Published 2012 www.augsburg.edu A Greeting from the President I am pleased to know of your interest in Augsburg College’s exciting and innovative graduate programs. You are part of a select and discerning group of professionals who seek to find a graduate program that combines an excellent curriculum, a values-based approach to work, a talented and experienced faculty, and program formats that meet the needs of busy and successful people. Augsburg College’s graduate-level programs in Business Administration, Education, Leadership, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, and Social Work are distinguished by the opportunities they provide students to expand decision-making and strategic skills. Augsburg College is characterized by a strong mission: Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran church, and shaped by its urban and global settings. For our graduate programs, this mission helps to shape an innovative educational experience that features an expansive perspective on social responsibility, economic realities, business initiative, and environmental sustainability. At Augsburg College, we believe that our distinctive educational purpose is to help you find your calling at work and in the world. Augsburg graduate programs are designed to offer you quality educational experiences, personal attention, and opportunities to expand your personal and professional talents and skills. We are confident that our graduates are prepared for leadership in our ever-changing global society, the hallmark of an Augsburg degree. Sincerely, Paul C. Pribbenow President, Augsburg College Greetings from the Academic Affairs Office Welcome to our graduate programs. We are committed to education that prepares people for leadership in their communities and places of work. We believe that the liberal and professional arts and sciences form the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Our locations in the vital metropolitan areas of Minneapolis/St. Paul and Rochester offer exciting and challenging field experiences for courses that include real-life learning through academic internships, experiential education, and cultural enrichment. The Twin Cities and Rochester become extended campuses for Augsburg students. Also, the diversity in our campus community ensures that our graduates are prepared for the range of experiences and perspectives that characterize today’s global environment. When you join Augsburg you become part of a community that offers lifelong learning opportunities in state-of-the-art classrooms, with accessible libraries and dedicated faculty and staff. You join a body of experienced people who quickly form your network of employer connections and career opportunities. We encourage our alumni to become your mentors and build on our city connections through public events, including our convocations and Advent Vespers. All our programs share distinctive qualities, including our commitment and mission to be of service, with one another and to our neighbors. We expect our graduates to have their eyes on the world as they develop their identity as global citizens, with a sense of responsibility to participate in socially- and economically-sustainable development. We hope that at some time during your degree, you’ll explore the opportunities to participate in an international learning experience—for example, travel seminars to our global campuses in Central America, Mexico, and Namibia, and opportunities to meet visiting students and faculty members from our partner institutions in Norway, Germany, Finland, and Slovenia. Inspired by the faith of our Lutheran founders to be inclusive to the early immigrants who came to Augsburg’s doors, we welcome a diversity of cultures and faiths. Although each graduate program has its own “neighborhood” and unique features, we encourage interdisciplinary courses and opportunities for you to study with colleagues across disciplines. We encourage both “horizontal” initiatives—i.e., cross-program collaboration—as well as “vertical” initiatives—engaging our undergraduate students to consider graduate work. This means that sometimes you may be encouraging classmates who are just beginning to imagine a graduate degree. We are companions on your journey in fulfilling your dream of a graduate degree and we cannot wait to meet you. Sincerely, Barbara A.

Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, act ethically and communicate effectively in a global world. The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg mission, informed by the liberal and professional arts and sciences, to serve our neighbors in the heart of the city with faith-based, ethical values. We welcome students from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Also, our programs look to the world through international courses and cultural exchanges. Mission Statement Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community, committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by our urban and global settings. Augsburg Today Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wis., and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. A short history of Augsburg College can be found at www.augsburg.edu/about/history.html Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of its founders who believed: • Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically and broadly about the world and the work we do in it; • An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and centers of faith; • The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment. The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.” Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society. Degrees Offered Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences is offered on both a traditional weekday schedule and a non-traditional weekend and evening schedule. Augsburg offers the following graduate programs: Master of Arts in Education (MAE) Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN) Master of Business Administration (MBA) Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies Master of Social Work Doctor of Nursing Practice Dual degrees: BA in accounting/MA in leadership Master of Social Work/Master of Business Administration Master of Social Work/MA in theology, with Luther Seminary Augsburg is enhanced by its global centers in Namibia, Mexico, and Central America. Students can perform research, take courses, or consult with faculty in those locations to gain new perspectives on their discipline. A Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s graduate programs is participation in a community of adult learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages students to make use of all College facilities such as Lindell Library, the Kennedy Center, and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Graduate Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching and service to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories. Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. Minneapolis and Rochester Locations Augsburg’s Minneapolis campus Augsburg’s Minneapolis campus surrounds Murphy Square, the oldest park in the city of Minneapolis. The University of Minnesota West Bank campus and one of the city’s largest medical complexes—the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview—are adjacent to Augsburg, with the Mississippi River and the Seven Corners theater district just a few blocks away. Convenient bus routes run by the campus, and two Hiawatha Line light rail stations are just blocks away. In addition to its Minneapolis campus, Augsburg has a branch campus in Rochester, Minn., located at Bethel Lutheran Church. For maps, directions, and parking information, go to www.augsburg.edu/about/map. Augsburg established its branch campus in Rochester, Minn., in 1998. Classes in Rochester meet on an evening schedule with occasional Saturdays, making them accessible to working adults. There are three trimesters in each academic year, and students can enter degree programs in the fall, winter, or spring. Several complete degree programs are available through the Rochester campus. In addition, students may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of Rochester-based courses and courses taken in the day or Weekend College program on the Minneapolis campus.

FERPA The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Augsburg College understands that no information other than “directory information” can be released without the written permission of the student. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. For example, this means that faculty or others cannot write letters of support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written permission is given by the student to release non-“directory information.” It is not sufficient to ask for letters of recommendation. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following: Right to inspect and review education records You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg College. You must request to review your education records in writing, with your signature. The College will respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request. Right to request amendment of education records You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records as you requested. Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize disclosure without your permission. One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information” FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without notification of the request or disclosure to the student. Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform Augsburg College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused. “Directory information” includes the following: • The student’s name; • The student’s address; • The student’s telephone number; • The student’s e-mail address; • The student’s date and place of birth; • The student’s major and minor field of study; • The student’s academic class level; • The student’s enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT); • The student’s participation in officially recognized activities and sports; • The student’s degrees and awards received; • The weight and height of members of athletic teams; • The student’s dates of attendance; • The most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student; and • The student’s photograph. Augsburg College will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such information be withheld. The Office of the Registrar must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory Information. If the notice is not received by the registrar prior to Sept. 15 (or within 10 school days of the start of a subsequent term for a new student), it will be assumed that all Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder of the current academic year. A new notice for withholding disclosure must be completed each academic year. Right to complain to FERPA Office You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. S.W., Washington, D.C., 20202-4605, concerning Augsburg’s failure to comply with FERPA. Reporting Educational Information Letters of reference must be requested in writing and explicitly indicate what information may be reported in the letter. Academic Programs and Policies Academic Calendars Most of our graduate programs meet on a trimester calendar. Physician Assistant Studies classes meet on a semester day schedule. The official academic calendars for individual programs can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change. Academic Policies The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges. Academic Honesty A college is a community of learners whose relationship relies on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity and credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg College community. Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a College requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student pledging to abide by the College’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. (See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/) Academic Evaluation Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0 achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for details of field study and special projects. Students must achieve a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. The numeric grade point definition for Graduate Studies is: 4.0 grade points Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 grade points Achieves above acceptable standards 3.0 grade points Meets acceptable standards 2.5 grade points Meets minimum standards 2.0–0.0 grade points Unacceptable performance P N V W I X Represents work at 3.0 or higher (not counted in grade point average) No credit (not counted in grade point average) Audit Withdrawn Incomplete In progress, extended beyond term of registration Withdrawn Status W—Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record Incomplete (I) Grades An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the 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; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Academic Probation Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistant must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Attendance Policy Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements to address the needs of particular courses, individual students, or various learning styles. Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible, students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible. Continuation Policy for Thesis or Final Project (effective in fall 2010) Following the initial registration term for the final (or summative or capstone) project, students will be automatically registered for continuation course 999 each trimester for up to 15 trimesters or until a grade for the completion course is submitted by the project adviser. Continuation course 999 maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, including library, AugNet, and parking privileges. This registration will result in a Campus Access Fee of $35 (subject to change as costs increase) per trimester. Automatic registration will occur for up to five years or 15 terms. At the end of this time, the course grade will change from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project after receiving a failing grade must meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional course work and will need to pay full tuition for all additional courses and to repeat the final project course. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would supersede the previous grade. Students may withdraw from the College, and thus from continuation course 999 and the final project course, at any point during the continuation period and receive a W notation on the transcript for the final project course. Following a withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students may be subject to additional coursework. An accounts receivable hold will be placed on the student’s account if a collegewide $250 unpaid threshold is reached. The threshold will adjust with the practices of the Student Accounts Office. If a student owes more than the threshold amount, the registrar’s office will not continue to automatically enroll the student in continuation 999. The registrar’s office and the Student Accounts Office will inform the student, the program director, and coordinator that the student must pay the account (including the late fee). At this point coordinators and/or program directors will communicate with the student and the faculty adviser and, if necessary, request that the faculty adviser submit a grade change of N. The student also may elect to withdraw from the College. If the grade change has not been submitted within one term, the program director will submit the grade change of N. This policy is effective as of September 2010. Students will sign a contract outlining the terms of the continuation policy, which will be kept on file with the program and in the Office of the Registrar. Accumulated charges stand for current students, but beginning in fall 2010 students will be charged $35 per term. The Enrollment Center will work with students, as needed, who are currently in the continuation phase and who have accumulated a debt higher than the $250 threshold. Course credit and contact hours A full credit course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course on the trimester schedule meets for approximately 28 contact hours (MSW trimesters meet for 32 hours, and the PA weekday semester schedule is approximately 45 hours) with the expectation of substantial independent and group study offered through the web-based electronic course management system. Doctor of Nursing Practice—For information about course credits and contact hours for the Doctor of Nursing program, see p. 49. Degree Requirements To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following: • Successful completion of all required courses • A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. • Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed continuation agreement with Augsburg College. Dismissal from the College A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out with the program director. Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the College. Dismissal Appeals Process A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the College’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate negatively affected the outcome. The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard copy of the statement of appeal to the Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate Studies (AVP-Graduate Studies); email is not acceptable. The statement must identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The statement of appeal will be the only basis of the student’s appeal. The AVP-Graduate Studies must receive the student’s statement of appeal within 14 calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the statement of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within 15 business days of the date that the statement was received by the AVP-Graduate Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVP-Graduate Studies. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the program’s response to the student. The AVP-Graduate Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the AVP-Graduate Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty members (one from programs not named in the appeal: Social Work, Education, Physician Assistant Studies, Nursing, Business, Leadership). The Program Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s statement of response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures and ask questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each bring a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg College faculty member, staff member, or student). The role of the third party representative is to provide support to the student or the program representative, not to serve as an advocate during the meeting. Dropping Courses or Withdrawing Students who enroll in courses but later decide not to attend must formally drop their courses through the registrar’s office prior to the start of classes to avoid being charged for those courses. Students who do not properly drop courses will be responsible for the tuition, regardless of non-attendance. Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or in person at the Enrollment Center during hours of operation. If you need assistance with this, contact your program faculty at least two days in advance of the start of classes. Independent Study Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special independent study registration form is required and is available at the Enrollment Center. Terms of Non-attendance Students who interrupt their program enrollment for longer than one semester or three trimesters must readmit to the College and program to resume their degree program. For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their adviser and obtain the advice of their director. Evaluation of Transfer Credit Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide appropriate documentation regarding previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university and graded 3.0/B or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program requirements at Augsburg. The maximum number of course credits that can be transferred to these program is as follows: Master of Arts in Education (2.0) Master of Arts in Leadership (2.0) Master of Arts in Nursing (3.0) Master of Business Administration (6.0) Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator) Master of Social Work (8.0) Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter hours. Therefore, transfer credits that are reported to Augsburg as semester or quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by dividing by four or six respectively. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded on the student’s transcript. Grades and gradepoints from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Student Rights The College has adopted a statement of student rights and responsibilities and has provided for due process in the matter of disciplinary action, grievances, and grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg Student Guide, at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide. Students have a right to experience education without discrimination. Grievance Procedures Involving Augsburg College Faculty Members and Students Part I—Introduction/Preface Augsburg College is committed to a policy of treating fairly all members of the college community in regard to their personal and professional concerns. However, times do occur in which students think they have been mistreated. This procedure is provided in order to ensure that students are aware of the way in which their problems with faculty members can be resolved informally and to provide a more formal conciliation process when needed. Each student must be given adequate opportunity to bring problems to the attention of the faculty with the assurance that each will be given fair treatment. The faculty member must be fully informed of the allegations and given an opportunity to respond to them in a fair and reasonable manner. Definition of Grievance A grievance is defined as dissatisfaction occurring when a student believes that any conduct or condition affecting her/him is unjust or inequitable, or creates unnecessary hardship. Such grievances include, but are not limited to a violation, misinterpretation, or inequitable application of an academic rule, regulation, or policy of the College or prejudicial, capricious, or manifestly unjust academic evaluation. College policies and procedures that do not come within the scope of the Grievance Procedures are the sexual harassment policy, the sexual violence policy, the Committee on Financial Petitions, Discipline Process, and Academic Standing. Time Limits Time limits will include only business days (M–F) for the program in which the student was enrolled. (Weekends, and vacation days are not included; summer may not be included depending on the student’s program.) Part II—Informal Process It is always the student’s responsibility to know these procedures and timelines and to follow them. A. Any time a student feels that she/he has been mistreated by a faculty member, the student should contact the faculty member to discuss the problem and attempt to resolve it. B. If no mutually satisfactory solution can be reached with the faculty member or if, in unusual circumstances, the student prefers not to confer with the faculty member, the student should discuss the problem with the department chairperson of the faculty member and attempt resolution of the problem. C. If the problem cannot be resolved in discussions with the faculty member or department chairperson, or if the faculty member and the department chairperson are the same individual, the student may contact the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. D. The student must begin the Informal Grievance process within 15 days of the conduct giving rise to the grievance, by submitting an Informal Grievance Form to the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. • The time limit to begin the Informal Grievance process for a grade appeal will be 30 days from the last published finals date for the relevant term. It is the responsibility of the student to maintain a correct and current address on file with the registrar. • If the student could not reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct when it occurred, the student will have 15 days to file the grievance from the date on which the student could reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct or condition that is the basis for the grievance. It is the responsibility of the student to establish the reasonableness of such non–awareness. The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College will determine if this paragraph applies to a grievant. • The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College and the student must ensure the informal process is completed in 20 days. (See Part I for definition of time limits.) • In unusual circumstances, the time limit may be extended by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. A grievant or respondent must submit a written request for such extension before the end of the time limit. If the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College thinks the extension is warranted, the Dean will notify all concerned persons in writing. E. If the grievance has been resolved, either by agreement or by expiration of the time limits, a copy of the informal grievance and statements of the resolution will be kept by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College for one year. Neither a copy of nor any reference to the grievance will be placed in the personnel file of the respondent. If these informal discussions do not resolve the problem to the satisfaction of the student, a more formal conciliation procedure is available in Part III of this document. Note: A student must file a written grievance, per below, within five days after completion of the informal process Part III—Formal Process Preface If a student has a grievance with a faculty member that has not been resolved through the Informal Grievance Process described in Part II of this document, the student may then seek resolution through formal procedures. For a complete copy of the procedures, contact the dean’s office, Academic Affairs. Graduate Admissions Admission to Augsburg College All graduate programs require students to have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited fouryear institution. All graduate students must submit completed application forms that can be downloaded from each individual program’s web page, as listed below. Each graduate program also has additional program requirements, which may include coursework, professional experience, testing, etc. See the program sections for these additional requirements. MA, Education www.augsburg.edu/mae MA, Leadership www.augsburg.edu/mal MA, Nursing www.augsburg.edu/ma_nursing DNP www.augsburg/edu/dnp MBA www.augsburg.edu/mba MS, PA Studies www.augsburg.edu/pa MSW www.augsburg.edu/msw English Proficiency Requirements for International Graduate Applicants To meet Augsburg College admission requirements, you must provide evidence of a sufficient command of both written and spoken English to study college courses conducted entirely in English. Below is a list of the tests and programs Augsburg College accepts as evidence for English proficiency. • • • • TOEFL (http://www.toefl.org/) (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score report of 80 on the Internet-based TOEFL (iBT) with a subscore of 20 on the written and 20 on the speaking sections. (The Augsburg College TOEFL code is 6014.) IELTS (http://www.ielts.org/) (International English Language Testing System) score report of 6.5.

