.
South India provides a rich experience of lives in transition, as reformation
sweeps through the culture on every level, bringing socio-economic develop
ment, political empowerment, and redefinition of social and gender roles.
Students immerse themselves in the culture of South India through dialogue,
homestays, and cultural events, and as a result will find their own world view
greatly challenged and enhanced.
We will spend time in Madras, the smaller city of Vellore and villages near
it, in Bangalore and finish with four days in New Delhi which will coincide with
the colorful celebration of Republic Day.
There will be some assigned readings. Evaluation will be based on participation in discussion and field activities, maintenance of a journal and two tests.

p u p , such as Galidan, Catalan, P r o v d , l

Sardinian,Rom,and others. This
coursewillbe concerned why theselanguagesare so similar and why they&.
Basidy, the similarities stem from the fad that theselanguagesall have the same
source, the poplar Latin speech (oftenmked to as Vulgar Latin) which was spokenby
ordinary people - traders and rmrchants, soldiersand sailors, ruraland &an settlers of all
kinds - within the Roman Empire at its greatest extent. They differin part because
differences in dialect traditionally tend to grow with the passage of time and, very
importantly, these languages have all experienced the influences of various other
languages - such as Arabic in the case of Spanish, Celtic and German for French,
Slavic for Romanian, etc.
'Ihe length of thecoursewill not permit going into great detail regall these
changes,but the mapr developmentswill be emmined mthlly, particularly in thetheof

Electronic Music Composition
MUS 23&41063/430-41015
Instructor: Robert Karlen
An opportunity for students to explore, experience, and create some of the
sounds found in 20th Century music. Through a "hands+nl' approach, participants
will be involved in:
1.Making multi-track recordings on half-track, quarter-track, and cassette decks
through an eight-track mixer.
2. Individually creating, modifymg and mixing sounds from traditional sound
sources as well as from analog and computercontrolled synthesizers.
The study and application of practical electronic technology used in the production of music today will be combined with aesthetic considerations necessary for the
creative aspects of the art.
Much of the work in this course will be done in small groups. Lower division
students will work with up to four channel-four track recording involving techniques of speed changing, splicing, reversing tape direction and filtering using
primarily traditional and non-traditionalsound sources. Upper division students
will also use electronicallysynthesized sound sources including computer controlled
keyboard, overdubbing and overlaying up to seven tracks.
Students must have the use of a portable cassette recorder, and provide themselves with a 7-inch reel of blank recording tape and a blank cassette tape.

What Do You Think Of That?
PHI 250-41019
Instructor: Kenneth C.Bailey
There are many puzzling issues in our lives and world which deserve some
clear and careful thought. What shall we think and say about such contemporary issues as "Freedom of the Will"; "Can Computers Think?"; and 'What are
the Grounds of Moral Responsibility?". In this course we will discuss these and
other concerns that confront our age, in an attempt to understand them more
clearly.
Discussions will be based upon readings from a wide selection of authors,
some traditional (such as John Locke, Rene Descartes, and William James); and
some very much in the forefront of contemporary discussion (such as Ayn Rand,
B.F. Skinner, Sidney Hook, and John Hospers). Their views are provocative, to
say the least, and they will challenge you to ask, again and again, 'Well, Now.
What Do You Think of That?".

Introduction to Weather
PHY 106-41020
Instructor: Noel Petit
A study of the science of meteorology which will provide a working knowledge of the principles of atmospheric science. Attention will be given to four
basic areas observing the weather changes and understanding the world's
climate. Related topics to be included are: hydrology (study of the earth's water
cycle), pollution, economic effects of the weather, and weathefs impact on world
events. This course is designed to be an elective or satisfy the MathematicsPhysics distribution requirement for the liberal arts student.
The course will have two weeks of class lecture and laboratory followed by a
two-week trip through the Southeast United States visiting major weather
facilities. The itinerary will include stops at Kansas City, Missouri; Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma; Vicksburg and Gulfport, Mississippi; Tampa, Miami, Cocoa
Beach, Daytona Beach and Gainesville, Florida. At each site there will be a tour
and explanatory program for the functions of that facility. Topics of the visits
will be severe storms, control of the water in the Mississippi River basin, automated weather observation at sea, television station weather facilities, hurricane
tracking, weather satellites, and agricultural weather.
During the trip the student will maintain a journal of weather and site visits.
Daily weather maps will be created using portable weather satellite reception
systems carried on the trip. This trip will not only allow visits of operational
weather facilities, but also will allow the student to experience the full range of
climates across the U.S. from north to south.
Daily quizzes and lectures will be given during the travel. Grades will be
based upon the journal, two hourly examinations and an individual project
completed during the trip. The cost will be approximately $700. Initial deposit
due by October 26.

years. However, it is also possible to use spread sheets to solve physics problems
without using "high-powered" mathematics. Spreadsheets allow the student
who is not an expert in mathematics to experience physics on a more intuitive
level. We will use Lotus 123 to solve problems in a wide variety of physics areas
including planetary and projectile motion. Some of the problems investigated
might be in areas other than physics. Grading will be based on spreadsheet
projects, homework, and a final exam.

