HISTORY OF WEEKEND COLLEGE In Fall of 1982 Augsburg began Weekend College under the directorship of Dr. Rick Thoni. At that time Weekend College had three majors, 69 students, and offered eight courses in the first term. Today with more than 1,100 students and 12 majors, Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest program of its kind in the state. Faculty in Weekend College are full-time Augsburg professors as well as adjunct professionals from the work world. The Weekend College student body has become involved in student government, and Weekend College students participate in academic and extracurricular activities such as the student newspaper, travel seminars, the Weekend College Student Union and the Weekend College Advisory Network (WECAN). Augsburg Weekend College continues to grow and develop to meet the changing needs of the adult and nontraditional student of today. PURPOSE Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative to adults who desire college experience but who work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts. MISSION OF THE COLLEGE Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, "Education for Service," and to the Mission of the College: To develop future leaders of service to the world by providing high quality educational opportunities which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community. THEADULTAS LEARNER A COMMUNITYOF LEARNERS Augsburg Weekend College is designed to meet the needs and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll in Weekend College will be mature, self-disciplined and well-motivated adult learners who seek a balance of classroom experience and individualized study. Each course is therefore divided into periods of concentrated on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation. Essential to the goals of Augsburg's Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement to become involved in interaction both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of both men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages Weekend College students to make use of college facilities ALTERNATE WEEKENDS such as the library and the To accommodate this format Christensen Center, to take the for learning, classes generally opportunity of having shared meet on alternate weekends meals and coffee breaks, to for three and one half hours on participate in optional luncheither Friday evening, time seminars, and to attend Saturday morning, Saturday other college activities such as afternoon or Sunday aftermusic and dramatic presentanoon.

Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree and all consider their teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are involved in social, professional and a variety of research activities, but see these activities as supporting their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program which introduces them to current thought in many fields but especially in teaching techniques and theories. Augsburg's size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. History Augsburg College was founded in 1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The name Augsburg College and Seminary changed in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with The American Lutheran Church. Location Augsburg's 23-acre campus is in the heart of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, only blocks from downtown Minneapolis and the intersection of Interstate Highways 94 and 35W. Adjacent to the campus are the Riverside Medical Center, the West Bank campus of the University of Minnesota and the Mississippi River parkways. Campus Augsburg's campus consists of 15 major buildings which include student housing towers, the College Center, main academic and administrative halls, the Library, Music Hall and the Foss Center for Worship, Drama and Communication. Accessibility We have made a major effort to become one of the most accessible campuses in the region. Our skyway-tunnel system lets you reach any of 10 major buildings without going outside. In addition to building changes, we have a student-run program to increase awareness and provide extra help for students with disabilities. Church Affiliation Augsburg is a college of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Although a strong plurality of students are Lutheran, 18 percent represent other Protestant denominations and 2 1 percent represent the Roman Catholic Church. Several other affiliations are represented among students and faculty.

Persons seeking additional information on these topics should contact the Vice President for Student Affairs Office. A ugsburg College constructs its curriculum upon the premise that students must be educated as fully human persons - intellectually, spiritually and physically. To act effectively, human beings must have a broad grasp of the world from which they have come as well as the world in which they live. By providing courses in the humanities, natural sciences and social sciences, the liberal arts perspectives introduce students to the breadth and complexity of knowledge and culture. Required courses in religion are designed to acquaint students with the Christian tradition and encourage them to reflect upon the importance and meaning of spirituality in their lives. Recreation courses offer students the opportunity to develop skills for participation in exercise and sporting activities. Students are encouraged to consult frequently with their advisers to ensure that all requirements are met for graduation. A comprehensive explanation for the General Education Curriculum may be found in the Augsburg College general catalog.

A grade point average of 2.0 is required both in overall courses taken and in courses which apply toward the major. Some majors, licensure and certification require higher grades in each course or a higher grade point average. (For example, see Licensure in Education, Nursing, Social Work. See departmental section for details). 3) Residency Seven of the last nine credits must be completed at Augsburg. No less than a total of nine credits are to be taken at Augsburg College. Contact the Registrar if an offical interpretation is needed. 4) Maximums--no more than: Two courses by independent1 directed study Four courses of Internship Eight course credits with a grade of Pass (P) Nontraditional grading (P) also has these limits: two in the major, except Elementary Education and Nursing; one in the minor, if approved by the department chairperson. Students who enter an academic program with a baccaulareate or higher degree should contact the Registrar's Office about specific requirements for a second baccalaureate degree or for the equivalent of a major. The responsibility for meeting all degree requirements rests with the student. Academic advisers, department chairpersons, the Assistant to the Dean for Academic Advising and the Registrar are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. Each student must apply for graduation. Students should apply at the start of their last academic year to confirm remaining graduation requirements. Application forms are available in the Registrar's Office. All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the Registrar's Office prior to the anticipated date of graduation (there may be no incomplete courses or open courses on the academic record). See the separate section on Graduation With Distinction on page 34 to learn about requirements for these honors. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES REGISTRATION Registration consists of two parts: Scheduling (choosing classes) - A student reserves a space in classes for each trimester by completing a schedule form. Scheduling can be done in advance of payment. Payment (confirmation of schedule) - A student who has scheduled courses must then confirm that schedule by paying. Dates and deadlines for scheduling and payment are listed in detail in the Weekend College catalog supplement. SOME IMPORTANT ON POINTS REGISTRATION: A student must be registered for a course in order to receive course credit for it. A student in Weekend College is considered fulltime if they register for two courses per trimester (or 2.5 if receiving a Minnesota State Student Grant). Students are responsible for obtaining registration materials from the Weekend College Office. A student who has not paid or made partial payment prior to the first day of classes is not registered for their course(s). The student may register and confirm the first class weekend, but late fees will apply and their space in the course(s) will not be held. CROSSOVER POLICY It is expected that Weekend College students complete their degree requirements in the Weekend College schedule; however, students may take a course in the day schedule as a crossover. A Weekend College student wishing to attend a day schedule course, or a day student wishing to attend a course in Weekend College, must schedule at the Office of the Registrar. Students taking courses in both the day program and Weekend College program schedules which total three or more courses on any given date will be charged comprehensive day program tuition. A Weekend College student taking one day schedule course and who has fewer than three total courses will be charged the current part-time tuition for day school. Students will also follow these guidelines: Students may cross over for one full courselcredit per term. The course selected must have space availability. Weekend College students may not cross over to attend ACTC (Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities) courses, except when required by the major to do so. Courses cross-listed in the Weekend College schedule and the day schedule are not subject to cross over policy. Contact the Office of the Registrar for more information on the crossover policy. WITHDRAWING FROM COURSES Students may drop (also referred to as canceling or withdrawing) a particular course by completing a CancelIAddlChange of Registration form at the Office of the Registrar before the deadline (published in the Weekend College Catalog Supplement). Dropping a class will result in a "W" for withdrawal on an official academic record. Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this may result in a failing grade on their official academic record. The refund schedule is listed on page 14. Note: A student may withdraw after the refund schedule has expired. WITHDRAWAL FROM COLLEGE Students who do not intend to continue at Augsburg must file a Withdrawal from College form at the Office of the Registrar. This is not necessary if the student is taking a term off; however, Weekend College students who do not attend courses for three consecutive trimesters (excluding summer) are considered inactive and must file an Application for Re-admission form with the Office of the Registrar in order to resume their academic program. Students are responsible for keeping the Office of the Registrar informed of their mailing address. SYLLABUS A syllabus is a course outline written by the instructor which may include a course description and objectives, required text@), course schedule, grading criteria and assignments. A syllabus is especially important in Weekend College because it advises the student of any assignment due the first class weekend. Students are responsible for picking up the course syllabus at the times published in The Weekender, the Weekend College informational publication. EVALUATIONAND C RADI NG Student achievement in courses is measured primarily by final examinations. Shorter tests, written papers, oral reports and other types of evaluation also are used. Most courses are offered with grading options - traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 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 who choose the PIN option are cautioned: In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a "C". P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation with distinction. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. See PIN limitations under Graduation Requirements on page 28. Note: Certain courses are offered on one grading system only (e.g., Lifetime Sports are graded PIN only). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the PIN grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made according to dates published each term. A fee is charged for any changes made after the first five days of classes. NUMBER GRADES Number grades are used with these definitions: 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards 2.0 Meets basic standards for the course 1.0 Performance below basic course standards 0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. An incomplete grade (I) may be given only in the case of extreme emergency. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must receive permission of the instructor; must file a form stating the reasons for the request, the work required to complete the course, the plan and date for completing the work, and comments from the instructor; and must gain the approval of the Registrar. If permission is granted, the necessary work must be completed in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following trimester. If the work is not completed by that date, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0. 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 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 option of not giving an X where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. A course in which a grade of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 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 and grades earned each term remain 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. AUDITINGCOURSES Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). The charge for auditing is listed in the current year's Weekend College Catalog Supplement. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor two weeks prior to 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 as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W (Withdrawn). GRADEPOINTAVERAGE ACADEMIC PROGRESS, PROBATION AND The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades DISMISSAL for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the PIN 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 taken.* * Using traditionally graded course credits only. CLASSIFICATION Students are classified in August and at the end of the Fall Trimester. Sophomores - Seven credits completed. Juniors - 16 credits completed. Seniors - 24 credits completed. The College requires that students maintain the following cumulative grade point averages (GPA): Freshman - A student who has taken fewer than seven credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.6 or higher Sophomore - A student who has taken fewer than 16 credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.7 or higher Junior - A student who has taken fewer than 24 credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.9 or higher Senior - A student who has taken 24 or more credits with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. It should be noted that a minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation with certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA. Students whose academic achievement falls below these guidelines will either be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term, will be continued on probation or, will be dismissed from the College. In addition, a freshman who receives two zero grades or a sophomore who receives three zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee on Student Standing. Evidence of the student's commitment to academic progress is the major consideration in deciding whether or not to dismiss a student. Those on probation who voluntarily withdraw from the College, as well as those who are dismissed, must have special permission to re-enroll. Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches the minimum level stated above. Students placed on probation as freshmen for having earned two zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earned additional zero grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Students placed on probation as sophomores for having earned three zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative GPA reaches 1.9. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he or she may appeal the decision within 10 days to the Committee on Student Standing. DEAN'S LIST The Dean's List is compiled after each trimester, listing students whose grade point average for a trimester is 3.5 or better. Students must be full-time (a minimum two full course credits for a Weekend College student), graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. If permission is given by the student, an announcement is sent to the hometown newspaper of each student on the Dean's List. GRADUATION WITH DISTINCTION Graduation with Distinction is determined as follows: Summa cum laude - 3.8 to 4.0 cumulative GPA Magna cum laude - 3.6 up to but not including 3.8 cumulative GPA Cum laude - 3.3 up to but not including 3.6 cumulative GPA To qualify for graduation with distinction, transfer students must have completed two years (14 traditionally graded credits) of work at Augsburg. ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic program of a liberal arts college. The Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) program at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a baccalaureate degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: 1) it is relevant to course work in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and 2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) This is a series of standardized tests which have been developed by the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. (The regional testing center for this area is the University of Minnesota.) Students who score at or above the 65th percentile on a subject examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Additional information about CLEP tests is available from the Office of the Registrar. Departmental Comprehensive Exams These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: There is a departmental instrument available for the subject area in question. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. The Registrar approves the student's request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a passlno credit basis only, and there is a charge per exam of $485.00 for a full course credit. The Credit Assessment Program (CAP) This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty committee completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty committee is composed of a representative from the Office of the Registrar and two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student's previous learning. Informational meetings and consultation are provided for students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment. This may include a personal meeting with the CAP committee. In completing the evaluation of a student's previous learning, the CAP committee applies the following criteria: There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed andlor systematic study of content material found within liberal arts course work. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. The learning relates well to the student's educational goals. The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least four courses of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is an application deposit to initiate the credit assessment process, and a charge for each semester credit applied to the student's transcript if credit is approved. Transcript credit will be granted on the basis of semester credits, and the total number of credits granted will be divided by four to determine the number of course credits applied to graduation. These credits will be recorded with the course number of CAP 2xx. Application of this credit toward the Liberal Arts Perspective requirements, Upper Division requirements, and academic majors and minors may be subsequently addressed by the departments involved in response to a formal request by the student. Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of eight courses (one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the eight courses of credit for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the three assessment processes available in the APL program: CLEP exams, departmental exams and credit granted through CAP Committee assessment. Lifetime Sports Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program Students in the Weekend College may complete one or both of the two required graduation skills of Lifetime Sports through the APL process. The Lifetime Sports graduation skills are non-academic courses and no credit is earned by their completion; however, fulfillment of two Lifetime Sports is necessary to graduate. There is a fee for each Lifetime Sport completed by APL. Additional information about Lifetime Sport APL is available from the Weekend College Office.

A minor is available in several of these academic areas as well as in Sociology, American Indian Studies and Women's Studies (see page 55 for details). ACCOUNTING - ACC The major in accounting prepares students for professional careers in a wide variety of accounting-related positions. This major has two tracks: General Accounting and Professional Accounting. The General Accounting specialization is adequate for a wide variety of positions. The Professional Accounting track includes two specializations: public accounting and managerial accounting. The public accounting spccialization is recommended for positions with CPA firms. The managerial accounting specialization is recornmended for positions with large or rapidlygrowing companies. Thc two professional specializations rclate to two professional dcsignations: the CPA and the CMA. A CPA (Ccrtificd Public Accountant) focuses on cxtcrnal reporting; a CMA (Ccrtificd Management Accountant) focuscs on internal reporting. The public accounting specialization includes the materials emphasized on the CPA exam; the managerial specialization includes the materials emphasized on the CMA exam. Designations have an experi- ence requirement in addition to passing the national exam. Under the rules of the Minnesota State Board of Accountancy, Accounting majors in the public accounting specialization are qualified to sit for the CPA examination during their last semester.