Readmission to the College The last day to receive approval for readmission to the College and register for classes is one business day prior to the start of the term. Pending approval by the graduate program, students who left on probation or who were dismissed from the College must have their readmission application and file reviewed by the program director. (Please consult with individual programs for information regarding readmission process). Admission of International Students Augsburg College graduate programs encourage qualified applicants from other countries to apply. An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a “full course of study” to achieve a specific educational or professional objective at an academic institution in the United States that has been designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of study to such students, and has been enrolled in SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System). A student acquires F-1 status using form I-20, issued by a DHS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in one of two ways: 1) if the student is abroad, by entering the United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a U.S. consulate, or 2) if the student is already in the United States and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the I-20 to USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an application for change of nonimmigrant status. A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer from another DHS-approved school to Augsburg by following the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations. In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students must also comply with the following: A. Foreign Credential Evaluation Augsburg requires foreign credential evaluation for any transcript(s) from an institution outside of the United States. This evaluation should include the following: • Analysis of credentials—to determine if your degree is equivalent to an accredited US bachelor’s degree. • Course-by-course evaluation—to show your complete course listing with credit values and grades received for each course. • Calculation of grade point average—to demonstrate your cumulative grade point average using the standard US grading system, i.e., A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0. • Translation to English (if applicable) The evaluation report must be sent directly to Augsburg’s Office of Admissions. Refer to World Education Services at http://wes.org for direction on transcript evaluation. B. Proof of Financial Support International applicants must provide reliable documentation that they have financial resources adequate to meet expenses for the duration of their academic program, which include tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, health insurance, personal expenses, and living expenses for dependents (if applicable). Funds may come from any dependable source, including scholarships, fellowships, sponsoring agencies, personal funds, or funds from the student’s family. Documentation of scholarships and fellowships may be in the form of an official award letter from the school or sponsoring agency; documentation of personal or family funds should be on bank letterhead stationery, or in the form of a legally binding affidavit. Government Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, or Augsburg’s Financial Sponsorship form can be used to document support being provided by a U.S. citizen or U.S. legal permanent resident. All financial documents such as bank statements must be dated within three months prior to the date of application. Health Insurance All F-1 international students and their dependents (if applicable) are required to have adequate health insurance coverage for the duration of their program. International students will be enrolled in the Augsburg international student plan unless they fill out a waiver verifying proof of coverage through an alternative provider for the same period. Financing Your Education Costs for Graduate Studies Each academic year the Augsburg Board of Regents reviews costs and makes changes as required. The College reserves the right to adjust charges should economic conditions necessitate. For current academic year costs for graduate study, go to the Enrollment Center webpage at www.augsburg.edu/enroll. Financing Your Education Financial assistance is available to graduate students who are enrolled in a total of at least 1.0 course credit per term in any of Augsburg’s graduate programs. Two full-credit courses per term is considered full time. You may be eligible to finance your education through loan programs from the State of Minnesota or the federal government. You may also select from a variety of payment plans available each semester or trimester, including a plan for those who receive company tuition assistance. Financial aid may be used for international programs where credit is offered. Payment Options Various payment plans are available: • Payment in full: Due after registration and before the beginning of the semester/trimester. No finance charge or administrative fee. Finance charge of 8% APR will apply toward any unpaid balance after the start of the term. • Loans, grants, and/or scholarships: If you plan to use the loans that you have been awarded, you must request the funding. These loans include Stafford, PLUS, Alternative/Private, etc. All loan requests (either paper or online) must be received and approved by the lender and certified by Augsburg’s financial aid office, on or before the first day of the term. Company Reimbursement An application for the Employer Reimbursement Payment Plan must be filed once each academic year. Students enrolled in the payment plan will be charged a $20 fee each term unless the account is paid in full by the start of the term or if financial aid will cover all costs for the term. This fee is nonrefundable after the 100% drop date. Final payment on any remaining balance is due 60 days after the end of the course. Accounts not paid in full by the due date will receive a monthly $50 late payment fee and are subject to further collection efforts. The student is responsible for payment if the employer does not pay for any reason. Sources of Financial Aid The Enrollment Center assists students in assessing financial aid eligibility and identifying various sources of aid. Sponsored Scholarships Augsburg actively pursues non-Augsburg funding for special scholarships. The availability of such scholarships may enable the participation of individuals with limited financial means as well as individuals working for volunteer agencies and other organizations not likely to provide tuition reimbursement. Refer to the program sections or contact the programs for more information. Military Discount At Augsburg College, we value the varied professional and academic experiences that our adult students bring to our campus community and are grateful to those who volunteer to serve in the military. Augsburg offers a 10% military tuition discount for the following: • • a member of the military currently serving full or part time (any branch) veteran of any branch of the United States Armed Forces. The military discount is available only to students in the Weekend and Evening College undergraduate program and graduate programs. Contact the Office of Admissions or go to www.augsburg.edu/military for more details. AmeriCorps Scholarships AmeriCorps scholarships are available to full-time graduate students. Contact the Enrollment Center for more details. Tribal and State Indian Scholarships American Indian students who meet federal, state, or tribal requirements may apply for these scholarships. Indian grants generally supplement other sources of financial aid. For assistance in application, contact Augsburg’s American Indian Student Services Program director at 612-330-1144 or your tribal agency. Federal and State Aid Programs The Enrollment Center uses standard, nationally accepted methodology to determine eligibility for federal and state financial aid programs. Federal Stafford Loan Program Common Loan Provisions Borrowing Limits: Graduate students may borrow up to $20,500 per year with an aggregate of $138,500 (undergraduate and graduate). A student may borrow from either the unsubsidized or subsidized programs or a combination of both but cannot exceed the annual loan limits. Repayment Terms: Repayment begins six months after you cease to be enrolled at least half time in an eligible program leading to a degree or certificate. Repayment may extend up to 10 years. Deferments: No interest accrues nor do payments need to be made at any time you are enrolled at least half time or for serving three years in the military, Peace Corps, or VISTA. Contact the Enrollment Center if you think you are eligible for a deferment. Supplemental Loans: If additional financing is needed, the Enrollment Center can offer guidance in selecting the appropriate loan. To Apply for Financial Aid Financial aid information is available at www.augsburg.edu/enroll Applicants must be admitted to Augsburg as regular students or be returning students in good academic standing to be eligible for financial aid. Applicants for graduate study must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To complete and submit the FAFSA electronically, go to www.augsburg.edu/enroll If a student is selected for verification, additional documents will be needed. Students in this situation will be contacted by the Enrollment Center. Financial Policies Refund Schedule Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based on the appropriate refund schedule (except for the minimum charge of $100 to cover administrative costs). Financial aid may also be adjusted for those students who withdraw from the College or drop one or more courses and receive financial assistance. [NOTE: Tuition refunds and financial aid adjustments are not necessarily made on a one-to-one basis. For example, you could receive a 60% tuition refund but have 80% of your financial aid returned. Be sure you understand the financial consequences of making adjustments to your registration.] Students are responsible for canceling courses through the Enrollment Center in order to be eligible for any refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed. The refund schedule is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. All refunds of charges will be applied to the student account 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. Allow two weeks for a refund. The refund is a percentage of the full tuition charged, not a percentage of any deposit paid toward tuition, e.g. deposits made under the employer reimbursement payment plan. For further information, contact the Enrollment Center, 612-330-1046, 1-800-458-1721, enroll@augsburg.edu, or www.augsburg.edu/enroll. Master of Arts in Education We are pleased with your interest in the Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program. Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and elsewhere. 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 themes include relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. You can read about each theme on the following page, but for the MAE program, I want to highlight one of the program themes—leadership. As this program theme suggests, we expect our students to leave our programs as responsive, knowledgeable teachers prepared to exercise leadership in the classroom and, eventually, the school and community. Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through a combination of course content, field experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students will leave our programs as collaborative and capable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. OUR FACULTY Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors, all of whom have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all full-time faculty members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision, volunteer work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do. We value good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers. OUR ACCESSIBILITY We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and personal responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings and weekends to allow you to manage these responsibilities while pursuing your goals. You will need to be available during the weekday for the challenge and responsibility of field experiences, but education coursework is accessible through the weekend and evening schedules. As a student in Augsburg’s Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly qualified teacher—the teacher you can become. Vicki L. Olson, PhD Director, Master of Arts in Education Education Department Mission The mission of the Augsburg Education Department is to develop responsive, knowledgeable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. Program Themes Responsive, knowledgeable teachers understand the dynamic interaction among relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. These four interrelated program themes provide lenses through which we filter our practice. Relationships Learning is relational and communal. Responsive teachers create significant relationships with their students, colleagues, and community partners by developing learning communities. These nurturing learning communities provide a safe, trustworthy place where challenging and engaging questions can be considered. We model the kinds of learning communities that we expect our graduates to create. We share with our students a learning model that connects content, theory, and practice in an ongoing cycle. Students and their learning are the focus for responsive teachers. Therefore we embrace and foster a progressive and constructivist orientation. Reflection and Inquiry Responsive teachers are reflective practitioners who are students of teaching and learning. Providing numerous frameworks through which to filter our experience encourages intentional and thoughtful inquiry. Through field placements, service learning, generative questions, and classroom experiences, students and faculty develop their perspectives about teaching and learning. Critical reflection allows us to examine content, theory, and practice in ways that transform our practice. We think it is important to understand and learn how to manage the many polarities inherent in the teaching and learning process. Diversity and Equity Responsive teachers embrace diversity and intentionally work to ensure that all learners, especially those who for some reason have been marginalized, learn and develop in powerful ways. We continually reflect on what it means to be a “school in the city.” We recognize that each student is unique, shaped by culture and experience; therefore, differentiating instruction is essential. The perspective of multiple intelligences, learning style theory and teaching for understanding help us differentiate and enable us to provide choice, variety, and flexibility. Responsive teachers believe that all students can learn. They also have a sense of efficacy and believe that they can help all students learn. Leadership Responsive teachers recognize that becoming a learning leader is a developmental process, which begins in pre-service education and continues throughout one’s career. Teachers serve as leaders within the classroom, and with experience, increased confidence, and professional development become leaders within the school, the district, and the community. Teacher leaders view themselves as lifelong learners. They become role models committed to their profession as a vocation rather than a job. Emerging teacher leaders keep student learning at the center of their work while advocating for instructional innovation, constructivist curricular development, and systemic change. Master of Arts in Education Conceptual Framework Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion program. The Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their institutions and communities. The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the combined undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students are required to include coursework focused on leadership and study aspects of leadership as part of their degree program. Third, the final project—be it an action research, a leadership application project, or the performance assessment option—gives students the opportunity to study an issue of concern and, supported by research, define a means for addressing it. Three Teacher Leadership Aspirations inform our program. They are as follows. Aspiration 1: Teacher leaders value learning for personal and professional growth. Teacher leaders share knowledge effectively with colleagues. We believe that teacher leaders are comfortable with their knowledge and expertise, neither flaunting it nor hiding it, but sharing it with other generously. They work to build bridges with a full range of colleagues, but they don’t let recalcitrant colleagues stop their own development. They see learning as a continuous endeavor and seek it throughout their careers. Aspiration 2: Teachers leaders think big—beyond the classroom to the broader context of education and community. We believe that teacher leaders see systems and the “big picture” and are able to put their classrooms, schools, and communities into a broader context. They understand the link between policies, politics, and education and participate in change efforts at the macro and micro levels. They seek to work with administrators to establish school and district policy that improves life for everyone. If this involves political action, they are prepared to engage in it. Teacher leaders also understand that teaching and learning are dynamic and that change within school systems is an ever-present phenomenon. They are informed decision-makers predisposed to take on the challenge of change when they think it benefits students, teachers, and/or community. Aspiration 3: Teacher leaders possess courage and an orientation to action. We believe that teacher leaders help others not be afraid. They are able to help people to take warranted risks and step outside their comfort zones. They have the courage to bring people together to see the bigger picture and then help people get there. Teacher leaders accept both power and accountability. They understand that responsibility without power diminishes potential for effectiveness. They believe that accountability is a fair trade for the power to take effective action. They operate from a foundation of self-efficacy. Program Overview The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) is designed to provide a teaching license as part of a master’s degree program. K-12 initial teaching licenses offered at Augsburg include: • Elementary education (K-6), with or without a middle school content area endorsement in math, communication arts, social studies, or science. Also available is the pre-primary endorsement to the elementary license. • Secondary education (5-12 and K-12) in social studies, communication arts/literature, visual arts, health, mathematics, music, and physical education; and 9-12 in biology, chemistry, and physics. * K-12 English as a Second Language • K-12 Special Education: Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities • K-12 Special Education: Learning Disabilities Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE degree through the following four licensure endorsement options: * K-12 English as a Second Language • K-12 Special Education: Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities • K-12 Special Education: Learning Disabilities • K-12 Reading • Pre-Primary All teachers seeking licensure through Augsburg must take and pass all tests required by the state of Minnesota for licensure. The MAE degree is also available without a license but with an education core. See the MAE program director for details. Accreditations and Approvals Augsburg College is accredited by: • The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools • National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education Augsburg College is approved by the Minnesota Board of Teaching. Program Structure The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program is made up of a core of education licensure courses coupled with a degree completion option. Courses in the degree completion phase are drawn from the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) and graduate courses in education. Most students in the MAE program pursue a K-12 teaching license as part of their program plan. The MAE degree is also open to students who do not want a teaching license but do want a background in education and leadership. The MAE degree requires 9.0 or 10.0 Augsburg graduate level courses, depending on the degree completion option. In addition, several courses at the undergraduate level are required for licensure. Only courses taken at the graduate level apply towards the MAE degree. Course Credit A full-credit graduate or undergraduate course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course offered within the weekend schedule meets for 28 hours with the expectation of substantial independent study outside of class. Schedule The majority of the education courses in the MAE licensure and degree programs are offered through the weekend schedule. Some education courses and many undergraduate content area courses are offered on a weekday evening schedule. The MAL degree completion courses are offered primarily through the weekend schedule. Summer session courses are offered weekdays and weekday evenings. The following teaching licenses are available entirely through the weekday evening and weekend schedule: elementary education, middle school and pre-primary specialty area endorsements, 5-12 social studies, 5-12 communication arts, and K-12 art. Additional licenses in the following areas are available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, and weekend schedules: biology, chemistry, health, mathematics, music, physical education, and physics. For these licenses, the education and degree completion courses are taken during the weekend and weekday evenings while some if not all of the content area courses are taken during the weekday. The weekend schedule is comprised of three trimesters spread from early September through late June. In general, classes are held every other weekend. The weekday schedule is comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. Classes offered during the weekday meet one to three times per week. Classes offered jointly between weekday and weekend meet on a weekly basis in the evening. The official academic calendars can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Curriculum— Teaching Licenses K-6 Elementary Education This program is designed to prepare teachers for grades K-6. Optional endorsements in middle school specialty areas of math, science, social studies, and communication arts and in pre-primary can be pursued along with or separately from the K-6 license.

