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

The Physical Plant
Instruction facilities and student housing
at Augsburg are conveniently located in
relation t o each other.
Remodelling and construction work to
eliminate architectural barriers is expected t o be completed during 1980. This will
include street level access from 21st
Avenue South t o a tunnel/ramp/skyway
system that connects the tower dormitories and the five buildings on theQuadrangle.
Remodelling of academic and administrative space will result in relocations of
some departments and offices by 1980-81.
Following are descriptions of buildings.
The Admissions House, located at 628-21st
Avenue South, provides offices for the
admissions staff and a reception area for
prospective students and their parents.
The George Sverdrup Library, named in
honor of Augsburg's fourth president,
was erected and dedicated in 1955. Adjacent t o 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.
Science Hall, erected in 1948-49, includes
general administration offices; the Computer Center; well-equipped laboratories
for chemistry, physics, and biology; a
medium-sized auditorium; and several
classrooms and faculty offices. The Lisa
Odland Observatory on the roof of
Science Hall was completed in the summer of 1960.
O l d Main, erected i n 1900, contains a
large number of classrooms and offices.
West Hall is an apartment building purchased in 1966 shortly after it was constructed. It provides excellent housing for
married students.
Mortensen Tower, erected i n 1973,
named in honor of Miss Gerda Mortensen, dean of women at Augsburg from
1923 to 1964, contains 104 one and twobedroom apartments providing housing
for 312 upperclass students. A spacious
lounge area as well as conference rooms
are located i n this building.
Urness Tower, completed in 1967, i s an
eleven-story building providing living
quarters for 324 students. The building
was named i n honor of Mr. and Mrs.
Andrew Urness who have given several
generous gifts to the college. A unique
feature of the building i s that each floor i s
considered a "house unit" providing the
36 residents, housed two to a room, with
their own lounge, study and utility areas.
The Augsburg College Center, completed
i n 1967, i s a center of non-academic
activity on campus. The building houses
the Commons, which i s the main dining
area, plus private dining rooms and a
coffee shop. Student government and
student publications have quarters in this
building. The bookstore i s also located
here. Spacious lounges and recreational
areas are provided in this three-story
building containing 55,000 square feet of
space.
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall, erected
in 1938, was named in honor of Augsburg's second and third presidents. The
building provides space for administrative
and faculty offices and houses about 40
students.
The Music Hall, erected i n 1978, i s the
newest building on the campus. It con-
tains classroom facilities, two rehearsal
halls, a music library, practice studios,
offices for the music faculty and a 217-seat
recital hall.
The Art Studio Building, dedicated i n
1964, houses the Department of Art on i t s
two floors.
Melby Hall, the auditorium-gymnasium,
was completed i n 1961. This building,
named in honor of Professor J.S. Melby,
dean of men from 1920 t o 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.
The Ice Arena, built i n 1974, provides two
large skating areas for Augsburg and the
metropolitan community. It is used for
hockey, recreational skating, and figure
skating.
The Speech and Drama Building was acq u i r e d i n 1959 and remodeled f o r
dramatic and other speech activities. A
theater wing addition t o Melby Hall, replacing the old music hall, is proposed for
completion late i n 1980.
Annex Houses, located i n the campus
area, provide accommodations for students, faculty, a n d staff members.
Academic Life
Augsburg i s a modern well-equipped
college which aims to provide i t s students
with a broad liberal arts education as well
as prepare them for a career. A strong
academic program in the arts and sciences
and in theology i s available. Pre-professional preparation for such fields as
engineering, medicine, law and t h e
Christian ministry is offered. The College
prepares students for graduate study in
several disciplines. Preparation f o r
careers in business, communications,
medical technology, music, nursing,
occupational therapy, social work, and
teaching i s available.
Augsburg seeks to assist i t s students
through their academic experience to
better understand themselves and the
world and to equip them to serve according t o their individual interests and
abilities.
The Student as Learner
A great deal has been written during the
last few years describing the responsibilities of a college to its students. Augsburg
recognizes its task to provide consistently
high quality opportunities for learning
along with support systems which enhance the teaching-learning process.
Learning i s not, however, a commodity
which can be purchased. It i s not equal t o
simply buying so many courses and being
exposed to the activities of professors.
Learning involves t h e solitary inner
struggle of the student who investigates,
analyzes and synthesizes the materials
and insights offered. When these have
become one's own and when the learner
moves on to new personal insights, then
learning has taken place.
Both the school and the student have
responsibilities in this process. Neither
party can elude its basic task.
Faculty
Augsburg has an able faculty who try to
take a personal interest in their students.
The student-faculty ratio i s approximately
15.5 to 1, with class size averaging 25 or
less.
Augsburg faculty members serve as
academic advisers and are available for
help on individual problems. They often
join students in discussing the political
climate, comparing notes on a visiting
speaker, or talking over the latest sports
victory while having coffee.
Library Services
Augsburg has a well-equipped library.
A relaxed atmosphere, a helpful staff and
friendly student library assistants make
the library a favorite place t o study. The
main library, centrally located next to the
Science Hall, houses over 160,000volumes
including books, periodicals, records and
various other media. The Music and
Chemistry libraries are located within the
departmental areas.
Access t o over a million volumes i s available via daily interloan and courier service
among the seven private liberal arts colleges and the Hill Reference Library.
Through Minitex, the statewide network,
the additional resources of Minnesota
and Wisconsin libraries are accessible to
the Augsburg faculty and students.
A s e r v i c e - d e d i c a t e d staff p r o v i d e s
students with assistance to meet diverse
information needs including instruction
i n the use of the library, standard reference service, guidance in pursuing term
paper topics, and directions to other local
sources of information.
The AV Center of the Library provides
facilities for classes in broadcasting and
audio-visual materials. Assistance with the
production of slides, transparencies, filmstrips and audiohide0 tape recordings
are available f o r b o t h faculty and
students. Equipment such as movie and
slide projectors and tape recorders may
be borrowed for limited periods; film
bibliographies and other advice o n
materials selection are also available.
The 4-1-4 Calendar
Augsburg follows the 4-1-4 calendar. Two
15-week semesters are separated by a 4week interim in January. During each
semester the student generally enrolls in
four courses; during the interim concentration is on one subject.
The interim period i s an especially exciting time. The whole world becomes an
arena of learning. Creative energies and
individual interests determine the course
of study. Innovation and experimentation
are encouraged i n this change from the
general academic schedule. Interest in
music may take form i n the study and
presentation of a concert program. Interest in people may find form in the study
and participation in activities of a social
agency. Newspapers and advertising
agencies provide opportunities for those
interested in communications. Whether
your interests are sedate or spectacular
the interim will afford the opportunity t o
experience and experiment while learning.
General Education
Requirements
Distribution requirements for graduation
are minimal, affording the student considerable f r e e d o m i n t h e choice o f
courses. A student seeking a liberal arts
education would probably choose many
of them even if they were not required.
In selecting courses t o meet the general
distribution requirements, students may
select an approved course in the areas of
mathematics or physics, chemistry or biology, psychology or sociology, economics o r p o l i t i c a l science, history o r
philosophy, and English or speech, communication and theater arts. The study of
a foreign language is required. Proficiency in English writing must be demonstrated. One course from an approved list
of courses containing an emphasis on
urban concerns i s required as is prof i c i e n c y i n t w o l i f e t i m e sports.
For details on general education requirements, see the Academic Administration
section.

Pre-Professional Training
Students who plan to enter the fields of
law, medicine, dentistry, the ministry, and
engineering, can profit from a liberal arts
education at Augsburg. It i s suggested
that requirements for admission t o graduate schools or seminaries be reviewed and
then the course of study at Augsburg be
planned accordingly. Augsburg offers a
wide scope of courses in the natural and
social sciences, i n the humanities, and in
religion and philosophy which will provide the necessary preparation for future
professional study.

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 t o worship, devotional life and the stimulation of
faith. Chapel services are held three times
a week and are both experimental and
traditional in character. The Wednesday
evening Eucharist service in the College
Center 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 College
Pastor has an office in the College Center
to be readily available for counseling,
consultation or ways to get more involved
in religious activity and groups.
Social and Cultural
Throughout the year, a variety of social
and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These
activities include dances, special dinners,
name entertainment, and visiting personalities in various fields.
The College Center is the focus of leisuretime activity on campus. Offices for the
College newspaper, the Augsburg Echo,
and the yearbook, the Augsburgian, are
on the lower level. Many of the clubs that
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, Concert Band, and
Orchestra tour. The String Ensemble, the
Chorale, the Jazz Ensemble and several
student-organized groups such as the
Cabaret Singers also perform on and off
campus. Several plays are given o n
campus each year under the direction of
the theater arts department.
Recreation
Every student is urged t o participate in
some activity for recreation and relaxation. An intramural program provides

Student Services
Augsburg College i s concerned with educating the whole person and recognizes
that the context in which learning takes
place i s 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 to make, directions to
consider and different destinations for
which t o plan. SEMAPHOREwas 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 i n are listed
below.
Summer Orientation. You can plan your
first academic year and register for classes.

active participant in group decisionmaking. Each residence unit has one or
more Resident Staff who are able to

PREPARING A BUDGET
Writing down realistic estimates of all
expenses and of all potential financial
resources i s the best way to do your
financial planning. Both your own financial ability and that of your family are
considered in evaluating your need for
financial aid. Your budget should include
amounts for tuition and fees and for
books and supplies. Tuition and fees for
1980-81 are $3660 per year. Books and
supplies may be estimated at $225 per
year. Room and board i s $1760 per year.
Other college-related expenses are those
for transportation to and from the campus. Estimates should be based on nine
months.
Personal maintenance costs vary, but
amounts should be budgeted for:
Clothing, cleaning
Recreation, entertainment
Personal spending, cosmetics,
incidentals
Medical (doctors, dentists, eyeglasses,
etc.)
After you have written down estimates of
your expenses, make a list of all possible
sources of income, such as: contributions
from parents' earnings; personal and
family savings; personal earnings during
vacation periods; earnings from part-time
jobs during academic year; benefits from
Social Security and/or Veteran's Administration; aids or loans from sources other
than family, friends or Augsburg (i.e.,
scholarships from state, church, civic and
school).
Students should check with their employers, their parents' employers and any
union t o which a family member belongs
for possible scholarship programs. High
school guidance counselors may have
information about student aid offered by
church, civic, professional, or fraternal
organizations i n a given locality. Following
you will find a summary of financial aid
programs.

t h e Committee o n Admissions and
Student Standing.
A student who has been o n probation for
two terms and withdraws from the Cod
lege voluntarily must havespecial permission to re-enroll.
Evaluation and Grading
Student achievement in courses i s measured primarily by means of final examinations. Shorter examinations or tests,
written papers, oral reports, and other
types of evaluation are also used.
Most courses are graded on a scale of 4.0
to 0 with definitions as follows:
4.0 Achieves highest standards o f
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 ( n o
credit for the course).
Most courses are also offered on a Pass/
N o Credit system, with P meaning a grade
of 2.0 or better and N meaning no credit
and a grade of less than 2.0. O n the P/N
grading system the grade is recorded but
not computed in the grade point average.
A student may count a maximum of eight
courses of P toward graduation. For transfer students the maximum is an averageof
two courses per year. Two courses in the
major (except Elementary Education) and
one in the minor may be on P/N grading
system if approved by the department
chairperson.
Sociology 383 and several interim courses
are graded only on the P/N grading system. Some education courses are graded
only on the P/N system or only o n the
traditional system. English 111 is graded P
or N, or 2.0-4.O/N. Some other courses are
graded only P, 1.0, N. Students may select
the traditional grading system i n most
other courses. Students are cautioned t o
use the P/N grade option with care since
some graduate and professional schools
do not look favorably on a large number
of P-graded courses.
Students must indicate on their registration form those courses which they wish
to take on the P/N grading system. Any
changes in choice of grading system must
be made according t o dates published
each term. A fee i s charged after the first
five days of classes.
Music organizations and performance
studies, Chemistry Seminar and Lifetime
Sports are graded P/O.O.
An incomplete grade (I) may be given
only in the caseof 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 i s t o be spread over more than one
semester. Such a course must be completed during the second semester or the
grade of X will remain on the record.
A course in which a grade of 0,1.0,1.5, N,
1, or X has been received may be repeated
for credit. All courses taken remain on the
academic record. Only the credits and
grades earned the second time arecounted toward graduation and i n the grade
point average. Courses in which higher
grades have been earned may not be
repeated for credit; they may, however,
be audited.
Students who wish t o fake courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Such students should
confer with the professor within t w o
weeks of the beginning of the term to
determine expectations, attendance requirement, etc. If expectations have been
met, the course will be listed on the
student's transcript as having been
audited. If expectations have not been
met, the course will be listed witti a grade
of W (withdrawn).
Full-time students may audit a course
without charge. The charge for part-time
students i s listed under Expenses.
Dean's List
The Dean's List i s composed of students
whose grade point average for a semester
is 3.5 or better based on a minimum of
three full courses (or equivalent) graded
on the traditional grading system, with no
incompletes i n courses offered for credit.
The Dean's List i s published in the Augsburg College Now, and students receive a
letter of commendation from the Dean of
the College.
Graduation with Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined
as follows:
Summacumlaude
Magnacumlaude
Cum laude
3.8 - 4.0 g r a d e
average
3.6 - 3.79 grade
average
3.3 - 3.59 grade
average
To qualify for graduation with distinction,
transfer students must have completed
two years (14traditionally graded courses)
of work at Augsburg.
Independent Study
An opportunity for independent study i s
offered through many departments. This
i s available to conscientious students who
demonstrate sufficient background and
preparation in a given field to carry out
work on an independent basis.
Most departments also offer an opportunity for directed study. As the term
suggests, this requires considerably more
faculty direction than for independent
study, and a student i s not expected t o
have as much background as for independent study. Directed study is offered
on a lower division level.
Students interested in registering for
either independent study or directed
study must first secure permission from
the faculty who will direct the study.
A student who registers for independent
study should normally expect to complete
it i n one semester but may extend it into
the next term by permission of the instructor. I n such cases, a grade of X i s
given at the end of the first term, and the
student will register again for the course
i n order t o receive the final grade.
A maximum of two courses in Independent Study and/or Directed Study may
count toward the 35 courses required for
the degree.
In the Five College Cooperative Program,
students may cross-register for independent studies only when the major field i n
which the independent study is proposed
is not available on their home campus.
Requests for exceptions t o this policy
should be made directly to their own
academic dean. The student will be
charged for any special costs attached t o
independent study by the host campus.
Veterans
Augsburg College is approved by the
State Approving Agency for Veterans
Training.
Veterans should consult with the Office of
the Registrar regarding completion of the
enrollment certificate and the forwarding
of other information t o the Veterans
Administration.
Students registered for three or more
courses are classified as full-time students.
It i s the responsibility of each veteran t o
report any change i n registration and/or
academic load to the Office of the
Registrar.
Veterans will be referred to the State
Approving Agency after any period of two
consecutive terms in which they did not
earn a minimum of three courses per
term. An incomplete grade (I) may be
given only i n t h e case of extreme
emergency. See section o n Grading.
Grade reports are issued t o students following each term.
A non-punitive grade which brings a
veteran'; academic load for the term
below three courses will be reported t o
the Veterans Administration. Veterans
will need to meet the requirements of the
Veterans Administration regarding repayment of educational assistance funds
received.

Ken Erickson: Adviser
Augsburg College i s cooperating with the
Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science (St. Louis,
Missouri) and Michigan Technological
University (Houghton, Michigan), i n a
Three-Two Plan of studies which will
enable a student to earn the Bachelor of
Arts degree from Augsburg College and
an engineering baccalaureate degree
from Washington University or Michigan
Technological University in a five-year
period. The first three years are spent at
Augsburg followed by two years at the
affiliated university. Students accepted
into the program are guaranteed admission t o the engineering school, provided
they have met course requirements, have
a B average, and are recommended by a
designated representative of Augsburg
College. Students receiving financial aid
who are participants in the Three-Two
Plan will be encouraged to apply to the
engineering school of their choice for
continuing support. Their applications
will be evaluated using need and academic performance as criteria. Minimum
course requirements for admission t o the
Three-Two Plan are: Math 124, 125, 224,
226; Physics 121,122; Chemistry 115, 116;
Computer Science 245; English 111; additional courses to meet general education
requirements and a total of 27 courses at
Augsburg. Normally Math 124, 125 and
Physics 121,122 are taken i n the freshman
year. Students are encouraged t o apply
for admission t o the program during their
sophomore year. Early consultation with
the adviser, Ken Erickson, i s encouraged.
English
Chairpersons: Catherine Nicholl, Richard
Sargent
MAJOR: 9 courses (above I l l ) , including
one course i n American literature, one
course i n the Western literary tradition
(271 or 272) and three courses in British
literature. Of the British literature courses,
one must concentrate on literature before 1660 (for example, 331 or 438) and
one must survey a number of writers (for
example, 336,337, or 423). All majors must
take 225, Advanced Expository Writing.
Majors are encouraged to take, early in
their college work, course 245, Introduction t o Literature. Majors are strongly
urged t o consult their departmental
adviser regularly. A student with a double
major or special program that involves
considerable work in the English department should also work closely with an
adviser in the English department:
MAJOR FOR SECONDARY TEACHING:
English: 10 courses, including those listed
for the major and a course in the English
language. Courses i n early American litera t u r e , Shakespeare, a n d f i l m a r e
recommended.
Speech: (1) a course in public speaking:
Beginning Speech, Small Group Communication, Interpersonal Communication, Argumentation, Persuasion (2) Interpretative Reading or Stage Direction.
Library Science: 475, The High School

Guidance.
In addition t o field experience and student teaching, as required by the Department of Education, English Education
majors will be required to gain practical
experience in the teaching of writing, t o
be arranged through the department
chairperson.
Students interested i n a teaching major
are encouraged t o take courses toward
their major during the freshman and
sophomore years, enroll in Orientation
to Education in the fall term of thesophomore year and apply for teacher education not later than the fall of their junior
year. In addition to planningtheir courses
of study with the department chairperson,
students should consult an advisor in the
Department of Education.
H O N O R S MAJOR: GPA of 3.5 in the
major and 3.0 overall; submit program t o
department chairperson early i n senior
year; defend honors thesis before faculty
committee in senior year. Honors thesis

M I N O R : 5 courses (above I l l ) , including
one course in British literature, and one
writing course. Teaching minors must
include both 225 and a course in the
English language.
The English Department recommends
but does not require that English majors
consider developing an area of emphasis
broader than the major as listed above.
The most likely areas would be a British
concentration, an American concentration, a world literature concentration, and
a writing concentration. A student arranges a concentration by careful selec-
tion of electives in the major, by the
design of an independent study course
that applies t o the concentration, and by
the selection of some related courses
outside the English department.

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

Application of ethical principles to
problems which arise in the areas of
health care and delivery, human experimentation, human engineering, abortion,
care for the dying and euthanasia.

scale or the Pass/No Credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N
means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Students are cautioned to use the P/N

About Augsburg
At Augsburg College, we believe that graduate education should prepare gifted people for positions of leadership in
their communities and places of work. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major
field of study, but also the ability to apply critical thinking, problem solving, and advanced communication skills in a
collaborative approach within that discipline, thereby engaging others with diverse perspectives in the work of
advancing civic and global initiatives critical for a sustainable future.
The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg mission, informed by the liberal and professional arts and sciences,
to serve our neighbors in the heart of the city and out into the world with faith-based, ethical values. We welcome
students from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Also, our programs look to the world through international
courses and cultural exchanges.
Mission Statement
Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to
the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission:
Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible
leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its
life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the
faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by its urban and global settings.
Augsburg Today
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith
presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin,
and moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1872. A Rochester, Minnesota campus was added in 2002. A short history of
Augsburg College can be found at www.augsburg.edu/about/history.
Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of its founders who believed:
•
•
•
Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically
and broadly about the world and the work we do in it.
An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and centers of faith.
The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment.
The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.”
Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg
prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society.

A Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s graduate programs is participation in a community of adult learners. This community
is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of
community interaction, Augsburg encourages students to make use of all College facilities, whether a student in
Minneapolis or Rochester, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and
lecture/speaker events.
Graduate Faculty
The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and
commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching and
service to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of
research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic
faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories.
Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as
academic advisors and participate regularly in campus activities.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, provides certain rights to students
regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg College is required to give notice of the various rights accorded to
students pursuant to FERPA. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following:
Right to inspect and review education records
You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg
College. The student must request to review their education records in writing with their signature. The College will
respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request.
Right to request amendment of education records
You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate,
misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that
the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records according to your request.
Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information
You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information
contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize
disclosure without your permission. One such exception which permits disclosure without consent is for disclosure to

and health staff); person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection
agent); a person serving on the board of regents, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or
grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate
educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional
responsibility.
Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information”
FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may
be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without notification of the request or disclosure to the
student.
Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider
very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform
Augsburg College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or
organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused.