COMMUNICATION SPC Our quality of life, both personally and professionally, depends in large part upon the quality of our communication. A Communication major at Augsburg is designed to enhance understanding of communication in a variety of contexts and to improve communication skills. Since careers in communication demand a broad educational background, the Department strongly encourages a second major or two minors in fields such as business, economics, English, history, international relations, political science, psychology, religion, social work or sociology. The Augsburg Communication major focuses on competency in both speech and writing, as well as effective use of media. Since the study and practice of communication is grounded in both the humanities and the social sciences, majors are encouraged to include such related subjects as aesthetics, ethics, philosophy, logic, literature, statistics and research methods in their programs. All Communication majors must complete a core group of seven required courses, supplemented by five electives in one of the following concentrations: public relations and advertising, marketing communication, human relations, or supervisory management. Prospective majors should meet with a departmental adviser as early as possible to design an approved major program, preferably by the end of the sophomore year.

NURSING - NUR The Augsburg Nursing Program is designed exclusively for registered nurses who want to increase their opportunities in the health care field. The scope of nursing practice is changing and expanding. Nurses are being called on to function in a variety of settings that differ from those in the past. Today nurses work in hospitals, clinics, corporations, government agencies, schools and community organizations; some are self-employed running their own businesses. All of these nurses provide comprehensive health assessment for individuals from all cultures and socioeconomic levels. From helping parents have safe deliveries of healthy infants to coordinating home care for the dying, nurses assist people through their entire life span. The Baccalaureate degree equips the nurse with a working knowledge of the biological, physical, social, behavioral and nursing sciences. The nursing program at Augsburg College also provides the educational opportunities to increase skills in critical thinking, clinical investigation and decisionmaking that prepare nurses to handle challenging new positions in today's health care field. NUR 3.50 Introduction to Nursing Research Augsburg's nursing program, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Nursing, is accredited by the National League for Nursing.

PSYCHOLOGY - PSY Psychology, with its emphasis on behavioral observation and data, provides a perspective on human activities which is an integral part of liberal education. The goal of the Psychology program is the improved understanding of human behavior by studying how people cope with their environment and interact with each other. Psychologists use a variety of methods to study behavior, including experimentation, observation and clinical case analysis. Faculty members have varied professional specializations such as counseling, physiological psychology, human development, personality, social and organizational psychology, and analysis of public policy. The Psychology program's emphasis on the use of a problem solving approach, the acquisition of information about human development and interaction, and the development of human relations skills can be beneficial in careers in business, education and other social services, the church government, as well as in careers such as research, law and medicine.

RELIGION- REL Augsburg College understands itself as a college of the church and it is persuaded that the Christian faith provides an appropriate perspective from which to undertake its educational task. The biblical faith and tradition of the Christian Church have influenced the whole world and they have affected and continue to influence language, literature, history, values and political structures. The student encounters this religious tradition in studying these and other areas. The study of religion and theology is intended to make such encounters more meaningful through a better knowledge of biblical history and that of the Christian Church, and by a larger acquaintance with theological thought. While it is true that the fundamental orientation of this College is to the Christian faith, it is also true that the field of religion obviously includes more than is represented by the Christian faith. Large segments of the earth's population live by religious concepts and ideas which are different from Christianity. The Department of Religion seeks to introduce students to some of these major religious traditions. Religion Major Eight courses including: REL 11 1 Introduction to Theology REL 221 Biblical Studies Other Requirements Religion 11 1 or 221 is prerequisite to all other courses and is to be taken in either the freshman or sophomore year at Augsburg. Exceptions may be made for junior or senior transfer students, but the basic courses are still highly recommended as preparation for Upper Division courses.

The mission of the College, its academic programs and its metropolitan location attract a wide variety of students, a diversity which is actively encouraged. Whetherfrom a small town, a large city or another country, all students enjoy the sense of community here at Augsburg. The College continues to grow, building on a tradition of excellence in its programs, faculty, students and facilities. We offer quality educational opportunities in the "real world" and have the resources and location to make this possible. I invite you to become part of this tradition of excellence Augsburg is an exciting and challenging place to prepare for your future. I look forward to meeting you on campus. Sincerely, Charles S. Anderson HISTORY OF WEEKEND COLLEGE In fall of 1982 Augsburg began Weekend College under the directorship of Dr. Rick Thoni. At that time Weekend College had three majors, 69 students, and offered eight courses in the first term. Today with more than 1,000 students and 13 majors, Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest program of its kind in the state. Faculty in Weekend College are full-time Augsburg professors as well as adjunct professionals from the work world. The Weekend College student body is involved in student government, and Weekend College students participate in academic and extracurricular activities such as the student newspaper, travel seminars, and the Weekend College Commission. Augsburg Weekend College continues to develop to meet the changing needs of the adult and nontraditional student of today. PURPOSE Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative to adults who desire college experience but who work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts. MISSION OF THE COLLEGE Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, "Education for Service," and to the Mission of the College: To nurture future leaders of sewice in the world by providing high quality educational opportunities which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community. THEADULTAS LEARNER A COMMUNITYOF LEARNERS Augsburg Weekend College is designed to meet the needs and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll in Weekend College will be mature, self-disciplined and well-motivated adult learners who seek a balance of classroom experience and individualized study. Each course is therefore divided into periods of concentrated on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation. To accommodate this format for learning, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three and one-half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon. Each course selected by the student involves commitment to one of these four class periods. Laboratory sections or additional class hours may be scheduled during the week. Weekend College students may take from one to four courses each term. Essential to the goals of Augsburg's Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the student is active in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement for involvement both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of both men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages Weekend College students to make use of college facilities such as the library and the Christensen Center, to take the opportunity of having shared meals and coffee breaks, to participate in optional lunch-time seminars, and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. 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 their teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are involved in social, professional and a variety of research activities, but see these activities as supporting their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program which introduces them to current thought in many fields but especially in teaching techniques and theories. Augsburg's size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. History Augsburg College and Seminary was founded in 1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. In 1963, the name officially became Augsburg College when the Seminary left campus as part of the Lutheran Free Church merger with the American Lutheran Church. Location Augsburg's 23-acre campus is in the heart of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, only blocks from downtown Minneapolis and the intersection of Interstate Highways 94 and 35W. Adjacent to the campus are the Riverside E d u c a t i o n a l P r o g r a m L 4 Medical Center, the West Bank campus of the University of Minnesota and the Mississippi River parkways. Campus Augsburg's campus consists of 15 major buildings which include student housing towers, the College Center, main academic and administrative halls, the Library, Music Hall and the Foss Center for Worship, Drama and Communication. Accessibility We have made a major effort to become one of the most accessible campuses in the region. Our skyway-tunnel system lets you reach any of 10 major buildings without going outside. In addition to building changes, we have a student-run program to increase awareness and provide extra help for students with disabilities. Church Affiliation Augsburg is a college of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Although a strong plurality of students are Lutheran, 20 percent represent other Protestant denominations and 21 percent represent the Roman Catholic Church. Several other affiliations are represented among students and faculty. POLICIES It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sexual or affectional preference, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or status with regard to public assistance or disability, as required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, in its admissions policies, education programs, activities and employment practices. Inquiries regarding compliance may be directed to the coordinators listed on pages 249 of the 1994-1996 Augsburg catalog, or to the Director of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, Bremer Tower, Seventh Place at Minnesota Street, St. Paul, MN 55101. 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. ACCREDITATION AND MEMBERSHIPS Augsburg College is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (Secondary and Elementary). Our programs are approved by the American Chemical Society, the Council on Social Work Education, National Association for Music Therapy, Inc., and the National League for Nursing. Augsburg College is an institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), the Council of Independent Colleges, the American Association of Colleges and Universities, and the American Association of Higher Education. We are a member of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC), Lutheran Education Council in North America and Minnesota Private College Council. Augsburg College is registered with the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board. Registration is not an endorsement of the institution. Registration does not mean that credits earned at the institution can be transferred to other institutions or that the quality of the educational programs would meet the standards of every student, educational institution or employer. A d m i s s i o n s I n f o r m a t i o n â¢ i p : ; 21 ,,, , d m i s s i o n s Application for Admission Complete the application form and return it along'with the $20.00 nonrefundable application fee to the Augsburg Weekend College Admissions Office. Transcripts Have official transcripts from all previously attended postsecondary institutions sent directly to the Augsburg Weekend College Office. Applicants with less than one year of previous transferable college work should also have their official high school transcript sent. The G.E.D. test certificate may be presented instead of the high school transcript. Additional Information If there is personal information that may have affected the applicant's previous academic performance, it may be included with the application or discussed personally with the Admissions Coordinator. Academic recommendations may be required by the Admissions Committee before an admissions decision is made. On occasion, the Admissions Committee may also defer on a candidate's admission until other information has been received. For example, test scores, results of current course work, additional letters of recommendation or writing samples may be requested by the Committee. If any additional credentials are needed, the Admissions Office will inform the candidate. Notification of Admissions Decision Augsburg College uses a "rolling" admissions plan. Students are notified of the admissions decision, usually within two weeks after the application file is complete and has been evaluated by' the Admissions Committee. Admission to a major, as well as admission to the College, is sometimes necessary. Please check with the Admissions Coordinator and major sections in this catalog to see if admission to the major is necessary. .I' I - . - Transfer Credit Augsburg College welcomes students who wish to transfer after completing work at other accredited colleges or universities. College credit is granted for liberal arts courses satisfactorily completed at accredited institutions. The College reserves the right not to grant credit for courses where it considers the work unsatisfactory, to grant provisional credit for work taken at unaccredited institutions and to require that certain courses be taken at Augsburg. Augsburg College limits transfer of credit from twoyear colleges once a student has reached junior status. If all transfer work has been taken at a two-year college, a maximum of 17 Augsburg courses, or 96 quarter credits, will be accepted toward the minimum of 33 Augsburg course credits required for the baccalaureate degree. Transfer Credit Evaluations An evaluation of transfer credit is completed by the Registrar upon admission for each degree-seeking student who is transferring previous college work. This evaluation indicates which of the student's courses have been accepted for transfer credit at Augsburg College, and how many course credits the student has earned in transfer. The Registrar also determines which transfer courses may be used to fulfill general education requirements, and may request that the student provide course descriptions, syllabi or other information to assist in this determination. For an evaluation of transfer courses toward major, minor or licensure requirements, the student should consult the appropriate department chair. Augsburg graduates and students who have not attended Weekend College for more than one academic year (three trimesters) must apply for readmission through the Registrar's Office. Students who have attended any other institution(s) during their absence from Augsburg must have an official transcript sent from each institution to the Registrar's Office. ACADEMIC ADVISING INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS Upon acceptance, each student will see an academic adviser for major and general academic planning.

Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a "C". P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation with distinction. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements on page 28. Note: Certain courses are offered on one grading system only (e.g., Lifetime Sports are graded P/N only). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made according to dates published each term. A fee is charged for any changes made after the published deadline for dropping without record notation. I n f o r m a t i o n . NUMERIC GRADES Numeric grades are used with these definitions: 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards 2.5 2.0 Meets basic standards for the course 1.0 Performance below basic course standards 0.5 0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. An incomplete grade (I) may be given only in the case of extreme emergency. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must receive permission of the instructor, and must file a form with the Registrar's Office stating the reasons for the request, the work required to complete the course, the plan and date for completing the work, and comments from the instructor. The necessary work must be completed in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following trimester. If the work is not completed by that date, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0. Internships, Indepzndent 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 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 option of not giving an X where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. A course in which a grade of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 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 and grades earned each term remain 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. AUDITINGCOURSES Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). The charge for auditing is listed in the current year's Weekend College Catalog Supplement. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor two weeks prior to 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 as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W (Withdrawn). Courses for which transfer credit has been awarded may not be repeated for credit at Augsburg. This includes courses which are substantially similar despite different titles or emphases. GRADEPOINTAVERAGE 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 course credits attempted." * Using traditionally graded course credits only. CLASSIFICATION Student classifications are updated in August and at the end of the Fall Trimester. Sophomores - Seven course credits completed. Juniors - 16 course credits completed. Seniors -24 course credits completed. ACADEMIC PROGRESS, ~ROBAT~O AND N DISMISSAL The College requires that students maintain the following cumulative grade point averages (GPA): Freshman - A student who has taken fewer than seven credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.6 or higher Sophomore - A student who has taken fewer than 16 credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.7 or higher Junior - A student who has taken fewer than 24 credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.9 or higher Senior - A student who has taken 24 or more credits with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. It should be noted that a minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation with certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA. Students whose academic achievement falls below these guidelines will either be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term, will be continued on probation, or will be dismissed from the College. In addition, a freshman who receives two zero grades or a sophomore who receives three zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee on Student Standing. Evidence of the student's commitment to academic progress is the major consideration in deciding whether or not to dismiss a student. Those on probation who voluntarily withdraw from 'the College, as well as those who are dismissed, must have special permission to re-enroll. Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches the minimum level stated above. Students placed on probation as freshmen for having earned two zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earned additional zero grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Students placed on probation as sophomores for having earned three zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative GPA reaches 1.9. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he or she may appeal the decision within 10 days to the Committee on Student Standing. DEAN'S LIST The Dean's List is compiled after each trimester, listing students whose grade point average for a trimester is 3.5 or better. Students must be full-time (a minimum two full course credits for a Weekend College student), graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. If permission is given by the student, an announcement is sent to the hometown newspaper of each student on the Dean's List. ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic program of a liberal arts college. The Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) program at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a baccalaureate degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: 1) it is relevant to course work in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and 2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) This is a series of standardized tests which have been developed by the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. (The regional testing center for this area is the University of Minnesota.) Students who score at or above the 65th percentile on a subject examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Additional information about CLEP tests is available from the Office of the Registrar. Departmental Comprehensive Exams These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: There is a departmental instrument available for the subject area in question. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. The Registrar approves the student's request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a passlno credit basis only, and there is a charge per exam of one-half of tuition for a full course credit. The Portfolio Assessment Program This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student's previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the Office of the Registrar. In completing the evaluation of a student's previous learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria: There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed and/or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts course work. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. The learning relates well to the student's educational goals. The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least four course credits of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is an application deposit to initiate the credit assessment process, and a charge for each semester credit applied to the student's transcript if credit is approved. Transcript credit will be granted on the basis of semester credits, and the total number of credits granted will be divided by four to determine the number of course credits applied to graduation. These credits will be recorded with the course number of APL 2xx. Application of this credit toward the Liberal Arts Perspective requirements, Upper Division requirements, and academic majors and minors may be subsequently addressed by the Associate Academic Dean in response to a formal request by the student. Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of eight course credits (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the eight courses of credit for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of assessment processes available in the APL program: CLEP exams, departmental exams and credit granted through portfolio assessment. Lifetime Sports Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program Students in the Weekend College may complete one or both of the two required graduation skills of Lifetime Sports through the APL process. The Lifetime Sports graduation skills are non-academic courses and no credit is earned by their completion; however, fulfillment of two Lifetime Sports is necessary to graduate. There is a fee for each Lifetime Sport completed by APL. Additional information about Lifetime Sports APL is available from the Weekend College Office. ACCOUNTING - ACC The major in accounting prepares students for professional careers in a wide variety of accounting-related positions. This major has two tracks: General Accounting and Professional Accounting. The General Accounting specialization is adequate for a wide variety of positions. The Professional Accounting track includes two specializations: public accounting and managerial accounting. The public accounting specialization is recommended for positions with CPA firms. The managerial accounting specialization is recommended for positions with large or rapidlygrowing companies. The two professional specializations relate to two professional designations: the CPA and the CMA. A CPA (Certified Public Accountant) focuses on external reporting; a CMA (Certified Management Accountant) focuses on internal reporting. The public accounting specialization includes the materials emphasized on the CPA exam; the managerial specialization includes the materials emphasized on the CMA exam. Designations have an experience requirement in addition to passing the national exam. Under the rules of the Minnesota State Board of Accountancy, Accounting majors in the public accounting specialization are qualified to sit for the CPA examination during their last semester. Accounting Core: 14 courses are required for this major (an exception to the 13-course limitation), including: ECO 112 Principles of Macroeconomics ECO 113 Principles of Microeconomics MIS 175 Principles of Computing for Business or MIS 370 Advanced Computing for Business BUS 242 Principles of Management BUS 252 Principles of Marketing ACC 221 Principles of Accounting I ACC 222 Principles of Accounting I1 MIS 379 Quantitative Methods for Business and Economics BUS 301 Business Law BUS 331 Financial Management A c a d e m i c I ACC 322 Accounting Theory and Practice I ACC 323 Accounting Theory and Practice I1 ACC 324 Managerial Cost Accounting ACC 425 Advanced Accounting (It is recommended that students take the courses in the sequence given above.) Specialization in General Accounting: No additional courses required. Specialization in Public Accounting: Accounting core plus: ART, STUDIO - ART A liberal arts college like Augsburg is an ideal setting for the study of art because it provides a constant possibility for the interaction of ideas, disciplines and attitudes. At Augsburg, art study is further enhanced by associations with a significant number of art galleries and museums in the Twin Cities area. Hundreds of specific careers exist in the general area of art, such as teaching in the public schools and colleges, ceramics, interior design, photography, film and video work, painting, gallery and museum work and design. ACC 326 Tax Accounting Studio Art Major Majors are required to begin their programs with the Studio Arts Foundations: ACC 423 Auditing ART 102 Design Specialization in Managerial Accounting: Accounting core plus: ACC 424 Internal and Operational Audit MIS 375 Management Information Systems in the Organization ART 107 Drawing One course in two dimensional art from: ART 118 Painting I ART 223 Printmaking I ART 225 Communication Design I ART 360 Watercolor Painting One course in three dimensional art from: ART 221 Sculpture I ART 250 Ceramics I Five additional studio arts courses ART 240 Art History Survey And two additional art history courses Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers which may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog. Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Education Department to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION BUS MIS 379 Quantitative Methods for Business and Economics The major in Business Administration prepares students for professional careers in business administration or for graduate studies.

The minor is automatically completed while completing a major in Accounting or Management Information Systems (MIS). COMMUNICATION SPC Our quality of life, both personally and professionally, depends in large part upon the quality of our communication. A Communication major at Augsburg is designed to enhance understanding of communication in a variety of contexts and to improve communication skills. Since careers in communication demand a broad educational background, the Department strongly encourages a second major or two minors in fields such as business, economics, English, history, international relations, political science, psychology, religion, social work or sociology. The Augsburg Communication major focuses on competency in both speech and writing, as well as effective use of media. Since the study and practice of communication is grounded in both the humanities and the social sciences, majors are encouraged to include such related subjects as aesthetics, ethics, philosophy, logic, literature, statistics and research methods in their programs. All Communication majors must complete a core group of seven required courses, supplemented by five electives in one of the following concentrations: public relations and advertising, marketing communication, human relations, or supervisory management. Prospective majors should meet with a departmental adviser as early as possible to design an approved major program, preferably by the end of the sophomore year. Majors in Communication are candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree. Communication Core Seven courses including: SPC 111 Public Speaking SPC 351 Argumentation SPC 352 Persuasion SPC 354 Interpersonal Communication SPC 355 Small Group Communication POL 342 Mass Communication in Society and one of the following: ENG 223 Writing for Business and the Professions ENG 225 Intermediate Expository Writing ENG 226 Introduction to Creative Writing ENG 227 Journalism In addition, five courses must be completed within one of the following concentrations: Public Relations and Advertising Students interested in the Public Relations emphasis are strongly urged to take ENG 227 (Journalism) as part of the major.

ENGLISH - ENC Those who study English believe that an intense concern for words, ideas and images helps people understand who they are and who they can become. Writing helps us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through the study of English we see life's complexity, experience life as some others do, and understand better the world in which we live and work. English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the contemplation of works of art. With psychology and sociology, English is concerned with individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is interested in ideas and the relation between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering order and determinjng structures. With speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and thought at diffe~nt times and in different d m . Students with an English major pursue careers in elementary, secondary and college education, journalism, government, law, the ministry, library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing and other professions and businesses. English Major: Nine courses above ENG 111, including: ENG 225 Intermediate Expository Writing ENG 245 Introduction to Literature One course in European literature: ENG 27 1 European Literature: Homer to Dante or ENG 272 European Literature: From the Renaissance to the Modern Period Two survey courses in British literature from: ENG 331 British Literature: Medieval to Elizabethan ENG 336 British Literature: 17th and 18th Centuries ENG 337 British Literature: the Romantics and the Victorians One Upper Division course in American literature: ENG 350 American Literature to 1920 or ENG 351 American Literature Since 1920 One 400-level course Two additional electives. Majors are encouraged to 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. Note: Transfer students must take at least three of their English courses at Augsburg. English-Language Arts Teaching Major: 1 0 courses, including those listed under the major, and: ENG 345 Introduction to the English Language ENG 399 Internship in Teaching Writing EDS 364 English Methods and one course with a component in non-Western literature (for example, ENG 361 Studies in Modern Fiction). In addition, two A C E courses -Communications Skills in the English Classroom and Teaching Mass Media - are required. Courses in early American literature, Shakespeare, and film are recommended. Some of the required courses, including the internship, are not offered on weekends. Students in this program must work with advisers in the English Department and the Education Department in order to meet the professional requirements within the Education Department as well as requirements in the major. Transfer students with a B.A. in English from another college must take at least two of their English courses at Augsburg (preferably Upper Division). These courses mus't be taken before the Department can recommend a student for student teaching. Students should consult the English Department chair soon after enrolling. Minor: Five courses above ENG 11 1 including ENG 245; an Upper Division literature course; and an additional writing course. The English Placement Test: A writing sample is required of students to determine their placement in an appropriate writing class. Students who do not show competence in composition skills such as stating and supporting a thesis, organizing clearly, and constructing paragraphs and sentences are required to enroll in ENG 1 0 1 Developmental Writing, where they will receive more individual instruction than is possible in ENG 111 Effective Writing. These students must pass ENG 101 Developmental Writing before enrolling in ENG 11 1 Effective Writing. Prerequisites ENG 11 1 Effective Writing is strongly recommended but not a prerequisite for a Lower Division literature course. Prerequisite for an Upper Division literature course is ENG 245 and/or consent of the instructor. MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS (MIS) The major in Management Information Systems prepares students for professional careers in information systems.

NURSING - NUR The Augsburg Nursing Program is designed exclusively for registered nurses who want to increase their opportunities in the health care field. The scope of nursing practice is changing and expanding. Nurses are being called on to function in a variety of settings that differ from those in the past. Today nurses work in hospitals, clinics, corporations, government agencies, schools and community organizations; some are selfemployed, running their own businesses. All of these nurses provide comprehensive health assessment for individuals from all cultures and socioeconomic levels. From helping parents have safe deliveries of healthy infants to coordinating home care for the dying, nurses assist people through their entire life span. The Baccalaureate degree equips the nurse with a working knowledge of the biological, physical, social, behavioral and nursing sciences. The nursing program at Augsburg College also provides the educational opportunities to increase skills in critical thinking, clinical investigation and decisionmaking that prepare nurses to handle challenging new positions in today's health care field. Augsburg's nursing program, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Nursing, is accredited by the National League for Nursing. Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for Public Health Nurse registration in Minnesota. With one additional course, they are eligible to apply for School Nurse certification.

PSYCHOLOGY - PSY Psychology, with its emphasis on behavioral observation and data, provides a perspective on human activities which is an integral part of liberal education. The goal of the Psychology program is the improved understanding of human behavior by studying how people cope with their environment and interact with each other. Psychologists use a variety of methods to study behavior, including experimentation, observation and clinical case analysis. Faculty members have varied professional specializations such as counseling, physiological psychology, human development, personality, social and organizational psychology, and analysis of public policy. The Psychology program's emphasis on the use of a problem solving approach, the acquisition of information about human development and interaction, and the development of human relations skills can be beneficial in careers in business, education and other social services, the church, government, as well as in careers such as research, law and medicine. Some courses may need to be taken on an evening schedule. Psychology Major 10 courses including: PSY 102 Individual in a Social World or PSY 105 Principles of Psychology PSY 230 Research Methods: Design, Procedure and Analysis I PSY 330 Research Methods: Design, Procedure and Analysis I1 PSY 399 Internship PSY 381 Psychology in Historical Perspective or PSY 493 Seminar: Contemporary Issues PSY 354 Perception and Cognition or PSY 355 Brain and Behavior PSY 325 Social Behavior or PSY 359 Psychological Assessment Three additional Upper Division psychology courses.

Not more than two courses from PSY 299,399 and 499 may be counted toward the minor. RELIGION- REL Augsburg College understands itself as a college of the church and it is persuaded that the Christian faith provides an appropriate perspective from which to undertake its educational task. The biblical faith and tradition of the Christian Church have influenced the whole world and they have affected and continue to influence language, literature, history, values and political structures. The student encounters this religious tradition in studying these and other areas. The study of religion and theology is intended to make such encounters more meaningful through a better knowledge of biblical history and that of the Christian Church, and by a broader acquaintance with theological thought. While it is true that the fundamental orientation of this College is to the Christian faith, it is also true that the field of religion obviously includes more than is represented by the Christian faith. Large segments of the earth's population live by religious concepts and ideas which are different from Christianity. The Department of Religion seeks to introduce students to some of these major religious traditions. Religion Major Eight courses including: REL 111 Introduction to Theology REL 221 Biblical Studies REL 356 History of Religions REL 481 Contemporary Theology REL 495 Seminar Three additional Religion courses. Note: Seminar, especially for majors, should be taken in the junior or senior year. Before taking the seminar, each major must have written one formal research paper and placed it on file with the Department Chair. Religion Minor Five courses. Other Requirements Religion 111 or 221 is prerequisite to all other courses and is to be taken in either the freshman or sophomore year at Augsburg. Exceptions may be made for junior or senior transfer students, but the basic courses are still highly recommended as preparation for Upper Division courses. Department approval is necessary before courses taken at other colleges can be accepted for Religion Department and/or general education course credit. All majors must consult with the Department Chair. Completion of this major may require enrollment in one or more courses offered in an evening weekday schedule. A c a d e m i c M a j o r s . SOCIAL WORK - SWK The Social Work major prepares graduates for entrylevel generalist professional practice in the field of human services. The program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education and leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. The program is based on a generalist model of practice, enabling graduates to work with individuals, families, groups, and communities, and to develop and analyze social policy. Courses within the program utilize a student empowerment model for teaching and learning. Augsburg's social work major also provides a strong foundation for graduate studies in a variety of fields. Augsburg also offers a full-time Master of Social Work degree on a weekend schedule.