Students spend 20 or more hours per term in field experiences. These experiences occur in K-6 classrooms during the weekday. If more than one course with field experience is taken in a given term, field experience requirements expand accordingly (i.e., two courses with 20 hours of field experience each require a total of 40 hours). Undergraduate Liberal Arts Requirements The number of supporting content area courses required for licensure depends upon the courses completed as part of the bachelor’s degree and/or other coursework. Requirements are determined by Minnesota licensure standards for specific college-level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary licensure. Specific requirements are on file in the Education Department. Minnesota licensure standards allow for optional subject area endorsements in communication arts/literature, social studies, math, and science. The optional pre-primary endorsement is also available. Specific requirements for these endorsements are on file in the Education Department. Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. The Education Department and the content area departments determine the courses that are accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. Courses that are older than five years are judged on a case-bycase basis. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree. The program has limits on the amount and type of courses that are accepted. Grades of B or better are required for transfer consideration. See the MAE program director for approval of graduate coursework accepted in transfer.

Published January 2012 www.augsburg.edu A Greeting from the President I am pleased to know of your interest in Augsburg College’s exciting and innovative graduate programs. You are part of a select and discerning group of professionals who seek to find a graduate program that combines an excellent curriculum, a values-based approach to work, a talented and experienced faculty, and program formats that meet the needs of busy and successful people. Augsburg College’s graduate-level programs in Business Administration, Education, Leadership, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, and Social Work are distinguished by the opportunities they provide students to expand decision-making and strategic skills. Beginning in the fall of 2010, Augsburg is proud to offer its inaugural doctoral degree program—the Doctor in Nursing Practice program. Augsburg College is characterized by a strong mission: Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran church, and shaped by its urban and global settings. For our graduate programs, this mission helps to shape an innovative educational experience that features an expansive perspective on social responsibility, economic realities, business initiative, and environmental sustainability. At Augsburg College, we believe that our distinctive educational purpose is to help you, the individual student, find your calling at work and in the world. The Augsburg graduate programs are designed to offer you quality educational experiences, personal attention, and opportunities to expand your personal and professional talents and skills. We are confident that our graduates are prepared for leadership in our ever-changing global society, the hallmark of an Augsburg degree. Sincerely, Paul C. Pribbenow President, Augsburg College Augsburg College I 3 Greetings from the Academic Affairs Office Welcome to our graduate programs. We are committed to education that prepares people for leadership in their communities and places of work. We believe that the liberal and professional arts and sciences form the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Our locations in the vital metropolitan areas of Minneapolis/St. Paul and Rochester offer exciting and challenging field experiences for courses that include real-life learning through academic internships, experiential education, and cultural enrichment. The Twin Cities and Rochester become extended campuses for Augsburg students. Also, the diversity in our campus community ensures that our graduates are prepared for the range of experiences and perspectives that characterize today’s global environment. When you join Augsburg you become part of a community that offers lifelong learning opportunities in state-of-the-art classrooms, with accessible libraries and dedicated faculty and staff. You join a body of experienced people who quickly form your network of employer connections and career opportunities. We encourage our alumni to become your mentors and build on our city connections through public events, including our convocations and Advent Vespers. All our programs share distinctive qualities, including our commitment and mission to be of service, with one another and to our neighbors. We expect our graduates to have their eyes on the world as they develop their identity as global citizens, with a sense of responsibility to participate in socially- and economically-sustainable development. We hope that at some time during your degree, you’ll explore the opportunities to participate in an international learning experience—for example, travel seminars to our global campuses in Central America, Mexico, and Namibia, and opportunities to meet visiting students and faculty members from our partner institutions in Norway, Germany, Finland, and Slovenia. Inspired by the faith of our Lutheran founders to be inclusive to the early immigrants who came to Augsburg’s doors, we welcome a diversity of cultures and faiths. Although each graduate program has its own “neighborhood” and unique features, we encourage interdisciplinary courses and opportunities for you to study with colleagues across disciplines. We encourage both “horizontal” initiatives—i.e., cross-program collaboration—as well as “vertical” initiatives—engaging our undergraduate students to consider graduate work. This means that sometimes you may be encouraging classmates who are just beginning to imagine a graduate degree. We are companions on your journey in fulfilling your dream of a graduate degree and we cannot wait to meet you. Sincerely, Barbara A.

Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, act ethically and communicate effectively in a global world. The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg mission, informed by the liberal and professional arts and sciences, to serve our neighbors in the heart of the city with faith-based, ethical values. We welcome students from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Also, our programs look to the world through international courses and cultural exchanges. the following graduate programs: Master of Arts in Education (MAE)—see p. 20 Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL)—see p. 34 Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN)—see p. 43 Master of Business Administration (MBA)—see p. 54 Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies—see p. 61 Master of Social Work—see p. 68 Doctor of Nursing Practice—see p. 49 Mission Statement Augsburg is enhanced by its global centers in Namibia, Mexico, and Central America. Students can perform research, take courses, or consult with faculty in those locations to gain new perspectives on their discipline. Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community, committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by our urban and global settings. Augsburg Today Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wis., and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. A short history of Augsburg College can be found at www.augsburg.edu/about/history.html Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of its founders who believed: • Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically and broadly about the world and the work we do in it; • An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and centers of faith; • The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment. The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.” Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society. Degrees Offered Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences is offered on both a traditional weekday schedule and a nontraditional weekend and evening schedule. Augsburg offers Dual degrees: BA in accounting/MAL—see p. 40 MSW/MBA—see p. 58 and 76 MSW/MA in theology, with Luther Seminary—see p. 75 A Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s graduate programs is participation in a community of adult learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages students to make use of all College facilities such as Lindell Library, the Kennedy Center, and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Graduate Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching and service to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories. Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.

Graduate Catalog I 10 FERPA The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Augsburg College understands About Augsburg College that no information other than “directory information” can be released without the written permission of the student. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. For example, this means that faculty or others cannot write letters of support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written permission is given by the student to release non-“directory information.” It is not sufficient to ask for letters of recommendation. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following: Right to inspect and review education records You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg College. You must request to review your education records in writing, with your signature. The College will respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request. Right to request amendment of education records You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records as you requested. Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize disclosure without your permission. One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform Augsburg College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused. “Directory information” includes the following: • The student’s name; • The student’s address; • The student’s telephone number; • The student’s e-mail address; • The student’s date and place of birth; • The student’s major and minor field of study; • The student’s academic class level; • The student’s enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT); • The student’s participation in officially recognized activities and sports; • The student’s degrees and awards received; • The weight and height of members of athletic teams; • The student’s dates of attendance; • The most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student; and • The student’s photograph. Augsburg College will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such information be withheld. The Office of the Registrar must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory Information. If the notice is not received by the registrar prior to Sept. 15 (or within 10 school days of the start of a subsequent term for a new student), it will be assumed that all Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder of the current academic year. A new notice for withholding disclosure must be completed each academic year. Right to complain to FERPA Office You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. S.W., Washington, D.C., 20202-4605, concerning Augsburg’s failure to comply with FERPA. Reporting Educational Information Letters of reference must be requested in writing and explicitly indicate what information may be reported in the letter. Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information” FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without notification of the request or disclosure to the student. Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider very Augsburg College I 11 Academic Programs and Policies Academic Programs and Policies Academic Calendars Most of our graduate programs meet on a trimester calendar. Physician Assistant Studies classes meet on a semester day schedule. The official academic calendars for individual programs can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change. Academic Policies The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges. Academic Honesty A college is a community of learners whose relationship relies on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity and credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg College community. Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a College requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student pledging to abide by the College’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. (See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/) Academic Evaluation Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0 achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for details of field study and special projects. Students must achieve a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. The numeric grade point definition for Graduate Studies is: 4.0 grade points Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 grade points Achieves above acceptable standards 3.0 grade points Meets acceptable standards 2.5 grade points Meets minimum standards 2.0–0.0 grade points Unacceptable performance P Represents work at 3.0 or higher (not counted in grade point average) N No credit (not counted in grade point average) V Audit W Withdrawn I Incomplete X In progress, extended beyond term of registration Withdrawn Status W—Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record Graduate Catalog I 12 Incomplete (I) Grades An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the 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; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Academic Probation Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistan must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Attendance Policy Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements to address the needs of particular courses, individual students, or various learning styles. Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible, students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible. Continuation Policy for Thesis or Final Project (effective in fall 2010) Following the initial registration term for the final (or summative or capstone) project, students will be automatically registered for continuation course 999 each trimester for up to 15 trimesters or until a grade for the completion course is submitted by the project adviser. Continuation course 999 maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, in- Academic Programs and Policies cluding library, AugNet, and parking privileges. This registration will result in a Campus Access Fee of $35 (subject to change as costs increase) per trimester. Doctor of Nursing Practice—For information about course credits and contact hours for the Doctor of Nursing program, see p. 49. Automatic registration will occur for up to five years or 15 terms. At the end of this time, the course grade will change from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project after receiving a failing grade must meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional course work and will need to pay full tuition for all additional courses and to repeat the final project course. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would supersede the previous grade. Degree Requirements Students may withdraw from the College, and thus from continuation course 999 and the final project course, at any point during the continuation period and receive a W notation on the transcript for the final project course. Following a withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students may be subject to additional coursework. An accounts receivable hold will be placed on the student’s account if a collegewide $250 unpaid threshold is reached. The threshold will adjust with the practices of the Student Accounts Office. If a student owes more than the threshold amount, the registrar’s office will not continue to automatically enroll the student in continuation 999. The registrar’s office and the Student Accounts Office will inform the student, the program director, and coordinator that the student must pay the account (including the late fee). At this point coordinators and/or program directors will communicate with the student and the faculty adviser and, if necessary, request that the faculty adviser submit a grade change of N. The student also may elect to withdraw from the College. If the grade change has not been submitted within one term, the program director will submit the grade change of N. This policy is effective as of September 2010. Students will sign a contract outlining the terms of the continuation policy, which will be kept on file with the program and in the Office of the Registrar. Accumulated charges stand for current students, but beginning in fall 2010 students will be charged $35 per term. The Enrollment Center will work with students, as needed, who are currently in the continuation phase and who have accumulated a debt higher than the $250 threshold. Course credit and contact hours A full credit course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course on the trimester schedule meets for approximately 28 contact hours (MSW trimesters meet for 32 hours, and the PA weekday semester schedule is approximately 45 hours) with the expectation of substantial independent and group study offered through the web-based electronic course management system. To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following: • Successful completion of all required courses • A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. • Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed continuation agreement with Augsburg College. Dismissal from the College A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out with the program director. Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the College. Dismissal Appeals Process A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the College’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate negatively affected the outcome. The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard copy of the statement of appeal to the Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate Studies (AVP-Graduate Studies); email is not acceptable. The statement must identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The statement of appeal will be the only basis of the student’s appeal. The AVP-Graduate Studies must receive the student’s statement of appeal within 14 calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the statement of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within 15 business days of the date that the statement was received by the AVP-Graduate Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVP-Graduate Studies. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the program’s response to the student. The AVP-Graduate Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the AVP-Graduate Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty members (one from programs not named in the appeal: Social Work, Education, Physician Assistant Studies, Nursing, Business, Leadership). Augsburg College I 13 Academic Programs and Policies The Program Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s statement of response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures and ask questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each bring a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg College faculty member, staff member, or student). The role of the third party representative is to provide support to the student or the program representative, not to serve as an advocate during the meeting. Dropping Courses or Withdrawing Students who enroll in courses but later decide not to attend must formally drop their courses through the registrar’s office prior to the start of classes to avoid being charged for those courses. Students who do not properly drop courses will be responsible for the tuition, regardless of non-attendance. Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or in person at the Enrollment Center during hours of operation. If you need assistance with this, contact your program faculty at least two days in advance of the start of classes. Independent Study Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special independent study registration form is required and is available at the Enrollment Center. Terms of Non-attendance Students who interrupt their program enrollment for longer than one semester or three trimesters must readmit to the College and program to resume their degree program. For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their adviser and obtain the advice of their director. Evaluation of Transfer Credit Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide appropriate documentation regarding previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university and graded 3.0/B or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program requirements at Augsburg. Graduate Catalog I 14 The maximum number of course credits that can be transferred to these program is as follows: Master of Arts in Education (2.0) Master of Arts in Leadership (2.0) Master of Arts in Nursing (3.0) Master of Business Administration (6.0) Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator) Master of Social Work (8.0) Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter hours. Therefore, transfer credits that are reported to Augsburg as semester or quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by dividing by four or six respectively. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded on the student’s transcript. Grades and gradepoints from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Student Rights The College has adopted a statement of student rights and responsibilities and has provided for due process in the matter of disciplinary action, grievances, and grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg Student Guide, at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide. Students have a right to experience education without discrimination. Grievance Procedures Involving Augsburg College Faculty Members and Students Part I—Introduction/Preface Augsburg College is committed to a policy of treating fairly all members of the college community in regard to their personal and professional concerns. However, times do occur in which students think they have been mistreated. This procedure is provided in order to ensure that students are aware of the way in which their problems with faculty members can be resolved informally and to provide a more formal conciliation process when needed. Each student must be given adequate opportunity to bring problems to the attention of the faculty with the assurance that each will be given fair treatment. The faculty member must be fully informed of the allegations and given an opportunity to respond to them in a fair and reasonable manner. Definition of Grievance A grievance is defined as dissatisfaction occurring when a student believes that any conduct or condition affecting her/him is unjust or inequitable, or creates unnecessary hardship. Such grievances include, but are not limited to a violation, misinterpretation, or inequitable application of an academic rule, regulation, or policy of the College or prejudicial, capricious, or manifestly unjust academic evaluation. Academic Programs and Policies College policies and procedures that do not come within the scope of the Grievance Procedures are the sexual harassment policy, the sexual violence policy, the Committee on Financial Petitions, Discipline Process, and Academic Standing. Time Limits Time limits will include only business days (M–F) for the program in which the student was enrolled. (Weekends, and vacation days are not included; summer may not be included depending on the student’s program.) Part II—Informal Process It is always the student’s responsibility to know these procedures and timelines and to follow them. A. Any time a student feels that she/he has been mistreated by a faculty member, the student should contact the faculty member to discuss the problem and attempt to resolve it. B. If no mutually satisfactory solution can be reached with the faculty member or if, in unusual circumstances, the student prefers not to confer with the faculty member, the student should discuss the problem with the department chairperson of the faculty member and attempt resolution of the problem. C. If the problem cannot be resolved in discussions with the faculty member or department chairperson, or if the faculty member and the department chairperson are the same individual, the student may contact the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. • In unusual circumstances, the time limit may be extended by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. A grievant or respondent must submit a written request for such extension before the end of the time limit. If the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College thinks the extension is warranted, the Dean will notify all concerned persons in writing. E. If the grievance has been resolved, either by agreement or by expiration of the time limits, a copy of the informal grievance and statements of the resolution will be kept by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College for one year. Neither a copy of nor any reference to the grievance will be placed in the personnel file of the respondent. If these informal discussions do not resolve the problem to the satisfaction of the student, a more formal conciliation procedure is available in Part III of this document. Note: A student must file a written grievance, per below, within five days after completion of the informal process Part III—Formal Process Preface If a student has a grievance with a faculty member that has not been resolved through the Informal Grievance Process described in Part II of this document, the student may then seek resolution through formal procedures. For a complete copy of the procedures, contact the dean’s office, Academic Affairs. D. The student must begin the Informal Grievance process within 15 days of the conduct giving rise to the grievance, by submitting an Informal Grievance Form to the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. • The time limit to begin the Informal Grievance process for a grade appeal will be 30 days from the last published finals date for the relevant term. It is the responsibility of the student to maintain a correct and current address on file with the registrar. • If the student could not reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct when it occurred, the student will have 15 days to file the grievance from the date on which the student could reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct or condition that is the basis for the grievance. It is the responsibility of the student to establish the reasonableness of such non–awareness. The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College will determine if this paragraph applies to a grievant. • The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College and the student must ensure the informal process is completed in 20 days. (See Part I for definition of time limits.)