Graduate Admissions
All graduate programs require students to have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited four-year institution or
an equivalent degree from outside the US.
All graduate students must submit completed applications. Each graduate program also has additional program
requirements, which may include coursework, professional experience, testing, etc. See the program sections for these
additional requirements.
Please refer to each individual program’s catalog section (below) for additional instructions and for detailed information
on applying to graduate programs, refer to the Graduate Admissions website at www.augsburg.edu/grad.
Readmission
Graduate students who have not registered for courses at Augsburg College for two or more semesters, must apply for
readmission through the Registrar’s Office to resume attendance. Students who have attended other institutions during
their absence from Augsburg must have an official transcript sent from each institution to the Registrar’s Office.
Returning students do not pay the application fee.
The last day to receive approval for readmission to the College and register for classes is the Friday prior to the start of
the term. Pending approval by the graduate program, students who left on probation or who were dismissed from the
College must have their readmission application and file reviewed by the program director. (Please consult with
individual programs for information regarding readmission process).
Special Student Admission
Students who are non-degree-seeking, but wish to enroll for academic credit in courses within a graduate degree
program, may be considered for admission as special students (non-degree). Special students (non-degree) can enroll on
a space-available basis. Registration dates are included in the College’s Academic Calendar. Admission requires program
director approval, and the student must be in good standing at all previously attended institutions.
To be considered for admission as a special student (non-degree), the items listed below must be submitted to the
Admissions Office. Some programs may have additional requirements.
•
•
Completed special-status application for admission
An official transcript of undergraduate and/or last degree earned. A bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited
institution is the minimum requirement for admission. Students who have earned a degree outside the US must
have their transcript evaluated to confirm it is equivalent to a US bachelor’s degree or greater.
If a non-degree seeking student is pursuing regular admission status into the program; he or she should submit an
application requesting regular admission to that program and submit the additional materials needed for regular
admission to that program. Special student status is conferred for only one term of enrollment. Additional terms require
reapplication as a special student (non-degree). Students may count up to 6-8 semester credits earned as a special
student (non-degree) toward an Augsburg College degree with approval of the program director.
International Students Admission
Augsburg College graduate programs encourage qualified applicants from other countries to apply.
An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a “full course of study” to achieve a specific educational or
professional objective at an academic institution in the United States that has been designated by the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of study to such students, and has been enrolled in SEVIS (Student and
Exchange Visitor Information System).
A student acquires F-1 status using form I-20, issued by a DHS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in one
of two ways:
•
•
If the student is abroad, by entering the United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a US consulate.
If the student is already in the United States and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the I-20 to USCIS (United
States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an application for change of nonimmigrant status.
13
A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer from another DHS-approved school to Augsburg by following
the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations.
In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students
must also comply with the following:

eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent
family members, other educational expenses, retirement needs, and special considerations.
16
Types of Aid
A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a specific scholarship or grant
(except as noted).

scholarships, along with eligibility requirements, can be found online at
http://www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts/

cost of attendance (minus all other student financial aid).
Further information about loan programs can be found online at http://www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
Federal regulations require that all higher education institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether
students [1] receiving financial aid [2] are making satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of a degree.
The purpose of this policy is to make sure that students who receive financial aid are using this money wisely. It is meant
to curtail the use of financial aid by students who fail to successfully complete their course work. Failure to meet the
following standards makes a student ineligible for all institutional, federal, and state financial aid.
Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress
1) Minimum GPA requirements
Undergraduate Students
Students must maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA based on the entire academic record.
Graduate Students
Students must maintain a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA based on the entire academic record.
2) Minimum Credits Completed
Undergraduate Students
Students must earn a cumulative 67% of the credits attempted based on the entire academic record. A completed credit
has a grade of 4.0 – 0.5 or P. Credits earned and completed will include accepted cumulative transfer credits as defined
by the Registrar’s Office. Unsatisfactory grades “W (Withdrawn),” “I (Incomplete),” “F (Zero),” and “N (Not Passing)” are
counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. Repeat Courses and remedial courses are not counted towards the
cumulative attempted credits.
Graduate Students
Students must earn a cumulative 67% of the credits attempted based on the entire academic record. A completed credit
has a grade of 4.0 – 2.5 or P. Credits earned and completed will include accepted cumulative transfer credits as defined
by the Registrar’s Office. Unsatisfactory grades “W (withdrawn),” “I (Incomplete),” “F (Zero),” and “N (Not Passing)” are
counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. Repeat Courses and remedial courses are not counted towards the
cumulative attempted credits.
17
3) Maximum Time Frame
Undergraduate Students
To demonstrate academic progress, undergraduate students must complete their degree objective within 150% of the
length of the program. In the CORE Curriculum, a student needs a minimum of 32 credits to graduate with a bachelor’s
degree. For those under the CORE Curriculum, they may not exceed attempting 49 credits. For students under the
Perspectives and Skills Curriculum, a student cannot exceed attempting 52 credits.
A student who reaches the 150% maximum time frame to complete their degree due to a change in major will need to
notify the Student Financial Services Office in order to continue to receive financial aid.
Graduate Students
To demonstrate academic progress, graduate students must complete their degree objective within 150% of the length
of the program.
Requirements to Meet Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards
1) Cumulative GPA
Undergraduate Students
Students who are not meeting the GPA SAP standard will need to follow the Academic Probation standards set forth by
Augsburg College Registrar’s Office. The student must maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA or higher.
Graduate Students
Students who are not meeting the GPA SAP standard must maintain a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA or higher.
2) Minimum Credits Attempted
Undergraduate and Graduate students earning less than 67% credits attempted must be enrolled at least half-time,
must earn all attempted credits, cannot withdraw from any of the courses, and must achieve a minimum grade of 2.0 or
better in each course.
3) Maximum Time Frame
Undergraduate and Graduate students must complete and attain their degree within the 150% of the length of the
program.
Monitoring and Evaluating Progress
In order to ensure SAP standards are being met, the office of Student Financial Services will evaluate and monitor the
students’ academic achievement at the end of each term. After the student’s record is evaluated and the Student
Financial Services Office determined the student to be unsatisfactory, the student will be placed on Financial Aid
Warning or Financial Aid Probation. Students will be notified through their Augsburg email if they fail to meet SAP
standards.
Financial Aid Warning
A student who fails to meet SAP standards will be placed on Financial Aid Warning for the following term of enrollment.
Students placed on Financial Aid Warning will still be eligible to receive financial aid. A student on Financial Aid Warning
must work with the designated Financial Aid Counselor to submit an academic plan. Financial Aid Warning will conclude
when the student meets SAP standards, or guidelines set forth in the academic plan. Students currently on Financial Aid
Warning who do not meet the standards at the end of the term will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. Students can
continue to be placed on Financial Aid Warning for periods longer than one term on a case by case basis and/or as
determined by the Student Financial Services Office.
Financial Aid Probation
A student who fails to meet either the minimum GPA requirement or minimum credits attempted while on Financial Aid
Warning will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. A student on Financial Aid Probation is ineligible to receive any form
of financial aid. A student on Financial Aid Probation may submit an appeal to reinstate their financial aid, and if the
18
appeal is approved, the student must work with the designated Financial Aid Counselor to submit an academic plan.
Financial Aid Probation will conclude when the student meets SAP standards, or guidelines set forth in the academic
plan. Students can continue to be placed on Financial Aid Probation for periods longer than one term on a case by case
basis and/or determined by the Student Financial Services Office.
Financial Aid will be suspended when a student placed on Financial Aid Probation does not meet SAP standards. Because
grades may not be available before the beginning of the next scheduled term, it is possible that financial aid may be
disbursed to a student before the review can be conducted. In the event that a student is found to be ineligible for the
financial aid that has been disbursed due to a failure to meet one of the Standards, the aid that was disbursed will be
canceled, and returned to the appropriate program(s).
Right to Appeal
Students who have had their financial aid suspended may submit the SAP Appeal Form to the Student Financial Services
Office. The appeal must be submitted within 7 days of notification of unsatisfactory status or by the due date given on
the appeal letter. The SAP Appeal Form must be completely filled out, along with any additional documents required by
the Committee. The appeal should state reasons why the student failed to meet SAP standards, and what changed for
the student that will allow the student to demonstrate progress towards meeting SAP standards. The appeal will be
decided by the SAP Committee. All decisions made by the Committee are final.
[1] Include all degree seeking students in both the Undergraduate Day and Augsburg for Adults, and all Graduate
programs.
[2] Financial Aid is defined as: Augsburg Institutional Aid, Federal Title IV funding, and Minnesota State Financial Aid
programs.
Financial Policies
Registration is permitted only if the student’s account for a previous term is paid in full or if the student is making
scheduled payments in accordance with an approved payment plan.
Augsburg College will not release student academic transcripts or graduation diplomas/certificates until all student
account charges are paid in full or, in the case of student loan funds administered by the College (Federal Perkins
Student Loan), are current according to established repayment schedules and the loan entrance and exit interviews have
been completed.
Tuition Refund Policy
Students are eligible for a 100% tuition refund for any courses they drop without notation through the date labeled “Last
day to drop without a ‘W’ grade & 100% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. After this date,
students are no longer eligible for any refund of tuition unless they withdraw from all of their courses. This policy is
effective whether or not a student has attended classes.
Students withdrawing from all of a term’s courses may receive a 50% tuition refund when they withdraw by the date
labeled “Last day to withdraw with 50% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar.
Students are responsible for cancelling courses through the Registrar’s Office (or online) in order to be eligible for any
refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for
all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations
are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed.
Medical Refund
If a student is forced to withdraw from one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, a request for a
medical refund should be made through the Financial Petition Committee. Petition forms are available through the
Registrar’s Office website. An extra medical refund may be granted by the committee upon submission of
documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances.
19
Unofficial Withdrawal
Federal regulations require that records of financial aid recipients who earn failing grades in all their classes be
reviewed. If courses are not completed (e.g., unofficial withdrawal, stopped attending), the College is required to refund
financial aid to the appropriate sources according to federal or Augsburg refund policies based on the last recorded date
of attendance. Students are responsible for the entire cost of the term including the portion previously covered by
financial aid should they stop attending. Students are strongly urged to follow guidelines for complete withdrawal from
college. If there are extenuating circumstances, a petition to have the cost of tuition refunded can be made. Petition
forms are available online through the Registrar’s Office website.
A student who registers, does not attend any classes, and does not withdraw may petition to withdraw retroactively.
The student must petition within six months of the end of term and provide proof of non-attendance. Proof can include,
but is not limited to, statements from each instructor that the student never attended, or documentation of attendance
for the term at another college or university. If approved, grades of W will be recorded and tuition charges for the term
will be replaced with an administrative cancellation fee of $300.
Financial Aid Policy
Financial aid such as federal, state, and institutional grants and scholarships are awarded based upon the total number
of registered credits on the “Last day to add with faculty signature – Full Semester class” as noted on the Academic
Calendar. Students must register for internships, Time 2 classes, and ACTC classes before the “Last day to add with
faculty signature-Full Semester class”. Financial aid will not be adjusted for classes added after this date.
Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester by actively attending and participating in classes
throughout the semester. Financial aid is recalculated when students do any of the following: drop classes without a “w”
grade, fail to begin classes, cease to attend classes, fail all classes, or fully withdraw from all classes.
Financial Aid-Return of Aid Policy
Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester. A student can earn their aid by attending classes,
or in the event of hybrid/online courses, be an active participant in the course.
Federal/State Aid Adjustments
Augsburg is required to return unearned federal/state aid for students who fully withdraw from their courses. Student
are eligible to keep more aid the longer they attend their courses. After 60% of the term has passed, students are
eligible to keep all of their federal/state aid. See the dates below. If you are planning to completely withdraw from your
courses, please see a Student Financial Services counselor to determine what aid may need to be returned.
Institutional Aid Adjustments
Augsburg will return institutional aid for students who partially withdrawal or fully withdraw from courses if the student
received. If students withdraw from their courses they will receive a 50% tuition refund and 50% of their institutional aid
will be removed. If a student withdraws after the last day to receive a tuition refund, there will be no adjustment to their
institutional aid.
Credit Refund Policy
Augsburg students may be eligible to receive a credit refund if their financial aid exceeds tuition and fee charges for a
term. Credit Refunds are issued within two weeks after the last day to drop courses without recorded notation. Financial
Aid needs to be finalized (You can verify your financial aid status online through Track Your Financial Aid and applied to a
student’s account (Check your Transaction History online to verify all of your financial aid has been applied to your
account and nothing is left pending) before the Credit Refund can be issued.
Changes in enrollment status, housing status, and program status may affect financial aid eligibility and credit refunds.
Students who are enrolled less than half-time (less than 6.0 credits for undergraduates, less than 3.0 credit for
graduates) may not be eligible for financial aid; however, students may apply for private alternative loans. Registration
changes made from the first week of the term through midterm may require a return of financial aid funds. Students
who drop courses may receive a tuition refund, but some forms of financial aid may have to be adjusted before a refund
will be available. Financial aid return of funds may take up to 30-45 days to be processed.
20
Bookstore Policy
Students who are registered for the upcoming term will be allowed to charge up to $600 to their student account.
Students DO NOT need to request a bookstore account this year.
Please plan ahead and purchase books and supplies before the scheduled cut off dates; be planful for courses that start
midterm as you will be unable to charge anything to your student account after the cut-off date.
Student’s accounts will be billed for only what was spent on their bookstore account before credit refunds are issued. If
your bookstore charges creates a balance on your account you need to make payments in accordance with your
statement. Bookstore purchases charged to a student’s account are intended for students who have excess financial aid
funds to cover their tuition, fees, AND their books or supplies. Please contact Student Financial Services before you
purchase books if you need to discuss payment options.
Due to the financial aid cycle, you can only charge expenses to your bookstore account during specific times.
Third Party:
If you are expecting a third party to cover the cost of your books, you will need to turn in an itemized receipt of your
purchases to the Student Financial Service’s office along with your invoice request.
Additional Funds:
If the cost of your textbooks and supplies are above $600 in one term, you have enough financial aid to cover the
additional costs, and you would like to charge the additional amount to your student account please send the following
information to Student Financial Services (studentfinances@augsburg.edu). All requests need to be in writing.
Subject: Request for additional funds
Full Name:
Student ID number:
Additional request:
Students will receive an e-mail when the additional request has been processed. Accounts are opened as quickly as
possible, but it could take up to two business days for activation.
Consumer Information
LOSS OF FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY DUE TO A DRUG OFFENSE
A student, who is convicted of a state or federal offense involving the possession or sale of an illegal drug that occurred
while the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid, is not eligible for Title IV funds. [An illegal drug is a
controlled substance as defined by the Controlled Substance Act and does not include alcohol and tobacco.
A borrower’s eligibility is based on the student’s self-certification on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA). Convictions that are reversed, set aside or removed from the student’s record, or a determination arising from
a juvenile court proceeding do not affect eligibility and do not need to be reported by the student.
A student who is convicted of a drug-related offense that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and
receiving Title IV aid loses Title IV eligibility as follows:
For the possession of illegal drugs:
First offense: one year from the date of conviction.
Second offense: two years from the date of the second conviction.
Third offense: indefinitely from the date of the third conviction.
For the sale of illegal drugs:
First offense: two years from the date of conviction.
Second offense: indefinitely from the date of the second conviction.
21
A school must provide a student who loses Title IV eligibility due to a drug-related conviction with a timely, separate,
clear, and conspicuous written notice. The notice must advise the student of his or her loss of Title IV eligibility and the
ways in which the student may regain that eligibility.
Regaining Eligibility after a Drug Conviction
A student may regain eligibility at any time by completing an approved drug rehabilitation program and by informing the
school that he or she has done so. A student regains Title IV eligibility on the date he or she successfully completes the
program. A drug rehabilitation program is considered approved for these purposes if it includes at least two
unannounced drug tests and meets one of the following criteria:
•
•
•
•
The program received or is qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly under a federal, state, or local government
program.
The program is administered or recognized by a federal, state, or local government agency or court.
The program received or is qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a federally or state licensed
insurance company.
The program administered or recognized by a federally or state-licensed hospital, health clinic, or medical doctor.
Policies may change throughout an academic year if necessary to comply with federal, state, or institutional changes or
regulations.

Student Resources/Academic and Support Services
Library and Information Technology Services
The James G. Lindell Family Library opened in 1997. The four-level, 73,000-square-foot facility houses the library and
information technology functions of the College as well as the Gage Center for Student Success. In addition to its large
collection of print volumes, e-books, and e-journals, Lindell Library includes special collections and archives, a curriculum
library, a computer lab and student computing help desk, a library instruction classroom, and facilities for media viewing
and listening. Skyways link the library to Oren Gateway Center and Sverdrup Hall.
Learning Commons
Within Lindell Library, a Learning Commons provides assistance in research and the use of technology as well as spaces
for collaborative learning. In the Learning Commons multimedia lab, students can create digital audio and visual
projects.
Library Resources
Students can search a wide variety of local, regional, national, and international databases. They have access to 27,000
e-journals, 18,000 e-books, and 190,000 print volumes within Lindell Library and, through a daily courier service, access
to the library holdings of six other private liberal arts colleges in the Twin Cities. In addition, Lindell Library has a large
collection of media resources. A service-oriented staff provides students and faculty with research assistance and
instruction in the use of information resources. Arrangements are made for access by students with physical limitation
and special needs.
Information Technology Resources
Augsburg College has built a reputation as a leader in its commitment to provide students with relevant and timely
access to information technology and training. Visit the Student Technology website, inside.augsburg.edu/techdesk, for
more on Information Technology at Augsburg.
Computing
Students have access to more than 250 on-campus computers. Both PC and Macintosh desktop computers are available
in the Lindell Library Learning Commons and computer lab, and in the 24-hour Urness computer lab. The College has five
computer classrooms, 41 technology-enhanced classrooms and one video conferencing-enabled classroom. The
circulation desk in Lindell Library has 40 wireless laptops available for use in the library.
Several computer clusters are available for more specific student use within academic departments. A high-speed fiber
optic campus network provides access to AugNet online services, printing, and to the internet. Network-ready student
machines can connect to the campus network from residence hall rooms or any building on campus using WiFi. All of the
AugNet online services are available securely on- and off-campus.
Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS)
The Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and academic
support for students with documented learning, attention, psychiatric, and other cognitive disabilities, and for students
with physical disabilities which may include TBI, chronic illness, mobility impairments, and vision, hearing or speech
impairments, and temporary disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain
access to the college curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and
challenging, yet supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds, preparations, and experiences.
Each term, Disability Specialists work directly with students to discuss their disabilities and determine a plan for
academic access. Typically, meetings are held weekly and discussions may include:
•
•
•
Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g., extended time, note-taking)
Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, student technology assistance, academic advising, counseling,
financial aid)
Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Accommodations Laboratory
23
•
•
Assistance with academic, organizational, and time management skills
Campus living accommodations
The Disability Specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisors, and other members of the College faculty,
staff, or administration to support each student as they work toward success. Taking advantage of these opportunities
and services, however, remains the student’s responsibility.
Any Augsburg student who wants to establish eligibility for accommodations and services should schedule a meeting
with a Specialist to discuss appropriate documentation. CLASS also provides informal screenings for students who
suspect they may have a learning-related disability. These screenings are meant only to help students determine
whether they should seek a thorough evaluation by a qualified professional.
Academic accommodations are intended to ensure access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities and
may not fundamentally alter the basic nature or essential curricular components of an institution’s courses or programs.
CLASS services are made possible in part through endowment support provided by the Gage family and the Groves
Foundation.

Academic Programs and Policies
Academic Calendars
All of our graduate programs meet on a semester calendar. Academic Calendars can be found at
www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change without notice.
Academic Policies
The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the
American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges.
Academic Honesty
A college is a community of learners whose relationship relies on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity
and credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg College community. Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a
College requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student
pledging to abide by the College’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity.
(See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide)
Evaluation and Grading
Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0
achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for details of field study and special projects. Students must
achieve a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards
Policy. Grading option cannot be changed from traditional (0.0 - 4.0) to Pass/No Credit.

Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V) on a space-available
basis. Graduate students will be charged an audit fee of $1,000. The written permission of the instructor is required to
register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of
the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the
course will be listed on the transcript with a V grade. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a
grade of W. Audited courses do not count towards graduation.
Withdrawal Grade
A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a W grade
and before the last day to withdraw.
25
Incomplete (I) Grades
An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student
emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of
passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a
student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Registrar’s Office that states the reasons for the
request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The
instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend
the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must
complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade
before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the
specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0.
Extension (X) Grades
Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case,
they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A
grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given
X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being
maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not
longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not
demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned.
Repeated Courses
A course in which a grade of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which
higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken each
term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades
earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point
average. Courses completed at Augsburg College must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat policy.
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade
points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not
computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is:
GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted, i.e., courses with 0.0 to 4.0 grade assigned.
Attendance
Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation
may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students
to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements
to address the needs of particular courses, individual students, or various learning styles.
Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the
professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible,
students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible.
Non-Attendance/Non-Participation
Attendance/participation in class is important for academic success and financial aid. Therefore, students are dropped
for non-attendance/non-participation after the 10th business day of the term if reported by the instructor. Students are
ultimately responsible for dropping classes if they no longer plan to attend/participate. Students who have been
dropped and wish to re-enroll must submit and Academic/Financial Petition.
Graduate Continuation Policy
Students registering for the final project course must complete the Final Project Registration/Graduate Continuation
Contract by the last day to add with faculty signature for a Full Semester class as noted on the Academic Calendar. Upon
26
receipt of the contract, the Registrar’s Office will enroll the student in the Continuation Program for 13 semesters. Entry
into the Continuation Program maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, including library and AugNet
Services.
Students can request an extension of up to 3 semesters beyond the initial 13 semesters to the program director by
completing the Graduate Continuation Extension Contract. Approval of the extension is at the discretion of the program
director. If a grade is not received and an extension has not been granted by the grading deadline of the 13th semester,
the grade will change from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project after receiving a failing grade must
meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students who are readmitted may
need to complete additional coursework and will need to pay tuition and fees for any additional courses. If/when the
final project course is completed, the new grade would replace the previous N grade.
Students may withdraw from the College, and thus from the Continuation Program and the final project course, at any
point during the continuation period and receive a W notation on the transcript for the final project course. Following a
withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and
program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional coursework and will need to pay full tuition
and fees for any additional courses. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would replace the
previous W grade.
Credit and Contact Hours
Augsburg’s credit hour policy follows the federal guidelines in defining a semester credit hour as one fifty-minute period
of instruction and 100 minutes of out-of-class work per week for fifteen weeks, or the equivalent amount of student
work completed over a different time frame or via a different delivery method.
All Augsburg programs follow the semester calendar with semester lengths from 14-16 weeks. Augsburg offers a
summer semester which follows the same format as both fall and spring semester. Students must take at least 3 credits
to be considered half-time, and 6 or more credits to be considered full-time. Students may take up to 22 credits.
Degree Requirements
To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following:
•
•
•
Successful completion of all required courses
A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy.
Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed
continuation agreement with Augsburg College.
Probation and Dismissal
Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the
student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be
restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistant must consult
the PA Program Progression Standards Policy.
A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more
terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out
with the program director.
Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the
College.
Dismissal Appeals Process
A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the College’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are
limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate negatively affected the outcome.
The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard copy of the statement of appeal to the Assistant Vice
President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate Studies (AVP-Graduate Studies); email is not acceptable. The
statement must identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The
27
statement of appeal will be the only basis of the student’s appeal. The AVP-Graduate Studies must receive the student’s
statement of appeal within 14 calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal.
The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the statement of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must
submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within 15 business days of the date that the statement was
received by the AVP-Graduate Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVPGraduate Studies. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the program’s response to the student.
The AVP-Graduate Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the AVP-Graduate
Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty members (one from programs not named in the appeal:
Business, Creative Writing, Education, Leadership, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, Social Work). The Program
Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s statement of
response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures and ask
questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each bring
a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg College faculty member, staff member, or student). The role
of the third party representative is to provide support to the student or the program representative, not to serve as an
advocate during the meeting.
Dropping or Withdrawing
Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or with a Registration Form. To
see the drop and withdrawal deadlines, see the Academic Calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar.
Independent Study
Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty
sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director
in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered
in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special independent study registration form
is required and is available on the Registrar’s Office website.
Term Off
Students may take a term off for up to two semesters and have continued access to Augsburg e-mail and AugNet
Services. If a student is not registered after 10th day of the third semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the
student will need to submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll.
For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of
program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their advisor and obtain the
advice of their director.
Evaluation of Transfer Credit
Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit
will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide appropriate documentation regarding
previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be
considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university institution and graded 3.0/B
or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program
requirements at Augsburg.
The maximum number of semester credits that can be transferred is:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Master of Arts in Education (6)
Master of Arts in Leadership (6)
Master of Arts in Nursing (9)
Master of Business Administration (18)
Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (12)
Master of Music Therapy (Contact program director)
28
•
•
•
Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator)
Master of Social Work (22)
Doctor of Nursing Practice (Contact program director)
Augsburg credits are calculated in semester hours. If you completed courses at other institutions that are quarter hours,
they will be converted to semester hours. One quarter hour equates to two-thirds of a semester hour.
Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from
other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average.