Bon Voyage! Sincerely yours, William V. Frame President .I[. 1 E d u c a t i o n a l HISTORY OF WEEKEND COLLEGE In fall of 1982 Augsburg began Weekend College under the directorship of Dr. Richard Thoni. At that time Weekend College had three majors, 69 students, and offered eight courses in the first term. ; Today with more than 1,000 students and 14 majors, Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest program of its kind in the state. Faculty in Weekend College are full-time Augsburg professors as well as adjunct professionals from the work world. The Weekend College student body is involved in student government, and Weekend College students participate in academic and extracurricular activities such as the student newspaper, travel seminars, and the Weekend College Commission. Augsburg Weekend College continues to develop to meet the changing needs of the adult and nontraditional student of today. PURPOSE Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative to adults who desire college experience but who work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts. MISSION OF THE COLLEGE Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, "Education for Service," and to the mission of the College: To nurture future leaders in service to the world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community. THEADULTAS LEARNER A COMMUNITYOF LEARNERS Augsburg Weekend College is designed to meet the needs and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll in Weekend College will be mature, self-disciplined, and well-motivated adult learners who seek a balance of classroom experience and individualized study. Each course is therefore divided into periods of concentrated on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation. ALTERNATE WEEKENDS To accommodate this format for learning, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three and one-half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. Each course selected by the student involves commitment to one of these four class periods. Laboratory sections or additional class hours may be scheduled during the week. Weekend College students may take from one to four courses each term. Selected courses are also available on weekday evenings. Essential to the goals of Augsburg's Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the student is active in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement for involvement both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of both men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages Weekend College students to make use of College facilities such as the Lindell Library and the Christensen Center, to take the opportunity of having shared meals and coffee breaks, to participate in optional lunchtime seminars, and to attend other College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. FACULTV 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 their teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but see these activities as supporting their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that introduces them to current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching techniques and theories. Augsburg's size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. History Augsburg College and Seminary was founded in 1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. In 1963 the name officially became Augsburg College when the Seminary left campus as part of the Lutheran Free Church merger with the American Lutheran Church. Location Augsburg's 23-acre campus is in the heart of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, only blocks from downtown Minneapolis and the intersection of Interstate Highways 94 and 35W. Adjacent to the campus are the FairviewUniversity Medical Center, the West Bank campus of the University of Minnesota, and the Mississippi River parkways. Campus Augsburg's campus consists of 16 major buildings, which include student housing towers, Christensen Center, main academic and administrative halls, Lindell Library, Music Hall, and the Foss Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication. Accessibility We have made a major effort to become one of the most accessible campuses in the region. Our skyway-tunnel system lets you reach any of 10 major buildings without going outside. In addition to building changes, we have a dedicated program to provide support for students with disabilities. Church Affiliation Augsburg is a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Although a strong plurality of students are Lutheran, 20 percent represent other Protestant denominations and 21 percent represent the Roman Catholic Church. Several other affiliations are represented among students and faculty.

College credit is granted for liberal arts courses satisfactorily completed at accredited institutions. The College reserves the right not to grant credit for courses where it considers the work unsatisfactory, to grant provisional credit for work taken at unaccredited institutions, and to require that certain courses be taken at Augsburg. Augsburg College limits transfer of credit from twoyear colleges once a student has reached junior status. If all transfer work has been taken at a two-year college, a maximum of 17 Augsburg courses, or 96 quarter credits, will be accepted toward the minimum of 33 Augsburg course credits required for the baccalaureate degree. Transfer Credit Evaluation An evaluation of transfer credit is completed by the registrar upon admission for each degree-seeking student who is transferring previous college work. This evaluation indicates which of the student's courses have been accepted for transfer credit at Augsburg College and how many course credits the student has earned in transfer. The registrar also determines which transfer courses may be used to fulfill general education requirements and may request that the student provide course descriptions, syllabi or other information to assist in this determination. For an evaluation of transfer courses toward major, minor, or licensure requirements, the student should consult the appropriate department chair. ACADEMICADVISING The Academic Advising Center advises all incoming students, provides information about general education requirements, administers and tracks entry level skill assessments, and advises students placed on academic probation.

The Augsburg Refund Schedule is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. All refunds of charges will be applied to the account of the student and all adjustments for aid, loans, fines, deposits, etc, will be made before eligibility for a cash refund of any resulting credit balance is determined. Please allow two weeks for a refund. Note: The refund is a percentage of the full tuition charged, not a percentage of any deposit made toward tuition (e.g., deposits; made under the company reimbursement payment plan). Pro-Rata Refund Policy Applies to new Augsburg students who withdraw from all courses during their first term at Augsburg and receive Federal Title IV financial aid. (Federal Title IV financial aid includes the Pell Grant, SEO Grant, Perkins Loan, Stafford Loan, and PLUS Loan.) Tuition, fees, and room costs will be calculated based on the pro-rated portion of the term completed. The student may be eligible for a pro-rata refund up to the 60 percent point in time of the term.

Federal Refund Policy Applies to returning Augsburg students who withdraw from all courses for the current term and receive Federal Title IV financial aid. (Federal Title IV financial aid includes the Pell Grant, SEO Grant, Perkins Loan, Stafford Loan, and PLUS Loan.) Augsburg College is required by federal regulations to complete two refund calculations for students who have completed at least one full term at Augsburg and receive Title IV funds.

Requests for this additional refund must be made to the Petition Committee and must be accompanied by a written report from the attending health professional stating the inability for, or inadvisability of, continued study. Students charged on a singlecourse fee basis who have completed payment of assessed tuition may choose between this partial tuition refund and a tuition-free course retake credit. A retake credit may be used only to repeat the same course from which the student withdrew. This choice between refund and tuition-free retake credit must be made at the time of the request to the Petition Committee, and the choice of monetary refund or retake credit may not be changed subsequently. Students should be aware that their choice of refund or retake credit may adversely affect their financial aid eligibility and that they bear full responsibility for the effects of their choices. Retake credits must be used within one academic year or the next time the course is offered if that is longer than one year.

Cooperative education students are encouraged to complete at least one internship for credit in conjunction with their cooperative education participation. Cooperative education is available to Augsburg students who have completed their freshman year and are in good academic standing.

Students have the right to inspect certain official records, files, and data that pertain to them, which are maintained in the Office of the Registrar and the Placement Office, and to challenge inaccurate or misleading information. Persons seeking additional information on these topics should contact the associate dean for student affairs. C RADUATION REQUIREMENTS The following are the requirements for a baccalaureate degree: 1) Fulfillment of entry level skill requirements in these areas: Math Placement, Critical Thinking, and Writing (ENG 111 Effective Writing or equivalent) 2) Completion of a major ' 3) Completion of courses that fulfill the following Liberal Arts Perspective requirements: Human Identity (one course) Aesthetics (one course) Social World (two courses from different departments) Western Heritage (two courses from different departments) Intercultural Awareness (one culture course and two courses in a modern language) Natural World (two courses from different departments, except a two-course sequence) Christian Faith (three courses, or as adjusted for advanced transfer status) The City (one course or community service/ internship experience) A single course may fulfill one perspective only. Only one course from a department may be used to fulfill a single category, except Christian Faith, language, and a year long science sequence for Natural World. No more than three courses from any one department may fulfill perspectives. 4) Completion of courses that fulfill the following Graduation Skills: Writing (two courses, one within the major) Critical thinking (one course) Speaking (one course) Quantitative reasoning (one course) These courses must be completed with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P. ?ate: A course may satisfy both a major or minor requirement, a perspective, and a graduation skill requirement. 5) Demonstration of proficiency in two Lifetime Sports 6) Achievement of a Math Placement Group score of 3 (College algebra level ) The following requirements also must be met to graduate: 1) Completion of 33 course credits 1 1 of these must be upper division (numbered 300 and above); no more than 13 courses may be in any one department with the exception of accounting and social work. 2) Maintenance of a minimum grade point average A minimum GPA of 2.0 for most majors is necessary to graduate. A grade point average of 2.0 is required both in overall courses taken and in courses that apply toward the major. Some majors, licensure, and certification require higher grades in each course or a higher grade point average. (For example, see Licensure in Education, Nursing, Social Work.) See departmental section for details. 3) Residency Seven of the last nine course credits must be completed at Augsburg. No less than a total of nine course credits are to be taken at Augsburg College. Contact the registrar if an official interpretation is needed. 4 ) Muximums-no more than: Two course credits by independentldirected study Four course credits of Internship Eight course credits with a grade of Pass (P) Nontraditional grading (P) also has these limits: two in the major, except elementary education (two in the major plus student teaching) and nursing (no P/N grading is permitted); one in the minor, if approved by the department chairperson. Students who have completed a four-year degree at an accredited college or university may complete a second degree at Augsburg College. Depending on the student's previous degree, completion of a second major (non-degree) may also be an option. Second degree requirements include: a minimum of eight course credits taken at Augsburg, completion of a major, and completion of any liberal arts requirements not covered by the previous degree. The responsibility for meeting all degree requirements rests with the student. Academic advisers, department chairpersons, the Advising Center, and the registrar are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. Each student must apply for graduation. Students should apply at the start of their last academic year to confirm remaining graduation requirements. Application forms are available in the Registrar's Office. All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the Registrar's Office prior to the anticipated date of graduation (there may be no incomplete courses or open courses on the academic record). A c a d e m i c (or 2.5 if receiving a Minnesota State Student Grant). Registration consists of two parts: Scheduling (choosing classes)-A student reserves a space in classes for each trimester by completing a schedule form. Scheduling can be done in advance of payment. Payment (confirmation of schedule)-A student who has scheduled courses must then confirm that schedule by paying. Dates and deadlines for scheduling and payment are listed in the Weekend College Catalog Supplement. SOMEIMPORTANT POINTSON REGISTRATION: A student must be registered for a course in order to receive course credit for it. A student in Weekend College is considered fulltime if he or she registers for two courses per trimester Students are responsible for obtaining registration materials from the Weekend College Office. A student who has not paid or made partial payment prior to the first day of classes is not registered for their course(s). The student may register and confirm the first class weekend, but late fees will apply and their space in the course(s) will not be held. CROSSOVER POLICY It is expected that Weekend College students complete their degree requirements in the Weekend College schedule; however, students may take a course in the day schedule as a crossover. A Weekend College student wishing to attend a day schedule course, or a day student wishing to attend a course in Weekend College, must schedule at the Office of the Registrar. Students taking courses in both the day program and Weekend College program schedules that total three or more courses on any given date will be charged comprehensive day program tuition. A Weekend College student taking one day schedule course and who has fewer than three total courses will be charged the current part-time tuition for day school. Students will also follow these guidelines: Students may cross over for one full course credit per term. The course selected must have space available. Weekend College students may not cross over to attend ACTC (Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities) courses, except when required by the major to do so. Courses cross-listed in the Weekend College schedule and the day schedule are not subject to cross over policy. Contact the Office of the Registrar for more information on the crossover policy. WITHDRAWING FROM COURSES Students may drop (also referred to as canceling or withdrawing) a particular course by completing a CancelIAddChange of Registration form at the Office of the Registrar before the deadline (published in the Weekend College Catalog Supplement). Dropping a class will result in a W for withdrawal on an official academic record. Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this may result in a failing grade on their official academic record. The refund schedule is listed on page 14. Note: A student may withdraw after the refund schedule has expired. WITHDRAWAL FROM COLLEGE Students who do not intend to continue at Augsburg must file a Withdrawal from College form at the Office of the Registrar. This is not necessary if the student is taking a term off; however, Weekend College students who do not attend courses for three consecutive trimesters (excluding summer) are considered inactive and must file an Application for Re-admission form with the Office of the Registrar in order to resume their academic program. Students are responsible for keeping the Office of the Registrar informed of their mailing address. SYLLABUS A syllabus is a course outline written by the instructor that may include a course description and objectives, required text@), course schedule, grading criteria, and assignments. A syllabus is especially important in Weekend College because it advises the student of any assignment due the first class weekend. Students are responsible for picking up the course syllabus at the times published in The Weekender, the Weekend College informational publication. EVALUATION AND C RADING Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation. Most courses are offered with grading options-traditional grading on a 4.0 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 who choose the P/N option are cautioned: In order to receive a grade of P a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a C. P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation with distinction. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements on page 29. Note: Certain courses are offered on one grading system only (e.g., Lifetime Sports are graded P/N only). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made according to dates published each term. A fee is charged for any changes made after the published deadline for dropping without record notation. I n f o r m a t i o n . NUMERIC GRADES Numeric grades are used with these definitions: 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards 2.5 2.0 Meets basic standards for the course 1.0 Performance below basic course standards 0.5 0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. An incomplete grade (I) may be given only in the case of extreme emergency. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must receive permission of the instructor and must file a form with the Registrar's Office stating the reasons for the request, the work required to complete the course, the plan and date for completing the work, and comments from the instructor. The necessary work must be completed in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following trimester. If the work is not completed by that date, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0. 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 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 option of not giving an X where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. REPEATING COURSES A course in which a grade of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 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 and grades earned each term remain 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. AUDITINGCOURSES Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). The charge for auditing is listed in the current year's Weekend College Catalog Supplement. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor two weeks prior to 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 as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W (Withdrawn). Courses for which transfer credit has been awarded may not be repeated for credit at Augsburg. This includes courses that are substantially similar despite different titles or emphases. GRADEPOINTAVERAGE 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 course credits attempted.* * Using traditionally graded course credits only. CLASSIFICATION Student classifications are updated in August and at the end of the fall trimester. Sophomores-Seven credits completed. course Juniors - 16 course credits completed. Seniors-24 course credits completed. ACADEMIC PROGRESS, ~ROBAT~O AND N DISMISSAL The College requires that students maintain the following cumulative grade point averages (GPA): Freshman-A student who has taken fewer than seven credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.6 or higher Sophomore-A student who has taken fewer than 16 credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.7 or higher Junior-A student who has taken fewer than 24 credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.9 or higher Senior-A student who has taken 24 or more credits with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. It should be noted that a minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation with certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA. Students whose academic achievement falls below these guidelines will either be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term, will be continued on probation, or will be dismissed from the College. In addition, a freshman who receives two zero grades or a sophomore who receives three zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee on Student Standing. Evidence of the student's commitment to academic progress is the major consideration in deciding whether or not to dismiss a student. Those on probation who voluntarily withdraw from the College, as well as those who are dismissed, must have special permission to re-enroll. Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches the minimum level stated above. Students placed on probation as freshmen for having earned two zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earned additional zero grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Students placed on probation as sophomores, juniors, and seniors for having earned three zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative GPA reaches 1.9. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he or she may appeal the decision within 10 days to the Committee on Student Standing. A c a d e m i c I DEAN'S LIST The Dean's List is compiled after each trimester, listing students whose grade point average for a trimester is 3.5 or better. Students must be full-time (a minimum two full course credits for a Weekend College student), graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. If permission is given by the student, an announcement is sent to the hometown newspaper of each student on the Dean's List. ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic program of a liberal arts college. The Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) program at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a baccalaureate degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to course work in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) This is a series of standardized tests which have been developed by the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. (The regional testing center for this area is the University of Minnesota.) Students who score at or above the 65th percentile on a subject examination may . . receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Additional information about CLEP tests is available from the Office of the Registrar. Departmental Comprehensive Exams These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: There is a departmental instrument available for the subject area in question. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. The registrar approves the student's request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a passlno credit basis only, and there is a charge per exam of one-half of tuition for a full course credit. The Portfolio Assessment Program This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from . fields of study directly related to the student's previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the Office of the Registrar. In completing the evaluation of a student's previous learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria: There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed and/or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts course work. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. The learning relates well to the student's educational goals. The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least four course credits of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is an application deposit to initiate the credit assessment process and a charge for each semester credit applied to the student's transcript if credit is approved. Transcript credit will be granted on the basis of semester credits, and the total number of credits granted will be divided by four to determine the number of course credits applied to graduation. These credits will be recorded with the course number of APL 2xx. Application of this credit toward the Liberal Arts Perspective requirements, upper division requirements, and academic majors and minors may be subsequently addressed by the associate academic dean in response to a formal request by the student. Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be I . . placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of eight course credits (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the eight courses of credit for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of assessment processes available in the APL program: CLEP exams, departmental exams, and credit granted through portfolio assessment. Lifetime SportsAssessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program Students in the Weekend College may complete one of the two required graduation skills of Lifetime Sports through the APL process. The Lifetime Sports graduation skills are non-academic courses and no credit is earned by their completion; however, fulfillment of two Lifetime Sports is necessary to graduate. There is a fee for each Lifetime Sport completed by APL. Additional information about Lifetime Sports APL is available from the Weekend College Office. A c a d e m i c M a j o r s . I ACCOUNTING-ACC The major in accounting prepares students for professional careers in a wide variety of accounting-related positions. This major has two tracks: General Accounting and Professional Accounting. The General Accounting specialization is adequate for a wide variety of positions. The Professional Accounting track includes two specializations: public accounting and managerial accounting. The public accounting specialization is recommended for positions with CPA firms. The managerial accounting specialization is recommended for positions with large or rapidlygrowing companies. The two professional specializations relate to two professional designations: the CPA and the CMA. A CPA (Certified Public Accountant) focuses on external reporting; a CMA (Certified Management Accountant) focuses on internal reporting. The public accounting specialization includes the materials emphasized on the CPA exam; the managerial specialization includes the materials emphasized on the CMA exam. Designations have an experience requirement in addition to passing the national exam. Under the rules of the Minnesota State Board of Accountancy, accounting majors in the public accounting specialization are qualified to sit for the CPA examination during their last semester. Accounting Core: 14 courses are required for this major (an exception to the 13-course limitation): (It is recommended that students take the courses in the sequence given below.)