An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a “full course of study” to achieve a specific educational or professional objective at an academic institution in the United States that has been designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of study to such students, and has been enrolled in SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System). A student acquires F-1 status using form I-20, issued by a DHS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in one of two ways: 1) if the student is abroad, by entering the United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a U.S. consulate, or 2) if the student is already in the United States and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the I-20 to USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an application for change of nonimmigrant status. A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer from another DHS-approved school to Augsburg by following the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations. In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students must also comply with the following: A. Foreign Credential Evaluation Augsburg requires foreign credential evaluation for any transcript(s) from an institution outside of the United States. This evaluation should include the following: • Analysis of credentials—to determine if your degree is equivalent to an accredited U.S. bachelor’s degree. • Course-by-course evaluation—to show your complete course listing with credit values and grades received for each course. • Calculation of grade point average—to demonstrate your Graduate Admissions cumulative grade point average using the standard U.S. grading system, i.e., A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0. • Translation to English (if applicable) The evaluation report must be sent directly to Augsburg’s Adult and Graduate Admissions Office. Refer to World Education Services at http://wes.org for direction on transcript evaluation. B. Proof of Financial Support International applicants must provide reliable documentation that they have financial resources adequate to meet expenses for the duration of their academic program, which include tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, health insurance, personal expenses, and living expenses for dependents (if applicable). Funds may come from any dependable source, including scholarships, fellowships, sponsoring agencies, personal funds, or funds from the student’s family. Documentation of scholarships and fellowships may be in the form of an official award letter from the school or sponsoring agency; documentation of personal or family funds should be on bank letterhead stationery, or in the form of a legally binding affidavit. Government Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, or Augsburg’s Financial Sponsorship form can be used to document support being provided by a U.S. citizen or U.S. legal permanent resident. All financial documents such as bank statements must be dated within three months prior to the date of application. Health Insurance All F-1 international students and their dependents (if applicable) are required to have adequate health insurance coverage for the duration of their program. International students will be enrolled in the Augsburg international student plan unless they fill out a waiver verifying proof of coverage through an alternative provider for the same period.

Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and elsewhere. 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 themes include relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. You can read about each theme on the following page, but for the MAE program, I want to highlight one of the program themes—leadership. As this program theme suggests, we expect our students to leave our programs as responsive, knowledgeable teachers prepared to exercise leadership in the classroom and, eventually, the school and community. Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through a combination of course content, field experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students will leave our programs as collaborative and capable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. OUR FACULTY Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors, all of whom have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all fulltime faculty members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision, volunteer work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do. We value good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers. OUR ACCESSIBILITY We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and personal responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings and weekends to allow you to manage these responsibilities while pursuing your goals. You will need to be available during the weekday for the challenge and responsibility of field experiences, but education coursework is accessible through the weekend and evening schedules. As a student in Augsburg’s Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly qualified teacher—the teacher you can become. Vicki L. Olson, PhD Director, Master of Arts in Education Graduate Catalog I 20 Master of Arts in Education Education Department Mission The mission of the Augsburg Education Department is to develop responsive, knowledgeable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. Program Themes Responsive, knowledgeable teachers understand the dynamic interaction among relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. These four interrelated program themes provide lenses through which we filter our practice. Relationships Learning is relational and communal. Responsive teachers create significant relationships with their students, colleagues, and community partners by developing learning communities. These nurturing learning communities provide a safe, trustworthy place where challenging and engaging questions can be considered. We model the kinds of learning communities that we expect our graduates to create. We share with our students a learning model that connects content, theory, and practice in an ongoing cycle. Students and their learning are the focus for responsive teachers. Therefore we embrace and foster a progressive and constructivist orientation. Reflection and Inquiry Responsive teachers are reflective practitioners who are students of teaching and learning. Providing numerous frameworks through which to filter our experience encourages intentional and thoughtful inquiry. Through field placements, service learning, generative questions, and classroom experiences, students and faculty develop their perspectives about teaching and learning. Critical reflection allows us to examine content, theory, and practice in ways that transform our practice. We think it is important to understand and learn how to manage the many polarities inherent in the teaching and learning process. Diversity and Equity Responsive teachers embrace diversity and intentionally work to ensure that all learners, especially those who for some reason have been marginalized, learn and develop in powerful ways. We continually reflect on what it means to be a “school in the city.” We recognize that each student is unique, shaped by culture and experience; therefore, differentiating instruction is essential. The perspective of multiple intelligences, learning style theory and teaching for understanding help us differentiate and enable us to provide choice, variety, and flexibility. Responsive teachers believe that all students can learn. They also have a sense of efficacy and believe that they can help all students learn. Leadership Responsive teachers recognize that becoming a learning leader is a developmental process, which begins in pre-service edu- cation and continues throughout one’s career. Teachers serve as leaders within the classroom, and with experience, increased confidence, and professional development become leaders within the school, the district, and the community. Teacher leaders view themselves as lifelong learners. They become role models committed to their profession as a vocation rather than a job. Emerging teacher leaders keep student learning at the center of their work while advocating for instructional innovation, constructivist curricular development, and systemic change. Master of Arts in Education Conceptual Framework Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion programs. The Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their institutions and communities. The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the combined undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students are required to include coursework focused on leadership and study aspects of leadership as part of their degree program. Third, the final project—be it an action research, a leadership application project, or the performance assessment course—gives students the opportunity to study an issue of concern and, supported by research, define a means for addressing it. Program Overview The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) is designed to provide a teaching license as part of a master’s degree program. K-12 initial teaching licenses offered at Augsburg include: • Elementary education (K-6), with or without a middle school specialty area endorsement in math, communication arts, social studies, or science. Also available is the pre-primary endorsement to the elementary license. • Secondary education (5-12 and K-12) in social studies, communication arts/literature, visual arts, health, mathematics, music, and physical education; and 9-12 in biology, chemistry, and physics. • K-12 special education, emotional and behavioral disabilities • K-12 special education, learning disabilities Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE degree through the following four licensure endorsement options: • Pre-Kindergarten endorsement • K-12 special education: emotional and behavioral disabilities • K-12 special education: learning disabilities • K-12 reading endorsement (This program is under revision. Consult the Education Department for current status.) Augsburg College I 21 Master of Arts in Education All teachers seeking licensure through Augsburg must take and pass all tests required by the state of Minnesota for licensure. The MAE degree is also available without a license but with an education core. Accreditations and Approvals Augsburg College is accredited by: • The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools • National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education Augsburg College is approved by the Minnesota Board of Teaching. For a complete list of accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see page 9. area endorsements, 5-12 social studies, 5-12 communication arts, and K-12 art. Additional licenses in the following areas are available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, and weekend schedules: biology, chemistry, health, mathematics, music, physical education, and physics. For these licenses, the education and degree completion courses are taken during the weekend and weekday evenings while some if not all of the content area courses are taken during the weekday. The weekend schedule is comprised of three trimesters spread from early September through late June. In general, classes are held every other weekend. The weekday schedule is comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. Classes offered during the weekday meet two or three times per week. Classes offered jointly between weekday and weekend meet on a weekly basis in the evening. The official academic calendars can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Program Structure The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program is made up of a core of education licensure courses coupled with a degree completion option. Courses in the degree completion phase are drawn from the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) and graduate courses in education. Most students in the MAE program pursue a K-12 teaching license as part of their program plan. The MAE degree is also open to students who do not want a teaching license but do want a background in education and leadership. The MAE degree requires 9.0 or 10.0 Augsburg graduate level courses, depending on the degree completion option. In addition, several courses at the undergraduate level are required for licensure. Only courses taken at the graduate level apply towards the MAE degree. Course Credit A full-credit graduate or undergraduate course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course offered within the weekend schedule meets for 28 hours with the expectation of substantial independent study outside of class. Schedule The majority of the education courses in the MAE licensure and degree programs are offered through the weekend schedule. Some education courses and many undergraduate content area courses are offered on a weekday evening schedule. The MAL degree completion courses are offered primarily through the weekend schedule. Summer session courses are offered weekdays and weekday evenings. The following teaching licenses are available entirely through the weekday evening and weekend schedule: elementary education, middle school and preprimary specialty Graduate Catalog I 22 Curriculum—Teaching Licenses K-6 Elementary Education This program is designed to prepare teachers for grades K-6. Optional endorsements in middle school specialty areas of math, science, social studies, and communication arts and in pre-kindergarten can be pursued along with or separately from the K-6 license.

K-12 licenses prepare teachers to teach a content area across elementary, middle school, and high school. Licenses for grades 5- 12 prepare teachers to teach at the middle and high school levels. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet MAE admissions criteria. The following content area majors are offered almost entirely on weekends and weekday evenings: communication arts/literature, history or economics or psychology or sociology (all for social studies), art. Students seeking 5–12 licensure in social studies must complete a broad-based core of courses in the social studies in addition to a social science major. Education courses for these licenses are also taken during weekends and weekday evenings. The following content area majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry, physics, health, physical education, music, and mathematics. Students seeking licensure in any of these areas will likely need to take additional content courses in the weekday schedule. Students can obtain a 9–12 license in physics, chemistry, or biology and have the option of adding the 5–8 general science to the 9–12 license. Students also can obtain the 5–8 general science license without the 9–12 license. Education courses for these licenses are taken during weekends and weekday evenings.