Master of Arts in Education
Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and
elsewhere. The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program combines our excellent undergraduate licensure program
with a master’s level focus on teacher leadership, preparing teachers to serve K-12 students effectively and to nurture
healthy change within schools and school systems.
Our Philosophy
The Education Department program themes include relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and
leadership. One of these themes is lived out within the MAE program —leadership. As this program theme suggests, we
expect our students to leave our programs as responsive, knowledgeable teachers prepared to exercise leadership in the
classroom and, eventually, the school and community.
Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through a combination of course content, field
experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students will leave our programs as collaborative and capable
teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world.
Our Faculty
Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors, all of whom
have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all full-time faculty
members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision, volunteer
work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do. We value
good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers.
Our Accessibility
We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and personal
responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of
licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings to allow you to manage these responsibilities while
pursuing your goals. You will need to be available during the weekday for the challenge and responsibility of field
experiences, but education coursework is accessible through the evening schedules*.
As a student in Augsburg’s Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among
interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly-qualified teacher—
the teacher you can become.
*As of Fall 2014 our programs are transitioning from a weekend to an evening schedule. New students will be in the
evening program. For the time being, end of program MAE degree completion options will remain on the weekend
schedule.
Education Department Mission
The mission of the Augsburg Education Department is to develop responsive, knowledgeable teachers committed to
educating all learners in a diverse and changing world.
Program Themes
Responsive, knowledgeable teachers understand the dynamic interaction among relationships, reflection and inquiry,
diversity and equity, and leadership. These four interrelated program themes provide lenses through which we filter our
practice.
Relationships
Learning is relational and communal. Responsive teachers create significant relationships with their students,
colleagues, and community partners by developing learning communities. These nurturing learning communities provide
safe, trustworthy places where challenging and engaging questions can be considered. We model the kinds of learning
communities that we expect our graduates to create. We share with our students a learning model that connects
30
content, theory, and practice in an ongoing cycle. Students and their learning are the focus for responsive teachers.
Therefore we embrace and foster a progressive and constructivist orientation.
Reflection and Inquiry
Responsive teachers are reflective practitioners who are students of teaching and learning. Providing numerous
frameworks through which to filter our experience encourages intentional and thoughtful inquiry. Through field
placements, service learning, generative questions, and classroom experiences, students and faculty develop their
perspectives about teaching and learning. Critical reflection allows us to examine content, theory, and practice in ways
that transform our practice. We think it is important to understand and learn how to manage the many polarities
inherent in the teaching and learning process.
Diversity and Equity
Responsive teachers embrace diversity and intentionally work to ensure that all learners, especially those who for some
reason have been marginalized, learn and develop in powerful ways. We continually reflect on what it means to be a
“school in the city.” We recognize that each student is unique, shaped by culture and experience; therefore,
differentiating instruction is essential. The perspective of multiple intelligences, learning style theory and teaching for
understanding help us differentiate and enable us to provide choice, variety, and flexibility. Responsive teachers believe
that all students can learn. They also have a sense of efficacy and believe that they can help all students learn.
Leadership
Responsive teachers recognize that becoming a learning leader is a developmental process, which begins in pre-service
education and continues throughout one’s career. Teachers serve as leaders within the classroom, and with experience,
increased confidence, and professional development become leaders within the school, the district, and the community.
Teacher leaders view themselves as lifelong learners. They become role models committed to their profession as a
vocation rather than a job. Emerging teacher leaders keep student learning at the center of their work while advocating
for instructional innovation, constructivist curricular development, and systemic change.
Master of Arts in Education Conceptual Framework
Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion program. The
Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their
institutions and communities.
The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the
combined undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as
well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students
are required to include coursework focused on leadership and study aspects of leadership as part of their degree
program. Third, the final project—be it an action research, a leadership application project, or performance assessment
—gives students the opportunity to study an issue of concern and, supported by research, define a means for addressing
it.
Three Teacher Leadership Aspirations inform our program. They are as follows:
Aspiration 1: Teacher leaders value learning for personal and professional growth. Teacher leaders share knowledge
effectively with colleagues. We believe that teacher leaders are comfortable with their knowledge and expertise,
neither flaunting it nor hiding it, but sharing it with others generously. They work to build bridges with a full range of
colleagues, but they don’t let recalcitrant colleagues stop their own development. They see learning as a continuous
endeavor and seek it throughout their careers.
Aspiration 2: Teachers leaders think big—beyond the classroom to the broader context of education and community.
We believe that teacher leaders see systems and the “big picture” and are able to put their classrooms, schools, and
communities into a broader context. They understand the link between policies, politics, and education and participate
in change efforts at the macro and micro levels. They seek to work with administrators to establish school and district
policy that improves life for everyone. If this involves political action, they are prepared to engage in it. Teacher leaders
also understand that teaching and learning are dynamic and that change within school systems is an ever-present
31
phenomenon. They are informed decision-makers predisposed to take on the challenge of change when they think it
benefits students, teachers, and/or community.
Aspiration 3: Teacher leaders possess courage and an orientation to action. We believe that teacher leaders help
others not be afraid. They are able to help people to take warranted risks and step outside their comfort zones. They
have the courage to bring people together to see the bigger picture and then help people get there. Teacher leaders
accept both power and accountability. They understand that responsibility without power diminishes potential for
effectiveness. They believe that accountability is a fair trade for the power to take effective action. They operate from a
foundation of self-efficacy.

Program Structure
The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program is made up of a core of education licensure courses at the graduate level
coupled with a degree completion option. Courses in the degree completion phase are drawn from the Master of Arts in
Leadership (MAL) and graduate courses in education. Most students in the MAE program pursue a K-12 teaching license
as part of their program plan.
The MAE degree is also open to students who do not want a teaching license but do want a background in education
and leadership. See the MAE program director for details.
32
The MAE degree requires ten or eleven Augsburg graduate level courses, depending on the degree completion option. In
addition, several courses at the undergraduate level are required for licensure. Only courses taken at the graduate level
apply towards the MAE degree.
Credit
MAE graduate level courses are offered for 3 semester credits. Each course is comprised of 37.5 instructional hours with
the expectation of about 75 hours of independent study outside of class.
Schedule
The majority of the education courses in the MAE licensure and degree programs are offered through the evening
schedule. Courses during the evening meet face to face every other week with online instruction during the alternate
weeks. A few education courses and many undergraduate content area courses are offered in a face to face, classroom
based format, meeting weekly in the evenings. The MAL and education degree completion courses are offered primarily
in a weekend schedule through a mix of face-to-face and online instruction. Summer session courses are offered
primarily weekday evenings. Summer courses are offered in a mix of formats from all online to all face-to-face.
The following teaching licenses are available entirely through the evening and summer schedule: elementary education,
pre-primary endorsement, 5-12 social studies, 5-12 communication arts, K-12 art, K-12 special education, and K-12
English as a second language. For the time being, the K-12 Reading Teacher endorsement and degree completion
courses are offered in hybrid form through a weekend framework.
Additional licenses in the following areas are available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, summer
schedules, and, occasional off-campus courses: biology, chemistry, health, mathematics, music, physical education, and
physics. For these licenses, the education and degree completion courses are taken weekday evenings and summer
while some, if not all, of the content area courses are taken during the weekday and/or off-campus.
The weekday evening schedule is comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. In
general, classes are held every other week, face to face with online instruction in the intervening week. The weekday
schedule is also comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. Classes offered during the
weekday meet one to three times per week. Classes offered jointly between weekday and weekend meet on a weekly
basis in the evening. The official academic calendars can be found at http://www.augsburg.edu/registrar/.
Curriculum—Teaching Licenses
K-6 Elementary Education
This program is designed to prepare teachers for grades K-6. Optional endorsements in middle school specialty areas of
math, science, social studies, and communication arts and in pre-primary can be pursued along with or separately from
the K-6 license. The teaching license and some endorsements are offered at both undergraduate and graduate levels
through a mix of undergraduate courses and combined graduate and undergraduate courses. Graduate-level licensure
coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and have been admitted to
the MAE program.
All of the following courses must be taken for K-6 elementary licensure. Up to seven courses may be taken at the
graduate (500) level and applied toward the MAE degree.

*Field experience hours are required in these courses. Students spend 20 or more hours per term in field experiences.
These experiences occur in K-6 classrooms during the weekday. If more than one course with field experience is taken in
a given term, field experience requirements expand accordingly (i.e., two courses with 20 hours of field experience each
require a total of 40 hours).
Undergraduate Liberal Arts Requirements
The number of supporting content area courses required for licensure depends upon the courses completed as part of
the bachelor’s degree and/or other coursework. Requirements are determined by Minnesota licensure standards for
specific college-level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary
licensure. Specific requirements are on file in the Education Department.
Minnesota licensure standards allow for optional subject area endorsements in communication arts/literature, social
studies, math, and science. Subject matter courses for these endorsements will be available through a combination of
weekday, evening and off-campus courses. The optional pre-primary endorsement is also available. Specific
requirements for these endorsements are on file in the Education Department.
Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or
better was achieved. The Education Department and the content area departments determine the courses that are
accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. Courses that are
older than five years are judged on a case-by-case basis. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is
not automatically accepted into the MAE degree. The program has limits on the amount and type of courses that are
accepted. Grades of B or better are required for transfer consideration. See the MAE program director for approval of
graduate coursework accepted in transfer.
Preprimary Endorsement for Elementary Licensure
This endorsement can be added to a K-6 elementary license. Required courses include the following:
PSY 250 - Child Development (PSY 105 is a prerequisite for this course)
SOC 231 - Family Systems: Cross Cultural Perspectives
or SPE 490/540 - Parent and Professional Planning (Graduate students take SPE 540.)
ECE 345/545 - Foundations of Preprimary Education
ECE 346/546 - Learning Environments for Preprimary-Aged Children
ECE 347/547 - Immersion and Teaching Competence
ECE 488, 489 - Student Teaching: Preprimary
K-12 and 5-12 Secondary Education
K-12 and 5-12 licenses in several content areas are offered through a combination of graduate and undergraduate
coursework. K-12 licenses prepare teachers to teach a content area across elementary, middle school, and high school.
Licenses for grades 5- 12 prepare teachers to teach at the middle and high school levels. Graduate-level licensure
coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet MAE admissions
criteria.
34
Subject matter courses in the following majors are offered on weekday evenings and summer: English, communications
(for communication arts), history or economics or psychology (for social studies), art. Students seeking 5–12 licensure in
social studies must complete a broad-based core of courses in the social studies in addition to a social science major.
Education courses for these licenses are also taken during weekday evenings and summer.
The following content area majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry,
physics, health, physical education, music, and mathematics. Students seeking licensure in any of these areas typically
will need to take additional content courses in the weekday schedule and off-campus. Students can obtain a 9-12 license
in physics, chemistry, or biology and have the option of adding the 5–8 general science to the 9-12 license. Students also
can obtain the 5–8 general science license without the 9–12 license. Education courses for these licenses are taken
during weekday evenings.
Licensure Requirements
The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for
licensure; four to seven of them also may be taken at the graduate level and applied toward the master’s degree in
education.

settings is required prior to student teaching. Students spend approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences.
Undergraduate Content Area Requirements
The equivalent of a major in the licensure content area is required for K-12 and 5-12 licenses. Students who have
majored in a field in which we offer licensure must have their previous coursework evaluated by the major department
at Augsburg. Two or more content area courses tied to Minnesota licensure standards are generally required, even with
a completed academic major.
Previous coursework is evaluated by the content area department and accepted if it meets Minnesota licensure
standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. Coursework older than five years is judged on a case-by-case basis.
Specific course requirements for each content area are on file in the Education Department.
Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree program.
See the MAE program director for approval to use graduate level transfer courses in the degree program.
Special Education
Augsburg College offers licensure in K–12 Special Education: Academic Behavioral Strategist (ABS). This program
qualifies students to teach in special education programs and positions working with students with mild to moderate
disabilities in the areas of emotional/behavioral disabilities, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disabilities,
developmental and cognitive disabilities and other health disabilities. This program is built on an inclusive education
model. Under this model, students learn how to work closely with both special and general educators to facilitate
35
inclusion of special education students into the regular education classroom. Five years after being licensed, teachers
must extend their license in one of the above categories through additional coursework.
Also available is the Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort—this graduate licensure program in Special
Education: EBD/LD is designed and taught from an American Indian perspective. It is offered in collaboration with the
University of Minnesota-Duluth as a hybrid (partly face-to-face and partly online) cohort program. The licensure courses
can be applied towards the MAE degree. See the Education Department and http://www.augsburg.edu/mae/tribalspecial-education for more information.
The ABS licensure program is offered through weeknight and summer schedules. The Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special
Education Cohort program is offered primarily online with weekend sessions at the beginning and end of each semester.

K-12 English as a Second Language (ESL) License
The K-12 English as a Second Language license is available as an initial license as well as an endorsement to an existing
license. This license qualifies teachers to work with K-12 students for whom English is a second language across a range
of subject areas. The K-12 ESL licensure program is comprised of both undergraduate and graduate courses; up to seven
of the graduate courses can apply to the completion of the MAE degree. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and
above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and have been admitted to the MAE program. A
pre-requisite to program admissions is two years of high school level or one year of college level language instruction.
The K-12 ESL program is offered in a hybrid format which means that courses are a mix of face to face and online
instruction. Classes are offered during the academic year in the evening semester framework and during summer
session to make them accessible to working adults. This license is also offered as an undergraduate major to Augsburg
Undergraduate (AU) students seeking a baccalaureate degree.

K-12 Reading Teacher Endorsement
The K-12 Reading Endorsement provides teachers with existing teaching licenses an opportunity to expand their
knowledge and practice in the area of reading instruction and potentially provide leadership within schools and districts
in reading instruction. Candidates for this license will complete five classes that have been designed to meet the
requirements established for this license by the Minnesota Board of Teaching. Students may use these courses to fulfill
requirements for the Master of Arts in Education degree.
The K-12 Reading Teacher Endorsement program is offered in a hybrid format which means that courses are a mix of
face-to-face and online instruction. Classes are offered during summer sessions and within the weekend format during
the academic year. The endorsement program is designed to be completed within 12 months in a cohort model. Field
experiences at elementary, middle school and high school levels are required; student teaching is not required.

EDC 545 - Reading Leadership: Assessment and Instruction with Middle and High School Readers*
*Field experience required
Student Teaching
Students are required to complete student teaching for initial and additional licenses (unless otherwise indicated). In the
MAE program, student teaching is generally completed before finishing the degree. Students can apply for licensure at
this point and finish the degree later. Student teaching for elementary, secondary, and K-12 initial licenses lasts 12-14
weeks, depending on licensure scope. During that time, students work full-time as student teachers and are supervised
by an Augsburg faculty member. Students register for eight to twelve semester credits of student teaching and a two
semester credit edTPA and student teaching seminar. They meet at Augsburg College for student teaching seminars
several times during the term. Most student teaching placements are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area and
Rochester. However, students do have the opportunity to student teach abroad, where students complete a 10-week
student teaching experience in the metro area and then complete another student teaching experience abroad.
Opportunities to teach abroad are available around the world, and it is a wonderful way to build a global perspective in
education. Additional information is available through the Education Department.
Student teaching for special education is 12 weeks in length for initial licenses and 7 weeks for those who already hold a
license. For students who are working in a special education setting appropriate to the ABS license, a student teaching
placement at that site may be possible, pending district approval. Additional information is available through the
Education Department.
Student teaching for ESL is 14 weeks in length and requires two placements, elementary and secondary. A single seven
week placement is required for those who already hold a license. See the Education Department for more information.
Student teaching is required for the preprimary endorsement and middle school endorsements. See the Education
Department for more information.
Curriculum—Graduate Degree Completion Options
Students take graduate coursework as part of the licensure program. This coursework forms the Master of Arts in
Education licensure core, with between four to seven Augsburg graduate-level licensure courses fulfilling master’s
requirements. Students bringing fewer than seven graduate-level licensure courses or 21 semester credits into the
degree program must complete additional Master of Arts in Leadership (ML) or education graduate courses to reach the
required 30-33 semester credits for the MAE degree.
To finish out the master’s degree, students will need to complete one of the following options.
38
Action Research Degree Completion Option (Minimum 30 credits)
This degree completion option requires a minimum of three classes totaling at least nine semester credits: a Master of
Arts in Leadership (ML) elective, EDC 592 Action Research 1, and EDC 593 Action Research 2. The action research courses
guide the student through completion of a long-term action research project, typically conducted in the student’s
classroom and focused on a question or concern identified by the student. The research is presented at an action
research symposium and a formal written report of the research is placed in Lindell Library. The coursework for action
research is designed to be completed in two semesters; the project itself is done once the research is presented at an
action research symposium and the paper is accepted for placement in Lindell Library. Additional terms beyond those in
which the courses are completed are available through continuing registration for up to 13 semesters at no further
charge.
Leadership Application Project (LAP) Degree Completion Option (Minimum 30 credits)
This option is currently suspended until further notice.
This degree completion option requires a minimum of three classes totaling at least nine semester credits: an ML
elective, EDC/ML 514 Research Methods - Education focus or ML 514 - Research Methods and EDC 585 - Leadership
Application Project. Students electing this degree completion option do so because they are interested in developing an
educational product that meets an identified need or because they are interested in conducting an independent
research project with the assistance of a faculty advisor. To be successful in this option, students must be self-directed
and able to maintain momentum without the structure of an actual course. The goal for the project varies, depending on
the type of LAP. There are two options within the LAP.
•
•
The goal for those developing an educational product is to identify an issue or problem related to their practice, and
after researching available literature, develop a solution to the problem or issue. The solution might be developed in
the form of a curriculum, a workshop, a set of informational materials, a website, an article for publication or other
appropriate educational product.
The goal for those conducting independent research is also to identify an issue or problem to investigate; but in this
case, the investigation is through an independent research project. For those conducting independent research, it is
especially important to have a clear vision in mind for the research and have an advisor who is willing to provide
support throughout the project. Students need a research background beyond what is provided within the MAE
program to be successful with this option.
Both options are completed through a final oral presentation and placement of the final paper in the Lindell Library.
Additional terms beyond those in which the courses are completed are available through continuing registration for up
to 13 semesters at no further charge.
Performance Assessment/Teacher Leadership Degree Completion Option (Minimum 33 credits)
This degree completion option focuses on the theme of the MAE degree program - teacher leadership - and requires a
minimum of the following four classes:
EDC 570 - Teacher Leadership
EDC/ML 514 - Research Methods (ML 514 can be substituted if necessary)
EDC 594 - Performance Assessment Project
One ML leadership-focused course, preferably from this list:
ML 510 - Visions of Leadership (when taught with an emphasis on leadership rather than literature)
ML 531 - Dynamics of Change
ML 535 - Organizational Theory and Leadership
ML 540 - Political Leadership: Theory and Practice
ML 545 - Decision Making and Leadership
ML 565 - Women and Leadership
Additional courses may also be used with approval of the MAE Director.
39
Students electing this degree completion option do so because they are especially interested in considering leadership
within the context of education and themselves as potential change agents. EDC 594 must be taken as the last course in
this sequence. Students finish their degree through this option with the successful completion of these four classes.
Alternate Settings—MAE in Rochester
In step with Augsburg College’s excellent reputation in the field of education, the Master of Arts in Education program is
also offered in Rochester, MN. Licenses are available in elementary education and special education: ABS. Classes
primarily meet weekday evenings and summer at Bethel Lutheran Church in Rochester.
Elementary education
The K-6 elementary education license allows students to teach in grade K-6. Augsburg College offers this license at the
graduate level to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet admissions requirements. Courses for this
license are available in Rochester.
Special education
The K-12 Academic Behavior Specialist (ABS) program is designed for students currently working with or planning to
work with students with mild to moderate special needs. The program leads to Minnesota teaching licensure in special
education and the ability to work with students whose special needs are categorized as EBD, LD, DCD, ASD, and/or OHI.
All courses for these licenses are available in Rochester.
The Performance Assessment degree completion option is offered in Rochester as needed, typically every other year.
MAL Elective Courses

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

Master of Arts in Leadership
MAL Mission
The purpose of the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program is to develop leaders for organizations, the community,
and society. Organizations seek leaders who possess:
•
•
•
•
•
An ethically and morally responsible vision
An understanding of how change occurs and how it can be managed
A sensitivity to the complex problems of organizations and an ability to find solutions consistent with their mission
Cultural competence and sensitivity to the needs of a diverse population
The ability to inspire and motivate people to work toward a common goal
The Augsburg leadership development model provides a framework through which the program recruits its students and
develops their skills.
Program Overview
The study of leadership is central to Augsburg College. The College mission statement says, “Augsburg College educates
students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.” The Master of Arts in
Leadership is quintessentially Augsburg. The integrated liberal arts perspective on leadership education is what we think
of as the “Augsburg difference.”
The Master of Arts in Leadership is the core program of Augsburg’s Center for Leadership Studies (CLS). Developed and
launched in 1987, it is Augsburg’s oldest graduate degree and one of the oldest leadership graduate degrees in the
United States. The program responds to the leadership development needs of both for-profit and not-for-profit
organizations. MAL has a deep theoretical base in leadership studies, yet also offers its students practical approaches to
leadership that can be applied in the workplace and society.
Leadership Development Model
The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that:
•
•
•
Inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources
Promotes productivity within and beyond the organization
Works toward progress for the individual and the organization
To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision,
the ability to persuade, and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are abilities and awareness, outlined
in the Leadership Development Model, which serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg’s model of
leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the individual.
Learning Goals and Outcomes
The MAL program is designed to support students in developing the knowledge and skills to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Explore the nature and practice of leadership in a wide variety of dynamic organizational and community settings
Develop a personal understanding and philosophy of leadership
Aspire to be responsible leaders who are informed citizens, critical thinkers, and thoughtful stewards
Enhance knowledge of self and the capacity to be reflective learners
Analyze and navigate increasingly complex changing environments
Formulate and articulate a shared vision in order to inspire others to achieve desired goals
MAL Courses
Each course encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to
adult learners. Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity.
These techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and
44
understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the
world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative abilities.
Plan of Study
Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule
Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL program is based on the assumption that the
students who enroll are career-oriented, self-disciplined, and well-motivated individuals seeking a balance of classroom
experience, group interaction, and individual study. Courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for
discussion and dialogue.
The program features classes taught by faculty from multiple disciplines and offers two formats to allow students to
choose the option that works best for them. Both formats offer a combination of classroom and online learning styles in
different proportions. The classic classroom format emphasizes face-to-face instruction augmented by online work. The
integrated hybrid format combines online and intensive learning experiences with occasional sessions in a traditional
classroom setting.
Two Convenient Formats: Classic Classroom and Integrated Hybrid Cohort
Overview Classic Classroom Format
For more than 25 years, our classic classroom format has featured a flexible choice model that allows students to select
courses that focus on individual goals, interests, and learning style. Students can also determine the pace at which they
move through the program. This format offers numerous electives and allows for individualized studies. Some online
work is incorporated into this format.
Schedule
During fall and spring semesters, classes usually meet every other Saturday morning or afternoon for four hours.
Additional instruction time is provided online. Seven Saturday sessions are included in one semester. Some select classes
meet on Monday evenings. Students can take a combination of Saturday and Monday courses.
A sample class schedule in the classic classroom format:
Period I
Saturday
8:00 am to 12:00 pm
Period II
Saturday
1:00 pm to 5:00 pm
Period III
Weeknights
6:00 pm to 10:00 pm
Note: Each class taken commits a student to Period I, Period II, or Period III, an average of two meetings a month. A few
courses are taught on an immersion model, which features fewer but longer sessions.
The MAL program also offers summer semester courses in seven-week, fourteen-week, or special immersion formats.
Curriculum
Four core courses:
ML 505 - Foundations of Leadership
ML 514 - Research Methods
ML 580 - Colloquium on Contemporary Theories of Leadership
ML 585 - Integrating the Theory and Practice of Responsible Leadership (Capstone Course)
Seven electives, selected from more than 20 offerings*
*Students may petition the program to do a thesis in place of two of the elective courses. Students who do the thesis
are required to develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of leadership or of a leadership-related topic
and register for ML 592 Thesis Consultation I and ML 593 Thesis Consultation II. Students electing to write a thesis are
still required to take ML 585 to complete the program.