Contents
Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg
College. The College follows a 41-4 calendar, 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.
Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students
should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and
preparing for class as they would for a four-courseload 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. The
number of required Interim courses is adjusted for transfer
students. Transfer students should refer to their transfer credit
evaluation form, or consult the registrar.
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the
basis of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital
status, sex or handicap as required by Title D( of the 1972
Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973,as amended, in its admissions policies, educa tional
programs, activities and employment practices.

The catalog lists courses by departments. Departments are
listed in alphabetical order. At the end of the book are listings
of other courses not offered by Augsburg but recognized by
the College for Interim credit. Additional descriptions and
information about these courses are available in the Interim
Office,
Memorial 230. Students may also register for one of the
lifetime sports listed at the end of the catalog.
International Interim -Students are invited to be part of one
of the 24 international interims offered by the Upper Midwest
Association for InternationalEducation(UMAlE).Thesecourse
opportunitiesare listed near the end of this catalog.
Internships: Deadline: Friday, December 11.January Interim
internships must be planned in advance. Students electing an
internship must meet departmentalrequirements and present
a signed internshiplearning agreement plan to the Internship
Office (Murphy Place, Rrn. 8) no later than the last day of Fall
classes (Friday, December 11).The Learning Agreement forms
are available in the same office. Internships during Interim
must involve full-time work placements for approximately
four weeks. Assistance for planning your internship is available in the Internship and Cooperative Education Office.
Independent or Directed Study -Students may elect a program of independent study (upper division 499) or directed
study (lower division 299) for Interim. Faculty members are
strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for more
than one independent study per Interim.Studentschoosing to
pursue independent or directed study must:
1. Meet departmental requirements.
2. Present to the registrar a copy of the proposed study plan
approved by the supervising faculty member and the
Introduction
I
direded/independent study registration form. These forms
must be submitted by November 30. Appropriate study proposal and registration forms can be obtained in the Interim
Office.
Interims at Other Schools -Augsburg students may enroll at
any other 4-1-4 institution which offers a reciprocal Interim
arrangement. Catalogs of these Interims can be consulted in
the Interim Office. The Interim Secretarywill help students in
applying for registration at other schools. Registration for
Interims at the other ACTC colleges will be at Augsburg
during the regular registration period. Most courses taught
during theInterim at other 4-1-4 schools are accepted for credit
by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as meeting
Augsburg's distribution requirements. This qualification particularly affects courses offered for the religion requirement.
Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-1-4 schools
for the January Interim without tuition charges provided the
student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition to
Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition
does not include special fees, housing or board costs. Other
students will be charged $825 for the Interim course. Students
interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write
to the Interim Director for application forms or use the forms
provided by the interim office at their own school. There is an
application processing feeof $10. Students are welcome to stay
on campus but are not required to do so. Requests for Interim
housing should be made to the Interim Office.

to record Monopoly transactions on double entry accounting
ledgers. Financial statements must be prepared to obtain
money from the banker, and a banking committee must r e
view these financial statements to approve all loans.

An analysisof ethical arguments which uphold the morality of
a market-based economy. The course has three components: a
review of critical thinking (with emphasis on ethical concepts),
an indepth review of two author's arguments, and a review of
market failures, their causes and their remedies.
Students will complete worksheets on critical thinking, prepare written analysis of each authors' arguments, take three
quizzes, prepare a final report, and take a final comprehensive
exam. Since class participation is necessary to demonstrate
verbal fluency with this subject, attendance is a factor in
grading. Students will not be judged on their individual beliefs
or ideologies. Students will be judged on how well they can
analyze, defend, and attack the arguments.

ENG 2 19-A
Instructor: John Schrnlt
Language plays an important role in our socialization and
acculturation. The way we speak tells others who we are and
tells us who others are. Our speech is a reflection of our social
and economical standing and our cultural background. For
this reason we should expect women to speakdifferently from
men. And yet somehow we do not. We should expect anyone
from a different background to have differences of language.
Even more importantly, we must understand these differences
in order to make sure that we understand speakers from
different language communities.
This course will examine the dialects of various Englishspeaking communities and attempt to describe and understand their rules of speech:their grammatical rules, phonological rules, and their rules of discourse. It will include lectures,
student presentations, and student-led discussions. Besides
presenting a topic, students will write a paper on the presentation topic and take a final exam.