Published December 2010 www.augsburg.edu A Greeting from the President I am pleased to know of your interest in Augsburg College’s exciting and innovative graduate programs. You are part of a select and discerning group of professionals who seek to find a graduate program that combines an excellent curriculum, a values-based approach to work, a talented and experienced faculty, and program formats that meet the needs of busy and successful people. Augsburg College’s graduate-level programs in Business Administration, Education, Leadership, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, and Social Work are distinguished by the opportunities they provide students to expand decision-making and strategic skills. Beginning in the fall of 2010, Augsburg is proud to offer its inaugural doctoral degree program—the Doctor in Nursing Practice program. Augsburg College is characterized by a strong mission: Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran church, and shaped by its urban and global settings. For our graduate programs, this mission helps to shape an innovative educational experience that features an expansive perspective on social responsibility, economic realities, business initiative, and environmental sustainability. At Augsburg College, we believe that our distinctive educational purpose is to help you, the individual student, find your calling at work and in the world. The Augsburg graduate programs are designed to offer you quality educational experiences, personal attention, and opportunities to expand your personal and professional talents and skills. We are confident that our graduates are prepared for leadership in our ever-changing global society, the hallmark of an Augsburg degree. Sincerely, Paul C. Pribbenow President, Augsburg College Augsburg College I 3 Greetings from the Academic Affairs Office Welcome to our graduate programs. We are committed to education that prepares people for leadership in their communities and places of work. We believe that the liberal and professional arts and sciences form the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Our locations in the vital metropolitan areas of Minneapolis/St. Paul and Rochester offer exciting and challenging field experiences for courses that include real-life learning through academic internships, experiential education, and cultural enrichment. The Twin Cities and Rochester become extended campuses for Augsburg students. Also, the diversity in our campus community ensures that our graduates are prepared for the range of experiences and perspectives that characterize today’s global environment. When you join Augsburg you become part of a community that offers lifelong learning opportunities in state-of-the-art classrooms, with accessible libraries and dedicated faculty and staff. You join a body of experienced people who quickly form your network of employer connections and career opportunities. We encourage our alumni to become your mentors and build on our city connections through public events, including our convocations and Advent Vespers. All our programs share distinctive qualities, including our commitment and mission to be of service, with one another and to our neighbors. We expect our graduates to have their eyes on the world as they develop their identity as global citizens, with a sense of responsibility to participate in socially- and economically-sustainable development. We hope that at some time during your degree, you’ll explore the opportunities to participate in an international learning experience—for example, travel seminars to our global campuses in Central America, Mexico, and Namibia, and opportunities to meet visiting students and faculty members from our partner institutions in Norway, Germany, Finland, and Slovenia. Inspired by the faith of our Lutheran founders to be inclusive to the early immigrants who came to Augsburg’s doors, we welcome a diversity of cultures and faiths. Although each graduate program has its own “neighborhood” and unique features, we encourage interdisciplinary courses and opportunities for you to study with colleagues across disciplines. We encourage both “horizontal” initiatives—i.e., cross-program collaboration—as well as “vertical” initiatives—engaging our undergraduate students to consider graduate work. This means that sometimes you may be encouraging classmates who are just beginning to imagine a graduate degree. We are companions on your journey in fulfilling your dream of a graduate degree and we cannot wait to meet you. Sincerely, Barbara A.

Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, act ethically and communicate effectively in a global world. The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg mission, informed by the liberal and professional arts and sciences, to serve our neighbors in the heart of the city with faith-based, ethical values. We welcome students from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Also, our programs look to the world through international courses and cultural exchanges. the following graduate programs: Master of Arts in Education (MAE)—see p. 20 Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL)—see p. 34 Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN)—see p. 43 Master of Business Administration (MBA)—see p. 54 Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies—see p. 61 Master of Social Work—see p. 68 Doctor of Nursing Practice—see p. 49 Mission Statement Augsburg is enhanced by its global centers in Namibia, Mexico, and Central America. Students can perform research, take courses, or consult with faculty in those locations to gain new perspectives on their discipline. Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community, committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by our urban and global settings. Augsburg Today Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wis., and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. A short history of Augsburg College can be found at www.augsburg.edu/about/history.html Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of its founders who believed: • Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically and broadly about the world and the work we do in it; • An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and centers of faith; • The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment. The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.” Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society. Degrees Offered Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences is offered on both a traditional weekday schedule and a nontraditional weekend and evening schedule. Augsburg offers Dual degrees: BA in accounting/MAL—see p. 40 MSW/MBA—see p. 58 and 76 MSW/MA in theology, with Luther Seminary—see p. 75 A Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s graduate programs is participation in a community of adult learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages students to make use of all College facilities such as Lindell Library, the Kennedy Center, and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Graduate Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching and service to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories. Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.

Augsburg College understands About Augsburg College that no information other than “directory information” can be released without the written permission of the student. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. For example, this means that faculty or others cannot write letters of support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written permission is given by the student to release non-“directory information.” It is not sufficient to ask for letters of recommendation. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following: Right to inspect and review education records You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg College. You must request to review your education records in writing, with your signature. The College will respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request. Right to request amendment of education records You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records as you requested. Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize disclosure without your permission. One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform Augsburg College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused. “Directory information” includes the following: • The student’s name; • The student’s address; • The student’s telephone number; • The student’s e-mail address; • The student’s date and place of birth; • The student’s major and minor field of study; • The student’s academic class level; • The student’s enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT); • The student’s participation in officially recognized activities and sports; • The student’s degrees and awards received; • The weight and height of members of athletic teams; • The student’s dates of attendance; • The most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student; and • The student’s photograph. Augsburg College will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such information be withheld. The Office of the Registrar must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory Information. If the notice is not received by the registrar prior to Sept. 15 (or within 10 school days of the start of a subsequent term for a new student), it will be assumed that all Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder of the current academic year. A new notice for withholding disclosure must be completed each academic year. Right to complain to FERPA Office You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. S.W., Washington, D.C., 20202-4605, concerning Augsburg’s failure to comply with FERPA. Reporting Educational Information Letters of reference must be requested in writing and explicitly indicate what information may be reported in the letter. Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information” FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without notification of the request or disclosure to the student. Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider very Augsburg College I 11 Academic Programs and Policies Academic Programs and Policies Academic Calendars Most of our graduate programs meet on a trimester calendar. Physician Assistant Studies classes meet on a semester day schedule. The official academic calendars for individual programs can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change. Academic Policies The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges. Academic Honesty A college is a community of learners whose relationship relies on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity and credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg College community. Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a College requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student pledging to abide by the College’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. (See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/) Academic Evaluation Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0 achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for details of field study and special projects. Students must achieve a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. The numeric grade point definition for Graduate Studies is: 4.0 grade points Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 grade points Achieves above acceptable standards 3.0 grade points Meets acceptable standards 2.5 grade points Meets minimum standards 2.0–0.0 grade points Unacceptable performance P Represents work at 3.0 or higher (not counted in grade point average) N No credit (not counted in grade point average) V Audit W Withdrawn I Incomplete X In progress, extended beyond term of registration Withdrawn Status W—Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record Graduate Catalog I 12 Incomplete (I) Grades An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the 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; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Academic Probation Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistan must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Attendance Policy Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements to address the needs of particular courses, individual students, or various learning styles. Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible, students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible. Continuation Policy for Thesis or Final Project (effective in fall 2010) Following the initial registration term for the final (or summative or capstone) project, students will be automatically registered for continuation course 999 each trimester for up to 15 trimesters or until a grade for the completion course is submitted by the project adviser. Continuation course 999 maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, in- Academic Programs and Policies cluding library, AugNet, and parking privileges. This registration will result in a Campus Access Fee of $35 (subject to change as costs increase) per trimester. Doctor of Nursing Practice—For information about course credits and contact hours for the Doctor of Nursing program, see p. 49. Automatic registration will occur for up to five years or 15 terms. At the end of this time, the course grade will change from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project after receiving a failing grade must meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional course work and will need to pay full tuition for all additional courses and to repeat the final project course. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would supersede the previous grade. Degree Requirements Students may withdraw from the College, and thus from continuation course 999 and the final project course, at any point during the continuation period and receive a W notation on the transcript for the final project course. Following a withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students may be subject to additional coursework. An accounts receivable hold will be placed on the student’s account if a collegewide $250 unpaid threshold is reached. The threshold will adjust with the practices of the Student Accounts Office. If a student owes more than the threshold amount, the registrar’s office will not continue to automatically enroll the student in continuation 999. The registrar’s office and the Student Accounts Office will inform the student, the program director, and coordinator that the student must pay the account (including the late fee). At this point coordinators and/or program directors will communicate with the student and the faculty adviser and, if necessary, request that the faculty adviser submit a grade change of N. The student also may elect to withdraw from the College. If the grade change has not been submitted within one term, the program director will submit the grade change of N. This policy is effective as of September 2010. Students will sign a contract outlining the terms of the continuation policy, which will be kept on file with the program and in the Office of the Registrar. Accumulated charges stand for current students, but beginning in fall 2010 students will be charged $35 per term. The Enrollment Center will work with students, as needed, who are currently in the continuation phase and who have accumulated a debt higher than the $250 threshold. Course credit and contact hours A full credit course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course on the trimester schedule meets for approximately 28 contact hours (MSW trimesters meet for 32 hours, and the PA weekday semester schedule is approximately 45 hours) with the expectation of substantial independent and group study offered through the web-based electronic course management system. To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following: • Successful completion of all required courses • A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. • Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed continuation agreement with Augsburg College. Dismissal from the College A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out with the program director. Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the College. Dismissal Appeals Process A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the College’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate negatively affected the outcome. The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard copy of the statement of appeal to the Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate Studies (AVP-Graduate Studies); email is not acceptable. The statement must identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The statement of appeal will be the only basis of the student’s appeal. The AVP-Graduate Studies must receive the student’s statement of appeal within 14 calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the statement of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within 15 business days of the date that the statement was received by the AVP-Graduate Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVP-Graduate Studies. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the program’s response to the student. The AVP-Graduate Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the AVP-Graduate Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty members (one from programs not named in the appeal: Social Work, Education, Physician Assistant Studies, Nursing, Business, Leadership). Augsburg College I 13 Academic Programs and Policies The Program Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s statement of response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures and ask questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each bring a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg College faculty member, staff member, or student). The role of the third party representative is to provide support to the student or the program representative, not to serve as an advocate during the meeting. Dropping Courses or Withdrawing Students who enroll in courses but later decide not to attend must formally drop their courses through the registrar’s office prior to the start of classes to avoid being charged for those courses. Students who do not properly drop courses will be responsible for the tuition, regardless of non-attendance. Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or in person at the Enrollment Center during hours of operation. If you need assistance with this, contact your program faculty at least two days in advance of the start of classes. Independent Study Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special independent study registration form is required and is available at the Enrollment Center. Terms of Non-attendance Students who interrupt their program enrollment for longer than one semester or three trimesters must readmit to the College and program to resume their degree program. For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their adviser and obtain the advice of their director. Evaluation of Transfer Credit Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide appropriate documentation regarding previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university and graded 3.0/B or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program requirements at Augsburg. Graduate Catalog I 14 The maximum number of course credits that can be transferred to these program is as follows: Master of Arts in Education (2.0) Master of Arts in Leadership (2.0) Master of Arts in Nursing (3.0) Master of Business Administration (6.0) Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator) Master of Social Work (8.0) Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter hours. Therefore, transfer credits that are reported to Augsburg as semester or quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by dividing by four or six respectively. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded on the student’s transcript. Grades and gradepoints from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Student Rights The College has adopted a statement of student rights and responsibilities and has provided for due process in the matter of disciplinary action, grievances, and grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg Student Guide, at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide. Students have a right to experience education without discrimination. Grievance Procedures Involving Augsburg College Faculty Members and Students Part I—Introduction/Preface Augsburg College is committed to a policy of treating fairly all members of the college community in regard to their personal and professional concerns. However, times do occur in which students think they have been mistreated. This procedure is provided in order to ensure that students are aware of the way in which their problems with faculty members can be resolved informally and to provide a more formal conciliation process when needed. Each student must be given adequate opportunity to bring problems to the attention of the faculty with the assurance that each will be given fair treatment. The faculty member must be fully informed of the allegations and given an opportunity to respond to them in a fair and reasonable manner. Definition of Grievance A grievance is defined as dissatisfaction occurring when a student believes that any conduct or condition affecting her/him is unjust or inequitable, or creates unnecessary hardship. Such grievances include, but are not limited to a violation, misinterpretation, or inequitable application of an academic rule, regulation, or policy of the College or prejudicial, capricious, or manifestly unjust academic evaluation. Academic Programs and Policies College policies and procedures that do not come within the scope of the Grievance Procedures are the sexual harassment policy, the sexual violence policy, the Committee on Financial Petitions, Discipline Process, and Academic Standing. Time Limits Time limits will include only business days (M–F) for the program in which the student was enrolled. (Weekends, and vacation days are not included; summer may not be included depending on the student’s program.) Part II—Informal Process It is always the student’s responsibility to know these procedures and timelines and to follow them. A. Any time a student feels that she/he has been mistreated by a faculty member, the student should contact the faculty member to discuss the problem and attempt to resolve it. B. If no mutually satisfactory solution can be reached with the faculty member or if, in unusual circumstances, the student prefers not to confer with the faculty member, the student should discuss the problem with the department chairperson of the faculty member and attempt resolution of the problem. C. If the problem cannot be resolved in discussions with the faculty member or department chairperson, or if the faculty member and the department chairperson are the same individual, the student may contact the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. • In unusual circumstances, the time limit may be extended by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. A grievant or respondent must submit a written request for such extension before the end of the time limit. If the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College thinks the extension is warranted, the Dean will notify all concerned persons in writing. E. If the grievance has been resolved, either by agreement or by expiration of the time limits, a copy of the informal grievance and statements of the resolution will be kept by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College for one year. Neither a copy of nor any reference to the grievance will be placed in the personnel file of the respondent. If these informal discussions do not resolve the problem to the satisfaction of the student, a more formal conciliation procedure is available in Part III of this document. Note: A student must file a written grievance, per below, within five days after completion of the informal process Part III—Formal Process Preface If a student has a grievance with a faculty member that has not been resolved through the Informal Grievance Process described in Part II of this document, the student may then seek resolution through formal procedures. For a complete copy of the procedures, contact the dean’s office, Academic Affairs. D. The student must begin the Informal Grievance process within 15 days of the conduct giving rise to the grievance, by submitting an Informal Grievance Form to the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. • The time limit to begin the Informal Grievance process for a grade appeal will be 30 days from the last published finals date for the relevant term. It is the responsibility of the student to maintain a correct and current address on file with the registrar. • If the student could not reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct when it occurred, the student will have 15 days to file the grievance from the date on which the student could reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct or condition that is the basis for the grievance. It is the responsibility of the student to establish the reasonableness of such non–awareness. The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College will determine if this paragraph applies to a grievant. • The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College and the student must ensure the informal process is completed in 20 days. (See Part I for definition of time limits.) Augsburg College I 15 Graduate Admissions Graduate Admissions Admission to Augsburg College Readmission to the College All graduate programs require students to have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited four-year institution. The last day to receive approval for readmission to the College and register for classes is one business day prior to the start of the term. Pending approval by the graduate program, students who left on probation or who were dismissed from the College must have their readmission application and file reviewed by the program director. (Please consult with individual programs for information regarding readmission process). All graduate students must submit completed application forms that can be downloaded from each individual program’s web page, as listed below. Each graduate program also has additional program requirements, which may include coursework, professional experience, testing, etc. See the program sections for these additional requirements.