Overview of Integrated Hybrid Cohort Format
A combination of online, classroom, and experiential learning
The integrated hybrid model is completed in two years with a combination of intensive face-to-face sessions and online
coursework. Students complete the program with a cohort of peers representing many different perspectives. Students
learn from each other and build relationships that will provide support throughout the program and a valuable network
for the future.
Schedule
After starting with a five-day summer experience, classes meet on a semester schedule September through mid-April
(fall and spring semesters) and mid-May through mid-August summer semester). Coursework will be online and
supported by three on-campus class sessions per term.

including a capstone course (ML 585).
MBA/MAL Dual Degree
The dual degree program takes advantage of the intellectual benefits of studying business administration and leadership
in a coordinated program. It leverages Augsburg’s long tradition of graduate leadership training via the MA in Leadership
with the robust demand for business education through our MBA program. The dual degree provides students with the
leadership skills needed to run a business and, at the same time, helps them develop the comprehensive outlook they
need to thrive in today’s interconnected world.
A minimum of 18 Augsburg courses completes the MBA/MA in Leadership dual degree, including at least 7 MBA

One Additional Elective Course
Elective course may be taken in either MBA or MA in Leadership Program
Admission to the Dual Degree Program
Admission for the dual degree program is handled on a “rolling” basis and requires applicants to hold a bachelor’s
degree from a regionally accredited four-year college or university. Official transcripts from all post-secondary
institutions are required as well as a current résumé and two recommendations. An interview with the program director
is also part of the admissions process.
Although we do accept the GMAT and GRE, we also offer candidates an alternative math and writing profile assessment
entitled the Individual Learning Profile (ILP) which provides a picture of candidate’s math and writing (verbal)
competency detailing strengths and areas of improvement. The profile is not an admissions screening instrument and
will be used as a platform to develop a skills improvement plan for students should they need it.
Earning the dual degree during or after the MBA or MA in Leadership program
Students who are currently enrolled in the MBA or MA in Leadership program or alumni who wish to return to
Augsburg may add the dual degree to their existing degree by completing most of the same requirements listed on the
front of this page. Students may use previously completed application pieces and coursework to help meet these
requirements.
Returning students may complete an abbreviated application form after consultation with the MBA or ML program
director. Upon entering the MBA program, a quantitative online profile assessment must also be taken. This is used as a
platform to enhance skills, if needed.
Students with an MA in Leadership who wish to add the dual degree will take a minimum of 7 required MBA courses.
Students will complete one course in each of the 3 focus areas if they did not complete these courses during their MAL
program. Each student’s program will be slightly different based on their prior course selections.
Students with an MBA will complete 4 required and 3 elective MA in Leadership courses. Students will need to complete
one course in each of the 3 focus areas if they did not complete these courses during their MBA program. Each student’s
program will be slightly different based on their prior course selections.
Students in both programs will meet individually with the program directors to determine whether their completed final
project meets the criteria aligned with the dual degree final project. Directors may ask that the project be modified or
added to or ask the student to complete another project. These decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis.
Certificate in Leadership Studies
The certificate program is an attractive option for people who want to develop their leadership skills without
undertaking a full degree program. A certificate is awarded after completion of five Augsburg MAL courses in leadership.
Students pursuing this option take ML 505 - Foundations of Leadership and four additional electives. The normal
application process is used for students who wish to pursue the certificate.
Joint BA in Accounting and Master of Arts in Leadership
A BA in Accounting and an MA in Leadership (MAL) can be earned in this five-year program designed for students who
wish to qualify for CPA certification and obtain a master’s degree. By the end of the fifth year and successful completion
of all requirements, the student receives both a BA in Accounting and an MA in Leadership and will have fulfilled the
150-hour requirement to qualify for the CPA certification. The MAL program offers a large number of courses on a
weekend schedule or Monday evening. Refer to the MAL program schedule for the list of courses each year and to the
accounting program coordinator for a detailed academic plan. Students should meet with both the MAL director and an
accounting advisor to create an effective plan for successful completion of the five-year program.

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

Master of Arts in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice
Welcome to graduate nursing education at Augsburg College. Our classes are made up of students representing a
dynamic mix of cultures, spiritual traditions, and life-ways. It is exciting for us to offer experienced nurses transforming
educational opportunities and engaging transcultural encounters that expand their career choices and advance their
nursing practice.
The increasing diversity of our population today challenges all of us to respond to individual health care needs with
creativity and competence in a variety of emerging care settings. The Master of Arts in Nursing program is designed to
prepare nurses for those evolving contexts of care. Students can choose between two tracks of study: Transcultural
Nursing and Transformational Nursing Leadership. Each track of study emphasizes leadership skills, inter-professional
collaboration and ways to serve persons in a variety of care settings.
The post-master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program builds on the MAN and prepares nurses for innovative
health leadership and advanced nursing practice at local and system-wide levels. Drawing on a transcultural nursing
foundation, the DNP curriculum embraces integrative health care and holistic nursing practice to maximize health for
individuals and communities. Students design their own scholarly paths defined by their unique gifts, interests, and
practice goals. Throughout the DNP program there are a range of opportunities for collaboration across cultures, socioeconomic strata and care systems.
The post-BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) to DNP/Family Nurse Practitioner track of study prepares nurses for
advanced nursing leadership and integrative primary care of families across cultures and care settings. Drawing on a
transcultural nursing foundation, the DNP/FNP curriculum embraces integrative healthcare and holistic nursing practice.
Emphasis is on eliminating health inequities through peaceful, just, and collaborative actions that uphold and improve
human potential. The curriculum emphasizes knowledge, skills and values that foster one’s ability to lead change, while
addressing health needs and concerns of families and communities. Nursing scholarship and advanced autonomous
practice frame the critical exploration of knowledge in transcultural nursing, integrative healthcare practices,
transformational leadership, and health assessment.
Classes in both the DNP and MAN programs are offered on the Augsburg campus and at Bethel Lutheran Church in
Rochester, MN, where our branch campus is located. Video conferencing and online assignments are used for some of
the classes, however, our students and faculty are committed to driving from one site to the other at least once during
each semester to be physically present and together.
Building relationships is important to us. Program faculty and staff are available at both sites and eager to assist
students.

Master of Arts in Nursing
Mission
The Master of Arts in Nursing program is designed to prepare nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural
nursing practice across care settings with particular emphasis on addressing health inequities. Students select from two
tracks of study—Transformational Nursing Leadership or Transcultural Nursing. Both tracks prepare nurse leaders to
assume a wide variety of roles and responsibilities throughout the healthcare system and in emerging care settings in
communities.
Curriculum
The MAN curriculum is organized into 33 semester credits –15 semester credits in a Nursing Core, in which all students
enroll, and 18 semester credits in one of the two Tracks of Study. Practica are taken concurrently with most courses and
are integrated throughout the program. Each semester credit of practicum is equal to 45 clock hours of practice.
Students select a track of study when applying to the program, however, this is not essential until after one’s first
semester. Students may study full-time (6-8 semester credits per term) or part-time (4 semester credits per term). Time
to degree completion takes an average 22 months when studying full-time, and 32 months when studying part-time.
Nursing Core Courses (15 semester credits)
The core nursing courses integrate a strong foundation of social justice incorporating multiple ways of knowing with
curricular emphasis on nursing science, art, and theory to guide practice.
NUR 500 - Transcultural Health Care (3 semester credits)
NUR 500P - Practicum: Transcultural Health Care (1 semester credit)
NUR 541 - Politics of Health (3 semester credits)
NUR 541P - Practicum: Politics of Health Care (1 semester credit)
NUR 505 - Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Nursing Practice (3 semester credits)
NUR 505P - Practicum: Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Practice Nursing (1 semester credit)
NUR 520 - Research Methods in Nursing (3 semester credits)
Transformational Nursing Leadership Track (18 semester credits)
The Transformational Nursing Leadership track is designed to develop nurse leaders’ ability to critically analyze,
articulate, and develop effective strategies to cope with high level health care disparities. Curricular emphasis is on interprofessional collaboration across care settings. Participation in nursing leadership practica in traditional and emerging
care settings adds depth and meaning to classroom dialogue. Practica also provide opportunities for students to apply
knowledge and gain experience partnering with diverse care providers, populations, and communities to address health
inequities in creative and relevant ways. Transformational Nursing Leadership track courses include:
NUR 501 - Nursing Leadership in Complex Adaptive Systems (3 semester credits)
NUR 501P - Practicum: Nursing Leadership in Complex Adaptive Systems (1 semester credit)
NUR 521 - Transformational Nursing Leadership (3 semester credits)
NUR 521P - Practicum: Transformational Nursing Leadership (2 semester credits)

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

Schedules for Classes
Master’s classes are taught in a hybrid format combining in-class and web-based instruction to meet the needs of
working adults. Most classes meet 6 times per semester for 5 hour periods. Video conferencing is used to connect
students in Rochester, MN, with students in Minneapolis. Some driving for class is required, as students from Rochester
will travel to Minneapolis one time per term and students from Minneapolis will travel to Rochester one time per term.
If weather is inclement, video conferencing is used. Classes in Rochester meet at Bethel Lutheran Church at 810 3rd Ave
SE, Rochester, MN.
Practica are additional to courses. Students enroll in practica concurrently with enrollment in courses.

Doctor of Nursing Practice – Transcultural Nursing Leadership (DNPTCN)
The post-master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice program prepares nurses for innovative health leadership and advanced
nursing practice at local and system-wide levels. Drawing on a transcultural nursing foundation, the DNP-TCN curriculum
embraces integrative healthcare and holistic nursing practice. Emphasis is placed on maximizing health within
populations and communities through peaceful, just and collaborative actions across care settings and cultures, focusing
on eliminating health inequities locally and globally. As a post-master’s program, the DNP-TCN track of study builds upon
the strengths of the Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN) program and prepares nurses for advanced leadership and practice
roles in Transcultural Nursing (TCN) and Holistic Nursing.
Program Goals
Graduates of the Doctor of Nursing Practice program are prepared to:
•
•
•
Negotiate the complexity of multicultural care settings and care systems to eliminate health inequities among
populations and communities
Challenge conventional knowledge about illness through an ecological approach to social determinants of health
Lead change through building coalitions with marginalized people that are based on mutuality and common cause
Program Structure
The program is structured in a modified cohort model. One cohort a year will be admitted to begin in the fall term.
Students can choose to take full or part-time study. Students taking full-time study take two didactic offerings, two
seminars, and a practicum each semester. Students in full-time study can complete the post-master’s DNP-TCN
curriculum in 20 months, including completion of the capstone project. Students selecting part-time study take one
didactic offering, one seminar and a practicum each semester. As a part-time student, completion of the program is
expected to take 32 months, including completion of the capstone project.
The DNP curriculum is organized into 33 semester credits comprised of didactic classes, experiential practica, and
seminars, with a capstone project completing the degree. As a practice doctorate, the emphasis is on building leadership
and practice skills in knowledge application among diverse population groups. The goal is to improve health and
decrease health inequities that lead to unnecessary morbidity and mortality in communities.
Students graduating from the DNP-TCN track are eligible to apply to the Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission
(TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing and certification in Holistic Nursing through the American
Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation (AHNCC) (www.ahncc.org/).
Didactic
A total of six didactic courses (18 semester credits) constitute the DNP program. One course equals three semester
credits. Courses are taught in an immersion model two days a month—eight hours of class time the first day and four
hours the subsequent morning, followed by an afternoon seminar.
Class attendance is expected and should be considered a key responsibility, not only to one’s self, but to one’s
classmates and the course instructor. Classes are held on Augsburg’s campus in Minneapolis and in Rochester, MN, at
Bethel Lutheran Church (810 3rd Ave SE) the location of Augsburg’s branch campus. Video conferencing is used for some
of the classes, however, students must be prepared to drive to Rochester and/or Minneapolis for class at least once per
semester. If weather is inclement, video conferencing is used.
Practica
Practica are organized to give flexibility and individual choice to students to support their increasing independence and
depth of practice experience at the doctoral level. Students select practicum experiences that are either structured
immersions in a variety of cultural contexts led by nursing faculty or that are student initiated and individually directed
experiences mentored by nursing faculty.
In a 15-week semester, practicum hours are computed as follows:
58
•
•
•
1 semester credit hour =
2 semester credit hours =
3 semester credit hours =
45 clock hours of practicum time per semester
90 clock hours of practicum time per semester
135 clock hours of practicum time per semester
To earn the DNP, students must complete a total of 1,000 practicum hours in their Master’s and DNP programs.
Students will be allowed to transfer up to 600 practicum hours from their master’s in nursing into the Augsburg DNP. As
such, all students will register for at least nine semester credits of practica in the post-master’s DNP-TCN.
Seminars
Seminars focus on integration of conceptual learning with field practice, developing the student’s particular practice
interests. Students are required to participate in a doctoral seminar every semester —fall and spring—until completion
of the DNP degree. Cohorts of students who enter the DNP program together usually progress as a group in the
seminars in which they enroll each term, depending on whether they are studying full-time or part-time. The final
seminar (NUR 841) culminates in the capstone project presentation and completion of the requirements for the DNP
degree.
Final DNP Capstone Project
Final DNP capstone projects must make a significant impact on nursing practice and health outcomes of populations and
communities, demonstrate an evidence-based contribution to existing nursing knowledge, and be suitable for
presentation or publication in a peer-reviewed venue. Through this scholarly project students demonstrate leadership in
synthesizing and applying scientific knowledge to practice challenges in local and/or system wide contexts of care.
Students should begin working on their DNP capstone projects in the early stages of the DNP program and continue
throughout. This scholarly project is planned in collaboration with a major faculty advisor.
For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.

Doctor of Nursing Practice/Family Nurse Practitioner
The post-BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) to DNP/FNP track of study prepares nurses for advanced nursing
leadership and integrative primary care of families across cultures and care settings. Drawing on a transcultural nursing
foundation, the DNP curriculum embraces integrative healthcare and holistic nursing practice. Emphasis is on
eliminating health inequities through peaceful, just, and collaborative actions that uphold and improve human potential.
The curriculum emphasizes knowledge, skills and values that foster one’s ability to lead change, while addressing health
needs and concerns of families and communities. Nursing scholarship and advanced autonomous practice frame the
critical exploration of knowledge in transcultural nursing, integrative healthcare practices, transformational leadership,
and health assessment.
Program Goals
Graduates of the Doctor of Nursing Practice/Family Nurse Practitioner program are prepared to:
•
•
•
•
Negotiate the complexity of multicultural care settings and care systems to eliminate health inequities among
populations and communities.
Challenge conventional knowledge about illness through an ecological approach to social determinants of health.
Lead change through building coalitions with marginalized people that are based on mutuality and common cause.
Provide primary care to persons, families and communities with particular consideration for those who are
underserved and/or marginalized by dominant societal structures.
Program Structure
The program is structured to admit students beginning each fall semester. Students may take courses on a part-time or
full-time basis during the completion of their Masters of Nursing or Doctor of Nursing Practice courses. Full-time study is
required during the didactic and clinical courses in the FNP course sequence during the last two years of the program.
Length of program: The Post-BSN to DNP/FNP track of study leads to eligibility for certification as a Family Nurse
Practitioner (FNP) through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and requires a minimum of 84 semester
credit hours, including 57 didactic credit hours and 23 practicum credit hours.
Didactic
A total of 19 didactic courses (57 semester credits) constitute the DNP/FNP program. Didactic classes, structured
practica, and clinical experiences are taught in a variety of flexible schedules that are responsive to student needs.
Master level classes (NUR 500 level courses) consist of six classes a semester - five hours of class time, in addition to
taking a one credit practicum course associated with the didactic course. The DNP courses (NUR 800 level), are taught in
an immersion model two days a month - eight hours of class time for the first day and four hours the subsequent
morning, followed by an afternoon seminar. The FNP courses (final two years of study) are offered on Mondays
approximately five times a semester, class time hours will vary from 8 to 12 hours. Web-based assignments are
integrated into all classes through Moodle.
Summer meeting schedules will be more condensed. Community practicum experiences may be scheduled during the
class meeting days as well. Additionally, some courses may be taught in an immersion format, where students and
faculty are “immersed” in a unique socio-cultural context and course content and a set number of practicum hours are
condensed into seven to fourteen days.
Class attendance is expected and should be considered a key responsibility, not only to one’s self, but to one’s
classmates and the course instructor. Classes are held on Augsburg’s campus in Minneapolis and in Rochester, MN, at
Bethel Lutheran Church (810 3rd Ave SE) the location of Augsburg’s branch campus or at Hermitage Farm Center for
Healing, 6415 West River Road NW, Rochester, MN. Video conferencing is used for some of the classes, however,
students must be prepared to drive to Rochester and/or Minneapolis for class at least once per semester. If weather is
inclement, video conferencing is used.

Practica
Practica are organized to give flexibility and individual choice to students to support their increasing independence and
depth of practice experience at the doctoral level. Students select practicum experiences that are either structured
immersions in a variety of cultural contexts led by nursing faculty or that are student initiated and individually directed
experiences mentored by nursing faculty. FNP clinical sites will be arranged by clinical faculty.
In a 15-week semester, practicum hours are computed as follows:
•
•
•
1 semester credit hour =
2 semester credit hours =
3 semester credit hours =
45 clock hours of practicum time per semester

135 clock hours of practicum time per semester
To earn the DNP/FNP, students must complete a total of 1,035 practicum hours. Students will be allowed to transfer up
to 400 practicum hours from their master’s in nursing. To complete the DNP/FNP, students must complete 630 practica
hours (530 hours of primary care of the adult and 100 hours of primary care of children and women’s health). As such,
all students will register for at least 23 semester credits of practica.
Seminars
Seminars focus on integration of conceptual learning with field practice developing the student’s particular practice
interest. Students are required to participate in a total of four one-semester-credit doctoral seminars during the
DNP/FNP program. The final seminar culminates in the project presentation and completion of the requirements for the
DNP degree.
Final DNP/FNP Capstone Project
Final DNP/FNP capstone projects must make a significant impact on nursing practice and health outcomes of
populations and communities, demonstrate an evidence-based contribution to existing nursing knowledge, and be
suitable for presentation or publication in a peer-reviewed venue. Through this scholarly project students demonstrate
leadership in synthesizing and applying scientific knowledge to practice challenges in local and/or system wide contexts

MBA Program Overview
Today’s business leader must be able to quickly analyze situations and information and critically analyze alternatives and
courses of action. The purpose of the Augsburg MBA is to prepare students to accept greater responsibility in
organizations facing this dynamic and fast-evolving business culture. The curriculum of the MBA gives students the
ability to think critically and ethically as they face the increased challenges of a global business environment. Quality,
individual initiative, ethics, and teamwork are hallmarks of the Augsburg MBA. We have a commitment to continually
improve students’ experiences and learning in the program. Our faculty is uniquely qualified to bridge theory and realworld application, giving MBA students opportunities to acquire skills and knowledge in a variety of disciplines. The
Augsburg MBA offers students the flexibility of completing a general MBA or a specialized MBA with a concentration
that matches their interests and career goals.
Plan of Study
The Augsburg MBA is an accelerated, evening program that allows working professionals to complete an MBA degree in
approximately 24 months. This is accomplished by using a cohort model in which students follow a predetermined
schedule with classes meeting one night a week.
Students in a cohort program model stay together as a group through the sequence of classes for the duration of the
program. This provides a continuous, collaborative learning process. The cohort environment fosters a cohesive learning
community where students learn from each another, mentor each other, and peer coach. You’ll share diverse
professional expertise and experience as you work in teams on projects, case studies, presentations, and simulations,
65
both inside and outside of class. Working both individually and in small groups enables you to enhance your strengths,
build your skills, expand your business acumen, and improve your decision-making. Together as a community you’ll build
personal, social, and academic abilities.
Adult learners bring a wealth of work and personal life experiences with them into the classroom, multiplying the
opportunities for learning. The personal connections and relationships you build with fellow students and faculty will
extend into an important and valuable network as you take your career to new levels.
Program Requirements
The Augsburg MBA requires 39 semester credits for degree completion, consisting of 11 required courses and two
elective courses. All Augsburg MBA courses are three semester credits. Each course consists of 28-32 hours of in-class
instruction and 5 ½ - 9 ½ hours of online instruction through our web-based electronic course management system.
Up to nine credits may be waived through prior business coursework (with director/faculty approval) or certain
professional credentials (with appropriate documentation).