At Augsburg, art study is further enhanced by associations with a significant number of art galleries and museums in the Twin Cities area. Hundreds of specific careers exist in the general area of art, such as teaching in the public schools and colleges, ceramics, interior design, photography, film and video work, painting, gallery and museum work, and design. ART 223 Printmaking I ART 225 Communication Design I ART 360 Watercolor Painting One course in three dimensional art from: ART 221 Sculpture I ART 250 Ceramics I Five additional studio arts courses ART 240 Art History Survey And two additional art history courses Studio Art Major Majors are required to begin their programs with the Studio Arts Foundations: ART 102 Design ART 107 Drawing One course in two dimensional art from: ART 118 Painting I Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog. Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Education Department to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements.

The minor is automatically completed while completing a major in accounting or management information systems (MIS). COMMUNICATIONSPC Our quality of life, both personally and professionally, depends in large part upon the quality of our communication. A communication major at Augsburg is designed to enhance understanding of communication in a variety of contexts and to improve communication skills. Since careers in communication demand a broad educational background, the department strongly encour- ages a second major or two minors in fields such as business, economics, English, history, international relations, political science, psychology, religion, social work, sociology, or theatre arts. SPC 351 Argumentation The Augsburg communication major focuses on competency in both speech and writing as well as effective use of media. Since the study and practice of communication is grounded in both the humanities and the social sciences, majors are encouraged to include such related subjects as aesthetics, ethics; philosophy, logic, literature, statistics, and research methods in their programs. SPC 355 Small Group Communication All communication majors must complete a core group of seven required courses, supplemented by five electives in one of the following concentrations: public relations and advertising, marketing communication, human relations, or supervisory management. Prospective majors should meet with a departmental adviser as early as possible to design an approved major program, preferably by the end of the sophomore year. Majors in communication are candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree. Communication Core Six courses including: SPC 111 Public Speaking SPC 352 Persuasion SPC 354 Interpersonal Communication and at least one course from the following: ENG 223 Writing for Business and the Professions ENG 225 Intermediate Expository Writing ENG 226 Introduction to Creative Writing ENG 227 Journalism In addition, six courses must be completed within one of the following concentrations: Public Relations and Advertising Students interested in the Public Relations emphasis are strongly urged to take ENG 227 (Journalism) as part of the major.

Licensure in EnglishLanguage Arts Students preparing to teach English-Language Arts on the high school level must complete, in addition to the professional requirements to be met within the Department of Education, a competency program designed to provide a foundation in English. Specific requirements for the English-language arts licensure program are outlined under the English major in this catalog and are subject to change per the Department of Education. Those who study English believe that an intense concern for words, ideas, and images helps people understand who they are and who they can become. Writing helps us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through the study of English we see life's complexity, experience life as some others do, and understand better the world in which we live and work. English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the contemplation of works of art. With psychology and sociology, English is concerned with individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is interested in ideas and the relation between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering order and determining structures. With speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and indifferent cultures. ENG 336 British Literature: 17th and 18th Centuries Students with an English major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism, government, law, the ministry, library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions and businesses.

Majors are encouraged to 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. Note: Transfer students must take at least three of their English courses at Augsburg. English-Language Arts Teaching Major: 10 courses, including those listed under the major, and: ENG 345 Introduction to the English Language ENG 399 Internship in Teaching Writing EDS 364 English Methods and one course with a component in non-Western literature (for example, ENG 361 Studies in Modern Fiction). In addition, two ACTC courses-Communications Skills in the English Classroom and Teaching Mass Media-are required. Courses in early American literature, Shakespeare, and film are recommended. Some of the required courses, including the internship, are not offered on weekends. Students in this program must work with advisers in the English Department and the Education Department in order to meet the professional requirements within the Education Department as well as requirements in the major. Transfer students with a B.A. in English from another college must take at least two of their English courses at Augsburg (preferably upper division courses). These courses must be taken before the department can recommend a student for student teaching. Students should consult the English Department chair soon after enrolling. Prerequisites ENG 111 Effective Writing is strongly recommended but not a prerequisite for a lower division literature course. Prerequisite for an upper division literature course is ENG 245 or consent of the instructor. Minor: Five courses above ENG 111 including ENG 245; an upper division literature course; and an additional writing course. History is to society what memory is to an individual; it brings to a civilization an understanding of its identity. The distinguished medievalist J.R. Strayer expressed it this way: "No community can survive and no institution can function without constant reference to past experience. We are ruled by precedents fully as much as by laws, which is to say that we are ruled by the collective memory of the past. It is the memory of common experiences which makes scattered individuals into a community." The English Placement Test: A writing sample is required of students to determine their placement in an appropriate writing class. Students who do not show competence in composition skills such as stating and supporting a thesis, organizing clearly, and constructing paragraphs and sentences are required to enroll in ENG 101 Developmental Writing, where they will receive more individual instruction than is possible in ENG 11I Effective Writing. These students must pass ENG 101 Developmental Writing before enrolling in ENG 111 Effective Writing. HISTORY-HIS The study of history enables us to deal more knowledgeably with continuity and change in society. The construction of an informed sense of our past is a fundamental ingredient in appreciating and understanding the present as well as anticipating the future. History majors are prepared to be active and contributing members of their society. The study of history, which has long held a major role in the liberal arts, is an entry to elementary and secondary education, graduate study in several fields, and a wide range of employment opportunities that require abilities in communication, conceptualhtion, and processing of information. Degree and Major Requirements Major Eight courses plus one seminar. At least four of these courses must be upper division. A major must have at least one course (either survey or upper level) from each of the four areas: ancient and medieval, modern Europe, U.S., and non-Western.

NURSING-NUR The Augsburg nursing program is designed exclusively for registered nurses who want to increase their opportunities in the health care field. The scope of nursing practice is changing and expanding. Nurses are being called on to function in a variety of settings that differ from those in the past. Today nurses work in hospitals, clinics, corporations, government agencies, schools, and community organizations; some are selfemployed, running their own businesses. Nurses provide health care for individuals from all cultures and socioeconomic levels throughout their life span. The bachelor's degree equips nurses with a working knowledge of the biological, physical, social, behavioral, and nursing sciences. The nursing program at Augsburg also provides the educational opportunities to increase skills in critical thinking, clinical investigation and decision-making that prepare nurses to handle challenging new positions in today's health care field. Augsburg's nursing program, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in nursing, is accredited by the National League for Nursing. Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for Public Health Nurse registration in Minnesota. With two additional courses, they are eligible to apply for School Nurse certification.

A c a d e m i c 1 PSYCHOLOGY-PSY Psychology is an exploration of behavior and mental processes. As an integral part of a liberal arts education, psychology contributes to the understanding of individual and group behavior. Psychology's scientific method also equips students to understand and use scientific research and to make more informed judgments about claims in the popular media. To prepare students for graduate study and work in psychology, the major emphasizes the complementary components of a strong foundation in research and theoretical work with application of knowledge and skills in coursework, research experience, and internships within the community. The curriculum's emphasis on problem-solving skills and current information about human development and interaction is also relevant to careers in many related settings-business, education, social services, research, law, government, church, and medicine. Faculty members in the Department of Psychology have varied professional specializations-clinical, counseling, physiological, developmental, social, cognitive, environmental, and industriallorganizational psychology-as well as expertise in psychological applications to health, law, and public policy. Students may tap this expertise through a variety of learning experiences-within and outside the classroom, with group and individual projects, and through association with Augsburg's active Psychology Club, Psi Chi Honor Society, and faculty-student research teams. Psychology Major 10 courses including: PSY 102 Individual in a Social World or PSY 105 Principles of Psychology PSY 200 Psychological Science Laboratory PSY 230 Research Methods: Design, Procedure, and Analysis I PSY 330 Research Methods: Design, Procedure, and Analysis I1 PSY 399 Internship And at least one course from the following: PSY 354 Perception and Cognition PSY 355 Biopsychology PSY 359 Assessment And at least one course from the following: PSY 491 Advanced Research Seminar PSY 493 Seminar: Contemporary issues And at least three additional psychology courses.

Not more than two courses from PSY 299,399, and 499 may be counted toward the minor. RELIGION-REL Religion asks fundamental questions of life and meaning. Who are we as human beings? Where did we come from? Where did the world come from? What do good and evil mean in this time and place? Students will wrestle with these questions and with responses from the Christian traditions and from the perspectives of the other major world religions. Through this study of religion, students will learn to understand, appreciate, and articulate the Christian faith, as based in the Bible, as lived in the Christian fellowship, as embodied in the Christian Church and its history, and as interactive in the contemporary world and with other world religions. Students will also develop the ability to read and interpret the Bible, other religious texts, and various expressions and practices of faith so that their meaning for human life in relation to God becomes evident. In addition students will develop skills for becoming leaders in the religious communities to which they belong and for living as responsible citizens with others whose religious views and practices differ from their own. A religion major encourages students to seek their future in the world and/or church through a sense of vocation, serving as pastors, associates in ministry, nurses, and youth and family ministry lay professionals in congregations, and as social service and human resource professionals in a wide variety of settings. Religion Major Eight courses including: REL 111 Introduction to Theology REL 221 Biblical Studies REL 356 History of Religions REL 481 Contemporary Theology REL 495 Seminar Three additional religion courses, two of which must be upper division courses.

(Before taking the seminar, each major must have written one formal research paper and placed it on file with the department chair.) Department approval is necessary before courses taken at other colleges can be accepted for Religion Department course credit. All majors must consult with the department chair. Completion of this major may require enrollment in one or more courses offered in an evening weekday schedule. Religion Minor Five religion courses. Note: Not all courses that meet the Christian faith perspective are religion courses. Only Religion Department courses count toward the religion major and minor. SOCIAL WORK-SWK The Social Work major prepares graduates for entrylevel generalist professional practice in the field of social work. The program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education and leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. The program is based on a generalist model of practice, enabling graduates to work with individuals, families, groups, and communities, and to develop and analyze social policy. Courses within the program utilize a student empowerment model for teaching and learning. Augsburg's social work major also provides a strong foundation for graduate studies in a variety of fields.

"'r 1 he most important key to developing a collective will to overcome many of our commonplace problems is leadership. Certainly leadership is characterized by more than knowing. It is also more than acting. It is ultimately defined in coalescing others to act when they otherwise might not have.