In order to receive an F-1 visa, federal regulations require international applicants to be sufficiently proficient in English to pursue a full course of study. To fulfill this requirement Augsburg graduate programs require international applicants to submit an official score report from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 100 (iBT), 250 (CBT) or 600 (PBT). The TOEFL is waived for applicants who have a four-year degree from a U.S. institution with a minimum of two years of successful academic work completed in the U.S. (seven or more courses). Graduate Catalog I 16 Admission of International Students Augsburg College graduate programs encourage qualified applicants from other countries to apply. An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a “full course of study” to achieve a specific educational or professional objective at an academic institution in the United States that has been designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of study to such students, and has been enrolled in SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System). A student acquires F-1 status using form I-20, issued by a DHS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in one of two ways: 1) if the student is abroad, by entering the United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a U.S. consulate, or 2) if the student is already in the United States and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the I-20 to USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an application for change of nonimmigrant status. A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer from another DHS-approved school to Augsburg by following the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations. In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students must also comply with the following: A. Foreign Credential Evaluation Augsburg requires foreign credential evaluation for any transcript(s) from an institution outside of the United States. This evaluation should include the following: • Analysis of credentials—to determine if your degree is equivalent to an accredited U.S. bachelor’s degree. • Course-by-course evaluation—to show your complete course listing with credit values and grades received for each course. • Calculation of grade point average—to demonstrate your cumulative grade point average using the standard U.S. grading system, i.e., A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0. • Translation to English (if applicable) Graduate Admissions The evaluation report must be sent directly to Augsburg’s Adult and Graduate Admissions Office. Refer to World Education Services at http://wes.org for direction on transcript evaluation. B. Proof of Financial Support International applicants must provide reliable documentation that they have financial resources adequate to meet expenses for the duration of their academic program, which include tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, health insurance, personal expenses, and living expenses for dependents (if applicable). Funds may come from any dependable source, including scholarships, fellowships, sponsoring agencies, personal funds, or funds from the student’s family. Documentation of scholarships and fellowships may be in the form of an official award letter from the school or sponsoring agency; documentation of personal or family funds should be on bank letterhead stationery, or in the form of a legally binding affidavit. Government Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, or Augsburg’s Financial Sponsorship form can be used to document support being provided by a U.S. citizen or U.S. legal permanent resident. All financial documents such as bank statements must be dated within three months prior to the date of application. Health Insurance All F-1 international students and their dependents (if applicable) are required to have adequate health insurance coverage for the duration of their program. International students will be enrolled in the Augsburg international student plan unless they fill out a waiver verifying proof of coverage through an alternative provider for the same period. Augsburg College I 17 Financing Your Education Financing Your Education Costs for Graduate Studies Sponsored Scholarships Each academic year the Augsburg Board of Regents reviews costs and makes changes as required. The College reserves the right to adjust charges should economic conditions necessitate. Augsburg actively pursues non-Augsburg funding for special scholarships. The availability of such scholarships may enable the participation of individuals with limited financial means as well as individuals working for volunteer agencies and other organizations not likely to provide tuition reimbursement. Refer to the program sections or contact the programs for more information. For current academic year costs for graduate study, go to the Enrollment Center webpage at www.augsburg.edu/enroll. Financing Your Education Financial assistance is available to graduate students who are enrolled in a total of at least 1.0 course credit per term in any of Augsburg’s graduate programs. Two full-credit courses per term is considered full time. You may be eligible to finance your education through loan programs from the State of Minnesota or the federal government. You may also select from a variety of payment plans available each semester or trimester, including a plan for those who receive company tuition assistance. Financial aid may be used for international programs where credit is offered. Payment Options Various payment plans are available: • Payment in full: Due after registration and before the beginning of the semester/trimester. No finance charge or administrative fee. Finance charge of 8% APR will apply toward any unpaid balance after the start of the term. • Loans, grants, and/or scholarships: If you plan to use the loans that you have been awarded, you must request the funding. These loans include Stafford, PLUS, Alternative/Private, etc. All loan requests (either paper or online) must be received and approved by the lender and certified by Augsburg’s financial aid office, on or before the first day of the term. Company Reimbursement An application for the Employer Reimbursement Payment Plan must be filed once each academic year. Students enrolled in the payment plan will be charged a $20 fee each term unless the account is paid in full by the start of the term or if financial aid will cover all costs for the term. This fee is non-refundable after the 100% drop date. Final payment on any remaining balance is due 60 days after the end of the course. Accounts not paid in full by the due date will receive a monthly $50 late payment fee and are subject to further collection efforts. The student is responsible for payment if the employer does not pay for any reason. Sources of Financial Aid The Enrollment Center assists students in assessing financial aid eligibility and identifying various sources of aid. Graduate Catalog I 18 Military Discount At Augsburg College, we value the varied professional and academic experiences that our adult students bring to our campus community and are grateful to those who volunteer to serve in the military. Augsburg offers a 10% military tuition discount for the following: • a member of the military currently serving full or part time (any branch) • veteran of any branch of the United States Armed Forces. The military discount is available only to students in the Augsburg for Adults undergraduate and graduate programs.

Indian grants generally supplement other sources of financial aid. For assistance in application, contact Augsburg’s American Indian Student Services Program director at 612-330-1144 or your tribal agency. Federal and State Aid Programs The Enrollment Center uses standard, nationally accepted methodology to determine eligibility for federal and state financial aid programs. Federal Stafford Loan Program Common Loan Provisions Borrowing Limits: Graduate students may borrow up to $20,500 per year with an aggregate of $138,500 (undergraduate and graduate). A student may borrow from either the unsubsidized or subsidized programs or a combination of both but cannot exceed the annual loan limits. Repayment Terms: Repayment begins six months after you cease to be enrolled at least half time in an eligible program leading to a degree or certificate. Repayment may extend up to 10 years. Financing Your Education Deferments: No interest accrues nor do payments need to be made at any time you are enrolled at least half time or for serving three years in the military, Peace Corps, or VISTA. Contact the Enrollment Center if you think you are eligible for a deferment. For further information, contact the Enrollment Center, 612330-1046, 1-800-458-1721, enroll@augsburg.edu, or www.augsburg.edu/enroll. Supplemental Loans: If additional financing is needed, the Enrollment Center can offer guidance in selecting the appropriate loan. To Apply for Financial Aid Financial aid information is available at www.augsburg.edu/enroll Applicants must be admitted to Augsburg as regular students or be returning students ingood academic standing to be eligible for financial aid. Applicants for graduate study must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To complete and submit the FAFSA electronically, go to www.augsburg.edu/enroll If a student is selected for verification, additional documents will be needed. Students in this situation will be contacted by the Enrollment Center. Finanical Policies Refund Schedule Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based on the appropriate refund schedule (except for the minimum charge of $100 to cover administrative costs). Financial aid may also be adjusted for those students who withdraw from the College or drop one or more courses and receive financial assistance. [NOTE: Tuition refunds and financial aid adjustments are not necessarily made on a one-to-one basis. For example, you could receive a 60% tuition refund but have 80% of your financial aid returned. Be sure you understand the financial consequences of making adjustments to your registration.] Students are responsible for canceling courses through the Enrollment Center in order to be eligible for any refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed. The refund schedule is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. All refunds of charges will be applied to the student account 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. Allow two weeks for a refund. The refund is a percentage of the full tuition charged, not a percentage of any deposit paid toward tuition, e.g. deposits made under the employer reimbursement payment plan.

Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and elsewhere. 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 themes include relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. You can read about each theme on the following page, but for the MAE program, I want to highlight one of the program themes—leadership. As this program theme suggests, we expect our students to leave our programs as responsive, knowledgeable teachers prepared to exercise leadership in the classroom and, eventually, the school and community. Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through a combination of course content, field experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students will leave our programs as collaborative and capable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. OUR FACULTY Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors, all of whom have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all fulltime faculty members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision, volunteer work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do. We value good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers. OUR ACCESSIBILITY We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and personal responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings and weekends to allow you to manage these responsibilities while pursuing your goals. You will need to be available during the weekday for the challenge and responsibility of field experiences, but education coursework is accessible through the weekend and evening schedules. As a student in Augsburg’s Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly qualified teacher—the teacher you can become. Vicki L. Olson, PhD Director, Master of Arts in Education Graduate Catalog I 20 Master of Arts in Education Education Department Mission The mission of the Augsburg Education Department is to develop responsive, knowledgeable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. Program Themes Responsive, knowledgeable teachers understand the dynamic interaction among relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. These four interrelated program themes provide lenses through which we filter our practice. Relationships Learning is relational and communal. Responsive teachers create significant relationships with their students, colleagues, and community partners by developing learning communities. These nurturing learning communities provide a safe, trustworthy place where challenging and engaging questions can be considered. We model the kinds of learning communities that we expect our graduates to create. We share with our students a learning model that connects content, theory, and practice in an ongoing cycle. Students and their learning are the focus for responsive teachers. Therefore we embrace and foster a progressive and constructivist orientation. Reflection and Inquiry Responsive teachers are reflective practitioners who are students of teaching and learning. Providing numerous frameworks through which to filter our experience encourages intentional and thoughtful inquiry. Through field placements, service learning, generative questions, and classroom experiences, students and faculty develop their perspectives about teaching and learning. Critical reflection allows us to examine content, theory, and practice in ways that transform our practice. We think it is important to understand and learn how to manage the many polarities inherent in the teaching and learning process. Diversity and Equity Responsive teachers embrace diversity and intentionally work to ensure that all learners, especially those who for some reason have been marginalized, learn and develop in powerful ways. We continually reflect on what it means to be a “school in the city.” We recognize that each student is unique, shaped by culture and experience; therefore, differentiating instruction is essential. The perspective of multiple intelligences, learning style theory and teaching for understanding help us differentiate and enable us to provide choice, variety, and flexibility. Responsive teachers believe that all students can learn. They also have a sense of efficacy and believe that they can help all students learn. Leadership Responsive teachers recognize that becoming a learning leader is a developmental process, which begins in pre-service edu- cation and continues throughout one’s career. Teachers serve as leaders within the classroom, and with experience, increased confidence, and professional development become leaders within the school, the district, and the community. Teacher leaders view themselves as lifelong learners. They become role models committed to their profession as a vocation rather than a job. Emerging teacher leaders keep student learning at the center of their work while advocating for instructional innovation, constructivist curricular development, and systemic change. Master of Arts in Education Conceptual Framework Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion programs. The Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their institutions and communities. The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the combined undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students are required to include coursework focused on leadership and study aspects of leadership as part of their degree program. Third, the final project—be it an action research, a leadership application project, or the performance assessment course—gives students the opportunity to study an issue of concern and, supported by research, define a means for addressing it. Program Overview The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) is designed to provide a teaching license as part of a master’s degree program. K-12 initial teaching licenses offered at Augsburg include: • Elementary education (K-6), with or without a middle school specialty area endorsement in math, communication arts, social studies, or science. Also available is the pre-primary endorsement to the elementary license. • Secondary education (5-12 and K-12) in social studies, communication arts/literature, visual arts, health, mathematics, music, and physical education; and 9-12 in biology, chemistry, and physics. • K-12 special education, emotional and behavioral disabilities • K-12 special education, learning disabilities Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE degree through the following four licensure endorsement options: • Pre-Kindergarten endorsement • K-12 special education: emotional and behavioral disabilities • K-12 special education: learning disabilities • K-12 reading endorsement (This program is under revision. Consult the Education Department for current status.) Augsburg College I 21 Master of Arts in Education All teachers seeking licensure through Augsburg must take and pass all tests required by the state of Minnesota for licensure. The MAE degree is also available without a license but with an education core. Accreditations and Approvals Augsburg College is accredited by: • The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools • National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education Augsburg College is approved by the Minnesota Board of Teaching. For a complete list of accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see page 9. area endorsements, 5-12 social studies, 5-12 communication arts, and K-12 art. Additional licenses in the following areas are available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, and weekend schedules: biology, chemistry, health, mathematics, music, physical education, and physics. For these licenses, the education and degree completion courses are taken during the weekend and weekday evenings while some if not all of the content area courses are taken during the weekday. The weekend schedule is comprised of three trimesters spread from early September through late June. In general, classes are held every other weekend. The weekday schedule is comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. Classes offered during the weekday meet two or three times per week. Classes offered jointly between weekday and weekend meet on a weekly basis in the evening. The official academic calendars can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Program Structure The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program is made up of a core of education licensure courses coupled with a degree completion option. Courses in the degree completion phase are drawn from the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) and graduate courses in education. Most students in the MAE program pursue a K-12 teaching license as part of their program plan. The MAE degree is also open to students who do not want a teaching license but do want a background in education and leadership. The MAE degree requires 9.0 or 10.0 Augsburg graduate level courses, depending on the degree completion option. In addition, several courses at the undergraduate level are required for licensure. Only courses taken at the graduate level apply towards the MAE degree. Course Credit A full-credit graduate or undergraduate course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course offered within the weekend schedule meets for 28 hours with the expectation of substantial independent study outside of class. Schedule The majority of the education courses in the MAE licensure and degree programs are offered through the weekend schedule. Some education courses and many undergraduate content area courses are offered on a weekday evening schedule. The MAL degree completion courses are offered primarily through the weekend schedule. Summer session courses are offered weekdays and weekday evenings. The following teaching licenses are available entirely through the weekday evening and weekend schedule: elementary education, middle school and preprimary specialty Graduate Catalog I 22 Curriculum—Teaching Licenses K-6 Elementary Education This program is designed to prepare teachers for grades K-6. Optional endorsements in middle school specialty areas of math, science, social studies, and communication arts and in pre-kindergarten can be pursued along with or separately from the K-6 license. The teaching license and some endorsements are offered at both undergraduate and graduate levels through a mix of undergraduate courses and combined graduate and undergraduate courses. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet MAE admissions criteria.