Questions of ethnicity, class, language, gender, and sexuality
pervade recent drama in English. These issues are vitalizing
both contemporary drama and productions of classic texts. We
will examine how dramatic works of the late '70s, the '80s, and
the '90s, written in English, have been shaped by and have
addressed issues ranging from racial tension to sexual preference. (We sometimes survey current drama on several such
topics, like class, gender and language in 1989, and sometimes
concentrate solely on plays about one issue, like homosexuality in 1990 and 1991.)For comparative purposes, we will also
view a few films on related topics and try to attend at least two
productions in the Twin Cities.There will be moderate fees for
the local productions.

Students keep a journal, write two in-class essays, and one

be given to the vision and sensibility of each poet and to the
themes of their poems, especially those images and statements
that concern philosophical, historical, psychological and cultural values. Through comparison and contrast, students will
be expected to formulate reasonableinterpretationsof selected
poets and poems and to express their discoveries in class
discussion and short papers. A final examination will be given,
and two interpretivepapers about three to five pages in length
will be assigned. For upper division credit, the student must

What is the attraction of French literature, its human and
artistic significance for the reader? With these questions in
mind we will read and analyze 8-10 shorter French literary
works available to us in English translation.
What will we be reading? A bit of Rabelais and Montaigne, of
Descartes and Pascal. We will explore the classical theater, the
social critic Voltaire, and the 19th century novel. Twentieth
century authors like Gide, Codeau, Sartre, and St. Exupery
will reveal concerns of life that supersedenational boundaries.
We will sample one piece of francophoneliterature from West
Africa, reflecting the struggle between indigenous and Westem culture. At mid-point each student will choose another
short work for personal study and presentation for the class.
Evaluation of your work will be based upon your active
participation in class, your timely reading and discussion
preparations, four quizzes, your independent study project,
and an endaf-the course discussion of the papers.
This literature course is intended to help you in further reading, critical thinking, and communication about literature.

Thepoet Walt Whitmanoncecalledbaseball"Americalsgame."
In the century since Whitman uttered those words, baseball
has occupied a pmminent (and permanent) place in American
life in some ways equivalent to business, politics, religion and
race. In this course, then, we will examine the relationship
between the United States and its national pastime.
Our focus will not be on the game between the lines, the great
players and teams. Instead, we will take up several topics
which can illuminate the historical evolution of this country.
Some of these include: pmfessionalization and its impact on
amateur baseball, the mle of ethnicity and ethnic rivalry, the
color line, the emergence of the "big" leagues at the expense of
the "minor" leagues, women's baseball, labor relations and the
empowerment of the players, the impact of television, and the
ballpark as an urban place. Special attention will be paid to
baseball in the Twin Cities and students will be asked to do a
short research paper on some aspect of baseball history in this
region.
Grading will be based on the research paper, class participation and a final exam.

Women assume multiple roles within the work and family
domains in contemporary society; for example, the roles of
executive, wife, and mother. Each role has related expectations
for behavior, presents an opportunity for personal growth and
also exerts pressure. When the roles are considered jointly,
they may competefor time and energy and require conflicting
types of behavior.
The subject of this course is the interaction of the work and
family roles of women. To investigate this topic, students will
read several books related to women's roles in the work and
family domains. The assessment of this component of the
course is based on written responses to questions assigned for
small group discussion. A second component of the course is
a group project on the work and family roles of women. The
assessment of this project is based on the group's presentation
of their work to the class. Examples of past student projects
include an historical overview of the work and family roles of
women, an overview of the possible choices for the combination of the work and family roles over the life course, a
summary of issues related to the work-role, a summary of
issues related to the family-role, a survey of the work and
family issues most important to women in different age brackets, and an indepth case study of the lives of three women.

"How can I use my creativity when I sing?" "How can I stop
feeling tense and inhibited when I perform?" "How can I reach
my full potential as a singerlactor?" These are common questions voiced by performers.
To answer these questions it is necessary to acknowledgethat
performing is a holistic activity, involving mind, body, and
spirit. Because all people possess a creative spirit which can
directly empower their performing, this course focuses on
exploring each participant's unique ability for selfsxpression.
Through exercises, designed to acquaint them with their own
performing power, students learn and practice the basic pro-
cess of singing/ading, and apply it to the study and performance of scenes from opera and musical theatre.
Students will participate in the course through study and re

such a thing as ethics for sex? Is there such a thing as sexual
immorality? (b) Sex and marriage -Is the use of birth control

The former Soviet Union was, among other things, a huge
experiment showing the possibilities and failuresof a totalitarian government to change at will people's traditions, values,
and customs.
Numerous peoples living in the territory of the former Soviet
Union had differing beliefs and customs which influenced
women's lives. In the early stages after the revolution, the
Bolshevik authorities sought to destroy all the institutions
supporting the old regime, including the family and religion.
Accordingly, they encouraged women's independence and
denied their family obligations. In a later stage, the policy was
reversed and family values positively stressed. But, objective
situations contradicted the policy in both cases.
Students will be expected to read several books, plus some