Specialized Plan of Study
The Augsburg MBA offers students the flexibility of completing a general MBA or a specialized MBA with a concentration
that matches their interests and career goals. An Augsburg MBA with a concentration consists of 11 required MBA
courses and 3 additional courses that focus on a specific area of interest.
Academic Calendar
The Augsburg MBA is designed as a year-round program. Courses are offered during fall, spring, and summer semesters.
Courses are offered consecutively during each term so students are able to concentrate on one subject at a time. The
program is designed to have students take at least two courses per term.
Official academic calendars and the MBA registration policies can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. The unique
cohort model of the Augsburg MBA requires individual schedules for each cohort. These schedules are provided by the
MBA department.

MSW/MBA Dual Degree
Many social service agencies today require that agency managers combine financial and business expertise with social
work practice and policy formation. The MSW/MBA degree enables graduates to function in a workplace that demands
the delivery of quality services with increasingly limited resources. The MSW/MBA dual degree option is available to
MSW students who elect the Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) concentration.
MSW/MBA students will spend their first two years taking Master of Social Work courses followed by approximately 15
months of MBA courses. For more information regarding the Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) coursework required
for the MSW/MBA dual degree, refer to the Master of Social Work section in this catalog. MSW students who graduated
after June 2002 are required to complete the following eight MBA courses:
MBA 510 - Applied Managerial Economics
MBA 520 - Accounting for Business Managers
MBA 530 - Managerial Finance
MBA 545 - Organizational Behavior
MBA 550 - Marketing Management
MBA 560 - Communication Issues in Management
MBA 575 - Strategic Technology
MBA 595 - Strategic Management
68
MSW students who graduated prior to 2002 are required to complete nine MBA courses. This includes the eight MBA
courses listed above as well as MBA 592 - Leadership: Ethics, Service, and Transformation.
MSW students may also be required to adjust their summative evaluation project to meet the requirements of the MSW
and MBA programs.
Students interested in the MSW/MBA program must apply to both programs. See the application guidelines listed under
each individual program.
NOTE: Admission to one program does not guarantee admission to the other.

GMAT Waiver Policy
As a general policy, the Augsburg MBA program requires the GMAT of all applicants, due to both the analytical and
critical evaluation components of our accelerated program. The GMAT is used both to evaluate the candidate’s
opportunity for success as well as to indicate areas where remedial work may be necessary. However, the Admissions
Committee will consider, on a case-by-case basis, GMAT waiver requests for the MBA program. Waivers are not
automatic for any candidate, and a brief written request must be submitted outlining the reasons why the Admissions
Committee should grant a GMAT waiver. Current occupation or undergraduate disciplines are not specific grounds for a
GMAT waiver.
Eligibility for GMAT Waivers
GMAT waivers may be offered to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Candidates with an appropriate and current GRE score.
Candidates who have been enrolled in a graduate degree program in a technical or quantitatively rigorous discipline
(such as actuarial science, engineering, mathematics, physics, economics, or chemistry) from an accredited
institution and who were in good academic standing with an overall grade point average of 3.0 or better (or the
equivalent of a B average under the system used by that institution). Students should have completed at least four
academic courses within this curriculum to qualify. It is important to note that employment history and current
assignment will be reviewed in addition to the degree requirement.
Candidates who hold the following graduate degrees from an accredited college or university with an overall grade
point average of 3.0 or better (or the equivalent of a B average under the system used by that institution.)
Medical or dental degree (MD, DDS)
Master’s or doctoral degree in an academic discipline that included a significant quantitative, engineering,
mathematics, or statistics component or involved research requiring significant quantitative skills.
Any other quantitatively-based graduate degree from an accredited college or university that the Admissions
Committee believes has highly prepared the candidate for rigorous graduate-level work
Master’s, PhD, EdD, or advanced degrees in disciplines other than those identified, including those granted by
academic institutions outside the US. These will be evaluated by the Admissions Committee. (See grade requirement
above)
Candidates who have completed a graduate program at Augsburg College in the MAL, MAN, MSW, MAE, or PA
programs.
Candidates with current and active CPA designation. If the CPA designation has been inactive and not current for a
period greater than five years, the waiver may not be granted.
GMAT Waiver Checklist

Any other information that you wish to submit to support your request.
70
Typically, GMAT waiver decisions are made within one week of receipt of materials. For questions about this checklist or
the waiver policy, contact either the Office of Admissions or the MBA program office.
Academic Policies
MBA Program Enrollment Policy
Students are strongly encouraged to remain in their cohort and complete their MBA program as scheduled. Adjustments
or modifications to the MBA schedule require the approval of the MBA program director.
All students are required to complete all components of the program within five years of matriculation. Extensions
beyond five years will be considered on the basis of petition to the MBA director. Students who leave the program for
more than one semester must request a leave of absence in writing from the MBA program. A leave of absence may be
granted for one calendar year. Students who return to the program after a leave of one year or more must fill out an
Application for Readmission form and submit it to the MBA office. Time spent on an official MBA-approved leave of
absence will not count toward the five-year deadline for degree completion.
Academic Evaluation
Evaluation of academic performance in the MBA program will be based on number grades using a 4.0-scale. For
complete information, see Academic Programs and Policies.
Withdrawal from Class
For information regarding the last date on which students may withdraw from a class and receive a “W” on their
records, refer to the academic calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar/.
Attendance Policies
Student attendance at scheduled class meetings is a priority and required. However, MBA faculty understand that MBA
students are working adults with significant responsibilities who, on occasion, face unforeseen situations that may
interfere with attendance. Students should notify the faculty member teaching the course as soon as possible when the
problem is immediate. When the student knows in advance of a class date where a potential conflict exists, they must
discuss the proposed missed class with the faculty member prior to the date of the class. Students are responsible for
the work covered during that class session and for making appropriate arrangements for obtaining handouts, lecture
content, or other materials. Faculty members may assign appropriate independent work to insure that the student
understands the material covered during the class session.
If appropriate and acceptable coordination is carried out by the student, there need not be any grade reduction for a
single missed class session. This may be dependent on assignments due on the date of the missed class; e.g., final
project presentations or team presentations. Point/grade reductions for unexcused absences are the prerogative of the
faculty. Two missed class sessions, unexcused or excused, may be grounds for directing the student to withdraw from
the course. More than two absences, excused or unexcused, require that a student withdraw from the class.
Degree Requirements
To be conferred the MBA degree, students must achieve the following:
•
•
•
•
Successful completion of all admission conditions
Successful completion of MBA courses (2.5 or above)
No more than two courses with a grade of 2.5 or below, and with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher at the
completion of the program
Successful completion and submission of the management consulting project (capstone)
Students who successfully complete Augsburg’s MBA program will receive a Master of Business Administration degree.

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

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

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

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

Master of Social Work
You have chosen an exciting way to serve others. The social work profession offers you the rewarding prospect of joining
with others to respond to problems and develop opportunities that benefit individuals, families, groups, and
communities. The MSW degree prepares you for advanced professional practice in the field of social work.
Augsburg’s MSW program prepares you for agency-based practice with individuals, families, groups, and communities,
and with a dedication to system change that reduces oppression and discrimination. Graduates of our program share
how they appreciated the opportunity to learn new ideas as well as learn more about themselves. These graduates
valued our small class size, our cohort structure, and the opportunity to have a mentoring relationship with our faculty
and staff. As a small program, we have high expectations for our students and at the same time offer the flexibility to
help them meet their individual goals.
Attending Augsburg College will transform and develop your professional life in unexpected ways. We have two
concentrations. The first, Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP), will prepare you for direct clinical practice with
individuals, families, and groups. The second, Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP), will prepare you for macro social
work practice with organizations, communities, and other large systems.
We are delighted in your interest in our MSW program and invite you to join us in a lifelong adventure in learning. The
personal and professional growth necessary to become an advanced professional social worker is challenging. We
encourage you to take the challenge with us.
Lois A. Bosch, PhD, LISW
Director, Master of Social Work
MSW Mission
Our mission is to develop social work professionals for advanced practice that promotes social justice and
empowerment towards the well-being of people in a diverse and global society.
Program Overview
The MSW program prepares social work students for agency-based practice in public and nonprofit settings. By working
in the agency setting, social workers collaborate with others to provide holistic, affordable, and accessible services to
individuals, families, groups, and communities. Our challenging MSW curriculum integrates social work theory with
micro and macro practice methods. Students develop skills, knowledge, and values necessary for ethical social work
practice. As you progress through our MSW program, you will:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Learn how individuals live in and are affected by their social environment
Understand how social policies and programs affect individuals, families, communities, and society
Apply theories and methods of practice through the field practicum experience
Use a range of client-centered approaches to practice with client groups of all types and sizes
Engage in practice informed by sound, scholarly research
Evaluate the effectiveness of your social work practice or social work programs
Advocate for the eradication of oppression and discrimination
Be a responsible and contributing citizen in the local and global community
Accreditation
Augsburg’s MSW program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). Your MSW degree must be
accredited by CSWE if you seek licensure with the social work board of your state. For more information on CSWE
accreditation go to www.cswe.org.
Augsburg College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and
Schools. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the About Augsburg College
section of this catalog.
87
Plan of Study
Students entering Augsburg’s MSW program with a bachelor’s degree from a discipline other than social work are
classified as foundation students. Full-time foundation students are enrolled in a two year program. Part-time
foundation students are enrolled in a four year program.
Students entering Augsburg’s MSW program with a bachelor’s degree in social work from a CSWE (Council on Social
Work Education) accredited institution are classified as advanced standing students. Advanced standing students are
enrolled in a 16 month program. The part-time option is not generally available for advanced standing students.
All students must complete the MSW degree in no more than 4 years following matriculation.
Academic Calendar
The MSW program meets on a semester calendar, with classes offered September through June. Classes typically meet
every other weekend with an occasional back-to-back weekend. Field practicum hours are generally completed during
weekday hours. If a student lives outside the Twin Cities metro, the field practicum hours can be completed at a
placement near the student’s place of residence. Hours per week vary depending on the agency placement and the
student’s availability. For academic calendars and schedules, go to www.augsburg.edu/registrar.
Class Periods
Classes meet in 3.5 hour blocks on Friday evenings, 6 to 9:30 pm; Saturday mornings, 8:30 am to 12 pm; and Saturday
afternoons, 1:15 to 4:45 pm. Each class meets for 8 sessions in a given semester and for 4 sessions in a summer term
(May-June), with the expectation that students engage in hybrid learning activities between on-campus class weekends.
Time Commitment
Although classes meet on weekends, students spend time on their studies during non-class weekends and weekdays in
accordance with our hybrid learning format. Hybrid learning is a combination of face-to-face class sessions and
online/experiential learning. On a class weekend, the typical student will spend 12 hours in class within a 23-hour
period. For every hour spent in class, a student may expect to spend 3 to 4 hours outside of class working on online
activities, assignments, readings, or group projects. A student may also spend 15 to 20 hours per week in the field
practicum during the fall and spring semesters (a span of 8 to 9 months for each practicum). In the final year of study,
students complete a summative evaluation or a portfolio, which requires significant independent research, analysis, and
writing.
Some MSW students work full-time while enrolled in the program. However, full-time employment is not
recommended. Most students arrange to reduce their work hours or request time away during their graduate studies.
Each student’s situation is unique and must be decided individually. All students must develop strategies for balancing
family, work, and academic responsibilities.
Credit and Contact Hours
MSW courses range from 2 to 4 semester credits. Depending on the number of credits, students will spend 16 to 32
hours in the classroom per course. Students will also be expected to engage in activities and independent study outside
of class.
Cohort Structure
MSW students are admitted to a particular cohort. Cohorts are distinguished by level of admission (foundation or
advanced standing), rate of attendance (full-time or part-time), and chosen concentration (Multicultural Clinical Practice
[MCCP] or Multicultural Macro Practice [MCMP]). Any changes to a student’s cohort selection must be approved by the
MSW director.
Field Practicum
Foundation students complete 920 hours in two field practica; advanced standing students complete 500 hours in one
field practicum. Successful completion of the first field practicum, required for foundation students, is a minimum of 420
hours. Successful completion of the second field practicum, required for both foundation and advanced standing
88
students, is a minimum of 500 hours. Each practicum experience is spread over two semesters (fall and spring). These
hours are completed concurrent with enrollment in the fieldwork seminars as well as other MSW courses.
MSW Curriculum Components
Foundation Curriculum
In the foundation courses and field practicum, you are introduced to social work as a profession. You will learn both
historical and contemporary theories and practice methods relating to both the individual and the environment. During
the foundation year, you will study human behavior and the social environment, history of social welfare policy,
research methods, assessment frameworks, family and community diversity, and social work values and ethics.
In the foundation curriculum you will apply this generalist knowledge of theories and practice methods in the generalist
field practicum. The field practicum is completed concurrently with your enrollment in two field seminar courses. The
full foundation curriculum is required of all students, with the exception of those admitted with advanced standing.
Before beginning the concentration curriculum, all foundation coursework and field hours must be successfully
completed.
Concentration Curriculum
After completing the foundation requirements, you will enroll in the concentration curriculum that you selected at the
time of application. You will also complete an advanced field practicum. Augsburg offers two concentrations:
Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) or Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP). In either concentration, you will deepen
your knowledge of the primary issues affecting families and communities, develop a range of client-centered approaches
to practice, gain a broader understanding of human diversity, develop competencies in practice-based research, and
learn practice or program evaluation techniques.
In the concentration curriculum, you will apply this advanced knowledge of theories and practice methods in the
concentration field practicum. The field practicum is relevant to your chosen concentration and is completed
concurrently with your enrollment in two field seminar courses. As a capstone to your MSW program, you will complete
a portfolio project or a summative evaluation project.
Multicultural Clinical Practice (MCCP) Concentration
Multiculturalism is a process requiring practitioners to have a deep awareness of their social and cultural identities, as
well as the ability to use multiple lenses when working with diverse populations. With person-in-environment as an
organizing perspective, multicultural clinical social work practice addresses the biopsychosocial and spiritual functioning
of individuals, families, and groups. To this end, graduates of the MCCP concentration develop competence in using
relationship-based, culturally informed, and theoretically grounded interventions with persons facing challenges,

Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) Concentration
In the tradition of Jane Addams, the heart of macro social work practice is directing energy toward changing agency,
government, and institutional policies that obscure or oppress people. While many social workers view their role as
focused on individuals and families, social workers must actively seek equality and justice for clients within agencies,
institutions and society. Social work leaders must advocate for social change where necessary to ensure social justice.
Similar to the MCCP concentration, it is important to address macro level social work practice within the context of
cultural understanding and awareness. The Multicultural Macro Practice concentration (formerly Program Development,
Policy and Administration) responds to this demand for leadership.
The macro social work practitioner recognizes the strengths and abilities of individuals and communities to implement
change. The social work macro practitioner works with these individuals to do so. In the MCMP concentration, you will
learn the knowledge and skills necessary to work with others to achieve needed social change. You will also learn to
develop, lead, guide, and administer programs that serve diverse people in a variety of settings.
Portfolio or Summative Evaluation Project
•
Portfolio Project (MCCP students)
89
The goal of the MCCP Portfolio is to enhance the integration of theory and practice, as well as to offer more
vivid portrayals of a student’s academic and professional experience than traditional assessments. By definition,
portfolios are formative (i.e. designed for guided reflection and self-evaluation). However they are also
summative documents in that they illustrate students’ competencies. All MCCP students are required to create a
portfolio during their final year of study. Items in a portfolio might include videos, process recordings, reflective
statements, writing samples, case analyses, term papers, electronic submissions, policy activities, feedback from
service users, self-evaluations of personal progress, and links to references.
Summative Evaluation Project (MCMP students)
o All social workers must evaluate their practice to determine whether they are helping or harming clients. While
in the concentration practicum, MCMP students will design and implement a program evaluation for their
summative project. This project requires integration and application of knowledge and skills from both the
foundation and concentration curricula. Students develop their research while in their field internship and are
advised by their field seminar professor. Students conduct and present this evaluation/research project during
their final year of study.
o
•
Master’s Thesis
Students in both concentrations have the option of completing a thesis in addition to either the portfolio or summative
evaluation project. Credit for the SWK 699 general elective is given for this option. Students work with a thesis advisor to
develop more in-depth research skills contributing to social work knowledge. To pursue the thesis option, students
should notify the MSW program director by the end of spring semester of the foundation year.
Degree requirements
To be conferred the MSW degree, students must achieve the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Successful completion of any admission conditions (see Admission to MSW)
Successful completion of all required MSW courses
No more than two courses with a grade of 2.5 and with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher

State of Minnesota Social Work Licensure
Six months prior to completion of the MSW degree at Augsburg, students may apply to take the Licensed Graduate
Social Worker (LGSW) license exam from the Minnesota Board of Social Work. To achieve LGSW licensure students must
pass the state board exam and complete the MSW degree.
To seek the Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) license or the Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
(LICSW) license, one must work two years full-time (or 4,000 hours part-time) as an LGSW under the supervision of an
LISW or LICSW. Upon completion of the supervision requirement, one may take the LISW or LICSW state board exam.

offerings that rotate each year:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Parent and Professional Planning
Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Aging
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Social Work Clinical Practice
Spirituality and Social Work Practice
Empowerment of Services Users in Mental Health
Children’s Mental Health
We also offer short-term electives abroad, typically two weeks in length: Exploring Human Services in International
Settings (examples include Mexico, Slovenia, Namibia, South Africa, India, Bolivia, China, and Hong Kong)
Fieldwork and Field Placement
Social work education goes beyond the classroom. Through the field experience, we expect that students will
demonstrate skills to bridge theory and practice. Collaborative efforts between the student, the field agency, and the
MSW program are essential to successful learning. The foundation of the practice includes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Ethical, competent professional practice
Problem solving within a systems framework and strengths perspective
Use of advanced practice theories in Multicultural Clinical Practice or Multicultural Macro Practice settings
Evaluation of the effectiveness of program or practice activities
An understanding of and respect for diverse peoples and cultures
Responsibility and service to the local and global community in the interest of social justice
A commitment to oppose oppression of all forms
Field Education Format
Under the instruction and supervision of professionally-trained, MSW-level, and program-approved field instructors,
foundation students will spend a minimum of 920 hours in two field practica. Advanced standing students will spend a
minimum of 500 hours in one field practicum. Both the foundation and concentration practica are spread over 2
semesters (fall and spring). Both practica are concurrent with enrollment in integrative field seminars, as well as other
MSW coursework.
The fieldwork education of the MSW program is divided into two components:
•
•
Foundation Practicum
o The foundation practicum, or generalist practicum, puts emphasis on developing competence as a professional
generalist social worker. It requires a minimum of 420 hours and is completed by students admitted at the
foundation level. Students spend an average of 15 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters in this
practicum.
Concentration Practicum
o The concentration practicum places emphasis on advanced practice skills and leadership qualities related to the
chosen concentration. It requires a minimum of 500 hours and is completed by all students, including those
admitted with advanced standing. Students spend an average of 18 hours per week during the fall and spring
semesters in this practicum.
Process for Field Practicum Selection
Field practica begin in the fall, but the selection process begins the previous spring in collaboration with two other Twin
Cities MSW programs. Students attend a field orientation before beginning their search. Augsburg College and the
University of Minnesota - School of Social Work jointly host a field fair where students meet a large number of agencies
and potential field instructors. Practicum selection involves interviews at approved sites, arranged by the student, and a
matching process conducted collaboratively by the field coordinators at the three MSW programs in the Twin Cities.
92
In some instances, students can petition to complete a field practicum at an agency not on the approved list or at their
place of employment. Students who wish to do so work with the MSW field coordinator for such proposals.
Field Practicum Settings
The Augsburg field faculty are committed to the success of each student in a stimulating and challenging field practicum.
Our current list of approved clinical and community practice field sites includes agencies in the following areas of
practice:

Dual Degree in Social Work and Theology (MSW/MA, Theology)
Augsburg College’s Department of Social Work (Minneapolis) and Luther Seminary (St. Paul) offer a dual degree: Master
of Social Work and Master of Arts in Theology (MSW/MA). The dual degree has been approved by both institutions and
by the Council on Social Work Education. If you are interested in combining a Master of Social Work with a Master of
Arts in Theology, we recommend you begin the Luther Seminary program first and identify yourself as seeking the dual
degree. For application information to Luther Seminary, visit their website at www.luthersem.edu/admissions/.
Purpose
The dual degree focuses on meeting the educational interests of people planning to serve the spiritual and social needs
of families, individuals, and communities in both rural and urban settings. Both institutions have a commitment to social
and economic justice and to teamwork in the pastoral and human service settings. This joint program is ecumenical in its
admission policies as well as its academic outlook.
Objectives
Three primary objectives have been established:
•
To educate practitioners in social work and ministry who can combine the values, skills, and knowledge of both
theology and social work to serve people in more holistic ways
93
•
•
To generate the partnerships necessary to serve the complex needs of communities and people experiencing
transition in their lives, including the change of government support for those in poverty
To prepare practitioners to seek the strengths of interdisciplinary teams in the human service and pastoral settings.
Enrollment
We recommend that dual degree students enroll in Luther Seminary courses first. Upon completion of this first year of
courses, students then enroll in Augsburg courses for a second and third year (full-time). In the dual degree, Luther
Seminary offers nine courses which can be completed in one year if pursued full-time. The remaining Luther Seminary
course requirements are waived and replaced by the Augsburg MSW curriculum. At Augsburg, dual degree students
complete the entire MSW curriculum with the exception of the SWK 699 general elective.
Course Format and Field Practicum
Luther Seminary courses are offered on a weekday schedule and Augsburg College courses are offered on a weekend
schedule. The field practicum is incorporated into the Augsburg curriculum and will be in a setting reflective of the dual
degree program, such as congregational multidisciplinary teams, nursing home chaplaincy, and social work teams. The
Luther Seminary program and the Augsburg College program are both full-time; it is not feasible for students to do both
programs simultaneously.