K-12 licenses prepare teachers to teach a content area across elementary, middle school, and high school. Licenses for grades 5- 12 prepare teachers to teach at the middle and high school levels. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet MAE admissions criteria. The following content area majors are offered almost entirely on weekends and weekday evenings: communication arts/literature, history or economics or psychology or sociology (all for social studies), art. Students seeking 5–12 licensure in social studies must complete a broad-based core of courses in the social studies in addition to a social science major. Education courses for these licenses are also taken during weekends and weekday evenings. The following content area majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry, physics, health, physical education, music, and mathematics. Students seeking licensure in any of these areas will likely need to take additional content courses in the weekday schedule. Students can obtain a 9–12 license in physics, chemistry, or biology and have the option of adding the 5–8 general science to the 9–12 license. Students also can obtain the 5–8 general science license without the 9–12 license. Education courses for these licenses are taken during weekends and weekday evenings. Licensure Requirements The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure; four to six of them also may be taken at the graduate level and applied toward the master’s degree in education.

Special Education There are two licensure options in the K–12 Special Education program: emotional/behavioral disabilities (EBD) and learning disabilities (LD). Both programs qualify students to teach in special education programs and positions; many students get licensure in both. The MAE program with licensure in special education is based on an innovative internship model that allows students employed in EBD and/or LD classrooms to fulfill a portion of their special education field experience requirements while they work. Students not employed in these settings are expected to complete a significant number of volunteer hours in special education settings. All must complete field placements or student teaching in EBD and/or LD classrooms across elementary, middle school, and high school. Specific information on field experience requirements is available from the Education Department. Also available is the Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort—This graduate licensure program in Special Education: EBD/LD is designed and taught from an American Indian perspective. It is offered in collaboration with the University of Minnesota-Duluth as a hybrid (partly face-to-face and partly online) cohort program. The licensure courses can be applied towards the MAE degree. See the Education Department and www.augsburg/edu/mae/academics/ais_focus.html for more information. The course descriptions are included below. The EBD/LD licensure programs are offered through the weekend trimester schedule. The Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort program is offered through the semester schedule.

At Augsburg College, we believe that our distinctive educational purpose is to help you, the individual student, find your calling at work and in the world. The Augsburg graduate programs are designed to offer you quality educational experiences, personal attention, and opportunities to expand your personal and professional talents and skills. We are confident that our graduates are prepared for leadership in our ever-changing global society, the hallmark of an Augsburg degree. Sincerely, Paul C. Pribbenow President, Augsburg College Greetings from the Academic Affairs Office Welcome to our graduate programs. We are committed to education that prepares people for leadership in their communities and places of work. We believe that the liberal and professional arts and sciences form the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Our locations in the vital metropolitan areas of Minneapolis/St. Paul and Rochester offer exciting and challenging field experiences for courses that include real-life learning through academic internships, experiential education, and cultural enrichment. The Twin Cities and Rochester become extended campuses for Augsburg students. Also, the diversity in our campus community ensures that our graduates are prepared for the range of experiences and perspectives that characterize today's global environment. When you join Augsburg you become part of a community that offers lifelong learning opportunities in state-of-the-art classrooms, with accessible libraries and dedicated faculty and staff. You join a body of experienced people who quickly form your network of employer connections and career opportunities. We encourage our alumni to become your mentors and build on our city connections through public events, including our convocations and Advent Vespers. All our programs share distinctive qualities, including our commitment and mission to be of service, with one another and to our neighbors. We expect our graduates to have their eyes on the world as they develop their identity as global citizens, with a sense of responsibility to participate in socially- and economicallysustainable development. We hope that at some time during your degree, you'll explore the opportunities to participate in an international learning experience-for example, travel seminars to our global campuses in Central America, Mexico, and Namibia, and opportunities to meet visiting students and faculty members from our partner institutions in Norway, Germany, Finland, and Slovenia. Inspired by the faith of our Lutheran founders to be inclusive to the early immigrants who came to Augsburg's doors, we welcome a diversity of cultures and faiths . Although each graduate program has its own "neighborhood" and unique features, we encourage interdisciplinary courses and opportunities for you to study with colleagues across disciplines. We encourage both "horizontal" initiatives-i.e., cross-program collaboration-as well as "vertical" initiatives-engaging our undergraduate students to consider graduate work. This means that sometimes you may be encouraging classmates who are just beginning to imagine a graduate degree. We are companions on your journey in fulfilling your dream of a graduate degree and we cannot wait to meet you. Sincerely, ~C.~ Barbara A.

Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, act ethically and communicate effectively in a global world. The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg mission, informed by the liberal and professional arts and sciences, to serve our neighbors in the heart of the city with faith-based, ethical values. We welcome students from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Also, our programs look to the world through international courses and cultural exchanges. MISSION STATEMENT The mission of Augsburg College is 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. HISTORY A College of the Church Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869 , in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879. Early Leaders Establish a Direction August Weenaas was Augsburg's first president (1869-1876). Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway-Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students for theological study. In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students; and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is also practical. and city life. This early interest in professional life as well education is a celebrated theme in our history and has led to the fusion of the liberal and professional arts as a hallmark of the Augsburg College graduate. Augsburg's next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to church and community has been Augsburg's theme for over 130 years. After World War II, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College was a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention. Education for Service Keeping the vision of the democratic college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second president (1876-1907), required students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education for Service." In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary. The Focus Changed This attitude began to change after World War I. In 1911 , George Sverdrup Jr, became president. He worked to develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She spent the next 42 years at the College as a teacher and administrator. The College's mission assumed a double character-ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (1938-1962). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church Accreditation for the College Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college program based on general education requirements and elective majors. With curriculum change came a concerted effort to become accredited. Full accreditation was achieved in 1954. A study in 1962 defined the College's mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. Subsequently, the American Lutheran Church merged with two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Students at Augsburg College benefit from the Lutheran tradition of service to your neighbor and faith in the city. A College in the City Paul C. Pribbenow became the 10th president of Augsburg College in July 2006. Under his leadership, the College aims to educate students of all ages-in the midst of a great city-to be faithful citizens, in service to the world. AUGSBURG TODAY Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed: • Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically and broadly about the world and the work we do in it; 1 • An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and centers of faith; • The city-with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity-is an unequaled learning environment. Augsburg is a college of the liberal and professional arts and sciences, with its main campus set in the heart of a great metropolitan center. There are now over 20,000 Augsburg alumni. In a world that has changed much since those first days of the College, Augsburg still sends out graduates who make a difference where they live and work. In addition to undergraduate liberal arts and sciences, Augsburg offers master's degree programs in education, leadership, nursing, business, physician assistant studies, and social work, plus a dual degree MSW/MA or MSW/MDiv with Luther Seminary Augsburg is enhanced by its global centers in Namibia, Mexico, and Central America. Students can perform research, take courses, or consult with faculty in those locations to gain new perspectives on their discipline. A Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg's graduate programs is participation in a community of adult learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages students to make use of all College facilities such as Lindell Library, the Kennedy Center, and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Graduate Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching and service to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their 2 teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories. www.augsburg.edu/rochester or by calling the Adult and Graduate Admissions Office at 612-330-1101, or the Rochester program office at 507-288-2886. Augsburg's small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. Augsburg's Rochester campus is located in the facilities of Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA) just a few blocks south of the heart of a city of approximately 100,000 residents. Situated in the heart of the Midwest, the community has a rich ethnic diversity and superior technological resources. Students at the Rochester campus are students of Augsburg College. As such, our purpose is to "educate for service," by preparing and equipping women and men to make a difference in the world.

Academic Programs and Policies ACADEMIC CALENDARS Most of our graduate programs meet on a trimester calendar. Physician Assistant Studies classes meet on a semester day schedule. The academic calendars for individual programs can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change. ACADEMIC POLICIES The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges. Academic Honesty A college is a community of learners whose relationship relies on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity and credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg College community. Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a College requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student pledging to abide by the College's academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. (See Augsburg's Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/) Academic Evaluation Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0 achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for details of field study and special projects. Students must achieve a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Withdrawn Status W-Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record Incomplete (I) Grades An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor gran ts 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; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student's program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Academic Probation Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistan must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Attendance Policy Class attendance is expected and should be considered a responsibility, not only to one's self, but to one's classmates and course instructor. Students must notify the professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible, students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible. Continuation Policy for Thesis or Final Project Students enrolled in a thesis or final project are subject to a continuation fee schedule after the term in which tuition was paid for the project. These continuation fees maintain a student's library, AugNet, and parking privileges while work on the final project is ongoing. During this time of research and writing, students pay either a $10 campus access fee or a $200 continuation fee each term until the project is completed, or until the time limit for project completion is reached. The schedule for when each fee is applied varies among programs. Course credit and contact hours A full credit course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course on the trimester schedule meets for approximately 28 contact hours (MSW trimesters meet for 32 hours, and the PA weekday semester schedule is approximately 45 hours) with the expectation of substantial independent and group study offered through the web-based electronic course management system. Degree Requirements To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following: • Successful completion of all required courses • A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. • Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed continuation agreement with Augsburg College. Dismissal for Academic Performance A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3 .0 in most programs) in two or more terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out with the program director. 5 Dismissal for Non-Professional Behavior Students may be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the College. Dropping Courses or Withdrawing Students who enroll in courses but later decide not to attend must formally drop their courses through the registrar's office prior to the start of classes to avoid being charged for those courses. Students who do not properly drop courses will be responsible for the tuition, regardless of non-attendance. Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or in person at the Enrollment Center during hours of operation. If you need assistance with this, contact your program faculty at least two days in advance of the start of classes. Independent Study Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director in order to receive credit. Independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special independent study registration form is required and is available at the Enrollment Center. Terms of Non-attendance Students who interrupt their program enrollment for longer than one semester or three trimesters must readmit to the College and program to resume their degree program. For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their adviser and obtain the advice of their director. Evaluation of Transfer Credit Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide 6 appropriate documentation regarding previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university and graded 3.0/B or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program requirements at Augsburg. The maximum number of course credits that can be transferred to these program is as follows: Master of Arts in Education (2.0) Master of Arts in Leadership (2.0) the college community in regard to their personal and professional concerns. However, times do occur in which students think they have been mistreated. This procedure is provided in order to ensure that students are aware of the way in which their problems with faculty members can be resolved informally and to provide a more formal conciliation process when needed. Each student must be given adequate opportunity to bring problems to the attention of the faculty with the assurance that each will be given fair treatment. The faculty member must be fully informed of the allegations and given an opportunity to respond to them in a fair and reasonable manner. Master of Arts in Nursing (3.0) Master of Business Administration ( 6.0) Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator) Master of Social Work (8.0) Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter hours. Therefore, transfer credits that are reported to Augsburg as semester or quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by dividing by four or six respectively Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded on the student's transcript. Grades and gradepoints from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student's cumulative grade point average. STUDENT RIGHTS The College has adopted a statement of student rights and responsibilities and has provided for due process in the matter of disciplinary action, grievances, and grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg Student Guide, at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide. Students have a right to experience education without discrimination. Grievance Procedures Involving Augsburg College Faculty Members and Students Part I-Introduction/Preface Augsburg College is committed to a policy of treating fairly all members of Definition of Grievance A grievance is defined as dissatisfaction occurring when a student believes that any conduct or condition affecting her/him is unjust or inequitable, or creates unnecessary hardship. Such grievances include, but are not limited to a violation, misinterpretation, or inequitable application of an academic rule, regulation, or policy of the College or prejudicial, capricious, or manifestly unjust academic evaluation. College policies and procedures that do not come within the scope of the Grievance Procedures are the sexual harassment policy, the sexual violence policy, the Committee on Financial Petitions, Discipline Process, and Academic Standing. Time Limits Time limits will include only business days (M-F) for the program in which the student was enrolled. (Weekends, and vacation days are not included; summer may not be included depending on the student's program.) Part II-Informal Process It is always the student's responsibility to know these procedures and timelines and to follow them. A. Any time a student feels that she/he has been mistreated by a faculty member, the student should contact the faculty member to discuss the problem and attempt to resolve it. B. If no mutually satisfactory solution can be reached with the faculty member or if, in unusual circumstances, the student prefers not to confer with the faculty member, the student should discuss the problem with the department chairperson of the faculty member and attempt resolution of the problem. C. If the problem cannot be resolved in discussions with the faculty member or department chairperson, or if the faculty member and the department chairperson are the same individual, the student may contact the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. D. The student must begin the Informal Grievance process within 15 days of the conduct giving rise to the grievance, by submitting an Informal Grievance Form to the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. • The time limit to begin the Informal Grievance process for a grade appeal will be 30 days from the last published finals date for the relevant term. It is the responsibility of the student to maintain a correct and current address on file with the registrar. request for such extension before the end of the time limit. If the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College thinks the extension is warranted, the Dean will notify all concerned persons in writing. E. If the grievance has been resolved, either by agreement or by expiration of the time limits, a copy of the informal grievance and statements of the resolution will be kept by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College for one year. Neither a copy of nor any reference to the grievance will be placed in the personnel file of the respondent. If these informal discussions do not resolve the problem to the satisfaction of the student, a more formal conciliation procedure is available in Part Ill of this document. Note: A student must file a written grievance, per below, within five days after completion of the informal process Part III- Formal Process Preface If a student has a grievance with a faculty member that has not been resolved through the Informal Grievance Process described in Part II of this document, the student may then seek resolution through formal procedures. • The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College and the student must ensure the informal process is completed in 20 days . (See Part I for definition of time limits.) • In unusual circumstances, the time limit may be extended by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College . A grievant or respondent must submit a written In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following: Right to inspect and review education records You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg College. Your request should be submitted in writing at least one week prior to the date you wish to review your records. Right to request amendment of education records You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records as you requested. For a complete copy of the procedures, contact the dean's office, Academic Affairs. Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize disclosure without your permission. FER PA The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Augsburg College understands that no information other than "directory information" can be released without the written permission of the student. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. For example, this means that faculty or others cannot write letters of support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written permission is given by the student to release non-"directory information." It is not sufficient to ask for letters of recommendation. (See One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health stafD; person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility • If the student could not reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct when it occurred, the student will have 15 days to file the grievance from the date on which the student could reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct or condition that is the basis for the grievance . It is the responsibility of the student to establish the reasonableness of such non-awareness.

Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform Augsburg College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused. "Directory information" includes the following: • The student's name; • The student's address; • The student's telephone number; • The student's e-mail address; • The student's date and place of birth; • The student's major and minor field of study; • The student's academic class level; • The student's enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT); • The student's participation in officially recognized activities and sports; • The student's degrees and awards received; • The weight and height of members of athletic teams; • The student's dates of attendance; • The most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student; and • The student's photograph. Augsburg College will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such information be withheld. The Office of the Registrar 8 must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory Information. If the notice is not received by the registrar prior to Sept. 15 (or within 10 school days of the start of a subsequent term for a new student), it will be assumed that all Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder of the current academic year. A new notice for withholding disclosure must be completed each academic year. Right to complain to FERPA Office You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. S.W, Washington, D.C., 20202-4605, concerning Augsburg's failure to comply with FERPA.