It is a program that at the outset promotes the imp rtance of teaching. It is also a program that values the role educators can play as leaders within their places of work. People who become part of this Master of Arts program will have opportunities to: • Examine what "leadership" is and who leads; • Explore who they are as leaders, both within an educational setting and outside of it; • Gain specific knowledge of education and leadership that can support their development; and • Develop skills that can increase the effectiveness of their leadership. This program values the role that good educators play in the lives of students and operates from the belief that educators need to exercise leadership within the workplace without relinquishing the role of teacher. Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule The Master of Arts in L adership pr gram is designed to meet the needs and preferences ol working adults. The pr gram is bas don the assum,ption that the men and women who enroll are employed, self-disciplined and well-motivated individuals who seek a balance of classroom experience, group interaction and individual study. Each course is, therefore, divided into period of tudy, group effort and clas pr paration. To accommodate this format for learning, each cla s meet on alternate Saturdays for thr e-and- ne-half hours and alternate Thursday evenings for one-and-one-half hours. Leadership Development Model Th Ma ter of Art in Education-L adership program promotes leadership as a pl'oce which 1) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limit d resource , 2) pr motes productivity within and beyond the organizati n, and 3) works toward progress. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess thre k y attributes: a sen e of vision, the ability to persuade and the ability to direct action. Underlying thes attributes is a broad range of abilities and awarenesse . Thes abilitie and awarenesses, outlined in the diagram on page 7, serve as specific outcomes for the Leadership Development Model Leadership Sense of Vision Orientation Toward Action / Ethical + Social awareness + Environmental awareness + Tolerance of religious and philosophical differences + Appreciation of situational complexity /1 Facility for Persuasion / Communicative Creative + Long-term perspective + Flexibility + Adaptability + Innovativeness + Effective listener • Effective speaker + Effective writer + Diplomatic ability + Effective team member + Interpersonal sensitivity I Risk Assumptive + Curiosity + Achievement motivation + Self-esteem Decisive + Self-confidence + Analytical ability + Ability to think critically + Understanding of research + Ability to manage conflict ""' Culturally Aware + Appreciation for cultural differences • World-view perspective • Tolerance of individual differences Master of Arts in Education-Leadership. Augsburg's model of leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance and refine these capabilities within the individual. Community of Learners Essential to the goals of the Master of Arts in Education-Leadership is participation in a community of learners. Learning can be enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement for active participation both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of men and women who bring to the program a variety of work and life experiences. . ... To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages graduate students to make use of college facilities such as the library, meeting rooms and the Christensen Center; to take the opportunity to share meals and coffee breaks; to participate in optional lunchtime seminars; and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Leadership Practicum Master of Arts in Education-Leadership students enroll in a half course called "Leadership Practicum." Students are required to enroll in this professional assessment and development course for six terms during their graduate work at Augsburg. Upon completion of the entire practicum, students receive a half-course credit. Early in the program a major component of this practicum is a full day professional assessment to determine students' abilities and potential relative to each of the outcomes of the Leadership Development Model (see page 3). Assessment instruments include paper and pencil exercises and simulation and group experiences. Following the assessment, students meet individually with a trained assessor who provides guidance in personal goal setting and in the creation of a professional development plan focused on dimensions of leadership. In subsequent terms "Leadership Practicum" includes workshops designed to meet the needs of students in the following areas: communication skills, self-assessment measures, group processes, and other professional development topics identified by graduate students and staff. These workshops are developed by students enrolled in the course "Creativity and Problem Framing. " The Assessment and Leadership Practicum also asks students to focus on leadership opportunity within their workplace, or in an appropriate volunteer setting. Students will develop a learning agreement which outlines the scope of their project and what they hope to accomplish and learn through that project. Students will be supported throughout this project by peer and faculty coaching sessions which meet as an ongoing part of the Assessment and Leadership Practicum. B urriculum Design The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership program is composed of 12 courses. Each course uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners including case study, debate, written and oral seminar presentations and small group activity. These courses develop targeted leadership abilities and understandings as a boundary crossing endeavor in need of the leadership skills and visions of people from all levels of an organization.

Certainly leadership is characterized by more than knowing. It is also more than acting. It is ultimately defined in coalescing others to act when they otherwise might not have. Leadership, including teacher leadership, is ultimately proven in the efforts of others to attempt to scale heights of human achievement and plunge depths of human caring not otherwise envisioned." -Ken Howey Augsburg College 731 21st A venue South Minneapolis, MN 55454 612/330-1786 Table of Contents Introduction to the Master of Arts in Education-Leadership ... 4 Leadership Development Model ................................................. 5 Curriculum Design ....................................................................... 7 Course Descriptions ..................................................................... 9 Graduate Faculty ........................................................................ 11 Library ......................................................................................... 11 Accreditation and Affiliations ................................................... 11 Student Support Services ........................................................... 12 Student Rights ............................................................................. 12 Admission Requirements ........................................................... 13 Application Procedures .............................................................. 13 Evaluation Standards ................................................................. 14 Academic Policies ....................................................................... 15 Fee and Payment Information ................................................... 16 Financial Aid ............................................................................... 17 Campus Map ............................................................................... 20 Campus Location ........................................................................ 21 About Augsburg ......................................................................... 22 Faculty and Administration ....................................................... 23 Introduction to the Master of Arts in EducationLeadership Developing Leaders for Education The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership is a program for educators who value and enjoy their direct contact with students and want to retain that focus in their careers. It is a program that at the outset promotes the importance of teaching. It is also a program that values the roles educators can play as leaders in their places of work. People who become part of this Master of Arts program will have opportunities to: • Examine what '1eadership" is and who leads; • Explore who they are as leaders, both within an educational setting and outside of it; • Gain specific knowledge of education and leadership that can support their development; and • Develop skills that can increase the effectiveness of their leadership. This program values the role that good educators play in the lives of students and operates from the belief that educators need to exercise leadership within the workplace without relinquishing the role of teacher. Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership program is designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults. TI1e program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll are employed, self-disciplined and wellmotivated individuals who seek a balance of classroom experience, group interaction and individual study. Each course is, therefore, divided into periods of study, group efforts and class preparation. To accommodate this format for learning, each class meets on alternate Saturdays for three-and-one-half hours and alternate Thursday evenings for one-and-one-half hours. Leadership Development Model The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership program promotes leadership as a process which 1) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes productivity within and beyond the educational organization, and 3) works toward progress within the educational community. 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. Th ese abilities and awarenesses, outlined in the diagram on page 5, Leadership Development Model Leadership Sense of Vision Orientation Toward Action ~ / Ethical + Long-term perspective + Flexibility • Adaptability • Innovativeness I Risk Assumptive + Curiosity + Achievement motivation • Self-esteem / Cofflmunicative Creative + Social awareness + Environmental awareness + Tolerance of religious and philosophical differences + Appreciation of situational complexity Facility for Persuasion Effective listener Effective speaker Effective writer Diplomatic ability + Effective team member + Interpersonal sensitivity + + + + \ Decisive + Self-confidence • Analytical ability + Ability to think critically • Understanding of research • Ability to manage conflict ""' Culturally Aware + Appreciation for cultural differences • World-view perspective + Tolerance of individual differences serve as specific outcomes for the Master of Arts in EducationLeadership. Augsburg's model of leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance and refine these capabilities within the individual. Community of Learners Essential to the goals of the Master of Arts in EducationLeadership is participation in a community of learners. Leaming can be enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement for active participation both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of men and women who bring to the program a variety of life and work experiences. -. ' ~· .. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages graduate students to make use of college facilities such as the library, meeting rooms and the Christensen Center; to take the opportunity to share meals and coffee breaks; to participate in optional lunchtime seminars; and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Leadership Practicum Master of Arts in Education-Leadership students enroll in a half course called "Leadership Practicum." Students are required to enroll in this professional assessment and development course for six terms during their graduate work at Augsburg. Upon completion of the entire practicum sequence, students receive a half-course credit. Early in the program, a major component of the practicum is a full day assessment to determine students' abilities and potential relative to each of the outcomes of the Leadership Development Model. Assessment instruments include paper and p_encil exercises and simulation and group experiences. Following the assessment, students meet individually with a trained assessor who provides guidance in personal goal setting and in the creation of a professional development plan focused on dimensions of leadership. In subsequent terms, "Leadership Practicum" includes workshops designed to meet the needs of students in the following areas: communication skills, self-assessment measures, group processes and other professional development topics as identified and designed by participants. Also included is the opportunity for participants to develop and monitor a leadership project within their workplace. Curriculum Design The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership is composed of ten course credits composed of eight full credit and four half credit courses. Each course uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners including case study, debate, written and oral seminar presentations and small group activity. These courses develop targeted leadership abilities and understandings as a boundary crossing endeavor in need of the leadership skills and visions of people from all levels of an organization. The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership will provide opportunities for students to: • • • • • • Reflect • • • • Assess • • Exercise • • Integrate • • Study conceptual frameworks of leadership issues of leadership history of education current issues in education conceptual models of teaching and learning on the various natures of leadership on themselves as leaders options and opportunities for leadership in education on ethics and values in leadership themselves as leaders situations in which they lead programs, projects and ideas creative leadership both individual and collective a variety of thought processes viewpoints on leadership with personal experiences viewpoints on education from a variety of disciplines Core Courses (4 course credits) The following core courses are required of all students in the Master of Arts in Education-Leadership program: EDU 500 Assessment and Leadership (.5 credit course) EDU 513 Diversity and Education OR ML 560 Developing a Multi-Cultural Perspective EDU 514 Evaluation and Documentation OR ML 514 Research Methods EDU 593 Thesis-Research Seminar I (.5 credit course)* EDU 594 Thesis-Research Seminar II (.5 credit course)* EDU 592 Thesis Consultation (.5 credit course) Elective Courses (4-6 course credits) The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership program requires, at a minimum, that four of the six required elective courses be selected from the following list: EDU EDU EDU EDU 510 511 512 515 Ethics and Leadership Legacy of Education Models of Teaching and Leaming Creativity and Problem Framing OR ML 511 Creativity and the Problem-Solving Process EDU 516 Models of Educational Process EDU 517 Politics and Public Policy of School Offerings EDU 599 Special Topics (.5or1 credit course) Master of Arts in Leadership Elective Courses (0-2 course credits) The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership program will allow up to two electives from the Master of Arts in Leadership program to be selected from the following list: ML 510 ML 520 ML 521 ML 530 ML 531 ML 540 ML 545 Foundations of Leadership Self-Identity, Values, and Personal Growth Methods of Critical Thought Ethics in Communication The Dynamics of Change Politics, History, and Leadership Decision Making I: Qualitative Process and Applica tion ML 550 Decision Making and Technology ML 599 Special Topics Please see the Master of Arts -in Leadership program bulletin for detailed descriptions of these courses. *EDU 590 and EDU 591 are now known as EDU 593 and EDU 594, respectively.

' As practitioners, teachers are concerned with enhancing their teaching skills and their students' learning. As professionals, teachers are increasingly responsible for and concerned about educ;ational decision-making. Augsburg College offers a program that addresses this dual focus of classroom practitioner and teacher leader. The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership (MEL) program offers opportunities to increase knowledge and skills (1) for teaching today and (2) for leading education into the future. This program values the role that good teachers play in the lives of students and operates from the belief that teachers can exercise leadership, inside and outside the classroom, without relinquishing the role of teacher . The Minnesota Board of Teaching, in its requirements for teacher licensure programs, acknowledges the importance of developing teachers who have the knowledge and skill to act as leaders, or change agents. Beginning teachers, however, often feel overwhelmed with issues of classroom practice; thus, it is logical to offer a program which includes a "change agent" focus at the degree level sought by veteran teachers. The MEL program incorporates an educational leadership focus alongside the more traditional classroom practice focus to address the expanded role teachers play in today's schools . As a part of this program you will: • Study issues of classroom practice, including teaching and learning, creativity, and multi-cultural ism; • Gain specific know ledge of educational institutions and processes; • Examine who and what leadership is about and explore ways to exercise leadership within your workplace; • Develop expertise in an area of personal interest through an individualized, capstone research project. .. ·. ' ' ' . ... • '• ·.. ~ADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL .. ., The MEL program promotes leadership as a process which I) inspires cooperation among people, 2) promotes productivity within and beyond the educational organization, and 3) works toward growth and change within the educational organization. Individuals in leadership roles identify three key attributes of leadership: a sense of vision, the ability to persuade, and the ability to direct action. These attributes form the framework for the Leadership Developm~nt Model incorporated into the MEL . . .: :.. . ·. ·. ._. program philosophy. . ; . .. ~ ·•·:..

Elective courses in both components allow students to build ... individual programs Focus I: Classroom Issues and Practice Courses (2.5-4.5 course credits) These courses are offered to degree and non-degree seeking students. A maximum of 4.5 courses may be selected from the list below. One of these must be EDU 513 or ML 560.

Focus II: Education Leadership Courses (4.5-6.5 course credits) These courses are required of students pursuing the MEL degree and are not available to students who are not enrolled in the degree program. Educational leadership courses provide students with a supportive framework within which to investigate leadership and the institution of education, to consider themselves as leaders, and to develop expertise in a topic of choice. Both thesis and applied project options are available as capstone research experiences . At least one of these three courses is required for the MEL degree: EDU 511 Legacy of Education (1.0) EDU 51 7 Politics and Public Policy in Education (1.0) EDU 599 Topics in Educational Leadership (.5-1.0) All of the following courses are required for the MEL degree: EDU 510 Ethics and Leadership in Education (or an approved MAL alternative) (1.0) EDU 514 Evaluation and Documentation (or ML 514 Research Methods) (1.0) .' ..

These courses are available to degree seeking students but are not available to non-degree seeking students. For students wanting to explore issues of leadership and organizational change within a broader context, the MEL program will allow up to two electives from the Master of Arts in Leadership program. These courses become part of the Focus II component of the MEL program. See the Master of Arts in Leadership program bulletin for courses. Some students express a theoretical and/or empirical interest in the study of education and/or leadership and identify topics which lend themselves to a more traditional thesis project. An example of a thesis project would be a comparison of the effects of two instructional strategies on student learning. The connection to leadership comes as the thesis writer considers how to share his/her expertise with others. 1[' ~M;~ lis:/LcaidlcrsllAil p Aipip ~katnrnrn P rnjed: At, or near, the completion of the course work for the MEL program, students are required to develop and carry out a study or project related to education and leadership. The focus can be on an issue in education with opportunities for personal leadership, or it can focus on leadership itself within the context of education. This research-based capstone experience affords students the opportunity to become an expert in an area of personal interest as well as to "tie together" what has been learned throughout the MEL program. Students have the option to select either a Thesis or a Leadership Application Project. The decision as to which of these alternatives is selected depends Other students express interest in an applied project which includes the development and implementation of an idea related to education. These students find the Leadership Application Project to be the appropriate culminating experience. An example of a leadership application project is one which includes the development and implementation of a peer mediation training program at the middle school level. Leadership issues emerge as part of the training of students and staff in the use of the program. In both capstone experiences, research forms the foundation for decision-making and direction.

Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota. We know that Augsburg College is an excellent choice for you to pursue your teaching dreams and goals-and here's why. OUR PHILOSOPHY. The Education Department program theme-Teacher as developing professional from classroom decision-maker to educational leadersuggests the expectations we have that our students will leave our programs prepared to exercise leadership in the classroom and, eventually, the institution. Our department mission statement goes beyond leadership to also lay out our expectations for fostering "student learning and well-being by being knowledgeable in content, being competent in pedagogy, being ethical in practice, building relationships, embracing diversity, reflecting critically, and collaborating effectively. " Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through course content, field experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students leave our programs prepared to be knowledgeable, collaborative, capable beginning teachers who imbue their practice with ethics, tolerance, and compassion. 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 though teaching is your dream, your reality 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 and weekends to allow you to manage these responsibilities while pursuing your goals. 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. Vicki Olson, Ph.D. Program Director The Augsburg College Education Department commits itself to developing future educational leaders who foster student learning and well-being by being knowledgeable in content, being competent in pedagogy, being ethical in practice, building relationships, embracing diversity, reflecting critically, and collaborating effectively.

We offer you an opportunity to earn your education licensure as a component of a Master of Arts in Education (MAE) degree through classes that primarily meet every other weekend and limited weekday evenings. Augsburg's MAE degree is flexible, for people who: I have a baccalaureate degree already and are seeking teaching licensure with an option to complete a master's degree; I are licensed teachers seeking a master's degree; I are seeking a master's degree in education without teaching licensure. Through weekend and weekday evening classes, students can earn licensure in: I Elementary education with a middle school specialty. Specialty areas in communication arts, math, and social studies are available through this program. The science specialty is available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, and weekend courses. All education courses are available through weekend and weekday evening courses. I Secondary and K-12 education. Undergraduate majors in licensable content areas serve as the foundation for secondary and K-12 education licensure. These majors are evaluated by Augsburg's content area departments to determine remaining content area courses necessary for licensure. In general, a minimum of two courses within the licensure major must be completed at Augsburg. Social studies, art, and communication arts/literature are available entirely through weekend and weekday evening classes. Other licensure majors are offered primarily through weekday courses, including biology, chemistry, health education, mathematics, music education, physical education, physics, and theatre arts. All education courses are available through weekend and weekday evening courses. I Special education. Licensure areas in special education include emotional/behavioral disabilities and learning disabilities. These programs, designed primarily for people who have already earned a baccalaureate degree and now want a teaching license, are comprised of two distinct parts. First is the licensure component. If you are seeking licensure and qualify for admission into the MAE program, you can take a portion of the licensure courses at the graduate level. While these courses do not fulfill all MAE degree requirements, they form the core of the master's degree. Second is the graduate degree completion component. Between four to six licensure courses completed at the graduate level with a 3.0 or better cumulative GPA can be applied towards the MAE degree. Once licensure is achieved, you can continue to take graduate classes in education and leadership to complete the MAE degree. - Already licensed teachers can work towards the MAE degree through the following options: I Special education E/BD and LD I Reading licensure People seeking an education-related master's degree who do not want licensure can pursue an MAE degree, as well. These programs are made up of a core of graduate level education courses plus additional courses in leadership. Whether seeking licensure and/or a master's degree, this program allows you to change or enhance your career while fulfilling your family and professional commitments in the company of adults with similar goals. PROGRAM 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 two ways. First, the additional work required in focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well a: requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students are required courses from our Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program. This provides the : aspects of leadership as part of their degree program.

Augsburg Weekend College offers this license to people who already hold a bachelor's degree and meet admissions requirements, as well as to people seeking a bachelor's degree. Licensure requirements are offered at undergraduate/ graduate level. That means classes will consist of both undergraduate and graduate students, with graduate students having additional course responsibilities. The graduate course numbers are taken at the 500 level. The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure, and between four and six may also be applied toward the master's degree in education.

A minimum of 100 hours in classrooms and education-related settings are required prior to student teaching. Students spend approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences. UNDERGRADUATE LIBERAL ARTS REQUIREMENTS The number of supporting liberal arts courses required for licensure depends upon the courses taken previously as part of the bachelor's degree. Requirements are determined by: I Minnesota licensure standards for specific college level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary licensure. I Minnesota licensure standards in a specialty area for middle school. Subject area specialties are offered in language arts, social studies, math, and science. 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 determines the courses that are accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. In limited cases, life experience can be considered as a substitute for specific program requirements. In such cases students must provide significant evidence of competency in the affected standards. The College's Applicat~on of Prior Learning (APL) process is used as a framework. The Education Department determines what is accepted. - K-12 and 5-12 licensures in several content areas are offered in Weekend College through a combination of graduate and undergraduate coursework. Education requirements are offered primarily on a weekend schedule (along with a limited number of weekday evening courses) . Graduate-level licensure coursework is available to people who already hold a bachelor's degree and meet admissions criteria. The following majors are offered almost entirely through Weekend College: communication arts/literature, history or economics or psychology or sociology (all for social studies), studio art. The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure, and four to six may also be applied toward the master's degree in education. People seeking 5-12 licensure in social studies and biology, chemistry, or physics must complete a broad-based core of courses in their selected field in addition to the major. Previous coursework is accepted when appropriate. This is part of the evaluation of major coursework.

A minimum of 100 hours in classrooms and education-related settings are required prior to student teaching. Students spend approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences. UNDERGRADUATE LIBERAL ARTS REQUIREMENTS The equivalent of a major in a content area is required for K-12 and 5-12 licensure. Students who have majored in a field in which we offer licensure must have their previous coursework evaluated by the major department at Augsburg. Additional coursework tied to licensure standards is generally required. - The following majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry, physics, health and physical education, theatre/dance, mathematics. LICENSURE COMPONENT Learning Disabilities Core There are two licensure options in the K-12 Special Education program: emotional/behavioral disabilities, and learning disabilities. Both of these programs qualify you to teach in special education programs and positions. Many students get licensure in both emotional/behavioral and learning disabilities. Students wishing to earn a Learning Disabilities licensure in addition to a Emotional/Behavioral licensure will take the above courses in the Emotional/Behavioral core, and two additional specialty courses. Emotional/Behavioral Disabilities Core SPE 434/534 The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure, and up to six may also be applied toward the master's degree in education. EDC 200/522 EDC 206/566 EDC 310/533 EDC 410/544 EED 320/520 SPE 400/500 SPE 410/510 Orientation to Education (1.0) * Diversity/Minnesota American Indians (1.0) Learning and Development (1.0) * Special Needs Learner (1.0) * K-6 Methods: Reading (l.O)* Teaching Students with Emot./Behavioral Disabilities (1.0)** Implementing Assessment Strategies SPE 420/520 SPE 430/530 Planning, Design, and Delivery (1.0) ** Instructional and Behavioral Practices SPE 440/540 Parent and Professional Planning (1.0)** SPE 424/524 Etiology and Origins of Learning Disabilities (l.O)** Teaching Content Areas to Students with Learning Disabilities (1.0)** A student wishing to earn only a Learning Disabilities licensure would take all of the Emotional/Behaviorial Disabilities core class as well, with the exception of SPE 4 30/530 Instructional and Behavioral Practices.

Students currently working in schools can often use their school employment for their field experience. **These courses are taken during the internship year. A significant amount of contact with students labeled EBD or LD is required. The ideal situation for the internship year is to be working in a K-12 setting with these students. Students not currently employed in schools must be available for extensive volunteer field placements during the internship year. 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 determines the courses that are accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. Eligibility To be eligible to apply to the Special Education program, students must: I have college credits, an associate degree, or degree and/or licensure in another field; and I be currently employed in a K-12 setting as a paraprofessional or licensed teacher; and/or I have experience working with students who are labeled with emotional, behavioral, or learning disabilities, as well as considerable time available for volunteer field placements. - Innovative Model This program is based on an internship model that allows coursework and experience to occur simultaneously In addition to student teaching, students must complete two 40-hour field placements where they will gain experience working with students from age groups different from their internship site. This program is built on an inclusive education model. Under this model, students learn how to work closely with both special and regular educators to facilitate inclusion of special education students into the regular education classroom. Augsburg College also offers a K-12 Reading Endorsement program. This endorsement has been established to provide teachers with existing teaching licenses an opportunity to expand their knowledge and practices in the area of reading instruction. Candidates for this license will complete 4.5 credits of coursework 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. These courses include: EED 520 K-6 Methods: Reading (LO)* ESE 500 Reading/Writing in the Content Areas (LO)* EDC 505 K-12 Literature in the Classroom (.5) EDC 508 K-12 Reading Assessment and Evaluation (LO) EDC 510 Clinical and Reading Program Leadership (LO) EED 320/520 and ESE 300/500 are offered to both undergraduate and graduate students. EED 320/520 is part of the elementary and special education initial licensure programs, and ESE 300/500 is part of the secondary initial licensure program. The rigor of the course is increased for those taking it at the graduate level. The following policies apply for licensed teachers seeking the reading endorsement: I Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching license and who are graduates of Augsburg College or completers of Augsburg licensure programs within the past seven years will not be required to retake the entire version of EED 520 or ESE 500. However, they will be expected to complete the requirement for the graduate portion of the course that they may have taken at the undergraduate level (EED 320 or ESE 300) within the context of a half-credit graduate level independent study. If the graduate level of the course was taken as part of the initial license (EED 520 or ESE 500) within the past seven years, students do not need to repeat it or do the independent study. I Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching license and who are graduate/completers of Augsburg College, but not within the past seven years, will be required to take EED 520 and/or ESE 500 at the graduate level. I Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching license and who are not graduates of Augsburg College will be expected to take EED 520 and ESE 500 at the graduate level as part of the endorsement program. STUDENT TEACHING All education students are required to complete student teaching in their content area. In the MAE program, student teaching is completed after the core education classes are completed, but before the master's completion electives and final project. Student teaching generally lasts for 12 weeks; however, it may vary slightly for some specific content areas. During that time, students work full time as student teachers and are supervised by an Augsburg faculty member. Students register for two credits of student teaching, and meet at Augsburg College for a student teaching seminar three times during the term. Most placements are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. However, students do have the opportunity to teach abroad, where students do half of the student teaching experience in the metro area, and the remaining portion in another country. Opportunities to teach abroad are available around the world, and it is a wonderful opportunity to build a global perspective in education. - Students progress in graduate coursework during the licensure program. The licensure coursework forms the Master of Arts in Education core, with up to six Augsburg graduate-level licensure courses fulfilling the master's requirements. Declaration of Intent to Complete Students who have been admitted into the MAE program must formally declare their intent to complete the master's degree beyond licensure. This can be done any time during coursework, and up to one year after completing student teaching. Students have seven years to complete the degree after filing the intent to complete form The declaration of intent is made to the MAE program coordinator. Graduate-level courses in which a 3.0 or better is achieved will be accepted into the degree program. If a graduate course is graded 2.5 it can be accepted into the MAE degree completion program as long as the cumulative GPA remains at 3.0 or higher. A maximum of two courses at 2.5 can be used to complete the MAE degree. Students need nine graduate-level courses to complete the MAE. Between four and six courses can be drawn from the appropriate core; the remaining courses will be education or leadership requirements and electives. Once graduate-level students have declared their intent to complete the master's degree, they are eligible to take Master of Arts in Leadership and other education graduate courses. If education graduate courses are used as electives in the degree completion component, they must be drawn from a pool of education non-licensure courses offered at the graduate level. In most cases students will complete the licensure component prior to the graduate degree. The MAE program is also open to students seeking a master's degree without licensure. Students taking this path file Intent to Complete forms with the MAE program director prior to taking their first graduate-level course. The same GPA standards apply (3.0 or better on coursework) and the core of the graduate program is made up of four to six graduate-level licensure courses, plus the degree completion options outlined for those seeking licensure. The difference is that these students are not required to complete the undergraduate courses in education and liberal arts that are required for licensure. Graduate Degree Completion To earn a master's degree beyond the core of education classes, students will need to successfully complete a minimum of three additional graduate-level courses. They are: I A research methods course, typically ML 514 I An elective course, chosen from leadership-focused courses in the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program (see page 11) I A research- or leadership-based final project Students bringing fewer than six graduate-level licensure courses into the degree program must complete additional leadership or education graduate courses to reach the total of nine required courses. - The research methods course will help prepare students to evaluate and document research for use in their final project or paper. In this course, both qualitative and quantitative research methods will be examined. The leadership elective courses allow students to examine issues of leadership at a personal or institutional level. The goal for the graduate degree completion component is to foster the development of teachers as leaders within the institution and community as is in line with our program theme and department mission statement. FINAL PROJECT OPTIONS Students have two options for fulfilling their Master of Arts in Education final project, which serves as the capstone of the master's program: a Leadership Application Project or action research. LEADERSHIP ELECTIVE OPTIONS The Leadership Application Project is a research-based study that links issues of leadership and education with the degree candidate's personal interests. The character of the project will vary with the nature of the investigation and the materials involved, but will always be application oriented. The central component of the Leadership Application Project is the demonstration of leadership ability through a concrete research-based project appropriate to the candidate's workplace or place of service. Students taking this option will register for EDC 585 Independent Study and work closely with a project adviser from Augsburg College. ML510 Visions of Leadership ML 511 Creativity and Problem-Solving ML 520 Self Identity, Values, and Personal The second option is action research in education. Action research is a collaborative, self-reflective research method designed to be used in real situations, and is aimed at solving real problems. The goal of action research is to gain better knowledge of one's practice while improving the situation in which the practice is conducted. This option is composed of two half-credit courses taken in sequential terms. The first course, EDC 586, introduces students to action research, a form of research that simultaneously contributes to the practical concerns of people while furthering the goals of social science. The second course, EDC 587, is focused on collecting and analyzing data. It culminates in a symposium where students present their research in a public forum.