Admission to the Dual Degree
It is the responsibility of dual degree students to be aware of application deadlines for both institutions. Applicants must
apply to each program separately. Please note: admission to one institution does not guarantee admission to the other.
To request the catalog and application materials, you must contact each program separately. Financial aid is also a
separate process.
Dual Degree in Social Work and Business Administration (MSW/MBA)
Augsburg College offers a dual MSW/MBA degree in social work and business administration. Students enrolled in the
dual degree program learn to create better managed and financially sound service organizations to serve diverse
communities, both locally and globally.
Purpose
Many social service agencies today require that agency managers combine financial and business expertise with social
work practice and policy formation. The MSW/MBA dual degree prepares graduates to function in a workplace that
demands the delivery of quality services with increasingly limited resources.
Concentration
The MSW/MBA dual degree includes an accelerated third year of study for MSW students who elect the Multicultural
Macro Practice (MCMP) concentration. In this concentration, students learn to effect positive change in social service
systems through their work with communities, organizations, and social policy makers. Prior Augsburg MSW graduates
who have completed the necessary Multicultural Macro Practice (MCMP) coursework are eligible to return to complete
the MBA portion of the dual degree.
Schedule
Years 1 and 2 (September through June)
MSW classes meet on alternating weekends—Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, and Saturday afternoons—and
students engage in hybrid learning activities between class weekends.
94
Year 3 (12–16 months)
MBA classes meet one night per week. The MBA program includes a summer term. See the MBA section for required
courses for the dual degree.

leave of absence typically requires a full year away from the program in order to return to classes in sequence.
96
Prerequisite Courses
All foundation courses are prerequisite to the concentration courses. Students may not enroll in the concentration
courses until successfully completing all foundation courses. In addition there are individual courses that are
prerequisite to other individual courses in the MSW curriculum. These are listed in the MSW Handbook.
Program Costs
In addition to tuition fees, MSW students can expect to a pay a facilities fee and a field program fee. Students can also
expect to purchase textbooks and student liability insurance when in a field placement. There may also be additional
fees associated with short-term electives abroad.
Graduate Scholarship Search Tips
As you may know, graduate students do not have access to many of the financial aid opportunities open to
undergraduates. Because of this, we strongly encourage you to spend time doing your own independent research into
graduate funding available locally, nationally, and internationally.
The simplest way to begin a search for graduate funding is to look online. There are many scholarship search engines
online. The following websites may provide a good starting point for your search:
www.naswfoundation.org

About Augsburg
At Augsburg College, we believe that graduate education should prepare gifted people for positions of leadership in
their communities and places of work. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major
field of study, but also the ability to apply critical thinking, problem solving, and advanced communication skills in a
collaborative approach within that discipline, thereby engaging others with diverse perspectives in the work of
advancing civic and global initiatives critical for a sustainable future.
The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg mission, informed by the liberal and professional arts and sciences,
to serve our neighbors in the heart of the city and out into the world with faith-based, ethical values. We welcome
students from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Also, our programs look to the world through international
courses and cultural exchanges.
Mission Statement
Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to
the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission:
Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible
leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its
life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the
faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by its urban and global settings.
Augsburg Today
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith
presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin,
and moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1872. A Rochester, Minnesota campus was added in 2002. A short history of
Augsburg College can be found at www.augsburg.edu/about/history.
Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of its founders who believed:
Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically
and broadly about the world and the work we do in it.
An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and centers of faith.
The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment.
The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.”
Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg
prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society.

A Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s graduate programs is participation in a community of adult learners. This community
is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of
community interaction, Augsburg encourages students to make use of all College facilities, whether a student in
Minneapolis or Rochester, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and
lecture/speaker events.
Graduate Faculty
The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and
commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching and
service to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of
research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic
faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories.
Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as
academic advisors and participate regularly in campus activities.

be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without notification of the request or disclosure to the
student.
Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider

Payments
Semester Charges
Prior to the start of each semester, a statement of estimated charges showing charges and financial aid credits
designated by the Student Financial Services Office is sent to the student via e-mail. All statements are available online
through Augnet’s Records and Registration site. Payments can be made online at
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/make-a-payment. Augsburg may charge late fees and interest on delinquent
accounts. Review the full policy regarding past due balances online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/disclosure
Payment Options
Augsburg College offers payment plan options for all students. Information about payment plans is available online at
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts.
Financial Aid
All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must establish financial aid eligibility on an annual basis.
This includes completing the application process as outlined below and making satisfactory academic progress. In order
to maintain eligibility in financial aid programs, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the
attainment of their degree or certificate as stipulated in the College catalog.
16
Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of grants and loans. The College cooperates with
federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student is
eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent
family members, other educational expenses, retirement needs, and special considerations.
Types of Aid
A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a specific scholarship or grant
(except as noted).
Institutional Grants/Discounts
Augsburg offers grants/discounts for a variety of different students. Specific information about the different grants and
scholarships, along with eligibility requirements, can be found online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/paymentplans-and-discounts.
Loan Assistance
Graduate students must be enrolled at least half-time in order to receive federal loans. Three semester credits per term
is considered half-time. Six semester credits per term is considered full-time.
Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Student Loan
Interest begins accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower is responsible for all interest. The borrower
may choose to make payments while in school or may defer payments and allow interest to accrue and be
capitalized (added to the balance of the loan).
Federal Graduate Loan Program (PLUS)
Graduate PLUS is a loan program to help graduate students meet college costs. Students may borrow up to the cost
of attendance (minus all other student financial aid).
Further information about loan programs can be found online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
Federal regulations require that all higher education institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether
students [1] receiving financial aid [2] are making satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of a degree.
The purpose of this policy is to make sure that students who receive financial aid are using this money wisely. It is meant
to curtail the use of financial aid by students who fail to successfully complete their course work. Failure to meet the
following standards makes a student ineligible for all institutional, federal, and state financial aid.
Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress
1) Minimum GPA requirements: Graduate Students must maintain a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA based on the entire
academic record.
2) Minimum Credits Completed: Graduate Students must earn a cumulative 67% of the credits attempted based on
the entire academic record. A completed credit has a grade of 4.0 – 2.5 or P. Credits earned and completed will
include accepted cumulative transfer credits as defined by the Registrar’s Office. Unsatisfactory grades “W

(withdrawn),” “I (Incomplete),” “F (Zero),” and “N (Not Passing)” are counted towards the cumulative attempted
credits. Repeat Courses and remedial courses are not counted towards the cumulative attempted credits.
3) Maximum Time Frame: To demonstrate academic progress, graduate students must complete their degree
objective within 150% of the length of the program.
Monitoring and Evaluating Progress
In order to ensure SAP standards are being met, the office of Student Financial Services will evaluate and monitor the
students’ academic achievement at the end of each term. After the student’s record is evaluated and the Student
Financial Services Office determined the student to be unsatisfactory, the student will be placed on Financial Aid
Warning or Financial Aid Probation. Students will be notified through their Augsburg email if they fail to meet SAP
standards.
Financial Aid Warning
In order to ensure SAP standards are being met, the Office of Student Financial Services will evaluate and monitor the
students’ academic achievement at the end of each term. After the student’s record is evaluated and the Student
Financial Services Office determined the student to be unsatisfactory, the student will be placed on Financial Aid
Warning or Financial Aid Suspension. Students will be notified through their Augsburg email if they fail to meet SAP
standards.
Financial Aid Suspension
A student who fails to meet either the minimum GPA requirement and/or minimum credits attempted while on
Financial Aid Warning will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. A student on Financial Aid Suspension is ineligible to
receive any form of financial aid. A student on Financial Aid Suspension may submit an appeal to reinstate their financial
aid. Financial Aid Suspension will conclude when the student meets SAP standards, or successfully appeals.
Financial Aid will be suspended when a student placed on Financial Aid Suspension does not meet SAP standards.
Because grades may not be available before the beginning of the next scheduled term, it is possible that financial aid
may be disbursed to a student before the review can be conducted. In the event that a student is found to be ineligible
for the financial aid that has been disbursed due to a failure to meet one of the Standards, the aid that was disbursed
will be canceled, and returned to the appropriate program(s).
Right to Appeal
Students who have had their financial aid suspended may submit the SAP Appeal Form to the Student Financial Services
Office. The appeal must be submitted within 7 days of notification of unsatisfactory status or by the due date given on
the appeal letter. The SAP Appeal Form must be completely filled out, along with any additional documents required by
the Committee. The appeal should state reasons why the student failed to meet SAP standards, and what changed for
the student that will allow the student to demonstrate progress towards meeting SAP standards. The appeal will be
decided by the SAP Committee. All decisions made by the Committee are final.
If a student’s appeal is approved they will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. If a student’s appeal is denied they will
remain on Financial Aid Suspension and will remain ineligible for financial aid.
Financial Aid Probation
A student who has been placed on Financial Aid Suspension and successfully appeals SAP will be place on Financial Aid
Probation. A student on Financial Aid Probation will be eligible to receive financial aid. Financial Aid Probation will last
for one term. If at the end of the term, the students meets SAP standards, the Financial Aid Probation will conclude.
Students currently on Financial Aid Probation who do not meet the standards at the end of the term will be placed on
Financial Aid Suspension.

Student Account Financial Disclosure
Students at Augsburg College are obligated to pay Term Fees and additional charges when they register for each
academic term. “Term Fees” include tuition, room and board charges and other fees initiated during your time as a
student. Students are responsible to pay for all of these charges regardless of whether financial aid is received or
employers or other third parties pay as agreed. “Term Fees” are subject to refund only to the extent allowed under the
Augsburg College Tuition Refund Policy. Statements and account history are available online through AugNet Records
and Registration.
Augsburg College may require someone to co-sign on the students’ obligations in special cases, such as when a student
has a history of late or missed payments. When a co-signer’s signature is required, both students and co-signers are
responsible for payment of all costs incurred (including collection costs and fees of any collection agency and/or
attorney, if applicable) and all other conditions outlined on the Student Account Financial Disclosure.
Results of Balances Not Paid in Full
Augsburg may charge late fees and interest on delinquent accounts. Missed or late payments will be subject to a late
payment charge and/or a finance charge on the overdue balance from the date the balance was due until payment in
full is received. If your account is not paid in full on the first day of the term, finance charges at the rate of 8% per year
(.67% per month) will be added onto your student account balance. For example, this means that for every $1,000
owed you will receive $6.70 a month in finance charges. A $30 NSF Fee will be added for any payment returned by the
bank for Non-Sufficient Funds.
Past Due Accounts
If the student does not set up a formal payment plan with Augsburg’s Student Financial Services department, Augsburg
reserves the right to demand payment of the entire balance owed by that student and to take steps to collect it.
Augsburg may cancel the student’s registration, prevent the student from registering for future terms, withhold
transcripts or diplomas, remove the student from on-campus housing, turn the student’s account over to a collection
agency or take legal action to collect any past due balance. Each student authorizes Augsburg to release financial
information about her or his account and other pertinent information such as address and phone number to third
parties who are dealing with the collection of the account balance. By providing us with a telephone number for a
cellular phone or other wireless device, you are expressly consenting to receive communications – including but not
limited to prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an automatic telephone dialing
system – from us and our affiliates and agents at that number. This express consent applies to each such telephone
number that you provide to us now or in the future and permits such calls regardless of their purpose. Calls and
messages may incur access fees from your cellular provider. Each student also agrees to reimburse Augsburg College, or
its agents, the fees of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 40% of the debt, and
all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, we incur in such collection efforts. Please note that, due to
the Bankruptcy Reform Act, educational benefits are generally exempt from discharge under bankruptcy. The terms
of this agreement remain in effect until all Term Fees and other charges are paid in full.
Financial Policies
Registration is permitted only if the student’s account for a previous term is paid in full or if the student is making
scheduled payments in accordance with an approved payment plan.
Augsburg College will not release student academic transcripts or graduation diplomas/certificates until all student
account charges are paid in full or, in the case of student loan funds administered by the College (Federal Perkins
Student Loan), are current according to established repayment schedules and the loan entrance and exit interviews have
been completed.
Tuition Refund Policy
Students are eligible for a 100% tuition refund for any courses they drop without notation through the date labeled “Last
day to drop without a ‘W’ grade & 100% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. After this date,
19
students are no longer eligible for any refund of tuition unless they withdraw from all of their courses. This policy is
effective whether or not a student has attended classes.
Students withdrawing from all of a term’s courses may receive a 50% tuition refund when they withdraw by the date
labeled “Last day to withdraw with 50% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar.
Students are responsible for cancelling courses through the Registrar’s Office (or online) in order to be eligible for any
refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for
all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations
are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed.
Medical Refund
If a student is forced to withdraw from one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, a request for a
medical refund should be made through the Academic/Financial Petition. Petition forms are available through the
Registrar’s Office website. An extra medical refund may be granted by the Committee upon submission of
documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances.
Unofficial Withdrawal
Federal regulations require that records of financial aid recipients who earn failing grades in all their classes be
reviewed. If courses are not completed (e.g., unofficial withdrawal, stopped attending), the College is required to refund
financial aid to the appropriate sources according to federal or Augsburg refund policies based on the last recorded date
of attendance. Students are responsible for the entire cost of the term including the portion previously covered by
financial aid should they stop attending. Students are strongly urged to follow guidelines for complete withdrawal from
college. If there are extenuating circumstances, a petition to have the cost of tuition refunded can be made. Petition
forms are available online through the Registrar’s Office website.
A student who registers, does not attend any classes, and does not withdraw may petition to withdraw retroactively.
The student must petition within six months of the end of term and provide proof of non-attendance. Proof can include,
but is not limited to, statements from each instructor that the student never attended, or documentation of attendance
for the term at another college or university. If approved, grades of W will be recorded and tuition charges for the term
will be replaced with an administrative cancellation fee of $300.
Financial Aid Policy
Financial aid such as federal, state, and institutional grants and scholarships are awarded based upon the total number
of registered credits on the “Last day to add with faculty signature – Full Semester class” as noted on the Academic
Calendar. Students must register for internships, Time 2 classes, and ACTC classes before the “Last day to add with
faculty signature-Full Semester class”. Financial aid will not be adjusted for classes added after this date.
Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester by actively attending and participating in classes
throughout the semester. Financial aid is recalculated when students do any of the following: drop classes without a
“W” grade, fail to begin classes, cease to attend classes, fail all classes, or fully withdraw from all classes.
Financial Aid - Return of Aid Policy
Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester. A student can earn their aid by attending classes,
or in the event of hybrid/online courses, be an active participant in the course.
Federal/State Aid Adjustments
Augsburg is required to return unearned federal/state aid for students who fully withdraw from their courses. Student
are eligible to keep more aid the longer they attend their courses. After 60% of the term has passed, students are
eligible to keep all of their federal/state aid. If you are planning to completely withdraw from your courses, please see a
Student Financial Services counselor to determine what aid may need to be returned.
20
Institutional Aid Adjustments
Augsburg will return institutional aid for students who partially withdraw or fully withdraw from courses. If students
withdraw from their courses they will receive a 50% tuition refund and 50% of their institutional aid will be removed. If a
student withdraws after the last day to receive a tuition refund, there will be no adjustment to their institutional aid.
Credit Refund Policy
Augsburg students may be eligible to receive a credit refund if their financial aid exceeds tuition and fee charges for a
term. Credit refunds are issued within two weeks after the last day to drop courses without recorded notation. Financial
Aid needs to be finalized (You can verify your financial aid status online through Track Your Financial Aid) and applied to
a student’s account (Check your Transaction History online to verify all of your financial aid has been applied to your
account and nothing is left pending) before the credit refund can be issued.
Changes in enrollment status, housing status, and program status may affect financial aid eligibility and credit refunds.
Students who are enrolled less than half-time (less than 6.0 credits for undergraduates, less than 3.0 credit for
graduates) may not be eligible for financial aid; however, students may apply for private alternative loans. Registration
changes made from the first week of the term through midterm may require a return of financial aid funds. Students
who drop courses may receive a tuition refund, but some forms of financial aid may have to be adjusted before a refund
will be available. Financial aid return of funds may take up to 30-45 days to be processed.
Bookstore Policy
Students who are registered for the upcoming term will be allowed to charge up to $600 to their student account.
Students DO NOT need to request a bookstore account this year.
Please plan ahead and purchase books and supplies before the scheduled cut off dates; plan ahead for courses that start
midterm as you will be unable to charge anything to your student account after the cut-off date.
Students’ accounts will be billed for only what was spent on their bookstore accounts before credit refunds are issued. If
your bookstore charges create a balance on your account, you need to make payments in accordance with your
statement. Bookstore purchases charged to a student account are intended for students who have excess financial aid
funds to cover their tuition, fees, AND their books or supplies. Please contact Student Financial Services before you
purchase books if you need to discuss payment options.
Due to the financial aid cycle, you can only charge expenses to your bookstore account during specific times.
Third Party
If you are expecting a third party to cover the cost of your books, you will need to turn in an itemized receipt of your
purchases to the Student Financial Services Office, along with your invoice request.
Additional Funds
If the cost of your textbooks and supplies are above $600 in one term, you have enough financial aid to cover the
additional costs, and you would like to charge the additional amount to your student account, please send the following
information to Student Financial Services (studentfinances@augsburg.edu). All requests need to be in writing.
Subject: Request for additional funds
Full Name:
Student ID number:
Additional request:
Students will receive an e-mail when the additional request has been processed. Accounts are opened as quickly as
possible, but it could take up to two business days for activation.

Consumer Information
LOSS OF FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY DUE TO A DRUG OFFENSE
A student, who is convicted of a state or federal offense involving the possession or sale of an illegal drug that occurred
while the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid, is not eligible for Title IV funds. [An illegal drug is a
controlled substance as defined by the Controlled Substance Act and does not include alcohol and tobacco.
A borrower’s eligibility is based on the student’s self-certification on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA). Convictions that are reversed, set aside or removed from the student’s record, or a determination arising from
a juvenile court proceeding do not affect eligibility and do not need to be reported by the student.
A student who is convicted of a drug-related offense that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and
receiving Title IV aid loses Title IV eligibility as follows:
For the possession of illegal drugs:
First offense: one year from the date of conviction.
Second offense: two years from the date of the second conviction.
Third offense: indefinitely from the date of the third conviction.
For the sale of illegal drugs:
First offense: two years from the date of conviction.
Second offense: indefinitely from the date of the second conviction.
A school must provide a student who loses Title IV eligibility due to a drug-related conviction with a timely, separate,
clear, and conspicuous written notice. The notice must advise the student of his or her loss of Title IV eligibility and the
ways in which the student may regain that eligibility.
Regaining Eligibility after a Drug Conviction
A student may regain eligibility at any time by completing an approved drug rehabilitation program and by informing the
school that he or she has done so. A student regains Title IV eligibility on the date he or she successfully completes the
program. A drug rehabilitation program is considered approved for these purposes if it includes at least two
unannounced drug tests and meets one of the following criteria:
The program received or is qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly under a federal, state, or local government
program.
The program is administered or recognized by a federal, state, or local government agency or court.
The program received or is qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a federally or state licensed
insurance company.
The program administered or recognized by a federally or state-licensed hospital, health clinic, or medical doctor.
Policies may change throughout an academic year if necessary to comply with federal, state, or institutional changes or
regulations.

Student Resources/Academic and Support Services
Library and Information Technology Services
The James G. Lindell Family Library opened in 1997. The four-level, 73,000-square-foot facility houses the library and
information technology functions of the College as well as the Gage Center for Student Success. In addition to its large
collection of print volumes, e-books, and e-journals, Lindell Library includes special collections and archives, a curriculum
library, a computer lab and student computing help desk, a library instruction classroom, and facilities for media viewing
and listening. Skyways link the library to Oren Gateway Center and Sverdrup Hall.
Learning Commons
Within Lindell Library, a Learning Commons provides assistance in research and the use of technology as well as spaces
for collaborative learning.
Library Resources
Students can search a wide variety of local, regional, national, and international databases. They have access to 120
databases, 27,000 e-journals, 52,445 e-books, and 177,000 print volumes within Lindell Library and, through a daily
courier service, access to the library holdings of six other private liberal arts colleges in the Twin Cities. In addition,
Lindell Library has a large collection of media resources. A service-oriented staff provides students and faculty with
research assistance and instruction in the use of information resources. Arrangements are made for access by students
with physical limitation and special needs.
Information Technology Resources
Augsburg College has built a reputation as a leader in its commitment to provide students with relevant and timely
access to information technology and training. Visit the Student Technology website, inside.augsburg.edu/techdesk, for
more on Information Technology at Augsburg.
Computing
Students have access to more than 250 on-campus computers. Both PC and Macintosh desktop computers are available
in the Lindell Library Learning Commons and computer lab, and in the 24-hour Urness computer lab. The College has five
computer classrooms, 41 technology-enhanced classrooms and one video conferencing-enabled classroom. The
circulation desk in Lindell Library has 45 wireless laptops available for use in the library.
Several computer clusters are available for more specific student use within academic departments. A high-speed fiber
optic campus network provides access to AugNet online services, printing, and to the internet. Network-ready student
machines can connect to the campus network from residence hall rooms or any building on campus using WiFi. All of the
AugNet online services are available securely on- and off-campus.
Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS)
The Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and academic
support for students with documented learning, attention, psychiatric, and other cognitive disabilities, and for students
with physical disabilities such as TBI, chronic illness, mobility impairments, and vision, hearing, or speech impairments,
and temporary disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain access to the
college curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and challenging, yet
supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds, preparations, and experiences.
Each term, Disability Specialists work directly with students to develop a plan for ensuring they have equal access to
Augsburg courses, programs, activities, and facilities. Typically, meetings are held weekly and discussions may include:
Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g., extended time, note-taking)
Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, student technology assistance, academic advising, counseling,
financial aid)
Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Accommodations Laboratory
23
Coaching on academic, organizational, and time management skills
Campus living accommodations
The Disability Specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisors, and other members of the college faculty,
staff, or administration to support each student as they work toward success. Taking advantage of these
accommodations and services, however, remains the student’s responsibility.
Any Augsburg student who wants to establish eligibility for accommodations and services should schedule a meeting
with a Specialist to discuss their needs, as well as appropriate documentation of their disability. CLASS also provides
informal screenings for students who suspect they may have a learning-related disability. These screenings are meant
only to help students determine whether they should seek a thorough evaluation by a qualified professional.
Academic accommodations are intended to ensure access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities and
may not fundamentally alter the basic nature or essential components of an institution’s courses or programs.
CLASS services are made possible in part through endowment support provided by the Gage family and the Groves
Foundation. For further information, call 612-330-1053.