GRADUATE ADMISSIONS Admission to Augsburg College All graduate programs require students to have a bachelor's degree from a regionally-accredited four-year institution. All graduate students must submit completed application forms that can be downloaded from each individual program's web page, as listed below. Each graduate program also has additional program requirements, which may include coursework, professional experience, testing, etc. See the program sections for these additional requirements.

A student acquires F-1 status using form 1-20, issued by a DBS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in one of two ways: 1) if the student is abroad, by entering the United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a U.S . consulate (although citizens of some countries are exempt from the visa requirement); or 2) if the student is already in the United States and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the 1-20 to USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an application for change of nonimmigrant status. A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer from another DHSapproved school to Augsburg by following the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations. Simply transferring academically from another school to Augsburg does not transfer a student's F-1 status unless the student and a Designated School Official (DSO) from Augsburg follow these procedures. The last day to receive approval for readmission to the College and register for classes is one business day prior to the start of the term. Pending approval by the graduate program, students who left on probation or who were dismissed from the College must have their readmission application and file reviewed by the program director. (Please consult with individual programs for information regarding readmission process). In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students must also comply with the following: ADMISSION OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS To fulfill this requirement Augsburg graduate programs require international applicants to submit an official score report from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 100 (iBT), 250 (CBT) or 600 (PBT). Augsburg College graduate programs encourage qualified applicants from other countries to apply. An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a "full course of study" to achieve a specific educational or professional objective at an academic institu- U.S. institution with a minimum of two years of successful academic work completed in the U.S. (seven or more courses) . B. Foreign Credential Evaluation Augsburg requires foreign credential evaluation for any transcript(s) from an institution outside of the United States. This evaluation should include the following: • Analysis of credentials-to determine if your degree is equivalent to an accredited U.S. bachelor's degree. Course-by-course evaluation-to show your complete course listing with credit values and grades received for each course. • Calculation of grade point averageto demonstrate your cumulative grade point average using the standard U.S. grading system, i.e., A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=l.0, F=O.O. • Translation to English (if applicable) The evaluation report must be sent directly to Augsburg's Adult and Graduate Admissions Office. Augsburg accepts foreign credential evaluations only from the following organization: World Education Services, Inc. www.wes.org A. Proof of English Competency C. Proof of Financial Support In order to receive an F-1 visa, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) regulations require international applicants to be sufficiently proficient in English to pursue a full course of study. International applicants must provide reliable documentation that they have financial resources adequate to meet expenses for the duration of their academic program, which include tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, health insurance, personal expenses , and living expenses for dependents (if applicable). The TOEFL is waived for applicants who have a four-year degree from a Funds may come from any dependable source, including scholarships, fellowships, sponsoring agencies, personal funds, or funds from the student's family. Documentation of scholarships and fellowships may be in the form of an 9 Applicants for graduate study must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To complete and submit the FAFSA electronically, go to www.augsburg.edu/enroll. For further information, contact the Enrollment Center, 612-330-1046, 1-800-458-1721, enroll@augsburg.edu, or www.augsburg.edu/enroll. If a student is selected for verification, additional documents will be needed. Students in this situation will be contacted by the Enrollment Center. FINANCIAL POLICIES Refund Schedule Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based on the appropriate refund schedule (except for the minimum charge of $100 to cover administrative costs). Financial aid may also be adjusted for those students who withdraw from the College or drop one or more courses and receive financial assistance. [NOTE: Tuition refunds and financial aid adjustments are not necessarily made on a one-to-one basis. For example, you could receive a 60% tuition refund but have 80% of your financial aid returned. Be sure you understand the financial consequences of making adjustments to your registration.] Students are responsible for canceling courses through the Enrollment Center in order to be eligible for any refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student's last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed. The refund schedule is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. All refunds of charges will be applied to the student account 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 . Allow two weeks for a refund. The refund is a percentage of the full tuition charged, not a percentage of any deposit paid toward tuition, e.g. deposits made under the employer reimbursement payment plan. 12 CONTAICTTMiE ENROLLMENT C:ENTE'R For info·rm:atlon on eost~ pa~tne11\ts1 flnamli'al aid, tuition disc·ounts, and rr-e~f.uad:s : 13 Master of Arts in Education Master of Arts in Education We are pleased with your interest in the Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program. Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and elsewhere. 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 leader-suggests 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 although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and personal responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings 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, PhD Director, Master of Arts in Education PROGRAMS ELEMENTARY EDUCATION The Education Department offers initial licenses as well as endorsements for already-licensed teachers that also lead to a master's degree. The range of licenses available is described below. The K-6 elementary with a middle school specialty license allows you to teach in grades K-6 and in your specialty area of math, science, social studies, or language arts in middle school. As an alternative to the middle school specialty, MAE elementary licensure students can pursue a prekindergarten specialty. Licensure requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. That means classes will include both undergraduate and graduate students, with graduate students having additional course responsibilities. Graduate courses are taken at the 500 level. Elementary education specialty areas in math, communication arts, and social studies are available through weekend and weekday evening courses. The science specialty area is available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, and weekend courses. Secondary education licensure is available through weekend and weekday evening courses in social studies, communication arts/literature, and K-12 visual arts. Licenses in other majors, including biology, chemistry, health education, mathematics, music education, physical education, and physics can be completed through a combination of weekend, weekday evening, and weekday courses. All of the following courses must be taken for licensure, and four to six of them may be taken at the graduate (500) level and applied toward the master's degree in education. EDC 200/522 Orientation to Education (1.0)* EDC 206/566 Diversity/Minnesota American Indians (1.0) EDC 310/533 Learning and Development (1.0)* Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE degree through the following four licensure options: EDC 410/544 Learners with Special Needs (1.0)* Pre-K specialty area endorsement EED 320/520 K-6 Methods: Reading (1.0)* EDC 490/580 School and Society (1.0) K-12 special education: emotional and behavioral disabilities K-12 special education: learning disabilities K-12 reading endorsement Education Department Mission To complete the license, you will also need to complete the following requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE 115 Chemical Dependency (.5) EDC 220 Educational Technology (.5) The Augsburg College Education Department commits itself to developing future educational leaders who foster student learning and well-being by becoming knowledgeable in content, competent in pedagogy, and ethical in practice, and by building relationships, embracing diversity, reflecting critically, and collaborating effectively. EED 311 K-6 Methods: Health (.25) Master of Arts in Education Conceptual Framework EED 350 K-6 Methods: Math (1.0) * Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion programs. The Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their institutions and communities. EED 360 K-6 Methods: Science (l.O)* The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the combined undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students are required to include at least two graduate-level courses from our Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program. This provides students the chance to study aspects of leadership as part of their degree program. Third, the final project-be it an action research or a leadership application project-gives students the opportunity to define an issue of concern and, supported by research, take on a leadership role in addressing it.

A minimum of 100 hours in the classroom and educationrelated settings is required prior to student teaching. Students spend approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences. These experiences occur in K-8 classrooms during the weekday. Undergraduate Liberal Arts Requirements The number of supporting content area courses required for licensure depends upon the courses completed as part of the bachelor's degree and/or other coursework Requirements are determined by Minnesota licensure standards for specific college-level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary licensure. Specific requirements are on file in the Education Department. Minnesota licensure standards in a specialty area for middle school: subject area specialties are offered in communication arts/literature, social studies, math, and science. The pre-K specialty is also available. Specific requirements are on file in the Education Department. Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if i.t meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. The Education Department and the content area departments determine the courses that are accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. Courses that are older than seven years are judged on a case-by-case basis. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree.

Undergraduate Content Area Requirements The equivalent of a major in a content area is required for K12 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 content area coursework tied to licensure standards is generally required, even with a completed academic major. The following majors are offered almost entirely on weekends and weekday evenings: communication arts/literature, history or economics or psychology or sociology (all for social studies), art. Students seeking 5-12 licensure in social studies must complete a broad-based core of courses in the social studies in addition to a social science major. The following majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry; physics, health, physical education, music, and mathematics. Students seek- ing licensure in any of these areas will likely need to take additional content courses in the weekday schedule. Students can obtain a 9-12 license in physics, chemistry, or biology and have the option of adding the 5-8 general science to the 9-12 license. Students also can obtain the 5-8 general science license without the 9-12 license. Previous coursework is evaluated by the content area department and accepted if it meets Minnesota licensure standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. Coursework older than seven years is judged on a case-by-case basis. Education Department policy requires that a minimum of two content area courses be taken at Augsburg. Specific course requirements for each content area are on file in the Education Department. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree program.

SPECIAL EDUCATION The MAE program with licensure in special education is based on an innovative 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. There are two licensure options in the K-12 Special Education program: emotional/behavioral disabilities (EBD), and learning disabilities (LD).

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 (1.0)* ESE 500 Reading/Writing in the Content Areas (1.0)* *The courses 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; ESE 300/500 is part of the secondary initial licensure program. The rigor of the courses is increased at the graduate level. Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching license and who are graduates of Augsburg College within the past seven years will not be required to retake the entire version of EED 320/520 or ESE 300/500. However, they will be expected to complete the requirements for the graduate portion of the course they have already taken within the context of a half-credit independent study. If the graduate course was taken as a part of initial licensure (EED 520 or ESE 500) students do not need to repeat the course; however, if ESE 500 was taken without a field experience, 20 hours in a high school or middle school reading setting must be completed. EDC 505 K-12 Literature in the Classroom (.5) EDC 508 K-12 Reading Assessment and Evaluation (1.0)* EDC 510 Clinical and Reading Program Leadership (1.0)* Reading license candidates who already have received their initial K-8 teaching licensure and who are graduates of Augsburg College, but not within the past seven years, will be required to take EED 520 or ESE 500 at the graduate level. *Field experience required Reading Endorsement Course Descriptions EED 320/520 K-6 Methods: Reading* The study and use of a variety of teaching techniques and resources in reading, including the diagnosis and correction of reading difficulties. Should be taken at the graduate level for the reading endorsement. (Prereq.: PPST and admission to the department) Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching licensure and who are not graduates of Augsburg College will be expected to take EED 520 and ESE 500. STUDENT TEACHING Education students are required to complete student teaching in their content area. In the MAE program, student teaching is generally completed before finishing the degree. Students can apply for licensure at this point. Student teaching for elementary and secondary initial licenses lasts 12-14 weeks, depending on licensure scope. During that time, students work full time as student teachers and are supervised by an Augsburg faculty member. Students register for two to three credits of student teaching and meet at Augsburg College for a student teaching seminar several times during the term. Most student teaching placements are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area and Rochester. However, students do have the opportunity to student teach abroad, where students 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. Additional information is available through the Education Department. Student teaching for special education is completed as part of the internship year if students are working in a licensure appropriate setting. If not, student teaching is carried out after completing the special education coursework. A supervised practicum for the reading endorsement is completed as part of EDC 510 Clinical and Reading Program Leadership. No further student teaching is required for this endorsement. GRADUATE DEGREE COMPLETION Students take graduate coursework as part of the licensure program. This coursework forms the Master of Arts in Education core, with between four to six Augsburg graduatelevel licensure courses fulfilling master's requirements. 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: • a research methods course, typically ML 514 • an elective course chosen from leadership-focused courses in the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program The goal for the graduate degree completion component is to foster the development of teachers as leaders within the institution and community as in line with our program theme and department mission statement. Graduate Degree Completion Course Descriptions Research Methods Course All students seeking the Master of Arts in Education degree must complete a graduate-level research requirement. ML 514 Research Methods Evaluation and documentation of programs, projects, and ideas as they relate to leadership theories and practice. Qualitative and quantitative tools will be discussed. MAE Final Project Options Students have two options for fulfilling their Master of Arts in Education final project: a leadership application project (LAP) or action research. This project serves as the capstone of the master's program. EDC 585 Leadership Application Project The leadership application project (LAP) 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 LAP is the demonstration of leadership ability through a concrete project appropriate to the candidate's workplace or place of service. EDC 586 Action Research in Education (.5 course) This course will introduce students to action research, a form of research that simultaneously contributes to the practical concerns of people while furthering the goals of social science. It requires active self-reflective inquiry and collaboration. Action research is 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 is the first of a two-trimester course. • 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. A minimum of four graduate-level licensure courses are required for the MAE degree. The research methods course will help prepare students to evaluate and document research for use in their final project or paper. This course examines both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The leadership elective courses allow students to examine issues of leadership at a personal or ins ti tu tional level. 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 (LAP) or action research course sequence and project. EDC 587 Action Research (.5 course) The second term of this course involves intensive data analysis, writing, and sharing of the degree candidate's research. It requires active self-reflective inquiry and collaboration. The trimester will culminate with a symposium in which student work will be presented in a public forum. MAL Elective Courses At least one elective must be taken from the Master of Arts in Leadership courses. The following are recommended, but others may also be used. ML 510 Visions of Leadership: A Historical and Literary Journey ML 511 Creativity and the Problem-Solving Process ML 520 Self-Identity, Values, and Personal Growth ML 530 Ethics in Communication ML 531 The Dynamics of Change ML 545 Decision Making and Leadership Credit Evaluation: An official transfer credit evaluation of your previous academic work will be completed as part of the admissions process. ML 550 Communication, Decision Making, and Technology ML 560 Developing a Multicultural Perspective Advising and Registration: You are able to participate in ML 565 Women and Leadership academic advising and the registration process after you have been accepted. ML 599 Special Topics (as appropriate) ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Students admitted into the MAE program must have completed: • a bachelor's degree from a regionally-accredited four-year institution, and can obtain licensure at the graduate level • cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher (required for full admission for the graduate licensure option and degree program). Students with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5-3.0 may be admitted conditionally into the graduate licensure program. They can apply to the MAE full licensure and degree program after achieving 3.0 or better in two (2.0) Augsburg courses. Minimum Grade Policy and Academic Probation Students who fail to maintain a cumulative 3.0 GPA in a given term in graduate course work are notified that they are on academic probation and have one term to raise their GPA to the required level. Failure to do so could mean dismissal from the program. Students who receive below a 2.0 in any course required for licensure-undergraduate or graduate-are notified that they are on academic probation and must repeat that course as soon as possible and raise it to the appropriate level. Failure to do so could mean dismissal from the pr