The central component of the Leadership Application Project is the demonstration of leadership ability through a - Admission into the Master of Arts in Education program is a two-step process: admission into Augsburg College Graduate Studies, and admission into the Education Department. AUGSBURG GRADUATE ADMISSION Immediate graduate admission requires applicants to hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited four-year college or university with a minimum undergraduate cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (on a scale of A= 4.0). Any graduate courses taken will also be factored into the cumulative grade point average. However, if an applicant holds a graduate degree with at least a 3.0 grade point average, he or she is waived from holding a minimum undergraduate cumulative grade point average . ·.· . Applicants with cumulative grade point averages between 2.5 - 3.0 will be admitted to the undergraduate-level licensure program until they achieve a 3.0 or better in 2.0 courses at Augsburg College. Decisions about admission to the program will be made on an individual basis by the Education Department Admissions Committee. Admissions are handled on a rolling basis, with students being admitted at the beginning of the fall, winter, and spring terms. To apply to the College, the following materials must be submitted to the Office of Graduate Admissions: I Completed application form I $35 non-refundable application fee I A one-to-three page statement about the applicant's teaching aspirations I Official transcripts from all undergraduate institutions attended, listing all courses taken and any degree(s) conferred I Official transcripts from all graduate institutions attended, listing all courses taken and degree(s) conferred, if any. EDUCATION DEPARTMENT ADMISSION Once accepted into the College, students may take lower division courses in education and required content areas. Prior to taking the upper division courses, students must be admitted to the Education Department. In order to be accepted into the Education Department, students must take the PreProfessional Skills Test (PPST), have the required cumulative grade point average, and submit two letters of recommendation. - To obtain an Education Department admissions packet, go the Education Department office in Sverdrup Hall 11.

Students and their financial sponsor must complete a Declaration of Finances as part of the application for admission, along with appropriate certifications. In accordance with federal regulations, applicants seeking an F-1 student visa or J-1 exchange visitor visa must provide documentation to the school that they have financial resources adequate to cover all expenses for the duration of the program. Once a student has been accepted into the program, the appropriate school official will issue the student an 1-20 (if seeking an F-1) or DS-2019 (if seeking aj-1). - EVALUATION STANDARDS Evaluation of academic performance in the MAE program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale and as defined below. Courses not offered on the numbered grading system are noted in the course descriptions in this catalog as being graded on PIN basis. In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. 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. 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 Achieves the minimum passing standard Performance below basic course standards 0.5 0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) P Achieves at or above the 2.0 level (not computed in grade point average) N Does not meet minimum course standards (no credit and nonpunitive-not computed in grade point average) W Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record 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 Office of the Registrar 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. 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. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0. ATTENDANCE POLICY Attendance is highly important and should be considered a responsibility, not only to one's self, but to one's classmates and course instructor. - 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 MAE program 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 by the MAE program director. Students may also be dismissed by the MAE program director 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 MAE program director for approval of any variation in the curriculum including the 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 accredited colleges and universities, whose course content is comparable to those in the MAE program. No more than two courses will be accepted for transfer credit. CREDIT AND CONTACT HOURS Each full-credit graduate course is the equivalent of four semester credits or six quarter credits. Students meet in class a total of 28 hours and are responsible for a significant amount of individual study and preparation. LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW FROM CLASS The last date on which students may withdraw from a class and receive a "W" on their records is published annually in the Weekend College class schedule and on the Weekend College Web site <www.augsburg.edu/weccurrent> and on the registrar's Web page at <www.augsburg.edu/enroll/registrar>. - FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN PROGRAM A joint Augsburg College-federally funded program administered through the College for students who demonstrate financial eligibility.

They had better comprehend the values of our common culture, past and present, know how our political and economic systems work, and understand how and why science has changed the world ... Leaders need specialists as advisers and staff members. But leaders themselves are generalists ... At higher levels of leadership they cannot achieve their full potential without considerable breadth of knowledge. Only this way can they shape the contexts for decisions where expert knowledge is used. - John Gardner Augsburg College 731 21st Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55454 612/330-1786 • nformation Sessions Individuals interested in the Master of Arts in Leadership program at Augsburg College are encouraged to attend an information session.

While different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the following qualities: • a vision which is ethically and morally responsible, extending beyond immediate concerns; • an understanding of how change occurs and affects the immediate environment; • a sensitivity to the complex problems organizations face, and an ability to achieve solutions consistent with an organization's mission; "' the ability to motivate and inspire individuals and groups to work toward a common goal; and • the ability to effectively represent the organization both internally and externally. The Master of Arts in Leadership provides a means by which individuals aspiring to enhance their leadership skills may discover and refine these and other abilities and awarenesses fundamental to effective leadership. Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule The Master of Arts in Leadership program is designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults. The program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll are employed, self-disciplined and well-motivated individuals who seek a balance of classroom experience, group interaction and individual study. Each course is, therefore, divided into periods of study, group efforts and class preparation. To accommodate this format for learning, each class meets on alternate Saturdays for three-and-one-half hours and alternate Thursday evenings for one-and-one-half hours. Leadership Development Model The Master of Arts in Leadership program promotes leadership as a process which 1) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes productivity within and beyond the organization, and 3) works toward progress. 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 is a broad range of abilities and awarenesses. These abilities and awarenesses, outlined in the diagram on page 7, serve as specific outcomes for the Master of Arts in Leadership. Augsburg's model of leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance and refine these capabilities within the individual.

Learning can be. enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement for active participation both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of men and women who bring to the program a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages graduate students to make use of college facilities such as the library, meeting rooms and the Christensen Center; to take the opportunity to share meals and coffee breaks; to participate in optional lunchtime seminars; and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Leadership Practicum . ., .· .·.· Master of Arts in Leadership students enroll in a half course called "Leadership Practicum." Students are required to enroll in this professional assessment and development course for six terms during their graduate work at Augsburg. Upon completion of the entire practicum, students receive a half course credit. In each term, specific activities related to the practicum are scheduled. Early in the program a major component of this practicum is a full-day professional assessment to determine students' abilities and potential relative to each of the outcomes of the Leadership Development Model (see page 7). Assessment instruments include paper and pencil exercises and simulation and group experiences. Following the assessment students meet individually with a trained assessor who provides guidance in personal goal-setting and in the creation of a professional development plan or "blueprint." In subsequent terms "Leadership Practicum" includes workshops designed to meet the needs of the students in the following areas: communication skills, self-assessment measures, group processes, and other professional development topics identified by graduate students and staff. .Liurriculum Design Master of Arts in Leadership students are required to complete 12 courses and a thesis. Each course unites two or more liberal arts disciplines, encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes, and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners. Instructional techniques are varied, such as case study, debate, written and oral presentation and group activity. The e techniques, which have had demon trat d succes in advan d courses, develop targeted leadership abilities and understandings. Continual reinforcement occurs as students employ these capacities in multiple courses. Students are encouraged to see abilities and understandings as cross-disciplinary and to see content areas as integrated. The very form of the program reflects the view that the world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative ability. Required Courses Include: ML 500 ML 510 ML 590 ML 591 ML 592 Leadership Practicum (a half course which spans six trimesters) Foundations of Leadership (to be taken during one of the first three trimesters) Thesis-Research Seminar I Thesis-Research Seminar II (These two seminars are to be taken in a student's last two consecutive terms.)

While different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the following qualities: .& a vision which is ethically and morally responsible, extending beyond immediate concerns; ... an understanding of how change occurs and affects the immediate environment; .& a sensitivity to the complex problems organizations face, and an ability to achieve solutions consistent with an organization's mission; ... the ability to motivate and inspire individuals and groups to work toward a common goal; and .& the ability to effectively represent the organization both internally and externally. The Master of Arts in Leadership provides a means by which individuals aspiring to enhance their leadership skills may discover and refine these and other abilities and awarenesses fundamental to effective leadership. Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule The Master of Arts in Leadership program is designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults. The program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll are employed, self-disciplined and well-motivated individuals who seek a balance of classroom experience, group interaction and individual study. Each course is, therefore, divided into periods of study, group efforts and class preparation. To accommodate this format for learning, each class meets on alternate Saturdays for three-and-one-half hours and alternate Thursday evenings for one-and-one-half hours. Leadership Development Model The Master of Arts in Leadership program promotes leadership as a process which 1) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes productivity within and beyond the organization, and 3) works toward progress. 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 is a broad range of abilities and awarenesses. These abilities and awarenesses, outlined in the diagram on page 7, serve as specific outcomes for the Master of Arts in Leadership. Augsburg's model of leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance and refine these capabilities within the individual. Community of Learners Essential to the goals of the Master of Arts in Leadership is participation in a community of learners. Learning can be enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement for active participation both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of men and women who bring to the program a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages graduate students to make use of college facilities such as the library, meeting rooms and the Christensen Center; to take the opportunity to share meals and coffee breaks; to participate in optional lunch time seminars; and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Leadership Practicum Master of Arts in Leadership students enroll in a half course called "Leadership Practicum." Students are required to enroll in this professional assessment and development course for six terms during their graduate work at Augsburg. Upon completion of the entire practicum, students receive a half course credit. In each term, specific activities related to the practicum are scheduled. Early in the program a major component of this practicum is a full-day professional assessment to determine students' abilities and potential relative to each of the outcomes of the Leadership Development Model (see page 5). Assessment instruments include paper and pencil exercises and simulation and group experiences. Following the assessment students meet individually with a trained assessor who provides guidance in personal goal-setting and in the creation of a professional development plan or "blueprint." In subsequent terms "Leadership Practicum" includes workshops designed to meet the needs of the students in the following areas: communication skills, self-assessment measures, group processes, and other professional development topics identified by graduate students and staff.

I . Developing Leaders for Organizations and the Community The Master of Arts in Leadership responds to the leadership development needs of profit and not-for-profit organizations. While different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the following qualities: • a vision which is ethically and morally responsible, extending beyond immediate concerns; • an understanding of how change occurs and affects the immediate environment; • a sensitivity to the complex problems organizations face, and an ability to achieve solutions consistent with an organization's mission; • the ability to motivate and inspire individuals and groups to work toward a common goal; and • the ability to effectively represent the organization both internally and externally. The Master of Arts in Leadership provides a means by which individuals may discover and refine these and other abilities and awareness fundamental to effective leadership. Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule The Master of Arts in Leadership program is designed .. . .. .... to meet the needs and preferences of working adults. The program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll are employed, self-disciplined and well-motivated individuals who seek a balance of classroom experience, group interaction and individual study. Each course is, therefore, divided into periods of study, group efforts and class preparation. To accommodate this format for learning, each class meets on alternate Saturdays for three-and-one-half hours and alternate Thursday evenings for one-and-one-half hours. Leadership Development Model . • t . The Master of Arts in Leadership program promotes leadership as a process which I) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes productivity within and beyond the organization, and 3) 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. ... ..

' •I ~TRODUCTION Underlying these attributes is a broad range of abilities and awareness. These abilities and awarenesses, outlined in the diagram on page 5, serve as specific outcomes for the Master of Arts in Leadership. Augsburg's model of leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance and refine these capabilities within the individual. Community of Learners . .. ~ ' ; ..,..•'•· , - .. ', I. ·• .. ·.. ~. .•. • .. . ' ·• ·'·" . , Essential to the goals of the Master of Arts in Leadership is participation in a community of learners gathered together on the Augsburg campus. Learning is enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement for active participation both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of men and women who bring to the program a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages graduate students to make use of college facilitates such as the library, computer labs and the Christensen Center; to take the opportunity to share meals and coffee breaks; to participate in optional lunch time seminars; and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations, and athletic events. Individual Professional Development Master of Arts in Leadership students enroll in a half course called Leadership Practicum. Students are required to enroll in this professional assessment and development course for six tenns during their graduate work at Augsburg. Upon completion of the entire practicum, students receive a half course credit. In each tenn, specific activities related to the practicum are scheduled. Early in the program a major component of this practicum is a full-day professional assessment to determine students' abilities and potential relative to each of the outcomes of the Leadership Development Model (see page 5). Assessment instruments include paper and pencil exercises, and simulation and group experiences. Following the assessment, students meet individually with a trained assessor who provides guidance in personal goal-setting and in the creation of a professional development plan or "blueprint". Augsburg has contracted with Personnel Decisions, Inc. (PDI) to organize and facilitate the practicums. PDI is a professional consulting firm providing the full range of psychological and human resource services to enhance individual and organizational effectiveness. The practicums work on a rotating series of six, one per trimester. The practicums are designed to meet the needs of the students in the following areas: effective persuasion, communication techniques, identifying and defining problems, decision making, interpersonal skills required for leadership and other professional development topics.

Thesis/Leadership Application Project Requirement At, or near, the completion of the course work for the Master of Arts in Leadership program, students are required to develop and carry out a study of some aspect of leadership or leadership related topic. This research based study affords the student the opportunity to "tie together" what has been learned from the study of leadership in the course work, course related activities and the practicum sessions. Students in the Master of Arts in Leadership program have the option to do either a Thesis or a Leadership Application Project for completion of the Master of Arts in Leadership degree. The decision as to which of these capstone alternatives is selected depends on the interests and orientation of the student. Some students express a theoretical interest in the study of leadership and identify topics which lend themselves to a more traditional thesis project. Other students express interest in a more applied approach to leadership and wish to pursue investigations which are not appropriate for more traditional thesis topics. Students with more practical topics in mind are likely to select the Leadership Application Project. Both the Thesis and the Leadership Application Project should be seen as the culmination of the Master of Arts in Leadership program, offering participants the opportunity to either investigate some aspect of leadership in depth or explore the application of what has been studied. The principal distinction between these two options lies in their underlying orientation. The Thesis will have a more theoretical orientation, while the Leadership Application Project will be based on a more practical applied orientation. The difference between these two options will be explored in more detail in the ML 514 Research Methods course, taken during the first year of the student's program. ·~ .