Academic Programs and Policies
Academic Calendars
All of our graduate programs meet on a semester calendar. Academic Calendars can be found at
www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change without notice.
Academic Policies
The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the
American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges.
Academic Honesty
A college is a community of learners whose relationship relies on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity
and credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg College community. Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a
College requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student
pledging to abide by the College’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity.
(See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide).
Evaluation and Grading
Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0
achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for details of field study and special projects. Students must
achieve a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards
Policy. Grading option cannot be changed from traditional (0.0 - 4.0) to Pass/No Credit.

Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V) on a space-available
basis. Graduate students will be charged an audit fee of $1,000. The written permission of the instructor is required to
register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of
the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the
course will be listed on the transcript with a V grade. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a
grade of W. Audited courses do not count towards graduation.
Withdrawal Grade
A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a W grade
and before the last day to withdraw.
25
Incomplete (I) Grades
An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student
emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of
passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a
student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Registrar’s Office that states the reasons for the
request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The
instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend
the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must
complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade
before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the
specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0.
Extension (X) Grades
Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case,
they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A
grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given
X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being
maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not
longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not
demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned.
Repeated Courses
A course in which a grade of FN, 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in
which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses
taken each term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and
grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point
average. Courses completed at Augsburg College must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat policy.
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade
points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not
computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is:
GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted, i.e., courses with 0.0 to 4.0 grade assigned.
Attendance
Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation
may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students
to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements
to address the needs of particular courses, individual students, or various learning styles.
Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the
professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible,
students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible.
Non-Attendance/Non-Participation
Attendance/participation in class is important for academic success and financial aid. Therefore, students are dropped
for non-attendance/non-participation after the 10th business day of the term if reported by the instructor. Students are
ultimately responsible for dropping classes if they no longer plan to attend/participate. Students who have been
dropped and wish to re-enroll must submit and Academic/Financial Petition.
26
Graduate Continuation Policy
Students registering for the final project course must complete the Final Project Registration/Graduate Continuation
Contract by the last day to add with faculty signature for a Full Semester class as noted on the Academic Calendar. Upon
receipt of the contract, the Registrar’s Office will enroll the student in the Continuation Program for 13 semesters. Entry
into the Continuation Program maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, including library and AugNet
Services.
Students can request an extension of up to 3 semesters beyond the initial 13 semesters to the program director by
completing the Graduate Continuation Extension Contract. Approval of the extension is at the discretion of the program
director. If a grade is not received and an extension has not been granted by the grading deadline of the 13th semester,
the grade will change from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project after receiving a failing grade must
meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students who are readmitted may
need to complete additional coursework and will need to pay tuition and fees for any additional courses. If/when the
final project course is completed, the new grade would replace the previous N grade.
Students may withdraw from the College, and thus from the Continuation Program and the final project course, at any
point during the continuation period and receive a W notation on the transcript for the final project course. Following a
withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and
program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional coursework and will need to pay full tuition
and fees for any additional courses. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would replace the
previous W grade.
Credit and Contact Hours
Augsburg’s credit hour policy follows the federal guidelines in defining a semester credit hour as one fifty-minute period
of instruction and 100 minutes of out-of-class work per week for fifteen weeks, or the equivalent amount of student
work completed over a different time frame or via a different delivery method.
All Augsburg programs follow the semester calendar with semester lengths from 14-16 weeks. Augsburg offers a
summer semester which follows the same format as both fall and spring semester. Students must take at least 3 credits
to be considered half-time, and 6 or more credits to be considered full-time. Students may take up to 22 credits.
Degree Requirements
To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following:
Successful completion of all required courses
A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy.
Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed
continuation agreement with Augsburg College.
Probation and Dismissal
Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the
student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be
restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistant must consult
the PA Program Progression Standards Policy.
A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more
terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out
with the program director.
Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the
College.
27
Dismissal Appeals Process
A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the College’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are
limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate negatively affected the outcome.
The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard copy of the statement of appeal to the Assistant Vice
President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate Studies (AVP-Graduate Studies); email is not acceptable. The
statement must identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The
statement of appeal will be the only basis of the student’s appeal. The AVP-Graduate Studies must receive the student’s
statement of appeal within 14 calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal.
The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the statement of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must
submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within 15 business days of the date that the statement was
received by the AVP-Graduate Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVPGraduate Studies. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the program’s response to the student.
The AVP-Graduate Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the AVP-Graduate
Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty members (one from programs not named in the appeal:
Business, Creative Writing, Education, Leadership, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, Social Work). The Program
Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s statement of
response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures and ask
questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each bring
a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg College faculty member, staff member, or student). The role
of the third party representative is to provide support to the student or the program representative, not to serve as an
advocate during the meeting.
Dropping or Withdrawing
Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or with a Registration Form. To
see the drop and withdrawal deadlines, see the Academic Calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar.
Independent Study
Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty
sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director
in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered
in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special independent study registration form
is required and is available on the Registrar’s Office website.
Term Off
Students may take a term off for up to two semesters and have continued access to Augsburg e-mail and AugNet
Services. If a student is not registered after 10th day of the third semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the
student will need to submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll.
For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of
program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their advisor and obtain the
advice of their director.
Evaluation of Transfer Credit
Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit
will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide appropriate documentation regarding
previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be
considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university institution and graded 3.0/B
or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program
requirements at Augsburg.

Master of Arts in Education
Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and
elsewhere. The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program combines our excellent undergraduate licensure coursework
with a master’s level coursework focused on teacher leadership, preparing teachers to serve K-12 students effectively
and to nurture healthy change within schools and school systems.
Our Philosophy
The Education Department program themes include relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and
leadership. One of these themes - leadership - is lived out within the MAE program. As this program theme suggests, we
expect our students to leave our programs as responsive, knowledgeable teachers prepared to exercise leadership in the
classroom and, eventually, the school and community.
Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through a combination of course content, field
experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students will leave our programs as collaborative and capable
teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world.
Our Faculty
Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors, all of whom
have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all full-time faculty
members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision, volunteer
work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do. We value
good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers.
Our Accessibility
We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and personal
responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of
licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings to allow you to manage these responsibilities while
pursuing your goals. You will need to be available during the weekday for the challenge and responsibility of field
experiences, but education coursework is accessible through the evening schedules*.
As a student in Augsburg’s Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among
interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly-qualified teacher—
the teacher you can become.
*By the end of Spring 2015 our licensure programs will have been fully transitioned from a weekend to an evening
schedule. New students will be in the evening program. For the time being, end of program MAE degree completion
options will remain on the weekend schedule.
Education Department Mission
The mission of the Augsburg Education Department is to develop responsive, knowledgeable teachers committed to
educating all learners in a diverse and changing world.
Program Themes
Responsive, knowledgeable teachers understand the dynamic interaction among relationships, reflection and inquiry,
diversity and equity, and leadership. These four interrelated program themes provide lenses through which we filter our
practice.
Relationships
Learning is relational and communal. Responsive teachers create significant relationships with their students,
colleagues, and community partners by developing learning communities. These nurturing learning communities provide
safe, trustworthy places where challenging and engaging questions can be considered. We model the kinds of learning
communities that we expect our graduates to create. We share with our students a learning model that connects
30
content, theory, and practice in an ongoing cycle. Students and their learning are the focus for responsive teachers.
Therefore we embrace and foster a progressive and constructivist orientation.
Reflection and Inquiry
Responsive teachers are reflective practitioners who are students of teaching and learning. Providing numerous
frameworks through which to filter our experience encourages intentional and thoughtful inquiry. Through field
placements, service learning, generative questions, and classroom experiences, students and faculty develop their
perspectives about teaching and learning. Critical reflection allows us to examine content, theory, and practice in ways
that transform our practice. We think it is important to understand and learn how to manage the many polarities
inherent in the teaching and learning process.
Diversity and Equity
Responsive teachers embrace diversity and intentionally work to ensure that all learners, especially those who for some
reason have been marginalized, learn and develop in powerful ways. We continually reflect on what it means to be a
“school in the city.” We recognize that each student is unique, shaped by culture and experience; therefore,
differentiating instruction is essential. The perspective of multiple intelligences, learning style theory and teaching for
understanding help us differentiate and enable us to provide choice, variety, and flexibility. Responsive teachers believe
that all students can learn. They also have a sense of efficacy and believe that they can help all students learn.
Leadership
Responsive teachers recognize that becoming a learning leader is a developmental process, which begins in pre-service
education and continues throughout one’s career. Teachers serve as leaders within the classroom, and with experience,
increased confidence, and professional development become leaders within the school, the district, and the community.
Teacher leaders view themselves as lifelong learners. They become role models committed to their profession as a
vocation rather than a job. Emerging teacher leaders keep student learning at the center of their work while advocating
for instructional innovation, constructivist curricular development, and systemic change.
Master of Arts in Education Conceptual Framework
Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion program. The
Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their
institutions and communities.
The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the
combined undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as
well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students
are required to include coursework focused on leadership and study aspects of leadership as part of their degree
program. Third, the final project—be it an action research, a leadership application project, or performance assessment
—gives students the opportunity to study an issue of concern and, supported by research, define a means for addressing
it.
Three Teacher Leadership Aspirations inform our program. They are as follows:
Aspiration 1: Teacher leaders value learning for personal and professional growth. Teacher leaders share knowledge
effectively with colleagues. We believe that teacher leaders are comfortable with their knowledge and expertise,
neither flaunting it nor hiding it, but sharing it with others generously. They work to build bridges with a full range of
colleagues, but they don’t let recalcitrant colleagues stop their own development. They see learning as a continuous
endeavor and seek it throughout their careers.
Aspiration 2: Teachers leaders think big—beyond the classroom to the broader context of education and community.
We believe that teacher leaders see systems and the “big picture” and are able to put their classrooms, schools, and
communities into a broader context. They understand the link between policies, politics, and education and participate
in change efforts at the macro and micro levels. They seek to work with administrators to establish school and district
policy that improves life for everyone. If this involves political action, they are prepared to engage in it. Teacher leaders
31
also understand that teaching and learning are dynamic and that change within school systems is an ever-present
phenomenon. They are informed decision-makers predisposed to take on the challenge of change when they think it
benefits students, teachers, and/or community.
Aspiration 3: Teacher leaders possess courage and an orientation to action. We believe that teacher leaders help
others not be afraid. They are able to help people to take warranted risks and step outside their comfort zones. They
have the courage to bring people together to see the bigger picture and then help people get there. Teacher leaders
accept both power and accountability. They understand that responsibility without power diminishes potential for
effectiveness. They believe that accountability is a fair trade for the power to take effective action. They operate from a
foundation of self-efficacy.
Program Overview
The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) is designed to provide a teaching license as part of a master’s degree program. K12 initial teaching licenses offered at Augsburg include:
Elementary education (K-6), with or without a middle school content area endorsement in math, communication
arts, social studies, or science. Subject matter courses for these endorsements may need to be taken in the weekday
schedule or at a community college when unavailable through evening course work.
Secondary education (5-12 and K-12) in social studies, communication arts/literature, visual arts, health,
mathematics, music, and physical education, 9-12 in biology, chemistry, and physics, and 5-8 general science .
Subject matter courses for these licenses may need to be taken in the weekday schedule or at a community college
when unavailable through evening course work. Augsburg requires that at least two content area courses are taken
at Augsburg.
Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE degree through the following four licensure endorsement
options:
K-12 English as a Second Language
K-12 Special Education: Academic Behavior Strategist
All teachers seeking licensure through Augsburg must take and pass all tests required by the state of Minnesota for
licensure. These include tests in basic skills, pedagogy and content area knowledge.
Accreditations and Approvals
Augsburg College Teacher Education programs are accredited and approved by:
National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE)
Minnesota Board of Teaching. (MN BOT)
Augsburg College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and
Schools. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the listing in the
Accreditation, Approvals, and Memberships section of this catalog.
Program Structure
The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program is made up of a core of education licensure courses at the graduate level
coupled with a degree completion option. Courses in the degree completion phase are drawn from the Master of Arts in
Leadership (MAL) and graduate courses in education. Most students in the MAE program pursue a teaching license as
part of their program plan.
The MAE degree is also open to students who do not want a teaching license but do want a background in education
and leadership. See the MAE program director for details.
The MAE degree requires ten or eleven Augsburg graduate level courses, depending on the degree completion option. In
addition, several courses at the undergraduate level are required for licensure. Only courses taken at the graduate level
apply towards the MAE degree.
32
Credit
MAE graduate level courses are offered for 3 semester credits. Each course is comprised of 37.5 instructional hours with
the expectation of about 75 hours of independent study outside of class.
Schedule
The majority of the education courses in the MAE licensure and degree programs are offered through the AU evening
schedule. Courses in this schedule meet face to face every other week with online instruction during the alternate
weeks. A few education courses and many undergraduate content area courses are offered in a face to face, classroom
based format, meeting weekly in the evenings. The MAL and education degree completion courses are offered primarily
in a weekend schedule through a mix of face-to-face and online instruction. Summer session courses are offered
primarily weekday evenings. Summer courses are offered in a mix of formats from all online to all face-to-face.
The following teaching licenses are available almost entirely through the evening and summer schedule: elementary
education, 5-12 social studies, 5-12 communication arts, K-12 art, K-12 special education, and K-12 English as a second
language.
Additional licenses in the following areas are available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, summer
schedules, and, occasional off-campus courses: biology, chemistry, health, mathematics, music, physical education, and
physics. For these licenses, the education and degree completion courses are taken weekday evenings and summer
while some, if not all, of the content area courses are taken during the weekday and/or off-campus.
The weekday evening schedule is comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. In
general, classes are held every other week, face to face with online instruction in the intervening week. The weekday
schedule is also comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. Classes offered during the
weekday meet one to three times per week. Classes offered jointly between weekday and weekend meet on a weekly
basis in the evening. The official academic calendars can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar.
Curriculum—Teaching Licenses
K-6 Elementary Education
This program is designed to prepare teachers for grades K-6. Optional endorsements in middle school specialty areas of
math, science, social studies, and communication arts can be pursued along with or separately from the K-6 license. The
teaching license and some endorsements are offered at both undergraduate and graduate levels through a mix of
undergraduate courses and combined graduate and undergraduate courses. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500
and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and have been admitted to the MAE program.

*Field experience hours are required in these courses. Students spend 20 or more hours per term in field experiences.
These experiences occur in K-6 classrooms during the weekday. If more than one course with field experience is taken in
a given term, field experience requirements expand accordingly (i.e., two courses with 20 hours of field experience each
require a total of 40 hours).
Undergraduate Liberal Arts Requirements
The number of supporting content area courses required for licensure depends upon the courses completed as part of
the bachelor’s degree and/or other coursework. Requirements are determined by Minnesota licensure standards for
specific college-level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary
licensure. Specific requirements are on file in the Education Department.
Minnesota licensure standards allow for optional subject area endorsements in communication arts/literature, social
studies, math, and science. Subject matter courses for these endorsements will be available through a combination of
weekday, evening and off-campus courses. Specific requirements for these endorsements are on file in the Education
Department.
Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or
better was achieved. The Education Department and the content area departments determine the courses that are
accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. Courses that are
older than five years are judged on a case-by-case basis. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is
not automatically accepted into the MAE degree. The program has limits on the amount and type of courses that are
accepted. Grades of B or better are required for transfer consideration. See the MAE program director for approval of
graduate coursework accepted in transfer.
Preprimary Endorsement for Elementary Licensure (Suspended for 2015-16)
This endorsement can be added to a K-6 elementary license. Required courses include the following:
PSY 250 - Child Development (PSY 105 is a prerequisite for this course)
SOC 231 - Family Systems: Cross Cultural Perspectives
or SPE 490/540 - Parent and Professional Planning (Graduate students take SPE 540.)
ECE 345/545 - Foundations of Preprimary Education
ECE 346/546 - Learning Environments for Preprimary-Aged Children
ECE 347/547 - Immersion and Teaching Competence
ECE 488, 489 - Student Teaching: Preprimary
K-12 and 5-12 Secondary Education
K-12 and 5-12 licenses in several content areas are offered through a combination of graduate and undergraduate
coursework. K-12 licenses prepare teachers to teach a content area across elementary, middle school, and high school.
Licenses for grades 5- 12 prepare teachers to teach at the middle and high school levels. Graduate-level licensure
coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet MAE admissions
criteria.
Subject matter courses in the following majors are offered on weekday evenings and summer: English, communications
(for communication arts), art and selected social science courses. Students seeking 5–12 licensure in social studies must
34
complete a broad-based core of courses in the social studies in addition to a social science major. Education courses for
these licenses are also taken during weekday evenings and summer.
The following content area majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry,
physics, health, physical education, music, and mathematics. Students seeking licensure in any of these areas typically
will need to take additional content courses in the weekday schedule and off-campus. Students can obtain a 9-12 license
in physics, chemistry, or biology and have the option of adding the 5–8 general science to the 9-12 license. Students also
can obtain the 5–8 general science license without the 9–12 license. Education courses for these licenses are taken
during weekday evenings.
Licensure Requirements
The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for
licensure; four to seven of them also may be taken at the graduate level and applied toward the master’s degree in
education.

settings is required prior to student teaching. Students spend approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences.
Undergraduate Content Area Requirements
The equivalent of a major in the licensure content area is required for K-12 and 5-12 licenses. Students who have
majored in a field in which we offer licensure must have their previous coursework evaluated by the major department
at Augsburg. Two or more content area courses tied to Minnesota licensure standards are generally required, even with
a completed academic major.
Previous coursework is evaluated by the content area department and accepted if it meets Minnesota licensure
standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. Coursework older than five years is judged on a case-by-case basis.
Specific course requirements for each content area are on file in the Education Department.
Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree program.
See the MAE program director for approval to use graduate level transfer courses in the degree program.
Special Education
Augsburg College offers licensure in K–12 Special Education: Academic Behavioral Strategist (ABS). This program
qualifies students to teach in special education programs and positions working with students with mild to moderate
disabilities in the areas of emotional/behavioral disabilities, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disabilities,
developmental and cognitive disabilities and other health disabilities. This program is built on an inclusive education
model. Under this model, students learn how to work closely with both special and general educators to facilitate
inclusion of special education students into the regular education classroom. Five years after being licensed, teachers
must extend their license in one of the above categories through additional coursework.
35
Also available is the Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort (temporarily suspended for 2015)—this graduate
licensure program in Special Education: EBD/LD is designed and taught from an American Indian perspective. It is offered
in collaboration with the University of Minnesota-Duluth as a hybrid (partly face-to-face and partly online) cohort
program. The licensure courses can be applied towards the MAE degree. See the Education Department and for more
information. The ABS licensure program is offered through weeknight and summer schedules. The Naadamaadiwin

Student Teaching
Students are required to complete student teaching for initial and additional licenses (unless otherwise indicated). In the
MAE program, student teaching is generally completed before finishing the degree. Students can apply for licensure at
this point and finish the degree later. Student teaching for elementary, secondary, and K-12 initial licenses lasts 12-14
weeks, depending on licensure scope. During that time, students work full-time as student teachers and are supervised
by an Augsburg faculty member. Students register for eight to twelve semester credits of student teaching and a two
semester credit edTPA and student teaching seminar. They meet at Augsburg College for student teaching seminars
several times during the term. Most student teaching placements are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area and
Rochester. However, students do have the opportunity to student teach abroad, where students complete a 10-week
student teaching experience in the metro area and then complete another student teaching experience abroad.
Opportunities to teach abroad are available around the world, and it is a wonderful way to build a global perspective in
education. Additional information is available through the Education Department.
Curriculum—Graduate Degree Completion Options
Students take graduate coursework as part of the licensure program. This coursework forms the Master of Arts in
Education licensure core, with between four to seven Augsburg graduate-level licensure courses fulfilling master’s
requirements. Students bringing fewer than seven graduate-level licensure courses or 21 semester credits into the
degree program must complete additional Master of Arts in Leadership (ML) or education graduate courses to reach the
required 30-33 semester credits for the MAE degree.
To finish out the master’s degree, students will need to complete one of the following options.
Action Research Degree Completion Option (Minimum 30 credits)
This degree completion option requires a minimum of three classes totaling at least nine semester credits: a Master of
Arts in Leadership (ML) elective, EDC 592 Action Research 1, and EDC 593 Action Research 2. The action research courses
guide the student through completion of a long-term action research project, typically conducted in the student’s
classroom and focused on a question or concern identified by the student. The research is presented at an action
research symposium and a formal written report of the research is placed in Lindell Library. The coursework for action
research is designed to be completed in two semesters; the project itself is done once the research is presented at an
action research symposium and the paper is accepted for placement in Lindell Library. Additional terms beyond those in
which the courses are completed are available through continuing registration for up to 12 semesters at no further
charge.
Leadership Application Project (LAP) Degree Completion Option (Minimum 30 credits)
This degree completion option requires a minimum of three classes totaling at least nine semester credits: an ML
elective, EDC 514 – Research Methods - Education focus or ML 514 - Evaluating Empirical Research and EDC 585 Leadership Application Project. Students electing this degree completion option do so because they are interested in
developing an educational product that meets an identified need.
The goal for those developing an educational product is to identify an issue or problem related to their practice, and
after researching available literature, develop a solution to the problem or issue. The solution might be developed in
the form of a curriculum, a workshop, a set of informational materials, a website, an article for publication or other
appropriate educational product.
This option is completed with a final oral presentation and placement of the final paper in the Lindell Library.
Additional terms beyond those in which the courses are completed are available through continuing registration for
up to 12 semesters at no further charge.
Performance Assessment/Teacher Leadership Degree Completion Option (Minimum 33 credits)
This degree completion option focuses on the theme of the MAE degree program - teacher leadership - and requires a
minimum of the following four classes:
One ML leadership-focused course
38
EDC 570 - Teacher Leadership
EDC 514 - Research Methods (ML 514 can be substituted if necessary)
EDC 594 - Performance Assessment Project
Students electing this degree completion option do so because they are especially interested in considering leadership
within the context of education and themselves as potential change agents. EDC 594 must be taken as the last course in
this sequence. Students finish their degree through this option with the successful completion of these four classes.
Alternate Settings—MAE in Rochester
In step with Augsburg College’s excellent reputation in the field of education, the Master of Arts in Education program is
also offered in Rochester, MN. Licenses are available in elementary education and special education: ABS. Classes
primarily meet weekday evenings and summer at Bethel Lutheran Church in Rochester.
Elementary education
The K-6 elementary education license allows students to teach in grade K-6. Augsburg College offers this license at the
graduate level to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet admissions requirements. Courses for this
license are available in Rochester.
Special education
The K-12 Academic Behavior Specialist (ABS) program is designed for students currently working with or planning to
work with students with mild to moderate special needs. The program leads to Minnesota teaching licensure in special

Admission to MAE
Admission Requirements
Students admitted into the MAE licensure and degree programs must have:
Bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited four-year institution
Cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher (required for full admission for the graduate licensure option and
degree program). Students with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5-2.99 may be admitted conditionally into the
graduate licensure program. To be admitted to the MAE degree completion program, all students must have a 3.0 or
better Augsburg GPA.
39
Application Checklist
The following items must be sent to the Augsburg Office of Admissions:
Completed application form - www.augsburg.edu/mae
$35 non-refundable application fee
Personal summary outlining your tentative educational objectives and reasons for wanting to attend Augsburg
Official academic transcripts from all previously attended post-secondary institutions (including colleges,
universities, vocational/technical schools, and PSEO institutions) sent directly to the Admissions Office.
Admission as an International Student
International applicants must submit the required application materials listed above. Refer to the additional
requirements outlined in Admission of International Students.
Transfer Policy
Acceptance of previous education coursework completed at institutions other than Augsburg College is limited. Most
courses that have not been completed in the last seven years are considered to be too old to transfer and need to be
completed as part of one’s program at Augsburg. EDC 310/533 - Learning and Development, EDC 220 - Education
Technology, and ESE 3XX - K-12/5-12 Special Methods in Content Area are courses which may have a shorter acceptance
time frame. Additional information on the transfer policy is available through the Education Department.
Credit Evaluation: An official transfer credit evaluation of previous academic work will be completed as part of the
admissions process. Education coursework is evaluated by the Education Department. For secondary licenses, content
area coursework is evaluated by the content area department. This process is initiated as part of the admissions process.
Generally, the requirement for secondary licensure is that two or more classes in the content area must be taken at
Augsburg, even with an undergraduate major in the field. In all cases, previous undergraduate courses must have
received a grade of C or better to be eligible for transfer. Previous graduate coursework must have received a grade of B
or better to be considered.
Acceptance into the MAE Program
Application files are reviewed by the MAE director. Applicants are notified of the admission decision by the Office of
Admissions, usually within one to two weeks after the application file is complete. Applicants whose cumulative
undergraduate GPA is below 2.5 will not be admitted into the MAE program; however, these applicants can be
reconsidered when additional undergraduate coursework raises the cumulative undergraduate GPA to 2.5 or above. An
exception to this occurs when the applicant has completed an advanced degree with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better.
Under these circumstances, the applicant can be considered for full admission into the MAE degree and licensure
programs.
Advising and Registration
Admitted students are able to participate in academic advising and the registration process. Typically, first-term
registration occurs with intake advising. After the first term, students generally are able to register online through
Records and Registration. All students are assigned an Education Department advisor early in the first semester of
courses.
Academic Policies
Application to the Education Department
Once accepted to the College and the MAE program, students may take designated courses in education and content
areas. Prior to beginning the methods courses within a program, students must be admitted to the Education
Department. This admissions process is outlined in the EDC 200/522 - Orientation to Education and in admissions
handbooks, which are available through the Education Department.
40
Academic Achievement
All MAE students are expected to achieve and maintain 3.0 or better GPA in their Augsburg course work. Students
whose cumulative GPA falls between 2.5 and 2.99 at the end of their licensure program are able to complete the license
but are not eligible for the degree. Students with cumulative GPA’s below 2.5 may not student teach and are subject to
academic probation and possible dismissal.
In all cases, a cumulative GPA on the Augsburg graduate transcript must be at 3.0 or better to be admitted to the degree
completion component of the MAE degree. Students who are ready to begin the degree completion component must
file an Intent to Complete form (available through the MAE coordinator) at which point a transcript review is completed
to confirm the 3.0 or better GPA and to determine the completed courses that apply to the degree and the courses that
remain.
Minimum Grade Policy
Students who fail to maintain a cumulative 2.5 GPA in a given term are notified that they must raise their GPA to the
required level. Students who receive below a 2.0 in any undergraduate course or 2.5 in any graduate course required for
licensure are expected to repeat the course as soon as possible and raise the grade to the appropriate level.
Dismissal from Licensure and Degree Program
Students may be dismissed from the licensure program prior to and during student teaching for failure to maintain
appropriate academic and teaching-based performance standards, for gross violation of College policy, and/or for
conduct in violation of professional ethics. Dismissal occurs within the context of established department procedures
described in the Education Department Handbook available through the Education Department. Students have the right
to appeal dismissal from the licensure program on the grounds of procedural error, using the College’s program
dismissal appeals process. Information about the program dismissal appeals process is available in the Augsburg Student
Guide. Students who fail to complete the license may have the option to finish the degree.
Fieldwork Requirements
Fieldwork experiences are tied to several licensure courses. In most cases, these experiences are conducted within a
service-learning framework, providing service to the school and classroom while also providing students’ opportunities
for focused reflection linked back to course objectives. In general, students should plan for a minimum of 20 hours field
experience per term. When multiple courses with field experience are taken in the same term, the requirements expand
accordingly. Students in field experiences are evaluated by their host K-12 teachers on the basis of criteria drawn from
the Minnesota Standards of Effective Practice. Evaluations are kept in the students’ Education Department files and
used in decisions regarding progress through the program and student teaching. A full description of field experience
requirements is available in the Education Department Handbook.
Readmission and Withdrawal
Students in good standing who fail to register for courses for two terms (not including summer) are withdrawn from the
MAE program. To be readmitted to the College and the MAE program, students file a Readmission form through the
Registrar’s Office.
Program Costs
In addition to tuition, students in this program can expect to pay a data maintenance fee upon admission to the
department, as well as liability insurance at the student rate during student teaching and the cost of a background check
for licensure and, possibly, field experience. In addition, optional international travel courses have associated costs
above and beyond the charge for tuition.

Master of Arts in Leadership
MAL Mission
The purpose of the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program is to develop leaders for organizations, the community,
and society. Organizations seek leaders who possess:
An ethically and morally responsible vision
An understanding of how change occurs and how it can be managed
A sensitivity to the complex problems of organizations and an ability to find solutions consistent with their mission
Cultural competence and sensitivity to the needs of a diverse population
The ability to inspire and motivate people to work toward a common goal
The Augsburg leadership development model provides a framework through which the program recruits its students and
develops their skills.
Program Overview
The study of leadership is central to Augsburg College. The College mission statement says, “Augsburg College educates
students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.” The Master of Arts in
Leadership is quintessentially Augsburg. The integrated liberal arts perspective on leadership education is what we think
of as the “Augsburg difference.”
The Master of Arts in Leadership is the core program of Augsburg’s Center for Leadership Studies (CLS). Developed and
launched in 1987, it is Augsburg’s oldest graduate degree and one of the oldest leadership graduate degrees in the
United States. The program responds to the leadership development needs of both for-profit and not-for-profit
organizations. MAL has a deep theoretical base in leadership studies, yet also offers its students practical approaches to
leadership that can be applied in the workplace and society.
Leadership Development Model
The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that:
Inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources
Promotes productivity within and beyond the organization
Works toward progress for the individual and the organization
To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision,
the ability to persuade, and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are abilities and awareness, outlined
in the Leadership Development Model, which serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg’s model of
leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the individual.
Learning Goals and Outcomes
The MAL program is designed to support students in developing the knowledge and skills to:
Explore the nature and practice of leadership in a wide variety of dynamic organizational and community settings
Develop a personal understanding and philosophy of leadership
Aspire to be responsible leaders who are informed citizens, critical thinkers, and thoughtful stewards
Enhance knowledge of self and the capacity to be reflective learners
Analyze and navigate increasingly complex changing environments
Formulate and articulate a shared vision in order to inspire others to achieve desired goals
MAL Courses
Each course encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to
adult learners. Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity.
These techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and
43
understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the
world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative abilities.
Plan of Study
Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule
Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL program is based on the assumption that the
students who enroll are career-oriented, self-disciplined, and well-motivated individuals seeking a balance of classroom
experience, group interaction, and individual study. Courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for
discussion and dialogue.
The program features classes taught by faculty from multiple disciplines and offers two formats to allow students to
choose the option that works best for them. Both formats offer a combination of classroom and online learning styles in
different proportions. The classic classroom format emphasizes face-to-face instruction augmented by online work. The
integrated hybrid format combines online and intensive learning experiences with occasional sessions in a traditional
classroom setting.
Two Convenient Formats: Classic Classroom and Integrated Hybrid Cohort
Overview of Classic Classroom Format
For nearly 30 years, our classic classroom format has featured a flexible choice model that allows students to select
courses that focus on individual goals, interests, and learning style. Students can also determine the pace at which they
move through the program. This format offers numerous electives and allows for individualized studies. Some online
work is incorporated into this format.
Schedule
During fall and spring semesters, classes usually meet every other Saturday morning or afternoon for four hours.
Additional instruction time is provided online. Seven Saturday sessions are included in one semester. Some select classes
meet on Monday evenings. Students can take a combination of Saturday and Monday courses.
A sample class schedule in the classic classroom format:
Period I
Saturday
8:00 am to 12:00 pm
Period II
Saturday
1:00 pm to 5:00 pm
Period III
Weeknights
6:00 pm to 9:45 pm
Note: Each class taken commits a student to Period I, Period II, or Period III, an average of two meetings a month. A few
courses are taught on an immersion model, which features fewer but longer sessions.
The MAL program also offers summer semester courses in seven-week, fourteen-week, or special immersion formats.
Most summer semester courses meet on weeknights from 6:00 pm to 9:45 pm rather than on Saturdays.
Curriculum
Four core courses:
ML 505 - Foundations of Leadership
ML 514 - Evaluating Empirical Research
ML 580 - Colloquium on Contemporary Theories of Leadership
ML 585 - Integrating the Theory and Practice of Responsible Leadership (Capstone Course)
Seven electives, selected from more than 20 offerings*
*Students may petition the program to do a thesis in place of two of the elective courses. Students who do the thesis
are required to develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of leadership or of a leadership-related topic
and register for ML 592 Thesis Consultation I and ML 593 Thesis Consultation II. Students electing to write a thesis are
still required to take ML 585 to complete the program.

Overview of Integrated Hybrid Cohort Format
A combination of online, classroom, and experiential learning
The integrated hybrid model is completed in two years with a combination of intensive face-to-face sessions and online
coursework. Students complete the program with a cohort of peers representing many different perspectives. Students
learn from each other and build relationships that will provide support throughout the program and a valuable network
for the future.
Schedule
After starting with a five-day summer experience, classes meet on a semester schedule September through mid-April
(fall and spring semesters) and mid-May through mid-August (summer semester). Coursework will be online and
supported by three on-campus class sessions per term.

including a capstone course (ML 585).
MBA/MAL Dual Degree
The dual degree program takes advantage of the intellectual benefits of studying business administration and leadership
in a coordinated program. It leverages Augsburg’s long tradition of graduate leadership training via the MA in Leadership
with the robust demand for business education through our MBA program. The dual degree provides students with the
leadership skills needed to run a business and, at the same time, helps them develop the comprehensive outlook they
need to thrive in today’s interconnected world.
A minimum of 18 Augsburg courses completes the MBA/MA in Leadership dual degree, including at least 7 MBA
courses and 7 MA in Leadership courses.
The following dual degree program requirements must be met.
7 courses are required from MBA courses:
MBA 510 – Applied Managerial Economics
MBA 520 – Accounting for Business Managers
MBA 530 – Managerial Finance
MBA 540 – Business and Professional Ethics
MBA 550 – Marketing Management
MBA 570 – Quantitative Decision Making for Managers
MBA 580 – Management Consulting Project
4 core courses are required from MA in Leadership courses with 3 MAL elective courses:

One Additional Elective Course
Elective course may be taken in either MBA or MA in Leadership Program
Admission to the Dual Degree Program
Admission for the dual degree program is handled on a “rolling” basis and requires applicants to hold a bachelor’s
degree from a regionally accredited four-year college or university. Official transcripts from all post-secondary
institutions are required as well as a current résumé and two recommendations. An interview with the program director
is also part of the admissions process.
Although we do accept the GMAT and GRE, we also offer candidates an alternative math and writing profile assessment
entitled the Individual Learning Profile (ILP) which provides a picture of candidate’s math and writing (verbal)
competency detailing strengths and areas of improvement. The profile is not an admissions screening instrument and
will be used as a platform to develop a skills improvement plan for students should they need it.
Earning the dual degree during or after the MBA or MA in Leadership program
Students who are currently enrolled in the MBA or MA in Leadership program or alumni who wish to return to
Augsburg may add the dual degree to their existing degree by completing most of the same requirements listed on the
front of this page. Students may use previously completed application pieces and coursework to help meet these
requirements.
Returning students may complete an abbreviated application form after consultation with the MBA or ML program
director. Upon entering the MBA program, a quantitative online profile assessment must also be taken. This is used as a
platform to enhance skills, if needed.
Students with an MA in Leadership who wish to add the dual degree will take a minimum of 7 required MBA courses.
Students will complete one course in each of the 3 focus areas if they did not complete these courses during their MAL
program. Each student’s program will be slightly different based on their prior course selections.
Students with an MBA will complete 4 required and 3 elective MA in Leadership courses. Students will need to complete
one course in each of the 3 focus areas if they did not complete these courses during their MBA program. Each student’s
program will be slightly different based on their prior course selections.
Students in both programs will meet individually with the program directors to determine whether their completed final
project meets the criteria aligned with the dual degree final project. Directors may ask that the project be modified or
added to or ask the student to complete another project. These decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis.
Certificate in Leadership Studies
The certificate program is an attractive option for people who want to develop their leadership skills without
undertaking a full degree program. A certificate is awarded after completion of three Augsburg MAL courses in
leadership. Students pursuing this option take ML 505 - Foundations of Leadership and two additional electives.
Students should meet with the program director to develop a plan for selecting the appropriate leadership elective
courses.
The normal application process is used for students who wish to pursue the certificate. Certificate programs are not
eligible for federal student aid.

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

Master of Arts in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice
Welcome to graduate nursing education at Augsburg College. Our classes are made up of students representing a
dynamic mix of cultures, spiritual traditions, and life-ways. It is exciting for us to offer experienced nurses transforming
educational opportunities and engaging transcultural encounters that expand career choices and advance nursing
practice.
The increasing diversity of our population today challenges all of us to respond to individual health care needs with
creativity and competence in a variety of emerging care settings. The Master of Arts in Nursing program is designed to
prepare nurses for those evolving contexts of care. Students can choose between two tracks of study: Transcultural
Nursing and Transformational Nursing Leadership. Each track of study emphasizes leadership skills, inter-professional
collaboration and ways to serve persons in a variety of care settings.
The post-master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program builds on the MAN and prepares nurses for innovative
health leadership and advanced nursing practice at local and system-wide levels. Drawing on a transcultural nursing
(TCN) foundation, the DNP-TCN curriculum embraces integrative health care and holistic nursing practice to maximize
health for individuals and communities. Emphasis is on eliminating health inequities through peaceful, just, and
collaborative actions that uphold and improve human potential. Students design their own scholarly paths defined by
their unique gifts, interests, and practice goals. Throughout the DNP-TCN program, there are a range of opportunities for
collaboration across cultures, socio-economic strata and care systems.
The post-BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) to DNP/Family Nurse Practitioner (DNP/FNP) track of study prepares
nurses for advanced nursing leadership and integrative primary care of families across cultures and care settings. Using
transcultural nursing as a foundation, the DNP/FNP curriculum embraces integrative healthcare and holistic nursing
practice. The curriculum emphasizes knowledge, skills and values that foster one’s ability to lead change, while
addressing health needs and concerns of families and communities. Nursing scholarship and advanced autonomous
practice frame the critical exploration of knowledge in transcultural nursing, integrative healthcare practices,
transformational leadership, and health assessment.
Classes in both the DNP and MAN programs are offered on the Augsburg campus and at Bethel Lutheran Church in
Rochester, MN, where our branch campus is located. Some of the DNP-FNP classes are held at Hermitage Farm Center
For Healing, Rochester, MN. Class formats vary: face-to-face, video conferencing or immersions with on-line
components. However, students and faculty are committed to driving from one site to the other at least once during
each semester to be physically present and together. Building relationships is important to us. Program faculty and staff
are available at both sites and eager to assist students.

Master of Arts in Nursing
Mission
Within the context of liberal arts education and guided by the values of the Lutheran Church, the Master of Arts in
Nursing program prepares nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural nursing practice across care settings
with particular emphasis on promoting health equity locally and globally.
Students select from two tracks of study—Transformational Nursing Leadership or Transcultural Nursing. Both tracks
prepare nurse leaders to assume a wide variety of roles and responsibilities throughout the healthcare system and in
emerging care settings in communities.
Curriculum
The MAN curriculum is organized into 33 semester credits –15 semester credits in a Nursing Core, in which all students
enroll, and 18 semester credits in one of the two Tracks of Study. Practica are taken concurrently with most courses and
are integrated throughout the program. Each semester credit of practicum is equal to 45 clock hours of practice.
Students select a track of study when applying to the program, however, this is not essential until after one’s first
semester. Students may study full-time (6-8 semester credits per term) or part-time (4 semester credits per term). Time
to degree completion takes an average 22 months when studying full-time, and 32 months when studying part-time.
Nursing Core Courses (15 semester credits)
The core nursing courses integrate a strong foundation of social justice incorporating multiple ways of knowing with
curricular emphasis on nursing science, art, and theory to guide practice.
NUR 500 - Transcultural Health Care (3 semester credits)
NUR 500P - Practicum: Transcultural Health Care (1 semester credit)
NUR 541 - Politics of Health (3 semester credits)
NUR 541P - Practicum: Politics of Health Care (1 semester credit)
NUR 505 - Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Nursing Practice (3 semester credits)
NUR 505P - Practicum: Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Practice Nursing (1 semester credit)
NUR 520 - Research Methods in Nursing (3 semester credits)
Transformational Nursing Leadership Track (18 semester credits)
The Transformational Nursing Leadership track is designed to develop nurse leaders’ ability to critically analyze,
articulate, and develop effective strategies to cope with high level health care disparities. Curricular emphasis is on interprofessional collaboration across care settings. Participation in nursing leadership practica in traditional and emerging
care settings adds depth and meaning to classroom dialogue. Practica also provide opportunities for students to apply
knowledge and gain experience partnering with diverse care providers, populations, and communities to address health
inequities in creative and relevant ways. Transformational Nursing Leadership track courses include:
NUR 501 - Nursing Leadership in Complex Adaptive Systems (3 semester credits)
NUR 501P - Practicum: Nursing Leadership in Complex Adaptive Systems (1 semester credit)
NUR 521 - Transformational Nursing Leadership (3 semester credits)
NUR 521P - Practicum: Transformational Nursing Leadership (1 semester credit)
NUR 523 - Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (3 semester credits)
NUR 523P - Practicum: Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (2 semester credits)
NUR 525 - Graduate Field Project (3 semester credits)
NUR 525P - Practicum: Graduate Field Project (2 semester credits)
Students graduating from the Transformational Leadership Track of the master’s program are eligible to apply to the
American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for certification as a Nurse Executive, Advanced and to the Transcultural
Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing.
52
Graduate Field Project in Transformational Nursing Leadership
Students will fulfill their Master of Arts in Nursing through a final practice-focused project, which serves as the capstone
of the master’s program. The last two classes in the curriculum–NUR 523 and NUR 525—emphasize the development
and articulation of a final field project focused on transformational leadership. Students present their final projects in
NUR 525.
Transcultural Nursing Across Care Settings Track (18 semester credits)
The Transcultural Nursing track in the Master of Arts in Nursing program is designed to prepare nurses for advanced
practice across care settings in culturally diverse communities. The curriculum is grounded in nursing science, theoryguided practice, and transcultural principles. Emphasis is on reaching out to persons and populations that are
underserved by traditional care systems and who exist outside of the social mainstream. As such, the track provides rich
alternative learning opportunities for graduate students locally and internationally. Transcultural Nursing Across Care
Settings track courses include:
NUR 532 - Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (3 semester credits)
NUR 532P – Practicum: Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (1 semester credits)
NUR 530 - The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Healing (3 semester credits)
NUR 530P – Practicum: The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Healing (1 semester credits)
NUR 523 - Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (3 semester credits)
NUR 523P – Practicum: Theory, Practice and Research Seminar (2 semester credits)
NUR 525 - Graduate Field Project (3 semester credits)
NUR 525P - Graduate Field Project (2 semester credits)
Students graduating from the Transcultural Nursing track of the master’s program are eligible to apply to the
Transcultural Nursing Certification Commission (TCNCC) for advanced certification in Transcultural Nursing and
certification in Holistic Nursing through the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation (AHNCC)
(www.ahncc.org).
Graduate Field Project in Transcultural Nursing
Students will fulfill their Master of Arts in Nursing through a final practice-focused project, which serves as the capstone
of the master’s program. The last two classes in the curriculum—NUR 523 and NUR 525—emphasize the development
and articulation of a final field project focused on transcultural nursing. Students present their final projects in NUR 525.
Practica
Practice experience is emphasized in both tracks in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. Students earn 9 semester
credits of practicum work that is equal to 405 clock hours of practice—45 clock hours per semester credit hour. Some
practica are semi-structured, experiential, and led by faculty and cultural guides familiar with the communities in which
the practica occur. Other practica options are student directed. Students are encouraged to immerse themselves in
practice settings that serve persons underserved or excluded from mainstream health care, as emphasis in the
transcultural track is on cultural diversity and health inequities across healthcare settings. Practica focusing on
experiential learning with a transformational nurse leader provides students with the opportunity to gain a greater
understanding of organizational dynamics and change through a complexity science paradigm.
Augsburg Central Health Commons & the Inner City
A unique opportunity for students to explore advanced nursing roles and new models and forms of practice is provided
by the Augsburg Central Health Commons, and the Health Commons in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. Both Health
Commons are nursing-led drop-in centers dedicated to serving those in need and focused on healthy individuals and
communities. People from diverse backgrounds, who have health experiences grounded in wide ranging cultural
contexts frequent the Health Commons for health support and reassurance. Service and care are based on respect,
relationship, and collaboration that connects health and hope for all participants. Health Commons partners include
Central Lutheran Church in downtown Minneapolis, Fairview Health Services, and the East Africa Health Project.
53
Study Abroad and Away
The Department of Nursing works closely with cultural guides and nurse mentors in various contexts of care in emerging
care settings at home and abroad. The Center for Global Education is a partner with the Department of Nursing in
developing and facilitating study abroad opportunities in Guatemala, Mexico, Namibia, Pine Ridge, SD, and England..
Additional collaborative partners include the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS) in Namibia. A detailed
listing of practica and immersion experiences abroad and away can be found at the nursing website
(www.augsburg.edu/nursing).

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